Chapter 4: Ichigo vs.


"Ekisu - Extract"

As Ichigo and Tia made their way through the streets of the Seireitei, they noticed that there were a lot of unconscious soul reapers laying on the ground. Tia couldn't believe that Ichigo was the cause for all of this. She was behind him this whole time and ever since he placed his hand on her shoulder, she couldn't feel any trace of his crushing spiritual pressure anymore. It was almost as if he could choose who felt his power and who didn't with a simple touch.

'If this is how he is as a child,' Tia thought to herself as she watched him. 'I can only imagine just how powerful he'll be when he's an adult.'

"There they are!" A voice came from an intersecting street.

Ichigo and Tia stopped where they were and looked to their right to see a man with a square haircut and shades and a bald man with make up standing next to him. The two men stood next to each other with their swords drawn. Well, sword and small knife. Tia looked at the man with shades and chuckled at his weapon.

"If you're trying to impress me, you're doing it wrong." Tia said with another chuckle.

Ichigo started laughing too at her joke. He would always hear stories of when Yoruichi was younger and men were trying to impress her with their zanpakuto size. The bald man was snickering at what Tia said about his friend. The man with shades looked over to his friend and shouted at him.

"DAMMIT IKKAKU, STOP LAUGHING!" The man shouted at Ikkaku.

"Sorry Iba." Ikkaku started when he regained himself. "But the chicks got a point. Why don't we show them just what we're made of."

Iba nodded and held his weapon out and said something under his breath. (AN: Sorry, Couldn't Find His Shikai Release Chant.) Suddenly his knife changed into a large bladed scimitar with some kind of protrusion coming from it just below the tip.

"Ready Ikkaku?" Iba started as he got into his stance.

"Hold on a sec Iba." Ikkaku started. "Since this kid and this smokin hot chick are obviously the intruders, might as well introduce ourselves properly."

Iba nodded and started himself. "Tetsuzaemon Iba, seventh squad lieutenant."

"Ikkaku Madarame," he started posing which confused the hell out of Tia and Ichigo. "Eleventh squad third seat." He struck a very strange pose that had him standing on one foot with his arms and leg outstretched.

Tia and Ichigo looked at each other in confusion and had no clue what they just saw.

"Well," Iba started in an irritated tone. "You two gonna introduce yourselves or not?"

Tia looked back at Ichigo for some kind of confirmation. When Ichigo shrugged at her and nodded slightly, she sighed and turned to them.

"Tia Halibel, former vasto lorde of Hueco Mundo."

Hearing that made the two men gasp at her words. They couldn't believe that a hollow was even able to take a form similar to a humans. She saw their surprised looks and grinned. Ever since she's had her new form, she was wondering just how men would react to her appearance and her former self. Now she knows, and she thinks it's hilarious.

Ikkaku tightened his grip on his zanpakuto as did Iba. They prepared themselves for a true fight for their lives.

"So that was your spiritual pressure from before." Iba started. "You must be very powerful to be able to effect everyone inside the Seireitei."

"Yeah." Ikkaku started with a nervous grin. "This is gonna be good."

That was when Ichigo stepped forward with a grin of his own. Ikkaku and Iba looked at the kid in front of them with bored expressions on their faces.

"Who in the hell are you supposed to be kid?" Ikkaku started.

"Ichigo Kurosaki. And I'm the kid with the crushing spiritual pressure."

Ikkaku and Iba started to laugh at this kid and hie wild accusation of how he nearly caused an all out stand still in the Seireitei.

"Ha, cute kid." Iba started after he finished laughing. "But some brat like you couldn't have even produced a minuscule fraction of what she released."

"Tia." Ichigo started with a huge grin.

"Yeah?"

"You take care of Mr. Shades and I'll take care of baldy." Ichigo looked up at her with his grin. "Don't kill him okay."

Tia nodded and slowly walked over to a defending Iba, but then just like that, she vanished. Iba and Ikkaku were confused as to where she went until Iba was grabbed from the back of his collar and vanished as well.

