“KITA!” an loud voice bellowed. Ichigo appeared above them, eyes narrowed with long, long-contained fury. He drew Zangetsu from his back. “I knew it was you, even with that change. Get away from her now, Primera!” As the blades formed in his hands, Kita spun around and threw up her shield, stopping her friend short.
“Kita,” he sputtered, “what are you-“
Kita blinked behind her shield, looking at one of her oldest friends and then suddenly squealed, dropping her shield and grabbing Ichigo’s longer hair.
“Hey! Kita, really, what are you - I mean, are you-”
“OH MY GOD! Look at how you’ve changed!” she exclaimed, hands in his longer, orange hair.
“Um…. Kita….”
Ichigo shook himself and grabbed her wrist before flinging her backwards in Vacanze, his blade reappearing. “Get her out of here!” His dark eyes darkened around the edges as he pointed his blades at Starrk “You’re not going taking her anywhere, so go on back to Aizen.”

Vacanze caught Kita as she spun in his arms to face Ichigo. "Stop it!" Kita yelled at Ichigo as Starrk went to defense mode drawing his guns. She looked quickly to Starrk. "Put them away!" An authoritative tone escaping Kita.
Starrk looked to her, his guns still pointing at the substitute. "I said put them away!" Kita repeated.
Starrk looked at the traitorous Espada as he held on to Kita, one arm wrapped around her waist the other held tight to the hilt of his sword. "Release her first." Starrk demanded of him.
"LIKE HELL!!" Both Ichigo and Vacanze bellowed. Ichigo advancing toward Starrk.
Again Kita's shield went up. This time between Ichigo and Starrk. "I said stop this! We are not here to fight."

Vacanze turned Kita in his grasp, his hand going to her shoulder as he shook her. "Kita what's wrong with you?! He is the enemy!" His hand released her shoulder and cupped her cheek as he looked into her eyes.
He was taken aback by what he saw. His head shook as he let his hand fall from her cheek back to his side. "What happened to that light I fell in love with? What happened to the woman I love?"
Starrk chuckled softly. "Love? You're a Hollow Vacanze. There is no such thing for us. Let alone an emotion. Love or other wise."
Vacanze snapped his look to the Primera, his eyes narrowed and starting to glow a brilliant red as he stepped in front of Kita, tucking her behind him. "That's Aizen talking, you Bastard! We are as capable as any living creature to have feelings like love."
Kita stepped around from behind Vacanze and looked between Ichigo and Starrk. Her head started to shake as she sighed heavily.
"Kita, get back! There is no way in hell I am letting you go anywhere near this prick. Let alone go back to Las Noches with him." Vacanze stepped forward again, brushing past Kita and putting her behind him once more.

“Go, V-man,” Ichigo called over, eyes narrowed as he considered ways around the shield, if need be. “I can handle this guy, with or without shields on Lord Aizen’s orders.”
Vacanze raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure? He's the Prim-”
Ichigo’s reiatsu released like a dark cloud all around his form, swirling around the blades in his hands and spiraling upwards. "It's the Ayakashi who had been tormenting my little sisters and Aizen may come for Eve, who's become quiet and reticent. Finally, there's my promise to Orihime." Lights flickered around them, even though it was daytime. “It’s been many years since he last fought me, V-man,” he stated, tone blunt. “Many years,” he crossed his blades, “with more to protect. If he makes me hurt him, he’s not going back in one piece.”

Starrk yawned scratching the top of his head as he looked to Kita. "Why did you want to see him again? He is rather annoying is you ask me." He looked back to the substitute shaking his head. "We really don't have time for this. I am missing an important part of my day and fighting you in going to be such a bother."
Ichigo narrowed his eyes at him, his powers still growing to amazing levels. "Kid. You do know the Goddess is not going to let you touch me, right?" He looked to Kita again. "If this comes to a fight, my Lady. You owe me."
"I what?!" Kita looked at him with questioning eyes. "This was your idea to come check things out. I told you it was a bad idea."
"Well--Yeah. But it was your idea to find the kid." Starrk replied pointing at Ichigo. "And he brought a friend. So that means I am going to have to kick double the ass. You owe me and Master Ichimaru is just going to have to get over it because tonight, you're sleeping with me."

