Chapter 2: Gathering the Peerage

Staring at the two ex captains of Soul Society Ichigo just shook his head. Things that Kisuke does should really stop surprising him by now. But he always has to pull something out of his ass that one ups the previous crazy things that he's done. Ichigo should really stop caring but Urahara's stupidity is just too much to handle, and thus answers one of the million questions of life. Why does Yoruichi constantly beat up Kisuke? Simple, because he's a fucking moron. For being the smartest man of all Soul Society his stupidity could rival that of Keigo. He really will never understand Kisuke. Putting his concentration on said afterlife's smartest dumbass Ichigo asked, "When have you set for me to leave?"

Whipping out his fan and waving it around with more energy than any man his age should have. Cause honestly human men over one hundred and fifty years old are usually six feet under, Kisuke replied, "You'll be leaving in two days' time and you'll be traveling all over Asia and Europe probably. Just make sure you pack properly you will be gone for a year."

Nodding his head in understanding he got up and left but not before he sucker punched Kisuke into the wall get a groan from said shop keeper and flabbergasted look from Yoruichi. Seeing said Shihōin princess giving him a questioning look, Ichigo just answered, "Two things, one he was going to say something stupid I just had that feeling and two I wanted to have the last hit in."

Yoruichi smiled and gave Ichigo a small laugh. "True enough, now get going I'll see you in two days to see you off."

Giving the werecat a nod of recognition Ichigo then left to pack for his year long journey. As soon the two time war hero left, Yoruichi looked over at Kisuke, "How do you think he'll do?"

Gaining a serious look he responded, "Knowing that Ichigo is a force to be reckoned with I have high hopes that his small group will also strike fear into his enemies plus this helps him out too."

"How so?"

"You know how his favorite past time is knocking Captain Kuchiki around or just knocking some sense into him through the applied application of violence?"

Getting a nod of confirmation from the resident werecat Kisuke continued, "Well let's just say when not if but when he meets the high class devils this gives him a chance to play their games and show them that the shinigami even though are weakened are not to be trifled with… plus he gets to knock some nobles around that always seem to look down on him, I'd say it's a win-win don't you think?"

Yoruichi just rolled her eyes and kicked Kisuke into the ground again for being well… Kisuke. Said werecat walked into the backroom and took her peaceful cat nap but not before hearing Kisuke whine, "Mou, why is everyone hitting me today?"

"Probably because you tend to annoy and piss people boss," answered the burly man known as Tessai.

"What? You too Tessai, this is definitely a cruel place for viciously handsome and humble shop keepers like myself!"

Tessai just walked out the room leaving the self-proclaimed viciously handsome and humble shop keeper to his own machinations.

(Page Break)

The walk to Ichigo's temporary apartment was uneventful. He kept up his usual scowl like he always did not caring what others thought of his vicious yet handsome features. He just heard the usual gossip on the walk home like he did in Karakura town. People commenting on his scowl, having orange hair and overall just looking like a delinquent. It was a shame people only judge a book by its cover and not the content of what's inside.

Coming to his apartment on the fourth floor of the six floor building he stood in front of a blue door that had his last name on it with the number forty six in gold letters. Looking down Ichigo lifted the brown floor mat and found the key. Unlocking both the door lock and deadbolt Ichigo put the key back and walked through the door. As he took his shoes off Ichigo automatically could tell something was off. Where the hell is the giant man child flying at him to greet him like the idiot he was? Taking a few cautious steps forward Ichigo narrowed his eyes as he carefully watched every area of the hall. Out of nowhere two small blurs came and crashed into him yelling his name. One black the other light brown.

Looking down Ichigo see that it's his little sisters crying and hugging him like their life depended on it. These were the two Ichigo swore to protect with his life, Karin and Yuzu.

Karin has dark grey eyes and wears her hair in a short ponytail. She is wearing her school uniform, a blue and white sailor fuku. Karin is thirteen years old and stands at four feet, five and a half inches and weighs about sixty eight pounds.

Yuzu's appearance is a stark contrast to her sisters. She has light brown hair which is shoulder length and styled it in two pigtails with her hair clip on the right pigtail. She, like Karin, is wearing a sailor fuku for school. Yuzu is thirteen like her sister and stands at four feet, six inches and weighs about sixty eight pounds.

Ichigo smiled softly as he held his sobbing sister. He rocked them back and forth quietly whispering in their ear, "Shh… Yuzu, Karin I'm here it's alright."

"Promise that *sob* you won't scare us like that again Ichigo," cried Yuzu

Knowing that he wouldn't fool Karin into believing that someone else won't come after him or his friends Ichigo decided to placate Yuzu for now then do the same with Karin later. Looking yuzu in the eyes with the soft smile he usually reserves for his family and very close friends he rubbed the tears off her face and replied, "I promise."

Yuzu hugged her brother once more before mumbling, "Thank you," then nodding off to sleep. Picking up Yuzu he brought her to her room and put her in bed and came out to the apartment's living room where Karin was waiting for him.

Looking her brother in the eyes she said, "I won't make you promise me something nearly as impossible as Yuzu did knowing how reckless you are and how trouble loves to find you…"

"Thanks," was the interrupted reply with a sweat drop.

"… I just want you to promise not to keep me in the dark anymore, I can't stand the fact that you're out there fighting god like beings and not knowing what's going on. I know you want to keep Yuzu and I safe from the world your involved in but after pretty much seeing our home get nuked for a lack of better word I can't help but worry about you Ichigo… We already lost mom to that world I can't lose you to so please all I'm asking is for you to fill us in on what happens."

Sighing to himself Ichigo looked back at his sister, "Alright but for me to explain the entire situation dad is going to have to explain the beginning."

"Dad?"

Out of the corner stepped out Isshin Kurosaki. He is a tall, muscular man with spiky black hair and brown eyes. He has thin facial hair around his mouth and on his cheeks. He has the appearance of a man in forties although he is over a hundred years old. He stands at six feet and one inch and weighs about a hundred and seventy-six pounds. He is wearing the standard Shinigami Shihakushō, along with a tattered captain's haori, worn like a sash and fastened over his left shoulder.

"Yes Karin this fool we call a dad is actually a shinigami and was once a captain of the tenth division."

Sitting down next to Ichigo, Isshin began to explain everything with him being the head of the noble Shiba clan, to becoming a captain to the meeting with Masaki to saving her life and finally falling in love with her. This was where Ichigo took over and explained what he saw the day their mother died, skipping ahead to when he was fifteen to getting his powers from Rukia, then invading Soul Society with his friends, to explaining the bounts to the Vizards and Arrancars and explaining the invasion of Hueco Mundo and the battle over Karakura and sealing Sosuke Aizen, then was the seventeen years of powerlessness having lost his powers using the Final Getsuga Tensho. He then explained running into Kugo Gingo and their abilities of Fullbring and the betrayal of Gingo and his death at the hands of Ichigo. Then finally came the hard part, The Thousand Year Blood War. How the Quincies attacked the seireitei to Ichigo's training in the soul palace and learning Yhwach's origin as the son of the soul king and their final battle which resulted in Ichigo killing the emperor and half of the remaining Quincies since Kenpachi Zaraki went ape shit on the other half. Then followed Ichigo's new mission from Hat n' Clogs and the fact he was leaving for a year in two days' time to travel and gather the appropriate members for his peerage.

Rubbing her temples in annoyance Karin asked, "So you're going out to do your other world thing again in two days?"

"Yeah, but I'll be back in a year, that was the time dad gave me to gather my new allies and so he has time to put me in a new school since our last one went up in flames."

"Ugh, Ichigo!"

"What?"

"Too soon to be making puns like that when the whole city is just a giant crater."

"Alright, alright sorry."

"You'll spend as much time as possible with Yuzu and I before you leave right?"

Giving her one of his few genuine smiles, "Of course."

2 days later

It has been a hectic two days for Ichigo making sure the twins were their happiest. He'd do anything for them he is their older brother. Reaching the infamous candy shop Ichigo was lead to the back by Tessai where he saw Urahara at the table and Yoruichi in her cat form taking her so called cat nap.

"Are you all packed and ready for your year of misadventures and other exciting things that you probably won't tell anyone about," asked Kisuke.

Letting out an exasperated sigh, "Urahara."

"Yes?"

Ichigo then gave him a hard uppercut and said, "Shut the fuck up and stop insinuating things."

Getting up from the hit Kisuke began acting childishly again, "Mou~ Ichigo is so mean to me!"

"Yeah, yeah I'm an asshole tell it to someone who gives a shit about your feelings."

"Oh Ichigo you wound me with your words!"

"Get on with it Hat n' Clogs you called me over here through murder scene writing with the blood on the wall for a reason so get on with it."

"Oh right, you can come in now Sado."

Stepping into the room was Ichigo's longtime friend and brother, Yasutora Sado or as some people call him, Chad. Chad is a teenager of Mexican descent. He is dark-skinned with pronounced cheek-bones and has wavy brown hair with bangs that generally hangs over his brown eyes. He is a muscular and extremely tall man and appears to be much older than he actually is, it doesn't help that he also has a small goatee on his chin. Chad has a tattoo on his left shoulder which reads Amore e Morte (AN: "love and death" in Italian) and consists of a heart with a snake and angel wings around it. Chad wears a pair of black pants with white tribal designs going down the sides. He also wears a tight white sleeveless shirt that pronounces his muscles and a baggy red jacket and on the back of the jacket was a red shield similar to the shield that is his fullbring with a white devils skull inside the shield.

