Author's note at the end and thank you computer, for screwing that up, you can suck me. (*Genuine anger)
"Okay kid last question, what is the name of your zanpakuto?" Urahara narrowed his eyes a bit when he asked this question.
Ichigo twitched a little at that question. "N-name? For my, what did you call it? Zanpakuto?"
Urahara nodded his head and his eyes narrowed behind his fan, his instincts were screaming that the person standing before him was powerful. Very powerful. More powerful than Ichigo should have been, especially this early into the story. And his power had the disgustingly strong scent of a certain captain that put urahara immediately on edge.
Ichigo frowned and looked back at his sword that was firmly strapped to his back. "The guy who told me about you said something about that." I just can't seem to remember what his name was. E-erm, I think it was Amen, or Eren… or was it… Uhh."
Urahara's eye's snapped to Ichigo's blade and started to subtly reach for his zanpakuto. "Hey kid," he started, "was the name you are looking for Aizen?"
Ichigo's eyes snapped from his blade back to Urahara, so suddenly that Urahara immediately launched himself at Ichigo. Ichigo flailed backwards grabbing his blade, before he started to run. Running straight through the sliding door, he started running at an absurd speed. So fast in fact that Urahara Immediately used flash step to appear in front of him. "Aizen," he growled "you can drop your illusion, I figured it out."
"Oy! What the hell do you think you are doing you crazy bastard?" Ichigo yelled out as he ground to a halt. "I just wanted some answers and you tried to kill me!"
Urahara's eyes narrowed as he raised his sword. "Sorry kid, even if what you say is true, I can't let you go knowing you could be controlled by Aizen. So fight me, die with honor and be reborn without Aizen's power controlling you." With that Urahara launched into a flurry of quick strikes with his zanpakuto. "I wish you luck on your journey kid." and with those words said had flashed behind Ichigo and started to sheath his blade. Ichigo stood there in shock. The last word he heard was "Farewell." as he slowly split in half.
A black swallowtail butterfly rose from his corpse and started to fly off. Urahara turned around and walked back to his shop, Knowing that come morning Ishin would be banging on his door demanding an answer, and he would need his rest to run away. He gave one last glance at the retreating butterfly and then with a swish of his coat turned away and vanished into shunpo.
Aizen watched the screen in front of him with irritation and disbelief. 'What would cause that damned man to kill him? His academic mind should have told him to let the kid grow.' He was now rubbing his forehead with his hand as he leaned back in his chair. 'And Ichigo, why couldn't he have just run away. He had his speed, which should have let him escape.' "DAMMIT!" Aizen stood and threw his chair at the doorway, which had just opened revealing a grinning Gin.
"Well now, what is goi-" he was forced to dodge to the side as the chair went sailing past him. "Aizen-Taichou? IS something the matter?" His grin impossibly widening, "Did something, Not go according to plan?" Chuckling at his own joke he watched as Aizen grabbed the chair next to him and sat down.
"We have a slight problem. Ichigo Kurosaki, the boy whom I had taken an interest in, was killed by Kisuke Urahara." Gin's eyes opened slightly in shock. "I have made plans, and plans for when those plans fail, however I have only one or two plans left that will be moved forward with this development." Gin slumped a little at hearing that the almighty Aizen had a plan for this eventuality. "For this plan to work, I will still need the boy." Aizen thought his hands buried in between his steepled hands. "Gin! You and Tosen will need to search the Rukongai until you find the boy. Start on the outer districts and move inwards."
Gin grinned a little at this. "Is that all captain Aizen? 'Cuz if so, Tosen and I will be leaving."
Aizen nodded and Gin followed Tosen out in a flash step. Aizen groaned and kneaded his temples. "This certainly is annoying. I wonder if Ichi-." He paused as he felt something He immediately reached out with his senses and laughed. "At least it won't be that far of a walk." He joked to himself before flash stepping out of the room. He appeared in a desolate town at the edge of the seireitei walls. He started to walk into the town and felt the feeling grow stronger. He ignored the pointing and the stares he got as a captain, and continued his leisurely walk, a grin slowly forming on his face.
He stopped outside of a small house deeper into the heart of the first district. It was a quaint little house with almost features distinguishing it from any other house. He stood on the doorstep and raised his hand to knock. The door was suddenly pulled open and Aizen was forced to dodge as a teen with bright orange hair and a scowl plastered on his face swung at him. The teen froze as he realised who the man was. His scowl, if possible, became even deeper as he started to walk towards the shinigami. "What business do you have here shinigami? We have no need for the likes of you."
