Here is a new chapter.
Chapter 11: Rainbow battlefield
Three pairs of wings flapped in the air. Both owners of the wings watched the other's movements with narrowed eyes. Hawk yellow met gold on black. The head of the raven head's face had a strong jaw and beak like nose. Bird like eyes and a helmet sort of mask on his head resembling a hawk. The man's hair was done like that of a Native American, the man was fairly tanned and bulky with wired muscles. All over his chest he had red tribal markings like that of the Native Americans. The man's bird of prey yellow eyes looked on with a strange mix of awe, fear and respect at Ichigo as his double wings carried him in the air without a struggle.
He watched as the wings moved in perfect sync, as the larger upper wings moved back the smaller ones rotated almost like a dragonfly's wings. It was so odd yet brilliant to watch that Abirama Redder almost forgot what he was there for. Redder took a shaky breath and looked Ichigo in the eye.
"I guess you know who I am, who I work for as well as what this is all about?" the man's rumble of a voice came out as he shouted form where he was standing on a opposite building ledge.
Ichigo didn't say anything for a few minutes but the look in his eyes was clear that he was contemplating something. With a swipe of his hand over his face the frightening mask formed out of gathering energy. It seemed that the mask was like a helmet that a knight would wear before going into a fight. A watery release of breath was heard. Redder tensed and readied himself to release his demon form.
However Ichigo still didn't move. He was looking left and right down at the street, back up at the surrounding buildings then back up in the air. "Hmmm…" a lone black long nailed finger moved to scratch just behind the left horn head slightly tilted to the side. "Ah…" a sound that was more like a sigh then a release of sound came as the lower half of Ichigo's face moved to open his mouth. A grin started to form on the full lips showing sharp teeth that looked like they were just as deadly as the claws and deadly sword. The lower teeth were on show as the upper teeth were covered by the mask's equally sharp and intimidating set of teeth.
The grin was suddenly gone, Ichigo along with it as he moved to quick for the bird demon to move. A clawed hand was wrapped tightly around his neck cutting off his oxygen supply. Gold eyes narrowed in a glare that sent shivers down his back. "Let's play…" the watery voice mocked and Redder found himself thrown into the air too fast for his wings to adjust. As he was about to find his balance in the air he was brutally kicked in the side sending him soaring through the air yet again, when he slowed down he was punched in the face sending him downwards with the help of gravity and the force of the punch.
It went on like this; Ichigo either kicked, punched or threw the demon around like he was a simple ragdoll. All those watched in varying levels of amusement. It was clear that Ichigo was playing with the demon like a cat played with a mouse. The smile of pure joy of the orange haired male's face was clear to this as well. Ichigo soon grew bored and started to hit harder. The last knock sent the hawk demon flying the a nearby rooftop lower that Aizen's floor making it possible for them to see what the raven head was going to do as Ichigo remained where he was looking down at the demon.
"Come on ya pansy release!" Ichigo roared his watery voice making a real roar noise as he yelled. Making birds fly out of trees on the sides of the road and humans look up. The air around Ichigo started to heat up and make heat waves in the air distorting the air around the man, his long pieces of orange hair floated a little as Ichigo raised his energy releasing it into the area around him
Redder finally dragged himself into an upright standing position and gasped for breath before he allowed his demon form to take control. He yelled but it ended in a hawk screech making everyone who could see and those who were somewhat sensitive cover their ears.
A flap of wings made everyone look to Ichigo's opponent. The man gave up his arms to improve his wings, his feet were that of a hawk, sharp talons and bird shaped legs were pulled closer to the red feathered body, the man's hawk mask helmet was now lower over the majority of his head making his head look more bird like than humanoid.
Ichigo huffed and held out his hands extending his claws making them about roughly five inches long and glistering sharp like a metal yet it was only nails. A lower distorted growl was released as screech was released in retaliation.
"Oh I know!" Ichigo suddenly piped up his watery voice sounded odd in the happy almost childlike tone. Redder cocked his head to the side. "What?"
