So new story!

PLEASE READ!

This tale will be read in first person view of whomever as it will constantly change, expect at most three view point changes in a chapter.

Also the first chapter will be in third as I want to get the story flowing so to speak. Also please note there will be Quincy characters but they will not be the "Bad guys" in fact no one in this tale is a "Bad guy" as this is fairly realistic so to speak in the sense that a story has three sides, yours mine and the truth.

No I am probably going to get some Quincy character's personalities a tad wrong so forgive me if it's so.

Also Hichigo will be here as Ichigo's baby brother. He is a large character role in here!

Also Masaki and Isshin will be a bit mean towards Ichigo in the beginning, please don't hate on me for that as it is all part of the tale. This chapter will be slightly out of a child's view, not fully but somewhat. Also Masaki and Isshin married when they were like 17 so they are young. Isshin's parents died so they aren't there. Also as far as I know (and searched, hell I went on Bleach's wiki page!) Yhwach doesn't have a surname. If you know it please tell me!

No more poll, I have figured out my story so this will be a Ichigo x Ulquiorra

On with the story!

Chapter 1: Crowning prince

Once there was three kingdoms, each a neighbour to the other, one was a land who was trapped in winter for a majority of the year, the other was to the sea side constantly blessed with sunshine and good catches, the other was to the forest, surrounded by lush green fields and wild to live off of.

The winter kingdom was sheltered to the foot of a large mountain, snow was a constant thing. Yet the country prospered to the surprise of its neighbours.

Once the kingdom of Seireitei, the kingdom of the coast went t a diplomatic visit to the kingdom of the mountain. Its name was Wandenreich. Called the invisible kingdom due to the white stones it was made out of and the white snow surrounding it throughout the winter days.

Isshin Shiba at the time crown prince of the Seireitei kingdom fell in love with Masaki Kurosaki, only daughter of King Yhwach. Masaki and Isshin fell in love during his stay under the ever vigilant eyes of the king himself. He saw that his daughter was in love.

Being his only child he allowed her to marry Isshin on one condition.

Their first borne son, would be his heir.

The two agreed more than willingly.

That would be the first mistake they ever made.

The two got married and had a strong healthy relationship. Yamamoto, Isshin's grandfather approved highly of Masaki but not the condition. The first born should go to their kingdom, not of the winter country.

Soon a baby boy was born. The condition suddenly slammed into the happy couple. Now the king wasn't such a heartless man, he wanted the child only when he was of age, which would be on his sixteenth birthday.

Both parents decided that they would not coddle the child, show the child love of a parent as they knew the boy would not remain by their side so they didn't want to get attached. This had greatly upset Yamamoto who claimed them both foolish and terrible parents.

Yhwach was more than happy silently yet slightly concerned as his spy in the castle told him all of the happenings of the castle, soon he came to greet his grandson. Masaki had taken her mother's maiden name but that didn't bother Yhwach one bit. He looked down to see a small body of a few weeks old baby. Bright orange hair was on top of the small head. Bleary brown eyes sparkled with hits of gold looked up at the large man.

An adorable smile came onto the child's lips as he reached out for the man in hopes that he would pick him up. His mother not being the one who fed him, rather a wet nurse did. Yhwach more than happily picked up his grandchild. Looking at the small child in his hands he grinned softly at the child as Ichigo, yes Ichigo his heir smiled and made cooing noises.

Curious brown eyes looked into the dark blue ones of his grandfather. Another smile and a wiggle made Yhwach laugh softly.

Yes this child will be his heir.

One year later Masaki gave birth to another boy. His skin was as pale as snow and had a birth defect of the eyes making the white an eerie black. The boy resembled his older brother so much that most thought them twins.

The two boys grew up vastly different as Hichigo was showered in the love of his parents while Ichigo was given to nannies that were more than happy to take care of the small first born, yet their hearts were heavy when they thought of the unfair treatment of the small child.

Soon three years passed and the kingdom was graced with twin princesses.

Karin and Yuzu were even more showered with love and attention. A small four year old Ichigo stood by with a quivering lip. Hichigo behind him with a small smile as he saw his new baby sisters, Ichigo just ran back to his room while Hichigo was torn between following his big brother and seeing his new sisters.

He chose his sisters.

All the while Yhwach never came to see the other three children after their birth much to the disappointment of his daughter. He however didn't care for the other children as they got more than enough attention.

