Requested Topic: What if Rukia had trained hard and long enough to achieve bankai in time for the Hueco Mundo arc? (i.e. she TOTALLY KICKS ARRANCAR 1-6 BUTT)
Due to http://incandescens.livejournal.com/857773.html
Rukia didn't regret it, not one bit. She had needed the bankai. If she hadn't had it, then the others would be dead by now.
She stepped over the Espada's body, the shattered pieces of brain frozen under ice, and moved on to her next challenge. Perhaps this was how Kurosaki Ichigo felt? So totally certain, so absolutely sure of his purpose that he couldn't even conceive that he might lose?
By now it was reflex action not to think about all the things that she hadn't told Ukitake-taichou. He'd already suffered enough from being her captain and being involved in everything. She'd explain when it was all over. She'd apologise.
And by now it was an absolute reflex action not to think about Urahara Kisuke
(Mm? Yes, yes, I think it can be done)
and what she had asked of him, and what he had done to her, and what would happen when she had to pay for it.
