Author's note: Had this on my mind for a while...
"The German brothers I'm assuming?"
A little girl laid in the sand on the beach, the early morning rays of the sun shining on her pale features. Her eyes were left open, the blank blue jewels lost in space. Her blonde hair was stained with blood, the stench immense. There was nothing more revolting than the blood smeared on her thighs, leaving no doubt the beasts had raped her. Ichigo put a handkerchief to his nose before kneeling down next to her body, touching a finger to her chin and turning her head. The letter G was burned into her neck just above her bites to show her owners, Ichigo frowning behind his minor protection.
"Yes. And from the bruising left behind, not that long ago." Ichigo stood, sighing as he lowered his handkerchief. He turned to a blonde haired man, his brown eyes looking to him with anger and sadness. Ichigo knew, for many of them it hurt to see something like this, for their own species to be brought down so low. For him though, this was his life.
"Call Yoruichi and tell her to get a track on them. This was not only feeding but rape. Have them exterminated." The blonde haired man left, Ichigo sighing softly.
Renji, one of his trusted allies walked up beside him, his nose scrunching up at the foul stench.
"How can you tell it is rape? The blood on her thighs could have dropped from their mouths," he inquired, everyone looking to them to see if Ichigo could prove him wrong. Ichigo leaned down, putting the handkerchief over his nose as he lifted her skirt. Her pelvic area had collapsed into itself as ash all the way up to her belly button, Renji looking away with a hiss. A few people pulled out crosses, a newbie vomiting onto the ground. It was disgusting, but it was just another part of death. Ichigo looked to her face, looking at the marks on her neck.
"If I am correct in my analysis, she was awake when this happened," Ichigo whispered, rising up when the smell became too overwhelming.
"Why in god's name…" Renji whispered, Ichigo looking to him. Renji had been in the occult a lot longer than he had, but he was not surprised it bothered him. It wasn't everyday they had a case like this. Or for Renji at least.
"It's to prevent an interbreeding of species. Vampires sperm is potent and can impregnate a woman within a few seconds. To prevent it, the pelvic area and insides are burned." Renji took out a camera, slowly winding it back.
"It's sickening," he growled, Ichigo looking back to the girl's face.
"It's just another part of death. Take the picture." Renji lifted the camera to his eye, pressing the button. Her body erupted into flames, everyone watching as she burned slowly down into a pile of ash.
"She had turned." Renji stated softly, Ichigo looking away from it as he put the handkerchief to his nose. Whenever a body turned and a picture was taken, the body burned away. A vampire cannot be seen in a picture or a mirror because it had already burned in the pits of hell so its image doesn't exist. A turned human vampire just burns, their soul locked in hell forever.
The picture came out of the slot, Renji shaking it lightly as the picture slowly shown on the paper. There was nothing there but sand.

"Holy Lord, praise upon as we goeth to slay thy demon upon our own." Ichigo listened to the prayer Yamamoto spoke, his gruff voice a low whisper. Ichigo and two others stood in front of him, their heads bowed and their hands over their hearts. The prayer was a blessing, hope that an angel would guide their souls if they were to be killed. There was no plea for protection, for angels were merely in spirit and could only guide and protect the spirit of others, not the flesh.
Vampires could take both.
"Amen," the all spoke at once when he finished the prayer, all three of them standing straight in front of Yamamoto. His eyes that he never seemed to open looked over them, Ichigo taking in a deep breath.
"Before you all leave, go to the labs for your check ups." All three bowed, leaving the room.
"I hope when I slice open the poor bastards throat he chokes on his own ash," Renji growled, Ichigo looking to him. Rukia put a hand to his shoulder, Renji looking to her.
"Do not hate, Renji. The angels can not protect a soul full of hate," Rukia told him, Ichigo wanting to roll his eyes.
He did not believe in those things anymore than he believed in santa. He knew there was a heaven, he had seen it once as a child. But, angels did not protect or guide his soul. His mother's soul did, right before it was dragged into the depths of hell. He started to shake a little as he felt cold, Rukia looking to his hand that shook at his side.
"Ichigo?" She called, Ichigo clenching his hand into a fist. He did not speak of his thoughts to her, just giving a her a small smile.
"I am fine," he told her, Rukia giving him a worried glance. He did not need her worry, pushing open the heavy lab doors. A million people walked about, Ichigo looking around. He felt hungry, his stomach growling softly. Renji smirked, punching his shoulder.
"Did you not eat this morning?" He asked, Ichigo looking to him.
"I did. It's just my hunger is never sated like your need for women's underwear." Renji laughed, Ichigo cracking a smirk himself. They were led into separate rooms separated by thin walls, Ichigo laying on an examination bed, lifting up his sleeve when the nurse told him too.
"You have been avoiding your shots," Unohana told him, Ichigo rolling his eyes, a frown pulling down his lips.
"I don't need that shit," he told her, Unohana giving him a smile. Ichigo shrunk back a little, her cold hands touching against his forearm gently as she looked for a vein.
"The shot is to protect you incase you get bitten Ichigo. It should not be taken lightly." Ichigo gave her a sharp glare when she rubbed an alcohol swab against his inner elbow.
"Renji nor Rukia are given the shot. Why just me?" He asked, Unohana pushing in the needle lightly, Ichigo wincing a little from the small sting of pain.
