Bleach: A New life
Chapter 12: Light vs Darkness


“So mind explaining Ryu-kun? What happened?” Chiaki questioned her childhood friend as they walked in circles around the war room. Yamamoto had been dragged back to the side to stay out of the soon to be fighting combatants.

“Whatever are you talking about Chi-chan?” he asked innocently as he twirled the giant dark weapon like a baton through his fingers.

“You know what I’m talking about. You abandoned me a year after I entered the Kagayaki clan! Ryu-kun said he was going to be with me forever, but instead you left without a word!” she screamed at him with tears coming into focus.

“Well there were several reasons for that. But unfortunately I don’t have the time to tell you them all except that one was to become more powerful by entering the academy. Which I did.”

“Nani? But what our promise to go together and become partners?” she choked out. It appeared that Kuroryu’s little ability had begun to work on her to some extent.

“Tch, a promise is simply words. Besides I didn’t have time to wait for you to grow up. But it seems that bitch Homura did that just fine.”

“So you’re complimenting that hag now? When we were kids you said you hated her!”

“Oh I did, do…did, it matters not she’s dead now. But I do admit I do not agree with what she did do to you. Experimenting on you and the other things, yet I’m afraid I’ve grown weary of this talking.” he spoke as he stopped twirling the scythe and took a stance.

“Wait. I do want to know one last thing.” she cried out before he attacked.

“What?” came his now growing irritated voice.

“You’ve changed. Your personality, you’re beliefs…everything. What’s made you this way!?”

“Indeed boy. I know when you were growing up you cared about everything and everyone.” shouted Yamamoto from the side lines after regaining some strength.

“Tch. As if I need to explain myself any further. Now Chi-chan, can you release your zanpaktou, so I can get on with killing the old man.”

“Fine. But you won’t be killing anyone tonight!” yelled the black haired girl to her former friend. She then placed the silver blade on her palm once more and shouted its commands as she sliced her hand open.

The room was immediately filled with the same blinding light that mesmerized the hollows earlier. Yet this time it wasn’t as bright. When it died down Chiaki stood there with her hollow mask once more applied to her face, and clutching a sword that looked like a lightning bolt.

But despite her increase in power, if you looked close enough you could tell she was breathing heavily. It was apparent to some that the attack she used earlier to eliminate the hollows earlier had put serious stress on her. Nevertheless she stood her ground.

“Hmm? So you’re a vizard? Well this is unexpected… However this will give me more of a challenge.” the wielder of the dark zanpaktou said with psychotic glee in his eyes.

Ryudo then lifted the over sized scythe over his head and charged at the daughter of Byakuya and Hisana. When he was nearly five feet from her, he jumped into the air. He spun tucked in forward several times before he brought the black blade down upon her. But just in time she raised her blade and blocked the attack with flat side of her blade. Sparks flew as Ryudo continued to push down trying to break her defense.

Chiaki however refused to be taken down in one move. She pushed as hard as she could and launched Ryudo backwards. This time she charged at him. She slashed and thrust her blade at him so fast that it would almost look like a blur to those whose eyes were untrained to see such speed.  Ryudo however did have those eyes and easily fended off her relentless attack.

Unfortunately he saw how she was rushing with her attacks. She was tired and wanted to end the fight as quickly as she could. He smirked at this realization, and just let her attack as he continued to block her attacks.

---------------

Within in her mind Chiaki was debating her tactics with Ikaihc and Hikari Ki.

‘Chiaki-chan, can’t you see he’s playing with you?' scolded Hikari Ki

‘She’s right. You should have thought this put better! You’re still too tired from that attack! Thirty minutes isn’t enough rest time! You’re putting too much stress on your body!' yelled the black and white version Chiaki to her “Queen”.

‘I know but I just have to beat him.’ panted Chiaki. Even in her mind she was growing unbelievably tired.

‘Why?!?’ shouted the dragon and hollow together.

‘Because he’s my friend and I know he doesn’t want to fight. Ryudo was never like this. I know something happened to him! I know I can bring him back. That’s why I have to fight him.’

