Shinigami of the Shinto

Okay. I'm sorry, and I know that most readers are over seeing Ichigo face a hollow like experience, but I'm not going to stop. And don't worry there is a reason to this stupidity, so please be patient, and enjoy.

'How!' Freed yelled at himself as he was getting his butt handed to him by two kids. He had an Excalibur that had four fragments and he's still losing. 'How! I was supposed to kill that orange-haired demon with this sword! How am I losing!' He continued screaming at himself as he was being tossed around like a rag doll.

When the insane exorcist finally got himself under control he blocked an attack, but as he did he watched as the Excalibur in his hand exploded into all of its four original forms. "It's over Freed." The blonde-haired boy said as he held his newly made sword in front of him. "You aren't going to get away this time." He finished.

The white-haired man grinned and grabbed four of the small pellets from his pocket. "Like hell, I am you fucking piece of shit demon!" When he went to throw them at the ground below him, but then he felt an intense pain in his chest, and from where the demon was standing and how he was staring with slightly wide eyes, the exorcist knew it wasn't him. 'Uhhhh?"

He looked down at where the pain was coming from and found a spearhead sticking out. Freed then heard the voice, the voice of the person who has been claiming his nightmares. "I gave you a crystal clear warning last time we met, Freed." The insane man looked behind him and saw shadows. "But of course, it didn't take you long at all to get on my bad side. You first murder innocent families and take pleasure from it. But now you fuck with my friends. Ohh hell no, that is as far as you go you insane piece of shit."

Freed then watched as the orange-haired teen from before stepped out of the shadow with two others with him. Both had raven black hair, but one had a small amount of emotion on her face, and that one being taller than the other. But the two were carbon copies of the other.

"Goodbye Freed Sellzen. I hope you rot in the pits of the deepest parts of hell, you insane fuck." The orange-haired teen said as he twisted the spear around, making the man scream, but it all ended when the teen pushed up, cutting the man in half.

The people who were watching Rias, Sona, and their peerages, the two exorcists, and the bishop watched as blood shot out from the man's dead body and when it fell forward they watched as a familiar face, with blood droplets on it, stepped out from behind it.

All at once, everyone shouted out. "Ichigo!?" The teen looked to them, and Akeno was the one who spoke for the group well the others slowly acknowledged what had happened, and as the crimson beauty finally found out who saved her from a marriage she didn't want. "What are you doing here?"

Ichigo went to answer but another voice spoke up. "Well if it isn't Ichigo Kurosaki Shib-." The man was stopped when a blue arrow was sent in his direction.

He looked back to who shot it, but he found no one, and the orange-haired teen was gone. Little did he know the teen was behind him with his spear at the ready to kill him. But before he could he got a face full of black feathers.

Before he even appeared again, Ichigo readied his hand bow, and shot it, exactly where Kokabiel would appear, hitting him in the shoulder. The fallen angel groaned loudly, not being able to take the arrow out. "What is this power!"

Ichigo vanished again this time reappearing above the man sending a wave of light at the fallen angel. He disappeared again, reappeared below him, and did the same thing. The orange-haired teen repeated it again and again.

When he finally stopped and as the light vanished. Kokabiel looked to be exhausted and burned all over him. But he had a grin on his face. "You thought that would hurt me? I'm a Fallen Angel! The holy light doesn't hurt me, like those demon fuckers over there!" He pointed towards the people on the ground.

Ichigo vanished again, but this time he didn't reappear but instead spoke. "Kokabiel." His voice echoed around the area. "Haven't you heard that the Shinto has returned?"

The man laughed. "The Shinto are cowards! They were then and they will always be cowards." The man summoned a spear of light. "They were once called the strongest, but they did nothing well the other factions died off. They have no ambitions! All they do is hide and wish for peace. Well, it won't fucking happen as long I'm alive!"

