Kon'nichiwa [Translation of Hello]
Ichigo woke up to see that Yasaka is currently hugging him right now. Ichigo could see Kunou managed to squish herself between himself and Yasaka. Ichigo gently shook Yasaka.
"No. Five more minutes." Yasaka mumbled as she tightens her grip on Ichigo. This caused Kunou to further get squished; forcing her to wake up. Seeing her current situation, she began to poke Yasaka's stomach.
"Kaa-san, you're squishing me." Yasaka unconsciously began to swat Kunou, like an annoying fly. Kunou seeing this called for Ichigo.
"Papa. Kaa-san is ticklish." Ichigo began to grin as he began to tickle her. Yasaka immediately woke up as she tries to escape.
"K-Ku-nou you t-rait-or!" Yasaka yelled as she began to laugh uncontrollably. Yasaka managed to grab Ichigo's hands only for Kunou to take over. "K-Ku-nou!" Yasaka screamed as she let go of Ichigo's hands. Seeing his hands are free, Ichigo resumed ticking Yasaka. Soon enough, Ichigo and Kunou stopped ticking Yasaka. She pouted and glared at Ichigo. Ichigo got out of bed.
"Look. I am sorry that I did that, but I needed to get out of bed." Yasaka understood Ichigo's reasoning however, Kunou had enough with.
"Papa."
"Yes, Kunou?"
"If you like Kaa-san so much, why do you keep on seeing other girls?"
"Because I am a monster." Ichigo stopped Yasaka from interrupting him. "Your Papa is a horrible monster."
"Why?"
"Because I am very selfish. I know that I have many beautiful women who love me, but I cannot simply choose one. I know that with some it would result in violence and a competition for my love which is something that I can't handle. So, I choose the lesser evil and try to love all of them." Yasaka jumped at Ichigo and pushed him back on the bed and began to make out with him. It took ten minutes before Ichigo managed to get to his car and drive back home.
Scene Change: Kuoh Town: Kurosaki House
Ichigo returned home to see Yuzu and Masaki is cooking breakfast for everyone. Ichigo could see Eu and Ophis walking down.
"Come on Eu and Ophis lets go."
"What about food?" Ophis asked as she tried to grab Nyx.
"I'll take care of Nyx," Masaki said as she gently picked up Nyx.
"Don't worry about it. We're getting breakfast outside." Ichigo answered. Everyone soon entered the car and Ichigo drove off.
Scene Change: Sumire Town
It took them minutes, but they arrived at Sumire Town. Ichigo parked the car in front of a restaurant called Restaurant Yukihira. Ichigo, Eu, and Ophis walked inside. The restaurant is a nice and cozy feeling. There are a few customers already inside enjoying their meal. They could see a little boy with yellow eyes and a vertical scar on his left eyebrow. He has spiky dark-red hair with short bangs. He is wearing a black shirt with the restaurant's logo on the back and left chest area of his shirt. He is wearing a white apron over his waist and a white headband tied around his forehead.
"Welcome to Yukihira. My name is Soma. Table for…"
"Three," Ichigo answered. Soma took them to a nearby table of four. Before Soma could pass out the menu, Ichigo was already ready to order. "I would like the Food Challenge," Ichigo said.
"Very well," Soma said as he took out a pad and wrote it down. "Anything to drink?"
"Just tea for now," Ichigo said. Soma nodded as he picked up the menu and head to the kitchen.
"Ichigo, what did you order?" Eu asked.
"This restaurant has a challenge against all the customers. It's called their 50 Dish Food Challenge. The goal is to eat all the fifty dishes that they serve."
"What happens if you don't finish it?"
"Then we pay for whatever that was served to our table." A few minutes later, another employee walked over and served three dishes to everyone. He has long, brown hair which is swept back, save for a single group of bangs that hangs over his face down to his chin. His body is well toned and generally. He is wearing a navy-blue shirt with the Yukihira logo in white.
"Hope you enjoy the first three dishes." He said as he went back to the kitchen. Everyone began to eat the dishes. They all had to resist the urge to let out a moan of deliciousness. This continued for a while as more and more dishes were brought out. Eu managed to finish five dishes themselves before being too full to continue. Ichigo managed to eat ten dishes himself before also calling it quits. Ophis ate 20 dishes on her own and continued to work on dish 21. Slowly all the customers gathered around their table. Eu was leaning on Ichigo's shoulder as she fell into a food coma. Ichigo managed to resist the food coma. Soon enough Ophis finished dish 21. A few seconds later dish 22 was served by another employee. She has brown eyes and long, waist-length, burnt orange hair. She has her hair tied back with a band. She is wearing the same navy-blue shirt with the Yukihira logo Ichigo saw earlier. Due to her apron, it also emphasizes her large breasts.
"Ori…Orihime?" Ichigo said.
"Ichigo-kun?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I am training to be a chef." Orihime sat down in front of Ichigo.
"How are you?"
"I'm good."
"Is 'she' still a bother?"
"No. She stayed quiet." Soma walked by to see Ichigo and Orihime talking.
"Nee-san, you two know each other?"
"We used to go to high school together," Orihime said.
"BUUURRRRRRP!" Everyone turned to see Ophis was the one who let out that loud burp; started Eu awake. Ophis began to blush. Everyone looked and realized that their table finished all 50 dishes. The other employee ran out of the kitchen.
"They finished the challenge!" One of the customers said.
"Mother of God." Another customer said as he took off his glasses.
"CONGRATULATIONS!" All the Yukihara employees cheered. Everyone soon took a few photos as they commemorate this moment. Ichigo suddenly heard his phone ringing. Ichigo looked and noticed it was an unknown number. Ichigo walked outside Yukihara and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Ichigo-sensei?"
"Rias? How did you get my number?"
"Nii-sama gave it to me. Anyways, I need your help!"
"What happened?"
"Do you remember Agares Seekvaira?"
"I do."
"According to some rumors I heard, Seekvaira got into an argument with her father, Lord Agares."
"What was the argument about?"
"Seekvaira is under a marriage contract between her house and House Bael. She was supposed to spend time with Bael Sairaorg, the current Heir of the Bael Clan, but she isn't. Her father ordered her to explain. She said that she is in a relationship. Her father ordered her to break up and follow the contract. She said no and disappeared. Rumors are that her father is considering disowning her from the clan."
"I see… why are you calling me about this?"
"I thought you were her boyfriend since you asked me for her number." Ichigo laughed at Rias's guess. "HEY! Stop laughing at me!" She yelled. "All of you Kurosaki's bully me." She mumbled.
"What was that? Something about Kurosaki bullying you?"
"Nothing! Nothing!"
Anyways, thanks for calling me. I'll look into this." Ichigo said.
"Really?"
"Yes. I know where she'll likely be right now."
"Where?"
"In the arms of her boyfriend." Ichigo hung up on Rias. Ichigo turned to Eu and Ophis walked outside the restaurant. "Sorry girls I need to go take care of something for a friend."
"We're coming too," Eu said. Ichigo sighed. Everyone entered Ichigo's car. Ichigo founded an abandoned alley and stopped the car. Everyone got out as Ichigo sent the car back to his pocket dimension.
"Hold on to my arm," Ichigo instructed. Eu and Ophis followed as instructed. Ichigo pulled out his phone and dialed 5501. A few seconds later, they were teleported away.
Scene Change: Uzushio Command Center
Everyone soon arrived at Uzushio. Eu and Ophis were surprised at the new setting. A few seconds later, Marvelous and Ahim arrived.
"Captain, what are you doing here?" Ahim asked.
"I need to see Don and Varia," Ichigo said.
"Varia has locked herself in her room and Don is beginning to panic," Marvelous said.
"Ahim, can you show them around Uzushio."
"Ok. Captain." Ahim motioned Eu and Ophis to follow her. Marvelous lead Ichigo down a hallway. Ichigo soon arrived to see Don banging on the metal door.
"Varia! Please tell me what's going on!" Don soon turned to see Ichigo and Marvelous. "Captain. What are you doing here?"
