I don't own anything

In a large stadium, filled to the brim with crowing civilians and Nin alike, all watched as the group in the center disperse, while three stood in the center.

Some of the people that were walking away from the center were several girls, wearing a relatively same uniform.

One girl had long straight dark hair and blue eyes. She wore a hooded-cloak, a thigh-length trench coat, knee-high boots, a miniskirt and black stockings. Bambietta had a slight scowl on her face, at not being able to fight.

Another girl had bright blue eyes and long black hair, which extended down to her lower back, with two strands sticking up like antennae. She wore a white trench coat with long sleeves, white shoes and black leggings.

Then there was a petite young girl with chin length blonde hair and golden eyes. She wore a white uniform, with a skirt instead of a trench coat, gloves, patterned leggings and a white cap.

Next to her was a tall well-endowed girl with long wavy purple hair and short bangs that framed her face and forehead, and purple eyes. She wore the usual white outfit, with a frilled skirt, frilled gloves, frilled boots and leggings.

And finally there was another tall well-endowed girl with long green haired and green eyes. She had prominent eyelashes and thin thunderbolt shaped eyebrows. She wore a more revealing version of the outfit. She wore a double-breasts jacket, which she kept tied up to reveal her midriff and unbuttoned, as well as removed the fabric on the sides, to display her cleavage. She wore a pair of short-shorts along with a pair of ankle-high shoes.

While Candice, Bambietta, Meninas, Liltotto and Giselle headed to the observation area, with Samui, Karui, Gaara and Shikamaru, though the Quincy girls didn't really give a shit about them.

Ichigo stood in the center of the arena. He wore his usual anamorphous black robe-like cloak that flared out at the ragged ends, along with black pants and black low-heeled boots. A few feet in front of him was a boy with spikey blond hair, blue eyes and whisker marks on his cheeks.

"Now the first fight, begin!" The Procter announce, as he moved back.

Ichigo looked at Naruto with a blank if not slightly sad look, before he glanced away inattentively.

"Hey! What's with that look, you weirdo?!" Naruto asked loudly.

"So quick to announce yourself, and so quick to put your life on the line…but what about those you wish to protect, are you so foolish as to trespass in my tomb?" Ichigo said, as he looked at the blond. "Would you offer up those lives, to prevent the unity between us?" He asked curiously.

"Quit talking like that." Naruto said with narrowed eyes.

"Talking like what?" Ichigo replied, with a tilt of his head.

"Like some…freaking weirdo, you talk all crazy and sad! What the hell's up with that!?" Naruto asked loudly.

"'Weirdo…Sad…Crazy…'" Ichigo repeated, as he glanced down and scowled. "I'm not crazy." He said unsure.

"You killed that Neji-bastard in cold-blood! You didn't have to! And you enjoyed it!" Naruto yelled angrily. "If that isn't crazy I don't know what is!" He admitted.

Bambietta, Liltotto, Candice, Meninas and Giselle stood up, where some of the other competitors stood.

"Man, that blond idiot is really barking up the wrong tree." Bambietta said sardonically. "Stupid." She commented.

"What's so stupid about it?" Shikamaru questioned, as he glanced at the girls.

"Well, Ichi-kun…" Giselle began, with her usual smile, only for Liltotto to cover it.

"Don't answer." Liltotto instructed.

"…Aw, but Lili-chan! They wanna know about the sexiest, most awesomest Vampire around!" Giselle said happily.

"…'Awesomest' isn't a word." Liltotto said dryly.

"Ichigo-kun fully admits he's crazy…but when someone else calls him that, not including us, he gets a bit…angry." Candice interjected, as she looked down at the field.

Ichigo glanced down unsure, before he looked at the blond. "Crazy? I'm not crazy? What is crazy? Hmmm...Hmm?" He pestered. "No, no, no, no…I'm not crazy…." Ichigo informed, getting a narrowed eyed look from the blond. "…It's not me who's crazy. It's the whole world that's crazy. It's so…ripe, so full of Madness!" He announced, as he smiled fully, which his cloak flaring out.

"You're crazy!" Naruto announced, as he put his hands together and formed a crossed. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)!" He announced, as several clones formed around him. "I'm going to kick your ass!" He declared.

Ichigo spread his arms out, as his cloak flared violently with some Reishi-Bats forming out of the ragged ends. "Spit and rage, you foolish pawn! My safety is assured. Come, join the chorus! Let me sing your bitter words!" He raved.

The clones held a kunai, before they charged at the orange haired teen and surrounded him. Ichigo rolled his neck a bit, as he raised his right hand up and formed an oversized M1911 Reishi-Pistol. The orange haired teen raised the pistol forward and fired, causing the Naruto's head to violently explode into smoke.

Ichigo turned and fired dozens, hundreds of shots from this Reishi weapon at the hording clone group, causing all of them to explode in smoke.

"Hmhm…Hmhmeheh…Hehehehe." Ichigo chuckled to himself, as he noticed more clones seemed to form, with the real one keeping his distance. The vampiric teen dissipated his Reishi-weapon as he looked at the amassing of clones. "For a month I've tamed myself, I've held myself back…" He said, as he tilted his head to the side and smiled wildly, showing his teeth.

Ichigo's cloak seemed to flare and rustle a bit, before several tendrils of black and crimson energy seemed to slither out from under it. The tendrils seemed to thinkin and form spikes along their bodies. At the ends of the tendrils demonic serpent-like heads began to form, having long, needle-like teeth and hinged lower jaws.

"We…Are…Not…Afraid of you!" The Clones said in unison.

Ichigo blinked a few times, before he began to steadily smirk. "At last, I feed!" He announced, as one of the demonic serpent tendrils shot forward and impaled the closest clone. When the clone dispelled, the orange haired teen vanished and appeared in the center of the mass of clones. The demonic serpent tendrils opened their maws and growled loudly, before they shot out.

