Chapter 1: Hollow Soul
(Story start)
Along a mountain range of Mt. Hakobe walked a tall figure wearing a large billowing black travelers cloak covering his figure with the hood up covering his head,[1] carrying a large travelers bag over his shoulders. He walked as if searching for something along the mountain range coming up with no results, until a large deafening roar echoed through the mountain pass before a dark purple magical explosion appeared just over the next ridge blowing a large gust of wind through the canyon knocking the hood down to expose long spiky orange hair, with a stern face, and a bored scowl adorning it this is Ichigo Kurosaki. [2]
As the wind subsided he brought his right arm up to his face the sleeve pushed up on his arm to expose a small black mark that looked like a skull [3] on the underside of his wrist. Brushing his shaggy hair back down from the wind, before putting the hood back up he looks over to the ridge where the smoke was now appearing deciding on rushing over there. He hops down the embankment getting a running start before a red outlined black seal appeared under his feet projecting him off the ground into the air landing on the opposite ridge.
When he looks down in the deeper chasm he see exactly what he was looking for and he definitely was not disappointed as the rumors he had heard of a large beast rampaging though these mountain destroying villages as it passed was not exaggerated. As down below him a large burning town was a giant red furred beast, with green skin, with long white hair cascading down it back, along with glowing eyes to settle the monstrous image as it was walking away from the town seeing the beast Ichigo takes out the mission request looking at the description of the beast he notes there is slight difference in the appearance then described in the mission request.
"Huh the request doesn't say anything about white hair…" his vocal thoughts were interrupted as a large bird flew through the smoke, over the beast shoulders, and into the clearing before landing onto to a random pile of rubble before it transformed into a petite white haired girl in a pink dress that started digging into the rubble frantically as the Beast King rampaged towards her.
Ichigo watched her as she dug through the rubble till she came across a large rock she couldn't move on her own till it exploded upwards throwing the girl back as the dust settled it showed another white haired girl in a leather outfit with a transformed arm. With the explosion flaring up it catches the attention of the Beast King as it gave a challenging roar as it paced towards them.
(Down below)
The smaller girl raced back to the older looking one helping her out of the rubble "Lisanna you need to get out of here" said the older girl as she struggled to stand up.
"No! I can talk him out of it I know I can Mira-nee I just got get you out of here first" she said the now identified Lisanna as she dragged her older sister out of harm's way before she spoke. "Elf-niichan what's wrong with you?" she asked innocently from her crouching position before she walked back in front of the Beast King she spread her arms out in a non-threatening manner that's when she yelled out "Elf-niichan why are you upset with us" she asked in the same tone as the monster stopped just short of stepping onto her. Thinking she is getting through to him she put her arms down "See it's me your little sister Lisanna lets just go back home and forget all about this" she said to the Beast that just remained standing in front of her listening.
(On the cliffs)
"So it would seem I'm too late someone already attempted to take it over. Ooh well it doesn't fit anyway" said Ichigo as he adjusts his cloak and turned around and then began walking away. "Beside's she seemed to snapped him out of it he's not rampaging anymore" but he spoke too soon as there was another deafening roar Ichigo turning around just in time to see the Beast king raise its arm before swiping it downward at the smiling girl knocking her to the side as the older girl screamed from the side "LISANNE" she yelled loud enough for Ichigo to hear.
Watching the small form sail through the air going on instinct, he threw his bag to the ground, before one of his signature seal's appeared under his feet. As he is rocketed towards the falling body seeing he was not going to make it with a wave of his hand another seal appeared, as if like landing pad he landed on it before taking off again, as if it was a solid surface he produced a loud booming sound as he breaks through the sound barrier he zooms catching the limp body pulling her close to his own seconds before crashing into the ground leaving behind a crater trail.
