Rukia's warning came just in time as the orderly approached him from behind, trying to restrain him. He knew there was a nurse with a needle heading for Rukia, but there was little he could do about it at the moment, since the orderly was much bigger and way more massive that he was. Small and quick he might be, but up against a male more than twice his size was quite a challenge, considering he couldn't safely Use here.

Instead, he dropped into a fighting stance, delivering a kick and several hard blows as he did his best to evade the man's grasp. He hoped Rukia would be able to hold her own until he could drop this guy and get to her.
