Infernal Bonds
Seishin's Hellish Harem Adventure
Chapter 1: A Holy Encounter
It was midnight over Karakura Town… The town was quiet; nary a peep was made within the quiet town, while it was bathed under the moonlit night with the crescent moon visibly waning over. Just then a small senkaimon portal with twin sliding doors appeared floating quietly in the sky. As the sliding doors opened, a Soul Reaper stepped out. One was a tall muscular man with brown eyes, thick eyebrows and matching sideburns, along with his dark brown hair; uniquely combed into an Afro. He was none other than Zennosuke Kurumadani; a member of Squad 13 of the Court Guard Squad and Guardian of Karakura Town. …and occasionally, Ichigo butchers his name by calling him "Imoyama."
"Okay, out'cha get…" Zennosuke said with his arms crossed as he watched the two other Soul Reapers step out of the Senkaimon. One was a black haired young man with green eyes with three circular hair clips on the left side of his head and two on the right. He stood still; looking around the area so timidly, worried of what might happen in his first patrol of Karakura Town. Next to the timid male was a dark haired female wearing a dark orange piece of fabric on top of her head; kinda like a mini umbrella in those martini drinks. She stood with her right hand on her hip looking around the town, brimming with ambition.
"My work here is done, kiddos." Zennosuke continued. "It's up to you two now. Now try to get along and make sure you exterminate those Hollows, okay? Play nice and fight them, not each other, okay?!"
Zennosuke smirked as he winked and gave them a two-fingered salute as the Senkaimon closed up and vanished on sight. As the two new Shinigami watched Zennosuke leave, the girl slapped the guy over the head so suddenly.
"Ouch! Don't hit me like that, Shino!" The male said.
"Then let's see a little more confidence, Ryūnosuke!" The female known as Shino Madarame, Squad 13 Member, rebuked in a brash tone as she leaned into the timid male's face with her hands on her hips. "Karakura Town is our new post, and like it or not, we are assigned to this post!"
"Yeah, yeah… I get it," The male, known as Ryūnosuke Yuki; like Shino, is a Squad 13 Member. He then looked to the side, shifting his view from Shino while pressing the palms of his index fingers together. The timid male softly resumed, "I'm just a little worried, that's all."
"Relax; will you, Ryūnosuke? You're with me." Shino responded in a calm manner, which the latter returned his sight to his teammate.
"Yeah, you're not worried about;" Ryūnosuke replied. "I heard Karakura Town has a High incidence of Hollow appearances and Shibuya is close to that count, too. I'm not sure if I'm cut out to be the right person to be here. Besides, there's already a really strong Soul Reaper here, and one in Shibuya, too!"
As Ryūnosuke continued to doubt himself, Shino's agitation began to grow as a vein began to show up on his head. Angered, Shino gripped Ryūnosuke by the collar of his shihakusho before she got in his face again. Scared, Ryūnosuke tries to pull back.
"Listen to yourself! Stop trying to be a wuss for one second!" Shino yelled in Ryūnosuke's left ear. "That's why there are two of us stationed here! So we don't have to rely on the Substitute Soul Reapers so much!"
Shino took a moment to cool herself before resumed her conversation to her teammate. She gently tapped her fist in his left arm, and said, "which means, they recognized your abilities, even if you don't.
"But I thought we'd be here to support the Substitute Soul Reaper here in Karakura Town, not to fight instead of him." Ryūnosuke explained to Shino.
"Oh, come on! Shut up, will ya!" Shino said as she shoved Ryūnosuke away by pushing his face away from her view. "I'll patrol the North side, while you take the South."
"Wait?! We're not patrolling together?!" Ryūnosuke grew worried after Shino said that.
"That would be a waste of time. What's the point of sending the two of us?" Shino questioned the reason for their objective, without looking at Ryūnosuke's face. "Or… Or maybe you're scared?"
"I'm scared, Shiho! Okay? I'm scared!" Ryūnosuke straight up said it to Shino's face, leaving the girl irritated at her teammate's response.
"God, you're pathetic! I'm done with this! You're on your own!" Shino rebuked before she ran off, leaving Ryūnosuke alone. He tried to call out to her, but it was no use. Feeling defeated, Ryūnosuke went to the South side of Karakura Town.
The young man leapt through the air, like a graceful kangaroo until he landed in an empty street. Not much light was shown, except for the Crescent Moon bathing the street in its natural hue. Ryūnosuke looked around the streets without saying a single word, feeling nervous about the possibility of a strong Hollow attacking him. Seeing that there was no activity around the area, he took to the skies again, until he eventually sat down on top of the bridge. He sighed, thinking of what Shino said to him before she left.
