Chibi-Onee-chan – Nojima can be bad ass when he wants to. XD
DreamingInThePast – You know, I always look forward to your reviews. :D Yes, she did. :D Too bad she doesn't belong to me. XD I try to write how I imagine them, but it's so hard sometimes. XD Hijo is amazingly smart, actually, but he doesn't really rely on brains. He relies on if he has enough fun during a fight. X3 If she did have a flashback of that time, she must be amazing. D: I wish I could remember something from when I was a baby. XD
whitefyrefoxxy – Ah hah~! :D My foreshadowing worked. X3
DemonVermin – Yep, a quality everyone seems to look down on. ( -.-) Stuck up jerks. XD Sure, they had it in the bag... until Hijo plays. DX
Dina Sana – Thankies. X3
DeathKnight KiraKira – Oh, thank god! I thought maybe I did horrible with her. XD Glad to know she's fine. :3 And yes, they're crazy about fighting. X3
StarTime101 – I only seem to update when it makes me excited~! :D Imagining fights is awesome. X3 And yeah, I have to read a book, too. XP It sucks.

...I miss reading all the stories... XD A lot of people had written stories with Kenpachi as one of the main character—c'mon, you guys know I love him XD—but I don't know, for the last half a year no one has even updated those stories. DX Heck, even up to a year and a half! It sucks! I miss those stories. XP
And yeah! :D Finished the fight in three chapters! I deserve a pat on the back! =D
Guys... I cried. DX I watched Transformers Prime Beast Hunters episode four... I thought Optimus died! DX But no! :D He's fucking alive, man I was just going, "Oh, my god!" over and over again! XD

"Holy shit!" Zenaku gawked, watching something that looked like a bolt of lightening burst from the ground and into the sky. "Was that Nojima?!"
"Seems he's having fun," Shiko commented, running ahead of the scarred man. "Are you sure you don't want me to grab you and we shunpo there?"
"Do you really think I'll even do that?!" Zenaku snarled, running as fast as he could. "I can get there myself!"
Shiko rolled his eyes and sighed, ignoring the threat to get punched when Zenaku obviously saw the eye-roll. They both widened their eyes, seeing Nojima fly past them over the walls. Stopping, they looked up, seeing Hijo right behind him. Shit, how fast were they moving? The brunette was gone before Zenaku could blink, which made him curse loudly.
"Fuckin' dumbass left me!"
Have to get Nojima away from Hijo, that's all that was going through Shiko's head as he easily caught up with the two. He yelped when kido was shot towards him, jumping away in time to avoid the attack that had been aimed at Hijo. Looking forward he widened his eyes, seeing the white haired intruder swing his sword and hit Nojima's arm.
Jumping back, barely feeling it, the blonde widened his eyes and gave a feral grin. Holding up his hand he narrowed his eyes, something resembling red lightening zapping around his hand before he brought it down on the roof. Hijo, in the air, widened his eyes those shot out from the roof and all went towards him. Holding his sword up he raised his reiatsu and swung it.
Nojima raised his arms to cover his head when wind whipped past him and blew away the kido.
"Interesting..." He murmured, lowering his arms as he smirked.
Looking up he raised his arm, a wall of kido appearing in front of him. Hijo landed, looking up as he grinned. Kido shot off everywhere, hitting every surface in the area while the white haired man evaded every attack. In a second he was behind the shield, standing behind the blonde. Nojima turned and grinned, his hand outstretched in front of the attacker's face.
Hijo flew back from the force of the kido and hit the wall, slumping before regaining his breath and looking up with a smirk.
"The last time I've had this much fun... was a hundred and twenty-eight years ago," Nojima murmured, lowering his arm and chuckling darkly as his eyes started glowing. "I thank you, Hijoshikina, for letting me relive this feeling."
"You're welcome~!" Hijo said, tilting his head and giving a bright grin.
They both shot off towards each other, both giving wide grins as their eyes glowed brightly. Shiko stopped and widened his eyes when an explosion surrounded the two, seeing them jump from building to building. Watching them fight... made his head dizzy and his heart speed up. They were having so much fun... He tilted his head and narrowed his eyes as he smiled.
"Maybe I should have fun, as well..." Shiko chuckled lightly, his eyes glowing.
Zenaku saw them, letting out a scoff when he saw the brunette just standing there. When he was supposed to be helping! Just as he was about to reach their position he widened his eyes. Reiatsu hit his shoulders, causing him to stop and holding up his arms in front of him.
Rei landed in front of him, breaking the concrete on contact. Looking up, he gave a wide smirk.
"...I thought Ichirou knocked ya out?" Zenaku asked almost conversationally, quirking a brow curiously.
"He punched me an' didn't even check if he knocked me out," Rei said back, in the same tone, letting out a scoff. "He broke a couple ribs, though. His punch still hurts like a bitch."
"Eh, yeah, probably 'cause your skin's hard, right?" Zenaku asked, raising his eyebrows questioningly. "That's why he didn't knock ya out?
