Omai and Rinnosuke showed up at Orihime's apartment and they demanded for Misha. However, the guys stood in their way. That was a good thing since it seemed like Misha didn't really want to go with them. Misha crawled back against the wall with Uryu standing in front of her.

"Stand aside. Our business is with Misha. Walkaway while you still can." Rinnosuke said.

"Can't do that." Uryu said. "As a gentlemen, I must defend a dear maiden and it doesn't seem like she wants to go with you."

'That's not our problem." Omai said.

"Roar, Zabimaru!" Renji unleashed his shikai and it struck against Omai and shot him out of the building. Rinnosuke followed suit as they decided to take the fight outside with Renji going after them.

"Chad, hide your body incase people show up to investigate." Uryu said as he followed after Renji. Down on the streets, Renji swung his zanpakuto and it stretched out to them, but Rinnosuke stepped in.

"Shinten Kesshun!" Rinnosuke as he formed the squared shield and blocked the attack. Uryu jumped down and landed next to Renji.

"Having trouble, Renji?" Uryu said.

"Shut up. Getting past their shields will be a problem." Renji said.

"Not quite." Uryu said. "I remembered their abilities from when we last encountered them. Rinnosuke uses four of his flowers for defense, one for attack, and I believe the last one is from healing. Omai only has one for healing and the other are for offense. We need to separate them since Omai is the sword and Rinnosuke is the shield."

"Do you really think that will make any difference?" Rinnosuke said.

"Let's find out!" Chad called out as he jumped down from above in his soul reaper form and came down with his mace. Rinnosuke and Omai dodged his attack as he slammed into the ground. Omai grabbed the mace and pulled him in and gave Chad a strong kick against a building.

"Renji, help out Chad. I'll take care of Rinnosuke." Uryu said.

"Got it." Renji said as he went to help out Chad. Rinnosuke let him by as he stood to face Uryu.

"Do you honestly think you can beat us?" Rinnosuke said. "Why would you and these soul reapers fight us when you don't have a chance of winning?"

"You don't know that unless we try." Uryu said as he fired off his bow and started the fight.

….

Orihime

Orihime escorted Yuzu back home since Zenou was taken away and there wasn't anything they could do to go after him. When they arrived back home, they saw Ichigo and Isshin trying to board up the hole Zenou left behind. Ichigo looked behind him and saw they came back.

"Yuzu! Orihime! Are you two alright?" Ichigo asked.

"We're fine, but Zenou managed to slip away." Orihime said.

"I just can't believe he is allowing all those horrible things to happen." Yuzu said.

"Horrible things?"Ichigo questioned as to what she was talking about.

"Ichigo!" Rukia called out as she came running outside. "They're back again. There's something going on near Orihime's place."

"What?! Again?" Ichigo said.

"My place? They might be after Misha. Uryu, Chad, and Renji might be in trouble." Orihime said. She took out her soul reaper pass and entered soul reaper form. Ichigo let go of the plank and caused it to fall on Isshin.

"Rukia, you stay here and watch over everything." Ichigo said as he took out his pass and entered his soul reaper form. "Orihime and I will go and check out what's going on." Both of them took off and hurried if their friends were in danger.

The Fight

"Roar!" Renji shout out his weapon with it stretching out and Omai kept moving back from each attack. Chad jumped up and swung his mace down, but Omai grabbed a hold of it with both sides trying to push the other back. "I've got you now!" Renji appeared behind Omai, but he was ready for him.

"Goten Zanshun." Omai said as the flowers flew off his ears. Renji saw the attack coming and used Flash Step to avoid each of them. Omai slammed his head against Chad's and pushed him back. "Do all soul reapers only know how to run away? You're just like that small pushover who pretended to be a captain."

"Are you saying you defeated a captain?" Renji said.

"Which one did you fight?" Chad said.

"Some little kid with white hair." Omai said.

"Are you talking about Captain Hitsuguya? You actually defeated him?" Renji said.

"I would have if our battle wasn't interrupted, but I'll finish you two off." Omai said as he commanded all five fragments of his power to attack them. Uryu was still fighting against Rinnosuke. Uryu fired off arrow after arrow, but Rinnosuke ran up a set of stairs and was making his way to Orihime's apartment.

