First off- I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING! I had a bad case of writer's block on this, so if it's bad believe me I know. Gah I don't want to post this but I don't want the people who do read this think I died. For everyone who faved and followed here is your internet cookie. And if you feel like reviewing please do so! It makes me so happy when I see just one, I literally run around my house like a chicken with it's head cut off. The song is Mad World by Gary Jules, and I was listening to Jasmine Thompson's cover of this, it just is really chilling. DISCLAIMER-I don't own anything except for my fanfiction! All music is credited to the lovely people who made it.
Third Person POV
"Wait...SHE WANTS TO FIGHT THE OLD MAN?!" Shunsui yelled in shock at the two figures in front of him. "Yep she needs to she has too much power, it needs to be released and when that happens her fire is the hottest and nobody has survived it." The man sighed taking a drink of his sake, "What happens if she doesn't release the power?" "The hollow that has laid dormant will awaken and take over her destroying the Soul Society as we know it." He did a spit take, "She said the hollow ceased existing or something!" Enya raised an eyebrow, "She never said it was gone." "She said she never felt anything after the week." Darkie said ending Enya's sentence. Shunsui looked confused, "Wait why exactly are you telling me this?" "We know you and the captain of the 13th are helping Kuchiki escape from the old guy." "Oh and she is gonna destroy the thing they are killing Kuchiki with." Shunsui was so shocked he dropped his sake on the floor, "That thing is made of thousands of zanpaktou spirits, it would at least take two to destroy it." Enya grinned, "Don't doubt her, she still has 95% of her reiatsu sealed." Shunsui's hat flopped onto his face, "You mean she's at 5% and she didn't die by Zaraki?!"
The female spirit laughed, "She is weak, when she deactivates the seal she will even be at the point of learning Bankai. We plan on doing that 3 days before, as our Bankai training only takes one day-two depending on how determined she is." Shunsui for the most part was speechless, but you could see his gears turning albeit rather slowly.
"I'll... Explain this to Juushiro... somehow." He said obviously not looking forward to the conversation. "I've met him once I believe he wouldn't be too unhappy." Darkie said surprising everyone. "No, I just don't know how he would feel about Tsubaki of all people helping Rukia." Enya nodded, it made sense as Tsubaki didn't know the Kuchiki, not to mention she is part of the 11th division.
"Just make sure you leave those two things to Tsubaki, you're free to do whatever you want except those two things." Shunsui nodded as the two faded away. He got up with a new cup of sake and sighed, "Guess we have to rethink our plan Juushiro." "And it was gonna be so much fun angering the old man." He sighed in dramatic sadness.
As I was walking through the streets, I flinched as a sharp pain passed through my head. As the pain got stronger I sat down against the wall, I had a feeling I may not want to be walking. I sat down feeling tears forming, as my vision started to fade I only hoped I would be okay.
Mindscape
"What a wimp hime. I might have ta help ya out here. Ohh wait, ya don't want my help. after all that's why I'm sealed here." The voice taunted. I opened my eyes and looked in shock as I saw her above me. She was chained to the ceiling of the cave, while her legs were completely destroyed at the knees and only stumps hung. She had a snow white skin, pure white hair that faded to purple, and yellow eyes surrounded by black sclera. Her mask covered her eyes and fanned out to create cat ears out of bone. She had a long boney tail that hung from her body unresponsively. She only had chains that covered her huge breasts and the same goes for her privates. Chains were also dangling from her wrists.
"Decide to wake up wimp?" She cackled insanely. I looked at her in shock, "You are supposed to be asleep." "Tch, I can't sleep forever and finally I can destroy the Soul Society like I was gonna do before! I am awake because this disgusting seal is fading and you know it!" She laughed, eyes glinting murderously. The world started fading as she laughed even louder, "Hurry up hime, I'm getting impatient hanging here!" Then it all went black.
I heard yelling around me, opening my eyes I saw the Ryoka's running from a mob of 11th members. Grunting as I got up, I flash-stepped in front of the crowd with my swords drawn. "You idiots! You aren't even trying! Your just chasing them, try using actually using your swords!" I stomped the ground sending one of them flying. "You are all dead if you let them go!" I turned around swords still drawn, and the two Ryoka just stared at me then ran. Growling I chased after them, they seemed to be normal humans but they sure knew how to run. I appeared in front of them stopping them abruptly, "Stand down now!" They looked at me in surprise. The male looked at me and drew a bow made out of reishi. I widened my eyes, "I thought you all died." He looked at me indifferently, "Thanks to you I'm the last Quincy." I growled at him, "Not all of us kill innocent people dumbass. Some kill for fun, some kill 'cause that's what they were told to. I ain't one of them, I kill when I have to not when I want to." His eyes widened, "Your different.." "Ya I'm different, killing a race is downright boring in my book." He sweatdropped at the fact I thought it was boring. "Does this mean you'll let us go?" The girl asked. "By orders of the Head Captain all Ryoka must be captured, believe me I hate the old guy but even I can't help you out here." The boy looked at me, "Then I guess we have to fight you." "Only if you want to escape which is what I presume you want to do."