"Iba!?" Ikkaku shouted as he took his stance to prepare for a surprised attack.

"She won't attack you." Ichigo started as he drew his short sword. Ikkaku saw the blade and scoffed. "You fight me, and when I'm done you're gonna tell me everything you know about the execution here."

"HA! Don't make threats kid. You're way to young to understan-" Ikkaku was cut off when Ichigo disappeared.

He looked around only to be tapped on the shoulder. When he turned around, he was met with a fist to the face. Ikkaku was sent flying to a wall while Ichigo landed and charged an attack in his blade.

"Mikadzuki o nensho!" Ichigo shouted as the orange energy flew at Ikkaku with incredible speed. By the time Ikkaku could even react to Ichigo's words, Ikkaku was engulfed by the energy.

The energy encased him in an orange sphere like object and he couldn't move. The sphere at first was completely solid at first, but when Ichigo went up and touched it, the sphere became transparent. Ikkaku could see the boy standing in front of him with a huge grin on his face. Ikkaku tried to punch his way out of the sphere when he could finally move his arm somewhat freely. When his hand came into contact with it, a small shock went through his arm and it went limp.

"What the hell is this!? What did you do to me!?" Ikkaku yelled at in a clear sound.

"My Mikadzuki o nensho encases anything within itself and gradually drains the reiatsu within, whatever the object is." Ichigo explained, his grin never leaving him. "Don't worry, the sphere is where the reiatsu goes into, and when it breaks or I shatter it to release who or whatever is in it, the reiatsu returns to the individual in incredibly small dosages."

Ikkaku could feel his strength leaving him as he slowly started to fade out. His eyelids and muscles felt incredibly heavy and just as he looked over to the kid, he saw a very tall figure slowly approaching from behind him. And just like that, Ikkaku was done.

"Well that was pretty disappointing." Ichigo said as he placed a hand on the sphere. It shattered and was starting to place Ikkaku's reiatsu back into his body.

Just as Ichigo was about to sheath his short sword, he felt a loud step right behind him. He turned and saw, towering over him, a captain in some sort of mask. He was very bulky and a lot taller than an average person. His wooden mask made it impossible for Ichigo to tell just who this was, but one thing was for certain, this is gonna be a huge problem for the orange haired boy.

"So, you're the one who was behind that spiritual pressure a while ago." The man started. "Then it is time you surrendered child and come with me." He held his hand out to the boy.

Ichigo respond with a scowl. "I'm not leaving with you unless you're goin there." He pointed at the Senzaikyu and the masked man gasped.

"So you're here for a rescue attempt?" He started as he went down to one knee. This startled Ichigo as he was still towered by this man. "I will be the first to tell you then child. In the entire history of the Seireitei, there has never been a successful rescue of anyone who was about to be executed. Just because your power is great doesn't mean that you'll be able to defeat the entire Seireitei with only yourself and a few others that will be dealt with quickly."

Ichigo continued his scowl to the man and didn't back down whatsoever. When the man saw the defiance in the boys eyes he sighed.

"Boy, I am Sajin Komamura. Captain of squad seven."

Ichigo looked surprised. He remembered the guy with the shades that Tia was fighting say that he was the lieutenant of said squad. He wondered just how she was doing and his answer came when Iba crashed down to the ground a few meters away.

"Iba!" Komamura yelled out.

Tia sonidoed over to the motionless body and stood there with her sword still drawn and ready to fight again. Ichigo held his hand up in a gesture that told her not to intervene and she understood. When Tia sheathed her blade, Komamura looked back at the boy.

"I'm going to save my family. And I'm going to bring that tower down in the process." He drew his cleaver and Komamura stepped back gripping his zanpakuto. "And if I have to, I will cut down anybody that stands in my way, captains included."

"Then if you wish to go down this selfish path of yours," Komamura drew his zanpakuto, "then I will have no choice but to bring you in, by force if necessary."