"Most likely." Rei shrugged lightly.
People that were watching them on the screens stared in shock, all dumbfounded. They talking casually during a fight?!
They gave wide, feral grins and ran towards each other.
Renzo and Reizo kicked their legs out, hitting Mitsuo square in the chest. He skidded against the ground, looking up with a frown. The twins waved their arms gaily, the man's sword stuck in the ground twenty feet behind them. It had been a struggle, but they had finally gotten the sword away from him. It sure pissed him off, though. He was still yelling about it every time he tried getting close to his sword.
"You little shits are dead when I get my sword!"
"We've been threatened so much times that doesn't even phase us!" Renzo yelled, waving his hand with a grin.
"...Which is really sad, since it's our comrades that threaten us." Reizo spoke up, both brothers glancing at one another before they started snickering.
Mitsuo shot past them, towards his zanpakuto.
"Ah, ah, ah~!" Renzo shook his finger back and forth as he grinned.
The dark haired man gasped lightly when something wrapped around his ankle, yelling when he lurched and hit the ground. Pushing himself up he saw kido connecting his foot and one of the twin's hands, seeing the blonde give a wide grin. He lurched again, time slowing down when he found himself in midair in front of the two. As one, they grabbed one ankle each and slammed him into the ground.
"Boy, he doesn't have anything on us~!" Reizo chirped, grinning down at the dazed man.
"I thought ya were supposed to be strong, Mitsuo?" Renzo pouted, snickering as he smirked.
They flipped back when his hand shot out, both landing on their feet and almost giggling. They both blinked when he ran past them, cursing as they turned to see him close to his sword. Just as he was about to grab it kido shot out and wrapped around him, rendering him immobile. He cursed and wiggled, turning to send the two a glare. He paused and frowned in confusion, seeing the two staring wide-eyed at him. They didn't do that?
"Thank goodness we got here in time~!"
The twins blinked and turned, both grinning when they saw Ichirou and Rina appear in the street.
"Hi hi~!" Reizo waved and smiled brightly.
"So, ya had him under control?" Ichirou asked, nodding towards the man.
"Yep~!" Renzo gave a thumbs up and smirked. "We were dancing around him... literally~!" He started snickering. He crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows. "So... Nojima's having fun, huh?"
Ichirou growled lightly. "I'd rather he not have fun with Hijo."
"Then let's go and help out~!" Reizo squealed, jumping up and down and smiling brightly. He narrowed his eyes as his smile darkened. "I always wanted to fight with the infamous Hijoshikina." He murmured, seeing the other three pause before they all smirked.
Mitsuo frowned and narrowed his eyes, watching the four disappear. Struggling with his bonds he glanced at his sword and smirked. Oh, wow. He wished he could actually witness the fight. He had went there to fight, yes, but he had also went to finally watch Hijo fight all out. He didn't go there to fight seriously, because if he had he would have released his zanpakuto. And ever since Hijo had "joined" them he had held back and did the dirty work for Tadashi. He had killed countless people, but he had not killed anyone that did not attack him.
He hadn't even helped out at the manor when they burned it down.
"But this is Reta's house," Hijo said, tilting his head and frowning in confusion. "Why would I kill Reta's people?"
For some reason it seemed as if Hijoshikina, of all people, actually respected Tadashi's brother! He had honoured all his rules he had set for him. He was told not to go in the house for the first few visits, but when Tetsuya saw that he was behaving he let him inside. Why he respected that big, mindless fool, he didn't know, but their strength was about the same.
Not even Tadashi was as strong as his brother...
Mitsuo jumped when he heard a sound, turning with wide, fearful eyes, his previous demeanour returning now that he was subdued.
What was that?!
"Seika! You live!"
Renta ran across the room and grabbed his sister, sobbing dramatically. The people around them rolled their eyes and smirked before they looked back towards the television. Seika scowled and patted her brother's head, feeling him shaking lightly. Furrowing her brows, she hugged him back. He had been worried. A smile crossed his face when she returned his embrace, patting her back one more time before he stood straight and backed up. Looking over he gave a nod when he saw she wasn't hurt.
"So, what happened while I was running back here?" Renta asked, glancing towards the television.
"Well..." Seika rubbed the back of her head and cleared her throat. "They're all... crazy about fighting." She shrugged lightly and grinned.
Renta frowned in confusion before he jumped when he heard a frightening laugh, looking towards the screen to see—His eyes grew wide when he saw it was the serious one of the group. What the hell?! The man laughed, firing kido after kido after—The white haired bastard?!
His jaw dropped.
He's fighting him?!
"They took out two of the intruders," Seika said, glancing at the screen and smiling when she saw the scarred man fighting his opponent. "That just leaves the big guy and the... crazy guy." She said, frowning at the thought of the crazier of the group.
