Hana looked at Arashi, a little shocked not only that he knew she got strong enough to cast her Shikai but also that he knew it was a defending and attacking one at once. She listened to him, saying that he wouldn't blame her and that he wouldn't ask her if he didn't know she could help him. ''Geez Arashi-sama! Don't talk so much..'' she said when he finished, right before he flashed away. ''Of course I'll help you! You wouldn't blame me, but your not only my teacher but also my best friend, I would blame myself if you got hurt while I could have helped you'' She said, more to herself and the others since he had flashed away already. She took one last look at the substitute.. ''You are such a kid.. Watch the show that comes now boy.. You will hopefully only see it once'' she said and did a flash-step to get away.

Even though she wasn't at fast as Arashi, she got in less than a minute next to him. ''You are fast Arashi-sama'' she said and grabbed her zanpactou. ''I am ready'' she said and laid her hand on the blade of her sword. ''Mizūmi no suitora'' she said and her sword disappeared, a wave of crystal blue water appeared around her. ''I am more than ready now'' she said and looked at him. She had been having a little trouble since her zanpactou spirit and she never really were on, what you could call the same wave but since a long and intensive training she had managed the wave of water, where her zanpactou was hidden in, to do exactly what ever she wanted.

There it stood, a huge menos grande, ready to react and she gulped once. She was scared yes, but her loyalty to Arashi-sama would always come before her own fears. Fears where there to kick away when needed, and this was a moment she needed to kick it away. Yet she had the feeling she had been in a sort of same situation before. She took a deep breath and went a few steps higher than Arashi to attract the Menos its attention. ''Hey you, big face!'' she said, it would probably not help but she could always try.

 ''Okay.. Suitora.. No jokes today, this is serious business'' she whispered and looked at the Menos, loading a Cero. She went more to the ground so she wouldn't get the full blast at once and made a shield of the wave right at the moment the Cero got fired off. ''Nnnnnggg...'' She held the handle of her zanpactou in her right hand and stood on the ground. ''Come on Arashi-sama...'' she whispered, not knowing what he was doing since she had to focus a lot on her energy, since she didn't want to get attacked in the back by some filthy little hollow.
