Strangely, Kaiba could feel the reiatsu of the others and all but one of the others were acting according to his expectations. Kuatura was engaged in battle and had recently released his sword, the human girl was basically just staying out of the way like she should be. The quincy however seemed to be moving to random spots before moving in no discernible pattern to another location and for the life of him, Kaiba couldn't understand why he didn't just flee, there was nothing he could do here and he doubted the pair of humans would've been able to handle even one of these two together even if they were still at full strength.
Kaiba ignored this and brought his attention back towards the adjuchas who had tossed his huge sword into the sky before changing his stance before catching it and bracing for impact.
Seeing Horus block his kido with the flat of his blade, Kaiba was at a loss for what to do. He had expected the hollow move or for it to hit him. moving quickly while his eyes were blocked by his massive sword, Kaiba began to run towards him again. This time however, seeing as Horus had seen him before Kaiba would reach him. Kaiba started moving to his right, Horus' left since that was the hand he was using to hold his blade unlike previously when he held it in his right.
The hollow started bringing his sword around horizontally just before Kaiba entered striking range, seemingly hoping to keep him at bay with the debris like he had done moments ago. Noticing that Horus' sword hand was in fact not his left and neither was he ambidextrous because the way he swung his sword now, although still powerful was not technically sound. Kicking himself mentally for not going to Horus' weak side and capitalizing immediately on the opening his swordsmanship or lack thereof for the moment would leave. Instead, Kaiba was now faced with a dilemma, but fortunately one that he was prepared to deal with and already had an idea on how to do so.
Rolling under the massive blade just before it would have decapitated him, Kaiba continued his progres towards Horus' left side seeing as his sword was now over to the right giving a more appetizing target, but Kaiba wasn't picky an opening is an opening to him. Coming out of his roll and crouching on one knee, Kaiba thrust his sword aiming for the hollows rib cage.
Whether the stab landed or not, Kaiba planned on using his Ryu Hirameki (dragon shine) technique which would engulf the adjuchas in a column of flame.
ooc- sorry about post length kinda hard to stretch it out anymore than i did.

There was a quick shift of weight and the constant jet like Beatrix went hurtling right past Kuaturas position, it seemed she had seriously underestimated the mobility his unleashed form gave him with that blind charge. Despite the fact that it initially appeared that Kuatura was staying right where he was it was really just a skilled illusion. Indeed it was more like a slow glide down and if he did not stay moving he would eventually hit the ground but years of experience meant that he could stay airborne as long as possible and indeed indefinitely if he put effort into it. He stood at a steep 80 degree incline with both feet on Harut Marut and one hand grasping ones of it's two handles, the free one prepared to cast kido or parry any unforeseen attacks. Jerking tightly on the handle the weapon performed a 180 and then spun to straighten out into a horizontal plane in a horribly fluid movement that would have made anyone but Kuatura nauseas. In doing so he was now staring at the back of Beatrix, instinct would tell most people to use the opportunity to strike but air battles were not as graceful as many believed, once you were moving it was hard to stop but in retrospect getting started in the first place was horribly slow meaning every movement had to be carefully planned despite the fact that to an outsider it probably just looked like two dog fighters trying their best to whack each other with speed.
Thus Kuatura waited until she turned and pulled tightly on the handle as he detected a gust of wind that he could utilize. He prepared another rain of a thousand blades to neutralize any blast she might fire in the charge since he no longer had a blade to easily deflect her and though in dire circumstances Harut Marut could be used as a shield it would throw off any momentum he had built in the process. Harut Marut went catapulting in a circle once before picking up on the gust and flying toward Beatrix while she flew at him in return, she did indeed try to strike him with several of her yellow bolts but they were highly volatile and despite the weakness of Kuaturas kido in comparison it did its job of setting them off before he arrived. When they were within striking distance Kuatura placed his remaining hand on the other handle and ripped the large weapon from underneath him, Beatrix howled as she tried to twist as he brought the blade back and then hurled it at the last moment but there was not enough room. It struck her directly in the chest and sent her reeling, however the shield coupled with the limited distance the weapon had, had to build up speed meant it was the force sending her back and not any actual damage as the bright yellow line across her chest showed. However at this point she was very prone and he launched after her, passing his weapon along the way and grasping it in his left hand as he continued to fall in a steep “landing” angle toward the ground. He eventually caught up with her and it became obvious to him that she did not have backward thrust as she was not stopping on a dime like she had before, she might have had enough to stop the slower descent from before but this rapid fall was too much.
Beatrix saw Kuatura coming for her and was launching yellow burst at him in rapid succession, smaller than those from before but still dangerous, unfortunately the shinigami was neither frightened of the downward descent or slow at reacting and despite one or two pinging off his large weapon he managed to avoid any direct attacks. He was eventually on top of her and grabbed her by the mask kneeling directly on top of her body as to keep her horizontal for as long as he could, as the distance between the ground and them decreased rapidly. She began to try and bite him as he was now beyond her firing range as her arms were a weird shape that did not allow close proximity firing but her head did not have the range at least at this angle either. Now though it was too late to try anything else and she braced herself as Kuatura pushed her head down at the last moment, pushed off her body and went sailing into the air above her as she went slamming into the ground once more, this time kicking up a mighty explosion of dirt that went so high as to encompass the flying Kuatura. He did not let this come to rest though as he raised Harut Marut above him once more before tossing it down toward her in an attempt to deliver another critical, perhaps even fatal blow since the shields effectiveness seemed limited. It felt wrong though, he knew it the moment his blade disappeared from his sight into the dirt and debris, when she had impacted the ground something very wrong had happened and he was now trying to utilize the reiatsu bond between himself and Harut Marut to pull it back but it was not returning. Then with the speed of a jet engine his weapon returned, far faster than he would ever call it back and he was only able to pull back an inch or two before the massive weapon came hurtling past him, cutting a little slice into his upturned chin in the process as it continued for hundreds of feet beyond his control. He had time to look down and see the yellow light forming below him and he grimaced.
“Shit...”
Then the entire sky lit up with a yellow blast not to dissimilar from Horus's cero that came from the ground in a direct 90 degree attack toward Kuatura, encompassing the position he had just been in an instant.
Speaking of the large Hollow Horus he had to admit that he felt the fool for a moment, in a childish mistake he had left himself wide open, not once but twice. He had been amazed when the shinigami had not taken the first opening but unluckily for him the boy had not been so lacking the second time around. He of course tried to retaliate but the boy was within his blind range before he could do so. The poke to the ribs wasn't so bad, it barely penetrated and for Horus it would be an easily repaired wound, it was the follow up that was painful if not deadly. Horus was incinerated in a pillar of fire for a few seconds and though it did no horrible damage and did none to his all important mask it was still painful and a bit annoying. He was not going to let the boy have another chance though as he plunged his “sword” into the ground and (still holding the base of the sword for balance) with great dexterity for such a big guy, if still just as slow as everything else he had done, performed a massive round house kick into the area the boy had been that if it made contact would be nothing short of devastating to such a small creature.

