Tsuki: Hello hello, welcome to my second Story, Not a short will be long (by the chapter summaries its longer than the first by at least 5) Again it's a AizenxIchigo I do like this pair, and had created this plot in the middle of January and just got around writing it.
Now you're probably wondering why start a new story when you could of used this time to get Chapter 5 Of Maintain Consciousness up. Well I Like variety and my scatterbrained Creativity, and imagination can't focus on one thing, Not to mention I have a bad cold lasting for More, repeat MORE than a week im still having side effects now at least another week. It was a really bad cough, even with medicine and Cough drops in my mouth constantly it didn't sooth it. I had almost no sleep during and mother made me clean the whole fricking house and stuff, but I'm rested now and will be back delivering good chapters.
Kyuu: Yes, I was also directly affected as well….Disclaimer: Tsuki doesn't own Bleach or its characters (Tite Kubo does). I do own this story thought.
Warning: Boyxboy relationship and adult content in later chapters, maybe some language. And my bad grammar…I'm not perfect but as long as you are able to read and understand it, it should be fine.
Chapter 1: From Yesterday by 30 seconds from Mars.
Karakura town.
A large city, despite its name, it is home to a population of over 100,000 people residing there. To the average person, the day and nights are peaceful and calm, but to a few that can see spirits, ghosts of the dead. Both human and monster forms plague them, but this night is very peaceful, which is strange to those, an uncertainty wavered through them.
The view of the sunset reflected of the waters of a tranquil river was breathtaking, the rays of light refracting with sparkles that dance across its surface. The river Split the city and ran long and wide, it was a popular relaxation spot, but even this beautiful scene had its share of dark moments. Tragic deaths were uncommon but it did happen. As majestic as it was the orange-haired youth walking along the road beside it, had seen it many, many times as he walked home each night, immune to its allure. Like usually he was walking home, this time from his friend's Chad's house where he hung out today.
Ichigo was getting a strange, bad feeling all day today during school, and he was unable to shake it off or find the cause of it. He went through the day as normal, a little more agitated and his friends could sense it as well but no one had an answer, was Aizen plotting something against them?
The teen sighed as he stopped in a particular spot, he normally did this walking home, alone. A tragedy had happened here, the most beloved person in his family was killed here, right in front of him. She was beautiful, kind, and full of unwavering love for those close to her. Even just a tiny bit. But that happiness was cut down, His mother had been killed by a Hollow, it was his entire fault, even now he still blamed himself, and he often felt like it was him that should have died instead of her. "Mother." He whispered to the wind as he held back his tears.
He had often come here after her death, to remember her, to apologize. If only he had listened, then she still would have been here, and his family wouldn't suffer. His dear sister Yuzu that took up the housework, she acted so much like her. Her twin Karin, who stopped crying and became tough, for no one would worry about her. His father, as crazy as he was, is and ever will be. Everyone hid their feelings on the matter, but they have learned to cope and accept they won't be cracked open soon. Yuzu still cries when they visit, and after everyone is gone he too breaks his defenses to mourn.
He sighed as he looked to the sky, it was getting darker, his dad would probably attack him for being late, stupid seven o'clock curfew, he was 15 for crying out loud he could handle being out later than that, it was absolutely ridiculous. Ichigo continued to walk along, his scowl reappearing on his face like normal as he suppressed the emotions that had gotten loose. Until he froze, a strong reiatsu swept through the area, it was familiar but couldn't put his finger on it. It wasn't a hollow since his badge didn't go off, damn thing the cause of his sleepless nights, but it did held killer intent as its pressure tried to crush him.
"Substitute Shingami: Kurosaki, Ichigo." said a cold, female voice behind the orange haired youth. Ichigo spun around to observe his company, finding himself face to face with the captain of the Second Division and leader of the Onmitsukidō, herself.
"Soi Fon, what are you doing here?" he asked, the uncomfortable feeling nagging at him, why would the Soul Society want him, he's been 'good' and staying out of trouble like they so nicely 'asked' him to. Not to mention why send a Captain? What was happening and the question was, why him?
"That's Captain Soi Fon to you, Kurosaki." she said icily, always so proud of their rank as he was constantly reminded. She was stone walled, no emotions shown. It was only serving to fueling the fire of his uneasiness. "And as to why I am here…" She said as she gave a signal, a few Stealth members blurred into existence from there hiding spots. Before Ichigo could react, he grunted in pain, He could see two bodies in front of him. His head moved down as he saw past the black garments to the sharp blades embedded into his stomach. It took him a moment to realize that they had stabbed his real body.
