Chapter Two: The Beginning, The Guardian, and The Warnings
As Ichigo walked to Urahara Shop, he couldn't help but feel nervous. He didn't stand a chance against that Vice-Captain before, hell he couldn't even land a on him when he called his ZanpakutÅ name. Kisuke even said that the chances, even with his training, he might not make it back home alive. He shook his head, no he can't be scared beside Rukia saved his family life before by giving her powers to him and now it was time to return the favor. When he made it to Urahara Shop he saw that not just Kisuke was there but Chad as well.
"Chad what are you doing here?" Ichigo asked as Chad stood up.
"Rukia once saved me," Chad said. "I'm going too."
"What you didn't hear," Ichigo heard a voice behind him and looked to see Ishida
"Ishida?"
"No way will I remain defeated by those Soul Reapers. I'm going as well."
"Now we're all here," Once again he turned to see Orihime.
"Please look after me." She said while bowing.
"Huh? Hey! What's going on!" Ichigo was pretty shocked that his three friends are going as well however it wasn't over yet.
"Your right Kaa-chan he is slow," An unknown voice said, causing everyone to look at the source. Yoruichi was heading toward the group someone that only one didn't know but only Kisuke and Yoruichi knew the small yellow Kisune that was following her(or him in Ichigo and the others case) The Kitsune was about half the size and length of Yoruichi and walked beside her, his eyes big and sky blue and the small tail waving behind him.
"See Naruto that's why I don't leave you with Kisuke for too long," Yoruichi said, as she and Naruto walked up to the group. "You might become like Ichigo here, powerful yet slow."
"Yoruichi!" Ishida greeted. "Who is the small fox?"
"Ah yes none of you met him yet," Yoruichi said, placing a paw on the small kitsune's head. "This is Naruto my son."
"Hi!" Naruto happily greeted them. Orihime, with speed no one know she had, disappear and reappear right in front of Naruto and hugged him also blocking his ability to breath with her large breasts.
"Ohh he's so kawaii! I just wanna hug him and never let go!" She yelled as she death hugged Naruto.
"Orihime-chan I advice you to let go before you kill him." Yoruichi said, as the orange haired girl let go of the kitsune were he gasp for air.
"Why does every girl do that, I'm not kawaii. I'm a fierce some kitsune." He tried his best looking more scary and growled(can foxes growl?) but only made himself look more kawaii and Orihime barely held back her urge to hug him again while Yoruichi laughed at her son antics. Ichigo, however, stood shock the entire time.
"You really are slow not noticing the increase in the hidden powers of these three. During your training to become a soul reaper again, these three were also training in there own way. Instead of criticizing them, you should bow and thank them. And I bet your all wondering why Naruto is going?" She said, once again placing her paw on Naruto's head. "Well I promise him a trip to the Soul Society on his last birthday."
"I wanna see all the new people I can prank!" Ichigo looked at the two talking animals in shock before yelling.
"A CAT AND KITSUNE JUST SPOKE! AND HOW CAN A CAT BE RELATED TO A KITSUNE ANYWAY!"
"This is his first time meeting you too Kaa-chan?" Naruto asked looking at her.
"Yes, I guess Kisuke never mentioned me while you were training him." She looked at the store owner.
"I thought I did, guess he forgot while trying to stay alive," Kisuke said. "Anyway enough talking, its time for us to go!" He led the group into the shop and closed the door behind them.
Underground Training Room
"W-wow all this space under one little shop, its so cool!" Orihime admired the surroundings which caused Tessai to thank her and made tears fall from his face. Kisuke called everyone attention by clapping loudly.
"Ok everyone here we go!" He snapped his fingers and appeared a white gate. "Behold the Senkaimon, the gate that will lead you to the Soul Society. Now I want you all to listen very carefully but first," He appeared behind Ichigo and pushed him out of his body. As everyone gathered around the Ichigoless body, Yoruichi and Naruto sat on a rock watching them.
"Are you sure you want to go Naruto?" Yoruichi asked him, giving him a concern look. "The Shinigami there are very powerful and dangerous, some of them will kill you if they get the chance." She was completely against bringing Naruto to the Soul Society, but he made her promise that she would one day.