"Chad," exclaimed Ichigo, "What're you doing here?"

"I will always have your back Ichigo even when you faced Yhwach I had your back don't think I'm going to sit by and just watch."

Smiling at his best friend/brother Ichigo looked at Chad, "I know Chad, I meant how did you know I'd be here today?"

Chad pointed his thumb at Urahara. It was a simple message but Ichigo understood what he meant automatically, "Urahara told you about the mission I'm guessing?"

Getting a nod of confirmation from the Mexican giant Ichigo asked another question, "And I'm guessing he told you everything?" getting another positive nod Ichigo asked his final question, "Then Chad will you do me the honor of being my first comrade of my peerage and be my rook?"

Smiling at the two time war hero Chad answered, "Do you even have to ask?"

Smiling right back at the giant Ichigo opened the creepy looking briefcase and took out one of the rook pieces. Approaching Chad, Ichigo flowed some of his reiatsu into the piece and chanted, "I, Ichigo Shiba Kurosaki ask of thee, Yasutora 'Chad' Sado to fight by my side as my comrade and together show the world a new beginning." The piece then glowed and floated towards Chad. As the rook piece entered his body he felt a power increase along with a black skull tattoo similar to Ichigo's appear on his neck.

Seeing the process done Kisuke clapped his hands together and whipped out his fan waving it like an idiot, "Congratulations Ichigo on getting your very first member of your peerage and congratulations to you Sado for being the first member. Now you both know you have a year to gather as many possible members as possible correct?"

Seeing they both nod in agreement Kisuke continued, "Good and please don't try to leave craters all over the world you two have destructive tendencies that end up leaving your mark somewhere."

Ichigo's eye twitched at that but otherwise remained silent since he knew Urahara was right even if his pride wouldn't admit it. Chad and Ichigo grabbed their bags and left. As soon as the door closed Yoruichi yawned and open her left eye. Turning her left eye at Kisuke she asked, "So what do you think so far?"

Stifling a small chuckle Kisuke answered, "Probably a band of misfits that will cause chaos and destruction everywhere if no one will keep them in check but knowing Ichigo he has a knack for causing chaos and destruction himself."

Yoruichi giggled to herself simply agreeing to the old pervert of a hermit, she couldn't wait and see what Ichigo got for allies.

3 Weeks Later

Three weeks later we find our duo in Hokkaido, Japan. Walking around just looking for anyone of interest like they have been for the past three weeks but still nothing has popped up. Sighing in annoyance Ichigo said, "I don't think what we're doing is working Chad."

"…I'd have to agree," replied the giant.

"Well since we're here we might as well visit the Ebetsu Jinja Shrine." Seeing Chad had a raised eyebrow he decided to elaborate, "When I was younger this is the shrine my mother always took me too I just figured I'd pay my respects since Karakura is a crater and even though the cemetery was on the most outside part of the city, I don't know if it survived due to the town being quarantined and under investigation."

Chad nodded his head in understanding. As the two got closer they felt something was very off. Once they entered within two miles of the shrine the place was void of any and all human presence and the energy in the air was dark and kept getting darker. Getting a bad feeling Ichigo and Chad started running. Once they reached the outside the shrine they saw it was surrounded by a purple barrier that they couldn't pass through and if they really concentrated they could see fire and earth being thrown around like it was an everyday thing. Ichigo looked over at his brother and yelled, "Chad do it!"

Nodding his head Chad concentrated his reiatsu into his left arm. When his arm had the required amount of power Chad quietly said, "Brazo Izquierda del Diablo," this is also translated to left arm of the devil. Chad's left arm is mostly white with a horn coming out of his shoulder, a red marking circles around his shoulder's horn and goes down his arm and stops to look like an arrow on the back of his hand. Putting his right hand on the barrier Chad brought back his left arm. When the arm was fully cocked backed he brought is forward and punched the barrier. A crack went all around the barrier and when it got to the other side the barrier exploded and Chad yelled, "LA MUERTE!"

Seeing the barrier shatter like that Ichigo whistled in approval and got a grunt of thank you from Chad. Running up the stairs as fast as they could to stop what was happening. When they reached the top what Ichigo saw pissed him off to no end a demonic looking teenager on top of a rock golem had a fairly attractive teenage looking woman pinned and was about to get impaled by two rock spikes.

The demonic looking teenager has long ears, two horns on his head, an alligator-like tail, and muscular arms, all of which are green with red markings. He stands at five feet, eight inches. He wears a jacket that has cross bones as buttons. He also wears green arm warmers and a black and pink short sleeved shirt under his jacket, which is ripped at the ends. His sleeves are also rolled up. (AN: Search Amaimon under Blue Exorcist wiki for clearer picture)

The teenage girl had beautiful black hair that flowed down to her waist and two black fox like ears on top of her head. She also had nine white tails coming out of her lower back. She has amber eyes and three whisker like markings on each side of her face. She wears a red strapless shirt that showed off her impressive bust and slim arms, the bottom of the dress was white and covered just enough not to flash anyone.

The Demon looked over at the two 'humans' and was shocked to see that they broke his barrier. Thinking it was just luck the demon snarled, "I am Amaimon Demon king of earth and seventh son of Satan, after I take care of this fox I'll be coming after you two."

(Play: Bleach OST Treachery)

The demon then threw his two rock spikes at the fox. The fox girl closed her eyes ready to embrace death but after a few seconds nothing came, no pain no nothing. Opening her eyes she was surprised to see the two 'humans' were able to stop the attacks. The gigantic Latino did it with a shield that appeared on his arm and the orange headed one stopped it with his bare hand. But now that she got a better look at him his outfit was completely different gone were the blue jeans, red shirt and black jacket. He was in his Shihakushō with a sword on his back and one on his hip.

The spikes then crumbled completely shocking both the demon king and the nine tailed fox. The enraged King of Earth had his golem throw a fist at Chad who blocked it with his defensive arm 'Brazo Derecha de Gigante.' The golem then threw its other arm at Chad to end him quickly. But the arm was decisively cut off by Ichigo with a use of shunpo and a slash of his blades.

Seeing Ichigo as the bigger threat the golem then turned his attention towards him and went to stomp on him. Ichigo preformed an X block with his Zangetsus and promptly stopped the attacked. Chad jumped up from behind Ichigo with his reiatsu flowing off his Brazo Derecha de Gigante. Thrusting his right arm of the giant towards the golem Chad said, "El Directo!"

A giant ball of spirit energy launched itself at the golem and piercing it. After a few seconds the golem collapsed leaving a shocked and infuriated Amaimon. Looking up and taking a deep breath Amaimon let out a loud demonic roar, "ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!"

The earth began to shake creating a miniature earthquake but not big enough to cause any worry. The shrine's ground then burst open revealing several hundred hobgoblins and five behemoths. The goblins have small, round bodies with short, stubby hind legs and thick forelegs/arms which they run on and use to grasp things akin to a primate and they come in various colors and sizes. The behemoths are just larger versions of the goblins. (AN: Look them up on Blue Exorcist wiki for clearer picture)

The army of goblins charged at the two. What transpired could only be described as a one sided massacre as Ichigo and Chad destroyed their opponents. Ichigo hacked and slashed with grace not seen since his battle with Juha Bach. While Chad punched, kicked and blasted the goblins with sheer brutality. Within minutes the army of goblins were gone leaving the five behemoths and Amaimon himself.

All five behemoths charged at once. Three of them went at Ichigo and the other two at Chad. Over with Chad he blocked an attack using the cross guard but before he could counterattack the other one was already up on him. The beast opened his mouth with the intention of eating the fullbringer. At the last second he brought fourth his arm of the giant and blasted an El Directo into the beasts stomach seeing as he ducked underneath so not to get eaten. This killed the first behemoth sending green blood everywhere. The other behemoth became enraged at his comrade's death and roared, but this was its fatal mistake. With the use of bringer light the left arm of the devil materialized on Chad and punched the behemoth on the forehead as he yelled, "LA MUERTE!"

A giant skull then appeared on the ground and the behemoth exploded in dazzling green blood, vaporizing the body. Over with Ichigo, The three behemoths charged him. One from the front and one from each side. Seeing the use of tactics a bit Ichigo decided to use a bit of his own. Putting his hands on the ground Ichigo said, "Bakudō #21: Sekienton!" A large red smoke covered him and the area around him obscuring him from his enemy's line of sight.

With a burst of shunpo Ichigo attacked the behemoth to his left slicing it down the middle cleanly. As one of the remaining two lunged at him Ichigo launched himself in the air. The two behemoths jumped in the air hoping to take him out. As one of the behemoths opened its mouth expecting a meal it got punched in the nose flipping it upside down. Driving said behemoth down at the other still approaching behemoth Ichigo sent an axe kick at the one he just flipped and sent that behemoth on a collision course with the other one. The two behemoths met head on causing a small shock wave. When the two hit the ground Ichigo started charging condensed reiatsu into his palm forming a red ball. Ichigo muttered, "Cero," and launched it at them one of the behemoths leapt out of the way but the other was not so lucky being burnt to a crisp and leaving a good size crater."

The last behemoth growled at Ichigo but found its face in the ground seeing Ichigo performed an elbow driver into the beast's head and cracked its skull. The beast got up wearily but a second later it was in excruciating pain as Ichigo's hand was in its skull and was attempting to make the behemoth go pop by expanding his reiatsu into its body. What made the behemoth feel true fear was not the pain but the cold emotionless eyes Ichigo had. After a minute the screaming stopped as the behemoth popped in exciting green goo.

