An end to the madness (open)

[shinji]

(OOC: hey anyone notice how this thread is called 'an end to the madness?'' hm oh the irony!! lol)

Shinji looked on at Mia and nodded as she thanked him ''You seem to want to get involved but wont..im guessing you dont have your shinigami form?'' he said and then heard Orihime fly at Ichigo attacking him and cutting him. ''WHAT!!'' he shouted ''INOUE!? THAT'S ICHIGO!!''
''What the hell is she doing!!?'' he added. He knew Orihime would never do anything like this but he remebered, Itsuki's puppeterring, damn jerk was going to hell and he'd love to watch that! He see Ichigo not being able to do anything about it, falling into a trap where one of his friends was being used agasint him, he knew Ichigo protected Orihime like his life depended on it and now he could do the opposite, it was no wonder that Ichigo felt useless in this situation but it had caused him to shut down, to stop all his reasonable thinking and he was just allowing Orihime to hurt him! ''Ichigo hit her!! knock her out!! you have to stop her or you will die!!'' he told him as harsh as it sounded Orihime wasnt showing any mercy or signs or stopping or recognising him, she was attacking him one after the other and soon she would hit a vital organ and do huge damage or he'd die from blood loss heck he was probably going to pass out if he kept this up. Poor Ichigo, he had been lost and confused before this and now he was probably going to have a mental breakdown. Shinji looked to Itsuki ''You may want to watch Ichigo lose his mind but i wont allow it!'' he said and charged Itsuki sword at the ready going in for a swing at his face.

(yes lol)

"yes i want to help" Mia said "i didnt pick up any soul candy i was in a rush to leave im regretting it now, the only thing i have is the liquid inside the gem but its not stable....i gess i could give it a go" she said. She saw Shinji fly off and attack Itsuki.

"Ishida" she said and went over to him "i need you to look after my book" she said. and took out the gem. "i have an idea, if ichigo cant knock her out i will try whilst shes distracted" she said. She cracked open the gem and swalloed the liquid inside. Nothign happerned for a moment until she went limp and half of her body went to the floor. Mia was half in and half out of her gigai "ah crap!" she said. She put her hands on her back and started to push the back of her gigai which twitched a little then she was sucked back in it "oh come on!" she growled. this time her legs were thrown out "gha whats going on!" she yelled and was thrown out. She sighed and felt herself being dragged back she started to run on the pot and galcned back seeing her gigai move towards her. "GHA!" she yelled and tired to run faster but nothing she coudlnt move her gigai flew at her and she was again in her human body befor colapsing backwards and being hurtled into the air. She yelled as her shinigami fourm was hurtled high into the air and her Gigai lied motionless on the floor. She became a little spec in the sky.

"....im not doing this again!" she cried and soon found herself hurterling down. "GHA!" she yelled she had to twist her body so her feet were facing down wards she put her hands down to stop her unifourm which was more like a dress from flyign up. She landed on the floor the pavment cracking slightly under her feet and she shook a little. "oh god" she grumbled and shakeilly grabbing the rose on her hip she looked up to see where orihime was as she was a little disorientated from the little trp she just had.

[ishida]

(oh yeah! its not an end to the madness at all!!)

Ishida watched as Ichigo seemed to struggle, not knowing what to do ''Why are you hesitating!!'' he yelled at him and then see how he tried to reason with Orihime but it was no good she wasnt reacting like Orihime, this situation was actully displaying just how much Ichigo cared for Orihime, he smiled but only a little, glad he wanted to protect someone rather than be a thug on a street.

Suddenly Tsubaki, Orihime's attacking flower flew round and cut Ichigo repeatedly, Ishida flinched a little ''Kurosaki!!'' he yelled and shook his head then looked to Shinji ''He's just not gonna do anything!! he's actually going to let her kill him!'' he said to him then looked back at Ichigo. ''Kurosaki!! Inoue-San would want you to stop her...'' he began then looked down a little ''If she knew she was attacking you like this then she'd want you to stop her...'' he said to him but heard Mia ask if he could look after her book, he frowned but nodded and took it from her and watched the whole process of her changing out of her gigai, he blinked a few times, ''Well that was one heck of a ride...ok...your right...ibut isnt that thing on his wrist...Itsuki's wrist...doesnt that communicate with his victims? maybe we should destroy that?'' he said thinking. ''No en we can take care of Inoue-San and....'' he began and then looked up at Ichigo ''Kurosaki'' he said and tapped his wrist then looked over at Itsuki ''Destroy it Kurosaki!'' he said with a small smirk to Itsuki.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Tsubaki went round caught the side of his face and then into his side before striking his leg, all Ichigo could do was shut his eyes everytime Tsubaki sliced him. He looked up and to Orihime and see Tsubaki fly round again for another attack a focused look on his face, he looked to his zanpakuto picking it up from the ground after Itsuki had pulled it free from his foot and observed to see where Tsubaki might hit him next, what he was going to do yet he didnt know but just react on instincts, he was getting closer and yet Ichigo still wasnt doing anything his grip tightened on Zangetsu as his foot edged forwards a bit before he shook his head in conflict with his desision but Tsubaki grew closer as he debated in his mind if he should destroy him or not. Ichigo slowly lowered his zanpakuto and took the next hit without a care.

