KageNeko was taken aback by the ferocity of the hollow. He knew they were strong, had read reports of some of the strongest that squad 2 had taken down. This was incredible though. Between Jason and Brad, two full attacks had only manage to piss it off rather than slow it down. Everyone else was attacking in their own way, except Ken.
Ken, foolhearty as any squad 11 shinigami, took the direct approach of leaping directly onto the hollow, and not just anywhere, but right on its face. The hollow howled in pain as he drove his sword through the eye of its mask, though now it was all he could do to keep from being thrown off.
"Hey! Don't worry, I got it!" Kage yelled up at him. Running directly out in front of the hollow with his blade in spin, he passed it around his body and then threw it upwards, letting the cord slip through his fingers.
"Gleaming Silver Fang, Reach out and grab!" he shouted. The cord, wrapped around one hand and passing through the other, stretched and extended ahead of him. Shooting forward still but shrinking, the blade all but disappeard from the hilt. It did its job though. Wrapping several times around the hollows neck and then hooking onto the cord, Kage got ahold of the hollow though vastly underestimated its strength. It took every ounce of spiritual energy he had to keep himself on the ground.
"GAH...I don't...THINK...SO..." He said through gritted teeth. Pulling hard, he was able to keep the head from thrashing, though he couldn't immobilize it completely. However, he had a better idea.
"Gotta...keep you...still..." he said as he pulled the hollows head down towards him further. Dragging the rope down the the ground, he stepped on it to free his hands, holding them out over the end.
"BAKUDO #4: HAI-NA-WA!"
Spiritual energy gushed from his hands in the form of several yellow ropes. They braided together and dug into the ground deep before returning to the surface and looping over his shikai. Many times they did this until cord of his shikai was firmly anchored to the ground, slowing down the hollow for the moment.
