Some OOC Ichigo. Non-canon acting Ichigo. Possible some accidental bashing. Swearing.
"It's time to get up Ichigo." A deep spoke to Ichigo as he got up, gasping for air as he felt the phantom pains of the hollowfication in the Shattered Shaft. When he calmed down enough to look around, he was... shocked, for lack of a better term.
He was in Karakura town, but it was sideways, literally, he slowly stood up, trying to make sure that he wouldn't fall into the street, and looked around, trying to find the source of the voice that woke him up.
"I'm here Ichigo." The same deep voice from before spoke from behind Ichigo causing him to jump slightly and quickly turn around to see where the voice came from. When he turned around he saw a man, who looked to be in his mid to early 50s, standing behind him.
He was a tall man with a long face, broad chin and pronounced cheekbones, his black hair went down to his lower back. His eyes were a reddish brown colour with thin eyebrows. He had well-kept mutton chops with a connected moustache but he was otherwise cleanly shaven.
He wore a white, double-breasted trench coat, with a odd symbol, that looked familiar to Ichigo somehow, with large buttoned cuffs and labels, white trousers and trench boots.
Over this he wears a tattered, ankle-length black cloak, with a red ribbon near the neck and was fastened to the left with a single large button.
He posed a very intimidating image, but Ichigo knew this person, this was the person that he always saw in his dreams, telling him that the time was drawing nearer...whatever that meant.
"Who are you?" Ichigo asked, trying to get some information from the only other person that was in this world that he could see, and possibly the one who brought him here.
"We are currently in your Inner World Ichigo, "The man answered simply, "let's talk."
Ichigo looked at the man like he was crazy, "I don't have time for talking, I need to get my powers back to save Rukia!" Ichigo was already angry with Urahara, for being kind of a dick as he didn't really give him any instructions on the training, just expecting him to know things, and the man in front of him, acting so calm, was not helping his current attitude.
The mans response, however, was to chuckle, "There is no need to worry my successor, you are not going to be turned into a Hollow, I have made sure of that."
He says while gesturing behind him, Ichigo looks and sees a still Hollow, that had white and red features, behind the man, it had several light blue arrows piercing it's body, seemingly pinning it in place.
Ichigo looks at the man, who was apparently responsible for him not turning into a hollow, and thanked him, "Thanks, but I still need to get my Shinigami powers back to save Rukia." Ichigo was hoping that this guy could help him find his powers, until he saw the man sigh and shake his head, almost in the fashion a father would when scolding his son.
"Why would you want the powers of a Shinigami, when you have something much greater, my successor?" The man spoke while staring at Ichigo. Ichigo didn't know why, but he felt that he should trust this person, so he thought he should find out more about this power that he, apparently, had.
"Are you saying that I have more that just my Shinigami powers? And why do you keep calling me, 'my successor'?" Ichigo was hoping that what the man was saying was true, at least then he could save Rukia and possibly give some very justified payback to the Red Pineapple and the Captain who had put him in this position to begin with.
"Yes, so much more," he reached out his hand out, as if wanting to shake Ichigos hand, "my name is Juha Bach, I am the king of all Quincys and your ancestor. Your name is Ichigo Kurosaki, you are my successor. The Prince of the Quincys. Now, let us talk." Ichigo simply nodded his head as he tried to process all the information, and when he did he had to contain a laugh, thinking of what Uryu would say when he found out about this.
"Okay then, what do I have to do to get my powers?" Juha smiled as he if knew that Ichigo would accept his offer. "Let's begin then Ichigo."
Outside the Shattered Shaft.
Urahara Kisuke was never the type of guy to worry, he usually planned so far in advance that almost nothing could ever surprise him... this however, was one of the rare times that he was ever shocked.
A large amount of energy, that felt like at least Captain-class, was released from the Shattered Shaft, only it didn't feel like a Hollow or a Shinigamis spirit energy, it felt... different somehow.
From the pillar of smoke and spirit energy, something shot out of it and landed a short distance away from Ururu, Jinta and smoke began to clear as Tensai was beginning to get out of the Shattered Shaft, and what they say surprised them all.
Ichigos clothes had changed since he was in the Shattered Shaft, his shoes were now blue with white laces and streaks on them, his trousers and jacket were both white but his jacket had dark blue markings on parts of it in the shape of a star on his shoulder and red lines on the left side of his hood (like Ichigos First Hollow mask). Ichigos previously large katana-like Zanpakuto was now a ornate sword, reminiscent of a Dadao, with a relatively long handle and a cross-guard shaped like a bird, resting on his hip.