''Ghha...fuck sake! what's the matter with me!!? this is stupid!!'' he yelled angry at himself, why coudlnt he do it! He heard Ishida tell him to go for Itsuki's device that he wore on his wrist, he nodded and stepped forwards he'd probably have Orihime still wanting to fight him and step in the way to stop him but maybe he could one shot Itsuki with everything he had.
Ichigo looked to Ishida and see how Mia had escaped her gigai to help and planned to knock her out ''I'll leave Inoue to you guys then?...'' he said feeling like he couldnt help with Orihime anymore and then looked at Itsuki now he was a different matter he could kill him easy ''You wanna fight...then fight me dont use my friends to do your dirty work'' he said as he lifted Zangetsu and looked at the bracelet Itsuki had.

His left hand hit the top of his right forarm quickly preparing to change forms ''Bankai'' Ichigo muttered quietly as he which erupted a huge burst of red and black reiatsu out from him allowing all his reiatsu that was trapped within him to flow out and increase his strength. There was a sudden breeze that got stronger kicking up a dust cloud before it died down and Ichigo's shinigami robes changed into the usual floor length Bankai coat he had when using this form, and the more streamline and completely black Zangetsu was held in his right hand as he looked to Itsuki.

Keeping quiet he moved his hand up towards his face after a pause and concentrated some of his black reiatsu onto his face and manifested a hollow mask, this was the first time he had been able to use his hollow with his commands rather than his hollow taking over, but he only had a while to keep the mask before it shattered.

[Asano Keigo]

Itsuki grinned to himself wishing he had done this straight away if he had kown it would of been such a show for him. It was fun for him to watch Ichigo breakdown little by little and have him make a decision quickly but he still couldnt do it and took further slashes from Orhime. He chuckled ''Great Inoue-San jsut great!!'' he cheered her. ''Go for something a little more life threatening now...how about...here'' he said and made his reaitsu grow and increase causing Orihime to swing Tsubaki towards Ichigo's torso. ''Ad a girl! your like a daughter i never had'' he smiled before he saw Mia change form ''Oh and here come the calvery for our worrier'' he smiled seeing Ishida tell Ichigo to go for his bracelet. ''Haha!! come and try it then, Ichigo!'' he said as he gestured him to come towards him with his hand. ''Come 'ere then...lets...'' he began but he paused hearing him say 'Bankai' ''What did you say?'' Itsuki muttered under his breath. He watched with suspicion ''Since when did you have a Bankai? you've only been a shinigami for a while it takes forever to get a Bankai...'' he said but he suddenly straightened and took notice.

Itsuki readied his sword and smirked ''Alright then..what's this Bankai of your do then...teach me'' he said before he saw his hand move up as he materialised his reaitsu into a hollow mask. Itsuki's expression turned fierce. ''.....So then'' he began with a dark voice. ''You got control of him already...so you didnt need my help after all then'' he said and took in his hollowfied form. ''Your one scary kid Ichigo...lets do this then'' he said and clicked his neck as he moved it from side to side and then then stood tall as his sword lifted. ''You couldnt kill me...'' he began and then looked to Orihime and made her walk in front of him ''When she's in the way'' he smirked.

[Inoue Orihime]

Tsubaki sliced and sliced again causing Ichigo more injuries while Orihiem just watched on with a blank stare. She only registered Itsuki and no one else apart from who she is told to attack and at this moment it was Ichigo. He was her target and she would only make Itsuki happy if she succeded. She then heard Itsuki command her to aim for something more life threatening, so far it was just a tip of the ice burg and she nodded ''Hai, Itsuki-Sama'' she said, it was still Orihime's voice but it was lackustered, it lacked her bubbly personality it lacked entusiasum and was dull.

Orihime gave a flick of her wrist and Tsubaki circled Ichigo as she waited for Itsuki to tell her where to strike Ichigo. Tsubaki flew around Ichigo and could recognise Ichigo he was part of Orihime's soul and therfore knew what she knew, felt what she felt, he seemed confused as to why Orihime was using him to attack Ichigo but he could do nothing they were bound to Orihime and what she said and told them goes. Orihime heard the command from Itsuki and she nodded ''Hai!'' she said louder and waved her hand across and Tsubaki flew at Ichigo and appeared to his left soaring at a fast speed he scraped across Ichigo's torso tearing through his shinigami robes and right through his skin with ease and was commanded to cut deep into Ichigo as he carried on flying passed him and then hovered in the air. Orihime smiled a little ''Where next Itsuki-Sama?'' she said perhaps it would be the throat? the chest? or his heart? she frowned though and held her head feeling like it ached before she shook her head.

