AN Okay, time for the last Oppositeverse mainverse fic! After this will be the two fics that don't take place in the same universe, but take place in a connected multiverse. I've been looking forward to this one. I have so many ideas for this one! I hope everyone enjoys it!
I don't own Bleach
Chapter 1
Shi opened his eyes as he stared all around. He was in a forest, that much he knew, but he didn't know exactly where the forest was located or how he even ended up there. He can't recall much of anything actually. All he knows is that his name is Shi and that he is a shinigami. Other than that, he can't remember that much. He slowly sat in an upright position while looking around. This place seemed highly familiar, but he just couldn't recall why exactly.
Shi looked around and saw his sword...his zapakuto if he remembered the word correctly. He reached over and grasped the zanpakuto. It looked like a simple katana, but it's hilt was pure black while the blade had a white wing design on it. He just stared at his zanpakuto, admiring the form and design that the blade held. He couldn't believe that such a beautiful blade belonged to him. He placed it on his hip and stood to his feet.
He began to walk out of the forest. No sense in sitting around waiting for someone or something to show up and do who knows what to him. As he trudged along, he saw a pond with some animals drinking out of it. He made a stop and changed course to the pond. He walked up to the pond and looked down at the water. He saw his reflection and gasped as he rubbed his cheek. Shi was rather short, at around 4'10-4'11. He had shoulder length purple hair with a blonde streak with two long bangs framing his face. He was wearing the normal black kimono, or...shihakusho, if he is remembering correctly and a pair of sandals.
He had a large scar across the bridge of his nose that was oddly shaped like an angel wing. Who would make a scar like that? He rubbed the scar only to bite down hard in pain. It must still be fairly new. Which means it must have happened while he was out in the forest. So whatever caused this scar must also be responsible for his amnesia. But...what could possibly have done that. Hm...if he remembers correctly shinigami help souls move on to the Soul Society, and they also fight...what were they called. Something with an 'H.'
"Horror? Holla? No, that's not it," a quiet, gentle voice said.
Suddenly, a loud roar spread throughout the forest catching Shi's attention as he turned around. This was not good. That creature that he was thinking of...there must be one in the forest. He couldn't remember most things. What if he couldn't remember his fighting skills. What if he never had any fighting skills! What if that's why he was abandoned in the forest by himself? What if he was some waste of space shinigami, and they just wanted to get rid of him!
He grabbed his zanpakuto and held it in what he thought was a defensive stance. He looked around trying to spot the creature while also trying to remember how to fight.
"Come on! This is totally not fair! Why did this have to happen to me?!"
Shi's quiet voice echoed throughout the area he was standing in. Shi looked around when suddenly he heard the leaves in the bush rustle followed by all the animals around the pond scurrying off. Sadly, a black figure sped pass Shi and attacked a deer that was trying to run away. Shi gasped and covered his mouth at the horror of the creature ripping the deer apart. Shi closed his eyes and looked away while trying to block out the sounds of the deer being ripped to pieces.
He soon got his wish as the area went silent. Shi sighed in relief before realizing that the sound of silence was not good. He peeked at where the creature was at and saw it staring at him. He quickly brought his zanpakuto up and pointed it at Shi trying to intimidate while also trying not to vomit at the sight of blood dripping down from its mouth while the remains of the deer lied at its feet. It was a 15' long creature with praying mantis arms and small wings that clearly couldn't lift him off the ground. It had an spider like head, but a sharp, human set of teeth in it's mouth.
Shi swallowed some saliva while slowly backing up. Unfortunately for Shi, he stepped on a small twig on the ground. This caught its attention as it perked up at the sound. Shi felt like a wave of terror hit him at the realization that he was probably about to die. It wasn't fair! He had just woken up like fifteen minutes ago with barely any memories. Now he was going to be killed by a...by a...damn it! What are they called?! Shi looked to the side for a second while trying to think before it hit him.
"You're a hollow!" Shi yelled while pointing at it before feeling himself move to the side. He wondered why he did that when all of a sudden the creature went soaring by where he was just at. Shi sighed in relief before jumping away while the creature regained its bearings. Shi turned and began running throughout the forest to try and escape the creature; however, he soon heard it following behind him. He grit his teeth before grabbing his zanpakuto and slicing tree branches as he ran causing a rain of leaves and branches to fall on the creature blinding it.
