Chapter 15: Dance of the Akuma

Ichigo's House, Ichigo's Room

Ichigo flopped down onto the center of his bed. He took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of his home. He missed that smell, he missed his bed, he missed his family, well most of them, and was glad to be home. As much as he enjoyed his time with the vaizards, nothing compares to your own bed in your own home. He shut his eyes, letting his senses reacquaint him with his home. Rukia smiled at him and sat down beside him, running her fingers through his soft orange hair.

"Ichigo" she sighed, continuing to twirl her fingers in his hair.

"I know" he mumbled into the bed. "We forgot to use protection."

"So? What are we gonna do?" she asked kinda sing songy.

"Well…" he groaned, rolling over to look at Rukia. "All we can do is wait. We can't change anything now, so we'll see what happens and go from there. How long will it be before you know?" he asked, shutting his eyes and smiling at the feeling of Rukia's nails tickling his scalp.

"Well, If I miss my period, which should be in about 2 weeks, we'll have a pretty good idea" she sighed. "And if I do miss it, I should be able to tell with a test by that point, so I can get one. So it will be a few weeks yet."

"Alright" Ichigo sighed nonchalantly, rolling back over. Rukia stared at the man she loved as he lie on his bed. His eyes were closed, and she watched his chest slowly rise and fall as he took in his breaths. She couldn't help but smile. She could tell he really loved her, simply due to the fact that he wasn't panicking that they had forgot protection while consummating their love. He would take the consequences, whatever they were. Almost as if on cue, Ichigo yawned.

"I love you Rukia" he yawned, stretching his arms above his head. A little tear formed in the corner of his eye as he yawned, and he rolled back over. "Don't forget that kay?" he mumbled as he was slowly falling asleep. Rukia grinned wider and bent over to peck his cheek.

"I love you too Ichigo" she whispered into his ear. Even though he was half asleep, it still sent shivers down his spine feeling her warm breath on his ear. "I'm gonna go out with your sister, you sleep good kay? I know you're tired." He nodded and she kissed his forehead. She slowly rose from the bed as not to disturb him, and quietly exited the room, Ichigo sound asleep on his bed.

Rukia walked down the stairs and entered the living room, finding Karin sitting on the couch watching football. She used her Kuchiki stealth to sneakily sit down right next to the girl. Karin was completely engrossed in the game. Rukia sat there for a moment, waiting to be acknowledged by the girl, but Karin never noticed her. Rukia sighed inwardly.

"Watcha watching?" she asked, catching Karin completely off guard. She jumped a little and turned to Rukia, who was looking at the TV.

"Oh" Karin breathed. "Football."

"I'm not gonna bite Karin" Rukia pouted.

"I know, you just startled me is all" she sighed.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out for lunch, talk about, well, you know" Rukia smiled at the girl. Karin sat there for a sec confused, then smiled and nodded.

"Alright, lemme go tell Yuzu I'm leaving" she smiled, getting up.

"Don't tell her where we're going though. I don't want her to feel like I don't like her, but she doesn't know so…"

"Got it!" Karin nodded, running upstairs to tell Yuzu she was leaving. A minute later she came back down stairs. "I'm going to play soccer" she nodded. Rukia smiled and they left to go to a café in town that Rukia swore had the best chocolate chip cookies.

"What's it like being a demon Renji?" Tatsuki asked with peaked curiosity. Renji looked at her and thought for a minute, scrunching his eyebrows together.

"Well….it's not bad if that's what you're worried about" he answered. "You're stronger, faster, have better senses, however there is that whole thirst for blood thing" he smiled. She nodded.

"What do you think I am? Scratch that, that's what we're going to find out. Why do you think I became a demon? I'm pretty sure my parents would have told me if they were demons" she laughed.