"I'll be fine Kaa-chan beside you, Kisuke, and Tessai taught me a lot and I can defend myself." He did have a point, Naruto was a fast learner, and very well adapt at using Hakuda and Shunpo, and his sword skills were nothing to laugh at, even if he didn't have a sword nor a zanpakuto , he is still just as dangerous as anyone on the team. Only his Kido skills were rather lacking, he can't use any high level kido spells or it would blow up in his face. But he can still perform good binding spells.
"Just remember stay by my side the entire trip and if we somehow get separated stay in your Kitsune form. Your less likely to get in trouble in this form than your human form."
"Alright Kaa-chan." They both jumped off the rock as Kisuke finished explaining about the four minute time limit they have and what would happen if they don't cross over in time.
"W-what do we do?" Orihime asked.
"Go forward," Yoruichi said, getting everyone to look at them. "I told you that the heart and soul are connected. The important thing is what you feel in your heart and the will to move it forward. I will be your guide but I will only guide those who can follow me." For a second, no one said anything then Ichigo stepped forward.
"Are you done talking yet?" He said. "Why do you think we're here?"
"So you understand if you fail, you cannot return home." Ichigo nodded his head as did his three friends as well. A bright light got there attention and they looked at the gate which Kisuke and Tessai were now opening.
"Ok on the count of three, run though," Everyone tensed as the gate glowed brighter.
"One," 'Rukia saved my family.' Ichigo thought with a determined look.
"Two," 'She helped my brother find peace.' Orihime thought with a graceful look.
"Three," 'She saved my life.' Chad thought one eye showing a determine fire.
"GO!" 'I refuse to take my defeat laying down.' Ishida had a look of revenge in his eyes. They all ran though the gate as it opened and a bright light engulf them. When it was gone, only Tessai and Kisuke remained, who stood up and tried to touch the gate, only to receive a shock from it.
"I'm counting on you, Ichigo."
In the world between the Living and Soul Society.
Ichigo and the gang were currently running for there lives from a dark purple wall that was chasing them.
"What is happening? We just got here and the place is already collapsing." Ichigo said, looking at the purple wall.
"If you have time to talk and look back, you have time to run," Yoruichi said as she ran beside Naruto who was keeping pace with her. "Just don't let the walls touch you, otherwise its all over." A large section of the wall came crashing down that managed to grab Ishida's cape and began pulling him back. Ichigo turned around and was about to use his zanpakuto to cut it but Yoruichi stopped him.
"Wait Ichigo! If you use your zapakuto you'll be caught in the current as well." Chad ran behind Ishida, grabbed his cape and ripped it off.
"T-thanks, huh?" Ishida was surprise as Chad grabbed him and threw him on his shoulder and began to run. "Hey! Put me down, I can run on my own." He stopped complaining as he saw something coming from behind the wall. "W-what's that?" A dark object that looked similar to a train came crashing though the wall and began to chase them now.
"It's the Cleaner, it comes once a week and it had to be today." Yoruichi said while Naruto looked at it. As he did he could help but be remembered of the nightmares he had, the two voices. That's when it happen.
"SET ME FREE!"
Naruto cried out in pain as he suddenly felt a massive headache, causing him to fall over in pain.
"Naruto!" Everyone yelled. Yoruichi ran to him and use her mouth to pick him up by the scruff of his neck,(Think how a lioness carry there cubs) right before the Cleaner touched him.
"Is he alright?" Orihime asked as Yoruichi caught up to them, carrying the small kitsune in her mouth.
"I'm not sure but first let get out of here." She managed to say. They saw the way into the Soul Society and picked up pace.
"It's no use, it's too fast!" Ishida said as the Cleaner got faster while Orihime turned toward the wall and said.
"Hinagiku! Baigon! Lily! Saten Kesshun! I reject!" A triangular wall appeared in front of her and blocked the Cleaner, also causing a large explosion which pushed them all though the gate.
Soul Society
In a peaceful little town, a door opened up and shot out the gang. A dust cloud covered them for a second before settling, showing that only Chad had landed on his feet, arms pressed to his chest for some reason. Yoruichi didn't feel Naruto's fur in her mouth and began to look around, fearing the worst.
