“Dammit…A soul better be sent to hell sometime soon” Ryuketsu floated aimlessly through the dark void of Limbo, his right arm glowing brightly, Yamato gripped tightly in his hand.
Blood still leaked from his wounds, but it seemed to just float around him like he did in the dark void, he looked at the O-katana in his hand.
“At least I stopped them for a little while; no doubt that snake in the grass has some kind of backup plan” he said to himself. He lowered the hood of his jacket to reveal spiky silver hair.
“Won’t be long before that jackass finds me, lady luck please be on my side.”
*****
“Kurosaki-kun!” Ichigo turned around to see Orihime jogging towards him, Chad and Uryu choosing to walk.
“Hey there Orihime, Chad, Uryu” Ichigo said, nodding to his two male friends, who returned the gesture, the group of four made their way towards Karakura High.
“Did any of you feel some kind of energy spike last night?” Ichigo asked out of the blue. The three of them nodded.
“A handful of hollows showed, the thing is they didn’t aim for me like they normally do, they just went for the nearest house” the Deathberry said.
“That is odd, you’re normally their first target, or Chad or Orihime” Uryu said, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
“We were attacked by a rather powerful last night the moment after it happened” Chad said.
“What? Why didn’t one of you call me? Did any of you get hurt?” Ichigo asked, now worried if anything that he needed to know about.
“We’re fine Kurosaki-kun, Ishida-kun came in time to help us” Orihime said, Chad nodded.
“…How? I thought you lost your powers Uryu?” Ichigo said.
“…I did, but a Quincy, even a powerless one, has a few tricks up his sleeves when it comes to dealing with hollows” the former Quincy said. Ichigo just shrugged and the four of them continued to walk in silence.
*****
The group of four ascended the stairs to their first class, Ichigo held out his free arm and the three others parted. Just as planned…
“I~Chi~GOOOO!” Asano Keigo ran down the hallway at great speeds and barreled in to Ichigo’s outstretched arm nose first, the young man rolling down the hallway, skidding to a stop and frozen in pain. Arisawa Tatsuki, a spiky haired tomboy and Kojima Mizuiro, a high school playboy walked up behind the deathberry.
“Hey Ichigo” they said in unison. The orange haired young man returned the greeting and walked towards class.
“WWWWHAAAAT? YOU GUYS ARE JUST GONNA LET HIM DO THAT TO ME?” Keigo yelled indignantly, blood running down his face despite the tissue that somehow got there. The group of six just looked at him for a second and then walked inside the classroom without a word.
AWWWWHAHA!” Keigo whined, crying anime tears, “So Cruel!”
“Keigo! Shut up before I bash your face in, Again!” Ichigo yelled from inside of the classroom, Keigo was in his seat in the blink of an eye with a scared look on his face and halo floating above his head.
Their teacher Miss Ochi walked in with her normal chipper smile and a spring in her step; she looked around the classroom and gave them a confused look.
“Everyone’s here today? And here I thought so many of you would be out enjoying the spring time of youth, gotta get rid of all that energy somehow, Right?” she said with a grin on her face. It was her students turn to be confused.
‘Shouldn’t she want students to come to class?’ Ichigo thought with a deadpan expression.
“Hey Ichigo, what’s that you’re wearing?” Tatsuki asked, Ichigo looked down to see a charm attached to his shirt, the Kanji for ‘Protect’ on it. He sighed.
“My dad must’ve done that during his daily sneak attack” Ichigo said.
“Not that, the crazy badge thing on the other side” Tatsuki corrected him. Ichigo looked at the other side to see his bronze Substitute combat pass hanging from a loop next to his pocket.
“Y-you can see that?” Ichigo asked, rather confused. Tatsuki’s brow furrowed. The deathberry was confused for one reason only, no normal, non-spiritually aware human should be able to see the badge just as Ukitake had told him.
“Yeah, what’s that got to-“ she was interrupted by the badge going off.
