Bleach, Loving Star (3rd Book)

Chapter 30:

-Aika p.o.v-

As we made our way to the clearing from the dead forest that surrounded the large castle I widened my eyes as i saw in the front were little gremlin type creatures.

Rukia and Renji were both ready for battle as well as everyone else while me and Luna prepared to heal at all times. 

Mayumi was fully healed but i'm still worried about the poison that might have not gotten out of her blood, only time will tell for that. As i was lost in thought i suddenly felt the spiritual pressure of-!

"Their in there, I can sense familiar spiritual pressures but they seem more powerful.."

I trailed off, all this time they went hidden, was this them training? and if so why couldn't they atleast talk to us before hand?

"Let's go, i feel like we got a lot of running and fighting, so leave the talking to later, Aika."

i heard Renji and i nodded as my sister just sat there clenching her hands together as she gave a sort of depressed look at the castle, i gazed around to see the lava moat and the craters full of lava as well. The air was full of dark and an unsettling feeling. 

"Remember, Once you die. You can't leave. You're Stuck here for the rest of your days being eaten over and over by the kushinatas, and then your bones grinded into stacks of dust with others."

After Rukia said that we set off and my heart was racing, i was nervous but excited. Would i be able to protect everyone or even one single person alone?

We began to close in on the castle until i saw in the distance that there were small gremlins covered in bones and skeletons with little swords on them, but they came in a large group standing in front of the entrance, i saw Rukia give Renji and Mayumi a look as they spread out with Renji in the middle, Mayumi to the right and Rukia to the left and Soken making his way in between Mayumi and Renji.

Me and Luna prepared our Shun Shun Rikas, for hers were actually attached to her wrists so she could summon them easier.mine were in my hair but still. we then saw the soul reapers fighting as well as Soken, e and Luna stopped and observed the fighting and prepared for the worst.

As the fight has begun.

-Dom p.o.v-

I-I can feel them....

my hands which have been tied with the rusty chains. they loosened as i looked at his face and never blinked an eye, for i had lost the will to fight anymore.

but now, I must fight for what's right for my empire. for I am the key to victory as well that beast over there, but Father stared at me as i hung over the lava pit, being brought down to the side and my body becoming movable once again.

"Dominate, I say you must be happy, some old friends have come to reunite with you of course. but now you must be a killing machine, and so.."