Two years passed and the king came to visit his six year old grandson. The moment he sat his foot onto the cobble stone ground he was tackled by Ichigo who looked up at him with shining eyes. Yhwach saw the hunger for love and affection in those brown eyes and frowned on the inside. He was disappointed in his daughter. Yes he would be taking the child but they had him for sixteen years and he would still remain their child.

A sudden appearance of a blonde man made Ichigo look up at the taller man. His brown eyes wide with childish awe at the new man before him, he was tall but not as tall as his grandfather.

He also had pale blue eyes that looked so cold yet Ichigo could see the small tint of warmth in there, the stranger also had long hair. He looked to be in his early twenties with a white bow behind his back. He bowed before kneeling low in front of the small boy.

"Greetings young highness." The man's voice was calming to small Ichigo who blinked wide at the man before he opened his mouth and spoke. "Wow mister you have a deep voice!" the awe in his voice was adorable. Ichigo threw his hands into the air before saying. "I hope I have a deep voice when I grow up!"

Both men fought hard to keep the smiles from their faces but decided that Ichigo needed to see some smiles form the things he did. After all he was just six years old.

Yhwach kneeled down so he was more eye level with Ichigo. "Ichigo this is Haschwalth, he is going to stay here and teach you many new things." He was expecting Ichigo to be mad at the very idea of learning but Ichigo's eyes if possible began to glow even more with the sheer excitement of finally being paid attention to. He looked to Haschwalth.

"What are you going to teach me?" He asked with barely contained glee.

The blonde man smiled softly down at his prince.

"Many things milord. Archery and much of Wandenreich's history along with many other things." As he spoke Ichigo left his grandfather's side to stand before Haschwalth, a guarded look was in the small child's eyes. "Will… you…" the small child clearly had a hard time trying to ask something but before he finished he just shook his head and smiled sadly. "No… never mind." The small voice was filled with a hint of sadness that made Yhwach more annoyed with his child's lack of love given to his grandchild. He had hoped that Masaki would see the error of her way when he realised that if Ichigo didn't get love and attention from his parents he might become cold and wary of others. Now being guarded was fine as the child would soon learn that trusting someone fully could cost him his life.

Haschwalth looked to his king for guidance but the man shook his head to say leave it.

A happy laugh broke their little world as Hichigo came bounding for his big brother. Ichigo just moved to stand behind Yhwach. As he grew up Ichigo noticed the blatant favoritism his parents were doing and had started to resent his baby brother. Not because he stole their parents' time but because their parents treated Hichigo better.

Even the two year old Yuzu and Karin got better treatment.

His small heart would always feel like breaking when he saw his father goofing off with Hichigo playing tag amongst other games. Yhwach didn't say a word as he picked Ichigo up with ease. Ichigo had been growing at a steady pace showing he would be rather tall when he would be older.

As they walked to the large mansion that was given to Yhwach when he visited Hichigo watched as his big brother didn't even bother to look back only held onto their grandfather tightly. Sniffing Hichigo ran crying to his mother, upon hearing this Masaki stood up along with Isshin to speak with Yhwach.

When they reached the mansion they saw that the group was in the back showing Ichigo a smaller version of the white bow Haschwalth had on his back, Ichigo's eyes were wide with wonder as he gently ran a hand over the curved white wood long bow.

Ichigo gently placed the bow on the ground before attacking Yhwach with a fierce hug followed with tears. It didn't take a genius to figure out that Ichigo had never before received a gift of any kind. Yhwach rose with Ichigo still in his arms. Haschwalth picked up the smaller bow and looked at his prince with a small sad look in his face.

Yhwach saw Masaki, Isshin and a still crying Hichigo trying to meld himself with him. He frowned showing his displeasure of their presence. He turned and walked into the mansion showing the he didn't want to speak with his daughter and her family. Yhwach didn't see Hichigo as his grandson and he also didn't see the twins as his granddaughters.

No, the only family he had here in this salty aired place was the small boy still crying thank you's into his neck. That night Ichigo slept in the mansion. From that day Ichigo remained there even if Yhwach wasn't there. Haschwalth lived with him training him three times a day in archery and swords. He also gave the small child two sessions of an hour long of studying where he was surprised to see his prince was very curious of the country he would move to once he was of age.

Ichigo also showed a remarkable talent for archery. As the boy grew so did his skills. Haschwalth grew proud like an uncle as he saw the future of his country in safe hands.

One day when Ichigo was training by himself Haschwalth opened the door when there was a knock to it. He took in the other blonde man before him. He nodded to the man in greeting but the other man merely looked at him with an arched brow.