One slashed a clone in half entirely. A demonic serpent shot forward and bit down on a Naruto clone's outfit and pulled him closer, while another serpent moved right up into the clone's face and opened its maw inhumanly wide, almost as wide as the clone's head. Quickly before the clone knew the serpent that held onto his cloths threw him back and slammed him into the stone wall of the stadium. One Naruto clone took a step back, but a demonic serpent bit down on the back of his orange outfit and lifted him up, while another serpent cut him in half from the waist.

Ichigo glanced around and turned, to see the other fights that were happening. One demonic serpent gripped a clone be the helm of its shirt, before another serpent growled in its face, and then completely whipped the head off of the clone.

A demonic serpent slammed its head into the ground, causing a Naruto clone to stumble back. When he stumbled back the demonic serpent gripped him by the stomach and lifted him up, before it coiled around the blond clone. The serpent pressed its head into the clone's stomach and in some gore, it exploded from the clone's chest, before the clone quickly dispelled.

"Yes…Yes!" Ichigo raved.

A demonic serpent grabbed onto one of the foot of a Naruto clone and lifted it up, before another serpent bit down onto the other foot. The two demonic serpent tendrils moved towards each other for a second, before they completely whipped apart, tearing the Naruto clone in half, crotch up.

"Torture and kill; TORTURE AND KILL!" Ichigo announced, as his eyes were fully black with his irises yellow.

A serpent head bit down on a clone's neck, before another came up and bit down on top of the clone's head and completely tore the head off the clone, before it dispelled. Another serpent head bit down on the back of a Naruto clone's neck, before another demonic serpent chomped down on the clone's neck and tore out its throat.

One of the Naruto clones exploded completely, when a demonic serpent threw a large rock at it at tremendous speeds and forces. A clone tried to attack Ichigo from the back, but a demonic serpent coiled around his body and bit the back of his head and pulled back, forcing the clone's mouth open, before another demonic serpent shoved itself down the clone's throat and tore up his insides, before it dispelled.

"Disembowel! Eviscerate!" Ichigo raved a bit, as his demonic serpents tore through the clones.

"Whoa…" Candice muttered a bit stunned.

"I've never seen Ichi-kun so violent, I love it!" Giselle announced happily.

"Why's he doing it that though? He's never fought like that before." Liltotto questioned unsure.

Bambietta frowned, while Meninas made a considerate face. "Maybe it's what the idiot said. 'We're not afraid of you'. Perhaps that resonated with Ichigo-kun." The purple haired woman theorized.

"Why would he care?" Bambietta asked irritated.

"…Because he's a monster." Candice said as she glanced down. "And what do monster's hate?" She asked.

"For their prey to not fear them." Liltotto answered with a sigh, as she ate some of her food.

"So he's doing that…as a statement!" Shikamaru said with some shock. That was a pretty far way to go just for a simple statement.

"This is Ichi-kun we're talking about! He never does things without a show." Giselle said with a smile.

"They're a weird bunch." Samui commented, to her team, getting a nod of agreement. Gaara was intrigued by the orange haired teen even more.

Ichigo looked at Naruto with a wide smile, as all the clones were gone. The demonic serpents receded back into his cloak. Naruto formed a hand seal, and created two more clones. But in an instant Ichigo was in front of him, with both of his hands impaling the two clones.

"Enough! They're Ordinary, dull, pointless, MAGGOTS!" Ichigo yelled. "I want a really fight!" He demanded, as his eyes gleaned yellow.

Naruto quickly moved back and did a hand seal. 'I don't know any more techniques that could be useful…but hopefully this works…' He thought, as the orange haired teen charged at him, but the blond was enveloped in smoke, when the smoke cleared everyone was confused, while Ichigo stopped.

The Hokage was sighing and rubbing his eyes, Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, the Raikage made a confused face, and BG9 was unreadable. Sakura in the rafters face palmed.

At the center of the stadium stood a partially naked blonde woman with smoke covering her private areas, where Naruto once stood. Ichigo tilted his head unsure. "I see, trying to seduce your enemy. I cunning strategy…" He began, as a Naruto clone holding several explosive tags snuck up behind him. "…but if you think that'll work, you're sorely mistaken. I only have eyes for a particular set of girls. But I must let you know, you're not the only one who can turn into a…" Ichigo said, before the clone exploded behind him, enveloping him in the explosion.

Naruto sighed in relief as he dispelled the jutsu. "I didn't think that'd work." He muttered, as the dust and smoke from the explosion subsided, reveling nothing was left. Before the match could be called, Naruto froze when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He glanced to his side and saw it was a pale white hand wearing a pink fingerless glove.

"As I was saying before, you're not the only one who can turn into a female." A very distinct…female voice said.

Naruto slowly turned around and stumble back, mostly because behind him was a girl. She had short orange hair and turquoise colored eyes. Her cloths seemed to be a mix and match, with various colors and themes.

She wore a collared black vest that ended at her waist. Under her vest were two layers of cloths, colored red and light-blue. She wore a white sleeves top that formed a tiny heart shape between her cleavage and collarbone, with a white detached sleeve on each arm. She wore matching pink fingerless gloves on each hand, and sported a pink skirt that started at her waist and ended mid-thigh. Her shoed were a mix of pink and white.

"W-who are you?" Naruto asked.

"Aw, that's such a dumb question, you silly goose." The orange haired girl said, as she waved off the question. "I'm Ichigo of course, well, not really! But I kinda am! Well, kinda, in mind, memories and abilities, I'm Ichigo! But with my dazzling new appearance…" She began as she struck a gallant pose. "…I like to call myself, Nora. Though, you can't call me that! Though it's nothing personal! I mean, I am going to kill you and eat your soul! So I guess it kind is personal, but not too personal." She rambled off a bit.

"What…" Candice began.

"The…" Meninas said.

"Serious…" Liltotto voiced.

"…Fuck." Bambietta said.

"I think she's cute." Giselle admitted, before she giggled to herself. "Oh, I have so many ideas! With me and that female Ichigo, and all those tendrils….Oh!" She sounded with a dopey smile, as she hugged herself. "It'll be so much fun!" She announced.