"Hello, Don. I'm here to talk with Varia."
"She locked herself in her room and she's not willing to open the door." Marvelous walked away since he didn't want to watch this. Ichigo walked to the metal door and knocked on the door.
"Varia please open the door," Ichigo asked. Ichigo waited a few seconds. "I'm both respecting your privacy by knocking but asserting my authority as Captain of this ship by coming in anyway," Ichigo said as he punched through the metal door, ripped the metal door in half and walking through the large hole. Don walked/hid behind Ichigo. Ichigo looked to see that Varia's eyes were puffy and glared at Ichigo and Don. "Varia can we talk?" Varia sighed as she nodded. Ichigo summoned two chairs for himself and Don to sit. Ichigo retold Varia what Rias told him. Don was surprised since he never heard about this from her. "Varia is what I just said true?"
"It is."
"Very well, let's go talk with your father." Ichigo stood up from his chair.
"WHAT!" Don and Varia shouted.
"I'm not ready to meet her father!" Don shouted.
"Ichigo, I don't think my father will accept you interfering with Clan affairs."
"Let me ask you something."
"Go ahead."
"What was the main reason why you couldn't introduce Don to your father?"
"I couldn't tell him anything about him."
"Because…"
"Because…" Varia's eyes widen when she realized the reason. "The nondisclosure agreement!"
"Exactly," Ichigo said. "Due to the agreement, you can't talk about anything related to the Asura Machina, including Don since he is the engineer for the Asura Machina."
"But you can."
"I can." Varia stood up and rushed to the bathroom.
"Thank you, Captain," Don said.
"No problem Don."
"I'm still worried about all of this."
"Don't worry about it. I will take care of this." Soon Varia came back out. This time her eyes were no longer puffy. With that, all three of them went to the transporter pad. They soon met Ahim, Eu and Ophis.
"Where are you going?" Eu asked.
"Need to help Varia here with a family issue." Eu and Ophis nodded in understanding.
"Will you need the peerage?" Eu asked.
"I don't know. I will inform you if I do." Eu nodded as Ahim resumed her tour. Soon the group of three arrived at the teleporting pad. Once everyone was standing on the teleporter, all three were teleported back to the alleyway. Varia activated a teleportation seal and they all teleported away.
Scene Change: Underworld: Agares Castle
They soon arrived in front of Agares Castle. The castle reminds Ichigo of the Gremory Castle. Varia walked straight into the castle. Ichigo and Don followed right behind her. She ignored the various maids and butlers greeting her. They soon arrived at a closed door. Varia took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Someone said behind the door. Varia pushed open the door and everyone walked inside. Right in front of them is a man with blonde hair and cold emerald green eyes. He was sitting down behind his desk. "What do you want Seekvaira?"
"Father, I have brought my boyfriend as you asked."
"Why is the Jigoku no Kōtei with you?" Lord Agares asked.
"I'm here because Seekvaira is dating one of my associates. It is also because of me that prevented her from explaining her relations with Dogoier Don."
"Dogoier Don?"
"Hello Lord Agares," Don said with a bow. Lord Agares glared at Don. Don resisted Lord Agares's cold glare.
"Anyways, I am here to answer any questions you have regarding Seerkvaira's and Don's relationship."
"How did they meet?"
"Seekvaira witnessed me using my machines to stop Loki and Fenrir during the dinner event a while ago. After using the machines, she approached me and express interest in learning about the machines that I own. After she signed a nondisclosure agreement, which prevents her from revealing any information about the machines, I took her to meet my engineer, Dogoier Don."
"I see." Lord Agares said as he glared at Seekvaira. "So, despite knowing you're in a marriage contract with Heir Bael, you pursued a relationship with this weakling."
"I did. Despite being physically weak, he has outstanding intelligence especially in robotics."
"We could have this man go against Heir Bael in a match. The winner gets the right to marry Seekvaira." Someone said. Everyone turned to see a young, slender woman walk in. She has red eyes, long dark hair and a straight-cut fringe that frames her face. She dons a black formal shirt and short black skirt secured by a belt. Over this, she wears a black coat that has red strings looped at the neck, hips, and bottom. She also wears thigh-high black high heel boots under them she wears long black stockings that reach up to her mid-thighs. Her ears are also pierced wearing red stud earrings.
"Mother," Seekvaira said.
"It's a valid idea since Heir Gremory and the third son of the Phenex had a Rating Game regarding their Marriage Contract." Lady Agares explained.
"However, her peerage isn't strong enough to fight against Heir Bael's peerage." Lord Agares commented.
"What about mine," Ichigo said. Everyone turned to Ichigo.
"Ichigo, you have a peerage?" Varia asked
"I do. Now then, we will have a Rating Game against my peerage and Heir Bael's. We will have this match in one hour."
"But Heir Bael and Heir Gremory will have their Rating Game as well." Ichigo pulled out his phone and dialed Sirzechs number.
"Sirzechs, this is Ichigo."
"Hello, Ichigo. I'm kind of busy here."
"I am aware Rias has a Rating Game against Heir Bael soon. I want you to change it; take her out and replace her with me."
"Why?"
"I need to fight Heir Bael to break another marriage contract."
"What is going on?" Ichigo quickly informs Sirzechs of the situation.
"You're aware a lot of Devils are going to get pissed."
"Do you think I care?"
"Very well." Sirzechs sighed. "Due to how close the match is, both players will not know any information about the other's peerage."
"That is fine," Ichigo said as he hung up and turned to everyone. "I guess we have that match right now." Ichigo ripped open a Garganta and jumped in it.
Scene Change: Floating City Agares: Stadium
Both Team Gremory and Team Bael were sitting down at their respective platform. They were told by Naud Gamigin, the announcer, that there is a delay to this rating game. This confused everyone. Both teams are accounted for. Suddenly the screen lit up again with a nervous Naud Gamigin. "We apologize to everyone. The scheduled Rating Game between Gremory Rias and Bael Sairaorg will be delayed until a further date." Before the audience could get angry Naud Gamigin continued. "The reason for this is a change of opponent. Bael Sairaorg has been challenged regarding his marriage contract for Agares Seekvaria." Everyone was wondering who would challenge Bael Sairaorg. "The reason for the challenge is unknown but the challenger is the Jigoku no Kōtei, Kurosaki Ichigo and his peerage." Everyone turned to see from the west entrance, Ichigo was walking out followed by eight people covered in plain black robes. No one could see who these people are. They walked in the west elevator and soon arrived at the west platform and swapped with Rias and her peerage. Rias and her peerage were soon teleported to the stands, right next to Irina and Ruval.
"Now with that out of the way, allow me to continue our introduction. The arbiter for tonight's game will be Rudiger Rosenkreutz!" Everyone cheered for the man as he did a short bow. "Azazel, the Governor-General of the Fallen Angels, has joined us as a special commentator!" The camera shifted to reveal Azazel who raised his hand and did a short wave. The camera soon changed back to Naud Gamigin. "On top of that, we also have the current champion of the Rating Game, Diehauser Belial!" Everyone cheered as the camera shifted to reveal Diehauser Belial. The camera soon changed back to Naud Gamigin.
"Now about the rules of tonight's game. We shall have a Dice Figure Game, a popular Rating Game variant! Will the two Kings please go up to the special podium?" Ichigo and Sairaorg began to walk up to the special platform as Naud Gamigin explained the rules of the Dice Figure Game. "The kings will each use a normal six-sided dice. Both kings will roll a dice and the resulting total will decide the members of the match! For instance, if the number is eight, each side may send out members that add up to the number. The value of each player depends on the evil piece. Pawns are one point. Knights and Bishops are three points. Rooks are five points. Queens is nine points. Multiple players may be chosen for the match. Back to the example with eight points, it could be two knights may participate, or a rook and knight too. The number of pieces used for family members has been taken into consideration. Since Sairaorg's pawn has seven pawn pieces, he has a value of seven. However, you cannot send out the same piece in a row, so please be careful. And, regarding the Kings… The game will end if the King is defeated. The review board has determined that both Kings will be twelve points. Lastly, about phoenix tears…Thanks to the Phenex family, each team will have one for the Game! Now, let us finally start the game!"
