jychan: I will never own Bleach! So, please don't sue me!!!

9. White as Paper

"Nikaiki!"

Black Clouds appeared as it surrounded the Arrancar. That's how my Nikaiki starts as first: Black Clouds appear and it surrounds to whoever my enemy is. Let him be 500 miles away or perhaps in another world, Black Clouds will still appear and surround them.

"What the hell are these clouds doi-"

The Arrancar was cut while he was coughing,

"Maa, maa, that's how Kurohime's Nikaiki works. It's quite similar to its predecessor... But it's only more insistent."

I said as he was able to break out from my Nikaiki.

Oh well.

Let him continue.

I have a plan in mind.

"Those black clouds of yours cannot do anything to me, shinigami."

I nodded and replied,

"Well, that is for now."

I gave a grin as he mocked me with a laugh,

"Yah. Right. So, what are you going to do, shingami? Going to do it for the second time?"

He asked as I shook my head, leaving him raising his eyebrow,

"Well, there's a reason why I have a Sankaiki. Right?"

"A third one? Well, that's interesting."

I nodded as I replied,

"Well, of course, among my four Shikai moves, the most complicated one was my Sankaiki. At first I was questioning its abilities. But now, no."

He gave a smirk as I pointed Kurohime at my right side,

'Are you sure that you're going to waste my Sankaiki for that piece of junk?'

Kurohime asked as I chuckled upon what my zanpakutou said,

'I am sure of it. No need for doubts.'

I could deeply imagine Kurohime, rolling her eyes upon my statement as I gave a smile and said,

"Kurohime no... Sankaiki."

Black rays surrounded the whole field as I gave a smile as the rays disappeared after some time,

"THAT WAS IT?"

The Arrancar asked as I nodded and gave a smile,

"Weird, isn't it? But it's interesting too... Oh well, you'll see the reason why it's my second to the last Shikai Move."

"Oh. So, there's one more?"

"Apparently. Although I suppose, you'd want me to use my Bankai now."

I said as the Arrancar nodded while I gave a smile,

"Good. Because I was getting thrilled on using my bankai."

I said as he raised an eyebrow upon what I said while I raised Kurohime and pointed it above,

"Bankai!"

I released my bankai as black shards of light surrounded me and it disappeared a while after as I held a naginata or rather, Kurohime, as a kimono was draped over my shoulders,

"Koroshite, Sai no Kurohime..."

I said Kurohime's Bankai as the Arrancar sighed and said,

"Oh well. Let's get it on."

I smirked as our swords clashed,

"I can see your every move, Arrancar."

I replied as I gave out a smirk,

"Impossible... The Sonido is much fas-"

"Oh. So, that's how you call it then. Sonido... Unluckily, my shunpo is way too faster than your Sonido."

I said as I shunpo-d to the side and striked him, but I was blocked,

"Are you underestimating me, shinigami?"

He asked as I smirked,

"Apparently, it seems I am underestimating you."

I replied as his eyes widened in rage as I continuously blocked his attacks.

"Kuso."

I cursed as he managed to strike me,

"You're good."

I said as he smirked while I chuckled,

"But not as good as I am."

I added as I slashed him in his abdomen,

"Teme..."

"I know, right. Oh well... This fight is taking me too much time already."

I said as he glared at me and said,

"That's why I'll finish you already!"

He said as I blocked his attack and kicked his gut until he was thrown to a side,

"Now... Now... I'll tell you this... Compared to my Shikai, my Bankai is more complicated... And now, let me perform my most favorite part with my Bankai... Hantei ga ryou..."

I said as I took out something from the hilt of Kurohime: a paper.

"Mujitsu iaa nai."

I grinned upon what was on the paper. It seems Kurohime has passed the judgement.

"Well then, Sai no Kurohime ga satsu!"

I said as I pointed my Kurohime to the Arrancar,

"Bye bye, Arrancar."

I gave a grin as I shunpo-d towards the Arrancar as he was struggling to move.

"I'm sorry, but the black clouds earlier was slowly paralizing you. Plus the black rays..."

"ARGH!"