The hollow kept running before stopping and shaking the debris off its face. It looked around for the small shinigami only to growl in anger at the fact that he disappeared from sight. Behind the hollow, in a tree was Shi who was sitting on a branch while trying to breathe as quietly as possible. He looked back and watched as it kept looking around before crawling away. Shi sighed in relief as he looked around. He didn't realize that eight yellow eyes were peeking through the shadows next to him.
He was about to move only to hear the loud scream come from right next to him. He looked over and gasped at the sight as he pulled his zanpakuto up right as the hollow tackled him out of the tree and onto the ground.
"Augh!" Shi spat out blood as its teeth dug into his shoulder.
Shi growled in anger as he stabbed his zanpakuto into its side causing it to unlatch from his shoulder. Shi pulled his zanpakuto back out before kicking the hollow in its face causing it to scream while Shi rolled backwards to gain some distance between them. Shi brought his zanpakuto up in a backhanded grip. He glared at the hollow as it stood back up and stared him down before finally leaping at Shi who blocked its strike with his zanpakuto in a quick flick of his wrist.
Shi then tossed his zanpakuto into the air and grabbed the hollow by its spider-face, used his shinigami strength to smash it facefirst into the ground, leapt above it to catch his zanpakuto, and came down hard on top of it with his zanpakuto, stabbing into its head which made it scream in agony. Shi then roughly pulled his zanpakuto out while looking away and sheathing it. Suddenly, he looked around in shock before looking down and gasping.
"Did I do this? How did I? - !" Shi quickly reacted as it jumped at him in a last ditch effort to kill him. Shi gasped as he placed his hand out and said without thinking, "Shakkaho!" The next thing he knows, he is being sent flying back as a huge orb of flames emerges from his palm and smashes into the hollow, burning it to ash. Shi falls to the ground and breathes heavily while staring at the spot the hollow was just at. Shi took a deep breath before looking at his palm and wondering what just happened before he remembered something.
"That's right...shinigami can use kido, but how did I? *sigh* I don't care right now...I just want to rest," Shi closed his eyes and slowly felt himself fall to sleep.
The Next Day
Shi yawned and stretched his arms as he slowly began to wake up. He looked around and saw that he was still in the forest that he woke up in the day before. By the looks of it, it seems to be early in the morning. He forced himself to his feet and began walking throughout the forest again. He didn't look back as he felt like something would be calling for him to stay.
After about an hour of walking, he found himself exiting the exterior of the forest. "Wow what a great town," Shi mumbled to himself as he saw a town. Suddenly, a headache hit him causing him to wince in pain as he held his head in pain. After a moment, he released his head and sighed to himself. He began walking towards the town again as he felt a large wave of what had to be reiatsu hit him. He wished he could remember how to sense for people's reiatsu, but he sadly couldn't.
Shi began to walk down the street and saw that no one could see him. Which meant that they didn't have a strong enough reiryoku level to see spirits. That was both good and bad. Good because that meant no one would freak out because of an injured teenager with a sword. Bad because he was injured and could really use some help. He continued down the street when he suddenly ran into something followed by a grunt.
He groaned as he looked up and saw a teenager with orange hair, a school uniform, and a scowl plastered on his face while looking at him.
"Hey watch where you're go-wait you're hurt. What happened?" the person asked Shi who was surprised. He closed his eyes to take a break when that familiar wave of reiatsu smacked into him again. He opened his eyes and looked at the teenager in front of him. Was all that reiatsu coming from this teenager?
Suddenly, the teenager grabbed his arm that wasn't connected to the injured shoulder and said again, "What happened?" Shi tried to think of something he could say so he wouldn't reveal too much to the teenager. He couldn't remember a lot, but he knew that shinigamis weren't suppose to go around spilling information to humans who could see them.
"Um...some kind of...animal attacked me. I was able to fight it off, but it bit my shoulder. I'll be okay though...I'm heading to someone who can help."
