Chapter Three We've Arrived
"Why is that thing chasing us?" cried Orihime as we ran from a "cleaner" which is what Yoruichi called it. "How should I know Orihime? Just keep running it's gaining on us." "Bill don't yell at Orihime." said Ichigo as we ran. "We're almost there, so get ready." spoke Yoruichi as the cat ran.
When we reached the light at the end of the tunnel we found ourselves on the outside of the soul society where soul reapers stay. "Well now that we're here let's get in." said Ichigo as he walked towards the gate. "Halt intruders, nobody gets past Jidanbo the gatekeeper." "I'll handle this guys. So stay back." "Bill do you think you can take him?" asked Orihime as I stepped forward. I turned and nodded my head before unsheathing my zanpakutou.
"Let my soul become my sword and my spirit slay my foes, Delin." as my Shikai appeared Uryuu spoke up and said "Ichigo do you fell the spiritual pressure emanating from Bill's zanpakutou?" "Yes I do Uryuu, it sort of feels like that of a hollow's." Jidanbo laughed and said "what a weak looking zanpakutou, I'll crush you and your friends." He swung his huge weapons at me. I stared at the attack before I held my zanpakutou up to block. When he hit my zanpakutou I placed my left hand on the hilt and swapped it from my right hand to my left.
I then placed my right hand into my zanpakutou's spiritual blade and grabbed some and pulled it out and closed my hand around it. My hand then started to glow red and I focused the energy into my fingertip and said "hado zero form one, spiritual beam." The energy fired from my finger in a thin beam through Jidanbo's weapon shattering it and barely missing his head. Jidanbo looked at his broken weapons and said something before opening the gate. When he did a man wearing the same kind of clothing as Byakuya walked up. "Captain Gin!" said Jidanbo in surprise. "Well it seems we have a traitor." After he said that he attacked Jidanbo and the gate fell. Orihime healed Jidanbo and we wandered for awhile until ran into a guy named Ganju Shiba. He lead us to his older sister who's name I didn't hear because of the lack of energy I had from my attack.
A few days passed and we were inside the Flower Crane Cannon and we were fired in to the soul reaper area. "Focus my spiritual pressure into the sphere. Crap did I just hear a crack in the shield?" It turns out as I thought that the shield shattered and everyone was sent flying. As I fell I saw everyone land in different places than me, I then hit the ground and blacked out. When I awoke I was in Squad Four's medical barracks. "How are you feeling Ryoka?" said the woman standing over me. She wore the same clothes as Captain Byakuya and Gin. "You were found outside these barracks with a severe head injury. You seem to have healed without any medical attention." "I didn't even know that I hit my head when I hit the ground, and I the injury was as severe as she said then how did I heal so fast?" "Are you ok? You seem to be spacing out."
"I best act polite to her seeing as she hasn't chained me up or killed me yet." "Yes ma'am, I'm fine. I was just thinking about what you said to me." After I said that Captain Byakuya walked through the door, "Captain Byakuya, we meet again." "How do you know my name Ryoka?" "I don't think I can tell you that." Well then can tell me how you came here?" "I came here from the world of the living Captain." "Well even if that's true, it doesn't matter. Head captain Yamamoto wants to speak one on one to the Ryoka." After he said that Yamamoto walked into the room. "I wish to speak without anyone listening to us." said the old man in a gruff voice.
Right after everyone left he looked at me and I felt his gaze pierce my very being. "I heard about your zanpakutou from Captain Kuchiki. I wish to see this zanpakutou in person." After he said those words he grabbed me and flash-stepped outside to a uninhabited area. "Now Ryoka show me your sword." I stared at him for a few seconds before Byakuya flash-stepped to watch. "Well I better do as he says, even if I die, at least I kept the leader busy enough for the chance of the others success to rise." "Very well, Head Captain, you wanted it you got it. Let my soul become my sword and my spirit slay my foes." "Bill, be careful this old man is beyond your strength." "Delin, Kyo, I know but I won't back down, I owe my life to Rukia. I'll do anything to help her." "Well then Bill, seeing as that is how you feel why don't you use me too." "Kyo what do you mean?" "Bill when I said that you are a unique soul reaper because you have two unconnected zanpakutou personalities, I meant that your zanpakutou has two different forms in Shikai."
After Kyo said this my zanpakutou had already powered up. "Well it seems you were right Captain Kuchiki, his zanpakutou makes him give off a small amount of spiritual pressure like a hollow." "Bill in order to unsheathe me is to stab your heart with Delin. Then turn and say, Let my darkness cloud out the light in my heart, Kyo." "Alright Kyo I'll do it." I then held up Delin and stabbed my heart and repeated what I was told to say, "let my darkness cloud out the light in my heart, Kyo." After I said this I felt as if my body was on fire and saw that my body was changing. I once again took the form of Kyo.
"What is going on?" cried the Head Captain as I looked at him through my crimson eyes. "Reduce all creation to ashes Ryujjin Jakka." The sword he was holding began to burn and he slash at me with the flaming sword. I flew into the air to dodge and landed behind him. "Bill use my zanpakutou true ability" "Kyo isn't the transformation that true power?" "No, my true power uses you spiritual pressure to fire off a cero like beam." "Alright, Kyo." "Hado zero form Kyo." As I focused the spiritual energy in my open mouth there was a voice behind me "Sting all enemies to death, Suzumebachi." I felt an attempt to pierce my scales. I slapped the assailant with my tail as her zanpakutou failed to pierce me.
When I finished charging I fired a jet black beam that was fired back at me by a white haired Captain. "Ugh, I can't keep this up I've got to escape." "Bill if you don't try to escape you won't be able to help the others." "Surrender Ryoka, and you'll be placed in prison after you're interrogated." "My name is William Gri." "Gri!" cried the Head Captain as he heard my name. Suddenly I couldn't move and I fell to the ground. "Well done Captain Kuchiki." said the Head Captain as he sheathed his zanpakutou and walked towards me. "Permit me to execute this Ryoka Head Captain Yamamoto." asked the woman who tried to stab me. "No Captain Soifon, this person, William needs to be interrogated by myself personally." I was then dragged to a room in the Squad One barracks and placed behind bars. Meanwhile Ichigo had defeated Captain Kenpachi Zaraki and had been rescued by Yoruichi and started his Bankai training.
While back in the world of the living Isshin Kurosaki walked to the Gri house and knocked on the door. "Well if it isn't Isshin. What brings you here?" "I just wanted to see how you were doing since your wife became a hollow before dieing giving birth to Bill." "I'm fine, you were a big help when we needed to give Bill a mortal form." "Yes I remember that day. Have you contacted your family about him?" "No if I did that then he'd surely be killed." "Well you're probably right Robert. Still I wonder how your wife Delin became an Arrancar." "I don't want to talk about it."
After I ended up in my cell I laid down on the extravagant bed and fell asleep. "Bill it's time Delin and I taught you how to use your Bankai." "I'm ready to learn Kyo."
