Chapter 4: The Blank Mark
Ichigo slept peacefully before hearing a voice. "Ichigo...Come to me." commanded the voice. Ichigo's breath started to become shallow and his eyes became blank brown. He unconsciously released his reiatsu causing Hitsugaya, Yoruichi, Urahara, Yuki, and Naito to wake up with wide eyes. Hitsugaya, who was sleeping next door to Kurosaki, ran to his room to see the substitute shinigami standing up with his zanpaku-to in hand. "Ichigo." murmured Hitsugaya in disbelief. Ichigo turned to look at him and Hitsugaya's eyes started to become very wide. He quickly moved out of the way as Ichigo attacked him. He yelled, "Ichigo! Snap out of it!!" Ichigo ignored it and continued to attack him.
"What's going on!?" yelled Yoruichi but was shocked to see Ichigo attacking Hitsugaya. Yuki scowled and her eyes wandered the place. She said, "We have to get Ichigo out of the shop quick. Hitsugaya-taichou!" "Nani, Yuki-taichou!?" yelled Hitsugaya as he continued to dodge the endless attacks. Yuki's eyes narrowed and she glanced at Naito who nodded. She replied, "Lead Ichigo out of the shop! It's too dangerous for everyone in here!" Hitsugaya nodded and by using shunpo, got out of the shop fast. Ichigo followed him by doing the same thing and continued to attack the white-haired captain. Urahara asked, "What's going on?" Naito answered, "It might be the Seal reacting." Everyone's eyes became narrowed and they dodged Ichigo's next attack.
Yuki, Naito, and Hitsugaya transformed into their shinigami forms and the three pulled out their zanpaku-tos. "Burn the stars, Shinkusu!" yelled Yuki as her zanpaku-to transformed into its shikai form. Naito said, "Cover the skies, Kurohana!" "Set upon the frosty heavens, Hyourinmaru!" shouted Hitsugaya as all three zanpaku-tos transformed into their shikai forms. Ichigo glared at them and attacked them again by saying, "Tenshou Getsuga!" The three captains quickly disappeared evading the attack. Yuki backflipped and placed her hand on the blade. "Kasarashi (Fire Storm)!" shouted Yuki as she formed a huge fire storm and swung it at the possessed shinigami. Ichigo jumped up and said, "Tenshou Getsuga!"
The captain of the 5th division dodged the attack only to get attacked again by a much longer sword. Her eyes widened as she heard the person say, "Yo, Yuki-chan!" "Ichimaru Gin!" growled Yuki angrily. She swung her sword at him but he evaded the attack with ease. She growled and started to twirl her sword. Ichimaru smirked and said, "Shoot to kill, Shinsou!" Yuki dodged his sword and her eyes became filled with anger.
"Yuki!" yelled Naito but she saw Yuki shake her head. Yuki replied, "He's mine to deal with Naito. So stay out of this!" Naito's eyes widened but decided to trust her friend. She looked back at Ichigo who was grinning now. He yelled, "Getsuga Tenshou!" "Odori no Kurohana (dance of the black flower)!" yelled Naito as her sword changed into hundreds of black flower petals. Ichigo looked around him before releasing a large amount of reiatsu. "The blank mark." muttered Ichigo as he started to twirl his sword. "Senpaku-Kai!" he yelled. (me: senpaku-kai is the negative form of bankai and that it's my own creation!) Hitsugaya's and Naito's eyes widened as he was in a white form of his bankai form. Ichigo grinned sinisterly and said, "Joukatsuki! (Heaven's Moon)"
Hitsugaya's eyes narrowed and created a large wall of ice to block the attack. He jumped out of the way as he sense Ichigo coming to attack him again. "Snap out of it Kurosaki!!" hissed Hitsugaya but then was taken off guard as he saw Ichigo appear behind him quickly and slashed Zangetsu on his side. The captain gritted his teeth in pain as he grasped it. Ichigo smirked wider and then muttered, "The blank mark shall be the key."