Shi winced at the lie that slipped out at the end. The teenager just looked at him closely before nodding his head.
"You're a spirit aren't you? No one else is paying attention to a bleeding teenager. You are a teenager right? You're rather short."
The teenager questioned him in a nonchalant voice which pissed Shi off as he screamed that he wasn't a child back at Ichigo who just nodded his head. While Shi couldn't remember how old he was exactly, he had to be a teenager in shinigami terms right?
"I didn't know that spirits could get hurt like that. I hope that whoever you know can help. I'm Kurosaki, Ichigo. If you need anything come find me."
Ichigo introduced himself before reaching his hand out to Shi who looked down at it before smiling and shaking it. Ichigo nodded his head back at Shi before continuing on his way down the street while Shi watched him walk off. After he left, Shi silently vowed to watch the teen while he was in the town to see if anything was up. That teen was exerting too much reiatsu.
He continued down the street when he realized that he had no idea where he was going. He sighed in annoyance as he sat down next to a street pole and hugged his legs to his chest.
"I wish I knew what was going on. Why did I have to get amnesia. This isn't fair..." Shi muttered to himself.
As he sat there, he felt his body get heavier thanks to his blood loss. He groaned in pain as the blood kept seeping out of his wound. Suddenly, he heard a small shuffling sound followed by a quiet "Hello." He looked up and saw a young girl with pony tails, a striped shirt, and a skirt. The only off-putting thing about her was the blood seeping down her face. He got up to his knees recognizing her as a spirit.
"Hi there, sorry. I'm just tired thanks to this," he points at his wound, "I'm Shi. What's your name?"
The girl looked away shyly before saying, "I'm Umi. Are you like me to? Are you a spirit?"
Shi looked around for a second before rubbing the back of his head. "In a way. I'm a shinigami, we are spirits, but we can use special powers to help people...I think. Sorry, I have amnesia, and I can only remember a few things. Anyway, what are you doing here? Did you die around here?" Shi questioned the small girl while putting the pain of his injury to the back of his mind.
"Yeah I died over there," she points at a street lamp with a vase of flowers at its base, "a nice boy named Ichigo brought those for me! I do wish I could pass on though. It's been feeling weird lately. Like something is about to happen."
Shi began to wonder if Ichigo had finished visiting Umi before bumping into him before shrugging his shoulders and looking at her. He thought about the last thing she said and remembered the hollow. Some spirits could tell when hollows were out and about or about to enter their area. If she was sensing a hollow than that meant she was in trouble. He looked at her and then down at his zanpakuto.
"If I told you that I could let you pass on, would you let me?"
The girl gasped in shock before she looked down and began thinking.
"Would I get to see my family again? Would you thank Ichigo for me?" the girl asked Shi who smiled and brought his hand up to pet her head making her blush. He felt his body grow even heavier.
"Of course I will. I just met Ichigo before meeting you. And I know you will. If I have to, I'll help you," Shi promised the small girl who looked up at him with a large smile on her face. He smiled before he began racking his brain to try and remember how to pass spirits on to the Soul Society. He began thinking when the memory of seeing a man perform what he called a 'Konso' on a spirit entered his mind. He brought his zanpakuto up and touched the hilt to her forehead.
Shi smiled as he watched her slowly fade away while mouthing 'thank you' to him. That was the last thing he saw before falling to the ground unconscious while more blood pooled around him.
A few minutes after he collapsed, a man with a striped dark green and white bucket hat stopped next to him while waving a fan in front of his face. "My, my, what do we have here?" he said with a smirk behind the fan.
And end chapter! Few, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! So Shi woke up with amnesia and does still have his battle skills and techniques buried away inside so you can expect to see those slowly come out as the fic goes on. Also he met Ichigo and performed a konso on that girl by the street lamp Ichigo always visited. I always felt like she should move on. Get out of Karakura that way.
So I would love suggestions for girls for Shi's harem because I honestly have no ideas except for like three or four. You can ask for genderbent versions of characters (excluding Urahara and Ichigo as I have already introduced them).
Harem:
Shi: Rukia, Orihime, Ururu (older), (WIP)
Ichigo/Senna
