*~*~*~*
Tilting his head as the doorbell rang, Ichigo bit into another grape and looked to his eldest lover before making a sound. “I forgot that Elizabeth would be coming over to work on a few things with me and for lunch,” he finally said, Sebastian smiling and going to let her in, explaining what was going on in the main room as he lead them to the others. Once introductions had been given and the two demonic butlers had brought in another chair for Ciel and a couch for Elizabeth, Soma and Agni, Ichigo continued on with his tale. “As I was saying, my story starts when my sisters and I lost our mother.
“I was six years of age and it was just after karate class where I had gotten my ass royally kicked by Tatsuki, a still good friend of mine. She had been the one who taught me most of what I was trying to learn from the teacher by the way,” he snorted as he wiped his fingers on a napkin. “It was a chilly day with rain coming down pretty hard. My mother had come to pick me up and take me home, tou-chan and my sisters at home already. I was six, Yuzu and Karin were 4 at the time but we all had to grow up so fast.”
Elizabeth sighed softly, eyes staring at her friend even as she pulled her embroidery stand to her. “I remember you telling me about your sisters’ the last time we talked. It hurts to know that they and you lost your mother so early in life.”
“Yes, it did,” Ichigo said, smiling sweetly at her as he shifted on the chair with a wince. Isshin narrowed his eyes at his son and frowned heavily when all he got was a smile from him. “To move on, it was as I was walking down the street with her and we were passing by a river that was fast rising past its banks. At the time I didn’t truly understand that I could see spirits, much less any other creatures that were a part of the spiritual world. This included such being called Hollows.
“Now hollows are Pluses, or souls, that have lost their Chain of Fate and have lost what made them human at one time. Hollows...well their entire being change and they gain powers of a sort but as a Hollow get’s stronger so do their powers,” he explained, everyone listening with serious expressions on their faces. “What I thought I saw was a little girl standing on the bank of the river. What it really was, was a hollow named Grand Fisher that had a type of...lure I suppose. He reminds me of a deep sea fish that I believe won’t be discovered for many a year here still now that I think of it. Either way, I went after the little girl and my mother saved me from being consumed by Grand Fisher.”
Isshin took in a deep, slow breath as he felt the pain that his child had gone through for so long. “I am sorry I was not able to get there for you or for your mother,” he said softly. Ichigo reached out and took his hand, smiling gently at him with understanding shining in his eyes.
“You had no idea that a Hollow would come after me so soon. At the time, my ability to see souls was where Yuzu’s was for the most part. They were there, they didn’t have forms but they had voices,” he said quietly. “It’s not your fault.”
“Just as it is not your fault, not completely if anything,” Isshin rumbled, Ichigo nodding his head.
“After our mother died we grew up fast. Yuzu started to learn how to cook while Karin and I became the strong ones, the protective ones. I never truly healed while the girls were able to heal over our mother’s death. As the years passed my power grew and I had no idea that I had to train it much less just how much I had at my disposal. At least not until I met Rukia,” he chuckled, shaking his head. “It was her first time working in the Living World and apparently she had thought that she was hunting down a spirit and only a spirit. What she didn’t know was that the guy had followed after me because I could see it.
“So when she came into my room via my window, let me tell you, I was shocked. There I was, sitting at my desk, trying to deal with this soul that was bugging me and this small woman, dressed like someone from the Warring States Era of Japan, comes hopping through my window. She did not expect me to be able to see her,” he chuckled, shaking his head. Chuckling, Ichigo crossed his legs and smiled when Sebastian placed a large pillow behind his back, allowing him to lean against it and rest. “She was even more surprised when I broke her kido spell that she wrapped me in when I saw a hollow attacking my family. After she had gotten hurt, she transferred her powers to me and awoke my shinigami powers, cracking the box that held them closed from the rest of the world.”
Isshin smiled as Kensei lent forward, resting his elbows on his knees, Renji and Soi-fon listening avidly. They hadn’t heard the full story of how it all started and were endlessly fascinated by it. The rest of the guests were surprised that such a young man could have done and seen so much and still be sane.
