Dear readers, this is my first fanfiction so please go easy on me.
An Introduction
Disclaimer : I don't own anything
In the small town of Karakura things were going on as they usually did with people going around doing their own thing and minding their own business. Yet up in the sky there was a monster that was enormous in size and had a mask shaped like a bull. The monster was extremely ugly looking as it roared loudly. The monster, called a hollow, had an enemy that it was facing.
The hollow then opened its mouth wide and a red ball, called a Cero, formed and the hollow shot it at his opponent. The opponent simply lifted his left hand and crushed it with his hand. Sighing the opponent said, "Let's get this over with" the voice was very masculine identifying the person as a male.
The man was wearing a black shihaksou pants and sandals with white tabi as well. The man was very tall in stature, easily a towering 6'1 maybe 6'2. The most distinguishing features on him was his tan skin that glistened in the sunlight, a long sword was also strapped securely to his back and to finish it he had long, shaggy, orange hair that went down a little past his shoulders and the front was slightly obscuring his piercing brown eyes. This man was called Ichigo Kurosaki.
He was a Substitute Shinigami that defended Karakura from all the Hollows that had invaded. He had been doing this for about a year now, but had to stop for a while after he lost his powers. It had started during the Winter War when Ichigo had returned from Hueco Mundo when he rescued his friend, Orihime Inoue.
He had fought an evil Shinigami named Sosuke Aizen to stop him from destroying his home to create something known as the King's Key, which he would use to assassinate the Kind of Soul Society to become the new King.
With the help of his father, Isshin Kurosaki, Ichigo had been able to train in the Dangai world to perfect a new move from his Zanpakuto. He had fought his Zanpakuto spirit and Hollow while they were fused for three months to get the technique, but in the end he had succeeded.
Then Ichigo had returned to Karakura with his new look and power and then he fought Aizen in a furious battle on the outskirts of Karakura. Ichigo used the new move he learned from his Final Getsuga Tenshou.
In this form Ichigo would become Getsuga itself, his hair grew down to his waist and turned blacker than the dark sky itself and grey bandages would wrap around the rest of his boy and his eyes would turn a stormy grey color. Ichigo used his Mugetsu and enveloped Aizen in the attack; it was all over in an instant. With that it was over and Ichigo now experienced the one weakness of the Final Getsuga loss of all of his Shinigami powers.
Ichigo had then spent the next two months powerless and unable to help the others while they went off and took care of the hollows. That was when Ichigo sought help from Urahara in secret to find a way to get his powers back. Urahara did have a way and in order to do that Ichigo would simply have to go back into his spiritual world and locate his Zanpakuto.
Simple, no
Well it wasn't simple because he only had five minutes to find his Zanpakuto, but Ichigo was stubborn and advent about it so Urahara stabbed his Zanpakuto through Ichigo and Ichigo appeared in his spiritual world. He ran around every single area he could find and before he knew it four and a have minutes had passed.
Here's where the real problem is, if he didn't accomplish this in the required time limit of five minutes then he would never be able to do it again and all of his spiritual pressure would be lost for eternity, even if he died, his spiritual pressure would never return.
Right as the clock struck five minutes he had found Zangetsu standing on the flagpole and his hollow standing next to him. Both of them had smirks on their faces as Ichigo smirked back while panting slightly.
Once he found them and returned to his physical body he underwent some changes. His body grew a few more inches and his hair grew out back to its length when he faced Aizen. Ichigo thanked Urahara for the help. Urahara said it was no problem and to thank him Ichigo only had to do one thing.
He had to keep his hair long.
Ichigo sweat dropped and asked why and Kisuke responded with a grin, "Because you look much more cooler and badass with it long." Ichigo sweat dropped again and left the training room thinking Kisuke was nuts, but once he looked in a mirror and checked it out he decided that Kisuke was right, he did look cooler, but he would never say that out loud or say it to Kisuke… ever.
Anyway during the next three months he had kept training with Urahara, Zangetsu and his hollow, since they had come to terms over time to except each other, and actually managed to seal Zangetsu back into his original from. This time the sword was much smaller than when he first got it. It was still the size of a daito, but it was a few inches shorter than his Bankai form.