Seeing his forces defeated so easily, Amaimon growled and then charged at Ichigo just as he was about to hit Chad blocked the attack by catching his fist with his devil arm. Chad then kicked away the demon king of earth. Using his other arm to soften the blow the demon jumped backed a bit after the impact. Looking up Amaimon saw Ichigo already in the process of swinging his hollow blade at Amaimon with a charged getsuga in it. At the last second the demon caught it burning his hands from the getsuga.

Chad then appeared behind Amaimon and launched a point black El Directo and Ichigo unleashed the unnamed getsuga causing a giant explosion. When the smoke cleared a bloodied and bruised Amaimon was on one knee refusing to give up. Seeing to point in dragging this out Ichigo made a cross of spirit energy and launched it at Amaimon and said, "Getsuga Juujishou!"

Just before the attack made contact the heard three rather peculiar words, "Eins, zwei, drei." After the explosion the two saw a weird cuckoo clock dragging Amaimon in it and trapping him in it. The weird clock then disappeared into a weird man's hat.

(Song end)

The saw a man with dark purple hair and forest green eyes. He is also tall, having a height of six feet, five inches. He is wearing an elegant white outfit that consists of a white top hat with pink and purple around the base, purple gloves, a tie that is pink with white dots, a white suit-shirt and undershirt, jester-style pants, and pointed shoes.

The rather demonic looking man looked at the teens and smiled, "Greetings gentleman I am Mephisto Pheles, I do apologize for my brothers rather rash actions in this incident and as family would hate to see him day, if you'd be so kind to look past this incident and I'll walk away and punish by younger brother here."

Chad looked at Ichigo and Ichigo waved him off letting them go as the pleased. Smiling even bigger Mephisto thanked the two teenagers and was off on his own way. Ichigo nodded at Chad which somehow Chad knew that meant wait while he tried to calm down to fox girl. Don't as it's a bro thing.

Approaching the fox girl Ichigo took the time to size her up and the only thought for some reason was how beautiful she was how elegant she seemed and why does she have a small blush… she is blushing right?

Softening his expression to one more comforting Ichigo asked, "Are you okay?"

He got a simple nod.

"Do you know why he attacked you?"

"…"

"Can you say again?"

"…"

"Sorry one more time."

"This temple is a holy ground and my home and when those goblins started showing up trying to make this a throne for Amaimon I wanted to protect it, but now… my I have no home."

"Oh I'm sorry if you like you can come with us and I promise to protect you."

The small blush got noticeably darker at those words, "Will you help me?"

"I'll do anything to make you feel better than you do right now."

Darker blush… Kami dammit Ichigo you and your words. "Can I come with you since I have no where left to go and please help me become stronger?"

"Of course, now can I ask you something?"

"Yes."

"Since you want to come with us would you like to be a part of my peerage?"

"Peerage?! Are you one of those nasty devils?"

"What no? I'm a shinigami; do you have something against devils?"

"They got me kicked out of the Yokai clan in Kyoto just to join their peerage forcefully; I've been on the run since."

"Well in my peerage it's not about a servitude attitude we are more comrades in arms who take care of each other, we are like a family everyone is equals there's no master servant bullshit I'm against that."

"A family huh? I think I'd like that."

"Great my name is Ichigo and what is yours?"

"Ahri."

"… Alright are you ready to become part of the family?"

Ahri nodded her head vigorously and Ichigo brought out his bishop piece. Ichigo put some of his reiatsu into the piece. The moment to piece started to glow he began his chant, "I, Ichigo Shiba Kurosaki ask of thee, Ahri to fight by my side as my comrade and together show the world a new beginning."

The piece flowed into Ahri's chest the moment it felt her consent and she was granted a power increase that was much to her liking. She was also granted with a black skull tattoo like Chad and Ichigo on the inside of her right breast. Seeing the ritual done Ichigo smiled a few rare genuine soft smiles and said, "Welcome to the family Ahri."

Walking away from the temple Ichigo introduced Ahri to Chad who was waiting for them at the bottom of the steps. After a few minutes Ichigo asked, "So how did that devil get you kicked out?" seeing the girl having an internal struggle whether or not to tell him Ichigo rubbed her back slowly in a circular motion and said, "You don't have to tell me now… when you're ready I'm here."

Ahri gave him a soft smile and thanked him for being patient on a touchy subject.

4 weeks later- Yokai Realm of Romania

In the past four weeks Chad and Ichigo got to know Ahri a bit better through talking and training. Ichigo found out early on that she loves to cuddle him. How she always found her way to his bed in the middle of the night will be a mystery to him. Out of the nine tailed fox yokais she is considered the strongest. The only reason the demon got the upper hand according to her is that she got overconfident in herself and didn't sense an attack approaching from behind.

Ahri is a very happy girl who had very strong abilities. She never took anything for granted and took life as it came at her. Ichigo and Chad were glad they didn't have to constantly order room service since they now had Ahri who knew how to cook. But unfortunately when Chad was out she would pull the naked apron giving Ichigo a heart attack. Battling a god in a fight to the death, no problem! Sexy fox lady in only an apron, heart attack. The logic of Ichigo is just weird.

Currently we find our newly formed trio in the realm that Ahri was born. The Yokai Realm, currently they were in the Romanian Yokai Realm. Like the countries have borders there are Yokai Realms for each country, specifically for the Yokai in these countries who don't like human interaction or are hiding from said humans.

The three walked along talking about trivial things like food, likes family but the past of Ichigo and Ahri was a strict no go zone since Ichigo's was filled with nothing but pain and suffering. The same could be said about Ahri but hers was more about betrayal. Chad being the quiet giant he was knew of Ichigo's past and how it all started when he was nine and having experienced everything with him since Ichigo saved him from under the bridge the rest was history. But when asked about his past he just grunted or hummed so Ichigo would fill her in if chad was okay with it.

All of a sudden the three stopped when the felt an extremely strong demonic energy permeate through the air which was soon followed by a massive earthquake that if a Richter scale was available it measure around a 9.4. The tectonic plates did a major shift and the land started to change drastically. As the three struggled to keep their balance the land got more violent in its shifts. But after a good three minutes the shifts stopped but were followed by the demonic energy spiking higher followed by an unearthly howl, "ROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

Chad physically flinched at the beasts roar, Ichigo remained impassive seeing how he fought someone with greater amount of energy than this beast. But Ahri who was a legendary nine tailed fox was visibly shaking. Being in tuned to nature energy and the negative emotions of the world along with the ability to use senjutsu and youjutsu Ahri was in a terrible state. Seeing her in this state really bothered Ichigo and now was the time to fulfill his promise to protect her. She was precious to him after all.

Looking over to Chad he saw a bit of sweat on his forehead and new whatever this thing was putting Chad on edge. Chad was rarely on edge which made room for concern. Going over to Ahri he embraced her and let his reiatsu to flow around them. After Ahri physically calmed down he looked over to Chad.

"Chad I'm going to check this thing, whatever it is out I want you to prioritize on keeping Ahri safe. She may look fine physically but I don't know about emotionally. I want you to back me up only if necessary but you're to prioritize on keeping her safe."

Chad nodded his head and in a flash of shunpo Ichigo was off in the direction where the roars were coming from. Upon arrival Ichigo was shocked to see giant tentacle looking things appear out of the ground and attacking the castle it was surrounding. The unusual sight made Ichigo a bit tenser then he has in the past few weeks. Out of nowhere a skeletal looking hand rose from the ground and from the hand he heard a distinctive female scream, "Kyaaaa!"

(Play Bleach OST Shadow's Masquerade)

Before anything else Ichigo appeared and cut down the smaller tentacles that wrapped around the silver haired girl. Bringing her near the black haired girl, Ichigo nodded his head and dashed off in a frenzy at the monster before the black hair could say anything. If this orange haired dual wielding person wanted to die to Alucard all the more power to him her main concern was the silver haired girl.

The monster who automatically sensed Ichigo's massive pools of energy ignored the smaller energies of the two girls and went after him. Ichigo Dodged, duck, dived and weaved out of the way of the hundreds of tentacles. Soon he was surrounded by the tentacles with nowhere to move. Ichigo held hollow Zangetsu sideways in front of him and Quincy Zangetsu sideways behind him. Spinning rapidly Ichigo shouted, "Getsuga Tensho!"

A getsuga from each blade shot out forming a circle around him and expanding eradicating the tentacles. The tentacles that were damaged and not vaporized regenerated. Not as fast as hollow Zangetsu did but still fairly quickly. Sensing a massive tentacle about hit from behind Ichigo turned towards the attack about to counter with hollow Zangetsu and a charged getsuga but the tentacle was vaporized by a kick from a woman with long pink hair reaching her waist, a maroon bow that held her hair up a bit and was wearing leather top and short shorts. Giving a quick thanks Ichigo turned around and saw several small tentacles coming at them.

Concentrating his reiatsu into a rod shape Ichigo threw it at the multiple tentacles and yelled, "Bakudō #62: Hyapporankan!"

The one rod multiplied into hundreds and skewered the tentacles and pinning them on the ground. Ichigo raised his arm and pointed his palm at the multiple immobilized tentacles and muttered, "Hado #88: Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō!"

A gigantic beam of electrical and spiritual energy then eradicated the multiple smaller tentacles upon impact and created a massive explosive shockwave from the impact. With dust in the air their vision became extremely obscured. With a swish of hollow Zangetsu the air was cleared.

"KYAAA!"

