Ichigo and I paced through the streets and soon found Rukia who was there along with Uryu, who had been on the ground, bleeding profusely. "Uryu!" Ichigo proclaimed, getting out his sword. Rukia was hovered on the ground, staring up at the other two soul reapers. The one, I knew who he was right away. "Byakuya..." I thought to myself, with my eyes widened in shock. The red-headed soul reaper with the tattoos had his sword raised and was about to land a blow that would not only kill Uryu, but severely hurt Rukia as well. Ichigo ran forward and raised his sword, sending a wave of energy to interfere at the attack. He glanced upwards. "Tch.. just who the hell are you?!"
Ichigo was angry. "Ichigo Kurosaki, the one who is going to defeat you!"
"Ichigo!" Rukia cried. "Run away!! You need to get Hisana out of here too!"
Byakuya's eyes widened as he looked right in my direction. "Hisana..." Before I could turn around, Byakuya had reappeared beside me. I tried to move away, but Byakuya placed a binding spell on me, so that I could not reach for my zanpoktou. "Bakudo number 61, Rikojokoro.."
"D-Damn it!" I sighed. I was not liking where this situation was going to end up.
The red-headed soul reaper stopped, glancing over at Ichigo, who had his sword placed on top of his shoulders. "Who's squad are you from? Who's orders are you following? And what is with the idiotically huge sword?!"
"Well I guess it's kind of big, isn't it?" Ichigo replied, not paying much mind of it.
"That idiot..." Rukia sighed, yet with worry. "Why did he even come here and to bring a noblewoman with him on top of that.."
"Ah.." the red-headed soul reaper glanced up. "So you're the man who stole Rukia's powers?!" He then turned to face me. "And is this the noblewoman you've been searching for, sir?" Byakuya followed with a nod. "Got it."
"So what if I am?" Ichigo readied his sword. "You're dead!!" The soul reaper unleashed an attack towards Ichigo, and they began to clash. The battle had seemed as if the upper hand was geared towards the opposing soul reaper. He then landed a blow on Ichigo's shoulder and he had then dropped on to ground onto his knees.
The soul reaper approached Ichigo. "It's over. You're going to die and Rukia will be given her powers back. And then Rukia will be executed at the soul society."
Ichigo's eyes widened. I couldn't even believe what I was hearing, even if I was a noblewoman. Killing someone for that offense? "Anyway... you're pretty stupid." The soul reaper continued on. "Rukia came out by herself just so you wouldn't stop me. You should've just stayed calmly at your home. You came all this way out here for nothing. Do you even think a hasty soul reaper such as yourself can even land a scratch on an experienced soul reaper like me?" When he had least expected it, Ichigo rose and swung his sword at him. He was rather startled by this. "Oops, my bad. You were in the middle of talking so happily, then there was a pause and my hand just slipped. Did I interrupt your speech? Sorry, please continue your talking. You were saying something about one scratch?"
"You bastard..." The soul reaper clenched his fist in anger. Just as about he was set to make another move, Byakuya spoke. "You were too careless, Renji."
"Captain Kuchiki?! What are you talking about sir? This is nothing to a guy like this!"
"I knew that he looked familiar." Byakuya stood, calm and poised. "Around 33 hours ago, using our undercover forces, we were able to see the image. We had sent the menos grande to the void due to the scar that he had given it."
Renji laughed. "Are you expecting me to fall for that bullshit? A man like him gave a Menos Grande a scar?"
Byakuya looked directly at him. "Renji..."
