Life is War

Unwelcomed Visitor
In the morning, somewhere in a city within Japan, inside an old looking apartment, Rokuro woke up. He recently moved in after being released from the hospital due to his injuries not being too serious, aside from a broken leg that is still not healed. He stretched his arms and looked around, he took a deep breath and let out a sigh of relief "Great....he's not here today" Rokuro said in a relaxed tone and went back to sleep.

"Wake up, blue boy!" A sudden wake up call startled Rokuro, making him summon his spirit weapon and stab the intruder, only to stab Dakar's neck. Though it had no real threat to him, proof by Dakar's present grin. He removed pulled the blade from his neck, allowing it to heal and act as if nothing happened "Good mornin'! How're we this morning? I brought ya some snacks!" Dakar said to Rokuro, only for Rokuro fall flat on his bed after having his hopes crushed in an instant.

After Rokuro was released from the hospital, it was Dakar who introduced him to his new, not so great, apartment which he stays, and since Dakar was the one who caused Rokuro to be hospitalized he feels responsible to help Rokuro everyday until he heals, despite Rokuro repeatedly stating he doesn't want Dakar to come over, at all.

"Why do you keep torturing me?" Rokuro asked in a depressed tone, while Dakar was unpacking all the things he bought for him "Don't be like that. I'm just here showing you how sorry I am for breaking almost every bone in your body and making you a cripple by buying you food" Dakar replied in an ever so cheerful tone, with a slight mix of enjoyment towards how he annoys Rokuro "Snacks don't count as food, dammit! Where do you even get the money to buy them?" Rokuro asked Dakar.

"Well, if you must know, Lottie has been saving money for as long as....a century, I think? And she lets me buy you stuff to eat, and she pays your apartment bill. So be grateful, you blue haired blue eye'd rip off of Naruto's face!" "What?" "Nothin'" Dakar gave an instant reply to Rokuro "You know I'm still not going to forgive her for what she did" Rokuro said, talking about Lottie, and how he will never forgive her for manipulating him "Don't be like that, you saw how guilty she felt. Give 'er a chance" Dakar's tone changed to a more....normal tone "We'll see" Rokuro simply said.

He finished unpacking and sat next to Rokuro's bed "Well, eat up, I gotta go help Han buy some milk for the coffee" Dakar said to Rokuro, Rokuro stared at Dakar in a confused manner "Who now?" "Hmm? Oh, didn't I tell you? I have a job! I'm working at a coffee shop where I buy all these snacks for ya" "Who'd accept a bastard like you?" "Oh, Rokuro, you have no hope in me livin' a life of normal people, do you?" "I'd be more surprised if you joined the mafia" "Shut up. And for your information, the boss, Han, is a very nice guy, and quite frankly a dumbass, but his sister's a hottie! With a big sword that can chop my head off" "I'm starting to wonder if talking to you shortens my IQ" With that said, and the conversation between Dakar and Rokuro ending.

Dakar was about to leave for his job "Oh! Wait! Dakar, can you go get me my zanpakuto?" Dakar turned to Rokuro after hearing his request "Oh? So now you want my help? Sorry, the bar's close" Dakar jokingly said as he was about to close the door "Goddammit! Do you want two of me throwing swords at you!" Rokuro said at Dakar in an angry tone, Dakar's eyes widened as he immediately gave Rokuro his zanpakuto "There! No tell your buddy, that he don't come outta that sword!" "It's a she" "Oh, well, my ba- WHAT?!" Dakar was at shock to know that Rokuro's zanpakuto spirit is a female, though he didn't have much knowledge of the zanpakuto to begin with.

"Did'ja think the gender of the owner and the spirit had to match?" "Noooo~ Maybe....Ummm....She's not gonna...come out....is she?" "Why? You scared?" "Oh no no no, well sorta, don't want two of you after all" "Don't worry, I don't want her out myself. Just leave. I gotta fight her now or else who knows what'd she'll to do me" Rokuro said, ending his conversation with Dakar.

Dakar left Rokuro's apartment and was heading towards a small coffee shop in a small part of the city. It has been a while since Dakar met Kounaki, convinced Rokuro to stop chasing him, and reunited with Lottie, it was a lot of things for him, but now, he has a stable life, a job and no longer has to be afraid of Rokuro chasing him. "I'm gettin' real tired of this late exposition" Dakar said, as he entered the coffee shop.

Inside the coffee shop, there were few tables, enough for a maximum of atleast 20 to 30 people, there weren't many customers either, and there were only two workers, the waitress, Bunko Amano, who wore a Pikachu costume, much to the confusion of the customers. At the stand, where Hanzo Amano, the owner and older brother of Bunko, was doing the dishes and cleaning up. He saw Dakar and waved to him "Dakar! You made it!" Dakar walked to Han and stood infront of him "So, did your friend like the snacks?" "Meh, he's as grumpy as ever, I'd hit his leg to see how it hurts, but I don't think he'd be very grateful for that. I'm surprised he didn't call the cops. Oh wait, I broke his phone" Dakar replied to Han's question "Well, I'll start taking orders" Dakar said and turned around to see Bunko standing infront of him.

