Chapter Fourteen: The Long Awaited Bloody Rematch

Later that day…

Many Soul Reapers were walking over to the makeshift arena the SWA set up where the big event was to take place. Most were excited for the rematch between Ichigo Kurosaki and Kenpachi Zaraki. In each Soul Reaper's hands was a flyer that detailed several events that would take place before the big fight.

Naturally, most of the men were looking forward to the bikini contest almost more than the big fight itself…

Later…

Once most of the assembled Soul Reapers had finally found their seats, the festivities began in earnest. Amongst the audience was Mera, Tokie, Hasuka, Nonomi and Tsumiko. The five Zanpakuto spirits were wearing Soul Reaper uniforms to blend in, having been ordered by Nimaiya to not reveal themselves to any of the captains.

Mera was drinking a smoothie with a grumpy look. "This is such a waste of time."

Tokie sighed sadly. "I agree. I can't believe we got roped into this." She even started to tear up.

Hasuka and Nonomi, on the other hand, were cheering loudly, treating this like a vacation.

Tsumiko merely ignored everyone and was playing a handheld game out of boredom.

"Excuse me?"

Looking up, Mera saw Orihime and Rukia standing next to them. Orihime pointing at the seats net to them. "Are these taken?"

"Go right ahead," Mera said. Rukia and Orihime sat down next to the feisty redhead.

Rukia looked at the strange five and raised an eyebrow. "I've never seen you girls before. Are you new recruits? What squad are you in?"

Mera was about to respond when she saw Ichigo and Hanataro arrive.

"Hey, Orihime," greeted Ichigo.

"Hello, Rukia," smiled Hanataro.

Right away the Sword Five recognized Ichigo. His reputation was well known in the Soul King's Palace as the man who kept Aizen from invading. Ichigo waved to the five, having never seen them either. "Hi there. I'm Ichigo. Are you friends of Ruki-"

The Substitute was interrupted when Hasuka squealed and hugged Ichigo's arm, shocking him and his friends. "Hi there!" she greeted him with starry eyes. "I've been waiting to meet you ever since you defeated Aizen. Are you going to use Mugetsu on Kenpachi?"

The clingy girl disturbed Ichigo and made him blushed. "Um…no? How do you even know that?"

Orihime looked on in dismay, feeling a little jealous of the girl's bravery. Mera merely groaned loudly and facepalmed in annoyance. 'So much for keeping a low profile…'

Jumping on Hasuka's shoulders, the tiny Nonomi looked at the four friends. "Hey, do any of you have candy? I forgot to grab some at the stands."

Hanataro reached into his pocket. "I've got some. Captain Unohana has us keep a bag handy in case Lieutenant Kusajishi starts throwing a temper tantrum." He offered a few pieces to the girl, who happily accepts. Upon seeing how teary-eyed Tokie was looking, Hanataro offered her a piece. "Would you like some?" he asked with a friendly smile.

The female Zanpakuto spirit stared at him in amazement from his kind gesture, wiping away her tears as she reached for the candy. "Thank you," she said. Her cheeks started turning a light shade of pink. Hanataro didn't notice…but Rukia did, making her get as annoyed as Mera. The jealous girl tugged Hanataro's arm and pulled him back to sit next to her, giving the bandaged girl a glare before she turned her attention to the stage.

Ichigo also noticed Tsumiko sitting at the end of the row. "Oh, hi there," he greeted. But Tsumiko didn't answer him, merely looking up from her game to stare at him creepily before she turned her attention back to her video game. "Uh…was it something I said?" he asked Mera.

"Don't let it bother you. She's not the talking type."

"Oh well. Thanks again." He flashed her a friendly smile, making Mera blush in surprise before she turned her head and mumbled a "Whatever."

'Maybe this won't be such a waste of time after all…'

VIP Section

The arena's VIP section was reserved for the captains. Of the thirteen captains, nine were assembled in the stands: Soi-Fon, Unohana, Shinji, Byakuya, Komamura, Kyoraku, Kensei, Toshiro and Mayuri.

Byakuya turned his head to address Unohana. "Have the SWA finished their preparations?"

"We have. Captain Otoribashi is planning on a guitar solo for an opening."