Kita blinked at him and then waved her hands. “Are you CRAZY?! No! No way, no how. It’s not even been 24 hours after the party with Aizen and Yumiko and you want to challenge him AGAIN!!?!!” she squawked. “No. No no nonono…”
“Stop talking about something I don’t need to know,” Ichigo muttered, silencing the rambling behind him. His larger blade lifted to point straight between Starrk’s amber eyes. “I'm not a kid anymore. And she’s not leaving town this time which means you’re not going to be doing anything to her.”
“Just because of that?” Starrk murmured, still rubbing his head.
“Don’t twist my words,” the Substitute stated. The Espada paused in his thinking. “Seven years we’ve waited for her to come back. And we’re ready. So either you go back to Aizen now or you go down fighting. Make your decision because I am not going to get out of the way and V-man's not letting Kita go. I’ve studied up on you. I know how fast you can move and I know what you could have done to Kita."
Starrk sighed deeply and regarded him from behind the shield.
“Vacanze, get her to the house now.”

Kita tugged against Vacanze when he took hold of her arm to leave. She looked to him with narrowed eyes her tone holding a bite. "I am not going anywhere with you, Vacanze. Nor am I going anywhere with Ichigo if he tries."
She looked from the red headed Espada over to Ichigo as he stood with his reiatsu flared surrounding him like a fortress. She spoke, but not with her voice. With her mind. She just hoped her and Ichigo's connection was still in tact. "Listen to me Ichigo..." When he did not acknowledge her, she sighed heavily trying again concentrating harder on the man she called friend. "Ichi... Please. Please hear me..." Still he did not acknowledge her. She lowered her head tugging away from Vacanze and his hold on her.
Turing she stepped through her shield walking over to Starrk, standing in front of him she looked between Ichigo and Vacanze. "We did not come to fight. We are not here to cause trouble. We came of our own free will. Aizen did not send us and we did not come to cause issues, but if you continue this farce we will have no choice but to capture you and take you back to Las Noches with us."
Starrk scratched his head. "A little early there don't you think Goddess?"
He rested his hand to her shoulder as she looked slightly over her shoulder at him. "We will have no choice in the matter. I won't kill them and I will not allow you to do it either."
Starrk yawned, "Where is the Bat when you need him and why is it you only listen to him and Ichimaru?"
Kita smiled slightly shaking her head. "To hear Ulquiorra tell it, I don't listen to him." Hearing Ichigo growl Kita looked back his way. "I am sorry Ichigo," Her eyes drifting slightly to Vacanze. "It has been seven years. Seven years to date when dusk arrives."
Ichigo's eyes widened and his reiatsu flared out wider. "Damn it, Kita, you can't be helping Aizen with his sick attempt. Don't you know that it will fail again?"
Kita shook her head, but did not answer him. As Starrk chuckled lightly then spoke. "With the Goddess? Do you really think Aizen will fail with the Goddess on his side now?"
"Starrk..." Kita called to him in an ordering tone. She looked back to Ichigo. "Please, Ichi. Just drop your blades." Her head shook. "I don't want to have to hurt you."

Starrk squeezed Kita's shoulder gently but firmly. "Let your shield down, my Lady. If this is what they wants is a fight--" Starrk drew his guns again letting his reiatsu explode around him and the woman in front of him. "Then by damn lets give it to them."
Kita stood in front of him unphased by his increased power level. Her hands were folded in front of her, her blade untouched as it hung at her side. "This will be too easy." Kita replied as she looked on at the Substitute and the red headed Espada.
"Then we can get back in time for you to rest before the real fight begins." Starrk replied with a smirk. "Might get that nap with my favorite pillow after all."

Ichigo sighed and suddenly his reiatsu banked. Both of the men vanished and Ichigo reappeared behind Starrk. In another instant, each of his blades crossed with a gun. “Sorry,” he murmured, dark eyes somber, “I probably don’t understand what’s going on here, but if you keep talking to her like that, I am going to get mad.”
His blades hummed against the metal. “As it is, I have too much riding on this fight to hold back anymore.” Black fire clustered on one of his blades as the other seemed to glow. “I apologize.” He pulled back and black fire erupted from his first blade.
As Starrk and Kita dodged the first blast, Ichigo unleashed the stream of light from the smaller blade, separating Kita and Starrk. He disappeared and his larger sword scratched against the nearest gun, the tip missing the Espada's chest. Eyes narrowing, he slashed with his second blade.

