Bleached Existence

by Tanya95t-bird

Another Bleach twisted version from me! Different story line and such, still YAOI with some hetro in there. Ichigo is hollow after he dies shortly after his mother. Follow his journey through the war between Shinigami and Aizen and his arrancar. Rated M for violence, language and sexual content but its not that detailed.

15. Kill or be killed

So I got a new laptop(But I'm writing this one my old one for now as that one doesn't have Word on it yet.

I was really surprised by the response Akira's death got.

I kinda feel bad now, I have ever since I killed him… I feel so heartless…

Oh well… okay fair warning, next chapters MIGHT be late. Collage started and I have a lot of new things to take in so please be kind to be. I didn't write much details about the fights in this one as the only fight worth writing about in this one is between Ichigo and Aizen. For those of you who think this story is shorter than my other Bleached tale don't worry I am planning on using all of Bleach fillers and all just not in the same timeframe as the original… well I'm not using the movie part where Ichigo goes to hell…

Chapter 15: Kill or be killed

In the throne room up the stair was the Garganta was open, only two more men stood in room before the massive hole with its static inner. Starkk and Aizen where just about to enter when they felt Ichigo's reiatsu flair, and it was pissed; they waited a few minutes to try and figure out what the man was up to.

"Such a shame." Aizen drawled and lightly pushed Starkk to the hole. "It seems someone has angered our Cero. Come he will handle it and come. Szayel come you too." The pink haired male was about to ask to be left behind when one part of the main building of Las Noches came crumbling down in masses of debris and dust clouds.

"Aizen you son of a bitch I will kill you!" Ichigo's angry voice ripped through the air as said man made his appearance.

Starkk had no time to question for he was pushed into the Garganta, Aizen quickly following. The hole closed but it was then when Aizen remembered that he left Szayel behind and that he could easily undo the barrier he had on the dimension.

Ichigo growled loudly and paced the room, his hair swished in wide arches as he turned sharply. Szayel swallowed just as the massive group of shinigami/human/Arrancar came into the room. "Ichigo-sama…"

Szayel stiffened when Ichigo's red eyes looked his way, they looked angry but the anger wasn't directed towards him. "I can bring the barrier down… it will just take a few minutes…" Ichigo stared at him for a few seconds before he gave a curt nod. The pink haired male was about to go out the massive hole so he could get to his secret lab when Mayuri came in looking singed around the edges and a miffed look on his face.

"You!" He screamed as he pointed at the pink haired male, Szayel looked smug.

"I couldn't salvage anything! So now I will just have to salvage you!" Mayuri moved one step closer; Nemu opened her mouth to warn her father of the seething red head only a few paces away but sadly the man didn't get farther than one step before his throat was in a steel iron grip and boiling red eyes glared at him. "Touch any of the Espada or Arrancar and for that matter humans and I will maim you so badly that no one would recognise your pathetic corpse." Ichigo then proceeded to throw the blue haired male rather far and into a wall sending it crumbling down around him

Sneering he gave a nod to Szayel who continued his way out into the sands of Las Noches.

Karin moved closer to Ichigo as he glared at the throne Aizen sat at when it was meeting time. Without a warning Ichigo charged a cero and launched it at the throne, it was obliterated as was the five steps leading to it.

Looking in her brother's eyes she saw along with anger there was so much sadness in them that it was heartbreaking.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The fake Karakura was a very good tactic, Aizen would admit that…

So when he was faced with Yamamoto, his lieutenant absent flanked by Seí-Feng, her lieutenant, Captain Hitsugaya along with his lieutenant, Sajin with his lieutenant and Kenpachi's lap dogs Ikkaku and Yumichika. Directly to the left of Yamamoto was Jyuushiro and on his right was Shunsui who had his lieutenant at his side as always.

So without another thought he sent out Baraggan to deal with Seí-Feng, Starkk with Jyuushiro and Shunsui, Harribel with Hitsugaya, Yamamoto was his while Sajin quickly made Kaname his foe, Matsumoto eyed Gin with a sad yet determined stare that tore at his heart.

Baraggan sent his lackeys to take out the tall white columns to make the original Karakura town appear. The stakes were high as were tension. All looked at their opponent till like a unified agreement they all started at once apart from Aizen and Yamamoto who for now simply watched as the leaders they were.

The fights were brutal and it was clear that most shinigami were losing badly.

Just then one of the white towers fell and the real Karakura slowly came back.

