Bleach Turf War: Chapter II Familiar Circumstances
Ichigo was now alone. He hung loosely from the shackles of his cell, head bent low as if it was unable to bear its own weight. Cuts and lacerations ran up and down his body; his once comfortable forest green tunic was in taters, shreds of it soaking up his blood that had begun to pool at his feet. Luckily Ichigo couldn't feel the pain anymore, his body had gone numb quite a while ago. Suddenly Ichigo heard clanging outside the door to his cell coupled with the screams of two guards as their pathetic life ended. Then Ichigo heard the loud clang of the heavy iron crossbar being moved out of its resting place before crashing onto the cobblestone floor with a loud clang. However next instead of the door creaking open it was blown off its hinges only to slam into him before clattering to the floor. As Ichigo mind sat on the borderline of unconsciousness he saw a flash of silver and gold before his mind was enveloped in blackness.
Ichigo opened his eyes only to see the utter blackness that surrounded him. Inside the darkness he could sense a familiar presence, however instead of comforting him it sent a shiver down his spine 'what the hell is this' he thought. Before he could act he heard the soft pitter patter of footsteps approaching him. A sharp pain shot through his brain, the next thing he knew he was laying in the fetal position clutching his head as images of memories long forgotten flashed before his eyes changing with each footstep he heard. 'Step' an image of a garden flashed before his eyes, bodies hanging like ornaments among the many archways. 'Step' the image of a gutted corpse came into view, a look of pain and horror plastered on its face for all eternity. 'Step' a young boy running down a small alleyway before his skull was slammed into the side wall crushing it and killing him instantly. 'Step' suddenly a pair of golden eyes came into view, hiding behind a beastly white mask with two horns, one broken about halfway, while the other was unharmed. 'Step' Ichigo could sense that the figure was close standing over him, watching him with a smile on its face. Suddenly Ichigo saw a woman fall down and was now backing up on her hands and knees screaming "MONSTER, MONSTER" before a clawed hand ripped out her throat.
"Your mine Ichigo Kurosaki" a seductive female voice whispered before his vision went black again.
Ichigo now woke up in a completely white room, bandages covered most of his body. As he took in his surroundings he found a little bundle of clothes sitting in the corner of the otherwise completely bare room. He slowly got up, not wanting to open any wounds and with a wince of pain cautiously made his way over to the small bundle. When he finally got there he noticed that it was a pair of white Hakama with the bottom and the belt outlined, along with a white long sleeve cotton V-neck and lastly a white Shihakusho with black trim around the bottom, the sleeves, and the neck. (for those who have no idea, its Ichigo's bankai outfit only white and hollowy) Ichigo took a split second to think about putting these clothes on. He then however remembered the tattered rags he was left in, and as he looked down sure enough there they were. Sighing in defeat Ichigo donned the clothes. However just as he finished putting his Hakama on he heard the soft tapping of footsteps. Panicking Ichigo hid by the door in order to catch his captor by surprise. Then he began to slowly unravel the bandaging on his left hand, thinking of using it to choke his enemy. Slowly the footsteps came closer suddenly they stopped and the door began to open outward. Just as the figure stepped in Ichigo lunged in a desperate attempt to escape, however his captor saw this and quickly used sonido to get behind his back and subdue him by twisting his arm around behind it.
Ichigo didn't know what happened, one second he was lunging at his captor, the next he heard a loud boom that still now rung in his ears and he was subdued with his captor twisting his arm behind his back. 'damn' Ichigo thought 'he's way to fast.'
"Hey, before I try anything else may I have to pleasure to know the name of my captor." Ichigo spoke confidently.
"Harribel, Tier Harribel," said a rather effeminate voice.
"Good to know," Ichigo said visibly calming down and relaxing, however the moment he felt Harribel's grip loosen he slammed his shoulder against her chest. Harribel, not expecting the pathetic vampire to even have enough energy, to pull off such a daring move was caught off guard. As she stumbled backwards Ichigo ran out the door slamming it shut hearing the click of the lock as he did so.
'he's quick, I'll give him that.' Harribel thought, as she quickly stood up and fired a cero at the door. Granted it was a little overkill but it did its job.
