Bleach 8: Kariya's Decision

Baura flew out of the ground, towards Toshiro.

Toshiro used Flash Step to get above Baura.

Toshiro stabbed Baura in the back, Baura retaliated by teleporting in the sky.

Toshiro jumped off in time but lost his balance.

Toshiro was falling down. Baura came up right under Toshiro and was about to eat him.

"Koten Zanshun" (Sacred Solitary Cutting Shield)

A large orange beam shot out from between Orihime's hands.

Tsubaki pierced Baura in the stomach making Baura teleport insted of eating Toshiro.

Tsubaki returned to Orihime.

Toshiro landed next to Orihime and Chad.

"Thanks..." Toshiro said to Orihime.

"Just trying to help..." She said nervously and giggled.

Baura flew out from the sky.

Chad started charging his right hand with blue Reishi.

"Haaaaa!" Chad shouted and released a huge blue blast from his hand.

Baura opened his mouth and ate the blast.

Toshiro and Rangiku flew towards Baura.

Toshiro tried to slice Baura's side but he pushed Toshiro away with his tail.

Rangiku managed to get close but before she could strike him Baura opened his mouth and released a large blast of Red Reishi.

Rangiku used Flash Step to get away.

"Phew that was close..." She said.

"Sit upon the frozen heavens, Hyorinmaru!" Toshiro shouted and the giant water dragon surrounded Baura and froze his entire body. Baura crashed into the ground.

Baura was about to teleport.

"You won't be so lucky this time!" Toshiro shouted and flew down towards Baura.

"Hyaaaaaa!" Toshiro shouted and sliced the ice along with Baura in half.

Baura and Sawatari started glowing with green Reishi and then dissapeared.

Toshiro sheated his sword.

"Nice job Captain." Rangiku said and gave him a thumbs up.

"Thanks..."

"I don't sense anymore Bounts." Kurodo said. He was strapped around Orihime.

"Great now I can go take a nice hot bath." Rangiku said.

"Bye Chad." Orihime waved and they started walking away.

"Goodbye" Nova popped up on Chad's shoulder.

"Let's go." Chad said and Nova nodded.

Kariya

They were in a huge abandoned mansion.

"Sawatari and Ugaki are dead." Mabashi said.

"Who cares they're weak...It was a waste of time bringing those two back anyway." Yoshi said.

"Now what do we do?" Mabashi asked.

"I'll bring them back." Yume said.

"No, you won't. Sawatari and Ugaki were by far the weakest Bounts, if they were brought back they would just get killed again. I'll be taking over things from now." Kariya said.

"But..." Yume was about to say something.

"What's wrong Yume? Do you have something to say?" Kariya gave her a threatening glare.

"No...Master Kariya..." She said and looked down.

"Good. We will not attack...for now. We need to absorb more Reishi first and until then...Ho, Ban, I have a task for you two." Kariya said and the Twins smirked.

Ichigo & Rukia

"Hey Rukia..."

"Yes Ichigo?"

"Do you have any idead where the Bounts are hiding?"

"Unfortunately no..."

Song: DoDo Dance

"I'm going to bed now." He said and fell on his bed.

"At least you have a bed..." Rukia said opening the closet door.

"You can sleep with me if you want to."

"What!" She shouted.

"No! I didn't mean it like that!"

"Hyaaaaa!" Kon shouted and kicked Ichigo in the face.

"Not now Kon!" Ichigo opened the window and threw him on top of the neighbours roof.

"What I meant to say was that we could both sleep on my bed." Ichigo said.

"Your bed's kinda small."

"Well sorry but I'm not as rich as Byakuya..."

"Hey!"

"So are you going to sleep on the bed or not?" Ichigo asked.

"...well it would be a nice change to that matress." She said.

"Fine then."

Ichigo slept on the left and Rukia on the right.

Orihime, Rangiku & Toshiro

"Goodnight Captain Hitsugaya, Rangiku."

"Nighty night Orihime." Rangiku said.

"Good night..." Toshiro said blank.

"Hey my Soul Pager's beeping." Rangiku said and took it out.

"It's an Arrancar, let's go Matsumoto." Toshiro said.

"I'll come too." Orihime said.

"No that's alright. This Arrancar is weak it has low Spiritual Pressure." Toshiro said.

"Oh...ok then."

Toshiro and Rangiku used their Mod Soul Pills and jumped out the window.

"If the Arrancar is so weak why are they both going?" Orihime asked herself. Her Shun Shun Rikka started glowing and materialized.

Song: Swan Song

"Don't you get it Orihime!" Tsubaki said frustrated and hit her on the head.

"They don't want you to go because they don't want you to get hurt." Lily said.

"But...I can help!" Orihime said out loud.

"Orihime...you don't have the will to use Tsubaki to his full potential. You're too soft and kind to ever think of hurting someone." Shuno said.

"I know that I don't like fighting and I don't like to see people get hurt...but I have to help my friends..." She said.

"Orihime...you are helping by simply reversing everyones injuries. Your Souten Kisshun (Twin Sacred Return Shield) has gotten so good that you can heal someone's injuries completely in a matter of minutes. And your Santen Kesshun is getting stronger every day." Ayame said.

