XXXXX (Flashback Month & Half ago)
Dirt was flying from the small shockwaves created as three combatants fought, on the Squad Two training field. Members of Squad Two stood nearby watching and cheering for their Captain to win.
Ichigo dodged a flying knee from Soifon, while blocking Yoruichi's punch to his head with his right arm. Ichigo quickly setted up and lifted his leg and and in a swift motion brought his leg down in an axe kick towards Soifon's exposed shoulder. Soifon flattered from the hit to her shoulder and collapsed to the ground with a groan. Yoruichi flash stepped to Ichigo's left side to try and catch him off guard but was caught by his leg pivoting and sending an roundhouse kick towards her ear. She barely blocked but the weight from the kick caused her to stumble and drop to one knee.
"Alright...Ichigo you... win…" Yoruichi breathed out as she finally began to catch her breath. Soifon rolled onto her back and let out a groan.
"Damn Ichigo, how the hell are you still standing?! It started out a three-way spar, but after ten minutes it became a two on one and you're still standing after nearly an hour." Soifon moaned as she felt the soft healing kido begin to work on her bruised body.
Ichigo removed the last remnants of his ruined shirt, revealing his red, blue and deep purple marked upper body. Yoruichi and Soifon both watched as the marks slowly began to vanish, they both raised an eyebrow because they saw no one healing Ichigo yet. Bone white skin filled his chest for a few moments before moving down his right leg.
"I've learned to harden my hierro (steel skin) just before impact of hits or cuts. And I've been slowly using regeneration to heal myself over the fight to stay ahead of you two." Ichigo commented as he tossed a water bottle at both.
Ichigo offered a hand to both women, both women accepted as Ichigo pulled them both to their feet. Once the three of them were standing they formed a small triangle and bowed, thanking each other for the spar. Soifon barked out for squad two to form up and prepare for new orders. Soifon turned and began to move towards her squad when her knee gave out from an earlier low kick from Ichigo, bracing to hit the ground she notices that she is being supported by said person who injured her.
"Commander you should take it easy, and get that looked at. I feel I went a bit to zealous in our spar. Medic please heal Commander Soifon please." Ichigo said while kneeling down to aid Soifon in leaning against him.
Soifon ordered her soldiers to continue their shunpo and hakuda before dismissing them for a few hours. Marechiyo Omaeda runs over to Captain Soifon.
"Forgive me Captain I was busy finishing yesterday's paperwork, and lost track of time." Omaeda notices Soifon is resting on Ichigo while she is being healed. Soifon looks at her lieutenant in annoyance.
"You mean you finally finished the paperwork that I ordered you to have done by 19:00? That means you can work on today's paperwork and have it done by 14:00 and be ready to receive your punishment for failing to complete yesterday's on time!" Soifon barked out.
Omaeda's eyes narrowed as he watched Soifon thank Ichigo for catching her and not letting her fall.
"Captain why are you treating this common up start better than your loyal and faithful lieutenant?" Ichigo snorted at Omaeda's comment.
Soifon and Yoruichi both rolled their eyes.
"Omaeda you been my Lieutenant for what thirty three years now right?" She pauses as she watches Omaeda nod. "Then explain to me why you haven't gone up a rank in the stealth force in over thirty years?! Yet Ichigo over here has been in the stealth force for five and half years, and already reached the rank of assassin, with only two people as his commanders, myself and my vice commander. While you put off your duties and training to sit around and stuff your face, Ichigo has been training in everything he can get his hands on. So that is why I treat him better than you! Unless of course you think you can beat him in a spar, then I'll start treating you better somewhat." Soifon gave an evil smile as she watched Omeada begin to sweat nervously at the thought of fighting Ichigo again.
"Commander let's be real, it would be a wasted effort. We both know that he will never be able to beat me." Ichigo commented as stood up.
Yoruichi was about to say when she was cut off by a loud ringing. Yoruichi looked at Ichigo.
"How do you even have a cellphone that works here?"
"Kisuke."
Pinching the bridge of her nose and letting out a sigh.
"Should have known, well go answer it already. Come on Soifon let's go take a bath and relax." Ichigo picked the phone up that was laying on top of his pack.
"Later Lady Shihoin, Lady Fon." He Ichigo said as he pressed the green accept call button. Soifon yelled.
"That's Commander Soifon to you jackass!" Ichigo could hear laughing on the other end of the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hehe...heh...Hello yes I was calling to speak to a Ichigo Kurosaki?"
"Yes speaking, what can I help you with Miss?"
"Yes I'm Miss. Greysan, I work for the Kuoh district school board. I am calling to inform you that you have an interview this Friday."
"Oh I see,...wait Kuoh Town is a two hour train ride over, from Karakura Town."
