Bleach, A Warm Star. (1st book)

Chapter 43: Mae Hana

~Ichigo p.o.v~

We got to the place and saw the white wall then i looked at nel

"Nel how about you-"

i looked at her then she gave me a pissed off look

"Itsygo, i can go, im not little anymore, im an espada, and i have a spy inside so if we meet with her-"

i lifted her by the collar of her rag dress and sighed

"Im not going to suffer protecting you the whole time, its going to be like the last time we came here and-"

"Itsygo, this Kate girl, i know her too"

i lifted my brow then she closed her eyes

"the spy for me told me about her and i knew her when she was here training, we got on a bad foot at first then i transformed back

to my little form and she smiled, she treated me like a little kid, she protected me and helped me and my brothers, even though we werent

human like her and her brother, but she helped me train also, we helped each other because when she wanted to sleep i looked

after her while she did, we hid from her brother and that black haired guy so we didnt get killed, and now that shes in trouble,

i want to help her with her"

she said and i looked at orihime smiling

"Kurosaki-kun, we should bring her, it seems she has the same determination as you do"

i smiled at nel and put her on my shoulder

"alright guys, so lets get in the same way we did the last time"

Chad came up and nodded, his arm transformed and he punched the wall hard

It was destroyed the minute he touched that wall

"Good work Chad, now lets go inside"

rangiku nodded at me as we headed inside, nel hung on to my shoulder

we kept going into the long corridors until we saw the paths we took last time, it went 8 separate ways, just enough for everyone

I looked at everyone and grinned

"We will all go separate ways, but everyone, dont under estimate this mystery enemy, they may be espadas but they might be even more powerful"

i said then i looked at orihime who was shooken up then i looked at Nel

"Nel you go with Orihime, i dont want anything happening that might get her seriously injured"

she nodded and climbed off me and onto orihime

"Alright, good luck guys, hopefully we meet up back here or somewhere else, and get Kate back"

everyone smiled and i raised my brow

"Ichigo, when this is all over we will probaly be getting yelled out by Kisuke, then have some tea"

Uryu said and i nodded

we all ran into separate hallways, they were white hallways and there would probaly be no difference in them

i ran down the hallway as fast as i could, not looking back, with my blade in my hand and just looking forward

Noone is going to loose if they keep their hopes up.


~Toshiro p.o.v~

I ran down the hallway and saw a opening, i quickly ran into the opening

i looked to see a room with flowers, and rose petals across

it was a very large room so it just looked like a greenhouse now

i looked to see a bench with a woman in it, i tried to get a little closer but her back was turned away

She had blonde short hair, it was straight but i couldnt see her clothing, which was a problem

"I see your Toshiro Hitsugaya riiiiight?"

she had the voice of a child, and i backed up a bit to see her get up and turn around

She is an espada, her cracked hollow mask was red and pink with dash of yellow

she had blue eyes and a really fluffy dress which made her look like a ballerina, and she was as small as kate

"Uh, Captain Hitsugaya, now wheres Kate?"

i sternly asked gripping my zampaktou tight

"The boss wont let me say, your going to have to beat me first, little boy"

I felt a vein pop out from that remark of hers, then i grinned

"A little girl like you needs to stay out of my way, now what espada rank are you?"

I asked then she started to jump and dance on the bench

"I dont need to tell you a thing"

i sighed

"Then whats your name?"

"Mae Hana, but just call me Mae"

looks like shes not much to show since shes so little

"Im not going to fight a espada who is probaly not even-"

she pulled her zampaktou out with a straight face then looked at me

"Fine, ill tell you my espada rank, but i think ill fight you a little bit before i tell hm?"

i got in my stance and stared at her, she looked at me and smiled, closing her eyes

"Your such a serious boy, why dont you just rest a little huh?"

i glared at her when she said that then we just looked at each other seeing who would make the first move

then she disapeared, i quickly put my zampaktou in a defensive stance as our blades crashed when she reappeared above me,

"Wow, what rank are you Toshiro?"

she quickly backed away to her original area then i exhaled

"Im a Captain, Captain of the 10th squad"

i said then she started to twirl around laughing

"A captain a captain~!"

he sang then i ran up to her dodging her counter attack and cutting her leg, i backed up then we just kept crashing blades

then when are blades were fighting while we held, she snickered

"Hitting a girl? how unmanly"

"I kill espadas, not girls"

She lost her smile and turned it to a snarl

"Ill end you"

she remarked and we kept crashing blades

Her power was so intense, how is this all coming from one little girl?

"Just tell me your espada rank, and maybe i wont hold back!"

i yelled then she giggled

"Well, here look"

she moved her mask to reveal her cheek, it had the number

1,

"Y-your that powerful?"

i said then she put the mask back

"Yea, i geuss you could say, im tough for a girl hm?"

im facing espada 1, and i didnt even know

this is going to take some time
