44 Horn Of Salvation

"Captain Commander!" Toshiro immediately got up and knelt on one knee in front of him. Soifon and Byakuya followed his lead and also knelt in front of him. Yamamoto stared at them. It made them very uncomfortable.

"Retreat. I will deal with this nuisance." Yamamoto ordered them. They nodded.

" Yes sir. "

They sealed their Zanpakutōs quickly and used Shunpo to appear next to the group of captains and lieutenants.

Yamamoto turned around and looked at Ichigo who was standing up. Ichigo looked at Yamamoto and grinned.

"Who are you, old man?" Ichigo asked him. Yamamoto's left eye twitched in irritation at being called an old man.

Shunsui covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing out loud. Nanao meanwhile was baffled.

"He.... He called the Captain Commander an old man?" She muttered in disbelief. A man with white hair that reached his waist chuckled to himself.

" The ryoka is not insulting him, Lieutenant Ise. The ryoka is just stating facts." The man said. Nanao looked at him in shock.

"You too, Captain Ukitake?" Nanao asked. Captain Ukitake just smiled gently at her. He had a giant umbrella above him put by Kiyone, his division's third seat.

Nanao who was left speechless, could only sigh in defeat.

Yamamoto tapped his cane on the ground, gathering everyone attention again. "You have caused chaos in Seireitei with your deviancy, youngster! I, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto will not let that slide!" Yamamoto declared. Ichigo grinned manically.

" What are you going to do to me, old man? Bore me to death with your thousand year old stories? " Ichigo taunted. Yamamoto huffed.

" Keep talking like that boy, and you'll know exactly why I've remained being the Captain Commander for over 1000 years. " Yamamoto replied. Ichigo narrowed his eyes.

"Oh yeah? Well I'm about to steal that position right in front of your very eyes, old man. " Ichigo muttered.

Ichigo appeared in front of Yamamoto and swung down his claymore. Yamamoto stepped out of the way with ease.

The claymore struck the ground, cratering it. Ichigo looked at Yamamoto who stared at him with a raised eyebrow.

Ichigo continued his attacks. Yamamoto continued to dodge his attempts with ease. Ichigo was getting more excited at the seconds went by.

Ichigo stabbed his claymores on the ground. A blue orb the size of a basketball appeared on his right palm. He appeared in front of Yamamoto.

"Rasengan." Ichigo muttered and slammed the orb into Yamamoto's stomach. Yamamoto took the attack confidently.

*BAAAAANG!!!!*

A blue explosion occurred when the orb hit Yamamoto. Everyone watched in concern and anticipation.

When the smoke cleared, Ichigo was surprised. Yamamoto was just standing there.

"His clothes didn't even tear apart." Soifon muttered to herself.

Yamamoto looked at him. He raised his cane and tried to hit Ichigo in the shins. Ichigo jumped away and picked up his claymores again.

" You're good at this, old man. But this youngster isn't finished with his tricks. " Ichigo grinned madly at him. He gripped his claymores tightly and looked at Yamamoto who was looking at him with a glint of curiosity in his eyes.

" Behold old man, my Shikai. " Ichigo muttered. All of a sudden, red Reiatsu spun violently around him, creating shockwaves that cratered the ground he was standing on

"Go forth and tear the heavens asunder, Zangetsu!!!" Ichigo shouted.

*FSHOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!*

Ichigo was then covered by an evil dark red Reiatsu. The shockwaves rippled violently. Yamamoto's Captain's haori was fluttering violently.

The spectating captains and lieutenants were trying to keep themselves from not being blown back again.

After a few seconds, the violent Reiatsu disappeared revealing Ichigo in a new form. Yamamoto widened his eyes a little when he saw the physical changes that happened to Ichigo.

"I call this.... The Horn of Salvation. " Ichigo muttered with a grin. Ichigo felt like he could conquer anything right now.

Ichigo's irises were bright golden-yellow irises, black pupils and black scleras. He had a black hole on his chest. The hole had pitch black lines stretching out of it. The lines stretched throughout Ichigo's torso.

One line stretched up towards his face and covered the left side of his face. The line stretched to his forehead and ended there.

Yamamoto looked at the long sharp horn on the side of Ichigo's head. It had a weird shape but ultimately the tip was pointing at Yamamoto

Yamamoto then looked at Ichigo's Zanpakutōs. They looked like the ones from when Ichigo got his new Zanpakuto. [Insert pics here.]

"What have you done to yourself, boy?" Yamamoto shouted at Ichigo. Ichigo looked at him with a confused face.

"What do you mean, old man? I just released my Shikai?" Ichigo answered.

" The horns and the eyes. You're a Hollow, ryoka. " Yamamoto told him bluntly. Ichigo shrugged.

" At least I'm not a mindless beast. Do you see me firing Ceros at you right now?" Ichigo asked him. For the first time in years, Yamamoto was speechless.

But that expression quickly disappeared into an angry one. "You're beating will be even worse now, boy." Yamamoto muttered. Ichigo snorted.

" Bring it on, old man. Don't be sad when I defeat you and steal your position. " Ichigo taunted back. They stared at each other.

Suddenly, they widened their eyes.

*FSHHHOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!*

Yamamoto and Ichigo were leaking their own Reiatsu. They were in a war of Reiatsu. Their spiritual pressure was literally breaking the ground around them.

With the captains, they were horrified. Soifon gritted her teeth. "This is impossible! How could a human not kill himself when facing Captain Commander's Reiatsu! " Soifon muttered in disbelief. Byakuya who can't handle the pressure anymore, knelt down on the ground.

Toshiro coughed up blood. Unohana who was somewhat able to handle the two warriors Reiatsu pressure, started healing Toshiro with Kaido.

The lieutenants were having an even harder time when Ichigo and Yamamoto decided to clash with their own Reiatsu.

"Nanao-san! I can't... Ugh...." A woman with black hair pulled into a bun held in a tied cloth muttered. She was Hinamori Momo, the lieutenant of the 5th Division, Aizen's division.

She collapsed onto Nanao. "Hinamori-san!" Nanao muttered weakly and they both knelt down on the ground.

They started coughing violently. "I can't..... breathe...." Momo muttered. All of the sudden, the Reiatsu clash stopped.

The two women then felt a warm and gentle Reiatsu enveloping them. They slowly opened their eyes and looked in front of them.

They quickly widened their eyes im shock. It was Ichigo. He was kneeling in front of them and had a concerned look on his face.

"Are you two okay?" He asked the speechless women. The captains quickly unsheathed their Zanpakutōs.

"Get away from them, Ryoka!" Toshiro shouted. Ichigo ignored him and kept staring at Momo intently.

"Uh..... Well.... You see...." Momo stuttered with a blush on her face. Ichigo chuckled and rubbed her head gently, prompting her to blush even more.

"I take it you're okay then. How about you? Is it too much? " Ichigo looked at Nanao who was speechless as well. When Ichigo looked at her with those golden-yellow eyes, Nanao felt her face heat up.

Ichigo smiled at her and rubbed her head as well. "You two enjoy the show okay? Holler at me when things get too much for you." Ichigo flashed them a broad grin. He used Sonído and disappeared in a flash, making a static noise in the process.

Ichigo appeared in front of Yamamoto again. Yamamoto huffed. "You are easily distracted, boy! I hope this beating teaches you a lesson or two about the basics of battling." Yamamoto scolded. Ichigo chuckled. He raised the claymore on his right hand and pointed it at Yamamoto.

"Bring it on, old man. I'll give you a third scar on your forehead if you're not careful.....
