I don't own Bleach, except Kubo!


Chapter 12: Helping Ichigo

Ichigo clenched both his hands like he had never tightened them. His eyes narrowed with pure hate, blood was boiling like a burning pot. He couldn't believe the killer was actually the criminal, Grimmjow, in front of him who was beating him like a punching bag. Somehow, he got his strength back and dashed his way towards the criminal, ignoring all the pain and shed-out blood from his body.

"RAAAAAAWWWHHHH! ! !"

Grimmjow, with his hands shoved in both pockets, dodges Ichigo's fists of rage one by one. He can easily see his action was slow due to his consumed wrath. He completely had no idea he was fighting the same kid during that night 15 years ago the entire time. He knew something was off when he first saw him at the amusement park with his hair color. The blue-haired man kept dodging and dodging while Ichigo missed his punches with his cry of hate. When Grimjow caught the angry strawberry man's right wrist, he hauled him forward and landed a kick on the angry latter's back to make him fall on the ground.

"Tch! What an odd bastard... I knew something was oddly familiar about you, but turns out you were actually that annoying shitty brat when I killed your bitching mother!"

Ichigo was on the ground, feeling more frustrated than before. He lifted his torso up with both arms on the ground.

"W-Why... "

"Huh?" Grimmjow looked at the fallen strawberry. "Didja say something, strawberry man?" he nearly laughed when he call his name translation.

Ichigo forced himself to stand on his feet and turned his body at the killer with a dreadful face, glaring at him. "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU KILL PEOPLE LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY MY MOTHER! ! ? ?" he barked intensely with tremendous anger he had ever release.

Senna had never seen this side of Ichigo before. This made her more frightened of him, her body faintly shaking. Yoruichi released her arms on Senna so she can get some space for herself.

"Tch! You really wanna fuckin' know why? Fine then, I'll tell you... She's just a trash so I can get some money like all the other shits!"

"THEN WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR FREAKIN' REASON TO KILL THEM! !"

"You really want me to tell what's my fucking reason! ? Fine! It's MONEY! ! I NEED FUCKING MONEY TO LIVE! MONEY IS THE POWERFUL WORD THAT EVERYONE NEEDS THE MOST! ! WHAT CAN YOU POSSIBLY FUCKING DO WITHOUT MONEY! !" Grimmjow blurted, confessing his true desire, remembering his hateful years when he was a high schooler.


In his high school year, his principal, Aizen Sosuke, coldly suspended him due to his lack of attendance. Plus, he's been getting in fights with other boys, who didn't do anything to him, and took their money forcefully. Grimmjow was extremely furious about Principal Aizen suspending him, and had an argument with him, blaming those poor victims for not cooperating with him.

Aizen just shook his head, and had no other choices but to expel him. The blue-haired teen suddenly started grabbing the man's shirt then pushing him on the floor. All the other teachers saw this and quickly separated the bickering student from the fallen principal.

"FUCK YOU ALL!" Grimmjow harshly cursed at him and bolted his way out the school building.

Late at night, Aizen was returning home and noticed his house was dark. He walked up the stairs to his room, checking to see if his wife was okay. When he opened the door, his eyes widened in astonishment, shock- But most of all, horror. His wife was on the bed, with blood all over her torso and the bed sheet. Before Aizen could do something, a blade pierced his back, then slashed him diagonally. The killer then threw Aizen on the bed, on top of his dead wife's corpse.

As Aizen's body was getting heavier and more numbed, he slowly turned his head to see the face of his killer when the familiar face struck him. It was Grimmjow, one of the students he just expelled earlier, with a dagger in his right hand, and a grimly look on his face.

"Go to fucking hell... Principal Aizen~ !"

"Y... You... " Aizen tried to let out a word, but couldn't, so he dropped himself on his dead wife's corpse.

Grimmjow glanced at the bloody dagger in his right hand, then his dead principal. He knew revenge can be so sweet, but what he did just now... was soo thrilling, he doesn't give a shit about Principal Aizen nor his dead wife. A new dark feeling consumed him, something he had never felt in his entire life. He had changed into a new Grimmjow! Gripping his dagger's hilt with a big evil grin on his face, he let out a wild and a maniac laugh. He laughed and laughed for a few more minutes, stopped, then he walked out the room and stole Aizen's keys and his car.

Starting now, he'll get all the money from every single human being on this planet.


"All I ever wanted is to make this shitty world suffer, and I could get whatever the fucking shit I want!" Grimmjow boasted loudly, gripping both his hands tightly.

