Bleach: New Generation

Chapter 46: Broken, Rebuilt, and Restored

Kazui's POV:

I stared at the dead body of my friend, Kaito. There was no life in his eyes at all as it gazed towards nothing. My hands trembled in a mix of emotions. Anger, fear, disagreement, and sadness all swirled around my body. Behind me, I heard a loud rumbling sound from what I know is the person that killed him. I sensed that my Shun Shun Rikka were finished healing Ichika from where I left her. Raising my hands, I drew the small spirits back towards me.

"Sotenkisshun, I reject"

A bright orange glow appeared around Kaito's body as soon as my spirits arrived, indicating the instant healing process. Though, there was a single problem that I needed to manage, and that was my friend's killer. An explosion followed the rumbling as dirt and other debris blew in different directions. I couldn't feel any Spiritual Pressure from that thing, which meant that it was definitely a Sinner. I was going to plunge its sorry soul straight into the depths of hell. No matter how far I go, no matter how much I suffer, I'll deliver the punishment that Kaito would've wanted, and to keep Ichika safe.

Closing my eyes, I took in the situation at hand. I couldn't let my emotions get the better of me. I needed to stay calm and take the problem head on. There was no way a problem like this couldn't be solved.

A swift slashing sound on my left side was heard. I immediately drew my two blades and blocked the attack. Ever since my encounter with my first Sinner, I had remained in Shunko form, which allowed me to always be alert. I dashed to the side, pushing away my attacker and cornering it into a nearby tree.

"Are you the one who killed him, Sinner?"

"I indeed did. You like how your friend looks? He's nice and dead on the ground just the way I wanted him to. I pierced every single nerve, bone, and flesh in his body. That Shinigami looked so helpless, but somehow put up a fight. I have to say, I'm impre-"

"Shut up. That was all I needed to hear. I'll send you straight back to Hell now", I declared coldly. I charged up my two blades with all the reishi, reiatsu and reiryoku I could sense all around me. The anger boiling up inside of me immediately rid myself of any hesitation.

"Getsugatenshou"

I launched an X-shaped attack from my swords, absolutely destroying the tree and the area surrounding it. I looked around for the body, but it seemed like the Sinner somehow dodged the large-scale attack. That was when I saw the creature about to strike me from above. With one quick dash I sliced through the enemy's neck, circling around it to make sure it was dead. I heard a laugh from behind me even though I could've sworn I killed it with my own blade. Just before I could turn around, monstrous yellow teeth stabbed through my sword arm. I screamed loudly in pain as I grabbed the Sinner's broken mask and threw him back upwards. Dashing towards him, I threw the chains that came from my Shunko to wrap around his arms. Then, I pulled myself into his personal space and started to release my fury.

I slashed and stabbed every part of its body that I could hit. The anger I was unleashing upon the Sinner was unstoppable. I didn't hold back when I continued to attack it relentlessly. Black and red sparks of my Getsuga lingered out of my blade as if assisting me into adding extra damage. Blood splattered across my Shihakusho, blade, and face. I couldn't control myself anymore. Though along with the anger came great sadness. Even though I was cutting the Sinner up with all my might, deep down I was mourning. Mourning for the death of my new friend. I may have not known him for a long time, but it felt like we were almost brothers in a way. Just like we knew each other for years.

The sadness in my heart deepened even more since I couldn't feel any reiatsu coming from Kaito. By now, any injury should have been rejected or reversed. He should be alive right now. My powers of rejection should apply to even the dead. Urahara-sensei told me how my powers work, so why isn't anything happening?!
