Hey guys, I'm back! XD Sorry, I just really needed that, but now we can get back into this. Just warning you all now, I'm not going to be very detailed about the fight since it's the same as the movie - just with my OC in it. Other than that, I hope you enjoy! ^-^

Recap: "Where are we?" Uryu asked.

"Looks like a graveyard for those monsters," Renji observed. (AN: I'll be changing that in the last chapter at some point.)

"That's because it is," Kokuto stated.

"Where's Yuzu?" Ichigo asked.

"Don't worry, darling. I'll give you what you want," A voice said from above, and Ichigo saw one of the Sinners about to land on top of him, so he jumped off the skull. Not long after he landed again, two other Sinners showed up.

The nickname that the fat Sinner called Ichigo made Brielle wonder if he was gay, or if he was just saying that because her soul brother is a kid still. She hoped it was the latter, even though she has nothing against gay people. (AN: I really don't. A friend of mine is bi, so I don't care all that much.) She just didn't like the idea of someone that's from Hell being attracted to the orange-haired teen.

"Oh, great, these guys again," Renji muttered in dismay.

Ichigo glared at the three Sinners. "Give me back my sister, darn it!" He demanded while swiping his hand.

"We'll give her back as long you scratch our back, and then we'll scratch yours." The ball-shaped Sinner then reached for his cloak. "This would much easier if we didn't wear these ridiculous cloaks!" He said while ripping the piece of cloth off of him. "Ta-da!"

Brielle jumped at what the guy looked like underneath, and on instinct, fired at fire ball with a bazooka; it almost hit him, but he dodged out of the way in time.

"Hey, what's the big idea!?" The Sinner that almost died from the fire ball shouted.

"Sorry, reflex," Brielle called back up to him. 'Darn, I missed. He's in desperate need of a makeover.' "You were saying?" She gestured with her hand to tell him to continue.

"As I was saying: my name is Taikon," The now named Taikon said while glaring at Brielle.

"I'm Gunjo," The guy with tentacle arms introduced.

"I'm Garogai; welcome to Hell," The buff guy greeted.

"The greeting is only for one person, the rest may leave," Gunjo stated.

Brielle cupped her hands around her mouth. "We're not going anywhere!" She told them. "If you don't want us here, then do something about it." Ichigo could hear the smile in his sister's voice. The air here must also be affecting her. Then again, it did before when they were here last time. She couldn't stop being impy. Being around dark energy makes her evil side surface.

Ichigo knew that Taikon is about to attack Brielle, because he is gritting his teeth at her. So, he attacks the Sinner before he could move. This starts the fight between the Sinners, Ichigo, and his friends and sister.

Uryu tried to attack Taikon as well, but the Sinner was eating the arrows. He tells them that he can swallow reishi.

They land on the edge of a wall, and Kokuto tells them to be careful because the Sinners are way stronger in Hell than they were in the World of the Living; much to Uryu's dismay.

They keep fighting and everyone notices that the Sinners keep targeting Ichigo more than them, but they didn't show it. Kokuto tells Ichigo that Yuzu is still farther down, making Rukia and Renji tell him to go on ahead. Ichigo, Kokuto, and Brielle start running to get to the next level with Rukia trying to follow, but she had to stop a tsunami that was created by a giant thing of rubble that was thrown by Garogai.

Ichigo, Kokuto, and Brielle were able to dive into the water and get away, and made it to the next level that was filled with pools of yellow stuff; the soul siblings didn't know what it was. They find out thanks to a Kushanada coming out if it and hitting Kokuto with its hand that was still covered with the stuff. Kokuto hit the ground with burns, and the guard tried to kill him, but to Brielle's disappointment, Ichigo saved him by cutting the Kushanada in half, and then grabbing him and bringing him up to higher ground so the acid didn't kill him.

"Are you okay?" Ichigo asked after putting Kokuto down.

"Don't worry, this is nothing. In Hell, you get use to this kind of pain," Kokuto explained. "Come on, we should keep moving to find your sister." The white-haired man started walking, but stumbled due to the pain, but Ichigo caught him.

"Why are you so concern about my sister?" Ichigo asked softly.

Kokuto didn't say anything for a moment. "I…had a sister once, but she was killed a long time ago, because I couldn't protect her." Ichigo didn't know what to say to that. "Promise me, Ichigo, that you will save your sister, that way she doesn't suffer the same fate mine did."

Ichigo nodded his head. "I will." After that's said, the three of them start to move for the next level.


"It is time to go," Asa said. She waited for most of the Sinners to leave, but there was still one out there, but she's not too worried about him.

"Okay, I'm ready," Yuzu said with determination.

"You remember what I taught you?" Yuzu nodded her head. While they waited for the right moment, Asa taught her how to use her powers, or at least two of them. "Then the moment you are back in the outside world, do what I've told." Asa finished talking so Yuzu can get away before the Sinners return.


~outside inner world with Yuzu~

Yuzu opened her eyes and saw that she was in a cage that is above a lava pit. She almost panicked, but she took a deep, quiet breath as to not alert the purple-haired Sinner. She closed her eyes for a moment and reached for a flame that is deep in her soul and wrapped her body in it. Thanks to this, Shuren was put into a state of shock while watching the human girl turn into a golden flamed phoenix that was too big for the cage that broke apart and fell into the lava pit below.

Yuzu is not as big as Ichigo when in demon form, but is just as big as her house. She flew up into the air and released a huge column of fire at the Sinner to distract him long enough for her to fly away; it worked since the flames almost kill Shuren, Asa helped with the power output for the flames. By the time Shuren recovered enough to get off the ground, Yuzu was already gone.

TBC


Now you see why Yuzu didn't need any saving. :) After this chapter, we have 6 more to go, so we're almost done! ;)

Shiro: "Two weeks," she said. TWO WEEKS MY BACKSIDE! DX It's been longer than that!

Enj/Bri: Sorry, even I forgot how long it's been since I last updated. :( I think it was around 4…5 weeks? Someone please tell me this.

Ichi: *not really caring about what we're talking about* O.O YUZU'S A DEMON?! D=

Enj/Bri: Yes, yes she is. ;)

Kon: I knew it! T^T

Enj/Bri: Who let him in?! *grabs Kon and throws him out the window*

Yuzu: Onii-chan, you have the funniest look on your face! X'D

Ichi: But…but…this isn't right. Yuzu's is like a little angel. How could you turn sweet, little Yuzu into a demon?

Enj/Bri: Because she can be scary when she wants to be – and evil.

Ichi: I need a walk to clear my head. *leaves the room*

Shiro: He's going to kill you when he comes back. You know this, right?

Enj/Bri: Yeah, I know. :(

Yuzu: Please review! ^-^