Ichigo gave another nasty grin to Redder before he spoke, he looked into odd directions meeting all the eyes of Baraggan's men.
"Why don't we put our demon sides against one another? When one of you is killed the other takes their place!" Ichigo spread his arms wide and laughed. "But first I'll have to cancel out my angel energy…" as he said this the angelic feeling that was mixed around Ichigo suddenly dropped becoming near nonexistent.
Ichigo's hands started to go black, this went up till mid bicep. His legs did the same going black till mid thigh. The black tear like substance ran down Ichigo's face in even think strips like that when he released his maturing stage. His horns grew a little in length and went full on black as did his tail. The loose fabric tightened, turned white and formed into thick natural armour that resembled Isshin's when he was in demon form yet only covered what was needed, the armour blended into the skin. What scared most of those around him was the shocking resemblance to Shiro when the lower jaw finally formed completing the mask. Golden eyes were wide as they looked around as if he was exited like a child getting a new toy.
Redder was the first to move as it was his turn still at capturing the red head but he was unnerved to the bones. This was just a nightmare walking or flying in this case. Hunched forward and growling impatiently Ichigo finally roared out again and gunned for the bird demon who barely dodged the swipe of very scary looking claws. The two rows of teeth with longer canines suddenly cracked open as if they were melded together. A blue tongue slipped out and ran over the sharp teeth.
A slow intake of breath was heard before a black of energy was roared at the bird demon hitting him full force. A screech almost scream was heard as the red feathery body was swallowed by the black energy that looked like it was eating the demon alive. When the blast passed through and dispersed the smoking heavily bleeding body fell to the top of the roof top again with a thud. A low growl was thrown at the body as if he was demanding the bird demon to stand and fight. Redder gasped and stood through the pain. He looked over to the monstrosity in the air and gulped.
Even Ggio didn't taunt him for being a chicken as he was still to stricken at what he was seeing.
The brunette was also just as shocked along with all those around him, Ichigo was suppressing his angel side all for his wings but Aizen doubted that those could change shape. The white nearly full demon was positively vibrating with energy as he wanted to move.
Aizen knew that the three remaining goons were more powerful than Redder but seeing as Ichigo fought and killed a Menos Grande these lower rank demons were dead demons talking.
Shooken from his thoughts AIzen watched when Ichigo raised his clawed hands and made a grabbing motion with one hand while the other remained in a claw position ready to strike. When the hand making grabbing gestures made its sixth twitch a compacted ball of energy was formed. It was no bigger than a golf ball, it shook violently as it was compressed into the small sphere. The mouth of Ichigo's mask closer after he roared one more time, this roar sounded like he was angry for not getting a proper fight out of the bird demon.
With a flap of both pairs of wings Ichigo was sent forward and down at the weakened demon who could only watch as Ichigo landed only a few inches from him, he had no time to scream as the ball of energy was thrust into his open mouth. A pair hands held his mouth closed forcing him to swallow the ball of energy. A low watery chuckle made his look up to the red head in front of him now a few feet away.
A slow exhale was heard from the red head before Redder started to scream and convulse in pain only to explode into chunks and internals sending a dark purple red rain fall of blood over Ichigo colouring the white skin and armour. The mask opened up again where the blue tongue moved to lick up the blood from the lower jaw.
Gin wasn't smiling anymore. If he were in a cartoon his jaw would have hit the floor along with those around him. Grimmjow was stuttering trying to say something. Ulquiorra was slightly opened mouthed gawking a little while his already big eyes went even more so as his emerald green eyes looked at the blood covered rooftop and a just as covered Ichigo. Harribell was standing wide legged and watching the red head with a shocked face. Her poison green eyes showed that her brain was struggling to understand what she just saw.
Starkk was wide awake and watching with interest. Nel was a mess worrying over the red head, she was afraid that Ichigo might not be able to fight his demon side down.
