Chapter 1- Rage and Willpower
It was mid-afternoon in Karakura town. The doors to Urahara Shoten were closed and locked. On the door the sign read: CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Below the establishment, in the underground training facility, a battle raged with a rogue zanpakutou come to life.
Kisuke Urahara was holding his side, still bleeding from the wound that was inflicted by Benihime. The wound was small, but hurt quite a bit and was bleeding profusely since he was in the middle of fighting his katana, blood pumping heart racing.
His actual katana was left where it had fallen when Benihime woke. He had found that he could still use his shikai to produce his Chikasumi no Tate, to protect against her attacks.
As a materialized zanpakutou, Benihime was a fearsome beauty. Pale, white skin. Deep crimson red hair pulled away from her face. Her eyes were a pale, piercing green and she had a head piece with 2 tassels on the side, like on her hilt. Her sword arm was covered by a long red glove and her other by a long kimono sleeve. She wore a blood red corset that barely covered her ample breasts and an thin white obi sash, tied in a bow in the back with a long ribbons of the bow hanging down like a long tail. She had the same flower pattern on her hilt in her kimono sleeve and the tail of her bow.
She was wearing revealing bottoms, in that there was a small piece of red clothe that barely covered her. Her long, proud legs were perched on 6 inch heels that she maneuvered in like barefeet.
Kisuke was defending himself as best as he could from her aerial onslaught. Doing just enough, to stay in front of her while he tried to see what had brought her out. But each question was met with a murderous banshee like scream and an attacks that were getting stronger.
Her crimson colored energy lasts were raining down at him, he shunpoed out of the way, taking refuge behind a pillar of rocks. Kisuke took the moment to survey the situation that had quickly deteriorated. Jinta was out for that count and Ururu was badly injured. Tessai couldn't fight and protect the children as well.
" Just tell me what you want, my little princess," Kisuke yelled as sweetly as he could, from behind the rock. He was ducked down hand on his head holding his hat. His side still bleeding. "And I'll get it for you."
"HA!" she laughed cruelly. "I wonder will you still say that when you hear my request!"
"Let's find out. " He looked around he rock and up in the air where she had last been, she was gone. He moved just in time as her blade was behind him again. He heard the clinking of metal as it hit the rock just as he moved out of the way.
" You're very good at that." he said swinging at her.
Her mouth curled into a grin. "I know." She swung at him again releasing another wave of crimson energy blasts.
"Can't we talk this out, my love?" Kisuke says jokingly his blood mist shield in front of him, blocking her current attacks.
"If you'd hold still, this could all be over now,"
"I have plans for the rest of my life, so I can't to that,' he retorted, smirking holding the shied in place. She pressed more attacks on him non-stop, feeling his defenses weakening. Pushing him further and further back. Kisuke sunk to his knee still holding up his shied that was cracking under the pressure of Benihime's attack.
Benihime raised her katana for another blow when a barrier arose between she and Kisuke. Kisuke turned to see Tessai near, with the children casting a kido spell.
"Having someone fight for you again, Kisuke?" she asked scornfully.
Kisuke turned back, puzzled, looking at the beautiful cruel face of his zanpakutou, once his closest companion. Rage building in her again.
Looking derisively down on Kisuke as he knelt holding his bleeding wound. She said calmly. "Sing." and opening her mouth as if to do so, Kisuke instantly eyes wide in shock, doubled over in pain, falling back down to the ground.
"Boss!" Tessai yelled, seeing Urahara writhing in pain. "Boss! What's wrong! Whats happening!"
Kisuke's eyes were open, staring at Tessai, almost bulging from his head, blood dropping from the corners. His face was contorted, and his mouth gaping wide as his hands grasped at his throat. Benihime sent a crimson blast at Tessai, who erected a barrier to protect he and he children, his barrier in front of Kisuke dispelling. Benihime raised her sword again over the now helpless writhing Kisuke, now ready to strike.
"GETSUGA TENSHOU!" The res blast from Ichigo's zanpakutou, Zangetsu, barreled at Benihime knocking her all the way across he room into a pillar of rock that crashed down on her as she fell. this released whatever hold she had had on Kisuke, his body going limp.
"Urahara! Urahara!" Tessai shouted as he picked up the children, one under each arm and ran to his friend. " Kurosaki, thank you.' Tessai greeted him as he appeared beside him.
"What the hells going on here Tessai" Who the hell was that?" Ichigo demanded.
