Tadashi ducked under the weight and jumped forward, his zanpakuto held down to his side. Arashi sneered and pulled back on the chain making the weight fly back towards Tadashi. Tadashi grinned and threw his zanpakuto at Arashi and disappeared in a shunpo. Arashi pulled on the chain and blocked the zanpakuto and making it fly in the air above him.

Tadashi appeared in the air above him and grabbed his zanpakuto, "Shift in the night, Shoushikaen!" His zanpakuto quickly changed, being shorter, having a black blade, black with red diamong hilt, and the brown fur turning black. He pulled it above his head, "Gozen Kumori, Yamikizu!" He slashed down and a crescent shaped blast of black reiatsu appeared from the blade and raced down towards Arashi.

Arashi quickly jumped into the air away from it, putting his hand in front of his eyes to shield against any shrapnel. Once the dust settled down he looked towards where the attack hit and was shocked to see the surrounding forest bare of any trees.

"My zanpakuto Shoushikaen is known as the only Darkness type. Even in sunlight my darkness is powerful, I'm sorry but you have no chance to win this." Tadashi sighed and pulled his zanpakuto back before jumping forward into a shunpo.

Arashi gasped and raised his sickle above him as Tadashi appeared and blocked his strike, "No chance? Don't you dare say that before you see my full power!"

He pushed Tadashi off of him and jumped back to gain distance before swinging his chain in a circle around him, "First Sequence, Deruta!" He let his weight fly toward Tadashi who raised his zanpakuto to block. Before the weight hit him it multiplied by twenty and surrounded him.

What? Damn it I was too careless!

Arashi smirked, "Second Sequence, Arufa!" He pulled back with the sickle and the twenty chains and weights surrounded Tadashi and wrapped him up in a tight bundle. Tadashi pushed against the chains but found that with how tight it was that he wasn't able to expel as much power.

"Now you see, this is what becomes of arrogance Shinigami Captain!" His sickle blade started to glow a blood red and pulse between red and black, "Third Sequence, Omega!"

The twenty weights holding down Tadashi glowed red for a second before each of them exploded. Tadashi yelled out in pain as the heat of the explosions burned his face and body while the shockwaves pushed on him on every side.

By the time the smoke faded Tadashi was in terrible shape. His face was had smudges of black on it, his clothes were tattered but mostly his Captain Haori which had it's sleeves burned off and the bottom burned as well. Tadashi gasped in fresh air and then closed his eyes, falling forward.

The chains fell limp and Tadashi fell through the air until he ran out of length. Arashi started to laugh as he watched the Shinigami Captain dangle in the air wrapped in his chains.


Down by the trees Soifon watched in horror as Tadashi dangled in the air lifeless. Hinamori gasped and covered her mouth.

"Oh no! Tadashi!" Screamed out Hinamori as she fell to her knees and covered her face, unable to watch anymore.

Soifon's reaction was far more different.

Flashback

"Seriously though, Sofion of Squad Two, what would cause you to fall into such desperation?"

Soifon's surprise faded and she tried desperately to pulled out of his grasp, "Let me go! I want this!"

"You're stupid, a fool even." He pulled her up and threw her on the ground, "Moronic girl, do you really believe that suicide is the answer?"

Soifon growled, hating being thrown like a sack of flour, "Don't patronize me! Don't think you can lecture me because you thought you saved me!"

Tadashi laughed, "Accept the truth, you are a idiotic fool, a pitiful being really. If you really want to get back at your previous Captain then train, train and when you meet her again, kick her ass."


"So you're going to become our Captain now?" Tadashi grinned at the thought of Soifon wearing a Captain Haori.

"Yes, it appears as much." Soifon spoke as she watched the wind sway through the leaves and brush gently against the flowers. Tadashi laughed alongside her.

"How I feel for the new recruits." Soifon frowned and glared at Tadashi who smiled playfully at her as he got up to stand up.

Soifon continued watching the flowers, enjoying the night breeze.

"Soifon."

She turned her head and gasped at the sight. Tadashi was on one knee, bowing his head, his zanpakuto pulled out and laying on the ground next to his right hand, his left hand pulled against his low back.

"I, Tadashi Takeshi of the Takeshi family, hereby swear to become the best Lieutenant you deserve, to serve with all my power, with every breath, until the day I die or am not needed anymore." He looked up into her wide eyes, "I swear this on my soul and my zanpakuto."

Soifon was frozen with shock for a while before she turned around abruntly, wiping at her eyes, "Fool! Doing something so random..." She turned her head around to face him, "I accept, only one change!" She stood up and pointed down at Tadashi, "You will stop being my Lieutenant the moment I say so, not any sooner or later, got it?" Her lips were held in a stern expression and her eyes full of power.

