Disrupted🪭

34 - Resolve

Ichigo was in a smaller version of the underground training yards that Urahara and Hirako under their homes and was running from Byakuya's Hollow form for dear life. Now he knew what Ishida had felt like when he had turned into a full Hollow and arbitrarily just threw his sword into him without a second thought. Byakuya wouldn't care if he knew him or not at this moment in time, he just wanted to eat him.

Byakuya suddenly sent a Cero towards him and Ichigo barely missed it as he jumped over a boulder and hid behind it.

"I don't think my Hollow form would be able to handle this type of pressure... I can always try though..." He closed his eyes for a second and shook his head. "Something is wrong with the other me. I can feel it in the pit of my stomach. I have to get out of here and make sure I'm okay."

Byakuya let out a scream and Ichigo closed his eyes, pulling his hand over his face to put the Hollow mask on.

***********************

Captain Kurosaki (with Orihime's help) was starting to make his way towards where he could sense his younger version's reiatsu. He noticed the change and he also noticed Byakuya's change in reiatsu.

"Shit, Byakuya's Hollow has been released and I'm trying to fight him. They feel close together."

"Don't rush yourself, Kurosaki-san." Orihime said, putting her hand on his back.

"I'm fine, Orihime. I've dealt with wounds worse than this."

"I think we should just get you to Squad 4 and have them take a look at you. I'm sure Captain Zaraki will be able to help you."

"Knowing him he'll just punch me in my already open wound. He may have calmed down a lot but he's still a Kenpachi. Yachiru would do the same thing-" He coughed, holding his stomach as much as he could as he vomited blood. "Shit..."

"See?"

"Again, I can handle it." He stood up straight and wiped the blood from his mouth. "I'm not going to lose to these idiots."

"Aw, that's not very nice to call us something so lame."

Captain Kurosaki turned, his hand on the hilt of his zanpakuto. Murasunta smiled at him and then made a face.

"You're bleeding!"

"That's what usually happens when you get stabbed. I try not to do it often..."

"How am I supposed to control your Hollow if when I'm done with you you will probably die? Then again, your Hollow is pretty temperamental when it comes to the body it inhabits..."

"Go, Orihime." The captain said. "I'll hold her off."

Murasunta giggle. "Oh my, with that dysfunctional thing? If I do recall Busuta should have deactivated it so you don't have anything."

"That doesn't mean they aren't still swords."

Murasunta laughed, throwing her hair back over her shoulder.

"You are just adorable. Every time I see you, I just want to pinch your little cheeks. I hate doing this to super cute people. Retrieve Antarika Niyantrana."

Captain Kurosaki dropped his blades and began to yell, holding his head as the Hollow began to take over.

*******************

"Hai, hai, I brought the Cakurahita that escaped back!" Tachuri yelled, dragging Osaka behind her.

Mayuri looked over and his eyes widened as he looked over at Nemu.

"Nemu! Didn't I tell you to watch the prisoner?"

"I did but when I tried to tell you she escaped you told me to be quiet."

Urahara smiled and went over to Osaka, who was pouting in her bound state.

"Oh my, it looks like you've gotten yourself into a predicament there. Will you cooperate with us now?"

Osaka was about to say something crude when she looked behind Urahara's shoulder and saw Tachuri glaring at her, an aura that rivaled Captain Unohana's put fear into the young girl and she nodded.

"Grand!" Urahara said, turning back to Mayuri, who was grinding his teeth in a dangerously tight way. "So, it looks like we will get to work together after all. Won't that be fun?"

He said nothing as Tachuri pulled on Osaka's rope.

"I got her to tell us what can defeat them, Dad." She said with a grin.

"Well, aren't you just like your mother?" he said with a pat on her head.

Osaka frowned. Seems more like her father, that crazy bitch.

**********************

"I thank you all who were able for coming. It seems that the Cakurahita have become a bigger problem than to be expected. They have released Aizen from his prison and it seems like they have done something to Captain Kuchiki, Captain Kurosaki, as well as Yichigo Kurosaki. We have Captain Kurotsuchi and Urahara working with the Cakurahita that was captured by them in order to figure out how we can combat these foes."

"Sorry to interrupt." Someone said as the door opened up. "But I thought I heard my name."

Everyone looked over as Aizen walked in. The Head Captain made a face at him.

"You have some nerve walking in on a captain's meeting, Aizen Sosuke."

"I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to come say hello. Lots of new faces... and some old ones... that I didn't expect." He said, glaring straight at Gin.

Gin smirked. "Ohayo, Aizen-sama."

The Head Captain got up. "What is it you wish to do here, Aizen?"

"Unfortunately, I'm just a distraction. Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu."

Everyone but Gin seemed to be entrapped in whatever Aizen had planned. Gin smiled as Aizen narrowed his eyes at him.

"Neh, it seems I'm immune."

"That's impossible." Aizen said, narrowing his eyes at Gin. "You're the only one who knows the secret but the blade is no longer here."

Gin grinned more. "Oh dear, it seems I've surprised you. That's not something that happens too often, is it, Aizen-sama?"

Gin moved out of the way of a couple of captains who were fighting something –Gin thought most likely a replica of Aizen in whatever hypnotic trance they were in- and stared at Aizen.

"It looks like we'll have to fight on our own terms. Eh, but where's your zanpakuto? It looks like you don't have something to defend yourself with."

Aizen glared at him. "You underestimate me. Didn't that cause your death before?"

"Nope. I never underestimated you, Aizen-sama. Ichigo warned me about you loooong before I even decided to go up against you. I knew I would probably die in the process but I knew what my resolve was. Although I failed in my purpose, knowing I had protected Rangiku was enough. I was given a second chance and although I've been a very, very good boy, I always keep my resolve."

"And what is that?" Aizen said with a mocking smirk.

Gin smirked back. "I am a snake. Always have been and always will be."

Aizen chuckled. "Well then, I guess I will have to cut your head off since that's the proper way to kill a snake."
