Title: Darkness
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or Rosario + Vampire; they belong to Akihisa Ikeda and Tite Kubo. I am doing this for my own amusement and I do not gain any profit by doing this... I do gain some good reviews and satisfaction. I also do not use the lyrics I will be using.

Rating: M
Author Notes: I hope you all enjoyed the first installment of the fight! The clash between fathers is going to continue and it's going to get bloodier. Also, I cannot just simply have Ichigo tearing through Rosario Vampire without anyone being able to fight him. I will have some leveled up a bit (or a lot) to fight with him or on par with him for a while. Also I will be given Moka a power up, I think that has never been done before and I hope you like it
Summary: Everyone he cared about was gone; all wipe out by two men's fear for him. He swore vengeance; not caring if the world itself was plunged into darkness. It didn't matter to him as long as he found those two that took everything away from him. A man appears, inviting him to a school name Yokai Academy as well as information on who he seeks. He takes this deal, and on his search he finds someone from his past. Dark Ichigo!
Hope you enjoy
Onto the Story
Eclipse
"Hurry the hell up you guys!" Gin shouted behind him, glaring at the others. "You are taken to long."
It had only taken a couple of minutes but Tsukune was back to his usual self. He had mange to shake of the images of his death with the help of his friends supporting him. When he came back to his senses, he was hoping to see Moka staring at him with that usual beautiful smile on her face. But sadly that was not what he saw, he was still happy to see the others looking at him in happiness that he was okay but he wanted to see the girl he loved there as well. He had asked the others where Moka was and was sadden to see she race after Ichigo along with Kokoa.
'Why can't you see that he is not right for you Moka-chan?' He thought sadly, thinking about the pink haired girl he had fallen in love with.
His eyes shifted to determination, he would make sure to protect Moka from that bastard. Tsukune could not understand why anyone would want to make a girl like Moka cry. Why would anyone want to do that? Moka didn't bother anyone or cause harm to anyone around her. She was kind and helps anyone in need, so why would this Ichigo want to hurt her like that? Ichigo didn't even deserve to be a man if all he wanted to do is put her down. His thoughts shifted towards Moka's suppose daughter, why when the first time he came here didn't he see her the last time he was here? Was Moka or the others in the large castle hiding her from him?
He was knocked out of his thoughts when a powerful blast of youki blew him and the rest of their feet. The only one that seems to be able to keep standing was Gin; the werewolf had his right hand covering his face and was glaring at the scene from afar. Using his eyesight, he could clearly see Ichigo doing battle with what looked like Moka's father. Both warriors were gritting their teeth and glaring at each other. A second later they vanish from sight, and seconds later flashes of light were seen across the area along with sparks of metal.
'Damn their fast!' He thought, glaring forward to try to catch even a glimpse of them. Even if he transformed, he knew he wouldn't be able to keep up with them. He could also clearly see that it was their true speed at all, he gritted his teeth and his glare hardened. He looked down and clenched his fist, he had to find some way to become stronger then he currently was. He had speed but that was the only thing he had, he needed to find some way to increase his strength.
"Gin!"
The said boy turns around to see Kurumu glaring at him. "What do you want Kurumu?" He asked in annoyance.
"What are you just standing there for?" She asked him, annoyed. "Use your nose to tell us where Moka and Kokoa are?"
"And why do I need to do that?" He asked her sarcastically
Kurumu narrowed her eyes at him, "Hurry up and tell us where they are you perverted wolf!"
Gin glared at her, "You're asking me for a favor and that's the way you talk to me?" He snorted. "Why don't you use the little brain you have and feel what knocked you off your feet."
Kurumu just glared at him before doing what she was told. Feeling the power around her, she felt her eyes widened as she felt the overwhelming youki around her. Looking up towards the eastern direction of the large castle, she could see large clashes of light before explosions. She looked at Gin to see the said boy smirking at her; she sent him a glare before looking at Mizore. The girl had did the same and she could tell she felt it to along with the others. She flared her youki and transformed, he wings, claws, and tail flaring to life around her body.
"I see your finally using what youki detection you have." Gin said
"Shut up you bastard!" Kurumu shouted, growling at the insult to her abilities
"Clam down Kurumu-chan." Tsukune said, "Gin-sempai his only trying to get under your skin."
Kurumu huffed before smiling at him, "You're ready to go Tsukune-kun?"
Mizore suddenly appeared behind her, "Who said Tsukune-kun was traveling with you cow?"
Kurumu glared at her, "Shut up stalker!" She snapped. "I don't see you have a pair of wings?"
"I can carry Tsukune-kun with my magic?" Ruby suggested
"Me too, desu!" Yukari said
An annoyed expressing past over Gin's face as the girls begin arguing over who was going to carry Tsukune. He was seriously wondering how Tsukune could put up with them always arguing with each other over him. Gin couldn't lie, he loved girl and would love them arguing over him like that, but over time that would get annoying with them constantly arguing over him. He looked at Tsukune to see the boy rubbing the back of his head and chuckling nervously. He must be too damn nice for his own good or secretly he mush loved them always fighting over him.
A growl passed through his lips, alerting the others and making them look his way. They watched as he transformed and glare at them, he snorted before turning around and dashing away. The others glared at him before rushing after him, Kurumu quickly picking up Tsukune and lifting them into the air. She smirked and looked down to see Mizore and the others glaring at her, she laughed a bit before rushing after Gin as fast as she could. Mizore and the others just looked o for a couple of seconds before rushing after the two, each planning on beating Kurumu senseless when they catch her.
Eastern area...
Moka continue to watch the battle between her father and ex-lover. Her whole face was covered in worry each time the two would clash swords before vanishing from sight. She had failed to stop it; she had been dreaming of this happen for days now and wished that it didn't come true. But she had failed to stop it; she could even try from the rage that was in Ichigo's eyes as he glared at his father. She wondered if Tsukune and the others wouldn't have come, would she been able to stop this fight from happening? She shook her head before sighing sadly. She knew deep down that this fight was destined to happen between the two, for a long time bad blood have been boiling in each of them.
"How is he able to keep up with father Onee-chan?" Kokoa asked, knocking her sister out of her thoughts. "Nobody especially a half-breed like him should be able to fight on par with father."
Moka glared at her sister, "I wish you would stop calling him that Kokoa." She asked, a bit annoyed at her sisters constant insults.
Kokoa glared back, "Why do you keep protecting him Onee-chan?" She asked, "Since he came back into your life he has done nothing but try to hurt you."
"I don't protect him Kokoa, "Moka said. "I'm just repaying him for all the things he's done for me so long ago."
"Why do you keep saying things in the past?" Kokoa demanded, "Even if he did protect you back then, that doesn't give him the right to treat you that way or us."
"Listen to yourself Kokoa!" Moka snapped, surprising her sister. "I know you remember what we did to him! If anything we deserve more for what we did that day."
"He deserves it!" Kokoa protested
Moka sighed, "I do you think he deserve getting beating by mother and father Kokoa?" She asked, "All he wanted was his daughter and me as well. He never asked for anything else while he was getting beaten by them, and I was a fool to walk away while he was calling out to me."
"He got what he deserved for getting you pregnant!"
Moka glared at her sister in annoyance. "I know you're old enough to understand that it takes two to make a baby Kokoa." She said coldly, "I'm just as much as he is to blame for having a child."