"Hi, Duck-chan" Bunko's tone was calm, yet lacked much emotion, simply putting down the plate on the stand for Han to clean and turned back to Dakar "So....Why are you wearing a Pikachu costume?" "We run out of ideas, and original cosplays, so I decided to wear this" "So you're a Pokemon fan? That's....unexpected" "Nah, it was just either this or Snorlax, so I chose the cute little electric mouse" "How do you know their names then?" "I just enjoy reading the arguements of fans over the simple matter of the new gen 5, I just love seeing all the hate they inflict on one another. It's just so sweet" Dakar had no way of replying to Bunko's..."fun" and simply walked to take orders "I'm never going into forums again" Dakar thought to himself.

Unawakening
The next morning, Dakar came to visit again. He saw Rokuro still sleeping and his zanpakuto on top of him "Hey! Wake up! It's 6 A.M. and I'm trying to wake you up earlier than yesterday, you know, 'cause it's Saturday!" Dakar shouted towards Rokuro to try and wake him up, but Rokuro stayed asleep. "Oh? Playing it tough to wake up so that I'll leave, eh? Well, it won't work! I'm stayin' here, because tommorow's Sunday and a day off!" And Dakar did as he said, he remained stationed next to Rokuro's bed for an entire 24 hours without moving an inch.

After 24 hours have passed, he looked at Rokuro and without a second of hesitation slapped him to wake him up "No? Nothing....Okay" Dakar said, got up and closed the door as he left the apartment, only to enter quickly to see if Rokuro woke up when he left, but Rokuro remained asleep. He left, this time without returning until a few hours later with Lottie.

"Hey! I don't think he wants to see me! Please, don't make me do this!" Lottie begged Dakar to let her go as she still feared Rokuro still hates her "Don't worry he's asleep! Now here!" Dakar said and pushed Lottie from the back into Rokuro's apartment. He walked next to her and showed her Rokuro "Look at 'em! He's been like this for a day or more or I dunno, it's been since 6 in the morning since yesterday! I think somethings wrong with him!" Dakar said to Lottie in a somewhat worried tone "What are you saying?! He's dead!" "I don't know! How do I check if his dead or alive?!" "Stop shouting! Your making me panick!" "I'm panicked! So it's only fair we both panick, dammit!" "There are other people here ya know!" "Screw other people! Lottie! Read his mind and tell me if he's dead or alive!" Lottie did not reply to Dakar's last words, she simply looked at him after their panicked shouting "Why didn't you read his mind?" Lottie asked Dakar, as she looked at him suspiciously "Because I need to look into his eyes to do that, and he's eyes are closed, and you can read people's minds and hypnotize them by just touching them. You're better at it! So just do it!" "Did you have to shout that last sentence!" Lottie calmed down after a while.

She put her hand on Rokuro's forehead and closed her eyes, beginning to try and read Rokuro's mind, after an unknown force pushed her away, she openned her eyes in surprise and backed away from Rokuro "What happened?!" Dakar asked Lottie "Someone just pushed me out of his mentality" Said Lottie in a confused tone "What do you mean?" "We should try to go into his mentality to see what's happening to him" "Is it gonna be like that episode of Phineas and Ferb where they entered Candice's mentality? 'cause that shit was just creepy" "No...wait, you watch that?" "I love disney" "Nevermind, it'll take us to his inner world if we push deeper into his mind, or so I think" "Ever tried that" "No...." "Ugh, fine, we don't have a choice and today's sunday, so let's do it before your white haired bodyguard notices I left a letter in your room" "You did what?!" Lottie shouted in surprised at Dakar, who didn't reply at all to her.

Lottie sat down, put her hands on both Rokuro and Dakar's foreheads and closed her eyes. Slowly entering Rokuro's mentality and digger deeper until she reached his inner world, though a slow process, she still managed to reach the image of what Rokuro is experiencing, thus reaching his inner world. Dakar and Lottie openned there eyes and found themselves inside a rainy city, with skyscrapers that all had the lights on within them. They were confused as to what happened.

The Untamed
A sudden explosion that occured behind them showed Rokuro, wearing the clothes her always wore back when chasing Dakar, the same black attire, cape and bandana. He was injured though, appearing to be bleeding from his chest. Rokuro saw Dakar and Lottie who rushed towards him, his eyes widened in shock as he openned his mouth and shouted "What are you doing here?! How did you even get here?! Get out now!" Suddenly, a figure appeared before the three, Rokuro gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but couldn't. Lottie and Dakar reached him as they stared at the figure.

