A new beginning

darkness was all he could see his spiky strawberry blond hair matted to his forhead by a red substance he could only describe as "blood" he muttered as his senses were ambushed. The smell of smoke, the taste of blood, the sound of cracking wood, the feeling of large smoldering wooden beams scorching his back while also preventing him from standing.

Earlier

Trying to stay conscious while also remembering what had happened to get him in this situation. He remembered screams blood curdling screms coming from men all over. and women begging with tears streaming down their eyes. he remembered being in a battle the clang of metal against metal. the feeling of weakness in his legs and arms from fighting for so long. as he blocked a swing headed towards his left arm he blocked it feeling the strength of the attack full force but was able to push the sword back with a swing of his hand he brought down his sword to his opponents right shoulder blade earning him a loud scream "AAAAHHHHHH" the strawberry blond swordsman falling to his knees with a light gasp for air. his opponent while on the ground nearing deaths cold embrace said "fu-fuck you you piece of shit huh-huh-huh your whole clan will huh-huh die here to...day"

"PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU DONT KILL THEM SPARE MY CHILDREN TAKE ME INSTEAD"He heard a woman beg for her childrens life while holding them tightly against her chest. trying to quickly get to his feet to help the pleading woman he heard the man say "such a pity i would have loved to have a slave as hot as you but orders are orders NOW DIE YOU WHORE" ignoring the exhaustion from his body standing up like he was possessed sprinting to the man he plunged his blade into the back of the man hitting his heart but was to late as he heard the dying screms of the woman and the gasps of breath from the man he plunged his blade into. noticing the mans lifeless body beginning to fall he pushes the man to the side preventing him from falling on the recently deceased family. with no time to think the swordsman sprints as hard as his exhausted body would allow thinking "PLEASE BE ALRIGHT" over and over in desperation believing the more he said this the more it would come true.

passing many burned house he could see blood sprayed on the ground. bodies all over some from his clan some from the invaders some were dismembered some burned the smell alone could kill but the swordsman kept his head straight still sprinting full speed untill he stumbles to a shaky stop in front of a building staring up at the large structure that have could housed five people but now just a monumental inferno. even with his face coverd in dirt,sweat and blood you could still see the terrified look on his face. "NOOOO!" he screamed as it echoed through the once great clan. without thinking he ran into the house stepping on a smoldering sign that previously said kurosaki resadince.

as he entered the flaming inferno looking around desperately. "son" he heard his father call him. snapping his head to the right he saw his saw his father strapped under large beams along with two small girls. he takes off towards them calling thier names "Karin,yuzu,dad!" trying anything to get a response from his family with the wood cracking under his weight with each step. eight feet away he plants his left foot firmly on the ground readying for another lunge forward crack... the wood under his foot gave out sending him flying forward. pulling his arms up to his face to brace the fall he lands on the floor cracking the the burt wood sending brightly colored embers to the sky.

the swordsman struggles to get back to his feet. while on one knee he tries to catch his breath but the simmering heat from inside the house felt like it was burning his lungs. crack...crack... he looks up to see two support beams slowly getting closer. he panics quickly trying to get away by pushing off his one foot. snap the beams gave way and fell on his back burning him severely. he wanted to scream. screm in anger screm in pain even fear. but his voice caught in his throat due to the smothering heat the and the weight that felt like it was keeping him from breathing. finaly giving in to his bodys exhaustion he blacked out with tears in his eyes whispering an apology "im so sorry i let you guy down".

Present

Snapping his eyes open at the memories he pushed his hands against the charred floor still hot enough to burn from the slightest touch. but the swordsman ignored the pain only thinking about his family. "AAAAHHHHHH!" with a loud grunt he forced the charred beams off his back. he clumsily got back to his feet. he began walking to where he last heard his father call him. with each step almost ending in a fall. he made it to the group of people huddled together in a corner there forms stuck in place due to their skin being charred. the swordsman fell to his knees once more tears streaming down his face and the look of agonizing pain on his face. in front of him sits his father holding his two sisters to his chest trying to shield them from the pain.

