This is a training thread for Ichigo, Orihime will be aiding ichigo in regaining some of his powers. (ability to detect spiritual beings and one tech) Kisuke will be of course doing what kisuke does xD haha

OOC: umm what does kisuke do best? xD, also i thought tia was going to join as well or am i wrong?

IC: Ichigo had been to Tatsuki borrowing a game, a fighting game it was time to get some change once in a while, instead of fighting for real he could now play games instead Tekken 4 right well sounds decent enough he thought, he better not forget to bring the game back to tatsuki or she would do horrible things to him, probably, now that he had gotten his game he was heading back home. But something felt wrong as if the air felt tense, it could have been just silly imagination but Ichigo could not shake the feeling, the sky seemed somewhat aloof and heavy, perhaps it was going to rain soon? well in that case he would have to hurry, the last thing he wanted was to get Tatsuki`s game ruined before he even had a chance to play it...

This day was probably going to be just like any other day normal day in a human`s life or so Ichigo thought if he had planned it ahead but not everything went as planned Ichigo knew this perhaps better than anyone.

It was not like Ichigo was really exited about the game but he was too bored to really reject Tatsuki`s offer, she almost pursued him to take it, get his mind of other things now that he was not involved into the shinigami representative stuff anymore, Ichigo dropped something hard on the ground appearently it fell from his bag, Ichigo stopped in his tracks when he heard the noise, he glanced down at the ground and noticed the shinigami representative badge that he had gained after rescuing Rukia, Ukitake had handed it to him with a smile as he had explained how it works, Ichigo had forgotten all about it but picked it up again, the badge had no life in it anymore as if it was a dead rock worthless of note, Ichigo stashed it back into his bag and continued to run he came up to a corner and was just about to turn around the corner.

((OOC: well tia was supposed to run the training but she pulled out for personal reasons x.X ))

Kisuke had been looking for ichigo all day he had to train ichigo he knew something was going to happen and that happening hadn't been pretty he sighed to himself a little bit and noticed that ichigo was running around the corner and held out his finger right as ichigo ran by he snapped his finger knocking him out with a kido he smiled slightly and picked him up. "Hopefully you can forgive me about this Ichigo." He said as he said this he took the knocked out ichigo back to the shop. He looked down at him and smiled a little bit it wouldn't be long till he woke up he turned around and started to walk towards the top he picked up a small mod soul and put it in a doll. "Go get orihime tell her ichigo has been seriously hurt."

Kisuke turned back around and looked at ichigos body any minute now he would wake up. He turned back around and looked at the door way where the small mod soul had walked out of he knew that orihime would and get here as fast as she could but he hoped she didn't get here before ichigo woke up he that spell on ichigo to think that he had been attacked. When he woke up he would think he was in danger and to protect himself from whatever happened. He sighed and turned back around and re thought his plan he knew they would hate them for this after words. But for ichigo to get abilities back he would have to go through a emotional break.

Thats where orihime comes in. When she gets here ichigo will wake up to see kisuke attacking her making them think that he was insane or worse he was sided with the enemy which would toll on their minds like nothing else. This was how he was going to get ichigo to gain his powers back. He may not be able to get them all back but he will get his basic powers back which was good enough for kisuke. He looked back over and sat down closing his eyes waiting on Orihime.

Orihime had been out doing some shopping for food when she started to feel something different in the environment, the air had become thicker and menacing. She wasn’t sure what it was but she knew that something was definitely wrong, as she walked down the street a breeze started to pick up and ruffled past her carrying with it her long hair and if she had not stopped it from doing so would have taken her skirt. She held her skirt down as she waited for the breeze to finish, but as it seemed to last for minutes she knew that it just wasn’t right. Hearing a voice calling her name she looked around confused for a moment, she couldn’t see anyone so where was the voice coming from? Hearing it again she widened her eyes and looked down to the bag she was carrying, her food was talking to her? Slowly opening the bag she was greeted by a plush toy staring back at her, as it started to talk some would have freaked out but Orihime had far from a normal life. “Ummmm Hi?” The response she received from the plush toy was far from expected as it burst into a frantic state, “ORIHIME!! Ichigo he.., you have to come to the shop quickly! He’s hurt real bad Orihime!” Orihime’s eyes widened even further and her heart began to beat quickly, Ichigo was hurt? Why hadn’t she sensed something? Why hadn’t she felt it like she normally did?