"You...Leave....now....especially....you" Rokuro said, with a hateful glare towards Lottie, only to recieve a slap to the back of his head "Don't be a douche now!" Dakar shouted at Rokuro. The figure emerged from the heavy rain that fell, it was a young woman, with long messy white hair with the edges of her hair being red, a red rose with thorns on her head, she wore black school uniform, her eyes were golden yellow with slitted black pupils, but her most noticeable feature was the red gauntlet that has sharp claws on her right hand.

"Hyakka...don't....please" Rokuro appeared to begging the figure, called Hyakka, to not do anything, she grinned and walked towards them silently "Leave now, dammit! Or she'll kill you!" Rokuro shouted at both Dakar and Lottie to leave now "Why?! Who is that?!" Dakar asked Rokuro "That's...my zanpakuto spirit, Hyakka....she's gonna ki-..." Before Rokuro could finish, Hyakka appeared before the three in an instant prepared to punch Rokuro with her right hand.

Dakar immediately blocked Hyakka's fist with both his hands, as the ground he stepped on broke and a large shockwave sent Lottie and Rokuro away from him, and even made the rain got affected by the shockwave. Dakar grinned towards Hyakka while still blocking her fist "Who may I owe the pleasure to?" "You must be Susy-chan's friend, and the blonde one too" "Pfft! Yeah right! Rokuro's still not accepting her as a friend yet" "Oh? How unfortunate, guess killing her won't have much of an impact on him" Hyakka said, ending her short talk with Dakar.

In the meantime, Lottie saw Rokuro's wound across his chest, it appears to be a severe wound "Quick! Try to stop the bleeding with your cape before it's too la-..." "Don't touch me!" Rokuro interrupted Lottie, glaring at her, though she didn't flinch and slapped him across the face and held him by his collar in rage "I'm trying to help you! If you wanna die do it when I'm not around! Or when you're 80!" Lottie shouted at Rokuro and let go off of his collar, she took off his cape and tore it apart "Raise your arms so that I can wrap it around you" Rokuro was speechless towards Lottie and did as she told him. Lottie wrapped the cape around his wound to try and stop the bleeding "Now look into my eyes, I'm gonna lessen the feeling of pain you have so that it'll be more tolerable" Lottie said to Rokuro.

Dakar stared at the two and back towards Hyakka as the two were seperated and preparing to clash "So what exactly is going on here?" "Susy-chan simply came along to try and tame me, but he couldn't, simple as that" "Tame? I never knew you spirits needed to be tamed" "We don't, I'm just a special case" "S'that so?" "Come and get me if you wanna know more" Hyakka said, taunting Dakar.

Dakar immediately charged towards Hyakka without a second thought, first delivering a punch which she easily dodged by moving to the side, and countering by punching him with her gauntlet in the stomach, to which she was successful. Dakar grabbed her hand with his right hand and quickly punched her in the face with his free left hand "Ha! And they say don't hit women!" Dakar bluntly said.

Suddenly, Dakar's wise widened in surprise as he stared down, seeing a blade going through his stomach and being held by Hyakka's hand that Dakar grabbed "Here it is" Dakar said, quickly jumping backwards and taking the sword with him, pulling it out of his stomach and snapping it in half with his hands "There goes you shikai! Now how're ya gonna summon your lil' blades?" Dakar said to Hyakka.

Hyakka's grin widened as she bursted in laughter, and looked at Dakar, raising her right hand up, summoning many more swords that flew beside her, Dakar was confused as to how she could still use her shikai when he broke it unless "That's not how the shikai works, you need to hold the shikai in one hand to use it...No...can't be" "You catch on fast, this isn't shikai, this is bankai" "I'm screwed" "Literally" Hyakka said as she hurled the blades towards Dakar.

Dakar leaped over the blades as he stared at Hyakka and laughed in a mocking manner. Hyakka pointed behind him, Dakar turned around to see the blades still hurling towards Lottie and Rokuro who weren't noticing them, due to Lottie treating Rokuro. His menacing grin faded as his expression was full of worry. He quickly ran towards them while shouting for them to be careful, they heard and turned around, but they had no time to dodge. As it appeared that they were going to be impaled, Dakar reached them on time, grabbing them from the back of their shirts and throwing them away, being impaled by the blades himself.

"Dakar!" Lottie shouted towards Dakar as a cloud of smoke was being cleared by the rain. Dakar emerged, standing with many blades impaling his body or missed and simply left scratch marking, it was most noticeable that he blocked blades from reaching his heart. Dakar's eyes were full of fear and panick, but quickly changed to red as he joyfully grinned. His blood bursted from his wounds, taking off the blades from his body.

