He can't be gone...

Chapter 2- Saline vs Gin

Chapter 2

(Flash back.)

The Spiritual Pressure that Saline contained was more then any Captain in the Soul Society, even more then his own.  More and more, the sky turned darker, and the clouds formed a circle around the Icy Blue beam. Captain Hitsugaya, who had been also looking for Gin, had seen the beam of power, and the darkened sky. He flash stepped to where this power was coming from, as he arrived he was forced down on his hands and knees. The pressure was to strong, even for him, Captain of the 10th Division. He looked up and gasped, Saline had Gin down on the ground, her Zanpakuto at the base of his throat. Hitsugaya blinked, what he saw around her arm couldn't be true. 

A black dragon. The long tail of the dragon was wrapped around Saline's right arm. Spiraling around her arm, it's upper body sat on her shoulder, and around her neck, resting on her left shoulder, sat the dragon's head. His eyes were closed, but in a flash, he must have sensed Hitsugaya's presence, his eyes flashed open, reviling his Icy Blue eyes. He glared at the Captain for a moment, then turned his attention to Gin.

The Zanpakuto let out a growl from it's throat, then opened his mouth. A Blue flame formed, growing bigger and bigger, the longer the dragon left his mouth open. Saline laughed, "As a Lieutenant, I have to make sure that no matter what, everyone is safe in the Soul Society. I must ma-" Gin cut her off with a loud laugh, "Saline you fool! I'm your brother for crying out loud! You dare face me?" Saline's eyes widened, and Gin saw his chance. Gin grabbed the tip of Saline's Zanpakuto and ripped it right out of her hands. Saline didn't move, she didn't have a next move to make. 

Gin had taken the only thing from her that was saving her, so she was as good as dead. Gin laughed again, "You shouldn't have lost focus, Saline. I mean, I do know your moves better then anyone else. And even though this must be your Bankai, I can tell you, the more you use it, the stronger it will get." He ran the blade threw his hand, the brilliant silver shimmered in the dark sky's light. "To bad you won't have that chance." Gin whispered, as he took Saline's blade in both hands, with a little smirk he snapped it. His bare hands, breaking the silver blade in two. Saline's body went numb, she couldn't breath, and everything felt like it was going slower.

Hitsugaya's eye's widened, 'He just snapped Lieutenant Ichimaru's blade, with so much ease.' The young Captain thought, he couldn't believe it. He watched as the black dragon that rested upon Saline's arm, just gently disappeared. Saline growled, she lashed out at Gin, "Hadō Number thirty-thre-" Gin cut Saline's stomach open with the tip of his blade, causing her to collapse. Her Spiritual Pressure lifted, it dyed out. Gin threw his head back and laughed, "My, my. I didn't think that the youngest Ichimaru would die so quickly. Maybe you should have just stayed home, or joined us." His voice was mocking Saline, as if him killing her was all just a game.

Saline looked up at her brother, blood trailed from the corners of her lips. On her hands and knees she was shaking, she looked her brother in the eye, "Rise... Shi.. No.. TENSHI!" She screamed with her last breath, tears streamed, then she smiled that Ichimaru smile, "Looks like you've lost... Gin.." She said, her voice was mocking him this time, but why? Hitsugaya looked over to where Saline's blade laid on the ground, he caught his breath. The blade was glowing, gently forming and piecing back together. Gin noticed this and laughed, "I neve-" He was cut off by a strike of light blue energy, knocking him back.

Hitsugaya looked over to the direction to where the blast had come from, he was in total shock. The dragon that had once rested on Saline's arm and shoulder, had re-appeared, the icy blue eyes looked over at Hitsugaya, meeting his gaze. The dragon gently nodded his head, as if he was asking for the young Captain to take care of Saline. But out of know where, everything went black. Saline was brought back to reality, by the pain of hitting the ground that had once been beneath her.
