(Currently within the mind of Ichigo)
KA-BOOOOM!
There went the carrot-top.
SMASH-CRASH!
And there went his elder clone.
"Dammit! What the hell is up with this thing! It keeps smacking us around!" Yelled our indignant orange haired soul-reaper. His eye was twitching rapidly, and he was sore from being thrown around. Kaien was cut off from his response to Ichigo's question by an eerie chuckling.
"FOOLISH SOUL REAPERS! I AM NOT LIKE MY FELLOW HOLLOWS! I AM SUPERIOR IN INTELLIGENCE TO THOSE PATHETIC SIMPLETONS WHO CAN NOT EVEN FORM AN ACTUAL SENTENCE! I AM A CHOSEN ONE! AND I AM THE ONE WHO WILL BECOME GREATER THAN THE REST OF MY KIND! THEY WILL BOW-" And so the hollow continued his rant of how strong and powerful and beautiful and smart he was.
Que sweatdrops.
"….."
"…"
"…..Kaien?"
"…Yes, Ichigo?"
"…I think we should take this chance to take out Mr. Tentacles."
" …Yea. Right. Gotcha. So, you wanna slash him or bash him?" Asked Kaien, pulling out his sword.
" Hmm, I'm better at slashing, you can bash him." Ichigo said, getting into a stance.
"AS IF I'D LET YO-AAAAAARRRG!" The hollow's rant got cut off by Kaien, who, using Nejibana in her Shikai form, slammed the trident into the unsuspecting Hollow's head…Body…Thing.
Ichigo, also using Shikai, charged forward, lifted his trident over his head, and brought it down, slashing the monster across it's mask.
"!" It screeched in pain, causing Ichigo and Kaien to hold their ears or risk becoming deaf, before disappearing in a dark mist.
"…"
"…"
"…..….."
"…Well. That was easy!"
Twitch of the eyebrow.
A deep breath.
"Kaien?"
"Yes?"
"Shuddap."
" Er, right. Anyway Ichi, you should go to sleep!"
" WHO SAID YOU COULD TALL ME WHAT TO D-"
" Night!"
" KAIEEEEEEN!"
(At the Kurosaki residence)
*dreams*
"NO! No, Miyako! MIYAKOOO!"
"Please Captain, let me fight battle alone!"
"Rankle the Seas and Skies, Nejibana!"
"Kaien-dono! KAIEN-DONO!"
"
T-thank you, R-Rukia…"
*dreams end*
Ichigo's eyes snapped open before quickly shutting his eyes with a groan.
'Kaien?'
'Hmm?'
'What was that?'
'…I think you know what it was.'
'…So, that thing we fought yesterday was…'
'Yeah, it was. That Hollow, had been the same one who had taken my life, and many others before me.'
'That woman, Miyako, was she-'
'Yeah, she was my wife.'
'…Sorry.'
'Don't be. You got nothing to be sorry , you go back to the land of the living. Your sister is calling you.'
'Right.'
