Chapter 19: Hangover Part III

-Present-

"Wait I have to ask, Aizen IS defeated right?" Ichigo questioned in concerned causing Hanataro to cough uncontrollably.

"You can say that…"Zangetsu intoned sounding very uncomfortable, thus increasing her master's worry.

"Aizen has been…taken care of if that's what you are asking but the future of Aizen will have to wait until I finish this tale, or else you might do something rash." The medic said sternly making Ichigo reluctantly agree. Something then clicked in the teen's brain making him gape.

"Holy fuck…I don't know how yet, but somehow I defeated Aizen and became the new leader of the Gotei 13…while drunk off my ass!" Ichigo said with a grin. "Am I awesome or what?" Soifon rolled her eyes at his attitude. She leaned over and gave him a peck on the cheek, paralyzing him in shock.

"Yes darling, but let Yamada-taicho finish his tell there is still much you need to know." The petite captain said gently. Ichigo just slowly pointed a finger at her before turning to Hanataro with his best poker face.

"How long till you explain what the hell happened to her?" Ichigo questioned bluntly.

"We'll get there soon, anyway then not too much later you had your first encounter with an Arrancar named Grimmjow…" Hanataro began with a chuckle making Ichigo groan.

"Oh God, I got my ass beat didn't I?"

"Nope." The medic said making Ichigo look at him in disbelief.

"No way… how did I win?"

"You trained." Hanataro said before laughing hysterically.

-Flash Back-

Hiyori P.O.V

Bleach OST: Comical world

"H-how did it end up like this?" I thought in disbelief as my vision blurred. My body ached all over and I couldn't stop from coughing up blood. I glared up at the back of the orange haired brat's head.

-Flash back-

General POV

"I'll show you the power of the mask." Hiyori growled menacingly before launching herself at Ichigo who much to her annoyance yawned before grabbing her blade with his hand.

"Sorry…" Ichigo began with a slur as white material began forming on his face. "I have 99 bitches…But a MASK AINT ONE!" Ichigo roared as he slung her across the room.

"You fucked the line up!" Ogichi roared fromwithin Ichigo's soul. Ichigo then pulled off half of his mask before stomping his foot down angrily.

"Nu-uh!" Ichigo shouted before punching himself across the face.

"Uh-huh!" Ogichi countered before using Ichigo's left hand to punch the boy in the face. This continued for about fifteen more minutes until Ichigo finally punched the rest of the mask off. Ichigo then turned to the downed Hiyori with a thumbs up.

"I won!" He said as his face was covered in self-inflicted bruises making the petite blond sweat drop.

-End-

Hiyori POV

"To think I lost to this idiot!"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you but you don't have the training I'm looking for." The young man said to me from over his shoulder as he walked to the door of the warehouse. I looked up in wonder at his kind voice. "Wait for me, I'll protect you from Aizen." He said with a smile as the sun from the door made his body glow and as he soon as he left I felt my face heat up.

"Kyaaa!"

POV end

Previous conversation, what had really happened.

"Damn it Ichigo throwing her that hard might have given her a concussion. Look at her you can tell she's gone delusional!" Zangetsu shouted angrily making the drunken teen look at the blond.

"Sorry but your training sucks." Ichigo said before kicking the door open. "Whatever, I'll kick Aizen's ass for ya."

"Kyaaa!"

"What's wrong with that bitch?" Ichigo asked in confusion as he continued his trek home. "Whatever I still need to train or else I won't be ready for Grimmjow tomorrow morning."

"I don't know why you are training; you should be more than strong enough to take Grimmjow down now."

"You just don't understand Zangetsu! This is a matter of pride, or did you forget when he punched me twenty times in the face?"

"Well how do you plan to "Be ready" for Grimmjow by tomorrow?" Zangetsu questioned making her master pause in mid step.

"I'll have to go ask my old teacher for training." Ichigo said with determination as he began to walk again.

"Oh God…What makes you think SHE would help you?"

"I'm desperate I have no other choice."

BGM: End

-Present-

A pale Ichigo was looking at Hanataro in horror as if he couldn't believe that he was that out of it to ask HER for help.

"Holy shit…how drunk WAS I?" Ichigo questioned morbid fascination. "Was the party even worth it?" Hanataro then gained a faraway look in his eyes along with Soifon and Nemu.

"The party was Mag-fucking-nificent" Hanataro said with a giggle.

"Orgasmic." Nemu said simply.

"Sin given physical form." Soifon stated as she quickly wiped some blood from her nose.

