Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I don't own bleach.
Author Note: Ichigo and Toushiro pairing. I plan to have this chapter up before the prequel but it didn't happen. This be a short chapter.
A figure stood on top of a telephone pole. The figure had snow white hair with a few spikes and bangs covering half of his left eye to hid his scar, his turquoise eyes look over the town, and his petite body having many mistaken him for a child. He wore a black shihakusho that had some tears in it and make shift bandages and a green slash with star like clip holding a zanpakuto. Toushiro Ichimaru was his name. "I feel a strong spiritual pressure." Toushiro said feeling more Hollows showing up. He left the pole to find them.
Somewhere else
A spiky orange hair boy, who was fairly tall, lean-built with peach skin, and brown eyes; he was wearing a gray school uniform. He processed to kick an another teen off his skate board. "What is this…? You kick Yamo down a now you tell us to get outta your way?!" another in a white beanie said. "Uhh…" spiky orange hair boy said rubbing the back of his head. "Say something, damn you…!" he moves to punch him only to get kick in the face by Ichigo Kurosaki. He went down hard and Ichigo stomp on him.
"Oh, Toshirin's…" one of the others said. "This is bad!" an another with long hair said. "He's so unreasonable!"
"Shut up, will ya?!" Ichigo shouted. "Listen, all of you…Look at that!" he pointed to a vase of flowers on its side. "First question: What can that be? You, in the middle!" Ichigo called. "Huh…? Uh, well…flowers for the kid who died here the other day?" he answers the question and suddenly Ichigo kick him in the face. "ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Then tell me…Why is that vase on its side?"
"Well we were skateboarding and knocked…it over." One of them said. Ichigo kick both them hard in the face. "If you ever do it again. I'll make it so someone will have to offer flowers for your souls, TOO!" Ichigo yell at them. They scream and took off running. "Whew, if I put that much fear into them they probably won't be back." He turns around and a spirit of a little girl in pigtails stood by the pole. "I'll bring you some fresh flowers tomorrow."
"Thank you for getting rid of them. Now I should be able to rest in peace." She said. Ichigo walk over and pick up the vase and set it up right. "Your welcome. It's about time you passed over." He waves as he left to go home. "I'm home."
"Your late!" a male voice yelled kicking Ichigo in the face. "YOU DELINQUENT! You know that dinner time here is ALWAYS AT SEVEN!"
"YOU! Is this any way to treat your son, who just laid his life on the line to help a ghost pass over?!" Ichigo yell at his father. Isshin yelled back "SHUT UP! I don't care what your excuse is. Anyone who disturbs the peace and happiness in this home will be punished!" Both father and son started hitting each other and argue. Twin sisters Karin who had black hair and Yuzu who had honey color hair watch them while continue eating their dinner. "Stop it, will you two? Dinner's getting cold." Yuzu called but Karin replied "Leave them alone, Yuzu. More rice please."
"But, Karin." Ichigo mange to knock his father away. "Anyway. Ordering a healthy male high school student to come home every night at seven is- "
"Ichigo, you have a new one on you." Karin called. Ichigo got upset over it the ghost that showed up. Yuzu stated she wish she can see ghost but Karin said she didn't believe in sprits even though she could see them. "Dinner." Started Ichigo for only Isshin to knock him over and put him in an arm lock. "Wide open." Ichigo got him off and said he was going to his room. Yuzu start to protest and Kurian blame their father who played innocent. Ichigo laid on his bed thinking when a black butterfly with a pink secondary color enter the room with Toushiro landing on Ichigo's desk. "Who are you?" Ichigo ask but Toushiro didn't answer him like he didn't hear him.
Ichigo saw the bloody make shift bandage on the stranger's side and legs. "Your hurt. Do you need help?" Ichigo tried but again the white hair boy didn't answer. Suddenly Toushiro move his hand to his zanpakuto making Ichigo move away on his bed. "Who are you?! What do you want?" Ichigo question him. Toushiro move off the desk onto the floor looking around his ability to sense hollows has gone fuzzy making it harder to located it.
"They're near." He whispers suddenly he felt a sharp kick to his back. He was surprise he was knock over he turns his head to see an orange hair boy staring at him. "What are you talking about?! First you scare the living daylights out of me, then you ignore me? Usual I wouldn't hurt an injure person but I'm asking you who you are!" Ichigo yell at him. "Y-You…You just kicked me. Wait that means you can see me." Said Toushiro in surprise and a little bit of anger. This human actually kicked him a high rank officer down like that.
"Huh? What are you babbling about? Of course, I can see you." He said a little irritable. Toushiro got up and went to grab Ichigo face to look closely at it. "Strange. People usually can't see me. You must have high spiritual pressure." Ichigo knock Toushiro hand away from his face. "Quit talking nonsense." Ichigo move to kick him away only to have Toushiro to jump on Ichigo head and knock him down like it was nothing. "Why, you!"
"Then, I will tell you. I'm a Shinigami." Toushiro said. Toushiro and Ichigo sat down with Toushiro explaining what he does a little. "I see. So you're a Shinigami and you've come all the way here from this Soul Society place in order to kill Hollows. Okay, I'll believe you…WHEN PIGS FLY!" Ichigo yell flipping the small table over causing Toushiro to stare at him like he was crazy. "You're saying that, although you see ghosts and you don't believe in Shinigami."
"Of course. Unfortunately, I've never seen a Shinigami before. I don't believe in anything that I can't see."
