Chapter 2: Arrogance
The hood from the man flipped back revealing his face. He had long, blue hair and a scar going across his face. The man grunted pain as Ichigo let go of his sword with a smirk on his face. The man jumped back several feet and skidded to a halt and put a hand over his wound. This gave Ichigo time to look for his body, but he didn't see it. Did my shinigami form switch with my human form? He asked himself, but he gave himself too much time and felt a sharp pain across his chest. The man had closed the distance and used his sword on the orange haired shinigami. The blade ripped his shihakusho revealing some of his chest. It wasn't deep, but it hurt and Ichigo cursed himself for letting his guard down. He put a hand over his wound and went to examine it. Just a scratch, man I still got it even after a whole year and five months.
He heard his hollow speak; he could just imagine the smirk on his bleach white counterpart. At that point he took his stance and readied himself for the man he was facing. "Hey Saix, I got the two gir- HOLY SHIT! Is the kid seriously kicking your ass Saix?!" Xigbar said hold Ichigo's two unconscious sisters. Ichigo's eyes narrowed and he went to take out the man, but was stopped by a new comer with a guitar like weapon. "Out of my way, or you might not live through the next five minutes." Ichigo said, killer intent pouring out of him. The new black hooded figure jumped back and started to strum his weapon.
"Let's see if you like this." He said in a mischievous tone. Creatures made from water began to form and dance around the shinigami. Ichigo sighed and unleashed an unnamed Getsuga, destroying the creatures. Or so he thought. The guitar playing figure strumming more and more notes creating more creatures, which Ichigo was getting annoyed at. "I told you to move, but now it's your funeral." He had't done this in all that time he was a shinigami, using just his spiritual pressure he threw the new comer to the ground.
"Not a single one of you can take me on and win, so let my sisters go and I might spare you." Ichigo said with a calm, but threatening demeanor. The figure, who Ichigo still couldn't figure out whether it was a man or woman even with the voice, shuddered in fear.
Ichigo then got behind the figure via shunpo and went to attack, aiming for the person's head. Only to stopped, yet again by another black hooded figure. "You're quite the puzzle, Kurosaki Ichigo. First you were powerless and then your old powers return to you with…How do I put this? Upgrades." The figure that blocked Ichigo had the most interesting weapons yet. His were made of pure energy. They were in the shape of white cylindrical bars, outlined in red.
Ichigo growled and tried to push the man back, but found that he couldn't. What the hell? He won't budge, Ichigo thought to himself. "Fine, if you won't move through sheer strength, I guess I'll have to step it up a notch." Ichigo began to push his spirit energy into Zangetsu and broke the deadlock between the two. "GETSUGA TENSHOU!" He cried out releasing the energy inside his blade. The man, who Ichigo assumed to be the leader since he seemed stronger than the rest of them, stood there and right before the crescent shaped wave hit, the man used his weapon and knocked it out of the way.
Ichigo smirked and readied himself once more. "Looks like you're no push over. I'm gonna have fun kicking your ass." Ichigo stated, the smirk turning into a wide grin. The man stayed silent and charged Ichigo.
Ichigo parried the first weapon, and blocked the second, and then Ichigo started to attack the man with a flurry of slashes. Only the man kept dodging evey one of the attacks. Damn it, how can he dodge them all? It's like he knows how I attack, but how can he predict an attack that is unpredictable? At that moment the man disappeared and on instinct Ichigo went to protect his back, but was slashed in his chest and kicked back sending him into a wall. The man quickly appeared in front of Ichigo and stabbed him in the stomach. SHIT! Ichigo grunted in pain and felt that the weapons were burning him on the inside. The slash on his chest wasn't much better, the man had cut deep and blood was slowly pumping out of the wound.
"Xigbar, Saix, take the girls and leave, now." The man told the two.
"What about me, boss man?" the other hooded figure asked.
"You may leave as well." Ichigo saw the person nod and with that the three created separate portals and left with Karin and Yuzu.
"Hey get back here you bastards! I'm not done with you!" Ichigo growled, but felt the weapon in his stomach go deeper. He grunted again and heard the man say something to him.
"You were arrogant to think you could beat me without your full strength." With that he waved a hand and the black creatures from before and white creatures with zippers on their mouth appeared.
"Destroy everything." The man commanded.
Ichigo's eyes widen and he tried to get up, but he was kicked in the chest hard enough to break a couple of ribs. He was losing consciousness, he didn't know why though, he had taken worse damage and still stood strong. So why now of all times was he passing out? He had to get up and stop those things from destroying his town. "Now sleep, we will meet again and at that time I hope you will have gained more strength." He heard the man say before darkness enveloped him.
Ichigo was on a stained glass platform, this time it had a boy in a red jumpsuit and a black and white short sleeve hoody. What got his attention was what was in the boy's hand. Is that a giant ass key?! Ichigo thought comically.
