Ichigo Rukia
Summary: What if Ichigo never lost his hollow powers, thus allowing him to keep his mask and hollow abilities. Over time training at Urahara's has proven useful and he now has full control over his hollow powers as well as regaining Zangetsu.
A/N Hey I'm not one for putting stuff before or after the story but this is a story where the only fighting is done by Ichigo and I'm aware that some of the characters would put up more of a fight but this is my story and it's how I wanted it :-D
2 Months after Rukia Fades away.
"Hello Ichigo ready for a little fun" a cracked voice said in his mind. "Oh shit" Ichigo groaned. Closing his eyes on his bed he goes to his spirit world. It's changed now that Zangetsu is gone the buildings are white, clouds black, kinda gloomy Ichigo thought to himself. Well Zangetsu is gone I suppose that is a good reason.
"What do you want I thought I wouldn't have to deal with you once I used Mugetsu" He says while looking at his hollow. Well so much for that Ichigo thinks to himself. "Hey it's not my fault you couldn't think of another way to be that shit Aizen". "Oh and Zangetsu isn't gone he's just sleeping you dolt."
"WW-hhh-aa-ttt" Ichigo Stuttered.
"Well" Hichigo starts "You never lost me HA-HA-HA I was never going to be lost if you used Mugetsu but you didn't care to ask me for my help or anything so now I'm going to give you some help since you obviously need it I mean hell it hasn't stopped raining in here since you let Zangetsu go to sleep".
"Wait what do you mean help?" Ichigo says raising one eyebrow.
"Simple I'm going to give you more of my powers and abilities that way you can still protect yourself till you get him to wake up".
Ichigo looks at Hichigo suspiciously when has his hollow ever done something without something to gain.
"Hmm"
"So what do you say? I know your still thinking I have something to hide but let me put your mind at ease King I'm not" He could tell Hichigo was getting annoyed as he was putting emphasis on the King part.
"So does this mean you won't be messing with me anymore since you're going to be giving me help?" Ichigo asks eying Hichigo.
"Hmmph" "I wasn't going to tell you but as soon as you wake Zangetsu up I'm sure he would be only too happy to tell you but I can't take over anymore". Ichigo was deadpanned shocked "How" Ichigo asked
"Well When Zangetsu went to sleep he sealed himself off this included sealing me until I could break free and wake up but you will have to reawaken him. This is why Rukia still disappeared from your sight".
"But I am still sealed as far as attacking you with any deadly force so I can only help you become stronger so that this body never gets killed. So the deal is you fight me twice a week and I'll help you wake Zangetsu, Give you some of my Powers, and teach you how to hide your Spirit Pressure. So what do you think?
"I think it's too good to be true" Ichigo said while still not completely trusting in his pale duplicate.
"Think about it then but don't take forever cause who knows what's been happening with you gone from Rukia" and with that he disappeared.
/Real World/
Ichigo didn't know what to do Hichigo's offer sounded great and in his mind there was not hesitation but he was still a little wary of all things pertaining to his hollow.
So Ichigo went to see Urahura
He arrived at Urahura's Shop to see him opening the door. "How'd you know I was coming" He asked Urahura.
"Spirit Pressure, Yours to be precise its slowly returning but how?" "Come in, sit, have some tea and tell me about this new development.
Urahura sat down and began to pour some tea for the two of them. "How is she have your seen her lately" Ichigo asked.
Urahura flipped his fan open and begin to fan himself "I'm afraid not I haven't seen her since she returned 2 months ago" knowing that Ichigo was talking about Rukia.
"So what brings you here I'm sure you would have came sooner if it was juat to ask about Rukia"
"My hollow is still in my head and he wants to help me get more power and reawaken Zangetsu oh and help seal my Retseu also" Ichigo blurted out.
Urahura dropped his fan mouth agape "Wh-wh-aaa-ttt"
"Yeah" Ichigo said softly.
Meanwhile Urahura POV
He had recomposed himself picked up his fan and put it into his pocket. After all this time and he still fights for power the power to protect those that he holds dear. He went and saved both worlds when he fought against Aizen. Sure he had to help a little but without Ichigo all would have been lost so this ment one thing to him. Ichigo should be able to do anything he wanted when it came down to it.
Urahura looked at Ichigo seriously and said "What do you need"
Ichigo soon began to train with his hollow and after a short time had begun to be able to form Balas, Ceros, Grand Ray Ceros, and could Regenerate. As far as his mask he was just more powerful with it.
He had taken to using a practice sword in sealed form.
Once he awoken Zangetsu he would be able to take form and then he would be back and go get Rukia.