"Selfish!?" Ichigo yelled out. "So being selfish here means that you'd do anything to save the people you care about? Cause if that's selfish, then I guess I'm the most selfish person in this entire place." His cleaver started to glow that black and red energy as Ichigo nearly whispered. "Getsuga Tensho."

He barely swung his blade and a massive beam of his energy fired out at the extremely surprised captain. When the beam traveled and hit its mark, it arched high into the air, so high that it could be seen by half of the Seireitei. Soul reapers, lieutenants, captains, the head captain, and even the trio in the Senzaikyu saw the arch of energy and were absolutely shocked.

When Ichigo turned to Tia, he saw her awe struck face and chuckled under his breath. If she's like this while being this close, he could only imagine everyone else's reactions.

"Come on Tia." Ichigo snapped her out of her stupor. "Lets keep going."

"Don't think you've won that easily child."

Ichigo turned to where he attacked and noticed a giant sword piercing the ground with a massive ghost arm holding it. Ichigo and Tia were amazed by its sheer size and noticed that Komamura stood behind it. Half of his mask was gone, revealing a fox like face. He was breathing in deep breaths almost like he had spent a majority of his energy just blocking Ichigo's attack. Komamura stood straight and moved his zanpakuto which in turn the massive blade moved along with his movements. Ichigo and Tia stared him down and figured out how his zanpakuto must work now.

"It seems I greatly underestimated you, child." He said as he raised his blade into the air and gathered his crimson spirit energy. "A mistake I won't make a second time! Bankai, Kokujo Tengen Myo-oh!"

His spirit energy gathered and created the rest of the ghost arm that was in the air. It became its own entity entirely, becoming a black armored clad warrior with a horned helmet. Its face was covered by a red cloth and it had piercing yellow eyes. Ichigo and Tia were once again amazed at what Komamura's zanpakuto could do.

"Behold young one," Komamura started. "This is the second and final form of a soul reapers zanpakuto. Bankai." He raised his sword to them and the giant did the same motion. He then lowered his blade and the giant lowered its blade right at them. "It is time to surrender child."

Ichigo smirked and drew his short sword. "If that's what your Bankai is, then I guess this will be a little interesting." He brought his swords together and chanted. "Take life and own it as your own, give life and watch it flourish, destroy life and watch it tremble, Hofuku Tsuki!"

Just like before, the orange and blue energy engulfed his body and the pressure started up once again. This time though, it was heavily focused just on the street they were on. Komamura felt this intense pressure was making sure that neither of them could see his knees shaking from the weight. Surprisingly enough for Tia, she didn't feel the pressure this time.

Ichigo emerged with his single blade and Tia once again marveled at his power. This time, she would get to see just what Ichigo could do with his shikai.

"Impressive." Komamura started as he raised his blade into the air. "But you won't be able to defeat my Bankai with your shikai." He brought his arm down and the giant did the same.

It collided with what Komamura thought was the ground, assuming the two had leapt out of harms way. When the dust settled though, his jaw nearly hit the floor. Ichigo hadn't moved at all, instead, he blocked the blade with his own and was standing there, barely straining.

"Impossible!" Komamura shouted out.

Tia had to squat down since Ichigo was short and she was absolutely amazed at just what he did.

Ichigo didn't look her way, but he did say to her in a very serious tone. "Tia, do yourself a favor, stay out of this."

Tia understood the message clearly, 'get involved, and you will die.'

She moved out of the way and sonidoed to a safe distance off the street. When she was out of harms way, Ichigo looked at Komamura. "Now that I don't have to worry about my friend, I get to show you just what I can do."