"We will now begin the Rating Game between Bael Sairaorg Bael and Kurosaki Ichigo!" Rudiger announced. Everyone cheered and got excited. "We shall now decide the first match. Kings, please pick up the dice." Ichigo and Sairaorg picked up their dice. "Shoot!" Both Ichigo and Sairaorg dropped their dice.
"Player Ichigo has rolled a 3! Player Sairaorg has rolled a 5! Total of 8! Now, which peerage member will each side choose for the first match!?" Naud announced as a golden dome encased both teams, preventing anyone from seeing what is going inside.
"You have five minutes to plan. Please choose within that time frame." Rudiger said. Ichigo turned back to see two of them already stood up. Ichigo walked over and gave them each a hug.
"Good luck." The two nodded as they walked past the podium and into a large circular plate. A green seal appeared underneath them as they were teleported down to the battlefield.
Scene Change: Pocket Dimension: Plains
The two hooded peerage members appeared on one side. On the other side there stood two other peerage members. On the right, it appears a young man with blond hair and silver eyes wearing a set of light armor. He is armed with a sword. While on the left it appears an enormous guy who is about 3 meters (around nine feet) tall. He has a good build and his arms are thick till his fingers. His face resembles a monster rather than a human with his skin being tan in color. His eyes are pale blue-gray.
"The participants from each team are now entering the battlefield!" Rudiger said.
"On our right side, we have Sairaorg's Rook and Knight: Gandoma Balam and Liban Crocell!" Everyone cheered for them. "On our left side, we have…" Naud said. The two peerage members took that as their cue to reveal themselves. They grabbed their cloaks and threw them off. No one recognized who they were.
"I am Tier Harribel, Ichigo's knight."
"I am Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, Ichigo's rook."
"With this, let this round begin!" Rudiger announced.
Gandoma charged towards the two Arrancars. They sonído away from him. Nel appeared above Liban and fired a couple of Balas at him. He blocked her Balas with his sword. Nel used this distraction to sonído to his right side to strike him on his right side.
"GAH!" Liban said as he activated his Sacred Gear on her.
"UMP!" Nel groaned as she took a knee due to the sudden increase of gravity.
"Good try with that tactic but I doubt you can escape this. My Sacred Gear is called Gravity Jail. It allows me to control the gravity of what I see."
"Interesting ability-" Nel said as she slowly stood back up. "-too bad that it can overcome by a stronger opponent." Nel holds her Zanpakutō up in front of her horizontally.
"Declare…Gamuza." The Zanpakutō glows as a hazy smoke emanates from it.
"What is this? Balance Breaker?" Liban though as the smoke cleared.
Nel takes the form of a brownish-green ibex-like centaur, complete with a black horse's tail. Her Hollow mask's horns become longer and more curved, and extend slightly, framing the sides of her face, particularly the cheeks. Her shoulders are covered by white spaulders that come across her shoulder blade to her neck. She has white elbow guards and white gauntlets. The parts of her arm that aren't covered by armor are covered by a black material, which also covers her hands. There is a white ring at the base of her tail. Gamuza itself transforms into a double-sided lance. Before he could react, Nel charged at him and threw her lance at him.
"Lanzador Verde!" The lance began to spin and build up spiritual energy as it flew into the air.
"GRAVITY JAIL!" Liban yelled as he focused his sacred gear on the lance. The lance stopped flying towards him, but it remains spinning.
"Too bad you can't multitask," Nel said
"What?" Suddenly he felt something crash behind him.
Scene Change: Tier VS Gandoma
Tier sonído away from Gandoma. He looked around trying to find her; only to get hit by a strike behind him.
"GAH!" He turned to see…nothing. "GAH!" he turned to see Tier just stabbed him in the chest. He tried to wrap his arms around her. Tier sonído away from him.
"Stop running!" He yelled, starting to get annoyed by her antics.
"Ola Azul." She said as she fired a yellow energy blade projectile at him. He turned and took the attack head-on.
"Is…that…all you got?" He asked as he tried to catch his breath.
"Oh. I'm just getting started." Tier said as she continued to fire Ola Azul at him. Gandoma summoned boulders to absorb her attack and used them as projectiles. Tier noticed this and dodged his attacks.
"Maybe he is a being tied with Earth. Usually, water beats dirt." Tier thought as she fired another Ola Azul at him. Tier could feel Nel using her Resurrección. Tier decided to do it as well. Tier pointed her Zanpakutō in front of her with the blade pointing down.
"Destroy Tiburón!" Tier yelled. Out of nowhere water appeared and completely enveloped Tier by a heart-shaped surge of water that closes around her to form a cocoon-like cyclone. Soon Harribel cuts herself out of the water cocoon.
"What is this? Balance Breaker?" Gandoma thought.
Tier's mask remnants become a collar, with extensions covering her nipples. She gains spaulders on her shoulders, which bear a resemblance to shark fins, and two ribbon-like protrusions on her back. A thin, spine-like structure forms on her stomach, spanning from her waist to the underside of her breasts. Harribel wears a mini-skirt consisting of bones surrounding a dark undergarment. She wears a pair of knee-length boots and elbow-length gloves. Her weapon takes the form of a broad pata, which resembles an elongated shark tooth, featuring an unusual hilt with a handguard that completely covers her hand. The sword possesses gill markings along either side of the blade. Harribel loses her three braids, causing her hair to become messy, and gains two blue lightning bolt markings on both sides of her face.
"La Gota!" Tier yelled as she fired a pressurized water bullet that appeared similar to a shark tooth at Gandoma. Gandoma summoned his boulder to block it. La Gota easily destroyed the boulder and hit Gandoma in the arm.
"GAH!" Gandoma yelled in pain. Tier fired more La Gota at Gandoma. He summoned more rocks to defend himself.
"I'm getting bored," Tier mumbled as she gathers more reiatsu and summoned more water.
"Cascada!" Tier blasted a large surge of water at Gandoma. Gandoma was too slow to dodge and was forced to take Cascade full-on and he crashed into Rudiger. Tier sonído next to Nel.
"You alright?" Nel asked.
"I should be asking you that," Tier replied.
"Let's finished them off," Nel said. Tier nodded. Tier raised her Zanpakutō. Yellow reiatsu began to form at the tip of her Zanpakutō. Nel opened her mouth as a green reiatsu began to form a green ball.
"CERO!" Tier and Nel shouted as they fired their cero at Gandoma and Rudiger. Rudiger and Gandoma were too tired and took the full attack.
"Sairaorg's Rook Gandoma Balam and Knight: Liban Crocell has been retired," Naud said. Tier and Nel returned to their normal form as they began to glow green as they were transported out of the pocket dimension.
Scene Change: Floating City Agares: Stadium
Tier and Nel appeared at the teleporting pad. They walked back to the pad and Ichigo congratulated them on a good job. "We shall now decide the second match. Kings, please pick up the dice." Ichigo and Sairaorg picked up their dice. "Shoot!" Both Ichigo and Sairaorg dropped their dice. Ichigo's dice rolled
"Player Ichigo has rolled a 4! Player Sairaorg has rolled a 2! Total of 6! Now, which peerage member will each side choose for the second match!?" Naud announced as a golden dome encased both teams, preventing anyone from seeing what is going inside. Ichigo turned back to see two of them already stood up. Ichigo walked over and gave them each a hug.
"Good luck." The two nodded as they walked past the podium and into a large circular plate. A green seal appeared underneath them as they were teleported down to the battlefield.
Scene Change: Pocket Dimension: Castle Ruins
The two hooded peerage members appeared on one side. On the other side there stood two other peerage members. On the right a young woman with long, wavy blonde hair; red eyes and wears a business suit. While on the left it appears appearance armored Knight whilst riding upon a horse with armor as well.
