A new beginning
"yoruichi"
kisuke quietly called yoruichi while he slid through her bedroom door. He noticed her in her cat form lying in the window seal ever since she cut ties with ichigo she would just hold up in her room looking out her window.
"come on yoruichi its been two months since you left stop doing this to yourself"
yoruichi's ears just twitched but she did not give any hint that she would bother giving kisuke a response. That was untill he tried to leave.
"will you stop coming in here and trying to cheer me up its not going to work i feel like the biggest bitch in the world right now and the time passing just makes me feel worse"
kisuke turned around to see yoruichi staring daggers at him but the hostile gaze did not faze him he just gave her his comforting smile and sat down in front of her
"well why dont you talk about it tell me exactly why you feel this way"
yoruichi keep her gaze kisuke could tell she was in no mood but he couldn't let her mope around like she was it wasn't healthy
"why the fuck do you think i feel this why kisuke. could it be because i just left a young man thats been through more shit in his life than any of us have and i bet its not getting any better"
kisuke kept quiet letting yoruichi shout her frustration out on him
"and thats not even the worst part i was all he had kisuke he lost every one he was even at a point of just wanting to die but he was happy when i talked to him all through the night i couldn't see his face but i know i had an effect on him"
kisuke held out a tissue and yoruichi took it she couldn't help but cry saying everything out loud just made it all to real for her
"so you feel you left ichigo when he needed you most that your the only person he really had and you left him alone again"
yoruichi could give a verbal answer through her crying so she simply nodded confirming kisuke accusation
"look yoruichi i know that you were closer to him than i was. but i still met him and hes not going to back down without a fight especially if you mean as much to him as you say you do"
yoruichi gave kisuke a sad smile she new ichigo was a fighter but hearing it from kisuke confirmed it ichigo would never lay down and die not to some one like nobunaga
"so you feel like doing something tonight its about time to go around the city and check for hollows"
yoruichi nodded her head but she still didn't hold that same fire kisuke was used to seeing her with and he wasn't going have it
"and besides you might want to get some exercise you wouldn't want ichigo to finally see you looking like a fat house cat"
kisuke said this behind his favorite fan thinking it didn't work untill yoruichi's fist flashed in his face knocking him through her door
"YOU BASTERD IM NOT FAT"
yoruichi began to pursue kisuke but this only made him laugh behind now broken fan
azuchi castle training grounds
nobunaga walked to the training grounds to watch his finest warrior train. the training ground was at the center of the castle and surrounded by beautiful cherry blossoms and in the middle of it all stood ichigo kurosaki easily fighting off five other warriors with his bare hands
ichigos fighting prowess quickly became known throughout the castle considering the amount of gaurds hes killed during his imprisonment but that is the past
nobunaga looked around at all the gaurds watching the fight while ichigos four personal gaurds were just waiting for him to travel to his next destination surprisingly his gaurds are not the best the castle has but has survived the longest out of everyone
two months ago ichigo was being transported to a cell closer to the training field because nobunaga wanted him to trin so he could perfect his sword skills but ichigo snaped out of now where the one survivor said his eyes turned yellow and he didn't talk he just screamed as if he was possessed by a demon
the only surviving gaurd quit his duty and went to being a front line fight but watching a single man decapitate two men with a chain kinda has a way of making you want to quit
his punishment involved the chain he killed those two men with to be heated and wrapped around his right arm leaving the mark of a spiraling chain going down his arm. but that wasent the end of it nobunaga forced ichigo to where the chain on his arm at all times. it was strange but nobunaga was running out of way's to punish the man. ichigo is by far the most stubborn man alive nobunaga even has moments where he was glad he didn't have to fight ichigo to gain control of japan
a week after the punishment nobunaga began to make arrangements for ichigo to have his own personal gaurds more to keep him in check than protect him
nobunaga gathered his best fightes even akechi but it only took ichigo one glance through his long shaggy hair and he turned them all down. the idea was that maybe if ichigo chose his own bodyguards than maybe he would stop killing them nobunaga already got ichigo to submit to him now the next step was to get him to stop killing his comrades
so nobunaga made a bold move and let ichigo move freely about the castle although he did have a curfew and he notified his gaurds to stay in groups of four but it seemed to work ichigo began to calm down and eventually found four gaurds he could stand to be around
while nobunaga watched ichigo end his fight he noticed his unique fighting style with the chain maybe his punishment turned out to be a blessing
nobunaga noticed ichigo put the top part of his kimono back on and began walking in his direction like his fighting style and his outfit was also unique with the sleeve of his right arm torn off at the shoulder revealing the black chain around his arm while his left sleeve was rather long covering his whole left arm. he also had a master crafted katana given to him from nobunaga himself it was ment to be a gift for finally accepting his role in nobunaga goal
once ichigo reached nobunaga he bowed respectfully and waited for his lord to talk
"ichigo i see you have been training hard but i would like you to limit your training to one hour a day for now"
ichigo looked up at nobunaga confused ever since he bent his knee to nobunaga he has never been told to take it easy
"alright but why lord nobunaga?"