Kokoa stayed silent for a moment, "But he tried to kill you and the rest of us."
Moka sighed sadly, "I know Kokoa but do you not think that we didn't deserve it?" She asked, "I'm not talking about Tsukune and the others but me and you. We did stand there and watched him beaten almost to death."
"What are you trying to say Onee-chan?" Kokoa asked
"What I'm trying to say Kokoa is that you need to thing deeply about the things you say before apologizing to Ichigo for the insults you keep throwing his way."
Kokoa gasped in shock before glaring at her sister. "I will never say sorry to that bastard!"
Moka was about to say something else but another shockwave blocked her from saying anything. She looked towards the battle to see both her father and Ichigo swing at each other, each swing go for the kill. She was becoming even more worried; this fight was becoming more serious by the second as time passed. She had to find some way to stop this fight but she knew that she could not stop the fight in her current state no matter how much she wanted to. She just had to wait until the others came along with Tsukune, they should be able to find the place with all the youki around the area.
Ichigo gritted his teeth and he narrowly avoided a slash to his torso, jumping back he gripped Zangetsu with both hands and thrusted the large blade forward. Issa widen his eyes a fraction and nearly missed blocking Ichigo's thrust to his chest, if he was a minute to late he would have been impaled through. He gritted his teeth and pushed his katana upward, the force sent Zangetsu flying from Ichigo's hands. The vampire lord twisted the katana in his hands before thrusting it towards Ichigo's unguarded chest. The orange haired teen narrowed his eyes before phasing out of view, Issa widen his eyes and glared at missing his target.
'Where the hell are you?' He thought, looking around for his opponent. He suddenly felt a force above him and looked up to see Ichigo reappear and grabbing Zangetsu in both hands. Ichigo roared and came down hard upon Issa who raised his katana just in time to block Ichigo slash that would have cut him in half. Landing on the ground and digging his feet in to the dirt, Ichigo glared at the vampire lord in front of him. Ichigo was very impress to see that the bastard was able to keep up with him, but either way he would make sure he would come out the victory of this fight.
"Very impressive swordsmanship boy," Issa complimented, pushing further on his blade. "You might be the first one other than Akasha who's able to keep up with me in sword play."
Ichigo smirked, "Don't think for a second that this is as far as I can go!" A red aura suddenly covered both him and Zangetsu, "Because I'm just getting started!"
With a furious roar, Ichigo slashed upward with Zangetsu, pushing Issa into the air. The vampire lord glared at Ichigo before flipping himself in midair and gaining his balance. He glared downward just in time to see Ichigo swinging towards him, unleashing another one of those crescent beam attacks. Gathering his own youki, Issa pointed his katana forward and gathered his youki at the tip of his blade. A purple ball of youki began to form until it was at the size of a basketball at the tip of the katana.
Issa smirked, "Let's see if that attack of yours can handle this!" With a roared the ball of energy launched forward, creating a wave of energy that slammed into Ichigo's attack. The collision only lasted a second before Issa's attack broke through and race towards a surprise looking Ichigo.
The surprise look on Ichigo's face vanished and a scowl replaced it. He raised Zangetsu over him, to shield the wave of energy away from his body, a second later he was consumed by it. Moka and Kumiko gasped at this, looking on as Ichigo was consumed in the wave of youki. Kokoa herself said nothing, she continue to glare forward thinking about everything her sister had told her. Tears began to gather in Kumiko's eyes as she thought her daddy was hurt.
Her tear soaked gaze turn towards her mother, "Mommy!" She said, "Is daddy okay! Please tell me daddy's okay!"
Moka smiled at her, "Don't worry Kumiko. Your dad his tougher then he looks," She assured her.
Kumiko wiped the few tears off her face before smiling, "Okay, mommy."
Up in the sky, Issa laughed at seeing his attack overwhelming the pitiful boy that dare challenge him to do battle. The boy was very impressive to be able to keep up with him for a bit, but even with that he was only using a good ten percent of his true power. He enjoyed the fight a little bit and wished it would continue, but the boy seem like he was finished now. At least he was able to get rid of that damn thing! He was doing the world a favor by getting rid of him. If he was kept alive he didn't know what the boy would be able to accomplish.
"You were far more impressive than I thought boy." He said, looking down at the smoke cloud. "But again you are far too young to think you would be able to fight me."
Suddenly, something came shooting out of the smoke cloud. Issa widen his eyes and looked behind him to see Ichigo reappear behind him, the only seem scars that seem to be on him was that the left sleeve of his shihakusho was burn off. Issa quickly tried to raises his katana but he was too slow, Ichigo swung fast and slammed Zangetsu against Issa's katana. The strength behind the swing cause Issa's eyes to widen as he found Zangetsu buried into his left shoulder. He gritted his teeth in pain before glaring at a smirking Ichigo.
"Let me give you a word of advice," Ichigo said smirking darkly. "Never think you have won a fight against me so quickly."
Gripping Zangetsu harder, he pulled downward hard as he could with it. Issa screamed in pain and found himself speeding towards the ground and slamming into it. Moka and Kokoa widen their eyes at this; they had never seen someone ever hurt their father before. Seeing it before them was just unbelievable to both of them. Suddenly fear and admiration seem to fill within Kokoa's eyes as she stared at the still floating Ichigo.
"He... was able to hurt father!" Kokoa stuttered out, "How was he able to do that?"
Moka shook her head, also looking at the scene with a shock look on his face. "I really don't know Kokoa," She answered her sister truthfully.
"I know why!"
Both vampire sisters turn their gaze towards the little brown haired girl who was smiling as she looked up at her father. "How do you know Kumiko?" Kokoa asked her niece
Kumiko giggled, "It's because he's strong! And he's my daddy!" She said simply
Moka smiled at her daughter, "Your right Kumiko." She was still worried about her father but knew that he was far from finish. That blow Ichigo got on him probably just angered him even farther.
"MOKA! KOKOA!"
Both girls turn around to see Gin suddenly appear before them in a blur of speed. His suddenly appearance cause both girls to scream in alarm, but Kumiko along seem to giggle at seeing the blue werewolf in front of her. Gin smirked at the two girls before transforming back into his human form; he looked over towards the little girl in Moka's arms to see she looked exactly like Moka. He also noted that that the little girl seems to have a similar look as Ichigo as well.
"DON'T DO THAT YOU DAMN WOLF!" Kokoa shouted in anger
Gin smirked at her, "Sorry about that Kokoa."
Moka smiled at him, "It's good to see you Gin."
Gin nodded, "You to Moka but who is the little girl in your arms?"
Moka smiled at bit, she was no longer afraid of telling people about her daughter. "This beautiful little girl is my daughter."
Gin's eyes bulged, "Are you serious?" He asked in shocked
Moka nodded, "Yes I'm serious Gin-sempai."
Gin was amazed at this; he would never have thought that Moka would have a little girl of all things. The girl was to kind and sometime too naive to probably even know what sex was or to even have a child. But all that seem to be wrong as he gazed at the giggling little girl in the pink haired vampire arms. The girl looked just like Moka, having silver hair like the inner Moka and pink strips that represented the Outer Moka. She also seems to have the same giddiness as the one before him as well.
"Yup, that little girl is definitely your daughter." Gin said, "But who is the father? Is it Tsukune?"