"Eat that you curious George wanna be mother fuck....." Kaiba started as the flames from his attack started dissipating.
Kaiba's stopped his sentence short as he felt that the hollows reiatsu had not vanished as Kaiba had planned. For him to take a hit from that close from Kaiba's dragon shine technique, this hollow was strong indeed. Possibly the strongest Kaiba had ever met. No matter, after that I doubt he's in any condition to fight on. He thought to himself.
He couldn't have been more wrong as the hollow he thought to be incapacitated planted the gargantuan spine he passed off as a sword into the ground and rested his weight on it. More than a little surprised and admittedly impressed by the ape-like hollows stamina and raw strength, Kaiba was almost caught completely off guard by Horus' next move.
Seeing the adjuchas massive leg headed towards the side of his head, Kaiba was at a loss for words, and more importantly a loss of time to dodge his kick. Barely managing to bring his arm up in time to take the brunt of the blow on his forearm, Kaiba felt the hollows leg slip past his guard slightly and connect with his skull with a sickening thud.
Rocketing off unable to do anything to stop his momentum, Kaiba flew through the air for awhile before crashing to the earth and sliding across the surface of the ground creating a trench from where he had first connected with the ground to where he now lay. His sight returning to him as he had almost slipped into unconsciousness from the shin bone he had just taken to his head.
Kaiba's left forearm burned with pain, by some miracle it wasn't broken, at least he didn't think so, but since he could still make a fist he decided to soldier on and forget about it for now, he had much more to worry about right now. For one he had lost sight of Horus in the commotion of being sent flying like a Sammy Sosa corked bat home run. And two he didn't know how many more attacks like that one he could take.
"uuuhhhh.......Shit" The frazzled shinigami said out loud as he brought himself to one knee bringing his sword up horizontally in a defensive position. Kaiba immediately began looking around for Horus, surprisingly he had landed about 30 yards away from the quincy who was kneeling over with his back facing Kaiba. What the....... he began mentally, wondering just what the hell that brat was doing. THE HOLLOW his internal alarm clock reminded him that he wasn't in a position to take his eyes off the prize any longer.
As he bought his eyes forward, Kaiba could see Horus charging towards him. Fuck! this..is gonna hurt he thought to himself as he started thinking of ways to avoid that outcome. Suddenly, Kaiba could see the back of the Quincy who was now in between him and the adjucas.
"YOU FOOL GET OUT OF THE WAY"Yelled Kaiba, more than a little concerned for the humans safety. Is he insane?he asked himself internally watching the next events unfold before him.
`````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` (Daijiro's perspective)
15....10.......5.......NOW The young Quincy counted down the remaining feet between where the hollow was and where Daijiro needed him to be as he ignored the shingamis words and placed the last Seele shneider in position and poured the ginto from one of his silver tubes onto it. A pentagram appeared on the floor connecting the five seele shneiders to the last a smaller pentagram in its center where the hollow stood. When the ginto hit the pommel of the implanted arrow and a huge explosion was triggered immediately causing the surrounding area in a massive flash of white spiritual energy. "Sprenger" The young Quincy called out the name of his attack obviously pleased with himself.

There was really nothing Kuatura could have done at that moment as he no longer had his weapon and the only momentum he had to work with was upwards which did him no good. Just when he was pretty sure he was either doomed or at least in for some horrible, horrible pain he felt someone grapple him and his momentum shift to the side. The wall of yellow had passed him milliseconds later, missing him and his little savior by inches as the ambient reiatsu from it washed over him, he realized how close he had come to biting it and as he looked down to find Sera was the one who had tackled him he couldn't help but be a little grateful even if he still felt she should have run away. The expression on the girls face suggested she thought the same thing even if her mind had taken a different route in the moment of action, she squinted as they fell toward the ground. Kuatura realized quickly that she wasn't near as acrobatic as he was and despite taking him out of the air they were going to hit the ground with a thud any moment and so wrapping his arms around her he spun several times before landing on the ground quite gracefully before planting his feet firmly and releasing her. Sera dropped and just kept her eyes to the ground for the time being, Kuatura returned his gaze to the still clouded area he could still feel Beatrix signature coming from expecting an attack though one did not come. He tried to use this opportunity to locate Harut Marut but it seemed the accursed spirit had been thrown clear of the damned planet or at least thats how it felt as he sensed it nowhere and that was a bad thing...a very bad thing. However for a moment a bit of his humorous side seemed to returned when he noticed Seras conflicting personality traits inside her, obviously not sure why she saved him or if it was the right thing to do.
“Awww see I kneeew you liked me!”
She immediately became flustered and her previous uncertainty just turned back into anger again.
“WHHHHAT?!!!”
“Aw so cute! Thank you for rescuing me!”
“YOU BASTARD...I only did it because...I can't beat someone like that...”
There was obviously despair in her voice and for once Kuatura didn't respond. He might have liked to joke around but personal feelings weren't something you messed with, he understood how humans liked to view themselves and admitting some old dead guy was better than you was probably a difficult thing, especially if she had reservations against shinigami as he imagined her initial responses toward him and Kaiba had suggested. They were not allowed any more thinking time though as Beatrix went active once more and a horrible screech echoed from before them, Kuatura eyes becoming serious and settled on the fading dust cloud once more.
“SSSSHIIINNIIIGGGAAAMMII!!!! I'LL KILL YOU AND THE LITTLE HUMAN HARLOT TOO!!!!”
Penetrating yellow eyes stared both of them down and when the dust clear Kuatura and his little armor theory were proven correct, though he wasn't entirely certain he was happy about the result. Pieces of the triangular armor were still covering the head, her right arm and a portion of the torso but it didn't take much imagination to guess what the rest looked like by what was exposed. The body was slightly human and obviously feminine though it was black with yellow patches and was striped and looked almost oily like the body of a snake. Her exposed arm and legs were both long ending in horribly blade like nails, the arm had a giant gauntlet looking construction attached and it glowed with an odd yellow smoke...Kuatura had a feeling he knew where the last attack had come from. A small slender tail was flicking back and forth in the background, it also appeared snake like though it ended in a massive three pointed spike that opened and closed almost like another arm, she proceeded to “walk” on thin air toward them both.
“But first...her.”
Kuatura had no time to react, it was...amazing. Before he knew it four massive black wings that looked something like the demons of legend spread from her back and his eyes spun toward Sera, Beatrix was on the move and one moment the human girl was there, the next she wasn't. His eyes flickered behind him to find the newly exposed Beatrix standing there, her arm extended and the young human girl already flying a hundred feet away completely unconscious from the strike. Kuatura had no time to worry though as almost as if in slow motion he watched as the armored but now obviously more devious face turned to him, he raised his arms and in a flash pain surged through the front as one of her long drill like collection of fingers pushed through his left hand and tried to continue through to his chest though he pushed outward keeping it from doing so. He was used to pain and the adrenaline kept it from being to bad immediately but it hurt and he knew this was bad, the cannon on her forearm began glowing and he knew he had to move no matter what. He pushed against her despite the fact that, that just made her nails dig in deeper and then with one mighty push he raised his foot and kicked her in the chest and though it was hardly a heavy strike it separated them...he had to find Harut Marut...NOW.
