Chapter 1: Ichigo's Proposal part 1

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach, I just own the story idea

A/N: This is my very first fan fiction ever, and was inspired to start writing by my friend (only author in my favorites). I apologize if it is not very good, as I said this is my first fanfic I have ever written. I'm not sure how long of a story this going to be though and depending on how it progresses I will probably do requests for certain chapters. This is also an ICHIRUKI story, and Ichigo can still use his Fullbring powers and now can use kidō.

It had been four years since the defeat of Aizen at Ichigo's hands. Not too long after he and Rukia started dating. Today marked their four year anniversary and Ichigo wanted to ask Rukia for her hand in marriage. He even went as far as to asking Byakuya for his blessings in it. Surprisingly Byakuya was okay right away with the idea, he just had one stipulation before would give his blessing. Ichigo thought of how he had to earn Byakuya's blessing on his way to meet up with Rukia.

FLASH BACK

As Ichigo approached the Kuchiki manor he was still trying to think of a way to bring up the subject of marrying Rukia. "I might as well just ask Byakuya point blank instead of bringing it up slowly." Ichigo thought to himself. Ichigo shuddered as he thought of the things Byakuya might do to him; he could hadō Ichigo's ass 6ft. under or Bankai his ass into confetti.

*outside Byakuya's quarters*

"Yo, Byakuya" Ichigo says as he opens the door to find Byakuya, "You there?"

"What is it that you want, Kurosaki?" Byakuya replies, a bit annoyed that Ichigo is bothering him.

Ichigo then says "I want to marry Rukia, but before I ask her I wanted to get your blessings first."

"Humph." Is Byakuya's only response to him.

Ichigo then asks "So what you don't like the thought of me marrying Rukia? Are you just gonna deny your little sist-." But gets cutoff by Byakuya.

He then says "Very well, I shall give you my blessings to marry Rukia." Ichigo was about to say something but gets cutoff by Byakuya again. "However," he continues "You must first defeat me in a battle."

Ichigo then responds with "I should've figured you would want a battle." "Fine, when and where are we gonna fight?"

"Now and at Sōkyoku Hill." Byakuya replies.

*At Sōkyoku Hill*

"You better not hold back Byakuya!" Ichigo exclaims.

"Very well Kurosaki, I will come at with everything I have." Byakuya states "But be warned that I will come at you with the intent to kill."

"Good." Ichigo chuckles.

Ichigo grabbed his Zanpakuto off his back and the bandages came off of it and he rested Zangetsu across his shoulders.

Ichigo waited for Byakuya to unsheathe his Zanpakuto and as soon as he got his Zanpakuto out Byakuya pointed Senbōnzakura at Ichigo. Ichigo then swung Zangetsu off his shoulder and started at a run and went after Byakuya. As he swung his sword there was a clash of metal on metal.

"You'll have to do better than that to beat me Kurosaki." Byakuya stated.

"Trust me Byakuya I have yet to even begin to show you the true extent of my powers!" Ichigo exclaimed. Ichigo then pushed Byakuya away and shouted "Hadō number 54, Haien!"

Byakuya flash-stepped out of the way with a look of shock on his face and asked "Kurosaki, when did you learn to perform hadō?"

Ichigo replies with "A lot has happened since you've last seen my abilities in a battle, I have been able to learn lots of different kidō thanks to Rukia and Captain Ukitaka."

"I see, you have done quite a bit of training since the battle with the Xcutions it appears." Byakuya responds

"Byakuya you have no idea how much stronger I've gotten since then, now enough talking, let's fight!" Ichigo exclaimed.

{Time Skip of 2 Hours}

Both of them are starting to get exhausted. Byakuya has a cut across his forehead and left cheek, a nice long slash straight down his back, and a deep gash in his right leg. Ichigo has a piece of flesh missing from his right cheek, a cut right above his left eye, a slash across his chest, and blood running down his left arm from a slash by his shoulder blade. Both have used up enough energy and taken enough damage that they should be out cold, but between Byakuya's pride and Ichigo's love for Rukia and determination to get Byakuya's blessing, they continue fighting.

"You truly have become stronger, to stand against my Bankai with just your Shikai, I am impressed Kurosaki." Byakuya states.

"Well I guess it's about time I use my Bankai then." Ichigo said with a slight chuckle. He then yells "BANKAI!", and a giant cloud of dust and smoke and the atmosphere became heavy from the spiritual pressure, "TENSA-ZANGETSU!"

"Just how powerful have you become, Kurosaki?!" Byakuya said out loud without realizing it.

"Rukia and Ukitaka aren't the only ones who helped me train; you see, even old man Yamamoto helped train me himself with Izuru using Wabisuke on Zangetsu to make him heavier so I could build my strength and speed up even further to make sure I could continue to keep Rukia safe." Ichigo responds.

"I see, I guess I have no choice," Byakuya went on to say, "Senkei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi."

Twenty minutes later Byakuya said "Gokei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi"

Ichigo responds to this by saying "This brings back memories from fighting you to rescue Rukia, so how about we use our most powerful moves to end this?"

"Very well Kurosaki, Shukei Senbon Kageyoshi" Byakuya replied.

Ichigo then put his hollow mask on and they charged full power at each other.

END FLASH BACK

Ichigo was brought back to the present when he heard someone shout "Hey, fool." He turned around to see that it was Rukia.

"Would you stop calling me that already, but anyway, happy four year anniversary. Ready for date night?" Ichigo asked.
