Hanatarô and Rukia were frozen by the sight of Ganju falling, blood flying. Hell, I was too. Byakuya then turned around to Hanatarô. He obviously saw Captain Kuchiki gearing up for another attack, but either way he was paralyzed from shock. Rukia, however, reacted first by attempting to jump in front of Hanatarô. She was scared too. I thought both of them were going to die. Thankfully, to my relief, Captain Ukitake appeared out of no where, grabbing Captain Kuchiki's arm, preventing his attack. Giving a sigh of relief when he grabbed it. He then said, "... Ho ho... That was scary. I think that's enough, don't you agree, Captain Kuchiki?" He turned to Rukia and said "Oh, Rukia! You've lost weight. How are you feeling?" Byakuya then said something too quiet to hear from where I was. They conversed a bit. Then, suddenly, a huge spiritual pressure appeared. It was like a captain's. Captains Kuchiki and Ukitake were surprised by it too. So were Rukia and Hanatarô. A giant wing appeared from the side of the bridge near Rukia. Rukia stared at it as a figure appeared connected to the wing. But it was impossible. It was that ryoka. Ichigo Kuosaki. But it couldn't be. He had fought Captain Zaraki... And... won...? He landed right in front of Rukia, and walked right past her toward Hanatarô probably catching up on what happened. I could hear him say "I came to save you." Even though, he had a lot of bandages on him, and he had a only recently healed wound on him under his bandages. Rukia continued to stare at him and Ichigo then said, "What are you making that face for? I came to rescue you, so you should be happy!" Rukia then finally spoke something to Ichigo then he responded and turned to look at the two Captains. and stated, "After, I defeat him!" Rukia then came up to say something to Ichigo and he responded again, and then turned around and shouted "I'm not going to listen to what you say, so don't even bother. Idiot!" Rukia looked stunned then responded angrily "What's that supposed to mean? You're ignoring the rescuee's opinions!? What kind of strange rescue attempt is this!?" Ichigo replied, also angry, "SHUT UP!!! You're being rescued, so stop babbling!! You should crouch in the corner, shiver in fear, and scream 'Help! Help!'" Then they stared at each other silently, angrily for a bit, before Rukia started smiling again and said something. Ichigo said some more stuff and then turned to Rukia and stated defiantly, "Don't worry! I won't die yet!" He then began to walk toward Captain Kuchiki, and he walked toward Ichigo. Ichigo said something and then Captain Kuchiki began to give off his spiritual pressure, surprising Ichigo, putting Rukia on her knees, and causing Hanatarô and I to have to support ourselves by holding on to the rail of the bridge. They conversed a bit more, then the spiritual pressure stopped and I could hear Captain Kuchiki say "Don't think too highly of yourself, insignificant scum!!" Then he disappeared, using shunpo. Then, somehow, miraculously, Ichigo predicted where he'd appear and blocked him. Which surprised Captain Kuchiki. Then they jumped back from each other and then Captain Kuchiki raised his zanpakutô and began to say "Scatter," But before he could finish, a figure wrapped something around his zanpakutô, stopping his release.
