Jay, Death - 70J60 on dA
Mana Kurosaki - Me
Mana kept walking, Ichigo following her, worried. Mana started walking faster, trying not to stumble. Hichigo, after having too many drinks thanks to Matsumoto, stumbled into Mana's path. Mana held on to her head, feeling Hana getting more control. "Mana, why don't you stop?" asked Ichigo, worriedly.
Mana turned and said nothing, just grinding her teeth. Despite being drunk, Hichigo grabbed her shoulder and simply said, "You having trouble with your hollow?"
Mana stiffened and looked up at him. "H-hana snap…ped…" she said.
Ichigo looked even more worried. "Didn't you say that she did that earlier?" Ichigo asked.
"Y-yeah, she wa…rned me…" Mana replied.
"Like I would for you." said Hichigo.
"Y-yeah…" Mana said shakingly, and then she saw something disturbing, an image was in her mind, she was standing over Jay, a bloodthirsty smile on her face, holding Tamashii to her throat. Jay had tears rolling down her face, as Ichigo was on the ground, dead, about a few feet away, covered in blood. Mana shook her head, trying to rid the image.
Hichigo looked at her with concern, and let her go. "I'll help you if you need it." He said.
"W-what can I do to...s-stop H-hana from going in-insane…?" she asked, still shakingly.
"Well, if you want we could go off to a different place and let her go for a bit. It might make her insanity go down." Hichigo replied.
"Yeah, Th-that'd work." Mana agreed, and turned to Ichigo, giving him a small 'Don't follow us look', Ichigo nodded, and Hichigo opened a Garganta to Hueco Mundo and motioned to enter it. Mana went in to the Garganta, hoping that this would work. Hichigo entered shortly after and the Garganta closed behind them. Mana exited the Garganta, and she felt Hana get antsier. Hichigo left after her, and walked up to Mana.
"You ready?" he asked. Mana nodded, and let Hana have control. Her eyes flared a brilliant yellow, as Hana cackled insanely.
Hichigo smiled at her, and asked her "Enjoying this, Hana?"
"Yeh can bet your ass I am, Hichigo." She said with a distorted voice.
Smirking almost insanely, he replied "Good then!" He dashed at her after pulling out his inverted Zangetsu.
Hana's smile, if possible, got even larger as she summoned her inverted Tamashii out of thin air, and countered his attack. "Nice try, Hichigo." she commented.
Hichigo quickly slashed from below to break her block.
Hana then blocked his attack, still smiling, and slashes from the side, missing.
Hichigo slashed at her, but missed.
Hana went to slash at Hichigo but Mana took her chance and made Hana slash her own arm. "The fuck Mana, butt-out, would yeh?" Hana said annoyed.
Hichigo took this chance to attack Hana.
Hana tried to shunpo out of the way, but once again Mana kept her from moving. "I swear to fuckin'…Yeh trying to get me hurt Queen?" Hana said, even more annoyed. Not like this mattered, because Hichigo, being drunk, missed.
Hana chuckled to herself as she slashed at the drunk hollow, and actually hit him, keeping Mana at bay.
Hichigo tried to block, but still a bit drunk, he failed.
Hana went to slash but her other arm grabbed her arm that had Tamashii in it. "I SAID STOP IT QUEEN!" she screeched, extremely pissed.
Hichigo did nothing since his head started to hurt from all the drinks he had.
Hana started to laugh uncontrollably and she looked at him, eyes flaring yellow again, and gripped the hilt of Tamashii, and went to slash at his shoulder.
Since Hichigo's head was hurting he failed to block Hana's attack. Blood flew from his wound.
Hana smile got even bigger at the sight of the crimson liquid. She went to attack but she quickly grabbed her head, her insanity leaving a bad effect for her, so she wasn't able to attack correctly.
Hichigo then attempted to stab Hana, despite being drunk.
Hana blocked the attack, putting enough effort in it to crack his Zangetsu.
Surprised at Hana's attack, he jumps back. "Nice one."
Hana was surprised to feel Mana take control again and stab Hana in the stomach.
I'll immobilize you Hana…
Hana coughed up a bit of blood and wiped her mouth, mumbling curses at Mana.
Deciding to see what will happen, Hichigo didn't move.
Hana ran at Hichigo, slashing insanely fast at him, Mana saw what was happening and intervened, trying to stop Hana. Hana could hear her growl as she stopped after hitting Hichigo.
Smiling at the fact that Mana was getting control again, he attacked Hana but missed.
Hana went to slash at Hichigo but tripped, stabbing herself by accident.
Hichigo just facepalmed.
Hana got back up, again cursing, and ran at Hichigo failing to attack.
Hichigo slashed at her, attempting to kill her.