"Hahahahahaha....Tell me, what's gonna happen if we recieve pain in here? I'm curious" Dakar asked Hyakka "Nothing, the wounds won't be on your body, but the painful feelings will. Even if you heal here, all the pain you recieved will strike you all at once, giving a higher chance of killing you, quickly but really painfully" Hyakka finished explanning as Dakar's grin grew ever so wider in joy.

"Dakar, you should be careful in that case or even you will die" Lottie warned Dakar, but instantly remembered who she was talking to was different than the one she knew a century ago "That's right....I forgot how you...became a masochist" Lottie said in a sad tone.

Monsterous Masochist
"Hehehehe~ This is a perfect oppurtunity for this crazy ass fuck to go and take some major risks!" Dakar said and immediately charged towards Hyakka again. However, as he reached her, he extended his arm, creating spear of blood from his hand that he grabbed. He swung the spear towards Hyakak, who quickly launched herself back, with the spear just barely scratching her, though the spear impaled her stomach after Dakar had instantly thrown it at her "Boom bitch!" Dakar said as the spear was beginning to glow red, creating a large explosion.

"For the price of some of my blood and spiritual energy, I can make every drop of my blood a bomb, the power depends on how much spiritual energy I've put into the blood, so I just lost more spiritual energy that blood, fair trade, no?" Dakar said, as Hyakka emerged with half of her left body missing, her arm and stomach, a chunk of her face as well, though her grin remained.

The earth began to break into reishi and went towards her, beginning to shape the missing parts of her body back together, as it appeared good as new. Dakar was surprised to what he witnessed "So, what's your reason for immortality?" Dakar jokingly asked Hyakka "Oh, nothing major, just using reishi to rebuild myself, I am a spirit myself, my body is reishi, so it's only reasonable that what makes me, can fix me" Hyakka said in a cheerful manner.

Hyakka walked towards Dakar as he did so as well "So what's the bankai's name?" " Hyakusen'nen Ikusa" "I'll try to remember that" Dakar said and instantly leaped towards Hyakka, creating an orb of blood in his left hand's palm, hurling it towards Hyakka who blocked with only her gauntlet, though, like the spear, the orb exploded upon contact, damaging both Dakar and Hyakka.

The two didn't back away though and simply began exchanging fists, sometimes they would successfully hit one another, or their fists would clash with one another. They both seemed evenly matched, until Hyakka kicked Dakar's abdomen and quickly kicked his stomach, sending him through a building wall. "C'mon, I believe a guy who lived for over 500 years can do much more than that" Hyakka taunted Dakar, who emerged from the wreckage and charged towards Hyakka.

Trying to deliver a punch, but missed once Hyakka ducked down and delivered a powerful upper cut, though Dakar didn't move from his spot and simply took the full blow. Dakar grabbed Hyakka's head, and slammed her head to the ground, only to have Hyakka tear his arm off with her gauntlet and grab his face. She stood up raising Dakar along as well "Pathetic, I didn't even need to summon any more swords on your sorry ass" Hyakka said to Dakar "Having a female say ass isn't as bad as a man, ya know?" Dakar replied, only to be thrown by Hyakka towards another building wall.

Suddenly, a slash of blood was sent towards Hyakka, which she easily blocked by moving to the side "If you get creative enough with your powers, who knows what you may come up with" Dakar said, as he extended his hand, causing his torn off arm that was next to Hyakka to explode as he regenerated a new one.

Hyakka rebuilt her body as she charged at Dakar, Dakar prepared to attack her, as the two clash, the powerful impact of the two caused a large smoke cloud to emerge. From the smoke cloud, Dakar emerged, running while grabbing Hyakka's head, mercilessly grinding it at the ground, while reaching a building that he slammed her into, but he didn't come out of the other side, as Hyakka attacked him, sending him flying from the top of the building.

The space behind Dakar was getting torn, and while that was occuring, Rokuro began to feel extreme pain "Gyaah! Dammit! Not again!" Rokuro said. From the torn space Hyakka emerged, punching Dakar back into the building, causing it to collapse on him as he reached the bottom.

She landed right next to the wreckage, being confident she won, until a red beam pierced through her stomach. Dakar then emerged after firing the beam at her, trying to deliver a punch while his body was broken and still regenerating, and thus was easily dodged, and recieved a kick to his stomach. But rose and hit Hyakka's face with the back of his hand, curled as a fist, quickly taking this oppurtinity to punch her stomach after it regenerating, then breaking her leg by kicking her knee, then upper cutting her as she fell and finishing with a powerful headbutt to her forehead, sending her away and falling on the ground.

