As his words gently caressed off of his lips, Shizuka felt satisfied with the result that he thought was going to ensue. The Togabito had no choice but to halt his devious actions towards his subordinate once he saw the phenomenon that was ensuing. It was only but a matter of time until h-
"What the..... he's not even flinching. He couldn't---"
The foe who they've been facing all night, who was completely aware and tactical in his approaches, was un-phased by the technique's effect. His intentions were clear as day, as he tightened his chains around the helpless Kuro, squeezing the blood forcefully from his body in a attempt to torture him. His bloodlust was unmatched and the vigor in his pursuit of torture was concerning to Shizuka. In his mind he needed to do something expeditiously, he could not just wait until his technique finally latched onto him, he needed to find a way to save Kuro from the Togabito's clutches.
The Togabito continued to wind up, his intentions to annihilate Kuro's body on the pavement were clear. Shizuka began to take a step and immediately realized the difference in his movement. It took almost everything in his power just to simply move, everything to just inch his legs forward. His zanpakuto, a weightless object to him, suddenly began to feel extremely heavy in the process. Things were panning out to be slim for their chances of survival, but Shizuka knew he had to push forward. His adrenaline, combined with his reiryoku slightly increasing his physical functions allowed him to make a heavy footed dash towards the Togabito. He did not close the distance completely, only dashing close enough to bridge the gap between them by half. Intentionally not using Shunpo, to reduce the strain on his body, and staying away far enough to give him leeway to dodge an incoming chain or spectral assault . As the Togabito began to fully wind up his slam, Shizuka shouted simultaneously, focusing the reiryoku in his left hand into his two fingertips.
"Hainawa!"'
Instantly a string of light escaped from Shizuka's fingertips. It's energy shining and glistening molding itself into a whip that would stretch and extend on his whim. He swings his left arm up, in diagonal fashion throwing the whip of light out at a far distance. His aim would be the body of Kuro's, who is still encapsulated within the chains. Making a deadly descent into asphalt by the Togabito's assault. If the kido spell from Shizuka made it's way to Kuro's body successfully, the spell would coil around the chains of the Togabito as a second layer. Tightening it's grip, allowing for a second anchor to be attached, that anchor being Shizuka. Although his strength was declining by the minute, the remnants of his power would allow him to negate the swing downwards of the Togabito, halting it's momentum, just about a yard away before his head slammed into the head into the asphalt. As well as keep him suspended in the air, all through the strength of Shizuka's tug at his Hainawa.
While in this struggle of pulling back, Shizuka would begin to chant to himself
"Carriage of thunder, bridge of a spinning wheel....."
He didn't know if the chains would react to his Hainawa, but he had to hold on for as long he could. At any moment he could be a target for the chain's inherent coiling. Shizuka was banking on his Thunder Stance hitting him in time, which would completely immobilize the Togabito when it hits but..... there was nobody in sight to even follow up. Then suddenly, the light from a vibrant radiance illuminated the streets and a mysterious figure, cloaked in a golden reiatsu, dashed onto the scene. Shizuka befuddled by this figure's sudden appearance witnessed his arrival, but didn't say or do anything in response. He took his time to assess what his purpose was and based on his assault on the Togabito, he could tell he was here to help.