"The participants from each team are now entering the battlefield!" Rudiger said.
"On our right side, we have Sairaorg's Bishop and other Knight: Coriana Andrealphus and Beruka Furcas!" Everyone cheered for them. "On our left side, we have…" Naud said. The two peerage members took that as their cue to reveal themselves. They grabbed their cloaks and threw them off.
"I am Shuzen Kahlua, Ichigo's pawn." Many people were aware of Kahlua. She had a reputation for being the ultimate assassin and a vampire.
"I am Akashiya Moka, Ichigo's pawn."
"With this, let this round begin!" Rudiger announced. Kahlua and Moka both dashed towards the two. Moka kicked Coriana with a sidekick, sending her flying through a castle pillar. Moka walked toward Coriana, only to be attacked by a flock of birds. Coriana stood up and transfigured more of the rubble into larger birds.
"Attack!" She ordered her birds. The larger birds joined the previous flock of birds. They pecked and clawed at Moka. Moka tried to swat the birds away. However, they managed to dodge Moka attacks.
"ENOUGH!" Moka yelled as she activated her Wealth of Power. Her hands transformed into razor-sharp bat wings. Moka shredded all the birds around her. Coriana seeing this ran away from Moka. She tried to regroup with her fellow peerage member. Coriana suddenly stopped. In front of her was Moka; standing there with the birds' blood on her sharp bat wings. Moka swung her blood-covered hand at Coriana; despite being so far away from her. All the blood flew off Moka's hand and landed on Coriana.
"AAAAAAAAH" Coriana screamed from the sudden blood being plastered on her. Moka ran towards the distracted Coriana and roundhouse kicked her into the castle wall.
"KNOW YOUR PLACE!" Moka yelled.
"Sairaorg's Bishop Coriana Andrealphus has been retired," Naud said. Moka looked at the other side of the arena to see what is going on with her sister.
Scene Change Kahlua vs Beruka
Kahlua rushed at Beruka and swung with a punch. Altobrau, Beruka's horse, dodge her attack and then Beruka would try and strike her with his spear. Kahlua would dodge his spear strikes. This continued for a few rounds when Beruka was going for his counterattack, Kahlua responded differently. She grabbed his spear and used it to throw him off his horse.
"What the!?" Beruka yelled from the sudden change. Altobrau, seeing its master on the ground, charged at Kahlua. Kahlua moved her back leg to the right and she wrapped her arms around Altobrau's neck. Kahlua lifted Altobrau and slammed it down to the ground. Beruka was shocked to see his precious horse manhandled by this young woman.
"H-how strong are you?" Beruka asked.
"What?" Kahlua asked, confused about Beruka's reaction.
"Altobrau is my precious destrier (1) weighs over 2,000 pounds [907.1847 kilograms].
"Oh." Kahlua walked over Beruka. "Please admit defeat so you can take care of your horse." Beruka sat there before using his spear to push himself up.
"No. If I were to give up now, I would lose my honor as a knight and bring shame to my King!" Beruka created speed duplicated himself as they charged towards Kahlua. Kahlua sighed. Kahlua dodged the attacks by dancing around the speed clones before grabbing the real one and slamming him to the ground, creating a small crater. Kahlua gently kicked Beruka to see he moved.
"I think he is done," Kahlua said.
"Sairaorg's Knight Beruka Furcas has been retired." Naud declared. Moka met up with Kahlua as they began to glow green and were transported out of the pocket dimension.
Scene Change: Floating City Agares: Stadium
Moka and Kahlua appeared at the teleporting pad. They walked back to the pad. Ichigo has Moka a quick kiss on the lip. Kahlua pouted for not getting a kiss. Ichigo cracked a small smile as he kissed her on the cheek. "We shall now decide the third match. Kings, please pick up the dice." Ichigo and Sairaorg picked up their dice. "Shoot!" Both Ichigo and Sairaorg dropped their dice.\
"Player Ichigo has rolled a 1! Player Sairaorg has rolled a 2! Total of 3! Now, which peerage member will each side choose for the second match!?" Naud announced as a golden dome encased both teams, preventing anyone from seeing what is going inside. Ichigo turned back to see one stood up. Ichigo walked over to her and hugged her.
"Good luck." She walked past the podium and into a large circular plate. A green seal appeared underneath her as she was teleported down to the battlefield.
Scene Change: Pocket Dimension: Island
The hooded peerage member appeared on one side. On the other side there stood a young boy with light green hair and violet eyes, with two identical hair ornaments; one on each side."The participants from each team are now entering the battlefield!" Rudiger said.
"On our right side, we have Sairaorg's other Bishop: Misteeta Sabnock!" Everyone cheered for them. "On our left side, we have…" Naud said. She grabbed the cloak and threw it off.
"I am Yasaka, the Leader of the Yōkai," Yasaka announced. Everyone in the audience was shocked at seeing the Leader of the Yōkai standing there. Rudiger managed to control himself and start the match.
"With this, let this round begin!" Rudiger announced.
Misteeta summoned a purple staff. "Trick Vanish!" Purple tendrils shot out of his staff towards Yasaka. Yasaka saw this and threw a blue fireball at the purple tendrils. It easily destroyed it.
"Is that it?"
"Trick Vanish!" Misteeta yelled as he summoned more purple tendrils at her. Yasaka once again threw a blue fireball at the purple tendrils. This time the purple tendrils dodged the blue fireball and managed to contact Yasaka. All of them began to transform into purples seals and wrap itself around her body. "YES!" Misteeta shouted.
"Is that it?" Yasaka asked. Misteeta looked in shock as Yasaka began to glow golden briefly and broke the purple seals. "Let show you how it's done." Yasaka began to glow golden and began to transform. She remained bipedal. However, her face is now a golden fox. She is now wearing decorative white robes with oversized sleeves. Below her robes, she is now wearing purple pants. She now has three fingers and claws on each hand and long, white, three-toed legs (2).
"I have lived for a very long time. I know that there will be times where I need to be more offensive and defensive. So, I developed a few forms. My previous form is a balance between offensive and defensive. This form is more focused on defensive and long-range magic." Yasaka said as she threw six red talismans from her oversized sleeve. Misteeta tried to run away from Yasaka's red talismans but it was pointless. All of them stuck to Misteeta, freezing him in place. Yasaka walked over to the immobilized Misteeta. "Let me show you my offensive form."
Yasaka once began to glow golden and transform. Unlike her previous form, this form looks more human. She is dressed in a black bodysuit with golden armor. Her head is partially covered by a golden helmet in the shape of a fox head. Her golden hair is now reached her ankles but tied in a way to appear like two foxtails. She has golden breast and shoulder armor. She has purple and golden gloves and high-heels. In her arm, she has a golden shakujō in her hand (3).
"Unlike my defensive form, this form relies on more attacking." Blue flames began to gather around the head of the shakujō. "Shuryō Kitsune [Hunting Fox]!" Yasaka yelled as she stabbed the shakujō forward. The blue flames shout out of the shakujō. The blue flames transformed into a gigantic fiery fox as attacked Misteeta.
"Sairaorg's Bishop Misteeta Sabnock has been retired," Naud announced. Yasaka reverted to her normal form as she began to glow green as she was transported out of the pocket dimension.
Scene Change: Floating City Agares: Stadium
Yasaka appeared at the teleporting pad. She walked back to the pad. Ichigo gave Yasaka a quick kiss on the cheek. "We shall now decide the fourth match." Suddenly a beautiful woman with blonde hair tied in a ponytail and blue eyes stood up.
"I challenge Kurosaki Ichigo's queen." She said.
"What is this? Sairaorg's Queen: Kuisha Abaddon has challenged Kurosaki Ichigo's queen." Rudiger yelled. Ichigo shrugged his shoulders as he walked back to his seat as a hooded figure stood up.
"Good luck," Ichigo said as he hugged her. She walked past the podium and into a large circular plate. A green seal appeared underneath her as she was teleported down to the battlefield.