Isshin felt torn between being worried or proud. Ichigo really looked a lot like him now but there was just something off about the whole thing. It just didn't feel right. Was it because they were all just use to the mixed feeling that Ichigo gave off that now an almost pure demon Ichigo was just new? And the last move Ichigo pulled made him shudder. It was so demonic making your enemy swallow a blow of energy and watch as he explodes.
Aizen was having a similar fight in his head. But he had the strangest feeling of attraction to this form as well. Aizen wondered if Ichigo could suppress his demon energy as well. The full demon look suited Ichigo just as much as his hybrid form but this form just gave of an insane feel. A dangerous feeling.
Ichigo stiffened and jumped to the side as a large crab claw came crashing down making a hole in the roof of the building. Gold eyes looked on at the blonde crab demon. A few seconds passed before a watery laugh started to float around the orangette. Head tilt back the watery voice barked out laughter. But just as quick as it started it stopped and Ichigo dropped his head back and cold hard golden eyes regarded his new opponent.
The mid back long blonde hair and dark grey brown eyes that were lined with a lavender purple almost Celtic shape around his eyes. What got Ichigo laughing was the massive arm like claw that was taller than the man who owned it. It snapped in aggravation as he was laughed at.
Findorr growled and launched forward. Ichigo moved back and to the side with small movements that put him just out of reach. Findorr was getting mad it was clear by the face the man wore. Eyebrows scrunched up and an ugly sneer marred the blonde's face. The movements increased as the blonde gained momentum from his movements. Ichigo looked like he was almost dancing as his feet moved quickly making his body avoid being clipped, sliced or pierced but the sharp crab claw. Soon when they were in the middle Ichigo stopped moving allowing the claw to clamp around his left arm completely up to the elbow. Findorr looked warily at the orangette who was looking at him with a glint in his eye.
"Gotcha." Was all warning he got when a clawed hand swiped his arm clean off from his shoulders. He screamed and held the bleeding stump. When he looked up he was shocked to see the red head holding his arm with a look of confusion, he raised and lowered the clawed arm as if he was weighing the thing.
Shrugging he lifted the claw that was slid shut and held it like a spear. He huffed and shook his head before throwing the claw like a javelin at Findorr. The blonde yelled as his own claw ripped right through him cutting him in two. Light blue blood sprayed across the rooftop mixing with the red purple making the entire rooftop almost look like it was painted a violet purple.
Ichigo flapped his wings and moved back as he saw the new contender slam into the rooftop almost making the roof cave in.
The man was all muscle, bulky and had legs that reminded Ichigo of an elephant. The large ears at the side of the man's face were a giveaway as well… and the trunk that was where the man's nose should be… and the tusks jutting from beside the trunk.
The man hand a helmet as well that covered the top of his head and his entire forehead ending just above the eyes hiding what hair colour the ma had.
Ichigo tilted his head and huffed. Nirgge Parduoc looked down at the smaller demon hybrid, he was well over seven feet tall. His size clearly didn't intimidate the orangette one bit. Raising a large fist he brought it down on the hybrid that didn't move but caught the fist. The roof cracked as Ichigo bent his knees to help absorb the absurd amount of force that was placed on his crossed wrists.
Annoyed golden eyes glared at him "I would appreciate not destroying more buildings." The watery voice growled and pushed the arm off his wrists and threw an energy wave that looked like a crescent moon at the elephant man. The blast knocked him back making a sickening squealsh noise as he yelled. Big clumsy hands moved to his trunk, as he held it the trunk split in two showing green blood all over the roof and Ichigo who looked slightly put off having green blood dumped on him.
Looking at his nails in what was a pose of boredom Ichigo huffed again before lowering his hand and lifting himself off the ground and flying to the large demon in high speed just to deliver a heavy kick to the head making the demon fall flat on his back. Ichigo stood on the elephant demon's chest and raised a hand well over his head and made a claw gesture to the sky.
