Chapter 7 The Man in the Beast

Renji’s jaw dropped. “That’s what Captain Komamura looks like?”

“You didn’t know?” Grimmjow asked.

“No! He’s always wearing that helmet.” The wolf ears, tail, and fur didn’t really shake the red head.

“The wolf traits are interesting is he part hollow?” Di Roy asked.

“I don’t think so...I believe captain Kuchiki called Yoruichi a were-cat!” Renji stroked his chin. ‘Was Captain Komamura something similar?’

The answers to Renji’s question lied in Komamura’s pendant. Ichigo had been studying Komamura’s people.

His research discovered a legend of his people taking a more human form. He had asked Sajin about it, but Komamura didn’t know the technique. His grandfather knew it, but the furry male had a feeling he wouldn’t give up the secrets without a fight.

“But it means you are able to take human form!” Ichigo spoke as if learning a new discovery. To him if a conclusion was possible there was another way to obtain the same result, possibly even a better one.

Sajin didn’t talk about it much, as he didn’t want to get his hopes up. The furry male half expected him to forget about it after awhile as his interests always seemed to jump from one thing to the next.

He was shocked when Ichigo asked him to do this little experiment. ‘I don’t know if I can do this?’ Sajin wanted to help Ichigo but going out in his wolf form, revealing who he was to even Renji scared him.

So here he sat in a waiting room nearly completely naked, he was showing far more skin then he ever did even in his private time, outside of bathing/showers. The speedos he wore were rather unique, they hugged his most intimate areas in a way he wasn’t used to, it should have felt uncomfortable, but the fabric breathed in a way that made him relax.

Sajin looked down, his balls were bulging out the crotch of the speedos, the way it hugged his sheath was rather erotic as well. It looked like he could reach down and finger his sheath through the fabric. Behind him the fabric rode his ass cheeks, much like a fundoshi or a jock strap, his furry ass cheeks were hanging out. It should have been uncomfortable but Ichigo’s technology was something else.

Because of his fur many fabrics could be too much for him. Ichigo in his spare time made all manner of things, even finding time to make special clothing, created incredible armor that breathed like silk. Sajin believed if Ichigo made him a leather outfit he’d be able to wear it easily.

He was looking like a big fluffy wrestler. “I can’t...I can’t go out there like this…” He stood up.

“Like what?” Sajin jumped. He had pretty good senses, having even heightened ones thanks to his animal traits.

Ichigo had slipped by him in such a way it was startling. The boy moved so quietly it was spooky. Apparently Mayuri didn’t like a lot of noise so the squad had an adept movement, quick and quiet, giving the stealth force a run for their money. He also didn’t like distractions so if they wanted to work and not disturb they had to mask their presence. Thankfully his private lab was more secure so when he was down there people could operate with more ease.

“Here you go!” Ichigo offered the necklace.

“You...you completed it?” Sajin was stunned.

“Of course I did.” Ichigo tapped the little blue heart. “This should have the same effect.”

Sajin took the necklace his hands shaking. Even in his hands he felt power coming from it. ‘This will let me become human?’ He puts it on and the energy washed over him.

The change was intense, but pleasurable…

His form shifted and he took a mostly human form a good 95% human. He rushed over to mirror to see himself. “This...is me…?”

Ichigo nodded. He eyed the male up and down jotting down notes as he did. “The Human Transformation Technique. It is a well kept secret, I had to go diving deep in the archives to even find a clue.” He began to recite the legend he was able to find.

“Men with the body of wolves, can choose to walk on two legs to walk among man, speak in human tongue, and hold a human heart, but should they ever wish to be fully human they must bare their heart, offer it up, and should they get consumed by darkness will lose everything.”

Apparently a soul reaper had heard this from one of Sajin’s people back in the ancient days and this was the only thing Soul Reapers had about it. Not much to go on but Ichigo was able to figure it out.

One might think they were speaking metaphorical but Ichigo looked at many possibilities and interpretations. One factor he considered it to being literal was the face that there were not many Sajin’s around, even if they lived in a secluded region the fact the legends and lore were so limited was concerning.

Ichigo deduced the line was literal that the ripping out one’s heart was a part of it. The sacrifice conjured great power, but who was the sacrifice to? Ichigo wondered if there was a member of Sajin’s family who was old, perhaps said sacrifice was to that family member allowing them to prolong their life. If one gave in to darkness their heart would be devoured and the beast with the heart of man would remain nothing but a beast from then on. He ran through all the possibilities of what the everything meant.

