Ok, so before I begin with the second instalment in as many days I would like to say that it really blows that I only have one review, I mean really even though you could potentially influence the way the story goes there has been no say to that matter, but for one person.
Anyway Review please and peace out.
Bleach #2
It had been a week since Ichigo had walked out of the captains meeting and for some reason hollow activity seemed to have triplicate in the last week.
For the most part his friends had decided to let him do his own thing until he calmed down, the vizards had taken the same approach and Rangiku had phoned in to report the situation of one of the most powerful individuals in the world.
As Ichigo walked from his school back to his house he came across a girl wearing a dumb looking hat.
"Can you find me candy?" asked the girl.
"Find it yourself kid I don't have time for you, or your problems" said Ichigo sidestepping the girl and continuing on his way.
"We demand that you find us some candy" said the girl with an air of authority about her.
To which Ichigo paid no heath and kept walking till he bumped into an enormous guy. The man was tall and muscularly built, like Chad, with sunglasses and bold, and next to him stood a man shorter than Ichigo wearing gloves with black hair. Both were wearing black shinigami outfits and were looking at Ichigo with glares on their eyes.
"Apologise to Lady Rurichiyo" said the smaller of the two.
Ichigo looked up to the sky and saw that several gargantas had opened and that hollows had started pouring out of them without discrimination, he pulled out his shinigami badge and pressed it to his chest instantly turning into his soul self.
He took Zangetsu out as he used Shunpo to get closer to the enemy, he extended the sword in front of him and the cloth raped around his arm as he shouted "Ban-Kai"
Instantly a black and red Reitsu wave filled the sky revealing an small figure dressed in a black long raged coat, start killing hollows so fast that the eyes of the people on the ground could not see them.
All of a sudden blue arrows started flying from right to left, making Ichigo back off and land next to Uryu.
"What the hell are you thinking Uryu?" said Ichigo anger clearly seen in his face "you could have shot me"
"I wouldn't have" replied the Quincy cockily I am too good to miss.
At that moment Rangiku came running followed by Orihime, Chad and Shinji.
"Ichigo" shouted Orihime as she ran toward them.
He turned around and looked at them he smiled when he saw Orihime, Shinji and Chad, his friends were once again coming to his aide, however he frowned more so than usual when he saw Rangiku running with them, he could not believe the audacity of Soul Society, to send a fuku-taichou when he had explicitly said not to be bothered by them.
Uryu saw and felt how Ichigo's Reitsu changed from a calm but giant pressure to a strong and cold one focusing in on his surroundings.
"Ichigo wait and let her explain herself, before you go on and start ricking havoc" said Uryu "I think that you will like what she has to say, and if not at least you'll see that soul society is not entirely against you"
Ichigo looked sceptic, but looking at how Rangiku wasn't even looking at his eyes and was standing at the back of the group behind Shinji, he realized that listening was not going to hurt him any at all.
He nodded to Uryu and placed Zangetsu on his back as it changed into the giant clever and he walked towards his body that was lying on the ground, he entered it and left towards Urahra's shop at a leisurely pace with his friends and Rangiku tagging along.
"So that is your Ban-kai" said Rangiku trying to start a conversation with Ichigo "I had never seen it before" she looked at him and when she saw that no answer was forthcoming she continued "I heard Hitsugaya-taichou and Kuchiki-taichou talking about how powerful it was but to tell you the truth I don't really see it that way, it is sort of anticlimactic you know, Hitsugaya-taichou has this strange mix of himself and Hyorinmaru and Kuchiki-taichou gets a multiplication of Senbonzakura , yours is just so small"
Ichigo's brow furrowed and his spiritual pressure became even denser around them, he walked a little farther away from them and seeing this Uryu said to her "don't take it personal Rangiku, he is stressed and feels betrayed by the soul society, he sees you at the moment as a potential threat and therefore will try not to get close to you or reveal any information to you"
Rangiku's face fell and she sighed "I had no idea that we had screwed the relationship with him so badly"
"Explain it to him and don't hide anything that he asks you" said Chad from behind them "He doesn't trust you now and any lies that you could say would make it less likely for him to trust you, anyway you should probably try to sleep at his house, maybe spending time together could help you build a relationship with him"
Rangiku looked shocked at that statement, first because it was Chad and second because they were pushing for her to move in with Ichigo, who was the only person to be featured in the Shinigamis Women's Association calendar that wasn't in the Gotei Thirteen.