"That's what we're going to find out. There are a number of reasons. I think the most likely reason is that your parents both carry a recessive demon gene, and you inherited it. But it sat dormant for a while until your exposure to so many demons brought it out. Or that it's a mythical creature who doesn't expose itself until a certain age. Some pixies don't know their pixies till their 100 years old and still young, and then they suddenly shrink and grow wings. It could be something like that," Renji explained. Tatsuki nodded and her eyes shot open when they happened upon the vampire council hall.

"Kinda trashy ain't it?" she asked, cocking her head.

"CAN IT!" Renji growled. Tatsuki laughed and Renji scowled, trying not to blush at how cute her laugh was. Renji had known Tatsuki for what seemed like forever. She hung out with him Ichigo and Uryu sometimes back in elementary school, and the entire gang got closer after Ichigo became a vampire. He didn't know why, but all the sudden he felt closer to her, even though he probably thought he was just sensing her becoming a demon without his realizing it.

"Demi-Lord Abarai!" The fat man at the entrance greeted. Tatsuki tried not to laugh at the appearance of the man.

"Omaeda" Renji sighed. "Are you gonna move you're fat ass and let me in the door or do I gotta bribe you with cookies again."

"You know the rules Abarai!" he scowled. "No humans allowed in the sacred halls of the vampire council hall!" Omaeda huffed and crossed his arms in defiance.

"You idiot!" Renji growled. "I'm the same rank as you, and unlike you I actually earned my position! So move your fat ass you moron and I won't go all Bankai on your ass!" Renji was seething. If a demi-lord was bringing a human into the hall there was obviously a good reason for it. Omaeda was just being a dumb ass, abusing his power.

"You think you can beat me!" Omaeda laughed. A fat snake suddenly materialized on his shoulder. "I can…."

"You couldn't fight your way out of a doughnut shop Omaeda" they heard a cool, calm voice snicker. They turned to see Soi Fon and Suzemabachi coming towards them.

"LORD FON!" Omaeda stuttered, bowing quickly at the sight of his lord. Soi Fon walked up to them and growled at her last subordinate.

"Sensei" Renji nodded. Soi Fon smiled at him and Tatsuki.

"Hello!" she greeted. "Now I must ask Renji, why do you want to bring a human into the halls?" she titled her head.

"We think she's transforming into a demon sensei" he bowed slightly. Soi Fon looked at her and nodded.

"Alright, go ahead. I just came to pick up some paperwork and then I'm heading back home" she nodded. She then glared and turned to Omaeda. "Omaeda?" she asked slowly.

"Yes…..Lord Fon?" he stuttered nervously.

"Come here" she motioned with her index finger. Omaeda gulped and slowly made his way over to her. He stopped slightly behind her and twiddled his thumbs.

"Yes Lord Fon?" he grinned nervously. She sighed, and with a quick motion, thrust her fist back into his face. He fell over shouting in pain and Renji burst into laughter.

"Shut up" she ordered of her fat subordinate. She then left and entered the hall, and Renji motioned for him and Tatsuki to do the same.

The archives at the hall of vampires contained information on basically anything a person could ever want to know about anything. The library was a room bigger than the high school, loaded with book after book after book on everything in the history of the world. They had an archive of all wars, all plants, animals, cheeses, natural disasters, and most important, mythical creatures and demons. However, since the invention of computers, most of the information was now available at a convenient click on the library's computers. Renji and Tatsuki entered, and Tatsuki's jaw immediately dropped.

"This place is massive!" Tatsuki gaped.

"Ya, they have everything here. If you ever need an exotic cheese recipe" Renji grinned. He motioned Tatsuki towards the computer and she quickly sprinted towards him, taking a seat next to him on the computer. Renji logged into the database and clicked on the Demons tab, to look at the list of all demons ever recorded.

"Ok, so we can eliminate anything with a dominant gene, since that means one of your parents would be a demon" Renji asked. Tatsuki nodded, confident that her parents weren't demons. He clicked that in, and the list immediately shrank considerably.

