Winter Break –Soon to be gone

Homework – not gone

Life sucks, this chapter doesn't. (I AM NOT EMO :P)

I am SOOO sorry - okay I had written this chapter during Winter Break and I honestly thought I had uploaded it. My deepest apologies . Argh, I feel like such an idiot... I was wondering why I wasn't getting any emails from after releasing a new chapter and then I realized 'oh... I didn't even upload the new chapter' -sigh-... I feel bad now...

Chapter 11 – Round 1, FIGHT!

Ichimaru Gin vs Kira Izuru…START!

"Kira-kun! Whadda pleasan' surprise!" Gin exclaimed with a large smirk the hid his shock and slight annoyance as well as a few other emotions which he couldn't place at the moment. Kira said nothing in reply and leaped quickly to attack Gin, his former captain was shocked at Kira's sudden growth in strength and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"That was a lucky dodge, but you will not dodge the next attack!" Kira growled, something that the boy had never done in his life. If Gin was any normal person he probably would've been afraid of this new, hostile blond boy.

"Ah… could you please move this fight outside? There is a young girl in your presence!" Urahara's voice rang out through the still silence after Kira's latest comment. The obviously hypnotized fukutaicho glanced at Urahara with a mixture of disgust and annoyance, and then his eyes caught onto the young girl who was standing quite defiantly behind Gin with a large and actually quite frightening glare on her face. Something in Kira's mind clicked, but it wasn't enough to bring him back to his senses.

"Silence prisoner! I will take care of you later, after I kill Gin and that girl!"

Gin raised his eyebrow and then laughed, "Kill me? Kira-kun… I thin' ya're mistaken, I ain't dyin no time soon…" He charged straight at the hypnotized boy, Shinso in hand, but before the swords met, Gin flicked his wrist quickly and sliced Kira's right arm open while dodging Wabisuke (Kira's zanpakto) quickly. "Don't think I'm gonna let ya hit my Shinso, I know all 'bout your Wabisuke's abilities!" Kira scowled but he didn't even seem to notice his injury. A frown appeared on the Gin's fox-like face.

Kira lunged, even though his sword arm was bleeding profusely, he didn't seem to notice, his swing was weak. Incredibly weak, and his arm was shaking quite un-controllably. Gin side-stepped and then kicked his opponent at the wall, what was Aizen playing at? Did he really think that he, Ichimaru Gin, had become so weak as to not be able to take on his own fukutaicho? He had to admit, yeah, Kira had gotten better but not by a lot. As he was lost in thought, Kira took this chance to try get another hit on his ex-captain.

"Gotta wait another 'undred years b'fore ya can land a hit on me, Izuru!" Gin whispered into Kira's ear, then he quickly dodged his opponents zanpakuto and landed beside Rangiku who by now was standing stock still in fear and something a bit to amusement. She didn't know how she could tell, but she just could tell that this new arrival was no match whatsoever to the silver-haired man standing before her. She had wanted to laugh at first when she had seen the fight but she thought laughing wouldn't have been a good idea and the gleaming swords scared her as well as intrigued her. While the young preschooler tried to sort out the many thoughts appearing quite suddenly in her head, Gin had picked up her and slung her across his shoulder and leaped out of Urahara's prison before Kira could even regain his composure.

"Sorry Izuru-chan, can't stay ta fight, gotta run!" Gin called back, Urahara laughed and watched Kira warily, the door to the prison slid shut, the blond boy snapped out of his daze and immediately chains appeared and wrapped around his ankles and wrists.

Oh dear… Urahara thought, Poor boy fell right into Aizen's little trap… he felt no sympathy for the boy. No, Urahara was cruel that way.

Winner:Ichimaru Gin

Yoruichi Shihouin vs Saiten (4th Espada)… START!

Where was she? One minute she was standing there watching Hitsugaya and Ichigo unsuccessfully try to break down a wall, next thing she knew, she was in some sort of room and there was someone standing in front of her. Wait a second… someone… in front of her…! Yoruichi barely managed to dodge the fireball that had been launched her way.