Horus finally took the shinigami by surprise and he planned to capitalize on the moment as he charged the downed foe. However halfway there that little human had showed up, the hollow had almost forgotten the boy and was almost ready to do so again and just stampede over him but several moments later he wished he hadn't. He found himself frozen in place and a massive pentagram began to glow below him, he felt the upsurge of energy and despite his greatest efforts there was nothing he could do when the entire area exploded upon itself in one mighty show of power. The pain did what it always did to Horus, it didn't make him fearful, or doubtful, it made him pissed off. Horus made a good show of tactics and intelligence but the simple fact was when it boiled right down to it Horus was a brawler who just liked to beat the crap out of people. The pain subsided and when the area cleared the massive hollow was covered in scar like burns and smudges but hardly looked seriously injured though he certainly felt a bit stiff...however the near cat like slits for eyes he now bore and the low growl building inside was probably a good sign that the two before him should have run away...quickly. After regaining control he pounded forward in a quick, determined walk, the entire area echoing with his angry footfalls as he approached Daijiro and raised his hand backward.
“INSOLANT BRAT!!!”
Horus let out a mighty roar and struck out with a backhand toward the quincy who having utilized the last bit of his energy made no real attempts to dodge and moments later found himself hurtling thousands of feet and landing who knew where, though likely unconscious by then. Meanwhile Horus completely committed now and not even acknowledging what happened to the boy just kept pounding forward as he now brought his large bone down to the side and dragged it along the ground a bit as he approached Kaiba. As he stood before the shinigami he raised the bone and held it in both hands, a strange reitasu started emanating from the bone though it seemed to cover his entire body.
“I am tired of this...let it be done.”
The energy levels kept building though they weren't quite the explosive soaring levels most of Horus attacks had produced.
“Before this is done, because you have caused me a great deal of annoyance, let me explain the beauty of this so you can truly understand what it is that destroys you. You see unlike so many hollows who gorge themselves I do not feed on every soul I come across. As you may have noticed this is the bone of another hollow, one of my greatest opponents in fact...but it is not just any bone, it is the soul keeper, the point in a hollows body that stores all their spirit energy...these points are always different but this one proves particularly useful. Anyway as it stands it now holds thousands of souls that I have killed with it, and on top of my own strength I can unleash some of that power at any point to decimate everything that stands before me...”
At that his power rocketed and his entire body began to burn with white fire, he let out a loud roar and with speed unfitting of what he had shown up to this point he struck out at Kaiba with another earth shattering down blow as the area shook with both its impact and the disorienting mass of reiatsu that had formed around him.
“FEEL THIS POWER!!!”

(Daijiro's perspective)
Allowing himself a smile, Daijiro was certain that the hollow would be nothing more than dust in the wind as the bright explosion began to die down. When the smoke and dust settled, Daijiro was struck with the site of a singed but very much alive and very pissed off looking adjucas.
With no energy left, Daijiro was helpless to do anything but watch as Horus began coming forward a a brisk walking pace. in truth daijiro did not have any energy left, and was only able to use Sprenger thanks to the actuators attached to the seele Shneiders pommels, thanks to them absorbing energy before a battle Daijiro didn't have to use any of his own strength, which in truth was barely enough to keep him on his feet.
Move, Move, MOVE! Daijiro implored of his limbs as Horus came upon him. With his body not responding anywhere near as fast as he would need to get away, Daijiro was helpless to do anything but watch as Horus raised his arm and smacked him insanely hard with the back of his hand.
“INSOLENT BRAT!!!” Said the beast as he let loose a blow that was by far harder than Daijiro had ever been hit in his life previously up to this point in his young life.
Pain, like an inferno situated only on his face but sending waves of pain shooting throughout his body. speaking of which, Daijiro could feel himself sent flying through the sky as his vision began to fade out , Daijiro once again lost consciousness as his body was being carried by the force of the hollows angered attack.
``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
(Kaiba's perspective)
"NNNOOOOOO!" Screamed Kaiba as he was helpless to stop Horus as he sent the boy sailing through the air. Unable to try and catch him because of the speed in which the Quincy was sent off, Kaiba felt an incredible amount of anger at this moment. Horus began dragging his blade across the ground taking calculated and ominously loud thumping steps toward the still kneeling shinigami.
"You........Bastard"Kaiba spat out venomously through gritted teeth, his anger threatening to come to a boiling point at any moment.
“I am tired of this...let it be done.” The hollow said standing in front of Kaiba as he raised his blade.
A strange reiatsu had begun building in his weapon and began to go throughout his body as well. Not knowing or caring what was going on, Kaiba was lost in his own thoughts and the rage he felt toward this thing. The hollow started explaining about his weapons ability, and although Kaiba was listening, he could care less he wanted to tear this bastards head off.
Kaiba's anger had pushed him to release all his remaining energy at once, his reiatsu raising along with his temper and a loud growl from his opponent seemed to be close to finishing his own power up as well.
"FEEL THIS POWER!!!!" Horus yelled as he brought his blade down, his body ablaze in white reiatsu.
The area around the two fighters shook from the amount of spiritual pressure they were emitting. Horus' blade made contact and the area around formed a large crater and then exploded in bright red flames.
When the flames dissipated, Kaiba could be seen with his sword horizontally parrying Horus'. Both tried to force more pressure on the other, neither giving an inch.
"Feel........THE BURN!" He said as his reiatsu flared along with the adjucas.
Gaining a slight upper hand over his opponent, Kaiba made his way to his feet and took a small jump backwards away from him. before bringing his zanpakutou up and took two quick steps toward his opponent and jumped into the air ,bringing his blade down diagonally aiming to slice through the hollows collar bone and have his blade exit the hollows hip.

A yellow beam of energy struck out across the plane followed by a loud cackle before Beatrix went charging out toward Kuatura who was doing his very best to jump around like a jack rabbit. He learned very quickly that blocking was not the thing to do, the first attempt had ended with a hole in his hand and just moments ago he had tried once more and almost ended up without a hand in the process, thus he had taken the more effective strategy of jumping out of the way at the last second in slow motion for all those people watching since slow motion makes everything better. Still though he had to come up with a plan soon because eventually dodging was going to fail and he could still feel his brother going head to head with the other Hollow so back-up was not going to show anytime soon. On the bright side he had been relieved that after a long period of darkness Seras reiatsu had finally come back to life not to far away so even if she wouldn’t be performing any more heroics she was at least safe…so long as he didn’t go and die, but that was all the reason he needed to win, if he needed one at all. As Beatrix charged him once more he was almost taken back when her tail suddenly appeared over her shoulder and struck out at him requiring a quick jerk backwards as the sharp “hand” on the end of her tail clasped down on empty air where his face had been moments before. He had no way to move though when her arm cannons began glowing a bright yellow and was sent flying across the clearing, tumbling across the ground upon the energies impact with him…luckily Beatrix had given up on the powerful strikes that he had easily dodged before so while painful and causing burns these strikes were hardly fatal or even severe.