the question was simple yet it brought a smile to nobunagas face that made ichigo mad he couldn't stand that basterds smile
"well ichigo in one week my goal will be complete we will march through the city of tokyo and capture the emperor and force him to surrender and then i will have my unified japan
ichigo remained calm and nodded his head
"alright then my lord i will return to my quarters and prepare for the upcoming battle"
once ichigo was dismissed he quickly went to find akechi and get him to come clean with his master plan that he waited so long for
"That akechi basterd better have a plan or i swear to god after i kill nobunaga im gonna kill him"
"shiro calm down i doubt we did all this for nothing and even if he doesn't have a plan ill be damned if i help that basterd take over japan"
"king you do know you might have to do some things your not proud of in the near future?"
"yes im aware but let just find akechi for now"
ichigos quarters
ichigo was sitting in his room sharpening his black blade in the moonlight when he heard a knock at his door
"ichigo i found akechi as you asked and he is ready to talk"
ichigo stood from his bed and sheathed his blade before walking to the door. ichigo opened the door letting akechi and his gaurds in
"akechi im glad you came we need to talk about the plan you've had me believe in since i was brought here"
akechi knew what nobunaga planed for next week and he was ready ichigo done everything he needed and he had to admit if he didn't know ichigos plan he would have thought ichigo really did submit to nobunaga
"ok i guess it is about time i tell you but first get your gaurds to check around and make sure nobody is listening in on us"
with that ichigo looked to two of his gaurds and motioned his head towards the door signaling them to check
after about ten minutes his gaurds returned giving the all clear and akechi began to explain
"alright i intended for this plan to be top secret and only to be discussed between me and ichigo but since he trust you four and he decided we need more help than what we got ill make an exception"
ichigo was waiting patiently for him to get to the good part of the plan untill he heard shiro speak
"that bich can bite me we haven't discussed shit. he thinks we're basically his pawns and he's some genius strategist"
"shiro shut the hell up im trying to concentrate"
"whatever..."
"bitch"
ichigo was not in the mood to put up with shiros childishness so he just ignored him but he will sure to kick his ass later
"in one weeks time nobunaga will begin his march into tokyo sending his front line army in first. us six will most likely be a few hours behind along with a smaller army we are the cleaners we make sure that if any soldiers survived we take them out."
"where will nobunaga be in all this"
akechi could tell ichigo was getting frustrated his whole plan so far was just a battle plan not an assassination like ichigo wanted but he was about to solve this problem
"nobunaga will be around thirty minutes behind us waiting to march straight through the city to the emperor. our only chance to kill him will be when he executes the emperor"
ichigo thought about the plan and what he would end up doing to get to the end of it all the blood he would spill the houses he would burn
"thats the stupidest fucking plan ever we're basically going to be helping that fucker take over japan by that point if we make one wrong move we're fucked"
ichigo couldn't help but smile at how blunt shiro just put there predicament but he was right
"you mean to tell me we have to take over japan and at the last moment kill the guy that has technically just gained control over all of japan in front of his remaining army?"
akechi knew his plan was suicidal but he was willing to do what he had to for the future of japan. he also believes ichigos drive for his revenge will be strong enough to push through the uncertainty of the mission but if he died then so be it
"do you have a problem? if you have a better plan than please lets hear it"
ichigo new he wasn't the biggest idea guy but he wasent stupid he didn't like this he felt akechi had an alternate objective and shiros talking was making it more apparent.