Hearing the distinct sound of a female scream Ichigo looked over to see the pink haired woman bifurcating one of the smaller tentacles that survived the blast that had a hold of the young black haired girl. A larger tentacle then came down on the unconscious silver haired girl but was blocked by the pink haired woman. The impact caused her legs to buckle and cause a crater. Making his way to the woman Ichigo got blindsided by another larger tentacle sending him crashing into the ground. Getting up Ichigo sliced the tentacle that hit him and had the woman pinned. The woman took this chance and sent two high powered kicks at the bleeding limbs vaporizing them on the spot.

Ichigo whistled in approval and got a small smile from the woman. Alucard took advantage of their distraction and skewered Ichigo pinning him to the ground causing him to spit up some blood. The woman was not so fortunate she was cut in half at the waist. Seeing this Ichigo's vision went red.

'No, no, no, no, no, no, NO. Not another person dying in front of me!'

"ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR," Ichigo let out a massive hollow like roar as whit mask formed on his face that had two solid red lines go down his face only to be interrupted by the mask's eye holes. His eyes were now gold and sclera are black. With a quick swing of Quincy Zangetsu Ichigo sliced off the limbs that had him pinned. Getting up Ichigo pulled out the tentacles that were in his body and his wounds instantly regenerated. Ichigo looked back to the young black haired girl and with his distorted voice spoke, "Get yourself and the silver haired girl out of here I may have trouble holding back against this beast."

Nodding dumbly the black haired girl did as she was told, her races pride be damned. After Ichigo was fully regenerated he cut his hand a placed and open palm at the five larger tentacles coming at him. Charging his reiatsu into the palm of his hand he released the built up energy and muttered, "Gran Rey Cero."

A massive black cero followed by a buzzing noise it made vaporized three of the five while only burning the other two but they regenerated shortly afterwards. Charging ahead Ichigo cut down any futile attempts to stop him, anything that attacked him was either cut down or turned to ash. Ichigo unleashed an overpowered getsuga on one of the two remaining larger tentacles only leaving a tiny bone. Ichigo pointed his index finger at the tentacle but before he could say anything the entire ground erupted.

Out of the ground appeared a giant skeletal monster that gave even Ichigo the creeps. But what made things worst… hundreds of large tentacles and thousands of the smaller ones. Taking in the skyscraper of a beast in Ichigo merely thought, 'I can't think of anything else but the word fuck… and simply saying that is an understatement.'

Distracted by his thoughts Ichigo didn't sense the two larger tentacles coming for him, one on each flank. But luckily he was saved. By the pink haired woman who was back and not a scar on her body and the other was turned to ash by his favorite fox.

"Ahri?"

"Later Ichigo, we big, bad and ugly to deal with here"

Nodding his head in approval Ichigo turned his head to the other woman among them. She answered the unasked question, "My vampiric healing is above that of others simply cutting me in half won't kill me."

Once again nodding his head in understanding. Ichigo looked back at his opponent and decided that killing this thing would take too long so it would have to be sealed. "Can you two buy me some time I have a way to seal it but it's going to take some time."

Chad at this time joined them, "Seal it?"

"Aizen."

That was all it took to know what Ichigo meant. The pink haired woman questionably but decided to just go with it for now, they didn't have any other plan and Ahri always believed in Ichigo. The pink haired woman took off vaporizing limbs with the overpowered kicks and Ahri turned them to ashes with her fox fire. Any that got near Ichigo were blown away by Chad. Ichigo pointed his index finger at the beast and said, "Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired."

Ichigo generated ten pink energy points around himself but before they could fire he muttered softly under his breath so that no one can hear him, Ichigo then shouted, "Hado #91: Senjū Kōten Taihō!"

The pink blast hit Alucard creating a devastating effect causing it to scream in pain. Ichigo and Chad knew what to do next. Weaken it to the point where the seal activates. Chad began a barrage of El Directo, Ichigo let off several Getsuga Tensho and threw in a few Getsuga Juujishou. Ahri seeing them start inflicting massive damage used her fox fire at a higher heat level and started to drain the essence/life force of the beast. The pink haired woman also caught on and didn't know why but started vaporizing limbs at a faster pace and throwing in the occasional, "Know your place."

After a good fifteen minute barrage with the creature/Alucard severely weakend Ichigo finished it off with one last kido spell. Pointing his hand in the air Ichigo chanted, "Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy! Boil forth and deny! Grow numb and flicker! Disrupt sleep! Crawling queen of iron! Eternally self-destructing doll of mud! Unite! Repulse! Fill with soil and know your own powerlessness!"

"Hado #90: Kurohitsugi."

A Giant black coffin appeared around Alucard with crosses on the top. After a good few minutes of crushing Alucard with the full power of Kurohitsugi it dispersed and showed the creature bleeding and on the ground. What counted as a bonus were the red crosses on it's back. The creature would fight meaninglessly for a good two hours before it grew tired and Alucard was sealed in a tri-cross. Ichigo only muttered, "Kyūjūrokkei Kakafūmetsu."

(Song end)

Seeing Alucard sealed away they all let out a breath of relief after that long battle everyone was exhausted. Well everyone but Ichigo who spent a hood seven hours straight fight Yhwach to the death. Walking over to the pink haired woman Ichigo introduced himself, "Ichigo Kurosaki."

She smiled at him, "Akasha Bloodriver, thanks for the help if it wasn't for you I would have had to sacrifice myself to seal him off."

"Think nothing of it, if you don't mind me asking what are you going to do now that your castle is a huge crater?"

"I don't know."

"Care to elaborate?"

"Well I just got a divorce since I didn't want to be a concubine and per our races customs Issa won everything I only had my daughter Moka who I sent away with Mikogami… speaking of which…"

Akasha checked her phone and saw she had a text from Mikogami it read: I just got Moka. Saw the battle with Alucard, the orange hair one intrigues me. Anyway if you need anything you know how to reach me.

Taking a sigh of relief Moka is safe and away from Akua. This was when Ahri made her presence known, "If you don't have anywhere to go why not join Ichigo's peerage."

"Peerage? The thing those pure blood wannabe demons have?"

"Yeah but different, we are all treated as equals and as family. There is no servitude only comradery. Although we use a highly modified version of the evil piece system I'm just out to help stop in impending doom coming soon."

"Sounds fun and like a chance for me to really stretch my wings… yeah sure I'll join you."

Smiling softly at her Ichigo took the queen piece out and poured a little bit of his reiatsu into it. Sensing he used the appropriate amount of power Ichigo muttered, "I, Ichigo Shiba Kurosaki ask of thee, Akasha Bloodriver to fight by my side as my comrade and together show the world a new beginning."

The queen piece then flowed into Akasha and once it settled she got a small power boost along with the groups signature black skull tattoo on the outside of her upper left thigh. The group happy for their new addition decided to go off on their next adventure.

2 weeks later- England (Back in the human realm)

The group of four is currently in England or Great Britain whichever is to your liking. In a small country side town called Cornwall (AN: I don't actually know if it is small or on the country side I couldn't find that information). Currently the group of four are in a massive grass field. Wind blowing gently but high enough to make the hair of Ahri and Akasha pick up and flow in the wind gently. Something Ichigo noticed much to the happiness of the vampire and legendary nine tails.

In the past two weeks the group learned more about each other. But Ichigo's and Ahri's past was still a no-no zone. Akasha is a very prideful vampire being one of the three dark lords of the Yokai realm that originally shut Alucard down. As prideful as Akasha is she wouldn't allow herself to be a concubine. Which is why she currently is enjoying being alongside Ichigo and her new family. Akasha will drop subtle hints at her interest in the war hero, and Ahri does the same just a bit bolder than her fellow female and Yokai. They don't believe that Ichigo is actually picking up on their hints but secretly… who knows if he is. What makes Akasha appeased with the teen is that even though Ahri is a bit head strong, he treats them equally making sure to give each an equal amount of attention.

Any questions or remarks Akasha had for Chad were usually answered with more hums and grunts and having Ichigo respond to her and tell her that Chad is usually mute unless he really knows you. The training sessions the group had were the best for Akasha. She finally had someone who can push her to her limits and beyond. Though Ichigo was careful not to beat her too badly… A vampire's pride is a tricky thing to deal with. So Ichigo would have to lessen it to a degree at least. He would have to humble the vampire.

During the groups casual walking through the fields of Cornwall, they heard the clash of blades. The group looking at each other and having a silent agreement they moved towards the clash of blades and the strong felling of holy aura. It was a strong aura but it paled in comparison to Yhwach's holy aura.

Upon seeing two figures battling one in armor the other distinctively looked male. The armored figure wears a heavy set of red and silver armor and a large horned helmet that obscures her face from everyone. The clearly male figure is a bespectacled young man with blonde hair and is dressed in a black business suit.

As the group looked on they saw the clearly male swordsman was slowly but surely getting the upper hand in their fight. Seeing the two go at it even Ichigo was impressed a bit. But what surprised him was the armored person used what looked like a bastardized version of the flash step. But even if the armor figure fought with reckless abandon like Ichigo often did before the Blood War, she did fairly well. But the man in the suit parried, blocked and countered each of the armored figures strikes with grace.

The longer the fight went on the more reckless the armored person became. Everyone in the group could tell that the knight was getting frustrated and leaving herself more and more open with each strike that failed to connect. But what put the Yokai of the group slightly on edge due to their enhanced sensory abilities was the massive holy weapons the two wield both were swords with a strong holy presence. Ichigo and Chad having fought against the Quincy were not bothered by the strong aura having fought against stronger auras in the war and came out on top.