Aizen blinked and considered his options, deciding finally he started to speak. "I am here for you, reach and touch my hand."
Ichigo slowly reached out and touched the man's hand. He immediately jerked his hand back, as if burnt. "What the- you feel just like me, or I feel like you… whatever. What was the meaning of that. Does this mean I am a shinigami? Does this mean I am like the people who leave us to rot. 'Cuz if so I don't want to be like you." Ichigo turned around and started to walk back inside.
Aizen reached out and grabbed Ichigo's arm, "Please let me explain. Can I come inside?" Aizen slowly let go of his arm as Ichigo regarded him coldly.
"Fine, come in and tell me what you want." Ichigo turned around and walked through the doorway, holding it open in a form of mock respect. Aizen smiled anyway, although inside he frowned at the arrogance the child before him showed.
Aizen sat in front of what looked like a small coffee table. In one of the corners of the room were a woman and a small child. Aizen smiled sadly at them before reaching into his shihakusho and pulling a loaf of bread out of plot-device land. He held it out to them and the child started to run forward with an arm outstretched when the mother stopped him. Aizen smiled more and said in his softest voice, "take the bread, I have more than enough and it is the least I can do to help those who are taking care of Ichigo." The woman nodded and let go of the boys hand, who ran forward grabbed the bread, and ran back to his mother
Aizen chuckled at the display before turning to Ichigo. "Ichigo, I have been looking for you. You gave me quite the scare I can tell you." He lightly chuckled at this, and inwardly sent a glare at an annoying shopkeeper. "I am here to take you to the soul society."
Ichigo crossed his arms and glared at the man sitting in front of him. "Why do you think I want to go with you? I am doing just fine here, have been for a while now. Where were you when I needed help?"
Aizen's eyes widened and he looked at Ichigo for a moment. "How, How long have you been here? When last I checked you should only have been here for a few days."
Ichigo chuckled dryly, "Yeah, a few days… after about a year of being chased just to get a bite to eat, I wound up here. Then A FEW DAYS LATER, guess who comes along but a shinigami. Always late to the party."
Aizen held up his hand and Ichigo immediately closed his mouth, he was rude and crass but at least he wasn't a fool. "I truly believed you were only here for a few days and for that I apologize. I am here to take you with me so I can train you. If you so wish you can refuse. However if you do so, you will lose your best chance to protect everyone, and isn't that what you want? To protect?" Aizen stood, and started to walk away. "I will step outside for a moment to let you think about my offer. Please choose correctly."
Ichigo glanced at the man as he closed the door behind him before rushing over to the mother of the small child. "Shizuka, I want to go. If i get stronger I can protect you and Kiyo, please give me permission to leave."
Shizuka threw her head back and laughed. "You don't need my permission to leave, if you think it's for the best than go. Just promise to come back once you are a big shot staying with a high and mighty shinigami."
She ruffled his hair and Ichigo grinned. Turned around and started for the door, he paused with his hand on the door knob and turned to say "Thank you." with that he closed the door and left to join the shinigami. He stood in front of the man in front of him. Black shihakusho with a white haori, brown hair slowly brushed to the side, and glasses perched on his nose. He looked at him and with determination shining in his eyes asked, "Please Shinigami-sir, teach me. Help me to get stronger. Help me to protect!"
And Done! Lotsa stuff happened in this chapter and I'm sure you are all wondering what it all means. But first a huge, HUGE thanks to my sister for helping me write the outline and part of the story! You are awesome! Also thank you to Fractoluminescence and CreativeStrife for Reviewing!
Okay explanation time! Ichigo getting his powers from Aizen goes to urahara. Urahara at first thinks that Ichigo is Aizen hiding as someone, Urahara finds out Ichigo was given powers by Aizen and comes to the conclusion that Aizen is controlling Ichigo (He's not). Urahara kills Ichigo and sends him off to the soul society. A rare occurrence happens when Ichigo's butterfly gets lost in the dangai getting thrown back in time by a year. Aizen loses his cool and in a fit of rage throws a chair. Aizen sends Tosen and Gin to find Ichigo in the lower districts. He then tries to find him himself and finds him in the first district. Finds him and is greeted by Ichigo who has learned to be suspicious of Shinigami, and has temporarily lost his memories. Ichigo is talked to by Aizen and the Chapter closes with Ichigo begging Aizen to teach him with that corny ass 'I want to protect!' Line.
Side Note: Gin was meant to be an almost Deadpool like character. But anytime I tried to put it into the story it just didn't work, or it felt weird, so… sorry no Deadpool Gin.
Well that's it! Read and Review!
Hunter The ODG, Signing out! Chao!