"I told her I was scared, but she still makes me patrol alone." Ryūnosuke said to himself as he rested his head on the palms of his hands. "Man, I hope that no Hollows appear."
As he sighed, he suddenly sat up at the sound of a loud crash.
"What was that crash?" He wondered as he got back up. But… just as he got up, he sensed a sinister presence near him. Like someone was breathing down his neck, and received a chill running down his spine. When he turned around, he saw a Hollow with gunmetal black skin, gray tendrils for hair and six arms, almost resembling a spider. Its mask has a vertical opening running down to the center where its glowing red eye is. Ryūnosuke screamed in terror as he jumped down the bridge and ran for his life, with the Hollow quickly pursuing him.
"Shino, come in! Come in, Shino! There's a Hollow chasing me!" Ryūnosuke cried as he tried to call his teammate through his Soul Phone, but there was no response on the other end. He continued to call her, but to no avail. Ryūnosuke continued to run through as fast as his legs and lungs could carry. He even ran through the apartment building to escape the Hollow and get some distance from his pursuer. However, the Hollow's pursuit of poor Ryūnosuke is relentless, as it charges at him through the building, destroying the doorway. Ryūnosuke ran up the stairs, while trying to call Shino, with the Hollow pursuing him, close by.
Once he got to the top of the stairs and opened the door to the roof, he was taken aback in dismay. The young man looked with terror in his eyes as he saw three more Hollows on the rooftop. One was a chubby blob-looking hollow with three holes from its chest down to the stomach and the mask resembled ice cream melting down the sides. …or an octopus. The second one was a gray-ish blue, tall, muscular Ogre-like Hollow. Its torso has ten pack pecks, all black with a hole in the center of its top pecks. The third one has long black hair like Samara from The Ring with its mask almost human-like, except for the large nose-like structure. Its body except for the exposed hole almost resembles a cloak. But what shocked him more, was in the second hollow's hand was Shino covered in blood, even her zanpaktou.
Ryūnosuke was surrounded, literally stuck between a proverbial rock and a hard place. Scared, he tries to reach for his zanpaktou.
"I have to save Shino. I have to!" Ryūnosuke said to himself as he tried to draw his zanpaktou out, unaware that the Hollow that was chasing him was right behind him. It raised one of its arms out and struck him. The attack really left the poor newbie injured and incapacitated as his body rolled across the roof like a rag doll until he struck; back first against the iron bars surrounding the roof.
"H-How… Just from that one blow?" Ryūnosuke thought to himself as he was laying in a pool of his own blood. Just then, the spider-like Hollow towered over the injured Soul Reaper, raising its top left arm up for a final attack.
"Am I really… going to die? No… No, I don't wanna die!" Ryūnosuke thought, as he was unable to move, yet alone reach for his zanpaktou. His sight was getting blurry as he saw his killer preparing to make the finishing move on him. The only thing that's on his mind was that he was unable to save Shino. Just as he was going to embrace his untimely death, the pain quickly permeated when a blue wave of spiritual energy sliced the Hollow in half, effectively killing it. The other three Hollows turned their attention to what made that attack. The Ogre like Hollow was about to throw Shino, until an arrow quickly shot its hand clean off, freeing the injured Shino from its grasp. As Shino was falling, a tall muscular man leapt into the air and caught her with flying mini drone-like objects flew towards Ryūnosuke, before landing on both sides of the injured young man. Then he was encased in a gold barrier of spiritual energy, which, to his surprise, is healing his wounds. The young man slowly sat up, seconds after those flying drone-like objects flew away, and watched as it began healing Shino. He thought to himself, "How? How are we still alive? Who healed us?"
Before long, Ryūnosuke caught the sight of a young woman with long orange hair and brown eyes, and her curvy but slender figure, including her large breasts.
"There! Now I have stabilized you. I'll come back to finish healing you both once we're done here!" The orange haired beauty said before she ran towards the three Hollows.
"Okay then… Let's get this over with" Another voice called out as a fairly tall, lean-built young man with peach skin and brown eyes also walked towards the Hollows. To Ryūnosuke's surprise, the male he saw has orange hair, and carries a large sword over his right shoulder.
Alongside him and the Orange beauty, were two others, a tall dark-skinned muscular man with pronounced cheekbones, and wavy dark brown hair with bangs that hangs over his brown eyes. On his right arm, is a form black armor with red accents, in the shape of a shield. On his left arm is a form of white armor with a red stripe down the center, along with red diamond-shaped marks on the fingertips, a spike protruding from the shoulder and two more resembling claws over his chest.
Then there's a tall and bespectacled young man with a slender build. He has straight, chin-length black hair framing both sides of his face, and is fair-skinned with blue eyes. In his hand he held a white fragment of a bow frame with a celtic cross engraved on one side of the center and another celtic cross mirroring the other side.
