Nero wasn't sure how to react to her dismisal of his help. Why wouldn't he want to help her? She hadn't done anything to make him angry at her. Did she think otherwise? Or was it something else that bothered her? He turned to look at Rukia and Ichigo for a moment before smiling.

"You need any help carrot top just flair your reiatsu and I'll show up." He told the substitute before dashing off after Hana as Ichigo shouted at his back..

He soon caught up o the woman and gave her a questioning look as he examined her. She wasn't looking all that great but much better then she did when he first showed up.

"Why would you think I wouldn't want to help you?" He asked seriously "You haven't done anything to make me not want to help you. Your my friend and I help my friend. I even told that Ichigo boy to flair his reiatsu if he ever needed help."