Moka was about to answer him but was interrupted by her daughter giggling. She looked at the little girl who was smiling at Gin for some odd reason.
"You're a really huge dog, mister!" She said
Gin sweat dropped
Moka gasped, "KUMIKO! You cannot say that about someone." She scowled, "Now tell Gin-sempai you're sorry."
Kumiko pouted cutely, "I'm sorry Gin-sempai." She apologized
Gin chuckled, "Don't worry about it kid." He smirked, "I can become a much bigger dog if I wanted to."
Moka and Kokoa looked at him in confusion, "What are you talking about Gin-semapi/perverted wolf?" They both asked
He just smirked at them, "You just have to see won't you."
Moka and Kokoa was still confused a bit on what he was talking about but left it along. They were about to turn back towards the fight, but the shouts of their name caused them to look behind them. They looked to see Tsukune and the others either flying or running towards them, Moka smiled at them a bit before turning back around. She didn't have time to deal with the silent glares that would be thrown her way, she had more deals to worry about in front of her.
Kurumu put Tsukune on the ground before landing on the ground and reverting back to her human form. She sent an annoyed look in Gin's direction who was smirking at her, "You could have waited for us you know?" She told him annoyed
Gin snorted, "Learn to keep up and we want have a problem."
Tsukune ignored the argument that began with Gin and Kurumu and stared at Moka who wasn't looking his way. He looked at her for a couple of seconds before shifting his gaze towards the little girl in her arms. He was amazed at seeing that the little girl looked like both Moka's; she also had a similar appearance to Ichigo if you looked closely. Unlike other vampires he had saw, the little girl had warm chocolate brown eyes that seem to be filled with happiness for some odd reason. Following the girls gaze, he looked up to see Ichigo standing on air and glaring down at a cloud of smoke.
'How is he able to do that?' Tsukune thought in amazement, never seeing someone able to standing on air like that.
"Is something wrong Tsukune-kun?" Ruby asked
Tsukune looked at her and smiled, "Nothing's wrong Ruby-san."
Ruby nodded before looking over towards Moka who was looking towards the sky, following the girl's gaze she caught sight of Ichigo who was standing on air. She was amazed at this, even with her magic it would take effort for her to just stand there like he was currently doing. It also seem like he wasn't even trying either, like wasn't even giving it effort to stand where he was. Her pride took a blow for that, she felt jealous that he was able to stand there like it's nothing to him. She looked at Moka and finally caught sight of the little girl in her arms.
"Moka," She called out
Moka turn around and smiled, "What is it Ruby-san?"
Ruby said nothing at first, she just pointing towards Kumiko before speaking. "Is that little girl in your arms your daughter by any chance?"
Kurumu, Yukari and Mizore paused and looked at the little girl with shocked look on their faces. Looking closely, they could see that the girl had a strong resembles to both Moka's and Ichigo as well. The little girl was no doubt Moka and Ichigo's daughter, so all the things that they still thought were lies was true. The proof was right in front of them so they had no alternate of saying that the girl wasn't theirs. The three girls looked over towards Tsukune to see he had a sad look in his eyes, each girl became angry but they held their tongue.
Moka smiled and looked at Kumiko. "Say hello to my friends Kumiko-chan."
Kumiko looked at her mother and smiled before looking at the others. "Hello, my names Kumiko!" She greeted, she then looked at her hand and began counting her fingers. She then smiled and raised four fingers, "And I'm four years old!"
All the anger left the now four girls as they looked at the small girl, they couldn't blame the small girl for Tsukune's sadness no matter how much they wanted to. The little girl was just too cute for them to be able to say anything mean in front of her towards her mother. Nothing was her fault; the blame was directed towards Moka and that bastard who caused all this. They watched as the girl giggled before looking back up in the sky, the girls followed her gaze to see Ichigo floating in the air.
"What the heck is he just standing up there for?" Kurumu asked
"Just shut up cow and watch," Mizore said. She took the lollipop out her mouth before putting it back in. "You ask to many questions sometimes."
Kurumu glared at her, "Nobody ask you to say anything stalker!"
They were about to begin arguing but a power blast of youki stopped them in their tracks; they quickly turn back towards the scene before them. Once the smoke cleared, Moka and Kokoa eyes open in amazement at what was before them. Standing in a crater was their father but injured more than they had ever saw him, were his left arm was suppose to be the only thing there was a stump. His knees were bent and he was clutching his katana tightly in his hands, he glared up towards Ichigo with anger in his eyes.
"He... managed... to wound father!" Kokoa said in shock, still not believing what they were seeing before them.
Tsukune was also shocked, when he had fought Moka's father the man had took his blows like they were nothing but insect bites to him. Now standing just a yard or two away from him was a severely wound Issa, he had never saw that man with that kind of expression on his face. He look up towards Ichigo in awe and fear, was this his true power that Ichigo's been holding back on them? Or is this not even his full power? Tsukune felt something twist in his gut that was he thought was absolutely true.
"Just how strong is he?" Kurumu asked, shocked as well
Gin watched the fight before him with calculated eyes. "I guess where this fight is going, we might just see how strong Ichigo is."
"I would never think he would be able to wound a vampire lord so severely like that." Ruby said, she then turn her gaze towards Moka. "Are you sure that he was human when you met him Moka?"
Moka nodded, "Yes Ruby-san! I'm sure that Ichigo was a hundred percent human when I first met him."
Ruby nodded and looked at the scene before her, if what Moka was saying was true then that boy must have had something or someone to give him powers. There was no possible way that a human should be able to wound a vampire in no possible way. The only time she ever saw that happen was with Tsukune, but he was only able to wound one because of the ghoul that was inside him. She was sure that Ichigo had no ghoul's powers in him, but she couldn't be for sure, his eyes were red and he did meet Moka a long time ago. Something might have happen for Moka to inject blood into him to save him from something that was the only theory she could come up with.
"Moka, did you inject your blood into him a long time ago?" She asked
Moka and the others widen their eyes at her claim, and Kokoa glared at her sister hearing that was somehow why Ichigo was so strong. That was the only reason that could be because she had never heard of a monster called a Vizard before in her life. Why would her sister give some human her blood? And even worst someone like him? If she was the reason why he had power, than he should be grateful to her! Not trying to kill her or hurt her at any possible way he could! Kokoa felt anger build up in her just thinking about that.
Tsukune looked at his girlfriend in shocked. "Is that true Moka-chan?" He asked
Moka shook her head furiously. "NO! I never gave Ichigo-kun my blood before."
Kurumu snorted, "Well how do you explain those red eyes of his?" She asked sarcastically. "Cause this Vizard thing the Headmaster told us he was I never heard of before in my life."
"Me either," Mizore said. "So the only option is that you had to give him your blood."
Moka glared at them, why would they think she would give Ichigo her blood? She had dranked from him numerous times but she had never given him her blood. She had no reason, Ichigo was well trained in martial arts to protect himself from any gang that wanted to fight him or who picked on her. He never got seriously hurt to need to give him her blood, he probably got a broken arm before but a quick trip to his father would fix that. She looked at them each with a seriously look on her face.
"I'm telling you the truth!" She said, "I had no reason onto why I would give Ichigo-kun my blood. He never needed it to protect me four years ago."