"You're insane! You think you could get money by killing people with your bare hands! ? What makes you think killing them and taking their personal belongings by force was right! ? What you've doing all these 15 years was too freakin' cruel - including my mother's death!" Ichigo yelled as his temper was increasing even more.

"Like I said before... I don't give a shit about the people I killed, even your bitchin' mama!" Grimmjow fired back.

Ichigo's temper was boiling to its limit. He charged towards the killer and gave him a piece of his mind. Balling both his hands and launching his punches, left and right at Grimmjow, but all missed.

Grimmjow dodged and dodged, not knowing what's his deal about all this mother crap and all the other things he barely heard. With a few more missed of the strawberry man's punches, he quickly found an opening and grabbed his collar and tossed him from behind. Ichigo landed on the ground near the shattered entrance with a thud.

"ICHIGO! !" Senna cried his name.

Grimmjow spits on the ground, reaching his right hand to the back of his belt strap. "Don't you ever give up? Man, you're a pain... But I'll bet you remembered this, don't you?" he slowly pulled out a hilt that was hidden and attached on his belt.

Ichigo got up and was in confusion. He widened his eyes in disbelief when the blue-haired man pulled out a sharp dagger with a small skull mark in his right hand.

Grimmjow grinned from his reaction. "I think you actually do~ This is the same dagger that killed your annoying mother 15 years ago!" he said.

Ichigo couldn't believe his eyes, seeing the same weapon that pierced his mom during that night.

So he still had it after these 15 years...

Senna gasped in horror, frozen in her spot, shocked from his blunt confession.

Grimmjow turned his eyes and glanced at his freed hostage earlier. He had totally forgotten about her, and had a better thought of provoking him again - in a brutal way. "Hmm~ Here's a better thought... " He moved his right leg back a bit before finishing his sentence. "-how would like to see... " He charged forward his way towards Senna. "IF YOUR PRECIOUS GIRLFRIEND DIE RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES! !" he finished, shouting with his dagger aiming at her.

Both Senna and Yoruichi heard him and gasped. Senna was frightened, and was about to run, but Yoruichi stepped in front of her.

"Senna!" the tanned woman spread her arms, defending her foster daughter-like she had taken care of her the most for 20 years.

"Ms. Yoruichi!" Senna cried out.

"Yoruichi!" Urahara cried out from the shattered entrance.

Yoruichi shut her eyes, and waited for the blade to come. She heard Senna's gasped in fright and shock. But for whatever reason, she didn't feel any pain. For a moment, she wondered why the blade didn't cut her, and she would've approached her death. Opening her eyes and widening them in astonishment, seeing the person who just defended her. It was Ichigo who protected them with a big diagonal slash from his collar to his right waist. Lots of blood were pouring out heavily, dripping down to his body.

Grimmjow grinned evilly at him, defending those pathetic women with his life. He licked the blood on his dagger while walking away from the slashed latter.

"Uuuughh... " Ichigo coughed out blood, stumbling.

"ICHIIIGOOO! ! ! !" Senna cried at the top of her lung with hot tears shedding out of her eyes; her body was shaken from the terrible sight. Turning away and she ran inside the hotel.

"SENNA!" Yoruichi chased after Senna.

Ichigo slowly turned his back in disbelief. He thought Senna abandoned him there, alone, and in pain. "S-Senna... " he called faintly. His body was in deep torment, he couldn't follow her nor make a single step forward. He felt lost. His heart ached when saw her fled into the building.

Grimmjow stopped in his tracks with his cleaned dagger from his tongue. He turned, watching Ichigo saw his girl ran away from him. "Tch! Get a fucking grip. So what if your bitchy girlfriend dumps you through death." Tightening his right grip on his dagger's hilt before making his next move. "Now for the grand finale~ " He dashed towards his target again. "TIME TO SAY HELLO TO YOUR FUCKING MAMA! !" Raising his right arm up, preparing to strike him again.

"Ichigo!" Urahara stepped out the shattered entrance, deciding to help him but tripped and fell down. "OPFH!"

Within a few meters before the blade was able to make any contact with the facing-away-Ichigo, somehow, the latter caught Grimmjow's right wrist with his left hand. Grimmjow stopped his tracks, stunned, when he saw this. He couldn't believe what he just did. He actually caught his right wrist without even looking at him!

Urahara got himself up from his fall, and saw what Ichigo just did, surprised. Ichigo had also stopped Isshin with the same move whenever Isshin would karate-chop him from behind. Seems like all those trainings Isshin gave him made Ichigo a skillful man.


The running Senna went to the basement of the hotel, quickly descending the stairs. She removed the opening crates, looking for something. From behind, Yoruichi found her.

"Senna, are you really gonna abandon Ichigo like that! ?" she asked.

