“Why do I gotta die?” Kita asked as she sprung back from his attack landing in a near by tree. “One thing I don’t like...” Kita’s eyes narrowed and started glowing a bright blue as she went down into a pouncing position. “People telling me what to do.”
She drew her zanpakuto and looked at Tsukiro. “Don’t push it Tsukiro. I won’t go lightly on you. I don’t care if you are in a bad mood from the news.”
Yoruichi put her hand up to Kita. “Wait. Something isn’t right. This isn’t like him. He’s not just lashing out in anger. He’s out of control. Something is controlling him--making him act like this.” She put her hands in front of her, clasping them together. “I’m going to seal him until he snaps out of it. Then we’ll figure out what is going on with him.”
Yoruichi pulled her hands apart calling out, “Bakudo #62: Hyapporankan!”
A pale rod formed between her palms. She threw it at Tsukiro just as he shunpo’ed forward to them. As it sailed towards him at blinding speed, several more appeared and soared at Tsukiro. They connected with him and impaled him, forcing him back and onto the ground where they pinned him.
“Bakudo #30: Shitotsu Sansen!” Yoruichi drew a triangle in the air which turned into three stakes and flew towards him, further pinning him to his spot on the ground.
Tsukiro roared and snarled like a wild cat, struggling against his bonds. Yoruichi ignored him and continued.
“Bakudo #99: Kin!”
Black ribbons snaked around Tsukiro’s body and laid out along the ground. As Yoruichi breathed deeply, Tsukiro’s cries of outrage grew louder. However, he didn’t move, being completely incapacitated by Yoruichi’s string of Kido spells.
“Try getting out of that,” she huffed.
Kita watched as Yoruichi bound Tsukiro. She looked to her as she dropped her hands to her side. “Yoruichi, Tsukiro made a comment to me one day about Kotaishi no Kori not teaching him everything he could know about his zanpakuto.” She looked toward Tsukiro once more. “Do you think?”
Yoruichi looked to Kita in surprise. Then she looked back to Tsukiro. "If that is true, then Tsukiro may very well be in there battling with Kotaishi right now. And if that's the case, all we can do is wait for him to emerge from this battle."