Hana looked at him smugly and blocked the attack, having little trouble.
Hichigo kept slashing at her, getting faster with each slash.
Hana's eyes again flared a brighter yellow as she added more power to successfully block his slashes. "S' wrong Hichigo, you're getting slow'r~" she taunted.
"Yah think so?" he plainly stated. He started to attack so fast that Hana couldn't see his sword.
Hana was hit several times, unable to block.
I told you…
TOLD ME WHAT QUEEN? Hana thought angrily.
Hichigo kept attacking at the same, un-seeable speed.
Hana once again failed to block the bombarding attacks from Hichigo, she growled annoyed at her own weakness.
Hichigo jumped over her, and attempted to slash at her back, but missed.
Hana was still in a daze and had a hard time trying to figure out what to do.
You're the one who is becoming slow Hana…
Shuddap Queen…
Hichigo gripped his head because his own insanity got in his way.
Hana grabbed the hilt of her Tamashii, and walked over to Hichigo, holding the sword up at him, about to stab him in the chest. Mana grabbed Hana's arm, and forced her to stop, but Hana kept trying. Mana finally had enough, took the sword and turned it, to where the blade was facing Hana and stabbed it right through her stomach, making blood splatter on the sand and some dripped from Hana's mouth.
Seeing this as a perfect opertunity to get her, he slashed at her giving her a grave wound.
Hana yelled out in pain, and held the wound, trying tot stop the blood flow. She growled and gripped Tamashii tighter, and dashes at Hichigo, slashing him again. Mana tried to stop her, after Hana got a hit on Hichigo, Mana took control and stabbed Hana in the stomach again.
Why don't you give up Hana?
Why don't yeh shut the fuck up queen.
Hichigo took a few steps back and held his head. "Not now..."
Hana doubled over, panting as blood dripped from her wounds, her eyes started to slowly, but barely noticablely, fade to silver.
All of a sudden, Hichigo erupted into a crazed laughter and started to spin his Zangetsu by it's cloth.
Hana, looked up at him, eyes widened with fear. Mana didn't even do anything, but just watch.
Hichigo threw his sword at Hana, his eyes now a yellow color.
Hana was barely able to block the flying Zonpakuto, and she growled.
Queen, we are fucked!
I know that damnit...
He brought back his sword, spun it again, and dashed at Hana.
Imobile in shock, Hana didn't know what to do. Mana took this chance to take full control for as long as she could, Mana shunpo'd out of the way of Hichigo.
Queen, why'd yeh do that?
Mana sighed. "It's my body, I've caused enough damage ya know..." she said boredly.
Hichigo threw his sword in Hana's direction, slightly annoyed at her.
Mana lost control of her body and Hana took her sword and blocked the flying Zangetsu, growling as her eyes glimmered a bright yellow, insane once again.
Hichigo dashed at Hana and stabbed her, breaking multiple bones.
Hana cried out, blood gushing, splattering on the sand. Hana felt dizzy, and Mana took control again, feeling the pain of the broken bones, and stumbled forward a bit, turning to face Hichigo, panting. "H-Hichigo...snap o-outta i...t..." Mana said and fell forward, her and Hana exausted, and beaten.
Hichigo put his sword on his shoulder and stared at her, content. He turned to walk away.
Mana felt Hana give up control, and she layed there, unable to move, with dull eyes.
Why...am I such a weakling...? I can't even keep Hana from taking over...Why... She thought, as her eyelids slid shut a little.
Smelling the scent of a weak soul, hollows started to come out from where they were hiding.
Mana could feel them. She moved her head to look at the surrounding hollows, and she felt her hand slowly move to grab Tamashii. She knew it wasn't Hana doing this so she let it do as it pleased. She used her other arm to try to get up. She murmered something unheard, still weak. Her legs were shakey and one of them gave out, unable to stay up, she fell down.
A few of the hollows, eager to eat a soul, pounced on her.
Mana barely swung her sword, trying to fend off the hollows. Hichigo...I'm sorry... she thought to herself. She looked at one of them, feeling nothing, she kept trying to get back up, but failed. "Damnit...Damnit...Damnit..." she repeated over and over.
"DAMNIT MANA!" Hichigo yelled from a distance, and a huge white wave came in her direction.
"Shit..." said Mana, unable to move out of the way.
The other hollows stood in fear from the attack. Hichigo shunpoed infront of Mana before the attack got to her and blocked it for her.
"H-hichigo...I'm sorry..." she apologised, feeling slightly relived.
He turned to look at her, and she saw that he was still insane. "Stay down." He pushed her down and killed the remaining hollows. Mana nodded and did as she was told, watching the hollows fall one by one.