"Ah… I see you have some skill, Yoruichi Shihouin," Yoruichi looked at her opponent before her, he wasn't a person.

"How do you know my name?" She asked warily, trying to buy some time in order to calculate out who this new stranger was.

He was an average Japanese male height, his hair was a very light blond, almost white in the light and he seemed extremely calm and composed for someone who was about to fight in a battle. His eyes were closed and he wore the standard arrancar uniform, there no extra addition or anything special about it. Then she noticed the four on the right side of his neck, then she suddenly felt the suffocating reiatsu and this time, part of her hair had been singed in her attempt to block the next fireball being launched her, the suffocating reiatsu was making her movements extremely slow.

"Still managed to dodge? I must admit, quite impressive," Yoruichi would've laughed at the way he spoke if the situation was so serious. Honestly, he was like a robot, I am so impressed… oh yeah, impressed my ass, the dark-skinned woman thought with a small smirk, that didn't go unnoticed. "Do you find something funny?"

"No," she answered simply.

"I do not advise you to lie to me, and I no, I am not impressed at your anus if that is what you are implying," Yoruichi looked dumbly at the espada in front of her wonder if he was stupid. "I am not stupid either, impressed my ass? I am sorry, I do not understand those words and merely tried to make as much sense as I could out of them," he answered, my god he sounded like Mayuri's daughter… what was her name? Nemu? "Please do not think about other things as I am talking to you, if you could please, Yoruichi Shihouin,"

Yoruichi sighed, even though this was probably an extremely powerful opponent, she couldn't help but think that this must be some sort of joke, honestly this guy was a-, the paused… wait, he could read her mind. Ah, that made things complicated.

"Excuse me Shihouin-san, I asked for you not to think about other things while we are having a discussion," the suddenly flare of reiatsu very nearly sent Yoruichi to her knees, but she was too stubborn to fall.

"Hai, gomen-ne…?" she paused, his name?

"My name is Saiten, I am the quatre espada, I have been sent by Aizen-sama to dispose of you as you are an enemy, we will fight, and I will defeat you," again Yoruichi looked dumbly at Saiten, he was so… blunt.

"How are you so sure that you will-" Another fireball, honestly where were these fireballs coming from? Yoruichi couldn't find the time to find out, they seemed to just come out of thin air right in front of her really. She frowned, was this some sort of special attack? She had never heard of a fire-typed hollow, she only spiritual entity that could produce a fireball aside from shinigami were… "You're a demon," she whispered in shock. His face didn't even flicker in surprise, she began to wonder if his face was permanently frozen like that.

"My face is not permanently frozen and yes, I am indeed part demon, that is why I have no mask upon my face," he stopped talking and every muscle in Yoruichi's body tensed as she prepared herself to spring to yet another attack. She was surprised when he continued on talking. "Aizen-sama took me out of Hell's gate with an object,"The Ijinyari.. Yoruichi thought glumly, "Please do not interrupt me, now as I was saying," a pause, "I was pulled out of Hell and I must say I was quite surprised at seeing a shinigami standing in front of me in the fortress of Hueco Mundo, he quickly explained his plans to me and I agreed quite readily, I was intrigued you see," another pause, then a sigh. Yoruchi waited. "The next thing I know, I am having this extremely painful experience upon my body, and when I open my eyes, I realize I am in a new body… Aizen-sama informed me that I had merged with the old quatre espada, Ulquiorra, he says I get my solemn side from him," Yoruichi struggled to keep the grin from her face, it was true. Ulquiorra and this new guy, Saiten were so alike in the ways they spoke.

"A demon huh…" she could feel the fear bubble in her stomach.

"Quite correct," a small pause. Yoruichi swore, another fireball had been launched at her. Quickly she darted away, what the hell could she do? In all honesty, she was pretty much screwed over. She tried lunging at Saiten but a shield was around him, a very painful shield, probably demon-magic as far as she could tell.

"Shit…" she whispered, if she just kept dodging, she would be exhausted in a few hours, she had to find some way to break the shield… how? For now, it seemed that Saiten had won.

