The Battle

IN TOSHIRO'S POV

"Are you ready, Orihime?" I asked and we stood infront of the prison. It was frightningly huge. We both stared at it. A warm breeze blew through our hair.

"Of course I am ready. What about you?" She said. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Let's do this." I said. She nodded and we walked in. We ducked behind a wall as 3 guards walked around a corner. They were walking toward us. I look at Orihime.

"On the count to 3." I whispered. She nods and I peeked my head around the corner.

"One." I whispered. They started to get closer. "Two." We braced ourselves and they got so close. "Three." We both jumped out and knocked the 3 guards out easily.

"Let's go." I said. We ran to the end of the hallway. A map was bolted to the wall.

"Ok, Prison Cells, Prison Cells, Prison Cells." I said, scanning the map. Orihime looked out for guards.

"2 guards are coming." She whispered.

"Prison Cells! Bingo. We need to take 2 lefts then 2 rights and go down 2 sets of stairs and then one more right." I whispered. Orihime wrote it down on her small notepad.

"Got it." She said. We hid as the two guard went by use, walking the opposite way we are going to go. We peeked out heads around the corner.

"Clear. Let's go." I whispered.

"Hai." She said. We took a left and silently walked down the hall. 2 guards came around the corner and looks straight at us.

"Intru-" One was going to say until Orihime shot 2 knock-out darts at them. They fell to the ground, unconscious and drooling. I wrinked my nose in disgust.

"Gross." I said.

"We don't have time for admiring. Let's go." She said.

"You're right. Sorry." I said. We looked around the corner to see if the coast was clear. 1 guard was walking down the hallway.

"Man this prison is loaded with guards." Orihime said.

"You think? It's the highest ranked prison in the world. No one got in or out." I said.

"Well, we got in." She said. I nodded.

"The hard part is getting out." I say. I gave Orihime the cue and she shot the card with the dart and he fell unconscious.

"Why is getting out the hard part? These guards are so easy to get by." She said as we walked by the unconscious guard.

"When they know we are here, they'll send backup. Think of it. 200 against 2 people. 500 people tried getting out but got killed in the process." I said. I peeked my head around the corner.

"But we have these." She said. I looked at her. She held up her fist, which we covered in her gloves I gave her.

"I know. It will lower the percentage down of the back up. But what if we run out?" I said.

"Then we have save up our spiritual energy for when we reach Ichigo." She said.

"Good idea." I said and looked around the corner.

"Clear." I said. We turned a right and fast-walked down the hall. I peeked my head around the corner. 5 guards were walking down the hallway. I took off my gloves.

"Hold these." I said, handing her my gloves. She took them.

"What are you doing?" She whispered.

"I can use sorcery even without my gloves. The magic will not harm my spiritual energy." I said. I peeked my head around the corner again.

"Mah nig fei. Os no jus." I whispered. As they walked by some lit torches, the torches levitated and set their armor on fire. They all yelled and screamed and ran off, trying to put the fire out. Orihime handed me my gloves and I put them in my pocket.

"Cool move." She said.

"Ariagto." I said and we turned another right, heading down the hall, we saw a set of stair cases leading down. We nodded at eachother and hurriedly walked down it. There was atleast 100 stairs. We're halfway there, Ichigo. We are coming.

We finished going down the set of stairs and looked both ways before going straight and going down a nother pair of stairs. I peeked my head around the corner. 6 guards were walking down the hallway. I held out my hand.

"Fu shin nah, ah mec du heh." I whispered [translation in sorcery terms: fall asleep in a restless dream]. They all fell asleep and fell to the ground. I turned to Orihime, putting my finger to my lips.

"Sshh." I whispered. "We have to sneak by them without waking them up."

"Ok." She said. We turned our last corner and silently make our way through the asleep guards. Orihime tripped and fell ontop of a guard. We both had a look that said- "Uh oh". The guard woke up.

"Intruders!" He yelled. Then the rest of the guards woke up and got into battle positions. Orihime stood.

"Run!" She said. We both turned out back to the 6 unhappy guards and ran down the hall. A guard grabbed me and yanked me back.

"Orihime!" I yelled. Orihime turned.

"Hitsugaya!" She said. The started to drag me back.

"Go! Now!" I yelled. She hesitated.

"NOW!" I yelled.

"I'll get Ichigo and save you!" She said and ran off. I struggled to get free. I got free and stood infront of them. They stared at me. I had to buy sometime. To get these guards away from Orihime.