Scene Change: Pocket Dimension: Forest
The hooded peerage member appeared on one side. On the other side there stood Kuisha Abaddon.
"The participants from each team are now entering the battlefield!" Rudiger said.
"On our right side, we have Sairaorg's Queen: Kuisha Abaddon. Everyone cheered for them. "On our left side, we have…" Naud said. She grabbed her cloak and threw it off.
"To those who don't know me, I'm Eucliwood Hellscythe," Eu said. At this moment, everyone could see Kuisha messed up big time.
"With this, let this round begin!" Rudiger announced. Kuisha and Eu didn't move.
"If I remember correctly, the House of Abaddon's is known for its ability to create and control portals," Eu said as she walked towards Kuisha. Eu took out her pen. She transformed the pen into a reddish-orange scythe. Kuisha blasted Eu with a variety of magical attacks. Some of them were elemental base spells. Eu casually blocked them with her scythe.
"Attack me!" Kuisha said.
"As you wish," Eu said as she disappears from view. Kuisha looked around, trying to find Eu. Suddenly she felt a blade by her neck. Eu revealed herself behind Kuisha with her scythe's edge an inch from her neck. "Please admit defeat."
"I'm sorry. But I can't!" Kuisha said as she summoned her portals. She used her portal to escape from Eu. Kuisha appeared a few feet away as she rubbed her neck. Eu turned to face her.
"Magic Bind," Eu said. Kuisha could suddenly feel something wrong. Kuisha tried to summon her portals. None of them showed up. Kuisha looked at Eu with a fear.
"I temporally bounded your magical abilities. It will remain bounded until the end of the match." Eu explained. Kuisha nodded in understanding. She put her hands up in a fighting style. Eu charged at her and began to repeatedly swing her scythe. Kuisha tried to block or dodge the attacks as much as she could. Kuisha took a lot of hits from Eu. Soon enough Eu's scythe was right next to Kuisha's neck. This time Eu cut a little into her neck.
"Sairaorghas forcefully retired his Queen: Kuisha Abaddon," Naud announced. Eu returned her scythe to a pen and released the magic bind on Kuisha. The two queens glowed green and returned to the stands.
Scene Change: Floating City Agares: Stadium
Eu appeared at the teleporting pad. She walked back to the pad. Ichigo gave Eu a quick kiss on the cheek. "We shall now decide on the next match."
"We do not need to roll, my next piece will be my other rook, Ladora Buné," Sairaorg announced.
"Very well," Ichigo said as he turned to see one of his remaining cloaked servants standing up. Ichigo hugged her as she walked to the teleportation pad. She glowed green before being sent down to the battlefield.
Scene Change: Pocket Dimension: Beach
The hooded peerage member appeared on one side. On the other side there stood a tall and lanky man with dark green hair and red eyes. "The participants from each team are now entering the battlefield!" Rudiger said.
"On our right side, we have Sairaorg's remaining Rooks: Ladora Buné!" Everyone cheered for them. "On our left side, we have…" Naud said. She grabbed her cloaks and threw it off.
"I am Kurosaki Masaki, Ichigo's Pawn."
"With this, let this round begin!" Rudiger announced. Ladora transformed into a Western Dragon with black scales.
"ROOOOAAAARRR!" Ladora roared and spit out a stream of fire at Masaki. Masaki summoned her Quincy Shield and blocked the attack. Ladora stopped spitting fire at them. Masaki counter attacked.
"Heilig Pfeil!" Masaki yelled as she began to fire Heilig Pfeils from her shield. Due to her Heilig Pfeils were created from the Ladora's fire that the shield absorbed; the Heilig Pfeils is on fire.
"GGHHHROOAR!" Ladora roared in pain. Masaki's Heilig Pfeils were a mix of holy energy and fire. The holy energy made it easy to penetrate Ladora's skin while the fire cauterized the wound; making the Heilig Pfeils stuck. Ladora began to scratch and claw himself to remove the arrows. Masaki seeing this realized the Holy energy from the Heilig Pfeils was doing serious damage. Masaki vanished her shield.
"I am going to remove the Heilig Pfeils," Masaki announced as she slowly focused on the Heilig Pfeils stuck on Ladora's body. She disintegrated all the Heilig Pfeils that are suck on Ladora's body to reiatsu.
"ROOAAR." Ladora roared in appreciation.
"Don't thank me yet since we are still combatants." Masaki gathered the reiatsu from all the disintegrated Heilig Pfeils and transformed it into a dragon. Masaki's dragon appears to be a typical Eastern dragon, with a long, serpentine body, deer-like antlers, flowing whiskers, and a lupine face. In this form, he has smooth, silver scales with an aqua mane. "Say hello to my friend Haku (4)."
"ROAR!" Haku roared at Ladora.
"ROAAR!" Ladora roared back. Haku lunge at Ladora. Haku used his long body to wrap itself around Ladora's neck; beginning to strangle him. Ladora tried to grab Haku. Haku spits out water at Ladora's mouth. Soon enough, Ladora collapsed and was unconscious. Masaki turned to Haku.
"Thank you." She said as Haku disintegrated.
"Sairaorg's Rook Ladora Bunéhas has been retired," Naud said. Masaki glowed green before being teleported away.
Scene Change: Floating City Agares: Stadium
Masaki appeared at the teleporting pad. She walked back to the pad. Ichigo gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Everyone gave Ichigo a quick hug before Ichigo and the last hooded peerage member entered the large circular plate. A green seal appeared underneath them as they were teleported down to the battlefield.
Scene Change: Pocket Dimension: Final Destination
Everyone appeared at an empty dimension. The only thing there was a floor for them to battle. Other than that, there is nothing there. Ichigo and the last hooded peerage member appeared on one side. On the other side there stood Sairaorg and his last peerage member. He appears to be a young boy with spiky golden hair, golden eyes, and facial markings.
"On our right side, we have Sairaorg himself and his Pawn: Regulus." Everyone cheered for them. "On our left side, we have Ichigo himself and his…"
"Queen. She will not fight until I am defeated." Ichigo said.
"Very well… let this round begin!" Rudiger announced.
"Regulus, stay now," Sairaorg ordered as he raised his arms had golden markings glowing. "These are restraints that restrict my movements and weigh me down. I will remove them now." The golden markings were removed, and they slammed onto the ground, kicking up dust.
"No weapon?"
"No. I had the misfortune of being born without any magic, so I trained myself in hand to hand combat."
"Very well then. I will also fight you in hand to hand combat. Allow me to remove my restraints." Ichigo said as he enters his Shinigami form. Ichigo decided to forgo the entire Shinigami shihakushō; Ichigo only has the hakama pants, socks, and geta. Ichigo got into a fighting stance.
"Oh. Very well!" Sairaorg yelled as he charged at Ichigo with a right hook. Ichigo took the right hook on his left cheek
"Is that it?" Ichigo said as he punched Sairaorg in the face; sending him a few feet back. Sairaorg touched his face; it slightly stings.
"It has been a while since I felt pain." Sairaorg charged at Ichigo with a set of punches. Ichigo responded with his own set of punches. Each punch sent shockwaves throughout the space. Ichigo gave Sairaorg a surprise roundhouse kick, stunning him briefly.
"Sairaorg, why do you fight?"
"I fight to protect my peerage. For I am the King… It's my duty to protect them!"
"Then why do you hesitate? I can tell you aren't giving it your all." Sairaorg chuckled.
"You could tell?"
"I can."
"It's because of the contract. I wanted you to win."
"Forfeit the match."
"What?"
"Don't worry. We can continue the match after that."
"Are you sure."
"Trust me. My queen can handle the dimension if we decided to go all out."
"I, Bael Sairaorg, hereby forfeit this match!"
"Bael Sairaorg has forfeited the match!" Rudiger said.
"NOW!" Ichigo ordered. His queen nodded as she took control of the pocket dimension and teleported the peerage members inside the pocket dimension. They were able to view the fight and cheer them on.