The armored figure overextended itself a little bit too much which cost her dearly. The suited man ducked under her strike and with speed faster than any human could possibly reach gave the armored figure a slash across the stomach, destroying the stomach part of the armor and spilling a good amount of blood, then the suited man gracefully spun around the armored person and ah the person was falling stuck his sword in its shoulder rendering the shoulder plate useless and more blood gushing out.

The two shared a few words and just as the suited man was about to end it the armored figure try to gouge him in a last ditch effort but it was in vain as he dodge and saw his sword coming down in slow motion.

The armored person tried to will its body to move to not be killed like a dog but its body wouldn't respond after several moments and expecting the embrace of death the figure was slightly surprised when it never came. Looking up she saw the shocked face of her rival as a tall man dressed in black and white with orange hair stood in front of her blocking his holy sword with his forearm and saw a blue vein like pattern on his arm.

The suited man now narrowed his eyes and spoke, "And who are you?"

Ichigo scowled at the bespectacled sword wielder seeing how his tone reminded him a little too much of the prideful Ishida. "Ichigo Kurosaki… and you?"

"Arthur Pendragon, descendant or Arturia Pendragon."

"Wait your telling me that your ancestor is the king Arthur, but not only that but the legends were false and Arthur was actually a woman?"

"How perceptive of you."

"Keep that sarcasm up and I'll show you perceptive."

Feeling a bit of weight on his shoulders and a dark aura form around Ichigo, Arthur thought better than to challenge this man if what he felt was just a fraction of his power, "Anyways why did you stop me from finishing off my cousin?"

"Cousin?"

"Yes, the person bleeding out behind you barley holding onto consciousness is my cousin, Mordred Pendragon, descendant of the knight of treachery Mordred Pendragon whose parents are Morgan Le Fay and Arturia Pendragon."

Looking behind him Ichigo saw that Mordred was bleeding out more profusely than before. Silently curing to himself Ichigo called the one person he trusted in situations like these, "Oi, Ahri get over here would you!"

In a small crimson fire appeared Ahri with her nine tails showing proudly, "You need something Ichi~"

Rolling his eyes at her small pet name for him Ichigo said, "The armored girl behind me, if she loses anymore blood she's going to die, can you do me a favor and fix her up?"

"I guess so but you owe me later!"

"Alright, alright I'll return a favor."

Ahri smiled brightly at him and started to get to work, "Good."

Ahri placed her hands above Mordred and a green dome surrounded the knight as she was slowly being healed. Ichigo nodded to himself as he saw the healing process progress. Turning his head back towards Arthur Ichigo asked, "Okay so mind telling me how two females created an offspring.

Arthur withdrew his sword from Ichigo's arm and began explaining, "Through unorthodox circumstances, Arturia became was a pseudo-male at the time due to Merlin's magic, so Morgan enchanted her with a spell to extract sperm from her. She developed the child within her own ovary, and made the knight of treachery."

"And why did Merlin do such a thing?"

"Blackmail, really."

Ichigo looked back and saw the blood had stopped flowing out and the gashes were slowly closing shut as Mordred's breathing became steady. Her green eyes met Ichigo's and for a moment they stared at each other as if just reading the others thought. The sound of a click bought Ichigo out of his 'mind reading' to see Arthur had sheathed his sword. Arthur looked at Ichigo and said, "I will let my cousin live a bit longer, if her pride doesn't get to you do me a favor and look after her she is only consumed be our families ancient hatred for one another, maybe you can show her some light…" Arthur then looked to Mordred, "… become strong cousin I would like a glorious battle when we meet again."

With that Arthur walked away from the group. Once he was half a mile away Akasha and Chad appeared by his sides. "What was that about," the vampire asked.

"A family dispute," was Ichigo's reply.

Turning to the very conscious and healed Mordred, the blonde knight took off her helmet and presented herself with pride, "Mordred Pendragon, descendant of the knight of treachery."

"Ichigo Kurosaki, now Mordred what will you do now that you realize that Arthur… well to put it simply kicked your ass?"

Looking down at her feet as if she was contemplating a live changing decision Mordred struggled to stand up and when Ahri tried to help Mordred gave her a death glare so Ahri backed off. After a minute and finally getting on her feet Mordred responded, "I want to be strong; no I need to be stronger. My performance today showed me how far ahead my cousin is from me. I want the strength to fight for my beliefs to have someone strong to believe in me. The way you blocked Arthur's attack and made him withdraw makes me believe that you are incredibly strong. I want someone of your strength to recognize me!"

Ichigo put his hand on her shoulder and said, "People recognize others on various things, for me I don't have to recognize you for your strength. I recognize for where your heart is at and I believe yours is in the right place so I ask will you join our group of little misfits as my vanguard…" Ichigo then pulled out two black vanguard pieces as they glowed and continued, "… not as a servant like the damn wannabe bats but as a comrade, for we are not devils I'm just a wandering hybrid."

Mordred narrowed her eyes, "That vanguard look like a pawn, you can't be serious?"

Seeing that he must have hit her pride harshly Ichigo said, "Well you said you wanted to be stronger correct…" seeing a nod in confirmation he continued, "… well the pawn as you put it has the most versatility being able to become any piece but the king, the pawn has massive potential and seeing how I am going to have to use two pawns you have more potential than most, I don't want you to squander that potential I want to nurture it so you can be the best you can be."

Contemplating this huge decision Mordred asked just one question, "So you definitely will train me? And help me become stronger?"

"Of course."

"Then Ichigo Kurosaki I will join your group of misfits and become your vanguard."

Ichigo smiled at her as he poured some of his reiatsu into the two pieces and started his chant, "I, Ichigo Shiba Kurosaki ask of thee, Mordred Pendragon to fight by my side as my comrade and together show the world a new beginning."

Mordred's leftover wounds fully healed along with giving her a power boost and the black skull tattoo on her right shoulder as soon as the two pieces bonded within her. The group smiled at her and Ichigo said, "Welcome to the group, Mordred."

Mordred nodded back muttering a small thank you and the group went on their way.

5 weeks later – Ring of Beara

Currently we find our group of five in Ireland on the Ring of Beara. The group did their usual talking, sparing/training or if you were being trained by Ichigo you secretly called it torture. Mordred was quickly brought up to speed on the group. Once she got more comfortable with the group and Ichigo sharing their experiences with each other. Mordred subtly started to flirt with Ichigo, since her pride was equal to that of Akasha.

While Akasha did small subtle flirting with the group's king, Ahri was more… well open about her interest in Ichigo. Ahri had no shame and she believed that her more direct approach would give her the competitive edge over Akasha and Mordred. If only she knew the truth.

The group was walking around, enjoying their day off from training so they're not in their usual battle outfits but wearing casual clothes as they visited Ireland for the week. Instead of her silver and red armor, Mordred wore a small white tube tope with red trim that showed off a majority of her stomach and a red jacket over her tube top. She had on blue short shorts giving her average butt more emphasis and black combat boots.

Ichigo had on a white tee shirt with a skull and cross design on it, over the tee shirt was a black hoodie with a slanted red cross on each shoulder and red tribal designs on the hood and a pair of black sunglasses over his eyes. He wore his usual blue jeans with a chain going from his front pockets to his rear pockets and a pair of black Nike sneakers.

Akasha wears a large Victorian-styled gown that is black, along with heeled platforms. But she wore her battle uniform under her dress. Being born in the fifteenth century, Akasha was accustomed to this kind of old fashion.

Chad had his usual bright Hawaiian shirt and black jeans. Ahri also had her same outfit she had when she first met Chad and Ichigo since it was a reminder to get stronger and the day she started to have feeling for her hero with orange hair.

As the group was having their small lunch out in the field they heard two girlish screams followed by the sound of an angry mob. Looking into the distance as the girls and mob got closer was two girls being chased by a mob that had torches, pitchforks and guns. (AN: I know cliché angry mob don't hate)

Ichigo's eyes narrowed wanting to get to the bottom of this issue. It just seemed he could never have a single day of peace. When the girls reached their group, both hid behind Ichigo. Getting a raised eyebrow from Ichigo and metaphorical lighting from Ahri as Akasha and Mordred simply gritted their teeth.

Looking back at the two girls as the mob was approaching Ichigo saw that they were both around his age if the soft marshmallows pushing into his back said anything. The girl behind his left arm as a young, slim, large-busted woman, with long, straight dark purple hair that falls to the middle of her back. It is cut in the traditional Japanese princess style. She dons an elaborate whiye blazer with gold lining, and a large collar, which is open to reveal a collared shirt and red tie underneath. The cuffs of this jacket are tucked into a pair of white wrist-high gloves. On her legs, she wears a pair of black tights, which are tucked into a pair of knee-high boots and sit under a short white frilled skirt. She also had a katana in a white sheath that was wrapped in cloth restricting the drawing of the blade.

The girl behind his left arm is a slim young woman of below average height. She has long, white hair which curls slightly at the ends, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest. She has large blue eyes and a curvy, voluptuous body, with large breasts. She wears a gothic looking, overly revealing outfit. She dons a dark, skimpy sleeveless shirt adorned with some light curved motiifs on the chest, a pair of leather shorts held up by a studded belt with a demonic-looking buckle and thigh-high boots with stiletto heels, each bearing a skull adorned by a flower on their upper front parts. She also sported a bracelet shaped like a demonic arm around her right wrist, a ring on the same hand's middle finger, and dark nail polish.

