Hello readers. I decided to post alittle earlier because of the reviews that I received. Thank you so much for those nice reviews people!
To Experimentnumber628, I added Rukia to the chapter in the end but I won't make it a romance, I'm currently writing another story with IchiRuki romance.
To Arms of Loneliness, I listened to your suggestions and put a seal on Ichigo. I also put a lot more effort on Grammer.
Summary: Things have changed since the war 50 years ago. Ichigo and his friends have died and all become shinigami but the other captains start to dislike him despite his help throughout the war. Ichigo is too strong for one man to be. Some captains start to plot against him and get rid of him. Ichigo goes back in time instead, taking his place right before he saves Rukia from Seireitei.
Rated T for language and fight scenes.
I do not own Bleach in anyway. It all, sadly, goes to Kubo Tite.
"Hello": Speech
"Hello" : Hichigo
"Hello" : Zangetsu
~The House~ : New location
-Ichigo's POV- : New person's POV
The Next Morning
-Yamamoto's POV-
"Kurosaki Ichigo is here to speak with you."
"Send him in." The huge doors opened to show a confident looking, orange haired captain.
"You wanted to speak with me jii-san?" An invisible tick mark appeared at that comment. He really should learn respect.
"Yes Kurosaki, it is about your powers."
"My powers?" He looked around cautiously, probably wondering if Central 46 was behind this.
"Yes, I want to know that you can control it."
"Yeah I can, my hollow and I came to an agreement. He lends me power in exchange for a weekly trip to Hueco Mundo. I haven't told anyone of this."
"It's good that you're in control but how do you get the Hueco Mundo without permission?"
"Like this." He raised a finger and clawed it through the air. A zipper shaped rip appeared, opening into a black void. It looked like a perfectly made Garganta. I was impressed.
"I see. I would like you to do something that will help both you and Soul Society."
"What would that be? You're not going to take away my hollow, are you?"
"No I wish for you to put a power seal on yourself. Well multiple ones to seal your power."
"I see, and how much power is that?"
"There will be about 75 percent of your reiatsu using 5 seals. That should give you the same amount as Abarai-taicho."
"What! Thats so much! Like hell I'm doing that!"
"Calm down Kurosaki, if you don't. Every time you fight, you'll suffocate your allies and friends."
"Well fine, as long as I can unseal by myself, I'll do it."
"Very well, take off your shihakushÅ and come here." He took off his garb and I raised my eyebrows at the scars that riddled his body. (I'm not saying Yamamoto is gay) I clearly saw his rock hard abs that must have taken years to make, rivaling even my abs. He walked up to me and waited.
"Well there is only one way for you to seal your reiatsu and that is by force. I need you to manifest your zanpaktou spirit as well as your hollow. They need to do it." I saw him close his eyes and concentrate for a while. A minute later, a tall, old man appeared. He wore a long coat that flowed in an invisible wind. He also wore triangle shaped sunglasses. I bowed down to him. Zanpaktou spirits are highly respected.
On the other side of Ichigo, I saw well another Ichigo but this one seemed to be a carbon version. His eyes gave me a chill as he seemed to stare right into me. I guess he was the hollow spirit.
"Oi King, you sure you want to do this? Its gonna make you weak as hell ya know?"
"He's right Ichigo; it may be the right choice now but maybe not the right one in the future. Choose wisely."
"It's alright guys, I need this. I don't want to suffocate anyone who goes near me when I fight." I let them discuss it for a while before they came to an agreement.
"Yo, so how do we do this old man?" the white copy yelled at me. They're pretty similar when it comes to manners.
"You three need to concentrate on your power. Imagine splitting it into parts or slices. Take all but one and store them in a mental box. Put a lock or seal on the box, holding your power there for keeping." I watched as they all closed their eyes, except for the zanpaktou spirit which I couldn't see because of his glasses, and concentrated. The room became heavy but slowly it became lighter, saving me from passing out again. The power was getting weaker in him. This is for the best I thought.
-Ichigo's POV-
I did what I was supposed to do. I imagined my ocean flowing apart into seas and those seas into lakes. I took only one of those lakes and put all the others into a giant cup with a lid. I put a seal on the cup so nothing can go in or come out. So why did I still feel so powerful?
"Be careful Ichigo, you're a lot weaker in this form, but your still a captain class, remember this."
"Bleh just don't be too weak King, or I'll try to take over again." After that the two spirits went back into my head, leaving me with Yamamoto.
"It seems you did it right Kurosaki judging by the seal on you. Seal? I looked down to be met with a total black square spiral on my chest. It was surrounded by 5 red circles. I could feel my reiryoku in it but it did not seep out. So this is what a seal feels like. I feel really different without so much of my reiatsu.
