Reborn in bleach as a hollow with a system

37 – Taken

Ichigo gets up and slashes Renji across the chin just barely scratching him.

"I know you were talking, but you were so wide open. I couldn't help it, but why don't you continue? You were talking about not even being able to scratch you?" Ichigo said.

"You were off guard, Renji." the silent Byakuya suddenly chimes in.

"Captain Kuchiki?" Renji asks.

"That kid looks familiar. There was a report the other day. He managed to seriously injure a Menos Grande and force it back to Hueco Mundo."

Renji laughs out loud.

"This kid beat back a Menos Grande? Who'd believe that!" he questions.

"I mean just look at his zanpakuto. It's so big and useless. It's obvious he hasn't mastered his spirit power!" he says with a sneer.

"Do you even know your zanpakuto's name?" he asks Ichigo.

"Name? Do you name all your swords?" he asks.

"He doesn't even know his zanpakuto's name. And you believe you can fight me? You're 2000 years too early." Renji says.

"Howl, Zabimaru!" Renji yells as he runs his hand across the blade transforming it into a straight sword with metal teeth running along the back.

He swings the transformed blade down on Ichigo, but halfway into his swing it splits into segments becoming a sword whip instead which passed by Ichigo's zanpakuto and pierces into his shoulder causing him to drop the zanpakuto. Slowly Renji tears his zanpakuto out one tooth at a time nearly tearing off Ichigo's arm.

Ichigo falls to his knees holding his immobile arm bleeding profusely.

"It's over brat! It's time to get going." Renji yells.

Renji dashes towards Ichigo to give him the finishing blow, meanwhile Rukia breaks out of her stupor and dashes towards them leaping onto Renji's back while grabbing his arm holding the zanpakuto.

"Run Ichigo!" she screams at him.

Ichigo picks his zanpakuto back up instead though.

"Oh, you can still move?" Renji asks him while still struggling against Rukia.

He finally manages to shake off Rukia.

"Well, struggle and die." he says with excitement.

Suddenly the spirit power starts gathering around the barely conscious Ichigo forcing Renji to take a step back from the spirit pressure.

Ichigo suddenly looks up at him his eyes barely conscious before leaping at Renji and slashing him across the shoulder before turning around and dashing at him again before Renji can even react. Ichigo sends another upward slash at him which he barely manages to dodge as it grazes his forehead splitting his sensory goggles in two down the middle.

Ichigo got his shonen power up and started swinging wildly at Renji forcing him into a corner without being able to respond aside from dodging and parrying his furious blows. Finally falls to his knees and Ichigo leaps in for the final blow.

Even expecting what was coming Hisashi with his improved dexterity and intelligence could only barely see Byakuya moving towards Ichigo breaking the blade off his zanpakuto and returning to his previous spot blade in hand. The others hadn't even noticed it yet.

Ichigo finally realised that something broke his blade turning to look at Byakuya only to notice his blade in Byakuya's hands. Byakuya drops Ichigo's blade and puts his hand on his sword. Before Ichigo even notices he has already approached him and stabbed him twice.

Hisashi was making sure to pay close attention to every move Byakuya made as it would be invaluable to see his Hohō and swordsmanship for when he gets a humanoid form himself again down the line and analysing it with his current intelligence was very much possible.

Renji and Rukia are in shock also only barely realising what happened.

"What's the matter Renji?" Byakuya asked him.

"N-nothing. You didn't need to step in captain." Renji answers in embarrassment.

"If I just watched I'd get rusty." Byakuya answers nonchalantly.

"Ichigo!" Rukia screams running towards him. On her way she is blocked by Renji though.

"Let go Renji!" she shouts at him.

"Look the kids dead! Interfering now will only extend your sentence!" he shouts back at her.

"It's my fault he died! So what's wrong in following him?" she yells at him in pain.

"You can't stay away from him?" Byakuya asks her.

"Brother..." Rukia said unable to give him an answer.

"He looks a lot like him." Byakuya tells her.

Ichigo grabs the hem of Byakuya's pants.

"I'm not dead yet." he struggles.

Rukia realising that if he keeps struggling against her brother it will be his death runs up to them and kicks Ichigo's hand away.

"What are you doing Rukia?" Ichigo asks her indignantly.

"You're just a human. How dare you grab brother like that? Know your place." she tells him.

"Let's go back brother. I will atone for my sins. There's no need to finish him off, just leave him to die." she says to Byakuya before walking off determinedly with tears in her eyes.

"Fine, I've already shattered his Chain of Fate and Soul Sleep. He will be dead soon and even if he survives he will never be able to use his power again." Byakuya responds.

Renji opens a senkaimon and the three walk off into the portal together leaving Ichigo alone to bleed out onto the pavement.

"Hmm" Byakuya looks back his gaze passing around the area where Hisashi was camouflaged, but then shakes his head and turns around leaving through the senkaimon which closes behind him.

A few moments later the blonde homeless looking guy in green Urahara Kisuke shows up and picks up Ichigo and Uryu taking them away.

Hisashi lets out a long drawn out sigh.

'Thank god that's all over and nothing went wrong. For a moment there I thought Byakuya knew I was here.' he thinks to himself. He stares at where Kisuke took Ichigo.

'Alright now that Rukia has been abducted this guarantees Ichigo will be heading to Soul Society so I can leave for Hueco Mundo' he decides.

He spreads his wings and flies towards where he and Masaki fought. This place is out of the way and if his plans cause some extra damage it's already pretty messed up here.

'Ok system, stop suppressing the evolution.' he thinks.