Seeing the two girls shaking and tired he gives them both a bottled water which they drink down hungrily and muttered 'thank you.' When the mob caught up to them the girls were visibly shaking so letting instincts take over Ichigo wrapped an arm around each and hummed slightly like he would his sisters and they calmed down considerably.

Seeing the mob right there Chad, Akasha, Ahri and Mordred tensed in case there would be a fight, and knowing Ichigo these past weeks, there would always be a fight.

The leader of the mob stepped forward and demanded, "Sir I am going to have to ask you to hand those girls over!"

"Oh, and why should I do that," inquired Ichigo.

The leader paused for a bit but another man answered, "Because they're freaks!"

"Freaks? I don't see any freaks."

"What else would we call them?"

"Then please enlighten me, what gives you the right to call them freaks?"

"Other than the fact that the gothic one can turn into a demon and use destructive force and the purple haired one can control gravity and cut things with her sword sheathed, nothing really," was the sarcastic reply.

"These girls are in no ways freaks they have massive potential that should be nurtured not hindered you fools!"

"Well what're you going to do about it," the leader then stood in asking.

"Easy, show you true power," as those words left his mouth a massive weight bared down on the mob's shoulders flooring them all but not enough to knock them unconscious. Using the trick Ichigo discovered during training he poured his reiatsu into the skull tattoo and was in his soul palace Shihakushō, along with both Hollow and Quincy Zangetsu drawn. Ahri stood up and her nine tails appeared along with the crimson fox fire. Next was Mordred who touched her skull tattoo and her armor materialized on her with her holy sword Clarent drawn. Then Chad stood brandishing his arm of the giant and devil. And finally Akasha stood baring her fangs, eyes turning crimson and becoming slit along with six bat wings coming out of her back.

Ichigo slowly tilted his head as a sadistic smile that would make his hollow proud, came across his face. As the mob was whimpering in fear, black a red reiatsu exploded around him creating spider web cracks on the ground and a minor earthquake started. The two girls looked in awe at this Adonis of a powerhouse mostly but stole small glances at the other beautiful woman and the brick shit-house Hispanic that all seemed to be forces to be reckoned with.

Looking back at Ichigo the both saw black tendrils enter his eyes. What was white was now black sclera and his pupils turned to a deathly yellow. Twirling his Zangetsu blades Ichigo slashed on each side of him creating a strong concussive force and a ripping of the Earth. When the mob looked at the damage they were starting to shit themselves, much to Ichigo's, Akasha's and Ahri's ire since their senses are enhanced. On both Ichigo's left and right were fissures created just by a swing of each blade.

Boring his demonic eyes into the pants wetting mob Ichigo spoke in his hollow voice, "Now leave! If I ever hear or see you assholes again your pants won't be the only thing stained!"

Letting up on the pressure the mob got back to their feet very shakily and ran away quickly to leave the demon and his companions alone. Once the ignorant fools ran away, Ichigo and the rest of the peerage reverted back to their previous forms.

Looking at the two girls who seem to be a bit shaken up, he smiled softly and kneeled down so to be at eye level with them. Smiling softly Ichigo introduced himself, "Hi, I'm Ichigo Kurosaki and who would you two happen to be?"

"I- I'm Kagura, Kagura Mikazuchi," was the purple haired woman's reply.

"A-and I-I'm Mirajane Strauss," answered the white haired woman.

Smiling a bit more at the two, elicited a blush from both woman. Ichigo then continued, "You both have beautiful names. Now if you don't mind why were those bastards trying to kill you, you don't have to tell if you're not ready but as you saw not all of us are exactly normal by human standards."

The two looked at each other as if they were having a silent conversation with one another. After several moments they nodded at Ichigo. Kagura spoke up, "Well Mirajane and I were once part of the magical organization called Golden Dawn. We were expelled cause of how we use our magic."

"And how did you two use your magic," asked a curious Mordred.

Mirajane filled them in on this part, "Well for me my magic is considered taboo since I can take over the souls of demons and Kagura here balances out her magic with her sword Archenemy and since she doesn't rely on magic more she wasn't considered a full magician and thus was casted out."

"Oh? And what exactly is Kagura's magic?"

"I can control gravity to my will to either enhance it or hinder it."

"That can be very useful… but what about your blade Archenemy? Do you always have it sheathed like that?"

"Yes because if I unsheathe it, I would cause a cataclysm."

"Most interesting now my final question… since you've pretty much been casted out what will you two do?"

"I don't know our place was burnt down and we don't know if any of our things survived the fire," answered Mirajane.

"Hmm I see…" Ichigo then pulled out two pawn pieces, as the pieces floated in his hand Ichigo asked, "Do you know what these are?"

"I see, you're a devil then," said Kagura.

"No actually I'm human-ish… these are just like the devil pieces except their improved and you're not tied down by servitude, it's more like we become family and comrades in battle all I ask is for you both to follow me through my next hellish adventure cause even the strongest of beings needs the support of their friends and precious people."

Kagura and Mirajane looked at each other then back at Ichigo as they smiled their answer was, "We accept."

Ichigo smiled as he poured some of his reiatsu into the first vanguard piece and chanted, "I, Ichigo Shiba Kurosaki ask of thee, Kagura Mikazuchi to fight by my side as my comrade and together show the world a new beginning." The pawn piece glowed and flowed into Kagura soon she felt a nice power boost along with a black skull tattoo right above her waist line near her left hip. Kagura then let out a breath and smiled at Mirajane telling her it's okay.

Ichigo then turned towards Mirajane and when he saw her nod he poured some reiatsu into the other vanguard piece he had and did his chant once again, "I, Ichigo Shiba Kurosaki ask of thee, Mirajane Strauss to fight by my side as my comrade and together show the world a new beginning." The piece flowed into her and like everyone else got a power boost along with a black skull tattoo that appeared on the upper part of her left leg.

Ichigo smiled and said, "Welcome to the family girls," which he was answered with hugs from both girls as they cried tears of happiness that for once someone accepted them for who they were and what they can do and didn't throw them out. So Ichigo did the only thing he could he hugged them back and whispered soothing things in their ears until the two of them calmed down.

Twelve days later – Paris, France

On the roads of France Ichigo was out going to get a drink for himself since it was another day off for his group to rest up. Let's just say there is no such thing as mercy or holding back in combat, training or actual combat.

Kagura and Mirajane were able to incorporate themselves in the group rather quickly making quick friends with Ahri and Chad. It was a bit harder with the prideful natures of Akasha and Mordred they eventually got past their pride and let the two girls in.

As Ichigo found a store to get his drink, there was something peculiar that caught his eye. He saw a young girl, no older than sixteen who has straight long silver hair and blue eyes. She clads herself in silver armor, and wears a purple dress underneath the armor.

Before he walked into the store the two connected eyes for a brief moment both looking at the other with looks of curiosity before Ichigo entered the store. As Ichigo was buying his PowerAde he asked the owner, "Hey jiji, what's with the girl outside the shop?"

The Frenchman looked back at Ichigo and replied, "Ah she wanted this tea and pudding but didn't have the funds for it."

Raising his eyebrow Ichigo then pushed the girl's items with his and paid them along with his. When Ichigo got outside the store he sat next to the girl. When she looked at him, he handed her, the green tea and chocolate pudding. The girl brought out a small pad of paper and pen and wrote on it. When she finished she showed it to Ichigo. Reading that the notepad said, 'For me?'

Ichigo could only think, 'Is she mute or something,' Ichigo chuckled a bit and replied of course the guy said you didn't have enough so I just thought that I would get it for you.

'Really why?'

"Well you seem a bit down so I decided to help you out a bit."

'Actually I just have this stoic expression due to my emotionlessness.'

"Something tragic happened to make you like that?"

'You could say that, what about you, half the time you've been here you've been scowling at people.'

"Sorry about that I've been scowling for so long it usually happens and I don't realize it."

'Something horrible happen to make you like that?'

"You could say that," Ichigo replied smirking.

'Touché… My name Eucliwood, Eucliwood Hellscythe.'

"Nice to meet you I'm Ichigo Kurosaki."

Eucliwood's eyes widen at the name and quickly scribbled down what she needed to say like her life depended on it, 'Ichigo Kurosaki… as in the Winter War hero and Blood War hero?'

Ichigo tensed up preparing himself for what might come ahead. Turning his head and narrowing his eyes Ichigo said, "How do you know that? Only the living Soul Reapers, Arrancars and a select few humans know of that," as he finished that statement he slammed some of his reiatsu on her which caused her to hunch over a bit from the pressure bearing down on her.

Scribbling down as quickly as possible to alleviate the pressure once she explained things her notepad read, 'I guess I should explain things. I am not really human; to give you a brief explanation I come from the underworld. The underworld is currently divided into three sections. One for the Fallen Angels, one for the bats and the other one for the supposedly extinct demons. I come from the demon section and I am a demonic necromancer. We demons are actually not extinct that is just what we want the supernatural world to think according to our lord Satan, for reasons unknown since I'm not in the royal class of demons. You are somewhat of a celebrity in the demon realm for your massive power and how you easily destroyed the gates of hell along with the first five circles of Hell along with severely damaging circles six, seven and eight. Nor for me, I was casted out due to my inability to fully control my abilities and causing harm to others and myself.'

"So I'm guessing the armor isn't just for cosplay and the mute and expressionlessness is all supposed to help control your abilities."

'Exactly, and since I have no place to go I've just been travelling the world.'