"Yoruichi-chan." Chad called out, getting her to look at him. He moved his large arms to show that Naruto was safe, just sleeping soundly against his chest. Yoruichi sighed in relief and gave him a graceful look which he returned with a smile.
"I'm so glad, no one got really hurt." Orihime said, only to receive a headbutt to the eye by Yoruichi.
"What's there to be glad about!" Yoruichi yelled as Orihime held her hurt eye. "Didn't you listen, don't use your powers in there. Your just lucky that the Restrictive Current only made contact with the shield and not your flowers, otherwise you won't be here right now."
"S-sorry."
"Eh don't be hard on her, at least we made it though. By the way," Ichigo said as he looked at the small kitsune that was in Chad's arms. "What's wrong with Naruto?" Everyone looked at the black cat for answers.
"I'll explain when I get the chance, but for now Chad do you mind carrying Naruto until he gets up?" She asked the large teen.
"Of course not." He said. Soon everyone took in there new surroundings.
"Is this the Soul Society?" Ishida asked.
"Yes, this is the Rukon district , the Drifting Spirit Town. This is were new souls begin when they first arrive here, and is on the perimeter of the Seireitei where the Soul Reapers stay. It's the poorest district but the one with the most freedom and largest number of souls out of all the others." However, despite that not a single soul was in sight.
"But where is everyone?" Ishida asked again as Ichigo looked to the side, noticing a difference.
"Hey why is it so different over there?" He asked.
"That is..." She was cut off as Ichigo suddenly exclaimed.
"I got it! That's where all the Soul Reapers stay at, the uhh whatever." He ran forward, surprising the cat.
"You baka! Get back here before you die!" Ichigo looked back just as a large wall slammed into the front of him, blinding eveyone with a dust cloud. When it cleared, the way was now with something massive.
"It's been a while since someone tried getting into the Seirei Gate without a travel permit," Ichigo looked up to see a extremely large, muscular man who had his hair is tied into a pony-tail, which extends done his waist. He has long sideburns, which continue down onto his neck and long enough to be tied up in small pony-tail like tufts. He is wearing armour on his left shoulder/upper arm, and a red hat with tassels. The left side of his chest his left exposed by his uniform. "Your a rare guest kid."
Seireitei
Within the wall, several Shinigami looked at the gate.
"Those Ryoka really managed to break into the Soul Society," One said. "At least they landed on the other side, so we don't need to take care of them."
"Yea especially since the one guarding that gate," Another said with the numbers 69 tattooed on his cheek. "Is Jidando."
Other side of wall.
The giant slammed down his axe right in front of Ichigo. He laughed as he stared down at Ichigo.
"Now try to come at me from any side, kid."
"So huge." Orihime said as they stared at the man if you can call him that.
"He's way too huge to be human, just who or what is he?" Ishida asked.
"His name is Jidando, he's one of the four best picked to guard the gates that lead to the Seireitei. The gate we're trying to cross is the White Road Gate.
"Gate? Does that mean we have to beat him?"
"Yes, and it won't be easy, since the 300 years he been on duty guarding the gate, not a single soul had been able to break into the White Road Gate. He is legendary for his power and strength."
"So how do we beat someone like that?"
"First we come up with a plan to take him down with, hey Ichigo!" She was surprised again as Chad gently put Naruto onto the ground and ran forward with Orihime.
"Get back here! Both of you!" Jidando saw the both of them coming and cut his axe into the ground behind Ichigo and moved it to the left. That made an effective makeshift wall, blocking to two path.
"I don't like people with those kinds of manners, I guess your country bumpkins. Now listen up, we have rules in the city, first wash your hands before you enter it. Two, don't eat food that fallen on the food. And three, when you fight, it's one-on-one." This surprised the two, now knowing that they can't help Ichigo.
"I'll fight you all once I'm done with my first opponent which is the candy haired kid." He turned his back to them while Chad began making a plan to break and surprise the giant. "What?" The two looked at the man as he turned his head toward them. "Are you still planning something?"
"He has pretty good ears." Orihime commented to which Chad agreed with.
"Oh Orihime, Chad!" They heard Ichigo call from the other side.
