Chapter 2: Memories By Sugarcult
"Shinji-kun!" said Orihime surprised as she uncovered her tear stained eyes to see the people standing there. They were a strange looking group. Urahara had tensed his hand going up to re adjust his hat over his eyes to avoid eye contact with the group not ready to face him yet. Never ready to face Isshin, First his wife, now his son, to his own kind. He knew the assassination team will use anything to kill there target, hence why Ichigo's body was in the state it was in when they found it.
"Oh, Hello Orihime-chan, my first love!" said the blond, smiling goofy as he waved to her, his front teeth showing like usual, making the others sweatdropped at his antics. Those who know him had seen this before.
"Your not his first, he says that to every pretty girl. Including me." Said the brown haired braided, bespectacled Visored as she pushed her glasses up. The short blond haired girl in pigtails growled angrily before stomping on Shinji's foot, making the man yelp and hop on on foot in pain. "Never said that to me you Idiot!" She said Glaring, making it obvious to the others.
"You said he was one of you, that means you are Visoreds I assume." said Uryu breaking the awkward moment between the two blonds, glancing coldly as usual at the bunch. He too regarded the bunch as Strange but also a bit worries since they did confess that they were half Hollow.
"That is correct, We are former captain and Lieutenants that were forcefully hollowfied by Aizen." Said Brown haired woman again as she crossed her arms. "I am Lisa, You already know Shinji, The short one is Hiyori. This is Love, Rose, Mashiro, Hachi, and Kensei." Each one gave a signal putting the names with the faces.
"If they would condemn Trusted Captains and Lieutenants, think of how little discussion it would of taken to kill a boy once known as a Ryoka." said Hachi sadly thinking back to the times they a talked a little as he healed him of his wounds while training.
"So...the berry-head is really gone?" Asked Hiyori as she noticed the bloodied body. She didn't want to admit but she did like Ichigo a bit but will quickly deny the fact to anyone. The mood sobered back up at the mentioned of the deceased. A stale quietness enveloped the group as they all turned to what was left of Ichigo, An empty broken shell
"It must of been Soi Fon, She is head of the OnmitsukidÅ after all, a trained Assassin..." Said Yorurichi as a cold fury brewed inside her knowing she won't hold back the next time she seen her protege, if she can call her that anymore.
"Yes it was Soi Fon who killed him, but I heard it was from orders from Yamamoto himself, it has to be, without the council of 46, it places him in charge of everything now. And knowing the old man he is as traditionally versed as they were." said Urahara, He had thought that with Aizen's betrayal they would disregard the law against Shingami obtaining any type of hollow powers. And them hoped afterward they would see as long as they could control it, it would actually be useful. He had miscalculated this and Now because of his mistake the most promising one was dead.
"Yes but Soi Fon always follows her superior's orders, no matter what." Said Yorurichi still fuming. Another stillness came upon them as each began reminiscing about the hot-headed teen. Despite not knowing him long, the Visoreds felt like they had lost one of there own.
Looking around Urahara noticed something on the ground a little ways from the body. He walked over to investigate, All eyes following him. He bent down, picking it up as it was a Hollow mask. He walked back over to show the Visoreds. " Hey thats the berry-heads mask." said Hiyori as she wouldn't forget Ichigo's Inner hollow as it choked her.
The three crowded around to look at it, shivering as such an evil looking and feeling thing belonged to there deceased friend. "I saw one when I was healing him After his fight With Zaraki, it protected him. I thought i disposed of it." she said observing it as well.
Shinji snorted "You can't just 'get rid' of a hollow mask, He'll just create a new one, It's obvious he at least fought his attacker, but without Ichigo's amount of damage he usually creates they surprised him, cheap shot." he said observing as it served to fuel everyones anger. Urahara pocketed the mask to look at and save for later.
A gasp quickly drew the groups attention to the kind hearted Orihime. "Oh no! Who's going to tell Ichigo's father and Sisters?" said Orihime, making everyone pale as they remembered he had a family that had already lost a mother. Those who knew Isshin's true identity paled a little more, not knowing what the ex-captain might do in his grief.
"Don't worry Orihime-chan, I'll take care of...Kurosaki-san." said Urahara moving to pick up Ichigo's body. The Visored and Yorurichi pitied the man having to tell him but no one stepped forward to volunteer, even just to go with him. "You better not stick around human's will be around to investigate." Said the unusually sobered man before disappearing in a flash step to the Kurosaki Clinic.
Yamamoto waited calmly as a captains meeting was called, the mission had gone off without a hitch. All accounted for except for the traitors, He stood up, knowing few will have an outburst about his decision but no one would stand up against him. "I have called you all here...to tell you that Substitute Shingami Ichigo Kurosaki has been found wielding illegal Hollow powers along with the missing captains Also using Hollow powers Lead by a one Shinji Hirako." he stated as a few of the captains gasped, the three oldest winced as they remembered them well.
"Furthermore the safety of the Soul Society, I found his Status of a Human/Shingami/Hollow mix to be too dangerous and ordered the Punishment force to Execute him without trial. " he said waiting the outbursts.
"What!"
"But Head Captain Yamamoto!-"
"You mean to tell me You Killed him! I still had a rematch with him!"
"You know he was the only one not under Kyota Suigetsu's hypnosis, we needed him to fight Aizen."
"SILENCE!" ordered the head captain as he rapt the end of his cane containing the powerful Zanpakuto on the floor as the chatter quieted down. "As you know the Chamber of 46 is deceased and as the new ones being Chosen I am in Charge of Soul Society, What I say goes. This meeting is now adjourned. " he said. "Kurotsuchi, a word If you please."