Damn, Ichigo and his good nature, someday it will be the death of him; "Since you have no place to go and apparently your race is keeping tabs on me do you know what I am going to ask you?"

'To be a comrade and join your peerage?'

"Exactly… so will you join the family?"

'But I don't exactly have control.'

"Ah but here's one of the nice bonuses of these peerage pieces, I had average control of my reiryoku at best but once the piece was inside me I had complete control, so the piece should give you complete control so I ask one last time… Eucliwood Hellscythe, will you join me?"

Simply shrugging her shoulders she responded, 'Sure why not, I got nothing else to lose.'

Smiling at her, Ichigo pulled out his last bishop piece and flowed some reiatsu into it once he was content Ichigo began his chant, "I, Ichigo Shiba Kurosaki ask of thee, Eucliwood Hellscythe to fight by my side as my comrade and together show the world a new beginning." Once the piece merged with her she felt her sporadic energy being contained in a ball along with a power boost and a black skull tattoo that appeared on her neck.

"Now flow some of your energy into the tattoo and it will remove the armor so you can try out your abilities now in a controlled fashion."

Doing as instructed, the armor dematerialized and she quietly murmured, "Shake," they then experienced a small earthquake but nothing big. Eucliwood's eyes were wide as dinner plates and she spoke again, "Stop," the Earth stopped shaking and was still. It was official she had control of her abilities without the armor. Discovering this she quickly hugged Ichigo and muttered several thank you. Ichigo ruffled her hair and said, "Anytime, now come on lets introduce you to the others."

Getting a nod in reply the two made their way back to Ichigo and his peerage's current place of residence. And Eucliwood can say that she was finally happy for the first time in her life as she walked with the war hero with a smile on her face.

4 weeks later – Vatican City, Italy

In the current courtyard of the Vatican there was a trial being held. It was for a boy and a woman; the boy has messy dark blue hair that sweeps down in his pale skin and intense blue eyes. He has prominent canine teeth and slightly pointed ears and a black, fur-tufted tail just above his hips. He was wearing his school/academy's uniform, which consists of a white shirt, a loose necktie, a black jacket, and black pants.

The woman has long hot pink hair with yellow ends that resemble flames, green eyes, a curvaceous figure with large breasts and markings on her chest and abdomen which act as seals for various items. She is wearing a very revealing bikini top, along with shorts and stockings as the bottom part of her outfit.

As the trial was about to begin several hooded figures entered obscuring their faces in different locations all of them watching one person, the orange haired figure in the seats, all waiting to begin their little mission. As the three judges of the Vatican were doing the usual pre-case introductions and why they're here… stuff people don't really care for, it's just procedure.

Ichigo who was wearing a black hood standing in the middle of the crowd of the public case spoke into his ear piece, "This is reaper are you all in position?"

"Vampire, standing by," came an eloquent voice.

"Fox, standing by," came a high class voice.

"Death, standing by," was a cute voice.

"Demon, standing by," was a chipper voice.

"Archenemy, standing by," was an apathetic voice.

"Clarent, standing by," was an excited voice.

Chad just grunted and nodded at Ichigo, "And the brick shithouse is good to go…" Chad's nickname caused all the girls to sweat drop, "… you all know the plan move on my signal."

"Hai," was the collective response.

The group then turned their heads to the Vatican judges as the case was beginning.

"Rin Okumura you are here to be executed for being the spawn of Satan."

Ichigo's eyes widened at this revelation. Talking into the ear piece he said, "Death, they don't really mean…"

"It's as exactly as it seems Reaper, they won't give him a fair trial due to the fact that his father is the king of demons…you doubted my intelligence network a bit didn't you."

Being caught red handed Ichigo could only stutter as her heard the others giggle at him, "W-well I-I uh… radio silence."

Death narrowed her eyes but didn't say anything. Hearing the judges speak again the grouped went silent.

"Shura Kirigakure, you are being tried for harboring the spawn of Satan and training in secret, you are found guilty. You are expelled from the True Cross Knights, stripped of your rank as an upper first class exorcist, do either of you have any last words?"

Rin shook his head but Shura did speak, "Yeah I do actually."

"Then speak or forever hold your peace."

"FUCK YOU, YOU SLIMEY SLEASEBALL SCUMBAGS!"

The judges just grumbled as Shura was taken away to be executed first so the Satan spawn could see the only person who stayed his friend after knowing the truth, killed right in front of his eyes.

Shura was brought to a wall to face an exorcist firing squad. The exorcists aimed their guns at Shura and the moment they fired two things happened. A flash of black then came just four words, "Bakudō number eighty-one, Danku."

A transparent barrier appeared in front of Shura and her orange haired savior and stopped all the bullets.Seeing the firing squad and judges in a state of shock Ichigo then shouted, "Commence the operation!"

Just on the outside of the crowd of people, Archenemy also known as Kagura used her gravity magic to increase the gravity of the people near the back of the execution grounds/court. While she did this Fox, also known as Ahri used her illusions and made the people near the front witness their deepest, darkest fears causing them to scream and faint from the trauma.

Death, who is actually Eucliwood floated above Ichigo's previous position and muttered, "Sink," the floor in the middle of the room immediately turned to quicksand dragging exorcists along with some innocent bystanders in it. Ichigo would have preferred to leave the bystanders out of this operation but you can't have everything go your way.

The work of Eucliwood, Ahri and Kagura effectively put everyone in a panic. Seeing the entire area in a panic the firing squad took aim at Ichigo, thinking he was the leader and once he was taken out his forces would be in disarray. Casting another Danku as the guns fired again Ichigo heard his com go off, "Reaper this is Fox phase one: Cause massive chaos complete."

"Good, begin phase two."

Demon, who is Mirajane; and Clarent who is Mordred started fighting seeing some of the exorcists regained their composure and went after their comrades. Mordred materialized her silver and red armor along with her sword Clarent and began destroying the exorcist forces at close range. While Mirajane turned into one of her Satan soul forms and engaged the enemy at long range knocking several out.

In Mirajane's Satan soul form her eyes become darker and eyelashes grow larger, with a dark, thin marking in a light zigzag-style crossing her right eye vertically; similar markings are present above her right breast and on both of her bare thighs. Her hair becomes wilder, jutting upwards and getting curlier, with the front ponytail growing longer, and her ears enlarge, extending backwards, and gain pointed edges.

She also gains sharp canine teeth, and her lips become covered in dark lipstick. Her forearms and hands receive noticeable changes, becoming covered in scales and each sprouting a fin-like protrusion on its outer side. She also grows a large, stocky tail seemingly made of metal plates or scales, getting smaller and smaller near its end.

Her clothes are replaced by a dark, skimpy one-piece suit revealing her arms and legs, which is open on the front and the back, exposing most of her belly, wide cleavage and upper back too. Such cloth has lighter-colored edges taking on spiky shapes, and her similarly spiky collar is tied around the neck by a cravat tie. Her shoulder are tied in some thin belts protruding from her one-piece suit, and her feet are covered by matching, high-heeled thigh-high boots, which are decorated by lighter motifs on their upper parts, taking on the shapes of jagged blades pointing downwards on the front of her legs, and on the lower parts, in correspondence to her ankles and feet. She also dons a pair of gauntlets covering the back parts of her transformed arms.

Using her demon's abilities, Mirajane was causing massive damage and destruction in her own right. She was picking off exorcists left and right like they were mere ants. Seeing that only half of the forces remained, Vampire who is Akasha and the Brick Shithouse went and got the defendants and escaped with them in tow. After several moments and the other members of the group along with Ichigo destroyed everything leaving a good chunk of the Vatican in ruins was when they heard Akasha on their com units, "Reaper this is Vampire, the HVTs are secured we are just waiting for you at the rendezvous point."

The group all nodded as they got behind Ichigo as he made a Garganta that lead them to their destination. All the group heard were screams as the exorcists tried to regain what little dignity they had left and charge the closing void. But alas it was all for not as the void closed utterly embarrassing the exorcists as they were taken down by a handful of people and escaped unscathed. It was safe to say the Vatican was not happy about this.

Once Ichigo and his group exited the Garganta and met up with Akasha and Chad, he opened up another Garganta and the group plus the two rescued people walked through coming out somewhere in Greece. The group walked to the hotel they were staying at and rode it the elevator to the top at the penthouse suite. Once arrived Ichigo's comrades went to do their own thing as Ichigo sat in the living room with the two that they rescued.

After a several minute stare down and Rin constantly fidgeting, Shura decided to break the silence pitying her student as he was under the intense gaze of one of their rescuers.

"Well thank you for saving our asses back there kid."

Ichigo just grumbled about being called a kid but none the less showed some manners, "Yeah your welcome, but now I have a question for you both."

Rin who looked up whose interest is now piqued asked, "What is it?"

"What are you two going to do now?"

Rin not knowing what he meant looked at Shura who answered, "He means what are our plans, the Vatican wants our heads and we're going to be on the run for the rest of our lives until we die so he's asking what are our plans going forward."

Rin looked down a bit demoralized, "I-I honestly don't know."

I can give you an option then if you both are willing to listen."

They both looked at Ichigo as Shura said, "Go on."

"I can give you both help fending off the Vatican and its allies until a formal treaty is created to disregard you all you have to do is join my peerage."

After hearing the word peerage Shura drew her sword and went for a downward slash on Ichigo. What surprised was that Ichigo caught her swing between his thumb and index finger. As she widened her eyes she was struck in her gut as Mordred hit her with the pommel of her sword then pinned her as her sword was on Shura's neck. Rin widened his eyes at the fact Shura's blade was caught with minimal effort and the fact he didn't see the knight even move.

