AYY! I made a Fanfic! and I have no idea where It's going! (Jk all planned out). I will keep this brief 'cuz story. Enjoy please and thank you! And with that here is a story that my friend challenged me to write, Bleach: A Twisted Tale. In this Ichigo is a bit smarter, (sometimes, (Mostly only in fights)). I felt an urge to write and this is what I wrote. Enjoy

Ichigo's head snapped up as he heard an ear splitting roar that shook his teeth in his head. He leapt out of his bed and grabbed his metal bat. He rushed down the stairs and when he reached the bottom he paused for a moment to take in what he saw. His two sisters were being held up by a gigantic masked… monster which was the only way to describe it.

With a yell he ran at the monster and swung his bat with all his might. The bat seemed to do nothing to the thing other than catch it's attention. Ichigo panted and tried to hit the thing again but with a quickness that was strange for its size it dodged the swing and back-handed Ichigo into the sidewall of the street.

Ichigo grunted and took a staggering step towards the monster as it let loose an unearthly yell. Ichigo was pushed backwards as his eyes widened in shock and fear, the the monster took a second look at Ichigo before throwing Yuzu to the ground where she curled into a ball.

"Ichigo, help" was the small cry from karin stuck under the monsters hand.

Ichigo, letting loose an unearthly yell of his own, charged the monster. He slammed the bat into it but widened his eyes when he saw it had raised a claw like hand and had simply blocked the blow. The monster made a sound, almost like a laugh, as Ichigo tried to get his bat free from the monster's hand. The monster lifted him up and Ichigo, not thinking, decided to hold onto the bat as it seemed like a better weapon than his fists.

The creature let loose it's earth rumbling roar as it smashed him against the pavement, giving him multiple wounds in the process. It lifted the bat again, but Ichigo had let go of the bat sensing an opportunity to save Karin. He was running towards the house, with her in his arms, when he glanced back and saw the masked face of the beast right behind him.

He grunted as it hit him, pushing him and his sister towards a wall. He curled into a ball around his sister to protect her from the impact. When he stood again he was shaky and had no weapon but was determined to win, or at least to protect his family. His eyes widened however when he saw a mysterious man in front of him.

"Would you like power, Ichigo Kurosaki?" The man asked in a silky voice. "Power to protect your friends and family, power to keep them away from harm. It can be yours Ichigo Kurosaki."

"How?" Ichigo mumbled "I can barely stand, and you don't look very powerful."

The man with the silky voice laughed and said with a calm voice, "My name is Aizen, and by impaling yourself on my shinigami blade, you can be powerful enough to do all this and more."

Ichigo took another look at the man and deciding he had no better option said "alright Aizen, I'll play this game, give me the power to protect my friends!" and pierced himself on the blade of the man in front of him. He felt power flood into him, so much power that he felt as if his very core was being pushed to it's very limits.

"What are you doing fool? Stop!" Aizen cried as he felt almost half of his powers sucked into the child in front of him. "I only meant to give him a tenth" the captain thought to himself. The boy had stolen almost half of his power!

Ichigo stood after the smoke cleared in a black shihakusho and had a giant sword, as tall as he was. "Thanks mister Aizen." the teen said, the hollow biding its time realized it's mistake and attempted to run away but ichigo vanishing from it's sight, appeared directly in front of it and swung his sword cleaving the hollow straight down the middle.

Aizen's eyes widened as he saw the boy practically vanish from his sight. "And that wasn't even with flash step!" He applauded as the hollow finished disintegrating and eld up his hand to ward off the incoming questions he knew he would receive from the lad. "Ichigo I am sure you have questions but I cannot answer them. Go to a fellow named Kisuke Urahara at his shop down that way." "when he asks if you know the name of your zanpakuto tell him my name. Do that and you will get all the answers you need."

Ichigo nodded and thanking the man again turned and ran to help his sisters, plowing himself into a wall with his new imperfect speed. "Damn, need to work on that." He thought shaking his head as he slowly stumbled towards Karin. "Don't worry I got you" he murmured as he picked her up using his newfound speed to put her into her bed. He ran back down and repeated the process before he decided to stop and think.

"Should I got try to find that Urahara guy now, OR go back to sleep and try to find him after school tomorrow…" He shrugged and decided to walk towards the direction of the shop according to the guy who had mysteriously disappeared when he had helped his sisters. He no longer felt pain but still felt as though his being was about to burst.

After walking for about 20 minutes he came into a small shop in the back of a kinda suspicious looking alley… "Yeah, this is probably it…" He walked up to the front of the door and stood there for a moment not quite sure if he should knock on the door. "Well, no time like the present." He decide to throw caution to the wind and knocked quietly on the front edge of the door to make a quiet, but distinct, knocking sound. He waited a moment and then knocked a little harder hearing a muffled bump at the sound of his second knock.

"Yare Yare." He heard from inside the shop as he heard an odd wodden clack accompanying each step. "Who could it be at this fine hour?" a sleep bedraggled man with blond hair and a striped hat answered the door. "Oh hello there newcomer! Who might you be?"

"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki, A man told me to ask for your help in getting answers." Ichigo didn't notice the man eye's widen almost imperceptible behind his hand fan, as he was too busy trying to see inside the man's shop.

"Kurosaki, eh?" the man mumbled. "Well come on in we just got a new shipment of soul pagers and we also have our newest and most logical buy, the hollow be gone!" confetti and streamers shot out the sides of the doorway as the man announced his wares one by one to the shell-shocked Ichigo. "... And if you are more interested in our base lineup we can make you a portable Gigai for only 15500 Yen!"

"15500 Yen?!" Ichigo yelped. He didn't know what was going on but a lot of money had just been mentioned.

"Oh come now," the man grinned "that is an excellent price!" Look I'll even throw in the first 3 check ups free!"

"Are you Urahara Kisuke or not Ya crazy bastard?" Ichigo yelled his patience running out. His eye twitched and a vein in his head was dangerously close to bursting. "I don't have time to be screwing around! My family was just attacked and now I have powers that I don't understand and I need you to explain them to me!" He panted slightly after his explosive outburst.

Urahara had dropped his smile a little and sighed, "alright kid come on in, just don't break anything." He showed Ichigo over to the table where he conducted most of his business and kicking off his signature clogs sat down. "So how did you know how to find me?" He asked, knowing that if he had multiple kido setup that hid the shop from people who didn't already know of its existence.

A man told me I could find you if I walked in this direction for long enough… can't remember his name though." he shrugged. The man nodded and it occurred to Ichigo that he was being tested, if that was the case he decided it was a bad test to fail. Ichigo listen to the rest of the shop owner's questions and answered them with the best of his ability.

"Okay kid last question, what is the name of your zanpakuto?" Urahara narrowed his eyes abit when he asked this question.

AND DONE! Holy hell, this was the first time I have written in a bit and IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK! I have always wanted to write something that I was proud of and post it here, and now I have! I'm not really sure how to do this whole, Author's Note thing. Sooo… I guess tell me what you think. I generally just write for fun and/or school. I finally got the courage to write and then post my story for people to gawk at and mock (or enjoy). I am in the process of writing more to this so don't worry, updates will appear! (eventually). Work is by far the biggest obstacle I have to writing as it is right now. I have a boss who is an absolute nightmare to work with, and anytime I do work with him I just get irritated and can't bring myself to write for a bit afterwards.

Moving is going to be the second biggest problem. SO MUCH PACKING! BUT, Enough of my whining. Updates coming soon, to a fic near you!
