MizukixTsukiyomi's Notes: Thank you all for the reviews and everyone who subscribes to this! It makes me happy to know that this is one of the biggest stories in my list! Yay! While typing this story out and even when outlining the plot line and such, I was listening to various OST's. Especially the Naruto ones and the Bleach ones. They have good music! Let me jsut say! Take a quick hear to it while reading my fics...or any fic! They fit perfectly! But anyways, my new OC makes his debut here! I made him different! And no he won't be all that strong and what not!
He will have some fights going on...but later! I did not make him to seem like the big shot and the strongest guy here! No! There is a reason to why he is here! He will have weaknesses like the rest. Please don't be harsh on me. And I am drawing him and it will soon be posted on deviantart. Please look forward to it. Again, thank you!
SPECIAL NOTE!
If you have seen the earlier chapters of this story...they pretty much suck in grammar and punctuation mostly! They will go under revising starting June 20th! So a few changes might be made! Just in editing! Heads up to all!

"So what? No one going to talk now?" smirked Jakotsu. His blade resting on his shoulder. Eyes carefully scanning the area around. No one had made movements since his question was asked: "Why do you look so similar to Kagome-chan? Well not that you two are identical but you do have some of her features."
"No," lips spoke - surprising Jakotsu. His answer had been delivered from the woman he had asked.
Kikyo.
"I think you got it the other way around," slowly, Kikyo went down the hill.
"K-Kikyo! Stay back!" shouted Inuyasha.
In graceful steps, Kikyo's eyes had made a lock with Jakotsu's: "She has my features, as you call it. She is my reincarnation."
"Reincarnation?" repeated Jakotsu. Jakotsu sighed: "Oh I see, you are the famous priestess that was once deeply in love with that hanyou over there!" His sights changed to the silver haired target he first wanted: "Sorry to break the news priestess, but it seems that I will be taking Inuyasha for myself."
"H-His he really serious...?" whispered Hisagi. Ikkaku's nerve struck his head: "I don't fucking care. His voice is enough to annoy the hell out of me! Calling me ugly! Heck! If Yumichika was here his ass would be in pieces by now...," an image of his friend appeared inside his head; laughing. "Yup, he is the type to take everything up the ass."
"Are you not going to answer us then?" Kikyo spoke out loud, once again catching everyone's attention. The only response they got back was the one of a smile. A smile spreading on the cross-dresser's face.
Hitsugaya sighed as he loosed his grip on his hilt: "Then that means he knows nothing about Aizen nor this Naraku demon."
"Half-demon. If I may correct you?" grinned Miroku.
"Doesn't make a difference that he is part of Naraku's army!" Inuyasha jumped up with his sword in hand. Blade meet blade, golden eyes looking at the dull black ones he was starting to hate.
"You know," whispered Jakotsu. "You are so adorable when you get angry!"
"Oh shut it!" Inuyasha jumped back in front of Kikyo. "Kikyo! Stay back! Who knows what tricks this guy might play next!"
"Oh come on! Everyone can attack me at the same time and trust me," Jakotsu's orbs narrowed down. "I will win." Everyone's eyes widened at the sudden smoke rising from the ground. Jakotsu's eyes stayed at their same size: 'Damn! Why is he butting in!'
Looking at his opponents, he placed his sword back in place: "Well, it seems like it is time for me to go! If I were you all, I would leave this place...before you are all dead from suffocation!" Running away and blending in to the black smokes that were rising even more, Kikyo stopped Inuyasha from going any further: "Let him go. I am sure it won't be the last time we see him."
"DAMN!" shouted Inuyasha.
Sango's eyes widened as she placed her mask: "Guys! This smoke is poisonous! Above ground! Now!" Miroku jumped onto Kirara along with Sango as they flew up hill where Kagome had been before. Following, Inuyasha carried Kikyo bridal style noticing that the Shinigami with them had already been floating up before Sango had said anything.