"this basterd just wants to kill him in front of everyone so he can get credit and be the hero of japan. hes just a fucking attention whore""yea mabye but how the hell do we do any of this with out help at least with akechi we'll have a small army better than by our self""whatever do what you will your the king just don't turn your back to him"when ichigo finished his internal conversation he saw akechi waiting for him to agree to the plan
"fine your right akechi but if you four want to back out nows your chance you four have been good to me for the short time we've known each other i can tell you hold the same hate i do for nobunaga so i will not take away your chance for revenge but i will not guarantee your safety you could all very well die if you join us"
the four looked at each other contemplating there decision before one of them stepped forward
"come on ichigo why would you even ask that we thought we were already in this"
ichigo smiled at his gaurds answer think that he could at least trust these four
"right then gather as many men as you can for this battle and prepare yourselves as well in one weeks time nobunaga will fall by my hand"
three days later, kisukes shop
yoruichi and kisuke stepped throught the front doors of the shop completely exhausted from the hollow hunt there went out to do hours earlier
yoruichi was a little hesitant about going out at first but kisuke was not having any more of her self loathing a candy shop was ment to be fun but her mood made it seem like a grave yard
sure kisuke felt for her and ichigo but he couldn't mope around he had things to do from fighting hollows to keeping his shop from going under and besides he knew ichigo was no average man
"aaahhh im so tierd im going to go take a bath and go to bed"
kisuke watched as yoruichi stretched and walked towards the bath
"i dont know why your so tired your were slacking back there i knew you were getting fatter just sitting around here moping around"
kisuke began laughing at his own joke untill he saw yoruichi stip dead in her tracks
her head slowly twitched to the side untill she was facing him. his smile quickly left his face when he saw her eyes appear to be glowing red
"what did you just call me?"
kisuke quickly turned around in a mad dash for the entrance to the shop but before he could feel the cool night air she was in the doorway blocking his path
with no other options he did the only thing any reasonable man would do in a situation like this
he shot to the floor like a bullet on his hands and knees
"please im sorry i didnt mean it dont hurt me i have so many things left to do i have you wouldn't kill a loving husband and caring father would you?"
"your not a husband and you have no child to care about"
"thats one of the things i still have to do please dont hurt me"
yoruichi was getting more and more pissed by kisukes dumb ass rant clearly trying to make her forget what he said
in all honesty though she couldn't be mad at him he knows shes still upset about ichigo and was probably just trying to keep her mind off of him
but even so she thought of a way she might be able to benefit from this
"well i might let you live with your little friend attached if you make me an offer i cant refuse"
kisuke looked up with happiness spread across his face he might be able to get out of this with his favourite lolipop in tact
"well what kind of offer did you have in mind"
yoruichi crossed her arms and put one hand on her chin while she tilted her head to the ceiling
"hhhmmm why dont we go somewhere to have fun instead of just fighting hollows. isn't there supposed to be a festival coming up soon"
kisuke had it she was right there is a festival coming soon and it would save him form yoruichis wrath
"yea there's supposed to be one in the heart off tokyo in a week"
"great take me there and all is forgiven"
kiskue began bowing rapidly while in his knees telling her he understood and and it will be done
"great now im going to take my shower unless you have any for comments you want to throw at me"
kiskue shook his head waiting for her to retreat to the bathroom so he would be safe so once he heard the door close and lock he felt it was safe enough to stand
"great i had to dig myself in that hole and hear i thought i wss going to stay at the shop and work on some of my inventions"
with a heavy sigh kisuke walked to the more private areas of the candy shop he flicked on a light and reveled in the mess that was his invention room
closing the door beside him he made his way to a table and began working on his latest invention
"oh well at least the festival should be fun and it should take her mind off ichigo if she hasn't moved on by then"
one week later: tokyo
the sun was setting in the busy city of tokyo as people walked from stand to stand looking at the many items the shops had to offer while kids ran around playing tag and trying to find a good spot for the fire works that would soon light up the night sky
also at this large festival was a young woman with tied up purple hair and a dark red kimono
she was currently playing tag with a few kids trying her best to keep up in her outfit
"come on lady we thought you said you were fast"
yoruichi squinted her eyes knowing full well this kid wouldn't stand a chance if she didn't have to wear this damn kimono
but she was the one that decided to wear it and since this was her first ever festival she decided she was going to do it even if she was down talked by a little kid
the kid that she was chasing was behind the other three clearly not being the fastest but was the one doing the most trash talking shockingly
everything was fine yoruichi was having the time of her life till a familiar man jumped in front of the kids making the leader bump into him and fall on his but
"ah ha i got you im the new flash god my godly speed is matched by no other"
yoruichi saw kisuke cut the kids off and to say she wasent happy was and understatement
"WHAT IT YOUR PROBLEM I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM KIDS KISUKE!"