"S-S-So what?! We have a bunch of crazed fighters out now?!" Renta gawked and shook his head lightly. "I actually thought they were awesome for a minute!"
"They are awesome!" Seika said, giving her brother a glare. "They're normal when they're not fighting, so who cares if they're like this?"
"Seika..." Renta murmured, gazing down at his sister with a frown. "You know how most people feel about people that love fighting. Heck, people didn't really like me when I was with the eleventh division." He paused. "They sure feared me, though." He said, crossing his arms as a proud look crossed his face.
"I don't care," Seika answered, looking back at the screen. "You said it yourself, they're like everyone else."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Renta held up his hands and huffed with a smirk. "They're fine..." He said, since he had been apart the division that was full of people that absolutely loved fighting. Heck, he still loved fighting himself. "But if they try to defile you in any way-"
"I'm serious, Renta, stop talking."
"Get him!" Kayo whispered softly, eyes wide as she shook on spot.
She soon frowned when the white haired man moved out of the way in time to avoid the kido. Riko frowned and bit her thumb, one arm crossed to hold the other up. She had been telling Kaori and Kayo that Nojima was someone that fought in the distance rather than up close, since he was used to kido than Hakuda and Zanjutsu. So the three were rather tense with the fight. Since it was obvious that Nojima was having fun, which scared the hell out of them for a moment, they were very worried. What if he got blindsided?
"Guy's a fuckin' freak." Someone whispered nearby.
Without even looking Riko's fist struck out, hitting the side of his head and knocking him to the floor. People backed up and sent her surprised stares, seeing that she was still watching the screen with a worried look on her face.
She had met him before, that's what he had confirmed. But as a baby? If he didn't kill her when she was a defenceless baby, is he better than he appears? She scoffed and shook her head lightly. Of course not. He killed countless of people just from one trip to the Seireitei.
"He's bleeding and he's still fighting!" Kaori snapped, holding her arms out towards the screen. It was true, the normally serious man was bleeding everywhere. "Stop fighting!" She had yelled as if he could hear her.
"What if he... dies?" Kayo murmured quietly, furrowing her brows worriedly.
"No, this Hijo guy doesn't look as if he'd do that," Kaori said, scratching her head and huffing. "He acts as if really cares about your brother or uncle, or whatever he is to you!" She snapped at Riko, sending her a scowl. "Which is strange, since he's currently kicking his ass."
"He won't die... None of them won't die..." Riko murmured, biting her lip and shaking her head lightly. "They won't..."
Zenaku grunted when he hit the ground, looking up to see Rei bringing his foot down. Raising his arms he stopped it, gritting his teeth when he continued to press down. Shit! Fucking asshole was heavy! Rei gave a wide grin, pressing down harder. Gathering reiatsu in his arms he gave a hard push, making the giant stumble back before he was tackled. Zenaku pulled his arm back and punched his face.
"Dumbass! Yer fuckin' heavy!"
They both widened their eyes, turning to see Hijo land right next to them. Rei started cursing and pushed him away, quickly backing away from the man that sat up. The white haired man reached up and calmly dusted off his hair and kimono, pushing himself to a stand. He looked to the side, seeing Zenaku turn towards him and pull his arm back. In one movement he dodged the punch, appearing right in front of the scarred man.
Zenaku stumbled back, grasping his chin and glaring down at the grinning man. That was pretty hard punch. He grabbed his outstretched arm, making him blink and make a curious sound, before he turned and smashed him into a nearby wall and then into the ground. Raising his foot he brought it down, letting out a surprised yell when Hijo lashed out and grabbed his ankle. It was his turn to meet the wall and ground.
Panting lightly he looked up with a smirk. "Yer pretty good."
Hijo tilted his head and gave a wide grin.
Shiko appeared behind the white haired man, making him blink. He struck, aiming for certain parts of his body to render him immobile. Though his eyes grew when he turned and grabbed his hand, giving a wide smirk before he smashed into the wall. Hijo held him there with a grin, giving a close-eyed grin before the brunette went through the wall.
He gasped quickly, grasping at his chest. Zenaku cursed, watching as Hijo turned to give him a simple blink before a bright smile crossed his face. He disappeared, jumping back to where Nojima was. Acting quickly, he got up and ran towards the brunette, holding his hands above his chest. As soon as he located the problem a green glow hovered over Shiko.
"Fuckin' dumbass!" Zenaku growled, glaring down at the brunette.
"I-I thought I could take him." Shiko gasped, giving a strained smile.
"Aw, it's so cute I think I'm gonna cry."
They turned, seeing Rei grinning down at them. Before Zenaku could do anything he widened his eyes when Rei kicked out his massive leg, hitting his chest and sending him flying through two walls. Giving a wide smirk the giant glanced down at the brunette, reaching down and grabbing him. Holding him up he narrowed his eyes and smirked, tightening his grip.
Shiko trembled and closed his eyes tightly, gritting his teeth.
