So my first story. I have to thank SilverFang1794 and SpunkyOne before I begin. You are both my inspiration to start writing. SilverFang as a personal friend I saw you work up the courage to post your story and I couldnt help but think maybe I could too. And SpunkyOne your stories are amazing. They are my Yaoi favs and my inspiration to soon write my own yaoi story!

And a Note to my readers. This story begins after chapter 476 in Bleach so I would suggest reading it before this.

Return Of powers

Ginjo is dead. That was it. It was all finally over he thought to himself. Ichigo released his new bankai which quickly reverted himself to shikai. He quickly realised he could not put it on his back with the short chain. Rubbing a hand through his spiky orange hair and trying to figure out how to put away the sword he is interrupted by a familiar presence in his mind.

Ichigo. With the power of your fullbring now combined in your sword you can seal me. Zangetsu interrupted his thoughts. Focus on the spiritual pressure in your sword and try to compress it.

"Oh...Your back now, I guess that would make sense with the return of my powers. You know though that I'm no good at this kind of stuff . "He said out loud to Zangetsu.

Just try and focus on me, you have always been able to sense the energy in me so try to seal me. Zangetsu instructed him. It really is not that hard and even someone like you who is undisciplined in reiatsu control should be able to do this.

Ya King. You should be able to handle this now, considering all of the borrowed power you have now as well. Even I could do it. His hollow said quickly interrupting his thoughts. Of course he would be back with Zangetsu; in fact he was surprised he had not tried breaking free of Ichigo's control yet.

Of course you would interrupt this. And Zangetsu I know all this, but it doesn't make this an easier... fine ill try. He quickly reverted to speaking in his mind rather than out loud remembering that he had an audience. He did not want them hearing his conversation considering his hollow was involved. So he closed his eyes and he began to focus on Zangetsu's reiatsu imagining it like a bunch of clay he began to pack all the stray strands together in a ball. Then he heard a gasp from someone beside him He opened his eyes and saw Rukia's violet eyes staring at his hands. He looked down in shock and saw a regular sized, but black katana. The hilt looked just like his bankai's but it now had a Sheath. The sheath was in black with a red jagged stripe down the middle.

"Well we certainly didn't expect that to happen" Renji spoke out as Rukia was still staring rather bluntly at his now sealed Zangetsu.

"Hey Renji. And ya Zangetsu said that I can seal him now that I have the combined power of Fullbring and Shinigami.. I guess it will make easier for carrying it around but I think I'm gonna miss the heavy weight on my back that I'm so used too." He stated with a slight sense of loss. "So Reni why are you still here? All of the captains have left now that they have achieved their goal." He asked him with an odd look in his eye.

"Well unlike the captains I am here as a friend although I was ordered to come here by the head captain I would have found a way to come once I heard that the others were coming. I wanted to make sure everything went well and that you made the right decision. I will tell you that I had no clue about the captain's earlier decision..."

"Shut up." He was quickly cut off by Ichigo. "I knew from the start that it was between the captain's which is why it was Rukia's captain that gave me the badge. You were just the dumbass who got swept into the mess by fighting me and then befriending me." Ichigo explained rather harshly. He had not meant to be rude but with everything that had happened he was too exhausted to "play" nice.

"Hey! Did you forget about someone here?" Rukia interrupted the boys."I was involved and what do you have to say? Do you care?" She quickly questioned him without really giving him a chance to interrupt. He can be so absent minded sometimes she said to herself.

"I have to admit that it kind of shocked me that you would have been involved, but it does kind of make sense as to why you stuck around and why you refused my help whenever I offered." He said.

"That is not why I stuck around." She said with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Oh. Well then why did you?" Ichigo asked his cheeks reddening a little from the hidden meaning.

"No...Non...None of your business fool." She stuttered. Finishing by slapping him over the head...

"Ow what was that for! Never mind." He said wincing slightly but afraid to further encourage the unexpected abuse.

"Sorry for interrupting the get together here but I... uh had better get back to the soul society before Bya comes and gets me to get all of the paperwork done that I forgot to finish. I'll make sure to come back and visit when I'm done." He quickly finished and opened a Senkaimon. As he was walking through he turned around and looked back at Ichigo and Rukia who still had blushes on their faces. I don't think they have even realised how the react around each other yet he mused to himself. It reminds me of a certain couple. And the Senkaimon closed with him chuckling to himself.

"Bya? Where did that come from? If I gave Byakuya a nick name like that I would be feeling the sting of Senbonzakura's blades." He stated rather confused on the new name.

"Don't worry about it. I will explain later all of the things you have missed out on in the Seireitei."Rukia said. Inwardly she was laughing at the idea of trying to explain to Ichigo about the new relationship status between her brother and best friend.

Now there were only three of them left since his father and Urahara had left sometime during all of the battling. Rather suddenly they felt a hollow presence nearby. Ichigo began turning in the direction of the hollow with his instinct's kicking in. Uryu though quickly stepped in front of him.

"You stay put and enjoy the reunion. I will handle the hollow and come see you later." And he quickly disappeared as usual giving Ichigo no time to argue.

And so Ichigo and Rukia were left alone. Ichigo has been left rather tongue tied from the whole situation and he began having flashbacks of how he felt when he had lost his powers watching Rukia fade away. His vision clouded over a little and he seemed to lose track of himself

Slap! Rukia hits him on the shoulder rather unexpectedly.

"What was that for this time?" He said quickly. "I don't really think I deserve this from some shorty." Of course that comment receives another slap and a very hard glare.

Ha! Look at the king now. Getting beat about by a girl shorter than him! Ichigo's hollow interrupted.

Shut up. This is none of your business so butt out. And his hollow stopped talking. He thought it was weird that he would listen so easily to him but he ignored it.

"Because Strawberry you're a fool and you started to cry in front of me."She said receiving a glare from Ichigo when she used the nickname. She had interrupted his thoughts with obvious irritation as well as some concern as well. "I'm standing here waiting for you to do something and all you do is stare into space and begin crying. That is not the Ichigo I know!" She yelled at him as if angry even thought this was nothing to be upset about.

"In my opinion this is perfectly normal. It has been over 17 months since I've seen any of you guys. After being with you for what? 2 years. Don't you think I might have been a little distraught? I tried my best to start a normal life as things would have been before meeting you but I really didn't do that well. As you can see I got mixed up in a whole load of a mess in order to see you again. I joined Xcution with the thought that if I got my powers back I would be able to see you...and everyone else as well." Ichigo comes to a halt to his rave and looks at Rukia. She was blushing. Why the hell was she blushing? He quickly jumps to conclusions and begins to ask her if she's ill. "Are you okay? You look kind of..."

"I'm fine." She states rather bluntly. Happy that he didn't figure what the redness on her cheeks really meant she began walking away. Ichigo didn't really understand what was going but he followed after her in silence. After a while he realized they were heading towards his home. He figured she was just returning him home and was going to tell him about the things he had missed out on and then head back to the soul society. Of course he was entirely wrong.

Sorry about the cliffhanger there, but it is necessary. So My first Attempt at writing a story. I dont think it will be to long as it is only my first but hopefully it is good. I am a Yaoi fangirl but this story is going to have a focus on a heterosexual relationship. Of course I couldn't entirely deny yaoi fans so there will be a little in here. Im not going to be overly graffic yet. I wan't to get used to writing a story and using different idea's and stuff before I break down into the harder to write stuff.

I would love critique. But please be a little nice this time. Its my very first attempt at story writing. I read stuff like crazy but I never actually wrote anything. And No Haters or unnecessary foul language.