Giving this unexpected reaction a sigh Ichigo looked at Rin and said, "Do you want me to explain?"

To which he nodded in response. "My peerage is not like the devil peerage like she was thinking of. Mine is called a Shinigami peerage it's based off the devil peerage idea but there are a few major differences. First being you keep your humanity you won't change into any of the supernatural species so no wings or anything like that second being a power boost which is probably self-explanatory and the last one is that we are not bound like servant and master we are allies comrades that help each other and do what is necessary to support one another pretty much like a giant family as my rook chad sees it."

Rin turned around and saw the giant Mexican which caused Rin to gulp. Rin looked back at Ichigo and asked, "Is that why you saved us? For our abilities?"

"Kid look at your teacher, does it look like that is why I saved you two?"

Rin shook his head. "Right I saved you because Eu wanted to and had some information about you being a demon so it was and unjust execution since you can't choose who your parents are. So I'll ask you will you be our comrade, brother in arms and join the shinigami peerage?"

Rin steeled himself and said, "I'll do it."

Ichigo looked at the still pinned Shura and rolled his eyes, "Saber you can let her up…" to which she did, dusting herself off Ichigo asked, "… And what about you?"

"Well since I'm in the same boat as the kid I'll do it."

"Good now come here, think of a place you want your tattoo and I shall do the ritual."

Ichigo approached Shura with two vanguard pieces and started putting his reiatsu into the pieces as they started to glow and said his chant, "I, Ichigo Shiba Kurosaki ask of thee, Shura Kirigakure to fight by my side as my comrade and together show the world a new beginning." The two pieces entered her as her power increased and a black skull tattoo appeared on the inside of her left breast.

Ichigo then approached Rin and pulled out a knight piece and put reiatsu into it also. As soon as the piece glowed Ichigo recited his chant. "I, Ichigo Shiba Kurosaki ask of thee, Rin Okumura to fight by my side as my comrade and together show the world a new beginning." The piece then flowed into Rin who also got a power boost and his black skull tattoo appeared on his right pectoral.

Few Days Later – Shapeless Isle

The Shapeless Isle, it is an island far beyond Oceanus. It is here we find our team of badasses. But the question is why are they here? Simple, it was due to a recurring dream Ichigo has been having since the day he rescued Rin and Shura. In this dream is a woman, the woman has long purple hair and wears a blindfold that covers her eyes from people seeing her eyes, she stands at five feet eight inches tall with a very impressive bust. For clothing she wears a black one piece dress with a purple outline that goes down to her upper thigh along with black boots also with a purple outline that goes up to her mid-thigh and black arm bands that cover all of her arms with purple circles on them. The woman is very seductive about her look but there was something wrong.

In the dream the woman was on an island asking for her help for a chance at life. Ichigo finally getting a read on her reiatsu in the dream followed it in the real world and that is where he finds himself currently with his group. On Shapeless Isle.

As the group scoured the island the island for anything like in Ichigo's dream. Ichigo came across a cave entrance that is small and out of the way. Just shrugging it off as nothing Ichigo went and entered the cave. The moment he entered it was automatically lit by fire place on the two sides of him leading him to a gigantic door. Following the fires all the way to the door, he gave an almighty push slowly opening the huge doors the moment he did that he was tackled by a black and purple blur. When the momentum stopped the blur had a chain wrapped around Ichigo's neck with the end of it looking like an enlarged nail pointed at his heart as Ichigo had Quincy Zangetsu against her throat. As the woman who is currently straddling him looked him taking in his very presence. Ichigo was doing the same checking out the woman who was on top of him. As Ichigo looked he realized she is one of the most beautiful woman he's ever seen her competition being, Akasha and Ahri.

As Ichigo was taking her in she was doing the same. She could feel his muscles his broad shoulders, the tamed orange hair that reached the bottom of his neck and the look of determination in his eyes and the feel of warmth he gives off as if he's shielding you from harm. It was then that it clicked, this was the man she saw in her dreams, the man who would save her from this accursed island as she unwrapped her chains around his neck and withdrew her weapon his sword vanished into blue particles.

The woman looked at him and smiled and said, "So it's true, you have come then."

Looking at the woman and remembering his dream it clicked. This is the woman from his recurring dreams. Letting things just flow naturally he placed both his hands on her hips which sent a pleasant shiver up her spine. Ichigo then spoke, "I have… but what is keeping you here?"

"That would be me," Ichigo tipped his head backwards and saw another woman but this one had a different feel from the one who was currently straddling him. The other woman has black hair and long twin tails. Her right eye is red tinted while her left eye is covered by bangs. She wears an astral dress that is made out of crimson and black frills, giving her the appearance of an elegant Gothic Lolita with uneven twin tails. On her head she is wearing a big crimson net bow, holding her hair. She also wears a crimson and black collar on her neck and wears a pair of black pantyhose. She stands at five feet two inches with a bust slightly smaller than the purple haired woman.

Looking back and forth between the two women Ichigo asked, "Who are you two?"

"I am Medusa," answered the purple haired woman.

"And I am Kurumi Tokisaki," answered the black haired woman.

"Well Medusa, Kurumi how do I free you from this island?"

"Simple we have to be bound to something or someone," replied Kurumi.

"I have just the thing."

"You do," asked Medusa.

"Yes, have either of you heard of a peerage or evil piece system?"

The two women shook their heads. "Well my peerage was created after the devil evil piece system with all the perks and none of the drawbacks you see…"

Ichigo then went into detail about the devil evil piece system and how his shinigami pieces were the better version how unlike you became a servant with the devil system it was comradery with the shinigami pieces. There is no master servant bullshit but they could call him that only if they wanted to but he preferred to be called by his name he hated the honorifics and all that. After going into detail and explaining how happy his comrades are right now and told them what pieces they took, they happily obliged to be a part of his peerage it was all positives and none of the negatives like the evil pieces. They would be bound to this hunk in their eyes which was a plus and they could finally get off the island.

Ichigo approached Kurumi as he pulled out his last two vanguard pieces and did his chant, "I, Ichigo Shiba Kurosaki ask of thee, Kurumi Tokisaki to fight by my side as my comrade and together show the world a new beginning." The two pieces glowed as they entered her chest, she like the others felt her power increase and with that a black school tattoo that appeared right above her left hip.

Kurumi smiled at him as he smiled back at her. Ichigo who was now paying attention to Medusa pulled out a rook piece and it also glowed as he poured his reiatsu into it, looking into her well… face since the mask blacked him from seeing her eyes he chanted, "I, Ichigo Shiba Kurosaki ask of thee, Medusa to fight by my side as my comrade and together show the world a new beginning." The piece glowed and entered her as she like Kurumi felt her power increase along with the black skull tattoo that appeared on her right hip. She then smiled at him. She the gorgon and Kurumi the spirit were finally free from this island. As they walked out of the cave Kurumi had his left arm glopped while Medusa had his right.

After a few hours of walking he was met with the weird reactions from his fellow peerage members. Akasha, Ahri and Mirajane were trying to burn holes into Medusa and Kurumi. Eucliwood along with Kagura were stoic but you could feel the lightning coming from them directed at the two new members. Chad and Shura had amused smirks while Rin was, well Rin. He stared at Ichigo mouth agape pointing at Ichigo about an unfair life. But out of them all Mordred was the most amusing. She looked conflicted. She didn't know if she should skewer the two new girls or just let it be as she was very prideful. Either way it was hilarious. All of a sudden they heard screaming.

Chad being Chad looked and as sighed, Chad and Ichigo looked at each other and said, "Only Nel."

Ichigo then looked at his other friends and said unless you don't want to be caught in the crossfire I suggest you either stand back or someone snatch her out of the sky." Medusa took the initiative and whistled loudly. A pale white horse with wings came to Medusa as she jumped on and flew to catch the adult woman with childish tendencies planning on ramming Ichigo and suffocating him by boobs. What a way to go. Medusa caught the young woman and flew down much to the arrancars chagrin.

Nelliel is a curvaceous and well-endowed with long waving greenish-blue hair, a crimson line that runs across her face with a ram skull on her head. She wears a fully white arrancar uniform with black socks. She has hazel eyes and stands at five feet nine inches tall. She also has her Zanpakuto strapped to her hip.

Ichigo looked at Nel and said, "How did you find me Nelliel?"

Nel just smiled and said, "Dirty blonde man let me know where you are plus he said something about allies and I always want to help Ichigo so here I am."

"There's no changing your mind is there?"

"Nope, none at all."

"Alright, alright come here." Ichigo poured his reiatsu into his last piece, his knight and chanted, "I, Ichigo Shiba Kurosaki ask of thee, Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck to fight by my side as my comrade and together show the world a new beginning." The piece entered Nel as she felt her power increase along with a black tattoo appearing on her stomach. It was done Ichigo had finally completed his peerage now he just has approximately thirty weeks to train and get to know his peerage better who knows what the future holds

To be continued

Authors Note: I formally apologize for how long this took to write. True it is the longest chapter I have written by probably 10K words so hopefully that makes up a bit. I felt like I was dragging this out a bit so I sped up like the last few members out of pure annoyance I'm sorry for that. The reason this took so long was due to work, college, depression and talking to recruiters. I hope to get at least 2-3 chapters out before I ship out for basic and tech school in Texas. So I'm going to wrap this up since my first drill is tomorrow so please read, Review, Favorite and Follow.
