Chapter 12: These open wounds

I looked around they had been discussing this for quite a while and I was bored out of my mind. 'Ugh!' I thought, getting sleepier by the second. Suddenly, to my surprise, the door flung open revealing none other that….! Hachswald, great.

"His majesty requests your presence." he always had that same formal tone!

"Yeah, yeah…!" I looked at Hachswald's arms, he was holding a large black blade with silver to it's side and it's handle was… all white cloth… Z-Zangetsu?!

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOLDING THAT!?" I screamed in confusion and frustration.

He looked at his arms and replied: "Oh…! This…." he trailed off and I was getting impatient.

"Wel-" He cut me off!

"Well you better be going to his majesty!" he scurried out of the room.

'That little..!' I thought still angry.

With his majesty and the other Quincy's…

Ichigo stared around at all the people, including an angry Mohawk. The Kurosaki teen made a tch sound and got one back from Bazz-B. His majesty had a sad look in his eyes, which was quite uncommon. Almost one to nothing…

"Everyone, we are going to capture Getsuga Tensho…" he received many scowls and tch's.

"Why?" Was all Bambietta said.

"He's my son after all… I want to see him…" the room grew silent. He stared at everybody and sighed. "I apologize for being selfish…" he turned to me. "Can you perhaps… Locate him somehow?" he asked. I thought about it.

"Perhaps…" I whispered to myself, I tried to track him down. "He's not here. I assume he went to…?!" I froze as I tracked where he was: the world of the living!

"Where?!" everyone was on the edge of their seats.

Tears fell down my face as I realized the grim possibility… "T-The world of the living…" I managed. Everyone's jaw dropped.

"Why would he…!" Bambietta realized and looked at me sincerely. "S-Sorry…"

'Not again! Everything, everyone! T-They…. Why do I still care?! I hate them…' Ichigo thought while his hollow's spiritual pressure rose. 'I hate them!' That was it… A hollow hole formed in his chest once again along with the white substance. The fur, the mask, the blood-lust filled eyes! 'Kill.' was Ichigo's only instinct right now. Not to protect, not to serve, not to be safe! He released a horrific hollow scream while everyone released their bows or other powers. Shiro could care less. He got into a battle stance as did the others.

'Finally a real fight!' Shiro thought.

With the soul reapers…

Sadness… Such a shameful thing to be displayed by the Gotei 13. Soul reapers were powerful and strong beings devote from feelings. So why? They had power and cold hearts, there was nothing to fear but fear itself, right? Doubt had clouded each and every mind in Serietei.

"Death toll over one thousand." confirmed the third seat of 12th squad.

"They're monsters devote from light…' reported 5th seat.

Aren't we all? No more time to worry…

A storm was brewing on the inside.

The world was going to be destroyed inside out.

And they couldn't do anything.

At Kurosaki Clinic…

'What a peculiar place…' Getsuga thought to himself as he inspected the clinic that now towered over him with a great shadow along with it. He shrugged and went inside not regarding the fact that people in there could actually see him.

It was a simple place, yellow walls, wood floors, 'necessities.' Didn't matter either way. A girl came rushing downstairs along with a man with a beard similar to a goat.

"Dad! You forgot something!" the little blonde girl screamed holding documents in her left hand.

"What is it!? I'm in a hurry!" he exclaimed before he stopped and looked at Getsuga who only stared back. "T-The final Getsuga Tensho?" he questioned what he was observing. Only two zanpakuto's could perform such a technique: Engetsu and Zangetsu. "Y-Yuzu! Stay back!" he shouted while his suitcase dropped to the floor.

"W-Why?" she asked as she continued down the dangerous path called stairs.

"Just ru-" he was cut off by a sword piercing his chest and blood profusely exiting his mouth which was now clogged. The young girl rushed down the stairs once she heard the loud thud, she would soon regret it.

"DAD!" She screamed showing her distress triumph her strength. Getsuga watched as she tipped him over and started calling his name to the dead man. "D-Dad… DAD! GET UP!" She begged desperately. "P-Please… Don't leave us…" she cried as a blade came to her throat as she turned her head.

"I will end your sorrow." Getsuga stated as he readied his blade.

Karin…

She ran towards the desperate screaming of her crying twin. 'Hold on Yuzu I'm coming!' she thought with determined eyes until she came upon them. Her eyes widened at the sight of her dead and goofy father on the ground.

"D-Dad…" she mumbled not understanding what was going on.

"2 people was enough in this house now there's a third." Getsuga grimaced the thought of having to kill any more innocence.

"S-Step away from my sister!" she yelled running towards him and her sister.

"Hmph." he sounded arrogant. He dodged a kick from Karin and sliced her to the ground.

"Y-Yuzu…! RUN!" She screamed with her last breath of desperation as her twins eyes widened.

"KARIN!" she yelled at the stop of her lungs.

"Now I will finally end your misery." he whispered as Yuzu closed her eyes.

'This is it… Death… Why? I-Ichigo… Ichigo…! Ichigo! ICHIGO!' she pleaded for her brother deep in her mind. 'I feel sick… Is this what it's like to know your going to die? If so, it feels awful. Hopefully it will end sooner than later.' she smiled knowing she would see Ichi somehow…

The blade hit her neck and it was over in seconds… No pain… No anger… No… Sadness…

'Karin… Dad… Mom… Ichigo…! I'm coming! WAIT FOR ME!' she breathed before the blade hit her.

Yuzu, Karin and Isshin had died on July 17.

"Yuzu… Karin… Isshin… I-I love you…" Ichigo whispered as he stepped onto the highest building of Karakura.