"I definitely agree." Another voice called out to the four of them, as they turned to the right. They saw seven Hollows, cut down with ease, and someone leapt up into the air, landing safely beside them. A red haired male with red eyes, wearing a similar shihakusho like his orange haired friend. He was just almost the same height as the bespeckled young man. In his right hand, is his zanpaktou a red and orange khyber blade, a flame shaped hilt with metal wings for prongs and a dragon's mark wrapped around the blade
"Glad to see you Seishin." The dark-tanned male greeted him with a small smile.
"You're late, Seishin." The bespeckled teen said as he fixed his glasses.
"Hey, Chad! Uryu! Sorry for the late arrival, guys. I would've been here sooner, but the Hollow activity in Shibuya was a mess." Seishin replied feeling slightly embarrassed.
"Ah, geez… Calm down, Uryu." The Orange haired male said. "Slaying Hollows in Shibuya alone and getting here as quickly as he could wasn't easy.
"Ichigo's right! There's no need to apologize, Seishin!" The Orange haired female said,
"Thanks, guys!" Seishin kindly replied.
"Are you ready, Seishin?" Ichigo asked as he held out his fist.
"Yes, I am Ichigo." Seishin replied as he and Ichigo bumped fists before Seishin twirled his zanpaktou in his right hand before standing his ground with both hands on the large sword.
(Playing Number One(TYBW) by Shiro SAGISU ft. Hazel Fernandez)
Seishin and the others stood as they watched the three Hollows make a loud roar, calling other Hollows in the vicinity to come to their aid. Hollows big and small soon arrived and surrounded the five fighters. Seishin chuckled at the sight of the Hollows surrounding them.
"There's so many of them! How are they able to handle this?!" Ryūnosuke thought as he saw the Hollows surrounding them.
One of the Hollows that's pig-like makes the first move towards Orihime. She turned to see it before and prepared to fight against it.
"Shiten Kōshun!" Orihime cried, calling out her attack. Her Shun Shun Rikka glowed gold before it formed a rectangular shield, blocking the Hollow's attack with ease. "Evil Spirit, I Reject!
After Orihime said her incantation, the gold shield that blocked the Hollow, released a powerful pulse, sending the Hollow away like it was nothing. That same hollow bumped into three others which Chad prepared for his attack.
"Brazo Izquierda del Diablo." He muttered as he cocked his left fist back. His fingertips formed five disks of crackling spiritual pressure. After getting one glance of the Hollows in front of him, he let out his punch, calling out his attack.
"La Muerte!" Chad cried as his punch sent those Hollows flying into a sturdy building, destroying them with ease and a huge skull shape was gouged into the surface of the building.
Uryu began his assault by using his Quincy Bow and effortlessly killed each Hollow he saw with swift precision, at the same time used his spiritual pressure on his feet to help him move faster, like he's skating on air. He swiftly evades each of the Hollows' attacks. Before long, he jumped onto a billboard and then leapt high in the air, before charging his Quincy Bow.
Seishin saw Uryu preparing to unleash his attack, so he quickly slammed a hollow in its face and sent it away, which bumped into four more Hollows in Uryu's line of sight.
"Ichigo!" Seishin called out to him, which got his attention. Ichigo turned to Seishin who grabbed his arm with his left hand and looked to the sky.
"Licht Regen!" Uryu called out his attack before firing a volley of arrows down at the Hollows, but Seishin managed to save Ichigo
"Bakudō #81. Dankū!" Seishin formed a large defensive wall, just seconds before Uryu's attack rained down on the enemy. Uryu then landed beside the two Shinigami while fixing his glasses.
"Nice timing on defending Ichigo, Seishin." Uryu complimented him.
"Much appreciated, Uryu." Seishin replied.
"Nice timing?! You almost killed us!" Ichigo rebuked Uryu
"Oh, stop whining… Seishin saved you, didn't he?" Uryu calmly snapped back.
Ryūnosuke was amazed at how each of them were able to fend off the Hollows with little to no problems. Unaware of him, two more hollows were about to grab the timid greenhorn. As Ryūnosuke turned to see them, he was slow to react in time, Thankfully, Ichigo and Seishin blocked those Hollows' attempts.
"You okay, kid?" Ichigo asked him.
"Y-yeah, I am now." Ryūnosuke replied.
"Good… You might wanna stand back. This will all be over in an instant." Seishin replied as a flame cage was formed around him, Ichigo and the enemies' hands
Ryūnosuke saw what was going to happen so he quickly got up, grabbed his zanpaktou and moved out of the way.
