It has been a whole month since Ichigo learned that he was something other than human. A whole month since he learned about Darichi and the fact that he was a Shinma. During that month Ichigo spent training. He learned much about himself and that there were a few Daemons whom were willing to fight with him if he ever needed them. But what troubled Ichigo the most during that month was the sudden deaths of lots of humans. Ichigo couldn't help but to feel that it was the work of those artificially created Daemons. He has been hearing reports that some humans have been found drained of their blood and other humans whom were perfectly healthy just dropped dead for no reason.

I don't like this Ichigo. Clearly they are offering us a challenge. I say that we should find the ones responsible for this and make them pay. snarled Darichi.

Calm yourself Darichi. Everytime we get close to these Daemons, they slip through our fingers. Everybody is looking into the cause of death. Don't worry so much we will find out what is going on. stated Ichigo mentally.

I hope that your right. snapped Darichi. Ichigo rubbed his head as he struggled to keep Darichi under control.

"Having troubles Ichigo?" asked Tōshirō. Ichigo sighed out loud as he shook his head.

"Just troubles with my other half." replied Ichigo.

"Are you two fighting again?" asked Renji. Renji knew that Tōshirō wasn't human and that he was one of the few Daemons willing to help Ichigo out.

"We aren't fighting. He is just irritated. That's all." replied Ichigo as both boys laughed. This caused Ichigo to shake his head.

Later on Ichigo stopped by the hospital to see his father. With his father's connections in the hospital, he could find out the causes of death from the victims that died. Ichigo walked through the hospital saying hello to a few people that he saw as he went towards his father's office. He knocked on the door before he entered. His father Isshin was reading over the reports as Ichigo entered closing the door behind him. Isshin looked up briefly gesturing for Ichigo to sit down.

"So what's the verdict dad?" asked Ichigo.

"I can determine that whatever killed them definitely wasn't human. The ones that had their blood drained had two distinct wounds on their necks. I believe this maybe the work of a vampire." replied Isshin.

"I thought as much. What about the others?" Ichigo asked.

"There's the interesting question. Each person was very healthy and lively. Then suddenly without any explanation, they dropped dead. Upon further examination, it seems that all of their internal organs collapsed upon themselves. Nothing I know of can cause something like that to happen. Which can only mean one thing, Deamons." stated Isshin.

Why am I not surprised? Ichigo we have to find the ones behind this and stop them. I have a really bad feeling about this. Humans are beginning to notice the strange occurrences. stated Darichi. Ichigo got up from his chair placing his book bag down in the corner.

"I won't be home tonight. I have to stop them."

"I understand son, just promise me that you'll be careful." stated Isshin.

"We will!" replied Ichigo as he left the hospital. He hoped to find either Tōshirō, Shūhei, or Yoruichi to tell them what he had discovered. His first stop was the Dungeon dojo where Yoruichi and Shūhei usually stayed at. When he arrived there, they were nowhere to be found. Suddenly for no reason Ichigo broke down into tears as blood tears streaked down his face.

"What the fuck? Why in the Hell am I crying? And why tears of blood?" he asked as his heart felt heavy.

No it can't be possible. How did they manage it? asked Darichi.

"Manage what, what in the fucking Hell happened Darichi?" Ichigo asked.

Ichigo I hate to be the one to tell you this but Shūhei is gone. They have killed a Daemon. I don't understand how its possible. That's what you are sensing and why you are crying tears of blood. When a Daemon you are close to dies, you can feel that bond breaking. Instead of normal human tears, you cry tears of blood. I am sorry Ichigo. explained Darichi. Ichigo collapsed onto his knees smashing a balled up fist to the ground. He managed to dent the ground causing a small earthquake.

"I swear that they are going to pay for this. No more mister nice guy." Ichigo stated angrily as rage and anger made his blood boil.

Meanwhile Kenpachi Zaraki, the vampire and Gin Ichimaru, the Anubis finished off their latest kill in an alley.

Do you honestly think that the Shinma will come? asked Kenpachi as he licked his lips clean.

Considering that we had just killed one of his allies. I think that there is a good chance that we pissed him off. replied Gin. (Kenpachi looks like how he does in the series while Gin has the head of a jackal.)

