Chapter 6 - The Kenpachi

(I DO NOT OWN BLEACH, I only own my OCs and my art, all credits of arts that are not mine will be given to their owners.)

Wisp pov.

I woke up groaning as my articulations made crackling sound.

"Jesus." I say surprised by the sound.

I get up and walk out in the open, breathing the fresh air as I sigh, it's been a few days since my last figh with a hollow, I also encountered multiple shinigamis but none of them were strong.

Though I have a bad feeling, like no one came back to the forest since a couple of days ago and I hope they didn't send in a captain or something because I will be in a very bad situation.

But on the bright side of things, from training with Ken I got used to this new body and can actually control myself, now I don't fly forward the moment I begin to run, I also discovered how to go out of my shinigami state by focusing my reiatsu back into me making the clothes and sword disappear.

I sit down on a log next to my tent-thing-that-I-use-as-a-place-of-living and take an apple out of the bag and begin munching on it.

They were making preparations for me, now I guess it's either to kill me or bring me back by force.

I put the apple on the log and stand up to face my new opponents, I continue to scan the area with my senses guessing there to be 10 or so shinigamis.

Suddenly monstrous reiatsu comes crashing onto me, the unfair pressure making me stumble a little, it can't be...

'A captain' Ken says in my mind

A man which is around my size, with a muscular scared body showing it's experience and battles long past, he has an eye patch and a sword hair style with bells on the tips of his hair, he is wearing a captains uniform.

That man was Zaraki Kenpachi the strongest shinigami of this generation.

"Oh of course it HAD to be him." I shakily muttered but even then I felt a battle hungry grin spread on my face, to be honest I know I can't win against him much less with the other shinigamis present.

At least it would be the case if I didn't have my Shikai at least I have a chance at escaping, but still it will be the hardest battle since I got here.

So I do the next best thing and prepare, going into a very low sword drawing position before yelling my Shikai name.

We finally got the position of this "demon shinigami" after a few days of searching than preparation.

The old man ordered that I take a group of shinigamis with me even if I said that I didn't need them and denied repetitively, he send them with me without leaving me a choice in the matter.

We begin going towards the "demon", what a stupid nickname.

Yachiru pops up on my shoulder and begins pulling on my cheek.

"Ne ne, how strong do you think he is? Are we there yet?"

"I hont hnow (I don't know)" I say as she is still pulling on my cheek.

"I hope he can give you a fun time." She cheers letting go of my cheek.

"I just hope he isn't some sort of coward." I mutter.

"I don't think he'll run, from what we heard he seems to like fighting, especially fighting strong opponents." She says a finger on her cheek.

There we see a man eating an apple, he suddenly looks up and sees us, he approaches the group of shinigamis.

"Kenny I don't think he knows were here." She says surprised as Kenpachi reiatsu is really strong.

"How about we show ourselves? Yachiru go up in a tree or something." I grin.

"Okay." She disseapered and reappeared in a tree.

I begin unleashing part of my reiatsu making my presence known to the man on the island.

He stumble a little and looks shocked but suddenly puts on a grin.

'Interesting' he seems to be just like they described him as.

A battle junkie.

Suddenly the man goes in a low sword drawing position, and flares his reiatsu, a cloud of red smoke bursts out of his body and red electricity spins rapidly around him before hearing.

I stood there grinning as slightly at that little demon.

Wisp pov.

I activated the second form Shikai but did not move, I analysed the shinigamis and the captain waiting for them to make a move.

After a short moment of silence a shinigami runs at me followed by the others.

I smirk, rapidly drawing my sword and swinging it using my low position for more momentum, a blunt energy blade shot out of my sword as it crashed into them sending them flying unconscious.

I get up and rapidly put my guard in the direction of the sound of bells behing me blocking a sword strike which felt like I was hit by Ken all over again.

Grunting out of effort I was able to push him back.

"Well then... you were able to block that attack." Zaraki says gruffly grinning.

"Well the bells help a little." I shot back.

I panic as block is sword strike with mine but it still sends me back a few meters, my feet digging into the ground as I try to stop.

I grin feeling the adrenaline kick in and charge at my opponent our sword clashing between us, a small shock wave booms from the impact, I push him back and cut him across the ċhėst, although it was a small cut, like a graze kind of small.