Suddenly, the rain stopped, and Hyakka got up, with her body good as new. Rokuro's eyes widened in shock, seeing the rain stopping but the clouds remained "What's the matter? " Lottie asked Rokuro "It always rained here, why did it suddenly stop?" "Because I stopped it" Hyakka said, glaring at Rokuro from afar "Did you honestly think, this was how your inner world looked like? Now, it didn't rain because of the despair you felt, and why would it? You didn't feel despair for a while, and the building, why would you have buildings in your inner world to begin with? I made all of this. I've been within the souls of many shinigami, but yours was the weakest, so it was the easiest to manipulate and change this enviroment to suit my liking, that's how I can also tear the fabric of space of your inner world" Hyakka explained to Rokuro, who was shocked and speechless to how he was tricked by his own zanpakuto spirit.

Hyakka extended her hand and began to tear the fabric of space, causing Rokuro more pain "Dakar, stop her! She's hurting him!" Lottie shouted to Dakar, who tried to stop Hyakka before she entered the torn space and disappeared. "Teleportation? No, those are portals she creates whenever she tears the space in here, interesting" Dakar thought to himself.

The Wounded Spirit
Hyakka appeared behind Dakar trying to impale his heart, knowing full well that's his weakness, but Dakar quickly block her by stopping the sword with his bare hand, pulling her towards him and grabbing her neck "Got'cha bitch!" Dakar shouted as he slammed Hyakak to the ground "Now, I'm curious again, why are you doing this to your owner?" Dakar asked Hyakka, Hyakka giggled as she asnwered him "Because I'm tired of living" Dakar's eyes widened in shock of her answer as hundreds of blades pierced through his stomach, leaving a large hole.

Hyakka punched Dakar away from her with ease and stood up as he regenerated "I'm tired of being treated like I'm nothing but a weapon, I've lived for much longer than you have, I've been in many places, passed down, ever since my very first partn-...No, ever since my first owner lived, giving me to his first born child when he was about to die, and it repeated itself, again and again and, what a surprise, again, as if I was nothing but an emotionless weapon" Hyakka said, her toned sounded as if she was hopeless and depressed, which she was.

Dakar stood up, however, he didn't grin, nor did he have a mad expression on his face, he was actually shocked hearing Hyakka's story, but more by how she was "tired" of living "Then why now of all times, are you trying to kill your owner?" Dakar asked Hyakka, to which she replied "He isn't as powerful as the previous, he's half human, and humans are easy to kill, after all" "Don't lie to me!" Dakar gritted his teeth in rage "I know Rokuro's parents died as a child! That...was the perfect oppurtunity to kill him....when he had no guardian...no powers...and was merely hopeless....explain to me....Why didn't you kill him back then?" Hyakka's face went blank, she had no way to reply to this, but unlike Dakar, her face became....emotionless.

In a blink of an eye, she grabbed Dakar's face with her left hand, slamming it to the ground, creating a small crater, as it began to rain again. Hyakka's face was shadowed by the dark weather, as she raised her right hand, red energy began to appear on her gauntlet "I'm not afraid of you, so just answer me..." Dakar said to Hyakka, only for her eyes to show a joyful expression and a grin to emerge on her face "Shut. Up." Hyakka said as she stood up and punched Dakar's stomach, the red energy created an enormous explosion and increased the crater's size.

Hyakka stood victorious over Dakar as she walked away "Now...Susy-chan~ C'me-..." Hyakka stopped as she felt Dakar's presence behind her, his eyes grew red as his black spiritual energy surrounded him. He delivered a punch to her face, sending her flying away from her. Hyakka stood up, grinning even wider than before "What's this? You survived? How?".

Dakar sighed and replied "My regeneration is much greater than that of an average Reikon Kyuuban, I can survive several great injuries, but I can't reproduce blood, so it's sorta worthless to go all out and lose blood...but no here...." Dakar's grin returned to his face "Here....There are no consequences....this is where I should enjoy myself!" Rokuro and Lottie stared at Dakar, fearing he may be going back to his old psychotic self "...But now....I want you to answer me, why didn't you kill Rokuro, when he was the most vulnerable?" Hyakka did not reply and remained silent.

She summoned a sword which began to emit red energy "How can you do that?" Dakar asked "Chaos....it is the one thing that the shikai is missing, the great destruction and havoc it brings on others, simply called chaos, this is what this energy is" "....Wow...what a rip off"  Dakar said before dodging a large slash of chaotic energy.

Staring back, Dakar saw the immense damage it caused, taking an entire chunk of the ground and cutting a building in half, yet the slash was still going and blew up from afar "What the...?" Dakar turned to see Hyakka before him, stepping on his face and preparing to fire a beam of chaotic energy at him point blank range.

Dakar began to release blood from his body and formed as arms that hit Hyakka from the side, sending her flying, however, before Dakar could prepare himself, Hyakka stood firmly and fired a beam of chaotic energy at him, which was surprisingly easy to dodge due to the beam's small size that held great destructive power. Hyakka appeared before Dakar in a blink of an eye swinging her sword at him, which he blocked with a sword of blood, that came from the palm of his hand.