Black energy formed into a large ball. Ichigo looked the demon in the eye. "Let's see how strong you are ne?" Ichigo then allowed the elephant demon to raise his hands in an attempt to block the attack. The ball of energy was held still between the two but the large man was struggling to keep the energy away. Nirgge's arms started to shake from the strain of holding the energy away. The glowing golden eyes suddenly got an amused look that spelt trouble to Nirgge. He was right. Not a moment after Ichigo poked a long nailed finger into the sphere giving it more energy. The ball grew and thus making it heavier with power.
Ichigo huffed and jumped away to land on an air conditioner consult and sat down crossed leg with his chin resting on his palm while that arm rested on his knee. He looked on with a knowing look. Ichigo knew that the elephant demon could only old out so long before he grew tired and died.
That moment came after another minute of struggling, Nirgge's right arm gave in and the ball of energy landed on his chest, it glowed brightly before is started to heat up and explode in the demon's face and upper chest creating a hollow husk of his remains when the smoke cleared.
Green blood was splattered over the corner and a little over the edge of the building falling on unsuspecting humans who screamed in fright while looking up for any trace of what dropped on their heads.
Ichigo make a hum noise and shot into the air looking down at the rooftop, he cocked his head and looked around. He then placed his hands on his hips and hummed again. Ichigo looked like he was admiring the colourful graveyard the rooftop as become. The green was a lime green in hue. The drying red blood mixed with the blue in some spots while the green made an angry splatter over the middle of the roof like someone dipped a paintbrush in green paint and flung it at a canvas.
Ichigo moved to face the street to where Choe Neng Poww was balanced on the ledge of the building. The whale demon was one of the few who didn't have a tail. The man's jaw was like that of a whale, long and ended where a human's stomach sat. his long arms had webbed fingers and the man had down-set eyes and black hair. His large over ten feet body made cracks form on the ledge. Ichigo cocked a hip mid air and huffed. "You know you'll probably fall through the building before I can get to you." He jabbed and released a blue tongue to clean the new blood from his teeth.
Choe Neng Poww arched an eyebrow before opening his massive maw of a mouth that had teeth like that of a whale and inhaled the air like a vacuum, Ichigo was airborne had no grounds to hold himself down to and was sucked into the large whale demon's mouth before he was swallowed.
Now that looked barbaric to those who watched but they somehow knew that Ichigo would be fine because they needed Ichigo alive. Just as the while demon was about to turn he groaned and held a hand to his stomach. A low grumbling noise was heard as if the whale demon was hungry. Sickly bright yellow blood started to run down the man's chin as blood started to pour out of his mouth. He gave another groan that ended in a scream as his stomach was punched through spewing yellow blood all over the roof mixing with the colours already there. Ichigo was now covered in stomach juices, blood and a little bit of muscle or intestines.
He looked livid.
He was livid beyond belief.
A low growl came from the figure. His wings were covered in the slimy substance and was somewhat unusable for the time. The hybrid looked over his shoulder, glaring gold swirls started to glow a bright eerie light.
"That… was disgusting… and you will pay for that." Ichigo used his strong arms to crawl out of the gut and fall to the ground with a thud. He raised to his feet while Choe Neng Poww was trying to stem the flow of yellow blood that was making a large yellow puddle on the roof were little blood was.
Lifting his hand to the air in front of him in a hollow fist Ichigo summoned his sword and with one swipe to the side cut the hole in the whale demon's gut bigger causing more blood to gush out like a river. Now dead serious eyes glared at the dying whale demon with not a lick of sympathy.
"Just die you worthless fuck." Ichigo's eerie voice growled as the light faded from the sad looking eyes. The whole whale demon body fell to its knees before flopping down face first dead on the roof. Ichigo lifted his wings to spread out, small strings of the mucus like substance kept some feathers together.
With a growl of annoyance Ichigo pulled them tight to his body and ran for the ledge of the building before jumping down, for a few seconds it was as if the orangette moved in slow motion. Just as he dropped a story he let out a burst of power that effectively blasted away most of the mucus and made his wings usable. Ichigo shot in the air and hunched over while he glared at the last remaining demon now in his released state.
