Bleach: Two Worlds

Chapter 8: Ties

ICHIGO STOOD before Byakuya who looked at him with shock. Ichigo laughed maniacally and spoke in a different, resounding voice.

      "I'm finally here," Ichigo said laughing, "I'm finally the king,"

Ichigo turned away from Byakuya and looked around.

      "Imagine what I can do with —" Ichigo tried to say when the petals swooped passed his left arm.

Ichigo looked at his left arm calmly. His arm was seriously lacerated and bled profusely. Ichigo turned to Byakuya, unfazed and grinned.

      "So you're first in line, huh?" Ichigo asked.

Ichigo laughed like a lunatic and his arm instantly healed. Ichigo flew up to Byakuya and the petals came in his way. Ichigo teleported passed the petals and swung toward Byakuya who teleported out of the way. Byakuya appeared in the air and Ichigo spun his arm upward as if it was made of rubber Black energy with a red trim shot out of his Zanpakutou tip and shot out at Byakuya in a crescent shape. Byakuya teleported out of the way and Ichigo ran toward him, laughing maniacally. Ichigo jumped up, flipped twice in midair and swung his arm upward, releasing a whirly, wiggly shaped Getsugatenshou. The energy shot at Byakuya and the petals came in the way. The energy destroyed the petals and flew toward Byakuya who teleported away. Byakuya shot petals at Ichigo who flew toward them. Ichigo skated on the petals with his feet while slashing them as if they were nothing. Ichigo jumped off the petals and his boots and feet were lacerated. The wounds healed instantly and he flew toward Byakuya. Ichigo flew up in front of Byakuya and a Getsugatenshou moved up to him from behind. Byakuya teleported out of the way and landed on the ground. Byakuya looked around, waiting for Ichigo's next move. Byakuya couldn't see him. Ichigo appeared behind Byakuya, about to fire a Getsugatenshou when Gin appeared behind him. Gin placed his hand on Ichigo's head and Ichigo fell like a log.

      "Gin," Byakuya asked, "What are you doing?"

Gin lifted Ichigo and shouldered him.

      "You took too long," Gin said.

Gin teleported away.

YORUICHI LAY motionless on the ground in the forests on the outskirts of the Sereitei.

SOIFON JUMPED back as a Stealth Force Shinigami threw a kick at her. Soifon cut his chest with her gauntlet and kicked him. A Stealth Force Shinigami kicked Soifon's left arm and another elbowed her in the head. Soifon teleported away and a Stealth Force Shinigami appeared behind her, kicking her lower back. Soifon leg swept the Stealth Force Shinigami behind her and stabbed him in the chest. A Stealth Force Shinigami grabbed her left arm and pressed down on her shoulder. Another Stealth Force Shinigami moved in to cut her and she teleported away. Soifon held her arm in pain as the Stealth Force Shinigami ran up to her. A Stealth Force Shinigami threw a punch at Soifon who blocked it then stabbed him in his gut. A Stealth Force Shinigami threw a dagger at Soifon who dodged it. The other Stealth Force Shinigami threw daggers at Soifon and she teleported away.

Soifon appeared on a rooftop and looked at her left arm. There was a gash on it that began to bleed. Soifon winced and ripped a piece off her kimono, wrapping it around the gash and tightening it. Two Stealth Force Shinigami appeared beside Soifon, stabbing daggers toward her. Soifon teleported out of the way and landed a kick on a Stealth Force Shinigami who stood on a rooftop. Soifon grabbed string made of steel from the Stealth Force Shinigami's pocket and wrapped it around his neck. A Stealth Force Shinigami threw a dagger at Soifon and she used the one she strangled as a shield. The remaining Stealth Force Shinigami threw daggers at Soifon. Soifon wrapped her legs around the Stealth Force Shinigami's corpse and did a cartwheel, using it as a shield. Soifon kicked the corpse toward the two Stealth Force Shinigami who jumped out of the way.