Ruby cross her arms over her chest, "I really don't believe that Moka."
"Why?" Moka asked
"I looked up every record about every youki that excited, and I have never read about this Vizard the Headmaster said he was." Ruby explained, "The only possible way for him to have power is that you gave him your blood."
"I'm telling you that I never gave Ichi-kun my blood!" Moka snapped
"I don't believe you Moka!" Kurumu said, glaring at her. "How else could he have power?"
"Shut up."
They all paused in their argument to turn and see Gin with his arms cross over his chest and looking toward the fight. He turns and glared at them, "What Moka says is true." He said
"And how can you tell?" Mizore asked
Gin smirked and pointed towards his nose. "How else can I know? This nose can smell practically anything." He explains to them, "And I can smell that Ichigo has no trace of vampire blood in his system."
"Your nose cannot be that damn good!" Mizore said
Gin snorted, "Believe what you want. But Ichigo is far from being a ghoul like Tsukune if you think he is."
"Then what is he, desu?" Yukari asked
Gin shook his head, "I really don't know? Just shut up and watch the fight. Then we might just find out what he is."
Issa was enraged, how was this boy able to land an injury of this magnitude on him? It shouldn't even be possible for him to do it. He glared up towards Ichigo who was smirking darkly at him, seeing that made him even angrier. Gathering his youki at the base of his arm, he waited as his arm was replaced by a new one. Standing up straight, he tested the arm before smirking at a now narrowed eye Ichigo.
"I see you seem surprise that I was able to heal my arm." Issa said, clenching his left fist. "Well let me explain that a wound like that is nothing to a vampire. We could practically heal any part of our bodies if we wanted to, even if the body was cut in half or blown to bits."
Ichigo narrowed his eyes, "Don't get to full of yourself because you're able to heal injuries I inflict on you." He said, "I have fought someone you could do the same thing as you."
"You have now," Issa said. "Interesting boy, is it another vampire?"
"No! But enough of that," Ichigo said, "Even if you can heal yourself! You can't heal if your whole body is obliterated into oblivion."
Issa glared, "Do you really think you have the power to kill me?"
Ichigo glared down at him before pointing the tip of Zangetsu at him. "It's not that I think," He disappeared and phased back right at Issa's side. "I KNOW I can!"
Ichigo swung Zangetsu to cut right through Issa's torso, but the vampire lord mange to get his katana up enough time to block the strike. The two glared at one another before breaking apart and entering a high speed strike fest against one another. Their strike faster than the trained eye could see as the aim every strike to kill one another. They suddenly vanished and reappeared a few meters away from where they previously were. Issa suddenly grin before faster than Ichigo could react, he felt a fist slam into his gut.
He grunted in pain as he was lunched across the area, he open his eyes and looked up to see Issa diving towards him in a drop kick. Ichigo slammed his hand on the ground and narrowly avoided being crushed, Issa slammed into the ground creating a huge crater and smoke. Ichigo closed his eyes a bit, and raced into the smoke cloud and swung Zangetsu in a full arc. Sparks flew as he met against Issa's katana, the smoke clear to show a glaring vampire lord. Taking advantages, Ichigo slammed a punch straight across Issa's face.
Blood flew from the vampire's lord mouth, he gasped in shock before gritting his teeth. He reacted and threw his own punch quickly towards Ichigo's shoulder. The orange haired teen dug his feet into the ground and prepared him for the blow, confident that he would be able to shake it off. Issa grinned, and took advantage at Ichigo's arrogance; he charged his youki into his fist. The blow slammed into Ichigo's shoulder, the said boy widen his eyes had gritted his teeth in pain as the right side of his shihakusho was blown to pieces. Ichigo instantly reacted and struck upward as quickly as he could with Zangetsu, the huge long blade craving a deep gash across the vampire lord's chest.
Issa grunted, and slashed upward with his own katana, the long blade being able to cut through Ichigo's shihakusho and craving a similar gash across his chest. Blood splattered across the ground, and the two glared at each other as they regain their footing. They shot towards each other and slammed their blades together; Issa jumped into the air and aimed a straight kick that connected to Ichigo's face. Using the momentum, Ichigo twisted his body along with Zangetsu and swung it across Issa's chest.
Issa gritted his teeth in pain as Zangetsu dragged across his chest, creating another long gash across his chest. Landing on the ground, he quickly blurred forward and slammed a kick into Ichigo's chest, the blow sending him tumbling across the area, kicking up rocks and debris. Twisting his body and landed on his feet, Ichigo sled across the area with a fierce glare on his face. He quickly looked up to see Issa above him, the vampire lord swung downward along with Ichigo swing towards him. The collision of their blades caused another shockwave to fill through the area around them, along with debris and smoke.
Seconds later, Issa came flying out of the smoke being quickly followed by Ichigo. The orange haired teen vanished and phased over Issa and punched him across the jaw, the blow sending the vampire lord flying in another direction. Landing on the ground, reiatsu blasted around Ichigo's form and covering Zangetsu whole form. Holding the blade upward, He glared in Issa's direction before slashing Zangetsu downward. A huge crescent shape beam of energy raced towards Issa's from.
Issa quickly twisted his body upwards and landed on the ground, raising his own blade and gathering his youki around him. He slashed towards Ichigo, creating a similar attack that slammed into Ichigo's and crating an explosion in the middle. The two didn't even bother about the smoke and glared at one another, before racing towards one another at top speed. The two slashed as one another, dragging their blades across each other's body. Ichigo landed on the ground and quickly turn around and shooting across the area as fast as he could.
Getting their just in time as Issa widen his eyes and swung his katana, their blades meeting again and creating a storm of smoke and debris. They glared at one another and gathered their power into their blades, each of their aura's battle for dominates. Cracks began to form around them, along with small trenches that began to form. Unlocking blades with the vampire lord, Ichigo jumped back and raised his right hand at Issa. A second later, a ball of red energy began forming in his hand, getting a surprise look from the vampire lord.
"Take this you bastard!" Ichigo roared.
The small ball of energy release from his hand, become a wide range attack that consumed Issa. Ichigo landed on the ground and glared forward as his cero consumed Issa, he waited patiently as a small explosion occurred. He knew that small cero hadn't finished the vampire lord off; he would just wait until he made his move. A few seconds later passed by and the smoke settled to see Issa, his left hand was badly burn but it was quickly healing like the rest of the wounds Ichigo inflicted onto his body. Ichigo narrowed his eyes at this before gritted his teeth, that healing ability of his would cause for a serious problem if he somehow didn't find a way to stop it.
'Damn bastard.' He thought, gripping Zangetsu tightly in his right hand.
Issa chuckled as he watched Ichigo glaring at him. "Nicely done boy," He said, looking at his left hand to see it now healed completely. "But you will never defeat me with attacks like that if they only cause burns."
"Don't kid yourself." Ichigo sneered, "The next attack will be ten times stronger than what I've been throwing at you."
"I would like to see you try!" Issa snapped, "I will make sure this time to make sure your dead!"
Ichigo glared at him with burning rage in his eyes. He lifted his left hand and grabbed the top part of his shihakusho; with a quick pull he ripped the remaining shreds off of him. Moka looked at him and blushed a bit a seeing his ripped body, he seem to have no kind of fat on him whatsoever. She looked behind her to see the others looking at the fight in amazement along with her as well. This was the first time she had ever seen someone except her mother able to battle her father like this.