yoruichi didn't know how loud she was being till see saw the people and vendors around stop what they were doing just to stare at the scene she made
"come on yoruichi why can't i play with the children i love kids, i own a candy shop for christ sakes"
yoruichi was about to explain till she saw three people walking towards them as fast as they could
she stepped a little out the way assuming that they were the parents of the kids
when she saw one kid get grapped by the arm quickly to get away from the strange man he bumped into her assumption was confirmed by the kid telling his mom to let him go
after the scene calmed down and the people went back the festivities she quickly went and snatched kisuke by the ear pulling him to a part more private
"ow ow ow ow let go yoruichi you ripping my ear off"
yoruichi reluctantly gave in to kisukes please to let him free but not with out talking it off first
"you know exactly why i told you to stay away from kids here you look like a child malester your kimono has a v-neck thats so low it creepy and you have rings around your eyes that make you look dead and dont even get me started on that damn hat"
"i have you know that i have rings around my eyes because i spent all night finishing my gigai invention so we could enjoy the festival and my kimono my not be ripped if you would stop pouncing of me when I piss you off, i mean your a good friend but i just dont you like that and i dont like it rough"
yoruichi had to admit that she was thankful for the work he put into the these gigais she always wanted to interact with humans and now she can but all the thankfulness left her body when she figured what he was implying but she took a deep breath and began walking back to the busier part of the festival
"hey yoruichi"
she turned around to see her friend with a look of sadness and what she hoped were false tears falling fromhis eyes
"what is it kisuke"
"my hat dosent really make me look like a petifile... does it?"
she couldn't help but smile at kisukes childishness
"no it just makes you look"
"cool"
"no"
"bad ass"
"no"
"smart"
"no it ok you know what fine your right"
kiskue smiled at his small victory but felt that he needed to rub it in just a bit more
"right about witch one"
yoruichi knew what he was doing and she was not going to play that game so she turned around and began walking back on her path with the sound of fireworks in the background
"what yoruichi"
yoruichi turned around clearly displeased with missing the start of the fireworks but she was not expecting the look on his face the childish fun replaced with seriousness and he once tierd features turned stone
"what is it kisuke?"
yoruichi couldn't keep the look of worry form her face all the years shes knkw kisuke she has only seen him this serious once which was when they had to run away from there first home
"yoruichi we need to get out of here"
"bit the festivals not over i always wanted to try takoyaki or a candy app"
"NOW!"
he said this while tackling yoruichi to the ground nearly avoiding a swarm of flaming arrows that pierced the ground near them
"this isn't a festival no more yoruichi this is battle ground we have to get out of here"
yoruichi got up and ran alongside kisuke not fully knowing why hebwas so worried
"kisuke why are you so worried we're soul reapers we cant die from normal humans"
"well the gigais we're in put are bodies in a human state so we can actually be killed while were are in these"
yoruichi eyes grew wide as kisukes words set in she was not the type of women to be vulnerable but right now she was now better than a person being robbed at gun point
"and before you ask we cant just leave the gigais, our souls are temporarily attached to the gigais making it impossible to leave"
"well when will we be able to leave"
"mabye in the morning if we're lucky, but till then we have to stay out of this"
outside of tokyo
"well damn the first wave fucked this place up hahaha"
ichigo was with his unit just like akechi said hed be, he was the the final wave just in front of nobunaga the only bad thing was he couldn't tell if that was a good thing or not
in one hand he didn't have to fight that much so he could save his energy for nobunaga but on the other he had to walk the streets of what he imagined was a happy festival with kids running and playing, teenagers walking side by side holding hands on there first date and vendor's calling out to them all trying to sell there wares. but now he saw what children were lucky enough to stay alive crying next to what he believed to be parents and one kid holding his two friends lifeless bodies young couples lying dead on top of each other supposedly trying to protect one other from the shit storm that basterd nobunaga started.
