A total of seven years have passed since the destruction of Darakro and all dimensions have been saved by Davis Motomiya and his friends and they have been made legends, but now a new era has begun for a new hero.
Karakura town is where our new hero lives. Right now he begins to wake up with his bright orange hair all messed up.
"Good morning Ichigo!" A man came jumping in through the open window, but Ichigo pushed his father out.
"I wish you stop with those morning wake up calls old man." Ichigo said. He got dressed in his school uniform and went down as his two younger sisters were already up. "Morning Karin and Yuzu."
"Morning Ichigo. I made waffles." Yuzu said. "You better eat fast or you're going to be late for school." When she said that he looked at the time and saw she was right.
"Oh I got to go." Ichigo said. He sat down and started to chomp down on his food.
"Take it easy or you're going to choke." Karin said.
"Hey you want me to save you from humiliation and take you to school instead of Dad?" Ichigo said.
"No that's okay. You'll be late for your school day anyway." Yuzu said.
"Alright. See you later. Oh can't forget this" Ichigo said gathering a dueling deck and ran out the door. 'My name is Ichigo Kurosaki and this is my story.'
Going fast makes me feel alive
My heart beats in hyper drive
Do you think you can win?
Only if I lose
Just let destiny choose
I can hear you breathing
I can see you coming
I can feel the wind
It's blowing me around
Take a shot at me running side by side
It's a blur…as I go by
I can hear you breathing
I can see you coming
I can feel the wind
It's blowing me around
See the sun arising
Fire in the sky
Greatness thrusts itself into our lives.
Ichigo was running through the streets of Karakura trying not to be late for school. It was just in sight when he saw these two girls he was friends with.
"Hey Orihime, Rukia." Ichigo said. The two of the turned around and saw him.
"Hi Ichigo." Orihime said.
"You made it just in time." Rukia said.
"Yeah I can see that." Ichigo said as the bell went off.
"Hello Iiiiiiiichiiiiiiiiigoooooooo!" A guy said running right to him, but Ichigo held out his arm and he crashed into it.
"Hey Keigo." Ichigo said. Class was starting up and he met up with his friends Chad, Keigo, and Mizuiro. "Hey you guys."
"Morning Ichigo." Mizuiro said.
"How's it going?" Chad said.
"Hey Ichigo I saw you walk in with Rukia and Orihime. How does it feel having one of those two as a girlfriend?" Keigo said, but Ichigo just smacked him on the head.
"You're such an idiot. Neither one of them is my girlfriend." Ichigo said. "Besides if I go out with Orihime there's a good chance her best friend Tatsuki will hurt me at just the thought of treating her badly."
"Oh I wouldn't do that." Ichigo turned around to face a girl with spikey black hair.
"Hey Tatsuki." Ichigo said.
"I wouldn't hurt you at the thought of treating Orihime badly. I hurt you if you actually did treat her bad." Tatsuki said popping her knuckles.
"Good to know." Ichigo said a bit nervous. It was just a normal day at school for Ichigo. When a free period came for him he was just sitting outside staring at the sky.
"Hi Ichigo." He looked to see Orihime with Rukia walk up to him.
"Hey you two." Ichigo said.
"Is it okay if we have lunch with you?" Orihime said.
"Sure." Ichigo said as the two of them sat down. "So what did you two bring?"
"I brought a simple peanut butter and jelly with salad and juice." Rukia said.
"I brought leftover ramin with honey and extra red bean paste." Orihime said, but they thought that sounded disgusting.
"Orihime where do you come up with these recipes?" Ichigo said.
"I'm actually worried if I eat it I'll lose my stomach." Rukia whispered.
"Hey Ichigo can I ask you something?" Orihime said.
"What is it?" Ichigo said.
"You like to duel? Do you ever think that you'll be a champion one day?" Orihime said.
"Actually I like to think so." Ichigo said. "One day I wish to be a strong duelist and face the legendary duelists. You know the ones that saved our world from that danger named Darakro. I still remember seeing it in the sky when I was only eight." 'Then one day I hope to face him like he said.' He thought.
"Well it's nice to dream big."
"Hey what's going on over there?" Orihime said and pointed towards a group of students gathered around something. They pushed through and saw it was a duel and Keigo was in it.
"It's Keigo." Ichigo said.
"Look who he's dueling." Rukia said. They saw he was dueling a guy with tattoos with red hair in a spikey ponytail. "It's Renji."
"Sorry Keigo, but this ends now. Zabimaru attack him directly." Renji said. His monster attack and Keigo lost all his life points. "Ha, maybe that will teach you to be more careful."
"But you were the one that challenged me." Keigo said.
"Hey what's going on?" Ichigo said.
"Renji challenged Keigo to a duel." Tatsuki said.
"As you can see he lost." Mizuiro said.
"So you want to go for two?" Renji said, but then he spotted Ichigo and the others. "Oh hey Ichigo. I didn't see you there. Kind of hard to miss that orange hair of yours."
"It's been a while since the school bully looked at me." Ichigo said. Then Renji spotted Rukia.
"How've you been Rukia?" Renji said.
"A lot better without you. Whatever happened to you Renji? You're not the same from back when we were in grade school." Rukia said.
"Well things changed. I'll be right with you." Renji said and walked over to Keigo. "Look if you're not going to duel me again then just give me your deck." Ichigo placed his hand on Renji and kicked his feet and tossed him to the ground.
"Ichigo?" Keigo said.
"That was a bad move." Renji said.