"I make sure to hit your ass with enough power where you won't be able to heal yourself!" Ichigo threaten.
"THEN COME AND TRY HUMAN!" Issa roared
Both rushed towards one another, meeting in the middle of the area and slamming their blades against one another. Another shockwave was created, blowing back Moka and the others haired and causing some of the to scream in shock. The two enemies glared at one another and broke apart before vanishing from the others sight. The only think they could see was blood being splattered across the ground. Moka looked on in worry as the fight was becoming even more deadly by the second.
"This fight is getting really intense isn't it?" Kurumu asked in shock
Kokoa glared at her in annoyance. "What the hell do you think?"
Kurumu glared at her but said nothing
"Has your father ever fought this fiercely against anyone?" Mizore asked
Moka shook her head, "No! The only time he did fight seriously a bit was when he would spar against my mother. But that was just for practice and passing time, I never seen him fight like this or receive any wounds like that before."
Gin smirked, "Ichigo must be damn good to be able to push your father so far."
"No he isn't."
Gin and the others turn to see a serious looking Kokoa who kept her gaze towards the fight. She had her arms across her chest but they could see that she was gripping her sleeves tightly. Each of them was confused at the way she was acting now, something must be seriously wrong for her to be acting like this.
"What do you mean he isn't Kokoa, desu?" Yukari asked, "Your father seems to be fighting pretty hard out there."
Kokoa shook her head, "It might seem he's fight hard but he's only toying with Ichigo."
The others widen their eyes in shock at that
"Are you serious Kokoa?" Kurumu asked
Kokoa nodded, "Yes!"
"But," Tsukune started. "When I fought him, do you mean he was just toying with me as well?"
Again Kokoa shook her head yes.
Tsukune was shock at this; he quickly turns towards Moka to confirm this. "Is what Kokoa saying true Moka-chan?" He asked
Moka nodded, "Unfortunately yes. My father hasn't even begun to show his true power."
"How more powerful can he get?" Ruby asked
"He still hasn't transformed." Kokoa said
The others looked at her in confusion before looking over at the fight. They looked over Issa to see he had no type of item on his body as a seal he had to take off. Like Moka's and Kokoa's sister Kahlua who had earrings has her seals, she had to take them off them unleash or transform her arm to unleash her true power. But as they looked at Issa, they found no such think anywhere on his body. So how could he transform?
"I don't see a seal on his body." Mizore said
Kokoa snorted, "Father doesn't need a seal. He can transform any time he want."
Tsukune and the others nodded not all that surprise that he could consider he's beyond an S-class monster.
"So he can transform like Moka or your other sister."
Moka shook her head, "No! His transformation is entirely different than ours. His transformation is also far more powerful."
"How much more powerful are you talking about Moka?" Kurumu asked
Moka didn't answer her, which caused the blue haired girl to gulp in fear. Just how more powerful was he going to become if he ever released his power? She had heard of vampire transformations but since Moka's father was a vampire lord she didn't think he needed one at all. But hearing that he had another level of power made Kurumu begin to fear just how powerful vampire's were. Power like that when you're already one of the most powerful didn't make scene to her, but the fear in her still wonders how much more powerful could he get.
Ichigo phased back into sight just a few meters away from where the current shockwave occurred. Both his hands were gripping on Zangetsu and his eyes were glaring in each direction, trying to pick up any trace of Issa. Suddenly his eyes widen a fraction as the tip of a blade came inches away from his face, he only had a second to dodge out of the way or he would have been killed. Catching his footing he glared forward before thrusting his hand forward, he grins when he felt himself grip something. Clenching his fist for a better grip, he pulled as hard as he could and suddenly Issa reappeared with a shock look on his face.
"!" Ichigo roared a slammed the vampire lord hard onto the ground, creating a huge crater in the area. Issa coughed blood before glaring at Ichigo who was smirking at him. "How does that fill you bastard? That's just how I felt four years ago!"
Issa gritted his teeth before grabbing a hold of Ichigo's forearm, using his strength he threw Ichigo as hard as he could away from him. Picking himself up quickly, Issa blurred forward before phasing back over Ichigo and swing down upon the orange haired shinigami. Ichigo quickly raised Zangetsu and blocked the slash aimed to cut him in half, the two glared at one another before phasing out of sight. Ichigo phased back in sight already swing Zangetsu like a baseball bat, the huge zanpakuto clashed with steel as Issa reappeared.
Ichigo smirked, "Is this how you predicted this fight was going to go? Or you shocked that the once human you beat into the ground can fight back?"
Issa eyes narrowed in intense hatred at Ichigo's words. He felt sicken that everything that he had said was true! The boy's power right now did match his to every aspect. Each counter, collision, speed, power, the boy and everything to match up with him. The more he thought about it the angrier he got, how could he let a mere human match him? He could not let this go on any further! He would destroy him here and now.
"I'm tired of your arrogance boy!" He snapped, "I will show you your place here and now!"
"Then show me!" Ichigo said, pushing harder on Zangetsu. He dug his feet into the ground and began pushing forward, dragging Issa along with the ride.
The vampire lord glared forward before digging his own feet into the ground, the ride he was being sent on stop before he slashed upward. The clashed cause Zangetsu to rise into the air, seeing his chance Issa stepped forward but met nothing but air. Moving quickly, he jumped in the air just in time to dodge a strike that was aim for his back. Twisting on the large blade, he sent a strong kick towards Ichigo's unprotected face but the vizard quickly blocked it his forearm. Issa glared before shifting and sending another kick towards Ichigo's chest, but this time the vizard phased out of sight.
Issa landed on the ground, his eyes searching for any possible angle Ichigo will reappear. Shifting his feet, he lean his body back just in time to dodge a dive strike that was aim to impale his head through. Looking up, he smirked when he saw a enrage look cross over Ichigo's face before he again disappeared from view. A second later Issa phased out of view, quickly following after him. Blows and waves of pressure was seen all across the area, small craters forming each time the two would reappear for a brief moment.
They again phased back into view, slamming their blades against one another. Ichigo glared intensified and he suddenly grabbed onto a surprise looking Issa's jacket. He growled, twisting his body and throwing the vampire lord as hard as he could in the direction of the large castle. The sudden surprise move catching the vampire lord off guard, he tried to quickly gain his foot but was surprise when he couldn't. A second later he found himself slamming clean through his castle walls and landing in the center of the main hall.
From the battle field, Ichigo suddenly stabbed Zangetsu into the ground. He turns to look at his zanpakuto for a moment, the blade suddenly glowed red and he nodded. Turning his head back in the direction of the castle, Ichigo glared and flared his reiatsu around him. Bending his knees, he lunched himself as quickly as he could towards the castle where Issa was currently at. Speeding into the hallway, he shot towards a surprise looking Issa and slammed a right hook across his face.
The sudden blow cause Issa to stagger back in shock, completely not expecting a counter to come so quickly. Regaining his whits, he glared and faster than Ichigo could react, the shinigami found a fist buried into his stomach. Issa's eyes widen in shock as his opponent seem to take the full blunt of his blow without a sign of pain at all. Ichigo took a step back before slamming a strong uppercut into Issa's lower jaw; he then slammed another uppercut into his stomach.
