1Bleach/Everyday.W.M.G.

'One year, sixty-three days, 7 hours, and 51 minutes.' Ichigo thought as he laid on his couch. It had been that long since he had lost his soul reaper powers from his fight with Azin. 'One year, forty-one days.' Ichigo didn't remember the hours or minutes but that was when he was given a gift, the awakening of his hidden powers, and reawakening of his hollow. Lifting his arm Ichigo looked at the small black cross the small black cross that hung from his wrist, it seemed so much like that of a Quincy's own cross with the exception of color, and possibly that could have been the only difference for all he knew, but he couldn't make a bow, or fire off hordes of deadly arrow shaped constructs of spirit energy. The Cross was definitely not a Quincy Cross as far was he could tell, but that's not to say the cross was useless. It had in fact been the reason his hollow had reawaken, and did give him the ability to see the dead again, but also gave him, what he considered the best power ever, the ability to bend reality. It wasn't something that made him go into a type of God Mode, and he couldn't actually use it in head on battle against Hollows, but it was a blessing for everyday life.

By picturing an object in his head he could, and using a hell of a lot of spirit energy, Ichigo could make it real he could make anything for anyone, not that he told anyone, not even hat 'n clogs knew. Sadly it wasn't from him not wanting to tell anyone, it's just that no one seemed willing to talk to him, mostly it was just his few friends who didn't originally know about the spirit world that stood by him, but even as time went on it was soon only Keago that really talked to him; but that had all but stopped since Ichigo graduated early (and the few rare times they saw each other on the street), or the girls that originally crowded around Orihime, that seemed to stock him.

As far as anyone knew Ichigo was only able to get the general direction of where a high level spirit, like Vice-Captain and above level wise, was and that was only thanks to the cross. He hadn't seen any of the Visards, excluding Lisa and Hachigen who came to check up on him every so often, he knew Shinji took up his old Captain's position, Love was back in the Kido Corps, and the others had joined back with their old squads. He hadn't seen any of the Shinigami since Rukia and his last talk.

It seemed though that Rukia wasn't done talking to everyone else. Ichigo knew that it was tanks to his overflow of Spirit energy that the people he was closet to became Spiritually aware, and Rukia was recruiting them for Soul Society.

Chizuru was actually one of his closest friends, something he never would have thought possible a year ago, and the two had bonded and became closer. He learned of why she had acted the way she did, an abusive divorced father and a feminist mother who threatened her with disownment when it came to her wanting a boyfriend. Chizuru learned of his fears and night terrors he gained from the war. His stories were the prime reason Chizuru had turned Rukia down when she was given the offer.

It was about a week after losing his powers that Ichigo had graduated from High School, all his extra free time had driven him crazy, and his father's insanity added to the fact that he couldn't (and didn't need to) sleep for more then one hour didn't help at all, this all had led to his current living arrangement. The first goal he had made was to get himself emancipated(and with a little underhanded tactics had also gained guardianship over his sisters), the second had been raiding his hidden accounts, almost every thug and gang banger want-a-be had at least 2,000¥(about $200 in USD) on them, and that was on the low-low end from the usual crowd he beat down, plus he usually took out eight to twelve guys a day during the week. Weekends could be anywhere from ten to twenty-three, about a week before he had been given Rukia's powers he hit a hideout with close to fifty members, ten of them got away, twelve of them surrendered the moment they saw him, and only a third of the remaining twenty-two were carrying, and only one of them was a good enough aim to even come close to hitting Ichigo, and was the first to be taken out.

After gathering his funds and waiting for all the paperwork to be finalized, Ichigo took a test for to gain a Drivers license and passed. It was as he shopped for for a car that Hat 'n Clogs had given him the cross, expecting Ichigo to regain his Shinigami powers back in full. His Shinigami powers didn't come back, the hollow did, along with his ability to feel Spirit Energy, and it had taken three days for him to accidentally discover his reality bending power.

It was a three days after his discovery and played around with it that he bought an old beat up American Jeep. Renting a storage unit to hide it he spent a month and a half using his ability to create the missing parts, using photos and videos from the Internet to figure out how to mentally craft them. After the week and a half it took to put all the little pieces of the missing parts together it only took a few days to install them. He had spent a few hours trying to paint it with his powers and after a few (many) failed attempts he had finally gotten it to be one continues color, military green.

The first time he drove it home his father had thrown a hissy fit about how he was suppose to be the one to get a new car, it was solved with the daily beat down Ichigo gave his father, which was seemingly becoming hourly when he was home. Yuzu was worried he would hurt himself in what she called "Shiny old death trap" and Karin had demanded to ride Shotgun. His father tried to stop them, saying how Ichigo didn't have a license, and with a flash of his open wallet Ichigo and Karin were riding down the street, Yuzu had staid behind to comfort their crying father.

It was a week after driving Karin around that Ichigo used some of his left over money to buy a plot of land just outside of Karakura town's city limits. With the lack of people living near him Ichigo was able to use his ability freely without restraint. He started by spending about a week total studying how to build a house from the ground up. After failing a few times in just trying to make a simple but complete cabin in the back edge of the large property he realized how out of his depth he truly was.

