Alright! A Kenpachi x Ichigo full length story! I am also writing a Shikamaru x Naruto story right now, so this is the first time I am writing two stories at once… But I can promise you that I will never abandon either story. I hate it when writers do that, the least they could do it say they are not going to finish it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or any of it's characters.
Summary: Another alternative universe fic! Some things still the same… Ichigo is a senior at Karakura high school who sees spirits. His friend Rukia introduces him to a group of similar individuals with special abilities that is characterized by their ability to see spirits. It's a Kenpachi x Ichigo, which means yaoi, which means boy on boy, and with me that means eventual lemons.
Thank you pantaloon, for pointing out my mistakes!!
Chapter 1
Ichigo Kurosaki was waving good bye to his friends for the day when he was suddenly tackled by his friend Rukia. They fell heavily onto the ground with Rukia on top grinning sadistically and he taking the brunt of the blow.
"Rukia gods damn it!" This made the flat chested girl laugh and she delivered a sharp whap to the top of his head.
"Ichigo! You are hanging out with me this weekend; I have some friends I want you to meet."
"Friends?" Ichigo asked while getting up off the ground and dusting himself off.
"Yeah, those 'friends' I was telling you about before." Ah, those friends. Ichigo was 17 years old and could see spirits.
There was apparently a good fraction of the world that had this supernatural sense coupled with other talents that varied from person to person. Ichigo wounds healed faster than normal and he also was able to shoot spiritual energy with different levels of intensity.
There were good, or 'plus' spirits in this world as well as bad, or 'hollow' spirits in this world. Spirits were souls that did not pass on to the next world and were instead stuck in this one for some reason or another. While most spirits are not harmful the dark spirits were sometimes strong enough to hurt humans depending on how strong they were when they were alive.
Both types of spirits were drawn to high spiritual energy, or reiatsu, and therefore those with high spiritual energy sometimes have to fight off the hollows that attack them. Although it is not a publicly accepted fact that these spirits exist as well as those who have reiatsu, there is a small portion of the population who accept it. The other part of the population is either ignorant of it or denies that it exists.
So Rukia was going to introduce him to that group, huh. While Ichigo was interested in others like him, he was feeling a little bit apprehensive. Ichigo had met Rukia's older brother, Byakuya Kuchiki, and they hadn't gotten along very well. Apparently Byakuya was very involved in the group, but hopefully the other members would not hold the same distaste for him.
The group called themselves Shinigami. Death gods. Their main purpose was to gain control of their gifts but they also protect society from Hollows. There is a way to banish hollows to the next world by breaking their masks, pluses, however, only pass on when they feel ready to do so.
And now Rukia wanted him to meet others in the group. It wasn't like he had any plans for the weekend, just hanging out around the house, dodging attacks from his dad and mothering attempts from his sister. He loved his family, but they were so quirky sometimes.
Ichigo nodded in response to Rukia's declaration that he would be meeting her friends this weekend. She smirked at him and ordered him to be ready by noon for her and her brother to pick him up. Ugh, traveling with elder Kuchiki was not going to be fun, even if it was for a short while.
Ichigo walked home and blocked his father's attack on his person before trudging upstairs with shouts from his sister Yuzu that dinner was at 7. She made him smile; even his grumpy sister Karin made him smile. But that was family.
Ichigo fell onto his bed before shifting uncomfortably and sitting up again, dragging a stuffed lion out from underneath him. It was his favorite punching bag that he hit sometimes to relieve stress. He wouldn't keep the thing even if it was a stress reliever except that Yuzu gave it to him out of loving concern. It was the thought that counted.
He gazed up at the ceiling pondering about the Shinigami. He wondered what they would be like, and what powers they had. He heard that one of them had similar ice powers like Rukia's, except a little more range of power. He hadn't heard about anyone who could heal like him but Byakuya could shoot blast reiatsu like himself, except in smaller portions and with more flexibility over them.
He sat up again with a sigh, he might as well do homework now so he didn't have to worry about it later, and he didn't know how long Rukia was going to keep him busy. Probably forever if she had her way with him. He smiled at the thought. He loved that girl like a sister- and (like family) while he loved her, sometimes he just didn't like her.
The base for the Shinigami was a castle outside of Karakura city limits that had a permanent field around it, blocking it from sight, appearing as just another part of the scenery. The inside was fairly modern with electricity and furniture, but the décor did nothing to hide the fact that it was still a castle.
That same Friday night Zaraki Kenpachi was pumping iron in the work out room when Yachiru Kusajishi came bouncing in. Kenpachi is a hulking stature of a man, towering at 6 feet 7 ½ inches. He had dark hair that hung around his face and at its longest hit just at his collar bone. (1)
"Ken-chan!" Yachiru cried joyfully.
"Hn?" Kenpachi responded, setting the bar and weights back down on the bench press and sitting up.
"The new member is coming tomorrow!"
Taking a chug of water, Kenpachi muttered to himself "New member?"
"Wellllll… maybe a new member! Ruki-Ruki is bringing him tomorrow."
"Maybe he is somebody who is actually worth fighting!"
"Ah! Maybe Ken-chan will get to have some fun!"
Kenpachi chuckled at the pleasant thought. Although he wouldn't be allowed to kill the guy if he joined the Shinigami, there was no reason they couldn't beat the crap out of each other. Most likely just Kenpachi beating the crap out of him though.
"So who is the guy?"
"Oh, um…His name is…Strawberry!"
"Strawberry?"
Yachiru nodded her head fervently while Kenpachi chuckled.
"Well we will see if this 'Strawberry' is worth our time." Yachiru giggled at him and Kenpachi went back to working out.
Pretty much just a younger Kenpachi, not an older one. This means no eye patch and no bells in the hair. In other words, insanely hot.
Please review so I know if you like it and want me to continue!!
