Dawn of the Dark Shinigami
Chapter 7: Tsukaii's attack! The monstrous Bankai
late at night, the squad 4 members were still busy tending for everyones wounds, Ichigo sat outside the room where Hikari was being operated, itsuki sat beside him, his hair covering his eyes, shades falling over them.
''oh Hikari...'' he mumbled, Ichigo looked at him ''hey, dont worry, she's very strong, she will make it.''
Itsuki clenched his fist and banged it against the wall ''I just dont see how Tsukaii was able too change our minds on the soul society so easy! and you... you got them back too normal... just as easy... am I that weak!''
''its not a weakness'' Ichigo said ''in fact, listening too reason is very good abillity, Hikari clearly... wouldnt listen too any reason... thats why she got hurt... and you didnt.''
''But...'' Itsuki started ''it was me... IT WAS ME WHO HURT HER, ICHIGO!''
Ichigo punched his face ''YOU HAD NO OTHER CHOICE, YOU FOOL!'' Itsuki got up rubbing his cheek ''you didnt have too punch me, you know...'' he said.
''Sorry I just tho-'' Ichigo looked straight behind Itsuki ''and?''
Captain Unohana was standing right behind itsuki ''she's lost a great amount of blood and is very weak, but she's stable and surely is gonna live.''
Itsuki then smiled a little ''thank goodness...'' Captain Unohana smiled ''she's awake, you can go in too see her.''
Itsuki got up and looked at Ichigo ''You coming in?'' he asked
''you go alone first.'' Ichigo replied. Itsuki nodded and walked in.
''Hi-hikari?'' Itsuki stuttered as he came in and looked at her laying in the bed.
''Itsuki...'' She whispered. Itsuki's eyes went a bit wider ''hikari! how are you feeling'' he ran over too her bed as she turned too look his way. ''I am feeling lots better...now I see that you are here...Itsuki'' she said.
''Hikari... I am so sorry! I-I didnt want too be so mean too you...'' Itsuki replied, Hikari started laughing a little, which confused Itsuki ''why are you... laughing?''
''You beating me was just a Fluke Itsuki.'' she said laughing. her arrogance surprised Itsuki Completely ''what the...just a fluke?'' he then grinned and started laughing with her ''yea... thats the Hikari I know.''
''I am sorry I attacked you, Itsuki...'' Hikari said and sat up. Itsuki's eyes widened completely as the blankets fell of her, his face going slightly red ''uhm...Hikari...''
''yes Itsuki?'' Hikari asked
Itsuki then pointed at her chest, she looked down too see she was only covered by bandages ''oh that...'' she looked back at Itsuki who had his hand infront of his face but was still peeking by keeping his fingers infront of his eyes split.
''do you like what you see?'' she said the tone in her voice turning ''YOU PERVERT!'' she smacked him then got up too find her kimono and put it on ''there we go, Hikari too the top!''
Itsuki took his hands away from his eyes and looked at her ''Hikari... are you going to...go back too him?''
Hikari looked at Itsuki ''no...he only used me as a shield and stall too get away...'' she sighed ''he has used us all the time...'' Hikari's eyes held flames ''I will help... DESTROYING HIM!''
Itsuki smiled ''now thats the Hikari I know''
Ichigo opened the door ''hey''
Hikari looked up ''hello...Ichigo Kurosaki''
''looks like you're all better then eh?'' Ichigo said
''Yep, better and Ready too fight!'' Hikari said ''on your side of course.''
Ichigo smiled ''great''
in the Depts of the Thundercloud Tsukaii was sitting with his zanpakuto, sheathed against him ''well Primal... looks like its just us now...'' he said, a Flame sparked out of his Zanpakuto and changed shape into a Lion with Fire for manes and Fire at the tip of its tail ''yes, so it seems.''
Tsukaii looked at the Lion ''it doesnt matter... even when I am alone, THE SEIREITEI WILL PAY FOR WHAT THEY DID!''
The Lion looked at Tsukaii ''Yes...Yes they will...'' he spoke in his heavy voice.
Tsukaii stared down from an opening in the cloud, down at the Seireitei.
''I will strike down tomorrow...'' Tsukaii said as the cloud closed.
The Next morning, the Seireitei was peaceful and calm...except for the sound of blades touching eachother.
''I told you it was just a fluke Itsuki!'' Hikari said as she countered Itsuki's strikes time after time.
''I will not be beaten by a girl'' Itsuki called as Hikari disappeared from his sight and reappeared seconds later holding her Zanpakuto next too his neck ''gotcha'' she said and grinned ''if I were really your foe, you'd be dead now.'' with that she took her Zanpakuto away from his neck again.
''That wasnt fair, I wasnt prepared!'' Itsuki Shouted
''its not like a real foe would wait until you're prepared, I simply spotted an opening in your bragging and took advantage of it'' Hikari Explained.
As they continued bettering their fighting techniques Ichigo stepped out and looked at the 2, ''Hey you two, Lunch is ready!'' he called as they both stopped in their tracks and looked at him.
together they walked over ''and what's for lunch?'' Hikari asked while fondling her pockets.
''a lot of stuff, just look inside'' Ichigo replied ''...what are you doing?''
as a reply too that Hikari pulled out Ichigo's Substitute soul reaper badge ''I am sorry for taking it, you can have it back'' she handed Ichigo his badge then ran inside.
Itsuki realized and quickly ran after her ''hey Hikari...Wait up!''
Ichigo looked up at the thundercloud ''something strange is going on... this level of Spirit pressure is rising... is he coming?'' he thought too himself.
the others came outside and also looked up ''this is bad'' Itsuki said ''he's coming... and he's...incredibly strong... I dont know if we can take him...''
the thundercloud evaporated and Tsukaii surrounded by a Red Aura remained.
''Today is the day...THAT THE SEIREITEI WILL PAY!'' he Shouted and striked down right towards the soul reapers who had gathered around.