"We can eliminate anything that is male exclusive…right?" Renji teased. Tatsuki blushed and growled, kicking him in the shin. He cringed and hissed at her, causing her to giggle again, bringing a blush back to Renji's face. He quickly turned away and typed that into the computer, eliminating even more demons.

"Ok, so this is a decent sized list" Renji sighed. Tatsuki nodded and began looking through the demons listed.

"Well….we can eliminate Succubus" Tatsuki sighed. Renji looked at her.

"Why's that? Succubus have on rare occasion had the ability to fight with lightning" Renji asked. Tatsuki sighed and pointed to her chest. Renji looked without even thinking, and the blush returned.

"Does this look like a succubus to you?" she asked, arching an eyebrow. He quickly shook his head and looked back at the computer, eliminating all big breasted creatures. Tatsuki took the mouse, and again began looking through the list. Renji joined her, seeing as he knew more about them than she did.

"Could I be an elf?" she asked, noticing that they could fight with lightning sometimes.

"Well…..do you have a cookie fetish?" Renji asked, completely serious.

"What!!! I thought that was just a myth!" Tatsuki sputtered. Renji shook his head.

"I wish…" he shivered. "If only you know what I've seen elves do to cookies. You would never want a cookie again…" Renji shuddered again and crossed out all demons with cookie fetishes.

"How about a Griffin?" Tatsuki asked. It might be neat to be a griffin.

"Have you ever….er…how should I put this lightly…" Renji grimaced.

"What?" She asked, completely confused.

"Griffin's only desire sexual contact with other griffins….and horses. So if you…." Renji looked at her with a face like please say you haven't…

"WHAT!" Tatsuki shouted. "NASTY!" she grimaced. "I guess that knocks that off the list."

"Recessive traits drive a lot of demons into strange habits" he shrugged, exiting out of anything that wasn't attracted to humans.

"AGHHH! This isn't getting us anywhere!" Tatsuki groaned.

"Well…" Renji was interrupted when they heard a loud crash come from outside.

On the other side of town Rukia and Karin were sitting outside the café waiting for their orders. Rukia took a sip of the coffee she had ordered, and Karin took a sip of her hot chocolate. Neither had really said much, waiting for the other to start. Karin finally decided that she should speak first. She sets down her drink and lets out a long sigh, before summoning up her courage.

"Rukia-nee" Karin started. Rukia set down her drink and looked at her. "What exactly is going on with you and Ichi?" she asked. Rukia smiled sighed.

"Well…as you know, we're vampires. I'm what's known as a demonic princess, arguably the most powerful kind of vampire there is."

"REALLY!" Karin gasped. Rukia nodded.

"Unfortunately, even though we are naturally immortal, vampires can be killed by others if dealt enough damage with no blood to heal it. Someone killed off all the demonic princesses, and I'm the only one left" she sighed. "Because of this my brother and the vampire council placed me in the care of your brother. Ichigo is the demi-lord in the 13th clan, making him one of the most powerful vampires in the country. He mastered his bankai in almost no time at all, and since we were going to the same school together, they knew it would be a good choice. We were a little hesitant at first, but we really very quickly grew close, and eventually….we fell in love" she blushed.

"You…love Ichi-nii?" Karin asked curiously, making sure she had heard that right. Rukia continued to blush, nodding and looking away. "That's so….so….so…KAWAII!!!!!" she squealed. Rukia jumped and gave Karin a look of bewilderment. A reaction like that from Yuzu? Yes. But Karin???

"So where were you and Ichi last week? Getting it on?" she grinned. Rukia blushed, they did get it on, but they did other, more important….well, as important things.

"N…NO!" she gasped, shaking her head. "Ichigo had an inner hollow, probably formed due to the way he became a vampire, however that was, and he was learning how to control it" she blushed.

"And learning how to control each other" Karin grinned.

"SHUT UP!" Rukia blushed profusely.

"That blush says it all" Karin cackled. Rukia huffed and crossed her arms, pouting. "Don't worry I won't tell the old man!"