Starrk leaned back the tip of the substitute's blade just scratching his cheek. As the substitute pushed forward bring his other blade around Starrk pushed back to sonido away as an invisible force shoved the substitute back. Ichigo went tumbling across the ground a tree stopping him a few yards away from the Espada.
Starrk turned looking at Kita with a nod a slight smile across his lips when he saw the former Septima forge his bow. "My Lady!" He yelled out at her lifting his gun sending a cero blast forward at the Espada's head.

Vacanze released the arrow as it plunged into the oncoming cero. The cero and the arrow exploded causing the ground to shake and then split. He turned quickly before everything settled forging a new arrow as he raised it against Kita, pointing it directly at the back of her heart as she faced Ichigo still laying on the ground.
His eyes closed his hand trembled, as he softly spoke. "I am sorry, Kita, but I can't let that Bastard destroy you any more than he has."
He released the arrow as it sped toward her. If the arrow succeeded and pierced her heart they could get her out of the there without a fight. At least a fight on her part. Starrk would be an easy target between the two of them to bring him down. He looked quickly toward Ichigo who watched him release the arrow, a slight nod of his head as Ichigo disappeared from view.

"The Order": (Continued) Takai watched the half hearted battle between the Shinigami, the Espada and a human woman. Her reiatsu was strange. Not a Shinigami. Not a hollow.
"Kita Miyamoto." she whispered, bringing her hand to her mouth. "So, this is the goddess."
As Takai motioned with caution, stepping closer to the battle, a hand fell to her shoulder.

His heavy hand rested on is daughter's shoulder. Methuselah shook his head, sighing as he pulled his daughter behind him. "You are no match for her, my daughter. Just watch."
Keeping Takai behind him, Methuselah turned his attention to the fight before him.

Kita turned instantly her palm out as the arrow stopped just centimeters from hitting it. Her eyes were narrowed at the redheaded Espada. Quickly her hand closed into a fist as the arrow shattered, spirit particles exploding around her.
"VACANZE!! She screamed, "You of all people I thought would understand with being an Arrancar!" Her arm dropped to her side as she stepped forward, Ichigo appearing in front of her. He went to grab her as Kita lifted her arm, hitting him across the chest. Ichigo went tumbling again, but this time when he finally stopped, he did not move.
"KITA!! STOP THIS!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT AIZEN DID TO YOU, BUT THIS IS NOT YOU!! YOU WOULD NEVER HARM A FRIEND!!"
Kita continued toward him, "Aizen has done nothing to me. I follow Aizen on my own accord because I know everyone objects to me destroying the humans."
Vacanze's head shook, "NO!! NO I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!! YES YOU HATE THE HUMAN RACE, BUT NEVER. NEVER HAVE YOU WENT TO THIS EXTREME WITH IT. HE HAS BLACKENED YOUR HEART! TURNED YOU FROM THE LIGHT!! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WOMAN I FELL IN LOVE WITH SO MANY YEARS AGO!?"
Kita laughed aloud. "A foolish child that believed in fairy tails. A child that listened to old fools that pounded their truth into her head. Forced her to live their ways." Her eyes narrowed more. "Well no more!! I am following my dreams. My goals, and I will not stop until I have purged the world of the filth that plagues it."

Feeling two new energies around them, Starrk sonido'ed over next to Kita placing his hand to her shoulder once again. "My Lady, we are drawing an audience."
Kita jerked her look around to the Pirmera Espada. Her eyes were glowing a brilliant blue. "Then take care of them. You are the Pirmera, are you not?"
Starrk smirked scratching the back of his head. "Last time I checked. So are you ordering me to kill them?"
"Aizen wants them all dead. What do you think?"
Starrk chuckled lightly, "Well they're not Soul Reapers; they're Quincy."
