96 Itsuki vs Amagai (1/2)

Yamamoto's eyes widened in surprise after hearing Amagai. What followed was Amagai's sad story of seeing his father die and how Yamamoto was the one to kill him. How he joined the Gotei 13 and found information, accused Yamamoto with conspiring with the Kasumioji clan to kill his father. After that lengthy speech, it was Ichigo's turn to give one, of how Amagai was selfish…

All in all, Itsuki got bored. This didn't escape Yamamoto's eyes as he sighed to himself,

'This disciple of mine…'

He watched as to how Itsuki moved a couple steps in front of him. His attention was then brought out front seeing Amagai attack and Ichigo block his path of advancement. The two shared a round a blows before Ichigo was slowly pushed back.

”Bankai!”

Ichigo activated his bankai and once more attacked. Amagai's Bakkoto had only nullified Yamamoto's Ryujin Jakka and nothing else. During their clash, Ichigo felt his reiatsu slowly be sealed away.

”Like I said, my Bakkoto seals away a shinigami's reiatsu, the source of their Zanpakuto's power.”

Hearing this, Ichigo replied,

”Getsuga Tenshou!”

Amagai was easily able to block the attacks and make a move of his own. He stabbed his hook like blade into the ground and generated a spout of fire at Ichigo's location. Seeing the latter dodge, Amagai took his blade out and thrust it into the ground, generating another spout of fire at his location. This carried on until Amagai got behind Ichigo while he wasn't paying attention and launched a fireball at his location. Ichigo wasn't prepared for the attack and was hit onto the floor. Seeing him down, Amagai shunpoed in front of Itsuki some distance away.

Despite just landing a faint voice could be heard,

”It's not over yet…”

Looking back, Amagai saw Ichigo struggling to get up. Yamamoto saw this and looked at his disciple…who, for some reason, had a sadistic smile on his face. Feeling Yamamoto's gaze, Itsuki sighed within and knew that it was time for him to step in. Seeing that Amagai was about to land a finishing move on Ichigo, Itsuki finally made his move.

Shunpoing next to him, Itsuki dragged him out of harm's way. Amagai however, didn't notice this and still smashed his weapon onto the ground where Ichigo previously was. The others seemed to also not have seen Ichigo being taken away as Rukia and Rurichiyo screamed.

””Ichigo!!””

Dust flew into the air where Amagai struck his weapon but all that was left was a crater nothing else. Feeling a little odd he looked around only to see Itsuki standing there while holding Ichigo by his scruff.

”Captain Minamoto…”

Itsuki didn't say anything but threw Ichigo towards. As Itsuki started slowly walking forwards, Amagai's eyes widened slightly while he gulped a little. The latter could feel his heartbeat spiral out of control while beads of sweat appear on the surface of his skin. He was once part of the Onmitsukido and for them, the most scariest existence wasn't Yamamoto but rather the man in front of him.

Now seeing that same man walk towards him, fear started encroaching his mind like a disease. However, what helped calm it was the idea of finally getting revenge for his father. Steeling his resolve, he stopped himself from taking that step back and remained firm in his position.

Itsuki had no idea what was going through Amagai's head, but he could see the flames of resolve burning in his eyes. To be honest, Itsuki didn't care as he placed his hands on both his zanpakutos. Seeing his former captain get into stance, Amagai narrowed his eyes and got prepared to defend. With a slight movement, Itsuki disappeared from his peripheral vision which sent a wave of shock within Amagai's head.

Before Amagai could regain his composure Itsuki had already appeared next to him. Appearing in a crouched fashion, Amagai saw a faint crouching dragon and crouching tiger manifest behind Itsuki. With his swords sheathed, the moment he slightly unsheathed them, the two beings' eyes opened, and they pounced.

All Amagai had time to do in that wave of interaction was move his eyes in the direction of Itsuki and barely move his Bakkoto in the Itsuki's swords path. Still, it was all useless as what followed was him feeling a powerful strike land on his Bakkoto and throw him back wards into an intact wall.

What everyone saw there was Itsuki disappearing and the next instant, Amagai being launched into the wall. It was too fast for them to see and the only one that barely saw it was Yamamoto. Yet no surprise was held in Yamamoto's eyes as it was what he expected with his disciple.

Itsuki reappeared next to Amagai's previous position with both his zanpakutos sheathed. He looked in the direction of where Amagai landed and waited for him to come out. The group on the side looked on with wide eyes as Rurichiyo opened her mouth,

”Is it over?”