Both of the Vizard captains shivered. Shinji shook his head. "I'm not…really sure that's a good idea. Take it from someone who's had to room with him for a century, the guy's taste in music is not for everyone. And if Shuhei's backing him up, we might have to keep the audience from rioting in anger…"

"Please tell me there isn't a third person performing with him…" Soi-Fon mumbled.

Unohana merely chuckled. "It's a secret."

With Ichigo & Co.

Near the ring where Ichigo would be fighting Kenpachi sat Ukitake. The Squad Thirteen captain was serving as commentary along with his two Third-Seats. "Good afternoon, everyone!" he greeted to everybody. "Are you ready for the rematch of the century?" The audience roared in approval, all of them eager for the fight to start.

"Yay, Captain!" Rukia cheered while Ichigo facepalmed. It was rather dismaying that everyone wanted to see Kenpachi potential kick his ass.

"Don't worry, we'll save the best for last!" Ukitake announced. "In the meantime, the SWA has arraigned for some entertainment before the big match. Our first event is a performance by Captain Otoribashi!"

A stage emerged in front of the fighting ring. On stage was Rose, holding his flying V guitar he'd acquired while he was in the World of the Living. Behind him was Shuhei, an acoustic guitar in his hands. "Good afternoon, everyone. Here's a song I wrote myself." Nodding to his partner, Rose started to play his song.

…And it sucked.

Kensei had apparently known better about Rose's music skills. The crowd started to boo the captain and lieutenant as they played. Ichigo and Rukia looked at each other while plugging their ears, both of them worried that things might get ugly. Luckily for everyone, Unohana's secret weapon came into play.

Out of nowhere, a third guitar joined in. And unlike Rose and Shuhei, the player was actually good. Ichigo and Orihime's jaws hit the floor as Chad took to the stage. "CHAD?!" they both gaped. The Fullbringer looked up into the stands and gave his friends a thumbs up before continuing to play his bass guitar. Pretty soon, the audience started to applaud and cheer, pacified by Chad's playing.

Chad's solo song lasted for several minutes. When he finished his melody, he bowed as the Soul Reaper's started to applaud him. He walked off the stage with a glum Rose and Shuhei. The artistic captain and the punk lieuetenant felt dejected after being shown up by a Human.

They passed by several of the lieutenants. Rangiku could only shake her head as Shuhei passed by. "I think you should throw in the towel with your guitar playing." The other lieutenants nodded their heads, making Shuhei walk away in shame.

While waiting for the next event, Ichigo looked around. "Hey, Rukia? I just realized something. Where's Kenpachi?"

Scanning the arena, Rukia also saw no sign of the spiky-haired captain. "Oh dear…I hope he hasn't gotten lost again…"

Meanwhile…

Kenpachi groaned as he ran around the Rukon District, far from where he was supposed to be. "Are we really going in the right direction?" he asked Yachiru, his daughter sitting on his shoulder like usual.

Munching on a candy bar, Yachiru looked down at Kenpachi. "Of course! Are you doubting me?" she pouted.

"I knew we should have brought Yumichika or Ikkaku if I knew we were going to get lost…" Kenpachi grumbled. This was his chance to finally fight Ichigo again and he didn't want it ruined from being late.

"Kenny!" Yachiru pouted harder. She smacked Kenpachi on the back of the head, much to his annoyance. "Don't be mean!"

Back to Ichigo…

Ichigo was sitting by himself. Orihime, Rukia and Hanataro had all left during an intermission between events. Mera and her friends had all left to go get more snacks. "Wonder who those five are anyway," he contemplated out loud.

"Don't trust them, Ichigo. Be real careful around those five."

Sitting next to Ichigo in Rukia's unoccupied seat was Zahna. The Djinn was back in her Soul Reaper disguise, her hair styled in corkscrew pigtails. Instantly Ichigo felt panic take hold. "What are you doing here?!" he hissed. "There's too many people who can spot you!"

When Zahna turned to look at Ichigo, her face showed how serious she was. "Those five work for Nimaiya."