"Ready, Seishin?" Ichigo smirked at Seishin.
"Always, Ichigo!" Seishin replied with the same smirk. With a small push of his zanpaktou, he effortlessly cut one of the bars of his cage.
"BANKAI!" The two called out as an explosion of spiritual pressure was let out with a tower of light and flame appeared for a few seconds. Before long, Seishin and Ichigo were in their respective Bankai. Ichigo with Tensa Zangetsu and Seishin with his Bāningusouru Reddnouva.
"Now… Let's wrap this up. With a Fuckin' Bang!" Seishin said as he and Ichigo prepared their final attacks. Ichigo's zanpaktou was enveloped in pitch black aura, while Seishin's zanpaktou was enveloped in searing flames.
"GETSUGA… TENSHOU!"
"SEN… TAIYOU!"
The two unleached their signature attacks, eradicating all the Hollows in the area with ease, leaving behind a smoke cloud that put the Atomic Bomb's explosion to shame. Once the smoke cleared, Ryūnosuke was shocked that every Hollow was destroyed. He was flabbergasted at the two Soul Reapers for a moment, watching them fist bump each other once more for a job well done.
"Wh-Who are you two?" Ryūnosuke asked them, which got their attention.
"Substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki." Ichigo greeted him.
"...and I'm the Substitute Soul Reaper of Shibuya, Seishin Samayou!" Seishin greeted him with a calm smirk.
(Song Ended)
Two days later; in the afternoon, Ryūnosuke woke up after a long rest. He noticed that he's in a new environment. As he slowly turned his head, he turned to see a familiar face: Ichigo, sitting on a chair by the window.
"Ah, you finally woke up. Now get lost!" Ichigo being his usual self.
"Chill out, Ichigo. He had quite the traumatic experience. Let him have a chance to get up, okay?" Seishin said.
"Fine…" Ichigo replied with a sigh before watching Seishin help Ryūnosuke sit up.
"Hey kid, I'm just glad you and your friend are in one piece."
"Ye-Yeah…" Ryūnosuke replied until he was shocked to see that he's in the home of Ichigo Kurosaki. "W-Wait, you're the guys that saved my life last night!"
"If you realize that now, you're really out of it!" Ichigo said to him, "and for the record, that was two nights ago."
"Yeah, kid, you were out for quite a while." Seishin said as he stood with his hands in his pockets. Just then, Orihime came up with a tray of bread and pastries.
"Look what I got! Fresh bread and Pastries!" Orihime cheered.
"Perfect timing, Orihime! I'm Hungry, I could eat a Horse!" Seishin said, rubbing his hands together.
"You're sure that food is actually fresh?" Ichigo asked Orihime. "Those were the leftovers that didn't sell."
"Fine! If you're going to be rude about it, you won't get any!" Orihime looked away from Ichigo after hearing what he said.
"Come on, Ichigo! Don't be a party pooper!" Seishin said, making Ichigo scowl.
"Seishin and Orihime are right… You are being rude." Uryu said as he walked in. "You and Seishin enjoy Orihime's food more than anyone. You shouldn't try to make her upset.
"I agree." Chad added as he followed behind.
"Uryu, Chad! Good morning!" Seishin greeted them.
"Good morning Seishin." Uryu replied to the red headed male, before turning to Ichigo. "You see, Ichigo! Seishin is being respectful. You should take a page from him."
"Hey screw you!" Ichigo rebuked Uryu while Orihime giggled seeing Seishin gazing at her tray of bread and pastries. "By the way, haven't you heard of knocking!
"Yuzu let us in when we ran into her." Uryu replied. "Now would you go down and bring us some plates?"
"Who died and made you boss?" Ichigo questioned him
"I'm not ordering you. I'm just giving you advice. This is your home and we are your guests." Uryu said.
"Uryu's right Ichigo! If you guys were at my place and you asked for food, I would be the one to bring the plates up, since I would be the host." Seishin said.
"Go to Hell!" Ichigo rebuked again at Uryu and at Seishin, which the red haired shinigami replied with a deadpan look on his face.
"I'll get the plates; back in a flash." Seishin replied as he left using his flashstep. He then returned with a couple plates in hand and kindly gave them to Orihime, which she and Chad were serving them.
"Wait, Shino! Is she-" Ryūnosuke gasped realizing what happened to Shino that night; as he was going to ask them, Ichigo gave him a plate full of pastries.
"You're hungry, right? Go ahead and eat." Ichigo said as watched Ryūnosuke take the plate.
"We'll gladly explain what happened that night, after you calm down." Seishin said before he sank his teeth into a donut. Seishin was riddled with glee as he savored Orihime's pastries.