soon it would be over soon he would have that basterds life in his hands all he
that was next was to break in to the emperors mansion and force him to surrender
"it shouldn't be that hard find his daughter sword to the throat and presto hes putty in our hands, damn im good at this"
"shiro how are you good at this we've never done this and if im lucky a lot of my unit will die by the time i get up to the emperor finish off the rest of my unit then u wont have to threaten my future partners daughter"
"yea guess your right that would be a bad way to start a partnership"
when ichigo finished talking to shiro he heard his unit commander tell them they were approaching the mansion walls and to be on gaurd from this moment forward
"well here we go shiro"
ichigo drew his black sword and charged ahead of his unit at inhuman speeds slicing away at every gaurd he come across clearly they were no match for him so whem he could he would by pass a few and hope they would kill so of his men
"keep going ichigo today is the day"
"that basterd dies"
"that basterd dies"
top of the emperors mansion
ichigo reached the top of the mansion where he saw the emperor shielding his wife and daughter from the evil that was to come
he began walking towards them but was cut off by his unit commander and his two lieutenants
"we've captured the the emperor tie him up and bring him to nobunaga"
"sir what do we do with the other two"
ichigo saw a sickening smile cross his commanders face at the lieutenants question
"i suppose since we dont need them why dont you boy have a little fun but make sure you clean up when your done"
"STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY!"
the emperor jumped at the unit commander im a last effort to try to save his family but was surprised to see his head drop from his shoulders and his now lifeless body fall to the ground with a thud
looking behind the now dead mans body he saw ichigo with his sword drawn with fresh blood dripping of the black blade
"WHAT THE FUCK!"
ichigo heard the lieutenant to his back-left scream right before the sound of his blade sliding from his sheath
ichigo threw his sword over his left shoulder blocking a swing aimed at his waist on his left side
the gaurd was so stunned at his speed and skill with sword so stunned that he didn't even see ichigo donkey kick him in the gut with his right foot sending him bowing forward and eventually on his knees
the gaurd threw up what little lunch he had and looked up at ichigo probably about to curse his name but he wasent able to get the words out due to his throat being pierced by a blade dark as the night sky
after ichigo withdrew his blade from
his throat he turned to the last lieutenant that was cowering in a corner with his blade shaking in his hand
"st-sta-st-stay away from me"
ichigo just walked towards him his long messy hair blocking his eyes from the lieutenant view the chain on his arm was rattling with each step
the gaurd kept trying to push his self further in the corner but it was pointless ichigo was standing over him with his arm across his chest
"sorry i was told to clean up when im done"
the gaurd saw one of ichigos eyes it was glazed over and void of life but had a will to kill like he was possessed and it terrified him to the point he wanted to scream but couldn't before ichigos sword swung from across his chest and slit the mans throat
"who the hell are you?"
ichigo swing his blade down throwing the blood that rested on it to the ground before sheathing it and turning araround to the emperor
he stepped forward noticing he still had his blade to him waiting for a answer
"my name is ichigo kurosaki i have a plan to keep your family safe and maybe whats left of the people in tokyo but you have to trust me"
the emperor stood up but still held his blade up to the boy
"your a boy still in his teens what could you gain from this"
ichigo kept his gaze strong and stared the emperor in the eyes
"i want to kill nobunaga"
if the emperor neededno proof for his words because the fire in ichigos eyes was all the proof he needed and from his display of skill early he decided if any one could do he could
"alright ill help you but you must ensure my family saftey"
After the festival turned to hell yoruichi and kisuke were able to stay in hiding and avoid most of the fight.