Dropping her bag of newly purchased food onto the hard ground below Orihime took off running at full pace down the street, she didn’t care about the produce she had just lost nor did she care about the fact that her skirt was being blown around by the breezes she only cared about getting to the shop and helping Ichigo. With her mind racing almost as fast as her heart Orihime’s pace didn’t slow until she burst into Urahara’s shop, “Ichigo!! Urahara!! Where are you?!” Panting she waited for a reply.

Ichigo was in deep thoughts when he ran, thinking back at the stuff that had been happening and his shinigami representative badge, the thing was obviously not working since he lost his spiritual pressure, but something caught him from his thought`s an uneasy feeling that came when he was being watched, Ichigo stopped to look at whoever but just as he was about to turn everything went black, Ichigo heard something cracling but could not intercept the sound, was there lightning in the air? did it hit him was he dead? What a lousy way of dying, Ichigo thought, he heard words spoken more they seemed to echo from within his head but they where too blurry to make out.

Unable to really comprehend what had happened Ichigo felt a cold sting run trough his spine as if he was getting some bad vibes, he tried to force his eyes open but so far any attempt was unsucsessful, his breath was slow but steady, suddenly he felt a bit warmer as if brought inside moments later he could hear a familiar voice speak out, Orihime called out his name, as well as Urahara what does this mean? Ichigo wondered still unable to awaken.

(OOC: sorry crappy post =P btw im assuming Ichigo can see Urahara)

Kisuke was standing there and looked as ichigo started to wake up and see him and orihime just as he thought right when she came in Ichigo would wake up. in less then a blink of the eye Kisuke was in front of orihime with his blade drawn he strikes at her head on directly at her making him seem like he joined the other side. The red wave similar to the move ichigo had been hit by urahara so long ago went at her his eye showed no mercy he had both of them her he needed to get ichigo in a emotional state where he would gain his powers back.

Kisuke blinked a little at the thought of if ichigo got all his powers back then he might have to use bankai though no one knows what it is besides for himself and one other person know as tensai. He turned around and flashed stepped behind Orihime and tilted his hat forward getting serious. "Sorry Inoue -san no hard feeling." He said as he brought his blade up sending another red blast from behind. He left a opening for her to move to the right with little damage and the blast would cancel each other. He knew they would see this as a flaw from him.

((OOC: sorry that this is meh xD i got my copy of Dragon Age 2 today and im hooked on it :3 so i couldn't concentrate T^T))

Orihime barely had time to see Ichigo on the floor before she felt a presence in front of her, her eyes opened widely as she saw Urahara for but a brief moment before her. “Urahara?!” The presence soon moved to her back, she was unable to see him move which meant that he was using his flash step to move around. Orihime’s eyes were focused on the encroaching attack from her front as she heard Urahara speak from behind her, turning around she saw him once again as another attack hurtled her way. Acting in the only way she knew how Orihime leapt backwards, which considering she still had her side facing Urahara meant that she was leaping out of the way of both attacks. As she watched the attacks hit each other and cancel themselves out Orihime’s eyes widened and looked to Urahara confused, why did he just attack her? Through the adrenaline the attack had caused Orihime could still feel the confusion taking over, he was her friend so why would he try to hurt her?

Looking at him with her eyes full of expression and emotion Orihime’s tone was one of fright and confusion, “What ….Urahara why did you just…” Her gaze ventured over to Ichigo and she suddenly got a bad feeling, returning her gaze to Urahara she asked a question that who’s answer would determine a lot for her. “Did you…did you do that to Ichigo?”

OOC: well that`s all right, i would have been better however if i would have been informed of Tia`s decision before.

IC: Ichigo started to wake up as it had gotten rather noisy where ever he was, his eyes where blurrily looking at the ceiling where was he? judging that Inoue called out to Urahara it must have been at his place but how? it was not his doings was it? Ichigo slowly sat up and looked arund him only to see Inoue and Urahara acting rather weird, Ichigo was not entireley sure what was happening around him but he was certain that it was not a good thing.

His eyes looking wide at what Kisuke was doing he thought he was still dreaming he however did not think about it futher but leapt forward towards Urahara and grabbed onto his shirtwhat is the meaning of this? why are you attacking Inoue? it was you who knocked me unconcious and brought me here was it not? Ichigo gritted his teeth while he stared at Urahara with emotion and slight amount of sweat on his face.

