Author's note: first story, not nervous at all .
Disclaimer: i do not own bleach, if I did that would mean this is canon.
I tried to write this fic as if it were a bleach movie - unrelated to the actual bleach plot with some O.C bad guys, before anyone runs away due to this, basically all of them will die. I (will) operate under the ethic of cannon fodder o.c's - Disposable bad guys who are all beaten by the end of the story. Main pairing is IchiRuki, and hinted UlqiHime.
Chapter One: Epilouge
In Karakura town
Karakura Town had not changed. The Winter War had come and gone, yet childeren were still playing, adults were working and students maintained the pretence of interest in their studies.
Kurosaki Ichigo felt out of place.
2 months after Aisen Sosuke's defeat and the world seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief; any arrancar that had remained alive in Las Noches had surrendered and were roaming hueco mundo freely thanks to a peace deal brokered by a rather surprised-to-be-alive Stark alongeside an annoyed-to-have-been-beaten Lillinette, the Gotei 13 had settled into lasily trying to repair Seireitei faster than 11th squad were wrecking the place (to varying success: there were rumors of a repair sabotage squad headed by Yachiru), even standard hollow appearances in the human world had fallen sharply -supposedly due to the hollows realising that doing so may give them a mild case of obliteration- and the residents of Karakura Town simply continued their daily routine.
I suppose life goes on. He couldn't shake the feeling of unrest that had been growing in him after the 3rd week of peace - things were just too quiet. He was in his shinigami form and from his vantage point atop a telephone pole, he frowned at the town stretching away below him as he continued his silent musing. I guess it's gonna take a while to get used to the mundane again. He decided that in his defence - fighting hollows and master hypnotist demigods could get pretty surreal.
Deciding to move, Ichigo resolved to return to his body before Kon trie-
"ICHIGO!" Yelled the black cannonball that smashed him in the head and sent him careening toward the ground.
"What!- Where!- Who!" were all Ichigo could splutter before he struck land. He was still reeling when the cannonball began firing questions at him
"And where have you been eh! do you realise what time it is? Why the hell did you leave Kon in charge of your body AT SCHOOL! do you not remember what happened last time?" Ichigo gathered what remained of his wits and examined the black clad figure standing over him.
"Oh..., hi Rukia" Indeed, his assailant turned out to be the dimunitive shinigami, wearing a petulant look on her face. a vein in her forehead popped into veiw whilst she proceded to drive her foot into his face. "Don't you 'hi Rukia' me!, What have you been doing for the past 3 hours" She then took a step back, expecting a vocal counter-attack, but Ichigo remained on his back, looking up at the sky.
"Just... watching Karakura..."
Rukia's expression softened at his subdued tone.
"... Ichigo" Rukia's voice expressed concern and Ichigo moved his gaze to her. In the past months they had gotten closer, even having 2 'dates' not that either would call them that, they were adamant that their status was still 'just good friends'.
Ichigo's eyes flicked to Rukia's face. He frowned and picked himself off of the ground, he didn't like worrying her.
"Rukia. I'm alright, just thinking how bored I am without any hollows to purify, honestly, I'm okay"
Rukia stood still, searching his face. After a few minutes she seemed satisfied with what she saw there and let out a sigh. Ichigo allowed a sly smile manifest itself as he gave Rukia a sidelong look.
"Then again you are cute when you're worried" Slam!
Rukia kicked him in his still smiling face, her cheeks heating.
"D..Don't think this changes anything Kurosaki, I'm s..still annoyed"
Ichigo's grin deepened "Why do I not believe you?" Rukia allowed herself to smile too. He'll be okay...
"Anyway Rukia, what did Kon do?"
Kurosaki Household
"YOU DID WHAT!"
Apparently, in the three hours that Kon had been left to his own devices he had borderline sexually harrassed just about every girl in ichigo's High School. Ichigo was slight irritated.
"I'M SORRY!" screamed the guilty lion as he dodged a flung chair.
"NOT YET YOU AREN'T YOU LITTLE PIECE OF CLOTH!"
"NEE-SAN SAVE MEEEEEEEE-" Kon had hurled himself to supposed safety but was greeted only with a kick to the face.