After killing the last hollow, he stood there for a bit and walked to Mana. Mana watched him walk over to her, and smiled faintly. He stopped beside her, and held his hand out to her as his eyes shifted back to silver.
Mana slowly grabbed his hand, and held onto it, and Hichigo helped her up. Mana used Tamashii as a support as she stood up.
"Sorry for hurting you so badly." Hichigo said, sort of sadly.
"Don't b-be, Hichigo. It happens..." she said back to him, trying to comfort him.
He looked away from her and said, "Why does it always seem like I hurt you the worst?"
Mana looked at him, and hugged him tightly. "Don't think like that Hichigo..." she said softly.
"che..." He just stood there, unmoving.
Mana let go of him, and stood silently as well.
"Anyway, should we go back?" He inquired.
"Yeah." replied Mana, sighing.
Hichigo turned away from her and opened a Garganta back to the Soul Society. He went in shortly afterward, not waiting for Mana, who followed him through the Garganta, quietly. Hichigo left shortly afterward. Mana still followed him, quietly. The Garganta closed after they left. They saw Jay and Ichigo standing where they had come back.
"What happened?" asked Ichigo.
Mana looked at him and said "We got Hana to calm down..."
Jay walked up to Mana and hugged her "I missed you.."
Mana smiled softly. "We weren't that long, were we?" she said.
"Well you were to me." Jay replied stubbornly.
Mana laughed and smiled, "Well then, I missed ya too Jay."
Jay smiled and let go of her.
"So, what do you wanna do?" asked Mana.
"I'd assume you two are pretty tired after that.." Jay said, a little as if she wasn't really paying attention.
"I'm not tired at all, are you Hichigo?" Mana asked Hichigo.
He did not reply for a bit. "...I'm not tired."
Mana sighed, wondering why he was acting like this. There were fireworks going off now. Mana looked up at them, and smiled.
"Wow... They're always so pretty..." Jay said in amazement.
Mana nodded in agreement, and continued watching them. Ichigo watched them aswell, smiling. As the party was comming to a close, everyone started to leave.
"I guess the party is endin'." said Mana as she watched the peole leave.
"Yup~!" Jay said happily.
Mana smiled at Jay, happily. Jay started to walk back to the first squad's barracks. Ichigo followed, and so did Mana. Hichigo did not follow them though.
Mana turned to face Hichigo, "You coming Hichigo?" she asked.
"... Don't you feel that spirit pressure?" he asked them, even though they have no idea what he's talking about.
Ichigo shook his head 'No', "I don't feel anything Hichigo..." Mana replied.
"WHAT DO YO-" He stopped himself from yelling at them.
"Seriously dude, I don't feel it, neither does Ichigo..."she said seriously.
Hichigo looked horrified."T-that means... this is bad. Very bad."
Mana looked slightly panicked. "What do we do?" she asked.
"Well you can't do anything if you can't feel it..." He said and walked up to Mana and gently grabbed her shoulder. "Maybe you can feel it now." He let Mana feel what he felt, and Mana felt this terrible spirit pressure that wasn't there before.
Mana's eyes grew wide. "The fuck..." she mumbled.
"Hey you." Said a strange female voice.
Mana turned to look at the person who had the voice. "Who are you...?" she asked.
She saw a girl with a black, flowing cloak, who simply said, "I am death. Nothing more."
Mana looked horrified at the lady, a million thoughts flowing through her mind all at the same time, all revoling around one topic; Death.
"Are you here to kill one of us, or do you just want fun?" Hichigo asked, now completely composed.
Mana just watched the girl, still thinking. "You somehow remind my of the Espada named Barragan, he always talked about death and age or something..." said Mana.
"I am here to kill you, Hichigo Shirosaki. And I know Barragan. I do not care for him." she replied plainly.
Mana found herself gripping the hilt of Tamashii tightly when she heard her say she was going to kill Hichigo. Mana wouldn't alow it to happen in a 1,000,000 years.
"Always me, isn't it?" Hichigo repied, somewhat amused.
"You are taking a place that you shouldn't have." the girl replied.
Mana and just watched them, waiting for anything to happen.
"Trust me, you'll have to fight at your full power to even attempt to kill me."
"Really? What a challenge." He smirked at what the girl said.
Mana let go of Tamashii's hilt, remebering how much stronger Hichigo is than when they fight one another, smirks slightly.
"I am not understating anything. I know the extent of your power eventhough you've never shown it." She told him, plainly with no emotion.
"..." Mana kept watching them, silently.
"Then you'd know that I'd be even stronger if I fought with someone."
"I do."
"Mana, would you mind fighting with me again?" Hichigo asked Mana.
"I'd be happy to Hichigo." she said.
