Slay

"C'mon. Hit me man. I'm literally not going to do anything until you do." Ichigo stabbed his claymore down onto the ground and got into a horse stance. He tapped his right cheek mockingly.

Kariya growled and appeared in front of him.

*BANG!!!*

He punched Ichigo in the face with his right hand, Ichigo's face was pushed back a little by Kariya's fist.

*BOOOOOOMMM!!!!*

Ichigo had punched back Kariya in the face. Kariya's nose splurted out blood and some of his teeth fell out.

Kariya was blasted back by the punch. He slammed into a wall, cratering it. Ichigo was looking at him with a bored face.

"That tickled." Ichigo mocked and scratched his face. Kariya got out of the crater and landed on the ground. He spat out the blood in his mouth and stood up.

"Just kill yourself man! You're embarrassing yourself out here!" Zaraki shouted at him. Kariya gritted his remaining teeth in anger.

"How dare you.... mock me!! HAAAAARRRRGHHH!!!!" Kariya screamed as an overwhelming force of light teal Reiatsu surrounded him.

Ichigo looked at the blinding light with a serious face. When the light died down, it revealed Kariya to be holding Messer, his Doll. Messer now looks like a long, thin, and pointed blade of wind.

Ichigo grabbed his claymore. 'That's his full power? It barely overpowers me right now. And I'm not even in Shikai. ' Ichigo laughed in his mind.

'Show em who's the real King!!!' Zangetsu shouted in his mind. Ichigo smirked.

'You got it, Zangetsu. ' Ichigo replied to him. He looked at Kariya who was smirking arrogantly at him. Ichigo snickered and grabbed his second claymore strapped on his back. His irises turned golden-yellow and his scleras turned pitch black.

"Go forth and tear the heavens asunder, Zangetsu!!" Ichigo declared.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!*

A giant column of golden Reiatsu covered Ichigo and a few meters around him. Soifon had to immediately jump away in order to not be harmed by the extremely potent Reiatsu he was emitting.

Kariya was trying very hard to not be blasted back by the shockwaves the column of Ichigo's golden Reiatsu he was emitting.

The column dispersed to reveal Ichigo in his Shikai form. His blades and appearance had transformed drastically.

[Shikai: Horns Of Salvation

Release Command: Go forth and tear the heavens asunder, Zangetsu!!!

Mastery Progress: 85%]

Ichigo's blades are longer, cooler and darker and more defined. His hair has grown a bit longer as well, it was just barely over shoulder length.

His white horns were shining brightly under the hot sun. His horns were of the same length now.

Yamamoto was astonished. 'It has only been a few weeks and he is even stronger now. How very interesting. It's a good thing he's on our side.' Yamamoto stroked his beard. Zaraki's broad grin was widening to impossible lengths. Unohana had a menacing look in her blue eyes. The other captains were just as baffled and astonished about his transformation and strength.

They have seen his strength before when he was in Shikai before but something about this change is surprising.

Ichigo looked at Kariya with a menacing gaze. Kariya took a step back. "Reiō cannot save you from me, Kariya. Now Die." Ichigo muttered. He disappeared using Sonído, creating a static sound in the process.

*Pff!!!*

Ichigo appeared beside Kariya while pointing his index finger at the side of his head. A small dark red orb was created on the tip of his finger.

"Cero!"

*SSSSFFFFWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!*

From point blank, Kariya was engulfed in the Cero beam. He didn't even put up a fight. The Cero beam destroyed every part of the ground in its wake.

Once Ichigo stopped the attack, it revealed that Kariya wasn't there anymore. All that was left was the devastated and utterly decimated ground behind where he was standing.

Ichigo's index finger was smoking a little. He blew on it and smirked in satisfaction. Suddenly, a giant shadow towered him. He looked back to see Yamamoto with an furious expression on his face.

"Boy! Do you know how much property damage you have cost!? And do you know how much paperwork I have to do now!?" Yamamoto shouted.

" He's so dead... " Shunsui muttered to Nanao who sighed. Ichigo smiled nervously at Yamamoto.

" Uh..... Sorry? " Ichigo apologized. Yamamoto growled.

" Sorry!? That's all you have to say! As punishment, you will fix this street and do all of the paperwork required to do so!! " Yamamoto shouted. Ichigo raised his hands.

" Wait! Wait! I have something that can solve your problem easily. Orihime! Cam you come here for a second? " Ichigo called her. Orihime appeared beside Ichigo.

" I'm here! " Orihime answered bubbly. Yamamoto narrowed his eyes.

"Who taught you how to use Shunpo, girl? And how are you going to help?" Yamamoto asked her with a serious aura around him. Orihime shuddered just by looking at him. Ichigo stood in between them.

"I did. You have a problem with her, bring it up to me." Ichigo looked down at Yamamoto with a serious face. Golden Reiatsu was oozing off his body. Yamamoto started back with the same intensity.

But they stopped when Orihime started coughing violently. Ichigo immediately pulled back his Reiatsu, exited his Shikai form and turned to look at her.

"Are you okay?" Ichigo asked her with a concerned face. Orihime nodded while still breathing heavily.

"I'm alright. I just couldn't handle the pressure." Orihime whispered. Ichigo nodded and looked at Yamamoto.

"Back to the main point, old man. She can help in repairing this, right Orihime?" Ichigo smiled at her. Orihime nodded and looked at the destroyed ground.

"Sōten Kisshun, I reject." Orihime chanted, causing Ayame and Shun'ō to form a giant long half-oval barrier over the destroyed ground.

They couldn't believe it, well Ichigo did but that wasn't the point. The destroyed ground was being repaired in front of their eyes. When it was fully repaired to perfection, the half oval barrier disappeared.

Ayame and Shun'ō returned to Orihime's hairpins. Orihime turned and looked at Ichigo while smiling happily.

"I did it!" She declared. Ichigo chuckled and kissed her which she immediately kissed back. They released the kiss and looked at Yamamoto who was a little surprised about her powers. He looked at Orihime and bowed a little.

"I apologize for questioning your abilities, girl." Yamamoto apologized to her. Orihime smiled and shook her head.

"Don't worry, Mr Captain Commander. I'm not mad or anything. Actually, I kinda expected you to doubt my abilities." Orihime replied back nonchalantly. Yamamoto nodded and stood up straight.

"Would you be so kind to help me in something?" Yamamoto asked her. Orihime nodded. Orihime nodded repeatedly.

"Of course! What is it?" Orihime asked him with a smile on her face.

"Can you help me in repairing the destroyed buildings in Seireitei?....