"Yeah, I forgot… You don't eat like that, so climb into the Gigai right next to you." Ichigo said as Ryūnosuke turned to see the Gigai, before he screamed again.
"Come on, Ryūnosuke! You're gonna make me deaf in one ear, with all that screaming!" Seishin said. Before long, Shino arrived with two bags of soda from the convenience store. When she saw Ryūnosuke, her eyes got teary and accidentally dropped the bags.
"Ryūnosuke…" Shino said his name with a red teary blush on her face.
"Shino! Thank goodness." Ryūnosuke sighed with relief. "You're aliv-"
"You're so pathetic!" Shino replied as she clotheslined Ryūnosuke down on the bed. While she was beating up her teammate, Ichigo and the others resumed eating while Seishin was watching what was going on.
"Let them sort their systems out, Seishin." Ichigo said as he took a bite of his donut.
"Okay, I guess…" Seishin replied until he got a text of Hollow activity back in his Hometown. "Damn… I gotta go. Thanks for letting me here for a bit, Ichigo."
"Ahh… It's no problem; you're like a brother to me, after all." Ichigo said as he and Seishin fistbumped again. The two shared a smirk and a small chuckle as he stood back up on his feet. As he was about to leave, Orihime called out to him.
"Here, Seishin! Take this with you!" Orihime handed him a sealed tray of her bread and pastries, with Chad giving him a can of soda.
"Thanks, you guys! See you later!" Seishin replied before he put them in a plastic bag, and waved to them before leaving with a flashstep.
Seishin ate his share of donuts with quick haste while he leapt through the air. By the time he arrived in Shibuya, he had already finished eating. He checked his phone; tracking the Hollow's location, only to discover that there was no Hollow activity.
"Odd… There was some Hollow activity, according to my phone, but now there's no sign." Seishin thought. Minutes later, he leapt over the buildings, trying to find Hollow activity. "Something's off…"
"Yeah, something is indeed off. Even if they find a way to lower their spiritual pressure, I can still sense them." Seishin's Hollow answered. "We'll look around as we're heading home."
"Right." Seishin replied as he leapt into the air en route to his home. As he took his time leaping slowly through the air, he sensed an unknown presence. He briefly closed his eyes for a moment to locate where this presence is, until he opened his eyes glaring in the air ahead of him.
"Sir, we found the strongest demon here. We're in pursuit…" One voice softly spoke, which alerted Seishin and his Inner Hollow.
"Seishin…" Seishin's Hollow called him.
"Yeah, we're being followed." Seishin replied telepathically. Behind Seishin were seven people with wings carrying spears in their hands
The red haired male continued to leap through the air for another few seconds, before he vanished using his flashstep. Those followers quickly reacted and followed until they arrived in the center of Shibuya's Scramble Crossing. Those followers wore long-sleeved gray minidresses with a high collar with a feather-like pattern collared in a gray gradient. They also wore grayish-white sashes around their waist, black leggings underneath, grayish-white, arm-length gloves and thigh-high heeled boots with a single gray stripe on the cuffs. On their faces they wore freaky looking full-head masks, each with a black halo with points on the front and back, and LED screens on their faces, however each of their masks have one large eye, appearing as a white circle, while the other is a large white X. They also sport a pair of black horns with thin white stripes, which vary in position. They were also carrying either spears, swords, or guns in their hands.
They looked around for Seishin, unaware of where he was hiding. Unaware to them, Seishin is standing on the bridge connecting two buildings. He looked down at them, seeing what they truly looked like.
"They look like… Female Angels?" Seishin's Inner Hollow said through telepathy as he looked at them through Seishin's right eye.
"They don't look like any Angels I know from stories and such." Seishin replied to his Hollow. "We better give them OUR warm hospitality, Shibuya-style."
"I must agree… You know what to do. Kick their asses, Firefly. But be careful." Seishin turned to his Inner Hollow and smirked as he gave his Hollow look-a-like a Thumbs up, moments before he returned to his mind.
The Angels looked around for another moment until Seishin called out to them.
"Ya know… For Angels, I normally see them as normal people wearing white dresses, with gold halos on their heads and flying around with wings as bright as day." Seishin said as he stood with his hands on his hips. "...and I know you are not those Angels. Who are you …and what's your business targeting me?"
"It's him! It's the demon!" One Angel with a Jagged right horn called out.
"He's our prime target!" Another Angel, with a bulky body and a ram shaped mask answered.
"He must be stopped!" The third Angel with a slender figure added.
"I'm asking you once again, Who are you, and what is your business targeting me?!" Seishin called out to them.
