Hawk's Story: Bleach

Chapter 29

"Who's Tsukishima?" Ichigo asked hesitantly

"He used to be our leader. I don't really know what he's after, but I do know he doesn't want you to be around us." Ginjo said. "And him attacking you friend Uryu and making contact with Orihime is just him trying to get your attention."

"Wait how does he know Tsukishima made contact with Orihime? We didn't even know that." Hawk said, looking into his mirror.

"My my, looks like we have a spy." Someone said behind Hawk.

"Ginjo, what do I do?" Ichigo asked.

"All we can do is speed up your training." Ginjo said.

"Who the hell are you?" Hawk asked.

"Me? I'm Tsukishima and I'm sorry but I can't have you interfering." Tsukishima said with a grin.

Tsukishima thrust his sword at Hawk. Hawk instinctivly blocked the sword with the mirror. It shattered and the pieces fell to the ground. "God damn it, know I have to pay Kisuke." Hawk said. Tsukishima went for another stab. Hawk lifted his leg high and stomped the blade into the ground. Tsukishima was completly caught off guard. Hawk proceeded to punch Tsukishima in the face, causing him to drop his sword. Tsukishima sumbled back and his sword transformed back into a bookmark. Hawk picked up the bookmark. "So you're one of those Fullbringers. Get out of here or I'll kill you." Hawk said, tossing the bookmark to Tsukishima. Tsukishima smiled and left. Hawk left to get a replacment mirror from Kisuke. He found Kisuke with Isshin.

"Ichigo just go home for now." Ginjo said.

"Fine." Ichigo said. He left the dirty apartment for home.

On the way he saw his dad walking down the street. His dad turned around and Ichigo hid around the corner. "Something wrong?" Kisuke asked.

"No, nothing." Isshin said. Ichigo peered around the corner. Along with his father and Kisuke he saw the outline of a person. It had to be a Shinigami. If he had to guess it was Hawk. "Let's go somewhere else." Isshin said.

"Why?" Kisuke asked.

"Just in case." Isshin said.

"What should I do? Should I chase them and demand answers. But what if they really are my enemies? I can't beat them as I am. It's no good. I need to get my powers back first." Ichigo thought.

They went back to Kisuke's shop. "So fill us in." Kisuke said to Hawk. Hawk explained the Fullbringer and their goal to return Ichigo's powers. "I see, he must be looking to take those powers for himself." Kisuke said.

"Wait who?" Hawk asked.

"Ginjo." Kisuke answered.

"You know him?" Hawk asked again.

"He the former Substitute Shinigami." Kisuke said.

"What! Why the hell does he want Ichigo's powers then?" Hawk shouted.

"Calm down, he wants Ichigo's Fullbringer powers, not his Shinigami powers. I don't know his plans though." Kisuke said.

"Then what's our plan?" Hawk asked.

"I'm hoping to convince Yamamoto to help Ichigo regain his Shinigami powers." Kisuke said.

"What do we do for now?" Hawk asked.

"Keep watching him. Make sure he doesn't die yet." Hawk said.

"About that. Tsukishima kinda broke the mirror you gave me." Hawk said.

"Really? Well then, I'll bill you later. Here's another one." Kisuke said.

"Did you know I was going to break it?" Hawk asked.

"What? I have much more trust in you." Kisuke said, covering his face with his fan.

"I know you're lying." Hawk said.

The next day Ichigo went back to the dirty apartment. Hawk followed and watch on the opposite roof. Riruka told Ichigo he was going to train in a fishtank and to her surprise Ichigo didn't argue. She sucked him into the fishtank. Hawk waited again for Ichigo to come out because he couldn't see them. While he was waiting Tsukishima was entered the building. He watched as Tsukishima went to attack the fishtank when it bacame engulfed in black energy. Ichigo appeared with a black kimono made of shadows "Well, to think you were hiding in Riruka's doll house. And to already have so much control over your Fullbring." Tsukishima said.

Ichigo charged him and slashed his shadow blade at him. Tsukishima parried. "Who are you?" Ichigo asked.

"Why, I'm offended. You mean they haven't told you about me. I'm Tsukishima." He introduced.

Chad charged him, sending an El Directo at Tsukishima. This put a huge hole in the wall. Chad jumped out onto the roof. "You fool. Don't make the situation worse. We can't afford to tell him about Tsukishima. We don't know how strong his Fullbring is. Telling him Tsukishima attacked Orihime will only hurt his performance." Ginjo said.

"I see. You guys were looking out for me. I appreciate that." Ichigo said appearing fro behind. Tsukishima appeared again, unharmed. "So you attack Orihime. Did you also attack Ishida?"

"What do you think?" Tsukishima said.

Ichigo charged Tsukishima. He blocked and jumped into the air. Ichigo followed and charged him mid air. Everyone was surprised Ichigo could use this much of his Fullbringer powers. "Well, I'm surprised you're so good. But it's still quite incomplete." Tsukishima said. He charged Ichigo and sent him flying to the ground. He charged Ichigo again, but Ginjo blocked it. "Do you really intend to interfere." He asked Ginjo.

"Ginjo step aside. I can handle this." Ichigo said. Ginjo elbowed him in the back of the head.

"You dying is not in my best interest." Ginjo said.

Ginjo and Tsukishima clashed. The swung and blocked at each other. Tsukishima dropped down to the roof and Ginjo sent a huge energy wave at him blowing up that part of the building. "Wow, you're such a menace. Destroying buildings like that, what will people say?" Tsukishima said. Ichigo attacked from behind, but Tsukishima blocked. "Why do you keep trying with your incomplete Fullbring?" He asked. Ichigo increased his power, burning Tsukishima's hand. "Well I'm impressed you keep evolving at such a rapid pace. I like you power. It might become as poweful as your previous powers." He taunted.

"Invaders Must Die." Yukio said from behind. He trapped Ichigo in his gaming device.

"Why didn't you trap me?" Tsukishima asked.

"I don't have the power to capture you. Plus you can leave this way." Yukio said.

Riruka put a gun to Tsukishima back. "Get lost." Riruka said.

"Oh your love gun." Tsukishima said.

"You would know, you made it." Riruka said.

"You see I didn't trap you because of the crowd down there. If they were to find out about you what would you do?" Yukio asked. Tsukishima's smile went away and he left.

After Ichigo was released by Yukio, Hawk left to report back to Yamamoto so they could take action as fast as they could. He knew Ichigo was going to continue his training, but that wouldn't be enough to stop Tsukishima.