Tadashi looked up wide eye before looking down and smiling, "Of course, Captain."


"It appears my Father went missing."

Tadashi spoke boredly as he stared of into space. Soifon frowned at him.

"Indeed, I have heard. Although he is retired he was the Lieutenant of Squad Eleven, he's not someone you can just grab." She looked up at Tadashi, "I know how Saburo feels about him, but I have never heard you speak about your father."

Tadashi shrugged, "I neither hate him or love him, throughout my life he has just been simply 'there' not a big part of my life but not a small one either." He sighed, "But my mother married him so there has to be something about him that she saw that redeemed him. Of course after she was 'exiled' he retired and spent most of his money drinking, he seemed almost eager to die."

Soifon nodded, "I see." She hummed, "Well then, it's time to go." She stood up and started to walk away, "When I get back I'll make us some dinner," She sent him a smile, "thanks for telling me your opinion."


Soifon reached out towards him, his eyes were closed shut and his body tensed. She was inches away from his cheek, her eyes wide and a red hue on her cheeks, she could feel her fingernails brushing against him softly, like a ghost.

"Ta..." "Captain Soifon!"

Soifon drew back quickly and jumped to her feet, Tadashi's hazel eyes following her as she did so, "You okay, Captain?"

Soifon sent Tadashi a small glance before shunpoing away. When Tadashi found her she was receiving information from a messenger. He landed behind her with a soft thump, his zanpakuto back on his back.

"Lieutenant Takeshi, you have been called as well, there is a meeting in three days at noon in Squad One. Be on time." And with that he was gone.

Soifon sighed before walking down the clearing, Tadashi following her as always. They stopped walking once they got to her office and before she opened the door she turned to him.

"Rukia is currently being held in the Squad Six Prison Cells. Only Captains and Squad six Lieutenants are allowed. I trust that you'll be unseen."

He was gone before the sentence was over.


Saburo hummed loudly, ignoring Tadashi who was being resrained by Soifon while he healed Hitsugaya fully.

Soifon, although yelling at Tadashi, was inwardly screaming for joy.

Soifon smiled as Tadashi finally laid down and fell asleep, grabbing his right hand in hers and silently crying as it finally hit her.

Look Suzumebachi, Tadashi is back. Everyone's okay. My family is okay. She thought as she looked down at Tadashi's peaceful face.

Flashback Over

"TADASHI TAKESHI! GET UP RIGHT THIS MOMENT!"

Tadashi's eyes snapped open grasping his zanpakuto tighter, "Gozen Kumori!" He was immediately surrounded by a large black dome, Arashi's chains blowing apart and forming back into one. The dome fell apart and Tadashi was surrounded in a black reiatsu, his zanpakuto pulsing wildly next to him.

"WHO SAID YOU COULD QUIT?" Screamed Soifon as she glared up at Tadashi who looked down on her with a serious face, "WHO SAID YOU COULD GET BEATEN SO EASILY? I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO JUST DON'T-"

Soifon closed her eyes before opening them back up, a few tears rolling down her face, "JUST DON'T DIE!"

Hinamori looked up in awe, "Captain Soifon..."

Arashi sneered, "What a useless-" A fist met his fist and he flew back several hundred feet. He groaned from the pain as he stood up fully, rubbing his swollen cheek as he stared at Tadashi who was still surrounded by his reiatsu.

"I'm sorry Soi, it seems like I made you cry." Tadashi closed his eyes and after a second opened them, his reiatsu exploding outwards. His once hazel eyes were now a deep black. He raised his zanpakuto to his face, "No more messing around, this will be the last time I act so careless!" He slashed forward and his reiatsu followed the blade until his zanpakuto was the only thing covered in reiatsu.

Hey, you stubborn old fool! It's time now, lend me your power!

What sounded like a deep chuckle sounded out in his head, I see, well then in that case let's show this fool just what we can do.

"Envelop the heavens in an everlasting darkness, Bankai!"

The next second his reiatsu exploded outward, far larger than last time. The power behind it was strong enough to push Arashi back, bend the trees, and push back Hinamori who was trying hard to breath. Soifon just grinned and looked up.

Amazing, this will be the first time he's trully ever used his Bankai in battle. During his battle with Ichirou he used it at the last second to survive an attack but now he can actually use it.