Hichigo smiled as he started to disappear and started to form his mask on Mana.
"Hm, you gonna be careful and not get yourself in deep shit, are yeh Hichigo?" asked Mana.
"Hopefully not." He said though Mana.
"Well then, let's go." she said with a serious voice.
"I also know that you'll still hold back unless you're insane." Said the girl who called herself death.
Mana looked at the girl. "When you're insane, you go full out on your instinct, and most of the time people don't do that because they try to stratigize, slowing them down." said Mana.
"She's right though, I will still hold back..." Hichigo said to only Mana.
"It's okay Hichigo." said Mana out loud, trying to reassure him.
"What'll be ok? I'm not here to fight him as the person you know him as, I'm here to fight as who he really is." The girl said.
"I know that, it'd be kinda dumb if ya came to fight him as his calm self, you'd wanna fight him full on, am I correct?" said Mana.
"She means fully insane. You've never felt that, I never want you to either." Hichigo said to Mana.
"I know Hichigo, but let's just get this overwith, shall we?" said Mana to Hichigo.
"It's not just any feeling, it's what you see as well. It's like your worst night mare come true."
"..." Mana stood there, thinking about what he just said.
"Well then, shall we begin?" The girl asked.
"If Hichigo is, then yes." replied Mana.
"I'm ready."Said Hichigo through Mana.
"Then let's fight." said Mana plainly.
The girl shunpoed beside Mana, and says something that Mana somehow understood as 'Loose everything'.
"The hell?" said Mana, wondering why she said that.
"Damn it not that fast!" Hichigo began to scream in pain.
Mana growled and took out Tamashii, dashing at the girl slashing. "Don't play dirty, Death!" she snarled, pissed.
"Death is never fair."
"Che..."she said annoyed, and continued slashing at the girl.
Mana finally feels what Hichigo was screaming about- his insanity rose too fast for even him to handle.
"Shit!" Mana yelled out, unprepared for the sudden hit of it.
Hichigo grabed Mana's head because of all the pain and Mana cursed silently.
"Tch..." she grunted, really annoyed,
When they see what happened, the world was not like it was before. The sky was a dark green, and there was blood everywhere. Everyone was dead, and terrible looking monsters were standing where people used to space around them started to fluctuate because of how much spirit pressure was being released.
Mana's eyes grew extremely wide, her body stiffened, she was beyond terrified.
Suddenly Mana felt like everyone was against her- including Hichigo.
Mana growled, from a bit of fear and new found anger.
Then they see Ichigo's and Jay's dead bodies and the monsters that took their place. The girl who called herself death still stood where she was.
"..." Mana shook her head, and glared up at the girl.
"Well, what's it like seeing what complete insanity does to you?"
Mana growled. "It's a fucking nightmare..." she mumbled.
Hichigo lunged at the girl, slashing insanely fast.
Mana felt herself smile insanely, and chuckled lightly.
The girl just walked back while blocking Hichigo's attacks. "You know what really sucks about this insanity that you've fallen into?"
"..." Mana didn't reply.
"Just ask the person who pulled you into it. He'll give you a good answer."
"Is it the fact that it's a feeling that is harder than hell to shake, and you just want to keep on fighting and slaying anything in your path?" Mana asked.
"No."
"Then I'll ask 'im later. For now, let's worry about kicking ass, ne?" said Mana.
"I think you should know. Go ahead and ask him."
Mana sigh, annoyed and asked Hichigo what Death wanted her to ask him. "What sucks about insanity Hichigo?"
"Who the hell are you?"
"Ah, so I have forgotten, you don't remeber when you are in a trance of insanity, all that matters is doing what your instict wants..." Mana said.
"Well who ever you are, I won't let you get control back after I kill her."
"...Then I'll fight for it, hIcHiGo..." she said.
He did not reply.
"You see what I mean?"
"Yeah, I see what yeh mean Death. Is it okay if I call yeh that since I dunno what else to call yeh?" asked Mana.
"I do not care."
"Alright then Death, come on at me bro." said Mana as she dashes at her, slashing as fast as Hichigo was.
She's able to block as if it was child's play.
"...Tch" Growled Mana, charging up a Chi Tamashii.
Hichigo launched the attack with his own Getusga Tenshou.
"Creative." mumbled Mana as she smirked.
'Death' slices the attack in half and summons this huge wave of a terrible, dark feeling.
Mana cringed at the feeling, and shunpo'd at Death, trying to get it to stop.
"What the hell are ya doing!"
"Trying to kick ass..." she mumbled.
"Right into my attack, perfect."
Mana jumped backwards.
"Maybe you should let him fight. He knows what he's doing."
"Alright, go nuts Hichigo." said Mana, giving full control to Hichigo.