"You aren't going anywhere." I said, sneering. They guards looked at eachother.

IN ORIHIME'S POV

I continued running down the hall until I saw a sign that said 'PRISON CELLS'. I'm here. I peeked my head around the corner. Both sides of the hallways were lined with cells. I started walking down the hallway. Prionsers came to the bars.

"Ooh, look a pretty lady." "Come on over and give me a kiss."
"Do you have any food, m'lady?"
"Look at her chest. That a lot of milk."

I stormed over to the man who said that and grabbed his shirt. The side of his face emplanted the bars.

"If I were you, I'd shut that god damn forsaken mouth of yours or I will shove my foot down your throat." I said. The man gulped and dared to say something that pissed me off.

"Will your shoe fit?" He said.

"I don't know. You wanna find out?" I yelled, holding my fist in the air.

"Ok, ok, ok! Calm down!" He said.

"I am looking for someone." I said.

"Wh-Who?" He stammered.

"His name is Ichigo Kurosaki." I said and leaned in closer.

"Where is Ichigo?" I said.

IN TOSHIRO'S POV

The guards charged at me, hoping to bring me down. But I swiftly dodged their attacks and knocked two of them out. Now only 4 remained.

"Is that the best you got?" I said.

"Why don't you keep your mouth shut, butterscotch!" One yelled. I used flashstep, appearing infront of the guard, my right hand on his left shoulder. My lips at his ear.

"Why don't you make me, cupcake?" I whispered. The guard got angry and I smirked. I launched backwards and the all charged for me. I dodged their punches and their attempts at stabbing me.

"You..." I pushed a guard away. "Guys..." I punched the other in the face, send him to the ground. "Really..." I kicked the another guard in the chest, sending him also to the ground. "Bored me." I grabbed the sword from the charging guard and put the tip to under his chin. He stopped and held his hands in surrender. "You guys also easily piss me off. And that's not healthy." A sudden pain stabbed me in the stomach. I looked down. A sword was right through my stomach. Blood came down from the corner of my mouth.

"S-Shit." I said. I had to take drastic measures. I stabbed the guard in the throat, killing him. I grabbed the took the sword out of my stomach and stabbed 2 of the other guards, killing them and aimed a sword the last one.

"I-I-I-I'm sorry!" He yelled and ran off. I dropped the swords and fell the ground. I coughed out blood and raised my hand in the direction where Orihime was.

"Te mach e sui." I said [sorcery translation: Hell Butterfly]. A hell butterfly summoned and landed on my hand.

"Find Orihime -cough- tell her I am hurt." I said. The butterfly flew into the direction where Orihime was. I hope it gets there fast. I don't think I can hold out any longer. My arm dropped to the ground and I tightly closed my eyes shut.

IN ORIHIME'S POV

"I said, where is he?" I said, once again to the same man who will not answer me.

"I already told you! I do not know!" He yelled. I leaned in closer.

"I know you are lying. Do not lie to me or I will kill you." I said.

"Orihime?" Someone said. My eyes popped open.

"H-He's right there." The man pointed behind me. I turned around. Ichigo was there, holding the bars.

"Ichigo." I said and went over to him.

"What are you doing here by yourself?" He said.

"I'm not by myself. Toshiro is here. He's back there because some guards took him." I said. Ichigo got tense and noticed how built I was.

"Wow. You trained hard." He said.

"Thanks, but not the point. I'm here to get you out of here." I said.

"And how would you do that?" He asked. I smiled and stood up straight.

"I'm not some weakling who needs protection. And if I were you, I'd back away from the bars." I said. Ichigo crawled away from the bars. I held up my fist.

"You can not break them! They're hard as steel!" The man behind me said.

"Hmph. Watch me." I said. I punched the bars and a wind blew. I bars broke at impact. A hole was in the bars. I held out my hand for Ichigo to take.

"Now that's a punch." The man said. Suddenly, a Hell Butterfly landed on my hand. I stared at it. My eyes widen and it dissapeared.

"Oh no." I said.

"Nani?" Ichigo said.

"It's Toshiro. He's hurt." I said. Ichigo got a little mad.

"C'mon! He can't last long!" I grabbed his hand and we ran to where Toshiro was. I found 5 guards on the ground, dead, and Toshiro also on the ground, bleeding and not moving. I let go of Ichigo's hand and ran to Toshiro. His eyes were closed and he was stabbed through the stomach.

