A little (fiction) info about what has happened before this fanfiction starts: Ichigo summoned Zangetsu as a friend (I honestly am too tired to perfectly explain this… Make all the crazy ideas you want about how it happened) and now both the Old Man and Zangetsu can materialize at Ichigo's will. I promise as you read, it will make more sense. Also this takes place after the Thousand Year Blood War arc. But… It actually didn't happen here so WHEEEE! And Ichigo still has his "original" shikai and bankai (I don't wanna name a unsealing thingy for Zangetsu, and all the ones I had were apparently already taken.)
Hoh boi! I really didn't plan this one out ;-; Be prepared to die o(｀ω´ )o wow I'm actually doing this…. Please be prepared… (This won't include OC's because i don't feel like making any. Well maybe teachers. But you all should know that I'm a lazy writer ∑(ﾟДﾟ) Here is something: Ichigo classifies his Quincy powers as "Old Man" and his Shinigami and Hollow as "Zangetsu" ;3 A little fanfiction never killed anybody… OR DID IT?!
Ichigo sat in his quiet room, with nobody to bug him (with the exception of Kon sleeping in his usual drawer). The orange-haired boy was in his first year of college, and an odd coincidence of Ichigo rooming with no other than Inoue Orihime. This was Ichigo's first week, he had just finished his classes and had wonderful reunion with everybody in the dining hall. His college had also offered a smaller Docters School which Ishida has been attending. Inoue, Ichigo, and Chad are majoring in around the same subjects, tho none of the three know what they are going to major in exactly yet. Though Inoue may be considering going to the Docters School for commonly known reasons among the spirit world.
Yet again, Ichigo has been spinning his pen in hand when he heard a sudden *THUD* on the door. The boy had always been kind enough to keep his room unlocked, since for some strange reason, everybody feels conferred when being in the room with Ichigo. The door swung open and auburn-colored hair swooshed by. The student walked in and jumped onto Ichigo's bed.
"Hey Inoue, how were your first classes? Who are your classmates?" Ichigo asked with slight glee.
"I'm lucky enough to be in the same class as Tastuki-chan and Sado-kun!" She exclaimed with great enthusiasm.
"Actually, I haven't asked who are in your classes?"
"I got two classes with Keigo and Mizuro, and one with Ishida." "We still got time in the dining hall and free time when walking to our classes to see each other though." Ichigo has said with a slightly more positive attitude than usual.
After Ichigo's and Inoue's small conversation, Inoue had sat down at her desk and began thinning out her small pile of homework. Ichigo had already done a majority and said he was going to fall asleep early and wake up early to finish. Inoue kindly accepted Ichigo's statement and went quiet to let Ichigo sleep.
A week had passed and the schedule of falling asleep early and finishing his homework early has been working out for everybody… So far. Ichigo hadn't mentioned that he had been having weird dreams. Not like flying seals or house windows puking rainbows, but something more abnormal.
Ichigo would wake up in Kurosaki Clinic and look out his window to check if everything was normal, or if his dad was jumping up to get Ichigo awake. Tho there was not a soul around, there was nobody on the roads, no Yuzu and Karin, even no Kon if Isshin. The he would hear it. The double-over voice in his mind asking "How do ya do it? I don' understand.". He would ask this all throughout the dream, keeping the same, confused voice. Then after an hour in the dream, Ichigo would wake up to the sound of Inoue getting her flipping the covers off her bed as she rolled over.
Ichigo would glance out his room window to see if anybody was there, sure enough, he saw students already walking around in conversation. After Ichigo had finished his morning routine, Inoue had finally scrambled awake to the sounds of Ichigo neatly stuffing his work and binders into a small bag. Inoue had glanced at the clock up on the wall and had noticed it was only 6:30 AM. After Ichigo had helped her make her beck and pack her things for class, they both walked together to the dining hall to meet the whole crew there: Mizuro, Keigo, Ishida, Tastuki, and Sado.
"What took you so long, Kurosaki, you had made everybody wait." Ishida had said, pushing up his glasses.
"Yo, about time." Tastuki had spat out with a positive intent.
"Good morning, Ichigo." Mizuro had said with his early morning glee.
"Morning." Sado said with his usual blank tone of voice. Then came Keigo.
"GOOD MORNIN' ICHIGOOOO!" Keigo yelled has he lunged at ichigo for a hug. Swiftly, Ichigo had stepped to his side and letting Keigo skid on the pavement.
"I take… that as… a… "Go- good morning"... too."
As everybody continued walking to the dining hall (Ichigo was carrying Keigo), everybody was talking about all their classes, progress, and new friends. Ichigo had also wanted to take a meditation class where you sit and try to fall asleep while sitting up. After the respected period of meditation, everybody would open their eyes, jot down a few notes about what they thought about while meditating, and everybody would share some of what they did. Ichigo had wanted to do it for a special reason: speaking with his zanpakutō. Since meditation was everyday, Ichigo would get to spend more time "bonding" with Zangetsu. Than he would have to make up a few ideas to jot down and share.
Though Ichigo was in college, he was still a shinigami. Since the college he was attending didn't have any local ones, hollow that appeared would be his job, while Kon reluctantly took notes for Ichigo while he was gone so he wouldn't be left in the dark about what happened in class. Though Rukia came for the occasional visit round dark. For Kon as a reward for helping Ichigo of the slightest, he was allowed to be out when Rukia came. Ichigo would call everybody to come over to his room while Rukia is over to have a kind of group chat to discuss about stuff in school and problems in the Soul Society (because there are always problems there).
Before college started, Ichigo had asked Urahara how to make a seal and unseal it for his reiatsu since Ichigo still had poor control over it. The task wasn't simple and had Ichigo awake for days trying to complete the seal. Since hollow were attracted to high amounts of reiatsu, Ichigo wanted to seal off as much power as he could to lower the amount of hollow during the day. Henceforth, preventing Ishida, Inoue, Sado, Anne Ichigo himself from missing too much class.
Tonight, as Ichigo was completing the part of homework he chose to do at night (rather than morning), he had heard the voice that has been dwelling in his dreams for the past week asking:
"Arentcha gonna tell me how ya do this stuff? It looks like rocket science ta me, though I don' really know what that is either."
"Shut up!" Ichigo demanded.
"Do ya even know what I've been askin' 'bout anyways?"
"Well…"
He pointed internally at the paper in front of Ichigo: his homework.
"Oh… WELL YOU AT LEAST COULD HAVE IDENTIFIED IT FOR ME!" Ichigo yelled at Zangetsu.
"SHEESH! IF I HAD KNOWN YA WERE GONNA BE A GRINCH 'BOUT IT, I WOULDNTAH ASKED!" Zangetsu snapped back at Ichigo.
Ichigo sighed as he began speaking normally again.
"So you were asking about my homework? Not some crazy stuff in the back of my mind I don't wanna talk about?"
"Ya know I don' like the rain, I wouldn't dare bring stuff like that up, 'cause that's when things get weird." While stating that, a small snigger had appeared, worrying Ichigo of just the slightest.
"So what subject do you want me to explain first?" Ichigo asked with a small unnoticeable tone of annoyance.
"All of them." Zangetsu said bluntly.