“Hollow! Hollow! Hollow!”
“What the hell?” Tatsuki said. Ichigo bolted up and towards the door.
“Where do you think you’re going Kurosaki?” The teacher called after him.
“Bathroom!” Chad and Orihime sped past the teacher as well.
“Bathroom!” they said at the same time.
“Inoue-san! A young woman doesn’t just run out to use the bathroom!” Miss Ochi called after them, but they were out of earshot in seconds, “Well that was strange.”
“Ooooohhh! What could be wrong with my precious Hime?” a red head with glasses said, the busty auburn haired girl on her mind. Honsho Chizuru, a proud lesbian and an avid Orihime fan.
“Can it Chizuru!” Tatsuki said loudly, she rested her cheek in her palm while she looked out the classroom window. She noticed movement outside and looked down to see a head of orange hair dressed baggy robes with a large…something on its back running away from the school, Chad and Orihime following him.
‘Ichigo?’ Tatsuki thought, ‘It can’t be…but that hair, it’s unmistakable.’
*****
“Pork!” A pig headed hollow thrashed around, sniffing at the air. It was sent sailing through the air and skidding across the school grounds with a punch from Chad. It got up quickly and saw Ichigo, Orihime and Chad standing there, the orange haired deathberry taking Zangetsu off of his back.
“Veal!” the pig hollow rushed towards them, it reared its fist back, Chad blocking the punch and knocking the hollow off balance, Ichigo catching it in the stomach with a slash from Zangetsu, throwing it in to the air.
“PORK!” The hollow righted itself in the air and inhaled deeply before spitting out of projectiles, Ichigo running around and using shunpo to avoid them, Orihime activating her Santen Kesshun to protect herself and Chad.
“Well, which is it?” Ichigo asked, he launched himself towards the still airborne hollow who had stopped with the meat barrage.
“VEAL!” it roared as it fired a cero, Ichigo disappeared just as it reached him, appearing behind the hollow with his zanpakuto raised over his head. He brought it down and split the hollow’s mask in half, the beast dissolving in to light and the deathberry landing with a soft thud, Zangetsu wrapping itself up as he placed it on his back.
“C’mon, let’s get back to class” Ichigo said, Chad and Orihime nodding, Ichigo stopped for a moment.
“Do you guys remember where I left my body?”
*****
“Well, he is an interesting one…” a young man was standing upside down in the sky, a water bottle upside down beside him, the resting as if were standing normally. The young man took a sip.
“Kurosaki Ichigo, welcome to the family” a smile spread across his face, revealing his upper teeth only.
*****
“It’s about time you three got back, how long does it take to go to the bathroom?” the teacher scolded them, hitting them on the head with her notebook as they passed by, even Chad, thought she had to get on her toes. The three of them took their seats.
“Now class, I’d like to introduce you to a new student who will be joining us and I’d like for you to make him feel welcome, you can come in now” the teacher called, the classroom door opened and in walked the new student.
“Hi there, it’s nice to meet you all” he said. He was a young man of average height with chin length, blond, straight cut hair and a smile that showed only the top row of his teeth. No response from the class.
He proceeded to write his name on the board. The teacher looked at him peculiarly.
“It seems you’ve your name on the board backwards” the young man grinned at her sheepishly and scratched the back of head.
“Yeah, I’m pretty good at doing things backwards” he said, he then turned to the class, “My name is Shinji Hirako and I hope to make a few friends while I’m here.” The blond walked towards the back of the room and took a seat beside Ichigo.
‘…Something seems…off…about this guy’ Ichigo thought as he looked at the new student out of the corner of his eye. He saw Shinji look his way and grin.
“Hi there, we should hang out sometime” Shinji said out of the blue, Ichigo gave him a deadpan expression and was about to respond when…
“Hollow! Hollow! Hollow!” The orange haired deathberry shot up from his seat and bolted for the door.