"You're saying you want a duel, then duel me." Ichigo said. "Keigo's my friend and I won't let you bully him around."
"You want to duel me? That's fine with me." Renji said.
"Are you sure about this Ichigo?" Orihime said.
"Don't worry. I can handle this." Ichigo said.
"You're going to regret saying that. I'm ready if you are." Renji said. The two of them placed on their duel disks and activated them.
"Let's duel!" They both said at 4000LP.
"I'll go first. I summon Reaper Of Spirits." Ichigo said. A man wearing a black cape and hood holding a scythe came up with 1700atk points. "Of course since I went first I can't attack so I end my turn."
"It's my move now." Renji said. "I summon Burning Gorilla in attack mode." A red fur gorilla came up with 1800atk points. "Next I'm activating the spell card, Burning Fists. Now for this one turn a fire attribute monster gains 500atk points. With my monster having higher attack points your monster is as good as finished since that's how it works." His gorilla's points went to 2300. "Now my gorilla attack his Reaper Of Spirits with Ballistic Burn." His gorilla's fists caught on fire and pounded the reaper and brought Ichigo to 3400. "That ends my turn for now." He said and his gorilla's points returned to normal.
"It's my move now. First I summon Soul Seizer." Ichigo said. A man that was covered in a purple cape with a black curved hat came up with 1500atk points.
"Only 1500atk points? You just don't listen do you?" Renji said.
"Oh I do Renji." Ichigo said. "That's why I'm activating the spell Shrink. With this spell card your monster loses half of its attack points." Burning Gorilla's points went down to 900.
"Alright. Now Soul Seizer is stronger than Burning Gorilla." Orihime said.
"Soul Seizer attack with Soul Magic Grab." Ichigo said. Soul Seizer had a hand of energy shot out and grabbed the gorilla and was destroyed as Renji was brought to 3400. "With that I end my turn."
"I'll get you for that." Renji said. "First I summon my Pyro Python in attack mode." A red snake covered in flames slithered up with 900atk points. "Next I use my python's ability which can take away 600 of your life points." His python slithered past his monster and bit Ichigo as he was brought to 2800. "Now watch this. I activate the spell card Beast Calling. When I have a beast monster in my graveyard I can summon it. Welcome back Burning Gorilla." His gorilla came back with 1800atk points. "Now are you ready to see my unite summoning?"
"Unite summoning?" Orihime said.
"It was created by a famous duelist named Ross." Chad said.
"That's right. You take two monsters that are the same attribute and their levels have to equal the monster you're trying to summon." Renji said. "I unite my level four Burning Gorilla with level three Pyro Python." They both became red energy and came together. "I unite summon Zabimaru." A white monkey with a snake for a tail with two circling objects came up with 2400atk points. "Now watch this. I use Zabimaru's ability. I use both unite units to activate it by giving him 500atk points for each one." The snake ate both unit units and his points went to 3400. "Zabimaru attack with Baboon Snake Fury." Zabimaru ran in and pounded Soul Seizer and destroyed him bringing Ichigo to 900LP.
"Oh no." Orihime said.
"Don't worry Orihime. It's not over yet." Rukia said.
"So tell me, have you had enough yet?" Renji said.
"Not even close." Ichigo said. "The fact is I don't see myself losing to you. It's my move now. First I summon Twin Sword Slayer in attack mode." A warrior with twin swords at 1600atk points came up. "Next I activate the spell card Soul Reprise. When I have a monster with soul or spirit in its name I can bring it back. Come again Soul Seizer." His seizer came up again.
"What's the point? Neither of those monsters can take down Zabimaru." Renji said.
"These two are going to help because you aren't the only one who can unite summon." Ichigo said. "I unite Soul Seizer and Twin Sword Slayer." They became black energy and came together. "I unite summon Zangetsu." A man with long brown hair and a cloak with a sword that looked like a large knife came up with 2500atk points.
"Zangetsu?" Renji said.
"My ace monster." Ichigo said. "Now I use Zangetsu's ability. By using one unite unit he gains attack points equal to half of the points of one of the monsters' that was used to summon him. I choose Twin Sword Slayer." Zangetsu slashed one unite unit and his points went to 3300.
"That's not enough." Renji said.
"Maybe, but that ability also drops your monsters by the same amount." Ichigo said and Zabimaru's points went to 2600. "Now Zangetsu attack Zabimaru with Moon Piercing Heaven." Zangetsu fired a crescent shape energy blast and destroyed Zabimaru as Renji was brought to 2900. "Finally I use the Spiritual Assistance spell. When I destroy a monster this spell allows my monster to attack you directly. Zangetsu finish this."
"Whoa hold on." Renji said, but it was too late as Zangetsu slashed at him and he lost.
"Wow he won!" Orihime said.
"Congrats Ichigo." Mizuiro said.
"Thanks guys. It was nothing." Ichigo said.
"Hey Ichigo." Renji said as he got up. "Don't think things are over between us."
"Any time you want to challenge me again then bring it." Ichigo said. The two stared at each other as rivals and that rivalry was born.
"I'll see you around." Renji said as he walked away.
"Oh Renji." Rukia said.
"Wow Ichigo you got a serious deck." Tatsuki said.
"Thanks." Ichigo said as he looked at Zangetsu. 'This deck means a lot. Thanks Mom and Davis.' He thought.
AN: That's right, I'm starting to do Bleach stories and Digimon stories. I have a favorite pairing, but I want to see if you guys can figure out who it is.