He was even can perform Kido easily and seal some of his power with suggestion by Urahara because Ichigo Reiatsu has increased by tenfold (minimum) and his physical strength alone was enough to shatter a Everest mountain in half with simple swing of his sword at half strength. Those two aspects of power increase, however, led Kurosaki to forbid himself from using Bankai with full power, lest the entire town disintegrate under his power. He doesn't need to use his Bankai when his shikai alone was enough to choke a captain-class being of any kind.
Now that leads us to where we are now as Ichigo was staring down at the hollow with an extremely bored look on his face. "This is getting dull, time to end this" Ichigo said lazily wiping some hair from his eyes.
The hollow did not like his lazy attitude and charged at Ichigo with a loud roar. When it got close to Ichigo all he did was draw his Zanpakuto as the hollow charged past him. Then the hollow split cleanly in half and dissipated.
"How boring" Ichigo said swiping his blade down to get rid of the blood and then sheathed it on his back and walked away. Despite Ichigo's lazy attitude right now he was not arrogant. He just knew that this hollow was extremely weak, but if he sensed a hollow with a Menos level or higher he immediately took it serious.
Next morning
Ichigo was out early. Yuzu noticed that because she was always up early to prepare everyone's breakfast. "Where's he going?" Karin asked groggily as she descended the stairs.
"Don't know," Yuzu said as she scooped up a bowl of steamed rice. "But he didn't eat breakfast!"
Karin shrugged as she sat down on the table. Isshin was still sleeping, Karin noticed. Most likely because Ichi-nii beat the crap out of him yesterday.
"I should wake him up..." Then she went up to the second floor with a hammer in her hand.
Ichigo stood in front of Urahara's shop with a bag slung over his shoulder. He had graduated only a month ago, and as such, he had time. Especially in this winter when no one was playing in the beach or hiking up a slippery mountain.
"Open up already!" he shouted angrily. But this was Ichigo. He always had something to do. "I need to visit those bikers to teach them a lesson!"
"Yare yare, Kurosaki-san. You're so loud..." Urahara said as he opened the door. "...And you're early too."
"Should I come later then?"
"No, no. It's perfectly fine. But we gotta travel to the south pole, you see... Early is just fine."
"Wait, what?"
"We got to go to the Pacific. Middle of the Pacific to be exact. It's only a few clicks west of Hawaii too."
"Wait, wait, wait! Who said anything about traveling!"
"I'll be your sparring partner."
There was a pregnant silence between the two. They stared at each other without words. Urahara knew that it was a good offer, for Ichigo had been asking for it, but Urahara had been refusing. There was not specific reason behind it, other than the fact that his teacher refused to let him spar with him. That had been frustrating for Ichigo, because he wanted to test his power gauge against his teacher. His father provided an excellent measuring stick, but at the same time, the said man was not a good teacher who can point things how to Ichigo.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Few months later in the South Pole..
Kurosaki Ichigo, the hero of Winter War, gulped as he watched the blue and black wormhole in front of him. It looked very ominous by itself, but the organic-like equipment that Urahara bought along made it look more like the gate to hell. "Come on, Kurosaki-san. The gate is ready!"
Ichigo turned around and glared at Urahara.
"You expect me to go through that?" The portal itself looked fine, but inside, there were lightnings and fizzes that made one want to stay away from it, as if it was a time bomb.
"It's perfectly safe, for the moment," Urahara said.
"What do you mean for the moment...?"
Ichigo turned back again, trying to figure out exactly how safe this thing was. Then suddenly as another ligthning struck the event horizon of the wormhole, he felt very unsure. Of course he had sparred with Urahra. It turned out exactly the way he expected, but still.
"I did my part of the deal. Your turn!" Urahra cheered from behind his gigantic equipment. "Besides, all you have to do is just go through, see what's on the other side, and come back."
"What if the portal isn't there? I will stuck in that thing forever"
"I'm sure you'll find a way," Urahara said as he held up a boxing glove.
"What's that for?"
"Pushing you in, of course."
Ichigo glared at him. "You're not-"
Toing!
The boxing glove was actually a contraption, you see. It has a spring that goes forth about fourty meters.
