Chapter 4: A Blow of Anger! Tsukishima vs. Ichigo!

"What the hell Ginjo?!" Ichigo exclaimed. "You said that you were the only who knew about that place."

"That's right." Ginjo said.

"Then how did he know? Damn!"

"However they found out, we have to get away from here."

"I can't let you do that." Yukio said, appearing in front of Ichigo and Ginjo. "You two should be more careful. You don't want to accidently hurt yourselves, running in the streets like this."

"Yeah, and just how did you know where we were?"

"Excuse me, what are you talking about? It's the same that I've always know." Yukio took out his game and press a command of his controller. A digital fly appeared out of Ginjo's shoulder and fly Yukio's game. "Don't you remember that we set up? It's to make sure that we've come in contact with each other when we are separated." Ginjo widens his eyes. "I guess that you really aren't yourself today, Kugo. Come on, let's go back." Yukio started to walk but Ichigo and Ginjo didn't move. "Relax, you guys. Mr. Tsukishima is not angry at you for your behavior. In fact, we feel sorry for you. Everything is going to be ok though. We will bring you back to your senses."

"Alright then…" Ichigo said as he started to Yukio.

"Hold on…" Ginjo said, stopping Ichigo.

"Our little friend is offering to take us to Tsukishima." Ichigo said. "That sounds like a good plan."

"Ichigo…"

"I'm ready to do…whatever it takes." Ginjo looked at Ichigo as he followed Yukio towards where Tsukishima is hiding. Ginjo sighed and followed them.

Ichigo and Ginjo followed Yukio in the forest as they walked down the dirt path towards where Tsukishima is located. Ichigo had a venomous glare on his face, focused on making Tsukishima pay for he did to his friends and family. Yukio stopped walking and turned towards Ichigo and Ginjo.

"We're here." He said. Ichigo and Ginjo looked behind the fullbringer and saw a mansion in front of them.

"Let's go." Ichigo whispered. But before he or Ginjo could move, the front door of the mansion opened and revealed Tsukishima.

"Welcome." Tsukishima greeted.

Ichigo's glare darkened when he saw Tsukishima again. "Tsukishima…" he growled as he took out his combat pass and started to charge towards the fullbringer. But Ginjo quickly grabbed his wrist and stopped him.

"Hold on!" Ginjo warned.

"Let go!"

"You can't charge in there without thinking. Don't forget. If Tsukishima's power is what I think it is, one single strike ends everything!" Ichigo's eyes widen when Ginjo said that.

"Take it easy." Tsukishima said calmly. "I'm unarmed." Ichigo looked back at Tsukishima with the same fierce glare on his face. "I mean it. I have no intention on fighting either of you. Come in, let's talk."

"You have to be kidding." Ichigo said. "With a house full of potential traps, you think that we'll just walk in?"

"You're very paranoid. If I was going to set a trap, I wouldn't wait until the minute. I would've set in the forest on your way here."

"You heard the man." Yukio said, walking past Ichigo and Ginjo. "Hurry up and come inside." Ichigo and Ginjo followed Yukio inside the mansion as Tsukishima closed the door.

After the door was closed, the lights turned on and confetti fell from the ceiling as Ichigo's friends and family looked at Ichigo and Ginjo. "Welcome back, you guys!" They shouted happily in unison. Ichigo looked at everyone with a shocked expression on his face.

"What are you doing just standing there?" Ikumi said, grabbing Ichigo's arm and dragged him towards his friends. "Come on in and join everybody."

"Glad you could make it." Mizuiro said.

"Ichigo!" Tatsuki said.

"It's good to see you." Keigo said.

"Ichigo." Karin said.

"We've been waiting." Yuzu said. Ichigo looked at everyone with a confused look on his face. Weren't they yelling at him to apologize to Tsukishima an hour ago?"

"It's alright, Ichigo." Ginjo said. "These people consider Tsukishima to be a friend. Apparently from their behavior, they consider you to be a friend as well. You don't have to worry about them attacking you. Just stay calm."