"KUSO!!" yelled Yuki as she swung her sword at Ichimaru who easily dodged it. Ichimaru waved a finger at her and said, "Tsk, tsk, Yuki-chan. Ya should learn ya manners." Yuki glared at him and hissed out, "Urusei!" She charged at him again but like always, he always managed to escape. Then he appeared behind the girl and wrapped his hands around her waist. Yuki's eyes widened before struggling to get out of the traitor's grasp. "Yare, yare, stop moving Yuk-chan." smirked Ichimaru. The captain growled at him and then felt something strange. Her eyes widened as Ichimaru merely smirked. She looked up at Ichigo who was now twirling his zanpaku-to. "ICHIGO!!" she yelled.
Hitsugaya and Naito winced as blood started to drip off of their wounds. Ichigo headed towards them again but this time something happened as Hitsugaya used his sword to protect him. A bright light blinded Ichigo causing the orange-haired boy to stop his attack and crash onto the ground. The two captains blink before they heard yells of pains. Hitsugaya clenched his teeth and looked back at Ichigo who was screaming.
Urahara looked at Yoruichi who nodded. "The water of those that heal..." she started as a circle of light appeared around her feet.
Yuki watched with wide eyes as she watched Ichigo scream in pain. Her eyes widened more as the mark suddenly disappeared and two black wings started to grow from his back. She felt Ichimaru let go of her and the only thing she could do was watch. "Wow...that some power, eh? Yuki-chan?" asked Ichimaru against her ear. Yuki glared at him but then she heard someone yell, "CHIYU GOGYOU!! (Healing Water)" It hit directly at Ichigo but a barrier appeared around him causing the attack to stop. "Hadamahi (Body Paralysis)." muttered Ichimaru's voice. Her eyes widened as she felt her body go numb.
Hitsugaya's eyes widened as two wings came out from Kurosaki's back. "The blank mark." he heard Ichigo mutter. Then, his eyes widened in realization. He yelled, "Ichigo! Don't use the power of that mark! Please!!" Naito sent a pleading look to Yoruichi who looked shock and Urahara whose eyes were wide. Hitsugaya gritted his teeth
as he thought, 'I really hoped that I didn't have to use it but now I guess that I have no choice.' He grabbed his zanpaku-to and jumped above Ichigo. He saw the mark barely but he put his fore and middle finger at the end of the sword and said, "With the powers of the water and ice within the air, come to help thy seal the holy mark of the dragon. Natsuin no Yajuu! (Seal of the Beast)" With that, he stabbed Ichigo's back with the end of his sword.
Ichigo screamed for the final time as his wings vanished into thin air and he fell unconscious. Then he felt a gust of wind pass through. He looked and his eyes widened as did Naito's. "Yuki!"
Yuki was being held bridal-style by Ichimaru with her eyes blank and cold. Ichimaru grinned at them while adjusting her weight. "Yare, yare, ya'll are too slow." grinned Ichimaru opening his eyes. Hitsugaya glared at him and said, "Let her go." "Hm...I don't think I wanna." replied Ichimaru childishly. Hitsugaya growled at him and was about to attack but a negation appeared around the two. He stopped and watched in anger as he watch Ichimaru and Yuki go up. "See ya later Hitsugaya-kun!!" smiled Ichimaru.
Hitsugaya glared at him before turning to see Ichigo waking up. "What?" muttered the orange-haired boy. Naito helped Ichigo up before turning to Hitsugaya and everyone else. Hitsugaya sighed and asked, "Are you okay Kurosaki?" "Y-Yeah." replied Ichigo painfully. Hitsugaya looked at him in concern before looking at Yoruichi and Urahara. They nodded and went to help them.