“Bathroom! Sorry!” Miss Ochi was too slow to stop Ichigo but she managed to get in the way of Orihime and Chad.
“Oh no you don’t!” she said, threatening to bop them on the head with her notebook. Shinji just blinked innocently, confused about what just happened, in his mind he was thinking…
‘Dammit, Hiyori isn’t going to be happy about this’
*****
Ichigo, Chad and Orihime exited the school grounds, ignoring Keigo’s cries to hang this weekend just like the rest of their friends, Tatsuki beating on Chizuru who moments ago tried to grope Orihime and failed, Uryu choosing not to go with them.
The air around them suddenly became heavy, the three of them stopping in their tracks.
“Just like yesterday” Orihime said.
“Only this one isn’t as strong” Chad said. Ichigo took a small green pill from his pocket and swallowed it, his Shinigami form separating from his human body.
“It’s about time! I’ve been waiting f-“ he was interrupted by the orange haired substitute.
“Not now Kon, just be ready to run if a powerful hollow shows up” Ichigo said in a serious tone, taking Zangetsu off of his back, the cloth unraveling. The modified soul looked around warily and nodded.
“I can feel multiple signatures closing in fast” Orihime said, Chad activating his arm.
“These…don’t feel like hollows” Kon said. They saw shadowed figures on top of nearby roofs, they walked funny and through they were too far away to confirm a mask, there was no hole in their bodies as far as they could tell.
“What the hell?” Ichigo said, it looked as if some of them hand large blades for their arm or leg. Seven in total jumped from the rooftops and landed in front of the teenagers and they were disgusted and horrified at what they saw.
Seven figures that looked to be nothing more than torn and stitched burlap sacks, parts of their bodies moving and bugs crawling out from an opening in the body and back in through another, four were fashioned with large executioner blades for their arms and used it as a sort of cane when they walked, the other three were fitted with large blades for their right leg, though they walked funny, one of them went to a series of acrobatic flips, displaying deadly precision with the blade.
“What are these things?” Kon asked, thoroughly freaked out by the sights before him.
“I don’t know and I don’t give a damn, their just another enemy for me to cut down” Ichigo said, he ran forward and slashed at one with an arm blade, who dodged it and two more attacked Ichigo, the deathberry put on the defensive by their powerful slashes, he used shunpo to escape being struck by one with a leg blade, All of them looking vaguely similar to scarecrows.
(From here, Leg Scarecrows will be called Legs and Arm Scarecrows will be called Arms, check them out at Devil May Cry Wiki.)
“Chad, Kon, protect Orihime!” Ichigo said, clashing with two Arms, Chad dodging an attack from a Leg and Kon sending it flying in to another with a powerful kick.
“Right!”
“Tsubaki! Kotan Zanshun! I Reject!” Orihime sent her offensive attack at an Arm who tried to surprise Chad, the light piercing its body and slicing it in half as the shield activated, bugs pouring out of its remains and dissolving in to ash.
‘Bugs?’ Orihime and Chad thought.
“Getsuga Tensho!” Ichigo used his signature technique, destroying an Arm and a Leg Scarecrow in the process.
“Bastard!” Ichigo flew through the smoke and slashed down, a Leg dodging it and slashing at him, cutting in to his shoulder; an Arm Scarecrow hit the deathberry in the chest with a shoulder block and knocked him away.
“Damn!”
“Ichigo! Look out!” Orihime called over the Scarecrows that were between them, the orange haired substitute sensed a number of new signatures above him, he turned his head to see three more Leg Scarecrows jumping down from above.
“Shunko!” (Flash Cry) A white energy bolt shot through all three of them, disintegrating them and the bugs inside.
“Hado #32: Okasen” (Way of Destruction #32: Yellow Fire Flash) Ichigo turned around again, the Scarecrows in front of him were all cut in half and burned to ash by a yellow energy arc, another destroying the ones attacking his friends and Kon.
