Naruto: Shinigami of the Kyubiakuma

By gorutovssageta

As Soi Fon leaned in to plant a kiss on the unsuspecting blond Shinigami, she was intervened by Yoruichi and Ichigo, who entered the room in the midst of a conversation. As Yoruichi was beginning to reply to Ichigo's earlier comment, she glanced over to see Soi Fon's and Naruto's lip's about to touch.

"Hey Yoruichi-sensei!" Naruto greeted with his usual happy grin, glancing at Soi Fon, who was still in position. Soi Fon turned bright red, pushing Naruto out his chair as she stomped out the room, too embarrassed to even speak.

"What's wrong with her?" Naruto pondered as Yoruichi and Ichigo sighed in unison. "What? Did I do something wrong?"

"Naruto, you're going to need to grow up more, learn a bit about female's before I get into this harem," Yoruichi replied with a wink, leaving to find Soi Fon.

"W-Wait! W-What harem?" Naruto shouted after her, but received no response.

"Naruto, I wanted to ask you a question before I begin this training," Ichigo changed the subject, turning to Naruto with an intense glance. "I'm going to be beginning training with Mr. Urahara tomorrow. I… I don't think it's safe."

"Don't worry Ichigo, Mr. Urahara wouldn't do anything to hurt you," Naruto reassured his fellow Shinigami. "At least I think so…"

"I guess we'll all find out later tonight, you're beginning training at midnight sharp!" Kisuke exclaimed as he appeared behind Naruto with a creepy expression on his face, Naruto going slightly blue in the face as he glanced over his shoulder at Kisuke. "Naruto, I'll need you to join us as well, we'll be needing your assistance in this part of Mr. Kurosaki's training."

"No problem, I'll be glad to help," Naruto answered.

As Ichigo stood in the training ground in his human form, Yoruichi, Kisuke, and Naruto (Shinigami) entered the field on the opposite side of him.

"So, what are we doing for the first part of training?" Ichigo asked as Kisuke nodded to Naruto, who stepped forward.

"You'll be facing off against Naruto in a one on one match," Kisuke answered as Ichigo's jaw almost hit the ground.

"In my human form you expect me to take on a Shinigami?" Ichigo asked as Kisuke chuckled in response.

"Actually…" Kisuke interjected as he used the bottom of his cane to push Ichigo's soul out of his body, his soul attached to his body by a long chain. "You'll be fighting him as a soul, good luck!"

"Wait, what the hell is this?" Ichigo asked as he tugged at the chain on his chest.

"Naruto, attack now if you will," Kisuke told Naruto, who nodded in response. Unsheathing his zanpakuto, he swung his sword before Ichigo's face, a bead of sweat going down Ichigo's face as a strand of his hair fluttered past his eye's. Ichigo let out a terrified shout before taking off past Naruto, Yoruichi, and Kisuke, who were watching with amusement.

"What the hell are they doing, this is suicide!" Ichigo thought as he watched Naruto run after him.

"Don't try to escape, fight him!" Kisuke shouted as Ichigo looked at him like he was crazy.

"I'm not fighting him, he'll kill me!" Ichigo screamed back as he seen Naruto begin to pick up speed. "I'm only living because I'm outrunning him!"

Kisuke looked on with a grin as Ichigo picked up on this realization.

"If I'm able to outrun a Shinigami, maybe I can…" Ichigo wondered as he stopped running, turning around in a boxing pose. Naruto snickered as he stopped, allowing Ichigo to take a swing at him, which he dodged with minimal effort. Ichigo continued to swing recklessly, Naruto dodging each punch. As Naruto began to chuckle at Ichigo's failing, Ichigo growled as he swung at Naruto with the fastest punch he could muster, Naruto's chuckling ceased as his cheek was pressed in by the force of the blow, causing Naruto to slide backward on the gravel slightly.

"OK, you've done it now," Naruto hissed as he unleashed an intimidating red aura, Naruto sheathing his zanpakuto. As Naruto cocked back his arm to attack, Ichigo found himself up against a large rock, which he backed up into without even noticing. Naruto aimed at Ichigo's face as he swung, Ichigo waiting until the last possible moment to sway from the punch, Naruto letting out a relieved sigh as Ichigo fell to his back, looking up at the sky.

"This is crazy, I can't even breath like this and I still feel winded," Ichigo complained as he sat up. "Are we going to continue?"

"Well, do you feel any better Ichigo?" Yoruichi asked, Ichigo examining his body with a thoughtful expression.

"Now that you mention it, I can breath a lot easier, plus I feel a lot lighter as well," Ichigo concluded, Kisuke patting Ichigo on the back.

"Congratulation's, your Spiritual Pressure has finally returned," Kisuke said as he helped Ichigo to his feet. "Now that we've succeeded in the first step, on to step two."