"I am here to see Ichigo, his highness wants to know the state of his son." This brought on a heavy frown the other blonde did not expect.

"I am under the command of my King Yhwach. If you don't tell me your name and real reason for being on these premises I will be inclined to remove you." Haschwalth didn't want to put Ichigo in harm's way if he could help it.

The other blonde raised an eyebrow at the hostile glint in the other's pale blue eyes.

The man, Urahara Kisuke, Isshin's best friend and advisor was always kind to Ichigo as he too advised Isshin not to do what he was doing but there was nothing he could do other than give the small red head child as much attention as he could when he saw him. That had been a few years ago sadly as Isshin didn't say where the child was and he had travelled many times with no stops.

He finally got his answer out of Hichigo who asked him to go see of his brother was alright. Hichigo never understood his parents' lack of attention to Ichigo as the small white skinned child loved his brother dearly. Sighing Urahara rubbed his hand over his face a few times.

"I just want to see if he is fine, I worry about the small child as much as you do. I don't agree with how his parents treat him and thus I came to care for the small prince. I haven't seen him in a while and just want to see how he's doing." The more heartfelt reason made Haschwalth nod and move to the side to allow the other blonde entrance. "Follow me." Haschwalth spoke and walked to the garden in the back where Ichigo was busy. Just as they entered the back garden an arrow shot through the air with a light whistle noise before a dull 'thunk' noise followed. Pale blue eyes looked to the circle where the small boy was aiming only to stare in surprise.

The outer rings of the target were riddled with holes of Ichigo's not so good shots. As the years when on Ichigo got closer and closer to the middle of the target.

Until now. Three arrows stood out from the middle of the target. Looking at the blonde beside him Haschwalth had to fight the urge to smirk at the dumbfounded look on the other blonde's face.

"Well done milord." Haschwalth spoke getting the attention of Ichigo.

The now ten year old was vastly different from the six year old Urahara had last seen. Orange hair was longer making Urahara wonder if the boy wanted to grow it out longer. The chubby cheeks where slowly starting to lose their fullness as Ichigo got older, he was even taller than Urahara had guessed him to be at the age of ten.

The boy was dressed in white, loose pants and shirt made for boys who were still wild and reckless yet Ichigo's white clothes remained spotless. Not even a grass stain. The moment grey eyes met brown a small smile came up onto Ichigo's lips. Being around the ever calm Haschwalth had mellowed Ichigo out a lot, he surprisingly had a very short temper about certain things but otherwise the child would keep his cool.

Ichigo had also sadly grown rather detached to the world he was living in, he had no love for Seireitei, his parents were just his sire and carrier, his brother and sisters were just blood related humans he could hardly remember anymore. The man before him though he remembered because he was one of the few people he saw who gave him the attention he craved. Ichigo was never taken with to the fairs and other public events of the country. No one beyond the walls of the castle had ever laid eyes on the prince. Those who worked at the castle would always gush about how adorable the little prince was and how sweet he was.

The country wanted to see its first born prince but that never happened and never would as Ichigo didn't want to anymore. They were just people of a kingdom he didn't belong in. He was practically counting down the days till his sixteenth birthday.

Urahara looked into the satchel bag resting on his hip, he dug around a bit getting an amused smirk from Ichigo. He made a triumphant noise and bent down to hand the small black leather covered book to the small prince. Ichigo placed the bow over his shoulder with the string resting over his chest.

Ichigo looked at the small leather bound book. He opened it to see empty pages. Looking up curiously into the grey eyes he waited for an explanation. Another thing he had gained from living with Haschwalth, he grew to have more patience than any other ten year old.

He was after all being trained for his day when he would arrive at the winter palace.

"It's a journal for you to write in, think of it as a way to get your thoughts right after a long day." Ichigo nodded Urahara spoke and looked down at the book with a curious light in his eyes. He looked up and smiled at Urahara.

"Thank you Kisuke." He said politely as any older prince would have but not a ten year old.

A frown inwardly and a smile outwardly Urahara was guided to the library where the three sat and had tea while speaking of all sorts of things the blonde had seen on his travels.

Soon the blonde had to leave.

Another year later Ichigo was summoned to the yearly ball by Yhwach himself as he would be attending for the first time, he wanted to see how far Ichigo had come. Haschwalth would be there too, as would every other noble in Seireitei.

Ichigo was donning a white silk tunic as he was still a little too small for more formal clothes, a nice fitting pants and black leather booths that Yhwach had made personally by a shoe maker that came one day from the winter palace.

The rest of his outfit was white with blue trimmings.