Urahara was the first to recover from his shock and quickly brought his trade-mark grin to his face, which was covered by his fan, as he approached the youngest male Kurosaki.
"My, my Kurosaki-san. I certainly didn't expect this to hap... " he didn't get to finish as Ichigo punched him in the face, causing him to fall to the ground and comically roll around in pain, drawing a giggle and a large laugh from Ururu and Jinta, respectively.
"So cruel Kurosaki-san," Urahara wailed before getting up as if nothing had happened, drawing looks from those present, minus Tensai, who was used to it, "oh well, if you're so angry, let's get started with the last test, you need... to knock off my hat, you have no timeframe to do this in however."
Ichigo spoke for the first time since he got out of the Shattered Shaft, "10 minutes..." seeing Uraharas' questioning look, he elaborated "10 minutes is all I shall need to beat you, Urahara."
Urahara maintained his grin as he drew a sword from his cane, "Well then, you certainly have gained your confidence back. Let's see if you can fight as well as you can boast, draw your sword, and we can start." Ichigos response, confused Urahara, and those watching, he simply stood there, hands in his pockets, not moving.
"Let's go Urahara... I'll end this quickly." Ichigo spoke in a fairly monotone fashion, which would of never been used by the teen before all this. At this, however, Urahara simply sighed, thinking it would be easy and charged.
For the next 3 minutes, Ichigo was practically dancing around Urahara, dodging his attacks while his face was unchanged and hands still in his pockets.
"You'll never knock my hat off if you just keep running away from me Kurosaki-san. How can you save Rukia if you can't knock off my hat?" Urahara taunted, hoping to get a response from the usually was slightly happy when Kurosaki started to glare at him, it was a change from the usual impassive look that he had been holding through the whole fight, though a larger part of him was worried as he felt a very large heat emitting from Ichigo as his spirit energy surrounded him.
"*sigh* Now, I'm pissed off" Ichigos' power was flaring, giving off quite a bit of heat, "Letter H - The Heat - I invoke" as he said this fire could be seen in Ichigos eyes, and that is something that Urahara found both good and confusing.
Urahara though that Ichigos would have a different type of Zanpakuto than Isshin, but that wasn't the main point, the thing was that Ichigos didn't even draw his sword to release, what Urahara though, was his Shikai.
*Flashback End*
"In order for you to use my powers, you need to speak the letter and its meaning, then you can access some of my powers, do you understand Ichigo?" Juha was telling Ichigo how to access his powers, all of them.
"Okay, so which can I learn first?" Ichigo spoke eagerly, wanting to get more power quickly to save Rukia.
"For now, I will give youthe letter H, meaning The Heat, say "Letter H - The Heat - I invoke"
and you will be able to access those powers, you will need to train more later with them however." Juha spoke seriously, causing Ichigo to nod his head, before clutching it as his mind was flooded with techniques that can be used by the Letter H.
"Now then, It is time for you to return my descendent, be sure to show the shopkeeper what a true Quincy is." With that being said, Ichigo was sent back to reality, to wear he jumped out of the Shattered Shaft.
*Flashback End.*
"Burner Finger One" Ichigo spoke, almost lazily, and broke Urahara out of his thoughts, to see that Ichigo was pointing a finger at him and a narrow beam of flame was rushing towards him, he managed to dodge, if only barely.
"My, my, you nearly took my head of with that attack Kurosaki-san, but that won't be enough to take my h..." as Urahara reached to touch his precious hat, he was shocked to feel it wasn't there, he looked to where he once was to see his hat flouting to the ground...only slightly on fire.
"I've won Urahara... and I've killed your hat." He spoke with a slight smirk. Urahara was weeping, mourning over the loss of his made his way over to Tensai, "I'm going home Tensai-san, tell Urahara to contact me when we're leaving, okay?" The tall man nodded to the orange haired teens question, Ichigo gave a polite bow, which Tensai returned, before leaving, waving goodbye to Ururu and Jinta while doing so.
As Ichigo was walking home, he was thinking of how the Soul Society, particularly an elderly captain, would react to seeing him, being the descendent of Juha Bach.
He was sure of a few things though... he was going to chew the midget out for thinking she could leave without saying a proper goodbye and that he was going to piss off a lot of Shinigami while trying to get to the midget.
He entered his room through the window, trying to not make any noise to avoid waking up his sisters, and going to bed, finding that he was actually looking forward to tomorrow, after all, he had a lot of training to do.
