I don't own Percy Jackson nor Bleach. Enjoy the final part of the story trilogy. I might extend this story if it is requested.
It was a normal day for a 5 year old orange hair boy. His father had to go to a doctors convention in Manhattan. His father allowed the boy to come with him. His mother wasn't feeling good and decided to stay home.
The boy's name was Ichigo Kurosaki. He's easily distracted. Like right now for example. Ichigo was following his father to their hotel room when he was distracted by an enormous black butterfly. Being a curious boy he followed.
About a minute later he was lost with the full moon shining down on him. The moon calmed him down so he wasn't as panicked. "Dad?" Ichigo yelled. No one paid any attention to him. He looked around some more. He couldn't find his father. He was alone.
He started walking around. No one around him seemed familiar to him. He stopped and tried to remember what the name of the hotel was.
Somewhere a few yards away a 4 year old boy with raven hair was holding his mother's hand. His mother was telling the story about how she met his father again. The boy was a very active child with a horrible step-father and a wonderful mother. His name was Percy Jackson. Then he heard someone yelling. "Dad?"
Percy looked around to see Ichigo franticly searching for his father. Percy tugged at his mother's hand. "Yes, Percy?" Sally asked.
He pointed to Ichigo. "Can we go help him?"
Sally looked at who he was pointing at. A bright smile appeared on her face. "Alright, just this once."
Percy smiled in return and ran ahead of her. "Hey," he called out.
Ichigo wipped around and slowly got into a defensive stand like his karate teacher taught him, but he didn't put his arms up. He didn't want to provoke anyone. When Ichigo saw that it was just a boy he dropped his stand. "Hello?" Ichigo didn't know if he should run or just see what the boy wanted. He chose the latter.
Percy stopped a couple of feet in front of him; his mother right behind him "Are you lost?" Sally asked.
Ichigo nodded his head in embarrassment. "I was following my dad to a hotel when I got distracted. My name's Ichigo." He stuck out his hand to the younger boy.
Percy shook the offered hand. "My name's Percy. And this is my mom." He motioned to his mom as he grabbed her hand. "What distracted you?"
Ichigo then muttered, "A black butterfly."
That caused Percy to bust out laughing. "A black butterfly?" He started to laugh more when Ichigo nodded his head.
Sally nudged her son to be quiet. "Do you at least remember the hotel name?"
"All I know it's somewhere around here because my dad was here a few seconds before I saw the butterfly. Then a couple of seconds later poof! He's gone." Ichigo explained.
"Well there's a couple of hotels around here. What did you say your last name was?" Sally asked.
"Kurosaki."
Sally extended her empty hand toward Ichigo. "Follow me. I think I can find your dad for you." Ichigo gladly took the offered hand and Sally led the two boys to a large building. It took Ichigo a couple of minutes before he would go in; he didn't want to abandon the moonlight.
As they entered Sally forced the boys to sit on the couches in the lounge room. "Stay here. I'll be back in five minutes." Then she was gone.
"So Percy," Ichigo started out, "where's your dad?"
The younger boy started fidgeting. "My mom told me he's on a boat traveling on the Atlantic. Mom had to marry Smelly Gabe."
"Who?"
Percy started laughing slightly. "He's my step-dad, Gabe Ugliano. My mom kept her last name, Jackson. I call Gabe, Smelly Gabe because he stinks, a lot." He exaggerated. The two boys started giggling like crazy causing bystanders to look at them weirdly. "Where's your mom?"
"My mom's at our house in Karakura. She wasn't feeling good so she decided to stay home," Ichigo explained.
Before Percy could ask why, he saw his mother walking toward him. "Is Ichigo's dad here?" he asked.
Sally shook her head. "He's not here. He's probably at the hotel a couple blocks from here. Let's go." The two boys grabbed her hands once more and they walked out into the summer night.
Ichigo smiled once more as soon as they were out of the building. Percy saw this and asked, "Why you smiling?"
The older boy glanced at him and answered, "When I see the moon, I remember the story my dad tells me every time I'm sick."
"Maybe one day you can tell us the story," Sally interrupted the children. "I'm sure we would love to hear it."
"And I would love to tell you." Then the two boys got out of her grip and opened the double doors of the hotel.
Sally smiled as she walked through with grace. "Why thank you gentlemen," she thanked. The boys rushed inside and grabbed her hand, only to be led to the couches again. "This will only take a minute," Sally insisted.
As soon as his mother walked away Percy asked, "What's the story about?"
