The next figure that came into view gave Ichigo the biggest shock. The hair was the most distinct but the thing that froze Ichigo in place was the giant cleaver-like sword strung to his back.
Zangetsu.
What the hell is happening!
Ichigo couldn't believe what he was seeing. Right now, in front of him was…well, himself! Ichigo watched as Urahara opened a gate to Soul Society and looked on as he and his friends jumped into the portal without fully knowing what they were getting themselves into. He watched in horror as events that he'd experienced already, unfolded before his very eyes.
Ichigo, we need to find out what has happened. I will try to conceal your spiritual pressure as much as possible, even though it has grown beyond the sensing abilities that many Shinigami and others are capable of. (1)
He regained control of himself and slowly and quietly, flash stepped closer to Urahara. Ichigo gathered enough bravery and determination and stepped out from behind the rocks. To his astonishment Urahara didn't seem to notice he was there and Ichigo watched as his lifeless body that no longer contained his spirit, but rather Kon's, talk to Urahara who was facing the other way. Ichigo crept back behind the rocks before anyone noticed him. He pondered in his mind what Urahara and Kon were talking about but with the tone of Kon's voice, it was probably something pointless. Ichigo stopped listening and waited, growing ever impatient. His signature scowl shaped his face once more and any evidence of shock was gone.
"…they'll be fine Kon, just be Ichigo for a week or so. That's all you need to do"
Kon sighed impatiently and left the underground basement.
Ichigo waited a little while as Urahara talked with Tessai. He took this moment to think and ponder the situation. He finally gathered enough courage to step and face him properly.
But when Ichigo stepped out from behind the rock, Urahara and the rest were gone. I must have missed them go.
Ichigo, whilst we figure a way to get back to our situation, why don't you search around a bit?
"Okay, but first we need to find Hat n'Clogs"
Ichigo walked towards the stairs that led out of the basement and started the decent out of the underground base. Just before he reached the top a voice called out.
"My my, a visitor. What brings you here friend?" Urahara chanted.
Oh shit, think Ichigo, think! He'll think I'm crazy if I just go outright and tell him…but I suppose it couldn't hurt, what have I got to lose?
"Okay Hat n'Clogs here's the deal; I'll tell you my problem if you promise to hear me out. All the way to the end, you get it"
"Hmm, I'm not sure whether or not I should trust you or not Mr…"
"Kurosaki"
"I'm sorry but you could speak louder, I think I misheard you"
"I said, my name is Kurosaki Ichigo, and you better tell me what the hell is going on"
"Well it sounds to me like you've been brought back in time somehow; I highly doubt that you've been brought to a separate dimension Kurosaki-kun, but it still plausible"
Ichigo told Urahara his story and faltered a few times under Uraharas gaze. He was careful not to give any key facts about the future, even though Urahara did not press. He was just glad to have someone to talk to other than Zangetsu.
"But the most plausible theory is that you aren't even who you claim to be, I doubt you're even a Shinigami, I can't sense your spiritual pressure at all."(2)
Newly angered at this Ichigo sprung to his feet and went to punch Urahara but before he could he felt two, strong muscular arms wrap around him and put him back on the floor.
"Good job, Tessai"
"You're welcome, Urahara" He replied.
Urahara's smile vanished and he turned to Ichigo.
"Why have you come here?"
"I've told you, that's why I asked you"
"I don't believe you, time travel is nor wholly possibly to that extent. You haven't even explained properly everything about yourself. So how am I supposed believe you are who you say who you are"
"I am okay, I just am"
Ichigo figured that he would just have to show Urahara and prove it to him with other methods. He came up with an idea instantly. He should've done this in the first place.
"Let's begin, I want to see who you REALLY are"
Ichigo held a stance and waited for Urahara to attack.
Urahara stood there just as patient as Ichigo, waiting for him to make the first move. He became impatient and charged the former Squad 12 leader, using flash step to get behind him. Urahara was so shocked at this that he nearly forgot to block. This kid shouldn't even be able to wield a sword; he hasn't the slightest amount of spiritual pressure, so how is he doing this!
Urahara figured it was time to get serious.
"Scream, Benihime"
As soon as the words left his lips, his cane transformed and became a slim, but dealy sword. The blade gave off powerful spiritual pressure but Ichigo was not fazed, he'd seen this all before. He increased his speed to just below a flash step level and engaged in a close combat battle with Urahara.
"Benihime, Shred"(3)
The blade automatically gave off dozens of orbs of spiritual energy and Ichigo was hard pressed to dodge them all. One hit him on the shoulder and he was sent sprawling across the rocky floor.
"Well, well, well. It seems you're bark may be worse than your bite, Kurosaki-kun"
"We'll see about that…BAN-KAI"
Urahara watched as dark, pulsating spiritual energy swirled around the read-headed male and twisted around his sword like a tornado as the boy placed his hand on his forearm. White ribbons wrapped themselves around Ichigo and he began to transform.
He can use Bankai!
Impressive, this boy is full of surprises. Well, I confirmed that he was Kurosaki from the start seeming as though he wields the same Zanpaktou. Let's just see what he can do first.
The dark energy stopped spinning and dissipated, showing the newly transformed Ichigo.
What a strange looking Bankai.
"Well, do you believe it now Hat n'Clogs"
"I believed it from the start Kurosaki-kun, I just wanted to see what you can do. We can stop now if you wish."
"I don't think so, I need to repay you for your attack earlier, it' only fair, right?" (4)
He gathered a small amount of his spiritual energy and released it through his sword, pointed directly towards the grinning figure of Kisuke Urahara.
"GETSUGA TENSHO"
The dark energy shot towards the startled ex-captain and hit him square on. An enormous dust cloud was produced because of the attack. Ichigo thought he had won but when the dust cleared, Kisuke Urahara stood behind a wall of red spirit energy.
"Well done, well done. There is no doubt you are who you say you are. But I'm afraid there is only one way I can think of sending you back to where you came from.
"How?" Ichigo asked.
"High-level Kido enchantments should be able to do it, but the preparations for this will take a while, I'm not even sure if they'll work" Urahara stated calmly.
"When will it be ready?"
"I'm not entirely sure but probably in about 72 hours from now"
"Okay, I'll be here"
Ichigo put Zangetsu back where it belonged and turned away from the ex-captain.
"Oh and Kurosaki-kun, don't let anyone else know who you are. Who knows what will happen"
"Yeah, sure"
Ichigo climbed out of the basement and went for a long stroll around town. With my hair like this, no-one will notice who I am anyway.
He may not have gained FGT but he has been "training" with Tensa Zangetsu for a while so his spiritual pressure will have increased
The same reason as (1)
I know he only uses this technique in the 3rd film but I like it so :p
When Urahara used Shred on Ichigo
(Authors Note: Yeah, a lot of loopholes and things wrong with that part of the story. But it's all in a learning process. I'm sorry for all the inconstancies etc but I'm new to this so...)
Thanks for reading, even if it was a waste of time.
Gizmo out.