Ichigo heard an explosion come from down the hallway and risked a backwards glance. His face paled as he saw the door fly towards him 'ya know I hope this doesn't become a regular thing' he thought as the door hit his back knocking him to the ground. The next second he heard the loud boom of a sonido and then he was staring at a pair of black shoos with what looked like a white curved cross that went up the shoe. 'Ok it is starting to look like running is not an option here' Ichigo decided as he struggled to get up off the ground.
"Are you done now Ichigo Kurosaki" Harribel spoke in an even tone putting the tip of her blade against his neck forcing his head up.
Ichigo looked at the dark skinned beauty. She had short messy blond hair with what looked like three braided locks of hair that went past her neckline, she also had blond eyelashes and green eyes. However the rest of her face was covered by a long sleeve zip up jacket that ended about an inch or two below her breasts showing her midriff. She had black gloves that the sleeves partially went over the bottom half of them. Then she was wearing a long dress like skirt that covered the bottom half of her body from below the hips down while showing off some of her outer thighs. Then Ichigo noticed that the sword she had was very slightly curved, it was also unusually short and wide, however what surprised Ichigo the most was the fact that the blade itself was completely hollow in the middle.
"yes," Ichigo responded in the same even tone Harribel used, seeing no point in resisting.
"I see," Harribel said as she walked behind him and pushed the tip of her sword against his back "then we should probably get going."
Harribel led Ichigo through the twisting and winding hallways of this vast complex. 'how can anyone possibly navigate this' Ichigo thought as they turned into another hallway that looked just like ALL the rest. 'actually now that I think about it I'd probably starve before I would find the exit.' Suddenly Harribel stopped
"Were here" she said, Ichigo followed her gaze to a large set of double doors. Harribel walk up to them knocking politely before opening one of them. She then swung her arm, gesturing that it should be him who should enter first. 'alright here we go' Ichigo thought as he stepped into the dark room. Once inside he heard a loud bang, signifying that the door had shut. Then he saw Harribel take the empty seat near a man with an eye patch and an odd circular thing that went behind his head, and a man with an oddly long mask with multiple holes in the front. At the end of this long table a man sat in the tallest chair, he had short brown hair with one strand coming down in the middle of his face. His dark golden eyes showed no emotion, as did the rest of his face. He was wearing a jacket that went down to his ankles and the collar was high so that it would cover his neck if zipped up. His shirt had a red sash around it and extended past his hips, he then had white hakama to finish off the incredibly white outfit.
"Ichigo Kurosaki," he began with a smile "I am Sosuke Aizen and these." Aizen gestured to those who were gathered around the table, "are the Espada."
Ichigo looked around the room getting a look at the twelve Espada before him studying their features and expressions. After a little bit Aizen once again spoke up.
"Ichigo I want you to become a fraccion or an apprentice of sorts to one of my Espada."
"And I'm sure that this is one of those offers I CAN'T refuse," Ichigo said with both sarcasm and a little venom layering his voice.
"I'm glad we understand each other," Aizen smiled before continuing "However if you work with us, I can guarantee that you will have a chance to save your sisters."
"You know where they are?" Ichigo quickly replied, concern and hope showing in both his features and voice.
"Yes currently they are being held by Seireitei, a large mercenary faction much like ourselves."
"I see... I'll join you Aizen, and save my sisters" Ichigo spoke with confidence
"Good to hear" Aizen began, his face taking on a more serious expression while his voice followed suit. "However Kurosaki I must remind you that there is no backing out, granted you don't have a choice but I figure I should just let you know."
"I understand Aizen" Ichigo replied "however as long as I'm here can you promise sanctuary for my sister as soon as I save them."
Clapping his hands Aizen responded with a smile on his face "of course," he began "now then the question is whose fraccion will you be." Aizen began shifting his gaze from person to person until it finally landed on Tier Harribel. 'perfect' he thought "Ichigo you will be Harribel's fraccion, is that acceptable Harribel."
"Hi Aizen Sama I will accept Ichigo Kurosaki as one of my fraccion, seeing as I saw his abilities earlier this morning I should be in a decent position to help him." She replied in her normal tone.
"Wonderful" Aizen exclaimed as he once again clapped his hands "meeting adjourned." Immediately all the Espada began exiting the room. Harribel exited last and Ichigo followed closely not wanting to get lost in the maze of hallways. Eventually they came up on a small set of double doors, Harribel entered first with Ichigo following suit. Immediately Ichigo heard several voices yell, welcome back Harribel Sama. 'I've got a bad feeling about this' Ichigo thought as three girls came out to hug Harribel, but immediately stopped as soon as they saw Ichigo. The killer intent directed at Ichigo made it seem like the room temperature dropped a couple degrees.
