Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Game that felt like a bad filler mini-arc turned into a fanfic
The Sōkyoku had been destroyed to save Rukia life during her rescue. After the dust had settled and bitter battles had come to an end and new even more bitter battles reared their head, a short time of peace had occupied the soul society.
"Ichigo" said Yoruichi as she decent from a tree branch in front of the tired warrior. He was deep in slumber. "Ichigo?" Yourichi continued asking as she poked the sleeping specter.
"What?" barked the now awake reaper.
"Oh you're up. Is that little tent you're pitching from dreams about me?"
"Ah! I didn't, I mean I swear it's a normal thing that happens. No wait I didn't meant it like that! ugh!" said the red faced teen
"hahahaha naughty boy"
"W…why did you come here anyway?"
Taking a face that could tension anyway moment, Yoruichi continued "Head Captain Yamamoto has ordered the closing of the gate to the human world for a hundred years. He fears that Aizen might use it to enter soul society.
"One…hundred…years!? If I wait that long, I would already belong here anyway!"
"The Sōkyoku has the power of over 1,000 Zanpakutō, if one was to collect all the shards of the Sōkyoku he could force open the gate."
"Hear you loud and clear, collect the shards and be on my way" a silver lining had taken residence on his words as he spoke.
Ichigo quickly hopped off into the sunset with a renewed sense of purpose as Yoruichi remained there looking at him fly off. He strode from wall to building as he slowly came to a discovery.
"How the hell am I supposed to find those things!? I mean I know there is a lot of spirit power coming from them, but with all the zanpakutō's running around here, finding shards of one is impossible."
As if on cue, something caught Ichigo's eye that soon engulfed his other senses. It shined bright in the sun light, and its spirit power was frightful.
"Ha! Finding these things are gonna be a piece of cake"
Ichigo swooped down to pick up the shard only to jump back to save his hand from the business end of a Zanpakutō. As Ichigo looked up to see who nearly removed his hand, he is immediately filled with nostalgia. Renji stood with Zabimaru released, staring at Ichigo with eyes of that of a wild dogs.
"Ichigo, why have you turned on us!?" Renji screamed with disappointment and depression laced in.
"What?...What the hell are you talking about?"
Renji looked around quickly, then he turns towards the sky and shouts "Don't answer for him, he not the kind of idiot who would hurt his friends."
"What the fuck are you talking about Renji?" Ichigo lifts his Zanpakutō into a fighting stance, a mystery to Ichigo himself.
A sigh was let out by Renji as he swung Zabimaru horizontally, causing the balde to extend past its normal reach, "This is for your own good, Ichigo!"
Ichigo jumped in the air to avoid the swing "Renji, what the hell!?" Ichigo then shot down towards with his hands upon Zangetsu, ready to strike.
Renji jumped back and quickly countered by swinging Zabimaru diagonally, as if it were a whip. "You Dunce!"
Ichigo blocks Zabimaru with Zangetsu and pushing the blade back. "Renji! Stop this"
"Ichigo! Wake up!" Renji strode toward Ichigo about to swing Zabimaru down vertically.
"Getsuga Tenshō!" A blue wave of energy shot forth from Ichigo's swing, striking Renji and shooting him back upon his ass.
Silence befuddled the two as Renji struggled to get up."Give up!"
"Not until I pay back the favor I owe you" screamed Renji as his spiritual energy climaxed "Bankai!" Hihiō Zabimaru was soon wrapped around his host after the smoke had cleared.
"Renji! You really want me to finish this don't you!"
"No, I just want to stop you!" Renji swung Hihiō Zabimaru, so that its snake head stormed towards Ichigo.
Ichigo stood still until he suddenly heard these devilish words whispered in his ear "If you can beat Byakuya, he is no match for you" Ichigo shot forward with lightening speed cutting throw the snake head and Renji's side as if he were a mad man.
"It's over Renji" He whispered as Renji fell back.
"I'm….sorrry…..Ichigo…."Renji mumbled as he lost consciousness.
Ichigo slowly got to his feet and picked up the Sōkyoku shard. "Why did Renji care so much about this? And why am I so sad even though all I did was knock him out? What the hell is going on here!?"
