Road to Ruin

Chapter 34: Forsaken

A/N: Hello everyone! Betcha didn't think I'd be back so soon 😉 Inspiration has been plenty lately so I am going to try and finish the final chapter of this fic soon. I'm so happy you've all been enjoying it, as I've had blast writing it as well. Road to Redemption will resume once this fic is done. However I can't give ya an exact date since the next chapter of that fic will be pretty long and to top it off I'll be going back to classes on September 4th, which means less writing time. Until then however I hope you enjoy and thanks for reading! 🤗😋

Chapter 34: Forsaken

"This is the last we'll ever see of this little town." Sosuke mused.

Gin nodded in agreement but grew cold at the idea of them wiping an entire space of the map. 'I'll have to strike soon. the question is, when. When can I catch him off guard?'

The pair walked into the town, it was dead quiet for a while. Soon enough however they spotted a group of kids walking a few blocks away.

"Those kids seem to be awake." Gin told him, he knew he'd seen them before.

"Yes. Ulquiorra reported on them when he and Yammy returned from their mission. Those are Kurosaki's friends."

'Shit.' This wasn't good. He knew well what Sosuke was thinking and he dreaded seeing it come to pass.

Sosuke lowered his spiritual pressure slightly so that the humans could sense it. They all stopped in their tracks trying to process it. Gin was growing impatient if he didn't intervene then those humans would be crushed like ants.

The students didn't seem too surprised by their presence, likely because Ichigo or Kisuke might have explained some things to them. Still, their very presence put a strain on them.

"Impressive we are so close and yet none of you have been crushed to death." Sosuke took out his sword. "No matter, Kurosaki will get the message either way."

One of the students, a girl pushed the other one out of the way. "Keigo, run away!"

"I'm not leaving without you Tatsuki!"

"And I told you to fuck off or we're both dead. Take the Chizuru with you!"

The boy eventually obliged and ran off. Gin was about to chase him but Sosuke stopped him. "It's alright. This one will be enough"

Just as Sosuke was about to bring down his sword, someone else appeared on the scene. Gin recognized him as the main actor from that show that was filmed in Karakura. 'Well, this should be interesting.'

"Great. I'm about to die and the last thing I'm going to see is Kannonji's bad acting." The girl muttered. Gin was starting to like her deadpan humor.

" And who might you be?" Sosuke asked annoyed.

"Wha-?! You don't watch much television, do you boy? Fine I shall tell you my name-"

"What are doing here Kannonji?" The girl asked him.

"Arisawa-san! How could you blow my cover like that I was about to do my very special introduction! That was cruel!"

"Then here's another cruel blow, for your own good go back home! There's nothing to be done here."

It looked like the gravity of the situation finally hit him, as Kannonji felt the strong pressure that was keeping Arisawa down.

"I believe you're both at your limit," Sosuke told him. " I should commend you for lasting this long."
