Hello again, my friends. I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. A combination of lack of ideas and motivation problems contributed to this. Please bear with me, and for those of you with the patience to stay with me so far, congrats. *Smiley Face* Also, I suppose this is a story sort of after the blood war, but the war went down differently. Obviously, I won't go into detail on it, but know that it went down in a way that this story makes any form of sense. Hopefully that's enough plot armor for you.

Kenpachi stood with a manic grin on his face, "This'll be fun!"

Ichigo's eyes widened as Kenpachi took the primal stance he had at the fight with Aizen. "Uh oh."

"Bankai!" Kenpachi could barely contain his excitement as the ever-present Yachiru dissapeared, and his skin reddened, his already crushing spiritual pressure tripled and all other captains visibly slouched.

Ichigo was given no time to prepare as Kenpachi flashed towards him. He raised his sword to block just in time, but was thrown back outside of the Captain Hall where what appeared to be a battle going on. Or at least it was going on, until the pressure Kenpachi and Ichigo released pushed them to the ground.

The pause Ichigo took to take in the scene of his friends along with several lieutenants flat on the ground was just enough time for Kenpachi to land a significant blow to Ichigo's mask, actually cracking it.

Ichigo, feeling the change immediately, pulled his hand over his face to repair it, while blocking yet another staggering blow with the other. "Wow, Kenpachi, you've gotten immensely stronger since the Aizen fight!" Ichigo then went on the offensive, which Kenpachi blocked with his own blade.

Having gained more control over himself since his original use of the Bankai, Kenpachi spoke. "I was right," he growled, "This is fucking amazing!" He emphasized the last word with a vertical slash back at Ichigo, which was blocked by Tensa Zangetsu once again. The shockwave behind them, however, broke one of the many walls of the Seireitei in two.

"Geez," Ichigo sighed, "Even though it wasn't me, I'm sure Byakuya will hold it against me." He frowned. He needed to end this quickly, but the only way he could would cause huge destruction. He decided that the longer the battle went, the more destruction it would cause, so he raised his sword. But before he could start the invocation of getsuga, new words came to mind. "Hollow art: Cero, Kingslayer." Before he knew it, he was behind Kenpachi, the Cero beam along his blade that he never noticed had formed dispersed, and a deep gash opened on Kenpachi's stomach. Ichigo's mask then crumbled and he collapsed, panting. Kenpachi had already passed out, and the pressure that had previously saturated the air evaporated.

As Ichigo's friends got up, Orihime dashed to Kenpachi and began to heal him. She looked at Ichigo with a mixture of awe and worry. "What... what was that?" She whispered.

"I... don't know." Ichigo panted. He slowly rose and walked over to Yachiru, who had just appeared after Kenpachi left Bankai state. "Sorry about that Yachiru... I didn't mean to hurt him so bad."

Yachiru took her sheathed sword and knocked Ichigo over the head with it. "Silly Ichi, Kenny had lots of fun. That's all he wanted, and the injury lets him know you were fighting seriously." She smiled and dragged the semi-healed Kenpachi back into the captains hall, despite Orihime's protesting. "Thanks jiggles!" She smiled once more before she turned and entered the hall with her captain.

The other captains walked out of said hall cautiously. "Ichigo Kurosaki," the head captain boomed, "we accept your proposal to ally ourselves with you once again. However, we have conditions."

"Okay, let's hear them." Ichigo said optimistically.

"First, you must never again put on your mask in the Seireitei." Ichigo nodded his agreement. "Second, you must alert us of any new powers you have acquired since you fought the arrancar Grimmjow." Ichigo frowned but nodded again. "And finally, you must resume your duties as a substitute soul reaper," Yamamoto finished with the slightest grin, which Ichigo mirrored.

The less powerful soul reapers as well as Ichigo's friends had recovered at this point, and were all on their feet once again. The soul reapers that already new Ichigo were grinning, as were Orihime, Uryu, Chad, and Yoruichi. "Congrats kid," Yoruichi said.

"Idiot," Rukia sighed, "You cause so much damn trouble." She was still nervous around him since his outburst at her in the park, but she was slowly getting over it.

Ichigo sighed in relief. His life was finally going back to normal.

After that exhausting battle, he was ready to collapse into bed with Nel, so after confirming his agreement with the head captain's terms they headed to the senkaimon. "You didn't feel the need to help me, huh?" Ichigo asked sarcastically.

Nel's response was a giggle that almost made Ichigo shiver, and said, "I didn't wanna ruin Kenpachi's fun. Besides, I knew you could handle it and you are so so sooooo sexy when you fight!"

Ichigo grinned as he walked through the senkaimon with his green-haired girlfriend, tailed by his friends a few yards back. They made it back to the real world and all parted ways, going to their respective homes. Ichigo parted ways with a quick "Thanks guys," and made his way home with Nel.

They walked in the door, up the stairs, and just as they entered his room, he was hit by a wave of dizziness. He staggered to the side and cried out as a piercing pain lanced through his skull. Nel Caught him as he fell, and the last thing he felt before the world went dark was her warm arms around him and her soft breasts against his neck.

END OF ARC 1.

Well guys, sorry it was so short, but I wanted to give you guys a decent resolution, and five in the morning seemed like a great time to do it. Don't worry, I haven't abandoned the story, and I'll start writing arc two in a few weeks when the boredom of school forces my mind to wander once more. Arc two will feature a reappearance of a certain white doppelganger, and the introduction of a new, powerful enemy. Let me know if you want me to start a new story for arc two, or continue under this title in the reviews. This chapter did not go through my beta, due to availability issues, though they will return in a little while, so sorry about any errors. Thanks for staying with me this long, and I kid you not, if this hadn't gotten so many reviews I probably would have abandoned it for lack of motivation. Seriously, reviews are like my drug. XD
