Ichigo in Gensōkyō

I do not own anything else considered cameo from anime, games, and etcetera. All I own is Sekai Ishtal, and any form of original characters used in this story, if any.

Author's Note: So basically, let's not allow Ichigo his two power-ups to Shinigami Mode, drop him in the middle of Gensōkyō, and play the game called "WHAT THE HELL!?".

I'm purposely ignoring the Quincy War/Thousand-Year Blood War arc, so this plot takes place sometime after the Xcution arc.

The Main Cast includes Ichigo Kurosaki, Gin Ichimaru, Yukari Yakumo, Remilia Scarlet, Marisa Kirisame, Reimu Hakurei, Alice Margatroid, and Sekai Ishtal. All other Gensōkyō citizens get included as this plot unfolds.


Do you remember that old story of how a girl named Alice ended up in a mythical land of fantasy called Wonderland? Well, Ichigo would fit the role of Alice, and Gensōkyō would be his Wonderland to explore. Of course, Ichigo did not chase after a white rabbit with a penchant to keeping track of time, nor did he fall down a bottomless hole at the foot of a tree. So, one moment, Ichigo was minding his own business after a full day at Tokyo U. He was heading home to the apartment that he rented four blocks from the university, and then suddenly he was falling into a hole with the ends pinched off by ribbons, through a strange red-colored darkness filled with hundreds of creepy eyes, and then ended up waking with the morning sunlight hitting his face several hours later.

"What the hell happened?"

Ichigo rubbed his head. As the sleepiness left him, he then recalled what happened. Some freaky portal appeared and he fell through it. It wasn't like a Garganta or a Senkaimon. Frankly, remembering it before blacking had creeped him out, recalling those hundreds of creepy eyes staring in every direction at his body. He had everything that belonged to him once he checked himself: he has his wallet and I.D., his college book bag, the clothes on his back. His cellphone was in the book bag and was not damaged. He suddenly felt something in his shirt pocket, in which he pulls out. It was a short folded letter, with the words "READ THIS" written on it. Doing so, he is greeted with a short message.

WELCOME TO GENSŌKYŌ. HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY, KUROSAKI-SAN.

"Gensōkyō? What the hell? This has to be a weird prank…"

Ichigo takes out his cellphone again and turns it on, putting in the pin code to unlock it. However, in the upper right corner of the LCD screen, he sees an X mark over the signal strength. No cell tower signal, no wireless connections.

"Shit," Ichigo cursed.

Well, so much for calling for assistance from friends and family. What a bad time to leave his Combat Pass back at the apartment, too. If he was attacked by a Hollow now, he'd have no way to fight back.

There was a man with raven black hair and vivid purple eyes, with very long-pointed elf-shaped ears.

"Yukari? Are you sure about this? That human has a great immense level of spiritual energies within his very soul. He's bound to attract all sorts of troubles Gensōkyō doesn't need."

A playful smile crossed the lips of a blonde-haired woman, as she takes hold of a sake cup and takes a polite sip of the strong alcoholic beverage.

"True. However, after that incident where the barrier nearly cracked because of Kurosaki-san's powers returning, I was interested on seeing how he'd fare when denied the items that allow him to fully draw his powers forth. Of course, Sekai, your friend would be very interested in venturing out from his home should he learn Kurosaki-san was now in Gensōkyō."

"You also want to have an excuse for Reimu to stop being lazy in the Hakurei Shrine," he guesses aloud. He knew he was correct when Yukari did not make any further comment, aside the small twitch at the corner of her lips as she takes another sip of her drink.

Sekai sighs.

Yukari refills her cup, as she looks upon the open gap way showing Ichigo deciding to venture towards the forest following the dirt road.

"I wonder how long until he realizes he's being followed."

With that comment stated, the elf yōkai leaves Yukari's company.

"Ichigo Kurosaki… you will attract all sorts of attention from our lovely citizens for the things you've done in your teenage years."

Some to list: Breaking into a realm that would be considered heaven to rescue a friend, fighting and breaking into the realm of hell to rescue a kidnapped sister from a Sinner, breaking the Gates of Hell, gaining, losing, and regaining the powers to become a Shinigami, fighting in a supernatural war from the afterlife against a villain who wanted to become God. Yes, Yukari can see much entertainment coming from her newest victim… wait; I mean her newest interest…

Yes…

… Interest…

A buzz was heard. Sakuya stopped and reached into her front pocket and pulls out a sky blue and white flip-model cell phone that came from the Outside World.

It was something Sekai got for them (having different colored cell phones for each resident in the manor), and magically altered. Magic empowered the device, and he runed it so it would not easily be destroyed in any major incidences that Gensōkyō would experience from time to time. While at first none of them would believe it would be of any use, none of the manor's residents discarded it. After all, it was a thoughtful gift from the elf butler.

It was a typed-up message from Sekai.