"Did you know he could do that?" Bambietta asked, as she looked at Meninas, mostly because the purple haired Quincy seemed to have the most knowledge on Ichigo.

"I am as surprised as you are." Meninas replied.

The now female Ichigo or Nora looked at Naruto, before she blinked her eyes, causing them to turn black and yellow. "Come on! Naruto-chan, I'm waiting! Or do you want me to go over there and break your legs?" She asked curiously, but she seemed excited.

Naruto pulled a kunai out of his pouch and charged at the orange haired girl. Sparks ignited, as Ichigo blocked the blade with a long silver handle to a large War Hammer. The orange haired girl smirked as she pushed the blond boy back, before she charged at him. When Naruto slashed at her, she twisted herself out of the way and jumped up into the air, before she turned and held her War Hammer up.

In an instant she slammed her hammer down, but Naruto jumped forward. She slammed the hammer into the ground, creating a crater, as well as sent Naruto into the air. When Naruto was in the air, Ichigo pulled the hammer back as it shifted into a revolver-fed Grenade launcher.

"Hehehe…hahahaha!" The female giggled insanely, as she fired off several Reishi Grenades. The grenades exploded in the air, sending the young Nin down. "Yes, yes, hehehehahaha! I'm the Queen!" She raved, as she spun the grenade launcher a bit as it formed back into a War Hammer. "Now off with your head!" She yelled, as she went to smash the blond's brains.

Just before the hammer could collide with the blond's head, his hand caught it. He slowly looked up, revealing his eyes were blood red with slits. Naruto's fist shot out and punched the orange haired girl in the face, sending her flying into the air. The blond vanished and appeared above the girl, before he spun and slammed his heel down on her chest, sending her crashing to the ground.

Naruto landed on the ground and glared forward, as he noticed the girl as imbedded into the ground with only her legs visible and contorted at weird angles. Black and crimson energy shot out of the hole, before it receded.

When the energy receded, the blond could see that his enemy wasn't the female anymore. It was Ichigo wearing his usual black robe-like cloak. "Oh yes, the little creature in you…I forgot about it." He said, causing the blond to look a bit shocked.

"W-what?" Naruto asked. He didn't know if anyone other than a select few knew that.

"How can he know that?" Hiruzen asked with narrowed eyes, as he looked at BG9.

"How? How does the fire know how to burn? How does the sun know how warm up a planet? It's all in its nature." BG9 replied, before he shook its head and looked down at the stadium. "Have you ever wondered why all of us wear white? Because we are pure, our souls are pure. Some might say killing and destroying is wrong, don't you agree? But that in itself is a lie. Since the dawn of man, there have been only a few rules in which everyone seems to know. That which is done will be done again. Stopping the wars, the fights, the bloodshed, is merely a…break, it's temporary. It's our purest nature. Humans are naturally purist, killing what which isn't them or in their group. And so are we are pure, because we don't resent our instincts…But some…" BG9 said, as it glanced at Ichigo. "…are of a different breed. Some have speculated why he chooses to wear all pure-black." He said.

"Why is that?" Hiruzen questioned.

"Because…Black is the face of his soul, he's as pure as we are…but in the other direction. Interesting, don't you agree? He knows about your secret, because he has to know. He is fear. He is anger, rage, depression, anxiety. He is whatever he needs to be, to ensnare all that he hates…into madness. Such a terrifying ability, yet such a…promising 'Shinobi', don't you think?" BG9 asked.

"Hmm…" Hiruzen sounded, as he gave a worried look towards Naruto.

Naruto glanced around at the crowd, hoping they didn't hear what the orange haired teen had said. The blond blinked a few times, as he felt something off with his head. "Ignore them. They hate you, Naruto…they always lie." Ichigo said, as he glanced at the crowed.

The blond boy blinked a few times, before he glanced back up and took a step back. He noticed everyone was glaring at him with the utmost hate. Naruto noticed every one of the people inside the stadium was glaring at him and some of them were yelling insults.

Naruto gripped his head, as he was thrown down memory lane. Everything he experienced, everything bad he went through was shooting through his head. And he was remembering them all.

"Remembering Something, Naruto?" Ichigo asked, as his voice began to shift between a normal one, to a quiet melancholic one, to a layered insane one.

"Shut up!" Naruto yelled, as he glared at Ichigo with red eyes, before they turned back to blue.

"I hope Ichigo-kun doesn't forget the reason we're here." Meninas said, as she glanced down unsure.

"I don't know." Liltotto said, as she watched the fight. "This punk kid is really…different…He's definitely pushing all of Ichigo's wrong buttons. He's already having the blond hallucinate a bit." She commented.

"I wanna see Ichi-kun get all pissed." Giselle admitted. "It could be a fun show." She added.

"Ichigo-kun hasn't taken this fight seriously yet." Candice informed, causing all of the Quincy girls to look at her. She knew what he could do, especially when he used his Vollständig or his Mask.

"True." Bambietta agreed, before she glanced off. The only two persons who saw Ichigo's Hollow Mask was Candice and her, and she really didn't want to pity whoever had to face that…monster.

"Shut up?" Ichigo asked, as he looked at Naruto. "Are you delusional to the truth? I know this, and so will you, if you decide to look. Your plans were not your own. You are the tool of caged and feeble minds." The orange haired teen said with a wide smirk.

"I don't care!" Naruto said, as he pulled out to Kunai from his Ninja Pouch. "As long as I know I'm loved and have people who acknowledge my, I don't care if someone uses me or not, I will protect them!" He announced, as he threw the two blades at the orange haired teen.

One blade caused Ichigo to stumble back, as he was impaled in the shoulder. The second on caused the teen to rear his head back, as the blade impaled his forehead. Ichigo looked up at the sky, as a blade stuck out of his forehead, before he looked down towards Naruto. "Love, acknowledge, protect…" Ichigo trailed off, as he glanced at the trees in the stadium. "…Those are the words of a fool." The orange haired teen stated with a scowl.

