Chapter 3
"Go through dammit!" Rin yelled, shoving Rukia through the Senkaimon before blocking a strike from an attacking zanpakuto. Her attacker pushed her through the gate as well, and Rin was sent hurtling towards the ground. She hit it hard.
"S-shit..." She groaned, pushing herself up with her right hand since her left shoulder had been broken after she landed on it.
"Rin! Rukia!" The angey Captain looked up to see the substitute shinigami rushing over. He cradled the smaller woman in his arms, making Rin scowl at the lack of attention. "Rukia, hang in there! What happened?"
"Thanks for being concerned," Rin mumbled to herself, leaning forward with a pained groan.
"Ichigo?" Rukia moaned, opening her eyes. "Don't worry." She reassured him with a tiny smile before closing her eyes and going limp once more.
"Don't give me that! Rukia!" The man looked distressed.
"Cool it, Kurosaki. She's not going to die. Not from those wounds," Rin told him, painstakingly hauling herself to her feet.
"Rin... What the hell happened to you two?" He asked, glancing at the Captain. He froze when a sharp spike of reiatsu pressed on their shoulders, warning them. Carrying Rukia with him, Ichigo disappeared just as a Senkai Gate opened behind him, with Rin following close behind.
Out of the light stepped a woman with white skin, white hair, and wearing a white kimono. When she stepped onto the ground, the grass stiffened and froze, spreading towards Ichigo and the injured women. Using shunpo, they jumped a safe distance away. The teen carefully laid an unconscious Rukia on the ground.
"This reiatsu... It's not a hollow... And it doesn't have a mask or hole."
"Probably because it isn't a hollow, dumbass," Rin snarled irritably, holding her injured arm to her side to prevent it from moving.
"Are you the shinigami on duty here?" The snowy woman asked in a distinctly feminine voice, glancing over at the orange haired soul reaper.
"Don't recognize him? You should be the most familiar with him," the other woman snapped back. Ichigo rose to his feet.
"Who are you, lady?" Rather than answering, the unknown woman sent a swirling beam of snow and ice at them. Ichigo drew his weapon immediately.
"Getsuga Tensho!" He yelled, sending his own beam of energy hurtling at the icy attack. It easily overpowered it, forcing the snowy woman to dodge using shunpo.
"Hand them over to me," she ordered, standing on one of the supports of the nearby bridge. In her hand was a pure white zanpakuto, the very one that Rukia once wielded.
"What?" The man exclaimed, glancing at Rukia and Rin, who was now crouching beside the younger woman. "I don't know who you are, but you can't have either of them!" He held his weapon towards the unknown woman threateningly. She looked down her nose at him.
"I see," she murmured. Suddenly, she was right beside him. "You're the substitute shinigami, aren't you?" She asked. Surprised, Ichigo leapt back to put space between them.
"How'd you know that?" He snarled. In response, the woman waved her sword before her.
"Some No Mai, Tsukishiro." A glowing circled formed with Ichigo in the centre. He dodged just before the ground and air above it froze into solid ice. Before he could react, four white beams of energy formed in front of the snowy woman.
"Tsugi No Mai, Hakuren." She pointed the weapon at Ichigo, sending a huge avalanche of snow was sent hurtling towards him. With a single Getsuga Tensho, the attack was rendered useless. Ichigo then appeared before the woman and swung down, but his weapon only hit the ground. The woman shattered into pieces of ice and reappeared a few feet away. The man turned to face her.
"Who the hell are you?" He demanded to know. "Tsukishiro and Hakuren are both Rukia's attacks!"
"Yes. And therefore, they are mine," the other replied. She then held out her hand in front of her mouth and blew, sending frigid air at Ichigo. He closed his eyes and shielded his face. When he opened his eyes once more, the snowy woman was disappearing into the Senkaimon.
"Wait!" He yelled, but it was too late. "Dammit..." he growled as the doors closed. He then turned and glanced at the two women. "Rin, Rukia!"
Rin was staring at the ground with a blank expression on her face. When the substitute shinigami rushed over, she looked at him with dull, emotionless eyes. Fearing Rukia dead, he fell to his knees.
"Idiot," Rin said, seeing his distress. "I told you she wasn't going to die."
"Rin..." He had never heard her with so little heat in her voice, especially when she was insulting someone. He knew that something had to be wrong. "Who was that? What the hell happened?"
"That was Sode No Shirayuki," Rin muttered. "It is, was, I suppose, the Kuchiki Flower's zanpakuto." She pulled herself to her feet. "You'll have to carry her. We need to go to Kisuke's."
Yoruichi opened the door when she heard knocking. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw Ichigo, Rin, and Rukia, with the latter curled up in the teen's arms. She met Rin's gaze briefly, startled when she saw the hollow look within.
"Rina-chan? What happened?"
