Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait. Here's the next chapter of Mine! Onto the Chapter!

Chapter 9

Shirayuki moved gracefully, running at Jūshiro. Her eyes shone with desperation and rage as she reached for the white haired Shinigami. Sōgyo no Kotowari jumped in front of her and pushed her back. The snow woman muttered something before stabbing the ground. Ice spread from the the area stabbed and moved towards the two zanpakuto.

Sōgo no Kotowari intercepted the attack with fans. They closed them and sent bolts of lightning at Shirayuki. She jumped back and swung her blade.

Katen Kyōkotsu grabbed the two shinigami. She moved to escape from the battle but a wall of ice appeared in front of her. The younger girl went to cut it down while the older woman glared that the four zanpakutos staring down at them.

"And why are you all here?" The purple haired woman asked.

"You can't be serious." Zangestsu said. "You know our Shinigami's are hiding in the human world."

"Then go get them. You are able to open your own Senkaimon."

"Do you think we haven't tried?" Hyōrinmaru snapped. He jumped down so they met eye to eye. "The shinigami have blocked us from the Senkaimon. We need one of them to open one."

Katen looked at Shunsui and Jūshiro. She could drop the one that wasn't her Master and leave him for the Zanpakutos. But his Zanpakuto had protected her Master...She'd return the favor.

The younger Kyōkotsu flew forward and swung her blade. Hyōrinmaru blocked and pushed against her. Kyōkotsu stood her ground and pushed back.

Stubborn...Hyōrinmaru felt an unearthly amount of rage towards the girl.

Sogo no Kotowari let out a shout and Katen looked behind her to see the spirits thrown to the ground. Sode no Shirayuki walked towards the Zanpakuto and Shinigamis her eyes burning with frozen flames.

Kyōkotsu started to falter. Hyōrinmaru began gaining ground and approached fast.

There's no time...Katen thought. Her eyes searched frantically for a way out. Kyōkotsu's blade swung down into the ground and created a dust cloud. Hyōrinmaru and Shirayuki ran forward at the time Katen Kyōkotsu moved out of the way. The two ice Zanpakutos ran into each other. Katen carried the two away.

A storm of cherry blossoms cut off their escape route.

"You didn't forget about us did you?" Zangetsu smirked. Senbonzakura pointed his blade at Katen.

"Give the shinigami to us."

Kyōkotsu moved to attack but stopped and stared surprised at her empty hand.

"Sorry Princess." Zangetsu said. He pointed to his right at the sword embedded in the ground. "Couldn't have you messing anything else up."

Katen could see the increasing irritation through Senbonzakura's mask. His blue eyes seemed like they were trying to burn holes into her.

"What is your decision?"