Ichigo almost choked on his tongue, his fear growing by the second. Hanataro had told him that Nimaiya was a member of the Royal Guard, the one who sealed Zahna away. "What?! Then…that means that they already know! We got to-"

"Relax. They haven't ousted you two yet so they haven't found me yet. It's just coincidence that they happened to sit next to you. But keep an eye on them. They're Nimaiya's personal assistants. They are incredibly powerful. If they discover me, they'll have no trouble capturing me and will cause you no end of trouble."

Nodding, Ichigo breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay. I'll be careful. Make sure you tell Hanataro too."

"Already on it."

Zahna vanished just as Chad arrived. "Oh hey, Chad. Where'd you learn to play the guitar?"

"My abuello taught me when I was in Mexico. I figured I'd practice every once in a while," his friend explain as he sat down next to him. "Captain Unohana caught me in the middle of practicing one day and she asked me to come perform."

Ichigo nodded, looking over at the VIP section. "She made the smart decision. The crowd was about to go berserk." He noticed that Unohana wasn't in the stands as well as Soi-Fon. "Wait, where's all the girls?"

"Alright, everybody!" Ukitake said into the microphone. "Now it's time for the swimsuit contest!" The men in the crowd whooped and whistled in anticipation. "Our judges will preside over the contest and determine the winner. They are: Kisuke Urahara, Ganju Shiba and Hanataro Yamada!"

Hearing the names, Ichigo did a spit-take and coughed. He was surprised to hear that Ganju and Hanataro were involved with the swimsuit contest, especially with Kisuke. The three judges were sitting at a table facing the stage. Kisuke sat on one end, Ganju in the middle while Hanataro sat on the other end.

Kisuke had the biggest grin on his face. "Okay! Let's get this party started. Doesn't matter if Ichigo or Kenpachi wins. The three of us are the real winners!"

Ichigo facepalmed. "Wow, Kisuke. Ever the pervert…"

"Who's ready to see some skin?" shouted Kisuke. When the crowd roared with approval, he turned to Ganju. "You're up."

Grinning, the burly Shiba stood up and pulled out a round ball from his satchel. It was the firework that Ganju had previously showed before. Lighting the fuse, Ganju hurled the ball high into the air. The ball exploded in a flurry of multiple fireworks, painting the sky in a rainbow of colors. Ganju posed in front of the crowd and grinned wild.

Mera and the Sword Five came back to the stands with snacks in hand. "Oh hey. Have you seen Orihime and Rukia anywhere?"

"No." Mera shook her head. "Haven't seen them."

Ichigo looked at the five with a wary expression, taking care not to let his ring fall into their view. He turned his attention back to the show before noticing in the crowd that Nemu was no longer sitting with Renji.

Meanwhile…
VIP Section

Though they were in their seats, Shinji and Shunsui were both on edge, watching excitedly with perverted grins on their faces. Toshiro, Shinji and Byakuya looked at each other and rolled their eyes in annoyance.

"You two need a cold shower…" Toshiro groaned.

Back to Ichigo

The show started and in an instant, Ichigo's eyes almost popped out of his head. Unohana, Soi-Fon, Rangiku, Nanao, Isane, Kiyone, Nemu, Yoruichi, Rukia and Orihime all came onto the stage and lined up. They were all wearing their swimsuits from the time they went on their beach trip. This time Momo, Lisa and Mashiro were joining them. Momo wore a tankini with a floral design on her blue top and white shorts along with it. Lisa wore a v-shaped black monokini. Mashiro chose to wear a g-string green bikini, her scarf gown and her hair down. All of the men started cheering and rooting loudly, with several girls in the crowd blushing or even getting nosebleeds. Shinji, Shunsui, Ganju and Kisuke all had perverted grins on their faces.

Ichigo and Hanataro blushed hard. After all, they'd already fucked several of the girls on the stage and had seen them in all their glory for themselves. On stage, Orihime and Rukia found Ichigo and Hanataro staring at them, making them blush from such heated stares.

Kisuke clapped his hands to calm down the audience. "Congratulations, ladies. You're all pretty much winners in everyone's eyes. A shame you so rarely show off some skin these days."

"That does it!" shouted an irate Soi-Fon. "Having everyone ogle me is bad enough but I will not stand you giving me lip about it!" She held up a hand with Rukia, who was also angry. "Eat this!"