"Just give it up." Rinnosuke said. "No matter what you do, we'll pull out ahead no matter what."

"Don't be so sure." Uryu said.

"I am." Rinnosuke said. "Koten Zanshun." He shot out one of his flowers and it was heading towards Uryu, but he used Hirenkyaku to avoid it. Rinnosuke kept running up to reach Misha. Uryu appeared in front of him.

"Not another step." Uryu said.

"You might want to watch yours." Rinnosuke said. Uryu didn't get it until he saw Rinnosuke's attacking flower sliced right through the floor and Uryu fell through the floor and he saw that it weakened the other floors as he kept descending. "I have other matters to attend to." He jumped over the gaps and kept going.

"I've got you!" Renji said as he swung his sword and slashed against Omai and Chad struck him too. Misha stayed up on the floor and watched the whole battle continue. She looked around and saw a few people were being drawn in to all the noise.

"Are you worried?" Misha looked down to the side and saw Rinnosuke was able to reach her. "We are drawing a crowd and someone could get hurt. You shouldn't even care. You really are a disgrace to our kind."

"St-Stay back!" Misha said as she formed her circular shield to keep him away.

"Do you honestly think that will be enough to keep me away?" Rinnosuke said as he unleashed his attack and smashed through very easily. "In your state of mind, your shield can't hold up to me."

"W…What do you w…want? Why did you come…for me?" Misha asked.

"You're actually more useful than we were letting on." Rinnosuke said. "You hold the Shun Shun Rikka like the rest of us. Lord Riesin needs that for his goal."

"His goal? He's gotten closer to it?" Misha said.

"That's right. We just need one more piece and that piece is you." Rinnosuke said. He was keeping her distracted so she couldn't notice the rip that was opening behind her. Meanwhile, Ichigo and Orihime arrived as they saw Uryu pull himself out of the debris and saw Renji and Chad getting pounded by Omai.

"Guys!" Ichigo said as he and Orihime ran to Uryu.

"Damn it. I can't believe I let him get the drop on me." Uryu said. "Ichigo, Orihime, they're after Misha." His statement was confirmed when they heard Misha screaming.

"Misha!" Orihime said as she jumped up the floors. When she made it, she saw Riesin had a hold of Misha in her rift with them and Rinnosuke about to leave.

"Orihime! I'm sorry, but you are too late. Misha is coming back with us." Riesin said.

"No. She doesn't want to go back to you. I won't let you take her." Orihime said. She went to attack as she pulled out her zanpakuto, but Rinnosuke formed his shield and stopped her attack.

"Farewell. The next time you see us is when we begin to change the entire world." Riesin said.

"Orihime!" Misha called out before the rift closed up around the three. Omai was going to keep fighting against Chad and Renji, but Riesin opened another rift and pulled him in.

"Not again." Omai complained before it closed. He wasn't pleased that his fight was left unfinished again.

"Got away again." Renji said.

"What did they want with Misha? They didn't think that highly of her before." Chad said.

"This isn't looking good." Ichigo said as Orihime came down. She seemed so upset about Misha was gone. Ichigo walked over to her and held her in his arms.

"She's gone. She doesn't even want anything to do with this." Orihime said.

"We'll save her, Orihime." Ichigo said and he meant it.

…

The Mansion

"Get in." Riesin said as he shoved Misha in a room and locked the door. Misha banged on the door. "You'll be staying there until your services are needed.

"Let me out. Please let me out. I don't want to be here." Misha pleaded as she kept banging the door. None of them were really listening.

"Our time draws near." Riesin said as he faced the other four. "Once the Jinsei Hana blooms, our moment will be at hand. Zenou shall have a taste of the flower's nectar and there will be no one that can stop us."

"I can't wait." Masuru said.

"They won't know what hit them." Omai said. However, Zenou actually thought back to Yuzu and the kindness that she showed him.

"Father, if I may ask, what about the people?" Zenou said.

"They will either bow to us or be erased." Riesin said. "We are gods and they are peasants. The world shall be formed by how we decide. Are you ready to be cured of your illness and take our place, Zenou?" Zenou might have been shown kindness, but his mind has not changed.

"Yes." Zenou said. The six have gathered and the end is drawing close. If that power is formed, how will they be stopped?