Hitsugaya sighed: "This isn't good. This just brings more problems into Soul Society if dead people are being brought back to life."
"Where do you think that damn Kurosaki went to?" asked Ikkaku as he looked out into the distance where the forest was being covered by its shadows of branches. Rangiku crossed her arms: "If anything, he didn't come back. He probably got occupied with something?"
"That could be a possibility," replied Hitsugaya's following Ikkaku's view.
"If that is the truth. Do you think...it has to do with Higurashi-chan by any chance?" questioned Hisagi. Hitsugaya looked down at the hanyou gently placing his dead priestess on her feet. His eyes narrowed down: "Hanyou."
"What?" glared Inuyasha. He was a bit surprised they could float up high. Never had they been able to do that...unless with some wind or wings.
"Can you smell Kurosaki anywhere?"
"Kurosaki?" Inuyasha's eye brow curved up.
"They mean Ichigo-san," smiled Miroku.
"Oh, the orange top," nodded Inuyasha. Closing his eyes, he tried locating the scent. "It's a little faint, but it's coming from that side."
"Anyone else you can locate?" added Hitsugaya. Inuyasha scoffed: "No. I only smell that guy's traces. Nothing farther than that."
Hitsugaya nodded: "Alright. Let's move forward then. I am can feel that Kurosaki might of found something."
Step by step echoed in the dark room. Only being lighted by the few torches that surrounded the room. Noticing the figure in front, he noticed his partner looking down at the larger figured crystal that now floated in the middle of the room.
"Aizen?"
Aizen's face turned to look at the half-demon walking towards him: "Oh, Naraku? Did you send Bankotsu?"
"Yes I did," smirked Naraku. "Although, it seems two of your Espadas have gone to follow him and bring Kagome back."
"Oh? Have they?" Aizen's attention turned to look at his experiment. "Let them have their fun for awhile. It doesn't last much you know?"
Naraku's eyes scanned the crystal and the being inside: "Do we still need time before we can let him out officially." He heard a small chuckled coming out from Aizen, making him look at him.
"No really," he answered back. Walking closer to the crystal, his fingers came to touch it. Slowly, cracks began to appear. Chips of the crystal flew as the whole crystal cracked into pieces. Aizen smirked as Naraku's eye brow rose at the being that was kneeling down. No clothes on him but his features were something that made Naraku curious.
"What is he?" he questioned.
Slowly, Aizen's new creation responded with only his head coming up - revealing his red bloodshot orbs that looked like a cats. His skin was tanned unlike he had ever seen from the other Espadas. It was a light colored tan but his hair made such a big contrast. Long silver hair that reached down to his hip. He looked perfectly fit, just like Grimmjow and Bankotsu. His height around 5'10".
Aizen walked towards the newcomer. His smirk never fading: "Meet my newest and ultimate creation."
"To me...he looks more like, a demon?" commented Naraku.
"Well, you are right in that. He is a demon no doubt. A dragon demon."
"Interesting," continued Naraku. "A full blooded demon?"
"No," answered Aizen. "He has the abilities of a demon...Espada and Shinigami all combined."
Naraku's eyes widened a bit: "H-How were you able to do that? You said it yourself that it was hard enough to create an Espada even with the Hogyoku in hand-" his words left his mouth, surprised to see a certain object on Aizen's hand. "I-Is that the Hogyoku you were talking about? I thought the Shinigami you told me about got their hands on it after you had escaped."
"I made a duplicate before the war. I was smart enough to hide it," a small chuckle escaped Aizen's lips: "In other words, the Hogyoku along with the Shikon no Tama in your hands - at least part of it- made it able to create the most powerful Espada,demon and Shinigami combined!"
Naraku's eyes shifted to see the new creation starring down at the ground: "So? Is he fully developed to go out now?"