The two short ladies fired spells at Kisuke and blasted him out of his chair. The audience laughed at the shopkeeper's misfortune, Ichigo also getting in a good laugh at Kisuke's expense. Yoruichi looked down at Kisuke annoyingly. "Shut up, Kisuke and tell us who won before you stick your other foot in your mouth."

After Kisuke got back in his chair, the three men huddled together and talked for several minutes to decide who won the swimsuit contest. Finally, Kisuke stood up. "We've decided that the winner…is Captain Unohana!"

Many of the audience cheered as Unohana took a bow in respect. She glanced over at Hanataro and flashed him a quick smile and winked, earning a blush from the meek medic. Most of the girls clapped for the captain but Yoruichi, Lisa, Rangiku and Mashiro pouted at losing.

Kisuke got the audience's attention once more. "Alright folks. We'll have the ladies vacate the stage and move on to the next-"

BOOM!

Everyone looked up to see something land at the top of the stage, almost spitting the place apart from the impact and scaring the daylights out of the three judges. With a massive grin on his face, Kenpachi stepped onto the stage. "Ichigo!" he shouted. "It's time to fight!"

"And exit stage left…" murmured Ichigo as he tried to sneak away.

Sadly, his hope of fleeing died with Yachiru spotted him. "Hi, Ichi!" she cheered, pointing right at the sneaking Substitute.

With an excited grin, Kenpachi whipped out his Zanpkauto and pointed it at the teen. "Come down and fight me, Ichigo! Let's give these people what they came to see!"

Behind him panted Yumichika and Ikkaku. The two barely made it in time to catch up with the big captain, having left to go find him earlier when he hadn't shown up.

Hanataro nervously went over to the bloodthirsty captain, his sexual exploits giving him enough courage to approach the man. "Um…Captain Zaraki? The events aren't over yet. Your fight with Ichigo is last. Please be patient-"

"I don't give a fuck," Kenpachi curtly retorted. "I want to fight Ichigo, here and now."

The SWA all started to protest, angry that Kenpachi would ruin the big day after they put so much effort into the events.

"Silence."

Everyone turned to Captain Unohana, back in her uniform. "There is no reasoning with Captain Zaraki when he is so bloodthirsty. We all know this. It would be in everyone's best interests if we cut our losses and let the fight happen. We can arrange for the missed events later."

The audience, clearly feeling cheated, started to boo and protest Unohana's statement. But their protests didn't end long when Unohana and Kenpachi raised their spiritual pressures and glared at the audience. "Shut. Up," they both ordered.

Everyone got the message and the crowd went silent. Most of the lieutenants were down on their knees from being so close to the formidable pressures. Yoruichi had to shield Orihime from it lest she pass out. Sadly, being so close to Kenpachi, Hanataro had to be dragged away by Soi-Fon. Yoruichi raised an eyebrow as she dragged the medic past her. "Oh? I guess we're getting more fond of Hanataro after all?" she teased, making Soi-Fon mumble in embarrassment, her cheeks aflame.

Ichigo obviously was unfazed and Chad seemed to fare alright too. "Guess that's it for the show," Chad said glumly.

Sighing, Ichigo looked over at Meara and her group. He was surprised to see that they were unaffected by such intense spiritual pressure. It was then that he realized just how tough they were."

"Oi, Ichigo! Snap out of it!"

Ichigo yelped when Ikkaku and Yumichika grabbed him by his arms and started dragging him down below to where Kenpachi. "Guys! I can walk by myself!" he protested.

"Oh no!" Ikkaku grinned. "We're going to make sure you aren't going to bolt like usual."

"Remember, Ichigo. Cowardice is ugly," Yumichika chided as they neared the stage.

Ichigo kept yelling at the two fight-happy Soul Reapers to let him go wihle Kenpachi stared and grinned in excitement. The hour was so close at hand…

With Mera & Co.

Ichigo stood near the edge of the stage, Zangetsu in his hands while the captains and lieutenants circled the stage. Above him in the stands, Mera and the Sword Five were more focused in scanning the crowd but found no sign of their target. "Anyone see her?" Mera asked.

Tokie sadly shook her head, getting teary-eyed again. "No. Can we go home now? I don't want to stay longer than I have to."

"No. We'll leave once we see her or we sense her presence. She has to be here somewhere."