‘How do you know he doesn’t want to fight?’ questioned the angelic reptile.

‘She has a point Chiaki-chan. People change. Like me, when I first met you I was always trying to take over. But over time you opened up to me and well here I Am.’ softly spoke the hollow.

‘I know but…but when I looked in his eyes, that evil. It…it wasn’t his!’ Chiaki screamed back to her friends.

‘What do you mean?’ inquired Ikaihc

‘That hatred, that evil…I just know Ryudo-kun could never have such a deep feeling of it. Instead it felt like it was coming from somewhere else. In fact it felt like a mix between two things.’ explained a frantic Kuchiki.

‘What did this evil feel like’ asked the dragon.

‘It was pure evil…pure, unadulterated and it felt like no hope would ever remain in this world.’

‘Oh Kami no…Chiaki-chan what was the name of his Zanpaktou!?!’

'Uggh…Kuroryu.’

‘Fuck!!!!!’ screamed the dragon.

‘What’s the matter Hikari Ki?’

‘Kuroryu…along with me and Ryūjin Jakka, he is one of the three original and most powerful Zanpaktou’s. He’s the physical incarnation of all the evil in the universe. You were right Chiaki-chan, this isn’t Ryudo’s doing. Kuroryu chooses the most kind hearted people as his host, then takes them over. And as a bonus he creates them into vizards.’

‘No.’ gasped Chiaki.

‘I’m afraid the only way to defeat him is….with “It”.’ sighed Hikari Ki.

‘But I thought you said…’ began Chiaki.

‘I know what I said…but that was before I knew it was him. We have to use it Chiaki.’ said the glowing dragon.

‘Understood.’        

---------------

Outside, in the midst of her duel, Chiaki had several cuts over her body now. Her mask was partially cracked. Ryudo however merely had a cut on his sleeve and a scratch across his face.

The possessed man began his charge at his friend once more and nearly decapitated her if she had not raised her blade to block it in time. However her reaction was so slow that she didn’t have time to brace herself for the blunt of the attack, as such she was thrown back into a far wall.

“Tch, is that really all the daughter of Kuchiki Byakuya has to offer?” mocked the zanpaktou through his host. “Come on Chi-chan I though…”

“Don’t you dare call me that! Only Ryu-kun, Kaa-san and Out-san are allowed to call me that.” shouted Chiaki as she pulled herself out of the wall. Those set of words gained confusion from the onlookers.

“What are you talking about? I am your Ryu-kun.” said the purple eyed man innocently.

“Bullshit. I know the truth now, why don’t you tell the others Kuroryu!”

The trench coat wearing man eyes grew wide in surprise. Then they instantly grew narrow in rage.

“He…hehehehe…BWAHAHAHA!!! So you actually figured it out? I’m impressed. No wait did Hikari Ki rat me out?” laughed psychotically Zanpaktou. Everyone else couldn’t believe what they were hearing; a zanpaktou had possessed its own wielder.

“Yamamoto-sotaico is that even possible?” asked a shocked Kira.

“Indeed it is, well at least with zanpaktou. I thought it looked and sounded familiar.” answered the old man.

“What do you mean?” inquired Ukitake.

“I’ll explain latter…but I fell like this fight is about to escalate.”

Yamamoto was right. Both combatants had gained a new stance. Reiatsu began pouring out of them so much that it filled the room with in nanoseconds. The energy was heavy that the floor boards began to crack, some of the support beams snapped in twine, and all the lieutenants were thrown to the floor unconscious, as was Chad, Uryu and Lilenette. Ichigo was hanging on but you could tell he was somewhat struggling as was everyone else.

It was then both fighters moved. Chiaki slammed her sword in the ground and then clapped her hands together in some kind of prayer. Ryudo threw his scythe in the air, caught it and began spinning it around his head so fast that it became somewhat of a vacuum.

They then both shouted the words that would change the course of the battle.

“BANKAI!!!”

