Chapter 1- The wish comes true

Disclaimer- you know the drill, except the plot and anything which is not present in the original series, everything belongs to the GREAT KUBO TITE

After the winter war was over & he had lost his powers, Ichigo had nothing to do his life was back to normal. He had devoted himself in the business of soul society in the past; it never occurred to him what he will do when that was all over. Thinking alone time was hard to pass. If nothing he was at least peaceful. That day he was spending his time near his mother's grave. It was her first death anniversary after the winter war.

He sat there alone overcome by guilt while his father has gone (god knows where) taking Yuzu & Karin. Since he was alone he let his emotions loose & was sobbing kept telling himself he was responsible for his mothers death. It had been 10 yrs since the death of his mother but still he could forgive himself. His family never held him responsible for that, which made his suffering worse. It would have been better if they blame him. at least it could made his suffering easier. He kept telling himself it would have been better if grand fisher had killed him OR better if he would not have existed in the first place. He kept self loathing until his father called him (using his special whistle). He wiped his face; he cannot let others see this part of him.

The entity continued to stare at him until he left.

The next thing Ichigo knew was he was lying on the grass. What the hell...where am i? He wondered while scanning the area. He was laying near river side the same place where the hollow had killed his mother. He couldn't understand how he got there on the first place. He remembered last time he was lying on his bed. His body felt so light & strange. He noticed passerbies were looking at him with horror in their eyes. When he looked down "shit...why am I naked". He ran to find some cover until he heard the sound of a lady "there officer, the boy was lying naked here. He had orange hair.""Shit shit what could be possibly worse, oh god where are u when I truly need you." but he had to rethink yes things could get worse as under the bridge he found oshima drinking.

"Have you seen a naked man with orange hair" the officer asked. "Yes he passed out under the bridge right there." he pointed. "Thank you" the officer said running there. "Well that went well" thought Ichigo.

Flashback

"Shit shit shit...I am naked, an officer is behind me, and now chicken head. He always wants to fight me for the color of our hair being same. Wait...The officer is after a naked orange haired man. If...I should better hurry" He immediately knocked him out & then took his clothes. He would have felt bad for him if he had not got Ichigo detention last week for starting an unnecessary fight. Yes it will settle his score against him. It all happened in an instant. Ichigo wondered what miracles human brain could do when its ass is about to get cut.

End of Flashback

Ichigo walked uncomfortably. Those clothes didn't fit him but he didn't had much of a choice. Now when he was out of trouble he moved to his next question how he got there naked. If beardo has something to do with it he will have to pay. He continued to move towards his house when he heard sounds of fighting. When he approached to the place from where sounds came he saw yoko chins gang beating chad senselessly while yoko chin stand there as an spectator.

"What the fuck...who are you?"Gasped yoko as Ichigo hit him.

"Who am I? Maybe you still have the impact from last time when I cracked your skull"

"Cracked my skull? Last time? Who are you?"

"If one hit can cause the loss of memory then maybe the other hit may help you to regain it" said Ichigo while planting his kick over his head.

"Hey how dare you hit yoko-chin sama? Now pay for it" yelled yoko chins gang charging at him.

After some time he went to Chad to help him get up."Hey Chad are you okay? I know you promised your abuelo to not to raise your hand on others but at least you should defend yourself if not hit them."

"Thanks mister for your help but do i know you? How do you know my name and about my promise to my abuelo?"

"Chad I think you should have probably hit your head. It's me Ichigo."

"..."

"Now it's pissing me off."

"Thanks again mister. But I am okay now. I live nearby so please don't bother yourself."

"-Kay" was all he could say.

He tried to comprehend what just happened about Chad no recognizing him. He saw Orihime standing on the other side of the signal. Maybe something about the day is good. After the winter war was over, she had expressed her feelings towards him &proposed. He was caught off guard but he accepted with a sigh & a deep passionate kiss (along with some oooo's in the class and a deep kick in gut from Chizuru and life threatening threat from Tatsuki and….. you got the flow, don't you?). He waved his hand & called out her name but she ignored. Maybe she can't hear me because of the traffic he thought. He waited for the signal to turn red but was shocked what happened next.

Inoue was caught from behind & was kissed.

Luckily the traffic stopped & he ran to kick Ishida.

"Hey man what's your problem?" said Ishida irritated because being interrupted.

"Hey that's my question. Why are you kissing my girlfriend?" growled Ichigo.

"Your girlfriend? What are you talking about? She is my girlfriend. Who the hell are you?" growled Ishida balling his fist.

"Please Ishida-kun don't fight. I don't want you to fight with some stranger for me. Please let's go." Inoue tried to calm down Ishida. Ichigo was taken aback by the word stranger. It was like a cold dagger stabbing his heart.

"Stranger? It's me Inoue, Ichigo. Don't you remember?" she looked at him with a questioning look.