"Because they're bodies can reject vampire venom. They can create antibodies against it since they come from pure bloodlines from the occult. You, Ichigo, do not."
It was the same speech he had been told since the first day he came here. He was not as pure as the other people here since he was merely picked off from the street, or at least that was how they put it. He did not have the antibodies others had, he could not fight off the bites affects, a mere fish in a sea of sharks. But, he had just as much power, and earned respect from everyone faster than he had anticipated. He sighed softly, the green goo burning beneath his flesh.
His hunger went away.

"I have them in my sights." Ichigo kneeled perched on a rooftop, watching Rukia as she tracked the twin boys. No one knew their names, but from accent alone it was obvious they were German. So, they were referred to as the German brothers. They usually stayed dormant, only feeding from the safe houses the occult had created for them. Ichigo thought it was a waste of blood, wishing they could just kill them like he had seen in the movies as a child.
The main elders were not human though, vampires themselves who had saw the wrong in their ways. They did not feed on human blood, animal blood their main diet. But, the others who had yet to see the wrong in their ways drank the blood from humans, so lost in their insanity that they did not care for their pain. Ichigo believed they should not feed them. Feeding a homeless cat will only make it come back.
He stood when Renji blocked their exit, the brother's laughter ceasing. They looked behind them, Rukia unsheathing her sword.
"German brother's you are to be exterminated for the unholy feeding and rape of a young girl. How do you plead?" Ichigo watched, his hand twitching for his own sword when one of the brothers chuckled.
"Guilty madam. Though, before we leave this earth, I do dare say, your body looks just good enough to devour. The little girl was too ripe." Ichigo looked to Renji when he unsheathed his sword, the other brother looking to him.
"You seem just fine too. How you doing sexy?"
Ichigo jumped down when Renji attacked, the complete opposite of what they had planned. They could not leave a bloody mess behind, that would only lead to an investigation from the local cops. They could not have that. His sword blocked his just as his feet touched the ground, his cloak falling down behind him as the brothers raised their eyebrows while Renji's eyes widened in surprise.
"Control Renji."
Renji tried to push him away, Ichigo hitting the back of his head with the hilt of his sword. Renji fell to the ground, unconscious. One of the brothers shivered, Ichigo looking to him with narrowed eyes.
"You make me so hot and bothered. I think I like you more." Ichigo caught the brother by the throat when he ran towards him, his eyes going wide when Ichigo's sword ran straight through his gut.
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil." The brother screamed as Ichigo's sword started to glow, his twin running towards him only to be intercepted by Rukia, who brought out her bible.
"In the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost, I bind you." Chains appeared around him, locking him in place.
"You bitch!" he roared, his brother's screams becoming louder when Ichigo turned his sword inside his gut.
Ichigo narrowed his eyes, turning his sword one more time. The brother's screams stopped, his eyes wide as the skin of his cheeks started to smoke, slowly blistering as Ichigo finished his prayer.
"In the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost, I banish you from this earth. Amen."
His last scream sounded like the screech of a monster as he erupted into flames and burned to ground into a pile of ash, Ichigo getting out a napkin to clean his sword as Rukia stood in front of the last brother. Ichigo turned away.
"Finish him."
"You monsters!" He roared with a voice that sounded far from human, Rukia touching the hilt of her sword to his forehead. He screamed when her sword started to glow, Rukia closing her eyes.
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not wan-"
Rukia stopped suddenly, Ichigo looking to her. His eyes widened when he saw a hand around her throat, her sword falling to the ground as she gasped for breath.
"For my brother you whore!" Ichigo ran over, slicing his sword down. The german screamed, his hand falling to the ground. Rukia fell to the ground, gasping for breath as Ichigo stabbed the boys throat. He gasped, blood pouring down his chin as he tried feebly to breathe. Ichigo's sword started to glow, the vampires eyes widening.
"The Earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell within. In the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost, I banish you from this earth. Amen." With a hellish scream his body erupted in flames, Ichigo pulling his sword away, the body falling to the ground in a pile of ash. Ichigo panted from using so much of his power in such a short time frame, stabbing the hand that tried to grab his ankle. It turned into ash, Ichigo looking behind himself to Rukia.
She was at Renji's side, helping him to his feet. Ichigo walked over, grabbing his collar and pulling him close, Rukia gasping when he was snatched from her grasp.
"I had given you your orders Renji. You could have gotten us all killed!" Ichigo growled, Renji looking to the pile of ash behind them. Ichigo let him go, Renji stumbling back a little.
"They-"
"You do not let your feelings control your actions!" Ichigo barked, Renji silence. He panted, Ichigo able to tell he was angry.
"We are all angry about what they have done Renji, we all wish to act and think later. But, risking the lives of your squad was unacceptable!"
"Ichigo go easy, he just let it get to him. How can we be calm in this anarchy?" Rukia asked, Ichigo looking sharply to her.
"There is no such thing as calmness. Not in the reality we were dealt." He looked back to Renji, taking out his handkerchief and wiping the blood off his blade.
"Why are you so bitter?" Rukia asked as Renji picked up his sword, sheathing it before turning away. Ichigo looked to his retreating form.
"In the world with little faith, there is no bitterness, no calm before the storm. Only life and death."