He started laughing but stopped when he felt and heard a presence behind him. "Then you will die for disturbing the peace my Mother wishes for." The Fallen Angel looked behind him and found burning yellow and black eyes staring at him. Kokabiel then felt pain, antagonizing pain. He looked over to see a spearhead impaling his shoulder. "You are lucky, for if it wasn't for the peace talks, and the Fallen Angel faction being one of the four factions aiming for peace., I'd have killed you for trying to disturbing the peace my mother aims for." A sadistic grin grew on his face as Ichigo's eyes glowed yellow, and as white and purple slowly took over. "But I still want a little revenge for trying to kill my friends… I believe you don't need those wings anymore."

Everyone below the two watched as their orange-haired friend started ripping the wings off of the Fallen Angel's back, and as the said man screamed. They never knew that Ichigo had this power, and it scared them. The only one that wasn't fazed was Ophis and the child beside her.

But as Ichigo started laughing everyone felt a shiver go down their spines, as the laugh was followed by an echo. Koneko was the first to react and flew towards the teen. "Ichigo." She stopped beside him looking at him, not wanting to see the wingless man, and how blood was seeping from his back. "Stop, he has suffered enough, Ichigo."

But before she knew it, Koneko was flying backwards until she collided with the school building. "Koneko!" Everyone shouted as they watched her go flying, and as Ichigo vanished everyone got up to follow, leaving a moaning fallen angel behind.

Koneko slowly got out of the crater she made when she collided, but before she could move she was pushed back and a hand gripped her throat. Koneko slowly opened her eyes as she reached to the hand around her throat. It was Ichigo, well that was who he looked like, but it wasn't him for this isn't the Ichigo she fell in love with.

This was someone else, someone possessed him, and is making Ichigo do this. "Ich… Ichigo stop." She said having a hard time breathing. "Ichigo… it's me… Koneko." The Nekomata took a handoff his, and slowly placed it onto his cheek.

When everyone arrived they watched as Ichigo stopped laughing and as he dropped the girl in his hand. "Kon… Koneko?" The orange-haired teen backed away and placed his hands onto his head. He watched as sights crossed his mind.

Koneko watched as Ichigo started screaming. She went to him, worried for him. When she got there he found Rias and Akeno standing there. "Ichigo what's happening? Are you okay?" Rias asked.

Ichigo slapped them away. "No… getaway… I don't want to hurt you guys." He continued backing away, placing his hand on his head again, as a massive amount of pain grew. Ichigo looked to see they were still there and yelled. "Go! Please just go!" When he finished a white and purple liquid start flowing out of his mouth, eyes, and ears.

They all looked at him worried, and when they went to him, Ichigo lashed out, yelling for them to go to leave. Rias, Akeno, and Koneko didn't move from where they were, and those on the ground watched as the orange-haired teen went completely still, and where there was once skin and brown eyes, there was now pale white skin and a purple and white mask covering the left side of his face.

Koneko went towards the still body of the teen she has fallen in love with, hoping that he was okay. But as she got to him, she watched as a spear of light impale him. "No!" She shouted and as the body fell forward, and they looked to see that Kokabiel was there grinning, and after a few seconds, he fell back and onto the ground, blood pooling around him.

After a few seconds of realizing what had happened, they all ran towards the orange-haired teen. Rias was the first to get there but when she did, she looked on with wide eyes. For he was already healed, so taking slow steps towards the face-down body, she called out. "Ichigo?"

Within a blink, the teen was on his feet but the mask was still there, and when it spoke it was echoed by a female voice. "The little shit you call, Ichigo, is gone. Devoured in the thoughts of his worst nightmares." The teen then vanished from sight, and when the body reappeared it was behind the white-haired Nekomata. "But I'll make them a living thing, and it will start with this bitch!"

Koneko slowly turned around and found a white and purple longsword flying towards her. But before the blade could make contact a light appeared, one that came from the moon, and everyone watched as an old man appeared in between the two.

The older man was the same height as the possessed Ichigo and had long white hair being held in a chonmage. The man had pure white eyes and had a beard and mustache. He was wearing a pure white nagagi, and jet black hakama, and a silver haori. On the back of the haori was the kanji for the moon.