"You guys feel that?" Ichigo turned towards Hitsugaya with a questioning look on his face.

"Feel what?"

"I swore I could feel something hot like fire just pass my face," the small taicho replied.

"What? You have to be kidding me, maybe you're just sweating to much!" Ichigo retorted, he wasn't in the best of moods.

"No, Ichigo, I've been feeling something strange for quite a while now as well… maybe this is a clue as to where we are and what happened to Yoruichi," Isshin muttered. The man himself had done nothing to aid his son and Hitsugaya in trying to destroy the wall.

Ichigo, not liking the fact that he was being teamed up on shut up and continued angrily striking the wall.

"I'm beginning to think that we aren't in a illusion, but more of alternate dimension," Isshin spoke slowly, thoughtfully, he was still piecing his thoughts together. "Yoruichi must've been pulled out of the dimension, probably by whoever is controlling this place we're in… I think the wall between this dimension and the one we're supposed to be in is breaking though as some of us are beginning to feel things from the original dimension," Hitsugaya nodded understanding perfectly, it took a couple more seconds for Ichigo to nod his head but he understood the basics.

"So, you're saying, we're in a separate dimension and our hold in this dimension is weakening or something so we're going to be busting out of here some time soon?" Isshin nodded, "You can tell, the walls are beginning to crack," it was true. The walls were beginning to crack, ever so slightly. Ichigo now could feel the heat passing his face and he grew extremely frustrated.

"Damn it! Let's bust this friggen thing down!" he roared, with renewed energy he swiftly began attacking the wall.

"Ah… Kira-kun, how are you liking your new… quarters?" Aizen asked with a smirk. His face had appeared out of thin air in front of the prisoners. The boy's eyes were red, probably from crying. "Tsk. Tsk. A man does not cry… then again, I can hardly call someone like you a man now can I? Someone who so blindly follows after his captain…" Aizen laughed cruelly, "Enjoy your new home for the next few centuries," A cold cruel laugh filled the dungeon and Kira yelled in frustration.

"You know, you should take some counsaling," Urahara muttered, this only added on to Kira's depression. "Here," the old scientist said, he couldn't take anymore whimpering and yelling from this sad excuse for a guy.

"W-What?" Kira stuttered, in front of his was a key.

"It's the key's to your chain… Gin was ever so nice to give them to me,"

"W-When?" The blond boy's eyes started to water as he remembered how he had so viciously attacked his captain.

"Oh… I dunno, a bit before you arrived, oh and how is my medicine doing?" Urahara asked, Kira looked at his arm and was surprised that it was nearly healed.

"It's almost-"

"I know, I was just asking to build up conversation," suddenly talking to this boy was very tiring. "Hurry up and unlock yourself Izuru, we must leave and save our dear friends from their imminent death!" Urahara exclaimed over-dramatically.

"Won't Aizen hear you?" Kira whimpered picking up the key tenderly as if it were poison.

"Um… hear me? I don't think so Kira-kun, that man has always been quite confident and even if he does realize that I have broken out? Oh well, I can always run if I have the chance, I am a coward after all," Kira didn't miss the cold smile that had appeared on Urahara's face and suddenly felt afraid, very, very afraid. Just who was this guy really? He had heard rumours but he never really believed that Urahara Kisuke, ex-captain of the 12th division was such a cruel man, now he wasn't so sure.

"Let's go Urahara-san…" Kira whispered. Urahara nodded and lead the way out of the prison.

Round two of Yoruichi vs Saiten will be next chapter. Gin will also be fighting a new opponent next chapter… or will it be Gin who is fighting?

There is probably gonna be some YoruichixUrahara in the next few chapters, I don't feel like making Hitsugaya and Ichigo fight cause they're to popular so Isshin is also going to fight but the other two won't.

So… how you like this chapter, oh and I know the fight between Gin and Kira was short but I never intended it to be long. PThe whole 'Round 1 etc. etc. thing… I dunno, a burst of creativity from me.

R&R (I'm always amazed by the number of 'so-n-so has added your story to their alert list/favourites list emails I get but never any 'so-n-so has reviewed)