"I'm not abandoning him! I'm gonna save him!" Senna retorted, rummaging inside the crate. "Remember that thing you told me not play with it when I was young 'cuz it's highly dangerous?" she asked while taking stuff out of the crate.

"Yeah, why?" Yoruichi blinked in confusion from her change of subject.


Grimmjow widened eyes in disbelief. "W-What the fuck... Did he just... T-That's impossible!" He tried to pulled his right arm away, but Ichigo's grip was tightening his wrist. "HEY! LET GO!" he demanded.

Ichigo turned to the criminal with a threatening look in his eyes. His right hand tightened like he had never tighten in his entire life. In an instant, he aimed and launched a hard punch at Grimmjow's left jaw, using all his might. During the contact, the blue-haired man's left jaw was heard shattered with a LOUD CRACK when Ichigo punched him fiercely. Removing his left grip on the latter's right wrist, Ichigo sent him flying. Grimmjow landed on the ground with his body laying down, unable to move nor his fingers was twitching.

He's dead. Literally dead.

Ichigo panted heavily from his fatal blow on the criminal who murdered his mother. He used up all his energy on it. "...Go fuck yourself... in hell... you jackass... " Ichigo whispered before falling on his knees and dropping himself on the ground. His body feels heavy. He couldn't get up, and knew his blind buddy was the only one he had forgotten. He knew he couldn't handle the guy alone with his current condition.

Nnoitra rubbed his right eye, trying to open it from the tear gas bomb that was thrown at him. When he did, his vision was a little blurry until it was getting clearer and clearer within seconds. What he was seeing now on the ground was an unconscious blue-haired man that he recognized the most. Getting up on his feet and walking towards him, standing in front of him with a serious face.

"You're finally dead, huh?" he said before giving the fallen Grimmjow a hard kick in the face. "GOOD FOR YOU, GRIMMJOW! ! I DON'T FUCKING NEED YOU ANYMORE! ! ALL THOSE MACKEREL SHITS YOU KEPT ON EATING MAKES ME WANNA PUKE AT YOUR FACE! !" With all of Nnoitra's yelling, he gave Grimmjow more and more kicks at his face.

He doesn't care about him, all he did was use him, and pretending to be his partner. The only thing he ever wanted from Grimmjow was all the money they stole together and claimed them for himself. Seeing Grimmjow out of the picture, he now has all the money and the ride for himself! After kicking the dead Grimmjow, he spotted the laying orange-haired man who broke two of his teeth from the amusement park.

Leaving the bloodied-face-Grimmjow and approaching to the fallen Ichigo; he's been waiting for this, getting his payback from that other day...

Ichigo couldn't get up, he heard footsteps coming towards him. A hand grabbed his hair and lifted him up, seeing the same tall one-eye-patched person from the amusement park. He remembered him, it was Nnoitra who named himself "The fast dagger stabber", except he forgot his weapon that day.

"Remember me, carrot shit! ?" Nnoitra glared at his lifting latter. Ichigo couldn't spoke a word due to his suffering pain on his body. "Silent type, eehh? Well... HOW'D YOU LIKE THIS! ?" He fiercely punched Ichigo below his abdomen, causing him to cough blood out. Next, Nnoitra released his left hand on his hair before quickly gave him a hard punch at the face. "YOU LIKE THAT, DON'T YOU! ?" He grabbed his neck with his left hand again before furiously punching him repeatedly. "THIS IS FOR BREAKING MY FUCKIN' TEETH THE OTHER DAY, YOU PIECE OF SHIT! !"

Ichigo couldn't make his body to fight back. His body won't respond to him. More blood were coughed out from his mouth, and pouring out from his slashed chest from the punching tall criminal. Nnoitra turned and savagely tossed Ichigo from behind, making him crash on the ground. Ichigo heavily panted, trying to stand, but failed, dropping himself on the ground before going unconscious.

Nnoitra reached his right hand on his pocket to get his dagger sheath, but suddenly something hard hit him on the right side of his face. "DAAAHH! !" he cried and fell on the ground. His right hand held the intense throbbing pain on his right cheek. He felt something loose and heavy liquid inside of his mouth before spitting on his right palm. What he spat out was blood and four of his broken teeth. Looking up with a murderous glare on his face to see who broke more of his teeth.

It was Senna holding a baseball bat, glaring at him.

"STAY AWAY FROM HIM!"

"Senna! ?" Urahara was about to charged in, but a hand caught his right wrist. He turned his back and saw Yoruichi who stopped him from intervening the fight. "Yoruichi?"

"Kisuke, it's alright. Senna knows what she's doing." she said to assure him.