"Well, not quite. But he can be sent off to missions and such," nodded Aizen. Naraku nodded with him and soon a grin of his own appeared on his lips: "Then, as his first mission..." he caught Aizen's attention. "Why don't you send him to retrieve Kagome? Let's test his abilities as this new creature."
"Not such a bad idea," smiled Aizen. Looking down at his experiment he continued to talk: "Go get ready and retrieve Espada zero. Her name is Kagome, she is one of us and has disobeyed orders. Also look for Grimmjow and Ulquiorra and tell them to head back here. Do not fight under any circumstances and retrieve her. If she fights back, then knock her out."
His creation nodded.
"Is that understood, Zenaku?" smirked Aizen.
"Yes, Aizen-sama."
"Good, now go after getting some garments on you."
Jumping down from their height of the tree they stood on, the leader of the Band of Seven looked behind his shoulder, noticing the two Espadas walking to him - quietly. Grimmjow growled under his breath - soft enough so the two in the middle of the field woulnd't hear him: "Who the hell does he think he is?" Cracking his knuckles, his eye brows meet at a point of annoyance: "This guy deserves to be sliced!"
"Calm down," whispered Ulquiorra. "Bankotsu? Weren't you supposed to retrive Kagome?"
"I was going to get her by uses of knocking her out with Mukotsu, but it seemed like she beat me to it in giving him orders," he explained.
"She gave him orders?" repeated Ulquiorra. "What did she tell him to do?"
"To go and help my other younger brother, Jakotsu in eliminating the enemies but to keep one alive," he continued.
"Let me guess, it was to keep this idiot alive?" growled Grimmjow. Bankotsu scoffed: "Nope! The hanyou."
"The hanyo-? Wait, then that means she already knew he was coming here," whispered Ulquiorra as he looked back at the couple in front. Grimmjow's eye brow curved upwards: "She already knew? How?"
Ulquiorra's eyes narrowed down into its slit: "Who knows. But that is what we are going to find out. Bankotsu, go report this to Aizen-sama and Naraku-sama."
"You don't need to tell me that," glared Bankotsu as he disappeared into the shadows. Ulquiorra sighed as he closed his eye lids: "Let's stop him." Cracking his knuckles, Grimmjow smirked: "Finally...a battle!"
'W-What does he think he is doing?' Kagome's voice screamed inside her head. For all she knew, her concentration was hazy and a blur. A storm swaying inside her head and it wasn't how Espadas were. A pulse came upon her, feeling it within her memory as more images emerged inside.
A slender tall woman stood in front. Long black hair as her red orbs stayed focused on her: "That is the price you must pay."
The same damn hanyou looking at her - carrying a woman behind his back: "Are you okay?" His concerning eyes told her that he was worried..very.
"Come on...," there he was. The Kurosaki Shinigami in front. He was offering his hand...to her?
The image changed. He was sitting on a roof top - looking up at the dark sky with only the moon above. He was talking. Something about his past? A small smile appeared on his lips as he looked to his left.
The last image twirled quick in one swift movement and suddenly he was there...giving a small peck on someone's lips. Hers?
"STOP!" Kagome pushed away creating a distance between them. "Stop...w-why are you doing this? Look! You know something about me that I don't! Tell me what you know! And it better be the truth! No dirty tricks!"
"If you would only listen to me once!" shouted Ichigo. "This isn't you! You were hum-" he was cut off at the sudden reiatsu he felt coming from his right. Slowly, his eyes glided to the corner of his pupils to see the two Espadas he made as rivals.
"I think that will be enough, Kurosaki Ichigo," Ulquiorra snuck his hands in his pockets.
Kagome's head spun to her left, seeing the two that were probably there to take her back by force. Her eyes narrowed down in annoyance. More trouble...just what she needed. Here she was and was finally going to hear some information from her enemy she needed to know and these two came at the wrong time! 'Stupid Espadas!'
Grimmjow chuckled: "This will be the end of you, Ichigo!"