It was then when the Visards stepped in and gave a helping hand, their words were that they weren't doing it for Seireitei but for their own reasons.

The moment Shinji took a sword to the gut the tell tale sign of a Garganta opening drew heads up. Aizen's eyes went wide. He swore and ripped his sword out of Shinji making said man yell in pain.

Everyone watched shocked when Ichigo's head moved slowly to the two men, he was motionless for a moment before the man's volatile reiatsu burst into view as his eyes flashed the orange shade of his reiatsu. The power built on and on reaching a level close to Yamamoto himself.

A well sculpted upper lip lifted in a snarl as white teeth were grounded against each other. The loud growl turned into a scream when the flame like reiatsu became almost too dense to see through. A long fingered hand reached for El fuego's hilt.

"I am going to kill you… slowly." Ichigo hissed.

"Ah but Ichigo I have done nothing to warrant this reaction." The man said and with quick moves gave Shinji another slash to the chest before he moved away and took out the Hogyoku. Just then Urahara appeared along with his gang, behind Ichigo the last of the humans and shinigami just entered the world of the living as Ichigo ordered the others to stay behind.

He used his speed in sonído to get to Shinji quickly and gently placed him down on a rooftop where the rest joined him, all the while he kept his eyes on Aizen. Shinji in his pain looked up at his mate and felt safe when he was in the man's presence.

In a few moments Aizen had the orb in his hand and the next it was in his chest. The man's smug smile only caused Ichigo's reiatsu to rise. The change happened quickly. Ichigo with hard eyes watched as Aizen's boy was swallowed by white plating. In the next half hour the rest watched as Urahara and Yoruichi tried and failed to do damage on the completely white plated male.

When it broke off Aizen stood with a new look that didn't impress Ichigo what so ever.

His hair was longer, not as long as his but close, his outfit had changed as well but what was more noticeable was his hand that was still covered in white plating. The sword was all white and infused with the white platting. His eyes were odd as well with a diamond shape on his forehead between his eyes, the white was purple and the iris was an off shade of white.

"You know Ichigo-san I still have my sword's ability after all I tricked Gin into believing he had my blade, I could easily fool you…" he couldn't go further due to Ichigo vanishing before his eye and reappearing before him to grip the white blade. Aizen started in shock as red eyes locked with his oddly coloured ones.

"I will kill you." Ichigo said with a low soft voice before he hefted the man up by his sword and flung him into the distance. Ichigo then looked at Unohara who nodded in understanding. She used shunpo to get to Shinji who was looking at Ichigo with worry filled eyes.

"I'll be fine." Ichigo looked down into toffee brown eyes. A gentle look overtook the red hot anger that was boiling there, the change caught Unohara off guard as she kneeled beside Shinji to heal him. The other Visards had joined when their fights were done for medical attention too as soon as they were sure Shinji was fine. They all looked at Ichigo who was looking down at Shinji.

"I am after all harder to kill than most people think." With a wink the man was gone with a buzz and in front of Aizen once more.

"Let's go." He said in a bored tone before grabbing Aizen by the head and both vanishing in a buzz.

Gin blinked from where he stood, he had a cut on his cheek where Matsumoto got a little too close with her Shikai but he was impressed.

"What was that about?" Said woman asked beside him. He had caved when the love of his life begged for answers. He only gave her his reason and overall plans. The woman's lower lip quivered as she fell to her knees. On instinct he launched forward and caught her holding her as she cried into his shoulder. That was how Hitsugaya found them; he didn't need to ask when he saw an open eyed Gin looking down at his lieutenant.

"… Ichigo never liked Aizen. With good reason I suppose but well… Aizen killed Ichigo's fraccion; the man was like a brother to Ichigo and what no one else knows… Shinji and Ichigo are mates." Hitsugaya blinked owlishly as he started at the man down below getting his stomach and chest wrapped tightly.

"Huh… Well… I didn't see that one coming." He muttered but when a large explosion far away shook the ground all heads turned.

Starkk had stop fighting when Ichigo appeared. He lowered his weapon and looked at the orange haired man. Harribel and her three followers who just barely got away showed up next to him, the Espada were totally engrossed with what was happening. Clearly the fight was over.

It confused the two older Shinigami.

"What now?" The pink floral haori wearing captain asked with a tilt of the head. Starkk was the one to answer.

"Ichigo… is the one we truly follow. We agreed when the day comes when those two would fight we would side with Ichigo-sama; his orders were not to engage in combat with the Shinigami. We are simply following orders."