"Who are these people you keep talking about?"
"Oops, sorry...Well just take control and do as yeh please, I don't wanna fuck up." she said shrugging.
Hichigo slashed at the ground, leveling it and disrupting 'Death's attack.
Mana just watched what Hichigo did.
"You enjoying fighting like this again?" Death asked.
"There is hardly any enjoyment but if it's to protect someone, I'd do it a million times over." Mana replied plainly.
"I didn't ask you, girl."
"Sorry then, kinda hard to tell who yeh're talking to ya know." said Mana.
"I am enjoying this, who ever you are. But where is Ichigo?"
"...He's around here somewhere, kinda hard to tell."
"He's close by."
"Good. Because I'm killing him next."
"..." Damn instict thought Mana.
Hichigo started to create clones of himself to fight Death.
Mana watched, slightly amused.
"I love this attack. Strange how no one else can do it."
Mana nodded, not caring if she was being spoken to or not.
"Love... What is that?" Hichigo said.
"Love is an emotion used to describe storng, good, feelings twards someone or something." Mana replied.
"Quite frankly, you love to kill." said Death.
"Hm." said Mana.
After creating sufficent clones of himself, they dashed at Death, who had no problem with the first couple of clones.
Mana laughed loudly, not knowing why but it felt good.
As more clones started to attack Death, she had a bit more trouble fending them off.
Mana kept watching, amused.
Death made a huge dark blast that felt terrible. Hichigo managed to move most of the clones away from it just in time.
"..."
Death shunpoed behind the real Hichigo and said "You know, this isn't like you."
"The hell ya talkin' about?" He whipped around and slashed her.
Mana shrugged, unknowing aswell.
Death dodged the attack and stabbed Hichigo.
"..." Mana just glared at death, knowing she'd say something stupid if she spoke.
Hichigo grabbed the sword and broke it. "Why're ya makin this go fast? Let's enjoy this."
Mana smirked, agreeing with Hichigo, slightly wanting it to be over.
"I don't think your host wants this to last long."
"Who cares about her? You're fighting me."
Mana sighed. Really not caring how fast it went, aslong as it was over with.
Hichigo slashed upward at Death, and she jumped back. He then readies his arm.
"I'm glad you decided to go this far."
"Shineba."
"How can I? I'm dead anyway."
Mana smirked.
"BanKai."
When he went into Bankai, it had no trace of Mana's Bankai. It had his completly white Bankai, and Tensa Zangetsu.
Mana raised one of her brows, in a slight confusion.
"I see that your spirit energy has taken over hers."
Hichigo did not respond, but only attacked her. Mana watched, and wondered how this was gonna end. As Hichigo attacked Death, she disappeared.
"Try to catch me if you can, Hollow."
Mana glared at Death, hating it when poeple would say another name like they own them.
Hichigo closed his eyes, and concintrated. Even though everything was black Mana saw a light blue for all the reatsu in the air - and she could make out where Death had gone. Mana was slightly surprized by this but quickly got used to it.
"I know I can catch you." Hichigo said as he dashed past all the attacks that Death had set up in his way.
"Really?"
Hichigo responded with a Getsuga Tenshou.
Mana watched the large white wave of energy be slung at Death, smiling darkly.
Death dodged the first attack, but did not see the one that Hichigo was about to launch from behind.
"Caught cha." he said and he slashed his sword down on her shoulder.
Death was surprised by this, and jumped back after receving a huge wound from his attack.
Panting, she said "Fine. I won't kill you for now, but I'll be back. I swear it on my soul." Soon after that, she left.
"COWARD!" Hichigo yelled at her.
The monseter that killed Jay started to walk twards Hichigo, and then it started to run at him. Hichigo just looked at it. It yelled something that Mana couldn't understand. It had trouble getting close to Hichigo because of all the spirit pressure being released, but in the end it reached him and wrapped its arms around him tightly.
"Get off of me." Hichigo said and stabbed it.
It coughed up blood onto his cloak, but didn't let go. It then said, "S-stop Hichigo..."
Mana's eyes grew extremely wide. "Dude stop, it's Jay...Please stop!" Mana yelled. She was terrieifed at the though of anyone hurting Jay.
"Who is Jay?"
"SHE'S ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS, SNAP OUTTA IT!" Mana yelled, angered.
"SNAP OUT OF WHAT!"
"THIS FUCKING NIGHTMARE OF INSANITY!" she yelled as she went to reach for the mask on her face, about to rip it off.
The arm that used to be Hichigo's grabbed her arm to keep it from pulling off his mask. "I said I wouldn't let you have control back, didn't I!"