"I'd rather be a fool, and be loved. Then whatever you are!" Naruto yelled back.

"Whatever I am…" Ichigo said, as he titled his head to the side, as black and red mist seemed to seep out of his cloak. "…You're loved you say? By, whom exactly?" He asked curiously, as he glanced to the area behind the blond. "Them?" He asked.

Naruto glanced back, before his eyes went wide. Behind him was everyone he cared about. All impaled on large gratuitous spikes. "S-Sakura-chan…Sasuke….Kakashi-sensei…Old man…Iruka…E-everyone…" He muttered, as he fell back.

"Aww…What did they do to them? Hehehahahaha…" high-pitched, nasally voice asked.

"Stop it!" Naruto yelled, as he glared around. "What did you do to them?" He demanded, as he looked at the orange haired teen.

In an instant Ichigo appeared in front of the blond boy and gripped him by the helm of his outfit, and lifted him up. "They are a burden; This IS Freedom!" Ichigo raved, as he threw Naruto back and slammed him through the spikes that were protruding up from the ground, causing the hallucination to dissipate.

Naruto stumbled back, as he slowly and shakily stood up. "You…You…" The blond said, as he glared at the orange haired teen.

"Your God has abandoned you, your own people vilify you, and your own 'loved ones' use you…You have nothing…you are nothing." Ichigo said.

"Go to hell!" Naruto yelled.

"Oh I will, but…not yet." Ichigo replied, before he glanced up. "I find it…interesting, don't you think. You, a boy who is trapping a monster inside him, has to fight me, monster who's trapped into a visage of a man." Ichigo said, as he looked at his hands.

"I am nothing like you!" Naruto argued with a glare. "I'll kick your ass." He stated.

"You're confidence is born from your ignorance…You…are more like me, than you can possibly imagine." Ichigo replied, only for a hand to slap down on his face, as Naruto appeared in front of him with blood red slitted eyes, causing the orange haired teen to fly back at high-speeds.

"Quit spouting nonsense!" Naruto yelled, as his whisker marks deepened, while he crouched down.

Ichigo slowly stood up and looked towards the enraged blond. "Hmhmhm-hehehe-hahahaha! Yes! YESSSS!" He announced, as he saw Naruto giving off the dark vial energy. "Hmhm, you say as long as you're loved you don't care? As long as they acknowledge you, you'll follow them? As long as they care about you, you'll do whatever they say…unconditionally?" Ichigo asked, as he looked at Naruto in his initial Jinchūriki form.

"Of course!" Naruto forced out, as he crouched down.

"Well I've got news for you, kitten." Ichigo said, before he smirked. "A whore, is a whore, is a whore." He commented.

"RRAGGH!" Naruto sounded, as he appeared in front of Ichigo and slammed his clawed hand into the side of the teen's face. Ichigo flew along the ground, tearing up the ground as he tumbled along it, but he didn't stop. He hit the stadium wall and continued tumbling, going up the wall.

When Ichigo reached the end of the wall, Naruto appeared above him and slammed his clawed hand down, sending the teen plummeting to the ground. Naruto landed in on all fours, as he stared at the crater.

Ē and Yugito, hell most of the Kumo Nin looked decently surprised at the Jinchūriki. One of the Konoha Jonin moved next to Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, should we stop the fight? The Seal is breaking!" The Jonin said seriously.

"We can't…" Hiruzen replied with a scowl. "…But if it reaches critical levels, I'll personally intervene." He stated.

"Heh. So your Genin picked a fight with a Jinchūriki. I gotta say, he must got some pretty big balls, or is stupid." Ē commented to BG9. "You worried?" He asked.

"Why would I be?" BG9 asked, before it looked down into the stadium.

In the crater, the dust cleared, showing Ichigo was mangled inside it. His neck was twisted. His arms and legs were pointed in unnatural angles. His arms and legs began to crack loudly, as they moved back into the right place. He began to stand up, before his hands reached to his head, and then violently twisted it in place.

"Hmhmhm-hehehe!" Ichigo laughed, before he stopped instantly. "Do that again…It tickled." He said with a scowl. "Come on…Let's fight like real Monsters!" He announced, as he smiled at the blond.

Naruto glared and grunted, as he was enveloped in a red-orange cloak of energy, forming an ethereal tail behind him along with a pair of fox-ears above his head. "Shut…up!" Naruto yelled, as he charged at the orange haired insane teen.

Ichigo's eyes went wide, as his smile grew, before he charged with a large Reishi-pistol on his hand. The two charged at high-speeds, before they seemed to pass each other and stopped. Naruto grimaced, as he crouched down, while Ichigo blinked both of his arms exposing in gore from his shoulders, causing them to fall off.

Black and crimson energy came out of his shoulder stumps and reformed new arms. Ichigo turned and fired several shots from his Reishi-Pistol, causing Naruto to turn and yell, releasing a shockwave, sending the orange haired teen flying back.

Ichigo stood back up, as Naruto was glaring at him with slitted eyes. "My name is worthless like you told me I once was. My name is empty cause you drained away the love. My name is searching since you stole my only soul! My name is hatred and the reasons we both know!" Ichigo announced, as he smiled insanely. "Worthless, empty, searching, hatred…Well who am I right now?" He sang loudly, as Naruto charged.

Naruto charged and went to slam his hand into the insane teen's face. Ichigo turned and slammed his fist down on the back of the blond teen's head, sending him face first into the ground.

"You're fucking wearing me out! You're always dragging me down! You're the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind! I don't need a gun to take back what's mine! It's over, it's over now!" Ichigo announced.

Naruto glared at the ground, before he punched it and growled, and then turned to face Ichigo and charged again. Ichigo leaned to the side, avoiding the clawed hand, before he uppercutted Naruto in the jaw. When the blond stumbled back, Ichigo reached forward and wrapped his hands around the back of Naruto's head and pulled him down, before he kneed him in the face. Ichigo then turned and sent a back-wards kick to Naruto's chest, sending him flying back.