“I was fifteen when I first met Rukia. And after Byakuya and Renji here came to get her, destroying my zanpakuto, Zangetsu, and the link to Rukia’s power in the process, Urahara helped me open the box to my powers. What we didn’t know at the time was that Shirosaki had already been forming deep somewhere in my soul,” Ichigo continued on, pulling a piece of bread apart slowly before eating a small bite of it. “It took nearly three days for me to regain my powers and a day for Shirosaki to fully form. It took another three days for me to not only discover Zangetsu’s true form but to get used to him enough to wield him properly. After a short time of resting while Urahara opened the portal, Sado, Orihime and Uryuu all agreed to come with me to the Soul Society, each for their own reasons while Yourichi played a kitty tour guide for us.
“Once we got to Soul Society, I found myself meeting Ganju Shiba the night before we go up against the gates guardian. That particular meeting was interesting considering I was brash and hard headed back them, and Ganju got on my nerves with his need to put the Shinigami down. I now know why he insulted them so much but it doesn’t mean I liked it,” he stated, stopping the questions that he could see coming a mile away. “We were stopped from entering the Seireitei by a man named Gin Ichimaru, but we were eventually able to get in with the help of Ganju’s sister, Kukaku and her Reishukaku, which allowed us to get past the barrier that surrounds the walls of Seireitei.
“We ended up separated unfortunately. Uryuu was with Orihime while Sado ended up alone, along with Yoruichi while I landed with Ganju, though we ended up separated anyway due to the first fights that we found ourselves in,” Ichigo snickered, shaking his head. “Along the way, Ganju and I came together once more before meeting a sweet healer named Hanatoru. During the time he was with us, he healed me, helped us get to where Rukia was and was thought to be traitor while Yourichi ran away with me so I could learn Bankai so I was on a somewhat even footing with the taichos.”
“Aww, you’re not going to tell us all the details of your fights?” Alois cooed, pouting from his place and getting an amused look from Ichigo.
“I think that it would take nearly two days to actually go through all of his fights, if I read him right,” Soma said, bursting into laughter as the light smirk on Ichigo’s lips as he sipped at his tea, legs uncrossing before crossing once more. Isshin gave him a searching look, his son just smiling once more as he shifted, making his father make a sound like a dying cat.
“My child...” he whimpered, Ichigo blushing lightly and closing his eyes as he calmly sipped his tea.
“Say it and I’ll make sure that Urahara will have to find another play toy for a few months,” Ichigo threatened, sounding sweet as sugar while saying the words. Kensei and Renji smirked, knowing that tone of voice as Isshin whimpered and Urahara pouted at his student.
“And why am I being punished?” Urahara asked, huffing and getting a smirk as Ichigo eyed Undertaker next to him.
“Oh, I’m sure that Undertaker-san will help keep you busy during that time,” Ichigo cooed, smiling lightly at him. Urahara eyed the man next to him before leering.
“My student is so brilliant,” he chuckled, making Ichigo roll his eyes. “Please, continue on,” Urahara prompted as Ichigo put the cup aside and shifted slightly again, finally finding a comfortable position.
“As I was saying, Yourichi stole me away to train me for my bankai. After some missteps and a slow start, we were finally ready to take on the idiots who were trying to kill her for daring to give up her powers the way she did. After everything was said and done, several of the shinigami actually turning on their fellow shinigami before the truth came out, Sosuke Aizen, Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen had been discovered as traitors,” he sighed, eyes sad at all of the pain and heartbreak that had been created and just for a pretty little jewel with untold power. “Aizen did all of it for a powerful jewel like object called the Hogyoku. At least the one that had been created by Urahara, Aizen combining the two while I was under his...care.
