Bleach: Forgotten Memories

Chapter 1:The Dark Hood (Starts at episode 120)

Rangi, Captain Toshiro and Rangiku are all fighting the Arrancar right after Ikkaku defeated Edorad the Arrancar. Toshiro and the others are not winning and their Bankai's don't seem to be taking any effect on the three Arrancar's. Toshiro seems very tired and is out of breath and he just lost his last flower from his ice Bankai.

Shawlong Kufang: A Captain uses his Bankai like this? I am very disappointed… apparently I picked on the wrong one after all.

Captain Toshiro gets very angry as his Bankai melts. He looks behind himself and sees Rangiku on the floor not getting up and the other Arrancar Nakeem is still in good shape.

Toshiro: Rangiku… Damn…

(He looks back towards Shawlong Kufang)

Toshiro: I can still stop you!

Shawlong Kufang: Ha! Too bad it's too late… (The Arrancar moves and you aren't able to see him for a split second then appears halfway there in front of Toshiro and disappears again) Your Dead Already!

Toshiro is unable to move in time to stop Arrancar 11, but as Toshiro closes his eyes he doesn't feel any pain then opens them again. A person wearing a very dark hood was shielding Toshiro by blocking the Shawlong's attack using the hooded figure's arm. (And you are unable to see the hooded figure's face) Toshiro stands there in disbelief…

Toshiro: (Saying in his thoughts) How is this boy able to block this attack with his arm? Who is he? How is this possible? Is he on our side…or is he another Arrancar that is mad at him?

Shawlong who attacked Toshiro was so surprised that he was unable to stop hitting the hooded figures arm. The hooded figure grins clearly enjoying this.

Hooded Figure: (Pushes sword away using arm) Wow… an Arrancar like you can't continue a fight without standing there in disbelief? I thought you were better than that.

Shawlong Kufang: Who-Who-Who are you? (Shawlong Kufang backs up very angry)

Hooded Figure: Let's just say I don't even know… but one thing I do know is that no one defeats Toshiro except for me, he is a good friend of mine.

Toshiro: What are you talking about? I don't even know you!

Hooded Figure: (Turns around to Toshiro) So… then you really must have forgotten.

Toshiro looks very confused and Shawlong Kufang attacks the hooded figure but the hooded figure was too fast he blocked with his arm once again and quickly turns around and pushes the Arrancar.

Shawlong Kufang: I will defeat you!

Hooded Figure: Considering what your sword just did to my arm you shouldn't be talking.

Shawlong Kufang gets very angry.

Hooded figure: how about this…I will make you a deal. If you can get my hood off by the time we finish then well I will pull out my sword.

Shawlong Kufang: you are very different from others no one has fought with fists against me. You shouldn't lie about your weapons either you are weaponless!

Hooded Figure: You would be surprised of what fists can do.

The hooded figure disappears quickly then suddenly appears in front of Nakeem the Arrancar and punches him right in the stomach giving him a devastating hole in his stomach.

Hooded Figure: You see, Toshiro lesson #1: find your enemy's weakness… your too slow!

Nakeem falls onto the floor dead and Rangiku gets up very surprised unable to believe what just happened.

Toshiro: (In his head) Impossible! Who is this imposter! I couldn't ever defeat him with my sword! Telling the captain such foolish rules!

Shawlong Kufang: No! How dare you! I have no weaknesses! You little brat! You're not a Soul Reaper you should be fighting on our side!

Hooded Figure: I'll pass (Smiles) Your wrong again though! It's been nice fighting with you but I was hoping you would get my hood off… Rule #2: Never underestimate your enemy…

Shawlong Kufang: Too bad I will defeat you little boy!

Hooded Figure: You're the little boy! What kind of man doesn't know how to fight with fists…maybe…

The hooded Figure disappears for a second then appears in front of Shawlong Kufang and gives him a hard punch right towards his heart.

Hooded Figure: Your weakness is fists!

Shawlong Kufang falls to the ground dead and the Hooded Figure flash steps towards Toshiro.

Toshiro: I could have handled that myself…

Hooded Figure: He would have killed you

Toshiro: How did you know how to defeat them?

Hooded Figure: Oh… I was just really lucky, that's all. So you're still a good Captain, Toshiro.

Toshiro: How do I know you?

Hooded Figure: Let's just say you're a good old friend.

The hooded figure then flash steps to another building, above Toshiro, Rangiku, and Orihime.

Toshiro: Hey! Would you like to come with us to help Ichigo?

Hooded Figure: (Turns around to face Captain Toshiro) Don't worry about him, I know somebody who is going to help him out.

Toshiro: What do you mean is there more than one of you?

Hooded Figure: (Shakes his head) I work alone, I'm sorry but I must go.

The hooded figure flash steps in the distance from one building to another until he disappears in the distance. Toshiro stares after him very confused but still amazed at how powerful the hooded figure was. Toshiro jumps down the building and lands beside Orihime and Rangiku.

Rangiku: Sir, he had good timing if it weren't for him we would have been dead.

Toshiro: I'm a Captain I could have defeated him myself, he just got in my way that's all…we will have to do a report and discussion about this later. Anyways, is Rangi all right?

Rangiku: Yes, I gave him permission to use limit break a few moments ago and he defeated his Arrancar in a matter of seconds but Ururu but very injured trying to help him.

Orihime: Don't worry I will heal all of you, and everything will be allright.

Captain Toshiro turns towards the place where Ichigo is fighting and stares at it for a long moment.

Toshiro: I hope so.