When Ichigo's ears adjusted back to normal from breaking the sound barrier he hears a low wheezing coming from the girl in his arms looking down. He sees the rosy cheeks that reminded him so much of his two younger sisters when they were young but the happy memory changed quickly as he watched the rosiness slowly fading as the blood is receding from the skin it turning a sickly pale. Seeing the symptoms of shock brought the realization to Ichigo of something he knew all too well he got up off the ground as carefully as he could manage without hurting her more she started to squirm weakly but Ichigo just tightened his grip on her.
"It's ok I'm taking you back to your sibling" said Ichigo the frail form in his arms stopped her squirming as he began running towards the scene of the attack with the small girl in his arms. He came across a ridge to see the deep claw marks in the ground and the leather wearing teen struggling to stand as the Beast king rampaging destroying the canyon sending debris falling everywhere.
Ichigo walked down the embankment towards the leather wearing teen with the small girl in his arms before placing her on the ground gently beside the struggling teen who moved as quickly as she could to be by her younger sister's side.
Mira went by her taking her hand in her own as she started to cry "This is strange I can't move my body Mira-nee" Lisanna struggled to say.
"It's going to be okay just save your strength" said Mira reassuringly but Ichigo watched from over her shoulder he already knew the damage was too much for the little girls small body to handle but he let the girl hold onto as much hope as she could.
"Where are you?" she asked with glossed over eye's scanning around looking for her earning confusions from Mira.
"I'm right here Lisanna" she said placing a hand on her shoulder as she let lone tear fall down her face before Lisanna's body was covered in a heavenly light before she was gone from this world leaving behind the battered dress she was wearing that day. "LISANNA!" screamed Mira through tears as she took the tattered dress and held it to her chest as Mira could not believe the impossible has happened she lost one of her only family she had left she then began sobbing berating herself for bringing them on this mission and not being physically able to protect .
But Ichigo not wanting to see anyone crying he just placed a strong hand on the smaller girls shoulder shaking her out of her thoughts before she turned looking at the tall hooded figure standing behind her as if the creature of death itself before it turned and started walking towards the Beast King.
"What are you doing" demanded Mira looking at the hooded figure walking towards the Beast King "No stop he not in his right mind he'll kill you" she yelled as she struggled to stand up but Ichigo just stopped before ripping off his cloak revealing his strong build, spiky orange hair, wearing a black long sleeve v-neck shirt with the number 15 on the left side of his chest over his heart with the sleeve's bunched up showing the skull mark on his wrist with white pants with a chain hanging from back to front.
"I can handle this" he said as he walked with his usual scowl on his face towards the beast king before a large red outlined black seal appeared in front of his form then his form began to be covered in pixels as his clothes change to from the long sleeve shirt to a black in white plated armor with two sheathed swords on his back. [4]
"A Re-quip that won't stand a chance against him" yelled Mirajane at the tall man in front of her with his back turned in her direction.
As Ichigo turned his head instead of the stern scowl, he turned to show a white skeletal mask with, black stripes running down vertically, and glowing yellow eyes it gave out a gravely growl for a reply "This is no re-quip" surprising Mira as she realize she looking at a branch of take-over she never seen before.
Before taking up into the air leaving behind a crater going after the Beast king at an extreme speed Mira watched him make seals all around the beast using them as springboards striking the beast with concussive red energy [5] blows as each one traveled at the speed of sound leaving behind a load boom after each attack was any indication.
"What is this guy? She asked as she watches him speed around the monstrous form that has taken over her brother flailing it arms as it attempts to hit the annoying creature attacking him.
That's when she saw it happen the monster swings stopped being frantic and with one aimed throw of his arm that hit true with its massive hand colliding with the small white figure sending him careening in her direction. Crashing into the ground with enough concussive force to throwing rock and debris into the air forcing Mirajane to shield her eye's from the raining debris.
She struggled to stand up to help the tall teen when she made it to the crater she see the tall teen with a large gash running from shoulder to hip diagonally across his chest. He gasped for air in the gravelly voice before bringing a clawed hand to his chest before sitting up and to Mirajane amazement she sees a white substance shoot out of the cut sealing it shut.
