My story, "New Ally. Old Friend." is a work in Progress.
I don't own Bleach our any of it's characters. Date is my creation.
I'm proud of how much I've done already XP
Ch.5 More Problems
"Ha! You got me." He said jovialy, flashing another fox-like grin like he showed in class. "Shinigami Date Taizenkaze," he said bowing, "at your service."
Everyone just stared in disbelief at Date. How could he be a shinigami? How could he be a God of Death? Who, or what, is he? He wore a shihakushō like an average shinigami, but it was torn all over the place and he was missing the socks and sandles for some reason.
"Yup, I'm a…" he was cut off by a wild howl from the 2 Hollows he had just injured. "Hang on a second," he told Ichigo and co. "it seems they want to fight big time." He puts a hand on the hilt of his katana, "This should take about three seconds." He started to draw his sword, when he suddenly vanished!
"RRRAAAWWWRRRIIIEEE!!" screemed the 2 Hollows as slashes appeared all over their bodies.
"Well, that didn't take that long." Said Date when he suddenly reappeared, with his Green hilted sword sliding back into its black sheath. "Now, FALL TO PIECES!!" he shouted, clicking his sheath and hand-guard together. With that, the Hollows did literally fall to pieces!
Needless to say, Ichigo and his friend where freaked out now.
"N…no way….He just…totally destroyed those Hollows…like they where nothing…" Ichigo stammered as the pieces slowly began to vanish as the 2 monstrous soul beasts were cleansed by the blade.
Date just ignored their shocked expressions and looked up at the still captive Matsumoto. He put a hand by his mouth and yelled up to her, "HEY! MATSU-CHAN!! NEED A HAND?!"
"Matsu…chan??" everyone thought.
"DAMN YOU, T.K.!! I TOLD YOU TO STOP CALLING ME THAT!!" she yelled back, slightly turning a shade of pink.
"And T.K.??" everyone thought. "They have friend titles for each other?"
"WHATEVER! DO I NEED TO LEND YOU A HAND, OR ARE YOU GOING TO SAVE YOURSELF THIS TIME?!"
"This…time??" everyone thought. "Do these 2 know each other or something?"
"OR SHOULD I WAIT FOR OUR OLD PAL GIN TO SAVE YOU AGAIN?!"
"Old pal Gin?!" everyone thought. "This guy knows Ichimaru Gin?! Who is this guy?"
Ichigo automatically draws his large sword, Zangetsu, and points it at Date. "Hey you!" he yells to get the mop-top's attention.
"Hmmm? What is it? Something I say?" Date asked with a look of confusion on his face.
"Yeah." Said Renji, now pointing his katana, Zabimaru, at the confused mop-top. "You just called Ichimaru Gin by his first name, and with no title. That leaves us to suspect that you are good friends with him."
"Yeah, I'm friends with him. What's up?" Date asked. Suddenly his eyes flashed open, reveling emerald eyes, then he lets out a big sigh as he puts a hand to his face and his eyes go back to there slit position. "Oh boy. Did he get himself in trouble again?"
"Huh? What do you mean?! Of course that bastard is in trouble!" screamed Renji.
"What do you mean? Did I miss something while I was gone?"
"Eh? What do you mean 'while I was gone'?" asked Ichigo.
"OOOHHH!! I GOT IT!!" Shouted Orihime as she jumped in between Date and her friends and dramatically held a finger in the air, looking like she just figured out how to end war and poverty.
"What is it, Inoue-san?" asked Uryu.
"I think I know why he doesn't understand what the situation with Ichimaru is!" she declared and pointed her finger at Date like a character from 'Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney', "You have been cryogenically frozen for the past few years, haven't you?!"
"Uh…Inoue-san? I don't think that is possible, even in Soul Society." said Uryu, pushing his glasses back up his nose.
"Actually, Specs" Uryu flinched at the fact that this stranger just gave him such a rude nickname, "she is correct about me being frozen." He stated calmly.
"WTF?!" was every ones response but Orihime's.
"Only thing wrong is it wasn't a few years, more like 100 years."
"OH WOW! That's amazing!" exclaimed Orihime. Everyone else's mouths just dropped.
"I guess," Date sighed, "even though it was only supposed to be for 10 years." Just then the final Hollow gave an awful inhuman screech that forced everyone to cover their ears. "Awww Shitaki Mushrooms." Sighed Date as he reached for his sword again.
"What's wrong?" asked Rukia.
"It's calling its friends" Date said grimly. As if on cue, 2 dozen more appeared from thin air!
"What in the world?!" shouted Ichigo. He and his friends got in there battle positions ready to fight.
"STAY BACK!" shouted Date.
"WHAT FOR?!" Renji yelled back.
"LET'S GO RENJI!" yelled Ichigo as he ran past Date and charged forward.
"Right!" said Renji as he followed Ichigo. Drawing his free hand across the side of his blade he shouted, " HOWL! ZABIMARU!" All of a sudden, the blade had transformed into what looked like a segmented blade with a pick-like protrusion on each segment!
"KAZESHIHAI!!" shouted Date, swinging his sword.
Before either Ichigo or Renji could get close to the hollows, a strong gust of wind blew them back!
"What in the-OUCH!" Ichigo said as landed square on his behind and then a tumbling Renji came flying into Ichigo's face!
"Hey! What just happened?" questioned Rukia.
"They did not stop when I told them to, so I used my zanpakutō's 'Kazeshihai' (wind control) abbility to make them stop and bring them back." Replied the mop-top calmly.
"So your sword is a wind-based type?" Rukis asked.
"Sure is." Said Date. "Now if you don't mind," he continued, as he began to spin his zanpakutō like a helicopter propeller above his head, "let me call my zanpakutō's name!" The katana began to glow as he shouted, "TAKE FLIGHT!! JOUTENKOU!!
End Ch.5
Sorry it took so long, damn high school. XP
To let you know, Joutenkou means; Imperial Sky Lord (based on what I put together XP)
In the next Chapter, we see Joutenkou's shikai form. Any one wanna take a wild guess at it is?