"That's not the point!" Rukia pleaded. "Me and Ichigo…we…forgot" she cringed.

"Forgot what?" Karin asked, taking a bite of the ice cream that had just been delivered.

"Well…we forgot…a condom" she bit her lip when she admitted it, and Karin practically choked on her ice cream.

"YOU WHAT!" Karin shouted. "Were you…"

"Unfortunately, the timing lines up perfectly" Rukia looked away.

"Does Ichi-nii know?" Karin asked. Rukia nodded her head.

"He says he'll still love me whatever happens" Rukia smiled. Karin sighed and smiled too.

"Well, at least he can do something right" she smiled. "So do you have any idea how Ichi-nii became a vampire?" Rukia shook her head and sighed. "We're trying to figure it out but we're not making much progress. Starting tomorrow we're going to…" Rukia was cut off by an explosion at the park nearby. "Come on" she ushered Karin. The girl nodded and followed Rukia, who made sure to leave money on the table.

Rukia and Karin ran over to the park, where they were greeted by hoards of screaming people and a thick cloud of smoke. Rukia and Karin ran through it, to find a man standing in the center, with an evil grin plastered over his face. He was tall and muscular, with bright teal eyes, and teal stripes underneath them. His hair was a bright electric blue, and he had another jaw over his cheek, the bones plastered on his cheek, appearing as though it were the jaw of a panther. His chest was exposed from his white uniform, a finely tuned abdomen flexing for his victims. On his back, was a tattoo, the number 6.

"Well well well" the blue haired man snickered. "You smell awfully nice, you must be that princess I've heard so much about" he grinned. "My name is Grimmjow…Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, the sexta espada!" Grimmjow lunged foreword and Rukia grabbed Karin, shunpoing out of sight. When they landed Karin looked up, to find fangs protruding from Rukia's face. She reached her hand out and a pure white snake manifested itself on her arm, and snaked its way down to her hand. She clasped the head in her palm, and the snake let go, its body flowing behind her.

"Dance….Sode No Shirayuki" she calmly stated. The temperature in the air suddenly dropped by almost 20 degrees, and a wind began to blow around them. The snake began to glow a bright pure white and slowly transformed into a pure white blade, a pure white ribbon flowing out of the hilt. A light, steady snowfall began falling in the surrounding area, and Karin could only stare in awe as Rukia Kuchiki displayed her power, the sleeve of white snow, Sode No Shirayuki.

"Karin…………run." Rukia disappeared and reappeared, swinging her blade down at Grimmjow, who blocked it with his own. Rukia jumped up in the air and thrust out her free palm.

"Hado number 33! Sokatsui!" A flash of blue fire burst out of Rukia's palm and hurdled towards the blue haired arrancar. Grimmjow laughed and stuck out his hand, dissolving the kido spell on contact. Rukia jumped off the tree and clashed swords with Grimmjow again, swerving and maneuvering around Grimmjow's attacks, almost hitting him; however he was fast as well. As they fought Grimmjow kept a maniacal grin on his face the entire time, bursting into laughter whenever he almost hit her, or she came near him. As they clashed, Karin stood in the midst of the park, frozen in fear, and awe. Rukia landed in a huff on the ground, panting slightly as the only cut she had received, a small cut on her forehead, bleed down her face, slowly covering her eye and blanketing the left side of her face in a red cover. Grimmjow laughed, he hadn't received a scratch.

"I must say princess, you fight pretty well, but not well enough!" he cackled.

"Some No Mai" she slowly and coldly stated, raising her sword in front of her. "TSUKISHIRO!" She thrust her sword in front of her and shunpoed past Grimmjow. He stood laughing as she had clearly missed, until he saw a glow forming underneath him.

"Shit!" Grimmjow cursed, jumping out of the circle as it burst upward, freezing the space and the sky above it.