Yugito, Ē, and the Kumo Nin looked incredibly surprised now. Not only was this teen going toe-to-toe with a Jinchūriki. It was going against the Kyūbi, in its one-tailed state, which would be nearly impossible for a genin.

Ichigo turned and looked up at the sky inattentively. "It's strange. You giving yourself to people that hate you that vilify what you are. You want to be strong, so you could protect those that hate you…You want to be strong to prove that you are strong. But truth is. The real strong have no need to prove it to the fakes." He said, as he looked at Naruto on all fours.

"They…them…" Ichigo said, as he waved his hands in every direction. "They're looking for something dirty in everything, and if you're looking for something, you'll find it. You have to put up some kind of face for them, and that's the only face they understand." He stated, causing Naruto to glare.

"Shut up, you crazy bastard!" Naruto snapped out, as he grunted in pain, as the Kyūbi's chakra began to get stronger.

"You know, you can't stand me…" Ichigo said, as he looked at the blond. "…Do you know why? When you look at me, when you look down at me and you see a crazy fool. But when you look up at me all you see is a god…But if you look straight at me and you see yourself…You're trying so hard no to look straight at me, aren't you?" He asked with a smirk.

"S-Shut up…" Naruto muttered, when a second tail of energy began to slowly form.

"Do you want to know the truth about you? About your village? About your world? About your entire species?" Ichigo asked, as he tilted his head. "You…Your human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear…And what you human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'…only egotism exists." The Orange haired teen stated.

"What you do, what you prove, who you save, what you accomplish…is absolutely miniscule in the grand scheme in the Galaxy…In the universe." Ichigo stated.

"That's…deep." Liltotto said unsure, as she glanced at her teammates.

"That's a very fucking depressing outlook on life." Bambietta said rudely.

"Well, I'm not sure if you noticed, but Ichigo isn't exactly the picture fucking perfect definition of 'happy and sane'." Liltotto said dryly.

"It does make sense. Ichigo-kun does have all those inside him…and their memories. He could see things in differently." Meninas suggested.

Ichigo and Naruto stared down, with the blond had two tails of the Kyūbi's chakra radiating around him. The ground under Naruto cracked, as the Tailed Beast's Chakra stormed. Ichigo looked at Naruto unflinchingly, as he tilted his head to the side.

"Don't you realize the pointlessness of your actions? Everything you do is meaningless." Ichigo stated, as he looked at the angry Jinchūriki. "But I…" He began, only for Naruto to launch himself at the hybrid and grab him by the throat and drag him along the ground.

As Naruto dragged Ichigo along the ground, the orange haired teen reached up with one hand and formed a pistol. He brought his pistol up to his mouth and opened it, revealing his razor sharp teeth and bit down, before he cocked his gun. Ichigo leveled the barrel of his weapon right at the side of Naruto's temple.

"Cero!" Ichigo announced, before a crimson beam of destructive spiritual energy collided with the side of the blond's head.

Ichigo got up and brushed some of the dust off his black robe-like cloak and glanced around. He saw the damage of his cero and the dust was clearing, revealing Naruto was crouching down, with some of his cloths burnt off.

The hybrid looked at Naruto, who was distracted by pain from his own power. Ichigo slowly leveled his pistol at Naruto and black energy with a red outline began to form around the barrel of his weapon. 'Stop…stop….STOP!' several voices yelled into his head, causing Ichigo to look at Naruto inattentively. 'He has our power…Power!...Remember, we need him to help kill them man that killed our mother! Mother!' The voices said, causing Ichigo to scowl.

'The power of the Tailed Beast! The beast! We need it! Reunite us with our power!' A beast-like voice demanded, causing Ichigo to glance down unsure.

'Join his voice with ours!' Another dark insane voice demanded. 'Convert him. Show him the truth of them…' Another voice said.

Ichigo's eyes darted around as he contemplated all the voices in his head said, before the Cero Oscuras that was charging in front of his pistol dissipated, as he lowered his weapon. Naruto gritted his teeth, as he crouched down as the Kyūbi's chakra burnt him.

"Whelp, I'm bored!" Ichigo announced with a smile, as he glanced at the Procter. "I'm done, later." He said, as he turned around and walked away.

"W-what?" He asked, while almost everyone in the stadium looked confused. Hiruzen, Orochimaru and Ē had frowns, while BG9 didn't react at all. He knew what the plan was. Killing one of the people they were trying to recruit was counterproductive.

Bambietta, Giselle, Candice, Liltotto and Meninas sighed in unison. Bambietta and Candice sighed in relief, knowing that they wouldn't be seeing Ichigo fully pissed. Meninas and Liltotto were relived, knowing that Ichigo wouldn't ruin the plan they had. And Giselle was pouting because she wanted to see more blood and violence.

"What's your reason for forfeiting?" The Procter questioned, as he looked at Ichigo.

"Oh, the suns to bright and the children are thinking too many happy thoughts, the world's rotation is throwing off my grove, you can pick any of those excuses." Ichigo said uncaringly, as he vanished in a flicker.

Ichigo appeared in the rafters, next to the Quincy girls and glanced around inattentively. "You let him win!" Bambietta said irritated.

"I'm not here to impress these things." Ichigo said, as he looked at the explosive Quincy.

"That is true." Candice agreed with a nod.

"Oh, who asked you?!" Bambietta said angrily.

"…Um, what's wrong with short and blond?" Giselle asked curiously, as she poked her head over Ichigo's shoulder.

Ichigo turned around and noticed Naruto was still in the center of the field, covered in a cloak of the Kyūbi's chakra and formed a third tail. Naruto was glaring daggers at Ichigo, and the Quincy girls, before he crouched down and vanished in speed.

Bambietta, Giselle, Meninas, Candice and Liltotto actually moved back in fear at seeing that, feeling the hateful vial energy Naruto was giving off. Ichigo scowled as he reached out and the ground under him cracked violently, as he grabbed Naruto by the throat.

