There was also the fact that Frau wasn't currently hampered by an injury. Hitsugaya trusted his mind a lot more than he trusted his speed right about now.
Of course, that meant his focus was narrowed and he didn't even notice Frau bolt out of the shadows to hoist him up. In fact, he nearly attacked when he was lifted, but the split-second glance up to a familiar face relaxed him marginally and he reversed the stroke to stab into one of the monster's remaining hands -- honestly, it had about five of them, however that even worked.
Fortunately, this seemed to startle the creature into backing off this time; it hadn't expected a counterattack with its prey in this position. Good riddance. He needed time to get his head together, anyway.
Which was probably why he didn't make any noises of protest while being hauled back to the apartment building. He needed to figure this out, and this gave him a moment.
