Episode 62: Ikkaku versus Koji

Ikkaku and Koji's blades collided. Ikkaku slashed at him with his other blade, but Koji blocked it with his forearm- making blood splatter on the ground.

The dragon was nearly lit now.

I started the battle in Banaki. So after Hozukimaru awakens, I'll have no other aces in the hole. Ikkaku thought.

He threw his massive weapon up into the air grabbed it by the back handle.

Koji teleported behind him, and slashed him across the back.

Ikkaku began spinning the blade around from the back handle, it cut Koji across the shoulder before he teleported out of the way.

The dragon had just a little bit left.

Koji jumped backwards. With that weapon, he's much stronger and has way more range than I do with this puny sword. He thought. So if he gets any stronger... I'll need to use that technique- though it takes way too much chakra...

"You're way better than your standard sensory type ninja..." Ikkaku pointed out. "I would have preferred to fight in my sealed form, then Shikai, and then maybe Bankai. But your friends pissed me off, and I couldn't resist."

Ikkaku slashed at him, and he blocked it. Ikkaku slashed at him with his other blade.

Even though I saw it coming, I still had no time to defend myself against the attack. Koji thought as he jumped backwards. Dodging and blocking won't work all day. I'm going to need to kill him fast.

Koji charged at his foe, who slashed at him. Koji did a front flip over Ikkaku, and slashed him across the back.

The dragon lit all the way up.

Ikkaku grinned, savagely. "He's finally awake!" Ikkaku roared, flying into Koji, who jumped backwards, and blocked it. Ikkaku continued to walk forwards, slashing at Koji, and he continued to block each of Ikkaku's slashes, but with some difficultly.

His slashes became less powerful, but a hellova lot faster. Koji thought. Koji then jumped up in the air to avoid another slash, and he landed on the ground behind Ikkaku, and he dropped his sword. He then began to make lightning fast hand signs. Ikkaku spun around, slashing at him- but Koji jumped backwards, continuing to make hand signs.

He bit into his thumb, and he smacked his hand onto the ground. Smoke filled the area, and once it cleared there stood a giant man with an silver axe with a wooden leaned up on his shoulder. He had dirty red hair and a long unkempt beard, and he was wearing a torn up green T-shirt, and he had a pair of brown shorts on. He was not wearing shoes, showing his disgusting feet.

Ikkaku's eyes widened in surprise. He took a step backwards.

"Afraid, Madarame? You should be."

Ikkaku smiled. "This is gonna be fun!" Chakra gathered at his feet, and he slashed at the giant, who slashed down at him with his axe.

Ikkaku pushed chakra back from the tip of his blade, and sent himself flying backwards. The giant smacked down at him, but Ikkaku teleported backwards.

The giant roared, and slashed down at him with his axe. He blocked the axe slash with the back blade, and then he slashed the giant's wrist.

It roared, yanked it's axe backwards. He took a step backwards.

"You actually wounded Kami. Good job... but it won't happen again." Koji taunted.

"Oh yeah?" Ikkaku set his back blade down back on his back, and he grabbed his side blade. He charged Kami, who slashed down at him with his axe.

Kami roared loudly, as his axe hit Ikkaku's back blade. Ikkaku grinned, and slashed Kami's wrist again, spending blood flying everywhere.


Yumichika heard the roaring of Kami, so he started running towards where the battle was taking place.

Ikkaku, you better not get killed! He thought.


Akagi was escorting Machiko out of the room, and then saw Tatsuzo and Rinji running.

Rinji stopped, whereas Tatsuzo kept running.

"Rinji, can you please take Machiko to somewhere safe? I need to go to the battle." Akagi said.

Rinji nodded. "Come on, Machiko. I'll get you somewhere safe."

"Thanks, Rinji." Akagi then ran towards the battle.


Ikkaku slashed Kami's ankles, and Kami took a step backwards. He roared again, and then he swatted sideways at Ikkaku, smacking him into a building. He then stomped down on him.

He roared in pain and fell on his back, smashing several buildings.

Ikkaku, breathing heavy and bleeding everywhere, was holding out one of his blades.

Koji stumbled towards Ikkaku, his lack of chakra making it hard to move. He grabbed the sword off the ground and slashed down at him. Something stopped him, and Koji turned to see Yumichika with his sword drawn.

"What the hell are you doing, Yumichika?" Ikkaku growled, still unable to move.

"Ikkaku, it's two against one. Allow me to help you."

"No."

"Shut up, Ikkaku." Said Akagi. "We're here to help. He's the size of fifty of people, so we're going to help you."