“And I shall get to that in a moment. Urahara here, in all of his glorious wisdom, had stuck his Hogyoku into Rukia’s soul while she was in a gigai to heal. Unfortunately, his brilliant plan to turn her into a human and therefore nullify his Hogyoku to a point didn’t work, Aizen killing the entire of the Central 46, who were the ones who handed down most orders for what was to happen to those Shinigami who broke laws,” he continued, staring at Urahara with an almost bored look. “That means that Rukia was almost killed but luckily, Aizen just used something to remove the jewel from Rukia, leaving several of us injured to a point of near death while he and his two fellow traitors escaped to Hueco Mundo, the World of the Hollows. After that...well, I learned how to find a sort of balance with Shirosaki under the help of my fellow Vizards, Kensei being one of them. And when did you go back to Soul Society?” he asked, finally frowning at the silver haired man.
“About a year ago actually. We had been working heavily with them to find you and bring you home and they needed competent taichos,” Kensei chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. “So me and Shinji went back, taking over the Fifth and the Ninth. Shinji is dealing with Kira and helping him get over Gin’s betrayal.” Shifting, he rubbed at his chin and smirked. “I also landed me a hot fukutaicho as a mate.”
“Finally,” Ichigo huffed, rolling his eyes. “I swear the first time I met Shuuhei-kun and he found out that I knew you he wanted to know everything there was about you,” he snorted, draining his tea. “Anyway, nearly three years ago I was captured as I was walking home from a late night study session with Uryuu and Sado. Aizen wanted to apparently play with my mind mostly and didn’t really mess with me physically but rather mentally. I was bound by manacles, starved occasionally if I made him unhappy about something or another, and often saw him but he wanted my father to hurt the most so he was biding his time until tou-chan came out of hiding since I had set them up to go into hiding before I was taken,” he sighed, eyes closing.
Ciel stood up and moved to sweep Ichigo into his arms, sitting down on the chair and holding his lover in his lap, fingers lacing with his lover’s long fingered hand. “Slowly now,” he said quietly, rubbing his thumb over his mate’s knuckles and getting a small, loving smile.
“I can tell you that Aizen has some grand plans and likes talking about it. Often,” Ichigo finally said, eyes flaring with his anger. “He plans on moving to other dimensions, other worlds. He is so egotistical that he wants to run them all. He wants to be the ultimate God for everyone and make the worlds over in his image. That is why I asked for you to come here. Due to our worlds being so close on the tree, so to speak, this world will end up being the first on his list. We can not let that happen but we could use a front line for this world that knows what he is doing while we go deal with him in my original world.”
“Why did you come here? I think we are all wondering that,” Undertaker purred, leaning forward with interested eyes.
Ichigo smiled lightly. “After I was helped in escaping by the four under Aizen’s control, Shirosaki decided that I needed to get to somewhere where I would be well protected and cared for while I was healing. At least that’s what he told me outside of an instinctive need to do so. Telling you about what is going on wasn’t really decided until last week, when we sent out the invitations to meet here,” he said, shrugging as he blushed. “But I can tell you that I am glad that Shiro brought me here.”
“So am I, my sweet son! Give daddy a hug, my uke child!” Isshin said, bounding up off the chair and trying to pounce on his child. Ciel simply sighed and shoved the chair back, letting Isshin land on the floor and skid a few feet.
“Will I end up getting used to dodging him?” Ciel asked, Ichigo nodding with a smirk.
“Yes, you will end up dodging him often,” Ichigo sighed before smiling and pressing a kiss to Ciel’s cheek. “Thank you for dodging him though.”
“Like I would allow him to just suddenly attack you with a hug,” Ciel sniffed, looking down at the still twitching Isshin. “Perhaps we should go to the dining room for lunch? I believe that you wished to speak with Urahara about creating a place for you to practice your skills before we leave for your original dimension in a month I believe it was.”
“Yes, we should,” Ichigo hummed, standing up and straightening his skirts. Taking one of Ciel’s arms and then one of Sebastian’s, they led the way to the dining room, Ichigo making sure to step on his father’s back, getting a dying cat sound from the man once more.