Inoue are you all right? he asked still looking at Urahara awaiting his answer, depending on his answer it would be decided if he wanted to punch the man in the face or not. Ichigo knew that he could never take Urahara down in his current state, but he did not care about that right now the least he could do was to protect Inoue, what he did not understand was what Urahara was doing Ichigo had taken a note of his flaw which meant that he did that on purpose, which meant that he was not serious. Which in turn made him even more confused.

Kisuke blinked a little bit as orihime had dodged them and he was glad for those two attacks could probably have killed her the next movement was a surprise to him. Ichigo grabbed his shirt. And pulled him in close to each other he smiled slightly and tilted his hat forward and held a hand up. He was chanting something under his breath. The next thing ichigo would experience was a hard time moving and then dropping to the floor he turned back around to orihime and flash stepped behind her. Driving the sword a couple of millimeters away from her heart. To them it looked like he was striking right towards the heart.

He knew ichigo would be furious if his attack did land. But he needed ichigo to get his powers back. He looked down at the man he just put the spell on and sighed slightly to himself. It didn't please him to do this but to them he showed no emotion as his blade whistling through the air pointed at the few millimeters away from orihimes heart. He spoke aloud. "No hard feelings Inoue-san."

((OOC: I wasn’t sure what you meant in your pm reply urahara, do both? O.O so I wrote this post and it isn’t the best quality as I had to try and write it in like 10minutes due to a very busy day x.X))

Seeing Ichigo standing once more shocked Orihime but it also made her smile with relief, he was o.k and that was the most important thing. “Yes I’m O.K Ichigo” Just as she was about to ask him if he was indeed alright himself Orihime’s eyes widened again as she saw him falling to the ground. Running towards him in an effort to catch the falling Ichigo Orihime started to really worry, it was in her panic to get to him and help him that she left herself unknowingly open to another attack by Urahara. It was a mixture of her worry for Ichigo and her trust for Urahara and their friendship that clouded her instincts and made her leave herself vulnerable, deep down she didn’t see Urahara as a threat. She didn’t think that he was someone she had to defend herself against despite his previous attack on her just moments ago, that was Orihime for you. Some would say she was too trusting and too friendly but if she could not trust her friends then who could she trust?

Sensing Urahara’s presence flash step behind her once more and hearing him speak she turned around to face him, caught off guard and on bad footing Orihime was barely able to raise a shield before her to block the blade that Urahara was thrusting towards her heart. Send flying backwards by the attack as it knocked her off of her unstable footing Orihime landed hard upon the ground, stunned at the fact that Urahara had just tried to kill her yet again Orihime scrambled to her feet. Her eyes stared into her attackers as she desperately sought a reason for him to turn on her, what had she done to make him want to kill her? Why would he try to kill a friend? Many would prepare themselves for a fight, but Orihime had no intention of fighting her friend. She would not attack him, she would not hurt someone she called a friend. She would try to get through to him just as she had done when Rukia had turned on her, Urahara couldn’t have been himself either right? He wouldn’t attack her if he was would he…..

“Why are you….what are you doing?! What did you do to Ichigo!? Why are you doing this?! Answer me Urahara…please tell me why…”

Hearing a confirmed answer from Inoue made Ichigo a bit less tense altrough he was still confused about the deal with kisuke, though Ichigo did not have time to think before something struck him and he fell hard on the floor lying down his arms where forced on his back this must have been a kido that Kisuke used. Damn... you bastard! Inoue Nigete! (run) he forced himself slowly up to his knees and on his feet, but he could never fight like this at first he had felt drained by the kido but by his mere willpower he was able to stand up Hyaaaaaaaaaaaah! Ichigo yelled out in frustration, suddenly little by little the kido started to disenchant itself and break apart as he broke trough the seal completley releasing his arms from his back.

He was not even really thinking about it but picked up whatever he could find lying around which was a chair and he ran towards Kisuke in an attempt to hit him with it. Inoue Ichigo sounded worried in his tone of speech Inoue snap out of it! he aint our friend anymore! we need to... something pulled at him from the inside? his eyes widened as he stopped in his tracks, he heard his own heart beat? no that`s not it... what is... he could sense them... he could sense them all now. Loud and clear he could hear a heart beat but it was not his own. Aside from that was this kisuke`s doings?