Issa's eyes widen in pain, he could feel that his ribs were broke, along with damage to his eternal organs. Ichigo stepped back and watched as Issa dropped to the ground, clutching his stomach in pain. He scoffed at him and slammed a kick straight into his stomach, the blow sending the vampire lord crashing into another wall. He watched silently as a cloud of smoke form where Issa's body was, he was about to turn around thing the fight was over but a sudden hand on his shoulder cause him to stop. He quickly turn around but had no time to reacted as a left hook found its way across his face.
The blow sending him flying out of the castle, bending his head down he glared as he looked to see Issa quickly following after him. He quickly flared his arms out and stopped his advancement into the air; cocking his arm back he sent it flying towards Issa's face. A surprise look flashed across his face as his fist went straight into the vampire lord. He curses himself for his stupidly, and quickly turns around in enough time to see a fist mere inches away from his face. Issa's fist's buried across his face and sent him crashing towards the ground, creating a large crater right on side of Zangetsu.
Issa glared down upon Ichigo's emerging form, his teeth was clenched so tight that they might shatter in mere moments. At his sides, his fists were clenched tightly and his claws cut the skin to draw blood. Purple youki flashed around him as his anger continued to rise. Down below, Ichigo grabbed onto Zangetsu and watched everything above him with cautions eyes.
"I will not be beaten by a human..." Issa calmly said through intense anger. His hair began to grow longer along with his skin become darker. "I WILL NOT BE BEATEN BY A DAMN HUMAN!"
Power exploded outward, surrounding the vampire lord in a ball of purple youki. Seeing this, both Moka and Kokoa's eyes widen in fear as they knew what was going to happen. Kokoa shifted her gaze towards Ichigo in awe and fear, wondering how could anyone push her father this far. Tsukune and the others and no time to react as a powerful force slammed into them, causing each of them to gasp in shock. Their knees buckled under them, sending them crashing towards the ground in pain.
Tsukune grunt and twisted his head to see both Moka and Kokoa standing. "What... the hell... is that?"
Moka grunted and slowly turn her head towards him. "My father's transforming!" She said
Tsukune and the others eyes widen in amazement how could just release cause this much too happen to the surrounding area? Tsukune could feel a huge pressure that was keeping him on the ground. He turns his head to see Kurumu, Yukari, Mizore and Ruby in the same position as him. he looked over towards Gin to see him standing but even with that he was still struggling a bit to keep up.
'What the hell's he doing?' Ichigo thought, looking on and waiting for the vampire lord to reappear from the ball of youki he created. He could feel Issa's energy levels increasing along with his energy becoming much darker than it was before. He looked down at Zangetsu and considers using his bankai, but shook that thought quickly as it came. He was completely confident he could beat this bastard with the power he had now. He suddenly heard something like braking glass, looking up he could see the ball Issa had surrounded himself in was cracking.
BOOM!
The ball of youki exploded outward, creating a huge wave of energy that surrounded the whole area. Ichigo raised his left arm up to cover his face, glaring into the smoke to try and located where Issa's location was. Seconds later, the smoke settled and Ichigo eyes widen a fraction at what was floating above him. Moka and the others eyes widen in fear at what they were seeing, never before had either of them had seen anything like what was before them.
"What the hell is... that?" Kurumu asked in fear
The others couldn't answer her; they were just too shocked at what they were seeing before them. Floating in the air was what could be described as a winged demon from the depths of hell itself. The thing was completely black in color and it had large bat like wings on its back. Its hair was long and flaring out behind it, but unlike its body its hair was a midnight blue in color. Claws racked both its hands and feet and jagged long fangs were a good two inches out of its mouth.
Its eyes and no visible pupils, they were completely purple in color and what looked like purple lighting flashed around it. The thing grins down upon a glaring Ichigo who was clutching Zangetsu tightly in his hands. The amount of hatred burning in his eyes were increasing with every second that passed, his fist were clenched so tightly around Zangetsu that they were beginning to bleed.
The thing chuckles before shifting its gaze at the glaring shinigami. "You should feel honored human." It said, "I never thought that I would have to resort to using this."
Ichigo scoffed, "Don't thing that this new look of yours is going to change a damn thing!"
"You truly believe that you will be able to match me now?"
Ichigo didn't answer him; he flared his power around him and Zangetsu, creating a vortex of red reiatsu. Issa kept calmly in the air as he looked down at the scene with an amused look on his face; he was interesting on what Ichigo was planning. Whatever he was planning, he would make sure to crush whatever hopes the boy though he hand. The mistake he made of leaving that thing alive will be corrected here today! And this time he would make sure he's dead.
"GETSUGA," Ichigo roared, lifting Zangetsu into the air. The ground cracked under him as he charged more reiatsu into the large zanpakuto. "Let's see you stand there with that smug look on your face after this!"
Issa chuckled, "Show me everything you have boy." He raised his right hand and pointed his palm towards Ichigo. "I will not move an inch from this spot; I will only block your attack with my right hand."
Ichigo's glare became murderous; he would not let that bastard stand there and look down on him. He would make sure to wipe that smug look of his face for good! "TENSHOOOOO,"
Ichigo swung towards Issa who still didn't move from his spot, still confident that he didn't have to move. Once Ichigo swung, the blade blasted like an inferno of hellish storm, releasing a huge crescent beam of energy that sped towards a surprising looking Issa. Moka and the others stared shocked at the humongous blast of energy Ichigo released from his sword that was heading straight towards a surprised looking Issa. A second later, the Getsuga Tensho slammed directly into Issa's right palm and began to push him into the air.
'Damn it!' He thought in anger, 'Just how much power does that boy still have?'
Behind him, his large wings spared widely behind him and stopped him quickly. He grinned and began pushing the attack from Ichigo back but to his surprise felt it wasn't moving at all. He narrowed his eyes and held out his left hand, a second later what looked like blood tentacles flared to life. They formed into what looked like a large blood red claymore that seems to be covered in purple lightning. He grins savagely and slashed the huge sword against the Getsuga Tensho, completely cutting it in half with what looked like little effort.
Down below, Tsukune could only gap in shocked. The others around him was in complete shock as well, completely amazed that at the large beam of energy being cutting half like it was noting. Kokoa was gapping at her father in shock! She had never seen his full power being release but never thought he would be this powerful. What she was currently looking at was more like a demon then a vampire.
"Is he truly a vampire?" Ruby asked
Moka turn towards the black haired woman to see her whole body shaking in fear. She looked around to see the others were also shaking in fear except Gin who for some reason looked angry. She felt something tremble in her arms and looked down to see that Kumiko was also shaking in fear like the rest were.
"Mommy..." The little girl stuttered out, "Is daddy going to be okay?"
Moka didn't know how she was going to answer that; she didn't want to tell the little girl that her dad was going to lose and deep down she didn't want him to. But looking how her father cut down Ichigo's best attack like it was nothing, began to make her doubt that he was going to win or even be alive after this. The fear she's been feeling since the ay started began coming back tenfold; the fear of Ichigo losing his life began to cloud any judgment for her own safety.
"Moka-chan," Tsukune called out to her, seeing the scared look on her face. "Is something wrong/"
Moka didn't answer him
"Moka," Kurumu shouted, "What's wrong with you all of a sudden?"