That was until the last of the warriors started looking for survivors. if they found they took them somewhere and women they would take to please themselves.
yoruichi and kisuke were hiding in an alley when they saw a women being forced on her knees by a man trying to fight off her kid
yoruichi was boiling she knew that dlimg anything would get them caught because there were most likely more right outside the alley. But her anger got the best of her and kisuke couldn't grab her in time
After she killed the man she told the woman to take he child and leave out the other side of the alley once she searched the body for an actual weapon. then tried to leave the ally but was caught by the group of gaurds waiting for there friend to finish.
So now her and kisuke are in the center of the festival with most if not all the survivors. all around were the last of the battles fighters fewer than she thought there would be
"there's only like thirty gaurds was there army just small or did these people put up more of a fight than they thought?"
"how would i know yoruichi"
"you're not helping my problem amaterasu"
"im your zonpakuto not your servent i cant help everyone of your little problems"
"Little! are you kidding me im about to be killed"
"well not yet at least they clearly gathered you here for a reason and i doubt its just so they could cut you down"
"good evening people of tokyo im so glad that whats left of you could come by and witness the change of an era. no longer the sengoku era but with the death of the emperor the beginning of the oda era."
yoruichi was cut off from here zonpakuto when nobunaga walked in front of them and gave his speech. she could care less about his ass she would rather be finding a way to get her and these people to saftey which is what she was doing until she saw a familiar head of orange hair carrying the emperor and his family behind him
yoruichi was filled with happiness but it was only brief happiness once she got a look at him she saw that his body has been beaten, cut, and tortured. The scars that she could see from his v neck alone worried her not to mention the chain wrapped around his right arm the brand marks were still black because they went untreated
but the worst was his eyes she never was able to see them due to her leaving the prison at night when he was asleep. but she could imagine her talks with him the way he sounded when he talked to her. she just saw them bright with what little happines he could have.
"as you can see my prized warrior ichigo kurosaki has captured the emperor and his family and brought them to there execution"
nobunaga was awarded a sharp gasp from the crowd before him and curses from the braver of the group
"now as much as i would like to kill the emperor and begin my oda era. My second akechi mitsuhide has told me that there was a plot on my life set for this day"
ichigos eyes grew wide in anger he turned to see two gaurds grab both his arms. ichigo was trapped he went through evey possible way to get out of this but there wasn't one he was trapped
he saw akechi walk up to stand by nobunaga he had a sick smirk on his face that drove shiro mad
"THAT FAT LITTLE FUCKER IM GOING RIP HIS GOD DAMN LIMBS OFF. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING FIGHT ICHIGO KILL THEM NOW!"
ichigo was too stunned at the turn of events to even think he nust stood there held by two gaurds not bothering to fight he knew there was nothing he could do
"now ichigo you are my finest warrior there is no denying that but the fact you were making an attempt on my life means you not safe and we dont need warriors in the new oda era anyway"
nobunaga drew his sword and walked over to ichigo with a quick jab nobunagas blade pierced ichigos gut
ichigo released a paind scream. the pain was nothing to him hes been through worse but the thought set in that hes going to die with avenging his family the past year was all for nothing
just as his vision got blurry he heard someone screaming his name there voice it was so familiar to him but he was to tierd to look he just wanted to rest at this point just fall on the ground and accept the fact that he failed
"ich-ic-ICHIGO WAKE UP"
the voice kept calling him untill he gave in and used every bit of his energy to look up and see the person calling him and what he saw stunned him
a women in a blood red kimono with purple hair and golden eyes that was shinning brightly in the night
her har was messy and her kimono dirty and torn but it did little to her beauty. she was being held down boy two more gaurds
ichigo thought he saw tears streaming down her beautiful face she was calling his name clearly she was in a bad situation as well but she only cared for his saftey
she screamed his name a few more times till it finally clicked that voice it was yoruichi
"well look at this the traitor has got him self quite the beautiful whore"
nobunaga saw ichigo half dead body shoot up at his comment and was surprised that he still had that much fight in him his gaurds were struggling to hold him down
"well since you care for her that much who am to deny her to you. kill the bitch and send her with traitor"
ichigo shot out of the two gaurds hold and drew his sword killing one of the gaurds that was holding her but before he could get the other one he was pierced in the back by the two that was holding him down