The reiatsu faded away and revealed the new Tadashi. His red hair was longer now, going down to his mid back, his eyes once again hazel. He wore a tight short-sleeved black shirt that revealed his muscles and went up his whole neck under a black haori jacket with golden trimmings that split into two at the bottom of his back that went to the back of his knees. He wore black kung fu pants with a golden stripe running down the front and the back, having a blood red belt above them. He now had on a pair of thin steel toed tabi boots with a red stripe running up them and disappearing into his pants. On his hands were gloves that covered his hands and went down to his elbow with silver spikes on each knuckle, surrounding his arms and legs were flickers of black reiatsu.

"Mugen Shousikaen."

Arashi gasped, "Damn it, why can't you just die?"

Tadashi grinned, "Die? I can't die because I have people counting on me. It's as simple as that."

Arashi screamed in anger and grabbed the bottom of the chain, spinning the sickle around him, "Omega Gosai!" The sickle glew red and started to fire of dozens of red blasts towards Tadashi. Arashi then pulled back, grabbing the sickle handle, and threw forward the weight, "Arufa Ranchi!" The weight seemed to fly off the chain and then multiply into twenty before glowing red.

Tadashi smirked and raised his hands towards the incoming blasts and explosive weights, "Keishi Kumori, Yamisen." A ball of black reiastu was formed in front of his hand that grew to the size of a cannonball. He pulled back his hand and then thrust forward with an open palm. The ball exploded outwards in a gigantic beam that quickly raced towards Arashi and the incoming attacks.

Arashi gasped at the power and quickly jumped high into the air to avoid it. The beam easily passed through his attacks and continued for a good mile before exploding in a giant explosion that shook the earth.

Shit! With that kind of power I have no chance in hell! I must retreat for now!

"I was going slower so you could react but I didn't have expect to hold myself back so much. Earlier you said you had Captain Level Strenght? From what I expereinced you have high Lieutenant but there's not a single Captain you can win against." Tadashi appeared behind him and Arashi gasped and jump away. He looked ready to fire off another attack for a diversion.

Tadashi however had enough, "This will end it, don't worry about us finding your headquartes or whatever you call it, I have already followed your spiritual trail to it. Earlier when we said we could sense you we only did so to prevent any further oppurtunities you had to assassinate any of us. At the time I, and most likely Soifon, followed your spiritual trail." He sighed, "You would've succeeded in hiding your base but we just happen to be able to track reiatsu extremely well."

Arashi yelled out, "Fool! Am I expected to believe that? Fuck you!" He jumped into the air and swung his scythe forward, "I'll kill you!"

Tadashi sighed and spread his feet, "Before I kill you let me tell you this, my Bankai is heavily dependent on Hakudo despite my other attacks." He disappeared and reappeared above Arashi, "Turning a simple kick like this," He twisted in the air and his leg met Arashi's neck, a sickening crack sounding out but not killing him. "Into an Executioner's Blade!"

He followed through with his kick, pushing Arashi toward the ground and a crescent beam of black reiastu towards the ground. Arashi would've scream if he had been able to as he watched the beam of darkness reach him.

Damn you! Arashi gasped as he was enveloped in the darkness, feeling his skin burning away and ripping open. Damn you Shinigami Captain!


Tadashi landed on the ground in front of Soifon and Hinamori in his regular state, his zanpakuto sheathed. He looked better after his Bankai but his clothes were still burnt and russled.

He looked down at Soifon, his face expressionless but his eyes filled with something akin to pure happiness, "Looks like I overdid it with that last kick."

Soifon shook her head and stepped closer to him, "Truthfully I think it was pretty badass." She shook her head before jumping forward and hugging him, her head burrowed in his neck.

"Don't do that again! I thought I almost lost you." Soifon said quietly.

Tadashi sighed and hugged her back, "Ya know, as much as I like your stubborn side, this side of you isn't bad either."

Soifon pulled back ready to say something when Hinamori giggled. They both turned to her to see her giggling madly with her eyes closed and a hand in front of her mouth.

"Wha-"

Hinamori stopped for a moment to get some breath, "You two, oh I can't wait till everyone else hears about this!"

Soifon blushed and jumped away from the hug, "About what? Anyways we need to find the base now! Let's move!" She closed her eyes and started to go right.

Tadashi smiled at herIf I get a greating like that everytime I fight I'll go insane. Well anyways might as well finish this mission and save Rikichi and all the other civilians.

"Hey Soi, you're going the wrong way."


Well it's finally out there! Tadashi's Bankai! Please tell me what you think and if you want you could private message me what you think might be a cool move. Sorry if this fight was too fast paced or quick, I kind of wanted to show that Tadashi does deserve the title of Captain and that he could get rid of a low Captain level or high Lieutenant level person. Well anyways please review since those make my day.
