Two Ichigo's too Many

It's early Monday and Ichigo and his friends are at school. The rest of the Soul Reapers that came on a Sunday are at the Urahara shop chilling out. "So," I said. "No one else wants to come along to look for the new enemy?"

"We have no leads." Yumichika said. "So there's no point in looking."

"Well I'm going to look." I said as I stood up. "Any of you are welcome to join me."

I exit the door and shut it behind me. Time is flying by fast as I search for the new enemy. It's already noon. I see a building that says high school on it. I use my flash step to get on top of the building. "Hello Ichigo." I said as I stepped behind him.

"Don't scare me like that!" Ichigo yelled.

"And why not?" I ask.

"How come you're here anyways?" Uryu asked.

"Just looking for the enemy is all." I said. "Nobody else wanted to since we have no lead."

"Then how come you're looking?" Chad asked.

"I want to." I said. "I also want to keep myself busy."

"I don't think you should stay on the school roof for too long." Ichigo said.

"How come?" I ask.

"I'm not sure if any other person can see you or not." Ichigo said.

"Fine," I said. "I should be looking for the enemy anyways, later." I used my flash step to get off the building.

I decide to go to the park. "Getsuga Tenshou!" Ichigo's attack came at me; I tried to dodge it with one my attacks but I couldn't pull out my Zanpaku-to in time. The attack hit me and I went flying.

"I sure wasn't excepting that." I said to myself as I got up. "Where are you?" I put on my Looking Glass to see where the enemy was.

The enemy comes at me, puts his hands around my neck to choke me, and picks me up off the ground. "Where's Ichigo Kurosaki?" The enemy asked. It's the Double Soul Reaper from yesterday.

"I don't know." I said slowly while lying.

"Liar!" Double Ichigo says as he throws me across the way.

I don't understand something about these Double Soul Reapers. I wonder if they can't feel their original's spiritual pressure. Double Ichigo didn't sense the original Ichigo's spiritual pressure yesterday at all. "Why do you want to find him?" I ask.

"Isn't that obvious?" Double Ichigo said. "To kill him!"

I decide to go after Double Ichigo myself. Our Zanpaku-to's are crossing each other's. I know Mizu said to use my full power but I want to wait on it until I need it. I can take my necklace off to give me more power but I don't want to yet and I sure don't want to hollow-fi.

I decide to take off my captain's coat so it won't get in the way. We have been fighting for two hours now. Doesn't this guy ever give up? I'm not slowing down too much which I'm a little surprise about. Double Ichigo stabs me on my left side. Man is his Zanpaku-to thick or what? I back out of the way.

Another hour goes by. I can't believe Double Ichigo doesn't give up. I'm slowing down a little bit now because of my wound. I still don't want to use my full power. "Minatsu," Mizu said. "You should use your full power or else you might regret it."

"I don't want to." I thought. "But I do want to use Genkai."

Genkai is my original Zanpaku-to. When I use Genkai I can take other powers from the enemy or even a Soul Reaper but I have to stab then in the heart (and make sure they're dead) in order to get their power. I can't use Genkai and Mizu at the same time, I have to switch Zanpaku-to's in order to use Genkai. I got Mizu by using Genkai. I hated that day when I got Mizu. After two months of being out of the academy my friend and I decided to go to the woods which ended up being a bad idea. A hollow took over my friend that I met in the Soul Reaper Academy. A hollow showed up and completely took over my friend. She couldn't break free from the hollow so I had to kill her. I used Genkai and took her Zanpaku-to for my own, which was Mizu. My friend only knew one of her incantations at the time but I was still able to learn the rest of the techniques because I am Mizu's master now.

"You are not using Genkai at all!" Mizu said. "He's too powerful."

"I don't care." I said.

"Well I do." Mizu said.

"You know you get jealous when I want to switch Zanpaku-to's." I thought. "I haven't used Genkai since I got you."

"I still don't care." Mizu said.

I feel Ichigo's spiritual pressure coming my way. I quickly grab my captain's coat and put it on so they don't see my wound. Ichigo arrives with his friends.

"Is that the enemy?" Uryu asked.

"Yes." I answered.

"If that's the enemy," Ichigo said. "Then I want to fight it since it's my Double."

"Ichigo," I said. "This enemy is very strong."

"I've fought strong enemies before." Ichigo said. "Even Kenpachi before we became allies."

"This guy is stronger than Kenpachi." I said. "I know that because I've been training with Kenpachi since I was in the Soul Reaper Acadamy."

"Ichigo's right." Double Ichigo said. "He should fight me."

"He even sounds like Ichigo." Orihime said.

"Fine," I said. "Just to warn you he's twice as strong and twice as fast as you are and he has the same exact moves and abilities."

"That's fine with me." Ichigo said.

"You might think it's fine," I said. "But I have been fighting with him for about three hours and he's tough."

Ichigo used a Soul Candy to become a Soul Reaper. "You ready to die?" Ichigo asked his double.

"I've been looking for you all day and I finally get to ask you the same question." Double Ichigo responded. "Are you ready to die?"

Ichigo goes after his double and the double goes after Ichigo. "I say Ichigo will last ten minutes with him." I said.

"What makes you say that?" Uryu asked.

"Because the double is extremely strong," I said. "A lot stronger than Ichigo thinks." I sheath my Zanpaku-to, I take off my Looking Glass since I had it on for three hours and it was bothering me, and cross my arms.

"Are you okay, Minatsu?" Orihime asked.

"I'm fine," I said. I think Orihime might sense that I'm in pain but I don't hurt too badly. "Don't worry about me. I've fought strong people before."

"Yes," Uryu said. "But nothing as strong as Ichigo's double, right?"

"Getsuga Tenshou!" Ichigo's double yells. Ichigo goes flying across the ground and Double Ichigo goes after Ichigo. There's smoke, it cleared out fast, and no sign of the Double Ichigo.

"Well, I think I took care of that double." Ichigo said. "Let's get going."

"I have one question." I said. "How were you able to defeat the double so easily when I had trouble?"

"I think you tired the double out for me." Ichigo said. "Thanks."

"Don't mention it." I said. I still have no idea where the double went, if Ichigo defeated it or if the double just disappears when they get killed. Who knows? "I think we should go to the Urahara shop and tell Kisuke about this."

"I don't think we have to." Ichigo said. "We already defeated it so why tell somebody?"

"I still think it's a good idea to tell Kisuke what happened." I said. "Let's go."