Naruto thrashed around, as his Kyūbi-cloak chakra-tails lashed out and burnt Ichigo, while also trying to attack the Quincy Girls.

Ichigo glared at Naruto, as his eyes turned black and yellow. "Have you learned nothing as you wandered through my tomb? I have no heart, stubborn fool, and so cannot be broken!" He announced, contradicting the fact he was protecting the girls from the enraged Jinchūriki.

Those words though caused the girls to freeze, well it caused Bambietta to freeze, as she began to feel numb and regret. '…That's what I said to you, when we met…you had no heart. That you're a monster…and monsters can't feel anything…' She thought, as she held her arm.

Ichigo lifted Naruto up, before he slammed him into the concreate ground, before he leaned down. Half of Ichigo's face was covered in a porcelain white mask, with a black strip going down the side of it. The hybrid released a loud demonic-echoey shriek, which had enough spiritual energy packed up into it, to basically 'blow away' the chakra that was enveloping Naruto's body.

"I…I won't let you live with what you've done." Naruto declared.

"Hmph, if you kill me, then with me dies the potential of a thousand million souls. Can you appreciate the tragedy, simpleton that you are? Your life is but an instant, a lonely flash. A ruse. And your…'victory'…Hmhmhehehahaha!" Ichigo laughed insanely. "…Another stone upon the monument to the sins of shortsighted fools." He said, as he let go of Naruto and stepped back.

Ichigo looked away inattentively, as he thought to himself. Giselle had her usual smile, as she wrapped her arms around one of his.

"Get you're crazy ass-hands off him, you zombie-freak!" Candice snapped angrily.

"Ass hands? That's just silly. These are my normal hands…" Giselle began, before she reached down and grabbed Ichigo's butt. "…These on the other hand." She said with a smile.

While Candice yelled at Giselle, Bambietta looked down with melancholy written all over her face. Remembering the past…

A few months after the Aizen's defeat and Ichigo being administered to a psychiatric ward

Walking through the long sweeping white corridors of the Silbern, three young girls walked along with a nervous young man. He wore pure white hospital pants and shirt, a pair of shoes and a beige overcoat. Ichigo has had matted disheveled orange hair, dark bags under his eyes and pasty skin, looking like he hadn't slept in weeks.

Giselle had a dopey smile, Meninas was holding her hands together, and Liltotto was scowling to herself. Ichigo was looking around inattentively, as he walked close to the three girls.

Ichigo glanced to the side, as he saw some people walking by. They all wore a similar white-suited uniform Giselle, Meninas and Liltotto wore, though it seemed to be more toned down.

Liltotto stopped and looked at Ichigo, before she narrowed her eyes at him. "Now you'll have to continue down this hallway, open the door and go straight forward and when you reach the door at the end of that hallway, knock." She instructed.

Ichigo looked down the hallway, before he looked confused. "Where are you guys going?" He asked unsure, as he looked at the three.

"Well, we can't be there with you when you meet, His Majesty." Meninas informed.

"Why not?" Ichigo asked with a tilt of his head. "You said I would be able to stay with you if I came here." He said, as he looked down. "Was that a lie?" He questioned.

"Shut up." Liltotto said with an eye roll.

"I'll stop speaking." Ichigo stated.

"You kinda put us on the spot there, Ichi-kun! It just doesn't seem like a good idea." Giselle admitted with a dopey smile and a shrug.

Ichigo nodded, before he turned and walked down the corridor. "Ugh, I thought he'd never leave." Liltotto muttered with a sigh, causing Meninas and Giselle to give her a weird look. "What? He's…fine, but he's annoying." She commented.

Meninas didn't really look convinced. She really didn't mind Ichigo's insane personality, but she could admit he was clingy and she didn't like it, Giselle on the on the other hand found him positively adorable.

Ichigo moved down the corridor he stopped and glanced back, to see the three girls had already disappeared. He slowly turned around and looked forward, before he looked down unsure.

"My, my, such a familiar scene, don't you think?" A familiar voice said, causing Ichigo to turn and saw Aizen standing next to him.

Ichigo just looked at him, before he looked forward and walked. Aizen raised an eyebrow, before he flickered out of existence. Finally the teen reached the door, before he opened it up and bumped into someone, which sent Ichigo to the ground.

"Who the hell do you think you are, walking into me!?" A male voice demanded, causing Ichigo to look up.

In front of him was broad man, towering over him, being almost twice his height. He had dark hair which extended downwards to form a chinstrap beard. He wore a hooded-cloak and a calf-length trench coat tied at the waist by a black belt, which has a length of chain on either side attached to a single ring at the back.

"So you're an intruder eh, well I'm glad I came across you. When you go to Hell, tell the weak crowd there that their old friend sent ya, hahaha!" The man announced. "Tell them Driscoll Berci, the Overkill sent ya!" He yelled, as he formed a Reishi Tekkō and threw it at Ichigo, impaling the orange haired teen through the stomach.

Ichigo stood there, unaffected by the attack and felt something. He felt hunger, like he hadn't eaten in weeks, in months and he just couldn't take it anymore. He heard the constant drumming, a beat, bum-bum, bum-bum, over and over again.

"…Shut up…" He said, to himself, as he grimaced as the drumming got louder.

"Wheeeeeewwww! This sucks! It sucks, it sucks, it sucks, it sucks, it sucks, it sucks, it sucks sooooo bad! It sucks so bad to be weak, ain't that right!" Driscoll said loudly, as he formed another Reishi weapon.

Ichigo heard the drumming getting louder and louder, as he felt hungrier and hungrier, he was so hungry it hurt. He froze as he looked at Driscoll, he felt it know, he felt where the drumming was coming from and he felt a familiar pain in his mouth again.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, stay…!" Driscoll began, before Ichigo vanished in a flicker.

