A New Enemy
"Are you ready?" came Byakuyas hollowfied again. Seishinbyo looked surprised, Shinji assumed he had never seen the full transformation before just the terrifying mask.
"Who are you?" the hollow sneered once more.
"HAHAHAHA," Washi no Tsubasa laughed, he laughed and laughed and laughed. "I am the first. The strongest." his bright red eyes narrowed and laughed again. Seishinbyo had no idea was was happening, and then it dawned on him.
"Well holy shit you crazy fucker, you made a pact with that thing." he sneered, "Is that you Washi? Its been awhile." he said with a smile.
"You dont get to smile at me." Washi sneered, his reiatsu became dense and it was difficult for all of them to breath. It was clear Byakuya in a full hollow transformation was exedingly more powerful then any of the shinigami or vasto lords.
He sonidoed behind Seishinbyo who was completely caught off guard, and the next thing he knew he felt Washi's talon like fingers wrap around his throat. His eyes widened as he felt them begin to pierce his skin. The next thing anyone knew Washi had driven his hand fingers extended into the vasto lords chest. The bright white skin stained bloody red.
"That is for everything you did to him." Washi whispered into Seishinbyo's ear. His eyes widened hearing the words as a revatation crashed over him.
"He didnt make a pact with you.. He just mastered you. You became a shingamis bitch." Seishinbyo sneered.
"While I may be a "Shinigamis bitch" as you called it the fact remains I am still alive and you are now going to die." Washi sneered right back at the hollow.
MEANWHILE..
Ichigo fought by his adoped son agaisnt two of of the stronger Vasto lords. He was wounded from the long battle, and it was showing in his speed. His long orange hair was contrasting against the back shihakusho of his bankai. His sword no longer the monsturous cleaver but the smaller black blade known as Tensa Zangetsu.
Rivu was slowly being overpoweredby one of the vasto lords but decided it was about time anyway.
"Crash! Nepuchun!" he cried out. He had a water type zanpaktou, it was named after the old roman god of the sea. His zapaktou became a three pronged golded trident, and he used to to impale vasto lord and adjucous class hollows alike.
Kensei hadnt even pulled out his blade yet, he and Shuuhei were fighting side by side. Most of the shinigami had never seen Kensei fight, he made quick work of Kurostuchi back in the rebellion, and by that point most of his division had been decimated by the crazy mans experiments.
But here he was, thowing punches so hard it was cracking vasto lord masks. He had three of them surrounding him.
"So you regretting trying us all on at once" one of the vasto lords sneered.
he finanlly pulled out his blade, "Blow it away!Tachikaze!" he yelled, his blade became small, it as a little trench knife with a brass knuckle handle. The vasto lords began laughing.
"Look how little that thing is!" one of them cried inbetween laughed. The other two couldnt even begin talking, and before any of them knew what had happened kensei rushed in for an attack, the first pulled out its sword but kenseis zanpaktou cut through it like butter, and with a swift move decapitatied the hollow. Thats when a chain warapped itself around the other two vasto lords. But it wasnt a chain, it was wind. Kensei used the wind to tie the two up and slowly the binds began to cut the two in half.
Kensei looked up at the battle going on in the sky. "You better win this Byakuya. If you fall so do we all." he said solemly.
Isshin and Toshiro where carving through lowwer class hollows keeping them out of the actually soul socitey, they made sure that none of the weaker souls that lived there would get hurt, their men pretty much guarded the wall inbetween the Serietei and the Runkongai. They were taking the heaviest losses.
Though Isshin was butchering hollow after hollow, with every slash of his sword. He was becoming tired, he was still getting used to his power, so he used a Getsuyathensou and used so much force behind it it took out half of the hollow army infront him them.
He looked up at the giant black ball of reiatsu Byakuya was producing and prayed that everything would be ok. He would hate for anything to happen now that hes back. He was glad that only the weaker hollows where coming his way, but there where a lot of weaker hollows.
They all had their jobs to do though. Isshin thought to himself as he looked up at the giant black ball of reiatsu in the sky.