Kisuke saw ichigo break from the kido he was glad he used a low level kido on him but then saw him freeze he knew that he was slowly gaining back his powers he appeared beside inoue and touched her forehead. A bright light appeared and then she would be sent back flying but in her world she was knocked out but yet her body looking to ichigo as if it was covered in blood and as if kisuke had shot a blast through her head but in reality he made it where she was just knocked out and a little cut on her forehead he turned back around to ichigo and pointed Benihime at him.

"No hard feelings Kurosaki san." He said walking closer tot he man it had been a while since he had fought ichigo but he needed him to ge this power sback and he knew that this emotional stress would certainly make ichigo remember his powers make him tap into to see orihime go flying like that to appear. Dead to him there was no heart beat but a faint one Kisuke knew that. He didn't kill her just put her in a half dead like trance.

(OOC: im sorry its so late and bad...and short but if you have read my absence thread you understand why hopefully))


Orihime looked to Ichigo as he told her to run, shaking her head she made it clear that she would not leave Ichigo alone while in such danger. Shocked to see Ichigo breaking the kido that Kisuke had used on him Orihime’s eyes widened and she started to slowly approach him, was Ichigo getting his powers back? “Ichigo ~” Cut off as a hand touched her forehead Orihime was sent flying backwards through the air and onto the hard ground below. She was knocked out by the force and suffered other injuries as a result of the hard fall to ground but Ichigo would see an illusion, a lifeless body lying in a pool of blood would be the image that layed out before him.

In her unconscious state Orihime could still hear what happening around her, she wanted to wake so badly….to help Ichigo. She wanted to protect him, to keep him from harm. As she heard Kisuke speak fear began to overwhelm her mind, was he truly going to fight Ichigo? Was Kisuke truly an enemy?

OOC: sorry having a writers block at the moment .___. sorry for making you guys wait and hold back on the event D= ill try to make something reasonable out of this post.

IC: "No hard feelings Kurosaki san." Ichigo had bareley enough time to understand what had happened before Inoue got hurt, no not just hurt but what seemed like a fatal blow to the head, Ichigo`s eyes widened the heart beat had stopped as something spoke into his head Ichigo... Ichigo... why is it raining? why is it so dark here? make it stop Ichigo, i cant stand the rain... a few tears appeared in his eyes as he bit his lip so it started to bleed... the tears however did not swell out from his eyes his hair covered his eyes now shrouding his eyes from view as he ran towards Inoue trying to catch her as she was still falling, but he was too far apart to reach out to her from where he stood.

She collapsed on the ground with blood practically everywhere Ichigo hurried to her side being a few seconds too late, the amount of spiritual pressure he could feel from Inoue decreased for the moment, his grip tightened around her as she was lying in his lap now, he punched his arm into the floor once, a few tears dropped on Inoue`s cheeks a sudden burst of spiritual pressure changed everything, Ichigo put Inoue down on the floor, he had checked for a pulse but he got barley anything out of it as his hands where shaking too much from all the blood...

He stood up and looked at Kisuke why? a moment passed, two moments passed and Ichigo gritted his teeth WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO IT? ichigo yelled out at kisuke as a cloud of spiritual pressure exploded covering him from any view, before Ichigo even realized it his body was lying next to Inoue`s and he had sheathed his Zanpakto and attacked Kisuke straight on with a multitude of fysical attacks cursing to himself as he fought...

(OOC: Kisuke pm'd me and asked me to post for him x.x i dont know what the heck is supposed to happen lol but i will just try to fill in for the week until he should be back. And i dont know what kisuke can do lol so excuse mistakes))

Flawless....that was the scene before Kisuke as he watched Ichigo run towards the falling Orihime. He could sense his tears welling within his eyes, he could hear practically hear the change in the teens heartbeat as he cradled the body of the innocent girl that had refused to fight her friend. Her body appearing to Ichigo to have been killed as blood pooled on his lap and flowed onto the ground below them both was losing traces of spiritual pressure quickly as she faded away. Watching and waiting for the sadness to transform itself into pure rage Kisuke smirked with a smug sense of himself and his plans as Ichigo's fist met the ground with force. There it was....the rage that this whole plan had been relying on appearing, as those tears that had welled in the teen's eyes finally fell to their resting place upon Orihime's bloodied face mixing with the crimson red and flowing from her skin to the ground where they would stay.