Wiping the tears from his eyes the look of pain transforms to pure rage. as he walks out of the smoldering building he once called home. he is surrounded by men holding spears and katana. a man trotted in front of his view on a great horse coverd in black and gold armor his horse was also coverd in the same armor. to his right the swordsman heard a man with high pitched voice say "lord nobunaga what do we do with this one must be a survivor" clearly a rookie to battle the swordsman didn't bother sparing a glance at the rookie. no he kept his angry gaze towards the man know as oda nobunaga. nobunaga was the one responsible the cause of his clan death the one responsible for his families death. he knew of this mans actions and reasoning for them. this is the man that said he was going to unite all of japan and any who ignored or disobeyed him would suffer.

his clan thought they would not have to worry about wraith of nobunaga since they were a small clan. also because he was the only swordsman if you would say but that still was more of a hobby most of his time was spent working at his fathers

clinic helping the sick or the farmers that got injured will working. but they refused to work with nobunga due to him a crazed man who started war just for someone saying no to him like a spoiled child. their clan was a small farming group many years ago they were known as the strongest warrior clan but with the years of peace they stopped fighting because it was not profitable. so they moved to farming and in doing so sufferd the fury of a powerful man "HA HA HA" catching the swordsman off gaurd he stared wide eyed at nobunaga his fury growing out of control "how can this sick basterd laugh at this!" "you son of a bitch!" drawing his sword half out it sheath before the men surrounding him drew closer the men with katanas held their blade at his throat and he could feel the men with spears poking his back and abdomen lightly as a warning. "thats no way to speak to your superiors" nobunaga said with a half amused look on his face.

the swordsman said with an angry tone not caring about the blades pointed at him "you do this sick shit to much of a cowed to fight in the battles you start then march up on your high fucking horse and laugh!" with a smile still on his face he looked at swordsman "i laugh because the once great shiba clan turned to lowly farmers and in all this carnage a true shiba survives... what is your name swordsman?" the swordsman looks at him wide eyed at the statement but regains his composer quickly feeling a katana shaking at his throat he look nobunaga dead in the eye "fuck you" and spit at the ground in front of him. "you insolent little brat" the man with the shakey sword said in his high pitched voice a he tackled him to the ground. while on top of the swordsman he held his blade to his throat "you will answer when lord nobunaga questions you" the swordsman was shocked but not because of the man tackling him or what he said no. what shocked him was the look in the mans eyes they were pleading him to answer almost like he would end up dead if he did not answer nobunaga. with a sigh escaping his lips he said "my name is ichigo kurosaki" nobunaga smiled greatly at his name "ha ha ha such a great name for a shiba i look forward to using your skills in combat" before ichigo could respond to the clear demand of his skill instead of asking he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head and feel in to blackness once more.

"lord nobunaga are you sure this is a good idea what if he tries an attempt at your life?" the voice of one of his men said while keeping pace with nobunaga's horse "ha ha ha id be worried if he didn't a true shiba will fight till they die. the trick is to get them to fight for you" his smile still on his face as they marched to the exit of the clan ignoring the burned buildings and blood sprayed everywhere "how will you get him to fight for lord nobunaga you killed his family?" the man said confused the gaining the attention of the rest of the small escorts attention. such a question could stop even the best strategist plan but not nobunaga he simply looked back at the man named ichigo kurosaki with a smile still on his face "the shiba are like dogs you beat them enough and they obey... we will witnesse the rebirth of the shiba clan yet"

at the back of the escort was the man that tackled ichigo to the ground will carrying the unconscious boy in a wagon he over heard nobunaga talking to his men "the shiba are like dogs you beat them enough and they obey" he looked back at the boy he was carrying with sad and guilty eyes "im going to end this but i need your help ichigo kurosaki"