"About time it kicked in" he growled out in the gravelly voice which Mira assumed was a side effect of the take over as he taking the clawed hand on his chest running it across the armor as if checking where the cut used to be.
He stood up "I guess Bala's aren't going to work in this form" he said to himself as he walked out of the crater back towards the monster taking the twin blades out from there sheathes.
"Who are you and what are you planned on doing with those" demanded Mira gesturing towards the twin blades but she grimaced and flinched as the raised voice brought her attention to some possible broken ribs on her right side.
"Relax the names Ichigo and I'm not going to kill him at least not intentionally" he said more to himself as he stepped it a direct path before extending his arms, where the two short swords with tips connected in a pincer formation, as a red sphere of compressed energy began to grow at the tip of the swords.
'What's he planning' she thought to herself as she watches the red sphere growing and growing at the sword tips.
"Cero Zona" [6] he yelled out before the sphere went sailing across the canyon toward the Beast hitting it at its feet, causing a massive pillar of energy to explode skyward, causing the beast to cry out in agony at the attack surrounded it when it ended the Beast remained standing, thinking he needed to fire another, he put the swords back together, and began charging but stopped short of producing another as the beast began to fall backward landing on its back unmoving and unconscious.
(Moment before with Mira)
"What the hell was that" thought Mira to herself, as she watched the massive explosion subside that almost fully engulfed her brother turned monster she clutched the dress in her hand and silently prayed he will be okay she wouldn't know what to do if she lost both of them. When the smoke cleared the monster remained a standing mouth agape as if it was surprised by the attack.
She turned back toward the guy that was helping her to find him charging another of the blast "he can fire off something like that in quick succession I can't even do soul extinction back to back what is this guy" she gaped but the charging sphere dissipated as she turned to see the monster slowly tipping backward before falling.
She watched him walk up to the large beast cautiously, just in time to see him shrinking down to the hulking form of what she always knew as Elfman.
(Ichigo POV)
Seeing that he was unconscious and the battle was over Ichigo let his transformation recede letting his original clothes return. He walks into the large crater picking up the large teen placing his arm over his shoulder, before walking him out of the ground impression towards the girl from earlier.
He walked with the large teen arm draped over his shoulders towards some flat rocks where he laid him down to rest. He walked over the next ridge to find the leather wearing teen sitting on the ground watching him as he walked towards hers the dress now wrapped around her left hand and her eyes were red and puffy from crying .
When he got over to her he offered a hand to her she not wanting to let the dress go reached out with her injured right she took it hesitantly raising up only to grimace as she felt pain shoot through her arm and side as she fell back to the ground holding the arm close to her side with a grimace on her face.
Seeing the grimace on her face Ichigo crouched down to examine the arm he offered his hand she hesitantly extended it slightly for him to see he took the arm firmly into his hand at the wrist and the elbow. When looking closely it notices the slight bulging in the arm he bends the arm gently causing Mira to scream confirming the diagnosis.
"Oww what the hell" screamed Mira as she ripped the arm from his grip which she regretted greatly as she pain ripped through it once more.
"From what I can guess you have a broken arm and some cracked ribs but you probably already knew that" said Ichigo as he stood back and before taking off for the cliffs where his bag was located when he arrived. He found the old travel worn bag he used for the past year now before hopping back down towards the injured teens.
He lands in front of her as shields her eye from the dust that went into the air by turning her back not wanting to dirty the dress anymore than it already was. When he walked back over to her putting the bag down he reached inside pulled out a few medical supplies he then commenced in splinting the broken arm and wrapping the broken ribs. When he was done with that he took the hem of his cloak ripping off a long strip to make her a make shift sling.
Mira just flexed her fingers on the injured hand noticing the injuries didn't hurt as much she reached up an adjusted the shoulder strap of the sling before she pushed herself up off of the ground as Ichigo reacted grabbing her good arm by her shoulder helping her up the rest of the way.
"Go easy getting up if I'm right then you have a broken Radius with a few possible floating ribs" said Ichigo he helped her before, she started to hobble in the direction towards the direction where her brother was.
