Chapter 3: The Sword Vs The Venerables
Part 1: The little brothers
Inside Kusa's Black Void
Kusa was once again walking around a black void with no end to it at all but the good thing this time around was that there weren't any hollows trying to take over his body."Hmm, what's that?" He asked himself seeing a tree in the middle of the blackness but it wasn't like the crystal trees of Hueco Mundo this one was an actual normal tree full of life."Well that's new." Kusa said touching the tree as he did he was covered in a bright light.
Now he was awake on stone bed inside his room at his new home where he and Kumo were staying with Sigua for a few mouths."That was weirder than usual." Kusa muttered remembering his dream, when he tried to get up he couldn't and felt something heavy on top of him."Grrr not again." Kusa groaned lowly, on top of him was Sigua sleeping quietly with her horse mask right in front of his face."Hey get off." Kusa asked poking Sigua in her cheek which only made her warp around Kusa more.
"Kusa-kun where are your hands going hehehe." Sigua giggled in her sleep dreaming up something Kusa Knew only her mind could come up with, ever since she met Kusa she's had a overwhelming attraction towards him which meant a lot of awkward moments between them like now, another thing about her was that she usually just gets up and goes somewhere at random coming back in a week or a mouth with either a dead hollow or something random for the cave.
"I don't even want to know what you're dreaming about."Kusa whispered, slowly rolling Sigua off of him which messed up her clothes with the underside of her breast showing along with her Hollow hole on her lower abdomen, a sight Kusa saw almost everyday making him sigh."Same thing different day."
"Hey! I was enjoying the feeling of her on you! Get back there now!" Zanny's voice came to Kusa's mind with a perverted tone."But I'll forgive you cause now I can see more of that body mmmm Why can't I have hands?"
"Because then you'd be the worst enemy of all women." Kusa told Zanny getting off the bed which got Zanny complaining, when Kusa looked down at his feet was Kumo curled up in a large spiky ball."Otōto time to wake up." He said bending over to pet Kumo.
Kumo uncurled himself and laied on his back showing his yellow belly while looking up at Kusa with drowsy but joyful eyes."Mañana *Yawn* Hermano." He greeted Kusa with some sleep still in him and rolled onto his stomach to get up.
"Come on." Kusa said walking out of his room followed by Kumo getting outside Kusa and Kumo were standing above the pool inside the cave with the waterfall next to Kusa's room."Ok which will it be this time Kumo? A shower or bath?" Kusa asked when he turned to look at Kumo he was trying to sneak away slowly."GET BACK HERE!" Kusa yelled.
"Pero yo no quiero!" Kumo complained trying to run away but was caught by his tail."Ah let me go Hermano!" He begged wiggling wildly but Kusa just yanked Kumo back with little trouble.
"Not happening, you need to bathe or you'll stink." Kusa told Kumo pulling him over to the water then threw Kumo into the pool and jumped in after him."Now come here." Kusa started washing Kumo from head to tail much to his brother dismay starting to growl."Hey stop that this your fault."
"Well you two seem to be having fun, can I join Kusa-kun?" Sigua asked coming to the pool while taking off her clothes.
Kusa instantly let go of Kumo."Weeeell Kumo you look clean don't you?, come on lets give Sigua her time." He said trying to get of the pool quickly but Kumo stopped him with a evil look on his face."Oh no." Kusa thought grimly sharking his head.
"Thank you Kumo! You're such a good boy." Zanny thanked Kumo kindly even though Kumo couldn't hear it.
"Hermano why don't you bathe with Sigua-chan?" Kumo said smiling as Sigua got into the pool while taking off her clothes and drifted towards Kusa once she got a hold of him Kumo quickly hopped out leaving Kusa for Sigua to play with."Have fun hermano hehehe." He snickered to himself waving at Kusa.
After A long unwanted and perverted bath
The group was sitting having a bit of chit chat with eachother."Hehehe come on Kusa-kun it wasn't that bad was it?" Sigua asked with a smile on her face as she poked Kusa for fun.
Kusa had a look of dread on his face at remembering what happened a while back."Yes. It. Was. Never. Again. Please." He said then turned to Kumo who had a big smile plastered on his face." And You wipe that look off your face or I'll do it myself."
Kumo just stunk his tongue out for his brother which Kusa grabbed."Hermano let go!" Was what he was trying to say but it came out like a odd noise.(Sorry can't write tongue speak XD)
"In a minute." Kusa answered playing around with Kumo's tongue."Huh? You off again?" He looked at Sigua who was about to leave them again.