Driscoll froze as he felt something on his head, before his eyes moved up. Ichigo was doing a handstand on his head, with his feet pushing against the ceiling. In an instant, Ichigo twisted, snapping the Sternritter's neck.

Still holding onto the Sternritter's head, Ichigo stopped pressing his feet against the ceiling, letting him bend and get back on the ground. Driscoll twitched, as he stared up in shock. Ichigo's eyes gleaned a bright yellow, before he opened his mouth wide, revealing a mouth filled with razor sharp teeth and bit down hard on the man's throat.

A few minutes later, Ichigo was knocking on a door. After a moment the door opened, as a tall young man with long blond hair opened the door, wearing a hooded-cloak. "Ichigo Kurosaki, I'm Jugram Haschwalth…His Majesty's been expecting you…" He said, before he glanced down at the attire Ichigo wore. "Come." He said calmly, as he turned and walked.

The two walked into the large room, with Ichigo seeing a man with long black hair, wearing a long tattered black cloak.

"Hello, my Son." Yhwach said, as he looked at Ichigo. "I see they you don't need to be re-educated for your, connection to the Shinigami." He said. "Tell me, what do you think of the Shinigami?" He questioned.

"Well ah…" Ichigo sounded, as he stepped forward and rubbed his hands together. "…I'm still honing my communication strategy…" He admitted, as he narrowed his eyes and glanced around unsure. "…You know, I haven't even been to Soul Society, I keep thinking there no insects there…" Ichigo said, as he turned a bit. "…but on Earth, they have trillions, you know, they're making honey and silk…." He trailed off, before he nodded and looked at Yhwach. "…Miracles really." He said.

Yhwach raised an eyebrow, as Jugram seemed a bit confused. "…What are you talking about?" Yhwach questioned.

"Uh, preferring insects to Shinigami, I guess." Ichigo replied with a shrug, as he walked up to Yhwach while reaching into his pocket, causing Jugram to tense. "Here, I can offer a token if you would like, its honey…I collected it myself before the storm." He said, as he held a plastic bag of pure honey.

"It's fine, Ichigo, sit. We have much to talk about." Yhwach said, as he cast a glance at Jugram, with the second-in-command nodding.

Somewhere else in Silbern, Giselle, Liltotto and Meninas walked through the large corridors, before one of the walls was blown off. "Oh, well I guess we found her!" Giselle said happily.

Bambietta was adjusting her clothes, as she looked forward. "Guess who's back!?" Giselle announced, as she entered the room.

"Do I look like I care?" Bambietta asked with a scowl.

"That's cold, Bambi-chan." Giselle said with a pout, as she crossed her arms. "I'm going to refer to you as liquid nitrogen now, 'cause that's how cold you are." She said, getting a narrowed eyes look from Bambietta. "…if you were inside a barrel and someone dipped a banana inside you and they dropped the banana on the ground, the banana would shatter…cause that's how cold you are." Giselle said with a dopey smile. "If you were inside a truck, and the truck flipped over and you spilled all over the T-1000 from Terminator 2, he would harden, cause that's how cold you are." She said.

Bambietta glared at Giselle. "I know what liquid nitrogen does!" She said angrily.

"You're so loud." Liltotto said with a sigh, as she looked ab Bambietta.

"You come to my area, and complain about me!?" Bambietta asked angrily, as she glared at the petite blonde.

"There is no reason to get angry." Meninas said, as she glanced around the room and saw a dead guy on the ground and sighed. 'Oh, another one…' She thought. '…I hope she never meets Ichigo.' She thought, before she frowned, wondering exactly why she cared.

"Pfft, like I care." Bambietta replied, as she adjusted herself. "So what was your 'secret mission'?" She asked, as she looked at the three.

"Well, it is a secret…" Giselle trailed off, only for the wall next to her to disintegrate. "…But I'm sure we could tell you." She added.

"We were tasked at recruiting the most dangerous of the Special War Powers." Liltotto informed, as she gave Bambietta a deadpanned look. "So, we did that…what've you done with your life?" She asked dryly.

"Shut up, did you recruit this 'Special War Power'?" Bambietta asked with narrowed eyes.

"Uh-huh." Giselle sounded with a nod, as her eyes sparkled. "And he was just the cutest little thing. I just had to bring him with us!" She informed.

Liltotto gave Giselle a deadpanned look. "You're a fucking psycho." She said dryly.

"Eh, well, that's kinda true." Giselle said with a dopey smile, as she tilted her head to the side.

"Who is he?" Bambietta questioned, as she glanced back at the dead guy in her room.

"Eh, eh, eh, no, no, no…" Giselle said, losing her smile. "…You ain't doin' any of that shit on him." She said. While Meninas and Liltotto stepped away from Giselle. They wouldn't admit it, but Bambietta was technically stronger than them, and could kill them easily. Giselle on the other hand was a sociopath, she didn't care about Bambietta's powers, but she was selfish and she wanted Ichigo. She wasn't going to let Bambietta take what's hers, from her.

"What's the supposed to mean?" Bambietta asked with narrowed eyes.

"I just don't want you attacking, my cutest war power." Giselle said with a dopey smile, as she tilted her head to the side. "What're you gonna do, kill me?" She asked curiously.

"Heh, like I'd care." Bambietta replied, as she crossed her arms.

"That's fine!" Giselle announced happily, while Liltotto and Meninas shared a glance.

Ichigo looked at Yhwach, before he looked down at the cup and drank the contents inside, causing his sclera to go black.

"…With this, the ceremony is over. Your power will awaken soon. I'll give you the Schrift, the 'V' letter." Yhwach said, as he looked down at the sitting orange haired teen. Ichigo looked down and opened his mouth, revealing his mouth was filled with sharp teeth.

Yhwach looked at the young man. 'The ability to become stronger, faster, more durable, when you come in contact with or around blood…to absorb the souls of others by drinking their blood, adding their spiritual power and mind to your own, and being empowered by them all…You embody Madness, the Madness of power, the Madness of Knowledge, the Madness of Fear, the Madness of Order, and the Madness of Anger…and your Spiritual pressure, it carries the aura of madness and insanity, I can feel it trying to enter my head.' Yhwach thought, as he examined Ichigo. "Hmm, 'The Vampire' fits you perfectly." He commented.