"Maybe he was kidnapped by aliens and they had altered his memory by doing experiments on him maybe he has some special abilities." She turned to face Ichigo "Do you have special abilities like laser eyes, missile fingers oh, oh or rocket propelled legs. And and-" her enthusiastic questions were cut by Ishida.

"No she doesn't even know you let alone remember, Punk. Let's go Inoue." He walked away with her. Ichigo remained there staring at the blank space. He wanted to curse them but couldn't find words strong enough to express his anger. Nothing came to his mind. Nothing. He tried to figure out what was going around. First Chad, now Inoue & Ishida. What had gone into his friends all of a sudden? The day was strange. Maybe it's just a dream. No. It's too strange to be a dream.

He continued his way towards his home not knowing what to expect next. He continued to think for the reason & only thing came to his mind was hats-n-clogs i am sure he has something to do with this if not he hoped at least he could explain the happenings. I better get home fast. These clothes are such a mess. After that I will pay him my visit he thought as he approached the door of his house. Oh yes... I don't have the keys. He frowned while ringing the bell.

"Coming" came a voice he had never expected in his wildest dream. He was shocked. That voice...How is it possible? But it...how...?

"Don't strain yourself love. I will open the door" came Isshin's voice.

"Yes? What do you want?" asked Isshin cocking his head out of the door in an I-am-busy-right-now-so-tell-me-your-business-and-get-lost tone.

"WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN? I WANT TO GET INSIDE THE HOUSE" yelled Ichigo.

"For what purpose?" said Isshin without changing the tone.

"DAMMIT. WHY WOULD YOU SON WANT TO GET INSIDE HIS HOUSE? I AM TOO MUCH FRUSTRATED SO MOVE ASIDE BEFORE I KICK YOU'RE ASS."

"WAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN YOU BEARDO?" yelled Karin planting her foot on her father's face. At last someone to-.

"HOW COME THIS MAN IS CALLING YOU FATHER? WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM? HOW DARE YOU CHEAT OUR MOTHER?" she continued while kicking him. Did I think too fast?

"Don't worry mom. I know father is crack but he will never cheat on you. He will never get that chance. I am sure there is some misunderstanding" Yuzu tried to console her shocked mother.

Ichigo was shocked. Her mother was standing there he don't know how to react. same face, same blonde hair falling behind her back, same features, same warmth radiating from her. He could never forget that feeling which he felt by seeing her. It never changed. The absence of such feeling had haunted him for so many years. Now the feeling was back. A smile spread on his face, tears flowing down his eyes. "mom" he managed to say but...

"Do I know you?" his mother asked while sending a questioning look.

He was shocked not her too "Mom it's me Ichigo. Your son." he managed to say.

"My son? I am sure there is some misunderstanding. I don't have any son only two daughters" she said.

"No there is no misunderstanding. I am you son Ichigo, kurosaki Ichigo, and you are my mother Masaki kurosaki" Ichigo shook his head while advancing towards his mother.

"Stay away from our mother, punk." Karin shot.

"Karin its me Ichigo, you brother"

"Nice attempt punk but I have no brother. Now get out of the house before I call the cops" Karin shot. Ichigo was shocked his sister threatening him.

"Please Karin, calm down. I am sure this man has lost his family and is trying to ease his pain by imagining us his family. His mind is just disturbed." Masaki tried to calm down Karin sending an understanding look at Ichigo.

"But..." Karin protested.

"Honey you should understand how it is to loose ones family." Masaki said.

"I am not disturbed" Ichigo shot. "Yes you are. If you are not then why would you call other's family your family?" Isshin said while getting on his feet. "Yuzu call city hospital. Tell them we have a mental patient. So send an ambulance immediately while i try to catch him. It's not safe for us to let him roam freely." Isshin grinned.

Fuck. Now I am officially pissed. They are sending him to mental asylum. They will never believe me. I should get away from here and meet with Urahara and hope he will help. If I get caught i will never be able to figure out what's going on. I better run. He made a dash & continued to run until he was far enough from his house & stopped only after he was sure no one was following him. All this doesn't make any sense. Nobody recognized him. They acted as if he was never there in their life and only showed up today. It was as if he never existed. Existed? This word caught his mind. He had wished for it. Although it sounded ridiculous but it was true. His wish was granted. His mother was alive because he never there in her life. He didn't know how he should take the news. Be happy because his mother was alive and his family was complete or be sad because they longer remembered him.

Happy to see your mother alive? The question came to his mind as if someone was talking to him through telepathy.

"Who is there?" he asked scanning his surroundings.

Anentity came in view. He had silver hair simply parted across his face. He was young. Probably between 20 to 25. His face was well built as if a gifted hand has craved the face. He was wearing a white hakama with dragon like designs all over it, Along with similarly designed haori. Although it was simple but still had charm in it. The entity seemed to emit a certain aura. Ichigo's instincts were telling him to run but the aura around him made him feel relaxed. It was odd. It seemed as if he could not find slightest reason for being angry. He felt nothing but relaxed. He somehow managed to regain his composure and asked.

"Who are you?"