The Arrancar shouted as sudden wounds appeared on his skin,

"...were rays that would take affect later. So, have fun in hell, Arrancar. Wait. You don't have hell anymore. Oh well. Good-bye."

I said as I striked the Arrancar with my Kurohime.

"Kisama..."

"You can insult me, but that does not change the fact that I killed you Arrancar. Good-bye."

I said as I gave a smirk as the Arrancar faded to wind, while I dropped down on my knees,

"Finally..."

I said as the sky finally showed the moon as I smiled upon looking the sky,

Shit. I totally forgot about Kuchiki-taichou!

I turned around to each side as I saw him on a side. Wait. Where's his ten-mansions-worth-scarf?

"Kuchiki-taichou?"

I called him as he looked at me and nodded,

"Yukinobu, I see that you're fine already."

He said as I nodded and replied,

"The Arrancar was nothing. I did what I had to do."

"I'm surprised that you used Bankai earlier."

"Oh that... Nobody saw it."

"But I did."

"EH?"

I widened my eyes upon what he said. I mean, how did he see it? Wasn't there a barrier earlier? I mean, how-

"Transparent barrier."

He said as I nodded and sighed,

"Oh well... At least, you already knew that I had Bankai. So, I don't have to worry anymore. But, why did you not go inside or get rid of the barrier when you were finished with the Arrancar you were fighting?"

I asked as he looked at me and replied,

"I see no need to assist you with your own fight, Yukinobu."

I nodded and looked at the puddle which showed my face.

It was as white as paper.

Probably I'm still having an adrenaline rush from my battle a while ago.

Oh well.

I sighed as my Bankai vanished while my hair drifted off with the wind.

"NADESHIKO-CHAN!"

I turned to see Matsumoto-fukutaichou, hugging me tightly,

"Air..."

I struggled as she noticed and released me afterwards,

"Gomen ne!"

"Ah. I'm fine. I'm fine."

I replied as she shook her head,

"No you are not! Look at your wounds! I heard from him that you were fighting off an Arrancar with Kuchiki-taichou!"

She said as she pointed at Urahara-san,

"Eto... da... I'm fine already. Kuchiki-taichou was good earlier and defeated the Arrancar. Although I think I was a bit of a burden for him since I couldn't do anything."

I said as the said taichou looked at me, while raising an eyebrow,

Kuchiki-taichou... Please go with the flow... I don't want to be caught with my Bankai. It's too... troublesome if they knew.

"Sugoyi! As expected of Kuchiki-taichou! Well then, well then, I'll be going with Nadeshiko-chan already! We'll be staying at Orihime-chan's place!"

Matsumoto-fukutaichou said as she dragged me along with her,

"Eh? Chotto matte, Matsumoto-fukutaichou!"

"Neh, Yukinobu-san, I'm aware that there were two Arrancars."

I turned to my side as I saw Urahara-san.

Shit.

"Anou... Urahara-san... About that..."

He covered his face with a fan and replied,

"Don't worry. Don't worry. I'll keep it a secret."

I sighed in relief as I heard Matsumoto-fukutaichou's call,

"NADESHIKO-CHAN! FASTER!"

"Eto... Arigato, Urahara-san. Shitsureishimasu."

I said as I went out of the Urahara Shoten and went with Matsumoto-fukutaichou to this 'Orihime'-chan's place.

jychan: Hmmm... Wonder what will happen at Inoue's place... Hmmmmm... :) Thanks for the reviews!!! This chapter was really something since I revealed Shiko-kun's bankai and other moves except for the Shikaiki. If ever you need some translation, just tell me... X) Hantei ga ryou means 'The judgement is passed.' While Shiko-kun's bankai, Sai no Kurohime means Judge Black Princess. Mujitsu iaa nai - Not innocent/Guilty. Sai No Kurohime ga satsu - murder him, Judge Black Princess. Ikkaiki - 1st death anniversary... Nikaiki - 2nd death anniversary and the rest follows.... :)

Ray-nee-chan: I hope you were able to wait! Oh well! Thanks for liking my story! I hope you like this chaptie!