The two captains looked up just in time to see Ichigo speed off with Aizen.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Aizen made contact with the ground harshly as he skidded to a stop as he crashed into one of the mountain like rock formations all around them. He was quick to get back onto his feet. Looking up he saw Ichigo was still in the air looking down at him with the same eyes he did at the Grand Fisher.

"Did you know… that the hollow you made named Shiro… attacked my mother before I was born. A certain shopkeeper helped her with the help of a man named Isshin Shiba. You see they bounded her soul to his so soul corruption wouldn't happen. In time they fell in love. In time they had a baby." Ichigo said as he lowered to the ground. All throughout the tale Aizen's eyes grew steadily.

"And that baby was me."

Aizen stared in wonder.

"I was a perfectly human boy when I died. I had a dormant hollow and shinigami side in me. I died when I was nine." Ichigo shrugged and glared at Aizen.

"You started all of this."

Ichigo took the hilt of his sword and unsheathed the long blade.

"And I am going to end it."

The reiatsu that had lowered suddenly spiked up and with a mighty swing Aizen was flung back into another rock formation.

Aizen took a little while longer to get out but he had a heavy frown on his face, it was one of frustration.

"You died, you shouldn't have any more feelings for those of the living.

Ichigo grinned wide and slightly unhinged.

"The shinigami part in me never died."

Aizen looked on in shock.

"But enough talk, I am to kill you after all." Ichigo said raising El fuego above him with both hands on the hilt before the blade was flipped around to face the ground.

With a wide grin that didn't suit his face at all Ichigo growled out.

"El dragón de fuego." Ichigo's body was swallowed by the massive blast of force his release caused. Aizen had to shield his eyes from the dust and sand. When he looked back to where Ichigo stood there was no one, confused he heard a flapping noise above and looked and gasped.

Ichigo's hair was still long but the sides were tied back to make the man's ears more observable. The normal human like ears were now elfish in nature, the large mask piece that once covered the one side of his face was gone allowing a perfect view to see both eyes in clear view. Where the mask piece sat now was over his mouth much like Harribel when she wasn't in her resurreccion but Ichigo's was different, hers was shark-like while Ichigo's was far more… dragon like. The sharp chin sharp and had a small horn pointing out and downwards, while what was standing out the most was the teeth; the majority was like all hollow teeth, sharp and all one length but Ichigo had longer canines that looked far too dangerous. Ichigo had while platting all over him, not a piece of skin was on show as his hands and feet had talons that looked sharper than most blades. Ichigo's horns were on full display as the elegant curve of the horns pointed in front on the man. The massive white wings behind Ichigo were in line with the name of his resurreccion. Ichigo had also regained his tail that swung lazily from left to right.

The last tendrils of flame like reiatsu waffed off of Ichigo as he looked down at Aizen. In his head Aizen begged for Hogyoku to infuse with him faster as he had a worthy foe before him. Those red eyes looked down at him with dead eyes as he had with the Grand Fisher.

When Ichigo was in front of him again in a split second Aizen just had time to lift his sword for a block. The rock structure behind them exploded when the clawed hand made contact with the white blade. Aizen stared behind him in shock. He looked back Ichigo.

"Why are you doing this?"

Ichigo blinked once before red eyes looked back to the town.

"You are upsetting the balance that is so fragile, as fragile as a child's heart. It is easily tipped in the world of the living because these people have no place among the world of the dead ones yet. Shinigami must keep the plus souls safe as well as protect the balance. Hollow are negative, they consume. There is no dark without light and there is no light without darkness. A positive needs a negative to balance out. It is the way of the world. Why I am so sensitive in the three world's balance is unknown to me."

Gritting his teeth Aizen block every blow but just barely. Each time the area around the crumbled or exploded, the mass of destruction was amazing.

They separated when Aizen felt the orb infuse fully with him.

"Now is the time to show you that you are outmatched!" Aizen yelled as the small diamond on his forehead split open revealing another eye. In what was a gruesome display of blood and flying skin Aizen's final form was revealed. Ichigo arched a brow.

"Oh yay look it's the butterfly boy." He said with a tilt of his head.

Aizen snarled as his inverted eyes glared at Ichigo. The six wings flapped revealing the mouths at the end. The bug like legs and clawed hands were all in black. "I am not a butterfly."

