Chapter 3: Yamikaze Unleashed!
"Another hollow breaking into the Soul Society?" Hana asked, "What's with the spirit barrier?"
Meanwhile Rei and her three teammates dashed into the east quadrant and spotted two hulking figures with their claws and mouths coated in blood.
"Dammit," Saito murmured, "They still look hungry,"
"Hopefully it'll focus its attacks on us due to our high spirit level," Koji murmured.
"Alright, split formation and encircle both of them," Rei ordered, "We'll all unleash our 1st wind kido onto them, aim for the face,"
The four quickly split and boxed the two hollows.
"Now!' Rei cried.
The four worked in perfect harmony resulted from years of working together.\
"Scatter! Hurl into the night with the power of wind! Zephyr strike!" The four cried.
A wave a razor sharp wind shot forth and cut into the hollows.
"Perfect!" Rei cried.
Suddenly a tentacle shot out and wrapped around Saito and Koji and lifted them into the air.
"Hehe," One murmured, "You think we're that stupid?"
Now with the chance for a closer look she actually studied their appearances.
One was a mass of withering white tentacles and a ghoulish skull face peering out of the withering mass and had two stubby appendages that could pass for legs. The second was gaunt resembling and grotesque vulture with an elongated face that was covered in the twisted skull mask.
The tentacle hollow held the two struggling shinigamis in the air.
"They look delicious," The vulture murmured.
Cho flipped open his cell phone and a fax began spitting out.
"The pile of hair over there's named Tanglewhip and that vulture thing's known as Scavenger," Cho reported, "Both are B-level hollows,"
"That's nice, but what about us!" Koji cried.
"Shut up," Saito snapped, he drew his zanpak-to and sliced the tentacles away.
Koji followed his lead and cut away the withering bindings.
"Cho and I'll take on Scavenger, you two handle Tanglewhip!" She ordered.
Koji nodded and the two shinigami held their soul slayers out and took two deep breaths.
"Here we go!" Koji cried raising his zanpak-to.
The two rushed forward at the massive hollow.
"Brats!" Tanglewhip snarled, "I'll flay your skin from your body!"
He lashed out with razor sharp tentacles at the two incoming officers.
Saito side stepped one then thrust his blade into the hollows face but to his surprise the face retracted into the mass.
Koji sliced the tentacles in half then buried his sword into the mass of tentacles trying to find the face beneath the wriggling mass.
Meanwhile Cho and Rei drew their zanpak-tos.
Cho came in quickly slicing overhead.
"Little rats got teeth?" Scavenger sneered, "Doesn't matter, a meals a meal!"
He sidestepped the cut but Cho reversed his stroke and the blade flew back slicing the bird-like hollow's shoulder.
"What?" The hollow cried.
Suddenly Rei appeared in front of the hollow.
"Time to cleanse you, you piece of..."
She was interrupted as the hollow whirled around and drove its claw into her chest
"If I were you, I'd give me more credit," He hissed.
Suddenly the talons extended ripping through her uniform and emerging from her shoulder.
Too much in pain and shock for hers she merely collapsed as blood pooled around her.
"Rei!" Cho cried.
Concerned over his friend's condition he failed to notice the hollow creep up behind him.
"Too late for you," Scavenger sneered as he drove his beak into Cho's shoulder.
Cho collapsed desperately trying to stem the blood flow from his shoulder.
Koji and Saito came forward at Tanglewhisp raising both their soul-slayers.
"Take this!" Saito cried driving his blade into the hollow's tentacles.
Suddenly the tentacles shot out and wrapped the blade and ripped it from his grasp.
"What the..." Saito began but another tentacle wrapped around him and flung him into Koji.
The two collided in a heap.
"Weaklings," Tanglewhip sneered.
"I don't get it?" Saito muttered as he struggled up, "These guys are only a B-class hollow, why're they so strong?"
Tanglewhip's tentacles raised as their dagger-like tips gleamed menacingly.
"This is gonna be quick and painless," Tanglewhip sneered, "Well, maybe it'll be quick,"
He lashed out aiming for the two fallen shinigami while Scavenger lunged out with its beak snarling.
"What!" Scavenger squawked as a barrier flew up repelling his beak.
A blade shot out and sliced Tanglewhip's tentacles off.
"Don't you know," A voice quipped, "Shinigami travel in packs?"
"How cool Hana!" A voice chirped from behind.