Ichigo's eyes came into a slit. Sneaking his hand to the hilt of his sword - staining it with his blood - he revealed it and came to point at the two opponents in front. Surprisingly, Kagome came forward with her sword in hand: "You two. Why did you come?"
"Why else? To bring you back," answered Ulquiorra.
"I have business to take care of," she continued.
"Business that wasn't ordered or told to the superiors. You have broken the rules. Aizen-sama and Naraku-sama have requested you back," a glare came down. "Even if it means that we might have to use force on you or spill blood."
'Bastards! It's like I am in neither team. Nor do I take this Shinigami's side or the Espadas! What is going on? My brain is playing games with me! This wouldn't of happened if Ichigo and that Inuyasha weren't here! I would be fine and obeying orders like I should be!' Kagome's hand tightened around the hilt. "He is my prey! Leave!" she shouted.
"I'm sorry princess," Kagome's eyes widened along with Ichigo's as they saw Grimmjow next to them. Kagome jumped up, with Ichigo sliding to the left. Landing on a branch, she heard Grimmjow continue: "But that isn't up to you. And I already told you," his angry expression came into play. "He is mine to deal with!" Before long, Grimmjow and Ichigo clashes blades, each other's eyes locked on.
Ulquiorra only watched as the battle slowly unfolded: 'To my assumptions, I can see that Grimmjow has his feelings locked onto the new Espada, Kagome. If that were true, Kagome is coming back to her human side...slowly her Espada senses and reasoning are fading. It won't be a good ending to her or us. Grimmjow says that what triggers her mind are that Shinigami and hanyou and if that is true...they must be dealt with first before any of our plans move forward!'
Disappearing in a flash, he appeared behind Kagome. Turning her head back she managed to avoid his arms grabbing her arms. Jumping down, her eyes meet the emerald that held so much hatred.
"It would be wise to not put up a fight, Kagome," glared Ulquiorra.
"I am not! I am just trying to get answers!" she shouted back.
"Answers that are futile! You are what you are! You serve only Aizen-sama and Naraku-sama for their purposes!"
"That is a lie!" exclaimed Ichigo - still trying to push Grimmjow away. Jumping back into a flip, his eyes caught the scene that was in front. Everyone was still. Kagome starring at him with Ulquiorra doing the same. Grimmjow only smirked as he swung his sword in hand. "Kagome isn't a weapon!"
'Weapon?' whispered Kagome in her head.
Ichigo jumped up: "Getsuga Tensho!" His attack came flying towards the blue haired Espada. Grimmjow's eyes widened. He had no time to dodge or block it - only with the option of taking the impact. A big explosion was created - smoke appearing on the battle area. Ichigo landed on his two feet as the smoke subsided. His own orbs expanded seeing Kagome with her sword.
She had slashed Getsuga Tensho with one movement? How fast was she really?
"Although I need answers...don't take it lightly that I am on your side. Like I said, I need my answers," she glared.
"Will you just listen to me?" shouted Ichigo. "These guys just said you were like a weapon to Aizen and Naraku! Can't you get that into your head?"
"No, I can't. I was created by Aizen-sama and Naraku-sama. I exist for them and only them...just like the other Espadas and minions. You dare to hurt one, the others come after you."
"Well, not really," scoffed Grimmjow. "If Ulquiorra was killed, it would be like a favor to me. But thanks for saving me, princess."
Kagome stayed silent as she swung her sword to remove the rest of the smoke around the area. Ichigo growled under his breath: "If that is the way you want it, Kagome. Just like they said, if they need to use violence...so be it! I will too! I will bring you back no matter what! I won't give up! I'll show you how strong my heart is to promise to complete their only goal!"
"Can you still smell him?" asked Miroku who rode Kirara behind Sango.
"Keh! It's faint...but I do smell somethign weird in the air," his eyes dropped down to the ground. "And it's all over the ground."
