Bleach: Gishi Kasetsu

Chapter 2

"Whew," huffed Ichigo. "That guy wasn't too hard using my bankai." Ichigo stumbled onto a nearby bench and sat down. "Shit," whispered Ichigo. He had almost forgot he was pierced through the stomach with the hollows giant tongue.

Ichigo walked back home sometime later.

"Stupid Kon," exclaimed Ichigo. "What the hell are you doing now? You make me look like a pervert."

Kon was in the living room watching the bikini swimsuit festival on TV. "Oh come on, everyone's a pervert at heart, Ichigo. Don't start thinking your not!"

"Shut up Kon," demanded Ichigo. "I need you to get the hell out of my body. And turn that crap off."

"Fine. Fine," said Kon. "But don't think I'm not going to watch it! I still am."

"Fine, whatever. Just do it in your stupid teddy bear body," insisted Ichigo.

Ichigo pulled the pill from his own corpse and placed it into the teddy bear.

"Are you sure you don't want to watch this with me Ichigo?" asked Kon.

"Yeah, I'm sure," said Ichigo. "I'm just going to go upstairs."

"Your so boring Ichigo," sighed Kon. "Why don't you just take the box of nails your dad bought and cut yourself too? You little emo."

"Do you ever stop talking Kon?" declared Ichigo. "If you don't shut up, I'm going to stick all those nails in you."

Ichigo went upstairs and opened up his door. To his amazement, he saw a short-looking person. He was a soul reaper, he could tell by his clothes.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?" said the kid.

"I should be asking you that," said Ichigo. "How the hell did you get here, and why the hell are you in my room?"

"I traveled all the way here to kill that hollow," said the kid with ferocity. "That hollow was supposed to be my kill."

"And why the hell do you think that?" commanded Ichigo. "I got to it first, so it was mine. It's just a hollow, get over it and go back to the soul society you twerp."

The kid stood up from Ichigo's bed. "That hollow murdered over twelve soul reapers."

"So?" said Ichigo. 'It's a good thing I killed it then. It got what it deserved."

"You don't understand," claimed the kid with his fist tightened. "One of the soul reapers he killed…was my sister!"

"Wha…what?" stuttered Ichigo. "I see. So you held a personal grudge against him, right?"

"Yes," said the kid. "And I vowed, that even if it killed me, I would slay that hollow with my own two hands!"

Ichigo stared at the kid in silence for a while. "I'm sorry. I didn't know killing that hollow meant so much to you. I didn't even know there was someone like you looking for a hollow. I just used my instincts and killed it like any other hollow."

The kid unsheathed his zanpaku-to. "I don't want your apologies. You killed the hollow, the one thing I've really wanted to do for a long time. I swore that I would kill it. Revenge has been eating me alive for years, and I knew it! Prepare yourself, soul reaper. I will kill you!"

The child charged at Ichigo and attempted to slash Ichigo down.

Ichigo quickly dodged from the child's blow. "Shit," gasped Ichigo.

"I don't think so," said the kid. The kid kicked Ichigo through his second floor window.

Ichigo tried to catch himself in the air, but didn't do too well. Ichigo landed on the hard concrete in the road at least fifteen feet away from his house. "Fuck. That hurt." Ichigo's right arm was bleeding, and his pant leg ripped, leaving the skin under it shredded.

The child jumped from the window and watched Ichigo carefully. "Hurry up and turn soul reaper, otherwise I'd be boring trying to kill you."

"You little bitch," stuttered Ichigo. "You're going to pay for that. I told you I'm sorry, and you destroy my room and kick me from the second story window? You're worse than a hollow. I'm going to kick your little ass all the way back to the soul society." Ichigo turned soul reaper, and unsheathed his sword. "Ready to get your ass kicked?"

"Are you ready to get your head ripped from its collar?" asked the kid in a cruel manner.

The child charged at Ichigo and swung his zanpaku-to downward towards Ichigo, but Ichigo blocked it with his huge blade. Ichigo spun around and sliced the kid in two. The imagery of the kid disappeared as soon as it was cut.

"What the hell?" puzzled Ichigo.

"Over here dick head!" screamed the kid.

The child slashed towards the ground, causing the ground to crack towards Ichigo. Ichigo jumped in the air and sought to cut the kid, but he blocked the blade, and kicked Ichigo downward into the cracked earth. Ichigo fell inward the cracked earth.

"Tsk," claimed the kid. "Dead already? What a waste."

Smoke spurred from the depths of the fractured earth while Ichigo emerged from the ground wearing a black cloak, and wielding a smaller blade zanpaku-to. He used bankai.

"It's not over yet, punk!" screamed Ichigo.

Ichigo used his flash step to get closer towards the kid whilst the boy was confused. Ichigo cut the kids arm, but not severely. He was holding back. The kid knew it.

"Fuck you Ichigo!" shouted the kid. "You should've finished me while you had the chance! Why didn't you? Why!" the boy was freaking out.

"Your one fucked up kid," declared Ichigo. "I'm not going to kill you. You've gone through so much. I do however, want you to leave, and find something to do for the rest of your life. Never come back."

"Don't you dare…" demanded the kid. "Don't you dare take pity on me. It will be your friends and loved ones that will feel pity for you! When you're dead!" The boy raised his zanpaku-to in the air, and shook it furiously. "Bankai!"

Red moist air filled around the child. Ichigo was surprised, almost nervous that such a small kid could have achieved bankai. It was as amazing as Toshiro knowing bankai. The air cleared around the child, and his hair had turned red. Previously, it was black, but now it was dark auburn colored. Other than his hair changed to red, nothing else seemed different. But Ichigo knew that since the kid used his bankai, the kid was going to be much tougher than what he was already.

"Heh," smirked Ichigo. "You've achieved bankai at such a young age? You really are good. But before we conclude this battle, what is your name?"

The child made a harsh expression. "Well, considering that your going to die, I might as well tell you Ichigo Kurosaki. My name is Akuma Kanashimi."

"I see," said Ichigo. The name suits you well "demon sorrow".

Ichigo used his flash step again, and tried to confuse Akuma, but it didn't work. Akuma did not react until Ichigo came on his from behind. Akuma used his own flash step, and he was good. He made it seem as if there were twenty of him all around Ichigo, and all of them enclosed on Ichigo.

"Not good enough!" blurted Ichigo.

Ichigo swung his blade around and cut all the flash step illusions. The real Akuma appeared in Ichigo's face and slashed him in the shoulder. If Ichigo hadn't blocked the sword with his shoulder, he could have got his heart cut out. Ichigo jumped back onto a car and felt for the blood seeping through his clothes.

"Shit," said Ichigo. "He got me."

Akuma stared at Ichigo's wound and grinned.

"You put yourself in an extremely dangerous position Kurosaki," declared Akuma with a sinful smirk. Akuma raised his blade in the air and held it high. "It's over Kurosaki, see you in the soul society soon. Flow…Totsunyuu hayase niiro chi taiga (Rushing Rapids of the Red Blood River)!

A/N:This concludes the second chapter of Bleach: Gishi Kasetsu. I know, I hope you feel somewhat exhilarated after reading this chapter, but if you have, its probably also making you very anxious to see the third chapter! But fear not, the third chapter will be up soon enough. I'm going to try to average about 1200-1500 words per chapter every week (Not including the authors notes). I hope you stick around to read the third chapter of my story. Thank you all!