---------------

Hisana sat in the inn that had been her and Chiaki’s home for many years before the Kagayaki changed all that. The inn keeper was shocked and overjoyed to see her again when he opened after she had pounded on it. He took her to her and Chiaki’s old room. She sat in her bed and looked outside towards the Seireitei. The columns of flames had died down, but what really interested her was the giant lighting storm that had appeared thirty minutes earlier.

“Could that really have been Chiaki-chan?” the black haired women mumbled to herself.

As soon as finished that statement, a massive rumbling was heard and felt throughout the whole Soul Society. Hisana looked back to the Seireitei, and saw beams of beams of light and darkness shooting out of the Castle on the hill.

Hisana’s eyes grew wide at this. Seconds later the main keep of the fortress exploded in a massive fire ball. Smoke quickly followed the flames into the sky and became the more dominant. Hisana then gasped as two large serpent like creatures emerged from the smoke. One was bright as the sun and the other seemed to make the night sky move.  

‘What’s going on over there!?’ she cried in her head. She feared for the lives of everyone there, but mostly for her husband and daughter.

---------------

Back at the now destroyed castle, everyone who had not been knocked unconscious by the reiatsu explosion looked up through the smoke to see something truly transdementional.

Above them was a bright golden dragon with sapphire eyes. Its scales looked as if they had each been carved single handily from a block of gold. The horns atop the beast’s head appeared to be made of pure bronze and its teeth, shaped from true diamonds. The dragon itself was the length of at least two foot ball fields.

But what mostly stood out was what stood atop its head. Clutching a small dagger in the shape of lightning bolt stood Chiaki. However there was great difference in her attire and appearance. Her hollow mask was completely gone, including the dark eyes. All her cuts and wounds were gone and not a single drop of blood was on her. Her shihaksho had been replaced by flowing white robes and gold trimmings. Her hair despite being black had returned to its natural brown but a much lighter shade. And upon her back made of pure golden reiatsu were a pair of magnificently beautiful wings.

Yet these were different from any wings any one’s bankai bestowed on anyone. No the one’s looked as if they really were angel wings. The wings had feathers made reiatsu and flapped beautifully. Kuchiki Chiaki had become an angelic shingami.

“Kaze Kami-Hikari ki.” were then words that escaped the angelic Kuchiki’s mouth. Yet this time her voice now truly sounded like that of an angel’s.

Byakuya had nearly died. His daughter had truly become an angel. But that was the tip of the iceberg. She was one of the youngest shinigami next Ichigo and Hitsugaiya. And yet like both of them she had attained banki. To say he was proad and speechless would be an understatement. Rukia may hold the most beautiful zanpaktou, but this was without a doubt the most beautiful bankai anyone had ever seen.

But this moment gawking and peace was short lived as the smoke gave way and showed another sight.

Floating in the sky was another dragon. This one however was pure black. It had no scales but instead looked as if it was born of hot liquid tar. Its eyes were as red as the fires of hell. The horns looked as if thousands of human bones had been melted together into the demonic horns. Atop this dragons head instead of an angel, stood a demon, Ryudo’s possessed body had also undergone changes. His shihaksho had disappeared as had his scarf and was now replaced with black demonic looking samurai armor, atop that was the same black trench coat. His sandals had been replaced by boots similar to the arrancars. His black pants had also been tucked into them.

Covering the man’s face was not a hollow mask, but instead a hollow helmet. Its cranium shape was that in the form of a samurai’s helmet. Its crest was pentacle and covering his mouth instead of teeth, was pure white bone with four black slits in it. His eyes were now black. But instead of yellow iris, his had gone red.  

The one thing that did remain the same was the dark and monstrous scythe that he held in his gloved hands.  He twirled it in his hand once more, while tilting his head as he looked at the angel-like girl in front of him.

“Well you continue to shock me girl. But your no match for, Kuroryu no Jikan.” said Ryudo, now with a voice of a demon’s.

“Glad I can entertain.” she replied back.

“I find this a bit cliché though.” he jested to her.

“Come again?”

“Come on. The ultimate light zanpaktou vs the ultimarte evil one? Isn’t it a bit too ironic?”