Ichigo continued as if he hadn't spoken. "Where's your sword?" Aizen sighed. "I don't need the useless thing anymore. I have moved beyond the limitations of a sword." Ichigo frowned inertly, well that wasn't right. A sword was part of shinigami and Arrancars alike; they both needed them to be stronger, if Aizen had discarded his sword it meant he was using power that was not fully his. It dawned on him that the orb was giving Aizen power now.

Aizen suddenly appeared before Ichigo and grabbed him by the throat and his six wings moved to surround him revealing their eye like symbols, they went wide and a purple circle appeared around Ichigo while three larger white ones going bigger surrounded them. The red head just looked at him in a bored fashion.

"This is Ultrafragor, you will feel this I am sure." Aizen hissed as the attack began and a tall pillar explosion rocked the ground and created a giant hole in the ground.

When the explosion ended Aizen couldn't believe it. Ichigo was just singed here and there other than that he was fine if a little miffed. "That's all? I should have challenged you for the position of leader. You are unfit to rule the Espada." Ichigo growled out as his eyes flashed vivid orange for a second.

Snarling Aizen raised his hand and yelled out. "The oozing crest of corruption. The arrogant vessel of madness. Deny the seething urge… stun and flicker… disrupt the sleep. The crawling queen of iron. The eternally self-destructing doll turn of mud. Unite! Repulse! Fill the earth and your own powerlessness! Hado Number 90: Kuroshitsuji !"

The black coffin with crosses all over formed over Ichigo who looked around him in mind fascination.

The black coffin didn't last more than a few seconds before it was smashed by one powerful swipe.

"What… was that supposed to do?" Ichigo asked confusion clear in his eye.

"No matter. I will have your death by the end of today."

Ichigo's eyes went serious and sharper than any sword.

"You can count on it."

"You fool, I have merged with the Hogyoku fully. I am immortal. I cannot die, it has chosen me! It bends to my will!" The arrogant man yelled raising both his arms wide. Ichigo looked at him as his wings started to flap faster.

"I guess I will have to show it that it made a mistake."

Aizen's eyes went wide before he was once again in battle with Ichigo whose attacks became faster and faster as he gained momentum.

Without either man knowing they began to inch closer to Karakura, the attacks got more powerful as the two men brought up more and more reiatsu. They entered the town and started to destroy that as well. Ichigo noticed this and knew that he had to act fast lest humans get hurt or worse killed.

Taking a deep breath Ichigo used his wings to vault himself forward and spear Aizen, he didn't let go or stop as he flapped his wings and shot into the air. By then everyone could see them and they all gasped.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Orihime had slowly inched closer to Shinji and offered to heal the all. They reluctantly accepted when they saw the look in the girl's eyes. The dire need to help; to be useful was too strong to decline. As she started Unohara watched closely in wonder as they wounds just… disappeared.

Just as she finished the last one the two figures on everyone's mind shot into the air. Shinji's breath caught in his lungs as he gazed at Ichigo. "Well I never would have imagined that to be his resurreccion form." Starkk commented from behind him. The Espada had moved to Karin. Starkk who had been informed of everything knew of Karin and Shinji.

"But then again thinking about it, maybe I should have. What is stronger than a dragon?" he asked to no one.

"What the hell is Aizen? A fucking butterfly?" Karin asked where she sat next to Shinji with Chad beside her; he had to nod as he gazed at the winged men. Everyone looked on as the duo stopped in the air as Ichigo grabbed Aizen by the hair and hurled him towards the abandoned area of the town under construction.

"Wow…" that voice made Karin and the rest of the humans whirl around and look in shock as Keigo and Mizuiro. Chad shifted unsure of what to do. Karin just blinked like an owl.

Orihime not liking the silence slowly told them the story. All of it. Karin who had decided to help began it after her first very hesitant words. She told them everything. The death of her brother that turned him into a hollow, she went to quickly explain what they were and luckily the boys understood easily enough.

Just when Karin got to where they were to go to Seireitei the two winged men emerged again but this time going at one another with sharpened claws. Keigo looked at the one Karin said was her brother and gasped in awe. He looked like someone that should be in a video game or something. The white armour was a nice touch as were the wings but the dragon like mask and horns was killer.

Mizuiro was impressed as well, this was amazing. The two watched from where they stood as the two monsters in front of them destroy the street they were fighting in.

None of the observers moved, too afraid to get caught in the cross fire of raging blows and reiatsu lashes.

