Momo gazed at us, a vacant look in her eyes. Something's bothering her. Maybe it's because Aizen's here. She was always really attached to him for some reason. She really looked up to him.

I've never looked up to anybody except for my mother; she was willing to sacrifice herself for me. I want to be like that. I want to be able to protect everyone that I love, even if it means putting my own life on the line.

I don't see what Momo saw in Aizen. He didn't sacrifice himself for anybody, he betrayed Soul Society, and he stole Superman's hairstyle. What an amazing man; a perfectly fantastic person to idolise. Note the very, very heavy sarcasm.

"Chie-chan?... But... I thought she had disappeared..." Momo murmured.

Oh, or it could be the fact that she was smart enough to recognise me, despite how different I am now. Actually, it's only my reiatsu, but still.

"Who wants to take this one?" Szayel asked.

I looked at Kitsune expectantly.

"...Really?" she narrowed her eyes at us.

"I'll heal you first..." I left the barely half-healed Grimmjow to help Kitsune.

"...You sure?"

"He'll survive..." Szayel said as he injected Grimmjow with a strange clear liquid. Seconds later, Grimmjow made a couple of random spastic movements, Szayel seemed intrigued whilst we were confused.

"What the fuck did you give him?" Kitsune questioned.

"A scientist never reveals his secrets," Szayel smirked.

I shrugged lightly and placed my hand inside the hole replacing her bellybutton. Her injuries cleared up swiftly. They were tiny compared to the gashes on Grimmjow's body.

"She's... healing them..." Momo muttered.

"No shit, Sherlock. When'd you realize?" Kitsune said.

Momo glared as she drew her sword. I removed my hand from Kitsune's hollow hole, seeing as she was completely healed. She hissed at Momo, prepared to fight.

Momo charged at Kitsune and striked down on her with her sword. Kitsune sonido'd out of the way, dodging the attack skillfully.

She chucked her sword at Szayel as she said, "Hold this for me."

Szayel caught it with ease and grinned as he inspected it closely.

My hand slid back into Grimmjow's hollow hole, healing him whilst Kitsune fought. Momo smirked as she sent a kido her way, successfully hitting her whilst she was distracted with Szayel.

She hissed and sonido'd behind Momo, spin-kicking her head from behind, sending her flying. Her hand-to-hand fighting skills are truly amazing.

Momo retrieved herself from the ground swiftly and began casting another kido, "Hado thirty-one, Shakkaho!"

A flaming ball flew towards Kitsune, who sonido'd above Momo and landed another kick on her head, but this time she was ready for it and brought up her sword.

"Bakudo no.1, Sai!" she said.

The bonds held Kitsune for a second before they exploded with a sudden burst of reiatsu.

"Bitch. You're in for it," Kitsune said angrily.

She sonido'd down and landed a punch infused with reiatsu in her gut, sending her flying into a building.

Shit. How much training did Grimmjow put her through?

She huffed as she turned around and sauntered back to us, almost as if she was expecting a little more.

Momo actually exceeded my expectations. Normally she's this weak little bitch who always needs help.

My head suddenly dropped in agony, throbbing madly. Pain ran through my veins repeatedly, refusing to stop until my body gave out.

"It hurts..." I mumbled. It was rare that I'd ever admit to something hurting. I always felt like I had to prove that I am strong, that I can withstand anything.
Szayel ignored me, continuing to examine Kitsune's Zanpakuto. She held out her hand demandingly. He gave off a creepy Gin-grin and she backed away, seating herself next to me.

"How's it going?" she asked, seemingly concerned.

I glanced weakly at Grimmjow. Most of his injuries were healed now, but he still refused to show any signs of life. "It's nearly... nearly done... I think... but... Open your eyes, goddamnit, Grimmjow! This hurts!" I cried, worsening the pain.

I heard the faint noise of a Zanpakuto being dragged along a rough surface, the sound making my head throb harder.

I withdrew my hand quickly as Grimmjow abruptly opened an eye, shocking me; shocking all of us. "Oi, bitch, behind you."

Momo landed a successful hit on her with another kido from behind. She coughed up blood and quickly sonido'd away. She hissed again as she reappeared behind Momo. Momo smirked, ignoring her injuries and flashstepping around herself.

"...She can sonido..." Kitsune mumbled, looking at me for an explanation.

"Shinigami have a technique similar to our sonido which they call 'flashstep'," Szayel explained briefly.

"Copycats..." Kitsune muttered.

Momo glared at her, "Arrancars are aberrations, they don't deserve to exi-" She was interrupted as she fell to the floor and began twitched spasmodically. "Wha-a-at did you d-o?"

Kitsune knelt down by Momo, grinning. "Neat trick I learnt from Grimm-sama; I can infuse my punches with reiatsu and send it to a certain area and... well... either both of your kidneys are shutting down right now or your liver is bursting." Momo began convulsing violently."Sadly, it only works on Shinigami."

"Fascinating..." Szayel said. "How would you like to have some tea in my lab with me later?"

"Che. Boring." She infused a kick with reiatsu and kicked her, sending her flying into a ruined building, possibly killing her, before sonidoing, exhausted, next to me. My vision began blurring and I became dizzy as I attempted to stand up.

Kitsune grabbed hold of my arm. "You okay?" she smiled, her voice turning into nothing more than a whisper. "Arigato gozaimasu... for healing Grimmjow-sama..." She helped me up and let me lean on her.

I barely managed the words, "I... I did it..." before I passed out.

(YAAAY NEW CHAPPY! This chappy isn't very great, but... Aw, who am I kidding? Momo's dead! YAAAY! Now review ;P)