He nodded and I narrowed my eyes, putting my swords away. He looked at me startled by my actions, "Why are you using your weapons?" "'Cause I wanna do range as well and I gotta use my fire for that. Don't get all jumpy because my swords aren't out." I said lighting my hand on fire. I grinned at him and counted down, "3.2.1. Have fun!" He shot as soon as I flash-stepped away, he whipped around and shot multiple arrows at me. "Why won't you stand still?" He asked in annoyance. "That would be boring, and I hate boring things." He shot an arrow at me and I caught it mid-air to his surprise and I held the arrow calmly as my fire began to melt it. "T-That shouldn't be possible." He said shell shocked. "When your fire is as hot as the hottest sun in this here universe, I don't believe anything is impossible anymore." I grinned, until out of nowhere a sharp pain in the eye causing me to nearly scream. "Go away you stupid beast." I said holding my head in pain. "No way you dumb chick! I want out now!" "No... You don't and I will die if it means you will stay in there." "Your bluffing!" I drew both swords and put one at my neck and the other at my heart, "Believe me...I don't fear death." I said in pain as she grew stronger. "Then I will just have to control you NOW!" In an instant I could feel all the chains breaking, and the screams I was holding in released. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The seal cracked letting out half of the sealed reiatsu, with it I felt my fire heat up at least five times hotter. The ground started shaking as the potent reiatsu flooded out. I saw one last face before everything went black. It was myself, only she was pure white and grinning at me.
Third Person POV
As everyone in the 12th division was working on...well whatever they work on. A massive surge of reiatsu literally blew up three of the computers much to the anger of Mayuri. "Captain! We're seeing a large amount of hollow energy near the fifth division!" He looked interested, "First we get Ryokas and now we get a hollow in the Soul Society?" He grinned widely. "Did you get the type of hollow that was?" "S-Sir we believe it may be a low Vasto Lorde." "Nemu! Your coming with me!" She bowed, "Hai Captain." She said in her monotonous voice. He flash-stepped out and Nemu followed behind him as they went to go see the hollow.
-Time Skip-
When they arrived they were greeted by the sight of humaniod-hollow. She had snow white skin, white hair, gold eyes surrounded by a black sclera. She had chains wrapped around her breasts and lower parts. She had chains hanging from her wrists and ankles. Her mask covered her eyes and formed two cat ears. She also had a bone tail that was hanging from her body. "Finally a Captain, I hate weaklings..." She said with a bloodthirsty grin. "And where did you come from exactly?" He asked, hand on sword. "One of your own...She was a weak little one. She thought locking me up would keep me away. She thought locking 95% of her reiatsu just to keep me chained would save her...She was wrong." She licked a blood tainted claw. "Who is this 'she'?" She laughed a murderous laugh, "Little Tsu-Tsu of course. She is the most mysterious person here...Hiding secrets from everyone, lying and for what? That's right she fears she will destroy this place!" She pulled out two white swords with a grin, "I have to blow this place up, and guess what? I don't need a pesky Captain in my way." Her swords started glowing, "Cero." She said while laughing and to his shock a pure blue Cero shot out of the swords and he barely dodged it. She took to the air in a specific direction and he looked angry. "Great, now we have to report this, and then I won't get a perfect specimen." He then sped off to the first division.
-Ichigo POV-
I sat on the cave floor in twitching, "WHY DO I HAVE TO JUST SIT HERE?!" I shouted finally in anger. Yoruichi, who was in her human form, gave me a look, "Do you honestly want to reopen your wounds for the fifth time?" I grumbled looking away from her. "Ichigo...Something is coming and she's strong. Very strong. Get ready." Zangetsu said in slight worry. Suddenly they heard cackling of a demonic sounding woman, "I see...Your just like little Tsu-Tsu and you don't even know it..." She said with a grin. "Who are you?" I shouted at her. "Just your everyday hollow that takes over a stupid girl's body...She even thought nearly killing herself would kill me... She was horribly wrong." She pulled out two swords that were pure white in appearance, "You are strong for being such a young mortal...If only you weren't injured...Oh wait I can fix that." She shot a beam of pure white energy that almost instantly healed him. "It's true then...If you weren't like little Tsu-Tsu you wouldn't have healed that easily...or that quickly." "What did you do?!" She just laughed and charged at him barely gave him time to draw Zangetsu. "Ichigo, the person the hollow has taken control of...you've met her...she needs your help." I grunted as I blocked her crazed attacks. What do you mean I've met her?! "Think about what the hollow calls the girl and remember your past fights..." As I went on the defensive, the information hit me like a speeding train. Her?! She's out to get us! "She doesn't want to however, she has already broke the rules and has helped your friends escape multiple times."