“You all right there, Ichigo” Yoruichi and Urahara appeared in front of the group of teens, Ichigo getting back in to his body after using his combat pass to remove the mod soul pill.
“Yeah, what were those things anyway?” Ichigo asked as he worked his sore shoulder, still in pain from the Scarecrows attack.
“I’ll explain as best I can when we return to my shop, let’s go” Urahara said in his normal upbeat tone, motioning them to follow with his cane.
*****
“So, are you gonna explain what those things were?” Ichigo asked, he, Chad and Orihime sitting around a small table, the Bount sensor mod souls, Noba, Lirin and Cloud were sitting on the table as well, Urahara and Yoruichi sitting on the other side.
“To be honest, I have no idea, it’s the first time I had ever encountered something like that” Urahara said, “Just keep your eye out for them for them and try to take one alive, if I get a chance to study one then I can figure it out.”
“All right, what about the hollow that Chad, Uryu and Orihime fought and the sudden rise in hollow activity, can you explain those?” the deathberry asked, the shopkeeper nodded an affirmative.
“You three have felt those sudden spikes in spiritual pressure right?” Urahara asked, and the three teenagers nodded.
“Well those are caused spikes in reishi, almost like pockets around Karakura Town are suddenly exploding in to varying geysers of reishi and that in turn causes the pressure spikes and the number of hollows being attracted lately” Urahara said.
“But I thought any reishi in Karakura Town was found in the more natural areas?” Chad said. The shopkeeper again nodded.
“You’re correct, in fact, those areas that have had reishi spikes hold none at all, not even a little bit and on top of that, there are no pockets of reishi underneath Karakura Town, they’re just happening.”
“What could be causing it then?” Ichigo asked, his thoughts going to the brown haired traitor, “Could it be Aizen?” Urahara this time shook his head in a negative.
“No, even with Aizens immense power and the Hogyoku, he would never be able to influence Karakura in this way, but what or whoever is causing this, obviously has no idea of the disaster It could bring” Yoruichi said, shocking the three teenagers.
“What do you mean?” Orihime asked.
“While realms like the Soul Society are made up of Reishi, the Human world is made up of what is known as Kishi, atoms and such and to make a long story short, Atoms and spirit particles don’t mix well” Urahara said.
“And what could happen if they do?” Ichigo asked, dreading the answer already.
“…Complete annihilation of Karakura Town and everything in it” the shopkeeper said in a grave tone. Ichigo slammed his fist on the table, scaring the three Mod souls.
“Well we have to do something! Can’t you pinpoint the location or something? Just tell me who is doing it and I’ll wipe them out!” Ichigo said, determination burning in his eyes more than ever before. Urahara opened his fan and smiled behind it.
“Calm down Ichigo, these Reishi spikes are minor, it would take a Reishi spike with the energy equivalent to the Soul Society for that to happen and these so far had been nothing more than hollow magnets. There is no doubt in my mind that the Soul Society is looking in to this as well, for now I just need you to relax and let us handle it, we’ll find what’s causing this in no time and you’ll be the first one I call” Urahara said. Lirin brought the three teenagers a tray of tea, the three of them taking a cup.
“Fine…” the deathberry sighed, trying to calm himself down.
“What about the hollow that attacked us, why was it so much more powerful than the ones before?” Orihime asked.
“Great question Inoue-chan!” Urahara said, his attitude making a complete 180 turn, “You see, like in the Soul Society, in the Hollow world, there are rankings on power, the normal hollows and Menos Grande are in fact, the weakest in the rankings” that was a shock. Urahara chose to continue, not hearing any questions coming his way.
“The three ranks are known as Gillian, the Foot Soldiers, which are taller than most buildings in Karakura Town, the Adjuchas, the Lieutenants and slightly more human like than Gillian but still pretty big, and the Vasto Lordes, the Captains and the most human like. Menos Grande are Gillian and despite their size and power, are some of the weaker hollows unless they travel in large packs, besides the normal ones that you normally face, as I said before.”