Rangiku's eyes expanded, recognizing the distant smell: "This is poisonous smoke! It's the same one from before back with that ugly crossdresser!" Hitsugaya scoffed: "This isn't good! Someone is on our tail! We need to find the person creating this smell. Inhaling it more will cause us to faint...or worse!"
"But...who could it be?" glared Hisagi as he looked around, landing on a branch.
"If I remememer correctly," continued Miroku. "I heard the villagers say that one of the Band of Seven specialized in smokes...or poisons more likely. He could be culprit..."
"If he is," whispered Kikyo. "Where could he be?"
"Shouldn't you know...or sense it?" Ikkaku crossed his arms over his chest.
"Excuse me?"
"You are the priestess, right? You can sense the jewel shards, that is what Ichigo told me. All the members of the Band of Seven have one or more. You could easily detect it, if you could, am I correct?" Ikkaku looked at her in direct eye contact. Inuyasha growled under his breath: "Watch your mouth baldy!"
"And watch yours, mutt!" he shouted back.
"There is no sense in fighting with each other!" exclaimed Hisagi. "Can you sense him or not?" Kikyo only glared until her eyes closed: "He is a few feet away to the right."
"Then let's go!" Hitsugaya went on first, the gang following afterwards.
"S-Sesshomaru-sama! Where are you going?" shouted the little green tag along as a small girl behind followed with a two headed dragon. Sesshomaru looked at the path he headed to. He continued to walk, ignoring the pest behind him.
"You really shouldn't disrupt him from his thoughts, Jaken-sama," smiled Rin.
"What do you know!" he humphed.
Sesshomaru continued to walk, making Jaken follow along with the girl and the dragon.
"W-Wait for us, Sesshomaru-sama!" he cried.
Golden eyes narrowed down at the path in front: 'That hanyou is headed to that direction. If anything, something is going on. I need more information on Naraku and this new enemy.'
"KAGOME!" Ichigo came jumping up, only to be surprised when a sudden flash came forth. His blade came down to clashing...a bare arm? A light tan colored arm. Jumping back, he noticed the smoke subsiding more - revealing the person behind. Kagome's eyes widened with only Grimmjow growling and Ulquiorra curious of the upcoming person.
"Who the hell are you?" exclaimed Grimmjow in his growl.
Red orbs caught the other red pair behind that belonged to the female Espada. His arm came up a few inches making Ichigo take a step forward: "Don't you dare touch her!"
Kagome's eyes narrowed down: "W-Who are yo-" her eyes expanded in shock as his fingers meet her pressure point next to her neck. Her eyes slowly closed down in a hazy view. Falling into the mysterious man's arms, Grimmjow took stance along with Ichigo.
"Let her go!" shouted Ichigo.
Ulquiorra walked foward: "Who might you be? Answer or suffer your pitiful death."
Everyone noticed his red eyes...almost like a demon's with the black slit in the middle going vertically. His long silver hair had been up into a high ponytail that was totally an opposite to his light tan colored skin. He wore a high white collar vest that only went shoulder cut length as the back of his vest reached down to his knees like a cape while the front only closed by one button. The rest of the vest showed his chest being wrapped by bandages. His pants were black only to be tucked in by black boots.
Ichigo noticed the sword strapped onto his back. The thing that really caught his attention was the bandage wrapped around his left muscle.
"Who are you?" he questioned, his hold tightend around his hilt.
A sigh passed his lips: "My name is Zenaku. I have been ordered to take Kagome back to Aizen-sama and Naraku-sama."
MizukixTsukiyomi's Notes: Thank you for reading! Zenaku has finally made his big appearance!
By the way, Zenaku means evil in japanese! Although evil in japanese is also waru or something like that (correct me if I am wrong), but Zenaku means evil when being changed into a name for a person or something. And pretty much...it sounded cool!
Again, thank you for reading! And revising will come soon! Promise you that! Don't forget to review. Thank you and see you next update!