[shinji]

Shinji watched as Mia escaped her gigai with great difficulty but he smirked ''Good to have you with us Miss Experiment'' he said and then looked to Ishida ''Four eyes? even you dont know what to do!! were screwed here then'' he said and grabbed Ishida by his shoulder and shook him ''But your the intelligant one!! your suposed to know everything!!!'' he said to him and then let him go as he heard Orihime creating some fatal wounds on Ichigo ''Ahh!! stop cutting my next recruit Inoue!!'' he yelled to her. ''Ah crap Ichigo do it!!!'' he told him firmly but see he just couldnt he raised his eyebrows feeling like this was dire end before he looked up, even the skies were morning, crying down on them as some sped of rain hit the ground gently at first before he poured it down. ''Ah this cant get any worse can it!'' he complaiend as he stomped his foot before he had run out at Itsuki guns blazing, battle charging him before he stopped seeing Ichigo change form ''No!! dont Ichigo'' he said said when he saw him manifest his hollow, too late...this was not good ''Ichigo you shouldnt of done that, your hollow will probably take over with rage and anger at you for losing your power!'' he said to him.

[Reiko Sato]

Mia smiled softly at Shingi and then held the silver rose to her lips. "ro-zu, extend your reach" she said and turned it so that the flower was faceing th ebottom the steam extended into a whip. "Sorry Orihime" Mia said and quickly lashed out the whip trying to grab Orihime around the wast so she could yank her towards her and out of the way. So she was no longer Itsuki's sheild.

[ishida]

''Damn! this is bad...trust Itsuki to use Inoue-San'' he sighed and then see how Ichigo was extremely hesitant in his actions ''Its ok, Kurosaki we understand you cant harm her...so Mia-San will do it'' he said and then looked to Mia seeing her using her zanpakuto to stop her. This didnt looked good for Ichigo, he was just getting inury after injury how could Itsuki watch this!

However his attention was brought onto Ichigo as he changed form into his speed demon of a Bankai, that should leave Itsuki running round in circles but he increased his pwoer further but manifesting a hollow mask, since when could he do that? he suddenly smirked ''So you have been trainning, Kurosaki...'' he muttered to himself. He was glad that Mia had roped Orihime trying to put her in away from the fight so Itsuki couldnt use her agasint Ichigo.

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Ichigo had already gained multiple injuries from Orihime and he knew he wouldnt stand for much longer which was why he had a plan to one shot Itsuki and kill him aswell as destroying that weird bracelet he had all in one attack. He needed something powerful enough to both things which was why he was using his hollow ontop of his Bankai.

He couldnt do anything however until Orihime was out of the battlefield and couldnt be used as a shiled, if he just ser of a Getsuga Tensho out at Itsuki then he'd probably made sure Orihime ran in the way and took the hit, now that he couldnt allow happen. So he was releived to see Mia had stopped her and pulled her from harms way he nodded to her with thanks before he focused back onto Itsuki, now he could take him down with everything he had and be able to concentrate. He smirked hearing Itsuki not untstanding how he could have Bankai. ''I achived it 2 years ago when i first became a shinigami, why so surprised?'' he said with his voice even sounding hollow from his transformation. But he didnt have time to explain anything else so with that he let his reaitsu continue to increase as he prepared to use another Getsuga Tensho.

But what Shinji had said put him off a bit, what did he mean his hollow would be angry at him? because he had lost is powers his hollow would probably be fuming that he could that happen. Ichigo suddenly reached up to his hollow mask feeling his hollow's rebellious torment trying to stop him from using his mask. There was a cracking sound as parts of his mask began to fall away. ''Shit! not now!!'' Ichigo said to himself as he struggled to stand upright, he trembled a little and staggered back a bit as his hollow fought for control forcing his mind into submission forcing his way out. ''Go away!!!'' Ichigo snapped viciously. ''Go away!!'' he snapped again as his hollow teased him in his mind hearing everything he said how could he not listen to that eerie voice in his head.

Suddenly Ichigo's reaitsu began to spike and fly out of control, waves of his reiatsu flew out from underneath him and outwards cracking up the ground as it went. Before long Ichigo's mask was spreading throughout his body, his mask growing markings, hollow horns appeared on either side of his head his skin turning white as he yelled out in distress from his hollow taking over him. He should of known this was coming but he didnt think it would be now, he knew once he got his powers back it was only a matter of time before his hollow also returned, and he was just getting to like not having a hollow.

Ichigo's hollow stood there and looked at Itsuki and then down to Tensa Zangetsu, Ichigo's Bankai and then raced at Itsuki he used a sonido to appear beside Itsuki and he grabbed him by the wrist where he wore that bracelet and instantly Ichigo's hollow brought his zanpakuto up behind his head and slammed it down onto Itsuki's arm going to cut it straight off from the forarm down along with the bracelet and then tossed it aside before he grabbed Itsuki by his cloak and threw him over his shoulder like a rag doll and then stormed after him ready for another attack his clawed feet breaking the ground beneath him with each step.