“So that one we fought was an Adjuchas” Chad deduced.
“That’s correct; Adjuchas are capable of using some of the more advanced techniques of Hollows and no offense, but I’m actually surprised you were able to damage it at all, Adjuchas are able to give even above average Lieutenants a run for their money” Yoruichi said.
“What about Vasto Lordes? What should we look for if one of them shows up?” Ichigo asked.
“You don’t have to worry about them, there’s only about a handful of them in the hollow world and they never bother coming to the Human world because they don’t have to feed on souls as much as Gillian and Adjuchas, but if one of them ever does show up…” one of his steely grey eyes peeked out from under the brim of his hat and gave them a grave look.
“Whether you run away or choose to fight, you won’t survive long enough to study its skills or even long enough to blink, that’s how powerful a Vasto Lordes is” The three teenagers were frozen in stunned silence, only to be broken when the serious Yoruichi and Urahara burst out laughing.
“Ahahahaha! You should’ve seen the looks on your faces!” Yoruichi said.
“Ahahaha! Priceless! Ahahahahaha!” Urahara said. A tick mark grew on Ichigo’s forehead and he tried to pounce over the table and attack, only to be restrained by Chad and Orihime, trying to pull him back while the Mod souls tried to keep him from moving forward, Ichigo was really strong when he’s angry.
“You bastards!” He said with a smirk on his face. After a few minutes everyone calmed down, though Orihime and Chad were still prepared to restrain Ichigo if need be.
“So what should we do?” Ichigo asked.
“You and your friends do what you can to keep the hollows in check while the Soul Society and I deal with the Reishi Fluctuations, now unless you’re going to buy something…”
The three teenagers were thrown out of the shop, “Get Out!” The door closed behind them.
“That’s it!” Ichigo pulled out his combat pass to go Shinigami and level the shop with a getsuga tensho but Chad and Orihime stopped him.
“That would be a bad decision Ichigo” Chad said.
“I’d make you pay for the damages Carrot-top” Urahara said, opening the door and closing quickly as Ichigo kicked off his shoe, trying to hit the shopkeeper in the face.
“Dammit” Ichigo just sighed again and jammed his hands in to his pockets, “Orihime, do you want me to walk you home?” he asked. The auburn haired girl nodded, the three of them said their goodbyes, Chad walking one way and Ichigo and Orihime walking another.
*****
“Are you worried, Kurosaki-kun?” Orihime asked
“Worried about what?” Ichigo said.
“About everything the Urahara-san told us, about how Hollows are going to be attacking more frequently and the Reishi spikes, all the damage it could cause” Orihime said.
“…I’d be lying if I said I was totally calm about it…but like everything else that has threatened my friends, I’ll find out what’s going on and put a stop to it” he said. Orihime smiled, she always felt safe around the orange haired teen.
That finally reached Orihime’s home when the spiritual pressure became incredibly heavy around them, once it lifted Orihime gasped.
“Oh no” she said, Ichigo took out his mod soul pill and swallowed it, Kon stepping back beside the auburn haired girl and Ichigo taking Zangetsu off of his back. They looked up to see a dark void open in the sky and a large hollow fall to the earth, Ichigo shielding Orihime from the cloud of dust.
“All these Hollows are starting to get on my nerves” Ichigo grumbled.
As the smoke cleared there stood a large hollow with an elongated, alligator like mask, four razor sharp claws on its claws and a long spiked bone white tail, saliva dripped from its open mouth, looking between the Shinigami and two humans, all of them wielding impressive spiritual energy.
“Is this the Adjuchas that attacked you, Orihime?” Ichigo asked, glaring at the hollow before him.
“No, this one is weaker, but not by much” the auburn haired girl said.
“All right, Kon, if anything happens, take Orihime and Run, you got that?” Ichigo asked his mod soul.
“…Yeah.”
