As Rukia and Ichigo emerged from the Urahara Shop, Rukia almost collapsed as she sensed the spiritual pressure of both Byakuya and Naruto up ahead not too far from their current location. Rukia halted for a moment, contemplating what could occur to those she cared for if she continued this pointless rebellion against the Soul Society. Naruto's spiritual power was increasing while Byakuya's remained the same, meaning that the captain was pushing Naruto to his limit. And Rukia knew better then most, this was not even the tip of the iceberg. Byakuya's spiritual power paled to what he was displaying at this time, meaning he was toying with Naruto. Ichigo looked back as he halted himself as well, studying the expression on Rukia's face as he glanced back to see what was keeping the girl. She seemed frightened, perhap's even terrified. Ichigo looked back up the street toward Byakuya and Naruto's location, feeling a strange sensation come about him as he did.

"Am I sensing their power?" Ichigo wondered as he narrowed his eye's, feeling slightly sick to his stomach at this point. "If I am, then this is going to be one hell of a fight..."

"Ichigo, stay here!" Rukia broke her silence, causing Ichigo to look at the former Shinigami in shock. "I know what me and Naruto asked of you, but we can't force you to run to a death match!" Ichigo closed his eye's for a moment, seemingly taking in what Rukia was saying. After a moment, the Substitute Shinigami opened his eye's, flashing Rukia a grin.

"You can stay, but I'm going…" Ichigo responded as he turned back toward the direction Byakuya and Naruto's fight was occurring, then took off toward the area. Rukia stood in the same position, a grim expression now clouding her face. She knew what she had to do, even if it meant she had to die in the process.

As Naruto brought down his zanpakuto at Byakuya for a mighty swing, the captain countered by using his own zanpakuto to absorb the attack, then effortlessly pushed back the still in the air Shinigami into the dirt below. As Naruto was pushed back, he did a backflip as soon as his foot touched the ground, to avoid losing his footing. As this occurred, Byakuya flash stepped behind the still recovering Naruto, who turned in time to see Byakuya's zanpakuto entering his radius, but was unable to avoid it. Byakuya's zanpakuto sliced Naruto across the chest, blood escaping the Shinigami's mouth as this occurred. As Byakuya gave a satisfied grunt, he sheathed his zanpakuto, in preparation to detain the blond haired Shinigami.

"Renji, it is time to go find Rukia," Byakuya stated as he glanced over at the fallen lieutenant, who was wiping a strand of blood from the corner of his mouth.

"I apologize Captain Kuchiki, for causing you to lift a finger against such an opponent…" Renji apologized as he bowed his head in shame. "I think my own personal feeling's might have interfered, not allowing me to attack at my full potential. I just… Naruto, you idiot…" Renji glanced over at Naruto, who was still in the same position he was in when Byakuya struck him. Byakuya also glanced over, sensing that something was wrong.

"Wait… this is…" Byakuya stated as his hand reached for his zanpakuto, but it was too late. The real Naruto emerged from the tree's, a stream of spiritual energy sliding across the dirt, hitting Byakuya dead on before his finger even touched the hilt of his blade. Byakuya stood with his arm's crossed before him, in a defensive stance, his outfit now in shred's due to the attack. As Byakuya looked up, Naruto was before him, zanpakuto pointing at the Captain's chest.

"You… are better then I gave you credit for…" Byakuya admitted as Naruto only grinned in response. "I never would have expected this… but it's over now."

"It won 't be over until you leave this place, without Rukia," Naruto explained. "I won't give in, I know that you haven't used your shikai yet. But then again, I haven't even showed you Kyubiakuma's full potential yet. So now what, Captain? You can either take me and let your sister live, or I'll do whatever I have to, even if it mean's I have to kill you to stop you from taking her!"

"Such insolence, when you address someone of a noble clan," Byakuya responded as he unsheathed his zanpakuto. "At the end of this match, I shall make you realize the truth: You were simply outclassed from the beginning…"

As Naruto prepared to strike against the Captain, he was interrupted by Ichigo, who emerged from out of nowhere, attacking Byakuya as Byakuya prepared to counter Naruto's incoming attack. Byakuya flipped across the dirt as he was struck by the sheer force of Ichigo's giant zanpakuto. Renji gasped as he witnessed his captain be attacked in such a manner, trying to pull himself up as Naruto and Ichigo stood side by side looming before the fallen Captain.

"So, I hope I made it in time," Ichigo stated as Naruto grinned, sheathing his zanpakuto. "Rukia's on her way, so let's just…" As Ichigo was speaking, Renji's zanpakuto was pushed through Naruto's chest, Naruto looking down as the blade was pushed through his heart. Ichigo's eye's went blank as he looked back at the culprit, who was none other than… Rukia.

"Rukia… why would you do such a thing?" Ichigo choked out as Rukia let go of the hilt of the blade, Naruto's blood down the blade, onto Rukia's hand's. Naruto collapsed onto the ground without a word, Byakuya pulling himself up from the ground.

"Rukia, you must come with me now," Byakuya stated as Rukia nodded, walking to the side of her brother. "So you are the one who stole Rukia's power, are you not?" Ichigo backed away, not knowing what to say or do. Byakuya flash stepped behind Ichigo, cutting the Substitute Shinigami's soul chain as he did. Ichigo collapsed to the ground as this occurred, not knowing what had just happened to him.

"Sir, what of Uzumaki Naruto?" Renji asked as he glanced down at his fallen best friend. He held back his tear's, he held back all emotion. Though in his heart, Renji had been broken.

"Leave him, he will not survive that blow," Byakuya stated. "It would be meaningless to bring a corpse back with us. Come along Rukia, we shall go now…"

"No, don't do this Rukia!" Ichigo tried to choke out, but was unable to utter a word. He could only watch as Rukia, Renji, and Byukuya disappeared through a door that assumingly lead to the Soul Society. As Ichigo's vision gave out, the last sight he saw was a group of people surrounding both him and Naruto…