Again Aizen was thrown into the air, he couldn't gain a foothold against his enemy as he matched everything he threw at Ichigo. Ichigo would just shrug or smack it off and return with a harder hit. He was growing tired and he was constantly asking Hogyoku for more power.

It was like Ichigo was playing with him, toying with him as a cat would with a cornered and doomed mouse. He was having doubts about this fight for the first time and drew up more power, he felt the orb react and he had more power and yet again Ichigo just raised his reiatsu to match his perfectly.

Keigo and the rest watched as Ichigo's eyes lost the slight playful hint when a building tumbled down. Luckily there were no humans inside as Yamamoto quickly ordered the rest to clear them. Ichigo however didn't know that. Those red eyes hardened as they gazed at Aizen.

"Play time is over." He stated matter-of-factly and in the next heartbeat his reiatsu soared higher, too high to even feels, the ground shifted and broke under the pressure before it became too much to feel or even effect the world around it.

Aizen was wide eyed now and staring at Ichigo who had an orange glow about him, the new look along with the flame like reiatsu… the man looked like a dragon deity.

The moth like man growled as he saw all he could not be. He yelled out.

"You are far more powerful than you led on!"

Ichigo's eyes showed that the man had his lopsided grin on as an almost sadistic gleam entered them.

"I got more powerful when I woke up my shinigami part, my sword and my inner-world. After all I am part Shinigami part hollow from the moment I was born, the human side in me died when I died."

Aizen stared in shock.

"I am what you tried so hard to be."

The brunette didn't have time to retort as he was gripped by the throat and lifted off the ground by Ichigo as he shot into the air. Once airborne he threw Aizen with such force he bounced a few times before he skidded a few meters. Shocked eyes snapped back to Ichigo and saw a light form in front of his now fully opened mouth. Keigo was about to ask what he was doing when the ball of light turned into a torrent of energy that slammed into the ground and spun off to fit its mark fully.

Aizen felt the impact of a fully charged normal cero and it hurt… a lot. He rose on shaky legs as he looked up into the sky. Ichigo was looking down at him with hard harsh hues of crystallized crimson. They made his heart squeeze in terror.

This being was higher than him.

Ichigo might actually succeed.

Glaring at the man in the sky to hide his true terror he opened his mouth but Ichigo appeared closer and opened him mouth again, expecting another cero Aizen made ready to dodge this time but was shock when Ichigo's reiatsu rushed forward to gather in front of his mouth.

"Arde…" Ichigo breathed out and the normal fire torrent that came from the sword came from the front of his mouth, he looked like a dragon breathing fire. The spectators were shocked at the ability and gaped openly to various degrees.

Once the flames died Aizen stood badly burnt on some places and breathing harder, again Ichigo's eyes showed the sadistic gleam only most hollows had.

With frightening speed Ichigo was before him and again his throat was gripped and he was thrown into the air only with far more force than last time as he soar into the air higher but what he didn't see was Ichigo's hand moving to his mouth and said mouth biting down in the hand spilling blood all over the white teeth.

The humans and Shinigami were confused but eyes went wide when a larger cero started to form; only this one was heavily tinted with orange.

"Grand Ray CERO!" Ichigo yelled out and the heavy blast landed its mark perfectly, it dealt massive amounts of pain to Aizen who couldn't hold back the scream of pain.

He fell to the ground unable to cope with the flairs of pain that shocked his body. His land back on solid ground was a hard thump. Ichigo looked down at the body knowing he had one finally attack before he would unleash his release's full potential if he needed to do that was still to be seen.

Mizuiro blinked as Ichigo looked to the ground in thought before his head lifted and his red eyes fell on the still horizontally facing man. The man was in an otherworldly way utterly breathtaking. His phone was forgotten in his hands as he looked at the dragon like man. To think that Ichigo was Karin's passed on brother. It made him think more about what the afterlife was like and he was now more curious than ever.

They watched as Ichigo walked over to Aizen. This time he was gripped by the hair and once again taken in the air. This time he was thrown ahead of Ichigo.

The words made Aizen and Gin's eyes go wide.

"Cero Oscuras." The black orb tinted with orange shot out and made its target and the impact was nightmare material that the humans and some Shinigami would remember for the rest of their lives.

The black beam of power imploded before it exploded in a massive explosion that rocked everything in a wide radius. The shockwave was visible as was the aftershock.

Brightness blinded them for a few seconds as the air was filled with raging fires of the strongest cero the Espada could use and boy was it a heavy hitter.