"What is going on?" Rudiger asked.
"I will explain. I am simply keeping my words." Ichigo said.
"Who is your other queen?" Ichigo turned to her.
"Do you want to reveal yourself?" She grabbed her robes and pulled them off.
"I go by many names, but many know me as Ophis the Ouroboros Dragon and the Infinite Dragon God." Ichigo turned back to Sairaorg. He was shocked to see who stood there.
"Ready to continue?" This broke Sairaorg out of his train of thought.
"Yes."
"ORA!" They yelled as the continued to deliver punch after punch. Everyone could feel how strong each punch was. Sairaorg managed to get a lucky punch and uppercut Ichigo away. Ichigo managed to do a backflip to stand right back up.
"Looks like I need to shift into high gear," Ichigo said as he began to gather his reiatsu.
"GAAAAHHHH!" Ichigo yelled as he forced his reiatsu into his arms and legs. "Shunkō [Flash War Cry]!" Ichigo yelled out. Ichigo is now surrounded by pure energy. Ichigo appeared right next to Sairaorg. Before Sairaorg could react, Ichigo already punched him in the chest and sent him flying.
"GAH!" As Ichigo appeared and punched him again. This continued for a while. Ichigo beating Sairaorg like a pinball. Regulus had enough and attacked Ichigo. Ichigo seeing this dodged his attack. Regulus caught Sairaorg and gently lowered himself down.
"Regulus," Sairaorg said. Regulus turned to face Ichigo and began to transform. Regulus transformed into a golden lion that's about four to five meters tall and has a jewel on its forehead.
"Lord Sairaorg!" Regulus said. "Please don me! With that you…"
"Shut up! I decided I would only use that if the underworld was in danger!
"Use the lion's power," Ichigo said. "I want to see you go all out. I want both of us to be pushed to our very limits. This is no longer a fight for any reason except for us to dance in the pleasure of combat." Ichigo said. Sairaorg stared at Ichigo before laughing.
"Very well…Regulus!"
"Yes!" Regulus yelled as he transformed into a golden light and hit Sairaorg.
"My lion! The king of Nemea! You who are called the Lion King! Respond to my rage and transform into my vesture!"
"BALANCE BREAKER!" They yelled. Ichigo was blinded by a blast of golden right. The golden light died down to reveal Sairaorg is now wearing golden lion armor.
"Regulus Rey Leather Rex!" Sairaorg yelled out. He dashed to Ichigo and punched him in the gut.
"GAH!" Ichigo as he flew a few feet away. Ichigo stopped himself and charged at Sairaorg. They continued to punch each other. Each of them mirrored each other punches. Each impact caused its sonic boom.
"I need to go Faster… Stronger." Ichigo thought to himself. Ichigo remembered his conversation with Yoruichi about his Shunkō.
Flashback: Chapter 17
"Interesting," Yoruichi said.
"What," Ichigo said as he dismissed his Shunkō.
"Your Shunkō isn't showing affiliation to an element," Yoruichi said.
"So?" Ichigo asked.
"My Shunkō showed an affiliation to lightning due to my Zanpakutō," Yoruichi said. "I theorize that due to your status as a Hybrid or Zangetsu not affiliation with an element, which is preventing your Shunkō from evolving," Yoruichi said.
"What if I have mastery of other elements?" Ichigo said.
"With this ability in mind, you could evolve Shunkō beyond what Suì-Fēng and I had done," Yoruichi said.
"Thanks," Ichigo said.
Flashback: End
Ichigo decided to test the idea out. Ichigo pushed himself away from Sairaorg. "Schrift V: The Ventus!" Ichigo yelled as winds began to gather around. Sairaorg stopped and stared; curious about what Ichigo was going. Ichigo pushed all the reiatsu from Schrift V: The Ventus into Shunkō. His entire body is wrapped around in wind. "Kansei… Hayate Shunkō [Complete… Hurricane Flash War Cry]!" Ichigo said as he charged at Sairaorg and restarted their brawl. Ichigo noticed he was faster than Sairaorg.
"Why? Why is Ichigo stronger than before?" Sairaorg thought to himself.
"Because my King, Ichigo is advancing, learning new techniques and evolving old ones," Regulus answered.
"I see." Sairaorg understood the reason. "Regulus can you teach me your techniques."
"I will my KING!" Regulus roared.
"GGGAAHHHH!" Sairaorg yelled as the armor began to glow. Sairaorg raised his right hand to the sky. Lightning began to spark from the right hand. "LEOBREAKER!" Sairaorg yelled as he charged toward and punched Ichigo in the chest.
"GGAAAHAHA!" Ichigo yelled from the pain and the electricity. Sairaorg allowed Ichigo's body to drop. Sairaorg was breathing heavily. Ichigo managed to shunpō'ed away from Sairaorg. Ichigo was also breathing heavily. They both noticed that the other was breathing heavily.
"One last attack?" Ichigo asked.
"One last attack." Sairaorg agreed.
"GGGGGGAAAAAHHHHHH!" Ichigo and Sairaorg yelled. Both Ichigo and Sairaorg raised their right hand to the sky. Sairaorg's right hand, lightning once again began to gather around it. Ichigo had the wind from Hayate Shunkō gather around Ichigo's right hand. They stared at each other for a few seconds before they charged at each other.
"LEO-!"
"RASEN[Spiral]-!"
"BREAKER!
"HAYATE[Hurricane]!" They let out one final punch. Upon impact, everyone felt the strongest sonic boom yet. They stood still to see who would fall first. All the wind Ichigo gathered suddenly disappeared. Regulus and Sairaorg defused. Regulus stood next to Sairaorg as he stood there unconscious. Regulus stared at Ichigo.
"Tell Sairaorg to contact me if he needs help finding ways to get stronger."
"Very well," Regulus said. Ichigo turned to Ophis and she teleported everyone out of the pocket dimension.
Scene Change: Floating City Agares: Stadium
Everyone exited the dimensional pocket and returned to their respective sides. Everyone in the audience was clapping and cheering. Ichigo turned around from everyone in his peerage and entered the elevator down. Ichigo walked out of the arena. Everyone then covered themselves with the robes from earlier. Ichigo could see various reporters running towards him. Ichigo briefly activated Schrift V: The Ventus again. Ichigo forced the reporters to 'part the sea'. They soon arrived outside. Ichigo summoned his car. Everyone got inside before the reporters could exit the building. Ichigo opened a Garganta and drove straight in. He dropped the car off as he immediately entered another Garganta. Ichigo returned to Agares Castle and helped Lord Agares write a marriage contract for Seekvaira and Don. With the soon to be married couple happy, Ichigo opened another Garganta and returned home.
Scene Change: Kuoh Town: Kurosaki Household
Ichigo returned home to see everyone is sitting down for dinner. Yuzu and Karin made curry for dinner. Ichigo could see Yuzu and Karin asking everyone about the Rating Game. They weren't able to attend because Masaki didn't allow them to skip school for the event; even though Sirzechs was willing to excuse them. Eventually, Ichigo joined them for dinner.
"Ichigo, when is my date?" Moka asked.
"It will be tomorrow after school."
"Why can't I skip school for our date? Yuzu and Karin had a day-long date with you."
"Yuzu and Karin had a day-long date with me are because they didn't have a school that day. As for you, you already skipped school today. I don't want you to miss school too much; especially since you just transferred to the school." Ichigo said.
"Fine," Moka said with a slight glare. Soon Ichigo finished dinner and decided to call it a night.
Time Skip: Morning
Ichigo woke up to see that Moka lied on his left side; while Eu lied on his right side. Ichigo raised his head slightly to see that his left leg is occupied by Valiona; while his right leg was occupied by Kisara. Ichigo gently shook his arms and legs. Ichigo could see everyone was reluctant in letting go of Ichigo. Ichigo managed to free himself from their grasp. Ichigo walked down to see Masaki was already up and making breakfast.
"Oh. You're up early."