On the other hand, Hasuka and Nonomi were more focused on the impending fight. "Let's stay and watch the fight! I've wanted to see Ichigo fight for a long time!" Hasuka cheered.

Tsumiko…stayed silent as usual, only giving thumbs up.

Back to Ichigo…

The battle-loving captain had the biggest grin as he circled Ichigo. "I hope you're ready…" Kenpachi said, dragging his sword along the ground. "I'm going to enjoy this…"

"I'm never ready for you…" Ichigo muttered under his breath.

Yachiru popped out onto Kenpachi's shoulder. "Good luck, Ichi! Have a good fight with Kenny!" Hopping off his shoulder, the small girl ran over to Orihime and waited by her side.

Sighing, Ichigo gripped Zangetsu and took a stance. Sure, he'd trained hard the past days leading up to this fight, but who was ever ready to fight such a brute?

Kenpachi stopped circling and faced Ichigo, standing idly with his sword in hand. The two paused for the longest of seconds before they clashed, their blades colliding with one another.

Hours later…

Panting and groaning in pain, Ichigo lay on his back. His clothes were torn and bloodied from numerous lacerations that littered his body. Orihime was by his side healing him while Unohana attended to the equally injured Kenpachi, bandaging the unconscious captain.

Kisuke walked over to Ichigo and whistled. "My goodness, Ichigo. You've certainly come a long way since I first trained you. I was right to bet that Kenpachi would lose consciousness before you did. Speaking of which…" he turned around to smirked at his werecat friend. "Pay up."

"Grrr…" Yoruichi grumbled as she handed Kisuke the money. "Ichigo, I can't believe you! You made me lose to Kisuke of all people!"

"Shut up…" Ichigo grumpily told her. "And Kisuke, as soon as I can walk, you're next." Kisuke merely smiled in response and walked away

The captains watched from a distance. "A shame Master Genryusai wasn't here to witness the battle," lamented Ukitake to Kyoraku. "He'd be impressed by how strong Ihcigo has become."

Kyoraku shrugged. "I don't know. I'm feeling really small after seeing how stronger he's become. If he'd been that strong during the fight with Aizen, the fight would have ended a lot sooner."

"I disagree," Byakuya interrupted. "Ichigo is strong but is still a boy who loses control of his emotion. He should start training on different areas of combat rather than relying on brute force." On this, Soi-Fon and Toshiro both agreed.

Noticing Mayuri stroking his chin, Kyoraku tipped his hat. "Penny for your thoughts, Captain Kurotsuchi?"

The scientist pointed to the stands, right at Mera and the others. "Who are they? Those are not Squad members."

The captains looked up and noticed the five too. Most of the captains didn't recognize them, not recognizing them with any of their squads. Kyoraku and Ukitake knew who the five were, shocked that Nimaiya's assistants were here. Unohana also recognized them but focused her attention on treating Kenpachi.

Hanataro joined in healing Ichigo's body. He'd stepped in to take over so Orihime wouldn't use too much of her energy. "You feeling okay, Ichigo?"

"I feel like a bus hit me…"

Rukia scoffed. "What did you expect? You did agree to fight him after all."

"Yeah, because he wouldn't stop hounding me if I hadn't agreed."

"You're just full of crappy excuses," Rukia huffed.

"Not as bad as your crappy drawings."

That set Rukia off, stomping Ichigo's ribs and making him yell in pain. Ichigo sat up and the two friends started to go at it again, arguing like usual while Orihime and Hanataro tried to calm them down. Renji would have stepped in to stop them but didn't feel like getting another beatdown. The argument ended when Yachiru suddenly appeared and hugged Ichigo's neck.

"Teehee! Thanks, Ichi! Kenny had real fun fighting you!"

"It was my pleasure…" Ichigo rolled his eyes and hugged her back.

Giggling, Yachiru reach into the folds of her outfit and pulled out Kon. "Thanks for the present, Ichi!"

Ichigo had to admit, even he felt a little bad for Kon. The lion plush Mod Soul was full of pins, his face drawn all over and to top it all off, he was wearing a dress. When he saw Ichigo, tears started pouring down his face. "Ichigo! Please take me home!" Upon seeing Rukia and Orihime, he pleaded even harder. "Ladies please! Save this poor innocent Mod Soul!" Sadly, Ichigo and Rukia ignored him while Orihime looked only mildly concerned. Their lack of concerned made Kon start comically.

