I decided to make this, because it's been killing me to see what his Bankai was. And yes, I know there must be many of these type of stories, but I want to make it anyway. Nothing here is meant as any sort of parring so don't say it is.
I don't own anything here. Sorry for the grammar.
Chapter 1
When Kensei said they'd train, this was not what Shuhei thought.
"If you don't want to die, you better use your Bankai!"
"How can I use what I don't have?!" Hisagi yelled and got to his feet, holding his stomach. Damn, Mashiro knew how to punch.
"Don't lie!" the Captain yelled back as the 'super' Lieutenant kicked again.
This time however, the 'sub' Lieutenant evaded and jumped back. "I'm not laying!" and he dodged again.
"I know you can use it! You just don't want to! The power is in your soul, only if you dared to use it!"
That took the boy by surprise only for a moment, but it was enough for Mashiro to kick him in the side and sent him flying into a tree.
Groaning, Shuhei tried to stand up, but found the world spinning when he did. Not to mention his back and head were screaming in pain.
"Look at you! Pathetic!" he heard someone hiss, but it was no the Captain. "Man, really? How stupid are you? How can you forget me?!"
"Shut up… I don't need that… from you…" the brunet managed to bark back and get on his feet.
He then noticed the older two staring at him as if he grew another head. "Kid… you alright?" the white-haired man's voice carried slight worry. No matter what he said, he still cared for him, even if he didn't show it.
"Oh my gosh! I think I kicked him too hard! He has brain damage!" the second in command girl panicked and put her hand over her mouth.
"See? They're makin' fun of ya. Are ya just gonna stand there and take it? Or will ya actually fight back?" the voice came again.
"I don't care about that!" Hisagi hissed and glared at the side, where a figure was taking shape.
It was thin, well-toned dark with light blue eyes and long black hair, which reaches down to his lower back. It wore dark gray strips of cloth around his neck and shoulders, his wrists, and his lower body, and wears gray boots with curled toes.
But, only one of the three could see him, as well as hear his taunting.
"What's the point of havn' that thing, if you never use it?" Kazeshini nodded to the Zanpakutō around his master's side.
There was no answer, and the Visoreds shared a look. Kensei might have said they'd kill him, but that was only so he would use his Bankai.
"Maybe we should-" the green-haired girl mumbled when they felt a sudden change in the near Spiritual Pressure as the words: "Reap… Kazeshini!" were spoken.
"Finally… There is hope for you yet, master," the spirit vanished as Shuhei held out his Zanpakutō and it changed from a katana to a pair of Kusarigama.
"Wait… Just his Shikai? What about Bankai?" the girl tilted her head and put a finger on her cheek.
Magurame smirked and said: "That's impressive to be honest. He hardly uses it, even when fighting stronger enemies. Don't take him lightly, Mashiro."
The 'super' Lieutenant looked the 'sub' into the eyes, and felt a chill run down her spine. It was as if he became someone else when fighting. And his eyes clearly showed he didn't plan on holding back anymore.
"Right. I'll just beat him up a little," she would've stuck her tongue out if she didn't have the mask on as she charged.
"I don't agree with you, but I can't let myself be this weak… Don't think this changes how I see you…" Hisagi whispered and brought his weapons to eye level.
"Yeah, yeah… I just don't get why ya still follow what that old Captain of yours said… He betrayed and tried to kill ya but you keep seein' him as a hero. The hell's up with that?" the spirit sounded agitated.
"You wouldn't understand. And we don't have time for that now. Get ready!"
A few moments later, the dual weapons connected and blocked a kick from Mashiro as she giggled: "Ohhhhh, things are finally going to get fun!"
She used her free leg to try and kick Shuhei in the side of the head, but her foot got caught with the chain from the scythe.
The 'sub' then pulled on the chain and brought the 'super' to the ground. The girl was too shocked to be able to react fully in time, but managed to use her hand to grab onto the chain and bring the brunet down as well.
It only took a moment for both Lieutenants to jump to their feet and flash step away from the battle ground. Neither showed any signs of exhaustion, and seemed to be ignoring the scratches they had.
"He's not fighting for real… Damn what will it take for him to get serious?!" Magurame gritted his teeth and stepped forward. "What do you think you're doing kid?!" he shouted.
