Episode 37: Rematch
Kenpachi knelt down, and he lifted Asuma up off the ground.
"What are you doing?" Asked Shikamaru.
"We're going to go back to the Leaf Village. Then we're going to get back up from the Steel Village." Kenpachi turned. "Orange hair, you carry Rinji."
"Which one is Rinji...?" Choji wiped his face.
Kenpachi gave a light kick into Rinji's arm. Rinji groaned a bit.
Machiko teleported down to them.
Kenpachi glared at her. "Woman, you carry Tatsuzo."
"But-"
Kenpachi got right up close to her face. "I don't even want to hear anything from you. This is your fault."
Machiko looked down, and her face turned really red.
"Calm down..." Said Shikamaru. "It's no one's fault."
Kenpachi turned to Shikamaru. His normally hostile eyes were now calm. He said nothing.
The group walked to the Leaf, and then Kenpachi nodded to them. "I'll be back soon. I'm going to leave them here."
Kenpachi then sprinted across the land until he got to the Metal Village.
"SQUAD ELEVEN!" Kenpachi roared. "GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE!"
Yachiru then appeared next to Kenpachi.
"Hey, Kenny!"
"Yachiru, go get Ikkaku and Yumichika."
"OKAY!" She gave him an over the top solute, and then teleported away.
A minute ago Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Yachiru got there.
"Let's go." Kenpachi looked over at them. "Yachiru, hold on."
Yachiru jumped up, and hung around his neck. Kenpachi then grabbed Ikkaku and Yumichika by the throat, and then sprinted back to the Leaf.
After about twenty minutes, so he made it back to the Leaf.
They were burrying Asuma.
"Who the hell died?" Ikkaku asked.
Kenpachi elbowed him in the gut. "Shut your damn mouth."
"Ah, sorry..." Ikkaku said.
Yumichika then puked on the ground.
Kenpachi took a step away from him. "Disgusting."
Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino walked up to him. They had a grey haired man with a sideways headband, that covered his left eye. He had a mask covering his mouth and nose.
"This is my Squad." Kenpachi said. "Ikkaku." Ikkaku nodded. "Yumichika." Yumichika gave a weak wave. "Yachiru." Yachiru jumped up onto his head.
"HI!" She yelled.
"And I'm Kenpachi."
"I am Kakashi Hatake. The one who you just went with you last time was Asuma Sarutobi. The girl is Ino. The one with black hair is Shikamaru, and the other guy is Choji."
"Are the rest of my allies from the Steel coming?"
"Yes." Kakashi said. "We'll leave tomorrow."
"There's no point in leaving for the Steel now. We're staying the night."
Kakashi nodded. "I'll show you to the hotels."
The next day, the group set out.
"Let's kick some ass." Grinned Kenpachi. "This time, I'm taking the guy with the mask."
Kakashi looked at him.
"Not you." The group then darted forwards, going by Machiko's directions.
After a while they finally found them. But they didn't attack them straight away.
"Squad Eleven." Kenpachi said. "You must attack that guy..." He pointed to the guy that fought Tatsuzo.
"Ino-Shika-Cho, you'll face the one who attacked Asuma from behind. Tatsuzo, you go with him. Rinji and I will face Hidan."
Kenpachi then charged forwards and he slashed at Kakuzu, who blocked the attack with his forearm. Kakuzu threw him backwards, and punched at him.
Kenpachi slashed his fist.
Ikkaku, Yumichika, and Yachiru stood face to face with Shikyo.
"I can handle this guy alone..." Ikkaku grinned.
"Sensei said that all of us had to fight him." Yumichika said.
"I don't give a damn what he said. You can fight him when I'm dead!" Ikkaku's grin broadened.
Yachiru then jumped on Ikkaku's shoulders, and started punching in the back of the head. "You do what Kenny says, when Kenny says it! 'Kay?"
"Ah! Stop, Yachiru!" Ikkaku groaned. "Fine! You can help me but stay out of my way!"
Yachiru jumped down.
"Are you idiots done?" Asked their opponent. Shikyo groaned. "I'd prefer to fight people that aren't a waste of my time. But I guess if all three of you attack me at once you might be able to take me down."
Tatsuzo, Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino surrounded the man who attacked Asuma.
"My name is Yosuke. Could you please tell me the name of the man that I killed and what relationship you have with him?"
That surprised them. "His name was Asuma Sarutobi! He was our sensei!" Growled Shikamaru.