Moka looked at them all, and each of them was surprise to see a determined look on her face. Each wondering what she was looking like that for and for what she was suddenly thinking about. Moka shifted her gaze from her friends and looked down at her daughter, the little girls fueling her resolve to do what she had to do. She couldn't allow Ichigo to die, he had too much lost time to spend with his daughter to die on her know. She still had to get his forgiveness, she knew that love was far from anything because she thought that after what she did he could never love her again.
"Tsukune," She called out
Tsukune looked at her in confusion. "What's wrong Moka-chan?"
She looked up at him with a pleading look in her eyes, "Please remove the Rosario."
Tsukune along with the others widen their eyes, knowing full well what she was planning to do if the Rosario was released. Tsukune's brown eyes narrowed at that, he then shifted his gaze towards a smirking Issa and then a panting and still glaring Ichigo. He knew exactly the reason onto why Moka wanted him to release the Rosario, and he will not let her do it. He reached out and grabbed her by the arm before pulling her into him.
Moka was shocked at first before her eyes narrowed. "What are you doing Tsukune?"
"I will not do it!"
"What?" She asked in shock. She looked up to see him looking at her in anger, "Why?"
"Because I know what you want to do." he told her, "And I will not let you scarifies your life that you are not a part of."
Moka eyes narrowed in anger, she clenched her teeth tightly as she looked at her boyfriend. "I don't have time for this Tsukune! Just please release the Rosario."
Tsukune just shook his head. "No I will not! I know you might be angry at me but I will not let you go and get yourself kill."
Moka herself didn't know what happen, she suddenly just felt herself snap. All the anger inside her just release in one final burst, all the built up rage she had been feeling inside her for so long was finally release. Her pink hair flared behind her and her eyes began to flash red with each passing second. Seeing this, Tsukune gasped in shock and stepped back just in time as red youki exploded around her. Covering his face, he watched on in shock as the familiar red youki disappeared to show a narrowed eyed inner Moka with Kumiko still in her arms.
Kumiko smiled, "Hello there mommy!"
Inner Moka's eyes shifted towards her daughter and she smiled. "Hello there Kumiko-chan," She greeted, "I need you to do a favor for mommy okay."
The little girl nodded, "Okay!"
"I need you to get down and stay right in this spot until I return okay?" Inner Moka said
Kumiko nodded with a smile before she was brought to the ground by her mother. She smiled at her before picking up the black teddy bear that was closely by her feet. Inner Moka smiled at her daughter before her smile turn into a angry frown and turn her body towards a shock looking group. She clenched her fist and walked toward Tsukune who still didn't move from his spot, he was about to say something but was cut off as Moka's right hand met his face. They gasped in shock before narrowing their eyes in anger at the sliver haired vampire.
"Why the heck did you just slap Tsukune-kun?" Kurumu demanded
"Yeah, why did you just slap Tsukune-kun in the face, desu?" Yukari said
Moka didn't answer either of them; she kept her angry gaze towards a shock looking Tsukune. "When my outer self ask you to release the Rosario Tsukune then do it! She doesn't always need your protecting."
Tsukune looked at her sadly. "I just wanted to protect you Moka-san! I don't want to see you hurt."
Inner Moka scoffed, "You're not protecting me Tsukune. Your shelter me and don't seem to get that I can protect myself completely find without you thinking you need to do it for me."
"He was along trying to help you!" Mizore snapped. "You did not need to slap him."
Inner Moka glared at her, "I did not ask for your opinion!"
"I don't care if you didn't ask for it!" Mizore growled, "But I will not just stand there and let you hit Tsukune-kun."
"MOKA"
Inner Moka's eyes widen along with everyone else's, they quickly turn around to see Ichigo breathing heavily with a large jagged slash mark going across his chest. Moka's eyes widen in fear and shock as she saw the wound, she then looked up to see her father smirking down at Ichigo and his blade covered in blood. How did he mange to attack Ichigo without her even noticing it? Just what king of abilities her father had in his transformed state?
Ichigo shifted his red eyes towards her. "I know what you're thinking and I will not allow it!" He said, "This is my fight! I do not need you interfering."
"PLEASE STOP THIS!" She shouted, "Please let's just leave here. We have Kumiko so let's just go."
"I'm sorry my daughter," Moka shifted her gazes to see her father smirking at her. "But that thing leaving here alive is not an option.
"I will not let you kill Ichigo father!" Moka snapped
Issa chuckled, "You cannot stop me! This boy will die here like he was supposing to four years ago."
"If you got the balls to kill me then COME TRY," Ichigo shouted in hatred. Ignoring his wound and blasting himself towards Issa in rage. He phase out of view and reappeared directly above the transformed vampire, he roared and came down as hard as he could.
Issa scoffed, "Is that all you have boy?" He raised his hand and caught Zangetsu in his right hand. He looked up to see a look of surprise flash in Ichigo's eyes. "Because if that is, then I have no more time to play with you."
Suddenly a sickening sound tore through the air, Both Moka's and the others eyes widen as they looked in shock. Issa grinned as Ichigo glared at him, grunting in pain and looked down to see the large claymore buried into his chest. His eyes widen a bit and a large amount of blood came out of his mouth, falling onto both him and a grinning Issa. His trembled a bit and looked up into Issa's eyes, seeing the grinning look on the vampire lords face cause him to become even more angry. He clutched Zangetsu tightly in his hand and swung towards him; the vampire lean his head back and Ichigo felt a pressure slam into his chest.
The blow sent him crashing towards the ground, creating a huge dust cloud that covered him from view. Down by the others, Moka's eyes was still wide with shock as she looked at where Ichigo's body was. All that was running through her mind was that she had fail, that she had fail again to stop him from dying in front of her. This time she could have did something, but again she did nothing and watch him die by her own father.
She lost it
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" A scream tore passed her lips, causing all to look in her direction. Youki blasted around her in a large typhoon of power that sent everyone flying away from her, the only one that didn't seem to be hurt or sent flying was Kumiko.
The little girl looked at her mother in shock and fear; she had never seen her mother so angry. She looked towards the smoke cloud on where her father's body was and felt tears gather in her eyes. He had lied to her! He told her that he would come back to her but he wasn't! And she didn't know what she was going to do. Why were her grandfather and daddy fighting each other in the first place? Why were they so intent on killing each other? She didn't know the answer to any of it! But either way it goes she didn't want any of them to die. She picked her tiny body up from the ground and was about to go and rush towards her mother, but a hand wrapped around her waist. She looked back to see Gin smiling at her before he ran towards a safer area away from what was happening.
Issa looked at his daughter as her youki began to flash darker and then it was. He didn't know what was happen to her but was suddenly alert with anything that might come his way. Down below, Moka's youki began to grow darker and darker until it was completely a blood red in color. It then shifted and a black outline formed around it and growing much more powerful. Her eyes were completely read as another scream tore through her throat and shattering the ground under her.
Her skin began to grow paler until it was a pale blue in color; her fangs grew until they were an inch or so out of her mouth. Her claws grew along with her lips turning blue in color, with one final scream of anger the youki around her blasted outward. Once the smoke clear; Issa stared a completely different looking Moka who was looking at him with burning red eyes.
Issa chuckled, "I see you have finally tapped in your Shuzen blood." He complimented, "But even with your new transformation. You are nowhere near my level."