Nnoitra threw his four loose teeth away before standing up in a pissed face. "So, the whore is here to save her groom, huh?" He proceeded his way to her.

Senna tightened her grip on the baseball bat, and will give this thug another whack for beating up her Ichigo. She was glad he had already beaten up the killer, Grimmjow, who murdered his mother. Now, it's her turn to pay him back after all he has done for her for these few days. She doesn't want to see him die in front of her... She wants him to live after she's done with this tall criminal with a shocking trick up her sleeve.

With Nnoitra coming a little closer, Senna swung the bat at him, but was caught by his right hand. She gasped in disbelief.

"You suck at playing baseball, ya know that, bitch?" He snagged the bat away from her hands and kicked her on the ground before slamming himself on Senna's legs to prevent her from escaping. Throwing the bat next to him and reaching his right hand in his pocket, taking his dagger sheath out.

Both Urahara and Yoruichi widened their eyes from Senna's last resort. "SENNA! !" they cried out.

Senna was shakened from his next move. Nnoitra held the hilt of the dagger, removing it from the sheath and threw it on the ground. "Let me tell you this, slut, once I'm done you, you'll be seeing your dead groom soon!" He held both his hands on the hilt, aiming his blade at her before rising his arms in the air. "Any last word?" he asked with a big devious grin on his face.

Senna stopped her fake shaken body, and grew a smile on her face. "Yes. Here's your present." she said.

Nnoitra stopped his arms and stared at her in confusion. A present? Looking at her right hand and saw something he recognized during his prison years and widened his eyes in shock. A taser gun! He had no idea how she got that thing in her own hand!

The laying Senna copied his holding dagger and aimed at his lower area. Nnoitra knew what she was gonna do with that thing. She's gonna tase him!

"W-WAIT! DON-" Before he can finished, Senna thrust her hands and struck the taser gun at his crotch. "WWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! ! !" He cried out with an intense shocking pain as if he was never shocked before.

Senna pushed him off, dropping Nnoitra to the ground while holding his dagger, and grabbed the baseball bat he threw a few minutes ago. She used the bat and smashed his face. Smashing his face repeatedly, Senna poured out all her anger for what he did to her during her last two days of being kidnapped.

*Whack!*

She had three things for them.

*Whack!*

One, they had left her tied up in a freezing night.

*Whack!*

Two, Nnoitra had brutally abused her from day one.

*Whack!*

And three, they left her starve to death.

*Whack!*

And for herself-

*Whack!*

One, she wanted Ichigo to live and have a perfect family together.

*Whack!*

Two, she wanted to support him until the end.

*Whack!*

And three-

*Whack!*

She never, and doesn't want to see her beloved man to die in front of her!

*WHACK!*

After giving the stunned Nnoitra the last smash in the face, she panted for a bit, and angrily yelled out at the top of her lungs.

"DON'T YOU EVER MESSED WITH BOTH ME AND ICHIGO! ! GOT IT, ASSHOLE! !"

Urahara and Yoruichi were a bit scared, seeing this side of Senna. They have never seen her mad before. Plus, this is their first time seeing Senna explode her wrath. Yoruichi saw how Senna got the taser gun when she was kicked by Nnoitra. She saw Senna quickly took it out from her waist when she tied the belt from the basement earlier.

Senna panted and dropped the bat on the ground before running to the unconscious Ichigo, dropping to her knees. "ICHIGO!" She shook him, waiting for an answer, but he wasn't responding. "ICHIGO!" Hot tears were shedding out from her eyes as her heart was in pain to see this moment.

Without knowing, a hand grabbed the unconscious Ichigo and lifted him in the air, placing on their right shoulder. Senna looked up to see who lifted Ichigo in such quick movements. It was Tessai Tsukabishi from the Infirmary Room.

"Te-Tessai?"

"Don't worry. I'll treat him with all my effort." he said before running into the building.

Before Senna could followed the tall tanned man, she stopped and heard a siren from afar. Turning her and saw two police cars were arriving in the area. Urahara and Yoruichi were relieved that they've arrive in time as they walked out of the shattered entrance and let Senna be the witness of the situation.

The police cars parked around the area as Officer Tosen came out of his vehicle. His men spotted Grimmjow's and Nnoitra's corpses on the ground. They've been searching for them for these long and tiring 15 years. They quickly took their guns out and aimed at them, surrounding them to see if they're alive. When the men finally realized they were dead, they carried them in the backseat. Officer Tosen walked up to Urahara, while Yoruichi embraced her foster-daughter in her arms, feeling safe, and told him to explain the entire thing. The blonde nodded as the four of them went inside the hotel.
