The Nueva Espada

Chapter 1:Hurt

"Why...WHY?" Rukia screamed in her head "Why did this happen?...those...bastards, every single last one of them are bastards!"

It happened so fast...Ichigo nor Rukia ever saw it coming

Ichigo had just returned from his fight with the 4th Espada, in the process bringing a new mask with him, but despite his best Efforts, he only managed to land a scratch on the Cero Espada's neck, then hope seemed to have arrived, Kenpachi Zaraki and Byakuya Kuchiki had arrived to help or so it seemed...Captain Unohana and Lieutenant Isane had showed up to help as did Captain Mayuri, It all Seemed like the Espada would be dead and buried in 5 Minutes tops...

"Have they been dealt with?" Byakuya asked out of the blue

"Hardly" Mayuri Scoffed "Due to your late arrival I was forced to let the Quincy go"

"Let him go?" Rukia thought "What does he mean by that?"

"You let him go?" Kenpachi scoffed

"Idiot" Mayuri Groaned "The Quincy nearly killed me last time, I'd prefer it if I didn't run the risk a second time"

"It does not matter" Byakuya said as he turned around to Ichigo "I Take it the Quincy and the human girl perished in the battle?"

"What the hell?" Ichigo practically screamed "Of course they didn't!"

"I See..." Byakuya muttered

"'The hell you pricks talking about?" The Cero Espada, Yammy Rialgo roared

"It does not concern you" Byakuya Scolded

"So we're carrying this out now?" A newly healed Renji spoke up

"W-What are they talking about?" Rukia wondered

"It appears so" Byakuya said, Kenpachi groaned while Captain Unohana had a look of Regret in her eyes

"What are you guys talking about?" Ichigo asked, baffled

"Christ, I'd hoped to get to fight him one last time" Kenpachi groaned as he walked towards Ichigo

"It'll be over soon" Renji said to Rukia with a mmile

"W-What are you talking about?" Rukia stuttered, Renji's eye's widened

"C'mon Rukia...That's not funny" He noted

"What are you talking about?" She groaned "The war is far from over..."

"C-Captain" He stuttered at Byakuya "You...You told me-"

"I lied Renji" He admitted "Her knowing could endanger the mission"

"Okay...this isn't funny" Rukia said, a hint of fear in her voice "What are you two talking about?"

"I agree" Ichigo nodded "What are you two talk-"

Ichigo could not finish his sentence as a sudden pain in his chest suddenly rose up

"What...What the" He began...he looked down and saw what causing him that immense pain

Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakutou...impaled through his chest

"Ichigo!" Rukia screamed as she began to charge, only for Renji to hold her back

Mayuri Korosuchi's Zanpakutou followed, Piercing his abdomen

"To think" Mayuri scoffed "To think we could of saved a hell of a lot of time by simply walking up and stabbing him!"

"Stop it!" Rukia screamed as she struggled to break free of Renji's Grip "What are you doing!"

"W...Why" Is all Ichigo could get out before Senbonzakura pierced his heart
