I do not own Bleach.

There are many reasons why Ichigo Kurosaki has survived his life as a Soul Reaper for as long as he has. Of course there are the obvious ones like that immense spiritual power of his and those weird abilities that keep showing up courtesy of that creepy monochrome bastard lurking somewhere in his subconscious. Then there are others,like his dedication, the loyalty he inspires and that freakish learning curve have all come into play in keeping him breathing through Aizen schemes. None of these however, play the most important part in his continued preservation.

The single most important reason that he has lived through, not just first month's of hisshinigamihood or breaking into soul Society but also Aizen twisted schemes is a simple fact. Ichigo Kurosakidoes not cut corners.

To put it simply Ichigo moves through life on the simplest most straight forward path that exists .perfectly straight line between point A and point B. this mentality has allowed him to plow through some of the most difficult and trying things that could be put in front of a soul. this is all because he never tries to back away ,He never tries to run around , never tries to find a way to climb up , He simply plows straight through it and comes out the other side. There is no dillydally, and not a hint wishful thinking. Our just a few simple concepts. 1 .I am standing here. 2. I want to stand there 3. I am going to go there and no mountains , fortresses, evil monsters, battle hungry demons, arrogant pricks or twisted geniuses are going to stay at in my way. No obstacle can be put on the path to deter him . He simply careens right through without pausing. This simple straight forward path allowed him not only the ability to march through those first months ended March his way through soul Society. But also to charge headfirst through all the twisted intricate knot of Aizen plans. Until all that was left was a fat spider the middle of a ruined web

Because no matter how intricate a pattern is woven. There is always a knife sharpener to slice straight through

I take this opportunity to apologize to anyone who has read this for inadequate writing(it's my first fanfic) and for any spelling mistakes and/or wrong words(I'm using a voice recognition program, and it sometimes doesn't hear me quite right. And also has a tendency to pick up on my younger brothers in the background)