Sigua stopped in her tracks and turned around to Kusa."Yep! Do you want anything before I leave?" She asked happy to do 'anything' for Kusa which scared him a little some times.
"Yea I do actually." Kusa answered letting go of Kumo then walked up to Sigua."Can we go with you this time?" He asked hoping Sigua would say yes but the look on her face gave him doubts.
Sigua put a hand under her chin to think."I would like having company but I'm not sure if you guys can fight." She answered looking pass Kusa to see Kumo wiggling his tongue to make sure it was working.
"Hey don't judge us like that we've been training lot whenever you go off." Kusa boasted proudly banging his chest loudly with his hand but Sigua didn't look impressed."If you want proof then we'll show you! Kumo lets show Sigua what we're made of!" He yelled over to Kumo who came up behind him quickly.
"Fine whatever lets go outside and see what you two got." Sigua said going outside followed by Kusa and Kumo when they were a good distance from home she turned to them with her arms crossed."Well go ahead."
"Alright you want to go first Otōto?" Kusa asked Kumo and got nod from him, Kusa then faced Kumo and pulled his hand back."Don't fell bad about this!" Kusa slammed his fist into Kumo's face with all his strength kicking up some sand around them.
"What are you doing Kusa!?" Sigua yelled at seeing Kusa hit his own brother with everything he had but the scales on Kumo's body started to glow yellow and stood on end."What the?" She asked in confusion which got a laugh out of Kusa.
"Hehe surprised? You see other than getting stronger, me and Kumo have also been trying to make our own attacks..." Kusa started moving away from Kumo as he pulled back his a fist."Go ahead Kumo!" With that Kumo threw a quick punch at the air making a large yellow explosion that was about as powerful as a Cero blast.
"Contador!" Kumo yelled loudly as the explosion dissipated then turned to Sigua."When I get hit I can take the damage it did and mix it with my reiatsu then fire it back out with my scales, fresco(cool) Huh?" He explained taking pride in his power."Plus the bigger the damage, the bigger the counter hehe."
"Ok that's pretty cool but how much damage can you take?" Sigua asked a little impressed with Kumo.
"Hit me!" Kumo said standing in front of Sigua with his arms open out which made her sweatdrop a little.
"*Hmph* Think you can handle a hit from me!" She said getting ready for a kick, Kumo nodded to her and she did the same."OK take this!" In a quick motion Sigua hit Kumo in the left side of his face with a powerful around house kick that sent sand dancing from the force of it."Wow!" When Sigua pulled back her leg the only damage on Kumo's face was a small crack on his mask."Man I was hoping to send you flying with that." She admitted.
"Not happening Sigua-chan haha." Kumo laughed a little as the scales on his body went up and he punched the air again the blast this time knocked him to his feet."GUAU!" He exclaimed laying on his back in the sand.
"Yea it's useful but if he counters something too powerful it'll knock him back a bit and he can't counter something like a Cero all that well though."Kusa came up to point out the weakness in Kumo's power then held up his hand."Ok my turn." He added marking a Cero on the tip of his clawed finger spinning it around a bit."Pausa." The Cero instantly froze in place, he then brought it towards Sigua."Try touching it."
Sigua looked a bit worried Kusa asking her to touch a live Cero frozen or not but went along with it anyway because Kusa asked her."Ok." Was all she said slowly bringing a hand to the Cero, she hesitated a bit then finally did it."Woah!" She gasped as her hand went right through the Cero like it wasn't there in fact she wasn't even feeling any reiatsu from it either."Ok explain." She said taking her hand away.
"I'm not sure how it works but I can stop my reiatsu in time and then..." Kusa paused pointing the Cero upwards."...Jugar!(play)" The Cero instantly fired off at full blast into the sky then made another one."I can even more it around when it's paused. Pausa." He said pausing the Cero like before and made it float around Sigua then up into the air."Jugar!" Again the Cero went off blasting a small hill in the distance."That's about it for me, so what do you think?"
"Ok you guys impressed me a little so you can come along." Sigua admitted seeing that Kusa and Kumo were stronger than she thought at first."But if anything bad happens I'll protect you got it?"
"Yes! Si!" Kusa and Kumo yelled together in joy like little kids."Alright lets get a move on Sigua." Kusa said.
"Ok! Try and keep up." Sigua turned around and disappeared using Sonido leaving Kusa and Kumo with sweatdrops.
"Uh did she forget we can't do that?" Kusa asked out loud rubbing the back of his head.
"No lo se." Kumo answered not sure if Sigua would come back for them.
"Really?! She just took off with out us even after seeing all the stuff you two can do now?!" Zanny yelled in Kusa's head being quiet for the most part until now.