"Ichigo are you alright?" Orihime yelled back.
"Yes I'm still kicking but you two just stay back."
"Huh?" They said in unison.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Ishida ran up to the wall and yelled.
"No, I refuse! Our time is limited, instead of fighting him solo, let us come over and help you. That way we can take him down faster and get going."
"Oh your there too Ishida?" The Quincy blushed in embarrassment and yelled back.
"Quit asking stupid questions!"
Within Naruto's mind
While all of that was happening, Naruto,still in kitsune form, was back in his mind, only this time the darkness wasn't there nor the barren land. Instead a large grassland expanding as far as he could see and he was underneath a large tree, covering him with shade.
"Nice to see your back," Naruto heard a voice, it was close yet distant like the wind.
"Who there?" He asked.
"I'm not surprised that you don't know me however, you'll meet me soon, but that is not why I called you here," The land around Naruto began to wither and die.
"He knows your here now, I don't have much time. Listen, when you encounter him, you must be prepare to fight to the end. He'll use anything to his advance to win. So be ready for anything." The dying lands began to break apart as the wind began to roar loudly.
"Wait, whose he?" Naruto yelled over the roaring winds as he held onto the tree which was pulled out of the ground by the winds. The voice said nothing before saying.
"You'll learn in time young one, but be prepare to fight him when you do." The tree got ripped out of the ground and sent Naruto flying but a flash of light blinded him and before he knew it, he was gone. The land settled down as the land began to fix itself as two voices began to speak.
"Why do you try to protect him, he'll need my powers sooner or later." The dark voice said.
"Because if he solely relies on your power, he'll be consume by it. He needs my powers as well."
"Still it's his choice to pick, but the question is, will be able to control one of us? Or all three?"
Soul Society
Naruto awoken to the sound of clashing and was met by his Kaa-chan golden eyes. "Naruto are you alright?"
"Yea Kaa-chan but where's everyone?" Yoruichi pointed to the makeshift wall as Jidando kept hitting someone while counting, or tried to, to ten.
"Who is that?" Naruto said, getting back onto his four feet.
"That is Jidando, the gate guardian and right now Ichigo is fighting him."
"It's time for the finisher!" Jidando yelled as he swung the axe to the side and hit Ichigo also taking out the wall he made and made a large mark on the gate behind him.
Jidando looked shocked at something as he said, "W-what?" The last of the wall crumble to reveal Ichigo had blocked the giant's axe and had not even a scratch on him.
"Are you finished yet," He said, swing his Zanpakuto to the front of him. "Then its my turn." Everyone was surprise by the outcome of what happen.
"Wow he doesn't even have a scratch on him from all those attacks." Naruto said in awe.
"I guess Kisuke training did well for him." Yoruichi said, impressed by Ichigo's power.
"I'm not done yet," Jidando reached into his uniform and pulled out a second axe. As he raised them above his head, he called on his Reiryoku, causing him armor to break apart. "Now its time for my final lethal attack! Banzai Jidando Matsuri!" He swung both axes down at Ichigo who only said.
"Sorry but I'm going to break those axes." He hit the axes with his Zanpakuto, causing two effects. One, the axes shattered, and two he somehow caused an explosion with Orihime blocked against, shielding her, Uryu and Chad. When it cleared, Jidando fell back against the gate in shock.
"What did Ichigo do? He sent that giant back easily." Uryu said in a surprised shocked tone. Jidando blinked at what happen before getting up and laughing.
"Ha I bet you thought I went flying, that can never happen. I faked that you country bunmpkins. Now I'll shall defeat you with my axes huh?" He finally notice that his axes were broken and did something unexpected.
First he was shocked into silence and then he started to cry, really loud.
"MY AXES ARE BROKEN!" He yelled while pounding on the ground, causing everyone and the ground to shake as he did.
"Uh Kaa-chan are all shinigami here like this?" Naruto asked, feeling a sweatdrop at the back of his head as he watched the scene before him.
"I really don't know Naruto," Yoruichi said, feeling a sweatdrop as well. "But if they are, I guess a lot changed when I last came here." Chad, Orihime, and Ishida watched as well.