Sekai Ishtal: [YUKARI HAS BROUGHT AN OUTSIDER INTO GENSŌKYŌ. HE HAS ENOUGH SPIRITUAL POWER TO FIGHT ANY OF US ON EVEN GROUND IF HE'S ABLE TO ACCESS HIS POWERS. THOUGHT YOU SHOULD INFORM REMILIA-SAMA.]

Yukari brought an outsider who has strong spiritual powers like the shrine maiden? Message read, Sakuya decided to do just that, relegating her current duty to one of the fairy maids. She marches off to find her mistress.

=0=0=0=0=

Yuyuko Saigyouji.

She is the Ghost Princess of Hakugyokurou (Tower of White Jade) in the Netherworld.

The long-haired pinkette was smiling for an odd reason, as she gazes off to the distance; seemingly to stare upon whatever it is that was trying to attract her attention.

"Yuyuko-sama?"

"Youmu-chan, would you venture outside for awhile? I believe our days of boredom are coming to an end," she said mystically.

This command confused the swordswoman/gardener, but she nods in acknowledgement. Finishing setting out today's lunch for her mistress and the prepared tea, she leaves to gather her swords. Yuyuko reaches out and grabs hold of a biscuit, and nibbles on it.

"I have this sneaking suspicion Yukari has a hand in the upcoming days of insanity greeting us all." She smiles brightly.

Yuyuko was hoping she would be able to meet this stranger with the wild level of spirit energy in his soul. It was rare to meet humans, even from the Outside World of the Living Realm with a high spiritual energy sense. In fact, her thoughts now turned towards a certain white-haired man Youmu had discovered in the garden six years ago, who was clad in a white long robe over his haori and hakama. And with the stranger was an ordinary wakizashi with a light-blue hilt and a tsuba made of two slim swirls of metal looping around the blade to make an open oval, resembling an "S".

"Gin Ichimaru… what would you think of the spirit sense I felt…?"

=0=0=0=0=

Gin smiled politely to Alice as he helped her with her daily shopping in Ningen no Sato (Human Village).

While he was being the perfect gentlemen, carrying Alice's purchases, he was focused upon the spiritual pressure he briefly felt.

"Gin?"

The silver-haired former Shinigami (now living human with powers intact) blinked… or blinked as much a guy who has squinting eyes could blink.

"Sorry Alice. Just a bit distracted."

"It is okay, Gin. I was saying we could visit Reimu's shrine for lunch. I believe she would like it if I brought food to her for once. Heavens know Marisa and Suika mooch off her."

Gin chuckles a bit.

"She says she hates it, but I know that she would hate if they left her home forever," said Gin. "They're all family in some weird and very strange way."

Alice smiled, agreeing with that statement.

"I believe she would appreciate the visit when it's just friends instead of annoyances."

Alice directs her gaze towards a certain tengu girl who was hiding in the nearby alley.

"Aya, what are you doing?"

"Nothing," Aya replies.

Liar, the two thought in unison.

"So, Yukari is doing something to bring entertainment to Gensōkyō?"

"Yes, Ojou-sama," Sakuya answers, "Sekai had sent me a message on the flip phone. I have a hunch that he is tracking after our latest guest from the Outside World as we speak."

A certain young lady who would in appearances resemble a young child smiles devilishly. The pale purple-haired vampire was very intrigued by this breaking development.

"Do you believe she did this to rouse the shrine maiden from her slothful days?"

Sakuya ponders on the answer. "It is a possibility. However, Sekai and Yukari do have a former relationship before his days coming to Gensōkyō. He may know who our Outsider is… he's the only other who ventures between the Great Hakurei Barrier from time to time."

Remilia Scarlet, the Lady of the Manor, would sip her favorite tea blend, savoring the flavor.

"Sakuya, find Sekai-kun and accompany him. Make observations on our latest Outsider."

"Yes, Ojou-sama."

With a polite bow, she leaves the room.

"Nothing?"

"Nothing. I can't get an accurate location of Ichigo's whereabouts," Kisuke Urahara apologized. "Something is blocking the signal to his cell phone. I can't track him with the Soul Pager function, either."

It's been close to twelve hours since Ichigo mysteriously disappeared, and once friends and family noticed the unanswered calls to Ichigo, began to search for him. At the Urahara Shōten was Rukia, Renji, Uryū, and Ichigo's sister Karin.

"What could have happened to him? Big brother has survived worse, and then he disappears…"

"It couldn't be Hollows. Ichigo would be able to deter them off if he didn't have his Combat Pass," comments Rukia.

Of course, Rukia currently was in possession of Ichigo's Combat Pass, having been found in his empty apartment.

"We'll keep looking for him. I just pray it's nothing too serious," said Kisuke, grim worry etched on his face.


That's it for now...

Been busy gaming and suffering through the harsh reality called life. Damn late January snow...