On the other side of town, a strawberry was sleeping, until he felt the demonic energy burst out of that attack. He jumped out of bed, startled, trying to feel whatever was happening. He could hear the sounds of zanpaktou clashing, and then the smell of blood drift through the air, following a disturbance of Rukia's demonic energy. Then he smelt it, that blood was Rukia's.

"RUKIA!" he shouted, grabbing Zangetsu and shunpoing out of the window.

Renji and Tatsuki ran outside the hall to find a cloud of smoke a little ways off. They ran towards the area to find a man shaped like a spoon standing in the center of the park. He turned around to reveal his face, which was long, surrounded by black hair. He had an eye patch, and a very toothy grin, revealing the number 5 tattooed on his tongue.

"Well well, looks like a little vampire came out to play" he grinned, swinging his massive double sickled sword to rest on his shoulder. Renji growled, baring his fangs towards the man, materializing Zabimaru on his shoulder. Tatsuki took a step back as Zabimaru locked itself onto Renji's arm.

"Roar…ZABIMARU!" he shouted, swinging his arm down towards the man. A bright red light surrounded the snake, forming into a serrated sword with multiple extendable segments. The segments stretched out and towards the spoon man, who swung his sword upward to block it. The man laughed as Renji's sword continued to separate further, trying to break the man's defenses.

"Not bad kid….but you don't stand a chance against me! I'm the quinto espada, NNOITRA JIRUGA! Nnoitra trust his blade upward, throwing Renji into the air. Renji landed upside down in the air, condensing demonic energy under his feet, and propelled himself towards Nnoitra.

"NOW ROAR!" he shouted as he swung his arm, forcing Zabimaru towards Nnoitra. Nnoitra smacked the sword away and stuck out his tongue, giving Renji a clear view of the five tattooed on his tongue. A yellow ball began glowing on the tip, and he shot a cero blast at Renji. Renji stuck out his arm to counter.

"HADO 31! SHAKKAHO!" he screamed, a red ball of fire shooting out of his hand. The blast only partially negated the cero, and Renji took a bad blow. He was sent careening into a nearby building, smashing the building entirely. He tried to move, but was pinned under the falling rubble. Zabimaru was just out of his reach, so he couldn't perform bankai. He was helpless. He struggled profusely, and started screaming when he saw Nnoitra start eying someone.

"TATSUKI!!! RUN!!!" he screamed. Tatsuki turned to look, but it was too late, Nnoitra grabbed her, holding her up by one arm. She struggled and screamed, trying to kick him, so he hit her, hard. She was knocked out by the punch, her head bleeding slightly, Renji fearing that he had cracked her skull.

"TATSUKI!" he screamed. Nnoitra started cackling as Renji struggled more. He was desperate to reach his zanpaktou, to protect Tatsuki, but he couldn't.

"So this human means something to you?" Nnoitra snickered. "Well, I guess I'll just have to snack on her then" he grinned. Nnoitra threw her against the wall the wall cracking in the process. Renji was screaming as Nnoitra picked her limp body up and ripped off her shirt, revealing her sports bra, and her bloodied torso. He slid his slimy tongue all over the blood, tears forming in Renji's eyes as he sat helplessly, unable to do anything for her. She was dead anyway. He hung her lifeless body in his arms, licking the blood off of her bare torso. Renji tried to fight off the tears, attempting to reach his zanpaktou, but a part of him had given up seeing Tatsuki like that. Nnoitra then bit her neck and began drinking her blood, laughing as he did it. Tatsuki's eyes were lifeless and dull; Nnoitra wanted one last thing from her so he took off her pants and threw her to the ground. Renji screamed at him to stop as he lowered himself, laughing manically. The vampire was screaming, just what he wanted. However, Nnoitra didn't notice something……

He had taken Tatsuki's wristband off.

Her lifeless eyes began to glow a dark red, and a dark demonic aura suddenly began to gather around her.

