The Shinigami's Tale
Ch. 2
The New Shinigami
"I don't want to die here. I can't let that man die for me. I have to avenge my family. God, don't let me die," said Genpaku in his mind as his eyes slowly shut.
"Then don't," said a new voice. This one was gruff, yet familiar. Genpaku opened his eyes. He was in the middle of a weird flat plain. There were buildings all around. Straight ahead of him stood a figure. His shoulders were wide and his face severe. He looked back at Genpaku and remained silent for but a moment. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. Genpaku stared at him.
"So you cannot hear my name, but you can see me and you know I am here. That is a step."
"Who are you?"
"I am your soul."
"My what?"
"Your Soul. And right now you need to listen to me."
"Die damn you," the hollow bellowed as it continued to attack the Shinigami. He couldn't take this creature. It was to powerful. He couldn't call for back-up. He was stuck. As these things ran threw his head he was suddenly caught on the side by one of the sickles. He was thrown into the air, but did not remain there, as another sickle came down, more like a hammer than a sickle, and slammed him into the ground. The Hollow bellowed in triumph as it raised a sickle to stab the Shinigami with. Suddenly the sickle, along with the rest of the sickle's along the right side of it's body were sundered. It toppled and rolled, before regaining it's balance. It looked up. Standing at the entry way of the alley stood a new Death God, yet he looked familiar. The Hollows eyes widened at it realization. It turned it's head to look at Genpaku's body. It was there, but it was minus a soul. It turned back to look at the Death God, only to find itself staring at the human it had just been hunting! His eyes was looking over his shoulder and a look of such rage and fury was in those eyes that the hollow involuntarily cringed. His right hand was on the hilt of his zanpakuto.
"I will not die that easily hollow. Yes, I know what you are, what kind of abomination you are. You will go to Hell, and I will send you there. After all you have done, you will pay back a million fold," said Genpaku.
Suddenly he was there, in front of the hollow. His zanpakuto's point was at its neck. His eyes were staring straight at the empty sockets that served as the hollows eyes, and the hollow only saw a demon of pure destruction and hatred. Then Genpaku's face contorted into exactly that, a thing of pure malice and hatred. Unknown to Genpaku but very much know to the hollow and the death god, an amazing amount of spiritual pressure was released at that moment
"Die," was all he said before he shoved his zanpakuto into the hollow's neck. Once in he turned the blade and slashed, ripping the blade out the right side of the hollow's neck. He then brought the blade threw the chest of the hollow in a horizontal slash, then a downward slash severed the other 3 sickles. The hollow let out a great yell of pain. Genpaku disappeared. A second later the blade of his zanpakuto burst out of the hollows chest. The blade was facing upward and a second later the blade had traveled up and threw the mask of the monster. There was a flash of light and the creature was gone.
The other Death God slowly got up. He was staring at Genpaku. Genpaku, meanwhile, walked over to his body and looked at it for a time, before kneeling down and wiping the blood that had gotten on his sword off on his old shirt. He then sheathed it. Turning around he saw the Shinigami staring at him.
"It not polite to stare, you know," Genpaku said.
"How did you receive Death God Powers?" The man asked
"I didn't want to die" was Genpaku's simple reply.
"As head Shinigami of this area I order you to accompany me back to Soul Society to speak with 13 Squad Captains."
"I can't do that. You see, when I talked with my soul, I made it a bargain. If it would help me live, I would destroy 1000 Hollows before I did anything else!"