Moka growled at him, "You're going to pay for what you did to him! I swear you're going to die here and now!"
Issa narrowed his eyes, "I would like to see you try girl! I will show you your place when you mess with your elders."
Moka flared her right palm out and just like Issa, blood tentacles shot out of her hand. Seconds later, a huge blood red scythe equip with a long red chain at the end flared to life. Gripping it tightly in her hand, she bent her knees and sped towards her father as quickly as she could. Issa grin and swung as her with his own large weapon, the newly transformed Moka dodged it and swung down as hard as she could. Seeing this, Issa quickly raised his hand and grabbed the blade and began swinging her around at high velocity.
Moka grunted and twisted her body, the spin she was already in increasing her power before her thrusted a kick towards her father's hand. It connected, losing his grip on her scythe; the girl grinned and swung again towards his back. Her eyes widen when the large bat wings flared to life and slammed into her, she screamed in pain and found herself being slung towards the ground where the cloud of smoke Ichigo's body was. Up in the air, Issa narrowed his eyes down on his daughter as he watched her pick herself up from the ground. He clenched his teeth in anger, why was his daughter attacking him he did not know but he would make sure it stopped now!
"Why are you attacking me to kill Moka? He asked her through clenched teeth
Moka glared at him, "Why do you think! You killed Ichigo!"
"I had no choice but to kill him!" Issa snapped in anger, "That boy is too dangerous to stay alive."
Moka narrowed her eyes at her father. He had told her those same words four years ago when he gave her the choice of leaving Ichigo or Kumiko dies. "Why do you keep saying that? Ichigo is not a threat to anyone!"
Issa glared at her, "One day you will learn why I had to kill him."
Moka's glare hardens as she looked at her demonic looking father. Why did he hate Ichigo so much she would never understand? And why did he continue to say that Ichigo was a threat and to dangerous to stay alive? There was something he wasn't telling her and whatever it was she was going to find out no matter what it took. Her eyes traveled towards the huge scythe that was in her hands, she also had to discover what she had transformed and what she could do in this new form of hers. Grabbing the scythe with both hands, she began to sin it over her head as fast as she could.
Up in the air, Issa watched with curiosity at what Moka was doing. His eyes narrowed as he began to see what looked like red lightning began to gather around the scythe. He gritted his teeth, this was not something he was plan on Moka unlocking during a fight with him and that fool of a human that dared challenge him. His wings flared behind him and he phased out of Moka's sight; the girl's blood red eyes open wide in alarm and she began looking around to locate him. A second later, she felt something grip on her arm and she quickly turn to find her father standing right next to her.
"... How," She asked in shock.
Issa narrowed his eyes at her, "You are one hundred years to early to try and fight me in that form when you can't even control it properly." He raised his hands in a chopping position. "I may teach you later how to use it but until then..." He trailed off and struck forward, aim directly towards Moka's neck to knock her out.
Moka closed he eyes and waited for herself to meet unconsciousness, she had already failed Ichigo again and felt utter useless. With these new powers of hers unlocked she thought that she may have a change against her father, but she was a fool to believe she would be able to fight him even on equal grounds. He had way more experience in this form did she did and knows how to fully use it unlike her. When seconds passed and she didn't feel herself slip into unconsciousness, she became utterly confused onto why her father didn't knock her out yet. She opens her eyes and gasped in shock at seeing Ichigo standing there and gripping onto her father's wrist in a tight grip.
Issa was staring at Ichigo in astonishment; he couldn't believe that the boy he had just stabbed minutes ago was still alive and standing. Looking down he became even more shock to see that the wound he had given Ichigo was completely gone and only seem to have left a shallow scar. How was that possible? There was no way he could have healed that quickly from a blade of that size entering his body. Was the boy somehow a vampire? No! If he was he would have sense it a long time ago if he was. But what was he where he was able to heal so fast?
"How are you still alive boy?" He growled out in anger, "You should be dead! There is no possible way you should be standing or alive at that matter from that kind of blow."
Ichigo didn't answer him; He shifted his gazes towards a shock looking Moka. "Leave now Moka," His order
The shock look in Moka's arms shifted to anger. "NO I WON'T LEAVE," She snapped.
"I do not have time to argue with you Moka," Ichigo growled.
"Then don't because I will not leave,"
Ichigo's eyes narrowed even further, he was about to say something but he quickly side stepped a sword slash towards his head. Reaching quickly, Issa didn't have any time to react as he found an Ichigo's palm slamming into his face and sending him crashing towards the ground. Standing beside him, Moka looked in shock how quickly Ichigo was able to send her father flying across the field. She was about to ask him something but she suddenly felt herself behind picked up and the world around her becoming blurry around her. A second later her body landed on the ground about a good distance away from where she was just standing, looking up she saw Ichigo looking down at her with narrowed eyes.
"Stay here Moka and do not follow me," He told her before vanishing from her line of view
The said silver haired girl growled and picked herself up from the ground. She looked off towards the distance to see that Ichigo was back where he father was now picking himself up at. She was about to follow after him but a sudden hand closely with her caught her attention, looking down she could see a tear soaked Kumiko looking up at her. She bent down on one knee and picked the girl up into her arms and wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Moka-san," A familiar voice called out
Moka turn her head a bit to see Tsukune and the others running towards her, she narrowed her eyes at the brown haired boy, still mad at what he had did. She felt like he had insulted her thinking that she always needed to protect her like she was some kind of child that5 couldn't protect herself. The group stopped in front of her and looked at the sliver head vampire in shock. Looking at her new features in awe and slight fear, never before seeing this kind of thing happen to her.
'Moka," Kurumu stuttered out. 'What happen to you?"
Moka didn't answer her, she turn her gaze towards where her father and Ichigo were now standing at. She could see far clearly did she did before and could see that they were both staring each other down. She just hoped that and even though her father as done some evil things over the years, she didn't won't him to die either. She just hopes Ichigo has some control and not kill him.
Back with Ichigo...
"How are you still alive?" Issa snapped
Ichigo glared at him, "Don't thing that me getting stabbed in the chest would stop me." He pointed Zangetsu towards the vampire lord. "I was confident that I thought I could beat you with just shikai alone but I was wrong."
"What are you talking about?" Issa asked in anger, "There's no possible way you can beat me! You can't even cut me with that huge blade of yours anymore."
Ichigo didn't answer him, the only responds Issa got from the orange haired shinigami was a savage grin forming over his face. For some odd reason Issa began to feel fear grip at his heart, he gritted his teeth and stared angrily as Zangetsu began to glow red. Red reiatsu exploded around Ichigo, creating a vortex that tore up the ground under him and a huge tunnel of energy formed into the sky. Issa's grip tightens on his claymore as he began to feel himself slipping from the ground he was standing on him. He still could believe that the boy still had this much energy left within his body; he should even being alive right now to be able to do something like this.
'Just what the hell are you?'
"Ban-"Ichigo began, glaring up at Issa with glowing red eyes. "KAI!"
Issa widen his eyes in surprise as he suddenly found his world consume in a black and red light.

End Chapter 5
Author Notes: I'm a complete bastard and I know it! I just hoped you like it and I promise the fight will end in the next chapter. If you need questions asked then ask me in your reviews and again I'm sorry. But, I love writing this so I had to leave it like this and save it for the next chapter.