"What the hell?" Nnoitra hissed, covering his face with his arm. The demonic aura suddenly exploded in and around her, covering and consuming her. Renji stared at the scene before him, trying to figure out what had happened, when he spotted her wristband on the ground.

"THE WRISTBAND WAS HER LIMITER!" he shouted. The smoke and demonic energy faded, revealing Tatsuki, standing before them, very much alive. Her short blue hair was now long, very long, flowing down around to her butt, flowing behind her. Her bangs came down to her chin, wrapping around her face. Her eyes were a dark red, and her pupils were not tiny slits, and her teeth were now fangs, shown slightly in the cocky, seductive grin she now supported. Her arms had extended a little, and now appeared wing like. Long feathers extended from her arms downward, almost the remaining length of her body in the middle, a deep red in color. Her hands were now claws, slightly larger, covered in yellow scales, and her fingers now were long, sharp claws. Her chest was now slightly larger, covered by nothing more than golden armored plates covering her breasts, wrapping around the back just enough to hold the armor onto her. Extending down from the armor on the side of her body was purple spandex, wrapping around the side of her body downward, ending at the golden armor plate that covered her lower region. Her flat stomach was perfectly exposed, a small red belly ring hanging from her bellybutton. Her thighs were uncovered, and her knees were covered in a thin golden armor plate, with tiny wing like projections on the outside side. The purple latex came out of the plate, extending down to her claw like feet. She now had very large feet, covered in yellow scales, 3 long claws in the front, 1 long claw in the back. She had a beautiful red multi-feathered tail on her behind, sticking up from the plate downward to her mid-thigh. Tatsuki was a harpy, and a beautiful harpy at that.

"She's a…harpy" Renji stuttered. "It makes sense! The Harpy gene is recessive, only showing up if both parents carry it, they don't develop their powers till at least puberty, and they are often known for their lightning based attacks! How didn't I see this?" He looked over at them again, slightly confused. Tatsuki and Nnoitra stood, motionless. Nnoitra was staring in bewilderment of what had just transpired, analyzing what his next move should be. Tatsuki however stood smirking. Her look was almost lustful, her deep red eyes analyzing the situation.

"Tatsuki?" Renji asked, almost whimpering. She was really beginning to scare him. Then, out of nowhere, she vanished, appearing right behind Nnoitra with an evil smirk on her face.

"HAAAWAH!" she shouted crazily as she impaled her right claw through his chest. Her grin never faded as she pulled it out, shunpoing to a roof nearby, where she seductively licked the blood off her claw. Nnoitra huffed and grabbed his chest, barely processing what had just happened. Renji was staring in horror at Tatsuki, her human self appeared to be gone, nothing but pure demon instinct shining through. She almost seemed like….

"A hollow?" he gasped. She laughed again and stuck her right hand out to her side, a yellow whip forming in it. She made a few more inhuman laughs as she cracked the whip in front of her, a cackle of electricity taking it over. She dove down towards him, using her harpy wings for further acceleration, and swung the whip down at him. He blocked the whip with his blade, throwing it off, and she turned in the air and swung it again. This time however he grabbed it. She smirked and shot an electric wave through it, intending to shock him, but it didn't. He had stuck his sword into the ground, redirecting the electricity there, leaving her powerless. He stuck out his tongue, preparing a cero blast. Tatsuki's dark red eyes went wide as he prepared to fire, only to have a giant snake head crash into him from the side.

"Bankai….Hihio Zabimaru" Renji growled. The crash resulting from Nnoitra's impact destroying a building. The snake recoiled, and Renji ran up towards Tatsuki, who was glaring towards Nnoitra. The dust settled, revealing a very badly injured, but still alive and standing Nnoitra.

"No more kiddy shit!" he screamed. "PRAY! SANTA…"

"That's enough Nnoitra" a mellow voice demanded from behind. Nnoitra turned around with a look of shock on his face, which quickly turned to irritation.