"What's step two exactly?" Ichigo asked as Kisuke guided him to a specific location. Naruto unsheathed his zanpakuto, slicing the chain that was attached to Ichigo's chest to a certain point.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing that for?" Ichigo asked as Kisuke remained silent, he and Naruto stepping from near Ichigo.

As Ichigo stood there, the ground collapsed underneath him, causing him to fall into what seemed like a bottomless pit.

"Dammit, get me out of here!" Ichigo roared as Kisuke shook his head no. "This time, you'll be occupied by our female Shinigami, Soi Fon." Soi Fon leapt inside the pit, landing next to Ichigo.

"Why am I stuck with her?" Ichigo complained, Soi Fon literally almost spitting out fire at him.

"Shut up, before I end you here!" Soi Fon threatened as she placed her hand on the hilt of her zanpakuto, Yoruichi clearing her throat to get Soi Fon's attention.

"Oh… I apologize Sensei," Soi Fon remarked sheepishly before sitting Indian-Style next to the standing Ichigo, who was too busy looking up at Kisuke scowling to notice.

"Alright, climb back up now Ichigo," Kisuke commanded as Ichigo looked at him with shock written all over his face. "I'm not kidding, get to it."

"How am I supposed to do that exactly?" Ichigo asked angrily as he looked at the climb. "It's impossible!"

"I wouldn't complain, I'd get to it," Kisuke answered as he looked at the time. "Let's go Ichigo." Ichigo scowled again as he sat down, not even attempting to climb the wall. Time passed, Ichigo looking up at the wall with the same expression.

"So… are you hungry yet?" Soi Fon asked with a wicked smile, Ichigo responding by shaking his head no. "Well, that's a good thing. It's not good to become hungry as a spirit, it mean's your going to advance to the stage of becoming a Hollow."

"You mean… I can become a monster like Orihime's brother was like this?" Ichigo asked as Soi Fon's grin grew.

"You just figured that out?" Soi Fon remarked as she pointed at the cliff. "If you don't climb up to that by the time your chain is fully eaten, you'll become a Hollow."

"Wait, my chain eaten?" Ichigo asked a mouth appeared on his chain connected to his chest, painfully eating away at the chain as Ichigo screamed in pain.

"W-What's going on here?" Ichigo choked out as Soi Fon chuckled in response.

"You still don't get it," Soi Fon answered as she looked at Ichigo with utter seriousness. "Here's the deal: If you don't reach the top of that as a Shinigami before you become a Hollow, you will be eliminated by me. You've already been down here for seventy two hours, most of the early soul's would start turning around now. So be advised, if you want to live I suggest you begin to climb." Ichigo looked at her with fear as he tried to climb the wall, not succeeding at climbing it.

"Dammit!" Ichigo roared as he continued to try. Several hour's later, Ichigo was still unable to climb the wall, breathing heavily as he looked up at the cliff. As he did, several mouths appeared on the chain attached to Ichigo's chest, Ichigo screaming in pain as the chain was severed completely, a black hole appearing where the chain once hung. Ichigo let out a ferocious roar as he was covered in a yellow aura, a Hollow mask forming on his face.

"He's turning!" Soi Fon roared up to Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Naruto, who looked down inside the pit in horror.

"I'll save him somehow!" Naruto screamed as he prepared to jump into the pit, Kisuke pulling him back at the last moment.

As Soi Fon unsheathed her zanpakuto, a yellow light swallowed up the entire pit, Soi Fon and everyone nearby blinded as something flew out the light, landing before Naruto.

"Ichigo…?" Naruto asked as the smoke cleared slightly, showing someone wearing a hakasho. "Ichigo, you scared me for a minute buddy…" Naruto stopped as he witnessed the Hollow mask on Ichigo's face, Naruto looking at Ichigo with widened eyes.

Ichigo stood there for a moment, unsheathing his zanpakuto off his back, Naruto going into an defensive position. Ichigo used the heel of his zanpakuto to crack the mask off his face, showing the real Ichigo underneath the mask.

"So, I guess I did it," Ichigo murmured as he looked down at the zanpakuto in his hand.

"Yes, you did quite well Ichigo, time for the final part of your training!" Kisuke announced as he pointed at Naruto. "A head to head real match against Naruto, no holding back. Naruto, I'd like you to unleash your shikai please."

"Um, unleash your inner demon, Kyubiakuma!" Naruto shouted uncertainly, his sword transforming to it's shikai state.

"No problem, I can do this in my Shinigami form," Ichigo remarked with sheer confidence, waiting for Naruto to attack.

"Oh, really?" Naruto asked as he grinned darkly. "OK, let's see about that, show me what you've got." Without warning, Ichigo swung his zanpakuto in front of Naruto's face, a strand of hair fluttering past Naruto's eyes.

"I owed you that one," Ichigo responded as he looked at Naruto with a determined grin. "Round 2, let's do this!"