"And I said I'd fight to get it back, didn't I?" she said, still reaching for the Mask the best she posibly could.
Hichigo kept Mana's hand away the best he could, but he couldn't stop Jay from reaching for the mask to pull it off.
Mana smirked and glanced at Jay, while grabbing hichigo's hand. "Yeh know what to do, Jay." she said.
Jay nodded and pulled off Hichigo's mask, which made him scream in pain.
"Sorry Hichigo, but it had to be done..." Mana said.
The world started to fade back to the way that it was after the mask fully came off.
Mana sighed, and looked at Jay. "I'm sorry Jay..."
"I-I know it's not your fault..." She replied weakly.
Mana looked down, with saddness. She picked Jay up, and started to head back to the barracks to treat her wounds.
"I swear I'm gonna kill you when I get the chance." Hichigo told Mana darkly.
"I know you will, but I'm not worrin' about it right now..." Mana said back to Hichigo.
"Oi, Hichigo, watch yourself." Hana growled.
"Why should I?" Hichigo told her.
"Because I don't take to kindly to people who decide to kill a body that I'm gonna use one day!" Hana replied.
Mana shook her head, annoyed with the two hollows, and opened the door with Ichigo not to far behind her and Jay. She sat Jay on the couch and went to get some badages and disenfectent cream to keep the wound from getting infected. She came back and started to clean the wound and wrap it in bandages.
"I-is he going to be alright?" Jay asked Mana.
"I dunno Jay, he's still insane, and Hana won't stop agrueing with him... so I'm sure she ain't helping him much." Mana said sadly.
"Hmm..." Jay looked kind of sad. "Well I hope he comes back soon."
Mana nodded. "Yeah, 'cause I wanna live a bit longer." she said, remebering Hichigo's threat.
Mana noticed a bit of black starting to come into her vision. She shook her head, trying to rid the black from her sight, but it did not go away.
"Com'on..s-stop." she muttered.
"I told you I'm not giving up."
Mana grinded her teeth and got up, and walked out. She wouldn't let him have control around people so easily. She couldn't see out of her left eye because of the black that had blocked her vision.
Damnit Hichigo... Mana thought, picking up her pace a bit.
She could feel his influence a lot more now.
"..." Mana gripped her head, and still kept walking.
His mask started to form on her face rapidly.
Mana growled, and grabbed the mask, tearing it off her face. "Stop damnit!" she yelled out.
"I will not!"
"Stop being a fucking dipshit and open your fucking eyes Hichigo! I dunno the effect that girl had on you but you must stop this!" Mana mentaly screamed.
He stopped for a bit.
"You mentioned that name again. Who is it?"
"You're Hichigo... I know you're gonna say you have no name, but YOU have a name, Hichigo!"
He did not say anything for a bit, and the black started to go away.
"Oh god, what have I done..."
Mana sighed, slightly relived, and went to her knees.
Hichigo remained silent for a long time.
"Hichigo...?" Mana asked.
"I-I'm sorry."
"Hichigo... It's alright..." Mana said softly.
He did not say anything. Mana sighed, and didn't move, she sat there quietly.
"Did I hurt anyone?"
"You stabbed Jay, but I got her healed..."
Mana felt sadness comming from him.
"It's all my fault, I'm sorry Hichigo..."
"It's not your fault, it was my insanity."
"..." Mana got up and walked back to the barracks. She opedned the door and walked in.
Jay was sitting upright on the couch, holding her wound.
"You okay Jay?" Mana asked, concerned.
"I'm fine. Are you?"
"I'm fine." Mana replied.
"I'm sorry Jay." Hichigo said through Mana.
"It's ok Hichigo..."
Mana sat over by Jay, and Ichigo walked in. "Everyone okay?" he asked.
"I think so." Jay replied.
"Alright." He said as he walked over to sit by them.
Mana leaned back against the couch, frowning a little. Jay leaned on Mana's shoulder and closed her eyes for a bit. Mana smiled lightly and looked down at Jay.
"So what are we going to do tomorrow?" Jay asked.
"I have no idea..." Mana replied truthfuly.
Ichigo went outside, and Mana looked in his direction, questionaly.
Ichigo saw a fourth of the Sereti covered in a black fog.
"The hell?" Ichigo said.
Mana got up and went over to Ichigo and saw the fog. "What is that?" she asked.
"Some sort of a block fog." replied Ichigo.
A Hell butterfly came out and flew around Mana for a bit until Hichigo lifted her hand for it to land on.
"Captain Commander, this fog is killing everyone who enters it!"
Mana looked surprised.
"Must be from our fight with Death." Hichigo told Mana.
"Yeah, maybe she came back for a round two." she told Hichigo.
"I really don't want you to fall into my insanity again..."
