Afire Love (Bleach: Ichiruki)

XXXX

Rukia's eyes snapped open, the sclera of her eyes poisoned with black darkness. Her usual lively and bright purple irises were replaced by a raging gold, as she slowly but creepily lifted her head up.

Shut up, ya annoying Captain.

With a strike of her hand, Mayuri Kurotsuchi was flung across the area, as Nemu rushed after his flailing and cursing body.

With no control over her body, Rukia stood up onto her feet, the hollow pulsing throughout her.

With every pulse, her body changed slightly, growing more stronger. Her face was hidden by a similar hollow mask that Ichigo wore, as the power and energy of the hollow surged through her.

Her-- no-- its eyes were glued onto Ichigo's head that was still face planted onto the ground by Urahara. 

As it took a swift step towards him, Byakuya intersected its path, as Urahara threw Ichigo (literally) to Nemu, who caught him like he was a light weight pillow. Captain Kurotsuchi was breathing of rage now as he seethed at it.

It was hesitant as Captain Kuchiki stood before it, his hand on the handle of his zanpakuto, ready to draw it if it was going to attack.

The hollowfied Rukia suddenly let out a painful scream as it gripped its head in agony, backing up clumsily.

Don't hurt him. Rukia spoke to the hollow that had taken over her body.

Damn you humans and your pesky little weaknesses. It snarled.

The hollowfied Rukia lunged at Captain Kuchiki. Her speed was astonishing and caught him off guard, as he stood a few feet now from where he was, blood dripping down his arm.

"Captain!!" Renji screamed out. It snapped its head to the sound of his voice, a sinister grin set on its face.

Renji pulled out his zanpakuto, summoning his shikai as he swung it at the hollowfied Rukia. But she suddenly appeared at his side, catching Renji by surprise. With a slam of its hand across his side, Renji went plummeting to the ground.

Captain Kyōraku sighed in defeat.

"Yare yare. Not again."

Placing his arm out in front of him and directing his fingers toward the hollowfied Rukia, who snapped her head and approached Kyōraku at a striking speed, the Head Captain spoke: "Bakudō 63! Sajo Sabaku!"

Ropes of bright light shot out from Shunsui's fingertips just as it was barely few feet from him - it would have been impossible herself to dodge an attack like that at suck close proximity.

It struggled in the binding ropes, falling to its knees ant trying to break free of the Head Captain's kidō.

Byakuya appeared behind his hollowfied sister, bringing his uninjured arm before him. The hollowfied Rukia turned and faced him, an amused sneer on her lips.

"Bakudō 62. Hyappo Rankan." A huge rod of energy erupted from Byakuya's hand, before disintegrating into smaller and more numerous rods. It let out a sinister laugh before it was pinned onto its back against the ground, facing the sky.

It laid down, erupting into fits of evil laughter, immobile as it stared at the sky. Its vision was suddenly filled with the displeased face of Byakuya Kuchiki.

He was filled with rage.

But he knew what he had to do.

He slowly drew out his zanpakuto, clenching the handle of the blade tightly. He raised it so it was hovering just above the heart of his now lost sister.
