Ichigo
Be ready, Ichigo.
'Because if you're not'
You're gonna die! Shiro and Zangetsu roared as they both charged towards me with their weapons drawn.
My eyes opened wide in surprise as I ducked under Shiro's swing only for Shiro to suddenly leap backwards as several arrows flew towards me. I managed to flash-step away just in time only for Shiro to appear above me with his version of Zangetsu held high overhead.
'Got ya!' He taunted as I rolled away while green-light sparked at my feet.
Zangetsu
'Bringer Light?' I questioned as I saw the spark of green light at my wielder's feet.
'Interesting, it seems he's instinctively trying to merge Hirenyaku, Flash-step, and Bringer Light all into one technique to make it easier to move around' I noted as I saw the spark of green light once more as he appeared a few feet away from the hollow's blade. I lifted my bow and fired several more arrows when the sharp static sound of Sonido reached my ears. My eyes widened as he appeared in front of me with his left eye hollowfied and his right glowing an icy blue.
Ichigo
'Damn it! Zangetsu's taking care of me retaliating while Shiro's keeping me on the defensive! I gotta move faster!' I growled inwardly when before I knew it I had appeared in front of Zangetsu. His eyes widened as I took advantage of the situation and went for a right hook. My fist slammed into his face and sent him flying off the skyscraper we were currently standing on and through two others. I rolled out of the way of Shiro's blade as it shattered the skyscraper I was on. I floated above the wreckage and drew my sword as I got an idea.
I stood still with my eyes closed as I held the sword like an arrow while I focused. The static boom of Sonido rang through my ears as I spun around with my reishi bow formed and my sword held like an arrow. His eyes widened as I flipped over his horizontal slash and floated upside down with my sword held like an arrow in my reishi bow.
'Oh sh-' He began before I fired and Zangetsu stabbed directly through his chest. The momentum carried him and the blade backward until it stabbed into a skyscraper; holding him in place as he coughed up blood on the sword.
'Damn King….No mercy, huh. Guess you pass my test but, let's see if you can survive through Zangetsu's' Shiro said as he slowly faded away.
I roared in pain as suddenly an arrow pierced my shoulder.
'Damn it! I wasn't paying attention' I cursed as I spun around to find a barrage of arrows flying towards me.
I quickly flash-stepped over to where my sword was stabbed into the skyscraper, barely avoiding the attack. I landed with my feet on the wall; my body parallel to the ground far below where I floated. I quickly grabbed the hilt of the sword and wrenched it free of the wall before getting in Bankai stance.
'I'm gonna have to move quickly if I want to defeat him' I thought as I raised my reiatsu.
"BANKAI!" I roared as my black-and-red reiatsu flooded the area and I entered my Bankai form.
I tensed as did Zangetsu before we both became a blur of motion; moving faster than the eye could see. I ducked under an arrow and dashed forward; flashing from side-to-side away from arrow after arrow until I flashed directly into the path of one that he had fired right as I moved.
'Shit! No escape from this one; I don't have enough time' I cursed inwardly as I panicked. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head as my fight with Byakuya ran through my head. I quickly spun Tensa Zangetsu at the last second; cutting through the reishi arrow like butter. Zangetsu's eyes widened in shock as the arrow harmlessly flew over my shoulder and I flew towards him even faster.
"Getsuga…TENSHO!" I roared as the moon-fang cut through the air and slammed into Zangetsu; the force of the attack sending him spiraling through the skyscraper behind him.
I waited, my muscles tensed and ready for any incoming attack until the dust had cleared and I saw Zangetsu standing in the wreckage of the skyscraper.
Well done, Ichigo. You've passed our test and now you will learn some of the hollow's moves. Zangetsu said as he slowly faded away leaving Shiro in his place.
'Alright, King. Let's get started!' Shiro said as he sealed away all of my reiatsu except for the darker, more hollow-like portion.
I felt my mask begin to form on my face as the indescribable sensation of my eye color changing to that of a hollow's ran through my system.
'Listen King, hollows don't really think about these moves. It's ALL about instinct. You have to FEEL them in your very core; as if they're a part of you. If you think too much, they'll implode on you and backfire. So don't think; I'll explain how they work and from there I want you to use your senses to feel the attack and try to replicate it yourself' Shiro said.
