Hey guise,
I'm sorry that I took nearly a month to update this chapter ;^;
my laptop died all of a sudden and some kid hit a hockey puck onto my ankle so I was out.
But good news, I have my laptop back so I'll update the best I can
Gomenasai for the excuses but they're true

Tsukiku's POV

'This is just not happening'

I stood aside from the battlefield slightly wounded, and saw my comrades falling one by one.

'Aizen isn't a being anymore...'

"Hmft!"

Aizen punched Yoruichi halfway in her jump but she managed to miss it by 3 seconds. Isshin attacked him from behind but dodged the attack and elbowed Isshin in the gut.

'He's a monster'

Urahara then took his Zanpakuto, Benihime, and dashed towards Aizen while directed Benihime's blade towards him. But Aizen effortlessly deflected it and punched Urahara.

I gritted my teeth at the scene and I clenched my fist in anger and disappointment as I saw how everyone was trying so hard. But then Ichigo then held his hand on my shoulder, I turned my head to see him giving me a caring look.

"It hurts doesn't it? To see your comrades fall so easily by a monster. And I can bet that this feeling is new to you Tsukiku," Ichigo said as he smiled sadly.

I then felt tears well up in my eyes but I blinked and immediately stopped. I then looked down to see Sui-Feng, Ukitake, Shunsui, and Hitsugaya all wounded and down that it nearly killed me just by looking at them. I then felt a pounding in my heart and it just doesn't want to stop, I haven'y felt this way in years and the pain is almost excruciating.

"Ever since my father died, I only had Grandfather since I was all alone and isolated from the rest of the Soul Society. But now since I have you and all the other captains and shinigamis, I just can't help but want to protect everyone and it pains me this much because I never had so much to love," I softly said as I remembered the few weeks before this war in the Soul Society.

I had fun with Momo and talked about her love life, teasing her, laughing with her, and then there's Sui-Feng. From what I heard, she began smiling a lot more since I came. We had frequent races and duels and all of them were fun. Komamura and I would have tea together at rainy or peaceful fays in our free time, I would beat Byakuya in Shōgi (that one board game in Naruto), and block Kenpachi's attempts to slice and duel me. Mayuri is another thing but we're both on good terms with each other, and Unohana and I often have good conversations about our day. And finally both Shunsui and Ukitake are trustworthy friends and I could always rely on them, Shunsui can be a little perverted but other than that he is a good man. Ukitake is a kind soul who knows how to make me smile and comforts me at my time of need. I was never able to love so much ever since father's death and it nearly brings me to tears to imagine them dead. This is why I am to protect them the best I can.

"Ichigo, I have a plan."

Normal POV

Ichigo effortlessly deflected Aizen's attacks and was in a different state of Bankai known as Saigo no Getsuga Tensho (The Final Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer). He wore a silver bandages around his chest and half of a Shinigami's uniform under his waistline. His hair was raven black and was at least 3 times longer and is covered or surrounded by black-colored Reiatsu.

Aizen's face was now covered by a hollow-like mask. It had a large purple stripe that went vertically down his face with the eyes of a deranged beast, his new appearance included snow white wings which had skull-like heads attached to the border of the wings itself. The appearance itself was enough to frighten Hollows back to Hueco Mundo but Ichigo stayed put wearing a emotionless look on his face.

Tsukiku was no where to be seen and both Ichigo and Aizen were in a desolate location in Karakura town which was in a small region in the Soul Society. Ichigo and Aizen stared intently at each other while the atmosphere around them was beginning to get tense.

"So you have come in a fully new appearance, Ichigo Kurosaki," Aizen began.

Ichigo remained silent as he held his Zanpakuto in hand.

"I am here to protect my friends Aizen, and Tsukiku is one of them. So it's best for you to pay attention to battle rather than go off topic," Ichigo said as he punched Aizen in the gut.

Aizen spitted out some blood but flashstepped away from Ichigo and was shocked to see how powerful Ichigo became. But was soon stopped when Ichigo held his Zanpakuto and slashed Aizen. The slash then created a black/red Reaitsu.

"Mugetsu."

Aizen then flew meters no...miles away from Ichigo due to the Ichigo's attack. Ichigo then felt a sharp pain in his head a few seconds after he used the move.

Tsukiku came in an entirely different outfit. She wore white bandages around her chest area, a half-worn white kimono with a red sash, and her hair was held up with a hair pin.

Tsukiku then appeared before them both and walked up to Aizen, still in her dangerous Bankai. The most surprising thing happened, she kissed Aizen's forehead.