The captains bowed and left the chambers. Kyoraku and Ukitake was immediately discussing it as Zaraki disappeared to relay it to his squad. Toshiro, angry as well as it reminded him of his fight with his friend for Hyorinmaru. Byakuya knew his sister would be upset, along with his lieutenant. He stopped beside Ukitake. "I shall Inform Rukia of what transpired here. Will you send her to my Office please, thank you." he said before disappearing.
Byakuya knew it was wrong, despite his quarrels with the boy, he had gained his respect by helping him fulfill his wife's last wish. He sat, doing paperwork as he waited for his sister to come. A few minutes passed as the door opened, Rukia walking in, Still in the white hospital clothes as she was still recovering. "Will you get Abari as well." he asked not looking up. Rukia nodded and poked her head out to get her friend in as well.
"You will want to be seated for this." he said putting the brush down as he stood up. "I wished to be the one to personally tell you both, That Kurosaki...is dead." he said. "What! Why? How could he be dead?" asked Renji as he stood up, pounding his fists on the desk.
"Yamamoto found evidence that he had gained Illegal hollow powers, along with being a human they found him dangerous and executed him, the Captains now just got word of it." he explained. The two froze, Hollow powers? When, they never seen anything that had reminded them of a hollow.
A tear escaped Rukia's cheek. "It's my fault...If only I haven't given him my power..." she said as she began to cry. Renji on the other hand seethed with anger. "No, you told me he would of died anyway if you didn't give him his power. I'm sure he would of wanted these last few months to live." He said calming as he comforted her.
"It is unfortunate, he was one of the few that wasn't under Aizen's hypnosis, He would of been helpful." he said as the two were surprised at Byakuya's words. It was obvious he hated the orange haired teen. Byakuya debated whether to tell them on the strange hollow like...person in best terms that had surfaced during there fight, but he had gave his word to Ichigo that he would keep it to himself.
"You may go now." he said as he watched the two go. War was just on the horizon and they just lost a potentially powerful Ally...and his friends.
Shinji and the other Visored got back to the Warehouse as Hachi put up his usual barrier. They were all still sullen.
"You know we have to pack up and move again, If they got Kurosaki here, I'm sure they will be poking around looking for us next." said Shinji. They were all used to moving so much especially during the good part of 50 years they were pursued, each began the task as Shinji sighed, they were counting on Ichigo as everyone else was, a means to help see the truth through Suigetsu's Illusions. But fate had cruelly torn him away, it was like it wanted Aizen to win or something.
A sandal to his face had woken him up from his pondering. "Hey! You just going to stand there or are going to get packing, less you want to be caught by Soul Society!" yelled Hiyori. "Yes Hiyori, I'm going to pack, I was just thinking, you should try it some times." he said teasing her. Her response was another sandal that was flung at him. "Alright, alright, I'm going." he said retreating to his room and packed the suitcase back up. Sighing once more.
Urahara got slower to a normal human run as he ran to the clinic. For the humans sake as he needed a story knowing the human police and stuff. "Outta my way!" he said breaking up the people as he saw the small clinic ahead of him. He stopped and hammered on the door as a small crowd was gathering.
The door opened to a black haired girl, She was face to face with the bloody body of her brother. "N-Nii-san..." she said as panic seeped through her. "Is your father home?" he asked urgently. the quickly paling sister nodded and backed up letting him in pointing him to the Emergency room. "D-Dad!" she cried out loudly trying not to loose it.
"Karin whats wrong?" asked Yuzu as she began to come out of the kitchen but stopped as she glimpsed the orange hair, her brother dangling lifeless in the man's arms. "I-Ichi-nii?" she said softly. Urahara swiftly got into the room setting the teen down as he heard the rush of footsteps and the door slamming open "Ichigo!" Said the man as worry was etched into his face.
"Isshin, shut the door." Instructed the blond haired man as the shadow over his eyes didn't betray the emotions he was feeling. The darker haired man did as he was told. "Kisuke? Whats going on...Ichigo-" he started.
"He's dead...I-I'm sorry...The old man found out about his hollow powers...He was executed, not a trace of his spirit left." he said, as he hated to deliver the bad news. " he said backing up as Isshin moved forward to check out his son's body, the first wave of tears began to pour. "I'm very sorry, we got the news to late...we...were too late..." he said as a tear slid down his cheek as well.
Isshin then snapped turning around as he gripped the man's shirt bringing them face to face. "I thought you said they wouldn't react to his hollowfication!" he yelled at him. "You said they would be more distracted with Aizen to notice!"
"I thought they wouldn't either! I-I know...I-I failed again.." he said as he knew he failed a lot of people, especially Ichigo, fate decided it hates him. Isshin let go of him as he returned to his son's side, carefully running his hand through some clean orange locks. Urahara straighten himself as he left, the girls running past him to check on there brother as he left it to the family to grieve together. He could hear the girls crying, looking back to see Isshin hugging his daughters as they cried over their dead brother.
He flashed stepped back to his little shop, a note containing the visored's departure, saying once they settled they will be in contact. Urahara walked pasted the concerned Jinta, Ururu and Tessai as they noticed his sullen mood, to his room as he decided to rest in his room, grieving to himself over the lost student and hope.
"I'm sorry Ichigo, I should never rule out anything, A small mistake you had to pay the ultimate price for it, I wish you the best of luck in the next life, You deserve it." he said regretfully as he took off his hat. Knowing he have to get ready to counter Aizen when he comes. Grabbing a bottle of sake he poured two cups and drank to Ichigo.
"For A life, who has not began to live. But to a lucky soul who's pure eyes will not witness the harsh battles of war, We shall be joining you soon."