"Hey there Zanny, I thought it was a little too quiet around here." Kusa said to Zanny playfully.
Then after a few seconds Sigua appeared back in front of them."Sorry forgot you guys can't use Sonido hehe." She giggled with embarrassment while Kusa and Kumo glared at her with their arms crossed."Guys! I said I was sorry come on, we'll do this the slow way." She said turning around and started walking followed by Kusa and Kumo.
A Month Later(Damn that's a long walk)
"Here Kumo catch!" Sigua yelled to Kumo throwing him a dead hollow to eat the group had just took care of some hollows that picked a fight with them, both Kusa and Kumo were getting stronger but Kumo was falling behind Kusa by a lot."Huh? Where's Kusa-kun?" She asked not seeing Kusa any around.
"I don't know." Kumo answered chewing his food loudly but didn't feel any different."Why? Why can't I get stronger? Hermano I can't keep up with you and I want to protect you." He thought knowing he couldn't get as powerful as his brother.
"Kusa-kun where are you?" Sigua sang out looking around for Kusa going over to some rocks she found Kusa with seven Ceros floating around him and was trying to make a eighth one."What's he up to?" Sigua whispered staying hidden.
"Come on, come on." Kusa muttered trying to get the Cero at full power but it fizzled out."Dammit! Not good enough!" He yelled trying again with more effort.
"Kusa what's with the sudden training?" Zanny asked both worried and confused about Kusa when he didn't answer Zanny got annoyed quickly."Hey listen to me!" It yelled messing up Kusa's focus making him fire the Cero off by mistake.
"Zanny leave me alone right now." Kusa said out loud trying the Cero again keeping it stable this time."Pausa." Once it froze Kusa let out a breath."Alright eight's my limit." He said exhausted."Now what were you saying Zanny." He asked making the Ceros float around him in a circle formation.
"I asked you what was with the training?" Zanny repeated itself annoyed.
"Sorry about that, it's just Kumo hasn't been getting as big as a boost from eating Hollows than before..." Kusa paused moving the Cero circle around to test his control with it."...and I'm worried about him if things get bad and if I'm not strong enough he'll get hurt so that's why I'm out here." He finished bringing the Cero circle around his back.
"Hey Kusa-kun who are you talking to?" Sigua asked appearing at Kusa's side scaring him almost firing his Cero circle at her."Oops sorry." She apologized sweetly giving Kusa some space."But really who were you talking to?" She asked again.
"I-i-is she a-a-a-asking about m-m-m-me." Zanny stuttered surprising Kusa a great deal."I guess she heard you talking to me earlier, your call Kusa." it added talking properly now.
"Just talking to myself is all nothing big." Kusa answered Sigua calmly as he got the Cero circle under control making float around Sigua."Cool huh?"
"Yea it is but who's Zanny." Sigua questioned farther giving Kusa a suspicious look.
"*gasps* She knows my name now great going Kusa!" Zanny yelled half excited and half shocked that someone found Kusa out."Quick! Lie your ass off!"
Kusa was a little shocked as well."Well uhmmm you see it's uhmmm." He trailed off not sure what to say."Ok lying to someone who can kill me. lets see..." He thought trying to think of the best lie when a huge surge of reiatsu stopped him."What was that!?" When he turned to face Sigua she had her mask drawn over her head.
"Kusa I hope you can use that thing well cause it looks like you get to see a Vasto Lorde soon." Sigua said getting serious for the first time since Kusa met her.
"Hermano!" Kumo yelled coming towards Kusa and Sigua in a hurry then noticed the Cero circle around Kusa and his eyes got sparkles in them."GUAU!" He cheered looking at it with amazement then another surge of reiatsu came by."AH hermano someone powerful is around!"
"Yea I know come on guys." Kusa ordered heading towards whoever this was.
After a bit of walking the group came to terrifying sight there in the middle of the desert stood two hills of different sizes made completely out of dead hollow stacked on top of eachother, next to the smaller hill was a tall muscular Adjuchas about 18 feet with grey skin and thick armor made of bone covering it's arms and legs with the armor around it's arms being hollowed out from his hands to shoulders. It's mask was a closed knight helmet with holes in the mouth piece as for it's hollow hole it was placed on the right side of it's chest.
"Uriel ya really can't hold back? Can ya bro?" It asked in a teenage boy's voice with the mouth piece moved up and down, looking up at the other hill which was twice as big as the one next to him, Kusa followed the Adjuchas head and looked up also.