"With your logic since you can see me you believe." Standing up as well since Ichigo remain standing. "I'll admit that you're not human. But quit playing this Shinigami around here. Got that? You kid." Ichigo said ruffling Toushiro hair. Toushiro face showed irritation when usually he be calm but this teenager made Toushiro feel more open about his emotions and right now he was mad. "You dare to call me that?! Bakudo #1: Sai!" Toushiro said a simple Kido spell for anyway. Ichigo suddenly felt like there was an invisible rope tying him up very tightly making him fall down.
"Ouch! What did you do to me?!" Ichigo called out. "You can't move, can you? This is Kido, a high-level incantation that only Shinigami can use. I may look it, but I have lived nearly 5 times longer than you. And you called me a kid. Also" Ichigo struggle against the bonds. Toushiro remove his zanpakuto, Ichigo felt fear at the sight thinking he was going to die he close his eyes only to hear a groan next to him. The spirit from earlier begging not to go but Toushiro told him he was going to someplace wonderful.
A black butterfly appeared than took off. Ichigo question what happen and Toushiro explain it was a Konso for the spirit to go to the Soul Society. "Now listen." Toushiro explain more thoroughly. He explains how the Konso works and the different types of spirits. He also explains the different types of hollows as well. As Toushiro was explaining Ichigo eyes widen at a horrible cry filed the air. "Oh! What was that?!"
"Whatever the case, there's more wondering around here."
"Then, hurry up and get rid of them!" Ichigo yell at him to go find them. Toushiro look down his sense where still fuzzy and he was unsure what the cause could be. "No, well. For some reason, I haven't been able to sense their presence that well. It's as though some strong force is blurring my senses."
"What are you saying?! Can't you hear the terrible cries?! Isn't that the hollow you're after?" Toushiro look at him confuse. "Terrible cries? I don't…" then he heard the cry he got up and move to follow it. "Hey what you're still hurt." Ichigo said trying to get up. Toushiro ignore him. A scream and crash was heard downstairs Toushiro move to the door opening it. He felt three strong spiritual pressure. 'How could I not sensed this?!'
"Ichi…go…" a girl voice said. Toushiro turn to see a honey color girl fall down in front of Ichigo room explaining their father was hurt and Karin was taken. She passed out after and Toushiro saw her soul was still there and move to help the others. Toushiro saw a man in the hallway. 'Cap-captain!' he thought and he went over to see if he was alright. Isshin was hurt but alive and soul intact. He procced to the hollows to see three of them and one holding a little girl. 'Okay this be quick.' Before he could attack Ichigo came flying down the stairs. Ichigo moves his head to see his sister in a hollow's hand. "STAY BACK!" Toushiro yelled. Ichigo ignore him and stood up surprising Toushiro. "Damn it!"
"You'll get in the way! Stay back!" Toushiro yelled once again he was about knock this boy down. "SHUT UP!" Ichigo yelled, he tried to break the Kido spell. "Stop that! No human strength can break it. I said stop, continue and your soul will…" Toushiro couldn't believe what he was seeing his human was breaking the spell. Once broken Ichigo grab a chair and ran up to the hollow that had his sister only to be knock down. Toushiro jump in cutting the hollow's arm off with Ichigo catching his sister and attacking the Hollows. One was smart to move in-between space while the others were killed by Toushiro. He leaned against a pole his wounds reopen and he was losing lots of blood. He moves over to see if the siblings were alright. Suddenly the last Hollow appear in front of the siblings and attack. Toushiro move quickly to protect them getting his right shoulder bitten badly.
"Damn to shallow." Toushiro calmly said as the Hollow yelled in pain stumbling back. Toushiro fell no longer able to stand up from blood lost. Toushiro look at Ichigo explaining that the soul they were seeking was his. Ichigo started to look guilty and blaming himself. Toushiro asks Ichigo if he wanted to save his family since Toushiro can no longer fight. Ichigo nodded his head he will do anything.
"There just one way…" Toushiro struggle but he was able to lift up his zanpakuto pointing it at Ichigo. "You must become a Shinigami."
"What?!'
"Run the point of this Zanpakuto through the center of your being and I will pour my powers into you. I don't know if it will work, but there is nothing else we can do." Toushiro said. Ichigo stare at him not noticing the Hollow moving to them. Ichigo smile. "Give me that sword, Shinigami." Toushiro couldn't help but smile back something about this boy made him want to tell him everything which scared Toushiro. "My name is not Shinigami. I am Toushiro Ichimaru." Ichigo grab the word moving it to his chest looking straight into those beautiful turquoise eyes. "I am Ichigo Kurosaki." Then they push the zanpakuto into his chest while still staring into each other's eyes. An explosion happen once it cleared Toushiro was in a white kimono with his blood standing it and Ichigo was now a Shinigami with a large zanpakuto. Ichigo cut the arm off the Hollow.
'How could it be…? I meant to give him half of my powers, but he took nearly all…' Toushiro thought. "Hey." Ichigo call out. 'Who is he?! I have never seen a human with spiritual pressure this large to confuse a Shinigami. I have never seen a human with strength enough to break a Kido spell. Also his zanpakuto is larger than normal. Is it because Isshin your father?' Ichigo continue his attacks on the hollow finally killing it. Ichigo turn to Toushiro and smile. "Look Toushiro I did it." Soon Ichigo pass out from today events. Toushiro move to Ichigo side to check on him. He held his wounds putting as much pressure as he can.
"Looks like you needed a gigai Captain Ichimaru." A voice called. Toushiro turn to see a man with light skin, grey eyes, and messy light blond hair. He was wearing a dark coat, dark green shirt and pants underneath, and wooden sandals on his feet. A striped dark green and white bucket hat on his head. "I'm Kisuke Urahara."