"I know Hichigo...Neither do I but it'll be alright, cause this time, I'm fight harder." She told him sternly.
"Good."
Mana grabbed Tamashii, and put it on her shoulder. "Let's go see then." she said.
"Jay, Ichigo, don't follow us." Hichigo told them.
"Alright." Ichigo said.
Hichigo looked back once more and then dashed into the battlefield. Mana did the same, even though they were in the same body, it made them go faster. As they neared the black fog, they could hear screams comming from it. Mana increased her speed.
"I'm gonna go ahead and let some of my insanity go up. Is that ok with you?"
"Yeah, just don't go overboard, m'kay?" said Mana.
"I don't think I'll have a choice with Death."
"Alright." Mana said.
Soon after, Mana felt the distinct effects of his insanity as they got even closer to the center of the black fog. Mana looked at the fog, seeing if there was anyone in it. She saw lots of dead bodies, but she couldn't make out any details because of how dark it was.
"Hm..." Mana said, guard up.
The black fog started to swirl around the center, and they could feel a terrible spiritual pressure similer to Death's.
"...Death." Mana muttered.
"Back so soon?" Said a familliar femine voice.
"Tch, had too with the black fog killin' everyone..." Mana said.
"Oh that's right, he does have to care about everyone getting killed since he's in charge here."
Mana glared at her darkly.
"As much as it annoys me, I do have to care about them." Hichigo said.
"Not saying that you guys annoy me, because you don't."
"I know, Hichigo"
"Which proves my point of you being in a wrong place. Besides that, what do you think everyone will think when they find out you're a crazed physcopath?" Death replied.
"Hey, He's not a physcopath." Mana said.
"And you can say that after seeing what he's really like?"
"Yep." Mana said plainly.
"What exactly do you think he is anyway?"
"I think he's just like a normal person, just with alot more power." Mana said.
"More like corrupted power."
Mana felt a little bit of anger comming from Hichigo.
"Death, I think we should stop this nonsense conversation and just end this, ne?" said Mana.
"Indeed so. Ranguren!" She brought her hand up and a monster came out of the black fog.
"Heh, nice one." said Mana as she looked at the monster that was summoned, she gripped the handle of Tamashii.
"I'm gonna let go. Is that alright with you?"
"Go ahead."
Mana suddenly felt the rest of his insanity come, and the world started to change to a desolate place.
"..."Mana said nothing.
"I see that you decided to go insane already."
"Shut up, it's what'cha want, isn't it?"
"It is. Flash cry!"
Ranguren let out a huge beam of light and sound, and Hichigo moved just in time to dodge it.
Nice one Mana thought.
You again! Hichigo thought to Mana.
...Yeah. She thought back to him.
Hichigo dashed at Death, and she brought up some of the black fog to block his attacks. Ranguren came up behind Hichigo, about to attack him.
Mana saw Ranguren and jumped to the side, dodging the monster.
"Don't like my pet do you?"
"Nope."
"I thought he's rather cute."
Ignoring the conversation, Hichigo began attacking again. Mana added some of her power to strengthen and speed up the attacks. Mana could feel something different about herself, but couldn't figure out what it was.
"..." she ignored it for the moment and continued fighting.
"I see that you're making her more like yourself. Is that so you'll have more power?"
"She's slow."
Mana didn't say anything, only looking at Ranguren. Hichigo kept attacking, getting faster and stronger as his hollow form came out more.
"..."
"Are you actually going to kill me this time?"
"If it's the last thing I do."
"How sweet."
Mana laughed, amused by the conversation going on between them.
Hichigo shunpoed behind Death and stabbed her.
"Don't be so full of yourself." Death said.
"I'm not."
Death disappeared and re-appeared sitting ontop of Ranguren, with some of the black fog around her wound.
"You're fighting on my ground, Hollow."
Hichigo didn't respond, but instead he dropped down into the black fog. Mana watched what he did.
"That's pretty much suicide if you get hurt in there, Hollow."
He didn't care, but instead started to slash around in the black fog, making it disperese. Death realized what he was doing and quicky ordered Ranguren to do another Flash Cry. Hichigo dodged it and kept attacking the black fog.
"Alright, see if you can dodge this!" Death yelled at Hichigo and started to create lances made out of the black fog. She threw them at Hichigo while Ranguren was firing Flash Cries.
They were surpisingly accurate, and Hichigo had a hard time dodging all of them. Mana helped Hichigo dodge them the best she could.
And then one of the dark lances hit them - it left a large wound and the black fog quickly surrounded them.
"Looks like this is the end for you, Hollow."
"Not even close Death." Growled Mana, trying to figure out what to do.
