Bleach 17: True Power
Rukia & Ichigo
"Do you know what's today?" Rukia asked.
"Thursday." Ichigo replied.
"No idiot its November 11th, Uryu's Birthday." Rukia replied throwing a pillow at him.
"What? Todays Uryu's Birthday, so how old is he? 64?" Ichigo said and Rukia threw an even bigger pillow at him.
"He's not that old Ichigo I think you should get glasses." Rukia said.
"Hey its not my fault is the guy acts like he's 80 years old." Ichigo said.
"He's mature, unlike some people I know who are in this very room." Rukia said.
"Who? Ririn?" Ichigo asked.
"No! You Ichigo, You're an Idiot...l Rukia said and laughed.
"I thought Kon was the idiot." Ichigo said.
"I'll be anything for Rukia..." Kon said getting onto the bed.
"I'm sure you would." Ichigo replied.
Orihime & Yoruichi
Orihime was getting out of bed. She walked towards the door and it opened.
"Yoruichi." Orihime saw it was her who opened the door.
"Freshen up, we have training to do."
Orihime quickly walked out.
'I wonder if she'll be able to draw out her power today.' Yoruichi thought.
"I'm ready."
"Good."
Yoruichi walked outside and saw Bonnie, the boar.
Yoruichi threw a knife at it. The knife hit Bonnie.
"Yoruichi? Why did you do that!"
Orihime was running over to heal Bonnie.
"Wait! Let her die..." Yoruichi said.
"What? Why!"
"You brought back Ririn from nothing why are you worried?"
Orihime just stood there and watched.
"Now go bring her back."
"Souten Kisshun" An Orange dome covered Bonnie. The knife fell out of her wound. Her wound started closing and the fur started growing back.
"See, Orihime nothing to worry about." Yoruichi said.
"I guess you were right."
"Orihime, you can reject time over small areas, to heal someone. Now I want you to reject something even bigger, I want you to erase something from existence." Yoruichi said.
"What? But I don't know how..."
Shuno popped out from her hair pin.
"Yes you do. All you have to do is believe in us, and yourself and you'll be able to do anything." Shuno said.
"See Orihime you can do it."
"I'll try, but what should I reject?" Yoruichi looked around. She saw a rock near a small dead bird.
She picked up the rock and gave it to Orihime.
"Reject this."
"A rock?"
"Yes."
Orihime took the rock in her hands.
"Souten Kisshun, I reject"
An orange glow surrounded both Orihime and the rock.
Orihime started concentrating. The rock started turning into sand in her hands. The sand swirled around in a circle.
"I...reject..." The sand started dissapearing grain, by grain.
All the sand was completely gone now.
The dead bird that was lying on the ground got up and flew past them.
"I thought that bird was dead." Orihime said.
"It was, you see that bird died when this rock fell on it, when you erased the rock from existence everything that the rock has ever caused or done has never happened too."
"Its quite confusing."
"Let me explain it in another way. Just say you had to erase Rukia from existence. She would have never been born, so Byakuya and his wife would have never looked for her, Rukia would have never become a soul reaper, and Ichigo would have never gotten his soul reaper powers from Rukia. And everything Ichigo has done because of his powers would have never happened." Yoruichi said.
"That's..."
"A lot to consider when using your powers like this, I know."
"Am I really that powerful?"
"If you master your powers like we've been trying to do, you'll be able to erase entire evens from existence by just saying a few words."
Orihime was silent. She didn't know if she could handle such power.
"Come on, I want you to reject something even bigger." Yoruichi said and started walking.
Rukia & Ichigo
They were in Ichigo's room.
"I wonder how Orihime's doing." Ichigo said.
"Yeah they've been gone for almost a week now." Rukia replied.
"We have a lot of soul reapers based in Karakura town."
"About that, Hisagi and Izuru have been called back to the soul society." Rukia said.
"Why?"
"Because now that their Captains are gone they have to take responsibility for their squads and with the last attack on the Seretei they could have used the help."
"What attacked the Seretei?" (Court Of Pure Souls)
"Adhucha..."
"Why?"
"That remains unsolved for now."
Orihime & Yoruichi
"I want you to reject this." Yoruichi said and pointed to a small lake.
"What? Why?"
"This lake was formed a few years ago. This lake used to be a crater. It formed during a fight with the Gillion. The waterfall at Kukkaku's training ground leads to a river and that river's water is flowing into this crater."
"I still don't understand why I have to reject it." Orihime replied.