"Yes, my boss told me to inform you that he'd pay for your ticket there and back. He believe that it's only fair if you accept to come to the interview."
"Oh ok then that sounds good. Anything to note for this interview?"
"Nothing to big really, just a standard interview. Though you may want to prepare an overnight bag just in the case."
"Ok sounds good. See you Friday , Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Ichigo hangs up the phone and notices he's all alone on the training field. He quickly flash stepped off towards Squad One to inform the Head Captain that he will be leaving soon.

Two hours later Ichigo exited the senkaimon in Kisuke Urahara's underground training room. Ichigo quickly flash stepped up to the main floor. Coming out of the back he stopped beside Kisuke who was watching a mom and her two small kids look around the goods in the shop.
"Kisuke."
"Ichigo."
They said to one another.
"Yoruichi was asking if you could stop by and visit her. Well you and Tessai, something about missing a feeling of home." Ichigo commented as he studied the mom and kids. Kisuke pulled out his paper fan and lightly fanned his face.
"I mean you can even stay at my place, not many knows it location besides those who I have told about it." Kisuke turns and raises an eyebrow at comment.
"How did you manage to hide it from Mayuri?"
Ichigo pulled a spare key and folded up piece of paper from his pack, and handed them to Kisuke. "Go see for yourself, also the three bottle of sake are for her not you. A early birthday present for her."
"An early present? That is like a Friday night for her. But fine I won't drink the sake." Kisuke opened up the piece of paper and began to read the institutions on them to get to Ichigo's house, he looked up to hear a door closing and noticed Ichigo left. "Hmm kid, you sure do have some good taste in places to live."

Ichigo stepped off the train at Kuoh Town, he looked around the station before making his way to the area for taxi. Ichigo noticed a young looking woman with silvery grey hair and bright honey amber eyes watching him. He noticed she wasn't Japanese but he couldn't guess based on her caramel skin tone. She wore a deep purple shirt that revealed a few inches of her modest cleavage, a black skirt that ended just above her knees and black boot that went up just below her knees. She was holding a sign lazily in her left hand that read 'Ichigo Kurosaki' while she studied him.
"Hey king, I don't know who she is but I gotta say I'm enjoying what she is offering." Zangetsu commented from inside Ichigo's inner world.
Ichigo let out a sigh, 'Figures you'd be nearly drooling over her.'
"Do you blame me? I'm created from YOU, I enjoy what you enjoy even if you won't admit to it. You have had all these lovely ladies give you attention but you barely even return even a sliver of it. The only person you really give an attention to is Yoruichi."
'You know why I don't return it, I don't want to hurt anyone when the seal finally breaks. We both know what happens after that.' Ichigo commented as he made his way over to the woman holding the sign.
"Just because you accepted that role, doesn't mean you can't enjoy your life. Beside King, the KING always needs his QUEEN." Zangetsu stated calmly.
Ichigo could feel power coming off this woman but could only tell that it was dark, similar to a hollow. He walked over to her and extended his hand,
"Hello, I'm Ichigo Kurosaki. Nice to meet you…" The woman shook his hand.
"Nice you meet you Ichigo I'm Charlotte Greysan, we spoke on the phone. If you'd please follow me I'll take you to your interview now."
Ichigo raised an eyebrow.
"I thought you were just a secretary that call to book appointments and stuff, I didn't think you would also be picking me up."
Ichigo commented as he placed his bag in the trunk of the car. Miss. Greysan let out a small laugh.
"No I'm the assistant of Mr. Gremory, so I do whatever jobs are required of me. I'm more a jack of trades. Also it's nice to see you have kept that bad boy image after all these years, I was worried the war might have been taken that away from you."
Ichigo's mouth fell open.
"What? What do you mean by that, I don't remember ever meeting you before. And I don't know what you are talking about some war, I've never been." Ichigo half lied to her. Miss. Greysan gave him a sad smile.
"I know about war because I have been myself, your eyes show the effects no matter how much you think they hide it. It's true we have never met before, but you did make a quite mess for that I had to assist in cleaning up about ten years ago." Ichigo looked at her a moment.
"Ten years ago? I don't know what you are talking about." Miss. Greysan flashed a wolfish smile in the rear view mirror.
"I see, well it's fine if you don't wanna talk about your past but I should warn there are others who you are gonna meet today that have other plans for you."
Ichigo let out a heavy sigh.
"So much for a normal job then, based off the power I can feel coming off you and the power I can sense in town I feel like a peaceful life is too much to ask for."
Miss. Greysan gave a small frown.
"That's not very nice. My boss is a very understanding man, he could have had you dealt with ten years ago but decided not too. Ichigo please keep an open mind." She said softly, as she drove towards Kuoh academy. Ichigo rubbed his temples as he looked at the passing town around him.
"I guess it's only fair." He mumbled out.