"Hello, Ichigo," Ichigo turned around and saw a girl around sixteen, maybe seventeen, in a mid thigh length white dress. She had shoulder length blonde hair, pale skin, ice blue eyes, and was, well cute. "You're probably wondering what's happening right? Maybe even thinking 'Why were my sisters' takien?' am I co-" she was cut as Ichigo appeared in front of her, his eyes bleeding black and his irises changing to an amber yellow. "What do you know about their kidnapping?" He asked letting out his hollowfied voice. The girl looked at him with fear and awe. Before she could answer she heard someone shout "Blizzaga!"
Ichigo jumped back in time to see a blue sphere fly past him. "Stay away from her!" A female voice demanded. He looked to his left to see a young woman about his age or so with pale blue hair. She had a blue and white weapon that looked almost like a…"IS THAT A GIANT ASS KEY?!" Ichigo shouted. The two girls were taken back by the question. The blonde started to giggle and the blue haired girl puffed her cheeks out and glared at him.
"Ichigo allow me to introduce ourselves," The blonde began. "My name is Namine," Namine, then pointed to the blue haired girl. "And this is my friend Aqua."
Ichigo gave the two a once over judging their strength. The blonde, Namine, didn't seem to be strong, but she could be holding back. The blue haired girl was probably around a Lieutenants' or low Captain strength level. If he had to he could most likely knock them out and-
Then what king run in the darkness for all of eternity? Yeah I'd rather not.
Ichigo sighed as his hollow was right he might as well listen to what they had to say if talking was what they were going to do. "Nice to meet you," He said and looked over to Namine. "…Sorry if I scared you, I'm just a bit worked up." He apologized looking down at his feet. She smiled and nodded, understanding his predicament.
"It's fine, I realized I came and started to state the most obvious thing a bit sudden. So I'm sorry as well." She told him. Aqua calmed and gave him a look of understanding. She also for some odd reason began to look at his chest and saw a coupleof the scars of past battles and the new slashes of the battle he just had.
"Let me take a look at you." She simply said.
Ichigo hesitated a bit, but went over to the blue haired girl. Both she and the blonde were gorgeous, and he began to stare at her breast and legs. Aqua had well toned legs and an above average bust size, as ichigo noticed. Aqua noticed that he was checking her out and she blushed. "Stop looking at me like that and let me heal you." She said with a slightly annoyed look. Ichigo snapped out of his stare and went to let her heal him, his face red as a beet. Namine went over to the two of them and began to explain some things.
"Ichigo, do you know why you're here?" She asked in a gentle tone. He shook his head indicating that he didn't. "It's because your world was swallowed by the darkness, that pendant you're wearing," She pointed to the black heart pendant around his neck. "It is currently taking you to a new world. It is doing so by using the darkness." Aqua was listening as she began to use a Curaga spell to heal the hole in Ichigo's stomach. Ichigo had forgotten about his wounds for a moment, but finally felt them and grunted. "Why am I just now feeling the pain from my wounds?" He didn't care that he was travelling via darkness, couldn't be much worse than traveling through a garganta, but how exactly was the pendant sending him to a new world? Another thing was, THERE ARE OTHER WORLDS?!
"How is it that the pendant is sending me through the darkness to a new world? The last thing I remember was losing consciousness and then I was here."
Namine pointed at Zangetsu with a smile. "What does Zangetsu have to do with it?" He asked even more confused this time.
"I have everything to do with your transportation, Ichigo." A deep male voice stated.
"Old man is that you? Where are you? Old man show yourself." Ichigo was looking all around for the spirit of his zanpakuto.
"I am right here Ichigo, you have yet to open your eyes and heart to my sight." The voice said.
Ichigo stood still and closed his eyes taking a deep breath. Soon the darkness around the three started to dissipate and was replace by a sideways world of skyscrapers. When Ichigo opened his eyes he saw a figure in a black cloak and had a pair of orange shades. The figure was a man with black shoulder length, wavy hair. Ichigo smiled at the man. "It's good to see you Old Man."
"And you as well, Ichigo." The man, now revealed to be Zangetsu, replied
"Aren't you forgetting something, King?" A chilling and echoing voice that sounded similar to Ichigo's asked.
Ichigo turned around to see a bleach white version of himself, with a photonegative version of Zangetsu. His white counterpart had a wide mischievous grin. Ichigo gave the hollow a smirk, showing he was no longer afraid of him. "Hope you know the next time you try and take over, you will have some issues. One being me stomping your face into the ground." Ichigo said in an excited tone.
His hollow was taken back for a fraction of a second, and then he smirked. "Well it seems you finally grew a pair, eh King? Or is it for the two fine looking ladies that you want to feel all over." The hollow gave a demonic grin and a psychotic laugh that gave the said girls chills and made Ichigo a dark shade of red.
"Shut up! Ya damn horse!"
"What was that you weak king?!"
"You heard me! And if you think I'm so weak th-" Ichigo and his hollow's argument was cut short by Zangetsu clearing his throat. Ichigo gave his hollow a glare and turned to Zangetsu.
"Oi, Old Man how are you involved with me being taken to another world?" He asked, hiding the the fact he was going to a new world. Zangetsu sighed and looked up to the blue skies of Ichigo's inner world.
"The reason I am involved Ichigo is because, I am the one sending you." Zangetsu responded calmly.