It took time to race through all the possibilities, and from there he had to figure out a way around the barbaric ritual.

“This is the Lunar Heart!” The creation took quite a bit of work. “It’s a prototype and this will be a test run of it’s full capabilities. I don’t know fully how it might effect your body or power so do be careful.” Sajin got a slight chill, of course he was testing a prototype. “Though I must say I had feeling you’d be handsome with how cute you were!”

Komamura blushed at the comment.

“It seems you were changed down here as well.” Sajin looked down and sure enough he no longer had a sheath, his dick was out the fat meat lewdly bulging out the speedos. Ichigo was gazing intently at his bulge.

The wolfman’s blush grew shading his whole face in red. “There is only so much combat data can show, should you win there are other activities we can do to see your abilities.” Sajin gulped at the intent.

Komamura was excited to see how this worked. Ichigo left him to prepare for the battle. “Thank you Ichigo!” Sajin bowed low, his head resting on the floor.

Ichigo walked back over and gave the man head pats. “You don’t have to thank me, I’m happy you are happy, this form of yours is your other half, two sides of the same coin, as long as you remember that I’m content.” Sajin couldn’t see the expression on Ichigo’s face a grim look of sadness.

The scientist slipped away to get ready for the test battles. Ichigo realized one thing when experimenting to create the lunar heart. The legend shared years ago was a lie, a vile trick. Using the humanification technique at all was a death sentence, one would lose their mind, soul, and power, becoming nothing but a dumb beast.

It reminded Ichigo of a tragic tale of a mermaid, who wished for legs to be with the one she loved, their wish was made and they split their tail to walk on land, the pain wasn’t the worst part, the tales fragmented but usually led to tragic ends, that in order to keep their legs they had to devour their love being seen as a monster by all, that their love couldn’t love the real them so they either turned salt or bubbles, even the tales where the mermaid found love the tragic truth was that even if everything worked out one couldn’t escape reality there was a price to be paid for this wish, they turned to wood, to stone, turned to salt, reduced to nothing but a puddle, or they just died unable to live on land in the end.

Every tale offered a chance for happiness but ended in tragedy in one form or another. With the way Ichigo processed and thought about things he could see it as a warning, that it was possible to become human but you had to do it the right way or it’ll end badly. He could also see if mermaids were real that someone would use these tales as a way of tricking mermaids into attempting to become human believing they would be the one to get their happy ending.

There was no giving into darkness, out of every word in the legend that one wasn’t specific enough and yet it was vague enough to be specific. Ripping out one’s heart was giving in to darkness, whoever used the technique would become human but only until the ritual wore off and then they would lose everything. A sinister case of you got what you wanted but lost what you had.

The beast would lament believing they flew too close to the sun or drew too close to darkness. Perhaps even a few who realized the truth but couldn’t reveal it before becoming a beast.

Ichigo’s intuition believed that the story was spoken only to the lonely, the miserable, and the depressed as a teasing thread of hope to live a life on the other side. Sajin was brave enough to walk among the soul reapers, even if he hid his appearance he changed his own fate. He gained a life few others could only dream of.

Even if this prototype failed he’d keep working on making this dream a reality for Sajin. ‘I’ll never let him perform the humanification technique as it’s written, it’s a trap!’

He was right, though he wouldn’t discover it for some time, it was Sajin’s own grandfather who perpetuated the legend and used the sacrifices of their own people to prolong his life.

Illfort was taken aback. ‘Is this really the same guy?’

He had seen the helmet wearing captain before and could tell he was strong but now. ‘His power is overflowing and wild.’ The blonde sweats. ‘It’s like I’m standing in front of…’

Illfort could tell Sajin was a captain as his strength reminded him of Tosen and Gin, but now… ‘Why does it feel like I’m standing before Aizen?!’ He gulped and began to sweat.

“Illfort!” Grimmjow shouted. “You better not wimp out.”

‘This guy is strong yes, but this was training an experiment. Ichigo will help us get stronger, we can’t give into fear or we can’t move forward.’ Grimmjow remembered Di Roy, in such a short time Ichigo was able to improve his strength. “Show your power!”

“Sajin!” Ichigo called out. “I must ask that you not use your bankai in this state.”

“Huh?” Grimmjow and Renji gasped.

“Understood!” Sajin took a fighting stance.

“Let’s see!” Illfort drew his sword. “Impale: Del Toro!” (Young Horned Prince)

Yellow reiatsu enveloped Illfort his power growing stronger. “His form...it’s changed…”

“It has!”