Miss. Greysan and Ichigo left the car, and began to walk towards what looked like an old school building behind newer school building.
"So...I take it there is a specific reason for not using the main building then?" Ichigo commented as they walked passed it.
"But of course! My boss doesn't want to be disturbed while you have this meeting. So he is having it the place which only one club uses." Miss. Greysan let out a small laugh.
Ichigo kept looking around towards the new school building, but after a few glances he gave up, but noticed.
"There something wrong Ichigo? You seem to be acting a bit odd right now." Charlotte asked curiously.
"I feel like somebody's watching me but I can't seem to pinpoint it. I keep feeling this dark power in the school and the older looking school but no clue what it is." Ichigo commented.
Charlotte said nothing and kept a straight face, but her thoughts were different,
'So he can tell there are others around, but not what we are. This should be an interesting afternoon.' Charlotte lead Ichigo into the old school towards the left wing.
Before knocking on the door, she turned and faced Ichigo. "Remember Ichigo please keep an open mind." Charlotte knocked before Ichigo could reply.
The door opened and Ichigo noticed that they were in a classroom that seemed to be converted to a meeting room, with a long table in the middle with chairs around both sides. There were three people facing the door, he could feel the same dark power coming off each of them, he noticed two were male and one was a woman. The first man on the left side had long crimson red hair that was tied back in a ponytail, bright sea blue eye, and small crimson red beard. He was wearing a dark grey suit with a white shirt and black tie. The man in the middle was almost a spitting image of the man to his left, shoulder length crimson red hair, blue-green eyes. He wore a black suit and dress shirt and had a crimson red tie on. The woman was seated on the right side, she had long silver hair that was tied in a single braid, she had silver eyes. She was wearing a black suit jacket, a white dress shirt, a thin black tie, a black skirt that stopped a few inches above her knees, black stocking and wore a pair of black flats on her feet. Charlotte began to introduce the people sitting at the table.
"Mr. Kurosaki, I'd like to introduce you to Zeoticus Gremory, Sirzechs Lucifer and Grayfia Lucifuge, wife of Sirzechs."
Each person gave a nod as their was spoke.
Grayfia sent a small glare towards Charlotte.
"Ah Mister Kurosaki please have a seat and we will begin momentarily. And Charlotte if you could please return right away to the estate, it seems a stray has made itself known while you were waiting for Mister Kurosaki to arrive." Zeoticus said.
Charlotte pouted and let out a small sigh, "As you wish Zeoticus, hope this isn't the last time I see you Ichigo."
Charlotte conjured a red magic circle and vanished in a bright light. Ichigo lowered his arm from covering his eyes from the bright light.
"So...umm, what was that?" He asked confused as his mind was trying to figure out what was going on.
"That was a very bad example of magic Mister Kurosaki. Well might as well drop another bomb on you, we are devils." Zeoticus stated calmly. Ichigo wordlessly moved to sit down in the chair and flopped down unceremoniously staring at the three people blankly, he accepted the bottle of water that was placed in front of him.
"Thanks." Ichigo mumbled out. Sirzechs let out a small laugh,
"You are taking this fair better than we had thought you would."
Ichigo's mind was racing trying to figure out what to do or say.
"Hey king."
"..."
"Heeyy Kinggg."
"..."
"DAMNIT KING! Get over it already! It's like being told hollows and shinigami were real for the first time." Zangetsu said.
'This isn't like finding out they were real! I was just told that the rulers of hell are real! This is much worse!' Ichigo stated back, while trying to focus his mind back to the task at hand.
"Zeoticus I think you may have broken the young man, maybe should have eased him into that bombshell a bit more." Grayfia stated as she studied Ichigo. The reality of everything came crashing down on Ichigo.
"You're Lucifer...oh shit. Are you here to claim my soul? Was the whole job interview just a scheme to get me here so could take me to hell?" Ichigo asks in confusion.
"Well in reality we would like to understand your reasons for breaking into the pits of we didn't lie when we had stated there was a job interview for you. And before you ask no we aren't dragging you to Hell." Sirzechs stated, as he opened a folder, revealing a bunch of photos and some documents.
Ichigo looked at the folder that was laying in front of him, photos of him fighting sinners in Karakura Town. Other photos of him, Rukia, Renji, and Uryu with Kokuto making there way into the depths of hell. Another photo with Ichigo in his Vasto Lorde hollow form holding Yuzu while charging a massive cero. A photo shows the Gates of Hell being destroyed from a cero. A photo depicts Kokuto cutting down Renji and Uryu as they try to help Ichigo regain control. A photo shows Ichigo and Yuzu being sent back to the world of the living. Another photo shows Ichigo returning to the depths of Hell. A different photo shows Ichigo struggling to keep control while in Vasto Lorde form. Another shows the Kushanada surrounding Ichigo and Kokuto, with one Kushanada about to slam it's hand down on Ichigo. The next photo shows gold light dissolving the Kushanada, with its power flowing into Ichigo. The next photo reveals Ichigo in golden armour, with Rukia kneeling behind him clutching the former location of her hell chain. The second last photo shows Ichigo attacking Kokuto while he is charging at him. The final photo show Kokuto bound in chains about to be dragged deeper into the pits of Hell.