The man spoke and placed a wrinkly old hand on the possessed teen's forehead. "Ichigo Kurosaki, your mother is calling for you." When he finished the mask started to crack, and when it shattered everyone watched as the orange-haired teen fell forward, and into the arms of the old man. But the mask started growing back immediately. "Amaterasu is worried for you my Nephew. I'll take you to her, and there you can deal with this without hurting anyone, and you will have your mother with you." He turned back to the group, nodded and vanished.

Everyone was wide-eyed as they took everything that just happened. Issei was the first to speak. "What just happened?"

Everyone looked at him, and when someone answered they looked towards that person, who was the girl that came with Ichigo. "That was a Shinto God taking Ichigo back to Takamagahara, to where he will rest."

Koneko was the only one not looking at the emo-looking sixteen-year-old girl. What she was looking at was the puddle of blood that was once where her friend and love interest one laid. 'That wasn't Ichigo. He's too kind and gentle, to do those things.' She placed a hand onto her chest, over her heart, and looked to the moon. 'What happened to you Ichigo? What caused you to do this, Ichigo?'

"Come on, Koneko. We need to head back." Akeno said, grabbing her shoulder. "I know you're worried for our Strawberry, but he is strong and I know he will come back to us." The sadist said, as she as well looked to the moon. 'I know he will. Something is telling me he will come back.'

The group then left, leaving the mess to be cleaned up, and Xenovia and Irina picked up the four pieces of Excalibur. One watching as demons left, thinking about joining them, and as the other was recovering from the news she wanted to believe was fake.

Takamagahara

Amaterasu was there when her brother returned, standing there hoping that her son is well. But when he appeared and when the Goddess saw that the mask was almost back, she felt something in her break. 'Why is this happening to my son? What is causing this?'

The goddess was taken from her thoughts when Tsukuyomi spoke. "Sister, we need to put him into a secured area where he can deal with this, and where he won't be able to harm our people." The Shinto God of the Moon said as he made his way in her direction.

Amaterasu nodded and led him in the way of the only secured place that fit all of that, the prison. When they got to the entrance they found a giant door that had giant bars on it. The goddess walked towards it and placed her hand into it and she watched as the bars, metal, wood, and those of a pure white slowly started moving.

When the door opened it showed darkness that held nothing. Amaterasu stepped to the side, allowing her brother and son to enter. She watched as the God of the Moon placed the unconscious boy onto the ground and as he quickly made his way back to her.

Amaterasu went to close the door, but as she did her eyes looked at the orange-haired teen, and how he is suffering during this. She felt a tear roll down her cheek, not being able to watch her son go through this.

She was taken from her staring when she felt someone place a hand onto her shoulder. "It will be fine Ama. Ichigo has done this before, he will be able to do it again." She looked over to Tsukuyomi who was smiling at her. "Just believe in him."

Amaterasu slowly nodded, got the thoughts into her mind, and slowly a smile grew onto the goddess's face. She looked at her son and watched as he slowly got up. When he turned to look at her all she saw was a white mask and purple and white eyes instead of what Ichigo was born with. She nodded and closed the door, and when it did the bars were brought down, locking the room shut, making it so anything that was inside, couldn't come out.

Again the goddess felt a tear roll down from her eye, but this one was holding hope that her son would be able to break whatever it was that was consuming him, and hopefully soon, for she didn't know how long she could last if he just continued suffering. Amaterasu turned away from the door and followed her brother out of the place, only thinking one thing. 'Come back to me, my son. Come back to me Ichigo Kurosaki.'

Inside the darkness the possessed body of Ichigo Kurosaki started rampaging around, trying to find a way out. But as he did he broke some bonds, bindings that were keeping a traitorous and manipulative man in bindings.

This man was none other than Sōsuke Aizen. A man who recognized the spiritual pressure of the boy who defeated him, but not only that but the boy who also showed him that he isn't alone anymore. But Aizen also took notice that something was off from the spiritual pressure, and how it was slowly being consumed by darkness.

"So, Ichigo Kurosaki, what is happening to you now." The bounded man said as he felt the binds shatter. Allowing him to move, and the first thing he did was make his way in the boy's direction, with only one thing he needed to do.