"We won't need to answer you! We only need to KILL you!" The angel with the Jagged horn said as she charged towards him with her spear. Seishin didn't say, but just as she was about to attack him with her spear, Seishin lazily twirled to the right, easily evading the enemy spear. He then grabbed the spear, before kicking her down to the street.
(Now Playing Free Bird(Church Fight Scene) from Kingsman: The Secret Service)
"Very well, the Hard Way it is." Seishin softly scoffs as he sees all the other Angels charging at Seishin. He immediately charged towards the bulky Angel as she was about to use her twin swords. Seishin used his flashstep to evade her attack and reappeared behind her. As she turned around, a swift punch was delivered to her face, sending her flying towards the wall of a building. Three other angels, each with swords, spears and daggers, tried to attack Seishin from behind as he slowly drew out his zanpaktou. Seishin anticipated them coming before he swiftly swung his blade, cutting their weapons in half before kicking them down where the other two angels are at.
Four more quickly appeared, in an attempt to attack him. Seishin parried each of them with swift ease, before using his flashstep, reappearing above them before striking the air as a condensed wave. Those angels were struck and landed head first into the ground. Seishin, on the other hand, has softly landed in the center of the crossing.
"Are you done?" Seishin asked them, as they got back up and looked at him. The LCDs on their masks, once showing sadistic smiles, now they're showing looks of anger and scowls. They gripped their weapons tightly in their grasp, preparing their next attack. The angel with the Jagged horns growled at Seishin's presence. More importantly, they're struggling to take down one single man.
"Initiate Attack Pattern Alpha!" The Jagged Horn Angel ordered the others to spread out and surround him. Each of them gripped their weapons before the blades were glowing golden yellow. Seishin looked around watching what was going to happen. Suddenly he was ensnared by some gold rings by the Bulky angel with the ram mask. The weight of the rings was too heavy for him, which made Seishin buckle under the strain and fall to his knees.
"Now! The Jagged horn angel cried as she and the others charged in for the attack.
"That's… It!" Seishin roared as his spiritual pressure rose greatly, making the ground around him shake. The weight of his spiritual pressure was too great for the angels as he broke through the rings using sheer will. He rose back to his feet and grabbed his zanpaktou firmly in his right hand.
"You played your hand, ladies… Now here's mine." Seishin raised his zanpaktou in front of them as it began to envelop itself in steam, getting hotter by the second.
"What is he doing?" The bulky angel questioned what Seishin was doing.
"...and why is his weapon steaming up?" The slender angel wondered.
"Now, Erupt! Reddnouva!" Seishin cried as his zanpaktou was enveloped in flames for a few seconds, before revealing his shikai's true face.
"Such power! Worthy for a demon!" The jagged horn angel gasped.
"I am no demon! I am a Soul Reaper, and I don't allow trespassers to invade my home!" Seishin said as he entered his stance.
The angels growled at Seishin's resolve as they charged towards him for a group assault. The lone Shinigami stood his ground for a moment as he watched those Angels closing in. He smirked, surprising the group before muttering one move.
"Honō Kurōn…" Seishin muttered as his zanpaktou briefly glowed seconds before he was tackled by those Angels. When they thought they managed to land a hit on Seishin, they only attacked a clone of him, as they watched the clone turn to flames and fizzled out.
"Where did he go?!" The jagged horn angel yelled.
"Hmph… Right above you." Seishin said, floating above them with both hands on his zanpaktou. The angels charged towards Seishin once more, only to vanish in the blink of an eye. Just then, an orange glow emitted from behind them; they turned around seeing Seishin enveloped in a flaming aura; like he was on fire, and his zanpaktou surges with incredible power. To their surprise, Seishin is about to let out his attack.
"Now… Sen Taiyou!" Seishin roared as he unleashed his signature attack in the form of a High Density beam as hot as the Sun. The angels were too late to react as they were swallowed up by Seishin's attack, and an explosion was made once the attack was connected. Moments after the smoke cleared the seven angels fell hard on the ground, badly hurt from the attack. Their clothes; were merely singed with holes in some places, and the LCD on their cracked masks were glitching out. Each of them were gasping their breaths, lucky to be alive. They then turned to see Seishin softly land on the streets. They struggled to get back up, as Seishin slowly approached them. He sees the faces of each of those angels, they were either gray or white skinned. To his guess, they aren't no ordinary angels.
"You wretched demon! You could've killed us!" The jagged horned angel growled.
"...yet I didn't." Seishin calmly rebuked, "I held back with that attack, so you seven can live to see the next day. Like I said, I'm no Demon. I'm a Soul Reaper, and as a resident of Shibuya, I order you to leave my Hometown, and never come back!"
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! What the fuck is going on here?!" Another voice called out to them, even getting Seishin's attention. "You only had one job: Eliminate the Demon in this area! …and you obviously failed!"