"You should be happy!" Yuzu said to her brother. "Cousin Shu said that he's not angry at you when he hit him and cut hit head." Ichigo's eyes widen when he heard what Yuzu said.

"That's right." Keigo said. "You're lucky that he's the kind of the person who's so forgiving. Make sure that you apologize to him when you have to the chance."

"He's right." Ikumi said. "You should apologize, Ichigo."

"Good idea, how about it?" Mizuiro said.

"Come on it's the right thing to do." Ichigo looked at everyone with widen eyes as the word "apologize" continue ring in his ears and an image of Tsukishima looking behind his shoulder with an evil smirk on his face enters his head. Ichigo got out of Izumi's grip and started to run out of the room.

"Ichigo, where are you going?!" Yuzu shouted in concern.

'Damn it!' Ginjo thought as he followed Ichigo. 'He just couldn't bare it."

Ichigo continued to run through the mansion until he saw a flight of stairs leading to the second floor. "Bastard!" Ichigo cursed as he started running up the stairs.

'I wished that I could've just killed him back there.' He thought. 'But I couldn't, not in front of everyone. If I did that, I would've endangered my friends and family…all of them. Yuzu…Karin…Tatsuki…Keigo…Mizuiro…Ms. Ikumi… I won't let that happen!' Once Ichigo got on the second floor, he ran for the first door he saw. Once he opened it, he saw Kutsuzawa, Jackie, and Riruka in the room, waiting for him.

"Hello, it's good to see you." Kutsuzawa said. "You seem to be doing well."

"Yes…" Tsukishima said, causing Ichigo to widen his eyes. "In fact, he appears to be brimming with energy. It actually makes me quite happy." Ichigo looked at Tsukishima and jumped away from him. "It's interesting. I thought you didn't like me but I could be wrong. I mean you came up here all by yourself and voluntary put yourself in situation you're surrounded. Now then…" An explosion erupted in the hallway behind Tsukishima, getting the fullbringer's attention.

"I've destroyed the stairway." A voice said as the smoke cleared, revealing Ginjo with his fullbring activated. "Yukio is the only one who has the power to get up here. That levels the playing field. So now, there's really nothing to hold you back. Fight him with everything you got! Let him have it, Ichigo!"

Ichigo took out his combat pass and activated his completed fullbring. Tsukishima looked behind his shoulder surprised as Ichigo charged towards him. Tsukishima took out his bookmark and activated his fullbring but Ichigo disappeared. Tsukshima looked behind him again and saw Ichigo charging at the two crossed blades with Ichigo going pass him. Ichigo appeared behind Tsukishima again and the swords collide again with Ichigo slowly getting the better of the exchange. Then Ichigo started to disappear and reappear around the fullbringer, making it hard for Tsukishima to fight back.

"Enough!" Jackie shouted trying to interfere but Ginjo stepped in front of her.

"Just back off." Ginjo threatened, ready to attack his former comrades if he has to.

Tsukishima continued to follow Ichigo's movements with his eyes, trying to find where he would attack next. Tsukishima charged towards Ichigo, stopping Ichigo's movements and went pass him so he could escape.

"You're not getting away!" Ichigo shouted as huge black cross came out of his combat pass. Ichigo fired black wheel-like projectile from his cross, aiming them at Tsukishima. Tsukishima quickly blocked the first one but was hit by the others. Then a black wave of spirit energy erupted from Ichigo's blade as he charged at Tsukishima and slashed his arm.

Tsukishima narrowed his eyes blood started to come out of the cut. "So that's your fullbring in its completed form?" he asked, looking at Ichigo. "So you've come a long way in such a short time."

"Is that supposed to be a complement?" Ichigo questioned bitterly. "You might as well speak while you still have the opportunity. My mission is to kill you." Before Ichigo could attack again, an explosion erupted in the room he was in. Ichigo jumped out of the smoke as he looked around for the person who tried to attack him. His eyes widen when he saw two very familiar people, standing side-by-side with Tsukishima. It was Chad and Orihime.
