Ch 10 It only gets worse
"Amagi, I think it is time you stop and think about what you are doing." Kisuke Urahara said as he looked through the shadow cast across his face made by his striped hat.
"Why would I need to stop and think about what I am doing, when I am fully aware of my plan?" Amagi replied as he slowly shifted unto his right leg. Noticing what Amagi was doing, Kisuke brought up his cane and drew his zanpakuto from it.
"If you don't want to talk right now, than just say it!" he said sarcastically as he pointed his now drawn sword at Amagi. 'Am I really about to fight him?' Kisuke thought to himself.
Amagi smirked at him as he said, "I know what you're thinking Kisuke. You may have helped me partially regain my Shinigami powers, but from that point until now it was all me. Though my little trick I was taught by an old friend," As soon as Amagi finished, he disappeared with a burst of reiatsu and instantaneously appeared next to Kisuke, catching him completely off guard.
Kisuke rose up his zanpakuto to block Amagi's initial punch, but he failed to notice Amagi swinging his foot around. The top of his foot landed a direct hit on Kisuke's side and, with a loud bang, was sent hurtling towards the ground. He quickly regained his footing and just in time. Amagi reappeared below Kisuke and was about to punch him. Kisuke quickly swung around and sliced open Amagi's fist. Amagi jumped back and watched the blood ooze out of the deep gash across his knuckles.
"Congratulations Kisuke, you are the first one who was able to injure me." Amagi said as he looked up and glared at him.
"Well thank you Amagi. I tried my hardest." Kisuke replied shrugging his shoulders and putting his hand behind his head.
Amagi's face became very serious as he told Kisuke, "You are not even trying. I know your fighting style and I understand your strength; what you are doing right now is only bidding your time."
"You may be right Amagi, but I am not going 'all out' because I want to see what you have truly become."
"Oh really, and what have I truly become?"
"You've become a monster." Kisuke said quietly as he looked down. His hat cast a shadow across his face, covering his facial expression. "I shouldn't have agreed to help you regain your powers. I shouldn't have even found you."
Only a few years after Amagi had been exiled, and meraculisly finding a zanpakuto, Urahara went searching for this young man. He saw much potential in this former student that he thought he could take him under his wing, finish his training so he could one day be part of his plan. Though once finding Amagi, and his training began, Urahara noticed something new, sinister and evil about him; though unable to get a grasp on what it could be, he continued training Amagi regaurdless. Until the day he ran. Even today that something still remains as he looks at his former student pleadingly.
"So what are you trying to tell me there Kisuke?" Amagi replied tilting his head back and looking up to the sky. 'Just tell me what I want to hear, you fool.' Amagi thought to himself.
"I regret everything I have done to help you. I should have seen what you would become once you regained your full powers."
Amagi looked down at Kisuke and gave a short chuckle, "sadly I haven't fully regained my shinigami powers. Something is holding me back that I cannot gain a foothold on." 'the fourth key, regret,' Amagi thought to himself as he smirked at Kisuke.
Back in Orihime's house, Rangiku, Orihime and Captain Shunsui Kyoraku walked up the stairs and opened the door to the roof of the house. Once they got the edge of the building, they looked out across the town and were shocked to see how much destruction had occurred.
"Is.. this all from Amagi?" Orihime asked, barely finding the words.
Shunsui reached up ato find that his straw hat had disapeared and replied, "You see how much of a monster that man has become?" He mainly directed the question to Rangiku, who, in return, did not say a word.
'Amagi… What caused you to fall so far?' Rangiku thought to her-self as tears began to fall from her cheeks.
The fighting between Kisuke Urahara and Amagi Mitsuko continued on for a while, only resulting in continued stalemates. They each lounged at eachother; Amagi trying to land a punch or a kick, with Urahara trying to cut him down.
"You know Kisuke, I am actually surprised you are fighting me without any of your simple tricks and traps." Amagi said as he touched the new bloody cut on his cheek. He licked the blood from his finger tips and grinned at Urahara.
"As well as I am surprised you haven't used your zanpakuto at all." Kisuke replied as he inspected his crushed hat. "What a waste of a good hat." He shrugged his shoulders as he put the hat back on. He was heavily bruised and some of his ribs were surely broken with a possibility that his left arm was dislocated.
"I am actually getting tired of this. It was fun while it lasted, but I am sorry Kisuke, this is where it ends for you." As Amagi finished he reached over to draw his zanpakuto but something caught his attention; a women had appeared behind him and swung her foot around. Amagi quickly reached out and caught it.
"I thought you were faster than this Yoruichi." Amagi said as he pulled her towards him. He than grabbed her by the throat and began to squeeze; giving her an evil smile as he did.
"ROAR ZABIMARU!"
A long blade extended from the ground and headed straight towards Amagi. He threw Yoruichi to the side and blocked the oncoming blade with his zanpakuto.
"Really?" Amagi began but before he could a new voice say, "Some no mai, Tsukishiro," and a pillar of light erupted from the ground underneath Amagi and headed straight towards him; It quickly incased him ice.
"About time you guys showed up! Shesh, I though I was going to be a goner there for a few." Kisuke said jokingly to Rukia Kuchiki and Renji Abarai. They than ran over to Yoruichi to check to see if she was ok.