Seishin sensed another presence on top of the building. He turned to see another angel wearing a mask that appeared similar to the others that Seishin fought. However, his normal-looking eyes and golden facial expressions. The mask also held a pair of horns similar to an Exorcist, albeit longer, smoother, and with a golden ornamental attachment on the tips. His halo was bright gold, unlike those angels. But his halo has two spikes pointing up and down from each other. His hands; though they are visible, were all black; probably skin tight gloves. He also wore a smooth white and golden cloak with a large 'A' emblazoned on the front and gold-tipped spikes on the back of his collar.
"Judging from the outfit, the snarky ego, and the fact you're making those angels scared, you must be the Head Angel." Seishin said as he rested his zanpaktou over his right shoulder.
"No, but I work for her! I'm the Head Leader of the Exorcist Angels you fought." The Angel said. "Name's Adam! Ya know, The First Man. The First Soul in Heaven. THE Dickmaster! The Original Dick!"
"Ya know… You say such things, but all you are is a walking cringe-fest." Seishin scoffed, rubbing his head from a potential migraine he's getting from his talking, at the same time earning a scowl from the Head Angel. "I don't know what your business is here with me, but I don't appreciate you and your band of sadistic freaks invading my home, attacking me, assuming I am a Demon."
"My Angels and I sensed a demon with incredible power here, but it turns out that it was you. Just a man running in a bathrobe." Adam chuckled
"Hmph, jokes fall on deaf ears." Seishin said as he leapt up into the air so he could meet Adam face to face. He looked at Adam with unfazed resolve in his eyes, something the Angel doesn't like in him.
"Now I'm going to say this once more, otherwise things won't be pretty for you, Adam." Seishin said as he prepared to fight the angel head-on. "I order you to leave my Hometown, and never come back!"
"No one orders me to DO anything, except for the Head Angel! Not even you." Adam rebuked as he glared at him. "You should be on your knees, worshiping my presence in this town."
"ME? Worshiping you?! You are just as narcissistic as that orange skinned felon I heard in the news!" Seishin rebuked with a scowl on his face. "I won't bow to him, and I won't bow to you!"
Seishin charged towards Adam, with his zanpaktou firmly gripped in his hand. Just as Seishin was about to attack Adam, he saw a smirk on his face, sensing a trap he just fell in.
(Now playing Adagio for TRON, from TRON Legacy; by Marc-André Gautier)
"Seishin, LOOK OUT! ABOVE YOU!" Seishin's Hollow called out to him, but it was too late to react. A sword pierced through his back and out of his chest. Seishin froze when he felt searing pain through his chest, the likes he never felt. The pain felt like his heart and everything else inside was burning, WHILE he's alive!
"Perfect timing, Danger Tits." Adam smirked as he looked up the other Exorcist Angel. Lute wears the same outfit as the other Exorcists Seishin fought, but her mask has a few visual differences, her horns are curved backwards and her mask's right pupil is a white circle with an X over it instead of a white X.
"So this is the Demon giving you trouble? Hmph… He's more of a weak human." Lute smirked as he looked at Seishin whom she pierced with her sword. She quickly pulled her sword out of him as he slowly fell.
"Maybe he's right, but then again I like your thoughts better. He IS a weak human." Adam scoffed for a moment until he and Adam saw Seishin's sword surging with flaming spiritual pressure.
"Sen…" Seishin muttered aloud before he vanished using flashstep, surprising them. Before long, he appeared beside Lute shoving her into Adam with such force. Adam and Lute saw Seishin with his unfazed resolve.
"OH, SHIT!" Adam gasped as the brightness from Seishin's zanpaktou grew too much, blinding the two angels.
"TAIYOU!" Seishin pushed himself back before unleashing his full power at the two angels. The attack struck them hard, damaging them while in the explosion. When the smoke cleared, he saw both Adam and Lute covered in burn marks, on their skin and clothes. The look of anger and shock on their faces was satisfying enough for him as he raised his middle finger, flipping them off, before coughing up blood from the injury he got from Lute's attack.
"Damn that weak man!" Lute growled as she charged at Seishn, She immediately pierced his heart with her sword before pinning him hard in the ground. Seishin coughed blood once more as he grunted from the searing pain again. At the same time, Adam appeared over them. He glared at Seishin as he endured the pain from Lute while never letting go of his zanpaktou. Angered, he used his Guitar Axe, which became an actual ax and chopped off his right arm, earning a scream of pain from the red haired shinigami.
"You dare lay a hand on me? You dare leave burn marks on me?! You dare LOOK DOWN ON ME?!" Adam questioned his resolve with anger in his eyes. "I HATE YOUR RESOLVE! You are no different than some of the demons in Hell, Lute and her army killed every year. …and one she and I hate in particular."