"Yes sir" he growled. "I'll be back vampire!" he shouted, before disappearing. The source of the voice was never revealed, leaving this incident useless to Renji. Renji turned to Tatsuki, who was still glaring where Nnoitra was standing.

"I gotta say Tatsuki, you kick ass!" he tried to smile. He then remember the situation she was in, the blood, the broken bones, she couldn't be in that good of shape. Tatsuki turned, and growled at him. "Tatsuki?" he asked. She roared and lunged at him, claws and whip outstretched. He blocked with his bankai and flung her gently away. Her eyes were blood red and she lunged back at him.

"Tatsuki must have taken so much damage, and that piled on the fact that this was her first transformation, she must have lost her sanity!" Renji cursed. "Damnit!" he jumped out of the way, and did the only thing he thought might work. He disengaged his bankai, Zabimaru falling limp into his hand.

"What do you think you're doing!" Chimpette shouted. He glared at Tatsuki, who lunged at him again.

"Bakudo number 61! Rikujokoro!" 6 bars of light pierced through Tatsuki, leaving her screaming like a beast in front of him. He walked up in front of her and unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his shoulder and neck to her. "Please, come back" he pleaded, forcing her fangs into his neck. She ferociously drank from his neck; he could feel the blood exiting his body. The usually pleasurable feelings that come when a demon drinks the blood of another was gone, Renji felt nothing but pain and sadness. As Tatsuki drank the blood, her human injuries began to heal, and she began to regain her senses. When she finally realized what was going on she pulled her fangs out of Renji and looked him in the eye, her red eyes now full of confusion.

"Renji..wha.." she pleaded. He released the spell bounding her and fell to his knees from the loss of blood.

"You're gonna be ok Tatsuki" he smiled, holding the bite wound with one hand, handing Tatsuki her wristband with the other. She put it back on, and her human form returned.

"Renji…" she started, before falling foreword. Renji caught her and stood, realizing that she was still without clothes from when Nnoitra had torn them off. He took off his shirt and covered her, it fitting her small frame like a dress, and used his remaining strength to shunpo home.

Grimmjow was barely able to evade the attack that Rukia used. He jumped out of the way as the beam shot upwards, freezing everything above it. He knew he couldn't play around anymore. He landed, turning to face the petite vampire behind him. He could smell the sweet smell of blood in the air, driving him wild.

"You're gonna regret ever coming that close vampire!" he shouted. He sonidoed around behind her and impaled her through the shoulder. She screamed, falling foreword and clutching her shoulder.

"Damn…." She hissed, dropping her sword. She couldn't hold it anymore due to the damage in her shoulder. Grimmjow smiled and stuck out his hand.

"And the last princess falls" he grinned. "CERO!" a red beam came shooting out of his hand, and Rukia was unable to move to defend herself. She closed her eyes, preparing for her death, but it never came. She opened her eyes to see a head of orange, and a giant sword blocking the cero.

"So…it's you again" Ichigo coldly stated, throwing the cero off his sword.

"I've been looking for you…vampire" Grimmjow cackled.

"And I've been waiting for you" Ichigo grinned. "Now let me show you, what I've learned since the last time we met!" Ichigo picked Rukia up and shunpoed her over to Karin.

"Karin, take Rukia and run!" Ichigo ordered. Karin grabbed Rukia and looked her brother in the face, opening her eyes widely when she saw his fangs and eyes. This was not left unnoticed by Ichigo, whose face fell after witnessing this. He turned around sadly and shunpoed back towards Grimmjow.

"Wait…ICHI-Nii!" Karin yelled.

"Damnit Ichigo" Rukia hissed.

"BANKAI!" Ichigo shouted. A black swirl of demonic energy surrounded him, changing his outer appearance. He was now wearing an ankle length shikakusho that flared at the end, and had a red lining in the chest. The coat flowed in the wind behind him, and his normally large sword had been replaced by a pure black daito.

