The Battle of Memories: Oichi and Ikki

The Battle of the Lost
Over looking the valley of screams a lone figure, a woman walking in a drunken like state rocking back and forth as she walked. Her hair swinging from side to side hiding her face, with her talking to herself she began to walk through this strange place.

"My what is this place, oh how nice I can hear it. It wants to me to go into, why is something telling me come here." This woman said in a disturbing child like voice and in her movements the woman, began to walk more. Her own presences seemed to be a dark and mysterious one at that, she kept talking to herself.

Resting in his throne of Blanks the self proclaimed King of Blanks looks down at a random rock formation and notice something very odd and very unexpected a person in the Valley of Screams? This was odd since he was the only other in the Valley of screams with a personality or was this another soul reaper here to kill him.

Getting up from his throne Ikki looks around at the blanks and pointing to a small group of blanks then says "you three Blanks kill yourself i need to have a little fun or I shall just get board again" turning to one another the blanks then turn back to their king and the all three explode destroying them selfs.laughing at this Ikki says "ha ha great performance of loyalty maybe next time I shall set you all on fire that should be more fun."with that odd display of cruelty Vormav runs off to attack this new person.

This woman that was roaming around, seemed to have her back turned to the others as she went looking around the strange place. This woman named Oichi, seemed to be singing a song as she walked among the rocks and landscapes.

"The white of flesh, the white of bone. You wish to hear what seeds the devils sew, you go to knee before the kine. You go off to hear the devil sing." Oichi had begin singing as she started to feel something different, it was not a normal blank.

'It looks like a little playmate is coming to see me, oh how nice. I finally get to see a friend......." Oichi said in a lower growl like voice, she seemed to her noticed that someone was coming to her. Oichi turned around with her hair flying around in a full cricle motion, her own face began to have a little smile on it. Although she seemed to be in an unconscious state. Her head titled to the side, as her eyes half shut and her smile remaining.

Traveling atop the large cannon rocks skipping from each one with ease with simple leaps ikki finally arrives at the Location he had seen the person walking around looking down he notice that this person is directly below him and that it's not a normal blank but something was off about this person.

Pushing that thought out of his head ikki Leaps down from the rock formation forming a chain of blanks out of his left hand ikki uses this chain and his momentum to slam the ground right where the person would be at destroying the ground all around him and his target.

"You shouldn't be so mean to Ichi, its not nice to hurt a doll. Mister baggy pants, no not at all. Ichi can be mean when she is hurt, she feels nothing and she loves to play games with mister baggy pants. Now tell Ichi why do you want to hurt a doll?" Oichi said talking in 3rd person, with her low growling in her voice and looking at the man. She did manage to jump back from the rocks that were coming at her, but she did fall to the ground from her jump. As she fell down, the darkness that was around her feet did a very terrifying thing. It seemed that the darkness started to form into arms, grabbing onto Oichi they picked her up. LIke a rag doll, these arms placed her feet onto the ground as she still had her head lowered down. She then began to swing back and forth at mister baggy pants tricks.

"The white of flesh, the white of bones. Mister baggy pants is going to be blown away, Ichi shall play with mister baggy pants. She is always a good doll, yes Ichi is." Oichi said as she began to walk to the man known as Ikki, her hair covering her face.

A little confused on how a girl had made it into the valley of screams let a loan this girl as crazy as she is. Then he hers her call her self Ichi. Then Ikki says "so your name is Ichi?? What are you doings in the Valley of Scream i thought you where a soul reaper here to attack me again.my mistake its clear your not a soul reaper now so do i kill you now or later\" with a smile on his face after asking that question Ikki almost look as if he was happy that it was not a soul reaper.

"No Mister Baggy Pants, ichi's name isn't Ichi, Ichi doesn't know. Ichi is a very good girl, she is a very good doll and she doesn't want to play with you anymore mister baggy pants. Ichi was running running from the beach, she seen humans Ichi doesn't like humans. They say they are scared of Ichi, then Ichi screams for someone. Ichi found someone, Mister Baggy Pants will become Ichi's new friend she promises to be nice to her new friend." Oichi said as it seemed that some of the blanks started to gather around Oichi, noticing this Oichi went into in a panic. She screamed as she had one of her "attacks", grabbing onto her head. Oichi got on her knees screaming in pain, Oichi speaking about some random people on a beach she seen.

