@AbigailTenshiAfter some time they finally arrived back at the Seireitei yet as they got to the gates Shinzo stopped then turned to the other two and spoke "
You two go ahead...I think I left something back there. I will see you at the barracks later." Shinzo then walked past them both, heading back in the direction they had come from. Once again after some time he arrived back in the forest yet stopped dead in the middle of it as he looked up and exhaled. Shinzo then took the weights off his body before removing his Haori and placing the weights on top of it. Once again Shinzo looked up the sky as he raised his right hand to his face, gripping his mask as he then tore it off his face releasing a smoky substance as he threw his mask down to the ground. His Sclera now turning black as his Iris's turned a piercing red and a hollow like mask forming over the bottom half of his face...as he did this his Spiritual energy began leaking out of him yet it was now pure black and gave off an immense weight as his killing intent could be felt through it
"
Come at me so I can fucking tear you all apart..." Shinzo said as he looked around at the many piercing red eyes through the darkness of the forest...yet none would come close causing Shinzo to clench his hands into fists "
I SAID COME AT ME YOU FUCKS!" Shinzo then gripped his Zanpakuto's hilt with his right hand as he unsheathed it and slashed from left to right cutting half the forests tree's down in the single stroke of his sword "
If you wont come at me then I will come for you!" Shinzo then sheathed his Zanpakuto before taking a few steps forward and disappearing with shunpo, appearing infront of a hollow as he slammed his hands into it's gut, he then let out a roar as he tore the hollow in two, the hollows blood spraying over him as he then turned and ducked, avoiding an incoming attack from a nearby hollow. He then wrapped his right hand around the hollows throat as he then tore the very throat he was holding out from it's neck.
Shinzo carried on like this for a great amount of time, killing hollows brutally with his bare hands...after some time all that surrounded him was blood and bodies as he then fell to his knees and hit the ground with his right fist "
Why...Why did they all have to die!? Why couldn't I have been stronger!? I could have saved them!...Nishi...Mother...Father..." as Shinzo said this his body hunched over a little more as he rested on his forearms and knee's, his vision looking at the ground below as it became blurry, the images of their death's flashed through his mind forcing tears to his eyes which in turn fell to the ground..."
Why must I be so powerless..." a pair of feet then came into the view of Shinzo which prompted him to look up, seeing Shizuka looking down at him...Shinzo then sat back on his legs, still kneeling on the ground as Shizuka knelt down infront of him as Shinzo was about to speak his eyes widened as Shizuka wrapped her arms around him and began hugging him, his hollow mask then broke away as his eyes returned back to normal Shinzo then wrapped his arms around Shizuka...
"
I wont let anything happen to you...I failed to protect what I cared for before...I wont let it happen again..." Shinzo closed his eyes however they shot back open as he heard Shizuka speak "
You wont have to cry someday...I will kill what haunts you..." in truth...this was the first time Shinzo had heard Shizuka speak...although it wasn't much it meant more than a thousand words...Shinzo wasn't able to battle his demons...yet Shizuka was prepared to in order to protect the one she now considered her brother. She had seen Shinzo in this state many times...however she no longer wanted to see this...Shinzo had become the first person that she had become attached to, the first to accept her for what she was...and just like Shinzo...she wouldn't allow anyone or anything to take him away from her, he was her only family and he saw something in her that others did not and has put his life on the line many times in order to protect her.
"
Thanks Shizuka...we best head back...I told them I would be back at the barracks soon." as they broke the hug Shizuka handed Shinzo his mask which prompted him to smile a little as he put it on and spoke "
I'm glad you made this for me...it's the one item I cherish more than any other...let's head back" Shinzo stood up and walked over to his Haori before putting it on and then picking up the weights and placing them back on.