he heard yoruichi cry his name one last time before he balcked out
ichigos inner world
ichigos worldichigo woke up in his familiar world filled with side way's skyscrapers only this time shiro wasent there
"hes not here"
ichigo turned to the sound to see a newcomer to his world he was a tall middle-aged man he had a long black coat that swayed in the wind
"who are you and whos not here"
the man with sun glasses looked down at him
"i going to explain everything you need to know so listen my name is zangetsu i am going to be by your side from now on. ichigo your time in the realm of the living is over. and the one known as shiro is using your body to lay waste to those who wronged you. i have no problem with this but if you dont regain control he might end up hurting innocent lives including the yoruichi girl"
yoruichi didn't know what to think she finally got to see ichigo again but this time face to face he even tried to save her but end up with two sword in his back
she was holding back her tears as hard as she could but when wawas cut down trying to save her she lost it. she broke the grip on the gaurd and ran to ichigos lifeless body
she pulled the sword out and turned him over so he was lying on his back she held him close to her not wanting to believe he was dead
"ha ha ha would you look at that l. i dont know how you two know each other but thats sweet"
yoruichi didn't hear most of his ramrambling she was to distracted by ichigos body
she could have sworn he was dead yet she feels a powerful energy coming from his body
she put her head to his chest to try to hear a heart beat but instead she felt his whole upper torso move. she backed away in shock and saw that his skin turned white as paper and his orange hair grew longer probably reaching his wast and head no sported to long horns
every body around her was frozen in fear but not her she stayed right by his side. she heard scream demon and ordered his men to attack ichigo.
she was about to move so not to get caught in the cross hairs but ichigo grabbed her hand and cupped her face. yoruichi dosent know how but his gesture told her she was safe with him so she stayed where she was
ichigo stood up ready to protect her from the four gaurds that where attacking them
ichigo threw his hands in a slashing motion a cut all four of the gaurds right threw there waist
then he set his sights for akechi. simply raising his hand and pointing out his finger a mini ball of red energy shot from the tip of his finger and destroyed akechis head
nobunaga tried to run away but was stopped when ichigo appeared in front of him. he fell to the ground crawling back trying to get away from ichigo but it was pointless.
ichigo picked up nobunaga and ripped off his two arms and before he could hit the ground ichigo kicked him into a wall
nobunaga was surprisingly still alive with his body implanted into the wall but ichigo was going to fix that shortly
ichigo tilted his horns in nobunagas direction creating a massive red ball of energy
"this is for the king"
ichigo shot the ball of energy at nobunaga and completely destroyed him and the wall.
after the battle was over ichigos skin turned back to it normal color and his hair the same shaggy length he had his eyes open looking at the rising sun
yoruichi ran towards him tripping in falling to his side due to her kimono
"ichigo hold on i have a friend that can fix you up"
yoruichi turned around and noticed that nobunagas army was surrendering but she didn't care she was just trying to get kisuke. luckily he was already making his way to her
"kisuke hurry up and help him"
she looked up at him but he just stood ther with his hat covering his face
"KISKUE DO SOMETHING NOW JES DYING!"
"I CANT! i cant yoruichi hes already gone"
"no he still alive i can fell his soul its still here"
"no its not yoruichi thats the hollow side of him he went berserk but now he regained control and his soul is leaving to the other side"
"yoruichi"
she looked down at ichigo calling her name tears once again falling from her eyes
"im glad i got to meet you before i died. your more beautiful than i imagined"
ichigo said his final words to yoruichi before his world turned to black for the final time
ichigos inner world
ichigo yet again awoke in his world greeted by his long time friend shiro and the newcomer known as zangetsu
"hi guys so is this the after life"
"no ichigo this is just the beginning you journey is not over""i dont know who the hell this old fart is but hes right king we still got a lot of hell to raise""what the hell are you two talking about"
"follow us and you will see ichigo"
with that zangetsu and shiro turned and began walking away so ichigo followed
they made a path to the top of the tallest skyscraper there they stood on each side of a single door waiting for ichigo
"well are you going you am i going to have to throw your ass in there"
ichigo looked to zangetsu to make sure it was safe before he entered sure he knew shiro longer but that didn't mean he would trust him more
all it took was a node from zangetsu to get ichigo to walk through the door. once ichigo stepped in the door he was blinded by a bright but it was also warm and inviting so he simply closed his eyes and prepared for his new beginning