“Enough talk!” the hollow roared as it rushed towards the orange haired Shinigami, sparks rained down as its claw clashed with Zangetsu, Ichigo pushing the hollow off balance and making a good sized gash in its palm.
“Bastard! Bala!” The hollow fired a red energy bullet, Ichigo unable to keep up with the speed and being struck in the chest, the hollow disappeared in a burst of static and appeared behind the orange haired shinigami.
‘Damn!’
“Kurosaki-kun!/Ichigo!” Orihime and Kon yelled in unison.
“I’ve got you!” the alligator hollow lashed out with its tail and struck Ichigo in his stomach, the spikes cutting in to his stomach and sending him flying in to the ground, bouncing across the asphalt, skidding to a halt. The hollow turned on the mod soul and Orihime.
“Mmmm, Appetizers” It lunged for Orihime first, Kon overcoming his fear and breaking the hollows wrist with a powerful axe kick.
“Ahhhh!” The hollow roared in pain, but Kon wasn’t done, he hopped in to the air and struck the hollow with a powerful kick to the side of its head, it was at that moment he realized what he was doing.
“Ahhh!” the mod soul taking cover behind Orihime, “I must be nuts or something!” The alligator hollow recovered and attacked, Zangetsu flying out of nowhere and catching the hollow in its stomach, making a large gash as it through him in to the air.
“Dammit Kon…Thanks for protecting Orihime, but if anything happens to my body you’re as good as dead” Ichigo said, spinning the large zanbato rapidly by the tail of cloth.
“Rrraaagghhh!” the hollow let loose an earth splitting roar, charging a red ball of energy in front of its mouth and firing a powerful cero. Ichigo swung the sword down, making contact with the beam and destroying it.
“Kotan Zanshun! I reject!” Orihime said, the hollow side stepped the fast light that shot towards him, Ichigo appeared in mid-air with Zangetsu raised above his head and blue energy flames surrounding the blade.
“Getsuga Tensho!” The hollow disappeared in a burst of speed, appearing near Orihime, hoping to have one last meal, Ichigo turned in mid-air and launched a crescent wave, hitting the hollow in the back and sending it rolling down the road.
The hollow staggered to its feet, feeling an approaching spiritual energy, it spun around, lashing out with its tail, and Ichigo had jumped over it just in time.
“Now let’s try this one more time” Ichigo said, blue energy flames covering the butcher knife sword, the Hollow didn’t stand a chance against the attack as the sword came down, making contact with its neck, the energy wave tearing through its body, the powerful attack kicking up a large cloud of smoke, as it cleared Ichigo was standing, shouldering Zangetsu and the hollow was on its hands and knees, bleeding profusely.
The orange haired Shinigami jumped away as the alligator hollow started to rise to its feet.
“Why hasn’t it disappeared yet?” Orihime asked, wondering if this was no ordinary hollow.
“You’ll see” Ichigo said, and the moment he did, the ground began to shake, a massive pair of doors rose from the ground, a pair of skeletons adorned them, their arms positioned as if they’re opening the gates.
“The Hell Gates” Ichigo said, placing Zangetsu on his back.
*****
Ryuketsu felt a pull and he started to float towards something, he looked to see a light growing larger in the distance.
“…Lady luck, you’ve done it again”
*****
“Hang on Orihime!” Ichigo grabbed the auburn haired girl just as a powerful wind came from the dark void behind the door, the large doors being held together by rope and four charms, a large hand wielding a tanto shot out just as the hollows body dissolved revealing a spirit, it impaled him through his chest, his agony filled scream reached their ears and Orihime averted her eyes, Kon too afraid to look away. The spirit was carried away in to the darkness, but the gate didn’t close.
“What the…” Ichigo said, Orihime looked back at the gate and it had not closed.
“Kurosaki-kun?”
“I don’t know what’s going on” the orange haired Shinigami informed her. The next moment a dark figure was thrown out of the gate, rolling across the road and coming to a stop, moments later the gate closed and disappeared below the earth.