“Dammit” Kuatura mumbled as his view of the darkening sky flipped over and over before him.
He eventually pulled himself out of the tumble by placing his right hand which had not been injured on the ground and utilizing the friction flipped to his feet, stabilizing himself he then came to rest several dozen feet from the constantly charging Beatrix. He was about to dodge again when he felt a familiar energy and with no time to think he instinctively tugged at the reiatsu strings that connected him and his blade. Beatrix was upon him once more when with just as much speed as it had left Harut Marut came from behind Kuatura and he actually had to jump into the air to dodge it, seeming surprised himself as if the blade was not under his control at that point. Beatrix had no time to react as it slammed into her head first and what was left of her armor shattered and white energy went spilling out from below before sending her flying backward. Eventually she and Harut Marut separated and the blade performed a circle in the air before charging back toward Kuatura in what almost seemed to be anger, he had to dodge to the side once more and grab one of the quickly spinning handles, nearly ripping his arm with it’s speed. The moment he grabbed it he felt the eerie presence of the soul version of Harut Marut and could almost feel the creepy yellow eyes of the “Seeing one” pressed against the back of his head, he then heard the raspy voice of the “Speaking one”.
Accursed boy, do not let us be disrespected so…you are lucky we are forgiving unlike so many other spirits…do NOT let it happen again…
Kuatura just nodded, he knew they were not joking but as was often the case with exchanges with Harut Marut there was just no way to speak to it like it was a normal person so he stayed silent. With this silent recognition the anger the blade seemed to hold diminished and it came back under Kuaturas control. Across the field in the long ditch which Beatrix landing had caused he could see her long tail flickering about in anger and after a period of waiting she finally stood once more with her back to him, a good bit of white soul energy seemed to be burning off into the air from the front of her body but after a few seconds it seemed she slowed the rate at which it was being lost and then turned to face him once more. Now that all the armor was gone one could see her other arm was the same as the first with a large gauntlet cannon on top. Her face was almost alien in nature with a slender machine like structure and demonic slits for eyes, two massive angular structures stuck out the back looking like some sort of triangular geometric horns. She bore a massive wound from the top of her chest all the way up her face but from the blind rage her movements and reiatsu were suggesting it might have been a good hit but it had also angered her…allot…Kuatura took a defensive stance with Harut Marut raised like a shield.
Across the way Kuatura could feel his brother Kaiba activate a reserve of power he rarely tapped into, maybe they had underestimated both of the hollows after all.
Horus’s power just kept growing but he had underestimated Kaibas power as well though he showed no surprise in his eyes when his attack was blocked, just more conviction to get the job done. Eventually the boy parried the blow long enough to slide off of the bone and jump backward causing the downward force Horus was producing to slam his bone into the ground creating a symmetrical circle that was obviously made not just by the huge weight of the weapon and force but by a reiatsu concussion itself. Kaiba went to make a vicious strike for Horus but with his increased power came an increased dexterity with his weapon and without having to build up speed again he just whipped the bone upwards. The blow wouldn’t be particularly devastating to Kaiba but it would get in his way and stop the attack. What might be dangerous though was how Horus bone began to glow. Moments later it unleashed a short but potent blast of concentrated reiatsu that seemed to possess a gravity distorting effect that created a twisting visual effect if one were to look directly at it but more importantly would likely crush anyone hit directly and send anyone nearby plummeting into the ground, the same effect was applied to him but since he didn’t move much as it was this would not cause as many complications on his part.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHh" yelled the shinigami as his blade met with that of Horus' .
A wave of energy went through the surrounding area from the power of their weapons colliding with one another. Horus' sword began to glow, releasing a small blast of reiatsu, Kaiba used his arm strength to push off of his sword using Horus' as balance to take himself backwards and up into the air once again. The blast passing by him directly in front of his face, Kaiba couldn't help but feel the disorienting effects that this strange attack seemed to have on him. Trying to look away but not quite in time, Kaiba felt as if he was wearing a led suit forcing him to the ground. creating a small crater where he hit the ground, still on his feet but also still trying to fight off the disorienting effects of the strange attack on him. shaking his head trying to shake off the dizziness, Kaiba leapt backwards blindly trying to escape the adjucas wrath while he was temporarily prone to attack. Finding that it was much harder to jump away, or for that matter even to move. Trying to figure out what was going on and at the same time thinking of stratagem to take down this hollow, Kaiba was pretty much clueless as to how to do so at the moment.
He's at least as powerful as me, maybe even more so physical strength he has the advantage for sure, I've been straining myself just parrying his heavy blows. i have a speed advantage but since he released the energy from that blade It's not as big of a difference as it once was.and i don't want to chance leaving myself depleted in case "that" doesn't work.Guess speed it is. He finished his thoughts.
"DO IT, DO IT NOW KILL THEM ALL! BURN ALL OF THEM TO ASHES". A familiar female voice rang out to him in its traditionally sadistic manner.
Shut it Kaen! I was doing just fine. And i keep telling you, I ONLY KILL HOLLOWS! Kaiba responded to his murderous zanpakutou telepathically.
Returning his attention to the hollow in front of him, and feeling the effects of the added weight on him from Horus' attack wear off a little. Kaiba extended his index and middle fingers towards the adjucas, Kaiba released a shot of white lightning aimed directly for his mask, directly after, Kaiba made his move.
Running full out to Horus' left side where he had pierced his ribs earlier, passing it and making his way behind Horus, Kaiba planned to run his zanpakutou Horus' back while he was pre-occupied with blocking the kido blast.

Beatrix impacted Harut Marut, not seeming to care that it was an obviously futile strike but that didn’t stop it from being to powerful to counter, requiring Kuatura keep all his strength behind the weapon to insure it did not tip and kept him protected. It was about halfway through the push that he looked up in time to spot her trying to work her tail over the defense and clip him once more. He thought about his options for a moment and then with no more time to think had to develop a very dangerous, highly unreliable but very deadly concept that he prayed would do its job and he thrust his hand upward. The tail claw began trying to grab his arm and struck out like a snake several times, he kept moving it back and forth trying to grab the tail at the base of the claw on its end and after significant effort and area covered as they continued sliding he finally got it. He pulled downward as hard as he could still holding Harut Marut in his bad hand, it was not easy but he couldn’t have put the proper weight needed had he done it the other way. Beatrix began to realize things were not going her way and started trying to pry her whole body around the shield and so Kuatura with no more time to plan it out pushed the tail all the way to the ground and then brought Harut Marut up just enough to be above it, jabbing it into the tail from above, Beatrix let out a scream and Kuatura started to shift his weight.