"I've cheated you once, Death, and I CAN DO IT AGAIN!" Hichigo yelled at Death.
"I'f you're thinking about regnerating that wound, don't even try, because you can't."
Suddenly Mana found herself behind Death, about to strike down on her.
"That's not what I'm thinking." Hichigo grabbed her shoulder and slashed down on her before she could even turn to look at him.
Mana smirked widely and watched the sword go through her flesh.
Death fell forward onto Ranguren's back, defeated.
"H-how did you not stop from the fog's infection?"
"I told you, I cheated you once. I'll cheat you again."
Mana watched the conversation, still smirking.
Death stared to dissapate, and said this "You can't kill death, because it'll always find someone to kill or have kill. Hichigo, leave her."
"No."
"..."
"You have to."
"I do not. I keep her as mine, even if she slows me down."
Mana was slightly confused, and kept listening.
"I said leave her." This time, Death's voice was layered and Mana felt as if Hichigo was being ripped out of her.
"The Hell are you doing, Death?" Mana yelled out.
"I need him out of you."
Mana felt a terrible pain and noticed that she was back to the way she was before the fight, and Hichigo standing beside her in his Vasto Lorde form.
"T-the fuc-fuck?" Man said a bit shakey.
"Listen, since you beat me, Death has called you worthy"
"..."
"You'll probably loose your mind."
Hichigo let out an insane laugh. "I've already lost it. What more do you want to tell me that I know?"
Mana looked back and forth from each of them, waiting for the other to say something.
Death did not respond.
"Well let's get this over with, shall we?" Hichigo said defiantly.
The black fog started to swirl around Hichigo, and soon Mana couldn't see him through it at all. The last thing she saw before Hichigo was completely blacked out was his insane smile.
Mana gripped the handle of Tamashii, ready to attack.
Death dissapeared, and the black fog cleared out aswell. Hichigo just stood there.
"Well what a dissapointment." He said.
"You okay?" Mana asked him.
"No, I'm death." Hichigo just laughed after he said that. "I'm kidding."
Mana laughed. "Nice one Hichigo~" she said happily.
"It strangly stopped my insanity too."
"Awesome!" she said.
Hichigo looked at his hands. "...But why do I look like this?"
"I really don't know..." she said. "Atleast it's over."
"Yeah..."
Mana smiled at him. "Wanna head back?" she asked.
Hichigo nodded and started to walk that way. Mana followed behind him.
"Death confused the hell outta me somehow." Mana thought.
Mana luaghed a little. "I don't think your insane side likes me very much." she said jokingly.
"Hah. I think it just wants to be in the driver's seat more often."
"Yeah." Mana replied.
Mana kept walking.
"Defentially been odd today, hasn't it?" Hichigo asked.
"Mhm, it has." Mana replied.
Hichigo smiled as he kept walking back to the barracks.
Mana smiled back at him and followed. Hichigo opened the door, and walked into the room. Mana went into the room aswell, and sat on the couch. Jay, despite being injured, ran up to Hichigo and hugged him.
"Careful Jay, you don't wanna mess up the bandaging." Mana said.
She responed with hugging Hichigo tighter.
"Hello there." Hichigo said cheerfully to Jay.
Mana smiled to herself as she watched them. Hichigo hugged Jay back shortly afterward. Hichigo hugged Jay a little tighter to comfort her.
Mana's smile grew wider, and thought How cute~
"...It really amazes me how much you guys like me even when I'm completely insane..." said Hichigo.
" Hichigo we will always like you. Even if you go insane, because we know the nicer side of ya." Mana said smiling.
Hichigo smiled, and said "I'm sort of tired."
"I don't blame yeh, I'd be tired aswell." Mana said.
"Jay, could you let go of me?" Hichigo asked her nicely.
Jay did as she was asked and Hichigo went to go sleep on the couch.
Mana started thinking, about nothing important really, just to pass time.
Jay walked over to Hichigo and sat down on the floor beside him. Ichigo walked in and sat on the floor by her.
"Mana, why does Hichigo trust you so much more than Ichigo?" Jay asked Mana.
"I dunno, I guess it's because...Um... I guess because I treated him diffrently, wasn't as scared or something." Mana said.
"Hmmm..." Jay fell ontop of Hichigo, but he didn't care. He was too tired.
Mana chuckled lightly, and smirked a bit.
Jay closed her eyes, and fell asleep ontop of Hichigo.
Mana sighed, and started to randomly play with Ichigo's hair.
"What're you doing Mana?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm bored, so I'm playing with your hair." Mana said.
Mana stoped and got up, with Ichigo giving her a confused look, she got into her corner and closed her eyes, tired.
Ichigo got up off the floor and went to sit at the desk, doing more paperwork.
