Bleach 1 part 2

There was rush of wind that blew past Usagi. She shield herself form the blast of wind closing her eyes and blocking her face. She could hear the Hollow roaring in pain and the sound of a large object hitting the ground. When she opened her eyes at first all she saw was blood; then looking a little to her right she could see a figure hold a sword.

"Kuristian, you're-."

"USAGI!" Kuristian interjected, "Take the girl and run!, I'll cover you!"
"But!"
"Our main priority is to see that girl to safety, NOW GO!"

Usagi, bit her bottom lip in frustration, she didn't want to leave her friend. She watched him as he stood there hold his sword, his stance said that he was in a lot of pain she looked at his right arm, it was hanging and she could see the blood flowing from it. ….its broken……. Usagi looked at Kuristian again, then went to step forward, but stopped; past her emotions she knew he was right, the girl was there top priority right now. Damnit……….

"After I get her to safety I'm coming back for you!" she said running toward the girl .

Kuristian smiled to himself. Damn she has a lot of pride……….must of taken all her will power not to fight back…….Kuristian looked up at the hollow and gave a bloody smile. …Now that she's gone….I can finally deal with you-.

The hollow roared and used its remaining hand and knocked Kuristian into a nearby wall. He could feel his body flying like a piece of lent through the air, when Kuristian hit the wall he could feel the pain shoot up his arm and torso.

"Arrrrgghh!"

The hollow smiled and slowly made its way over to where it had flung Kuristian into the wall. Kuristian could feel the blood pouring from multiply wounds that the beast had made and he knew that he didn't have long. He winched in pain as he struggled to free himself from the wall but to no avail. The way he had hit the wall had caused it to cave in around him. …..Shit….at this rate….i won't make it. He looked up at the hollow who was less than 70 yards away. It doesn't matter now………tsk…….looks like this is it… Kuristian looked down at his Zanpakutō….I looks like this is it huh……..maybe I should have just called you out this time………ah well it doesn't matter now……. Kuristian watched as the hollow crouched readied itself to jump. He looked at and smiled.

" hmm…..even after all this I still want to kick your ass……" He spat "Come on then!, bring it!"

The beast bellowed just as it jumped toward the young Shinigami. Looks like this is it….sorry Usagi, doesn't look like you're gonna back me up after all…….

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion to Kuristian he could feel his eyes, slowly closing . The last thing he remembered seeing the hollow, and he thought he heard some words but he couldn't make them out. Then his world went black.

Words he heard….

Tsugi no Mai , Harkren….

When Kuristian awoke he was lying in a medical bed, his chest and right arm wrapped up. He looked over at his shoulder he could see the scar that the hollow made during his battle. It was not a deep wound but it was long, it trailed across the length of his brown chest starting at his shoulder and working its way down to his side.

" Tsk, man oh man," said a voice " You really must of taken a hit."

Kuristian turned his head to see who was speaking. Sitting in a chair not too far away was a Shinigami with green hair.

" Takara....." Kuristian smiled. "You son of a bitch, what are you doing here?"

Takara raised an eye brow at Kuristian question.

"Why do you think I'm here? I came to check up on you." Takara said, "I heard what happen and rushed over to the sixth squad grounds, but by the time I got there most of the damage was done and the few remain beasts were already dead." He looked over at Kuristian. "You were being careless again..."

Kuristian rested his head against his pillow and looked blankly at the ceiling.

"I know......it's just..."

" I know, I know." said Takara. "But that was then; you can't keep blaming yourself for what happened."

"Takara.." said Kuristian turning to look at his friend.

" No!, I'm being serious." Takara said impatiently. "You have the power to be a fifth…no third seat and maybe and I will only say this once, maybe the power to be a Fuku-Taichou."

"I know!" said Kuristian annoyed " I know....."

Takara closed his eyes and sighed.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're okay. If it hadn't been for Kuchiki Taichou I don't know where you had'd be."

Kuristian looked up at Takara confused.

"Kuchiki Taichou? What are you talking about?"

"Ah, that right you were probably knocked out." explained Takara, "Apparently Kuchiki found you and brought you to safety."

Takara smiled then chuckled.

"That and Usagi being here to give the 4th squad orders on how to treat you. You had no choice but to recover."

At the mention of Usagi name, Kuristian eyes widened and he tired to sit up, only to be met with a sharp pain and thrust back down into his bed.

" Oi! The hell is the matter with you!" shouted Takara "You trying to kill yourself! Stay put."

" Ow- I..Did Usagi get the girl to safety? "

"What ar- Oh…I don't know…. Usagi said something about a girl but she was quick about it. "

Takara shook his head and looked over to the other side of the bed. Kuristian moved his head to follow his friend glaze and saw Usagi on her knees resting her head on the side of his bed.

"Fool girl, she's been with you here for the last six hours." said Takara.

"Six hours? ….I was out that long?"

"Yeah, you got fucked up pretty good, but like I said had it not be for your Captain and Usagi I don't know if you'd be here."

Kuristian looked over at his sleeping friend. She was snoring quietly with her head rest on his other hand. He shook his head. Baka…….. He smiled, Damn fool…..thanks for coming after me….

" Well I'd better head out. " said Takara " I'll check up on up in the morning, get some rest Nakano Kuristian."

"Yeah, yeah…. I hear ya."

Takara waved goodbye and head out the door. Kuristian waited until his friend was out the room before closing his eyes and letting the cool breeze kiss his face as he quickly fell off into a deep sleep.

Elsewhere

A mysterious figure looks over the Court of pure souls. Another figure quickly joins the first and bows down on one knee. Nothing is said until the Stand figure breaks the cold solemn silence.

"Well?"

" I…I sorry milord, but we weren't able to capture the girl." The kneeing figure swallows hard "It seem she was aided by a Death god."

" Tsk……..I don't want your apologies I want the girl!" shouted The first figure "But no matter, this will work in my advantage, Now go out of my sight till I summon you again."

The second figure nodded and disappeared. The first figured continued to look over the court and smiled.

"This ought to prove most interesting……..no? My old enemy…"