"Well he crying, now what?" Ishida said, a sweatdrop falling.
"His voice sounds like a siren." Orihime randomly said.
"Um.. hey sorry for breaking your axes," Ichigo apologize as he rubbed the back of his head. "I didn't need to break them, how bad of me."
Jidando crying slowed down as he replied, "No. Y-you're not bad. We're enemies but you are concern about me," He suddenly grabbed Ichigo with his large hands.
"You have a big heart."
"Well if you see someone crying, you should at least try to comfort them."
"And look at me, crying over my axes like when a kid favorite toy breaks," Jidando said as he stood up. "I'm a loser," Throwing his arms into the air, he went on with his rambling.
"A complete loss, as a warrior...as a man! I completely lost!" He looks down at Ichigo. "It's been a while since I became the guardian of the White Road Gate, I never lost once. You are the first person to defeat me in combat," Jidando wiped away some of his tears. "Pass! I, Jidando, give you permission to go though the White Gate Road."
"Huh," Ichigo was still a little surprise at Jidando act but his mind caught up to the last thing he said. "Y-yeah!"
"So we can all pass now?" Ishida said.
"Yes, I lost to your leader which means all of you can go. I have no right to stop you."
"Huh! Ichigo as our leader! No way!"
"Why are you so upset?"
"Your name is Ichigo?" Jidando said, looking at the group. "That's cute." This got Naruto,who was now sitting on Orihime's head, to laugh loud enough for Ichigo to hear.
"Shut up Naruto! Besides Ichi means "one" and go stands for "protect"! It's not cute but if you want to see something cute here!" He sudden grabbed Naruto from Orihime and held him out for Jidando to see. Jidando, seeing the little kitsune, dropped down his knees to get a better look at him.
"Aw its been a while since I saw a baby kitsune." He used his pointer to scratch Naruto's little head and despite it's size, it was gentle. However, Naruto didn't like being called cute.
"Let me go Ichigo," He bit Ichigo's hands but his small teeth couldn't really do nothing to his hands. "Besides remember our mission!"
"Oh yea, sorry." Ichigo put down Naruto who went back to Orihime's head. Jidando then got and and placed a hand on the gate.
"I don't know why you are all going though this gate but on the other side, the shinigami are strong."
"I know that." Ichigo said with a smirk.
"Well then as long as you know. I'm going to open the gate so stay back. Don't get scared, it'll only take one heave." He dugged his hands into the ground underneath the gate and pulled up, opening the gate as he did. Most of them stood impressed by the fact that the huge gate was lifted.
"I never thought that it could be lifted." Ichigo, however, noticed that Jidando was standing still, as if he was looking at something.
"Hey what's wrong? Why are you standing still like this?" Ichigo said, running to his side and then he noticed the scared expression on his face. Ichigo heard footsteps and turned toward the Seireitei and saw a man with a fox like grin wearing a shinigami uniform with a zanpakuto by his side.
"Who's that?" Jidando, despite being scared, said.
"Captain of the Third Squad, Gin Ichimaru." Naruto quickly jumped to Yoruichi's side.
"Kaa-chan is that really him? The one who.." He was cut off as Yoruichi spoke.
"Yes Naruto, but don't say that out loud," He said. "Now stay behind me, this man is more dangerous than most shinigami." Naruto nodded and stood behind Yoruichi.
"Oh this isn't good," Gin said. Suddenly a gash appeared on Jidando's right arm, causing him to let go. But he still held up the gate with his left arm and back, however he was forced this his knees by the weight of it. Everyone was shocked as Ichigo called out his name.
"Unacceptable," Gin had a hand on his Zanpakuto like he was the one who cut Jidando despite being far away. "A guardian isn't suppose to the gate." Yoruichi was currently looking at their situation.
'We were careless,' He thought. 'I didn't think someone like him would come all the way here. These kids don't stand a chance against a captain at their current level. They cannot fight him, we must avoid the worst possible scenario!"
Jidando spoke up, despite the pain he is going though. "Ugh I lost! And because of that, a gate guardian must open the gate."
