Author's Notes: First off, I want to say I am little rusty and trying to recall where I was going with this story. Second, I hope everyone still enjoys this chapter, and please leave a review and let me know.
Chapter 5- The White Snake
Orochimaru lunged towards Dante with mouth wide open. His becoming more and more snakelike as he approached. Dante turned towards Orochimaru, readying Rebellion. The distance between the two was closing quickly.
"What the hell is that thing!?" Ichigo exclaimed as the snake like individuals body began slithering after its stretched out neck.
Ichigo moved at blazing speeds and sliced completely through Orochimarus neck halfway between the head and his shoulders. Orochimarus body went limp and his head fell to the ground a couple of feet in front of Dante.
"Damn, and I thought I was going to have to kill it myself." Dante said as he placed his sword on his back. Dante turned to face the downed Leon who was still under the shelf and relaxed his stance. "We need to get these guys moving." He said dispassionately.
Ichigo relaxed as well, and released his Bankai. As he did so, Zangetsu reverted to its original shape and his rope went back to normal. Placing Zangetsu on his back, Ichigo turned and headed towards Naruto.
Suddenly, an arm holding a sword extended from the still open mouth of Orochimaru. The sword pierced Dantes abdomen as Orochimaru climbed the rest of the way out of his own dead corpse. Blood was dripping from the end of Orochimarus sword. Before either of them could move, Orochimaru extended his neck once again, and bit into the neck of Dante.
Black lines began to move across Dantes body, spreading from the bite. Dante fell to his knees, screaming in pain. Orochimaru ripped his sword out of Dante, and turned to parry Ichigo just as he got there. Quickly, Orochimaru kicked the feet out from under the Soul Reaper. As Ichigo was falling, Orochimaru stabbed his sword towards the heart of Ichigo. Ichigo just barely managed to deflect the blow, causing it to pierce his left shoulder instead. Orochimaru drove the blade further down into his shoulder, pinning him to the ground as Ichigo coughed up blood. Smiling, Orochimaru turned towards the still screaming Dante.
"Now, Dante was it?" Orochimaru said in a serpent like voice, "It's time to make your body mine."
Orochimarus body began to twist and contort. His skin exploded as a giant white snake emerged from his body. The snake was made of several smaller white snakes. The giant snake still had some features of Orochimaru, including black hair spread wildly on top its head. The snake eyes, which were now fully snake eyes still had the purple markings around its eyes pointing towards the snakes nostrils.
Orochimaru lunged towards Dante, who was now surrounded in purple steam and completely covered in the black markings. Dante was no longer screaming, but was unable to move as Orochimaru targeted him. Orochimaru slammed into something with a thud.
Naruto stood in front of Orochimaru holding him in place. Naruto was surrounded in a bubbly, blood red chakra. His eyes were red with slits for pupils. The lines on his face were more pronounced and his teeth sharpened into fangs. His hand had become more claw like in appearance.
"Naruto.." Ichigo began. As if Naruto had not heard him, he cut him off.
"You!" he growled. "Where is Sasuke!?" Naruto dug his hands into Orochimarus oversized snake like face, drawing blood. Naruto slammed his face into the floor over and over, creating a crater.
"Where is he?!" Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs as he continued to slam Orochimaru. Orochimaru suddenly burst into hundreds of smaller white snakes. They slithered away from Naruto and began slithering on top of one another, creating a pile.
The pile turned into Orochimaru as he was before his transformation. Orochimaru moved quickly slithering across the floor as he exclaimed, "Naruto!"
Orochimaru launched from the floor and slammed into Naruto knocking him flying into a wall. Naruto impacted with a thud, but immediately rebounded towards Orochimaru. He grabbed his head and ran dragging his face across the ground, chipping the stone as he went. Dropping him, Naruto went to swing again, but Orochimaru shot several green snakes out of his arm. These snakes wrapped around Naruto and bit into him.
"Those snakes will take all of your chakra." Orochimaru stated. "This time, Nine Tails, you die." He said with a smirk.
Naruto collapsed as the red chakra surrounding slowly faded. The snakes still held on. Leaving him there, Orochimaru ran towards Ichigo, he kicked him in the face, stunning him. Yanking his sword out of Ichigo, Orochimaru headed towards Dante.
"It seems you are too much trouble alive." Orochimaru hissed, "No matter, your body still holds many new discoveries."
Dante was now surrounded in a red aura. As Orochimaru swung his blade towards Dantes neck, an explosion of energy surrounded Dante. The energy surrounding Dante slammed into Orochimaru and Ichigo, sending them both flying. As the energy vanished, a new being replaced Dante.
Dante took on an inhuman appearance. The black marks and the wounds were completely gone. Dantes demon powers had fully awoken. Dante sprinted towards the still flying Orochimaru. Dante moved incredibly fast, and caught up to Orochimaru with ease. He grabbed his face and slammed him into the ground. The force of the slam caused a crater to form under Orochimaru and caused cracks to spread from the floor to the wall.
Orochimaru immediately coughed up blood, and looked at Dante with what could only be described a look of awe on his face. Dante rammed his hand into Orochimarus chest.
"What power.." Orochimaru whispered as he coughed up even more blood. Dante crushed Orochimarus heart in his hand. Orochimaru did not move again. As Dante removed his hand, he reverted back to normal. The curse mark Orochimaru placed on him was completely gone. Dante stared at Orochimaru with ice cold blue eyes.
"What a creep." Dante sighed. "Ichigo, time to get everyone moving." He said as walked over to Naruto and removed the snakes from him, squeezing each one. As they moved to wake the others, Dante tensed. Somebody was standing behind him. Turning around, he said, "Virgil, old buddy."