"I got to get to Elfman I got to make sure he is okay" she said determined as she hobbled till Ichigo placed an arm around her helping her along to make it over the hill. When she sees him on the rock there was a sudden sense of urgency as she tried to get to her brothers side with inner hope that he won't disappear as well.
But Ichigo held her back "Calm down he just resting" said Ichigo at hearing that calmed Mira down immensely. They walked over to his side and he placed her down gently beside him as she watched Ichigo began treating the cuts on him with more of his bandages from his bag.
"So what's wrong with him?" she asked as she rubbed her not so little 'little Brother' hand as Ichigo wrapped bandages around a gash on his head.
Before he spoke "well looking him over I would say he's a little banged up and he'll probably wake up with hell of a headache but he should be fine" he said earning a gracious smile from Mira as she looked down at the sleeping face of her brother as she bowed her head and began to sob.
As seeing that it was late in the evening he decided to let her be he placed the cloak over his shoulder before he started walking around picking up wood to make a fire. When he returned with an arm full of wood to find that Mira had fallen asleep laying over her brothers arm deciding not letting her sleep like that he dropped the wood, then lifted her up gently, before he laid her beside her brother, and placed his cloak over the two of them to keep them warm through the night. He then went to the process of making the fire so he doesn't freeze tonight.
(The next morning)
Ichigo sat propped against a rock after staying up all night as he prodded the fire as he added new debris to keep it going to prevent the morning chill from setting in. That when he sees the hulking figure of Elfman began to shift around as he woke up as started to remove the bandage wrapped around his head and eye when Ichigo stopped him by putting a hand on the moving arm.
"Who the hell are you?" demanded Elfman as he tried to sit up but then he notices that he couldn't move one of his arms. He threw the cloak off to see a bandaged Mira lying on his arm when he sees the bandages he stops trying to sit up he decided to glare at Ichigo instead who just had his normal scowl adorning his face.
"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki and you must be Elfman" said Ichigo casually as he extended his arm to shake hands but Elfman just stared at the hand with a skeptical look in his eyes.
"How the hell do you know my name" he continued as he went to sit up once again this time not stopping causing Mira to roll off of the rock they were laying on waking her up slightly in the process.
And in her sleep "Lisanna its too early just go back to sleep" she said as she reached out for something or someone when she didn't find it her eyes peeped open not seeing what she wanted the realization hit her she buried her face into the pink dress sobbing.
"Nee-chan why are you crying did this guy do something to you?" he asked as he looked back at Ichigo "What did you do to her as a man I will defend my sisters with my life" he demanded as he got up off of the rock slab getting into Ichigo's face challenging him.
When he mention sisters it brought Mira out of her first of many crying episode's that she will deal with today with puffy eyes and a runny nose she placed a soft hesitant hand on Elfman shoulder, snapping him out of his aggressiveness he turned to comfort his older sister that's when he noticed the pink dress in her hand.
"Nee-chan please tell me what's wrong where's Lisanna?" asked Elfman as he placed his large hands on each of her shoulders, shaking her slightly as her quivering lips are moving but no sound was coming out of them.
Seeing as this wasn't getting anywhere Ichigo spoke up "Your sister Lisanna is no longer with us" he said solemnly from his standing position beside the two.
When he said that Elfman's head turned so fast his neck was threatening to break "What did you say?" he asked confused looking back to Mira who was bawling to herself at the mention of her now dead sister. He sat in confusion before anger ensued through him as looked back to Ichigo "Did you do it? did you kill her?" he demanded as he got up off the rock he was sitting on grabbing Ichigo by the collar lifting him off the ground as much as he could.
"If I killed her why would I hang around here and then why would I have treated yours and her injuries" said Ichigo with his usual stern scowl causing Elfman to look at the bawling older sister to see the bandaged arm and sling.
"You treated our wounds why?" demanded as his grip loosened "If you didn't kill her then who did?" he asked setting Ichigo back on the ground.
