Chapter 1: Birth of Death
It was nighttime, as a 15 year old boy with bright orange hair and brown eyes stared down a large fish like being with a white bone like mask. This being was a Hollow. Hollow's were a race of creatures which were born from human souls who, for various reasons, did not cross over to the realm known as Soul Society after their death and stayed in the human world for too long. They were corrupt spirits with supernatural powers that devoured the souls of both living and deceased humans. The boy's name was Ichigo Kurosaki, and he was unique in the fact that he could see spirits, like the Hollow before him. This was due to his high spiritual pressure or reiatsu. The Hollow had attacked him because of this, using his younger sister as bait to lure him out.
Fortunately a Shinigami, who was a rather short young woman, appeared and attempted to fight off the Hollow. Shinigami were beings who for all intents and purposes served as Grim Reaper's of sorts, ferrying souls to the afterlife of Soul Society or to the Underworld if they had committed terrible acts in life. Unfortunately the Hollow landed an critical blow, and severely injured the Shinigami. After a weighing the options, the Shinigami decided to transfer he powers to Ichigo in order to kill the Hollow. There was only a 50/50 chance Ichigo would survive, but he was willing to risk it. For the transfer to work, she had to stab him with her sword.
"Give me the sword Shinigami." The orange haired boy said.
"My name is Rukia Kuchiki." The Shinigami said. Ichigo grabbed the blade as he said,
"The name's Ichigo Kurosaki." Rukia then pushed her blade into the boy and a flash of light erupted as the Hollow charged. But as the monster got close, a loud bang was heard and it's arm was shot clean off. The Hollow turned to see Ichigo standing before him, but he was dressed differently. The orange headed teen now wore a black business suit with white rectangles. The rectangles were placed in a manner that was completely symmetrical with at least six small rectangles along the seam where the sleeves attached to the jacket, and four small rectangles ran along the front of his jacket. His undershirt was a formal white dress shirt, and a metallic skull rested under his collar which seemed to act as a tie. In his hands were two revolver pistols, which looked to be 44 magnum's. Ichigo held the pistols toward the Hollow and said,
"Time to give you a few more holes you Hollow scum!" The orange haired teen then began to fire away at the creature like a trigger-happy madman, the bullets a purple energy. Soon the Hollow looked like Swiss cheese, as it fell over and dissolved. Ichigo holstered the guns in two shoulder holsters and turned to Rukia and said,
"I could get used to this!"
FAST FORWARD 2 MONTHS
It had been two months since Ichigo had been given the powers of a Shinigami. He had become a Subsitute Shinigami, and in that time had run into some interesting things. He had met Uryu Ishida, the last of a race known as the Quincy who hates Shinigami, his friends Chad and Orihime had gained spiritual powers of their own. In all that time, Ichigo for the first time in a long while felt happy. Sure he was missing a little school and somewhat alienating the rest of his friends that didn't know about his Shinigami activities, but he had never felt better. The orange haired Reaper almost felt that he was born to do this. However all good things must come to an end. It turned out that when Rukia gave Ichigo her powers, she had broken the law of the Shinigami. Two powerful Shinigami came to take her away. Ichigo put up a good fight to be sure, shooting away with his guns. The Shinigami didn't really expect gunplay, but their surprise faded and Ichigo was defeated as he had his powers taken. Ichigo could only watch shocked from his grounded position, as Rukia Kuchiki, a person who he trusted, protected and cared for, turned her small back on him with out so much as a second thought towards him or his blooded broken form.
And it hurt him, it hurt him deep, she had seen parts of his life no one outside of his family had, and she was leaving him, with two deep holes in-bedded with in his body and soul, and she wasn't even going to say goodbye to him he released as he attempted to rise his drenched body from the cold red road. He didn't want her to leave, not with those people or anyone else for that matter. He just had to reach out and grab the shell that encased her, pull her back to him and away from the gate of golden light that burned his hazel eyes, he almost had her almost, just a little more and she would be herself.I chigo never saw the petite foot come crashing down on his outstretched hand. But he deferentially knew, that she had broken something at that moment. He didn't need to hear the sicking crunch to know this, no he had felt it the pain that had raced up his body, and not just from his now disfigured hand.
"Rukia" Ichigo softly begged at the now somewhat blurry figure of his friend, hoping to get a response. He felt more than saw her reply, and this time nothing could stop the scream of pain as Rukia's shoe, twisted as she did to look down at him. He knew instantly that she was crying, his sister Yuzu cried enough for him to recognise the symptoms even without his eyesight, he could sense them, he didn't know how but he just could. Her voice merely echoed that thought.
"Don't move, don't try to follow me." Her words while harsh, spoke of a deep hidden pain.
"Conserve your energy and try to linger in this world a little longer." She continued, tears falling from her eyes. And with that she turned, carefully removing her foot from his crippled hand as she did so and slowly began her walk towards the door, the door that shone with warmth and a continued light.
"Rukia" Ichigo yet again begged, only for his face to hit the ground bellow, and a further part of himself smash.
"Your one stubborn idiot you know that right?" Ichigo growled into the tarmac as he recognised the voice, it was the red head, Renji Abarai.
"Stop making so much noise and die quietly." The ponytailed man said.
"Like I'll die yet!" Ichigo responded in with a snort.
"Really? Because looking at the roads change of colour you only have half an hour left." The dark haired one said, clearly not caring for the boy's condition.
"You may yet live, so be quite now." Rukia said, trying to comfort the orange haired teen if just a little though she kept her voice cold. Ichigo winced at her cold dead tone, it sounded so much like her brother's.
"Live your life and survive, do not follow me, for if you do...I'll never forgive you." And with that said Rukia left through the blinding portal, with her two comrades, to face her fate in the other-world. The gate slowly shut, taking Rukia to the other side away from him, and with it a little bit of himself. Ichigo then passed out.
The next thing Ichigo knew, a bright light shined down on his face, causing him to groan. He was glad that he was alive, at least he hoped he was anyway, though that light was just annoying. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around, and saw that he was in a blue room with moving clouds on the walls. At first he thought he was outside, but he didn't feel the sun's warmth or the wind blowing. He could move so that meant he wasn't paralyzed. Ichigo slowly got up and looked around and suddenly came face to face with his father.
"DAD! What the hell do you think you're doing? And where the hell are we?" Ichigo yelled at his father. He then noticed that his father didn't try to attack him or make a comeback. Instead, Isshin just looked at his son with a solemn expression.
"I'm truly sorry Ichigo, I wish it had never come to this." Isshin said as he shook his head.
"What are you talking about?" Ichigo asked his father, being completely clueless as to what was going on. Suddenly Isshin became covered in a black mist and transformed into a large black cloaked figure with the same skull emblem Ichigo had for a tie, the only difference was that this skull acted as a mask.
"You see son, I am...Death." The figure said, starting in his father's voice then changing into a more high-pitched voice. Ichigo looked at the Grim Reaper-like creature that his father had transformed into, and slowly went over what it said in his head.
"Y-you're D-Death?" Ichigo stuttered out in shock. The figure nodded, and Ichigo passed out yet again.
