New Life, New Beginning | Sequel to the Misfortune Champion

"Arigato..."

That's what all Renji said before he collapsed into the ground, losing too much blood and exhaustion take over his body, knocking him completely out.

Ichigo winches once more at the pain flowing on his injured torso, he stabs the ground with Zanryuga and fall to his knees, and coughs blood into the ground. "K-Kuso..."

"Ichigo!"

He look up and saw his friends. "Hey, Ichigo! Hang in there!" Both Ganju and Ichiro went to his sides, kneeling down while Ichigo tried to maintain his vision from the pain and blood lost.

Suddenly, they heard footsteps coming. "Someone's coming. Three of them... No, maybe more!" Hani said, as everyone click their tongues, and both Ganju and Ichiro picks Ichigo over their shoulders.

"Let's retreat for now. If they catch up to is now, we'd be screwed as if one of them is a Fukutaicho." Ganju said, before they began run away back to where they came out of from.

"Nozomi, get his Zanpakuto! Let's go!"

Everyone then follows Ichiro, as Nozomi grabs the trench knife version of Zanryuga and run after her companions. As they disappear, the Shinigami arrived with a Fukutaicho named Kira Izuru.

"That's..."

"Abarai-fukutaichou!"

Kira look at the unconscious Renji in both shock and disbelief, as the two Shinigami he brought with him rush towards the unconscious Renji. "Abarai-fukutaichou!"

"Are you alright, Abarai-san?!"

'It... can't be... Abarai-kun got defeated...' Kira thought.

"It seems his opponent has escaped. Shall we follow after them?" A Shinigami asked Izuru, who shook his head in denial.

"No. Right now, we should make Abarai-kun's treatment our first priority. Get a stretcher. We'll transport him to the relief center right away."

"Healing ability?" Ganju asked. "You mean you don't use medicine or something for first aid?"

"No, it's different with us. Other Shinigami's reiryoku is mainly for combat use, but in the 4th Division, healing ability comes with our reiryoku." Hanatarou replied, and turn on a light around a corner. "We can't do much else, though."

"I see, I see. So, how does Ichigo's condition look to you?" Ganju asked, as Ada and Nozomi had already begun healing Ichigo's near open torso. Bright red, and turquoise color surrounding his body.

"It's terrible. He took a close direct hit from a Fukutaicho-class Zanpakuto to his torso while his guard was down, so it's to be expected. Ordinarily, he would have died instantly. He has an unbelievable will to live." Hanatarou said, and took off the strap off his shoulder.

"But I think he would be fully recovered with the two of you helps. I think it would take at least 4 hours to hell him back to shape." Both females nodded, as Hanatarou join in the healing process.

After a while, Ichigo groans and slam his hand over his eyes. "Ughh... My head feels like a turd when I was Corvus Wulfram." He said sarcastically and remove his eyes.

"Oh, you're awake, Ichigo-san."

"Hanatarou?"

"Please don't move. Your open torso still haven't closed yet."

"Oh... yeah, I fought with Renji and became so stupid and overconfident, I let him..." His eyes widened and immediately got up, putting his hands on his knees to support himself.