"Its the boss's zanpakutou, Benihime. she materialized." Tessai said absently tending to Kisuke, was had just passed out from the pain.
"What? When?" Ichigo continued to question.
"Just moments ago."
"But Muramasa's dead."
"We know. The boss doesn't understand how this happened."
" You take Jinta and Ururu and get outta here. Ill take Urahara." Ichigo said leaning to pulling Kisuke s arm around his shoulder. Tessai nodded and immedialty took of to the exit of the training room. Ichigo lifted up Kisuke s limp body and positioned it so he could carry him out.
"Just where the fuck do you think you're going, boy?" Benihime s furious voice said coming from the rubble.
"Leave the coward here, and I'll let you leave." She said coolly emerging from the wreckage.
" I dont know what going on here or how you appeared, but Urahara's my friend ad I wont let you kill him."
"Ah, isn't that sweet, Kurosaki, " Kisuke said pleasantly, as he raised his head with a weak smile. " I didn't know you cared."
"Kisuke.." Ichigo looked at him worried.
" Just leave her to me." Kisuke said trying to gather him self and stand.
" You're in no condition-."Ichigo tried to steady his sometimes mentor.
"Ichigo, really" Kisuke said seriously, "You have no Idea whats she capable of."
"Neither do you, Kisuke!" Benihime shouted, taking to the air and waving her katana. Red energy blasts flew at them again.
"TSUGI NO MAI, HAKUREN!" A wave of ice shoots past Kisuke and Ichigo, engulfing the red energy blast and almost Benihime. Benihime, appears the wave of ice and loks down in disbelief. She see a a short dark haired shinigami in the distance, in a defensive stance. Before Benihime can react.
"SING!"
"GETSUGA TENSHO!"
The attacks came at her from both sides. She was just able to shield herself from one, coming from Ichigo, but Kisuke's attack hit her full on and she tumbled to the ground.
Before the dust cleared, the wounded Benihime swooped thru the dust and heed straight for Rukia and the exit.
"Don't let her escape!" Kisuke shouted.
Benihime wouldn't be contained and sent out an energy blast before her to clear her path. Rukia was barely able to dodge out the way.
Ichigo shunpoed in front of the fleeing katana, just as she was reaching the exit.
"The gentleman would like to have a word with you," Ichigo said mockingly. Zangetsu in front of him ready to slash at her. Ichigo was on the attack now. Benihime was injured and bleeding, she couldnt use her right arm. And in her weakened unstable state , she as finding it hard to hold of Ichigo.
Wait. She thought. I know this boy. The orange hair, the black cape. He's the one!
"YOU! YOU!" she screamed ferociously, then the scream got increasingly louder as Benihime began to cry tears of blood. The sound was so excruciating, that Ichigo had to cover his ears with his hands from the deafening noise, he was about to lose consciousness, with Benihime moving to take a swing at him, but Sode no Shirayuki appeared beside Ichigo
"HAKUREN." she said softly, scowling at the other female zanpakutou. Benihime dodged out of the way, but another Hakuren attack whizzed by her from behind and she looked back to see Rukia with Kisuke, on her shoulder, heading back her way.
Benihime fled through the open exit. Ichigo slumped in Sode no arm. Ad she carried him down to that bottom of the training room.
"Ichigo!" Rukia exclaimed, as Sode no Shirayuki came over with him. Kisuke settle on a rock as Rukia went to Ichigo.
"I"M FINE! I'M FINE!" Ichigo shouted.
"Why are you shouting, you idiot, I'm right next to you !" Rukia shouted back at him angrily
"WHAT!" Ichigo shouted again.
"You idiot stop shouting at me!" Rukia said punching him in the head
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" Ichigo, still shouting , said rubbing his head.
"Its her attack," Kisuke said calmly.
"Hmm?" Rukia replied looking at the wincing Kisuke.
"WHAT!" Ichigo began. Rukia covered, Ichigo's mouth with her hand and covered her mouth with her finger, indicating for him to be quiet.
"Its her attack, his hearing is affected. He should be find in a few hours since she wasn't able to complete it." Kisuke croaked out.
"Urahara, what the hell's going on!" Ichigo screamed. Rukia and Sode no Shirayuki shook their heads.
Kisuke chuckled at the spiky headed kid not realizing how silly he sounded. "I wish I -.." Kisuke fell over face down. Rukia and Ichigo ran over to him.
"He's just passed out." Rukia said relieved.
"Lets find Tessai, so we can figure out whats going on."