"Well… S-Sucks to be you, Cringefest." Seishin said while enduring the pain. "I-I don't know this one you hate in p-particular… But at least that person and I have one thing in common: Being Stubborn and Persistent."
Seishin laughed for a brief moment as Adam and Lute growled at his response. However his laughter fell short as Adam wrapped his hand around Seishin's neck, before feeling his power getting taken away.
"Stubborn you say?" Adam questions him as he dangles Seishin up over the street and opens a portal to Hell . "Let's see how Stubborn you are without that power of yours AND with a one-way trip to Hell!"
Adam tries to take his power away, while Seishin and his Inner Hollow tries their hardest to keep them from getting taken.
"Seishin! Adam's grip is too strong! We can't maintain this much longer!" Seishin's Hollow warned him.
"Yeah! No Shit, Partner!" Seishin replied to his Hollow. "I am not giving our power up! Not to a freak with a God-Complex personality!"
"Seishin, if you continue this, you'll lose your powers and your life will get sucked away. Don't do this!"
"We didn't come this far in life just to lose to a narcissistic angel who would bully others." Seishin said, which left his Hollow speechless.
"You and I didn't get along since you came into my life, …after being bit by that dying Hollow Dragon I had slain. You always wanted to take over my body and use it for your own purposes. But through our adventures, you slowly develop a change of heart. You grew to help me in battle, cheer me up when I'm sad, we even laughed at funny memories. You became more than a Hollow. You became my brother! …and I won't lose my own brother to some stupid angels!"
Seishin's Hollow remembered every moment Seishin mentioned. He really has grown over the couple years he's been in his Inner World. He has grown strong, but also more …human. As he realized, Seishin's Hollow watched as Seishin tried his best to save his closest ally, while resisting Adam from taking his powers.
Adam on the other hand was surprised that Seishin is Still resisting even now.
"How long do I have to take, just to take his powers away?! I'm starting to get annoyed!" Adam growled as he tightened his grip on Seishin's neck.
Seishin felt Adam's grip on his neck tighten, while Seishin's Hollow gasped at the sight of Seishin's resistance weakening. The Hollowfied persona nods as he pushes Seishin back a few feet from him.
"Seishin… there is one thing I can do for you…" Seishin appeared in his mindscape with his Inner Hollow. The Hollow turned to Seishin who smiled softly at him as he held his hands in front of his chest. His right palm above his left, two inches apart.
"Hollow? No, you can't do this! I need you by my side!" Seishin cried out to his Hollow Brother, who simply chuckled as the Yin/Yang symbol appeared on his chest and beneath his feet. He began to gather all of Seishin's spiritual pressure along with almost all of his own and formed it into a condensed sealed orb of energy. Once he got it all, but the remaining power within his own body.
"Hollow I'm not letting you go!" Seishin yelled at him as he saw his Hollow's body slowly getting drained away from Adam's grip.
"Seishin, I know you'll make it." Seishin's Hollow kindly said. "You're strong… You're kind…. You're stubborn at times, but more importantly, you always protect the ones you love.
"Hollow don't do this! Please reconsid-" Seishin tries to reason with him before his Hollow puts him to sleep using Tanma Otoshi. He then placed the condensed ball of spiritual pressure into his chest like a missing puzzle piece connected to become complete.
"I know you'll save me, soon. Be safe, …my brother." Seishin's Hollow smiled as he kept Seishin's spirit in his Inner World, before he took the reins of Seishin's control. Seishin's Hollow took control of Seishin's body and made a last second move to reattach his severed right arm back together.
"Sorry, you pathetic angel. You won't get All of his power." Seishin's Hollow said, surprising the two as his left hand formed a Cero before shoving it into Adam's chest. "Also, you may have won, but you haven't seen the last of this handsome guy!"
Seishin's Hollow fired a Cero at Adam, ripping his grip from Seishin's neck, before the last of his essence was taken away. Lute tried to catch him, but it was too late. Seishin fell into the portal seconds before it closed up on her.
As Seishin was falling hard like a meteor, he slowly opened his right eye, while remembering the last moments of Seishin's Inner Hollow sacrificing himself to save his Shinigami brother. He remembered the final words he said to him.
"Be safe, …my brother." Seishin's eyes grew teary before he landed in the alleyway of an underworld city.
"H-Hollow…" Seishin muttered his brother's name as he struggled to get back up once more, but his wounds; though they were healing, were too great. He fell back, gasping from his injuries.
"Adam… You haven't seen the last of me… I'll be back… I mean it." Seishin muttered before passing out from the injuries.