"Let's see how much ya can take." Rei murmured, giving a dark grin as he squeezed harder, giving a satisfied snicker when he felt something crack.
The brunette threw his head back and choked, blood flying out of his mouth. The giant snickered, pausing when Shiko let a smirk cross his face. He soon frowned when he started chuckling, shaking him lightly. Why the fuck was he laughing? Looking forward, the brunette gave a wide grin as his eyes dilated.
"This is the most fun I've had in a hundred years." Shiko murmured, disappearing from his grasp.
Rei widened his eyes, turning to see Shiko jump towards him. Appearing behind the tall man, he reached up and rubbed his chest with a grimace. Turning around, he raised an eyebrow and smirked, seeing the tall man fall back and hit the ground, actually shaking the ground. Walking over towards him and gave him a smile while he wiped his mouth. Zenaku was bent over, now back in the street, cursing quietly as he rubbed his chest.
"Never fight someone that is faster than you," Shiko said, smirking down at the man. He kicked the side of his head. "That's for also breaking something." He said as he rubbed at his chest once more.
"He broke something?" Zenaku asked, still bent over.
Shiko nodded, wincing for a moment.
They both turned, disappearing as they used shunpo to get on top of a building. They looked around the area, both smirking when they saw Nojima panting heavily with that grin still on his face. Hijo hopped from one foot to the other, a wide, excited grin stretched across his face. He turned his head, staring at them when he saw them bend their knees. Holding up three fingers he tilted his head.
"Three... against one..." He narrowed his eyes and smirked widely. "Let's play."
"Yeah," Zenaku said, giving a feral grin. "Let's."
Hijo jumped off the building he was on, seeing the scarred man punched where he had last stood. The top of the roof cracked, making the white haired intruder raise his eyebrows and make a surprised sound. While in midair, Shiko appeared behind him and kicked his leg out. Throwing his sword aside, which hit the side of a building and stayed there, he grabbed the brunette's leg and thrust his elbow out, catching Shiko in the face. He then spun and threw him towards Nojima.
The blonde held up his hands, his eyes glowing at the same time his hands did, a bubble appearing in the sky.
People that were watching blinked in surprise when Shiko went inside the bubble and remained unharmed.
"Thank you, Nojima." Shiko said, turning to smirk at the man.
The blonde nodded in return, bringing one leg back and leaning forward. Holding his hands together he narrowed his eyes and separated them, holding them both out towards Hijo. The attacker turned, after he landed, blinking when he saw two large streaks of black heading for him. He turned, running from rooftop to rooftop when it followed him. Zenaku held up one hand, white electrical streaks running all over his hand, eyes glowing before he thrust his arm out. Hundreds of streaks head towards the intruder, making him stop when he realized he was trapped.
Hijo gave a wide grin, disappearing from where he stood. Zenaku raised an eyebrow and smirked, seeing Hijo land on another rooftop. Who soon widened his eyes when Shiko appeared behind him. He turned, blocking Shiko's two first attacks before he was under a barrage of kicks and punches. When he struck the brunette grabbed his arm and pushed himself into the air and kicked both legs out, catching his face. Stumbling back, he lurched when the Hakuda master landed and flipped him over his shoulder and smashed him into the ground.
Eyes wide, Shiko gave a wide smirk before he held his hand above Hijo's face.
Light started gathering in his hand, making the intruder narrow his eyes.
The brunette skidded against the rooftop, looking up with a surprised look on his face. Amazing... He didn't even see him move. A smirk crossed his face as he, Zenaku, and Noijima gathering reiatsu and pointing their hands towards the man.
Hijo narrowed his eyes and smirked widely, his eyes snapping towards their hands quickly.
As soon as the kido shot out he disappeared, causing the three to widen their eyes. They all grunted, blood spurting from their backs. Stumbling forward they looked up, seeing Hijo holding his sword with a wide grin. When did he grab it? Grins crossed their faces, excitement growing when they saw the man raise an eyebrow playfully.
"You're an interesting man, Hijoshikina!" Shiko called out, seeing the man blink and tilt his head. He gave a smirk. "Please give us a fun time."
Hijo narrowed his eyes and snickered.
The three widened their eyes in shock when two people kicked his back, sending him flying and into the ground.
Renzo and Reizo landed, both striking poses and giving wide grins. Ichirou and Rina appeared next to them, glancing at the three. The one that looked the worst was Nojima, who was panting heavily with blood going down the side of his head. Rina glanced at Nojima worriedly, seeing the man stare at her and smile. She returned it, glancing over the edge of the roof to see the white haired man pick himself up and dust himself off.
"Whoa-hoh~! Nothing every gets him down, eh?" Renzo gave a wide grin.
Hijo turned, yellows eyes freezing them all in place. His lips curled into a smile. "All seven of them... All seven... all for me..." He murmured, reaching up and touching his lip as he smiled. Holding up his sword he raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Let's play."
"We don't have swords, why do they fight us with them?!" Renzo whined, stomping his foot childishly while he pouted.