Ggio Vega was trembling. He was the strongest of them all he knew this as a feline demon he was more powerful on the scales of demons but this thing in front of him was something else entirely.
Ggio Vega was just coming to grips with the fact that he was going to die.
Ichigo looked at the feline demon in front of him, he was released and resembled Grimmjow a lot. They both had hind legs like that of a big feline and the feline fur on the sides of their necks, down their back and matching their tails but Ggio had longer teeth that poked out from under his upper lip as well as pressed down on his lower lip. His feline yellow golden eyes almost matched his in colour, both he and the demon before him had slit pupils that were blown wide in excitement. But something made Ichigo pause in going after this demon. As he was suspended in the air Ichigo growled and scratched behind one of his horns while tilting his head. With a huff he opened his wings wide before flapping them down and twisting his body to move in the direction of the paralyzed tiger demon.
Ggio watched unable to move as the orange haired hybrid landed right in front of him. Ggio studied the hybrid as it circled him. Some mucus was still clinging to some parts of his white body making it look like almost healed bruises where blood was smeared over a slow breathing torso. His hair was still stuck together in sections as the mucus dried and held them in almost dreadlock fashion.
A hum came from the eerie voice. A long nail poked his cheek, the nail was so sharp that the small poke cause a tear of blood to run down his cheek. The nail moved away quickly as if the bleeding was not what it intended.
"you're strong… yet very young. Younger than me." Ichigo said as he stood before the tiger demon. The hateful glare that was there a few moments ago was gone. Now there was a look of confusion.
"I'm 50 years old." Ggio answered truthfully. Swallowing when moving gold irises snapped to his cat like ones. A long nailed hand moved some of the fur that was near his neck away and saw no mark of ownership. This demon was here at his own freewill. A sad yet confused look filled the golden eyes, they moved back to the feline demon's.
"Why do you follow Baraggan?" Ichigo asked as he took a step back, one more step nd he's be off the building.
Ggio looked down while he thought about this. He for the life of himself could not come up with a reason.
"I don't know… I guess he was the strongest demon and I wanted to stay alive so I served him." Ggio answered truthfully.
Another hum came from Ichigo, with a burst of air Ggio looked up and gasped when he came face to face with Ichigo in his normal hybrid form, his now human face showed that he was thinking hard about something.
Gold eyes flicked to the brunette that was against Baraggan then at Isshin Shiba then back to his own eyes. They were now filled with a look of determination. "Do you follow Baraggan only because you want to live?" Ichigo asked.
Ggio answered with a nod. Ichigo then suddenly smiled. "Join us then." Ggio gawked at Ichigo before looking over to Aizen. It seemed that he man heard and nodded his consent. Aizen wasn't a man who'd throw away a demon with so much potential for someone so young in demon terms.
Ggio looked to Ichigo who was looking at him with a small happy smile. "Please join us?" Ichigo said with a tilt of his head.
Ggio then gave a small smile as well and nodded his head. Ichigo gave a happy smile before it suddenly vanished. Ggio tensed as Ichgio suddenly grabbed his by the waist and darted into the air barely missing Hammerhead's attack that crumbled the corner of the build that they had been standing on. Ichigo bolted of Aizen's office and deposited Ggio on the ground before he swooped down and speared the hammerhead shark onto the blood soaked roof.
Hammerhead growled at Ichigo and kicked him off. Ichigo regained his balance easily and righted himself mid air; he flapped his wings and stayed there.
Hammerhead roared and jumped for Ichigo. While he jumped he roared. "After I catch you and hand you over to lord Baraggan I will catch, skin and devour that fucking Ggio!" Ichigo's eyes flashed as did his hand that grabbed his by the throat.
"I. Don't. Think. SO!" Ichigo roared back, his last word sounding like his beast roar. His sword hand suddenly had his black long blade and stabbed the shark demon and lifted the sword over his head while Hammerhead was still impaled on it. With a nasty punch to the face Hammerhead's whole body twisted and that in turn made the blade twist his wound open and allow his orange blood to run down the pale hand. Ichigo looked down at the orange blood with an arched brow.