"Things that should never be done were done…countless times in fact." Zangetsu said with disturbed whisper. Hanataro shook his head before clearing his throat.

"Anyway…"

-Flash Back-

-The next day Ichigo's Homeroom-

*SLAM*

"Please oh great Tatsuki I need you to train me again!" Ichigo begged as he kneeled in front of his stunned class mate.

"W-what." Tatsuki stuttered out as she got out of her shock, not if she was hearing the boy right.

"I have a fight tonight and I need to be ready!" Ichigo shouted with his head still down.

"You are strong already you don't need my help." Tatsuki pointed out as she began to walk away.

"I'm weak." Ichigo said seriously making her pause. "Due to certain…circumstances I've had to rely on a weapon lately and I've completely lost my hand to hand skills, if you don't help me Orihime is in grave danger." Ichigo said with his head still down. Feeling a hand on his shoulder he looked up and saw Tatsuki grinning with tears in her eyes.

"You have no idea how long I've waited for this day! Come on Ichigo lets go now." Tatsuki said as she dragged the boy out of the room.

"Where are you two going? School just started!" The teacher yelled at them making Tatsuki turn back to her.

"Sorry, but this is more important we'll be back tomorrow." And with that Tatsuki and Ichigo ran from the room.

-Later; nearby forest-

Ichigo watched with apprehension as Tatsuki paced back and forth in front of him

"Okay I'm starting to have second thoughts…" Ichigo began as he took a step back.

"There is no fear in this dojo!"

"We're in a clearing!" Ichigo gaped as she continued pacing.

"There is no mercy in this dojo!"

"What dojo? Take it down a notch-*Bam!*" Ichigo was cut off as he got a foot to the face courtesy of an irate Tatsuki.

"No mercy!"

"What did you get yourself in to?"

BGM: Eye of the Tiger

"Five hundred laps, now!" Tatsuki ordered making Ichigo twitch. In his Shinigami form that would be no problem, but he was in his regular body now.

"Isn't that a little extreme-*Bam*" Ichigo went flying across the forest floor as he was kicked in the face again.

"Now maggot!" And with that Ichigo began to run.

-Later-

"Three hundred and two." Tatsuki counted as she sat on Ichigo's back while he did pushups.

"My arms!" Ichigo cried out in pain.

-Later; waterfall-

Ichigo gaped as he found himself on top of a waterfall while Tatsuki crossed her arms behind him.

"I'll die, you psycho bitch!"

"No fear!" Tatsuki shouted before kicking him off the mountain.

-Later; Local hot springs-women side-

Tatsuki sat back in the water and relaxed as Ichigo found himself holding his breath underwater.

"Time to test your evasion skills!" Tatsuki said before pulling Ichigo from underneath the water. She delivered a powerful slap to his face before pointing at him.

"EEK PERVERT!" Tatsuki shouted as every woman in the springs glared at the boy.

"Oh shit!" Ichigo shouted as he tried to run out the springs, while twenty women chased him.

-Later-

Ichigo and Tatsuki watched the crowded streets as cars flew by going well over the speed limit.

"Umm Tatsuki…"

"If you can dodge traffic you can dodge a punch!" And with that little tidbit of advice Tatsuki proceeded to Sparta kick Ichigo in to traffic with absolutely no remorse.

-Later; Sunset at a nearby Lake front-

Ichigo and Tatsuki were trading blows when finally Ichigo delivered a vicious right in to Tatsuki abdomen, pushing her back. She grabbed him as she fell bringing him down with her.

BGM: END

"You're ready." Tatsuki gasped tiredly with a grin. Ichigo smiled as he looked at her then as if some unknown message appeared between them Ichigo and Tatsuki found their selves in a passionate lip lock. Ichigo lowered his hand to Tatsuki's skirt where he then proceeded to-

-Present-

"Pause!" Ichigo whispered harshly as he put his hands in a time out position. "You mean to tell me I made it with Tatsuki?" His face was burning as he looked at the medic with wide eyes.

"Yup."

"And you somehow know every detail of the encounter?" Hanataro shrugged and pulled out a note book. He then flipped through it and looked at Ichigo with his best poker face.

"Right down to the measurements." Hanataro raised a hand to silence Ichigo when he saw the young man open his mouth. "Don't think about it or you'll just give yourself a migraine. Now on to the Grimmjow fight…"

-Flash Back-

That night, a Blue haired espada stood above the city with his hands in his pockets.

