Chapter 4 - An Unforeseen Attack and Its Consequences
The Six Women had passed eight months without any incidents. Evolet still hasn't been able to tell Hisagi how she feels about him. Neither is Sora. Which tries to suppress it again and again but gradually has to admit more and more that she had apparently fallen in love immortally. However, this was very annoying for Vio, as Sora cannot talk about anyone else at the moment. But she can understand them somewhere, because she feels the same way with Hisagi. By now the others also knew that Sora was in love with Sousuke and Vio was in love with Hisagi. That's why the friends talked a lot with each other. In order not to be constantly warned by the teacher, Vio spontaneously decided to sit down with Sora, since Sousuke was already a Shinigami anyway.
Since relatively many students left school in the last two months, mainly because they hadn't made it, the rest of the girls also sat down with Sora and Vio. Yoko had again applied to quit Shinigami Academy prematurely, but so far she hadn't received an answer. April and Usagi were getting bored more and more at school and were also thinking about taking the exam earlier. After all, she had really drilled Yoko in the last 2 1/2 months and that knowledge is there. However, Hikari enjoyed the time at the academy. Because that way she could spend a lot more time with Toushiro. He had also finished the academy a few weeks ago and was assigned to a division. Still, he always made time for his best friend. That's why Hikari secretly didn't want to leave the academy, because she was afraid that she would not see Toushiro that often anymore.
"Oh Vio ... Since Sousuke is in the 5th division, I see him less and less. And when I'm there, Shinji always intervenes. The guy is really getting on my nerves now." She said to her friend on the left you sat. "Why is Captain Hirako getting on your nerves so?" asked her neighbor on her left. "You are ... my first love." Sora said to her friend Hikari. At first she didn't understand what she meant and looked confused at Sora. “What?” Sora sighed. "I can always listen to that when I'm in 5th Division to see Sousuke." Hikari looked at her friend. "Whaaaas?" She looked at her in horror, not thinking that Shinji would be like that as captain. "Yes. And he does that with all beautiful young women. And every time Vicecaptain Hiyori is around, there is war and it is best to get to safety." Vio had to laugh because she had seen the spectacle herself like Hiyori Shinji finished. Shinji always got the short straw. Hikari, who has a lot of respect for every captain, was really shocked because she couldn't believe it.The next two hours went by in a flash and after that there was lunch break. But our six girls didn't have time for the lunch break for a long time, because after only a short time, the alarm sounded in Seireitei. Everyone in the Shinigami Academy became aware and the teachers ran into the large break room to get all the students back into their classes. They were not yet Shinigami, so it was their job to take care of them. Even if one or the other could handle their Zanpakuto without any problems, they were still forbidden to leave the classrooms. It was very loud and restless in the class, as the first attacks could be heard from a distance. Several columns of black smoke were also seen rising into the sky. The six friends were at the window, just like the others, and had a bad feeling. Especially Usagi, because the direction the attack came from was that of the Kuchiki estate. The others knew that too and hoped Usagi's brother Nobu was not in danger. Now and then one of the five looked at Usagi to see if she was still reasonably well. But Usagi sat like on a bed of nails. ° I can't just stand here and look stupid out of the window. I have to do something. Nobu is in danger! I feel that! He can use any support. ° Usagi wanted to open the window to jump out but she was on one shoulder of Sora and on the other side of April. "Are you sure?" April wanted to know. Usagi nodded decisively and looked at her intently. Then she looked around at her friends and gave Sora the signal to let her go. But before she did that, she had one more question. “Shall we come with you?” Usagi looked at her friends. "I'm sure I'll get in trouble from the teachers because I'll just run away. And that during an attack. Do you really want that too?" On the one hand, she would wish it, on the other hand, she did not want her friends to put themselves in danger. Vio noticed that Usagi was swaying. So she spoke. “So it's clear to me: I'll go with you.” Usagi looked at her. "Yes! You can say whatever you want." Yoko was Vio's opinion. "She is right. After all, we are friends and we can get through everything together." Hikari, April and Sora also agreed.