They all jumped off the roofs, landing on the ground and looking up to see Hijo walking towards them with a crazed grin on his face.
Attacking all at once they all jumped towards him, all pulling their arms back. He moved back, weaving through them before they could hit, flipping back and moving to the sides. He especially avoided the dangerous punch that belonged to Ichirou, raising his eyebrows when strong wind whipped past him. Jumping in the air he spun and kicked his legs out, kicking the twins away. Landing on the ground he flipped back when they attacked again.
Zenaku and Ichirou bumped into each other, both snarling, which showed that they hadn't relearned how to fight together one hundred percent.
Both Rina and Nojima glanced at one another, both nodding and holding their hands out and started murmuring chants.
Hijo's eyes flicked towards them, making them widen their eyes when he appeared behind them and kicked them. They hit the walls, both wincing and turning to glare at him. Rina narrowed her eyes, seeing him turn his head when the twins tried a chant. Her eyes grew in realization.
"He's sensitive to reiatsu." Rina murmured, furrowing her brows.
"Great, so what?" Zenaku appeared next to her with a scowl. "He's strong, crazy, scary as hell, can see stuff faster than anyone else, and he's sensitive to reiatsu?" He rolled his eyes and scoffed. "Let's just get the old son of a bitch ta take care of him."
At the office, the Soutaicho's expression grew dark.
"How about we get his zanpakuto away from him?" Reizo asked, appearing next to them, as well. "Maybe it'll make him... I don't know, less dangerous?"
"Could work," Rina said, frowning lightly. "Or it could backfire."
Nodding, they all disappeared while Ichirou knocked wall after wall down. Goddammit, he was pissing him off! He was clearly playing with him! Hijo moved away quickly, avoiding the punches as he giggled. The tall man managed to catch his arm, quickly smashing him into the ground. Raising his arm he pulled it back and brought it down once.
Twice.
Three times.
A large crater appeared under him, Hijo's eyes closed tightly as he trembled. But he soon opened his eyes and grinned. Ichirou widened his eyes when blood spurted from his shoulder, quickly glancing at it and looking down to see that the attacker was gone. Whirling around, he saw Hijo down the street and waving at him. He got away quickly, not to mention he attacked without him even knowing. He couldn't help it...
Slowly... a wide grin crossed Ichirou's face, excitement shining in his eyes.
Soon Hijo was jumping from wall to wall, the group of seven quickly running after him. He started snickering, glancing back to see that two of them were gone. He blinked, raising his eyebrows slightly before looking forward. Kido wrapped around him, making him blink before he went sailing through the air. Hitting the ground made him grunt, looking up to see Nojima and Rina. Both were smirking at him, both radiating excitement. The twins flipped in the air and brought their legs down, hitting his chest and stomach. He coughed, back arching and eyes growing.
That hurt...!
A grin crossed his face, quickly standing and spinning around. Rina and Nojima widened their eyes when they were pulled forward, both crashing into walls that were nearby. Using his reiatsu dissipated the kido, and looking up with a grin to quickly avoid the punches of Zenaku and Ichirou. He then kicked his leg upwards, getting Shiko in the chest before he could attack. Letting go of his zanpakuto quickly he grabbed the wrists of Renzo and Reizo when they tried to punch him, the reiatsu in their hands disappearing, and spun around quickly. Releasing his hold he grinned when they hit either a wall or a building.
They were all panting, pushing themselves up and smirking.
"...I want to hear you scream..." Hijo murmured, narrowing his eyes and giving a wide grin as he giggled.
The next moments were too fast.
Shiko appeared behind him, making him widen his eyes when he hit several places. His arm fell limp, dropping his sword. One of the twins grabbed it and threw it towards Ichirou. The tall man caught it, turned, and threw it. Far.
Hijoshikina's eyes grew wide, after he managed to get his arm working again.
"Hah! That evens the fight!" Zenaku gave a wide grin.
Hijo's eyes remained wide, staring in the distance where he had seen his sword. The group was standing together, all frowning in confusion when the man didn't move. His breathing quickened, hands shaking lightly as he stared in the distance. Shiko narrowed his eyes before frowning.
"I don't know about you..." He glanced at the others. "...but I think we just made things worse."
"You know..." Renzo frowned. "I don't even I've ever seen him without his sword..."
They all glanced at the white haired man, seeing him back up and look in every direction with wide eyes. He was breathing heavily, arms trembling and reiatsu at its lowest point. Every person that was watching frowned and stared closely at the man. Why was he reacting like this? It was only his sword. Reaching up, Hijo grasped at his head, heavy pants leaving his body.
"M-My sword... M-My sword..." Hijo muttered incoherently, staring at the ground with wide eyes. "W-Where is it...?"
"...Shit." Ichirou cursed, narrowing his eyes and frowning.
Hijo suddenly stopped moving, head lowered and hair hiding his eyes.
The group tensed, getting ready.