"So you don't remember anything" spoke Mira as she wiped the tears from her eyes as she seemed to have stopped crying, causing Elfman to look over to her as a look of confusion crossed his face.
"No after I took over the Beast King my memory is blank all I see is this white dot shooting off this red light going around me" stated Elfman as he plopped down on the stone he rested on the night before as he tries to recollect what happened the night before.
"Ooh that was probably me" said Ichigo as he realized what Elfman was describing the fight from the last night earning a confused look from Elfman.
"Anyways the Beast King was too much for you to handle you lost control and started to rampage through the town and Lisanna tried to stop you" said a sniffling Mira as she continued to dab her eyes of tears before motioning to the burned down town over the next ridge where you can see smoke still drifting into the sky.
"I tried to stop you but the beast over powered me " said Mira earning a mortified look crossed Elfman face as the realization came back to him, as there was a sudden flash of memory of a smiling Lisanna speaking to him before she was gone.
"I did it I'm the one that killed her" said Elfman as the realization finally hit him he gazed at his hands as if there were stained red he began to shake as images of a bloodied Lisanna crying for her big brother to help her came to mind.
"Ooh Elfman" whaled Mira she watched him begin crying as she went to comfort him as the two of them cried in each other's arms as Ichigo just stood to the side feeling like a third wheel as the family mourned the loss of their youngest sibling. Deciding to leave them be as their wounds were treated he picked up the cloak from the stone placing it over his shoulders before shouldering his bag he started to walk away heading into the forest when Elfman called out to him.
"Ichigo please wait up" said a red eyed hoarse Elfman as he came up to him with a sniffling Mira by his side before he got onto his knees. "Please except my humble apology for all the trouble I have caused you" he said bowing his head to the ground giving Ichigo a traditional apology through tears.
"Ooh none of that get off the ground" said Ichigo gesturing for him to get of the ground as he stood up rubbing his eyes of embarrassing tears that a man should not have. Ichigo see the only way of getting out he straightened up "Elfman as you were not in your right mind I accept your apology" said Ichigo placing a firm hand on shoulder.
"Please there has to be something we can do for you" said Mira as she bowed at the waist looking at the ground.
"Ugh not you too it's no problem really its not like I could just leave him like that" said Ichigo as Mira raised up with a nod of her head rubbing eye's with the back of her hand. "Now is not the time for apology it the time for mourning so I believe she deserves a proper burial" said Ichigo as he gestured to the pink dress still clutched in Mira's hands.
"Not here" said Elfman as he gazed at his older sister "I don't want the rest of the guild to never know where her grave is they are as much her family as we were" he continued earning a nod of approval from Mira who stood beside him as they both turned and began walking away.
Taking the hint that the conversation was over he shouldered his bag, and pulled his hood up over his head he began walking away once more when he is stopped yet again.
"Umm Ichigo if you don't have any other plans would you please come with us to explain what happened to our Master?" asked Mira as she stood in front of Elfman. "And you would do her and us both the honor if you would attend the funeral" said Mira as she was the older sibling.
"Why so you want me go I was the one that couldn't save her" said Ichigo as the both of them grouped together then spoke.
"But you tried to save her out of the goodness of your heart and that is good enough for us to call you a friend" said Elfman as he again bowed his head this at the waist as a sign of respect.
"Ooh not this again fine I'll go with you to attend the funeral" said Ichigo as he walked past the two of them towards the town of Magnolia tired of the embarrassing situation.
Seeing that they had succeeded in getting him to come with the both of them they rushed to walk with him. They walked in utter silence as no one knew what words to say in the situation.
When they walked for a few hours when Mira who was hugging the pink dress close to her chest decided to break the silence as it was doing none of them any good "So um Ichigo do you have guild you belong to?" asked Mira honestly as they walked in order to make small talk.
"Well if your trying coax information out about me your being rather straight forward" said Ichigo turned his head looking down at her after he had removed his hood when the started walking with him. " no I don't have a legal guild I belong to is that a problem" he continued with his usual scowl which she returned bringing back her usual personality she held his gaze.