"What are you talking about," The captain walked forward, toward the gate. "Even if you lost, you ain't suppose to open the gate. When a gate guardian loses... it means "Death". At the end, he had a evil smile on his face which scared the injury guardian even more. Ichigo ran forward and attacked with his zanpakuto but Gin blocked it with his own. The force pushed each other back and Ichigo pointed his zanpakuto at Gin.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"That's my line!" Yoruichi yelled from behind.
"Don't just come here and butt in like this, besides anyone who attacks an unarmed guy will be killed by me."
"Ha your funny kid. Ain't you scared of me?"
"No!"
"Stop it Ichigo and come back now," Yoruichi yelled. "We need to retreat for now."
"What! No way I can beat this guy."
"Oh your name is Ichigo Kurosaki." Gin said getting Ichigo attention.
"You know me?"
"Oh not much," Gin then turned around and walked back. "All the more reason why I can't let you pass." He held his zanpakuto out to the right.
"How are you going to attack me from that far? Are you going to throw your sword?" Ichigo asked.
"Throw it? No," He looked back with an evil grin. "I'm going to stab you with it." He turned toward Ichigo and held his right arm, which was holding his zanpakuto, back and said. "Shoot to kill ShinsÅ." His sword suddenly expanded in length, and Ichigo barely had time to block it. However, the force pushed him back into Jidando and pushed the two of them back. Jidando landed knocked out while Ichigo got up rubbing his head. As the gate closed, Gin said,
"Bye Bye." The group ran to Ichigo and asked if he was ok to which he replied yes and looked at the now closed gate.
"Damn."
Later
"The other voice told to be careful when you are going to fight the dark voice?" Yoruichi asked again as they walked around the Rukon district. As Ichigo and his friends looked around and decided to meet up later at the Elder's house , Yoruichi wanted to talk to Naruto about why he fainted in the World in Between. Naruto explained why he did as well as his dream he had. They were currently in there human forms nearby a small river within a forest they found. Naruto inherited many traits from Yoruichi, like her lack of modesty and dislike of clothing. Which explains why neither of them were wearing clothes. Naruto was still eight years old but he was a little bit taller than before.
"Yes Kaa-chan, The other voice made it sound like that I'll need to fight him," Naruto said, looking at his refection in the water, as some fishes nibble on his small toes.
"It was like it knew that I would need to fight him for something but it just couldn't tell when." Yoruichi looked at her son, deep in thoughts.
'That voice is now warning him of the other? What going on with my son?' Yoruichi sighed as she sat down beside Naruto.
"Listen Naruto, I want you to know that no matter what, I will be by your side no matter what," She gently scratched behind his ear, which got him to purr slowly. While Naruto didn't like to be treated like a baby, he always accepted this kind of attention from his Kaa-chan. "And not just me, Kisuke, Tessai, Ururu, and Jinta."
"Don't forget Ichigo and the others," Naruto said, smiling. "I know that I just met them a few hours ago but I can tell that they are good people." Yoruichi smiled as well. Whenever Naruto accepted someone like this, she knew that he was right.
"Ok them too," She noticed that it was getting dark. "Come on Naruto back into your Kitsune form and let go back." Naruto nodded and in two puffs of smoke, they were back in there animal forms and dashed off.
In the Elder's house
"So your saying that we can't go though the other gates now?" Ichigo asked. The group was in the Elder's house and was looking at a map in the dirt.
"Yes they most likely increase security within and at the other gates. Beside the same strategy almost never works twice." Yoruichi explained.
"I agreed." Ishida said.
"Well how do we get in now?" Ichigo asked.
"Kaa-chan what about your friend, Kukaku Shiba?" Naruto asked from beside her.
"Ah yes good idea Naruto, Elder do you know where Kukaku Shiba is?"
"W-what?" The Elder asked.
"I understand that she likes to change residences, and I haven't had the time to find her home."
"Are you really planning to go though that way?" The Elder sounded scared and shocked.
"That way?" Orihime wondered. Outside the group heard noises and looked at the door.
"Huh? What's that noise?" The door broke down as a person fell though, following him was a boar with a red ribbon on it.
"A boar?" Ishida asked as he looked at the animal.
"Damn, that the fifth time this week Bonnie threw me off," The man dust himself off and gave a two finger salute to the Elder. "Hey Old Man how you been?"