Miho and Hana stood back to back. Hana wore a confident smirk while Miho merely smiled cheerfully.
"Damn!" Scavenger sneered, "More brats!"
"Let's kill them!" Tanglewhip shrieked as a torrent of tentacles flew out.
The two avoided the attacks but despite their flashy entrance, they were no match for the hollows.
Hana began to draw her sword but Tanglewhip buried her in a torrent of tentacles binding her to the wall.
"Hana!" Miho cried, "Burn away! Unleash..."
Before Miho could finish Scavenger lunged forward and bit into her arm.
"So pretty," Scavenger sneered, "Such delicate skin, makes me want to rip it off!"
Miho cried out but the hollow dug its teeth deeper in.
By now she had collapsed to her knees as she bit her lip to keep out from crying in pain. She reached for her soul-slayer but Scavenger shot out his talon pinning her arm to her side.
"You look so pretty," Scavenger sneered, "I wonder how you taste,"
A scream pierced the sky.
Shinn's eyes flared open.
"They need me," Shinn whispered, "Got to help them..."
He managed to struggle up.
Unfortunately the healing Miho did was merely meant to help seal the wounds. Almost immediately they began to reopen.
"Dammit!" Shinn gasped as he collapsed onto the wall.
"You wish to save your friends?" A voice smirked.
"Who are you?" Shinn wheezed.
"Look at your soul-slayer," The voice replied.
Shinn noticed a black aura surrounding the blade.
"You're my soul-slayer?" Shinn asked.
"Yamikaze" The voice replied.
It all came flooding back into him. He recalled the sword's form and attacks, the name, and the voice.
"Stand and pick me up! The voice snapped impatiently.
Shinn gingerly hefted the sword.
Suddenly a current of power coated him.
"Let me enter your body, let me reveal the true power of darkness!"
Suddenly Shinn stiffened up and felt the power course through his body.
"Let me heal your wounds so that I can reveal you your full power!"
Shinn's reopened wounds sealed themselves but he felt different. His eyes suddenly felt as if they were on fire.
"I will reveal to you the true power of Yamikaze!"
A scream pierced the night's sky.
Miho clutched her arm as she crawled away from the twisted bird of prey.
"That's it!" Scavenger sneered, "Run so that I can chew you bit by bit and savor the taste!"
Hana struggled to cut away the tentacles that had pinned her but the tentacles were rock slid. Her sword merely ricocheted every attempt.
"Mmmm, I wonder if you will taste any different that your friends?" Tanglewhip sneered.
"No way am I becoming food for some trash like you!" Hana screamed.
"Hana!" Miho managed to gasp.
She made a series of half-hearted kido symbols.
"Binding Spell 4, Sai...1st!" She whispered.
A ring of energy spun around the hollow binding him immediately.
In its shock it dropped the struggling Hana.
"Miho!" Hana cried as her friend fainted from exhaustion. The kido despite its lack of skill had drained what little remained of her strength.
Scavenger regarded the prone form then leered at Hana.
"I think we should eat the live prey then settle down for a fest with the rest!" Tanglewhip snarled.
Hana dashed forward not even bothering to think rationally.
"Take this!" She cried plunging her blade into Scavenger's leg.
"Ow!" Scavenger yelped as he hopped back, "That stung!"
She continued and sliced horizontally and scratched Scavenger across the chest.
"Cripes!" Scavenger cried, "Help me with this brat, I don't wanna crush her!"
A mass of tentacles pressed Hana down and knocked away her sword.
"Dinnertime!" Tanglewhip squealed.
Scavenger's beak widened and dove for her neck.
"Dammit!" Hana thought as she closed her eyes.
A blast of energy met Scavenger in the head.
"Don't...touch...her," Miho gasped.
As she held her hand up holding a tiny ball of light.
"Why are you shinigami so persistent!" Scavenger shrieked.
He dove for Miho's kneeling form intending to bite her in half.
Miho tried to fire her kido but she couldn't find the strength.
"Look out!" Hana screamed.
A geyser of blood erupted into the sky.
"Yaaah!" Scavenger screamed.
His left talon was hanging by a thread and blood poured from the wound.
"Now that wasn't nice," A voice sneered from the shadows.
Scavenger hissed as it clutched its dangling talon.
Miho regarded the one who emerged from the shadows.
"Shinn!" She thought in relief.
But something was different; he seemed darker and powerful.
Her eyes focused and located his reiraku ribbons. They were jet black and fluttered ominously.