Hueco Mundo: Aizen's Palace
"I see you brought Yuki here Ichimaru." stated Aizen as he watched Ichimaru walk in with Yuki. Ichimaru merely grinned and replied, "I just can't resist Aizen-taichou. She's just too cute for her own good." "And you're lucky that I wasted all of my reiatsu bastard." growled Yuki angrily. Ichimaru merely smiled before he noticed Ulqiuorra and Tousen. Tousen saw Yuki and asked, "Yuki?" "Tousen." snarled Yuki. Ichimaru grinned and asked, "How'd ya like my present Tousen?" "Urusai Ichimaru." said Tousen in that cold, emotionless voice of his. Yuki rolled her eyes as Ichimaru and Tousen started to argue. "Poor kid." snickered a voice. Yuki glanced over her shoulder to see an arrancar with teal hair and a hollow mask covering half of his face.
Yuki narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who are you?" "Grimmjaw Jaggerjack." answered the arrancar in boredom. The current captain of the 5th division sighed in annoyance and glanced back at the two traitors. She questioned, "Are they always like this?" The arrancar shrugged. He replied, "Most of the time." 'Great.' thought Yuki bitterly.
Karakura Town
Ichigo was in the room with Yoruichi while Hitsugaya, Naito, and Urahara waited. Naito turned to Urahara and asked, "What is the blank mark?" "The blank mark is a very difficult mark. It causes the one with the Seal to go completely insane. Thank goodness that Hitsugaya-kun used that technique." smiled Urahara. Hitsugaya scoffed but then he heard the door opening. Yoruichi walked out with sweat dripping off of her face. "That bastard..." she muttered angrily. Hitsugaya blinked and asked, "What is it Yoruichi-san?" The former captain of the 2nd division replied, "Ichigo's fine. It's the blank mark that I'm worried about."
Naito blinked in confusion. She asked, "What're you worried about Yoru-neesama?" Yoruichi gave a concern look and Hitsugaya widened his eyes slightly. Yoruichi replied, "The blank mark. I'm starting to have a feeling that Aizen planned this all out." "No..." breathed out Hitsugaya.
Soul Society
"GOMENASAI!!!" yelled Renji with tears coming out of his eyes. Zaraki grinned evilly and replied, "No can do Abarai. You've done something and now you must pay the consequences." Let's make you less confuse shall we? Renji ran for his life but Byakuya and Komamura caught him due to their speed. Soi Fong, Zaraki, and even Ukitake beat the living crap out of him causing him to have a few broken bones and such. Kurotsuchi injected several needles into his abdomen causing the redhead to scream like a girl. Kyoraki tortured him by doing unnessecary things...(me: i refuse to even try to describe something for him.) Yamamoto nearly burnt him to crisp and now all the captains tied him tightly to the edge of Soukyoko.
Renji yelled, "PLEASE GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!!!!" Soi Fong smirked and replied, "Like Zaraki said Abarai. No can do." "I suggest you be quiet or else Abarai-san." muttered Byakuya coldly. Renji, who didn't hear his captain, started to yell. This irritated Soi Fong, Kurotsuchi, Byakuya, and Yamamoto to no end. Byakuya began first. "Senbonzakura." muttered the noble. "AH!!!!" yelled Renji as it was heard throughout Soul Society and probably could be even heard in Hueco Mundo.
Hueco Mundo
"Aw...but Tousen...you know how much I want to spend some time with Yuki-chan." pouted Ichimaru. Yuki sighed in annoyance and rubbed her temples. They've been arguing ever since she got here! And...to make matters worse...she befriended the psychotic arrancar. You should know by now. It was Grimmjaw Jaggerjack and even Ulquiorra. Grimmjaw muttered, "Crazy ex-captains who can't decide what to choose or do!" "Urusei." muttered Ulquiorra coldly. Yuki rolled her eyes and said, "Can't they just decide on something?" This brought the same think into everyone's minds. When will Tousen and Ichimaru ever decide on something? Then...everyone sighed knowing that this is useless.
