Love never really goes away - Toshiro Hitsugaya

Chapter 15

Unmei stepped back as she felt ichigos spiritual pressure shoot out and surround him 

"Ichigo" Unmei says and shock and watched as he stood up with his Zanpukto no longer broken. 

The spiritual pressure that surrounded him was magnificent and Unmei smiled happily as she saw that the orange head was ok 

"You act all tuff but you really are just a big softy arent you?" Ichigo asks as he smirks over at unmei and she rolled her eyes playfully at him and quickly wiped her tears away from her face 

"Shut up idiot. i have absolutely no idea what the hell you are talking about," Unmei says and crosses her arms and turns away from him 

"Im going to protect you Unmei, no matter what," Ichigo says as he stares at her, his goofy grin was now nowhere to be seen and instead it was replaced with the most serious look that she had every seen the boy wear 

"Ichigo..." Unmei whispered as she observed the boy 

Ichigo looks over at Kenpachi who was now sporting a confused and worried look

Ichigo stepped forward quickly and cut deeply into the squad 11 captains arm and Kenpachis eyes widened in shock at the fact that the boy was able to cut him 

Kenpachi quickly dodged ichigos next attack and then the two boys started going back and forth with the attacks but it was obvious to Unmei as she watched who had the upper hand.

'you are strong Ichigo' Unmei says to herself 'you are too young to have to deal with this stuff, you shouldn't have this much burden or this much weight on your shoulders'

Unmei watched closely as they continued to fight and she noticed that even though Kenpachi was smirking, she could see the glint of fear in his eyes. Everyone fears something and Unmei believed that the thing that Zaraki Kenpachi feared most was losing.

Ichigo sends the captain flying back, resulting in the captain having to use his sword to stop himself from going too far back 

"sorry, but i don't have time here" Ichigo says as he looked over at the captain who was now breathing heavily "I'm going to end this quickly"

Kenpachi begins to laugh at the words that escaped the young boys lips "End it quickly, Huh? I cant allow that. Not after.. it has gotten to be so much fun!" 

Kenpachi Zaraki charged for Ichigo and Ichigo was quick to charge back and cut deep into the captains face but the captain was quick to do the same 

"I love it," Zaraki yells and continues attacking "How come you revived? How come you are suddenly so much stronger? I have got a bunch of questions that are beginning to bother me! but forget them for now! lets just have fun with this fight!"

Kenpachi started to release more spiritual pressure and it formed in the shape of a skull and Ichigo instantly thought back to the time where Unmeis spiritual pressure formed itself into the head of a wolf 

Ichigo charged for Zaraki and began to worry as the captain continued to block the attacks 

"Dont give up Ichigo" Unmei yells "you can do this. I believe in you"

Ichigo looked over at the wolf and the light in her eyes made him look back at Kenpachi with a scowl on his face "Im going to defeat you, no matter what" Ichigo yells and attacks Zaraki, getting a large gash on the captain chest 

"How do you love fighting so much, what the heck is wrong with you?" Ichigo yells "Arent you afraid of being cut or afraid of dying?" 

"Something is wrong with me? No. Something is wrong with YOU! you are so strong, why don't you like fighting, you are just like Unmei, none of us have even seen her Bankai except for the head captain of the 13 court Gaurd squads. She is praised and feared for her high spiritual pressure and combat skills yet she refuses to use her full strength. Why? Because she is afraid of hurting someone. But if i had the abilities that she had, i wouldn't stop using them" Kenpachi says as he smirks and then points his blade in the direction of the wolf "The Great Unmei Urahara, One of two flash masters and one of three soul reapers to wild duel blades, Master of Combat and legend of kids. Her Zanpaktos are the gods of the weather and wind. What a complete waste of power"

Zaraki charges towards unmei but is stopped by Ichigo 

"Dont ever touch her, or i WILL kill you" Ichigo growls and then begins to release his spiritual pressure which forms itself in the shape of a hollow mask and Kenpachis eyes widen in shock and Ichigo flies forwards and cuts him multiple times in the chest 

"Someones a bit protective" Kenpachi laughs and then grabs his eyepatch "its been a long time since i got to use to my full ability and i think that when I'm fighting you, i cant fight with every single thing that I've got"

Kenpachi rips the eyepatch off and all of his spiritual pressure is released and shoots up into the sky like a giant tornado 

Ichigo covers his face with his zanpukto and stands in front of Unmei protectively "what the hell?" Ichigo asks "the moment he removed his eye patch, his spiritual pressure jumped up. that's dirty, you have another trick after fighting this long? What are you hiding in that right eye?"

"Hiding? in my right eye? Hah! as if i would use such a shallow trick" Kenpachi laughs "i got Unmei to make this for me a monster that consumes spiritual energy, I'm gonna pump it all out, all of this spiritual energy"

Zaraki swiped his sword to the right and the building next to him was cut in half even though it wasn't touched by the blade "in order to kill you, that is all this is" 

Ichigo twitched in fear but he stood his ground

"Listen to your Zanputko Ichigo" Unmei ordered and then watched as he closed his eyes for a few seconds and then reopened them 

"that goes without say, I'm going to put all of my power into your hand, Ichigo says and his eyes turn a light blue "do what you will with it, and lend me your power

Ichigos spiritual power goes up even more than before 

"oh, after all of this time, your spiritual power still increases?" Kenpachi asks 

"Im borrowing zangetsus power and fighting alongside him" Ichigo states "i will never lose to someone who is like you. someone who only fights alone" 

"Zangetsu, is that the name of that Zanpukto? borrowing the power of your zanpukto and fighting alongside it? Nonsense! Zanpukto is a re tool for fighting. that is the line of a weakling who has no confidence in his own strength. So he 'borrows' the power of his zanpukto. And that is... not my line Ichigo" Kenpachi yells out 

Unmei watches as Ichigo gets into a fighting position and then the two boys charge at each other and unmei covers her face as they clash and everything goes bright.

All of the buildings around them collapse and unmei tries to look through the smoke to see Ichigo and she watches in shock once the smoke had finally cleared 

Ichigo and Kenpachi were both standing completely still, both with their sword lodged through the other persons body 

"sorry everyone" Ichigo says and then falls to the ground 

Kenpachi stands there for a second before smikring "you dot. you are the one who won" and then he collapsed next to Ichigo 

Unmei ran over to Ichigo and then all of the sudden her fur began to disappear and she grew taller and was now in her human form and picks Ichigo and his zanpukto up

"you really are a big idiot arent you?" Unmei sighs and then flashsteps away with ichigos body in one arm and his sword in the other