Watching as the random Blanks start to gather around this girl and her reaction to the blanks Ikki notice that the blanks only reacte to himself because he has a memory but this girl is some has a fare more affect on the blanks drawing them to her without even thinking with a smile Ikki points his right hand at the gathering Blanks and slowly absorbs them into his body.

As he stays motionless Ikki sees the blanks passed lifers or memory of there passed lifers rush into him this group was made out of lost souls that had been trap in the dangai and lost forever as blanks, But then as their memory rush into him he starts to see something odd as they were near this girl they had seen there, old memory this girl was not normal by any means she was the Memory Rosary!

The prize he had always search for was within his grasp this was destiny and it was all for him. As the last of the memory rush into him and the blanks all vanish Iikki blinks once and then focusing on this girl Ikki says "so you wish to be my friend ok then follow me and I will lead you to a safe place away from all the blanks in this area. " reaching out his hand to this scared girl Ikki planed on simply capturing her and using her power to restore all his old memory so he could return to his old life.

"......." Oichi looked up at Ikki who had extend his hand out to her, she then titled her head to the side.

"You want to her Ichi, your not allowed to do that or Mister Baggy Pants will become a doll just like Ichi, Ichi is going to be a good girl. She will show him a fun time, Ichi will be a good friend, she will not follow you Mister Baggy Pants. Ichi will be good and to where she wants to." Oichi said as she turned and walked away rocking back and forth for a time, looking through the Valley of Screams as more Blanks started to follow her.

Growing more and more aggravated as each moment this Girl walk away from him Ikki starts to think that if he could remove a leg or two she could not stop him from taking back his memories. Then moving his left hand to his side ikki says "one way or the other you will do what i ask of you." then slowly Ikki lowers his hands to his side and then using a single blank in both his hands Ikki molds three small spider blanks that are no larger then a inch in size. then with that the six spiders jump off his hands and started to crawl to the gril where if they made contact with her in any way Ikki's hypnotic abilitys could be used on her. using there small bodys to there advantage the 6 spiders all jump at this girl from all diffrent locations using the high rock formations around her to attack from all sides.

"Ichi doesn't like this game, lets play another game. Mister Trunks, Ichi knows hehe. Lets play a go of hot ball hehe, around around they go and where they will stop only Ichi knows hehe." Oichi said laughing as she seen these spiders coming at her, the darkness around her began to form arms and grabbed onto the six creatures come at her. Oichi then spun around, with the arms going in a windmill like motion throwing them at Ikki. Get closer and closer, Oichi laughed at what the creature will do to Ikki. Although with her spin Oichi fell to the ground, because of her drunken like state.

Seeing this odd counter to his spider bombs Ikki had known choice but to avoid the bombs at all cost. Quickly triggers all the spider's to explode will they were still a little distance away from him. Leaping back and using the explosion as cover Ikki molds the last of his blanks into a large Firefly that he uses like a board jumping on its back he fly into the air over head and now the real fun would start with an over head advantage.

Using this to his advantage Ikki see's a group of ten wondering Blanks below him so he uses his absorbing ability to pull them up to his location and take them into his body.once again he looses himself in memory of the blanks seeing a family hiking trip a family with feelings and memory this only fueled Ikki's rage evens more to get this memory rosary for himself. Once the memory finish Ikki finds the girl below and once more molds two blanks into six small birds that fly out of his hands and all dive at this girl's location. Smirking as he uses his molding skill to set these birds on impact explosions so no matter what happened this time they would explode next to this girl if she tried to do the same counter

"Mister Trunks, that will be your new name. Did you enjoy your trip with your children on your hike, I see your wife enjoyed herself as well right mister trunks? You shouldn't be so mean to Ichi, Ichi will play a song in your honor." Oichi said as she had some kind of connections to the memories that Ikki seen, as the dark arms grabbed onto Oichi. She raise her arms with her flute in hand and began to play a hit pitched sound, very annoying to the ears. As the sounds waves came to the spider like creatures, it caused them to expolde in mid-air. Although playing her flute Oichi, did get caught in the blast as she was in the middle of the blast. When the blast cleared Oichi seemed to be unharmed a few scrathes here and there, but not to bad. Oichi started to rock back and forth her hair in her face. As she started to make her way to Ikki, she lifted her head up and Oichi's eyes had no pupils only the white. Which could creep out any man and send atleast a chill down their spine, Oichi began to run at Ikki. Her own body and arms swinging as Oichi was being controled by something, but it was an uneasy feeling that something inside Oichi was fueling this madness.