"Nice one, Rukia." Yoruichi said as she stood up when they came over to her.
"It was nothing. Honestly!" Rukia said
"Hey I distracted him so you could do that! So I will take some credit on that as well." Renji demanded angrily to Yuroichi and Rukia.
"Don't get your hopes up just yet you two." Kisuke said in a distracted manner, "the ice won't hold him for very long." As he finished, they all heard a loud snap as the ice began to crack. Where Amagi stood began to glow as air around that area of ice began to spiral inwards. As the ice cracked even more, it began to disintegrate into reishi and was absorbed by Amagi. Within seconds a loud boom echoed through the sky as a massive shockwave of reiatsu erupted from Amagi. Large chunks of ice fell all around the Shinigami on the ground as the pillar crumbled.
"Thought it was that easy didn't you?" Amagi said sarcastically as he appeared behind them. They all jumped back in horror, waiting for him to swing his zanpakuto at them; which never came.
"You guys scare to easily." He told them.
"Kisuke was right; you have become nothing but a monster." Yoruichi said.
"So what if I have? Not much you can do about it now." Amagi said as he began walking over to where they had jumped to. "I may have not regained my shinigami powers, but I gained a power far greater."
"This is not how things were supposed to turn out." Yoruichi shook her head, "I thought if I took care of you while Kisuke trained you, you wouldn't have so much hatred."
"You think this is hatred? This nothing but the desire to see everything be destroyed." Amagi replied raising his arms up, "If I was denied becoming a Shinigami and banished to this world, than everything in it deserves to be destroyed."
"What you are telling us makes no sense. You said you are not fueled by hatred, and you know Aizen framed you, than why do you want everything destroyed?" Kisuke asked, trying to get a grasp on Amagi's motives, but no matter how he put it, it never made any sense.
"It is not supposed to make sense. I just feel the need to destroy everything, and everyone." Amagi said as his eyes slighty turned brighter and greener.
"Than all hope is lost on saving you." Yoruichi softly said as she looked down at the ground.
"Save me? Why would you still want to save me; a monster like myself?" Amagi asked, smirking at them.
"Because," Yoruichi looked up and looked Amagi in the eyes, "I still care for you as if you were my brother. I have always seen you as my brother since the first day we found you."
Some 40 years ago, Kisuke and Yoruichi were investigating an unusual reiatsu when they stumbled upon the source; a young man in an alley, scared and not understanding why his powers were returning as well as how he was able to finda zanpakuto. With out saying a word, Yoruichi had walked over and reached a hand out to the young man, who hesitated, but eventually reached up and grabbed her hand.
"Don't worry! My name is Yoruichi shihouin, and this is Kisuke Urahara." She explained with a smile.
"I'm Amagi Mitsuko, a student at the Shinigami Academy." He looked away and lowered his voice, "I mean 'former' student."
"Don't worry Amagi we will take care of you, ok?" Yoruichi sad smilling down at the young man.
"I can teach you how to TRUELY control your shinigami powers, and you can become the powerful shinigami I am sure you are meant to be." The man in the hat said standing beside the dark skinned woman.
"Come, we need to get going," Yoruichi esclaimed turning around, Kisuke followed suit, "are you coming are not Mitsuko?" Amagi still digesting what was going on jumped to his feet and smiled for the first time in a long while. eh was happy, someone there for him. He was no longer alone.
Back in the present situation Yoruichi shook her head, trying to forget the memory. Kisuke reached over and put his hand on her shoulder.
"I still care for you Amagi. I just can't stand seeing you like this." She softly said.
'Remorse, the tird key,' Amagi thought to himself.
"Well Yoruichi, I am sorry to cut this… reunion… short, but I should be going now; this is getting too boring and too emotional for me." Amagi turned around and began walking away, leaving everyone standing dumbfounded by Amagi's immediate change of actions.
"I don't think so!" Ichigo yelled suddenly as he dropped from the sky with his zanpakuto drawn back.
"Fool." Amagi said quietly as he grabbed the blade and dragged him closer. As he did, Amagi swung his elbow back which smacked Ichigo on the side of the head instantly knocking him unconscious.
"Didn't I just say I was done for now?" Amagi said angrily to Ichigo's limp body as it lay on the ground. He raised a hand back and waved as he vanished.
He instantaneously reappeared in front of Rangiku, Orihime and captain Shunsui as they watched the events unfold on the roof of Orihime's house. Before Shunsui could react, Amagi drew his sword and slashed the captain across the chest, spraying blood everywhere. Orihime screamed and Rangiku reached for her zanpakuto and realized it was still in the house.
"You two are coming with me." Amagi said as he grabbed Rangiku by the arm and Orihime by the face, covering her mouth so she could not say a word; preventing her from activating her powers. They fought to break his grip, but to no luck.
"See you guys around! Just remember; it only gets worse!" Amagi yelled to the rest of them as he lifted up Rangiku, and Orihime. He smirked as he used Sonikku Shunpo and disappeared; disintegrating the house as a shockwave of reiatsu blasted from where Amagi stood, just seconds before.