"Ganju, what are you doing here at this time of night?" The Elder asked. "Go back home now!"
"Some greeting and I haven't seen you in forever and when I finally decided to visit you want me to go back. And look at your guest, they're shocked by your rudeness. Huh?" Ganju looked at Ichigo and noticed that he was wearing Shinigami clothing.
"What," Ganju took off his glasses to get a better look at him. "What is a dumb, dirty, and pathetic Shinigami doing here?"
"What?" Ichigo asked as Ganju walked closer to him.
"Not what," He walked up to Ichigo and began to slap him lightly. "What is a dumb," *slap* "dirty" *slap* "and pathetic" *slap* "Shinigami doing here?" Ichigo looked at him, growing annoyed with each slap but kept his anger from lashing out at him.
"Hey can't you talk? Or are you too stupid to speak, you dandelion head-" Ichigo then gave him a mean left hook which sent Ganju flying. Well at least he manage to keep his anger from knocking out some of his teeth.
Ganju landed near the broken door and got right back up, holding his injury cheek. "Hey! What was that for? You picking a fight?"
"That's my line! And beside you started it by insulting me and slapping my face! You primeval boar!"
"See what happens if you ain't raise right Naruto," Yoruichi said to Naruto as Ichigo and Ganju argue. "You would become a pervert like Kisuke, a hothead idiot that charges head first into things like Ichigo, or a person who randomly insults anyone they see that they don't like Ganju." Naruto nodded at her facts.
"Should we do something?" Orihime asked Yoruichi but Naruto answered her question.
"I say we let them fight it out, at least that way we get some entertain out of it."
"Good idea Naruto." Yoruichi patted his head.
"By the way who is that guy?" Ishida asked the Elder.
"You don't know who I am," Ganju said, wiping his chin as everyone said no. "Well I'll tell you anyway, I am Ganju, the self-professed Crimson Bullet of West Rukon District, the self-professed most "want-to-be-your-big-brother" candidate, and self professed number one Shinigami hater in all of the West Rukon." Everyone looked at him with sweatdrops forming.
"So what your saying is," Naruto said as he jumped onto Orihime's head. "Your a winner of three fake titles that you made up yourself and a nobody that hates Shinigami."
"That's right," Ganju said with a large smile but his head caught up to the words Naruto said. "WAIT! I'm not a nobody and for your information my friends gave me those titles."
"Let me guess, all four of them." Yoruichi smiled at her son. He also inherited her sharp tongue and witty comebacks for anything.
"Hah! If a baby kitsune can insult you like that, then your hopeless." Ichigo said with a smile.
"S-shut up! you you strawberry!"(Ichigo translate into strawberry as well or is my Japanese wrong again?) Ganju yelled and tackled Ichigo outside. Ichigo's friends were about to run to him and help but four people blocked them.
"Sorry but we can't let you cut into Big Brother fight." Four more boar riding people blocked there path.
"Now get outta here," Ganju yelled at a downed Ichigo. "As long as I'm alive, no Shinigami will be allowed to enter in the West Rukongai!"
"Kaa-chan," Naruto said from inside, hearing the words that Ganju said after deciding to jump off of Orihime's head. "Ain't everyone here beside us technically dead?"
"Now that you say it, yes they are." Ichigo then gave Ganju a foot to the face.
"Cripes don't you ever stop talking! Beside if you want to fight, then bring it on!"
"How dare you punched my handsome face a second time!" Ganju held a hand to his face.
"I kicked you the second time idiot."
"Ichigo stop fighting and save your strength for real enemies, not in this meaningless fight." Yoruichi spoke up from near the door.
"Hey he started it, so if you want us to stop tell him."
'Sheesh! Getting work up for something this childish. I swear Naruto acts more mature than him sometimes.' Yoruichi thought.
"Alright then no more talk, bring it on Strawberry!" Ganju grabbed a hatchet out from it's cover.
"Stop it Ganju," The Elder said as he went out of the house. "He isn't an evil Shinigami."
"Shut up, beside Shinigami are Shinigami no matter who they are," He looked at Ichigo. "Get ready!" He ran forward toward Ichigo who was weaponless.