Ichigo lifted his blade and swung it upwards, causing the giants sword to fly off of him. Komamura did the same and was staring him down with confusion. He quickly stopped that though when Ichigo disappeared from his sight only to appear right above him. Ichigo brought his blade down and Komamura was forced to block the flurry of attacks the boy brought. He may have been blocking, but he was still finding himself getting several cuts across his body. Having enough of the child's attacks, Komamura started going on the offensive. He swung his sword but hit nothing but air. He suddenly felt a gash going across his back and he staggered. Instinctively, Komamura turned and stabbed his blade into the ground, causing the giant to do the same. Ichigo was caught off guard by this and Komamura used his free hand to grab him by the neck and raise him into the air. He slammed Ichigo down and held his blade to the child's neck, or so he thought. When the small dust settled, he realized he had nothing in his hand but air. The next thing he heard was a buzz behind him and one word coming from the boys mouth.

"Ekisu."

Ichigo brought his sword down and a blue energy came out of it. The energy slammed into the captain and all it did was hit him like it was nothing. He stood up and backed away from the boy for a second, not feeling anything from Ichigo's attack.

"It seems I gave you too much credit." Komamura started as he raised his zanpakuto. Then it hit him.

His blade was gone.

He looked back up to see his Bankai was gone as well. He looked at the boy and noticed that he had Komamura's zanpakuto in his left hand now.

"What did you-" Komamura suddenly fell to his knee and was fading fast.

"My shikai allows me to change the amount of reiatsu in a soul and convert it to anything else if I choose so." He looked over to Tia. "My Kaizen Shimasu improves upon a soul to anything I choose, but," he looked back to the fading captain. "My Ekisu extracts that reiatsu and can make it to where the soul barely has any. I've tried this move on souls and hollows before, but this is a first." Ichigo looked at Komamura's zanpakuto in his hand. "I've never tried it on a soul reaper before. Now I know what it does to you guys, and that'll make saving my family a lot easier now."

Ichigo walked up to Komamura and stopped in front of him. Komamura held his head down and sighed heavily. "Just make it quick, child."

"My name, is Ichigo Kurosaki." Ichigo raised Komamura's zanpakuto and then stabbed it into the ground. Komamura looked at the blade and then slowly back up with the remainder of his strength. "And I won't kill any of you. I could, but I won't."

Komamura finally fell and was passed out. Ichigo sighed and resealed his blade. He sheathed them and walked over to Tia.

"Ready?" He asked her.

"Yes." She replied, pleased that she was able to see Ichigo's amazing power.

They started running down another street and were making they're way to the Senzaikyu until they felt multiple spirit energies headed their way. Tia was ready for another fight, but Ichigo stopped her.

"Suppress your energy and follow me." He said with a grin. "I've got an idea."

She nodded and did as he asked. They jumped up to a building and hid from them instead of fighting the group that came by. Among the group were two captains and three lieutenants. One of the captains was a woman with long ebony hair that was tied into a large braid that went down her front. The other captain was a man with dark hair with some kind of hair attachment to it and he wore a scarf. The lieutenants were pretty distinctive. One of them had red hair that made him look like a pineapple. The other two were girls. One was the tallest out of everyone and had a silvery blue hair color. The other girl was the shortest and stood close to the male captain. She had short dark hair and didn't really look intimidating whatsoever.

They headed to where Komamura, Iba and Ikkaku lay on the ground.

"Captain?" The tall one started in a low and confused tone.

"I know Isane." The woman started. "This is very bad. If whoever did this was able to easily take out two lieutenants and a captain-" she was cut off by the stoic man.

"Captain Unohana, lets not forget why we're here." He said to her.

"I know captain Kuchiki. You three guard us while we tend to the injured here." Unohana wasn't just referring to the three unconscious men there, but everyone else that Ichigo knocked out with his crushing pressure.

Byakuya nodded and looked at the other two. "Renji, Rukia keep your guard steady." He looked around at the rooftops. "I have a feeling that we are not alone here."

Almost as if on cue, Ichigo released a tiny bit of reiatsu to get their attention. They felt the familiar pressure and got ready for a fight, even Unohana and Isane were ready. That's when they saw a head of long orange hair standing on the edge of the roof. Renji and Rukia jumped up first, prepared to take on whoever this mysteriously powerful intruder was. When they landed on the roof and turned around to face their foe, they stopped in confusion when they saw a child and a woman sitting down and not paying them any attention. Rukia and Renji relaxed for a second until the woman turned to them and they saw the hollow fragment.