“DIE DIE DIE!!!” Beatrix continued screaming.
Kuatura felt hit after hit pound Harut Marut and the yellow flashes suggested Beatrix was becoming quite ferocious in her blasting despite that those attacks would never penetrate the weapon.
“Sod off…” he whispered.
He slid downward almost like a baseball runner and with her tail wrapped around Harut Marut and pinned at the bottom Beatrix was pulled along as they began moving in a clockwise direction. The duo fell into a very quick spin and around the third time Kuatura planted his foot into the ground and then threw all his weight into pushing Harut Marut, Beatrix detached and went flying forward with great speed. Kuatura planted his feet once more and brought his weapon to bear as even if Beatrix was out of control herself she was still facing him as she flew away and was firing ceaselessly, he deflected several strikes and then took off after her spinning Harut Marut and ignoring the final few blows as they flew past him, intent on using an opening he saw coming. Beatrix obviously picking up on this reaction took a quick glimpse over her shoulder and instantly started trying to use her wings to stop herself but her speed was too great, they had covered more distance in the battle than either had realized…and she was just about to crash into Horus.
The large Hollow was really at a loss, he had plenty of endurance left and thousands of souls in the bone but in all honesty he could not change the strength or frequency of the attacks any more than he already had. It came to him then that for the first time in a long time this was a battle where his endurance would have to best his opponent, a battle of attrition. About this time Kaiba launched his blast of lightning and Horus as expected went to block it with the bone, he was not however as surprised by his opponents next actions as Kaiba had probably been hoping and began to spin as the boy came down to strike him. However he had not been quite fast enough and while he avoided the fatal strike Kaiba had been going for he still received a painful slash to his left arm that for the first time ended up releasing white spirit particles into the air, it was far from the gushing you might hope for but it was the first true sign of damage Horus showed and he let out a roar to accompany it that was nothing short of deafening. He turned to strike Kaiba down but no sooner had he given a good look than his eyes grew wide and he went to block, just succeeding when Beatrix came flying on to the scene and slammed into his block with great power. The smaller hollow went flipping over the larger ones head and skidded to a stop not far behind while Horus lost his balance and had to topple to one knee to keep from going completely prone, he began regaining balance but it was the perfect opportunity. It was not long after that Kuatura came racing past Kaiba, still spinning Harut Marut and obviously preparing to assault the open hollows as he yelled to his brother without actually looking.
“MISS ME?!!!”

His plan had worked, Making his way behind the hulking form of the adjucas, Kaiba almost let himself become hopeful that this would finish the beast. That this fight would be over and he could go and help that Quincy boy before the extremely faint and erratic reiatsu of his ceased to exist. After risking his life like that in fornt of and possibly even for Kaiba, he would do everything in his power to try and return the favor. Thrusting his blade forward, Kaiba's eyes widened as Horus turned around in time to dodge the fatal strike and evade any critical damage. Instead, Kaiba's blade tore into the hollow's left arm.
Seeing the trail of energy streaming from the wound, however minute was a triumph in Kaiba's eyes. For the first time in this fight, he felt as though he was taking the advantage instead of being stuck at a stalemate. The unmistakable growl of pain accompanying the slash was icing on the cake. Horus's roar was almost loud enough that Kaiba thought he could hear nearby windows in the nearby houses and buildings shatter.
"How's that you sack of shit?" Kaiba began taunting his opponent , hoping his words on top of the hollows fresh wound and inability to overcome him thus far would coax him into making a mistake that the shinigami could capatalize on.
"Come on, Bring........What the?" He said finnaly noticing the other hollow.
The creature his brother had been fighting crashed in to his ape-like opponent who noticed her coming just after he did barely managed to put up a block before his partner, looking quite different than the last time he had seen her knocked him to his knee's. seeing his brother rush past him spinning his zanpakutou broke him out of his bewilderment, last he had checked Kuatura had been fighting quite some distance away from where they were presently.
“MISS ME?!!!” asked Kaiba's sibling preparing an attack. Taking his brothers queue without saying a word. They have been fighting alongside each other for many years. neither man needed to tell the other what he planned to do, there was rarely an occasion or situation that they couldn't predict what the other would do. Seizing his opportunity, Kaiba ran to take a position directly in between the two downed hollows before raising his sword into a high position, holding it with two hands. The silver haired shinigami prepared a second dragon shine technique. Raising his reiatsu as high as he could, random flames shooting in different directions at random times before he released his attack.
"Ryu Hirameki" Kaiba called out as the column of flames enveloped him and the two hollows.
Waiting for his brothers addition to the attack, Kaiba the thought that Kaiba could've been wrong and possibly should've said something to the effect of what he had planned crossed his mind. Although they had worked in tandem before, when so much was on the line, it was only natural for Kaiba to question if what he was doing was the right decision. Believing in his brother as an adept and intuitive warrior, although he didn't appear that way to people if you haven't gotten to know him. Kaiba let a smirk come to his face as he put his faith in Kuatura and poured every ounce of reiatsu he had available into his dragon shine technique.

For the first time since this fight had started Kuatura felt as if he had the upper hand, in that for once he wasn’t prone and he had a much better chance instead of meeting blow for blow. Still he couldn’t let his thoughts stray to long and he was glad to see his brother had picked up on his silent plan, sure they understood each other but Kuatura was never sure that Kaiba thought out every situation as tactically as he did…probably because he knew he didn’t, but in this situation they were thinking along the same lines. As Kaiba ran below him, darting around Horus as the hollow pushed back into a fighting position but was still quite disoriented after having his smaller but still quite heavy teammate slammed into his head, Kuatura threw Harut Marut into the air and jumped aboard. He utilized the sudden air current caused by the pressure between the ground and the weapon to go flying above the Hollows head. He ended up only about fifty feet in the air but he knew as soon as he saw his brothers Zanpaktou flared up it was done, it would burn the hollows but now Kuatura would cook them thoroughly and he started to apply pressure so that the blade started to slowly build up speed into a spin.
“And a one…and a two…and…shit I probably shouldn’t have eaten those tacos.” He observed a little too late.
Harut Marut was picking up speed and the world was already becoming a blur as he continued to shift his weight spinning the blade faster, the first flames started passing him, getting caught in the up swell he was creating in the process. Kuatura made sure to stay on the covered parts of the blade because the metal would be red hot by the end. Below the flames were already scorching the hollows but slowly they were beginning to turn as high above the Harut Marut was now spinning at near jet turbine speeds and Kuatura was starting to wonder why he had, had the bagel earlier as well. The twister was really starting to take shape now and though below the distance one could see was minimal they might catch a chunk or two of burning hollow skin flaking off in the winds. Eventually when a proper speed had been reached Kuatura grabbed a handle and prepared for something he was looking forward to even less than spinning a hundred billion times, with one gut wrenching twist he pulled up on the blade causing its cutting momentum to fail immediately (as well as what ever control he had over his innards as he suppressed what could only be doom incarnate surging through his stomach) and the blade started to careen straight into the sinter of the flames. The sudden release of the pressure caused the flames to shoot skyward and burn anything below like a flame thrower, only by staying behind Harut Marut did Kuatura manage not to burn alive. He slammed into the ground not far from his brother just as the flames were lifting and got off the blade rolling on to the ground and groaning a few times before forcing his urges back under control and getting to his feet. As a unique note the flames had actually been so hot that some of the ground had crystallized into natural glass but luckily it was not everywhere.