"Time to mess some shit up." Grimmjow said nonchalantly, but before he could begin he felt a surge of Reiatsu to the east of the city. Grinning to his self the Arrancar shot forward to the source. "Well maybe this won't be so boring after all."

-one minute later-

Grimmjow followed the source to the top of a large building where to his surprise he found Ichigo waiting for him.

"You finally arrived huh?" Ichigo said bored making Grimmjow smirk.

"Well, you are brave aren't you." Grimmjow asked as he placed a hand on his sword. Ichigo did the same, but to both Grimmjow's and Zangetu's surprise he stabbed the giant blade in to the ground.

"What..."

"We could spend the entire night fighting each other with flashy moves all day, or we could settle this like men." And with that Ichigo throw off his robes revealing a pair of black and white shorts with the word "Ichigo' in bright orange on the waistband. Ichigo's hands were covered in bandages he had on no shirt and he was wearing a pair of black sneakers. Putting a hand on his face Ichigo summoned his hollow mask.

"This should be interesting." Grimmjow said as he tossed his sword to the side and began hopping from foot to foot. "Let's see what you got." The two glared at each other before, by some unknown signal they charged at each other."

BGM: Rocky theme (Gonna fly now)

Grimmjow dodged a vicious right before returning with a left hook. Ichigo side stepped the attack and went on the offensive. With a quick left jab he knocked Grimmjow's head to the left before landing two devastating blows to the Arrancar's stomach. Grimmjow spit up blood before sending a kick to Ichigo's head which was barely blocked, but the force of the blow sent Ichigo back to the roof of the building.

"Take this!" Grimmjow shouted as he launched at Ichigo in full speed. Ichigo grunted before delivering a roundhouse kick in to Grimmjow's face sending the espada staggering back.

"Eat it!" Ichigo growled as he rushed the downed Arrancar with his left arm cocked back, but before he could land the blow he was forced to dodge a barrage of fists.

"Haha! Now this is fun!" Grimmjow yelled before he was punched in the face sending him flying across the roof top.

"I can't lose!" Ichigo said as he had a flashback of when Grimmjow made him look like a complete bitch. "My reputation is on the line!" Ichigo shouted as he ran at the sixth espada, who in return charge back.

"That hurt you bastard!" Grimmjow yelled as sent a punch at Ichigo's face causing a crack to appear on the mask.

"It's supposed to!" Ichigo shouted as he released a punch that sent Grimmjow in to a nearby wall Ichigo then followed up with a barrage of punches that all connected while the espada was against the wall.

Grimmjow POV

As I was getting hit by all of these punches I couldn't help but wonder if this was the limit to my power. Why was I, who exists at the top of the food chain, being defeated by this boy? Every punch he sent me reminded me of what I have done to reach where I am today, all of the prey I deemed as weak that I have killed.

Was this as far as their lives could take me? I frowned as I caught the next fist.

No

I would not be defeated like this! And with my faith in my abilities renewed I grabbed the boys head, and kneed him with all of my power in his face, shattering half of the kids mask and sending him flying across the rooftop. Good it ended I'll finish this fight now. As I stalked across the building I saw the boy begin to stand up much to my shock.

What was he? Why did he fight?

"Come on Ichigo you can do it!" Turning to the voice I found a petite black haired Shinigami yelling at the boy with tears in her eyes.

"You got this Ichigo." Behind her was the one of the largest humans I have ever seen and next to him was one of the bustiest.

"Come on Kurosaki-kun!"

"Don't you dare lose Kurosaki!" A girl with glasses said as they watched their comrade stand up. What was this? Was this his pack? This must be what he fights for. Suddenly I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.

Something to fight for.

What did I have to fight for?

I felt a since of dread as I realized the answer to my question.

Nothing

I could only watch paralyzed as the boy charge at me in rage as the rest of his mask shattered. Was it all a waste after all? I'll know after this, after all fighting for yourself is the true key to power…other

Right?

I charged forward and we both met in the center of the roof Time seemed to stop for a second as we each glared at each other companionship versus solitude. And as quickly as time stopped, it resumed and we both dealt powerful blows to each other's face. My head felt like it exploded but instead of sailing back I just slumped to the ground. I expected the boy to follow me but he stayed standing, much to my disbelief.

Well fuck, my decisions in life were wrong.

How about that? I chuckled as darkness overcame me.

Ichigo POV

"I won…?" I gaped at the fallen espada for a second before raising my fist to the sky. "I WON!"

"Ichigo…"