I nodded in response as he grinned and turned towards the skyscraper in front of us. He held his hand out; open palm as if he was grabbing a sphere or something and I felt his reiatsu begin to focus in the palm of his hand as a small, blood-red sphere began to take shape and grow in size.
'Cero!' Shiro roared as he fired off the doom blast; it blasted forward in a thin, erratic line similar to red lightning and exploded with deadly force as soon as it made contact with the building.
I stood and was about to do the same when I my inner world shook violently.
'Looks like the pink-haired bitch is back, King; time to go. Oh, and make sure to practice in your body too otherwise, it'll be pointless' Shiro said as the world faded to black and I opened my eyes to see a pissed off looking Louise glaring at me.
"Come on, baka-inu; the queen is coming and I need you to be presentable and ready to perform" she said as she grabbed me by the color and dragged me to her room.
I sighed 'Fuck it, if she's making me perform it might be a good time to try that Cero move Shiro taught me…..in fact, maybe I can try Bala too.'
A few Hours later….
"Next up is…..Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière and her familiar, Ichigo Kurosaki!" an announcer called out, his voice magically amplified.
We walked onto stage with Louise in her usual attire and me in a suit with the back of my hair in a ponytail tied with a black ribbon for some reason. Immediately, I heard more than half of the female population scream like fangirls as they stared at me.
"Now I know what the suit was for" I muttered under my breath as I took a deep breath and calmed myself.
'Well, time to get this over with' I thought as I opened my eyes and replaced my usual scowl with a small smile that only made the already deafening screams worse than before.
Saito POV
I sat next to my new 'master' Henrietta who turned out to be no less than the QUEEN of this strange world. Thankfully, she was pretty nice to me and loved to talk to me about her problems and other things. Considering we were practically strangers and that she has virtually no obligation to take care of me; I was grateful for her kindness and was glad to do anything she asked. Currently, we were sitting in Tristain Magic Academy and watching the show they had put on.
As soon as she heard the name Louise she seemed to light up with joy, I smiled lightly before the deafening screams of fangirls reached my ears.
"Wow, Louise's familiar is so tall" Henrietta said as she squinted to get a better look at him.
"It seems that this Ichigo person is quite the popular one around here; even with the Queen" I laughed as she blushed and pouted slightly.
Ichigo POV
I groaned and pulled out the wooden blade Louise had given me and a bag of leaves. She opened the bag and threw them into the air as I held the blade up as if I were about to start a duel. I closed my eyes and visualized the falling leaves and how I would cut each one as Louise got the ballroom dance music started.
'Now!' I roared inwardly as my eyes shot open and my blade became nothing but a blur as I shifted my feet round and round on the floor, creating a torrent of dancing leaves that followed the rhythm I with my blade. One after another the leaves were split, and the halves were split once more after that until there was a multitude of leaves spinning in the air; similar to Byakuya's Bankai, Senbonsakura Kageyoshi. After, I was satisfied with the amount on the floor I simply dropped the blade and continued my solitary waltz.
As the music drew to a close, I stopped in the middle of the floor with my head hung low and my arms out as if I was pinned on a cross except my hands were in the same position as Shiro's when he showed me the cero. I gathered a small amount of my reiatsu into my palms as electric blue reiatsu crackled across my palms like lightning. Suddenly, I shot my head and arms up into the sky as I fired off two lightning-like ceros that raced off into the cloudless sky, spinning around and around each other as if they too were in a dance.
They eventually collided and exploded in a way similar to fireworks and everyone watched in silent awe as the remnants of my reiatsu seemed to glitter as it floated gently down.
Saito POV
"That was incredible!" Henrietta practically screamed in awe and excitement and she leapt to her feet and burst into clapping with everyone soon followed, including me.
'It was amazing, that I can't deny but for some odd reason it just…..feels off. I don't quite understand it but, the vibe I got off that last move wasn't something friendly…not in the slightest. Ichigo Kurosaki, huh; I'll be sure to keep any eye on you' I thought as I clapped along with her and chuckled at her antics.
Well, yes; I realize short ass chapter for being gone so damn long but…oh well, can't do anything about it now. As I said earlier school kicked in so I have practically no time to myself due to this new mandate about needing 120 community service hours to graduate; Gey =-=
ANYWAYS, Hope you liked the chapter and that you found it interesting if so; hit that little review button there at the bottom and tell me what you think and such. See y'all around and take care!
