Byakuya stood there among the piles of rubble that had build up everywhere. He held his zanpakuto tightly in his hand. H. Ichigo grinned as he wiped the rubble and dust off of his clothes. As he dusted off his shoulders, Byakuya disappeared. It nearly caught H. Ichigo off guard before he was able to regain himself and block the initial attack.
"That was underhanded." H. Ichigo said. The grin never left his face.
"Be quiet, trash." Byakuya simply said. He jumped back a few feet before they continued their battle. Byakuya stayed on the offense while H. Ichigo blocked all of his attacks. Suddenly they stopped and created some space between them. Just then some blood began to trickle down Byakuya's free arm. H. Ichigo began to laugh. Then he stopped when he felt the cheek that did not have the mask on it began to produce blood.
H. Ichigo put his hand on it and then stared at the crimson red liquid that he rubbed on his fingertips. His grin instantly vanished as he focused his eyes directly into Byakuya's. A surge of Reiatsu came out of H. Ichigo. It grew greater and greater. Everything surrounding him except for the shinigamis turned into dust. The whole section of Seireitei turned into nothing but a barren battleground.
Rukia fell backwards at the huge amount of Reiatsu produced by H. Ichigo.
"Dark Bankai." H. Ichigo yelled. His words echoed in the air as dark purple and black bolts of lightning flew from his sword. Loud thunder rumbled throughout the area. When everything started to settle down, H. Ichigo stood there with a full hollow mask on. His clothes turned completely black. His Zanpakuto's blade turned into a black fire that roared like a lion. H. Ichigo's face did not change though. He still had that grave look on his face as he stood there.
"Bankai." Byakuya called out. Suddenly H. Ichigo and Byakuya were surrounded by thousands and thousands of swords. Just then H. Ichigo charged at Byakuya. He never moved as H. Ichigo jumped into the air and lifted his sword high above his head. Out of nowhere a sword flew and struck H. Ichigo in the side. He fell backwards as he pulled the sword out of his side. Blood shot out onto the ground.
"You're careless." Byakuya simply stated. H. Ichigo laid there on the ground and began to chuckle. He slowly rose to his feet. His grin was apparent on his face again. Just then he disappeared, and before Byakuya could react, H. Ichigo had attacked him with his Zanpakuto. Byakuya's eyes widened as blood quickly stained his clothes. His outer clothing caught on fire. He quickly put it out before it burned his skin. Then Byakuya fell to the ground. The swords circling them disappeared.
A pool of blood formed around Byakuya's lifeless body. Rukia, shocked when she saw him, quickly ran to his side. She quickly began to heal him as H. Ichigo stood there watching. He had a grin like no other on his face.
"It's pointless to heal him." He said. "I'm just going to kill him and you anyways." Rukia ignored his comments as she continued to heal him. He started to make his way over to them as his Zanpakuto roared even louder. He stood right behind Rukia who quickly turned around to face him. H. Ichigo lifted his sword above his head, looking down at Rukia with a sadistic look in his eyes. His sword began to make its decent. Rukia's eyes widened with fear. Suddenly Isshin's body flung over Rukia's and took the full impact of the hit.
His lifeless body sat crouched above Rukia as she was stunned to see him. He fell over next to Byakuya. His back was completely burned as a surge of pain completely filled his body. H. Ichigo began to laugh as Rukia jumped over to Isshin's side. She quickly rid his clothes of the fire that started.
"Enough." A voice shouted. H. Ichigo turned around and there stood someone Rukia never expected to see. Rukia looked shocked.
"It can't be…" She looked over at H. Ichigo and the man standing there, then back again.
"Well," H. Ichigo said. "It seems that you found me. How, may I ask?" He turned to face the man as he stood there. H. Ichigo laughed as the man looked at the hole in the ground to see Urahara sitting there tending to his wounds. Then he looked over at Rukia and gave her a weak smile. His face grew serious when he looked over and say his father lying there unconscious.
"It wasn't hard. I sensed your Reiatsu and knew where to find you." Rukia rose to her feet and slowly walked over to him. She could not believe who it was that stood in front of her. She reached out and placed her hand on his cheek.
'It is him.' She thought to herself. 'But how?'
"I'm sorry I ran off like that." He said grabbing her hand and kissing it. "I won't do it again." Rukia placed her hand on his cheek once again, but this time she pinched and pulled it.
"DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!!! YOU HAD ME WORRIED ABOUT YOU!!!" She yelled at him. Ichigo quickly swatted her hand and tended to his sore cheek.
"What was that for!?" He yelled back as she started to beat him up. They started to argue back and forth before H. Ichigo interrupted them by sending a whip of energy towards them.
"In case you guys don't remember, I am still here." H. Ichigo said. Ichigo led Rukia behind him as he drew his sword. H. Ichigo stood there holding his flaming sword as Ichigo's sword began to unravel the cloth around it. Then he held the sword in front of him yelling, "Bankai!"