Hyakka created a second sword that she telekineticly controlled and slashed Dakar's chest open, though the blood that sprayed out quickly came back in and bursted out as many spiked that sent Hyakka far from Dakar. The spiked blood returned to its liquid form and entered Dakar's body.

The Horrors of Life
Hyakka stared at Dakar and summoned many more swords that she hurled at him, Dakar blocked several swords with his blood made sword, and grabbed another to block other swords, though the sword was knocked off of him, and was impaled in the stomach, making him turn his blood sword back to its liquid form, luckily, the storm of swords ended as Hyakka appeared before him "How are you this fast?!" Dakar asked in shock of Hyakka's speed, and she replied "I'm not, I just rearrange the inner world to change my location, so it's basically the world moving without you noticing". Dakar grabbed a sword that laid next to him and tried to slash her with, only to have it phase directly through her.

He then let go of the sword and pulled out the one that impaled him to try and slash her with it "It doesn't matter if you use a different sword, all of my swords will phase right throu-..." Hyakka stopped as her eyes widened in shock to see her own sword slash her chest. Dakar swung the sword back to try and slash her again, however, the sword broke to pieces before it could reach her head.

"How...?" Hyakka was confused as to how Dakar was capable of cutting her with her own weapon that was supposed to phase her. Dakar laughed as he stood before her and allowed he to regenerate and he did so too "My blood covered it, so naturally the liquid that took the shape of the object, didn't phase you, it was my blood after all" Dakar replied.

Hyakka began to laugh and so did Dakar "This isn't going as well as I thought it would...." Hyakka said, in a calm manner "Then just answer me, and maybe I'll go a tad bit easier on you" Dakar offered Hyakka a chance to have an easier time "Ah, screw it, if you really wanna know then fine" Hyakka said, accepting to answer Dakar's question.

Rokuro however shouted to Dakar "Don't let her touch you! She'll use Zetsubou!" Dakar heard and immediately had a shocked expression, but it was too late, Hyakka grabbed Dakar's face and whispered "Zetsubou" Which instantly struck the deepest parts of Dakar's mentality. Hyakka released Dakar to experience the horrors he was about to see "Let what's left of your sanity be erased".

Dakar stood up in shock, sweating as he looked around, he knew what was coming, as this was the third time this technique was used one him, however, this time, it was in bankai and not shikai, hence he had to be careful. Turning around he saw multiple dead corpse, the corpses of all he knew, Rokuro, Lottie, and even Kounaki, but also those of people he knew and already died in the past, in the same condition their bodies was left after their dead, even his parents' decapitated corpse. The others who were still alive, were all beaten and bloodied, to the degree that it even disgusted Dakar. Their dying screams were like screeching through Dakar's ears and painfully torturing him.

This illusion reflected Dakar's feelings of guilt towards those he couldn't protect and those whom he hadn't protected "No....Damn....you....." Dakar fell on his knees and his eyes began to be in tears "Enough....don't use them....against me..." While Dakar was experiencing this terrible illusion, everyone else saw his reactions and how he moved.

"Stop...." Dakar stood up as he stared at his hand "Stop using....the people that I love and cared for....as if there nothing but a torture device...." Dakar said as he began to feel rage, and without a second of hesitation, he bit his own arm and began to tear off the flesh from it including parts of his shirt's sleeve, he fell on his knees as the illusion began to harm him more, but he didn't stop, he grinded his arm on the ground, tearing the flesh off slowly and painfully.

Everyone watched in shock, and Lottie covered her mouth from the terror she was seeing. The pain Dakar felt from his flesh torn off released him from the illusion. Though he was still sweating, he stood up, his left arm...had no more flesh, all that's left is the meat and the bones were visible, Dakar stared at his hand, the arm did not regenerate its skin, as Dakar didn't allow it, to allow the pain to remain "You...." Dakar glared at Hyakka with wrathful eyes "You...bitch....Just wait...till I get my hands on you...! I don't care about your reasoning anymore....! I'm just going to kill you!" Dakar shouted in rage as he rushed towards Hyakka who grinned at him "Show me then!".

The two clashed with their fists, Dakar with his fleshless arm and Hyakka with her gauntlet, however, Dakar instantly walked closer to her and punched her with his free hand, Hyakka then countered by kicking his abdomen but without any effect as he shrugged it off and generated a glowing blood orb in his mouth that fired as a powerful beam of energy that hit Hyakka in point blank range.

