Chapter 4: Death VS Petals

The two combatants stood opposite each other. They stared each other down, Byakuya glaring and Ichigo just giving a cocky smile.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura." Byakuya said as his sword began to dissolve into thousands of flower petals. Ichigo chuckled and quickly opened fire at the Captain, but much to surprise the flower petals moved to shield him. It made little difference as Ichigo's Spirit Bullets plowed through the petals and struck Byakuya in the both shoulders and in his left forearm. The head of the Kuchiki clan growled in pain as Ichigo jumped onto the railing of the bridge and said,

"How about we take this somewhere a little more interesting?" The orange-haired reaper then leaped down to the ground below, a 100 story drop. Ichigo landed then disappeared and then reappeared a few miles away, leaving a trail of his reiatsu for Byakuya to follow. Byakuya was barely holding in his anger as he Shunpoed after his opponent.


Byakuya followed Ichigo to a forest. The Captain was wary and moved with caution.

"Feeling nervous?" Ichigo's voice called out, seemingly from all directions. Byakuya actually was getting nervous, as he couldn't find Ichigo's reiatsu signature anymore. A twig snapped, and Byakuya sent his flower petals toward a bush and shredded it to pieces.

"I'll take that as a yes. It's understandable. I mean after all, you are facing someone about a million times stronger than you." Ichigo's voice called out again. Byakuya was still unable to find the teen, and was also getting angry at how he was being toyed with.

"Come out. You wanted to fight, so let me kill you and get it over with." Byakuya said as he continued to search for orange-haired reaper.

"Slow down, you haven't even seen my Bankai yet. Can't have much fun with The Kid still being in Shikai." Ichigo said as he suddenly appeared behind Byakuya and blasted his reiatsu, doing a good job of knocking the Captain down. Byakuya got up and glared as he said,

"I believe that you have Shikai as you're zanpakuto has changed, but Bakai takes years to master." Ichigo laughed and replied,

"Years? It took me a total of three months. You wouldn't believe how much The Kid goes on and on about symmetry, the first month of training with him I had to learn to stand perfectly symmetrical!" Byakuya kept his face emotionless, but mentally sweat drop at this tidbit of information.

"Anyway, I'll show you a Bankai I just know you'll love!" Ichigo said as he twirled his guns and them up in the air and caught them, holding them upside down with his pinkies on the triggers.

"Bankai." Ichigo said as an eruption of black and red energy filled the area, kicking up large amounts of dust. Ichigo stepped out of the dusty area. He basically looked the same, but his pistol had changed into large cannons that covered much of Ichigo's forearms with the same skull symbol on them that he had as a tie. Black rods had also appeared on the back of Ichigo's arms. The orange-haired reaper simply said,

"Death The Kid." Naming his Bankai form. Byakuya simply scoffed and replied,

"From your talk I was expecting more." Ichigo chuckled and said,

"Trust me, you won't be disappointed." The orange-haired reaper then quickly pointed one of the cannons at the head of the Kuchiki clan and shouted,

"DEATH CANNON!" And a gigantic blast of red and black energy fired out of the cannon. The attack came with such speed that Byakuya couldn't dodge and took the attack head on. The entire area where Ichigo had aimed his attack at was totally demolished, miles of trees were destroyed and a large trench laid before him. Ichigo walked up to the start of the trench and saw one unconscious and heavily bleeding Byakuya Kuchiki. Ichigo reverted his Death The Kid back to Shikai, as he looked down at the Captain.

"Just be glad I didn't use Death Cannon at full power." Ichigo said as every other Captain of the Seireitei, even Head-Captain Yamamoto, and Lieutenant appeared behind him.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, you and your allies are hereby placed under arrest for crimes against the Soul Society." Yamamoto ordered the young reaper. Ichigo holstered his guns and then reached into his jacket. He pulled out a piece of paper and said,

"I'm sure you remember the contract the Seireitei signed with my Father?" The other Captains looked to each other, obviously confused, but Yamamoto knew exactly what Ichigo was talking about.

"The Seireitei shall govern themselves, on the condition that Death be allowed to reverse any action taken by the Seireitei should it displease him. Also any and all agents of Death are above the laws of the Soul Society and have diplomatic immunity." Ichigo read, earning many shocked looks.

"My friends and I are all agents of Death, which means you have no authority as far as we're concerned. And, as I told Laughing Boy here, my Father isn't at all pleased with the order to execute Rukia Kuchiki." Yamamoto growled as he said,

"Very well. The execution of Rukia Kuchiki is rescinded." Ichigo just smirked in victory, as Captain Soifon suddenly said,

"Are we really going to be threatened by this child?" Yamamoto simply replied,

"He is not only an agent of Death, but he is also Death's son, we have no choice but to comply." Ichigo turned to look back down at Byakuya and said,

"Better get him to a doctor." Suddenly one Captain Retsu Unohana appeared next to Byakuya and began to treat him.

"I suppose since you're mission is complete, you'll be leaving the Soul Society?" Yamamoto asked, really hoping that Ichigo would do just that. The son of Death stretched his arms before putting his hands in his pockets as he thought.

"Nah, I think I'll stay for the Summer." Ichigo said nonchalantly as the Captains began to sweat drop at this.

"My friends and I could use a guide to show us around, so..." Ichigo continued then began looking at the group of Shinigami and then noticed someone in the back, a rather tall, young looking woman with gray eyes and short messy silver hair with strands on the right side of her face that were shoulder length and styled as two thin braids.

"What's your name?" Ichigo asked the girl, pointing to her. Taken aback, the girl stuttered out,

"I-Isane K-Kotetsu, Lieutenant of t-the Fourth D-Division." Ichigo gave a smile and said,

"Well then, I'm sure you'll make a perfect guide. Now I don't know about you all, but I could use something to eat, so if Isane would show me to the nearest restaurant?" Isane just nodded rapidly and said,

"I know a place near here." Ichigo walked up to her, matching her height, and said,

"Well then, let's go get my friends and then get something to eat." The two then left, leaving the Captains and other Lieutentants in utter-shock.

"Well that happened." Captain Kyoraku said as he took out a bottle of sake and took a swig.