However what he observed when he got up was enough to make him forget about how sick he was or the cool effects of the move on his surroundings. Beatrix sat motionless where she had landed moments before but was now completely charred a deep black on the outside and some of her sky, specifically the “armor” portions, were even blowing off in fire scorched ash. Horus had collapsed on to his hands though he was motionless as well and while he looked significantly less damaged there were still some burn marks and the area around where Kaiba had cut him earlier had received significant scorching from the inside. Kuatura was just about to congratulate his brother as he turned toward him when he heard an eerie growling and the sound of stiff but very definite movement sounded out behind him. Kuaturas face was a mixture of something between annoyance and feeling sorry for himself, he pointed over his shoulder and looked at Kaiba.
“He’s standing up isn’t he…?”
Indeed Horus was getting to his feet and while he initially seemed disoriented it did not take him long to turn around and face the two brothers. His attention was vague for a moment as he scanned and found Beatrix burning husk and then with all the fury he had, had before plus a few times more his eyes focused on the brothers. This time he said nothing, he took the bone which he had never dropped in both hands and he growled loudly as a crack began to form down its center, there was an onrush of reiatsu, more than either of the brothers had likely ever experienced the offensive end of before but it was suddenly silenced…all of it…instantly. Kuatura was not sure where it had come from but there was a flash of orange and then an elegantly robed figure, with autumn colored linens, bear skin boots, a large brown fur coat and golden necklaces looped around its neck landed on top of the bone right where it had been cracking and it sealed instantly, the reiatsu along with it. While no amazing power came from this figure the way a hush had fallen over the area, even the wind itself and ambient sounds of the city, and Horus’s anger seem to be quelled immediately suggested something very bad had just appeared.
“Horus…it is ok.”
A young mans voice came from the figure and now as the area cleared despite the dim light his features were clear, a young adult who was oddly not to different in appearance to Kuatura with short, pushed back brown hair, a tanned angular face and a good build. His yellow eyes and a single white spike attached to his cheek marked him as something completely different though and Kuatura took a gulp, he didn’t know who he was but there was one thing that was certain despite its lack of the typical attire that graced the species…this was an Arrancar. However he didn’t give off the doom like reiatsu he had heard others did and the kindness in his voice before seemed unnatural but there was no time to admire this as he launched over Kuaturas shoulder with frightening speed actually placing his foot on his shoulder to launch off over him, he didn’t even have time to prepare for an attack and was lucky that the man had continued past to stand over Beatrix’s form instead of attack him.
“Beatrix, are you alright as well?”
There was a long silence.
“Oh how long are you planning to act the fair maiden in need of help?”
He sounded amused and after a few seconds there was movement and despite her through burns and damage Beatrix rose to a sitting position. She gave a quick look up to the man and despite her usually fiery temper she just looked down, something like shame coming across. Despite the fact most people would have taken that to be a sign of defeat Kuatura couldn’t be happy knowing both of the hollows had survived, damaged perhaps…but his faith in his own ability in this situation was dwindling. Then something caught him off guard.
“I’m sorry.”
When Kuatura finally realized where the voice had come from his libido did double flips in confusion. Beatrix the girl who this whole time had launched after him while cackling like some manic psychopathic witch had just spoken in what at any other point could have been mistaken for a naïve little school girl…while his brain did back flips over this fact the newly arrived figure bent down and grabbed her and she wrapped her arms around him like some sort of injured child and laid her head on his shoulder, he stood back up and turned toward Horus.
“We are going back.”
“Yes General.” Horus responded.
The man who had now been confirmed as the General looked at Kuatura and Kaiba.
“You caused some issues today Shinigami, but nothing permanent, we will continue our work and you will simply have to give up your search when you never find us again. I would normally kill you for what has been done but we have injuries to tend to and fallen ones to mourn.”
A massive orange portal like the color of the sun opened up behind Horus and a smaller one behind Beatrix and the General formed as well. They were something like the gates to Hueco Mundo but carried a different color as well as aura, not feeling nearly as empty and foreboding as those abysmal hell holes. Equally strange was a soft but noticeable tune being played on a guitar far away somewhere within the portal. Kuatura knew what was about to happen and without much thought into the matter raced toward the General but the man pushed down with one foot and rocketed through, the portal closing immediately as Kuatura launched through what was now just air. He turned around just in time to watch as even the large Horus made a retreat and the bright portal closed quickly, then it was just him and his brother standing together in the destroyed plain which was now covered by a night sky. A single gust of wind carried across and after a long period, when Kuatura had finally had time to digest what had just happened he started walking off down the field and said without looking at his brother:
“I’m going to go pick up the girl. Go get the boy…then we can talk…”

The flames from Kaibas attack raged on as the shinigami stood in the center of the inferno. Watching as the two hollows were enveloped in the blaze, Kaiba didn't have to wait long to see if he was right about his brother reading his actions. The slight increase in the rotation and intensity of the fire let Kaiba know his brother had made the right call. The attack continued build in strength as Kuatura's velocity increased. The fire taking on what looked to be a giant tornado of flame burned at an incredibly high temperature, Kaiba could make out what looked to be pieces of burnt skin no longer see his opponents but by feeling their reiatsu knew they hadn't moved. As his brother reached his maximum speed, Kaiba braced himself for what was to come. The red aura provided by his zanpakutou covering and protecting him from being burn to a crisp intensified as the flame's spin was abruptly halted causing an enormous back draft. The hollows, presumably already scorched were now exposed to temperatures twice as hot as those previously. The flames shot into the sky Before fading into nothingness Kaiba heard his brother crash into the ground behind him. Turning to the sight of a red hot and glowing Harut Marut, Kaiba was glad to see that Kuatura wasn't caught in the fire himself as his brother made his way to his feet groaning as he did so. The surrounding area was scorched and blackened and where the attack burned hottest the earth had been changed into natural glass. Studying his brothers face, Kaiba could see that something was wrong. “He’s standing up isn’t he…?” Asked Kuatura. Whirling around, Kaiba looked at the blackened forms of their opponents.His brothers opponent seemed to be down for the count but Horus was dragging himself to his feet. The brothers watched as the large hollow scanned the area until his eyes settled on his injured partner. without a word spoken, Kaiba could clearly see the absolute rage that resided withing the hateful stare of the adjucas. Horus raised his massive weapon after turning to face the two shinigami. "Oh fuck" Kaiba managed to sputter out. With a deep growl, Horus' weapon formed a crack down the center. The reiatsu forming in it was more than enough to make Kaiba doubt his ability to survive a conflict at this point, bu the shinigami rallied himself and prepared for whatever was to come next. Suddenly there was a