Hyakka emerged with her body and clothes rebuilt and punched Dakar to try and send him away from her, though he remained firmly at his spot. Brutally kicking Hyakka in the stomach and punching her with his left arm, leaving blood on her face after hitting her due to having no flesh. Dakar then grabbed Hyakka's neck and slammed her to the ground as he began to generate another red orb in his mouth. Hyakka's eyes widened and quickly fired hundreds of blades from the side of Dakar to take him off of her, but while he was sent away he fired the beam which successfully hit close to Hyakka.

Dakar created four wings of blood and to knock away the swords, absorbing the blood back into his body and charging towards Hyakka. Hyakka emerged from the cloud of smoke "You...!" Hyakka said in an angered tone. As Dakar was about to punch her with his right hand, she blocked his fist with her gauntlet "You...! I will....I WILL FUCKIN' BREAK YOU!" Hyakka shouted in rage as she swung a sword with chaotic energy, slashing a large portion of the city within the inner world, and also the right arm of Dakar.

Dakar quickly regenerated, ignoring the explosion behind him and the immense destruction as well and simply proceed to attack Hyakka, Hyakka threw her sword at him, which he allowed to pierce through him. Hyakka prepared to punch Dakar with her right hand only to have him catch her fist and deliver a punch with his free hand, though it was caught by her as well, the two then headbutted one another, and didn't move from their spot.

Hyakka began to summon swords around them as the two began to release their spiritual energy, Dakar's black spiritual energy engulfed him and Hyakka's red spiritual energy sent a destructive vibe. The two shouted as the amount of swords being summoned around them in the air increased and all pointed towards them. Hurling at them at once, creating a smoke cloud as they hit the ground with great force. The two jumped from the smoke cloud, with swords stabbing parts of their bodies, but nowhere lethal. Hyakka then destroyed all the swords, including the one that stabbed Dakar and herself, and summoned many more swords and hurled them towards him.

Death
Dakar quickly recovered and charged towards Hyakka, ignoring the swords being hurled towards him, as he ran into the swords. Being slashed, stabbed, impaled bit by bit by them. And as he appeared to emerge from them, Hyakka fired a beam of chaotic energy at him, creating a large explosion and a smoke cloud. It appeared that Dakar had lost. Suddenly Dakar's left arm emerged from the smoke cloud, and so did Dakar, Hyakka quickly summoned a sword and stabbed Dakar's....heart...

Despite Dakar being stabbed in his heart, his still tried to reach Hyakka, as he was blinded by rage, ignoring the large damage his body recieved, his body being torn in pieces, his right arm and left leg missing, the flesh of his chest torn off, revealing his lungs and parts of his skeleton. His eyes turned back to yellow, as he slowly became weaker. His hand fell as Hyakka pulled the sword out, allowing Dakar to fall on the ground facing it.

Dakar's eye slowly closed as he stared at Lottie, seeing her crying and shouting towards him....but he couldn't hear it, he couldn't hear how she was screaming to him this entire time....he was too focused on killing Hyakka and was so full of rage....that is just slipped by. Dakar's eye closed, and he...had...died....

Hyakka stood next to his corpse, her face was blank "You're strong...I'll admit that...being able to piss me off is...not easy....You did well, but you still couldn't win..." Hyakka said, showing some respect towards Dakar as she walked towards Lottie and Rokuro "And if you can't win, then neither can they do....".

Hyakka appeared before Lottie and prepared to stab her between the eyes "Hyakka! No!" Rokuro shouted as Hyakka was about to strike Lottie, though she suddenly stopped as the blades tip was an inch close to touching Lottie. "Throw it away" Lottie said, and Hyakka obeyed, she threw her sword away. Lottie stood up staring at Hyakka in the eyes, now it was clear, Hyakka was hypnotized by Lottie when she stared at her.

But when it appeared Lottie had her under control a sword went through her heart, Rokuro stared in shock, as Hyakka grinned "I adapted and resisted your hypnosis when you used it on Susy-chan, I grew immune to it, I hope you enjoyed feeling in control...while it lasted" Hyakka said and Lottie's dead body fell on the ground.

Hyakka walked towards Rokuro, as he was on the ground still weak from his battle against her "Speechless, eh?" Hyakka said "No surprise, I'm your zanpakuto spirit, but I just killed two people who cared for you and one of them knew you hated her, but she still insisted on helping you. I wonder how that feels?".

"Why....?" Rokuro began to speak "Why...didn't you kill me...when my parents died.....?" Rokuro's question angered Hyakka as she kicked him "I felt...I couldn't bring myself to do it! Okay! There's your answer! Seeing a pathetic, cry baby like you! Crying to the graves of your parents! How could I bring myself to kill you when you were that sad?!" Hyakka finally answered the question.