They didn't come up with a great plan as they knew they would get caught anyway. No matter what trouble they got, now it was important to be there for their friend. So Sora, Vio and Usagi suddenly opened three windows in the classroom and disappeared through. Hikari, Yoko and April also disappeared behind the three. The other students stood there amazed and the teacher freaked out before he could do anything.
After only a short time, the six had arrived at the place where it happened. But what was presented to them there was not a pretty sight. The fight was already going on and there were already a few dead who were lying in front of the Kuchiki estate.Fortunately, Usagi couldn't see her brother anywhere. “Keep an eye out here, I'm going to the Kuchiki estate.” Usagi said and set off before her friends could answer. They looked around outside the property and quickly realized that the attackers were not here. “They all have to be inside. The other Shinigami too.” So the others made their way inside too. Inside, however, there was no different picture than in front of the property. Corpses lay everywhere. Shinigami, as well as the attackers, who covered their faces with scarves. Still, it appeared that the fight was mostly over. "What's going on here?" asked Hikari. “I don't know,” replied April. "We'd better take a look around the property," said Yoko. The others nodded and parted to have an overview of the large property. Yoko and April met on the terrace and could feel several reiatsu in one room. So they decided to see who was there. If the going gets tough, they could fight. They both grabbed their zanpakuto and made a sign that they were storming into the room. They opened the door and stood in the room with their drawn zanpakutos. But no longer to fight. They saw several people lying on the ground. Probably, very possibly even, they were dead. Whose blade they died from, they could only guess. Because in the room stood or sat three people. The young Byakuya Kuchiki stood in front of a crying person who was sitting on the floor and was holding someone in his hand. Byakuya, however, stood with his head turned to one side and did nothing. "Usagi?" Yoko asked carefully. The only answer she got was a loud sob and cry. Then Yoko and April understood that the person who was holding Usagi in their hands was her brother Nobu. Yoko and April ran put their zanpakutos back in their sword scabbards and immediately ran to her. They saw Usagi holding her bloodied brother in his arms and he was dead. Usagi himself was a bit of misery and hugged her brother even tighter. Her two friends were shocked and didn't know what to do. Byakuya, who was standing behind them, was calm and inwardly shocked himself. "Usagi ... what ..." but before April could ask any further questions, Usagi broke out. "What's happened?" she sobbed. "Ask him!" she points with her head at Byakuya Kuchiki. Yoko and April turned in his direction. "My brother sacrificed his life to save him! And what does he do? He stands there as if nothing is that bastard!" Yoko and April were very surprised by Usagi Byakuya Kuchiki, but it was understandable for both of them.
Usagi's screams also made the other three aware and walked in the direction from which they heard the sound. Sora, Vio and Hikari were now on the terrace where Yoko and April were previously. "That was Usagi ..." Hikari said sadly with the premonition that something bad must have happened.She went together with Sora and Vio into the room from which they heard the screams and saw Yoko and April standing in front of a crying Usagi who was sitting on the floor. Both look briefly at the Drein and make a sad face. This enabled Sora, Vio, and Hikari to understand that Usagi's brother Nobu had died in the attack on the Kuchiki estate. And that to save Byakuya Kuchiki's life. They could also sense the hatred Usagi Byakuya felt for. Her friends knew that they had to get Usagi away from this property. They couldn't leave her there any longer. So Yoko and April took their brother's body so Usagi would know they weren't leaving him here. Hikari and Vio went to Usagi and helped her up and supported her since she couldn't stop crying and walked out of the room with her. Sora stood there for a while and looked at Byakuya Kuchiki. But not for a long time, because after a short time a couple of Shinigami were standing in the room and went to Byakuya. However, he only looked at the place where Usagi had previously sat on the floor with her brother. Sora went out without a word.
When the five friends were outside the house with Usagi and her brother, they were stopped by a few other Shinigami. They explained that they had to take Nobu to Squad 4. Since he died in combat, they had to find out how it happened. Usagi knew the rules and before they got into any more trouble, she agreed and the Shinigami took Nobu with them. But when they disappeared with him, Usagi began to cry even more and Hikari and Vio took her and brought her home with