Ichigo looks up from the photos and see the three devils are staring at him with neutral expressions.
"So...what would you like to know first?" Ichigo asked as he tried to studied the unreadable expressions on each face. Sirzechs spoke first.
"I'd like to understand why exactly you were targeted to begin with, yes I understand you are strong. But even we knew you were losing your powers. So it was a massive gamble to even seek you out." Ichigo drummed his fingers against the table.
"I was targeted because in my Vasto Lorde form." Ichigo holds up the photo of him charging a cero.
"I had unmeasurable power at my disposal. So they figured they could force me into destroying the Gates of Hell by kidnapping my sisters. But as we both know that isn't how it truly works."
Zeoticus and Grayfia let out a hum of agreement, Sirzechs nodded his head in understanding.
"I see so you are a brother willing to any lengths to keep his sisters safe. I just have one more question about your trip to Hell. Do you plan ever going back and making a mess for me to clean up again?"
Grayfia lets out a snort, "What do you mean you cleaned up? I remember assigning your pawns and rook to deal with the mess that Mr. Kurosaki created, sounds very similar to what you would do to keep Rias safe."
Sirzechs turns to look at Grayfia.
"Of course I'll do anything to keep Rias safe she is my little sister. But we are getting off topic. Mr, Kurosaki, do you truly ever plan to return to Hell for your own desires?"
Ichigo stared at Sirzechs for a moment.
"I have no plans to ever return to Hell, unless someone tries to kidnap my sisters... again. But I do have a question for you Sirzechs."
Sirzechs nodded.
"That is a fair reason Mr. Kurosaki, I totally understand your reasoning. And what is your question?"
"Who is the person in charge of keeping sinners in Hell?"
The three of them blink and Zeoticus and Grayfia turn towards Sirzechs who is tapping his index fingers together looking around the room nervously.
"W-well you see it is my job as Lucifer, but in all fairness they had only just managed to escape from Hell, and by the time we had them located they were already back in Hell with you and your friends." Ichigo nodded at this information.
"So now what?" Sirzechs turned towards his father and motioned with his hands that it was his turn.
"Right I guess it's time to get to the second part of this, the job interview, or rather job offer. You see based on your resume and schooling you have everything needed to hired, and based off your grades in the school placement you did remarkably well. So that fine with me, besides there is more to this job then just being a teacher."
Ichigo's eyes widen in surprise, "What do you mean more than just a teaching job?"
"Well my daughter is heiress to our clan, and well she tends to get into a bit of trouble when she takes on strays. You see her peerage is small and quite young, meaning they all lack some experience in the field. What we want from you is to be more or less a guardian to them." Zeoticus stated, while he studied Ichigo.
"Umm what is a peerage? And do I have to train them?" Sirzechs took this opportunity to explain to Ichigo what a peerage is and what they do to serve in the underworld. They were briefly shocked at the flare of power from Ichigo when he heard some were forced against their will to join a peerage.
"As for training that is totally up to you, but isn't going to be forced onto you. I know you will have other things to deal with, so you can leave any training to Rias and Akeno." Ichigo nodded.
"That seems fair, I'll help them if they ask and offer tips and what not."
Zeoticus clapped his hands together.
"Excellent, sounds good. We will need to fill out some paperwork to make everything official and what not. Also we can give you a basic overview of the underworld as it today. Oh also what are your plans for this evening?" Ichigo looked up from the forums in front of him.
"I don't really, I need to message someone in Kyoto about this job offer, but I don't think it will be a problem. After that probably find a hotel and dinner." Ichigo commented, while Sirzechs flashed a devilish smiled.
"Well how about dinner with us tonight? This way you can meet Rias and her peerage and learn more about the underworld." Ichigo thought it over for a few seconds.
"That sounds like a fair offer, but how do I get to the underworld?" Grayfia pulled a flyer with the Gremory family seal on it.
"At 5:30 hold this and say I want to make a deal, after a few seconds Rias will accept it and be summoned to your location." Ichigo picked up the flyer for a few seconds.
"Alright sounds good, so I guess I'll be seeing you a bit later then. Thank you for the job." Ichigo extended his hand,Zeoticus shook first, followed by Sirzechs and Grayfia.
"Enjoy the rest of your afternoon Ichigo and we will see you later." Zeoticus said with a friendly smile.