"Bankai eh? So what, you think your learning bankai will do anything?" Grimmjow mused.

"I knew bankai the last time we met, but I never got a chance to use it, however, this isn't the power I gained since then" Ichigo growled.

Are you gonna let me out king? I can't wait.

"THIS IS!" Ichigo screamed. He held his hand over his face, and a cloud of black demonic energy surrounded it. When the energy dissipated, a white mask with 11 red stripes covered his face. His sclera was not as black as his blade, and his irises were a golden yellow. He made a distorted growl, and shunpoed towards Grimmjow, clashing blades. Grimmjow's eyes were wide, he had never seen something like this.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO YOURSELF!!!" Grimmjow roared.

"I don't have time to explain, but you messed with the wrong people today Grimmjow!" Ichigo's distorted voice warned. "GETSUGA TENSHO!" The black mass of reiatsu shot out of Ichigo's sword and hit Grimmjow head on. Ichigo shunpoed back to evade the massive explosion that followed. When the dust cleared, Grimmjow stood there, bleeding and panting heavily.

"Ichi-nii" Karin gasped.

"That's the power he was learning to control" Rukia replied. "Get me my sword Karin" she asked. Karin nodded and handed Rukia her sword, and she planted it in the ground 4 times. The spots on the ground glowed a white color. With her one good arm, Rukia held her sword forward. "I'll only attack….if I have to."

Grimmjow and Ichigo continued to exchange blows, one forceful blow after another. Ichigo and Grimmjow had both received their fare share of injuries, and the area had taken more than its fair share of damage. Ichigo swung his sword at Grimmjow, only to have Grimmjow block it and slice him in the abdomen. They continued swinging, Ichigo cutting Grimmjow and Grimmjow cutting Ichigo. They were both badly wounded, but neither seemed to be feeling the effects of the damage they had sustained.

"PREPARE TO DIE…..VAMPIRE!!!!" Grimmjow snarled, charging a cero. Ichigo raised his sword, only to have his mask break, leaving him exhausted and partially defenseless. Grimmjow laughed and prepared to fire.

"TSUGI NO MAI!!!! HAKUREN!" Rukia screamed. A white wave of snow rushed forward towards Grimmjow, freezing part of his body, including the hand he was going to fire the cero with.

"DAMN YOU PRINCESS!" he screamed, preparing to fire a cero at her and Karin with his other hand.

"ENOUGH GRIMMJOW!" the same voice that had called back Nnoitra demanded. Grimmjow continued to charge the cero. "GRIMMJOW!" The voice shouted. Grimmjow chuffed and let the cero die.

"Next time vampire" he growled, busting the ice and vanishing with the voice. Ichigo panted and shakily stood, the masks breaking severely affecting his stamina. With the mask, his body didn't feel the effects of the battle on his body, however after it shattering, his body felt all the damage at once, and it was almost too much to handle. He collapsed on the rubble, his bankai disengaging and Zangetsu falling limp at his side.

I'm sorry King, I ran out of energy.

"ICHIGO!" Rukia screamed. She disengaged Sode No Shirayuki and jumped out of Karin's arms to run to his side, and collapsed as well, the blood loss from the wound in her shoulder too much for her. Sode No Shirayuki sat on Karin's shoulder in horror, unable to help her partner, until they heard a voice from behind.

"They both need blood…now." Karin and Sode No Shirayuki turned around to find Urahara, Yoruichi and Tessai standing there. Tessai grabbed Ichigo and Yoruichi grabbed Rukia and they shunpoed back to the Urahara Shoten. "Karin" Urahara sighed. Karin jumped and nodded. "Grab Zangetsu and meet us at the Urahara Shoten, were gonna give a prototype artificial blood to Ichigo and Rukia to try to heal their injuries, meet us there please." Karin nodded and Urahara shunpoed away. Karin walked over to the unconscious black snake and gently cradled him in her hands.

"Thank you Zangetsu, for protecting my brother."