Kisuke readied himself as Ichigo stood with an aura of rage eminating from his body, his eyes were covered by his bangs but Kisuke could feel the murderous intent that they held within them. He remained silent with the usual calm and cocky aura in response to Ichigo's words, he could sense it and he knew that Ichigo was not far from that critical moment of emotion that would make this plan a success. Grinning from ear to ear as a strong burst of spiritual pressure exploded from Ichigo and as he watched the now almost dead body fall to the ground Kisuke could have exploded with satisfaction....others had said that it was crazy..that he was crazy ....but he knew his plan would work....they always worked...well somehow.

Matching the attack speed of which Ichigo flew at him unleashing a barrage of physical swings and strikes with his zanpaktou Kisuke couldn't hold back a chuckle, now he had to antagonise the teen and get those emotions past even their current point. He had to keep the emotions raging to fuel this transformation and he had to try and reach as much of that power as he could, "Come now Ichigo, you and i both know she was useless."

Cold....so cold. Orihime was fighting the effects of whatever it was that Urahara had used against her, she was fighting not to lose herself completely to the cold darkess that surrounded her. Sitting in the middle of the engulfing darkness she could not help but wonder if this was death? Tears began to form in her eyes as she thought about the fact she had just been betrayed and killed by a friend and that she was now unable to help the one person she wanted to do so for more than anything else...she was unable to aid Ichigo. Just before her tears broke the bounds of her eyes Orihime felt something....something warm, touching her hands to her upper arms she traced the area that she could feel the warmth upon. It almost felt like a hug, she was being held? Suddenly a droplet fell from the sky and landed upon her cheek, looking up in surprise Orihime's face was hit by several more droplets before she felt the warmth touch her neck. Reaching up to touch the area with her own hand she began to wonder what was going on, then as the warmth faded once more and she heard Ichigo's voice she knew...she knew what the warmth was and what the droplets falling from the sky represented.

Her tears began to speed up as she realised that Ichigo was crying for her, part of it made her happy that he cared enough to cry..but then again she never wanted to be the cause for tears to fall from his eyes. She never wanted to see him cry let alone because of her, sitting in the overwhelming dark again alone Orihime listened to Ichigo yell and to the words that Urahara spoke of her. The ground below her soon looked spotty as her tears stained the surface below her face.

OOC: O.o umm okay?



IC: As sadness turned to hatred, hatred turned to revenge, Ichigo had never been one for much of revenge really perhaps he was fighting for Inoue`s honor? for his honor? Ichigo did not care that his powers had returned and remained unfaced by that fact, Ichigo got perhaps careless but his fury was not quelled easily... Orihime was dead or dying and there was nothing else he could do rather than protect what little honor there was left in this fight... the thought about taking Inoue to a hospital with his newly aquired powers struck him at some point, but it was pointless now, he could feel it, Inoue was too far gone now, which fueled his rage even further.



As their blades collided sparks flew left and right, this was not a sparring match no they where both dead serious or at least Ichigo thought so, "Come now Ichigo, you and i both know she was useless." Useless?.... A deep silence broke between them the only noise that could be heard was the swords rubbing against each other Ichigo`s grip hardened around his Zanpakto, he held onto it with both hands now, it was in its shikai form, instead of the ordinary black reitsu this was blue in color it exploded again but this time it was not Ichigo but his Zanpakto that shot out a blue Getsuga tensho directed at Urahara at such a close range it exploded sending rocks flying in every direction causing a moderate crater where his technique hit Dont fuck with me!!! who are you to judge who is useless and who aint useless? where is the real Urahara kisuke i know what have you done with him? Ichigo panted slightly with an angry face glaring at Urahara...

OOC: also since no one said exactly where we are in Urahara`s shop im guessing this is in the training room so o.o deal with it!

(OOC: ahahahahah lol o.k in the training room we are xD I don’t even know if I am supposed to keep kisuke fighting ichigo or what the BLEEPIN heck I’m supposed to be doing…..@_@ ))

As Kisuke saw the blade of Ichigo’s shikai take form in front of his eyes he could have done a dance of joy at the fact his plan had worked so brilliantly, maybe too well…… Only just leaping out of the way of the Getsuga Tensho that had been sent towards him Kisuke tilted his head down to allow his precious hat to shelter his eyes from the dust and small chunks of debris that flew through the air, as the dust settled he looked to the large crater in the ground and began to think maybe just maybe he could see why the others had insisted his plan was crazy. He had expected the emotions caused by Orihime’s death to stir the powers that had hidden themselves so well away deep within Ichigo, but he had not planned on such a violent explosion of those same powers. This was surpassing his expectations, to have entered Shikai already with but a few words spoken ill of the girl and well yeah her ‘death’ of course had Kisuke stunned….truly stunned. He wasn’t worried for his life at this stage, good old Kisuke Urahara had enough strength and skill to keep Ichigo from slaughtering him even in his current state of rage, he was concerned for the fact that he had not anticipated this….he had not planned for this.

