56 Hitsugaya Toshiro (1/2)

Ukitake and the rest were stunned while Itsuki continued observing calmly.

Miyako slowly got up and walked towards the patrolling Shinigami.

”This has gotten really serious.”

”I can't believe everyone except Miyako-dono was killed…”

”Is Miyako-do alright?”

”Yeah, they say her life isn't in any danger…”

”That's a relief, she is the one person that the 13th division cannot live without.”

”Yeah.”

”Oh, if it isn't Miyako-dono? Should you be up-”

Miyako just carried on walking towards them with her sword drawn and her bangs covering her eyes. Suddenly, she lunged forwards with full intent to kill towards the one that was questioning her. The Shinigami was too shocked to suddenly react when a person appeared in front of him.

The said person started shouting

”Miyako, what are you doing?!”

Kaien who suddenly appeared was shocked to see a ruthless look in her eyes as a bloodthirsty smile appeared on her face. Looking round she noticed she was surrounded by Ukitake, Rukia and the rest.

Ukitake looked at the patrolling soldiers and ordered,

”Leave this area!”

They were too shocked by the recent happenings as they absentmindedly ran away.

-Miyako-jumped back and looked around. Her smile never left her face as she ended up looking at Rukia,

”Miy…ako…-do…no”

-Miyako-gave out a ghastly scream as she ran towards her. Kaien, seeing this, jumped in front of Rukia while holding his hands out and shouted

”Stop, Miyako!”

Miyako regained some clarity in her eyes as she suddenly stopped. She seemed worried as sweat dripped down her face. Realising what she was doing, she slowly backed off and tried to make her escape by jumping onto the roof. Just as she was about to do that, she seemed to struggle with something and was fighting back trying to regain control. There seemed to be two entities fighting for possession of her body. Realising that she was slowly losing control she proceeded with her escape and jumped onto the roof. What Miyako wasn't expecting was for Itsuki to already be there.

Itsuki released some of his reiatsu and pushed Miyako back into the courtyard.

Kaien had seen her struggle and held some hope in his heart that his Miyako would be saved.

-Miyako-landed on the ground as her skin turned green and orange patches appeared surrounding her eyes.

”Tch, I was just about to eat this body.”

Frustration was in her voice as a strange masculine voice appeared from Miyako's mouth.

”Miyako!!”

Kaien still held hope of -Miyako-hearing him. -Miyako-suddenly turned to him as her eyes turned black.

”Why do you call out my name, young man?”

”Are you that worried about me?”

”Are you that much in love with me, young man?”

Miyako looked at him as a long tongue fell out her mouth.

”If you love me that much, then I'll eat you first!”

-Miyako-suddenly jumped at Kaien intent on biting him. Ukitake appeared in front and blocked the attack with his sword. They started confronting each other as Itsuki could tell Ukitake and the rest were looking for a way to help her with their passiveness.

The -Miyako- took extra care in not running towards Itsuki as she felt that if she did then it will be her death.

”Why don't you attack me?”

”I know, you're looking for a way to drag me out of this body, aren't you?”

”It's useless”

”I'm a spirit entity, she's a spirit entity. We're a union of spirit entities, we can never be separated!!”

The more -Miyako- spoke the more despair Kaien felt.

Ukitake suddenly made his move,

”I see, then I have no choice…”

-Miyako- looked shocked as she dodged, she was surprised seeing someone strike her with the intent to kill.

”Y-you would hurt you own comrade?!”

”Yes, I cannot let the likes of you have Miyako's body!”

Suddenly, Ukitake started having a coughing fit as he started to cough out blood. Seeing this, -Miyako- took this chance to make her escape but the same thing happened, Itsuki appeared. This time, Itsuki activated his eyes, crouched slightly and swung his sword. No one saw the swing, all they saw was Itsuki appearing behind her slowly sheathing his sword and -Miyako- collapsing.

Kaien, Rukia, Sentaro and Kiyone were stunned with the change of events. One minute they were trying to find ways to help Miyako, and the next they have a coughing captain and a supposedly dead Miyako.

”””Captain/Miyako!!!”””

Sentaro and Kiyone ran towards Ukitake and Kaien towards Miyako. Rukia stood there too shocked to move.

'Why is this happening?'

”M-Miyako!”

Kaien's voice of shock was heard as Ukitake waved his hand implying he was ok. Sentaro still went and put his captain's arm over him. They all looked over towards Miyako direction only to see Miyako returning to her original colour. They were all shocked as Kiyone made her way towards her. Kaien moved to the side as Kiyone checked up over Miyako as an astonished look slowly surfaced,

”S-s-she's okay, n-no cuts. She's just unconscious.”