Silence.
Just dead silence...
Suddenly...
Hijo threw his head back and started roaring, his reiatsu sky-rocketing. The group widened their eyes, all letting out gasps of surprise when the reiatsu almost knocked them to their knees. The area of his reiatsu started growing, almost every person in the Seireitei sensing it. All the Taichos in the office tensed, all narrowing their eyes and frowning at the scene. Ichigo cursed lightly, glancing at the city and wondering if he should go.
Nikito stared at the hologram with narrowed eyes.
Back at the area, Hijo bent his knees, having stopped screaming, eyes wide and full of fury. The look caused the group to widen their eyes and freeze.
"Hijoshi-"
He was suddenly in front of Shiko, causing the brunette to widen his eyes and look down. A punch to the chest broke several ribs, causing him to widen his eyes when one punctured his lung. Blood filling his lung caused him to cough, blood spilling out of his mouth as he flew back and went through countless walls.
Hijo's eyes suddenly snapped towards Zenaku, eyes still wide. The scarred man had turned, teeth grit when he saw where Shiko had went. Healing his body was suddenly on the top of his mind, about to run towards his direction.
His eyes grew wide, freezing and blood spilling out of his mouth when he lurched forward slightly.
Trembling slightly his eyes slowly looked downwards, seeing Hijo's arm through his chest. He gave a strangled cry when he suddenly pulled his arm out, falling to his knees. Eyes remaining wide he trembled, struggling to breathe. He fell down, continuing to pant with wide eyes.
The others widened their eyes in horror.
Including Shiko, who had seen it on the screen, laying immobile where he landed.
"ZENAKU!"
Ichirou, eyes now filled with rage, turned and reached towards him. Hijo turned, the faster of the two, and elbowed his chest, hard. Air left Ichirou's lungs, causing him to gasp and stumble back. The twins launched themselves at him, both reaching for him, their eyes wide with rage.
Hijoshikina turned, evading their attacks and grabbed their necks, smashing them into the ground. They choked, eyes wide as they hit the ground.
He looked up, eyes snapping towards Rina and Nojima, who widened their eyes.
In mere seconds, the entire group was down, all trembling and gasping.
Riko stared with wide eyes, parting her lips in shock.
She stumbled, trembling as she stared.
"No...!"
"No!"
Nikito was blocking Ichigo's way, his eyes cold as the substitute shinigami tried to get past him. As soon as it finished Ichigo tried to leave to help, but even then the grey haired man was having none of it. He was glaring at the orange haired man, disregarding everything the man had ever done for the Soul Society. He didn't care that he was a hero, he didn't care how many people he saved, he was not letting him go help.
"I said this is not your fight." Nikito said, sending the man a glare.
"Either let me through or they're gonna die!" Ichigo snapped, teeth grit and eyes hard.
"I said this is not your fight!" Nikito repeated, eyes flicking towards the hologram.
Pain crossed his eyes when he saw Zenaku, gasping for breath. Hijo had went after the fastest person first, who could prevent him from getting his sword. He then went after the healer to prevent any more of them getting treated. After that it was nothing for him to get take the others down...
You're a scary man, Hijoshikina, Nikito thought, eyes narrowed and mouth in a firm line.
"Let me go!"
"No!"
They glared at one another.
The door opened.
Everyone in the room turned their heads, all widening their eyes slightly in shock.
Tetsuya panted heavily, leaning against the door and looking around.
"Reta-sama!" Nikito gasped, turning and rushing towards him. "You're still incredibly ill, you can't be up!"
Ignoring him, the tall man looked at the hologram in slight wonder before his eyes widened what he saw on it. Stumbling past one of his longest followers he walked towards the hologram. Holding his side, his eyes stared on the hologram, parting his lips slightly as horror spread across his face. He took two stumbling steps closer, letting out a horror-filled gasp.
"...Zenaku...!" Tetsuya breathed.
"Reta-sama," Nikito said, gazing at the man worriedly.
"Why did no one notify me?" Tetsuya asked quietly.
"B-Because you were sick, Reta-sama, we didn't know when you would wake!" Nikito said, glancing at the hologram and back to the man.
"Hijoshikina is here..." Tetsuya reached towards the hologram, his hand going right through when it showed all seven people struggling to get back up.
"Reta-sama...!"
He suddenly looked up, eyes wide and panting heavily. He paused, gasping lightly before he raised his hand and glanced at the seal around his wrist. Nikito frowned before he widened his eyes with realization. He grabbed his arm, pleading for him not to do it, which confused everyone in the office. Ignoring him, Tetsuya looked towards the group of Taichos.
"Kurotsuchi Taicho...!" The man frowned and narrowed his eyes.
Hijoshikina narrowed his eyes, seeing the group trying to push themselves up. Ichirou was calling Zenaku, who couldn't answer. Eyes remaining wide, the scarred man panted, clawing at the ground. Blood poured out of his mouth and the wound inflicted upon him, eyes pained.