“Does it look like I really care? All I care about is destroying you and getting Ryu-kun back!” yelled Chiaki. She then pointed the dagger at her enemy and the glowing dragon sprang forward thought the air. Ryudo did the same with his scythe and the tar like creature soared forward.

The dragons grappled their front arms together and began to intertwine. The wrestled through the sky both spewing fire from their maws. Bluish-white from Chiaki’s. Blackish-purple, red from Ryudo’s. Atop their heads however Chiaki battled with her holy dagger against Ryudo’s hellish scythe. As they clashed it seem as if the space around them began to warp. The two friends fought back and forth, and it looked like neither one would ever gain the upper hand. The dragons were also appeared to be on evil terms. They’re wrestling soon stooped in the air and the four of them all crashed down into the city below the hill.

Their crash destroyed many buildings and caused many injuries. The dragon’s continued to spew flames from their maws. The flames of both landed on rooftops and quickly spread. Chiaki’s dragon however instead of continuing its fight turned to see it Chiaki had been hurt from the fall. But found that Chiaki’s wings had protected her from the fall. This move on the light dragon’s part though noble, was major mistake. The dark dragon being Kuroryu himself did not have the same honor as Hikari Ki. It lunged out and bit into the neck of the golden dragon.

Chiaki gapped in horror as blood spewed from the inside of Kuroryu’s mouth as he bit down harder of Hikair Ki. Hikari roared out in pain and tried to scramble, scurry, struggle anyway to get out of the unimaginable pain that Kuroryu was bringing down on her.

“Sto-stop. STOP IT!!!” screamed Chiaki taking flight with her wings and soared straight for the evil dragons head. She flies right into the creatures head and jams her dagger as deep as she can into the evil spirits skull.

Kuroryu instantly releases his clamp on the heavenly dragon. He screams in pain as Hikari did only moments ago, He slashes at the top of his head viciously trying to remove the unyielding women from his head.

“How dare you hurt her!!!” Chiaki cries as she removes the dagger form the skull of the dragon. She then forces it down into the shadowy flesh of the beast once more.

As she raises the dagger for a third strike, the possessed body of Ryudo removes itself from a pile of rubble he had been covered in. He instantly gains sight of Chiaki and gains grip on his bony scythe. His booted feet throw his body of the ground and with shunpo speed appears behind his angelic friend.

Chiaki too drowned in bloodlust for her friend, fails to notice the black serrated blade fall down upon her. That is until she felt it rip through the flesh of her left arm.

“AAAAAGGGHHHH!!!! SHIT!! FUCK!!!!AGGGHHH!!!!”  she screams at the top of her angelic lungs as her left arm fell to the ground right next her. Her mind grows fuzzy as the pain takes over. But in alast ditch effort she sores once more back into the sky.            

“Well little Chikai. This has been a fun game and all but I honestly think it’s time we ended all this?” asked heavy breathing Ryudo. Chiaki used what will she had left to overcome the titan amount of pain and speak back to the evil zanpaktou.

“Tch. L-Looks like me a-and you can actually can agree on something.” she stuttered through the pain.

Hikari hearing this, regained consciousness and flew up behind her wielder. Kuroryu did the same and flew up behind his psychical form.

Both wielders and dragons began to pour both what reiatsu they had left into one final attack. Chiaki’s wings began to disintegrate into particles that soon were collected into a blue ball of destructive energy that had begun to take shape in the dragon’s maw. For Ryudo however his helmet and mask went into the blackish-purple, red ball of evil that formed in the shadow dragon’s sickening mouth.

The conscious ones in the ruins of the castle couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The only thing that could ever match what they were seeing was the final battle with Aizen.

Byakuya was shaking fiercely. His daughter had had her arm sliced off and was still going through with this final attack. He was being torn up inside. Be a father and save his only daughter from imminent death and damage her pride. Or be a shingami and let her keep her pride intact as she died. He was about to lose it all, but before he could do anything…both dragons fired their attacks.