Now standing in the ballroom to the one corner watching all that was happening around him with almost bored like eyes Yhwach arrived and instantly spotted Ichigo by his bright hair. He was pleased at the rate the boy was growing, Haschwalth had informed him of the talented proceedings of Archery and swordplay.

Moving to the eleven year old he got all of the room's attention. Masaki and Isshin were shocked when they finally spotted Ichigo. The small near teen looked up at his grandfather with a true grin showing the love he had for the man before him. Yhwach looked at Ichigo with his longer hair. It was now past the boy's shoulders and looked rather shaggy yet it suited Ichigo well.

With his grandfather at his side Ichigo felt a little better. However with the man now beside him he had most of the nobles' attention. They were all staring at him with looks of awe. Here was the elusive first born of their country. Hichigo wearing a similar outfit only glad in the country's colour which was red, upon seeing his big brother could not hold it in any longer and ran to his bigger brother. He softly yelled his name before hugging his brother.

Ichigo who had now grown more knew if he were to shove his brother off like he wanted to there would be drama that he didn't want. He didn't return the hug though or smiled, in fact his smile dropped the moment Hichigo yelled his name. The nobles and his parents along with his baby sisters who barely recognised him watched as the child's eyes grow hard. He gently got his brother to release him before moving with his grandfather to stand before his parents who were sitting on their thrones, three chairs where on the sides, two next to Masaki while one was next to Isshin. Hichigo slowly took his seat next to his father and looked down from the platform, his eyes looked to Ichigo's in hopes of getting his big brother's attention but alas the red head was looking in front of him at his father with slightly unseeing eyes. Yhwach got a smug feeling inside as he saw Isshin flinch a bit.

The little prince then did what no one expected besides the two men at his side. He bowed at the royals in front of him as if he was a stranger meeting them for the first time. Yhwach nodded to his daughter, her husband and the other three kids before ushering Ichigo into moving on.

Now clear to mingle the other young ones came closer. A small girl with dark indigo eyes and shoulder length black hair with a lock between her eyes followed by a pale boy a few years older who also had black hair that was just pass his shoulders and dark eyes only his were a grey. Ichigo regarded both warily, the look was odd on an eleven year old's face.

The boy older by a few years spoke first. He bowed at the waist as their tradition and nudged the smaller girl to do the same, she was two years or so younger than Ichigo so she didn't fully understand.

"Greetings your highness." The boy spoke, his voice yet not broken so it had a childlike edge to it.

Ichigo nodded and gave a soft smile that made both noble children ease up. Soon a more children followed by their parents came to greet the young prince. Yhwach and Haschwalth watched with pride as Ichigo handled them all with ease of any older prince. It seemed Haschwalth was a good influence on Ichigo after all.

Hichigo watched his big brother talk and interact with the other kids and became angry; when he got angry he got stupid. He stood and ran towards his brother; Ichigo who was looking out the window didn't see his baby brother coming towards him. Hichigo forgot the floor was slippery.

He tried to stop but failed to do so in time and slammed into Ichigo who in turn went thought the window, there were multiple cries of shock. Yhwach was now boiling with anger. He walked past Hichigo shoving lightly with his leg; he kicked the window's last bits off so he could move through it. No one made a peep as Yhwach and Haschwalth kneeled before a silently crying Ichigo, he wasn't crying because he was shoved though the window no, he was crying because a shard of glass went into his right eye. Not deep enough to be fetal but more than enough for both men to know that Ichigo would never see out of the eye ever again.

The cries of Ichigo began to rise in volume as the pain started to settle in. Yhwach stood scooping Ichigo into his arms; he glared down at the young Hichigo. "I am glad this vile place will have you for a king. It is what it deserves." And with that he carried Ichigo out of the room. Haschwalth followed after knowing well enough where they were going. None of them listened to the cries of Masaki, Isshin or Hichigo for them to stop.

They went to see the only doctor Yhwach trusted, Ryūken Ishida. The white haired male gave the poor boy one look and ushered his true king inside. Uryuu watched with large eyes as his prince bled from the shard lodged in his eye. The poor boy the same age as his future king was helped his father when he asked for it and the eye was checked for broken pieces and such. It was given a healing salve in hopes of fighting infections. The boy's head was wrapped in bandages.

"Haschwalth, pack his things. Tonight I am taking my heir and grandson away from this vile place. Ryūken, pack your things as well. We are all leaving." Yhwach's no nonsense tone made all jump into action. The large man picked up the now sleeping Ichigo and moved to sit next to Uryuu who was looking at his prince and cousin.