The figure started to stand, Ichigo and Orihime could see spiky silver hair, but the face was covered by an odd mask.
“Who are you?” Ichigo questioned, seeing the swords on the figures back and in his right hand, he immediately pulled Zangetsu off of his back, ready to fight once more. The male before them looked their way.
No one said anything for a few moments, and then the silence was broken.
“Hi there” the silver haired man said. Ichigo continued glaring at the man while Orihime gave him a confused expression.
“I’ll ask one more time, who the hell are you?” The silver haired man looked at him for a moment before tilting his head to the left.
“Kinda rude to ask someone for their name and not give them yours beforehand, don’t ya think?” a tic mark grew on Ichigo’s forehead and a sweat drop hung over Orihime’s and Kon’s heads.
“Well, if you insist, my name is Ryuk-“ he stopped abruptly and fell forward, hitting the ground with a thud.
Orihime gasped and ran to his side.
“Orihime! Don’t” Ichigo said.
“He’s injured” she said, seeing the blood slowly beginning to pool underneath his body.
“So what, he’s probably an enemy, just look at him” Ichigo said.
“I can’t just leave him, please Ichigo, help me get him inside” Orihime pleaded, despite the man being a stranger wielding a deadly looking sword on his back, she couldn’t stand to see anyone hurt. The deathberry walked over to the unconscious body and sighed seeing the look in Orihime’s eyes, he picked up the unconscious form and carried him in to Orihime’s home, the O-katana still tightly gripped in his hand.
“Lay him down here” Orihime said, laying down a blanket on her living room floor, Ichigo took the large sword off of the man’s back and laid him down where he was told, he and Kon stood aside while Orihime kneeled beside the unconscious man.
“Shun’o, Ayame, Soten Kisshun (Twin Sacred Return Shield) I Reject” Orihime said quietly, two lights shooting from her hairpins and creating a half oval barrier over the silver haired man. Ichigo had been busy inspecting the large sword, the odd shape and components as if it was built and not entirely forged as a real sword would be, and it certainly didn’t look like Any zanpakuto he had seen.
The orange haired Shinigami looked up from the sword and noticed something peculiar.
“What’s up Ichigo?” Kon asked, the orange haired Shinigami leant the sword against the wall along with his own and stepped forward and kneeled beside his auburn haired friend.
“His right arm” Ichigo said bluntly. Kon looked over his owners shoulder and Orihime looked herself and gasped. While they could see his body was human, his right arm from the elbow down was demonic, covered black demon like skin with a crack going through it and growing bigger at the top of the hand.
“That’s freaky” Kon stated.
“Kurosaki-kun, can you tell if either of his swords are zanpakuto?” Orihime asked. The deathberry shook his head in a negative.
“No, the larger one is strange though, and that one in his hand…there is a dark feel around it, I can’t exactly explain it” Ichigo said, “Orihime, I’m going to back to my house to get an overnight bag, this guy doesn’t look like he’ll be waking up anytime soon, but when he does, I want to be here to question him, is it all right if I stay here tonight?” Ichigo asked the auburn haired girl blushed profusely, and started to sputter incoherently; Kon giggled perversely but was cut off when Ichigo slammed his combat pass in to his chest, Ichigo’s human body fell unconscious and the mod soul pill fell in to his hand.
“I…I-I-I…I g-g-guess th-that would b-be a-a-all r-right” Orihime sputtered. Ichigo chuckled and returned and slung his body over his shoulder, taking off out the door towards his house.
*****
Shinji floated upside down in the air with his fingers interlaced behind his head, he sighed as he saw Ichigo race out of Orihime’s front door with his body slung over his shoulder.
“Dammit” he took out a cellphone and dialed a number…
“Hello” a female voice was heard on the other end.
“I won’t be able to talk to Ichigo tonight” Shinji said in a bored tone.
“What! What the hell do you mean you won’t be able to talk to him?” the girl yelled.