"Under orders from Aizen Sama" Harribel began with a calm and soothing edge to her voice, obviously trying to relieve the tension. "I have taken Kurosaki Ichigo as my fraccion"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH" they all yelled together.
"But he looks so weak Harribel Sama." The short haired girl with a horn said
"True but not as weak as you." The dark skinned amazon like woman responded.
"What was that you cow!" The horned girl shot back
"You two really should stop arguing it makes you both look incredibly weak." The long haired girl with three dots underneath her right eye said.
"WHAT WAS THAT SUNG-SUN" the amazon and the unicorn girl responded together.
"Please be quiet, while I think" Harribel said.
"Yes Harribel Sama" all three responded simultaneously.
'Wow that was quick' Ichigo thought as silence filled the room, before Harribel spoke again.
"Ichigo"
"Huh"
"I want you to fight my three fraccion, Appacci Emilou, Mila Rose Franceska, and Sung-Sun Cyan."
"Huh?"
"I believe that if you fight them I can accurately judge your current combat ability."
"... Huh?" Ichigo responded as he looked at the three girls. He figured the tomboy looking one with the short black hair, horn, and multicolored eyes with the red outline surrounding the left side was Apacci. The dark skinned girl with wavy dark brown hair, green eyes and the amazon clothing was Mila Rose, she also seemed to have a hole between her navel and breasts. Finally the girl with the dress whose sleeves covered her hands with six inches or so of material to spare, flowing green hair, lavender eyes, and the three dots underneath her eye was Sung-Sun.
The next thing Ichigo knew, he was outside in a field facing the three stooges themselves. He found his gaze glancing from one to the other, waiting for them to make the first move. Apacci was the first to move, coming straight at him with a sonic boom. Ichigo's body went tense as he quickly ducked the punch she threw and sending an uppercut towards her head. Noticing this she used a sonido to escape the impending blow, following up with two balas. The first one hit him in the gut while the other hit the side of his face sending him spinning.
"Is that all you got" Apacci taunted.
Ichigo stood up slowly and took a defensive stance wiping blood from his cheek with his right hand. "Not even close" he responded.
"tch" was all Apacci said before she continued her onslaught of balas, kicks, and punches. Ichigo had to rely completely on his instincts, because his eyes couldn't keep up with her speed. After taking a couple more hits he saw his opening. Apacci came at him with a punch, Ichigo ducked underneath it and then swiped her legs out from underneath her. As she hit the Ground Ichigo was already following up with an ax kick to her stomach. Apacci blocked knocking Ichigo off balance and then in a flash hit him with a kick to his side. 'That was close I guess he isn't completely incompetent' she admitted to herself 'however he still has a long way to go in order to earn a place beside Harribel Sama.' Apacci was about to head back in but Mila Rose put her hand on her shoulder preventing her advance.
"What the hell!" Apacci yelled.
"I would like to have a chance to face him" Mila Rose responded.
"As would I" Sung-Sun added.
"Ok then lets just get him together" Apacci exclaimed desperate to get back into the fight.
"I'll allow it" Harribel spoke over their arguing.
"Thank you Harribel Sama" the three of them responded.
Ichigo paled as he saw Sung-Sun coming in first, her snake like movements made her attacks unpredictable. After landing a few hits she backed out, immediately Ichigo dive rolled to the side as a barrage of balas flew past him. 'shit this is not looking good' all of a sudden he heard the loud bang of a sonido and the next thing he knew he was flying into a rock courtesy of Mila Rose and one of her overpowered kicks. As Ichigo lay there beaten bruised and exhausted. 'shit this is not looking so good' He was almost at his limit; suddenly a seductive voice purred in the back of his head "let me out Ichigo, you can't do this without me." Ichigo was surprised to hear the same voice from his dream "give me control Ichigo, you know how to release your seals, do it and you can win this fight, don't and you will surely lose." Once again the voice spoke her tone so enticing, so alluring, soon Ichigo gave up exhaustion taking over. 'Alright I might as well.' Currently outside of Ichigo's head, his body lay unmoving, and the three fraccion began to worry that they had killed him.