"She's in trouble Ichigo and right now she would even take help from the worst person in history, you can hear her spirit calling out for help. She's crying out for someone to kill her. She's that desperate." As I threw the hollow across the room, I felt like someone else was in the room. A vulnerable person, a person who has lost all hope. If you hear me...Please hear me...She needs to be stopped...At all costs. I heard a weak voice tell me in my head, H-How can I help you? You can free me two ways...knocking her out and entering her mind and freeing me or...killing me. I can't kill you! Then you must free me the other way. She will create such destruction that will make a nuclear explosion look like a wind storm. I nodded at her words, the hollow looked at me with both swords on the ground, "You think you can beat me? I'm one of the strongest hollows in history!" She said with a growl, she grabbed both swords and appeared in front of me and brought her swords down. I blocked it and flared my reiatsu to throw her back. As I went on the offensive, I attacked her with multiple Getsuga Tenshos. She hit the wall with a grunt and looked at me as she was breathing hard, when she tried to get up I punched her in the gut, causing her eyes to roll back. Touch her forehead and you will be brought into my mind. I nodded and touched her forehead and instantly blacked out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Tsubaki POV
I gasped as I felt him enter my mind, my head fell as I took long breaths. The chains rattled as I lifted my head back up slowly. The boy looked at me in shock, well it can be expected, after all seeing your enemy chained up and nearly butt naked wasn't an everyday sight. "Good...to...finally meet...you Ichigo...Kurosaki." I said between my heavy breaths. "H-How do you know my name?" I smiled a little, "Your zanpaktou told me you were going to help me...I didn't know why you would...since your...my enemy." "He told you that?" I nodded. "He asked why my own zanpaktous weren't helping and it's because...they making a plan...and they... are not here." "I can...tell you it... if you break...the chains...with your zanpaktou." He picked up his massive sword and cleanly cut the chains off the walls, causing me to fall onto the ground until he caught me. "We...have to get...out of...here. The hollow will be chained up again...soon." I closed my eyes and when I opened them again I was in my own body, like how it was before she took over.
I tried to get up, but failed as my body was exhausted from the hollow controlling it. I looked as Ichigo got up slowly and looked at me. "Thank...you." I told him. He nodded, "What's the plan anyway?" "The plan is for me to break the execution weapon and that will gain the old man's attention. While you make off with Rukia, I will fight him, the reason I am doing so is because I need to release the rest of my reiatsu or well bad stuff happens." He looked at me with a confused look, "Why would you have to fight him though? I'm sure it would work with any of the other captains." "I never thought about that...And since I only have little still sealed I may be able to risk fighting a different person. Not sure who though...I guess I will know when the time comes." I said slowly. "Can you get up?" He asked causing me to smile at his kindness. "No...but I should be okay anyway."
A woman approached me and was looking at me with suspicion, "11th division? Odd to see one of you guys acting kind." Nodding, I grabbed my swords and held them close to me. "And with two zanpaktous? I have to ask...Why aren't you turning us in?" I looked away from them. "That old idiot has damaged my life enough, he's even tried to get me executed for simply saying I didn't want to go to the academy. He took my adoptive family away for no reason, he just made it so I couldn't say no to coming here. That and...I want to atone for all my past sins." They looked at me in surprise. "I've killed thousands with my swords, I've killed using my fire, I've killed my sister because of it and worst of all I let three hundred people die because I was too slow to save them. That's why I tried to kill myself earlier, not just because of that dumb hollow, but because I don't feel right living while my loved ones have died thanks to me." I said shedding a single tear. "I'm an abomination, a being not meant to exist, a being only wanted to be used for power..."
I felt them leave and I sat there staring at the bloody scar reminding me of that day. A tear fell on my hand causing me to touch as I hadn't cried in a long time. I started humming a song and little did I know I was singing.
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world, mad world, mad world, mad world...
As every person's face flashed passed through my face, I cried how I failed them. And I was selfish enough to seal away my reiatsu. Now I'm too tired to even get up, I'm probably making Kenpachi-kun worry about me. I always mess up...don't I?