"Yeah, my teeth are pointy." Ichigo admitted, before he felt a hand on his head.

"You're a good kid, Son." Yhwach said.

"Yeah, he is." Ichigo agreed with a nod, before he glanced around and tilted his head. "Um, mister McMustache-Man, why are there sleeping people over there?" He asked, as he looked at some dead Arrancar, with no obvious wounds. "It must be nap time! But who has nap time now? Nap time comes before pants time, not after. I think they are making up times." He commented.

"I forgot the clean up the mess." Yhwach said, giving the corpses a displeased look. They were sent to test out the defenses of Karakura town and got their asses kicked, and so he killed them, a few minutes before Ichigo came in.

"I'm going to gather your fellow Sternritters here, and introduce you to them…" Yhwach began.

"Oh, oh, can I go!" Ichigo asked.

"…I'm going to introduce you, so…yes." Yhwach replied.

"Wait, wait, wait, can I help!?" The orange haired teen asked loudly.

"…After I introduce you." The Father of the Quincy said, getting an excited look from the vampiric teen.

A few hours later, Yhwach was standing on a podium, with all of the Sternritters looking up towards their leader.

"…Sternritters, I have something to tell you!" Yhwach announced, before he glanced back. "Come." He said, before someone walked up behind him.

It was an orange haired teen, with unkempt hair and brown eyes. He wore a long, white, double-breasted trench coat, along with white pants and shoes. Over that he wore a white ankle-length cloak over his uniform, with a hood attached to the collar and the ends of the cloak seemed to flare out into ragged ends.

'Oh, he dresses up nice!' Giselle thought, with a smile on her face, a thought that was shared by Liltotto and Meninas too.

Ichigo looked at Yhwach, before he looked away inattentively. The soldiers and the Sternritters looked at Ichigo in shock, seeing him standing on the same level as their leader.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, one of the last true Quincys alive, part Shinigami, part hollow, part Quincy…all the strengths and none of the weaknesses…" Yhwach said, as he glanced at the insane teen. "…I nominate him as my successor." He announced, getting shocked and angry looks from most of the Quincy.

"What did his majesty just say?!" One of the soldiers questioned.

"His Majesty's successor is some…some abomination!?" Bazz-B yelled.

"This 'monster', more like it." Bambietta muttered, as she glared daggers at the orange haired teen. Meninas, Liltotto and Giselle were shocked too, but they were less vocal then Bambietta.

"In the upcoming war, you'll be able to see for yourself, this man's power." Yhwach informed, before he glanced at Ichigo.

"Yeah, okay, I got this!" Ichigo announced, as he stepped forward.

"…Oh God no…" Liltotto said in a deadpan, as she looked at the orange haired teen stepping forward.

"I can't wait." Giselle admitted, while Meninas sighed. Candice looked at them weirdly, before she shook her head and looked up at the podium.

Ichigo coughed a bit, as he looked at large crowd. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here, today, to witness, the joining together of me and the Quincy…" He began, getting the weirdest looks from everyone. "…in eternalness, smuh- speak now, or forever rest in peace! With liberty… and justice… for all." He said, as he looked at the people.

Bambietta, Candice, Meninas, Giselle and Liltotto had the most confused looks on their face, with Bambietta and Candice thinking he was a complete retard.

"Now! If you keep being mean to everyone, everyone will be mean to you! And then, everyone will be mean to everyone all the time, and everything will be bad, and no one will have fun!" Ichigo announced.

"Is this... Is he, trying to give a motivational speech right now?" Candice asked, not believing what she was hearing or seeing.

"Shh, I want to see where he is going!" Giselle said in a loud whisper.

"I mean, come on! Is this really what you want? You just, you just want to be mean and angry all the time? Because that is dumb! And you know what, you are dumb just for thinking that!" Ichigo said, getting a glare from Bambietta, taking it as a personal insult. "So we've had some troubles, and maybe some of us were sad, but you know what? That is okay! Because we're just trying to do something good, and we just made a few mistakes, and we all make mistakes sometimes." Ichigo announced.

"So shut up, and get over it!" He announced, before he paused for almost half a minute. "…Well, my work is done here." Ichigo said, as he turned around and walked off the podium.

"You know, I really hate this guy." Bambietta said with a scowl, she could never see herself liking him or even hanging out with him.

Now

"Bambi-chan, Bambi-chan!" Ichigo announced, as he shook her.

"W-what?" She asked, as she was knocked out of her thoughts.

"It's your time to fight, you're up." Ichigo informed, as he let go of her shoulders.

"I see…Thanks." Bambietta said with a small smile, as she shifted nervously, while she held her stomach behind her cloak.

"What's wrong?" Ichigo asked seriously, as he narrowed his eyes.

"Nothing, I guess I'm just nervous." Bambietta lied, as she shrugged.

Ichigo tilted his head, before he leaned forward and capture her lips with his. After a few seconds, the vampiric teen pulled back and gave her a smirk.

"You've got no reason to be nervous, once this 'Shikamaru' guy gets a look at your strength he'd quit in an instant." Ichigo stated.

"Thanks…and ah…I…L…Love you." Bambietta said with a nod, as she looked at the orange haired teen.

"Pfft, I knew that." Ichigo said with a smirk, as he stepped back from the Explosive Quincy.

"…I just wanted to make sure you knew." She said, as Bambietta headed down to the center of the stadium.


I was incredibly stuck on this chapter, because I built up a lot of expectations on the fight between Naruto and Ichigo. I know some people might be upset that Ichigo didn't kill Naruto, despite the fact it would go completely against what he wanted.

And a lot of people will be upset about the fact Ichigo technically kicked Naruto's ass, while toying with him...well, for those that are upset...I don't care.