"This isn't good, he doesn't have his Zanpakuto!" Ishida said but Chad ran passed him and hurled said item at Ichigo who caught it.
"Thanks, Chad!" He removed the wrappings and held it out toward Ganju who was still rushing forward.
"Huge! So that's your zanpakuto however," The two clashed weapons, sparks flying between the two metal. "Just because you have a bigger weapon, doesn't mean that you will win!" Ganju made an outline of a circle in the ground and pushed Ichigo's sword on to it. Somehow the sword began to sink into it.
"What!"
"SINK!" The sword was engulf by the now quicksand ground and Ganju kicked Ichigo away from it.
"Why you cheater, using weird tricks." Ganju brought down his hatchet onto of Ichigo who blocked it by catching Ganju's wist and countered with a punch to the face. Ganju recoiled and held his face.
"I'll admit if that didn't drop you then your tough." Ganju ran forward empty handed and the two began to fight with there hands. Ganju, while the bigger and stronger looking of the two, was slightly slower while Ichigo was able to block and counter most of his attacks. Ichigo threw Ganju behind him and almost stomped on his head but Ganju rolled out of the way in time. Ganju got up and ran forward, ready for another round but speaking of time.
An alarm clock on the pink robes wearing guy back rang out, causing everyone to look at it. Ganju tried to stop himself but ended up tripping himself.
"What time is it?" He yelled getting back up, not bothering to wipe his face of the dirt and blood.
"It's bad Big Brother! It's already Nine!" The alarm clock wearing one yelled.
"Oh man she is going to skin me alive! Bonnie lets go!" The boar jumped over Ichigo, missing him by a few inches, and landed in front of both of them. However the boar broke the ground as it landed which sent Ganju flying forward before he finally stop. Instead of being mad, he praise the boar.
"Nice job Bonnie, but we don't have time today, hurry and let me ride you!" The boar gave off an odd shine in its eyes before running forward and knocking Ganju up into the air and catching him on his way back down.
"Wait a minute your running away?" Ichigo yelled as Ganju landed backwards on his ride.
"No I'm not, we'll finish this tomorrow got it Strawberry! Just wait until then! Let's go everybody!"
"Hey that's my line!" Ichigo was trampled by the four other boar riders.
"Wow they're all gone." Orihime said while Ishida placed a hand on Ichigo's shoulder.
"That was a disaster, I'm speechless." Ichigo stared at the way Ganju and his friends went before yelling to the sky.
"Damn him! Just who the hell is he?"
Later that night
Everyone was currently asleep on some futons that the Elder provided them. Everyone was sleeping on there own separate futons while Yoruichi was curl up around Naruto. The small kitsune was kicking lightly in his sleep and had a pain expression on his face.
"No get away." Sweat went down his face as he mumble in his sleep.
Naruto's Dream
Naruto, in human form this time and wearing a small orange jumpsuit(Like his own in the anime but smaller size and no goggles) Behind him a cloud of darkness was engulfing the land like before. This time it manage to engulf Naruto who began to look around in the darkness, scared.
"I finally caught you child," The dark voice spoke. Naruto, however, gather his courage and yelled back.
"Whoever you are, I'm not scare of you!" The dark laughed lightly.
"You have guts child, I'll give you that. But I'm here to give you a warning about the other voice. The one that seems nice." Naruto was confused by his words.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that voice is nothing but a lier, one that will gain your trust before he stabs you in the back," Looking closer into the darkness, Naruto could see the faint outline of something. "Trust me child, if you chose him then he'll betray your trust."
"Why are you telling me this!" Naruto yelled as the outline began to move.
"Because you are the only one that can give me the one thing I desire the most, Freedom," The winds began to blow away the darkness. "Guess he found out your here, be prepare to chose child, for if you make the wrong one then everyone you hold dear to will die." The darkness completely engulf Naruto which caused him to disappear.
"You just made things wrong." The other voice spoke.
"In my defense, I was protecting him from you as well, like you did with me."
"But now it'll only be harder for him to chose."
"Well only time will tell who he'll pick."
One thing was for certain, Naruto didn't sleep well that night.