"Yoruichi... I'm sorry, I... I couldn't keep your promise..." And then, she fainted into her old friend's arms.

Rin sat bolt upright in her bed.
"Byakuya!" She yelled before crying out in pain and clutching her broken shoulder. Pain racked her body.
"S-shit-!" She muttered, one eye closed from the hurt.
"Rin-sama! Please, you shouldn't be moving, I haven't had time to completely heal your shoulder." Rin turned to gaze at Orihime, who flinched, startled, when she saw the look in her eyes. "R-Rin-sama...?"
"Where am I? Why...?" Her gaze turned downwards. "Son of a bitch, that's right. The zanpakuto..."
"Captain Asaje, you shouldn't be up." A voice came from behind Orihime. It was Rukia.
"I can be up if I want," Rin mumbled, her eyes closing. When she reopened them, there was an orange shield thing over her. So this was the extent of the woman's power. "Did you tell them what happened yet?"
"No, we sent Kon to retrieve them." That's when everyone came in. The lion stuffed animal leading them stopped cold when he saw Rin. The woman flinched when it flung itself at her with a happy yelp, only to be stopped mid lunge when Ichigo slammed him into the floor.
"Leave her alone, she needs to be healed before you be all perverted," he growled before taking his seat. Rin saw his gaze briefly rest on her haori on the floor nearby. "Oi, since when did you become a Captain, Rin?"
"Since forever," the woman snapped. "It doesn't matter now. Where the hell is the rest of my uniform? I need to go back to Soul Society and-"
"Ah, you can't leave yet, Rina-chan~!" Urahara chimed, hiding the bottom half of his face with his fan. "It's been so long since I've been blessed with the opportunity to be an audience to your lovely disposition~!"
"Dumbass, you just saw me not that long ago!" The man paused when she snapped.
"Oh. Well, we still need you to get all healed up at the moment. Why don't you two tell us what happened?" He asked as Orihime helped Rukia sit up.
Rin murmured to the other woman: "You start, Kuchiki." The small woman nodded.
"It was like a nightmare..." She began. Everyone, including Rin, listened with rapt attention as she described Muramasa and how he explained that the zanpakuto had left them. She also explained how Muramasa and the zanpakuto had locked the Head-Captain away because his zanpakuto did not wish to join them. When she started talking about when the fight began, Rin cut in.
"I'll take it from here."
Shunsui landed beside his long time friend, Ukitake. The white haired man glanced at him. "Kyouraku, we need to retreat!"
"Sounds good to me." The men knew when they were outmatched, and most shinigami were in no condition to be fighting at the moment. Those that were in good condition were forced to defend those who weren't. Rin landed in front of them.
"Jyuushiro, who the hell is that guy?"
"I'm sorry, Rina-chan, I'm not exactly sure. I know as much as you. We need to retreat. You're in good fighting condition, you'll help hold back the zanpakuto while we get the injured out of here."
"Hai," the woman said respectfully to the senior Captain. Suddenly, a huge roar made her turn, swords at the ready. Behind them, Kurotsuchi's zanpakuto had released its Bankai. Rin's eyes widened. "What the shit...?"
"My, my... It's going to vomit poison on us," its owner said rather bluntly. Rin rounded on him.
"You bastard! How can you be so casual?" She then turned and cupped one hand around her mouth. "Everyone, run for it! Get the injured away before that thing pukes all over us!"
Suddenly, Renji's Bankai came out from behind Muramasa charging a Baboon Bone Cannon. Rin's eyes widened with horror and she summoned her mask, putting herself between the blast and her allies. She charged her hand and held it out in front of her before being engulfed by the huge blast of energy. More explosions happened all over the Sereitei as the zanpakuto began to wreak havoc. Shinigami screeched in terror, trying to rally enough to fight back. Unfortunately, it was a near impossible task without their Captains or Lieutenants there to inspire them. As far as they knew, they were all dead or seriously injured. Muramasa had done a good job luring those of high rank away. Rukia and Renji, who had escaped to the city part below, ran down a street.
"Dammit!" The red head growled. "They're destroying everything!"
"Do you think everyone's okay?" Rukia murmured.
"I know I am," Rin growled, coming up behind them. Her uniform and haori were ripped from the blast, but she was mostly unscathed. Surprised, the other two stared.
"How are you uninjured? You took that blast head on!" The Lieutenant exclaimed. Rin turned her head, letting him see her mask.
"That bastard Aizen decided that I made a good guinea pig. It comes in handy, lets me deflect blasts like that. I didn't realize your Bankai was that goddamn powerful, though. Burnt my hand enough that I can barely hold my sword." She held up her left hand to show him.
"Right... I suppose now's not the time to be asking questions. What do you know about the other Captains?"
"They all escaped the hill, as far as I know. It's an absolute that they're all alive. Lieutenants, too. I'm not sure if any of them were poisoned though, so they may not be alive for all that long."