"Kon this is your fault entirely, any punishment given is what you deserve!" Rukia had kept her composure to a certain extent. Now she gave Kon a cruel smile.
"What should we do with him Ichigo?" Ichigo developed a similar evil grin
"We could lock him in a box with some moths for a few days" Ichigo offered.
"Or take all his stuffing out" Rukia quipped. the image of a withered Kon was amusing but-
Suddenly Rukia and Ichigo shared a look, and all of a sudden they had identical expressions of pure sadism...
Kon was sweating bullets. "Uh.. umm.. g..guys? your scaring me. What a..are you gonna do!"
The two turned their gaze on to the stuffed toy and spoke in perfect sync...
"We could call Ishida over to give you a make over! "
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
Somewhere In Hueco Mundo
The cavern was made of grey stone, naturally formed, darkness permeated everything, the only light came from a small honeycomb of tiny holes in the roof of the large cavern. This barely allowed one to percieve the glassy surface of a still pool that dominated the ground of the silent chamber. However the quiet air was disturbed by a commotion at the wall furthest from the pool, The dark rock began to shift and contract, revealing a corridor that led upwards to the sands of Las Noches. From this new entrance 5 figures emerged. The party was in two distinct groups, the first: that had three members, was moving with confidence and had an air of reverance about them ; the group of two trailed slightly behind the others and moved catiously, and carried with them a sense of uncertainty.
The entire party stopped a few feet from the underground pool. The three from the first group turned to the other two expectantly. Bonelike protusions on the heads of the group of three Identified them as Arrancarr, the tallest of them spoke in an impassive voice.
"Come on then... you are the so-called experts here"
The two he had spoken too wore the black robes of shinigami. The first was a young man who had shoulder length shaggy brown hair and hazel eyes, he wore a pale white belt that had heavy leather books chained to it and a bandolier strapped across his chest that held scrolls.
The second shinigami was a tall man who had long blond hair, a tightly cropped beard of the same hue that framed his mouth, and piercing ice blue eyes, he wore a sleevless jacket that stretched to his knees, which was a deep blue with a white trim and had matching armguards and greaves that followed the same colorscheme.
The blond shinigami looked to his partner. "This is Sima's show, he's the expert."
The one identified as 'Sima' gave a small bow. "Thank you Xiahou-san." His eyes gained an excited glint as he turned to the arrancar. "yes. magical seals are my speciality. lets see what we have here."
Sima began looking around the cavern.
"Very strange, cavern lined with binding magics, imbued into the stone itself, dormant for now, designed to react to... something.. however they are only secondary defences, looks like they strengthen existing seals in times of strain... clever..." He was speaking to himself more than anything, but was drawing impressed looks from the others.
"Center of cavern is where the strongest kido is focused... a prison or casket beneath the water?... No, the kido is too widely spread... too dense for solid object...the seals are too stable too be woven into the air... leaving only... THE POOL ITSELF! THE VERY WATER IS A PRISON!"
"Correct"
The disembodied voice startled the shinigami - Xiahou moved to draw his zanpakuto whereas Sima simply peered into the water. A smile spread across Sima's face.
"...And you must be our prisoner"
Beneath the water two smiling eyes gazed back up at him.
"Indeed"
SHINIGAMI CUP - GOLDEN!
Kurosaki household
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
Ichigo and Rukia could only stare in amazement, they had both sweatdropped at the sight of Kon.
"-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
"...I..Ishida has really outdone himself this time, huh Rukia?"
"-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
"...Goth loli...Impressive..." - Rukia
"-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
They had made good on their threat and, testament to Ishida's skill, it had taken him only one minute to deck Kon out in a sweeping dress of black, white and red. the number of frills was impressive...
"-OOOOOO!.."
There were a few seconds of silence.
"wow, he even sewed on long eyelashes"
"NOOOOOOOO!"
First chapter up, it was meant to be longer and conclude the bad guys' gathering but I thought it was beginning to drag on a bit.
( I don't think my attempts at humor are very good, i'm more comfortable with plot and action)
please review - i can use the criticism/advice.
