Of Hollows and Youkai.
A/N: Just so you know this will take place in a different timeline. Ichigo will only be 16 and it starts in the summer before classes begin only one year after the winter war.
Ishin had been all too aware of what his son had been up to as of late. He knew all about his sons quest to regain his powers as hell as the fullbring he had obtained. But Ishin also knew of the dark agenda that Ichigo's so called ally had in store.
Urahara and himself had a plan to restore his son's reiatsu, but it wasn't ready yet. He needed a way to stall for time until they were ready. He had remembered his brother in-law, Masaki's sister's husband bragging on the telephone about how his son attended some private school known as Youkai Academy. Ishin felt a small stab in his heart. Masaki's sister had wanted nothing to do with them after her sister had died. She had loved being around the kids but after Masaki's death she had blamed Ishin solely for the event and had since refused to visit though Ishin did try and keep up with what they were doing from time to time.
Ishin really knew next to nothing about this Youkai Academy other than it was really far away. But that was exactly what he would need until they were ready. His mind made up he called his brother in-law and asked if he could send over the enrollment information.
Tsukune was getting excited for his return to Youkai in a couple of days. He couldn't wait to see Moka… and the others of course. He smiled to himself as his thoughts drifted to the beautiful vampire… and his other friends too. He continued to pack for school lost in thought when a knock came at the door, "Hey Tsukune, I've got a surprise for you," said his dad as he walked into his room.
'A surprise,' thought Tsukune, 'I wonder what it could be.'
"I was just on the phone with your Uncle Ishin,"
'Uncle who?'
"And we got to talking and it turns out he just enrolled your cousin Ichigo in Youkai Academy.
'I have a cousin? Wait, what!'
Tsukune's face lost all color as the blood drained from his face.
"What was that dad," asked Tsukune not sure if he had heard his father correctly.
"Your Uncle Ishin,"
Tsukune vaguely remembered a large dark haired man with a beard like a goat's.
"just enrolled your cousin Ichigo,"
Now he could see the face of a smiling orange haired boy.
"into Youkai Academy," said his father with a grin as he finished his statement for the second time.
Tsukune could only stand there and stare at his father. This was not good.
"Speechless eh? I knew you'd be surprised."
Surprised didn't even begin to cover it in Tsukune's mind. He was flat out panicking.
"YOU DID WHAT," shouted an enraged Ichigo as he glared at the man he called dad as they walked down the side walk.
"YOU HEARD CORRECTLY MY SON. I JUST ENROLLED YOU IN YOUKAI ADAMY WITH YOUR COUSIN," said Ishin an over enthused voice, a large idiotic grin plastered on his face.
"And what's all this about a cousin? Since when did I have a cousin?"
"He's your Mother's Sister's son. Don't tell me you don't remember your dear cousin Tsukune."
Ichigo could barely recall them but he still had memories of playing with a boy by that name. It had been so long since he had seen him he had completely forgotten that he was his cousin.
"I still don't get why you enrolled me into this private school."
"Don't be so narrow minded Ichigo. You need to see the world and broaden your horizens," said Ishin as they came to a halt in front of a bus stop.
"I don't care I'm not going," declared Ichigo. He couldn't just leave his friends here unprotected.
"Well if that's what you really want," Said Ishin as he hung his head in defeat, "could you at least do me a favor and pick up the groceries. Here's the list of things I need." Ishin handed him a piece of paper,
"Fine," said Ichigo as he took the list and stepped onto the bus. As the doors of the bus closed behind him he gazed at the "list" his father had handed him.
Dear Ichigo, Farewell and good luck at your new school.
-love Dad.
Ichigo finally became aware that he was the only one on the bus besides the creepy looking bus driver as realization finally sunk in.
"Don't worry kiddo," came the voice of the driver, "your dad already loaded all of your things."
And sure enough there, at the back of the bus, was a large stack of bags that no doubt belonged to Ichigo.
"Next stop Youkai Academy"
Ichigo could only stand there as his trademark scowl crawled across his face. He had just been duped, and by his own father of all people.
A/N: so tell me what you think. I want to know.