"You're acting if that is a surprise."
"I've seen you be one of the last ones up." Masaki slightly blushed.
"I received a call in the early morning from the clinic phone number," Masaki explained as she flipped some fish.
"What happened?"
"Oh, a couple didn't realize until the last minute that the wife was giving birth to their kid."
"How last minute?"
"She was pushing the kid out."
"Wow. Any problems?"
"No. She gave birth to a boy. They left the hospital an hour ago."
"I see." Soon everyone walked down. Ichigo helped Masaki served breakfast, consisting of rice with some miso soup and fried fish. Everyone soon finished breakfast. Masaki and Kahlua went downstairs to work in the clinic. Yuzu, Karin, Moka, and Elizabeth went to Kuoh Academy. Valiona and Kisara resumed teaching Shēnyuān and Xīng Chénon how to use their dragon abilities. Eu and Ophis are taking care of Nyx. Ichigo decided to go to the underground training room and experiment with his Shunkō.
Time Skip: Three hours later
In the first hour, Ichigo managed to combine Shunkō with Schrift A: The Aqua Dominum to create Nagare Shunkō [Flowing Flash War Cry]; Schrift G: The Gaia Crusher to create Taeru Shunkō [Enduring Flash War Cry] and Schrift I: The Ignatius to create Nenshō Shunkō [Burning Flash War Cry]. After that Ichigo experimented with each of his elemental Shunkō to see if he can activate it without having to activate Shunkō first then call for the Schrift he wanted. It took two hours to figure it out with Yhwach's assistance. What Ichigo had to do was forcefully create a path from each respective elemental schrift to his back; since that is the place all the reiatsu exits for Shunkō. Before Ichigo could train more, Ichigo felt someone trying to contact him through the peerage link.
"Hello?"
"Ichigo. It's Akua. Can you please come over here right now?"
"Akua, can you send me a mental picture of where you are?"
"Sure."
"I got it," Ichigo said. Ichigo opened a Garganta and jumped in it. Ichigo soon jumped out of the Garganta to see Akua wasn't alone. There were three other people with her. There were a pregnant woman and two little girls. The pregnant lady appears to be around her thirties. She has long blond hair and green eyes, she also wears glasses. She's wearing a pair of a black t-shirt and black sweatpants. The little girl appears to only be three years old. She has long blond hair that has silver and black hair clips on it. She has red eyes. The other girl appears to be ten years old. She has light blue hair and blue eyes. Unlike the other two, she has porcelain color skin. Both wore a similar oversized black shirt, likely from the other women.
"Um… who are you?"
"My name is Lunatique Tearju and this is my daughter Eve," Tearju said.
"Esdeath." The other girl said.
"Ichigo, can you destroy the lower level without disturbing the mountain?" Akua asked.
"Sure." Ichigo briefly activated Schrift G: The Gaia to raise the earth; successfully destroying the lower levels. "Done."
"Let's take them to the clinic so that Masaki-san can look everyone over," Akua suggested.
"Um… how?" Tearju asked. Ichigo summoned his car. "Never mind." Everyone entered Ichigo's car and drove back home. Ichigo gave Masaki and Kahlua a heads up about the three guests he was bringing home. As soon as Ichigo arrived, Masaki and Kahlua were there waiting for them. Masaki and Kahlua quickly introduced themselves and helped the three to the clinic.
"Kaa-san please keep us informed about their status. We're going to Yasaka." Ichigo said.
"Ok, Ichigo," Masaki said. Ichigo and Akua entered the car and drove to Yasaka Temple.
Scene Change: Yasaka Shrine
Ichigo and Akua quickly parked the car. They entered Yasaka Shrine and walked to Yasaka's office.
"Hello, Ichigo and Akua. What happened?" Akua slid the USB to her.
"I finished the mission. I'll hand you a formal report on a later date."
"There is no need for that. This is an informal mission. I just need you to tell me what happened."
"Very well…It all started when I went off on my mission…" Akua said.
Flashback: Chapter 22: Kyushu Island: Yusui
Akua used the dimensional tunnels to reach Yusui on Kyushu Island.
"So according to Yasaka-hime's report, the sightings are somewhere around here." Akua decided to explore the nearby villages to see what is going on. Akua sneaked into a clothing store and 'borrowed' some casual clothes to blend in with the locals better. As she walked around she heard interesting rumors.
"Hey did you hear about what happened to Tadaka-san?"
"No. What happened to her?"
"Some people saw her walking towards the mountains."
"She might have wanted to have a night stroll?"
"Around midnight?"
"So, what happened next?"
"Tadaka-san disappeared after that."
"Now…" Akua spent that morning asking collecting information about the missing people. She discovered that all the missing people were girls who were from the ages of 18 to 25. The strange detail is that these girls would go missing every three days. Akua decided to see if other nearby settlements also had this missing people problem. She went over to two other nearby settlements and discovered that their missing people were also girls between that age ranges and filled in the gaps. Akua believed she figured out the pattern. Akua went over to the third settlement since it should be the next on the list based on the pattern. Akua had to leave for Ichigo's party. She soon returned from the party. She sat on top of a roof and observed. Soon it reached midnight and she noticed a girl walking towards the nearby Mountain. Akua followed the girl. She slowly walked towards a side of the mountain. It appears to be a dead end. Despite that, she continued to walk towards the mountain. When she reached the dead end, she walked right through. Akua walked up to the dead end. She touched it and discovered it was an illusion. With that, Akua entered the secret passage.
Scene Change: Secret Passage
Akua walked on in and could immediately sense significant changes in the atmosphere. She could sense Yōki. Akua carefully walked down the secret passages. She soon spots a scientist entering a restroom. Akua sneaked in the restroom with the scientist. Luckily for her, there wasn't anyone else in the restroom. She immediately knocked out the scientist and bit down on his neck and began to drink his blood. Soon the scientist died from blood loss. Akua stuff the body in a nearby supply cabinet as she processed what she learned from the scientist.
This is a research division that was tasked to attempt to create soldiers by using Alucard's cells.
Their first idea was to inject the victim with Alucard's cells. They decided to use children since they were still capable of growing. 25 children were kidnapped and exposed to this experiment, only one survived. However, she didn't gain a lot of Alucard's powers; besides enhanced her physical strengths. Instead, she awoke her latent Yuki-Onna abilities. The scientists hypothesized that she survived because of her latent Yuki-Onna genes activated. The scientists decided to scrap the idea and developed another idea.
The next idea is to impregnate females for them to produce offspring that have Alucard's powers. The scientists would simply inject Alucard's cells. This experiment failed since none of the kidnapped women were pregnant. The Yōkai Scientists were forced to 'acquire' human scientists to fix the problem. Tearju Lunatique was one of the scientists 'acquired' by the Yōkai Scientists. She managed to convert Alucard's cells into sperm cells. The Yōkai scientists locked her up as they used her altered cells and injected it into their captured females. Unfortunately, none of the females became pregnant. In their rage, they killed all the other human scientists and dragged Lunatique out of her cage. From there, they injected her with the altered cells. A few days later she was pregnant. The scientists constantly observed Lunatique. Nine months later, Tearju Eve was born. The scientists allowed Lunatique to take care of Eve for two years. During this time, Lunatique had blood and tissue samples taken to discovered how she became pregnant compared to the other girls. They weren't able to discover the secret. After that, Eve was taken from her and Lunatique was once again injected with the altered sperm and she was once again pregnant. She is currently seven months in.
With Akua's new knowledge, Akua ran down the corridor and slaughtered everyone in her path. She soon arrived at an office. She saw on the deck there was a computer. Akua used the scientist's memories to unlock the computer. She inserted a USB and began to copy all the files on their servers. Akua pulled up a map and found the location of Lunatique, Eve and the unnamed girl. Eve and the unnamed girl are close together. With Akua's plan set, the computer beeped. She turned to see the terminal is done copying everything down. Akua removed the USB and ran down to find Lunatique. She slaughtered all the people in her way. She soon arrived in Lunatique's room. She destroyed the prison doors. Akua could see Lunatique sitting on a couch reading. Akua quickly explained the situation to Lunatique and helped her get out of her room. Akua founded a wheelchair for Lunatique to sit in. Akua pushed her down a few hallways. Occasionally they would encounter more guards which Akua would easily kill. Soon they arrived at a large cell. Akua destroyed the door and entered. They could see two chambers that are small enough for a person. Akua destroyed both chambers and helped the two girls out. After quickly reuniting with her mother, Akua led everyone outside.