"So peculiar the different colours of blood you all bleed." Ichigo mumbled and hoisted the blade's hilt on his open palm and thrust his sword up allowing Hammerhead to fly off the blade and fall to the opposite side of the roof, he landed and rolled as he rolled blood smeared and spattered over the emptier side of the roof. When he stilled Ichigo landed near his head, raised his sword in an execution style before bringing it down decapitating the shark demon.
Ichigo looked around him and burst out laughing. Grimmjow chuckled from beside Ggio making him jump and look to his fellow feline.
"Why are you laughing?" he asked and watched as Isshin, Gin and the rest laugh while Aizen chuckled.
Grimmjow looked to the younger tiger demon and grinned.
"Look at the roof as a whole."
Ggio did and suddenly caught on and laughed along with everyone else.
The entire roof was covered in blood of different colours. The mass area was covered in a purple haze while the large yellow pool was at the upper top near the street while the green splatter was in a halo form surrounding the still sizzling husk while the orange streaked across the length of the roof. It looked like a large abstract painting. Violent yet in a weird way beautiful.
Ichigo hopped into the air and landed next to Ggio and Aizen. Aizen looked when Ichigo pulled at the drying sticky mess.
"Guess I need another shower…" with a groan that sounded a little to sexual he padded his way to the door bidding Everyone goodbye because he will be a while. Grimmjow snickered at the downcast look of the orangette in as he thought of what a task it would be to get the mucus off his skin and out of his hair.
Ggio stood on shaky legs, it was clear that felines were not meant to fly as his body was still struggling to come to terms that he was in the middle of the air with only two arms holding him from plummeting down to earth.
The raven turned to Aizen and bowed deeply at the waist.
Aizen looked the now in human from demon, his hair was on the short side but it was done in a messy style, his wide feline eyes looked at everyone in the room before settling on the brunette. The man wore a human suit and had his hair slicked back with a lovelock hanging between his eyes. His angled brown eyes watched him with mild amusement but no anger or wariness.
So you were Baraggan's feline demon we heard so much about?" Grimmjow asked with a playful grin. Ggio gave a small chuckle I guess yeah. He called me his cat sometimes but I didn't wasn't to die so I allowed him to call me as such even though I hated it.
A frown marred his face.
Aizen made his way to the raven and held out a hand. "Welcome to our side." Ggio happily shook his new lord's hand. The man seemed more friendly.
With a chuckle the brunette looked over to another raven Ggio recognised as Byakuya, he joined as well? Ggio suddenly felt very happy he decided to join. Aizen cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention.
"Grimmjow will show you around the lower area, you will also be bunking with him seeing as he has the only room that doesn't already have a bunking pair." Ggio looked over to Grimmjow and saw that the man gave a nod still smiling a cheeky grin. Aizen then looked to Byakuya and gave a nod and handshake before giving Rukia and the two males behind her a small smile and walked out the room probably to go and help his mate.
Aizen did just as Ggio thought. When he entered his apartment he heard the shower running. He walked into the large bathroom and leaned against the doorframe to admire his mate.
The shower was a three sided one wall sided box, it was large big enough for three people easily. Aizen watched how his beloved gently ran his fingers through the longer strips of hair as he brushed the shampoo into the hair slowly loosing the mucus. Aizen disrobed himself and entered the shower. He held Ichigo from behind.
Ichigo leaned into the brunette and looked up between his bangs. "Enjoy my art show?" Ichigo joked and got a chuckle from the brunette.
"It was a very beautiful rainbow battlefield."
Ichigo laughed and turned around in Aizen's embrace. Duo coloured eyes looked into deep rich brown. "I guess it was…" Ichigo then snaked his hands around Aizen's neck and kissed him passionately.
Damn…
Um…
I want to say thanks to those who defended me with their reviews from my recently released one shot. They made my day and made me not give up on writing so thank you.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