Indeed it has. His typical form had his upper body enlarging and getting covered in thick armor. The weight often brought him down to walk on four legs like a bull using his new horns from his mask to attack and impale.

Now…

Illfort’s mask now looked like a helmet, his horn position looked more like it did in his hollow form. His upper body looked armored, said armor looked like a football player’s gear, his stomach was showing. Illfort’s armor on his arms was now tighter and more compact, he also gained armor on his legs. ‘Not only has his power increased but so had his speed, mobility, and defense!’

Grimmjow whistled. “Hot damn...I didn’t know he had it in him.” He grinned. ‘Does this mean...it’s true...I can get even stronger with Ichigo’s help…’ Grimmjow looked to his zanpakuto. ‘I was stronger than the others already...perhaps the secret really is in my zanpakuto…’

“Roar Tenken!” A phantom sword appeared beside Sajin but that wasn’t the only one as a phantom fist appeared on the other side.

“Whoa did the captain’s power evolve to?” Renji gasped. As his power overflowed the phantom limbs grew more tangible.

“Let’s fight!” Illfort growled. “I’m itching to try out my new power.”

‘As am I!’ The two clash hard. Both getting used to their new speed. ‘I’m faster than before...this power...is incredible…’

‘My theory is correct, for Sajin’s people humanization is a battle technique, one that releases one’s potential and amplifies it all at once. It can be felt even in his shikai.’ Ichigo knew much of Sajin’s fighting style, he was a tank capable of taking hits and producing a lot of power, even if one wanted to block his attacks they could be overpowered, it was best to dodge, but his hits were so large and destructive. His bankai was the same way, it’s massive size and power was crazy, it’s one weakness was the life link to Komamura. Not seen as much of a weakness considering the massive size and power.

‘But now…’ Sajin was able to fully utilize his speed, moving fast without the use of flash step. The man even dropped to all fours for greater speed, when he did he held his zanpakuto in his mouth, and the shikai arms fought at his sides under his will.

“Let’s try this!” Illfort moved to fire a cero, but it wasn’t red.

“That’s!” Grimmjow gasped.

The cero of an elite arrancar, all arrancar can fire a cero, the red doom blast, but the truly skilled arrancar can fire a cero with a matching color of their reiatsu. ‘If he can do that it means he could produce the Gran Rey Cero!’

Even Illfort was shocked at the attack.

His cero was striking yellow color and it soared right at Sajin. ‘Heavenly Divine Palm!’ Using the armored hand he thrust it forward and it acted as a shield, blocking the cero.

“Whoa where did Captain Komamura get this power from?” Renji gasped.

Ichigo sweats a bit. He didn’t know there would be such a drastic change. ‘Well...at least he’s not using his bankai…’

Illfort tried to fight using Balas which Ichigo got excited for as it was a new technique. “A bala is faster though it lacks power.” Grimmjow explained.

Komamura was able to swipe them away...however...when he released his slash spiritual energy surged out from it. Illfort got blasted and slammed into a wall.

Sajin kept charging in, he removed the sword from his mouth and with both hands went to swing at Illfort. “Bankai…” Ichigo had drawn Shifter. It all happened so fast, not even Grimmjow could follow what happened.

He blinked and suddenly Illfort was no longer in the ring, Ichigo had stopped Sajin’s attack and somehow deactivated his Shikai, the limbs vanishing. “That’s enough.” He said as he sheathed his sword. “Komamura come with me now.”

The man was trembling but obeyed. They left the ring, power was leaking off Sajin in intense waves like he was overheating. “You need to give me the Lunar Heart.”

“But…” He clutched it tightly.

“Your body isn’t used to the transformation yet, your burning through too much energy.” Sajin didn’t want to give it up, a part of him wanted to growl and snap, that he wouldn’t give it up not ever...but then…

Ichigo took his hand. “Sajin...please…” He nodded and the orangette removed the necklace.

“Ahhhh!” Komamura cried out in pain as his transformation was reversed, it was slower than his transformation into a human also a tad more painful.

It was true he was burning through too much power, he hadn’t even realized it. Once he was fully back to normal he collapsed. Ichigo caught him. “I...I can’t move…”

“If this is the worst side effect you face I’d call this a win.” There was one other problem.

“Ichigo...it hurts…” He whimpered, blushing in a mix of lust and embarrassment.

“Oh my!” Komamura was hard!