All of a sudden, there was a huge explosion that blasted the wall just to their right, narrowly missing them. Another zanpakuto came out of the rubble. He wore the oddest outfit, and was not someone that any of the three recognized. He wore a box on his back and had what looked like a lightning rod in his hand. Behind them came a demon-like, shadowy zanpakuto that reminded Rin of a male version of Akuma. The trio went back to back, with Rin holding one sword and helping Rukia.
"How's your zanpakuto?" Renji asked.
"No good, I can't release it," Rukia answered.
"That makes two of us," Rin growled.
When the zanpakuto lunged, their grips on their swords tightened. The demon zanpakuto suddenly faltered in his charge, shoving his face into Rukia's and catching her off guard. Before Rin could get off a kido spell, he disappeared and his partner showered them with lightning. The older woman frowned. It couldn't be Aika's zanpakuto, she had seen Jinsoku go after his master before she had found Rukia and Renji. All three vanished using shunpo, barely escaping the deadly attack. Rin appeared on top of the wall, while Rukia went higher into the air. The lightning zanpakuto followed her, appearing behind her. She dodged to the side, barely evading the attack. Meanwhile, Renji was battling at top speed with the demon zanpakuto.
"Shit, where are Futago and Akuma? Those cowards should be here fighting me!" The Captain exclaimed, her eyes narrowing. Her distraction caused her to miss the fact that Rukia had fallen onto a nearby roof, dazed and unable to block the coming attack.
"Bakudo #61: Rikujokoro." Six bars of light slammed into the attacker, stopping them cold. It was Byakuya who had cast the spell. Rin appeared beside him.
"Nice save," she remarked. Rukia glanced at them with wide eyes.
"Nii-sama?" Renji appeared beside the small woman as she was getting up.
"Rukia, are you alright?" When he saw that she was, he glanced at the two on the roof nearby.
"Captain?" He questioned, waiting for orders.
"Do not let your guard down," he warned before casting a sidelong glance at his wife. "Especially you, Rin."
"Shut up, you get distracted, too. I'm just worried because I haven't seen my zanpakuto. You know what they're capable of, and that guy leading them probably does, too," she growled.
"I see. I suppose I should have expected as much from Captains." Everyone turned to see Muramasa with Senbonzakura beside him. Rin's own zanpakuto were no where to be seen, making her curse. "After all, you're strong enough to have once enslaved very powerful zanpakuto, the both of you."
As if on cue, Senbonzakura drew his weapon from thin air, which glowed pink before solidifying. He and Byakuya stared at each other, while Rin took a step back. She knew this wasn't her battle. The zanpakuto was challenging his former master.
"My name is Senbonzakura," the masked zanpakuto introduced himself, even though it was clear that Byakuya knew exactly who he was. The noble Captain's gaze flicked to Rin.
"Get Abarai and Rukia away, now," he ordered. Rin narrowed her eyes before using shunpo to appear beside the two.
"I'm sure you heard him," she said. "And he won't be happy if I fail in defending you." She knew that he was protecting her as well as Renji and Rukia. And she was well aware that Senbonzakura would be more powerful than her, especially when she was without her Shikai or Bankai. She hated feeling weak like that, but she knew he would only be distracted if he thought she was in danger.
"Captain Asaje, you can't be serious about leaving Nii-sama to fight his zanpakuto alone! You know how powerful it is, he can't fight it with a single katana, it is foolish!" Rukia protested.
"..." The older woman studied the other. Of course she knew that. "We must go now. He won't die from this. He knows better."
But when Rin turned back to the fight, her heart stopped. She had turned just in time to see Byakuya engulfed by a wave of pink blades. She barely heard Rukia yelling out for her brother as he was slammed through the roof of a small building, which then collapsed. Rin immediately disappeared.
"Byakuya!" She yelled, uncharacteristically scared for the man's life. She was forced to stop when someone attempted to attack her from behind. It was Akuma, who was finally showing her face. Unfortunately, it was at the worst possibly time.
"Ah ha! Can you save your precious boy toy and fight me off at the same time, Rina?" She laughed maniacally.
"Akuma!" Rin roared, landing lightly on a nearby roof. "You bitch, I'll kill you!" She pushed herself off, lunging at the shadowy figure. But then, Akuma disappeared, leaving Rin to land on the same roof Renji and Rukia were on. She looked to the side in horror as Sode No Shirayuki, who had just shown up, pointed her sword at them.
"Tsugi No Mai, Hakuren."
Rin stabbed her zanpakuto into the air, turning it to the side as if unlocking a door.
"Open!" She screeched. Just as the attack was upon them, Rin shoved Rukia, who was closer, through the Senkaimon. When she turned to deflect the attack with her mask, Akuma attacked her and pushed her through as well.