On top of the bigger hill was something Kusa was sure had to be a Vasto Lorde from it's immense reiatsu, it looked about the size of a normal person with the build of a man to it. His body was mostly black with some white plated armor covering his arms, legs, and chest with it's hollow hole place on the left side, his right forearm looked like sword with a large split down the middle from the tip to his elbow. like the Adjuchas his mask was a knight helmet but with a eye visor that had six four-pointed star shaped holes in it, below that his mouth could be seen showing fair skin.
He was sitting a top of the larger hill of corpses with one leg over the other and his normal hand under his chin."*Hmph* If you wish to pass me brother you may only do so by getting stronger." The Vasto Lorde spoke with more formality than his brother looking down on him then he turned his eyes to Kusa and friends."You should also refrain from speaking my name out so loudly like that or others may hear." Uriel told his brother pointing at the group.
"Well that didn't take long did it?" Kusa joked getting closer to the two hollows with Sigua and Kumo behind him."Hello there." He greeted the two of them warmly which got him a elbow from Sigua."Ouch! What was that for!?"
Sigua pulled Kusa's head down to her's then whispered."What are you doing! You don't act nice around others just like that." She warned then pushed him away now looking at the Vasto Lorde named Uriel."So are you two going to give us any trouble?" She asked with a hand over one of her Zanpakutos ready to pull it out.
"Trouble? That's only if ya want it!" The Adjuchas yelled eyeing Kusa's group then turned around to the corpse hill next to him."But ya better be able to take a hit!" He held up his right arm filling the hollowed out part with green colored reiatsu."Cañón!(canyon)" He smashed his fist down creating a circle of reiatsu around the corpse hill that exploded destroying the hill."Hahaha think I should kill'em bro?"
"Not yet brother we should at least allow them to exchange names with us first." Uriel said calmly stopping his brother from going a rampage."Good day to you all, I am Uriel Sebastian." He introduced himself standing up and bowed to everyone."And the loud mouth down there is my younger brother Axel Sebastian."
Axel snapped his head up at his brother."Hey! I can speak for maself ya know and don't go calling me a loud mouth!?" He yelled at Uriel who didn't seem to care much since Axel proofed his point."Are ya ignoring me or something?!"
"Hmm? They're an odd pair don't you think guys?" Kusa asked Kumo and Sigua watching Axel yell his head off at Uriel.
"Si hermano." Kumo answered nodding with his eyes close which Kusa joined in on.
"Yeah I know some brothers kind of like them." Sigua said referring to Kusa and Kumo.
"Really? Who?" Questioned the Tsurugi brothers together looking at Sigua marking her sweatdrop."Ah whatever I don't really care." Kusa said looking up at Uriel now."I'm Kusanagi Tsurugi,*Points to Kumo* that's my little brother Murakumo." Kusa introduced himself and Kumo.
Sigua came up next."And I'm Sigua Mendez."
Uriel eyed them a little before jumping down to meet his brother."Hmm? Two Adjuchas with great reiatsu and an Arrancar this is a grand chance to test our power Axel." He said to his brother.
"Ya telling me!" Axel cheered smashing his fist together making a small shockwave."I get the first fight right?" He asked looking down at Uriel who answered with a nod."Alright! Which one of ya want's to die first!" He yelled out cracking his knuckles as he walked towards them.
Kusa was about to answer when Kumo stepped up."Kumo you don't have I'll take this guy."
"No hermano you need to save up for that one." Kumo said pointing to Uriel who was just watching everything."I'll fight this one alone." He added facing Axel now looking down on him because of his height.
Hearing Kumo say that made Kusa smile."Well look who just grew up."
"Oh? Ya know the bigger ya are the harder ya'll fall." Axel warned looking up at Kumo as he brought up his arms in a boxing stance changing them up with reiatsu.
"Go ahead and try Bruto!" Kumo yelled back at Axel waiting for him to take the hit punch so Kumo could counter it.
"What did ya just call me! Eat this! Cañón!" Axel threw a right uppercut knocking Kumo right under his jaw quickly forming a circle of reiatsu that exploded covering Kumo in green smoke."Hah! How'd ya like that!" Axel yelled thinking that he won until the smoke cleaned."What the?"
"Hehe dumb Bruto." Kumo laughed with his scales fully changed making him shine like the sun but he still looked like he took damage.
"Beautiful." Uriel whispered in amazement as he stare at Kumo.
"Contador!" Kumo yelled balling his hand into a spiky fist and punched Axel in the mask on impacted a large yellow explosion knocked Axel away form him.
Axel recovered quickly changing his arms again."I don't know ya did but I gonna make ya pain! Cañón!" He smashed his fist into Kumo's chest quickly followed by another one both of which were followed by explosions but right afterwards Kumo countered again blasting Axel on to his back.
