Chapter 160 - 160: Fighting Aizen

Even though Urahara yelled out my name Isshin didn't know who he was talking about. I never met Isshin or his daughters so it's understandable. Gin opened the Senkaimon and passed through with Aizen. I waited until Isshin and Ichigo went through so I can open a Yomotsu Hirasaka and bypass them to meet up with Aizen. Since Rangiku made it over there as well without fully recovering I can save her and make her owe me.

Ichigo and his father finally went through the Senkaimon and I went to meet up with Aizen. I thought about beating the shit out of Aizen and letting Ichigo finish him off but it will be too anticlimactic. While pondering how I would fight, I thought up of a great idea. How can I fight Aizen and have Ichigo beat him? First: I will fight and beat the shit out of him but not kill him. Second: I will see how he likes it when someone f.u.c.ks with your mind by erasing his memory of me fighting him. Third: I will give him the other half of the Senzu Bean I had so he can continue what he was doing, just so Ichigo can beat him with the Final Getsuga Tensho.

I put my plan into motion as I stepped through my portal. I sensed around and found where Aizen was so I flashed near him.

Sage: So this is where your bitch a.s.s was lingering.

Aizen: So you finally made your appearance.

The moment Aizen said that I started to laugh obnoxiously and without restraint. Apparently not amused, Aizen responded.

Aizen: And what is so funny?

Sage: Hahahaha, besides your new fairy look hahaha, you seriously thought that I appeared now? I guess the Hogyoku not only inflated your ego but made you blind as well. I was watching you fight Urahara, Isshin and Yoruichi the entire time.

Finally realizing what I meant, Aizen's eyes widened. I didn't notice at first that Ichigo's friends were there so when I did notice I told them to get away from the current location. At first they didn't move because they were still under Aizen's pressure so I released my aura to easily counter it. When they were able to catch their breath they finally moved.

Sage: "How easily he countered my pressure" You must have thought.

At this point, Gin had already betrayed Aizen and thought that he had killed him but it only made Aizen stronger, which I was grateful for because he could stand up to me a little longer. If I want to fight Aizen it will have to be now before Ichigo makes his entrance.

Sage: Before an inconvenience occurs lets start, shall we?

Aizen: You believe that you can beat me? Even after witnessing my transformation?

Sage: I love it when the ignorant get their asses handed to them.

I flashed to his right side but Aizen's eyes couldn't follow. When he noticed I was beside him I pimp slapped him away to a desolate area. I made a Back Channel large enough so that Aizen wouldn't notice to slow time down for the fight. Aizen recovered from the hit…

Aizen: Impossible! From a mere slap I was sent this far away?!

Sage: Come on man. You were never at my level, even now. In order to get better with my Zanpakuto, I will fight you with her. Bankai!

Shinigami was out in the open in all her glory. I twirled her around as she transformed from an Odachi Sakabato into a scythe. I swung casually at Aizen and the resulting wind sickle caught him across the c.h.e.s.t. The Hogyoku started to regenerate as Aizens' lower half began to drop.

Sage: Hahahahaha, why is your regeneration so slow Aizen?

As Aizen's lower half was put together the Hogyoku looked as if it was shaking. I released more of my aura and eclipsed Aizen.

Sage: So now that it is conscious, even the Hogyoku can feel fear. How amusing.

Aizen: You cannot…you…YOU CANNOT DEFEAT A GOD!!!!

Sage: (With an Alucard sized smile) I guess you truly did not know me. Souten Daisharin!

Even though I attacked I held back so that I wouldn't destroy all of Soul Society. Once Aizen was beaten down, the Hogyoku was not regenerating this time, almost as if it was too afraid to receive another attack or it was too smart to realize that it was pointless to heal a host who it knew could not match up. I grabbed Aizen by his head and made him look me in the eyes as I revealed my Ginga Rinne Sharingan and used Tsukuyomi on him. I gave Aizen the other half of the Senzu Bean and the Hogyoku used that opportunity to heal Aizen.

Sage: Let's see how you like it when someone f.u.c.ks with your head.

The Hogyoku must be smarter than Aizen thought because it knew that I didn't want to end Aizen or it. It preserved Aizen for his inevitable second defeat at the hands of Ichigo. Once Aizen was fully healed I brought him back to the location near Gins' body where Rangiku was still crying for him. The fight may not have taken long but it was fun. When I arrived, Gin saw a completely dazed Aizen. I simply looked at him, gave a small smile while holding my left index finger to my lips and telling them to keep quiet. I erased my presence and snapped my finger, waking Aizen from his daze. I flashed away and awaited Ichigo.

A few moments later, Ichigo made his appearance while carrying his father.

Ichigo: Thanks, Dad.

Tatsuki: I…Ichigo

Keigo: That's Ichigo, isn't it? Why's his hair longer? And maybe it's just the hair but… does he look a little taller to you?

Ichigo: (Sensed around) Good. Looks like Yuzu and Karin are safe. Tatsuki, Keigo, Mizuiro, Honsho, Kanonji (looked at the Shinigami that replaced Rukia for a while) Imoyama-san.

Kurumadani Zennosuke: WHO?! It's Kurumadani!! Kurumadani Zennosuke!! If you don't know, then just say so! Don't try to guess!!

That last part had me laughing. Why would he remember a mob character? He should at least be a little happy that Ichigo tried to remember his name.

Ichigo: Guys. Stay here. Just don't move.

Keigo: What do you mean?

Aizen: Kurosaki Ichigo. Are you really Kurosaki Ichigo?

Ichigo: What do you mean?

Aizen: If you're really Kurosaki Ichigo, I'm disappointed. I can't feel any Reiatsu at all from you. Even if you were holding it back, I would be able to feel something. You've made a mistake. I gave you one last chance but you've let it slip away. Too bad. Kurosaki…

Ichigo: (While interrupting Aizen) Aizen. Let's go somewhere else. I don't want to fight here.

I snickered at his retort. Aizen was close to the end of his little God play. Well, it ended already thanks to me but I'm trying to keep to the original story by letting Ichigo have a turn. Ichigo grabbed Aizen by the face and landed at the same location where I slapped him to. The rest of the fight progressed at the pace of the original story. This drew a close to Aizen's arc. Before I left Soul Society I grabbed a few more Asauchi to give to a few more people.

I stayed until Ichigo recovered. Once he recovered I told him that I will come back to see him in close to two years. I opened a Yomotsu Hirasaka and left.
