Ukitake and Love watched with bated breath as the thing dropped Ichigo, who landed gracefully on his feet as something began to form in his hand. It started with a handle wrapped in what looked like gauze, then formed quickly into a lethal point, growing larger than Ichigo. The blade was gorgeous, steel on one side and black on the other with a blood red dragon running through it. The spiritual pressure became more controlled as Ichigo turned to the thing and said in a deadly voice, "Zangetsu." His eyes had turned bright red, almost matching his hair. They had gotten so used to seeing him mellow and cheerful that it was hard to imagine the same kid looking so deadly and serious.
Ichigo went at the things head, his movements as fluid and graceful as a shadow or water. Ichigo caught up to it and sliced right through its head as Kensei showed up through the trees, appearently having regained conciousness. His expression went from relief at seeing Ukitake and Love to shock as he saw ichigo and how easily he had defeated the troublesome hollow.
Ichigo slung the blade onto his back and it wrapped itself in the gauze-like stuff as Ichigo went over to Kensei."Are you alright? Was Shinji alright?" Kensei seemed to snap out of shock pretty fast as he replied,"I'm fine and I'm sure he is too, why don't you and Ukitake go find him while Love and I take care of Hiyori and Mashiro." Ichi nodded and led Ukitake to the spot where he saw Shinji land.
"What was that?" Kensei asked Love. "That was pretty freakin' awesome", Love responded.