“KAMI’S DIVINE POWER!!!!” screamed Chiaki as the Blueish-white beam of destructive energy left Hikari’s mouth and shot towards Ryudo and Kuroryu.

“JIKAN’S KURO CERO!!!” cried Kuroryu through Ryudo’s exposed lips as the evil beam soared at the blue one.

When they collided, time seemed to stop for nearly a whole minute. Then it happened, the collision of the two beams created a dome of pure energy that grew immensely destroying everything within a quarter of a mile. It only stopped because the two beams were being released by the dragons.

Neither one seemed to be lacking in strength as the dragons continued to fire. Chiaki and Ryudo were putting in all they had into this final attack. Byakuya saw this and decided to give his daughter an extra push if it meant she could live. He knew sometimes words could change the course of a battle.

“Chiaki-chan!!! You can do it! You are a Kuchiki!!” he yelled out her. When these words reached her ears, tears formed in her eyes. Soon more cheering could be heard as the other captains cheered her on. Chiaki’s resolve was now at its peak, and she felt as if a new wave of reiatsu flowed over her. She then poured herself further into her attack. The beam grew stronger and soon over took the evil one.

Kuroryu was struck in awe as his cero was overcome. He then began to panic and tried to pour more of his own self into his attack but it failed miserably as the holy beam still continued to overpower the hellish one. And in that panic he lost control of Ryudo.

Ryudo staggered around he finally became free of the zanpaktou. But when he saw the beam rush straight towards him and the dragon he stood upon all he could do was stand upon the shadowy creatures head as the beam engulfed both of them.

After the beam struck them both, it was soon followed by a massive explosion that sent massive shockwaves throughout the Seireitei. Chiaki and Hikari were thrown back by the shockwaves into the ground. After the skidded to a halt, the bankai dissipated leaving Chiaki once again in her normal appearance. She had shihaksho once more and black hair, but her left arm was still gone.

Byakuya saw this and shunpoed down to help her. As he did this the others were too preoccupied staring at were the explosion had been. As the smoke cleared from the area of the attack, two things fell from the sky and landed right next to Chiaki.

When Byakuya arrived to where his daughter had fallen he noticed the clothes tattered body of Ryudo and scorched sealed version Kuroryu. But he paid no attention to them. He rushed over to Chiaki’s apparent lifeless body. He instantly took her up in his arms and cradeled her closed eyed form.

“Pl…Please wake Chiaki-chan. I’m begging you please.” he whispered into her ear as he was on the verge of tears. He waited for some kind of response to see if she was alright. He waited and waited for nearly ten minutes. And in that time, the others arrived.

Byakuya started to cry believing she was gone. But when a tear fell on her face and he stroked it away, she began to stir. Byakuya’s eyes filled with hope as she moved around a little more. Moments later her eyes opened. And Byakuya embraced her tightly.

“Thank Kami..Thank Kami!” he said over and over again. Chiaki was a little shocked but didn’t mind and embraced him right back.

At the same time some of the others went to check on the newly freed Ryudo. Zaraki went to pick Kuroryu but as he touched it, the entire blade instantly turned to ash and blew away. The evilest blade in the soul society was gone.

Unohana however was checking the vital signs of Ryudo. As she did her face grew worried.

“Someone get me a stretcher! I don’t have my zanpaktou with me!” she cried out to the others.

“What’s wrong taicho?” asked the now conscious Isane.

“His vital signs. Their nearly gone! We need to get him to the ER station.”

When Chiaki heard this her face grew worried. She had nearly forgotten that her left arm was gone. Chiaki didn’t want to push her father away but had to. She got up and rushed over to her dying friend.

“R-Ryu-kun. Ryu-kun. Please….”

“His heart’s failing!!!” cried Unohana as she tried to heal him.

“RYUDO-KUN!!!!”

damn,this sounds too epic to be a fan fic,it sounds like the next arc following the Arrancar saga.

“Come on. The ultimate light zanpaktou vs the ultimarte evil one? Isn’t it a bit too ironic?”

indeed it is,it is beyond epic.