flash of orange and a man in robes was now on the battlefield, more to the point standing on the adjucas blade. The crack in Horus' sword sealed immediately the reiatsu vanishing along with it. Judging from his appearance, Kaiba realized this must be the general Horus and Beatrix had mentioned earlier. Although the mans reiatsu was nothing special, the new arrival seemed to demand respect. Even the large ape-like adjuca didn't question the man and seemed to be calming down. “Horus…it is ok.” said the elegantly dressed man with a youthful voice. Taking in the mans features, Kaiba felt a cold chill run down his spine. Although he hadn't run into one before, the shinigami could tell right away this man was an arrancar. Across the way, it seems his brother came to the same realization as a barely audible gulp escaped his throat. Knowing that this man was far too much for the two of them to handle in their current condition, Kaiba started to think of exit strategies. None very appealing or plausible. Seeing the general vault over his brother and make his way over to the downed hollow his brother had fought, Kaiba was bewildered the man was talking to her as if she hadn't been encased in a wall of flames just seconds ago. thinking her to be on her way out of this world, Kaiba was further confused a few seconds later as the charred fighter brought herself to a sitting position. Without being in range to hear the entire conversation, Kaiba thought that the two looked to be sharing jokes with each other. What the hell is going on??? How are they both still alive who are these people? doesn't matter now, were fucked. he thought to himself. “We are going back.” said the general baffling the silver haired shinigami. WHAT? DID I HEAR HIM RIGHT?? “Yes General.” Horus responded. confirming Kaiba's estimation of his identity and answering his unspoken question. The man in question turned to face the pair looking from one to the other as he spoke. “You caused some issues today Shinigami, but nothing permanent, we will continue our work and you will simply have to give up your search when you never find us again. I would normally kill you for what has been done but we have injuries to tend to and fallen ones to mourn.” said the general making Kaiba hold his tongue lest he say something that would make the trio stay to finish the battle. Portals began opening up behind the hollows, these portals were nothing like anything Kaiba had seen before, orange in color and void of the feeling of foreboding the others he had seen gave off. Also puzzling was the soft tune playing from just beyond the opening. Seeing his brother who was closest to the portals take off running was all he needed to snap him out of his thoughts and take off after him. Arriving a few seconds too late,Kaiba watched as his brother got a face full of dirt attempting to make it in time and they were left alone in the barren surroundings. “I’m going to go pick up the girl. Go get the boy…then we can talk…” His brother said to him. Given their situation, Kaiba decided to let his brothers order even though he was a lower rank go without correction. Looking in the direction the Quincy was sent, Kaiba breathed a sigh of relief as he felt that the energy signal had stabilized It took a long time to make his way over to the boy considering how far the hollow had thrown him. Daijiro was still unconscious but his reiatsu told the shinigami that he would be fine once he was rested and his powers returned to him. Hefting the boy over his shoulders, Kaiba made his way over to where Kuatura and the human girl were waiting. "This one is fine, just needs some rest. How is she doing?"

Bending down to Sera who Kuatura had just reached he checked where Beatrix had struck her. He had already been surprised that the girl seemed to be stable but upon checking the wound he was truly amazed. She hadn't exactly done as well as a full fledged shinigami might have but somehow, despite Beatrix actually moving to fast for Kuatura to keep up with in her initial burst the girl had managed to right her zanpaktou and deflect the piercing portion of the strike even if the weight and force had sent her flying. Kuatura picked her zanpaktou up from next to her and looked it over for a moment before he reached down and picked the girl up by the back of her armor since she had flipped several times before coming to rest. He sheathed the blade in the home made sash she had strapped around her and then after cradling her in his arms once more walked back to meet his brother, after judging his brother and the boys condition he replied to Kaibas questions.
“I think shes better off than any of the rest of us to be honest...more from overexertion than anything else, much better than he got off at any rate” he said suggesting the Quincy.
He gave a quick look around his surroundings, they had really done a number to the place, a massive portion of the field had been burned or torn up and the area directly around where Horus had been was nothing short of a massive crater filled hole. High above with the lights of the battle gone and the dust settled the stars that had come out upon the suns sinking could be made out brightly. The same could be said about the ambient noise of the area, as the “shell-shock” effect wore off loud noises and music could be heard on top of the already noisy city life showing that the party that everyone in the streets had been preparing for earlier must have been in full swing and realized this was likely what they had to thank for not putting more civilians in the way...he wondered just how long they had been fighting, he hadn't really thought about it till now. A cool breeze washed over the area and for the first time Kuatura was reminded it was late in the year and the winter weather was on its onset, it made no difference to him but it might to the duo they were now carting around. He turned his attention back to his brother bearing his more typical smile.
“Well after they lived through that I'd feel just awful if they died from pneumonia or something, why don't we find a sheltered area? Can't just drop them off anywhere and even if we knew where they lived I doubt any human companions they might have would be terribly happy watching either shinigami or invisible ghost carrying them about whichever way it went.”
Whatever his brothers response had been he waited until they were on the move again to let his thoughts wander once more. After a few footsteps into the dark he said in a more serious tone without looking toward his brother.
“Once we get them somewhere I will call the situation in...though seeing as we were the backup in the first place I doubt they will be much help, still, will want to know what happened.”
He then turned his face toward him losing the intensity he held before and made a prying joke at his brothers obvious feelings to Kuaturas nonchalant way of considering Kaibas ranking “superiority”.
“Any pearls of wisdom our great leader has regarding our current circumstances?”

“Any pearls of wisdom our great leader has regarding our current circumstances?”
Hearing his brothers remark, Kaiba seethed inwardly. Normally something like that would be proceeded by a fight between the two, but as it was now, Kaiba's mind was still grasping what had happened just moments ago the battle between him and horus bothered him, he had fought adjucas before but never one so powerful, the shinigami wasnt sure that if the general ahdn't stepped in that he would still be alive.
giving the girl a quick once over of his own, Kaiba had to agree with his brothers assessment. The small woman looked to be exhausted and was sleeping at the moment. The Quincy was as well, but Kaiba wasn't sure if any internal damage was there, since he had no medical training other than very basic first-aid he'd have to wait for Daijiro to wake up and see how he felt.
As much as he hated to admit it, his brother was right. the night was chilly and although since being a spirit it had little effect on him, the humans in such weakened conditions needed to be somewhere warm. Looking around the damaged area, Kaiba located a small building somewhat nearby. They would have to carry the humans and being so low on reiatsu at the moment it would be on foot and longer than he would like to reach it, meaning they would have to get going now.