'is that it' Harribel thought as she shook her head in disappointment 'I knew he would be weak but this is getting pathetic.'
"Looks like he's ready for some more punishment" Mila Rose almost purred.
"Yep Looks like he doesn't know when to quit" Apacci added.
"For once we seem to be in agreement" Sung-Sun added.
Harribel lifted her head to see Ichigo standing as a puppet would when its strings were cut. He was slightly haunched over, his arms hung loosely dangling as if they were nothing but dead weight. His head also hung down in what seemed to be a constant stare at the ground. Then all of a sudden Harribel made out chanting coming from his slumped form. "Nhath seth hash narash cerec," Harribel's eyes widened as she made out the ancient language. 'hmm I wonder what kind of demon he's summoning' Harribel thought as she looked closer, not wanting to miss what would soon transpire. Suddenly his chanting stopped and he raised his head, a sadistic smile began to take shape on his face showing his fangs. A mask also began to form on the right side of his face and stopped once it covered the upper right half of his face stopping at the top of his mouth. After his mask finally had taken shape Ichigo's eyelids fluttered open to reveal his now glowing yellow orbs to the world.
"FINALLY!" Ichigo yelled Ichigo yelled as he eyed them with a cruelty only known to the fairer sex, his normally deep baritone overlayed with a higher pitched female's voice. "Geez Ichigo you sure are stingy when it comes to sharing a body. You really should let me out for a walk and not whenever your getting your ass handed to you. Now then, if I may ask who the fuck... are you three" The identity confused Ichigo said pointing to the fraccion. "No wait don't tell me, your a unicorn" Ichigo pointed to Apacci, "your some kind of amazon cow." Ichigo said now pointing to Mila Rose, then pointing to Sung-Sun "and lastly your some kind of anorexic snake freak."
"What did you just say!" Mila Rose screamed.
"Who the hell are you calling an anorexic snake!" Sung-Sun yelled finally breaking her composure.
"U-unicorn" Apacci whimpered.
"Oh it looks like I struck a nerve." Ichigo said putting his hands on his hips and tilting his head slightly to one side.
Apacci began by firing balas, one after the other in rapid concession. However none of them seemed to hit Ichigo, 'he's become faster somehow' Harribel thought. Then Mila Rose came around with a round kick to Ichigo's head, however he brought up his arm to block it in time, sliding back a few feet. Sung-Sun came up with her Hebi style successfully hitting Ichigo in the solar plexus knocking him back. "Your weaker than I expected" Ichigo said with mock disappointment " hey Ichigo did you really lose to this bunch of weaklings." At this point Sung-sun threw a punch aiming for his face only for it to be caught by Ichigo. "Ok my turn" Ichigo snapped Sung-Sun's wrist backwards causing the bone to break with a loud snap. Then he kneed her in the stomach before letting her drop to his feet. "you're all pathetic" Ichigo said grabbing her wrist and driving her fangs into Sung-Sun's arm, who cried out in pain. After a couple more seconds Ichigo let her drop to the ground breathing heavily. Ichigo shivered with pleasure, "that was wonderful, the first taste of blood I've had in years ."
"YOU BITCH" Apacci and Mila Rose screamed before charging into the fray. Mila Rose attempted to Punch Ichigo, while Apacci tried to kick him in the side of the head. However Ichigo grabbed both Mila Rose's fist and Apacci's punch stopping them dead in their tracks. Before pulling them sideways so that their bodies collided. "Now this is where the real fun begins" Ichigo said sadistically a smile gracing his features, but as Ichigo brought his foot up to kick Apacci in the ribs he heard a loud sonic boom. Before he could turn around he felt the hilt of a zanpacto slam into his neck and then everything went black.
Harribel stood over Ichigo's body, her zanpacto still at the ready, waiting for him to stand up. After a minute, she let out a sigh of relief. Looking over at her fraccion she spoke in her usual monotone voice. "Apacci do not rush into battle, Mila Rose you telegraph your moves you rely too much on your power instead work on your speed. And Sung-Sun try to switch up your style, at times it leaves you too vulnerable."
"Hi Harribel-Sama" they all responded bowing their heads at the same time.
"However you all did well considering you were not using your zanpacto's, I did not think that a being such as he would have such power inside of him." Harribel finished looking down at Ichigo's unmoving form sensing the demon leave him. 'What are you really Kurosaki Ichigo."