"Mister Trunks it time for you to go back with those people, Ichi shall make it so." Oichi said as she stuck out her tongue to the side, drull coming out of her mouth. She began to huff and puff like a dog running at Ikki, with Oichi's nails growing loner become blades. She through her arms back and then swung them foward at Ikki, aiming for his chest to stabb him.

'Its time to sleep mister Trunks." Oichi said."

Hearing this girl talk as if she had seen his memory from before that impossible even for the memory rosary this cannot be possible. Seeing this girl move though the explosives with ease this scared the crap out of Ikki almost to the point of retreating this girl was not going to make a moran out of him not Ikki the king of Blanks he would show her what he could do.

Seeing this girl get closer with each step Ikki molds two blanks into six more birds this time with timers of six seconds (one of my post after it has been release.) then using the Firefly he is standing on Ikki orders it to crash into the girl and explode. Jumping of the firefly as it rushes at this girl Ikki spins in the air and releases the birds in all directions letting them fly just out of this Girl reach darting around her avoiding the shadow attack she has been using in a hope of revealing any weak points she cannot avoid.

Seeing that she couldn't really escape, Oichi raise her flute to her mouth again and began to play it. In a low pitch, which effect the blanks as well, the blanks that Ikki had under his control still listened to him that were formed into these creatures. Oichi took control of 5 blanks from the surrounding area, making them form a beast like thing. With this beast, Oichi pointed to the creature with ikki riding it. The monster grabbed onto the creature, holding it back. But sadly Oichi was attacked by the small creatures that came onto her, expolding. She managed to stop the firefly, but was hurt by the birds.

Still falling to the ground Ikki uses five of his last Blanks and then hold his hands together the blanks all started to take shape into a large mass of white blob around Ikki's hand then once he release it a large surge of spiritual energy rushes out of his hands and into the blob allowing it to grow into a massive new shape of a Dragon. Using Flash step Ikki moves onto the Dragons back and once more Fly out so to gain more of a distance advantage watching the explosion cloud from the birds hitting the girl Ikki takes his time to take a breather and watch if his explosives had any affect.

"Ichi thinks your being mean Mister Trunks, Ichi thinks that you have to stop with those birdys. Ichi thinks it would think if we make them go boom in your body hehe." Oichi appeared behind Ikki, with her eyes pure white as her tongue hanging from the side of her face. Drulling on Ikki's shoulder, as she rested her head on Ikki's shoulder. Although Oichi was not really effected by the expoldsion.

"Ichi thinks she wants to play with you more, can Ichi have a fun time with you?" Oichi said as her tongue started to warp her tongue around Ikki's neck much like a snake warpping around its prey. She started to run her hand down Ikki's side, knowing that atleast Ikki would react someway to this treatment.

Frozen in place unable to comprehend that this girl had just out class him even with his best explosives and that she had some how had more speed then even he could use with his flash step.with this girl drulling on his shoulder Ikki had no choice but to use his last resort in a last ditch attempt at winning this fight he would set the dragon that they where both on to explode and attempt to free himself from this freak of nature or whatever she was.

Grabbing hold of the Girl's arm and tongue Ikki uses his ability to manipulate the Blanks inside the Dragon and sets them to explode.the explosion was like nothing Ikki's other blank art explosives could even compare to the shear volume of power that was sent out from the explosion was easily able to leave a Crater over one mile wide in all directions.

As the smoke clears Ikki is clearly seen falling to the ground or what left of him only half of a body was left but he was still alive.landing on the ground in the middle of the Crater Ikki reaches out with his last spiritual energy and forces all the Blanks in the area to come to his aid and absorb into his body repairing his body but not all his energy that little stunt was all he had left in him if this girl was still alive he would be at her mercy,with no will left to fight Ikki lays on the ground broken and in a deep depression.

