The One Who Saved Them All

A/N: I'm getting kind of sleepy so I'm not sure if I'll have the next chapter up tonight but if not tomorrow.

Disclamer: I don't own Bleach but I own the name of Kenpachi's sword.

Note: I'm not sure if the name I picked REALLY means what I say it does so...yeah...

"YES! IT'S DONE!" the sleep-deprived voice of Urahara Kisuke yelled. It's been 4 days and he hasn't slept at all. All he's been doing is working on this invention of his and has not allowed anyone to visit him since Hitsugaya. He had a very tight deadline and he made it was a few days to spare.

"Thank you for coming on such short notice," Yamamoto has said an hour after Kisuke had finished his project. Kisuke requested an emergency captain's meeting so he could show his invention.

"You actually inventing something that WON'T kill us all?!" Mayuri asked.

"I know! It's amazing!" Kisuke said, rolling his eyes.

"Well, let's see it, Mr. Genius." Kisuke pushed back one of his sleeves to reveal a gray bracelet. "A bracelet…? You're lamer then I thought!"

"To you it's a bracelet. But it's not activated yet." Everyone watched closely. "Awaken, Benihime." He snaped his fingers and his zanpakuto and the gray bracelet started to glow crimison. A crmison light came from the zanpakuto and where the light hit, a very beautiful woman stood. She had long, flowing crimison hair and matching eyes. She was dressed like a princess and her kimino was different shades of red.

Everyone was gasping.

"As you can tell, this is Benihime. As you all know, inside your soul, your zanpakuto takes on a human or animal form that can talk to you when your in the relem in your soul and is always with you. What I invented makes it so that form in your soul takes form in the real world. They have powers that are beyond that of even Bankai and will be of great use during our battle. Plus you can communite telepathically and that will work as an advantage during a fight. All you need to do is have the bracelet on, call the name of your zanpakuto like you would in battle and snap your fingers. And if you don't need them anymore snap your fingers again and they will return."

"That's amazing, Uharaha-taicho!" Yamamoto complimated.

"S'not that amazing," Mayuri whispered to himself, burning with envy that he didn't think to make something like that.

"Thank you," Kisuke said. "I've made enough for all ranking officers, plus a lot incase they break." Kisuke passed them out and when he came to Kenpachi, he stopped. "Zaraki-taicho, I've heard from Kurosaki-kun that you don't know the name of your zanpakuto, correct?"

"So what?" Kenpachi asked, his arms crossed.

"I think I can help fix that. Do you know the huge training grounds?"

"What about them?"

"Meet me there at 7."

"Why should I?"

"You want to learn your zanpakuto's name, correct?"

"A little but I don't care that much."

"It'll make you stronger!" Everyone in the room was trying to shut Kisuke up. A stronger Kenpachi?! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

"Stronger, eh? You're on!"

---

"Zaraki-taicho! Welcome!" Kisuke welcomed later that night. He noticed the huge man was wearing the bracelet Kisuke made. "Did you pass those out to everyone else in your squad?"

"Yeah they all like them a lot. Now is this going to take long?" Kenpachi asked.

"That depends on you."

"What?"

"I want you to stab yourself through the heart with your zanpakuto."

"…100 years in the real world must have made you loopy! I'm not gonna STAB MYSELF IN THE HEART!"

"Suit yourself. Kurosaki-kun has done it multiple times." And with that comment, Kenpachi stabbed himself.

Kenpachi's Soul World

When Kenpachi came too, he was in a very dark world where the buildings and clouds where all sideways.

"How odd…" he said out loud.

"So…you finally show yourself, Zaraki Kenpachi," a voice said.

"Who's there?"

"Me." Zaraki then saw a very dark skinned man with equally dark hair. He was dressed in black pants, a black shirt, and a black overcoat. He also had sunglasses.

"Are you my…?"

"Yes. I am."

"Can you tell me your name?"

"Possibly."

"What does that mean."

"What will you use my power for?"

"Well…"

"If you say to fight I won't give it to you. You need a heart-filled reason. Someone you want to protect."

Kenpachi thought. Protect? He never protected anyone, even himself. He fought without thinking all the time, for fun but…he thought of all those in Squad 11 and Yachiru, who was basically his daughter. And Ichigo. He needed to protect him from others so Kenpachi could do the honor of beating him up! And that Inoue girl. Yachiru would be sad if anything happened to her.

"Well, Kenpachi. What is your reason for fighting with me?"

"I want to protect my squad and my 'daughter' along with others outside squad who I consider to be my friends."

"Good answer." The man took his glasses off and started hard at Kenpachi was startling red eyes.

In Soul Society

Kenpachi opened his eyes to a smiling Kisuke.

"Well?" he asked.

"I'm not sure," Kenpachi responded.

"Try."

Kenpachi took his zanpakuto and cleared his thought, feeling kind of foolish.

"Fight, Akayumiyahachiman (Meaning: Red God of War)." Kenpachi's sword looked less dull and looked like it was made out of a stronger material then it use to and had a hit of red, like it was stained with blood.

"Wow…that's a long name!" Kisuke said. "But congrats! Try the bracelet!"

"You're a funny little man, aren't you?"

"Yes I am!" Kenpachi rolled his eyes.

"Fight, Akayumiyahachiman." He snapped his fingers his zanpakuto and the bracelet started glowing red and the figure from Kenpachi's world appeared.

"Excellent!" Kisuke said. "You're more then ready to fight."

"I was born ready," Kenpachi and Akayumiyahachiman said together.