"Is he going to be alright, your highness?" the smaller boy asked voice heavy with concern only a child could ever have. The man with long black hair and well trimmed muttonchops looked down at his sleeping grandson. Ryūken had done a brilliant job as always and the healing plants he used would practically guarantee that Ichigo wouldn't get an infection but the eye was a lost as he expected. His grip tightened on the boy making him murmur something and snuggle closer to what he smelt was his grandfather.

"Yes he will, your future king is strong in will." That made the small raven haired boy smile slightly then look back at Ichigo. He stood and decided to help his father pack. He couldn't wait till he saw his mother! He missed her so!

Once all was packed two carriages rolled up. The luggage was packed onto the roof and secured with rope, the men and two boys one sleeping one nearly sleeping as it was far past his bed time got in and in the dead of night rode off just before a carriage of the royal family rolled up at the mansion where Ichigo had lived.

Only to find it empty of personal belongings and clothes. Just the furniture it came with.

The first born of Seireitei was no longer their prince.

He now belonged to Wandenreich.

Hichigo cried himself to sleep many nights after that and lost most of the noble's respect.

As the years went by he promised himself that he would one day get his brother back to the kingdom where he belonged. He wasn't Wandenreich's prince! He was Serenitie's!

Back at Wandenreich Ichigo adjusted well, when his eye wound healed he was given a black leather eye patch with the royal family's crest on it, a five pointed star with a few rings going through it. Once that was done he was back to training, he was taught how to compensate for his new blind spot. Although now Ichigo was constantly frowning for what seemed like no reason at all.

Uryuu was often his guard as he would remain. He was Ichigo's personal guard but it was quickly gathered that he barely needed it as the kingdom of Wandenreich was in love with their new prince much to Yhwach's pleasure.

Ichigo grew up with the affection and love he had craved since he was a small child. Now having the support he always needed Ichigo grew into a fine young man. Standing at an impressive six foot two much like his tall grandfather he also grew his hair long till it reached his waist but decided to grow it longer than that. It now sat at his hips.

His lone brown eye was a beautiful shade of caramel with hints of gold. With a sharp jaw line and nose Ichigo was the perfect royal all for the lost eye that made many harbor a great hatred for Seireitei, neither Ichigo or Yhwach made move to lessen this. If any other kingdom were dumb enough to fight Wandenreich they would feel the wrath of the country. Wandenreich was known for its massive armies and strategies that made the other armies mere pawns to be smashed into pieces.

Yhwach had made it his goal to impart his brilliance for strategies into his heir.

He need not have feared as Ichigo took to it like fire to a dried out field of grass. They two would spend hours staring at a map going through different scenarios and strategies before Haschwalth had to step in and remind the two that they needed food and sleep. It was their bonding activity along with archery that Ichigo remained good at even with the loss of his eye.

The kingdom of Wandenreich didn't demand that their king wed and have a child. The king had a harem of women(and men sometimes) to fulfill the need and produce an heir through those means. Yhwach had Masaki at a very young age and decided that her child would be his heir as he had a long while to live before leaving the world unless he died by other means.

Now Ichigo was slowly building a Harem of his own. He knew one day one of these women would carry his child but he had no interest in the woman body other than that. He preferred the male company, he liked to dominate his partner but in a non degrading manner that didn't leave them feeling worthless afterwards.

His harem was however filled with women and men he hardly touched as he had saved them all in some sort of way.

One rule Ichigo stood by was the rule against brothels that forced their workers. Each brother was listed and visited weekly to check up on them. When an unregistered brother was discovered… the consequences were bad. The workers however were taken in and helped find their way back home or to rebuild a new life.

Ichigo found that he actually like the harsh winters along with his new found people. He didn't mind the stinging bite of the wind, he liked the crunch of snow under his boot and the pure look the landscape got after a night of snowfall.

On Ichigo's eighteenth birthday the kingdom of Seireitei declared war upon Wandenreich, they claimed that Ichigo was not their prince and was to be given back. Or else. Both royals merely laughed while Haschwalth stood by and commented that they were foolish along with that Masaki who must have forgotten the prowess of her father's abilities.

Ichigo scoffed and nodded. He looked to the lit ballroom where nobles of Wandenreich danced his birthday away. This was his home and he wasn't leaving any time soon.

They sent a message back that they were welcome to try and take Ichigo back by force, however Ichigo didn't want to return to the place that had no meaning to him.

And thus the war began.

Right… um I hope this is good enough…