"Holy shit! That was fucking fast!"
Barely reacting, the white haired man turned, seeing both Koichi and Mitsuo on top of a building, staring at the scene with wide eyes. So, Koichi had woken up and once he found out what happened he went to release Mitsuo. Turning, he stared in the distance, quickly finding his zanpakuto and disappearing.
"Oi!" Koichi yelled, cursing when he disappeared. "Fucking idiot left. It's just his fucking zanpakuto, there was no need for this." He said, holding his hand out towards the fallen warriors.
Mitsuo gave a hesitant nod, pausing before he used shunpo to get to the area. Koichi jumped from the rooftop to the walls, pausing when he saw Rei. Raising an eyebrow he jumped towards him, wondering if he was dead. He jumped back when the man suddenly cursed, pausing before he tried to remember how to do this. Hitting several parts on the man's body did the trick, the giant rising to his feet.
"What happened?" Rei asked, rubbing his neck with a scowl.
"...Hijo beat them all," Koichi said, turning to stare at the struggling fighters. "It was pretty fucking fast. He finished before me and Mitsuo got here."
"Zenaku!" Ichirou yelled, pushing himself up on all fours. He gritted his teeth when the man trembled and didn't respond. "Rina!" He glancing at the woman to see her struggling to stand. "Nojima!"
The blonde panted heavily, pushing himself up on his elbows. The two kido masters... they could heal Zenaku...! Nojima suddenly cried out, Mitsuo standing on his chest with a smile on his face. In a swift movement he swung his sword and cut the blonde across his chest. Nojima widened in eyes and choked in shock. The twins snarled, pushing themselves up and running towards the man. They tackled him, sending him skidding back before he turned and faced them. Ichirou pushed himself onto his feet, eyes narrowed dangerously and his upper lip curled in a snarl. Forget having fun, if they didn't end this now...!
"If we kill 'em an' Reta finds out..." Rei trailed off.
Koichi huffed lightly. "Who cares?"
Rei shrugged and walked towards them, giving a wide grin and curling his fingers into fists. The ones that were up turned and faced them, which was only Ichirou, the twins, and Rina. They narrowed their eyes, getting ready.
Their eyes suddenly flashed red.
They all let out surprised gasps when they felt connections to one another.
Rei walked up behind Ichirou, holding up his fists and giving a wide grin. "So long, ya bastard!" He pulled his fist back.
His arm thrust forward, Ichirou turning around and raising his hand. Their hands connected, wind whipping past them. Rei widened his eyes, seeing the other tall man look up and frown. Eyes flashing red, Ichirou pulled his fist back and brought it forward. It connected with Rei, bones breaking under the man's punch, sending him flying back.
Koichi widened his eyes, seeing markings appear up Ichirou's cheeks. "Fuck."
He was soon in the same state as Rei, grasping at his chest and eyes wide with pain. The twins launched themselves at Mitsuo, their eyes flashing red before they attacked. Rina ran towards Zenaku, flipping him over and gasping when she saw his chest. Even though he was getting very little air he winced and gave her a tense grin. Tears filled her eyes before she hardened her demeanour and held her hands above his chest, a green glow emitting from her hands.
Mitsuo hit the ground, letting out a pained snarl before he tried to get up and get the twins.
"Koichi, we have no chance of beatin' 'em now!" Rei yelled, pushing himself up and holding his chest, eyes closed shut. "Get us out of here!"
The group stopped and widened their eyes, turning to see the redhead grabbing his sword.
"Disappear," Koichi murmured, eyes closed in pain. "Masuta Toransupota."(Master Transporter)
His sword changed, causing the group to widen their eyes.
Just then Hijoshikina appeared, looking up with a frown. His eyes flicked over to Nojima, widening his eyes and parting his lips. Yellow eyes looked in every direction, glancing towards Mitsuo's blade. His eyes were trained on it, eyes growing dark. The twins ran towards the redhead, seeing him open one eye and smirk at him before his body turned into reiatsu.
They stopped, eyes growing wide before they looked towards Rei, seeing him look the same.
Mitsuo ended up in the same state, while Hijoshikina ran towards Nojima.
About to reach out towards him, his body suddenly turned into reiatsu, the four balls of energy going up into the air and dispersing.
"Fuck!" Ichirou cursed, eyes wide with rage. "I'll kill you Hijoshikina...!" He threatened, eyes narrowing dangerously as they flashed red.
"Ichirou!"
Turning, he ran towards Zenaku, seeing Rina look up with wide eyes. The twins ran over to Nojima, Renzo quickly running to where Shiko was. Reizo gently picked up his fellow blonde, eyes wide and eyebrows furrowed with worry when he cried out in pain. Rina shook her head lightly, eyes remaining wide.
"I-I can't heal him, I'm not good enough," Rina admitted, shaking her head lightly. "We need to take him to the fourth division."