My opponent laughs and charged right back at me swinging his sword.

Not having time to block, I parried with my arm... it got cut of leaving me to block with my face.

Fortunately I backed off but the sword still nicked by right eyebrow, I looked at my arm and growled because of the inconvenience and very high pain that I felt, I then heard a sigh, looking up Kenpachi was looking disappointed.

"Well I knew it was too good to last, you already have an arm cut off. It's over." He turn around and began walking away.

I growled looking at him and forced my arm to grow back, I teleport to him and punched him across the face with my regrown arm breaking a bit of my hand but it regenerated too fast to register

"Who says it's over ?!" I snarl at him, the punch effectively sending him skidding back a little.

He turn his head with a small scratches on his face with a surprised expression looking at my new arm.

We charge at each other again clashing swords and cutting each other as we put minimum effort in defence, we continue this exchange until he finally kicks me into the ċhėst  knocking me away tumbling onto the ground.

I get back up panting having multiple deep cuts on my body but they were already regenerating I am grinning and I also feel my sword vibrating with excitement.

On the other hand Kenpachi had some scratches and a couple of cuts on his body but nothing to serious.

"Come on, that's all you got !" He said laughing hoarsely.

"Not even close !" I shot back "But all good things must come to an end"

'mostly because I can't fight you when you go all out and I don't want to be captured' I thought.

"Hmm that's a shame, I guess we'll settle this the old fashion way and do one final attack." He flares his reiatsu at full power (with the eye patch on), if before his reiatsu was unfair now it's straight up unreal.

The pressure came crashing into me, wind picking up all around.

But I still smiled and unleashed my full power and also focused it into my sword and arms, pure energy and reiatsu merging into a new energy, red and purple electricity went up inside my arms, my pupils disappearing behind another protective layer.

I was ready.

We charge at each other making huge shockwaves behind us, we unleash a battle cry as our attack met in the centre effectively flattening the island and all my constructions.

I grit my teeth as I begin to push at 100% of my body strenght, surprisingly with no damage maybe the effect of the Shikai.

Our attacks explode making us take a step back, the shockwave broke a few of my bones and I now had a clear huge cut going from my forehead down the left side of my face and down to the middle of my ċhėst.

Blood and bone shards gushing out the wound... But I've had worse fighting with Ken so I go right back in and redirect all my energy in my arms cackling like a maniac drunk on battle .

Kenpachi though that it was over when he saw the huge wound that he inflicted onto the little demon but when he saw him coming back laughing, he couldn't help but be impressed and shocked at the same time.

Now I knew that a frontal attack wouldn't work in my state I used my brain and threw my sword at Kenpachi... which he dodged.

But he was distracted by it and allowed me to sneak past his defence and roaring I delivered a double palm strike in my opponents ċhėst, my arms instantly breaking under the strain of the attack and a shock wave filled with red and purple mist and electricity flew from the point of impact.

Kenpachi coughed out as he was violently sent backwards into the woods with one or two broken ribs and his wind knocked out of his lungs.

I fell on my knees blood dripping from my heavy wounds, which could bȧrėly regenerate, dark spots covering the side of my vision, I used the last of my strenght to teleport out of here to a place unknown.

Meanwhile

Kenpachi coughed to get his breath back and got up wide eyed, that double palm strike was unnatural everything about that man was unnatural, his regeneration, teleportation, and weird reiatsu with that other energy.

He looked back down to his ċhėst to see two big bruises on his ċhėst with faint burn marks.

"I guess he really is an unkillable demon as the shinigamis say." He laughed.

He then felt Wisp's reiatsu disappearing and not reappearing anywhere, Wisp had escaped.

Kenpachi laughed out loud, that fight was the best he had in a while even if he was not even close to going all out.

But that guy really had great potential and with that last though he began going back to the Gotei 13 as Yachiru cheerfully jumped on his shoulder going on about how that was a good fight and all.

Somewhere else

Wisp appeared in an old worn down building of some sort, it was dark and he couldn't see clearly but he wobbled towards an old couch put his bag down which he always has on him and promptly collapsed on the cough releasing his shinigami attire and falling unconscious.
