*~*~*~*
It was like watching a well practiced dance in Renji’s opinion. Granted, a deadly dance that involved zanpactou's, kidos, and kicks and punches, but a dance nonetheless. Ichigo was going up against his zanpactou, a being that looked young with semi-longish hair and a jacket that was ragged on the bottom, but was a powerful being with a bit of hollow instinct.
Ichigo had admitted that sometimes there was a whisper of the hollow that could have been, just a tickle and suggestion in the back of his mind. And didn’t that beat all? He had all of the benefits of having a hollow but none of the actual drawbacks, including having to fight to stay as the main being in possession of the body.
Currently Ichigo was looking a bit more pale, training to use that hollow taint. His skin had flushed white, becoming more resistant to cuts and attacks, his eyes more honey than chocolate. A streak of white matched his zanpactou’s in his brightly colored hair and made him wonder just how tight Ichigo and his zanpactou spirit actually was.
“You’re thinking rather hard,” a cultured English voice drawled from beside him, giving the Japanese words a decidedly interesting tilt. Renji shook his head and turned to the young male next to him, one blue and one purple eye gazing back in return.
“Ah, yeah,” Renji hummed, turning to watch as Ichigo skidded across the floor on the balls of his feet before using the momentum to turn the skid into several flips that landed him on a large boulder. “I just wasn’t really expecting him to be so well trained,” he said, looking to Ciel as the young demon raised an eyebrow.
“Sebastian and I have been Ichigo’s guardians for the last three years, Abarai. We wanted to make sure that he was well and truly trained so we took that power and trained him to use it even in his living body,” Ciel said, shrugging and tasting the wine in his cup, Sebastian standing near them and looking highly amused. “Grell and William have also been helping him learn and train. He knows how to fight with several types of weapons and in several styles. He’s taken to combining moves, practicing them until he gets them smooth and easy.”
“It took him nearly two years to master half of his techniques, but once he did master something, he continued to learn and practice as needed. He doesn’t stop learning and practicing,” Sebastian drawled as he sat near them, Grell sitting off to the side and muttering about never leaving his chainsaw around if Ichigo was pissed off again.
“He’s even learned how to wield William’s and Grell’s weapons, even Grell’s small scissors if that’s all he could get his hands on,” Ciel chuckled softly and shook his head.
“Yeah, but when he does, he tends to use them as a stabbing implement,” Grell snorted, flashing a sharp tooth smile at them before flipping over onto his hands and knees, crawling over to them before leaning against Ciel. “Though, I did love how he used them to stab out the practice dummies eye before jabbing them further inwards to kill them completely with a nice hard kick.”
“He takes after Ciel in the regards that he’s not one to pull punches when it comes to doing what he needs to do, especially against those who killed his father and sisters,” Ciel hummed, shaking his head with a sad look on his face.
“What exactly happened?” Renji asked softly as Ichigo and Zangetsu once more crossed swords in a flurry of clashes and growls. “Rukia said that even she doesn’t know details,” he admitted, shrugging one shoulder as Ciel hummed. Shuuhei and William walked over to them, having been going over the warding seals together and talking about how things were going on from the perspective of a fukutaicho.
“What are we speaking of now?” William asked as he came to sit next to Renji, nodding when Sebastian held up a glass in offer.
“We are speaking of what happened to Ichigo’s family,” Sebastian said, pouring the wine and handing over the glass with a nod. “As to the exact details, we don’t know them all right now. We can put the information together, get a general picture of it but...we’re not sure as to who did it.”
“We know that whoever it was did it under orders from someone not the sou-taicho, which means that they broke a basic law of the Seireitei’s base. We also know that it was someone from the Second Division, but again, we’re not sure as to who it was,” Grell drawled, shrugging one shoulder. “Ichigo found their bodies actually.”
“He did?” Shuuhei asked, eyebrows furrowed together as he nodded and took the wine glass offered to him. At that moment, he would have preferred sake but the sweet wine would help him listen to what they were about to hear.
“Indeed,” William sighed, rubbing at his face. “He and his classmates had just gotten back from a two week field trip to Tokyo. His uncle had dropped him off at the house. Keep in mind that we didn’t know that Ichigo had other family in the world, his mother having never said a damn thing about him before hand. We found out that rather interesting bit of information watching her reels,” he said, Sebastian and Ciel sharing looks.
“We knew of him but not his name,” Ciel hummed before shrugging. “Anyways, he was unlucky enough to find them soon after they had died. Undertaker, another Grim Reaper friend of ours, was able to collect their souls. Right now, they are resting, regathering their strength before they are placed in a safe place,” he continued.
“I see,” Renji hummed, he and Shuuhei turning to watch Ichigo fight against his zanpactou. The red head rubbed at his jaw line with the back of his hand as he thought. “He’s fighting the physical manifestation of Zangetsu to become stronger right? To reinforce the bond between them right?” he asked.
“Yes, that’s correct,” William hummed. “Grim Reapers don’t have a spirit like the Shinigami but we do have quite a bit of power that we do need to control over time. To do this is to fight a physical manifestation of ourselves, our very being. Urahara thought that it would work with Ichigo and the bond that he shares with Zangetsu.”
“So, he fights and he learns his weaknesses and he gets stronger,” Shuuhei mused, Grell waving his wine glass with a smile.
“Right in one,” Grell chuckled. “He has a driving force to get better, to stop what happened to him from happening to any others,” he said, “so he works on getting better every day. And he works on mastering his powers as much as he can. Hell, to do that, he’s learned how to bind his powers, only allowing a fraction of his power to be usable to learn how to control it all. He’s gotten quite good hasn’t he?” he asked, smiling slightly as Ichigo’s skin flushed his normal skin tone and he dropped to the ground, blowing out a slow breath Zangetsu stood near him and watched him carefully.
“It’s amazing what could happen in only a few months,” Ciel hummed. “With his previous training, this is just putting that old training to a new use. He’s a strong young man and one that will shake this world to its very foundations.”
“Isn’t that what you want to do though? Shake things up? Change things so that the balance is fixed again?” Shuuhei asked, raising an eyebrow at the young demon.
“Yes, but our first priority is protecting Ichigo and his priority is getting rid of those who killed his family,” Sebastian stated, eyes darkening to a dried blood color. “If we do more than that it is because it is a part of our first mission,” he continued, shaking his head. “We will try to do this with no casualties of those who are innocent, but we do not make promises.”
“We can understand that,” Renji hummed, nodding his head as he stood up with a grunt, stretching his arms very slowly over his head. “We’ll help you guys and I know that Rukia is willing to help in anyway that she can. Just...tell us what the plan is? Or at least the start of it all?” he asked. Shuuhei nodded sharply, the others sharing speaking looks before Ciel smirked slowly.
“Very well. It shall start by getting captured,” Ciel drawled before outlining what would happen, Ichigo joining them only to eat something before going back to his training.
They had so much to plan for and so much to prepare for after all. And now they had even more allies.