"The guard hit stabbed him from behind. It went through a lung and the small intenstine." I said. I took off my gloves and Ichigo bent down next to me.

"What are you doing to do?" Ichigo asked. I grabbed Toshiro's gloves and put them on. I must try. Even though only Toshiro can use them. I know my healing powers may vary. I put my hand on his stomach.

"I'm going to heal him and bring him back to life." I said. I closed my eyes and concentrated on my spiritual energy. I felt it go down my arms, out of my gloves and into Toshiro.

"Life Magic: fujiku." I said [sorcery terms: fujiku-meaning Pixie, heals anything and brings health back to normal].
I opened my eyes and saw a light green glow form around my hands. The light went into Toshiro. I looked at Toshiro. After a long minute, his eyes opened. I smiled and Ichigo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, good. My message got to you." Toshiro said.

"Yes, it did." I said.

"Did you find him?" Toshiro said.

"Hai. He's right here." I said. Toshiro looked at Ichigo.

"What's up, pal?" Ichigo said.

"Oh, nothing much. You?" Toshiro said.

"Oh, just trying to escape from this asylum with the 2 bestest friends I have." Ichigo said. I sadened a little. He'll always think of me as a friend. He does have a crush on Rukia.

"L-Let's get out of here." I said and stood.

"Oh, right. Can you stand, Hitsugaya?" Ichigo said.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Orihime, my gloves please." Toshiro said as he stood.

"Oh, yeah. Haha. Gomenesai." I took off his gloves and handed them back to him.

"By the way, you saved my life, Orihime. Thank you. I owe you." He said. I blushed slightly and looked away.

"You're welcome." I said.

"C'mon. Let's go." Toshiro said. We ran. Turned a right. Went up 2 sets of stairs. Then took 2 more rights and stopped dead in our tracks. We were surrounded. 500 guards to 3.

"This is it." Ichigo said.

"This part decides whether we get out or not." I said.

"Oh, we will get out. I made a promise. And I refuse to break it!" Toshiro yelled, clapping his hands together. "Death Magic: Mai jin ra!" [Mai jin ra-Dracula, takes opponets life and gives it to any friend you choose]. Dracula was summoned. He raised his hand, taking the souls from 300 guards and putting them into Ichigo, giving him a ton of energy and lots of life. The 300 guards fell to the ground, dead.

"Nice move." Ichigo said.

"Eh, takes some practice." Toshiro said. I yelled and punched the ground, the ground exploded, hitting 150 of the guard and killing them instintly.

"Wow, we might actually win this." Toshiro said. Ichigo stared at Orihime, he was shocked at the progress she made.

"Only 50 more guards. We got this." I said.

"I got this one." Toshiro said and clapped his hands together. "Storm magic: rock min rah!" [rock min rah-Thunder Snake]. A snake came. It was purple and outlined with yelled. It opened its mouth and lightning shot out, hitting 30 guards in the forhead with 199990 bolts of electricity. Killing them instintly. The 30 of them fell to the ground. I charged for the 20 of them, taking them on one by one. Killing them or knocking them out. First 20. Now 15. Not 10. Now 5. Now 4. 3. 2. 1. 0. All of the guards were down and out. Toshiro and I stood there, out of breath.

"We did it." I said. Toshiro clapped his hands together.

"Life Magic: min ju ha." He said [min ju ha-Rebirth: regenerate their energy and life point with a touch of its leaves]. A giant tree was summoned. One leave landed on Toshiro, giving him life and energy. A leaf landed Orihime, giving her energy. Then the tree dissapeared.

"Let's go." I said. They both nodded and we walked out of the prison.

"Their record was finally broken." Toshiro said.

"I owe you guys." Ichigo said. Toshiro looked at him.

"I was a theif and you both understood my actions. You both understand me for me. You both saved me." He said.

"No problem, Ichigo. It's what friends are meant for." I said.

"I know Orihime was already punished for standing up for me. But Toshiro...you may be sentenced to death." Ichigo said. Toshiro looked up at the sky. It started to sprinkle.

"I know. And I will face my terms headstrong." He said.

THE END

Author's note: Sorry for the wait! and oh my god, they finally found Ichigo and broke free from the prison. Toshiro was almost killed. and look how bad ass Orihime was! She was full of determination. And is it true that Toshiro will face death and look it in the eye? Will he accept his terms as traitor to the Soul Society and face death?