"Oh!"

Kon found himself staring at Nonomi. The little girl's eyes were full of wonder as he stared at the plush lion. "Can I have that? He looks like fun!" she asked Yachiru.

Yachiru thought about it for a moment, reluctant to give up her favorite toy. "Do you have any candy?"

Nonomi cheerfully pulled out a big bag of candy and sweets she'd purchased earlier. "Here you go!"

The pinkette lit up and gave Kon over to Nonomi, the other girl handing over the candy.

"Wait! I'm not something to trade like a baseball card!" Kon protested but when he saw Tokie and Hasuka approaching them he changed his toon right away. "Never mind. Take me away now…"

Mera scratched the back of her head, annoyed at their lack of progress. "Fine. Let's go home." The other four agreed and walked away, Nonomi with her prize in tow. Hasuka happily blew Ichigo a kiss, making him blush in front of Orihime. Nonomi waved back at Ichigo while Tokie gave a small wave at Hanataro, her cheeks red. Mera gave Ichigo a wary glance before she turned away…and the vice disappeared in a puff of smoke, Kon disappearing with them.

"Did…did they just disappear into smoke?" Orihime wondered out loud, the others just as confused.

Ichigo looked over at Hanataro, concerned that kon might accidentally mention Zahna. Zahna, however, whispered into his ear through a wisp of smoke. "Don't worry. I'm confident that even Kon would recognize how much trouble you'd be in if he started talking."

Finishing tending to Kenpachi's injuries, Unohana clapped her hands together to get Ichigo's attention and walked over to him. "Congratulations on your victory, Ichigo. Now that the fight is over, do you wish to go back to Karakura Town?"

"Yes. Yes. A million times yes," Ichigo said immediately, eager to put the past few days behind him.

"I understand," the captain nodded. "But you should celebrate your win before you go back. It's not every day someone fights Captain Zaraki and lives to tell the tale."

"I'll say," chimed in Yoruichi. "It's party time! Let's celebrate at Kukaku Shiba's tomorrow."

Ichigo wanted to protest, wanting to just go home. But everyone started talking about the upcoming party and promptly ingorned the teen.

"What about you, Orihime?" Rukia asked.

The orangette looked over at Ichigo, her thoughts obvious to her friend. "I'll stay here and go back with Ichigo."

Hanataro was talking with Ganju. "Hey, Ganju? Is it going to be okay to have a party at your sister's?"

Ganju grinned. "Don't worry. Leave everything to me!"

While his friends continued to ignore him and plan for the party, Ichigo merely facepalmed and laid back down. He just could not catch a break…

To be continued

Omake
Kuchiki Manor Fun

Last night while Hanataro was at the hot springs…

In Byakuya's private chambers inside the Kuchiki manor, Byakuya and Yoruichi kissed with hot passion while the werecat rode Byakuya's cock as he buried it in her lovely pussy. "You're just as lewd as I remember," teased Byakuya, fondling her breasts.

Smiling at Byakuya, Yoruichi rolled her hips. "Well, I certainly can't call you Little Byakuya anymore. You're definitely a man."

Byakuya gave Yoruichi a rare smirk before his mentor gasped in shock when something touched her backdoor. Behind her was Soi-Fon, naked a wearing a strap-on dildo. The small captain's eyes were full of desire as she stared at her idol's taboo hole. Soi-Fon was sorely tempted to pinch herself yet she knew this was no dream.

Smiling out of joy and perversion, Soi-Fon shoved her toy into Yoruichi's asshole, making her idol squeal loudly from the pleasure of being double-teamed by both her pupils. It didn't take long before the two captains made the werecat cum.

Laying Yoruichi down on the futon, a fucked silly smile on her face, Byakuya shared a kiss with Soi-Fon. Removing her strap-on, she laid down and pulled Byakuya on top of her. Spreading her legs, Byakuya plunged his cock into Soi-Fon, making her wail as her lover fucked her hard.

All the while Byakuya had a smirk on his face.

Who knew fucking Yoruichi and Soi-Fon gave him so much relief after work?

The End