“He’s going to be staying with a friend of his, I can’t talk to him without blowing my cover, and if I do that then that would be only opportunity and the orange haired idiot is just as stubborn as you” Shinji said.
“Who the hell are you calling Stubborn, Baldy!” the girl yelled.
“Sigh, I’m hanging up now” Shinji said in an annoyed tone. The girl had started to yell and the blond snapped the phone shut.
“…What the hell did I just do?” he asked himself in a dejected tone.
*****
“…That…Bald Jackass…hung up…on Me!” a blond girl growled, slowly putting the phone back in to its cradles, slowly adding more and more pressure until the body broke and the pieces lay scattered.
“Lisa! Love! Training! Now! Hachi! Barrier!”
“Sigh, dammit Shinji”
*****
Ichigo entered his home in his human body and raced up the stairs, dodging his father’s dropkick, the elder Kurosaki male crashing in to the wall.
“Do you know how late it is? I was worried sick!” Isshin yelled up to his son.
“With you training? No way, I can take care of myself, nothing can surprise me” Ichigo said as a compliment to his father as he disappeared around the corner and in to his room, his father taking the bait.
“Hahahaha! I knew you would come around!” Isshin said, laughing triumphantly, “My son finally realizes the importance of proper combat training” Ichigo came racing down the stairs two at a time.
“Yeah, I’ll be studying at Orihime’s place, don’t wait up” Ichigo said.
“Bye Ichi-nii!” Yuzu and Karin yelled after him.
“See ya!” and the orange haired teen was out the door. Isshin was still triumphantly smiling and laughing at his son’s acknowledgement of his teaching skills.
“Um tou-san, you do realize what just happened right?” Karin asked.
“Haha! Yes! My son finally accepts that my surprise attacks are for his sake!” Isshin said.
“And what happened after that?” Karin asked.
“Haha! He said that he would be studying at Ori…hime’s…House!” He stopped laughing as realization dawned on him.
“Oh Misaki-chan! Our boy is finally going to become a man and give us many grandchildren to spoil!” Isshin said happily, launching himself at the wall sized poster of his late wife, Misaki Kurosaki and latching on to it, “We’ll finally have that third Daughter!” he cried anime tears of joy.
“…Idiot” Karin and surprisingly Yuzu said.
“…Ah! But wait! What if he messes up? I haven’t properly trained him for this moment! ICHIGO!” just as the Kurosaki Patriarch was about to speed out the door when he ran in to the fists of his twin daughters.
“Perv” Karin said, dragging him in to the kitchen for dinner.

The silver haired stranger was still lying inside of Orihime’s Soten Kisshun, Ichigo sitting on her living room couch eating from an instant cup of ramen. Orihime was currently in her kitchen cooking one of her infamous recipes.
“Kurosaki-kun, are you sure you don’t want to try some of my red bean bread with wasabi paste, chocolate and honey?” Orihime asked. Ichigo inwardly shuddered.
“No thanks Orihime, I’ll stick to my ramen” Ichigo said.
“Oh, all right then”
‘How does she eat that stuff? It’s not humanly possible’ Ichigo thought. They both heard a noise and saw the stranger sit up, phasing through the healing shield and looking around.
“What smells so good?” he asked.
“Hey!” he turned around to see Ichigo set his ramen cup on the table, the orange haired Shinigami was glaring daggers at him, “I’m going to ask you some questions and I expect answers.”
“Mind telling me who you are first?” the figure said, Orihime’s Shun Shun Rikka returning to her hairclips.
“…Ichigo Kurosaki, who are you?”
“The name is Ryuketsu…” at that moment a loud growl was heard, Ichigo deadpanned and Orihime chuckled, both of them with a sweat drop hanging over their heads. The silver haired man put a hand on his own stomach; they could tell he was blushing.
“Can I get something to eat?”

-> Don’t take what Isshin said out of context, he means taking proper precautions and how to please a woman, what helps...