He had also mastered Flash Step and could even match Yoruichi she had even taught him some Kido even though he didn't like using it.
Sealing his retsu was a bigger task to handle considering the power from his hollow and his steadily increasing Shinigami powers returning which were powerful just alone.
Finally he awoke Zangetsu and learning to seal him Zangetsu was in a smaller Bankai form of the sword the Black Blade extended to a normal sword length with a small Red Ribbon at the end of the Black Hilt and after training with him and his hollow for what seemed like ages.
Ichigo learned El Diablo The Bull from his hollow side, Hichigo told it to him like this 'If his Hollow Mask was the sword, His Hollow Form With Claws and A Tail was his Shikia, And El Diablo The Bull which he used to fight Ulquiorra was his Bankai.
Once he had almost destroyed Urahara's Underground area and finally mastered the Ceros through the horns and combining them with one in each hand had created a hole half the size of the underground training area.
Urahara heard what he could only describe as an earth shattering sound he knew that Ichigo had power but to this extent.
He quickly put down his tea and flash stepped to the underground training area. What he saw made him drop his fan and a gust of wind came through from all of the dust settling from Ichigo's combined Trio of Ceros in his El Diablo The Bull state Zangetsu glowing a black and red from so much of Ichigo's Retsu being put into it as though a Getsuga Tenshou could go from it at any moment. Ichigo in his Bull form claws still glowing from the cero and horns a red hue around them turned to see Urahara who almost fell to his knees. Ichigo noticed the effect and immediately went to his normal bankia form shattering his Hollow Bull state and smiled at Urahara.
"Sorry about your Training area it was my fault I put a little too much into a Triple Cero I'll help you fix it If you want" Ichigo said while still grinning a little on one side.
"Oh don't worry about it" Urahara said picking up his fan and his hat. "So what is the reason for all of this intense training" Urahara asked taking a step towards Ichigo.
"Well I want to go and see Rukia but after the end of the Winter War no one came to see me, not a single person and I couldn't go see them". Ichigo sighed his normal scowl returning.
"I'm sure they knew I didn't expect to be thanked or anything but I wouldn't have mind seeing someone I mean I did kinda give up my powers at the time". "The intense training is in case they didn't want to see me again and I have to put up any sort of a fight, don't know who is going to do what so I want to be ready".
Urahara starts fanning himself "You want to see Rukia don't you"
Ichigo started turning red "I might I just want to see why her of all of them wouldn't come see me"
"Well" Urahara started "Hey Hats & Clogs how long have I been down there anyway?" Ichigo interrupted "Ghmmhmmm" Well as I was about to say you have been down there training for two months".
"WHHHAAATTTT" Ichigo yelled.
"Well every time I would come try to tell you something about it you would simply tell me you didn't have time to take a break and talk cause you had to get back to training.
"WELL WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY BODY" Ichigo remembers that once he had his hollows Retsu he could come out of his body and since reawaking Zangetsu he hadn't really been back in his body.
"Ahh I put Kon in it and have him restricted to school and home where your Father can keep an eye on him". "And before you ask I also have Ishida and Tatsuki looking after him as well they know and have explained it to the others". "Anything else" Urahara asked smiling under his fan.
Hmmphh Ichigo knew he was smiling under that fan of his he just could tell by his retsu, "I guess not I'd like to go see everyone before I decide what to do can you get Kon over here so I can get in my body for a while".
"Sure I'll call you up when he gets here" Urahara started to walk to the door.
"Kisuke-San" Urahara turned to find Ichigo slightly bowed to him and was in shock.
"Kisuke-San Thanks to you I was able to train to have the power to protect again I want to thank you for the use of your Underground Training area"
"You're Welcome" Urahara said then turning and flash stepping up to the store to call Isshin to send Kon over.
"I'm home" Ichigo said as he walked through the door if seemed like forever since he had been here. I guess it kinda had well at least he could see everyone again before he would leave for Soul Society.
He sidestepped his rushing Dad as he ran right into the door of the house "Very Good My SON I Have Nothing Left To Teach You". He knew his Dad would get serious later and ask him how things had went but he had already know what he was up to being friends with Urahara and he had been gone for so long. "Ichi-nee welcome home supper will be done shortly" Yuzu said from the kitchen.
"Oh, it's just you Ichigo. Whats up?" Karin asked as she entered the room with Rukia. "Hey Ichigo" Rukia said as if she hadn't been gone for months. Nobody noticed the look of shock that Ichigo was in as he fell over.
Ichigo had passed out.