At this rate the risk of Ichigo losing himself was increasing, hiding his concerns behind his signature grin Kisuke adjusted his hat and returned Ichigo’s gaze. “Is it that I am different Ichigo? Or is that I am truly being myself?….think quick” As those last two words were uttered Kisuke shunpo’d towards Ichigo bringing his blade down vertically upon him as he reappeared, he would continue this habit of shunpoing, reappearing around Ichigo and attacking him for several blows before appearing over next to Orihime’s lifeless body looking down at her. He was merely checking the status of the technique he used upon her but of course Ichigo would not know that, what he would think….well not even Kisuke knew that.

Hearing the battle waging on but not being able to see it or to do anything was eating Orihime up as she sat on the ground and stared out into the darkness, she could feel both Urahara and Ichigo’s spiritual pressures waging against each other but she didn’t understand what was going on….why were they fighting and how had Ichigo gotten his powers back? Part of Orihime started to think that if her death meant that Ichigo could have his powers back and that he could return to seeing the friends he missed so much since the loss of those powers then maybe it wasn’t so bad. She had always been able to sense that Ichigo was depressed since the loss of his powers, he had tried to put on a brave face and façade for those around him but it could never fool her. She had tried to cheer him up so many times, she had tried to become the close friend that she thought he missed in Rukia….she failed at that miserably. If this meant that Ichigo would be happy again, that he would have the friends he missed and the powers that he longed to use once more then she wasn’t sad to leave.

Of course she would miss everyone like crazy, especially Ichigo and Tatsuki and….tears started to fall once more as she realised that even for such a cause there was still part of her that didn’t want to die….that didn’t want to leave everyone behind.

OOC: xD Well when is Urahara coming back?

IC: Ichigo pulled up his Zanpakto from where Urahara had stood moment`s before the impact, he figured, Urahara was strong after all, Ichigo`s eyes widened momentarily when Urahara replied, Ichigo however had no time to reply before he came, hes coming he thought as he was prepared to fend Urahara off on his own, altrough to him it seemed like Urahara was seriously fighting him Ichigo took note that Urhara had hesitated to attack his vital organs, even if Ichigo had been able to block/parry most attacks however there where a few small moves that he had failed to foresee, perhaps Ichigo noticed that Urahara was not taking him seriously after all? he was toying with him once Urahara was done he appeared next to Inoue, for what reason Ichigo did not know Do you even understand what you are saying?!? You sound just like him! Ichigo gritted his teeth and used flashsteo to appear right in front of Urahara he attempted to to make some room between Inoue and Urahara so that her body would not come to futher harm.

step away from her! but Kisuke easily kicked Ichigo into his chest sending him flying back, Ichigo lied there on the rough ground for a moment before he crawled up again trying to find a steady footing, he took support from his Zanpakto to get up on his feet, he went back into a fighting stance tightening his grip of the Zanpakto now his arm was bleeding, shaking, he panted like a bitch as he gazed at Urahara his eye sight started to drift and get slightly blurred as he no longer could see all too well, his spiritual level was rising above kisuke`s momentarily before it lowered, it was acting that way when it was not in balance, Ichigo could hardly even move anymore he cursed and right after that he took a step forward he started to fall face first into the ground....

About ten seconds later Ichigo`s finger twiched once, the arm soon digged each finger into the rough ground clawing at it slightly... something new was up.

((OOC: sorry for the delay, I was also hoping Kisuke would be back x.x but well anyway I will keep posting I suppose. Also I don’t know who you mean when you say “you sound just like him” so I kind of don’t write anything for that part xD and i feel i must apologise for the quality of these posts x.x i am so out of muse lately))

Sensing something disturbing as he stood over Orihime Kisuke began to worry, it seemed that perhaps it wouldn’t be Ichigo that ruined his plan after all. Suddenly he was forced to counter an attack by Ichigo as he tried to protect his fallen friend from being harmed further, a sturdy kick to the teen’s chest sent him flying back onto the hard ground. If there was something he had to say about these two teen’s it was that they were strong of will, watching as Ichigo raised himself from the ground with the aid of his Zanpaktou he could see that something was not quite right…..Was Ichigo truly in risk of losing himself?