Aizen fell to the ground, he looked different now, eyes reverted back to how they were and he had lost his wings, his chest still had the opening with the small orb floating mid air.

"You cannot win!" The man yelled as he looked up at Ichigo.

"I still have the Hogyoku!" the man's voice was hinted with hysteria and it made Ichigo laugh loudly, his chest contracted and expanded as he heaved his dying laughter. "Then give me your best shot." Ichigo goaded and Aizen fell for it only to realise that the orb in his chest was no longer acting upon his whims. Ichigo's eyes narrowed as he smiled.

"I told you I would show that orb that it made a mistake."

"What did you do?" The man yelled hysteria now stronger in his voice.

"I can answer that~!" A jovial voice said behind them. Ichigo lowered to the ground as Urahara talked waving his fan in a cheery way, hell he felt like he was walking on clouds at the moment. Ichigo… he was amazing and with the item he had requested so long ago the whole nightmare could end…

"Ichigo-san here did just was he said he would, the orb no longer sees you as its master as it has been shown someone who is stronger than you thus it sees you as unworthy~." The fan moved away from the suddenly serious face.

"As simple as that. Ichigo if you will."

The small sadistic gleam vanished for a second before it was back full force, the man's pupils shrunk as his blood boiled.

"Gladly."

Aizen blinked and found himself held against a wall. Ichigo's had rose and his blood ran cold. The same thing he used to get the orb out of Rukia was staring him in the face.

"Say bye-bye to your little orb." Ichigo hissed and held the hand before the hole in his chest. He felt agony as the orb obeyed the man and broke free of his body. He felt his power leave him as he now was back to what he had without the orb.

He gasped for breath when it was over and he looked with blurry eyes as the orb. It now no longer reacted to his call. He felt utterly abandoned. His eyes flicked to Ichigo who was looking at the orb with a strong look of distaste.

"This fucking thing is a piece of shit." Oddly enough the orb shone and flickered as it tried to get Ichigo to accept it but he wouldn't. He saw what it did and what it could do and he was against anything that altered the balance. It was one of the main reasons he didn't like or trust the orange haired teen.

Who gave her the right to choose who to live and who to die, if it was a strong healing ability he wouldn't have minded but bringing someone back from the dead? Who was she to decide that?

"Here take back your mistake." Ichigo said and threw the orb back to Urahara who scrambled to catch it. He looked on as Ichigo looked back at Aizen. "I am going to kill you now." He said in tone of voice that Urahara never wanted to hear again.

It was so… dead.

(Author's note: I was going to end it here but then I thought nah…)

Aizen was thrown to the street adding his skin to the tar surface.

He was now in full view of the others. They gasped as Ichigo walked over to him. "So mister Overlord-sama how does it feel to be utterly weak and defenseless? How does it feel to be weak and knowing that you're going to die?" Ichigo didn't give him a moment to speak as he was grabbed by both feet and lifted and slammed back harshly into the ground, this was repeated a few times and those watching compared it to a child whacking a doll on the ground repeatedly.

After the seventh slam he was released as one of Aizen's feet got ripped off and Ichigo walked till be was standing with Aizen between his legs looking down at the man. Blood was leaking out of his mouth and he had a broken arm and most likely a few ribs as well.

Ichigo's eyes narrowed as he grinned and his wings spread wide before he vaulted himself into the air. Aizen couldn't stand and had to watch as Ichigo opened his mouth wide and the reiatsu gathered into a large ball.

"Infierno…"

The attack was brutal. It was like hell had opened when the large orb of flame like reiatsu hit the prone man, he didn't even have the mental capacity to scream as the entire area around him was engulfed in flames that burned hotter than anything Yamamoto could have thrown at him.

Said man watched as this young male decimated their enemy with an attack that made him shiver faintly. This was a true fire based attack. When the fires died down only a charred skeleton remained. With a flash of light Ichigo deactivated his release and he was back in his normal form. His fists clenched as he looked down at the charred remains of his enemy.

It still wouldn't bring Akira back but at least his protected the balance, his sister and family as well as his mate. Looking at the spectators he smirked when he saw two new humans looking at him in awe.

He walked towards them with Urahara at his side, he felt so proud at the moment. Ichigo… his friend's child was a hero in his eyes. A hero.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So… I know I skipped a part of Aizen's awakening do dad but I didn't really want it or liked it so I left it out… I hope that wasn't as bad as I think it is… meh oh well there will be more.