"Kensei?" Kuna blinked at his outburst, while Hisagi loosened his grip on the weapon. "I told you to fight as if we were going to kill you! There's no holding back during battle! If you show ANY of them mercy, you're as good as dead! They'll take it for granted and in the slightest opening, they're going to kill you!"
The boy turned his gaze to the ground and gritted his teeth. "I know… I know that! But I can't just turn my back on everything I've learned!"
"Damn it kid! You don't even realize how important this is!"
"I do realize! But what you're asking of me is the same as if asking a Hollow not to devour Humans!"
There was a heavy silence as both men looked into the others eyes, determine to have it their way.
After a few minutes of that, the Captain sighed and put his hand on his face, before looking at the Lieutenant again.
"Look… I know this is pretty hard on you… You looked up to Kaname, but at the same time you wanna do the right thing. Kaname's way would have you fear your own power and try to use it as less as possible. But the right way… or more the needed way at the moment is for you to accept that and fight with everything you've got. If you pick one, you forsake the other. I know I can't change your mind easily, so it's up to you… Just know that Tosen is dead, while your friends are still alive."
Another silence as Hisagi was processing what he was told. Hold onto his old master's ways or accept the power and protect your friends… It might have seemed an easy choice, but to Shuhei, it was almost impossible.
"Jeez… I know this ain't much of my business, but you have to do it. If you don't, you'll probably regret it for the rest of your life… as long as that'll last."
Closing his eyes tight and gritting his teeth, the brunet firmly gripped the Kusarigama and said: "Alright… I'll do it. I'll achieve Bankai."
The two Visoreds smiled as Kensei said: "Glad to know you agreed. Now fight her full on, as if you want to kill her. Because if you don't she'll break all your bones."
"Just don't blame me if you lose a leg."
The green-head laughed and flash stepped right before the boy, aiming for his chest with a kick.
But Shuhei used one blade to block, while bringing the other from the side, towards her neck. But when she wanted to get back, her leg was tangled up with the chain, restraining her movement, so she evaded just by a hair backwards.
She pulled on the chain, trying to break free or get it out of the boy's hand, but it did little good, as he held it tight. Not wasting time, Hisagi spun around, dragging Mashiro along as well, and released the hold the chain had, letting the girl fly off into a tree, breaking it down.
She groaned slightly before sitting up and rubbing her leg, where the chain was wrapped around. "I hate that thing… Can't use my kicks properly…" she whined.
"Kensei~" her voice was childish as she removed her mask. "I don't wanna fight him like that… It's your turn."
Sighing, the Captain said: "Fine… But you'll work double instead of the kid," he then took a hold of his Zanpakutō as his spiritual pressure started rising as he released it, speaking: "Blow them away Tachikaze!"
A gale of wind spun around him, before the sword changed into a combat knife with a light purple hilt, gray leather grip, and a small ring on the guard.
"Ready kid?" he asked and when he nodded, Kensei charged forward, as clashes of metal were heard.
Mashiro only watched as the two men fought each other, blocking the other's attack, flash stepping out of a fetal blow or getting into a still-lock with their weapons fighting to push the other away.
"He really is good with his Shikai, using only that to stand up to Kensei. Can't wait to see his Bankai," Kuna giggled as she watched the flashes.
There wasn't any huge advantage one had over the other, only that Shuhei would at times be slightly knocked off balance when blocking.
Then things suddenly became very quiet when they both stopped attacking and stood on opposite sides, panting.
"Man… you really are good… Don't see why you didn't take the Captain spot…" Magurame wiped the sweat from his chin.
"I felt like I didn't deserve it…" Hisagi tore off a piece of his shihakushō (squad uniform) and wrapped it around the wound on his arm.
"What do you say… that we get serious?" they both straightened their stances as the Captain smirked.
"You don't mea-" but he was cut off by the words: "Bankai - Tekken Tachikaze!" as an explosion of wind erupted around Kensei.
When it cleared, Tachikaze transformed into a pair of large knuckle blades which Kensei held in each hand.
"And this ain't all!" he then reached with his hand to his face as spiritual pressure started to gather and a mask appeared.
It's a two chapter thing, so... Review will you? =3=