As a flare of spiritual energy made Kisuke raise his eyebrows, preparing himself as Ichigo went to step towards him the former shinigami was surprised as the teen face planted into the dirt ground. Carefully approaching the teen Kisuke began to worry, he had not wanted Ichigo to lose himself nor had he ever planned on his reaction to this whole thing being quite so severe. Readying himself with each step he took towards Ichigo Kisuke was ready to act should the time arise, but he was hoping that it was not too late to bring him back. “Losing to it huh? Pathetic”

“Get up you useless sook, stop crying and get off your ass” Orihime’s eyes widened as a voice spoke to her, it was not only what the voice said but the voice itself…..it was hers. Slowly turning her head to her right in the direction of the voice she froze at the sight before her, looking into your own eyes truly had a disorientating effect. Slowly reaching out as if to touch the surface of a mirror Orihime quickly retracted her hand as the figure didn’t move in synch with her, “Geeze, are you just going to stare at me all day? I said get up!” For some reason she found herself doing as the figure before her ordered her to as she stood slowly Orihime and took a step backwards. “Who are you?” Rolling it’s eyes and sighing the figure turned starting to walk away in response to Orihime’s words. “WAIT!” Running after the almost ghostly apparition of herself Orihime ventured into the blackness that was the world she found herself in.

(OOC:You did well Light chan but i will take over for you now ^_^)

Kisuke sat there starring at him as the finger twitched and the ground started to go under his nails. He sighed slightly. “Ichigo you’re a fool for giving in so easily. If you truly wanted to protect her do it with your own might. Not that of a hollow!” He said yelling trying to get it through his thick head. He held his fist clenched for a minute on benihime. He looked over at Orihime and picked her body up moving it carefully and setting it down he turned back around to the Hollow Ichigo standing up he flash stepped back over to where he was originally. He starred at him. “Well its good to know he has his powers back. But for him to use it now might be a problem especially if I have to protect Inoue-san.” He turned his attention back at ichigo for a minute studying.

“Alright then don’t hold back.” He said as he moved his sword. The sword changed and turned into its shikai state as he starred at Ichigo. He knew that this wasn’t going to be easy. But he needed to stop the hollow attack long enough for ichigo to regain control. Though he knew that he wouldn’t have ichigos full power back to normal it did please him to know that ichigo still had some left in him. He thought for a moment and smiled. Maybe with enough training that there might be a way to get Ichigos normal power back. But at the same time it would be different from last time considering that he hadn’t been the one to know the exact details. Kurosaki did find out last time with a little help. But this time to get his true power he would have to do it without anyone.

Kisuke started to walk forwards towards the hollow ichigo with a calmed expression on his face. IT was time that he got serious. If he didn’t Inoue-san could get hurt pretty bad. He turned his head back towards her. And spoke under his breath. “Sorry to get you in this mess.” He turned back around and started to think a strategy against this man. He knew that it wouldn’t end well if he didn’t take care of it and Inoue. He then thought for a split second. It seemed he was going to have to take the defense routine. He needed to stand between the hollow ichigo and Inoue-san. He thought for a minute hopefully Ichigo wouldn’t take to long he didn’t want to risk hurting him. He looked around at the surroundings trying to think of possible ways to get them away from the girls body. Either way it was going to be hard.

But it seems that his attention is on me for the moment with how much hate he has and how it might seem a bit different from most. He needed that hate to fuel Ichigos power back to life. Those Emotions are what was going to give Kurosaki-san his powers back. But if he screwed up while trying to help then there would be a waste of time and Kurosaki could be in grave danger. He looked back over at Inoue-san. He said something under his breath putting a barrier in front of her. It would take a great deal of damage to break that barrier. And he couldn’t allow that too happen. But now….. now it was time to pay attention to the real deal in front of him. He had to hold him off without causing damage to the body. Or it could severally weaken Kurosaki.