"If this lake overflows it will wash away a part of the Rukon district and at this rate that should be about a few months."
"But if I wanted ti reject this crater being made then I would have to reject the thing that made the crater."
"Yes, but you can also just reject certain phenomena, like this. You could reject a person being born and everything that they have done would have never existed or you can just reject a single phenomena like this lake." Yoruichi said.
"If you don't mind me asking...how do you know all of that?"
"I've been studying your powers ever since the first time I trained you and Chad when everyone went to save Rukia, that's how I've been able to train you." Yoruichi said.
"That explains a lot."
"Now are you ready?"
Orihime walked closer towards the lake.
"Shuno, Ayame." She released them. They flew until they were on opposite sides of the lake.
"Souten Kisshun" They started glowing and created a dome over the lake.
"I reject!" The dome started glowing brighter.
The water in the lake started rising, as though it were being sucked up by a black hole.
The water dissapeared completely. The ground surrounding the crater started re-forming like small rectangles.
The crater started getting smaller and then dissapeared completely. The ground was in the place of the crater as though nothing had happened to it.
"See, I told you, you can reject anything."
"I guess I can..."
"It doesn't matter if its a living thing or not, you can reject it's entire existence."
Orihime turned around to face Yoruichi.
"So do you want to return to the Soul Society now?" Yoruichi asked.
"No...I think I could use a break for a little while." Orihime said.
"You deserve it."
Ichigo & Rukia
They had just finished eating dinner in Ichigo's room.
Rukia's Soul Pager went off.
"Its an Arrancar." Rukia said.
"Let's go."
They released their Soul Reaper forms and went out through his window.
They were running down the street when they met up with Rangiku and Toshiro.
"Did you sense it too?" Toshiro asked.
"Yeah." Ichigo replied.
They stopped in the middle of the street when they saw her standing there.
"Nel!" Ichigo said.
"Ichigo!" Nel shouted and ran towards him grabbing him into a hug that lifted him off the ground.
"Nel...what...are...you...doing...here!" Ichigo said between squeezes.
"As you can see once I fully healed I regained my normal form and since I heard about the Bounts I decided to come help you." Nel replied.
"Thanks Nell, but we really don't need your help." Ichigo said.
"Yes you do, if you want to defeat them that is." Nel said and pointed towards the sky.
Right above them were:
Souske Aizen
Cayote Stark (Espada Number 1),
Tia Halibel (Espada Number 3),
Ulquiorra Schiffer (Espada Number 4),
Nnoitra Gilga (Espada Number 5) and
Szayel Apporo Granz (Espada Number 8)
"How the hell are all of them back!" Ichigo shouted.
"They're not. These are just Dolls."
"What do you mean?"
"The Bount Mabashi's Doll can clone itself and Yume's Doll can make herself look like anyone who is dead."
"They have combined their power. These are just Mabashi's Dolls that look like our fallen enemies thanks to Yume's Doll."
"Wait...I thought Yume's Doll was just the embodiment
of all her fighting skills and Spiritual Pressure." Rangiku said.
"They have absorbed a lot of Reishi. Just like how the Bounts that entered the Soul Society gained new powers she must have gained these new powers through absorbing Reishi here in The World Of The Living." Rukia said.
"Well at least they only look like the real ones."
"Wait...you said Jinsei was the embodiment of all Yume's fighting skill and spiritual pressure. So if they have taken on those forms does it mean that the dolls can fight just like the Espada's they are trying to be." Toshiro asked.
"There's only one way to find out!" Ichigo said and withdrew his Zanpakuto.
"Bankai!" Ichigo and Toshiro shouted releasing their Zanpakuto.
Song: Storm Center
"Tensa Zangetsu" (Heavenly Chain Cutting The Moon)
"Dai Guren Hyorinmaru" (Great Crimson Ice Ring)
All 5 of them flew towards the Dolls.
To Be Continued...
Closing Theme: Tsuji Shion - Sky Chord
Substitute Shinigami Work Diary
They were outside Ichigo's house.
"Ichigo!" Rukia shouted.
"What is it Rukia?" Ichigo asked.
"I haven't fought in a while. And since you are just a Substitute Shinigami I'm allowed to practice on you."
"What! You just made that up didn't you..." Ichigo shouted.
Rukia withdrew her Zanpakuto.
"Wait just hold on for a second."
"Dance, Sode No Shirayuki" Rukia released her Zanpakuto.
"Rukia!" Ichigo shouted as she jumped towards him.
