Death would've been an easy option. But who said Ichigo ever took the easy option? He was stubborn, he knew this now. Zangetsu whispered to him "'Rise and fight little one, if you were this weak I would not allow you to wield me. So Ichigo gathered his reiatsu and stood up. Ichigo's opponent wore a hood over his face and he was stronger then many Ichigo had ever met.
Ichigo's opponent had his back to Ichigo, but when he felt an incredible reiatsu behind him he turned slowly. To see Ichigo's clothing torn and soaked with blood. Ichigo chuckled and said quite forcedly "Is that all you got? Show me your face!" Ichigo's opponent slowly dropped his hood revealing a face with many fetures of other death gods. He had Ukitate's white hair and Renji's red hair, but that was all Ichigo could recognise. His opponent spoke "I was genetically created although I don't know who by, for when I was born I was alone. I received orders through a voice that somehow had connections to my mind. I was created in pods 13 but you can call me Shin. Oh and the person who seriously injured Kuchiki Rukia and Abarai Renji was me"
Ichgo's eyes darkened, Zangetsu could feel his urged to fight and Ichigo could feel Zangetsu's restlessness. 'I WILL KILL YOU!" roared Ichigo as he charged forward in anger.