"Kurosaki, Ichigo, By order of Head Captain Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto you are hereby revoked of your status of a Substitute shingami. You have been found guilty of acquiring Illegal hollow powers. Your status as a Human/hollow/shingami Hybrid is deemed dangerous by the Soul Society, and has been ordered to be executed on sight. Significant evidence was presented enough to refuse trial." recited Soi Fon robotically.
Ichigo's eyes were wide with shock at the sudden attack and Orders of execution. Realization sunk in as he adopted a look of betrayal which swiftly turned to anger as the blades were withdrawn from his abdomen. He grabbed the badge as he pressed it against him swiftly, forcing his soul out from his body his hand already reaching back for the comfortable weight of his large zanpaku-to. Than bandages around it fell off as soon as Ichigo touched the handle. Drawing it from his back immediately slashing at the assailants, who wisely backed away, the rest present also drew there blades except for the Captain.
"What do you mean executed? I thought I was supposed to be somewhat of a hero. What kind of thank you is this?" he shouted angrily, bringing Zangetsu up defensively. The swords had sliced straight through to his soul and he was stabbed in this form as well. He was bleeding heavily from his gut. Damn Cheap shots.
"If we had learned of your illegal existence from the beginning, we would have never let a creature like you live." snarled Soi Fon, signaling her troops. The two rushed forward again, there swords clashing against Zangetsu, trying to overpower the weakened substitute. "You have been caught in a hollow form along with the other filthy Hybrids."
Ichigo blocked and pushed back, growling at the captain as he and the other Visoreds were talked of like trash. "We're not just some worthless animals, we're people too!" He shouted back vehemently, getting a surge of energy he pushed the two back but another two flashed by, swords cutting deep into his exposed sides. Another cheap shot.
Ichigo grunted in pain as he fell to one knee, relying on his sword to steady himself, glaring daggers at the woman and her lackey's before him. He had to use Zangetsu to pull himself feeling himself weakening from the loss of blood and fast. He concentrated as his reiatsu grew. "Getsuga Tensho!" he cried out swinging his blade, sending a wave of his compressed reiatsu towards them. The two were unable to escape as they caught part of the attack, Soi Fon and the other 4 were able to move out of the way with Shunpo. Ichigo could barely turn to counter the blades of another two.
Ichigo gasped in surprise as Soi Fon appeared between them, Suzumebachi released and buried in his arm. He cried out in pain as several stab wounds with the black butterfly mark grew out form the wounds. Ichigo backed away immediately "Damn it!" he cursed, as he could tell he was losing. Soi Fon Smirked as she motioned for the other two again. Ichigo watched as they going for his vulnerable body. Using Shunpo he was bare made it in time to block the swords. "What the hell is wrong with you!" he demanded as he stood over his body.
"I told you already, we have orders to execute, all means in order to kill you and wipe your existence out for good." replied Soi Fon, giving more commands. Splitting up into 2 groups again, two members came forth and began to exchange blows as the others watched, there was just too many, why wasn't anyone coming? Surely the others must of felt his and hers Reiatsu clash together? "Getsuga Tensho!" he cried out hitting them nearly point blank. The 2nd group waited till he was distracted with those two before going in, striking at his Hakusui and Saketsu. Ichigo fell to his knees, just too critically injured. Soi Fon began to walk over to him as Ichigo felt his Spiritual energy begin to fade due to exhaustion…or was he losing his powers….again.
Time seemed to slow to a standstill as a familiar but comfortable Reiatsu began to drift over him, covering him. Ichigo could barely turn his head as someone flashed over beside him. "I have seen and heard everything….You have nothing to worry about, for now. Your safe." said a gentle voice picking him up as 'ghost' of his image left as it took his place. No one else noticed anything. The man sat the half conscious Ichigo down nearby, able to watch the 'execution' and respond to it. The man ripped the shredded top off to assess the damage.
Clank!
A white mask fell to the ground, two holes was its only flaws. The man was amused. "Interesting it seemed your hollow mask protected your Soul chain and Soul Sleep." Said the man gently as the other wasn't going to lose his powers, but they were damaged and will take time to heal properly. He healed the major slashes a little making them not lethal and bandaged to prevent bleeding. He picked the boy up as he waited and watched as Soi Fon stood over the fake Ichigo, who looked like he was struggling. The last two walking over sinking there blades into him most likely hitting a vital organ as his body was forced to die. Ichigo would be unable to return to it now.