After studying on just the way to build a cabin step by step he was able to make one of moderate size. Pluming was something he actually had to call someone in for, and after a full week of nothing but raiding gangs outside of Karakura town was able to pay for a company to come out and run water, sewer, and electric to the edge of his property. He spent a full week and a half alongside the work crew, learning how everything was set up and put together. He spent the rest of that half week moving from company build projects to build projects to learn such things as heating, pluming and the other basics of house building.

Ichigo laid on his couch, having spent to much energy furnishing his house. 'The hotspring in the back was too much...' Ichigo growned, but in his mind knew that is was only the hardest because he saved to for last. 'Come to think about it, this is my first week actually living in the house.' He still needed to bring Karin and Yuzu to see it, 'plus Keago...' He hated to think the over emotional Keago had done anything to help him, but he had. 'Also Chizuru and and the other girls.'

He sat up and reached for his cell phone, a graduation gift from his little sisters, and sent out a mass text saying
/Ichigo: Is anyone free today?/
He was about to set the phone down when it started vibrating, and after checking who it was he couldn't repress a grunt of both amusement and annoyance, Keago was the first to reply.
/Kego46: Icccchhhhiiiiggggooooooo!/
Ichigo's eyes twitched, he wanted to punch Keago.
/Ichigo1: How long have you been staring at your phone waiting for me to text?/
The reply was instant.
/Keago: Not long:)/
Ichigo rolled his eyes as a new person joined the conversation.
/Chizuru3: Yes, why?/
Ichigo was about to reply when everyone else he texted came into the chat.
/Yuzu K.: You actually used the phone!(^~^)/
/Karin K.: We free why/

Everyone else replied yes that that they were free but wanted to know why.
/Ichigo1: My house is finished and I wanted to show you guys, I would be picking you up in my car./
Keago was the most expressive with his disbelief about both the fact he had his own house and his own car.

((So much so that the author has decided to skip skip it as it would take up too much time to write and take up way too much free space on my computer.))

/Ichigo1: so who wants to come?/
Keago was the first to respond followed by Chizuru, and Yuzu who all texted the same answer,
/:Me me me me me me me me((just add another hundred for Keago))
/Karin: Sure call shotgun./
Everyone else responded yes and gave their address for him to pick them up.

Ichigo looked at the clock he hung on the wall, it was only a little past 10am.
/Ichigo1: I'm on my way./

He got off the couch and started making his way towards his garage, to prepare his Jeep. It was originally only meant for five to six people with plenty of room in the back for supplies, but whoever had it before him had modified both the back, to hold an extra row of seats and left a third of the original space for storage, and the gear shifter had been relocated to the dashboard so a third person could sit upfront.

'Keago is going in the trunk.' Ichigo thought as he picked up the third row seat and began to hook it up into the frame of the Jeep. He decided against putting the top on, seeing how much Karin had loved it and the wind would drown out Keago's voice. About to start the Jeep Ichigo checked the gas and cursed at the realization that he wouldn't have enough to pick everyone up and get back home.

Getting back out Ichigo opened the tank and proceeded to stick the palm of his hand up against the lip of the tank. He felt the cold gasoline that had been trapped inside the lip of the lid against his palm, and started to push his spiritual power into the explosive liquid. He envisioned gasoline poring from his palm and into the tank to fill it. His spirit power dropped by a tenth, not nearly as much as it had the first time he tried to fill the Jeep, and his palm began to warm. It wasn't even a full two minutes and Ichigo was already pulling out of his garage, on his way to pick up the closest person to him.

-POV change-

Chizuru didn't know what to expect really, her life had done a complete 180 and she didn't know where she stood. She no longer feared her father, as he was rotting behind bars for being the head conspirator in a plot to rob a bank outside of Karakura, thankfully the gang he had forced to join him had gone to the police with the information and her father was arrested and the gang was put on probation but rewarded by the bank (and Ichigo by him promising not to beat down its members as long as they didn't break any laws(not that Chizuru needed to know about that)) as hired security for the bank and its branches.

There was also her relationship with her mother. The two had always been somewhat close, not that fake TV closeness, but somewhat more along the line of distant friends. Then her whole life flips over, Orihime slapped her and pushed her away instead of hiding behind her attack dog, her eyes had looked just like her fathers for a moment before she walked away.

The relationship between her nether and herself started to deteriorate after that. The woman had always told her it was only a man who could hurt her like that, like her father. That realization of her mothers lie had opened so many doors.

Then Ichigo stepped thought one of those doors and into her life, she learned things she never would have believed, and thanks to that she avoided what could have been the biggest mistake of her life. She had come within a hairs length of accepting Rukia's offer of joining the other spiritually aware that Soul Society had been recruiting, and if a third of Ichigo's stories were true then she didn't want anything to to with them.

But that was no longer here nor there, it was in the past where it belonged and now she faced a much bigger dilemma, finding something to ware over to Ichigo's new home.