"I'll tell you later."
A couple seconds later. . . "How 'bout now?"
"No."
Couple more seconds later. . .
"Now?"
"No."
"How 'bout now?"
"I'm 'bout to slap you." That shut the curious boy up.
"Can you at least tell me what your dad would do when telling it?" Percy inquired.
Ichigo sighed dramatically causing the younger of the two to giggle. "At the end of the story he would ask me if I knew who the two main characters are. I always answer the same and I would get it right."
As soon as he finished Sally was at his side. "Your dad is at this hotel-."
"Great! Which room?" Ichigo asked hyper that he gets to tell his dad he made a new friend.
She smiled at his enthusiasm. "The desk man called the room twice, but your father didn't answer. He assumed he was already asleep due to the long travel."
Then Percy started getting hyper. "Can Ichigo sleepover at our house? Please, Mommy?"
Ichigo caught on to the rambunctious boy and started begging as well. "Please, Mrs. Jackson. I promise I'll behave."
But Sally was reluctant. Only one thing kept her from saying yes. "I don't think Gabe will like an unexpected guest."
"He can stay in my room!" Percy quickly offered. "We can eat in my room and stay in there until Gabe falls asleep. Please Mom?"
The two waited patiently for Sally's answer. Meaning they gave her their best puppy dog faces. She caved in. "Alright! You two win." The boys started cheering. "But you, Ichigo have to stay in Percy's room until Gabe goes to bed. He can be a little hateful to guest. Promise?"
Ichigo nodded his head. "I promise Mrs. Jackson."
Before the trio left the hotel, the front desk man asked if Sally would want to leave a note for Ichigo's father. "If you don't mind," was the reply. Sally wrote something on a paper and handed it to the man. "Give this to him and tell him this is where his son's at." Then they finally left.
On the way to the Jacksons' house, Ichigo told the story he loved. "Do you know who the lady and the baby is?" he asked.
Percy shook his head as his mother answered, "I think I know who the lady is, but not her daughter." She leaned down and whispered in his ear, not wanting his son to hear.
While Sally whispered her answer, Ichigo smiled. "That's correct.
She smiled in return, though it looked forced. For the rest of the walk Percy kept bugging the older boy to tell him the answer. "You'll know the answer in the future," Sally declared getting annoyed by her son's mood.
They finally arrived at the house. Sally rushed the children inside. "Percy, get him to your room before Gabe-."
"Before I what?" came a voice from the shadow. The boys hid behind the older women. A man came out the shadows. He had the beginning of a beer belly and his white shirt was stained. Ichigo had to hold his breath to keep from gagging. Percy was right. Gabe's stench is horrific.
Gabe glared at the orange hair boy. "Who is this brat?"
"His name is Ichigo. He was lost and he couldn't find his father. We found his father at a hotel downtown, but he was already asleep due to travel exhaustion," Sally explained in the sweetest tone she could muster.
Gabe took a drink out of his beer before he asked, "Why didn't you just leave him?" Sally gasped in horror, but Gabe continued. "I already have to put up with one kid, why do I need another?"
"It's just for tonight," she insisted. "I'll make you your favorite dinner."
Gabe pondered on it before pointing an accused finger at the five-year old boy. "I want you out of this house tomorrow before I wake up. Do you understand me? Or do you not understand grown up talk?"
"When my dad has a patient, he asks me to get medication that everyone in this state, including you, wouldn't know how to pronounce it or what it is," Ichigo countered causing Percy to giggle. Gabe face started to grown a dark pink color.
Sally forced the two boys to go into Percy's bedroom. From the bedroom the two boys could hear Gabe yelling at Sally to move out of the way. Seconds later Gabe barged through the door, knocking it off of its hinges in the process.
Gabe made an attempt to punch Ichigo in the face. Ichigo closed his eyes and got ready for the impact, but it never came. He slowly opened his eyes to see a snow white lion standing in front of an unconscious man, a.k.a Gabe.
Percy stared at the older boy in bewilderment. "How did you do that?" he asked in amazement.
Ichigo stared at him. "I did that?"
When Percy nodded his head Ichigo fled the house. He heard the boy and his mother call out for him, but he continued running to the hotel his father was at. As soon as he opened the door, he ran into his father. Ichigo fell asleep on his shoulder. His father sighed and stared up at the full moon. "He's not ready yet," he yelled. "Wait until he's older! I'm sure even his son isn't ready at his age!"
The end! Like I said at the top, if you want a continuation of this story please review that you want it. Later!