"It's over." said the captain coldly leaning down, pushing Suzumebachi's point into one of her butterfly marks injecting the fake soul with her venom, They began to clean up and leave, he was about to die soon anyway, no one survived Soi Fon's zanpaku-to. The fake cried out as it began to disappear into spirit particles, leaving no trace but a bloody teenage body.
"Mission complete. We must leave, his allies are coming." said Soi Fon summoning a Senkaimon as hell butterflies took them back to the Soul Society.
"I am sorry but you will have to remain as 'dead' for a little while. Just temporary." Said the man balancing Ichigo in one arm as the other hand grabbed the Elegant Zangetsu. A ripping noise was sounded and a large black tear in the sky began to appear. The man in white walked inside taking Ichigo with him before it mended itself.
Several minutes pasted as a group of 4 humans and 4 stuffed animals came rushing to Ichigo's distressed Reiatsu before it completely disappeared, ahead they could see someone on the ground not moving. "Ichigo!" cried Orihime running faster ass he could see blood, placing her hands on her hairclips. "Soten Kisshun!" She summoned Ayame and Shun'ō to form the familiar orange half oval around the body and tried to heal it. But it was void of its soul or any life. The others walked up beside her, Ririn also cried out his name as the rest looked on in horror, seeing their friends' body in such a shape, and the ever present flood of Reiatsu from the orange haired shingami missing almost seemed like he was dead. Where was Ichigo, they could see the deep gash of a Getsuga Tensho, signs of fighting but where was Ichigo?
Two people flashed over from using Shunpo, both froze on the spot at the sight. "No….We we're too late…" said Yorurichi as she grew angry, shaking from it. They both knew what happened here, her companion, Urahara stared at the lifeless body, his eyes wide in shock. Uryu was the first to snap out of the trance as he whirled on the two ex-captains. "Too late for what, exactly? Explain to us!" he demanded, his icy fury rivaling Hitsugaya's.
"It's my fault…..it's all my fault." whispered Urahara as he lowered his head, the shadow from his hat hiding his eyes from view like normal. He was going to have to face angry friends, family, his Father and the Visoreds with the Strawberries death. Either Isshin or the Visoreds were going to kill him.
"Stop blaming yourself, you did all that you could." said Yorurichi, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder, before turning to the Quincy. "Soul Society…..has issued his execution….We just learned ourselves."
"N-No, he can't be dead... he just can't!" said Orihime as tears began to fall from her eyes, in grief that her crush may be dead. "Why would they do such a horrible thing, after all he has done for them?!"
"It's because of what I made him. After losing the powers he gained from Rukia, when Byakuya severed his Hakusui and Saketsu which gives us soul reapers our power without it we're normal souls. I used a method that not only gave him his own shingami powers, but also hollow Powers." explained Urahara somberly.
"Hollow…..powers? We never seen him use any before." said Chad in disbelief.
"I used a forced encroachment of his Soul chain as a plus, he'd either became a Shingami or a Hollow. He started his hollowfication but he gained his powers at the last second. Although he did come out with a completed hollow mask, but he broke it"
"I've seen it before, I was treating his wounds after his fight with Zaraki, it was used as a shield, protecting him." said Yorurichi "Byakuya also told me a hollow like presence surfaced during their fight. It left after he pulled the mask off. They killed him for being a Visored."
"What is a Visored?" Asked Kurōdo, which was the question on everyone's minds.
"A Visor-"
"A Visored is a Shingami who has gained the powers of a hollow, becoming half Shingami, Half hollow hybrid." Said a different voice as a familiar blonde haired male walked out from the shadows, Flanked by sever other people. "He is one of us."
End, Cliff hanger slightly, I wanted a Good AizenXichigo pairing I like both kinds (obviously)
I also have planned a few more pairings, I have a IchigoxIzuru (IzuruxIchigo Haven decided on the Semexuke situation yet), A Shirosaki/HichigoxIchigo, as a one, two or three shots, short ones.
I also have a secret project I plan on working on sparingly which im planning on keeping secret till more chapters are released. I also plan on a few more shorts, like a UraharaxIchigo, zangetsuxIchigo, And then there two weird pairings but I find interesting and hot KariyaxIchigo, and MuramasaxIchigo. But they all need some development time.