And Ichigo got hit. He stumbled backward and the wormhole sucked him in.
"FUCK YOU KISUKE!" He screamed as the wormhole sucked him in from his world, and pushed him into the next.
"Good luck!" But just as Urahara said so, the machinery around him died down with a high to low whirled around. "W-What-?"Then the gate disappeared with a zap and he murmured one word.
"Shit"
Somewhere in Earthland near Onibus town
It was a peaceful day in the forest near Onibus town until it was ruined by a noisy roar inside the forest. It was the black dragon of apocalypse Acnowlogia chasing a girl with a long sword on her left hand. The girl meet the dragon after she was doing her job.
She wears an elaborate blazer with gold lining, and a large collar, which is open to reveal a collared shirt and red tie underneath. The cuffs of this jacket are tucked into a pair of white wrist-high gloves. On her legs, she wears a pair of black tights, which are tucked into a pair of knee-high boots and sit under a short white frilled skirt. On her head, she ties a white ribbon, with the ends of the bow pointing straight up
The dragon swing it tail and manage to hit the girl. The girl flew and hit the cliff wall. The girl spurted so many bloods and her vision became fade. 'I am going to die' Thought the girl.
As the dragon come nearer they saw a bright blue light drop from the sky. When the light hit the ground it cause an earthquake and make the dragon loss its balance. The girl took this chance to slip away and the dragon started chasing her again.
With Ichigo
Ichigo pushed himself from the ground and get on his feet. he Observed the surrounding."Where the fuck am I?" Then he remembered about the entire portal deal and looked around portal was in sight. There was nothing remotely similar to felt a vein pop up on hi forehead. "Damn you, Kisuke! I'll kill you if I can get back"
Then a noisy roar caught his attention. Ichigo flew higher and saw a black dragon chasing a wounded girl. He sensed their power, the girl was around lieutenant level and the dragon was about captain level.
The dragon attacked the girl with its claw and manage to cut deep her side. She crawled weakly and the dragon attacked with it claw again to finish her off. She closed her eyes and braced herself for a painful death.
"Shit"
With two quick succession of shunpo's, the girl found herself in Ichigo arms, he holding her up in bridal-style and got her away from the dragon.
"Are you okay?" Ichigo asked as he slowly drop her. She winced in pain."I take it as no"
"Look out" She warned him and Ichigo turn around and saw the dragon ready to attack again with its claw. Ichigo simply lift his left hand and catch its claw. The girl and the dragon were wide eyed when he do that. "Oi, why did you attack this girl?" Ichigo asked the dragon and it attack him again with its other claw , he catch it again.
Ichigo stare it with scowl. "One." He began. The dragon and the girl was confused, though. One? What was that supposed to mean? "If you mess with strangers, be prepared to pay."
Ichigo grabbed the hand by wrapping his arms tightly around it. And with a heave, Ichigo pulled the dragon and threw it against the cliff. The dragon roared as pain spiked throughout its body.
'How strong is this guy?' the girl thought in awe as she stared him thrown the dragon as if it weights nothing to him.
"Two. Ethics: Do treat strangers with kindness. Or else, it's bad karma." With that Ichigo tightened the already tight hold on the dragon and slammed it once more into the cliff. Ichigo released his grip on the tail and shunpo'ed right up to its face. The awe-inspiring speed in which Ichigo moved at shocked the dazed dragon and the girl.
It attempted to attack with Breath, but Ichigo grabbed the lower jaw and sent it hurling up. The jaw crashed with the upper jaw, and the breath attack that dragon tried to blast me with exploded within its own mouth.
"Three. Aren't you going to say sorry to me and her?" He brought up his left leg and sent a roundhouse kick, it flew about fifty meter before slip away from me. Ichigo turned to the girl and she stare him with wide eyes.
"You're safe now" Ichigo said as he crouched down her level and smiled. Ichigo saw her wound and I can tell she's losing too much blood."Don't worry I will get you to hospital. Where is the nearby town?"
"It's about two miles from here" She answered. He picked her up on his back."Thanks for saving me…."
"Oh, I never told you my name. My name is Ichigo. Kurosaki Ichigo"
"I'm Kagura Mikazuchi"