'Ichi didn't like that expoldison, your mean mister Ikki. Ichi wishes that you were nice to her, if you would have been nice to Ichi she could have been a friend to you." Oichi's voice could be heard, but Oichi was not seen in sight. It has happened that in the expoldison she was damaged badly as well, with burns running all across her body and half of her clothes missing. She began to walk out of the smoke, hardly able to walk she then fell on the ground as she was forced to crawl over to Ikki. Missing an arm, Oichi dragged herslef with her left arm as the creature Oichi make came to her aid as well. Picking her up and laid herself beside Ikki, as Oichi seemed to have smiled as the creatured turned back into blanks and started to restore her body. Until she was mostly healed, she did have mass burns so she could not move much. She used his dark arms to warp around Ikki, knowing that he has been badly injured as well. Hoping to getting him pinned down, Oichi crawled over to Ikki and strangely laid her head onto his chest and started to fall asleep. Oichi's last words before she went to sleep on Ikki, seeming to warp her arms around his chest.

"Ichi has found a new friend and now friend let Ichi sleep, if you don't Ichi's other friends will hurt you hehe. Good night dear Ikki" Oichi said as she went into a deep sleep on Ikki.

unable to move a inch with this girl sleeping on him Ikki says " To think i was beaten by this girl its odd that she can control Blanks like myself but she shows much more mentaly link with them and there memorys then i could ever attempt." With no reason to move Ikki falls asleep also and for the first time in his long life as a Blank he had a dream of his human life when he was still alive on earth.

A Looming Threat
After the battle between Ikki and Oichi, Oichi still sleeping on Ikki's chest hearing a heartbeat. Oichi awoke to its sounds, she got up and then laid her head back on Ikki listening to the heartbeat. She was fascinated by his beat, it sounded different for Oichi. With a simple childish smile coming onto her face, Oichi began to sing again trying to wake Ikki up.

"On the road does this call, down into the world below. You go warn the king, but you wish to hear the devil sing with the heartbeat of king. They ring throughout the lands, all bow to them and oh great king Ikki. Ichi wishes for you to leave this scary place. Heh." Oichi began to sing, as she started to shake Ikki gentlely just for him to wake up.

Waking up to a song sung by this odd girl with her head on his chest Ikki opens his left eye and says "you never did really say your name what is it or do i just call you girl" slowly getting up to his feet Ikki dust himself off and takes a deep breath as he looks around and smirks shit we really did get carried away.

Thinking back on the fight ikki sees himself out match and out class with each attack he dos and in a last ditch attempt he tried to kill himself.but in his stupidly he never really had the strength to win, that fight even if he was the King of Blanks.then Ikki stands in shock and amazement he was not crazy and he could focus on his own thoughts not like before when he was always struggling to hold onto his ever moment looking down at this girl he thinks could it be possible that this girl the memory rosary can do this to me even after i attack her?

"Oichi has been told that she can do many things, Ichi loves to see her friends to have them take care of Ichi king Ikki. Ichi thinks that a king needs more than one land. Ichi can show you a place where you can be a king over all hehe. Will you follow Ichi?" Oichi said, getting up on her feet in her current state she seemed to be more child like than what she once was. As she grabbed onto Ikki's sleeve and trying to pull him, as a small portal appeared befor them, Oichi wanting to drag Ikki to another world.

As ikki is being lead into to this portal he cannot help but feel like hes falling into some type of long paned out meeting but with whom or what it was to be seen all he did know was right now he was just going to let Oichi lead him to this new land he could rule over just like in the Valley of Screams.

As this portal opened in the world of the living, opening up onto a small city. The busy sounds of people, cars and households, the city was a small size compared to Kakura town. As Oichi stepped out, she waiting for Ikki to step out she seemed to have had a smile on her face. She pulling on Ikki's army getting him to move faster.

"Ichi likes this place, she finds it nice seeing all of its nice beaches heh. Ichi loves to see all the death of lovers on the beach, what is it that you love King Ikki?" Oichi asked him as she began to question him in a strange way.

Stepping out of the portal ikki hears Oichi ask him what he loves and he says " I don't know i have no memorys of being alive other then what i've seen from absorbing other Blanks....." Just then Ikki has a flash of a time when he was alive and its a much younger Ikki looking outside at the rain with a smile on his face. snapping back Ikki says " I think i like the rain." unable to think of a better answer to her question Ikki says "where are we Oichi this place is not for people like use we died long ago and live in the Valley."

"A place, Ichi doesn't have a place to call home. She is always moving, she is always running from them. Ichi is scared of them, the madness just as bad as Ichi's own curse. They are like a rain they wash away all that Ichi loved, they were like a wave. Washing all Ichi's favorite things away, did they do that to you King Ikki." Oichi said acting strange, as she seemed to have got behind Ikki.