"Well if you're not in a guild then what do you do for money?" she asked when he shook his head negatively and chuckled. Before he stopped his walking, pulling his right arm from his cloak, he held it out to them see.
"I never said I wasn't in a guild its just not a legal one" stated Ichigo as turned over his arm up to expose the black flaming skull tattoo on the underside of his wrist.
When she saw the mark Mira looked at it confused as she didn't recognize it but Elfman did that's when he decided to join the conversation "I know that mark that the mark of the Soul Society Right?" stated Elfman earning a nod from Ichigo as he was correct.
"Soul Society what's that I never heard of them?" asked Mira as she looks confused as she is losing control of the conversation.
"It's a Independent Guild right?" asked Elfman as he once again receives a nod in reply at being correct.
"An independent guild why would you join one of those?" asked Mira as most independent guilds were mercenary group out on a vendetta, against someone they always seem to go bad in the end.
"Yes that right it's a guild me and few choice people who joined together to create" said Ichigo as looked eye to eye with the Elfman completely ignoring Mira question as he held a conversation with the much taller teen.
"So where do you meet up with your guild?" asked Mira to get a sheepish look from Ichigo as turned from Elfman to look at her he rubbed his head as he thought of the more logical way of saying what he need to say.
"That's the thing we all went on different missions about a year ago and we never made a meet up plan" he stated earning dumbfounded looks from the two Strauss's. "And as most independent guild we don't have a guild hall so we don't have a usual meet up spot" he finished as it caused the two of them to face fault before they recovered.
"What do you mean you don't have a meet up plan" asked Mira angrily as she look at him with a look of disbelief on her face at his guild's sheer stupidity not having a get together plan. As she began vocally berating him and his guilds for their lack of planning she was getting riled up enough her old personality was bleeding through the mourning one even more as she almost began physically attacking him when Elfman wrapped her in his arms holding her back from attacking the man that probably saved both of their lives.
"Nee-chan you need to calm down" said Elfman as he struggled to hold onto the much smaller girl. He held onto her for a few more minutes as Ichigo watched with a rare smile till the struggling stopped he watched as as she took a deep calming breath taking it as on okay sign Elfman set her on the ground.
"If you don't have a place to go why don't you stay with us and our guild?" asked Mira throwing Elfman off as he wasn't expecting that from her "It's the least we can do for all the thing you have done for us" she finished.
"So you want me up and drop my own guild to join Fairytail" stated Ichigo earning another dumbfounded look from the two of them before anger coursed through Elfman at the thought of his sisters honor.
"How would you know she was from Fairytail her mark isn't visible" demanded Elfman as Mira guild mark was on her upper thigh under her shorts thinking Ichigo as some sort of pervert he went on the defensive to defend his older sisters when Mira hit him in the back of the head.
"Oh get a grip Elfman he saw the mark on your neck" said Mira as she pointed to the mark on his neck making Elfman face fault at his own mistake.
"Ooh I'm so very sorry for insulting your manhood please except my apology" said Elfman sheepishly as got on his hands and knees bowing his head as he was incredibly wrong on his accusation earning a sweat drop at yet another of Elfmans apology.
Ichigo decided upon ignoring the apology he walked past them both going over a hill to that led out of the forest and out below them was the large city of Magnolia there were this close and didn't even realize it.
When the two of them stepped up beside him to see what he was looking at when Mira spoke up "Welcome to Magnolia home to the strongest guild on all of Fiore" said Mira giving the town below the grand explanation. "Come on the guild halls just over there" she said in a dreading voice as she lead them down the hill and through the south gate entrance before walking up to a rather noisy looking building with the Fairytail symbol at the top of it.
Feeling slightly apprehensive about going into the building Ichigo stops as they open the door to walk inside without him. When Elfman spoke up "Aren't you coming inside?" he asked earning a nod from Ichigo before her raised his hood up over his orange hair before following them inside.