Yosuke's eyes dropped. "I'm sorry. I truly am for what it's worth."
"I don't wanna hear it!" Shikamaru made a hand sign.
Rinji jumped at Hidan, who slashed at him. Rinji flipped over him, and then Kakashi hit him in the chest with a Lightning Blade.
Kenpachi charged Kakuzu, his blade straight towards him.
Kakuzu batted the blade away with the back of his hand, and then punched Kenpachi in the face and sent him flying.
Kenpachi grinned, and he tightened his grip on his sword. He then charged at Kakuzu again.
"You don't learn, do you?" Growled Kakuzu.
Kenpachi grinned.
Kakuzu went to punch him, but Kenpachi dodged to the side and then slashed Kakuzu right across the chest.
Kenpachi then jumped backwards.
Kakuzu gripped his chest where Kenpachi slashed him. "Damn you." He growled.
Ikkaku swung his sheath at Shikyo. Shikyo caught it. Ikkaku then slashed down at him, but Shikyo caught his wrist.
Yumichika drew his sword, and he charged at Shikyo, who just swung Ikkaku around so he'd take the hit if he didn't slow down.
Yumichika stopped, so he wouldn't impale his friend.
Ikkaku then headbutted him, forcing Shikyo to let go.
Ikkaku charged at him again, swinging his sheath around so it'd hit him in the side.
Shikyo blocked it, and then Ikkaku slashed at him from the side.
Shikyo kicked Ikkaku in the face and then knocked him backwards. He then punched Yumichika across the face.
Yachiru then jumped on Shikyo's shoulders, and started choking him with her sword. She started laughing, while he flailed around trying to get her off. She continued to laugh until he grabbed her arms and flung her into the ground.
Ikkaku then spun his sheath around, and he slammed it into the end of his sword. "Extend. Hozukimaru."
"Bloom for me, Fuji Kujaku."
Ikkaku's Hozukimaru turned into a spear. Yumichika's Fuji Kujaku turned into that strange multiple bladed weapon he had.
Ikkaku charged at him, but he dodged his attack, and then punched him in the back of the head. He then spun around and slapped Yumichika in the face and knocked him over.
"Not a single one of you actually managed to cut me."
Yachiru then slashed him across the ankle. It was a very shallow cut, but it was still there. She stood up, but then he kicked her in the face and sent her flying.
Ikkaku got back up. "Split apart. Hozukimaru." He started spinning the three segments of Hozukimaru around trying to catch his foe off guard. Shikyo punched Ikkaku in the chest, and then he kicked Yumichika in the face. He jumped backwards, and then he charged Ikkaku, who stabbed at him. He dodged to the side, and then he karate chopped down the side of Hozukimaru, and it cracked. It cracked and then broke into two different pieces.
Kakashi yanked his arm from Hidan's chest, and then jumped backwards to dodge his scythe.
Rinji drew two kunai, and stabbed him in the back right in the shoulder blades.
Hidan roared, and then spun around to slash him. Rinji blocked it with his forearm. Hidan's scythe got him right in the shoulder, and then Hidan yanked his scythe from his shoulder. He grinned, and then he licked Rinji's blood off of it. Hidan's skin turned black and white.
Rinji then punched Hidan in the face, and broke his nose. Blood ran from both of their noses, and then Hidan stabbed himself in the leg. Blood splattered from Rinji's leg as well.
Rinji grabbed Hidan by the throat, and then smashed him into the ground, right into the circle. Rinji then smashed his foot into Hidan's head.
What's going on? Kakashi thought. Now Rinji's tearing him apart... Does he go crazy when he gets blood drawn?
Tatsuzo punched at Yosuke, who ducked, and jumped backwards.
"Tatsuzo-sensei." Shikamaru called. "We can handle this. Just take a step backwards and you can interfere if one of us gets hurt."
Tatsuzo nodded, and he teleported behind them.
Is this my punishment? Thought Yosuke. Is this my punishment for joining this organization?
Shadows shot towards Yosuke, who jumped up into the air, and dodged it.
Choji turned into a boulder, and he charged him. Yosuke did a front flip over him, and landed on the ground. Ino slashed at him with a kunai, but he ducked, and then jumped backwards.
Yosuke then did a back flip and he dodged another shadow from Shikamaru.
Notes: Yes, I know Kenpachi is kind of out of character in this episode. I was trying to keep him as in character as I possibly could without him seeming like a jerk about Asuma's death.