"So," Renji started. "It was damn hollow that took out captain Komamura, his lieutenant and Ikkaku. Should've figured. Roar, Zabimaru!" Renji's zanpakuto changed to a bigger blade with six retractable ends to it.

"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!" Rukia shouted. Her zanpakuto changed into a beautiful white blade that looked like something made of ice.

"Tell me hollow." Rukia started. "Why are you here? How do you look like that, and how is your spirit energy so high that entire Seireitei felt it?"

Tia rolled her eyes. She knew she was strong, but she also knew that she was nowhere close to Ichigo's power. She looked over at Ichigo who had a very big grin on his face and she sighed in defeat.

"I'm very much not surprised that you were right." She started, confusing the two soul reapers.

Ichigo stood up and the two actually saw his zanpakuto, both of them. They gasped, the only two to have duel zanpakuto were captains Ukitake and Kyoraku. They watched as he walked up to them causally. They were letting their guard down because despite having those two zanpakuto, he was still a kid. When Ichigo was right in front of them he smiled.

"To answer your questions." He started to Renji who looked confused, same with Rukia. "One, I'm here to save my family, and I remember you two helping to take them away." The two gasped at the boys knowledge and took a step back. "Two, she looks like that because I made her look like that with my shikai." The two looked at her with shock in their eyes. Tia shrugged and motioned to her body. " And lastly," Ichigo started again while getting their attention with a portion of his spirit energy. "She's not the one that caused everyone to pass out. I am."

The pressure was heavy for the two and they fell to their knees because they were so close to him. It was impossible for them to move at all. Ichigo knelt down to them and smiled again, causing the two to sweat at what he might do.

"I'm not gonna kill ya." He started. "I want you two and the captain I beat to delver a message to everyone else. I'm coming for my family, and when I get to them, you all better pray they tell me to show mercy. Cuz when I get them, I'm gonna tear this place apart, piece by piece, and all any of you will be able to do is watch."

He stood back up and lightened his reiatsu so the two could stagger to their feet. They were surprisingly still in their shikai forms but could barely hold their zanpakuto, let alone stand properly. Tia walked up to Ichigo and he looked back to her and smiled. He moved his head to let her know that it was time to leave.

"If it's a message that you wish to deliver." A familiar voice stopped them as they turned towards it. "Then I shall take you back to head captain so you can deliver it personally." It was Byakuya Kuchiki. He stood there on the edge of the building with his zanpakuto already drawn. Isane and Unohana flash stepped onto the roof and went to Renji and Rukia who were now back on their knees and breathing erratically.

"Naw." Ichigo started as he gently grabbed Tia's hand and held it tightly. "I think I'll just let them relay that message when they wake up at least. And I'll see you later, captain Byakuya Kuchiki."

Byakuya never introduced himself. How did this boy instantly know who he was?

Before Byakuya could even ask, the boy along with the hollow were gone. Byakuya was stunned. The boy was fast, very fast, too fast for Byakuya to even see or catch. He sheathed his blade and went to his sister and lieutenant, who were now on the ground unconscious.

"Are they going to be alright Unohana?" He asked, a hint of concern in his usually stoic voice.

"They'll be fine, Byakuya. They just need to rest, that's all." Unohana said in a sweet yet tired voice. Ever since that crushing pressure, she's been everywhere, making sure that people were okay or not.

"Then we need to assemble a captains meeting right now to let the others know of our intruders." Byakuya started.

"Hmm." Unohana started as she placed her hand under her chin.

"What is it captain?" Isane asked.

"Oh no Isane, I was just thinking." She answered with a smile. "I wonder how many of the captains would laugh at the thought of a child breaking through our ranks just to save three fugitives?" She finished and started to giggle under her breath. She stopped for a second and had very dangerous and killer look that made both Byakuya and Isane sweat. "I very much look forward to facing him myself."
