Chapter 4

Inner Power

Disclaimer Blah: I don't own bleach, but if I did Ichigo's sisters would be kick ass awesome!

Rating Blah: M *Because I said so damn it!!!!!!!!! JK : ) for sex, swearing, violence, and all that good stuff.

Author's note blah: so here's the exiting fight to the death. Mwhahaha! Who will win? Who will die? The next chapter should be up in like a day. I'm editing it. There is yoai in here, if you're uncomfortable with that go someplace else. Flames will result in a hollow turning you into a naidaifu. However, encouraging comments and constructive criticism are always welcome.

"Bankai!" Ichigo cried as Grimmjaw sneered at him.

"You going to kick my ass shinigami?" the teal man chided menacingly. "Looks like your sisters will make perfect additions to my little army." Ichigo's blood boiled as he lowered his hollow mask, allowing hichigo to meld with him. 'We got this King. Let's kick his ass,' growled his inner hollow. Zangetsu sent a hum through his hand in agreement.

"Let's go." Ichigo took up his fighting stance as Grimmjaw released his cat form. The two flew at each other. They moved so fast it was hard to keep up. A flash of sword, a slashing claw, or a flicker of body was all that you could make out of the two battling men.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Renji destroyed several more of the naidaifu, Chad beside him. The living humans were doing their best to defend themselves against the reanimated corpses. To them the scene was like doomsday, when the dead walked the earth. Many of the cities inhabitants had barracked themselves inside shrines.

Uryu had taken residence on top of a building raining down arrows. Orihime used her healing abilities behind him, desperately trying to mend a large gash across Rukia's chest. There were just too many of naidaifu to handle.

Thump Thump Thump

Orihime and Uryu looked up at a military helicopter that rained down bullets on the naidaifu.

"I think the only good thing about this, is the fact that living people can see them and get out of the way," said Renji to Chad as he sliced through a naidaifu with orange hair. The color sent a pang through his worried heart. He had felt his lover's rietsu flare not that long ago.

He threw Zambumaru at a hollow as it attempted to take over a man that was struggling in its grasp. The bullets might destroy the bodies but the hollows were able to leave and take over others. He couldn't keep this up forever. Renji's arm was already tiring and he knew Chad and Uryu were losing rietsu as well.

"Howl Zambumaru!"

Yuzu stabbed her knife through another naidaifu's heart. Karin threw up her soccer ball and drove it into the hollow that appeared from the body. If only they had some proper zanpaktu.

"Karin," called the voice in her head. The older twin ignored it angrily. She hated the voice. She'd been hearing it for ages and it was getting stronger.

"Call my name. I know you can. Protect your sister."

"Get out of my head. Leave me alone." Her soccer ball landed on a powerful hollow. Her weak attack only annoyed the creature, and it turned to the twins. Yuzu looked for her father and Kon, but they had been drawn away by the battle. Karin took up a protective stance in front of her.

"I…." Karin faltered.

"Call my name!" The monster took a step closer to its prey.

"I…" Karin growled, "Blow Unidotaihou!" A long gleaming sword appeared in her right hand. It was curved into a long hook that extended out several feet in front of her, and was blood red. Karin stared down at the blade she had called into existence.

The beast before her snarled, "A zanpaktu?! How can a weakly human like you have shinigami powers?"

"Guess I get it from Dad's side of the family," she retorted and jumped into the air slicing through the beast.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Ichigo felt Karin's reitsu skyrocket. He glanced down momentarily to see his baby sister slice through a hollow with a red zanpaktu.

"Karin?"

"Focus shinigami!" cried Grimmjaw as he lunged at Ichigo, leaving a large gash in his arm. The two were bloodied and beaten. Already half of Ichigo's hollow mask had disintegrated, and his body was starting to tire. He winced at the new injury.

Grimmjaw laughed happily. Ichigo released another burst of energy which Grimmjaw dodged easily.

"Common shinigami. You can do better than that. Dazzle me!" Grimmjaw stared hungrily at his opponent. Ichigo shunpoed to him throwing several swings, only one hitting the cat like man.

That was when he felt it. A powerful rietsu moved quickly to stand behind him. He turned only to have a sword plunge into his stomach. Looking up Ichigo stared wide eyed at his attacker, Gin.

"You!" Ichigo spat out blood. He attempted to stay up, but Gin twisted the blade in his gut causing the victim to scream in pain. His body slumped over then gracefully fell.

"ICHIGO!" screamed Renji feeling Ichigo's rietsu drop alarmingly fast. He shunpoed towards his lover faster then he ever had in his life. He saw Ichigo's decent and caught him, gently cradling the bloodied body in his arms. He was covered in blood and the wound in his stomach made Renji pale.

"Renji, I…love you," whispered Ichigo. He had lost so much blood that his vision was starting to fade. Renji watched in horror as Ichigo passed out in his arms. He glanced up to see Gin's bloodied blade.

"Gin! I'll kill you, bastard!" screamed Renji. The ex-captain and espada disappeared into Hueco Mundo. He felt the remaining naidaifu disappear into the realm as well, following their masters.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Yes I just gave Karin powers, and you'll find out why real soon.

Note: Unidotaihou = Wind Cannon