"That's all I'll ever be able to do..." She said quietly.

"Orihime, you're not healing wounds. You're simply reversing time rejecting everything in an area so its as if the injury didn't happen in the first place. Pretty soon you'll be able to reject entire things from existence."

"I know that but...I'm sorry ...I just don't have that kind of power."

"Yes Orihime. You do, we are the power of your heart when your feelings and will power get stronger...so do we." Lily said.

"I try to be strong...like Rukia, Rangiku, Tatsuki and even Hinamori but I'm just not as strong as they are." Orihime said.

Tsubaki smacked her head and started talking.

"Haven't you been listening to what we just said! With us you have the power to reverse time, reject phenomena with just your will power alone!" Tsubaki shouted.

"I have to get stronger..."

"That's the spirit!" Hinagiku and Baigon shouted in unison.

"I have to train..." Origime said.

"I'll call Rukia in the morning."

"No Orihime you have to train with just us alone." Tsubaki said.

"Why?"

"Like I told you before, we are the power of your heart. You are not going to be with your friends all the time. You're gonna have to fight some battles alone. You have to learn how to draw out your power. Not only when someone needs help but when you need it too." Lily said.

"I...understand." She said slowly

Toshiro & Rangiku

"Who were you talking to on your Soul Pager?" Toshiro asked.

"Rukia and Yumichika, they wanted to know if we're gonna need help."

"What did you say?" He asked.

"We can handle it ourselves."

"Good now let's go!" He said and they sped up.

"This is Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends school." Toshiro said.

"Yes...the arrancar should be here somewhere." Rangiku said checking her Soul Pager.

"Up there!" Toshiro looked at the sky to see Cirruci Sanderwicci.

"Cirucci whipped out her huge weapon that looked like a golden Yo-Yo.

"I'm here to kill you under the orders of Miss Yume." Cirruci said and swung her weapon towards them.

It crashed into the ground.

"Growl, Haineko!" (Ash Cat) Rangiku released her Zanpakuto.

She send a huge ash wind towards Cirruci. She extended her left arm, then her right arm in the same direction.

Cirruci got surrounded by an ash tornado.

Rangiku swung her Zanpakuto downwards cutting Cirruci's face. Rangiku then swung it horizontally cutting her stomach.

"Golondrina!" Cirucci shouted and released her Zanpakuto.

The energy caused the ash tornado to explode.

Cirucci had wings made of huge curved steel feathers.

Cirucci spun around releasing the feathers on her right wing.

Rangiku and Toshiro used Flash Step to dodge the huge feathers.

"Sit upon the frozen heavens, Hyorinmaru!" (Ice Ring) Toshiro released the Dragon. Cirruci deflected it with her other wing.

"You're gonna have to do better than Shikai to beat me." Cirucci said and the feathers she threw came back to her and reformed her wing.

"Don't flatter yourself you're not that tough." Rangiku said getting into a fighting stance.

Cirucci started launching feathers at them.

Toshiro got close to her. He swung his Zanpakuto in a slanted direction but she backed away. Cirucci used Sonido to get behind him.

She performed a kick. But just as it was about to reach Toshiro's face he blocked it and swung his Zanpakuto Horizontally then Vertically. She dodged all his attacks.

Toshiro swung his Zanpakuto downwards and she blocked with her wing.

She released the feathers of her blocking wing and 2 of them cut Toshiro. One in the face and the other his leg.

"So much for a Captain. You don't deserve that Hiyori." Cirucci said.

Toshiro Flash Stepped forwards and stabbed her in the stomach.

"You...sneaky...little brat..." Cirucci said and spat out blood.

He withdrew his Zanpakuto and was about to slash her again.

"Erupt, Volcanica!" They heard a release command and fire filled the sky.

"Edrad..." Cirucci said slowly."

Toshiro got blasted by a huge flame.

Toshiro crashed into the ground.

"Captain!" Rangiku shouted.

"You're next blondie." Edrad said and released a fire blast.

"Growl, Haineko!" Rangiku formed a wall of ash in front of her. It blocked the blast but Edrad used Sonido to get behind her and kicked her to the ground.

Orihime

"Orihime, you're friends are in trouble." Hinagiku said.

"You have to go and help them." Baigon added.

The Shun Shun Rikka returned back to their Hair Pin forms and Orihime dashed out of her house.

Rangiku & Toshiro

Edrad was blasting Hitsugaya not giving him a chance to attack.

"I'm a former Espada! You won't be able to beat me." Edrad said.

He punched the ground making flames shoot up. Cirucci who was in a bad condition used one of her feathers to pin Toshiro to a wall.

Edrad kept on blasting Toshiro.

"Ban..." Toshiro was going to release his Bankai but he got hit with a knife.

"Compliments of Master Yume. That knife will absorb all your Spiritual Pressure and explode." Cirucci said.

The knife started glowing and exploded knocking Toshiro out.

"Captain!" Rangiku said slowly.

"You're still alive!" Edrad said and ran towards her.