Flashback End
"I see… for now, Lunatique Tearju, Lunatique Eve and Esdeath will be under your care till further notice," Yasaka said.
"Ok," Ichigo said. "I need more guy friends." Ichigo thought to himself. Ichigo and Akua left her office and returned home.
Scene Change: Kuoh Town: Kurosaki Clinic
Ichigo and Akua entered the Clinic.
"How are they Kaa-san?"
"Well Tearju appears fine; likely due to the scientist's fear of causing harm to the child."
"Wait. She knows?" Akua asked.
"I allowed her to hear your story," Ichigo said.
"Fine."
"What about the girls?"
"Both Eve and Esdeath appear to be malnutrition base on how thin they are," Masaki said.
"I see. Let me see if Yasaka knows anything that can help." Ichigo said. "Yasaka…"
"Yes, Ichigo?"
"I was wondering if you know anything to help with malnutrition."
"Well we do have nutrition potions but those are recommended for young adults and above."
"I see."
Ichigo ended the peerage link. "According to Yasaka, there are things to help with malnutrition but those are recommended for young adults and above."
"I guess I need to look over those nutrition books."
The clinic door suddenly opened as Moka, Yuzu, Elizabeth, and Karin walked in.
"MOKA!" Akua yelled as she ran down the stairs and tried to tackle Moka. Moka sidestepped and Akua crashed into the door."Ow. Why did you do that Moka?"
"You can come and give me a hug like a normal person," Moka replied.
"Come on. You know we're not normal."
"Oh god…we another one." Yuzu, Karin, Masaki, and Ichigo though as they remembered Isshin doing this.
"Moka, change into something comfortable for our date tonight."
"Ok." Moka ran upstairs.
"A…date…with my Moka…without my permission!" Akua yelled. Ichigo decided to ignore her as he began to walk upstairs. Ichigo could hear Moka yelling and throwing her clothes around. Ichigo knocked on the door.
"Come in." Ichigo walked in to see her room is a mess. "What's the issue?"
"I have nothing to wear!"
"You don't… then these must not be clothes." Ichigo said as he picked up a shirt. It was a black shirt. In the center of the shirt is a white coffee mug in the shape of a bat with the words I Love Mocha around the coffee mug. Moka turned to see Ichigo holding the shirt. "You still have this shirt." Moka began to blush bright red. The shirt was a present from Ichigo.
"I do. It doesn't fit me anymore." Ichigo summoned his staff.
"To make the shirt grow bigger, just think about how large you want the shirt to be and say 'Kakudai Suru [Enlarge]'," Mysteria said.
"Kakudai Suru [Enlarge]" Ichigo said as he tapped the shirt with his staff. The shirt grew into Moka's new size. Ichigo gave her the shirt.
"Thank you," Moka said. Ichigo walked upstairs and pulled out an old shirt Moka bought for him. It was a gray shirt with a small black bat flying while holding a red strawberry with its talons. Just like Moka's shirt, Ichigo enlarged the shirt. Ichigo put the shirt on with black pants. Ichigo walked out and Moka saw the shirt. Moka and Ichigo soon left the house and entered Ichigo's car.
Scene Change: Fuyuki City
It took 20 minutes before Ichigo and Moka arrived at Fuyuki Arena.
"Ichigo what are we doing here?"
"We're here to watching a boxing match.
"A boxing match… why?"
"To help cheer for an old friend of ours."
"Old friend?" Ichigo maneuvered Moka so that she remained clueless about the event. Ichigo guided Moka to their front row seats and sat down. The stadium was crowded. From their spot, they could see the announcer and the judges. Suddenly all the lights were turned off and a spotlight was turned on. Standing in the ring was the announcer. The announcer tapped his microphone.
"Ladies and Gentlemen… Are you ready for the main event!?" Everyone began to cheer. The announcer waited till everyone quieted down. "After losing against Siarhei Liakhovich in 2006, we have Lamon Brewster making a comeback!" Everyone cheered as Lamon Brewster walked on stage. "Now then, we have a rising contender to the stage. Give it up for Yasutora Sado!" Moka turned to Ichigo; who was clapping.
"It's Yasutora; the guy to helped me long ago." Moka realized. Ichigo remembered Moka was saved by Chad when they were still in middle school. At that time, Ichigo didn't know him very well. One day Moka was being bullied again and Chad step between them before Ichigo showed up.
Chad and Lamon walked to the middle of the arena and shook hands. Soon the bell rang the fight began. Chad and Lamon walked around each other. Lamon swung with a right hook. Chad blocked the attack with his left hand counterattacked with his right. Lamon didn't see it coming and was punched right in the face. Lamon charged at Chad and began to recklessly punch Chad. Chad managed to put his hands up to guard his face. Lamon continued to deliver left hooks and right hooks. Suddenly the bell rang, and the referee jumped in to stop the round. Lamon and Chad returned to their corners to rehydrate and take a brief break.
Soon the referee motioned for them to get ready to start again. Both fighters put their guards up. Soon the bell rang. Lamon immediately went on the offensive again. Lamon managed to punch Chad in the face a few times before sending him a devastating uppercut. Chad flew a few inches and fell to the ground.
"One!" The referee said. "Two! Three!"
"Sado get up!" Moka yelled.
"Four! Five! Six!"
"Come on Sado get up!" Moka yelled.
"Seven! Eig-!"Ichigo stood up.
"CHAD GET UP!" Ichigo yelled. Everyone could see Chad starting to rise. The referee noticed Chad starting to get up and stopped counting. Chad looked to see Ichigo standing up.
"I-chigo?" Chad said.
"CHAD GET UP! Show him El Gigante [The Giant]!" Chad slowly stood up and everyone cheered.
"Ichigo is here. Ichigo is here despite me breaking my promise. I will not allow myself to lose!" As soon as the referee signals the match to resume, Chad charged forward. Lamon tried to do a quick jab with his left hand. Chad blocked it with his right hand and punched Lamon in the face. Lamon was stunned by the attack. Chad punched Lamon with his right fist. "El Directo!" Chad then punched Lamon with his left fist. "La Muerte!" Lamon collapsed on the ground.
"One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight!" The referee crossed his arms, to signal a knockout and grabbed Chad's right hand and raised it.
"There we have it, folks! The winner of this match, by knock out, is Yasutora Sado!" Everyone began to cheer. Sado and the coaches began to leave the ring. The security guards began to escort them out. Ichigo and Moka tried to follow Chad. The security guards noticed them and tried to block them off.
"Allow them through," Chad said. The security guards looked at the coaches who nodded. The security guards made a small hole for Ichigo and Moka to get through. They soon arrived at Chad's hotel room.
"Ichigo I'm sorry. I'm sorry for leaving you."
"Chad." Chad ignored him and continued to ramble.
"I know I broke my promise to watch your back; despite you risking yourself for me."
"Chad," Ichigo said. Chad looked up to see Ichigo extending out his hand.
"Um…"
"I understand why you did what you did. You, Orihime and Uryū listened to my father when he told you to leave me alone. If I were to blame anyone it would be him not you."
"Thank you." Chad reached out and shook Ichigo's hand. Ichigo, Chad, and Moka chat for an hour before Ichigo realized it was getting late. Ichigo gave Chad his address and phone number before they left. Ichigo and Moka returned home to see Eu, Yuzu, Karin, Elizabeth and Ophis already sleeping on Ichigo's bed. Moka and Ichigo changed and joined them in bed.
