Chapter 2-A stray cat's home

"What?!?!" Kes said standing up from her seat "then shouldn't we like do something…maybe?"

Just as Kes said a loud crashing noise was heard in the direction of the south of the building. All the espeda quickly ran out, as I ran down the hall I started to draw my zampakuto. Behind me was Stark,Tia Nnoitra,Uliquorra and Grimmjow the rest had stayed behind with Aizen-sama.

As we approached the source of the noise I noticed an entire wall had bin torn apart

"Shoot! Their already here!" I said as I put my sword back in the sheath "well that's the end of that!" I continued happily skipping the opposite way.

"Get back here!" Uliquorra said dragging me back to the front lines to face the rebellious Arancar.

Six of the Arancar emerged from the smoke, we each faced one at a time at first, until ten more emerged. I took out my poisonous needles and "Shoot! Their already here!" I said as I put my sword back in the sheath "well that's the end of that!" I continued happily skipping the opposite way.

"Get back here!" Uliquorra said dragging her back to the front lines to face the rebellious Arancar.

Six of the Arancar emerged from the smoke, we each faced one at a time at first, until ten more emerged. I took out my poisonous needles and started furiously stabbing them as she tried to stab me. As ten more emerged I felt my moves getting lazier and weighed down.

As I turned around to face another one I felt a fierce punch on my back, hitting my pressure points. "I-I c-cant m-m-move!" I said in desperation "Help!" I heard voices around me but all of them too distant. It was all black my body felt in pain.

I opened my eyes, but was unfamiliar with my surroundings. I felt cold metal around my hands; I was chained to the wall in a cell. "Hello?" I called out unsure of the answer I would get. There was no answer; I heard a door slam in the distant. Whispers all around me started to become louder and louder. "Oh she's here!" came a voice "Please Shira-chan! Help me!" came another, but no response came from all there pleading. A girl around my height showed up behind my cell door with keys in her hand, she wore a short white and orange dress, with small orange boots to match, her short orange hair framed her face, although a dark purple bruise pierced threw the entire outfit.

"Hi, my names Kes-chan!" I said with a smile,

the girl seemed shocked at my pleasant greeting, more whispers came from around the corner "What's that girl thinking" came a voice "she doesn't look amused! that girls done for!" came another

The girl had taken her keys and unlocked my door. Gasps came from around the room "come with me" she said in the most unemotional voice. I got up to follow her, as we walked; I saw arrancar locked in cages, they looked terribly sad.

"Uhmm excuse me, where am I?" I asked with a huge grin on my face,

"You've bin captured by the rebellious arrancar" she replied

"Oh snap!" I said puzzled "well that stinks, but you don't look like an arancar, who are you?" I said staring right at her

"I live to serve them" She said staring straight ahead

we approached a ordinary looking door "Wait here" She said going into the cafeteria.

~~
"Food!!" I said hastily grabbing at the bread

"Aren't you having any…uh what was your name again? I said falling over laughing

"It's Shira Naga Tani , I serve as taking care of the prisoners here" She replied

"But you're not an arancar….so why are you serving them…?" I asked suspiciously

"You're a Soul reaper why are you serving Aizen?"

"Ohh Touché" I said taking another bite of bread "It's because…I have no were else to go…now will you tell me??" I asked with a smile.

"I'm here because I also have no were else to go"

"Where did you get that bruise?"

"Oh…this? While some other arancar and I was putting you in the cell…you punched me in your sleep…"

"Oh dear…" I said as I felt a sweat drop slide down the side of my head

we talked after that for a couple hours until…

A loud crashing noise filled the air as I stood up to survey the area.

"That would be your Espeda buddies" Shira said also standing up

"It sounds like their firing cero's" I continued "we have to go, follow me" I said running toward anywhere that wasn't collapsing in on us.

I looked back to see arancar being crushed by the heavy boulders from there fortress.

"Wait!" cried Shira " I cant come with you anymore"

"What?? Shira why?" I asked hesitantly
"Because this place is my home I have no where else to go…!" Shira said looking down at the floor.

"You're my friend Shira! You can stay with me at Las Noches!" I said holding out my hand "C'mon!"

As she started coming over, as soon as she moved one foot the roof started to cave in right over my head. "well that can't be good" I said optimistically

"Kes move!!" I heard Shira shout my name…but then the rest was blur.

When I woke up I was beside the caved in boulders.

"Shira?!" I screamed at the top of my lungs "Shira are you there?"

I looked down at the boulders to orange colored hair sticking out

"Shira!" I screamed as I pushed the rocks out of the way, as the rocks caved in around me.

"Shira, are you okay?" I asked

"No I'm just peachy,200k rocks cave in on my back and no, it's all good!" she said angrily

"I think that's the most emotional thing you said all day!" I said smiling

"I'm dieing aren't I?" Shira said closing her eyes, then re opening them again

"No it's barley even a flesh wound!" I blatantly Lied

"thanks for that, I-I hope you find what your searching for"

"What?" I replied

"your little brother" she smiled

I smiled as I tried to pull her out

"Go" Shira said as she closed her eyes

I started running away then it him me like a rock, the memories flowed back to me, tears dropped from my eyes, I quickly whipped them away and turned around.

"Kes" a familiar voice called
"Uliquorra!" I called "Help me!"