She nodded and they kept walking and finally they reached Urahara's Shop.
They saw that Urahara had the door opened and that to his annoyance when he entered the sitting room there were already four people sitting there, Youruichi, Urahara, Kenryu and Enryu.
When they saw Ichigo they frowned, face which Ichigo copied, as he sat down next to Urahara, Rangiku sat next to him, Chad net to her, Orihime next to him, Uryu next to Youruichi and Shinji in the last remaining spot, what many people didn't know was that although Ichigo got annoyed with Urahara quite easily, he still felt him to be his teacher as well as Youruichi, which meant that although he not always showed it he did care about what they thought.
"Why are you here Lieutenant?" asked Ichigo without looking at her directly but obviously directing his comment at her.
Enryu and Kenryu frowned at the name he used, since the last thing that they knew about them was that Ichigo and his friends were allies of Soul Society.
"Well you see Ichigo the thing is that" she began but when she looked over at Uryu and Chad both of them were shaking their heads, so she sighed and started again "I was sent here by captains Hitsugaya, Zaraki, Ukitake, Shunsui and many others who feel that the actions of the Head-Captain were not what we should have done when you called for help, as such I was sent to let you know that we are and we will fight alongside you if you give us another chance that is" she finished.
"Why is it you and not Rukia or Renji?" said Ichigo steal frowning, but this time at least he was looking at her in the eyes and she blushed slightly at the intensity behind those eyes, people would have thought that for a person his age he would have eyes full of life, but the truth was far different than that, his eyes could have looked at home in the face of someone at least her age and to know that he had done it to save the people that he loved without asking for anything in return.
"Because the captains and Renji and Rukia thought that you would take it as a blackmail and a cheap shoot and therefore sent me instead, who you know but at the same time don't really have a relationship with you" she looked down at the table and added in her mind 'at least not now'
He nodded and looked at the other tow and then to Urahara "what are these two doing here?" he asked the later.
"Well you see Kurosaki-kun this two gentlemen are the bodyguards of the Kasumioji Family's heiress Rurichiyo and they are here to talk to you" said Urahara hiding his face behind his fan in his sing-song voice.
He nodded to Urahara and looked at the tow strangers with a raise eyebrow as if waiting for them to say something.
"Apologise the Lady Rurichiyo at once commoner" said Enryu with an angry expression on his face.
"For what?" asked Ichigo with a coldness in his voice that only Shinji knew that existed and he paled considerably by this.
"For brushing her off like you did, you are a shinigami and you owe her your allegiance and your duty to protect her"
At that moment they saw something that only Orihime and Shinji had seen when Ichigo was in his Shinigami form, his eyes turned black and his irises turned yellow he then spoke in a voice that had an eco into itself that chilled everyone to the bone.
"I owe my allegiance to know one" said Ichigo and The tow bodyguards felt that they wanted to be at any other place but where they were at the moment "I am not a Shinigami, I am a Vizard and as such I am at a stalemate with Soul Society and therefore I will not protect someone who I have no relation whatsoever to"
"But she is a child" said Enryu while Kenryu nodded surely you can protect a child and a princes to boot.
"I have to sisters to look after and I will look after them, if as you say is true and the Shinigami should be protecting her, then by all means ask Lieutenant Matsumoto to help protect her, but let me warn you, should you try to drag me into the fight willingly, your precious Princess will have me to worry about as well"
Ichigo stood and nodded to his friends then he walked to the door that led to the outside, before he did that, he turned to Urahara and said "Thank you for the badge replacement, it works just like the old one"
Then he turned to Shinji and said "I will go by tomorrow so that we can train" and he left towards his home.
As he was reaching the corner of the street, he turned around when he felt a now familiar presence behind him, he turned to see Rangiku standing there waiting for him in a school uniform just like the one that he saw Rukia wear, and a button up shirt that did nothing to hide he huge breasts.
"Do you mind if I stay at your house Ichigo" she said
Ichigo thought about it, maybe having her close wouldn't be such a bad idea, noticing that there were people in the city that apparently needed to be protected by her and with her there he could keep tabs on what Soul Society was up to.
"Ok" he said before continuing to walk towards his house without saying another word.