"I'll take Yumichika's help. But you can go die, Akagi..."

Akagi grabbed Koji by the shoulder, and threw him backwards. Kami tried to get up.

Akagi knelt next to Ikkaku, and made a hand sign. Green energy glowed around her hand, and then his wounds started to heal.

Yumichika pointed his sword at the giant. "I would tell you not to tell anyone... but I already explained it to anyone who matters." His eyes glows for a second. "Bloom, Ruri'iro Kujaku." His blade transformed, and then the strange vines flew towards Kami, who was still struggling to stand up.

The vines wrapped around Kami's ankles and wrists.

"His chakra is insane." Yumichika said. "It's so vast that I can't take all of it. Not even a tenth of it."

"Then we'll just have to kill him with normal means..." Ikkaku stood up, being healed enough to move now.

Yumichika flicked his sword to the side and turned it back into his sealed form. "Bloom, Fuji Kujaku." His sword then curved and separated into multiple blades.

Ikkaku gripped his blades, and Akagi drew her sword.

Kami was nearly on his feet now, using the sides of the building to help himself up.

Ikkaku flew into him, spinning his blades around at an insane speed- slamming himself into Kami's chest.

Kami roared, and swatted at him, but Akagi teleported him out the way.

Akagi then ran up Kami's leg using her chakra, and Kami swatted at her. She moved too fast to be seen- running up the side of his leg, up to his hip, over his side, and then up into his neck. He swatted at her again, and Akagi ran up his face, and stabbed him in the nose with her sword.

He groaned from slapping himself in the neck and he roared from getting stabbed by Akagi's sword. Akagi then leapt backwards.

Yumichika ran up the side of the building, and he burst chakra from his feet, and he flew at Kami, slashing his knees.

Kami fell forwards, landing on his face. He tried to stand up, but Ikkaku slashed his neck with both his side blades at the same time.

Koji stepped forwards, finally recovering from getting thrown by Akagi. He walked towards the fighters, and all of them were giving Kami their full attention- so none of them noticed him.

Kami swatted Ikkaku across the room, and put his hand on his neck.

Koji grabbed his new blade, and he stabbed Ikkaku through the lower back.

Ikkaku's eyes widened, and then he fell forwards, landing on the ground. His Bankai blades transformed back into his spear, and then turned back into it's sealed form.

Koji yanked his blade from Ikkaku's chest.

"Ikkaku!" Cried Akagi.

"He'll be fine, he's a resilent fighter. A blow like that won't kill him." Yumichika stated. "But. I am going to kill this man now." He charged at Koji, but Kami swatted at him- still lying on the ground.

Akagi stabbed into Kami's hand, stopping him.

Ikkaku then slashed Koji across the chest. He fell to the ground and Kami disappeared in smoke.

"You better hurry and heal his wound."

Akagi nodded, and began healing him.

"You know... I did not trust you to start with." Yumichika stated. "I sensed a dark energy about you, but I do not sense that energy any longer."

"Perhaps it would have been better to keep him alive an interrogate him?" Asked Akagi.

"Maybe. But he pissed me off."


Tatsuzo finally found Kenpachi, standing on the building of the medic.

He saw Unohana's body lying on the ground.

"Kenpachi did you get possessed?"

Kenpachi's massive blade slipped from his fingers, and it hit the ground. "Unohana got possessed... she... used a Sealing Jutsu on herself... sealing the spirit inside of herself. Her last words as herself was... Kenpachi... kill me..." He looked up at the sky. "UNOHANA!" He roared loudly. He fell on his face.

"Kenpachi!" Tatsuzo shook him. "Wake up!"

No response.

Beginning to freak out, Tatsuzo smashed through the ceiling, smashing into a luckly vacant room- taking Kenpachi with him.

Isane was standing in the door.

"I think he's dead! Heal him!" Tatsuzo ordered.

She quickly took Kenpachi and checked his pulse. "He is still alive." She said.

"Sorry... Unohana... was possessed by an Akatsuki. She battled Kenpachi on the roof..."

Isane looked around. "Medic!" She roared.

Quickly medics flooded into the room, alerted from Tatsuzo smashing through the ceiling.

"Take care of Kenpachi. I must go and check something. Tatsuzo, take me to Unohana."

Tatsuzo wrapped his arm around her waist, and then jumped through his whole in the roof.


Notes: Sorry, but I may not be able to get as many chapters out as I promised, because a lot of stuff came up. It was kind of a stupid idea to try to double production right before school, but I am still going to try.