Crossed Swords
"Onee-chan...." Rokuro said in a weak tone. Hyakka summoned a sword "Don't call me that anymore. It'd make the pain lessen" As she was about to swing her sword, Rokuro stood up, and swing his Shikai first, his face had a raged expression. Hyakka blocked Rokuro's swing "Onee-chan! There! I called you that! Now why did you try to kill me now of all times?! Is it because I'm an adult?!" Rokuro shotued at Hyakka. The two began to push one another back "You wanna know that much?! Fine! It's because when you were beaten senseless by Dakar is when I realized I was helping you when I originally didn't! All I want is to die! A peacefull death! I couldn't commit suicide and abandon you! So I'm taking you with me now!" Hyakka replied in shouting to Rokuro.

Hyakka summoned several swords behind Rokuro and hurled them at him, Rokuro threw one silver tube and casted a Ginto spell, creating a shield that blocked the swords while he held Hyakka with only one hand. Hyakka leaped back from Rokuro.

Generating chaotic energy in her sword and charging towards Rokuro, Rokuro summoned his spirit weapon in his free hand as he generated reishi in it and charged as well. The two clashed swords with one another, Hyakka with her single sword coated in chaotic energy and Rokuro with his two swords, his shikai and his spirit weapon.

The two then swung their sword, sending slashes of energy that collided and created one explosion and a smoke cloud. Rokuro emerged from the smoke cloud and swung his swords towards Hyakka who blocked them with her own, but was getting pushed by Rokuro "Stop this now! You have no reason to die!" Rokuro shouted at Hyakka as he pushed her away "Yes I do! I am tired of being used as a tool and a weapon by others and nothing more!" Hyakka replied "No! You're not a tool or a weapon! You're my Onee-chan, dammit!" Hyakka's eyes widened to Rokuro's last statement and then her expression became rageful.

She pushed Rokuro away from her and slashed his forehead, cutting the bandana off but leaving a wound on his forehead that went across his right eye, leaving him with only his left eye. The two panted and stood before one another.

Hyakka threw away her weapon and began to generated chaotic energy in her gauntlet. Rokuro generated reishi in both of his swords, as the two were ready to clash one more time. And they did. Shouting in rage as the two clashed, a large shockwave created a crater under them. The two tried to push another back, even Hyakka, with only her gauntlet and Rokuro with his two swords couldn't overcome one another. Cracks became visible in each others weapons, even Hyakka's bankai, her gauntlet, was starting to crack, in the end, Hyakka's gauntlet was pierced by Rokuro's spirit weapon, which broke from the chaotic energy.

Hyakka then punched Rokuro's stomach, Rokuro countered and swung his sword at her, but Hyakka blocked it with her gauntlet and broke it in half, and kicked it away from his hand, sending it flying high up. Rokuro had no weapon, and the victor was obvious. Hyakka punched Rokuro repeatedly, his chest, his stomach, his face and the more she did, the more cracks appeared in her gauntlet, her final hit, was from above Rokuro's head, and as she hit him, her gauntlet shattered to pieces.

Rokuro fell on the ground, blood began to spill from his head as it was obvious he died. The shikai fell towards Hyakka, she grabbed it and impaled it at the ground right infront of Rokuro's face. Her appearance changed back to her shikai form, with black hair, a black dress and a cloak. Tears began to be visible as they ran down her cheeks. She let go off the shikai's hilt and walked away from the destruction and the dead corpses.

Awakening
Suddenly, Rokuro, Lottie and Dakar woke up in Rokuro's apartment, alive and well, with no damages or feelings of pain. "What...just happened?" Dakar asked, confused of the situation "Was that a dream...?" Lottie asked "I couldn't have been...Dakar!" Lottie said as she happily hugged Dakar after seeing him die before her eyes. "Lottie? What...Rokuro?" Dakar said, looking at Rokuro as he stared at his zanpakuto.

"Hyakka, Hyakka answer me. Hello!" Rokuro tried to talk with Hyakka, who was simply lying on the ground within the inner world as it rained on her. "Onee-chan....Answer me....what happened?" Rokuro kept asking her. Lottie and Dakar left Rokuro alone, it was already dark outside after all and was getting late.

"I...I'm sorry" Hyakka replied to Rokuro after Dakar and Lottie left "You don't have to...forgive me....I was....just so stupid...." From the sound of Hyakka's voice it was clear she was crying "I...I forgive you...please, don't cry...." Rokuro said to Hyakka, comforting her "I absorbed all the damage, if I ever leave this inner world, all the pain you recieved, you, Dakar and Lottie...will all hit me...and I'll die...now you don't have to worry about me escaping" Hyakka said to Rokuro.

Rokuro smiled and put his zanpakuto down "Onee-chan..." "Yes, Susy-chan?" "Can you teach me how to make a lock so that Dakar can't enter my apartment" "When your leg gets better, I promise" "Thank you, Onee-chan" Rokuro said to Hyakka, ending his conversation with her and going to sleep.