Good, I have been itching to fight him since he had killed off Zommari, Yammy, and Yamamoto. grinned Kenpachi flashing his fangs. My sword wants to draw out that Shinma's blood.

The sooner we kill him the better as Master Urahara has become quite irritated with us failing to destroy the Shinma. whimpered Gin. Suddenly a bright red ball of energy entered the area as both Kenpachi and Gin lept out of harms way. Both turned quickly to see Ichigo in his full form standing there with Tensa Zangetsu in hand. Both Daemons grinned wickedly at Ichigo.

I have no idea of what you are planning to do but I won't allow you to do it. snapped Darichi.

All we want is a chance to fight you Shinma. That's why we are killing humans, to draw you out. stated Gin.

Come on Gin, less talking and more killing. Ketsueki Tsurugi! stated Kenpachi (this literally means "blood sword" seeing how Kenpachi doesn't know the name of his zanpaktō, I had named it for him. I found the translation online through a sight that translates English to Japanese).

Shinsō! snapped Gin. Both men held out their hands as their zanpaktōs appeared in their hands. Once their zanpaktōs appeared, both men moved attacking Darichi. Sparks flew between the three swords as the two Daemons double teamed against the Shinma. The vampire and Anubis grinned as they attacked Darichi. Careful Shinma, one false move can prove fatal. The slightest touch from Shinsō can cause your death! laughed Gin. Darichi ground his teeth as he knew that the Anubis's words rang managed to get the two of them off of him for a split second by pushing them back thanks to his superhuman strength.

GETSUGA TENSHÕ! snapped Darichi. The black and red wave of energy ripped through the alley heading straight at the two Daemons. But the minute that Anubis swung his sword the wave seemed to die. This caused Darichi's eyes to widen considerably. A sudden gasp caught Darichi off guard as he turned seeing that Kenpachi had Orihime in his claws. Damn it! snarled Darichi. He knew that Ichigo would never forgive him if something happened to Orihime. Tears were within Orihime's eyes as the vampire licked her face.

Come now Shinma. Can you stop us from killing her and protect her at the same time? hissed the vampire. Anger and rage pulsed within Darichi as he could feel Tensa Zangetsu pulsing with power. Gin moved attacking Darichi as sparks flew between the two swords. Darichi could feel Orihime's fears like it was his own as he knew that he couldn't allow anything to happen to happen to Orihime. Watching the vampire have his way with Orihime and sensing her fears caused Darichi's blood to boil. A dark aura erupted from Darichi's body as Orihime pleaded and cried to be freed.

Leave her alone! snarled Darichi deeply as two large black leathery demonic wings ripped out of his back as a long white tail with a black flame tip ripped out of his tailbone. Darichi's fangs lengthened as well as his nails. Darichi could feel Zangetsu's powers pooling together with his. This felt much different from the energy that Zangetsu had given to him before as this felt much more sinister and evil. Words came to his mind as he pushed Gin off of him with great force.

HAKAISHA KYUUTEN! snapped Darichi (literally means "heavens destroyer". It is a new attack that I came up with for Ichigo. I had found the translation online for a sight that translates English into Japanese) as energy ripped from Tensa Zangetsu in a wave of black, red, and blue. Once Darichi released the energy, he moved flying straight at Kenpachi snatching Orihime from his grasp and throwing the vampire into the attack that he ahd just unleashed. Darichi's wings wrapped themselves around himself and Orihime as she struggled to get free. Take it easy, I am here to save you and protect you. I will not let anything happen to you human. stated Darichi. Orihime stopped struggling looking up at Darichi through tear struck eyes. Once Darichi felt the wave disperse, he rose slowly finding Gin had survived the attack although his body was badly burned. Before the Anubis could move, Darichi flew at Gin thrusting Tensa Zangetsu into the Daemons heart. As he ripped the sword out, he cut the Anubis with sword and all in half sending blood and guts flying everywhere. Finally it seemed to be over with as Darichi breathed a sigh of relief while Orihime slowly rose to her feet.

"Who are you and what the fuck were those things?" asked Orihime.

Something that you should forget that you had seen. Don't tell any human what happened and what you saw. stated Darichi as he spread open his wings flying off.
