Chapter 3! Thank you all for being patient. It takes me a bit to plan while I am very busy. I'm so happy I'm posting this...can't wait for the summer seasons..and I have nothing else to say. Enjoy!
Byakuya's eyes narrowed as he looked at the attacking blades. The blades then were blocked by Tokuro's zanpakuto, a colossal sword with an odd shape. "That zanpakuto, it's like yours, Ichigo, but it's even bigger!" Rukia said as Tokuro has stood up, her vision back as her red eyes fixed on Byakuya as his sword was in its original form. "You will have to prove your innocence in battle." He said, pointing the sword at Tokuro. Ichigo grasped a hold of his sword when Byakuya glared at him. "No, Ichigo. Not now. This isn't a duty for a substitute soul reaper..." He muttered. Ichigo stomped his foot. "C'mon! You guys act all billy bad ass when I end up saving-!" His voice was then muffled by Rukia's hand covering his mouth as he groaned and pulled it off. "Look at the scars on her forehead, near her eyes. Those couldn't have been inflicted by Byakuya's sword." Uryu pointed out. She had very odd scars indeed.
"I don't think talking about it now is appropriate. Let's be careful and see where this fight leads." A voice said behind Ichigo. It was Toshiro, who seemed to think Byakuya was jumping to conclusions too quickly. Ichigo shut his mouth as he turned. Tokuro then pointed the large sword at Byakuya, holding it in a certain position. "Spread your wings, Tsubasakageurufu." ((lit. "Winged Shadow Wolf".)) she said As her sword disintegrated into the shadows as the shadows then wrapped around her arms, in her control. Both had engaged in their shikai commands as they collided, neither doing damage. "Well I see your power. But I cannot see you surviving this." Byakuya said, dropping his sword to the ground as it disappeared. "Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi." He calmly said as the swords appeared behind him.
"He's already in Bankai and it hasn't been even five minutes!" Ichigo said surprised. Tokuro sighed. "Sadly, two can play it that game." She said. "Bankai, Yaminoakuma Taubasakageurufu." ((Lit. Demon of Darkness Winged Shadow Wolf".)) she said as her whole body became engulfed in a shadowy angel and demon like creature. Her sword also became smaller, but bigger than a regular zanpakuto. Rangiku held her balance. "This spiritual pressure...!" She stumbled in her words. Byakuya showed no hesitation during this. "Senkei, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi." He said as the blades scattered. Toshiro readied his sword. "This is getting too out of hand, Rangiku call the head captain. Ichigo, Rukia, Uryu. I want you to help me stop them." He said.
"Reign over the frosted heavens, HYORINMARU!" He said, freezing the petals. Byakuya looked at Toshiro violently. "Captain Hitsugaya, this isn't your fight." He said. Then the head captain appeared between the two, using a special technique that returned the two into their original forms. "That is enough the two of you! Byakuya, that was not your choice to assume that Tokuro was the murderer!" He said, hitting his cane onto the ground. Byakuya and Tokuro didn't dare to mutter even a word, staying silent the entire time. "I'll let it go this time, but fight again then both of you will be arrested!" He said harshly As the two nodded. As they left, Ichigo noticed that that the man in the cloak was gone as he blinked and followed behind.
When Ichigo was getting ready to leave he saw Tokuro talking to Hiyori And the other vizards. He hid behind a boulder to eavesdrop. "So you need help training too, eh? We'll let me tell you, Ichigo Kurosaki did as well! So don't screw it up!" Hiyori yelled. Ichigo froze. 'Tokuro...being a vizard?' He wondered. When he looked again he saw her with the mask, the usual bone color but with dark blue, black, and grey markings. The mask was shaped like a wolf head, with two marrows sticking out of the side and two dragon-like whiskers above the marrows. The whiskers went higher than the supposed ears.
Ichigo couldn't believe his eyes. When he was about to go back, Hiyori was standing right behind him. " and what the hell do you think you are doing here snooping around?" She growled, taking off her mask. Ichigo froze, and before he could even answer, Hiyori started yelling again. "You stalling?" She asked grumpily. he knew he had to make up an excuse, and not mess it up. "No, I was just waiting to see if I could train some more." She simply answered. Hiyori grumbled under her breath as she dragged him over, shoving him in front of Tokuro. "You two, fight, now." she ordered.
Ichigo sighed. 'well, this is my fault, so I might as well...' He thought, revealing his mask and drawing his sword. Tokuro took off her mask to speak, revealing black eyes with white pupils. "And just so you know, don't think I'll go easy. And I want you to give it your best shot, I have no time for idiots." She growled, putting the mask back on and lifting her sword up to Ichigo. Ichigo made an angry expression as ichigo leaped at tokuro. He thought it was strange, she wasn't moving an inch until he came close when she lifted her sword, blocking the attack that didn't even bounce her back.
'what the...' Ichigo thought when Tokuro retaliated, swinging her sword and sending Ichigo back. Hiyori grumbled. "Ichigo I taught you better than this!" She yelled. The problem was, Ichigo wasn't thinking clearly, he was focused on the big zanpakuto as they began to clash again.
That is all for now. I'm going to start adding titles for the next next will be called 'Clash of Swords'. Thank you all who are reading right now, and stay tuned as they say.
