Title: Moonlight Densetsu (Moonlight Legend) Ichigo's Pov
Before I even had a chance to tell her the twins were just baiting her, Hisana already said her release command. Her zanpakuto transformed into a white/black Wakizashi (a japanese blade, half the size of a katana) that has a gold guard and a short black ribbon hanging at the end of the pommel. She flash stepped towards the twin sister, spinning her wakizashi in a rapid counter clockwise movement. Black smoke erupted from the guard that crept up to the blade, and then little sparks of flame appeared in the black mist.
"Saisho no saikuru, Kohaku! (First cycle, Ember) " Hisana cried, doing another swift swing into the air that released a shower of fireballs. Ignoring me, Kentaro flash stepped and stood in front of his sister. He unsheathed his zanpakuto and whispered something I couldn't quite hear. Then all of a sudden, his zanpakuto turned into a Su Yari or "long spear" with a dark green cloth wrapped near the tip, matching tassels hanging off the fabric. The tassel illuminated a dark green then he sliced the air. The fireballs ricocheted from whatever attack that was, and as they soared through the night sky like shooting stars, they grew about about ten times larger.
"HISANA!" I cried as I flash stepped towards her. Despite her protests of leaving to ensure my safety, I grabbed her and pressed her up against my chest as I held up zangetsu, using the blade as shield us. I shut my eyes preparing for impact.
I will protect her. I shut my eyes to prepare for impact. I will protect my family and friends.
I didn't know if zangetsu could shield us, given my current state. But like a prayer, I felt a kiss of ice and snow upon my cheek.
"Mai, some no shirayuki! (Dance, Sleeved White Snow)" A voice yelled behind me following, " Tsugi no Mai, Hakuren! (Second dance, White Ripple)" An avalanche of cold air rushed towards the fireballs, encasing them into nothing but sheer ice.
I gasped at the scene, then turned my head around. "Rukia," I breathed, as she waved her zanpakuto in the air, and they crumbled into white dust. "Rukia," I said again, but quickly noticed she wasn't talking to me. I turned my head to see her gaze was not on me, but on Hisana who was staring back at her tears in her eyes.
Hisana parted her mouth, but was instantly caught off by the voice of the twins.
"Kuchiki Rukia," said Kentaro as he placed his spear over his shoulder. "Yet another honor to meet another legend in person. History called you the, "White Moon". I now remember why."
Rukia growled. "I've never seen you two before. Just who are you? State your squadron!" She pointed her zanpakuto at them.
Kohana blue eyes widen in awe the sight of Rukia's sword. "The stories are true!" She fawned. "You do have the most beautiful zanpakuto in all soul society. I must have it! It will make a lovely letter opener." A wide smile formed on the sister's face as she pulled back her arm. "Asobu, ningyō!" (now play, doll!)
Kohana was there one moment, then in front of Rukia.
"Rukia!" I yelled as Hisana said as she slipped out of my arms, "Oh no you don't!"
"Hisana!" I tried to grab her, but she already sprung into action. She shunpo-ed right in front of Rukia, taking the blow. The clash of steel, echoed and vibrated. Just like her brother, kohana's zanpakuto transformed into its shikai. It was a short butterfly sword with purple tassels hanging from the guard.
"You think you and the troll have the power to stop the emperor?" Kohana growled, taking a step forward, causing Hisana to slowly slide backwards.
"Yes." Hisana countered, pushing back. "I believe in my friends. I believe in my family. That's all I'll ever need to stop the likes of you!" She sliced her sword upwards, causing Kohana to jump up to dodge and land next to her brother.
Hisana summoned another fireball attack at them, but this time kohana dealt with it. Her tassel illuminated a light purple, and when she swung her blade. The fireballs shrunk ten times smaller. Kohana waved them away as if they were pests.
"How did they-" Rukia said as dumbfounded as I was.
"Ooooh, now I understand." Hisana mused as she smirked. "Your zanpakuto increases the spiritual pressure of an object, giving its giant like appearance. While yours, kohana, decreases an object's spiritual pressure, giving its miniature- doll like appearance."
"Very perceptive," Kentaro said walking to the left.
"But wrong, so very wrong." His sister finished as she flanked the right, and the two vanished.
Hisana muttered a curse,holding her ground. Not running away. I didn't know I should be upset or proud of that.
"Hisana!" I made my way towards her, but Kentaro appeared in front of me. Thrusting the back of his spear into my stomach, he kicked me down, causing me to fly backwards into Rukia. We collided and crashed into the ground below.
"I'm truly sorry, Mr. Kurosaki, but I'm afraid I can't allow you to interfere any longer." He said apologetically to me as the wind blew a shower of leaves from a nearby tree. Kentaro raised his spear and the trunk behind the tree, sprang to life.
A root snagged my ankle as Rukia's entire body was engulfed by root. Her zanpakuto clattered to the ground.
"Rukia!" I increased my spiritual pressure, incinerating the root at my ankle and getsuga Kentaro.
He froze my attack mid air and bounced it back at me like he did with Hisana's attack. It was aimed right at Rukia. I got in front of her, aimed another getsuga hoping to cancel it out. How've it's increase in spiritual pressure was too powerful for my attack to break it. Heading right for us, I through myself in front of Rukia, shielding her with my body.
"Ichigo!" She cried as I held her tightly, zangetsu on my back hoping he could withstand the attack.
"Bakudō number #81, dankū." A white shield appeared behind me that successfully blocked my attack. I turned around and saw Hisana. Her uniform was torn, blood dripping from her arms and face. I also noticed her zanpakuto was missing. She then flash stepped towards Kentaro and punched him in the face.
Kentaro blinked realizing who had punched him. He grinned as he wiped blood off his lip, "From History Maker to the Moonlight Densetsu, you never cease to amaze me, Kurosaki Hisana."
"What can I say? I'm a girl of many talents," Hisana grinned she raised her hand above her head. In a swift motion, she waved her hand down in front of her face a hollow mask appeared.
"No," Kentaro eyes went wide as his mouth open like a cod fish. He took a defensive step back. "That's impossible...Ayahiko-sama said...you-you can't be a-" He breathed in a taunt voice.
"Visored?" Hisana replied, voice muffled like mine was underneath the mask. Her eyes flared silver as she said. "Like I reminded Kohana of what the academy consistently reminds its students, 'one should never underestimate a Captain of the 13th court guard squads'."
Rukia and I couldn't move. Couldn't talk. We were in too much shock to even process our visored daughter battling a shaken Kentaro in full hand-to-hand combat. When she won, it felt like mere minutes passed.
Kentaro was on the kneeling on the ground, panting as he glared at Hisana enraged. "This isn't over!" He growled.
"Good. Tell the emperor to send someone with a bit more challenge. " Hisana replied as she watched Kentaro pick up his sister and vanish into the night.
A cool breeze shook a nearby cherry blossom tree. It's petals gleamed in the moonlight like Hisana's hair. She turned around and took off her mask.
"See dad, I told you I could take care of myself." She said with a warm smile as she took one step towards me and began to collapse to the ground.
"Hisana!" I caught her before she reached the ground. I shook her once, but she remained unconscious.
"Ichigo," Rukia said, walking towards us. "W-who is this girl? and why is she calling you dad? Explain. Now."
"She's your daughter Miss Kuchiki," Urahara said appearing right in front of us, along with Yourichi and the boy we saw from this afternoon. He folded up his fan, revealing a serious frown. "From the future..."
