I'm not an action writer, so I try to avoid it. But eventually, Ichigo is going to have to fight something. Why not start now?
I'm going to make this in Ichigo's POV because it would sound better.
Chapter three- (I can't think of a name….)
I watched the ball turn into a human form. It's limbs broke out of the ball of light like a bird from an egg. I held my guard as the 'shell' began to fall to pieces. "Meet Kuruhimo." The blonde Bounto laughed as the puppet stood to its full height. I saw that it had a woman's body with cat-like features. She had a panther's fur with claws to match. Her silver hair was cut short above her neck. Her eyes were pure white.
"Kuruhimo…" I said softly. I knew something about the name was bothering me. "Kuruhimo, take care of the boy, will you?" The Bounto said disappearing into the darkness. "Yes, Hideo. It would be my pleasure." She replied with a snarl. I gripped my sword tighter and took a glance at Rukia. She was sweating more now, but still knocked-out. "Don't drop your guard, boy!" Kuruhimo hissed. I turned and saw she was aiming for my heart with perfect accuracy. Quickly I rolled to my left. Her claws barely grazed my cheek.
I turned to see where she landed, but nothing was there. "Dammit!" I said touching my cheek. When I removed my hand, I saw that it was bleeding. "I don't have time for this shit!" I screamed, thinking about Rukia's condition. Suddenly I sensed that something was behind me. I looked back to see Kuruhimo rising from my shadow.
"Oops…you found me." She giggled. Wasting no time, I turned and swung my Zanpakuto. It went right through her. "Silly me…" she laughed, "I forgot to mention that I am only a shadow." I looked at her in shock as she laughed wildly. "But that's not fair, is it? I think I'll become solid for you…"
She came completely came out of my shadow and went into a ball of darkness. I heard Hideo's voice in the distance. He chanted, "Kuruhimo, Kuruhimo, " I watched Kuruhimo break out of the ball into a completely different cat-creature. She now had white fur with pure blue eyes. Her hair was gold and reached past her feet. Her claws were three times longer. "Call me Kuruyorumo." She said, baring her new grown fangs.
Finally, I got it. Kuruhimo Kuruhimo means 'Day in and Day out'. So by chanting her name twice, you're changing her 'day'. In other words she can use light or darkness. Kuruyorumo Kuruyorumo means the opposite, 'Night in and night out'. Therefore, she changes into the shadow demon. "I get it." I said confidently, "You change into your name…" Kuruyorumo yawned. "Bravo. But do you understand my power?" I scowled at her. I hadn't thought of what the light demon could do.
She laughed that sick laugh of hers, "Let me demonstrate…" Before I could even blink, she was right besides me. Her fangs grew to a vicious size as she bit into my arm. "Get the hell off!" I yelled. I used my free arm to lift my Zanpakuto and send it into her back. I made contact with air. Suddenly, I felt furry hands clasp around my eyes. "Guess who?" Angrily, I flipped her over my shoulder. I followed that immediately with my Zanpakuto. Once again she disappeared. I looked around while holding my wounded arm. There was a pattern to her attacks. I needed to find out soon, because in this form she was faster and stronger.
I closed my eyes and stood still. I stayed that way until I felt a slight breeze that blew to my right. "Gotcha!" I turned to my right and struck my sword straight down. In an instant, Kuruyorumo was underneath it. I hit her stomach. "You're smarter than I thought." She said, sliding the Zanpakuto through her abdomen. I watched as her body repaired itself almost instantly.
"Her heart…" I heard in the far corner. I turned to see Rukia, breathing heavily. "Her heart…hit her heart." She struggled to tell me. I nodded and turned back to fight my opponent.
"Wait…Ichigo!" I looked back at Rukia, who was trying to stand up.
I yelled, "You're too weak1 Sit b-"
"She uses light." Rukia interrupted. "She uses light to travel, just like she used darkness. Hit her before she transforms."
Even though I wanted to know how she knew all of this, I took the advice.
I turned to my left, where a dim light was shining. I realized she could only go in one direction. Closing my eyes, I waited for the slight breeze. "Now!" I struck my sword down, and it hit her heart directly. "EEEYAH!" She screamed, turning into a puddle of light. It became deathly quiet as I broke the dolls core. "Nicely done. Where would you be without your girlfriend?" Hideo stepped out of the darkness. He was disappearing slowly as he clapped his hands mockingly. I listened as his crazed laughter turned into silence.
Remembering her condition, I turned to Rukia. She was leaning against the wall struggling to breathe. Quickly I entered my body. I started to scold her, "Rukia-!"A sharp pain shot through my body. I fell to the floor grasping my wounded arm. Even though on my body, I had no scars, I could still feel the bite of the cat doll. I stood back up and walked towards Rukia. I could tell she wanted to say something, but couldn't. I put her arm around my shoulder and began the walk home.

"Oh my god! Ichigo what happened?" Yuzu cried as she got the stretcher ready. Karin was right behind her with a second stretcher. "Don't worry about me. Get Rukia inside." I commanded. Yuzu hesitated, but Karin nodded in understanding. They carefully put Rukia on one of the stretchers. "Does she have any parents to contact?" I turned to my dad. I looked back at Rukia, then I looked down. "No." Dad put his hand on my shoulder. "We'll take care of her." He then realized that I was holding my arm. "Ichigo, what's wrong with your arm?" I stopped holding it and said, "I'm fine." I thought he was going to leave it at that, but he picked me up and swung me over his shoulder. "Hey! What are you doing!?" I yelled. "Stop trying to be so macho. I'm going to see what's wrong with your arm." He said, carrying me inside. I sighed heavily. "Whatever."
He plopped me down on a bed. "Now lets see…" He gently lifted my arm. I cried out in pain, even though I tried not to. "Weird…there are no scars…" he put it back down. Then he walked out of the room. "What is he getting now…?" I wondered aloud. He answered my question by coming back with an X-ray machine. "Sit up straight, Ichigo." My dad commanded. I followed his orders. He turned on the machine and lifted my arm again. "You have large bite marks on your bones." He said after a long pause. I looked at my arm, wondering how the marks transferred. Then I listened to my dad mutter to himself, "How could you have bite marks, but no wounds?"
He reached into his desk to find a cast. "Here we are." He said, lifted up the gauze. But when he turned back to me, he froze in his spot. "What?" I asked. He came closer to the X-ray machine. "But…it was broken a second ago…" he mumbled. I struggled to see through the screen. Finally, I caught a glance of my arm. It was completely healed.
"Well, seeing as I'm okay and all, I guess I'll be going." I said hopping off the table.
"Oh no you don't!" my dad said, pushing me back on.
"You're staying here until I figure out what just happened."
I groaned, "Can't we just be happy I'm alive?"
He ignored me and turned to his table. I waited for him to start writing on his clipboard. Then I quickly got up and left the room. I ran down the hall searching for a room with a light on. Finally, I saw one.
I quietly opened the door. I saw Rukia sleeping in the bed. I closed the door behind me and took a seat next to her. She was breathing a bit a bit more normally, but she was still sweaty. Her face was contorted in pain. I put my hand to her head. She was burning up! I looked around the room until I saw a clean rag. I ran cold water over it and placed it gently on her head. It seemed to make her feel better, for her face softened. I half-smiled as I stood up to leave the room. Then I stopped…maybe I should wait until she wakes up.
The next one, I'm going to do something a little different. I'm going to use someone elses POV. Just saying.
