Fear was something that he had only experienced a couple times in his life. The most prominent time was when his mother died. The other time is when he first fought kenpachi. Both of those times were turning points in his life, they made him stronger both mentaly and physically. Now he had a fear that would probably never go away.

Jyugin jakkka was the sword of yamamoto, whose banki was said to be able to destroy all of soul society. He didn't know if it was true since he didn't get to see much of the old man's battle. But when they were taking a break during the war,Shunshi had said that all the water within all the seireitei had evaporated within moments of Yamamoto's bankai activating.

Now he had ryujin jakka as a part of his soul and he didn't know how to deal with that. How was he supposed to train this new power without wiping out and killing hundreds of people? Hell,If bankai was able to destroy the world then what would shikai do with an extra power boost. Would it destroy cities or something like that. He shook his head, maybe he could ask these people where there was someplace he could train without destroying somebody's house or killing their families.

He sighed this new power would be a pain to get ahold of but he would do it. He would master his powers and his new one while he was in this dimension. So when he fought yhwach or aizen they would never know what was coming.

Sitting up from his meditation position he began walking out of the apartment that he was staying in for now. It would be a pain to walk to the city but he could do it easily. With a simple flash step he was at the outskirts of the city and started walking through the street.

It was weird being in this new place, all around him there were people that looked different or had some sort of power. When he asked Emma about it all she had told him that they were a race called mutants and that they lived on an island away from humanity. When he had asked why they were living away from humanity, she had said that humans really didn't like mutants.

He scowled at that, this whole dimension or universe whatever it was called was more messed up than his ever was. There were superheroes fighting crime, villains rampaging all over the place and apparently there were even beings from outer pace.

'This is all too much' ichigo thought, he cursed when he heard the maniacal laughter of zangetsu in the back of his head.

Just as he had that thought, he bumped into someone knocking them over. Looking down he raised an eyebrow at the young woman. She was wearing probably one of the most revealing clothes he's seen. She had blonde hair and some weird black things in her hair. He sighed as he crouched down and stuck his hand out for the woman.

Illyana opened her eyes to see the hand of the one who made her fall. She looked to see who it belonged to only to be surprised. It was the man she had come looking for. Looking at the hand once more she reached out and grabbed it letting the man haul her to her feet. She quickly brushed off any dirt that got on her before turning her attention to the man once again. He was tall standing at about six foot. He also had the most orange hair she had ever seen. Honestly she thought they were joking when they said his hair was orange. Shaking her head she stared up at him craning her neck just to look him in his eyes.

."You are ichigo kurosaki yes" the man raised an eyebrow and still held a scowl at the same time which was truly impressive.

"Yeah whos asking" his english had a heavy japanese accent which surprised her a little bit, she didn't think he was japanese.

"I am Illyana Rasputin and I was wondering if you would come with me for a little bit." she said in a neutral tone. Ichigo looked her up and down for a moment before walking away.

"I'm not ready for that yet" the man even had the gall to give a small wave to her before walking into the distance.

She stared dumbfounded and frustrated, and what was he even talking about he wasn't ready yet. It took a moment longer before she realized what he ment. Her face turned as red as a tomato before she stormed off leaving the street and returning back to the strange academy.

For a long time anyone who heard the short conversation between the two would start rumors about illyana. Some would be tame and others would be outrageous. One of the most accepted theories is that illyana was lusting after ichigo while another was that illyana was a sex fiend that wanted nothing more than the strongest of men to hook up with. But no matter what, that one conversation would make people lose respect for her or gain a new fascination.

Line break.

Returning to his apartment after that weird encounter, Ichigo sat on the couch. He let out a sigh before he got into a meditation position and took a deep breath. Not a second later he was staring at the two zanpakuto spirits.

Zangetsu had that maniacal grin on his face, while ryuginn flew through the sky. Ichigo took out the zanpaktou on his back and held it in front of him. Ichigo also gave a grin not as maniacal but a bit blood thirsty nonetheless.

The two warriors charged at each other. Their weapons clashed in a harmony-like melody played by a musician. They danced around each other, either blocking or dodging the other blows.

Ichigo grinned when he landed a slash on zangetsu. The spirit let out a grunt of pain before giving his own maniacal grin. Their battle began again, their strikes becoming more ferocious, making it look like wild animals were fighting instead of swordsmen.

Blood sprayed across the ground as the two warriors landed more strikes onto each other. Ryuginn watched from the skies, taking in the battle before him.

It was interesting watching the two fight as he never truly got to see much battle in the later years of the gotei thirteen. A sparring match here and there and of course during the battle with yhwach and aizen. It was refreshing seeing the young blood fight and maybe he would see more battle with ichigo.

He turned his head in the direction of an anomaly happening in Ichigo's mindscape. Someone was trying to get into his mind. He raised his wings to the sky and headed towards the intrusion. It took a moment but he eventually saw what it was or more accurately who.

It looked to be the human woman who was trying to seduce ichigo. He didn't know why she was here or what her plans were but they would not come to light. Landing in front of her he glared at her.

The woman looked at him for a moment and then turned in the direction ichigo and zangetsu were fighting. Before she could get too far he reached out and scooped her up in his claws. Bringing her up to eye level he glared even harder.

"What are you doing here human?" as he spoke small whiffs of smoke came out of his maw.

The woman shook the smoke away from her face before replying." i merely came to see what this man did inside his mind"

If anything that only made the dragon anver grow" yet you did not ask for permission and violated his privacy, so there must be more than wanting to see what he does inside of here." he tightened his grip around her making her let out a gasp.`` Tell me what you really want and I will think about not eating your feeble soul and leaving your body an empty husk."

The woman gave a look of fear at his threat and he relished in it ``I wanted information on what you beings were and what else he was hiding from us, so as to figure out how much of a threat he is and the best ways to take him out."

The grip lessened but the glare did not. ``And yet what of your seduction, you invited him into your home and then you whispered into his ear with nothing but rags on."

The woman gave a glare of her own" i'm doing what i think is right for the safety of my nation and the people in it, if i have to seduce a man to keep it safe i will"

Ryuginn set the woman down on the ground and stood up to his full height." your actions will only make an enemy of us if you continue with your agendas towards us, but i will let you leave as i have also seen people in the same situation as you.`` The spirit let out a flame of fire right next to the woman" but make no mistake, Emma Frost, if I ever find one of your kind in this place again the only thing that awaits you will be the gaits of hell."

To accentuate his point he held out his arm in front of her and not a moment later a gait with skeletons and about her height appeared. It was not the real thing, only a copy made in the mindscape but if he truly wanted to he could summon the real ones since they are connected to Ichigo's soul.

Emma glared with both fear and anger. She didn't think her journey would turn out to be a clusterfuck of a mess. But she should have guessed it wouldn't be easy. She'll try again next time and be more prepared.

Letting out a sigh she responded to the beast threat" very well i will heed your warning"

The beast let out a flame from his mouth before he responded" good"

With that the beast used its tail and knocked emma out of ichigo's mindscape. The next thing she knew, she had her head in ichigo's lap and sweat rolling down her face. She quickly got up from her spot and went to the door. Next time she went into his mindscape she would be more prepared and ready for anything.

With that thought she left the apartment never noticing the slight cracking of ichigo eyes.
