Chapter 10: A Brothers fight.
Here we are, final round of Ichigo's training. Sorry it took a while but here it is, now. Enjoy.
Ichigo VS Toshiro.
[No One's POV].
Ichigo looked at his older brother, Toshiro, in shock. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
"T-Toshiro-Nii?" asked Ichigo. Toshiro smiled and waved his hand a little.
"Hey Ototo, how's your training coming along?" Toshiro asked. Ichigo continued to stare.
"It's going great but why are you here?" asked Ichigo. Toshiro lightly smirked.
"I'm your final challenger, for your final test. It's up to me if you can go to the Soul Society to go and save your precious Rukia." Toshiro said. Ichigo's eyes widened.
"What the hell do you mean it's up to you if I can go or not?! And how the hell do you even know about the Soul Society?!" Ichigo demanded. Toshiro laughed.
"Oh Ichigo. My poor Baka Ototo." Toshiro said. Ichigo raised a brow.
"If only you could read Spiritual Pressure. I'm surprised that Rukia never read my Spiritual pressure but then again, she lost her powers." said Toshiro.
"How long have you known about Shinigami, Toshiro?" asked Ichigo. Toshiro frowned.
"I'll tell you but we need to get the lesson down." said Toshiro. Ichigo's eyes narrowed.
"What's the lesson about?" asked Ichigo.
"We fight until I say otherwise." said Toshiro. Ichigo nodded and into a fighting position. Toshiro flash stepped in front of Ichigo and kicked him. Ichigo didn't expect Toshiro to just appear right in front of him and couldn't block the attack. Ichigo went flying into a rock and Toshiro went after him.
Kisuke fanned himself while grinning.
"Well, this is going to be an interesting fight. The eldest brother vs the youngest brother." Kisuke said to himself.
Ichigo got up from his laid down position. His brown chocolate eyes looked up and saw Toshiro coming at him with his fist draw back for a punch.
"You better get ready, Ichigo~" Toshiro said cheerfully. Ichigo eyes widened and jumped back, then started to run away. Toshiro punched the ground and broke a hole in the ground. Toshiro then flash stepped after Ichigo.
"How the hell can you teleport?!" Ichigo demanded running away. Toshiro ran after him. He grinned.
"Fuck you that's how." Toshiro said raising his hand out to Ichigo.
"Hado #33: Sokatsui!" Toshiro said. Blue lightning came out of his hand and was aimed at Ichigo. Ichigo screamed and jumped out of the way. Sokatsui went straight passed Ichigo and went into a mountain and destroyed half of it. Ichigo stared at it.
"Amazing, isn't it?" Toshiro's voice could be heard from behind Ichigo. Ichigo turned around to only get punched in the gut then round kicked in the face. Ichigo went flying into the half-destroyed mountain. His hollow mask was destroyed in the process.
"Ichigo, if you can't deal with me kicking you around like this without using hardly any of my powers, how can you defeat those in the Soul Society. The captains, the lieutenants, seated officers, unseated officers and the gate keepers. If you can't deal with me kicking you around like a football, you can't deal with those who have had the powers of Shinigami for over 20 years to over 2000 years." Toshiro said, walking over to Ichigo.
'I just realise, he hasn't even got a weapon and he's able to push me around like this. He can use Kido like Rukia but his hand-to-hand combat is nothing I've ever faced. How am I supposed to defeat my older brother, hell how am I supposed to defeat those in the Soul Society?' Ichigo thought getting up before getting kicked into a corner of the room.
"Ugh!" Ichigo groaned in pain. He painfully got up. His forehead was bleeding and the blood was dripping down his face and onto the ground. His back, shoulders and gut hurts.
Ichigo's eyes then widened when he saw his brother up on a mountain before they widened even more. The dragon tattoo on Toshiro's arm started to move and come off his arm, leaving a plain non-tattooed arm. The dragon tattoo changed from a tattoo to a blade, a Zanpakuto. Toshiro raised his Zanpakuto in the direction where Ichigo is.
"Listen Ichigo, you need to contact your Zanpakuto, if not then you'll die right here by my blade." said Toshiro. Ichigo's face turned to terror.
"Y-You're kidding." Ichigo stuttered. Toshiro frowned and glared at Ichigo, making him freeze.
'I heard that his glare can freeze anyone on the spot or that his glare can make it seem like he's looking into your soul. When I heard about it, I thought they were joking but they weren't. His glare. It's frightening. I feel like I can't breathe but can breathe at the same time.' Ichigo thought.
"I'm not. If you don't even give it your best shot and you go to the Soul Society, you'll die. However, there's a different between me and the Shinigami. They'll kill you with no mercy, I'm giving you a chance to get stronger but I will kill you if you're not taking this seriously. Now then..." Toshiro said. Ichigo gulped and grabbed his broken Zanpakuto tightly.
"Reign over the Frosted Heavens: Hyorinmaru." Toshiro muttered. A circle of ice appeared at the tip of the blade and an ice Chinese dragon appeared and headed straight for Ichigo. As Hyorinmaru got near Ichigo, everything seemed to have freeze. Time had stopped. Ichigo blinked confusingly.
"Ichigo, why haven't you called out to me? Why haven't you used me?" a dark shadow man appeared.
"What do you mean?! I can't use a broken blade against a dragon made of ice!" Ichigo said to the man. The man frowned.
"You should hear my voice, but your fear is stopping you from hearing it." said the old man.
"There's only one enemy and there's one of you. So, what is there to be afraid of? Abandon your fear." said the old man. Ichigo raised the broken blade to the dragon.
"Now Ichigo, advance and never stop." Time had carried on and the dragon got closer.
"If you retreat, you age."
"Be afraid, you'll die."
"Now shout out my name!"
"Zangetsu!" Ichigo shouted. Ichigo's broken blade glowed and he swung his blade to the dragon, destroying it and aimed at Toshiro. Smoke covered them both.
The smoke disappeared and Ichigo was holding out his new Zanpakuto. The Zanpakuto had no hilt, only bandaged as it's hilt. Ichigo looked at his Zanpakuto.
"Well then, would you look at that. You got your Zanpakuto, I'm impressed." Toshiro said. Ichigo looked up when he heard some pain in his brother's voice and his eyes widened.
Toshiro stood there, gripping his right shoulder blade in pain. There was a massive cut that went to his shoulder to his abdomen. His sleeveless hoodie was ripped but the good thing was that Toshiro's body didn't really ripped in two.
Toshiro spat out some blood and fell to his knees.
"Lesson 3... completed..." Toshiro said before collapsing to the ground, unconscious.
"TOSHIRO!"