Ichirou nodded and bent down, picking up the scarred man as gently as he could. She tried healing him to the best of her abilities, and for that he thanked her. Looking up, he saw Renzo run back towards them with Shiko on his back. The brunette looked up, giving a weak smile before his eyes looked towards Zenaku. Worry instantly filled his brown irises. Ichirou nodded, turning and running down the street, the others quickly following him.
Tetsuya gave a pained yell, teeth tight together and eyes screwed shut.
As soon as he saw the fight end Kurotsuchi attached the seal, causing the man to fall to his side when the pain stopped inside his body. Panting lightly he looked towards the hologram, seeing Unohana rushing towards the door to head to the fourth division. Resting for a moment he struggled and pushed himself up, slowly getting to his feet.
"Reta-sama," Nikito started, gasping and widening his eyes when he received a firm stare.
"I want to go to the fourth division," Tetsuya said, heading towards the door with a pained look on his face. "No discussions over this." He said firmly, seeing the shorter man open his mouth to object.
"B-But Reta-sama-!"
Tetsuya suddenly turned, standing tall and glaring down at the shorter man. Nikito stumbled back, eyes growing wide and fearful.
"Not. Another. Word. Nikito!" Tetsuya hissed, eyes narrowed dangerously and mouth in a firm line.
"...Y-Yes, sir." Nikito mumbled, taking another step back.
Turning, the tall man limped towards the doors, bending over and holding his side with a wince before he continued on. Everyone in the room stared in shock, watching as he left the room. Nikito trembled slightly, eyes remaining wide and trained on the door, as if expecting the man to suddenly come back and get even more furious.
"Whoa... Guess he can be serious when he wants ta." Shinji commented, eyebrows raised.
"He's pissed," Kensei said, raising an eyebrow and giving a frown. "Why?"
"I didn't help..." Nikito took a step back, raising his hands to his head, eyes remaining wide. "I didn't help... I didn't help... Reta-sama... is mad... at me...!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Nikito! Calm down, it's not your fault!" Shinji stepped forward and held his hands out. "As you said, you can't fight anymore 'cause yer not ready yet. It's not yer fault. Don't go back ta bein' depressed again." He said calmly and slowly.
"It's my fault...!" Nikito trembled, eyes remaining wide. "I-If I hadn't taken them from here... If I hadn't ruined their lives... so many lives... so many people died... so many people...!" His lip trembled. "It's my fault...! If I hadn't... ruined... everything...! I mess up everything! I can't...! I...!"
Nikito fell forward, Kensei grabbing him after he knocked him out. He frowned slightly and looked up, seeing Shinji staring at his former third seat with a frown.
"He's becoming a rather complicated case." Kyoraku sighed, seeing some of the Taichos leave the office.
Ichigo frowned, turning to glance at the city.
Koichi hit the ground, letting out a cringe and looking up. Hijo glared down at him, his expression so demonic that it could send shivers down anyone's spines. Another kick. Another cry from the victim's mouth. Reaching down he grasped his neck and raised him in the air, eyes cold and mouth in a firm line.
"...Why... did you take us away?" Hijo asked slowly and calmly.
"'C-Cause we would've lost!" Koichi gasped, grabbing at his hand. "T-Their reiatsu was r-released! We would've been killed!"
"Tell me, Koichi," Hijo leaned close until they were face to face. "Who... hurt... Nojima?" He tightened his grip.
Koichi choked. "M-Mitsuo!"
He was released, falling to the ground and taking deep breaths. Hijo whirled, turning to glare at the dark haired man. Mitsuo gasped loudly and quickly stepped back. In a split second he had a sword going through his chest, causing Rei and Koichi to widen their eyes in shock as they tried to nurse their wounds. The timid man gasped and opened his mouth in shock, eyes wide as he looked down. Looking up, he stared at yellow eyes.
"Nojima in mine," Hijo said sweetly, tilting his head and giving a wide smile. "You hurt him, Mitsuo... It's only right that I kill you for trying to kill what is mine..." He leaned in close and gave a savage grin. "Good bye, Mitsuo... It's been fun playing with you."
Mitsuo slumped, eyes dark and no longer moving. Hijo removed his sword, dropping the man without a second thought. Swinging his sword to get the blood off he turned to stare at the Seireitei in the distance. With a turn, he started walking away, completely disregarding both Rei and Koichi.
"Holy shit..." Koichi breathed, staring wide-eyed at the body of Mitsuo. "...He... killed him..."
"Yeah... That's what he does," Rei said, turning to glare after the man. "...Ta be truthful, Koichi... I don't even know why he joined Reta. He said it's cause something Reta did, something to do with everyone he had attacked..."
"Could it be to kill?" Koichi asked, turning to look in the distance to stare at the city.
"Don't know... Don't know why the fuck he joined. One thing's for sure," Rei scoffed and turned to see the man walking far in the distance. "He deserves ta fuckin' die."
Never take Hijo's sword. O.O He'll kill you.