"This is going to be a long day." he said looking down to his white haired ally.
Shinji and Kenpachi were stareing at the secne. They could not believe how powerfull byakuyas hollow was. His talons where wrapped around Seishinbyos throat with his other hand peircing his chest.
The hollow was slowly breathing trying to figure a way out of this predicerment. Thats when he started laughing. Two of his vasto lords had done their jobs and done them well. They where his strongest, almost as strong as he was. One was carrying the long haired Ichigo, and the other, Byakuyas adopted son Rivu. The short black spikey hair stuck out against the hollows white shihakusho.
"You wont touch his family." Washi bellowed as he released his grip in Seishibyos throat, and forced it through his stomach. Then through him away, the two gaing holes in his body bleeding profusely.
He dropped the barriar and sonidioed to the two vasto lords and before they had even seen him Kenpachi and Shinji stepped in and took the two men, and Washi hit them with a cero. No one had ever been witness to it before. The mask parted and inbetween the fangs a bright purple ball began to form, and just as they had seen it a massive purple blast let lose. Wiping out atleast half of the hollows entire army.
Slowly washi was turing back into Byakuya, who flash stepped over to Sesshinbyo.
"So are you still capbable of fighting?" byakuya asked drawing his sword. Seshinbyp gasped and stood up slowly, using his two swords to hold help him.
"That I am. I cant just let the best fuck ive ever had get away like this." he said with a smirk. Byakuyas face a somewhat pink tint to it now that Ichingo and Rivu where in ear shot of the man.
"Lets just do this." Byakuya said launching at the man, Washi had healed his body the best he could. He had the use of both of his arms and he used them.
Byakuya swung with everything he had put in one swing and it cut right through Seishinbyos swords, and cut him right down the middle. Seishinbyo dropped to his knees, breathing heavy and blood pooling at his knees, Byakuya steped up to him and looked down at him, it was hard to imagine that this was the same man, he pulled down Byakuya and kissed him.
"Ill leave you with that." he said struggling to stand up, "You know where to find me if you need me." he said giving a small chuckle. "And dont worry, I wont be back any time soon." and with a snapp of his fingers every hollow was gone leaving only him and the other two surviving vasto lords. "You know, you are always welcome at my kingdom as long as you dont plan on killing me or anything." he said.
Ishigo looked up at the injured Byakuya and saw what seemed to be a tear fall in the corner of his eyes, but he wouldnt bring that up.
Byakuya colapsed on the ground the world going black around him. "Maybe my injuries killed me." he thought to himself, "At least I would be able to rest." he fell into the blackness in hopes of finding his answer.
It had taken two months for his body to heal itself, It was noticed quickly that any healing would not work. So Byakuya sat in the darkness of him mind for two months before he could open his eyes, and there he noticed the warmth against his side and found Ichigo laying in the bed with him, and Rivu was sleeping on the chair in the corner of the room, and Shinji on the chair next to his bed.
"Finally awake then huh soutaichou?" Shinji said, Byakuya waved his hand.
"No need for formalities Shinji, you may call me Byakuya. We are friends." he said with a small smile. Kenpachi and Isshin walked into the room.
"So hes finally awake huh?" his booming voice startled everyone awake. Ichigo just burried his head back into Byakuyas side and Rivu stood up to strech his legs. Shinji looked at Byakuya,
"I guess ill be outa here, barely enough room as it is, you know where to find me if im needed." he said standing up and walking out of the room. Kenpachi was the next one out seeing as Ichigo would proabably start having a melt down soon. So he left dragging Isshin with him, leaving Byakuya, Ichigo and Rivu in the room.
As soon as everyone was gone Ichigo broke down, sobbing into Byakuyas side, even Rivu had a hard time keeping the tears supressed to a minimum. Byakuya just help on to Ichigo tighter and tighter. "Im not going anywhere." he whispered into his husbands ear.
Rivu bent down and hugged his father. "We arent going anywhere either old man." he said mockingly.