OOC: what i meant with: Do you even understand what you are saying?!? You sound just like him! i was reffering to Aizen, i thought it made sense but guess not huh? xD

Edited: sorry i edited the post a bit hopefully its not too confusing O.o

IC: Inner world: Ichigo stared at the sky when he opened his eyes, he blinked and wondered if he was seeing things the sky was pouring down with rain, already had a lot of the water massed and covered all but the highest tops of the buildings. and he stood on top of one, he realized he was in his inner world, but something was off he could not sense Zangetsu anywhere, he checked his blade which was sheathed on his back and covered in bandages...

Then Ichigo sensed a strong being his eyes widened before he even looked at the man behind him Yo! long time no see king!! the man spat out the words from its mouth with disgust... the constant downpour made him soaked wet you! what do you want? i thought i cleared everything up when i beated you both last time we fought!?! where is Zangetsu? That was then and this is now... im going to take back what is right fully mine Ichigo and there is not a fuck you can do about it! i thought i told you... Im Zangetsu! the man whom Ichigo knew only as his hollow self or Hollow Ichigo, drew his Zanpakto unwrapping the bandages around it, Ichigo took a fighting stance and did the same, they looked almost alike except for their colors Ichigo`s hair was orange while his hollow self`s was pure white, white was also his shinigami robe which reminded Ichigo of more arrancar`s than shinigami due to the color also Zangetsu`s color was swapped so it was white on the peak and dull side and black on the lower bottom as opposed to Ichigo`s Zanpakto, as their swords clashed one could tell who had the upper hand while Ichigo struggled to defend himself his hollow self stood on the offensive relentlessly attacking Ichigo with a much more fierce fighting capabilities...

Soon enough Ichigo lost his ground and was thrown into the black waves. Ichigo felt his body dragged down into the depth`s as he drew his last breath? no he could breath underwater there was still hope...

The darkness engulfed Ichigo`s body, Shirosaki looked up to the lightning sky crumbling down on him he grinned madly and yelled A new king has arisen!! I will bring down every living thing that stands in my way!!! you hear that Ichigo!!! im gonna fucking kill all your friends and have bacon and eggs every morning between killing and school! (insert maniacal laughter here) he pointed his blade into the sky as a sign of victory.... when the lightning struck down and caught a grip of his blade, his grin only widening he yelled lets go!!!



Back in real world: Ichigo stood up he looked normal aside for a mask on his face, but his spiritual pressure said otherwise, a powerful pulse of wind shot out around him whipping up sand and dust all around him, he pointed his sword upwards building up an enourmous amount of spiritual energy to the point where it became visible to the naked eye, and it was white in color and more deadly than ever... the blade was pulled down in an instant smashing everything in its way causing a deep ravine in the middle of the field, the ground shaking like during a earthquake the powerful energy blasting towards kisuke and due to him standing before Inoue a good distance away it would be uncertain if this barrier could hold out the attack.

ah... he is pathetic aint he, unlike me that is.... he said with a vizards voice due to the mask, the mask was something else than what Urahara had ever seen, it was not just the colors but also the style, it was far more intimidating than the masks before, its two horns coming from the rear only making it look more menacing than before... the pieces of the mask started to fall off one of the horns fell of first then one of the lower pieces revealing his mouth and the insane grin imprinted on it, soon the rest of the mask fell off and he redied himself for another assault after the dust had cleared out.

.... haha! so this is blood? this is the sky? Is this the world? his face looked up and he must have realized that they where holed up underground due to the looks on this place... Ichigo thought what did it matter anymore Inoue was dead and there was nothing he could do to reverse that from happening, it did not mean he had given up, but there was this doubt in him that stopped him from moving on, am i this weak? i can`t do anything on my own im depending on everyone, they have faith in me im not, im not going to give up... its so cold, am i dying? i can`t die... not now i still... i still have things i want to do, i have friends that trust me, i... i trust you Inoue your not dead after all are you?! please answer me... because i... i

Something started to fight back an inner battle, but would he make it fast enough? Suddenly he started to step back a bit, hollow Ichigo staggered his movement`s became dull he pulled his arm up to his face No! its impossible, stop it your going to kill us both.... UUaaaaargh Ichigo`s blade started to protrude from its original form while Ichigo himself started to vibrate left and right almost as if struggling to hold two souls in one body, he smashed the blade into the ground releasing all the pressure creating an even bigger crack in the ground that reached at least 50 feet in two directions then everything turned normal, Ichigo panted like a bitch holding himself up by leaning against the blade... he did not even have the strenght to pull it loose but fell asleep on the spot while still leaning against the blade...