Shinn finally turned and gave a twisted smile at Miho.
Miho's eyes widened and her face paled.
Gone were Shinn's eyes. They had transformed into narrow sinister eyes that hinted of secrets not meant to be known. Black splotches had formed around his fast and the arm that gripped the Yamikaze.
"Now how shall I kill you?" Shinn smirked, "Shall I slice you in half or shall I merely dismember your face?"
"Shinn?" Miho gasped weakly, "What are you doing?"
Shinn merely grinned then raised his sword.
Black energy danced around the blade and all could sense the immense spirit energy emanating from the weapon.
"Hmmm, now I think I'd better finish you off before I kill the other one," Shinn sneered as he walked towards Scavenger, "I hate leaving such menial tasks half-finished."
"I'll kill you!" Scavenger screeched.
"You first," Shinn sneered.
His blade swung down unleashing a wave of black energy.
Scavenger desperately tried to dodge the attack but it sliced him completely in half.
"Too easy," Shinn sneered as he walked up to Scavenger's struggling form.
Tanglewhip lashed out with two tentacles but in irritation at being interrupted he unleashed another wave of black wind that obliterated the other hollow.
"Annoying shit," Shinn smirked, "Could've lived longer had hit stayed out of my way!"
"I give up!" The hollow squawked, "Just konso me quickly!"
"Where's the fun in that?" Shinn asked ramming his blade into Scavenger's shoulder pinning him down.
"Eyaaaaaaahh!" The hollow screamed, "What are you doing!"
"Taking my time," Shinn sneered as he drove his fist into the open wound.
"Stop!" The hollow screamed, "Aaaaaaaahhhh!"
Shinn grinned and drove his hand deeper into the wound.
"Stop!" The hollow screamed.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"STOP IT!"
The last cry came from Miho. She managed to throw her soul-slayer so that it cut into the hollow's head.
The hollow slumped inward and faded away.
Shinn turned around and eyed her with a dark glare.
"Don't ever get in my way again!" Shinn hissed as he grabbed Miho by the collar.
He hurled her away then began to walk off.
She winced in pain then recalled Shinn's cheerful face. His supporting attitude and the way he went through life hoping for the best.
Hot tears rolled down her face as she recalled this Shinn's sneering face and twisted smile.
She struggled up and stumbled towards him.
"Please, Shinn," She whispered.
She collapsed onto his shoulder.
"Go back to how you used to be!" She pleaded.
Shinn turned his head and his eyes widened in fury.
Suddenly the sword's fire dimmed and began withdrawing slowly.
"Dammit!" Shinn hissed clutching his face, "Stop it now! I'm in control here you bastard!"
His eyes opened again revealing his old eyes, the ones he used to always cheer others on.
"No this is wrong!" He cried, "Stop this now, you've served your purpose and leave!"
"I...will...not...be...denied!" The voice screamed.
"Get out!" Shinn screamed.
He flung his soul-slayer to the ground.
The sword reverted to its original form and lay inert.
Shinn fell onto his knees breathing heavily.
The black sears retracted into his arm, then his fist, and then finally faded away altogether.
"That...was...fun," He managed.
He hurried towards Miho and leaned her against him chest. He quickly toe two strips from his uniform, one to bandage the wound and the other to bind the bandage in place.
"Hey!" Miho cried, "That's coming out of your paycheck!"
"Be quiet," Shinn sighed.
The two set to healing Rei and Cho with what little healing techniques they had. Rei and Cho were in bad shape but they were able to seal their wounds loosely and regulate their breathing.
Hana was fine but unconscious and aside for some minor bruises Saito and Koji were also fine.
"Looks like they'll be alright," Shinn sighed.
Miho regarded her cheerful comrade's face, and then studied the inert sword lying on the ground.
"What was that?" Miho asked.
"I'm not sure," Shinn replied, "I think it was my shikai though,"
"Do you think..." She began and touched his shoulder gently.
She suddenly felt something warm and noticed blood stained on her hands.
"Shinn..." She began.
"Looks like my wounds are opened again," Shinn remarked as he winced, "How silly of me,"
"Idiot!" She cried smacking him across the head.
She immediately forced him down onto his knees and undid his top which made his eyes widen and blush considerably.
"Idiot," She muttered again as she set to sealing the wound on his shoulder.
Shinn smiled softly then winced as she jabbed her fingers into his cut.