"See that building over there? thats our destination. we'll settle there until we hear from SS grab the girl let's get going" he said hefting the boy onto his shoulder and heading in the direction of the building.
The building in question was a run down four story brown brick building, it seemed outdated and out of place, dwarfed by the massive buildings of the area. Kaiba chose this building since it seemed to be abandoned. Whether it was or not was yet to be seen. the boy's weight although not much was much more noticeable than when he had arrived on the scene at first, Kaiba was worn out as well he needed to rest, he had used up a lot of his reiatsu with his attacks and was now paying the price for it.
When the quartet reached the building, Kaiba could see that it was even more run down than he thought, strange that a building like this would be in this area. It was probably slated for demolition, the shinigami thought it should be anyways. layers of dust covered everything, chunks of broken drywall lay about along with smashed brick here and there giving the location that squalid hellhole quality one looks for on there honeymoon. well if you wanted to carry your bride over a decrepit threshold and consumate for on looking rodents. Before his brother could say anything about the conditions, Kaiba spoke.
"I know this place is a shit hole so don't start, I'm too tired and this kid's getting heavy. Call SS and see what they say about reinforcements and a medic for your hand and these two, Shit my forearm is pretty bad too. If it weren't for my gauntlets it probably woulda shattered. As it is now, it should be fine but the fucking thing smarts, the guy i fought kicked like a fucking mule. There was something really strange about that one he.........."
Kaiba went on to explain his opponents strengths and weaknesses since he was still alive it was very possible that they or other shinigami would run into him and his partner, another reason for this, is that seeing Kuatura injured even if not critically was rare. His opponent must've been exceptional as well and was hoping for a debriefing. If his brother didn't clue in which was unlikely but if so he would ask him formally as his superior. He always got a kick out of that. Back when they were alive it was Kuatura was the one in charge even though they were close in age but since coming to soul society all that had changed, he had gone first and had established himself before reuniting with his now visibly older brother in the afterlife as his superior.

Despite everything that had happened Kuatura was still pretty convinced this would be an awesome place to go if there weren't murderous Hollows running around and all, it had been far to long since he had been to the real world. He knew Kaiba had taken notice of his hand but to be honest Kuatura had endured a hundred times worse in life and in death so he barely even noticed it, it fact he was still moving it and using it to hold the girl. As they approached the building Kuatura wasn't really expecting anything better despite his brother assuming he would have something sarcastic to say, after all he had already pointed out somewhere with fewer people was better. Kuatura listened to his brother, and rather than give him the chance to try and pull out the “superior” stops he loved so much as he knew Kaiba would he instead just responded.
“She was fast...” he the proceeded to give a rundown of his fight just as his brother had.
Meanwhile he had taken the time to find a giant concrete slab on the floor, it wasn't exactly a bed but it was elevated above the filthy ground. He laid Sera there being careful to remove her zanpaktou from her back once more and set it on his back next to Harut Marut and what had been left of Imaras blade. He was still speaking without actually looking at his brother, he obviously had the ability to think about multiple things at once as his brother should have known by now and what he was saying was just being pulled from the top of his head, his real thoughts were elsewhere. He had to admit the girl was cute and she had saved him but the fact that she seemed particularly aggravated by the presence of Shinigami as well as her blade kept pushing on the back of his mind...he would think about it later. Right now after thinking that she looked pretty young and innocent as she laid down there unconscious he couldn't believe that this girl and that boy had taken down a Adjucha before they had got there...even if it had been weaker...Kaiba and he had sensed it beforehand but only now did he have the time to consider the implications of that fact. After a period of reflection he turned around, there were obvious signs the building had been used by squatters before, the least of which were several barrels laying about and a grocery cart in the corner but that was of little worry to two shinigami.
“So thats how it went.”
He finished his story and had been walking over to one of the barrels, he gave it a swift kick toward Kaiba where it spun on its end for several revolutions before coming to a stop.
“How about a light?” Kuatura said.
The look on his face said he realized how corny that sounded moments after it came out of his mouth but he made no attempt to cover it up.
“I'm going to call Soul Society now...watch them.”
He pulled out a phone from one of the pockets sewn into the inside of his jacket and then walked to the other end of the dark room. He flipped the phone up and raised it to his ear and stated his name, rank and location. For the next minute or two there was some mumbling and at one point Kuatura seemed agitated but as usual he calmed down and just closed the phone before walking back to his brother while shaking his head.
“It's a no go. They say we ARE supposed to be the backup and that it 'Sounds as if more forward attempts would be useless seeing as they have retreated'. Bah, fools, they also said that fourth squad has better things to do than care for two humans soooo I take it we are pretty much on our own here...I get the feeling that they may order us out if things don't pick up pretty soon as well.”

his brother began running down the details of his fight with beatrix. Kaiba was impressed, not by Kuatura Kaiba knew his brother was strong but the fact that both adjucas were exceptionally powerful was troubling to say the least. Not mentioning the general who made an appearance, Kaiba rightfully was most concerned with him although Horus was enemy number 1 is his books still since he had only talked to the general, or rather was talked to by him and had actually done battle and was found wanting by Horus.
Fucking piece of shit monkey we'll see next time ill roast his ass for sure. he thought to himself reassuring the shinigami that something like that would not happen again.
Watching his brother as he spoke, Kaiba could tell he was on auto-pilot as he called it anyways when his brother was there physically but not mentally. Judging from the way he was looking at the young human females prone form and his experience with Kuatura's "urges" he had a pretty good idea where his head was at. As he was beginning to feel sorry for the girl, knowing what was likely to come his brother kicked a barrel over to him.
“How about a light?” he said
Kaiba sweat dropped and nearly fell over backwards. His brother told him he would be calling soul society. Readying a shot of abolishing flames, low powered of course. Kaiba ignited the barrels contents providing the room with much needed light, on second thought. Looking around he kinda wished he couldn't see all the filth he now sat in. Coarse, thick black smoke rose from the fire wafting out into the night sky through the various holes in the room.
"Nothing like the smell of stale urine burning" he said aloud to no one in particular.
During his brothers conversation, Kaiba looked to the Quincy whom he had left on the floor still unconscious. The kid had balls, he had to admit that more than a little skill it seemed as well seeing as he and the girl who also must be very skilled in her own right had defeated an adjucas before they arrived. Not to mention saving Kaiba's own ass afterwards earning him his trip into concussion land he was now enjoying. The kid was a trooper, his reiatsu was stable and growing with the passing moments. Hearing his brother confirm his concerns that there would be no help coming. Kaiba let out an annoyed grunt.
"Well I don't know about you, but I'm not leaving these two like this. More importantly, I want to know where those three went. I've never seen a garganta like that before and what was up with those two we fought, definetly not your run of the mill adjucas. I want another shot at mighty Joe Young.Next time he will BURN what do you say we rest up a bit then head back to the scene, maybe we can find a clue or an underling. Something so these motherfuckers don't get away with killing Imara. We'll make them pay, what do you say, you in?