"Well it looks like Kumo got this fight! right Kusa?" Sigua cheered turning to Kusa but he had serious look on his face."What up with you?" She asked.
"Kumo needs to be careful he's only countering the physical damage not what the explosion does, if he takes too many he's done." Kusa explained worried about Kumo as Axel got back up again.
"Ha!" Axel laughed a little."Ya took three of ma punches and ya're still standing, I'm starting to like ya." He said having some fun in the fight with Kumo."So ya better not die after I win!" He boasted loudly.
"Cállate Bruto! I'm winning this, just watch!" Kumo yelled back making a yellow Cero in his mouth and fired it at Axel.
Axel in response held his hands up."Cero!" He quickly formed and fired off a green beam of reiatsu that clashed with Kumo's creating two explosions on either side."Cañón!" Axel came in as the explosions dissipated slamming his fist down on Kumo's head with a intense blast of reiatsu following suit."Ya still kicking?"
"Contador!" Was Kumo's answered as he gave Axel an explosive upper cut that knocked him high into the air."*pant* Take that Bruto! *pant*" Kumo was breathing heavily from the last attack leaving his mask and body damage badly.
Axel wasn't in any better state after Kumo's counter he was tossed far and his mouth piece was pretty messed up along with the rest of his body."This punk is really good, I kind of don't want to kill him now but..." He thought getting back up then looked at Uriel and faced Kumo again."Ok! Big guy I'm done with you! Time to die!" He smashed his hands together and poured a massive amount of reiatsu into his arms."Cristal! (crystal)" The reiatsu in his arms slowly started to harden into green crystals that filled in the hollowed out parts of his arms.
"This is bad." Sigua said as Axel finished making his armor."Kusa aren't you going to help him now?" She asked not sure if Kumo could take much more.
"No." Kusa said in a serious tone, not taking his eyes off Kumo."He said he wanted to fight alone so I'm letting him if he loses I'll be there to make sure he doesn't die if he wins I'll be there to hold up his hand that's how brothers work." He told Sigua with pride which only made her shrug.
"Well said Kusa!" Zanny told Kusa agreeing with him.
"Hmm that Adjuchas forced Axel to use Cristal, I wonder what the other can do." Uriel thought eyeing Kusa now.
"Well ready to die?" Axel asked Kumo making the crystals glow with reiatsu.
"Traelo!" Kumo answered ready for whatever Axel was planing.
"I will!" Axel roared jumping into the air with his hand pulled back."CAÑÓN!" With his crystal arms glowing bright green, Axel brought down a thunderous two handed slam down on Kumo's shoulders once they connected a large circle of reiatsu formed around them and erupted upwards kicking up sand everywhere.
"Arrrrrgh!" Kumo screamed in pain as he felt like he was being hit by a mountain but thanks to Axel's attack Kumo's scales were change to max with reiatsu beginning to come off them, focusing all of it to his tail Kumo then held on to Axel's arms to hold him in place."Tú pierdes! CONTADOR MÁXIMO!" Swinging his tail into Axel's side Kumo caused explosion that overpowered Axel's Cañon and sent him into the air.
"Axel!" Uriel yelled seeing his brother flying into the air after Kumo last attack Uriel quickly went after him catching Axel before he hit the ground."Axel! Are you all right!?"
"Y-y-yea." Axel answered weakly before passing out.
"YEA! KUMO!" Kusa and Sigua cheered going to Kumo's side only for them to catch him as he passed out as well, snoring like a baby.
Kusa and Sigua sat him down nicely, he earned some rest after the fight he had, now it was time to deal with Uriel who was slowly gathering a huge of burnt orange reiatsu around him, making sure Axel's life wasn't in danger he stood up and turned to Kusa."That was a most beautiful attack I hope you can show me the same Tsurugi." Uriel said with a hint of rage in his voice choosing to use Kusa's surname to address him with.
"Oh I will Sebastian!" Kusa yelled out doing the same as Uriel.
To be Continued (This first time I've had to do that)
Yea! Another chapter down hope you liked what I did for Kusa's and Kumo's powers and we also get to meet the last of my OCs Uriel and Axel Sebastian! Which brings me to the tittle you see Tsurugi means sword in jap and Sebastian kind of means Venerable hence the tittle so you could read it as Tsurugis vs Sebastians cool huh?
Part 2 will be out quickly hopefully and yes I know Kusa has no chance against Uriel as Adjuchas and no Sigua is not going to help him and you'll see why later. If you got any questions asked them in a review pls and I'll answer them in the chapter byeeeeeee!