"Is there anything else you would like me to do?" I asked politely.
"No, you are dismissed." I bowed politely again and exited. I really needed to find something out.
~11th Division Training Grounds~
"Oi, do you know where I can find Kenpachi?" I asked to a training instructor.
"Hai! Kenpachi-Taicho should be in his office. I'll send someone to escort you." He grabbed one of the other trainers and told him the situation. He motioned for me to follow him towards a cluster of buildings. After a few seconds of shunpo, we arrived at a large building with the 11th division insignia on it.
"This is it Kurosaki Taicho. You may find Kenpachi Taicho inside." He left with a slow shunpo. I walked inside to find a huge man with long spikes in his hair. There were bells on the tips of them, matching the eye patch on his face.
"Yo Kenpachi, I want to do something with you?"
"Oi, you asking about a fight Ichigo?" He said back with a big grin on his face.
"Actually, that's exactly why I came, let's have a fight." His grin grew even wider as he stood up, grabbing his long nodachi like zanpaktou.
"About time, I know the perfect place. Yachiru, stay here, it's gonna get scary."
"Alright Ken-chan, have fun!" He fled out the door, me closely following him. Soon we met at a clearing somewhere in the 11th division.
"This place is good because we're far out and all around us is sekki-sekki rock. That should hold our reiatsu in here." He said while he got in a battle position.
"Wait, I have a few rules. No dismembering limbs and no releases." While I said that, I brought out Zangetsu.
"Eh fine with me, it's a good thing you learned how to seal that butcher knife of yours."
"Ichigo, he insulted me, give him all you got."
"Don't worry, I have a plan." I brought my sword up to the traditional Kendo pose. He did the same but with only his right hand.
"Do you think that is enough Kenpachi?" I said as I brought down with my sword, dust clearing away from our fighting area.
"I'll be the judge of that" he said as he swung his sword sideways, narrowly missing my waist. This is not working; I need to bring it up a notch. I quickly went onto the offensive, moving at superhuman speeds. Kenpachi's smile got wider as he blocked and parried my strikes.
"Try doing it my way King.". I thought of it as a good idea as I started adding kicks into the fray. Confusing Kenpachi a little. After a few minor cuts and cruises, we split apart.
"Che, guess I'll have to take this seriously" he said as he tore his eye patch off. A yellow hue glowed around him before it tore up the ground around it.
"I'll try that too." I imagined my lake in my mind, much smaller than me ocean but still enough. I thought of the dam holding it breaking apart, exploding my blue and black reiatsu into the sky. We clashed again, more power and ferocity in our attacks. I managed to cut a large gash in his thigh when he attempted to stab. A moment's pause.
"I think this is enough Kenpachi, I only wanted to test my strength with you. I know my power now."
"What are you talking about testing? You were trying before but I could have beaten you!"
"Well Ji-san wanted me to seal 75 percent of my power for safety reason."
~Kenpachi's Mind~
75 percent! He was doing that well but he was hiding that much? I thought him knocking all of us out was a fluke, but it must be real. Damn Ichigo, when did you go and become so freaking strong. You're leaving me behind here! I better think of something to do...
-Back to Ichigo's POV-
I watched as he absorbed the knowledge. His crazy grin turned into a frown as he looked back up.
"I'll see you later Ichigo-Taicho. Thank you for this fight." He shunpoed off towards the 4th squad. What was with that sudden respect towards me?
"Ha-ha, Yo king. You got one of the strongest captains to respect you! Damn, it's at these times I like having you as my vessel."
"Shut up Hichigo" I said mentally before I went towards the 13 division.
~13th Division~
The calm captain headquarters was interrupted as an injured orange hair walked into it.
"Ukitake-san, do you know where I can find Rukia? I haven't seen or talked to her since the exam."
"Ah Kurosaki-kun, she's over with her brother at the Kuchiki manor."
"Thanks" I yelled before leaving.
"Wait." The captain's voice stopped me from going away.
"Kurosaki-kun, I have two things to speak with you about."
"Aw can we speak later? I really need to go meet Rukia."
"Please." His face gave off a wave of seriousness. I sighed before sitting back down.
"The first thing first, it has been decided that you will not participate for the rest of the exam and the rest will be only supervised by So-Taicho."
"Wait why? Is it because of what happened before?"
"Yes and that leads me to a second point. There are rumors going around speaking of a group of people setting out to capture you. They believe that you are a threat and that you should be better off not alive."
"Ugh, those people are stupid. I'll be leaving now." I got up, ready to leave before a group of words stopped me.
"There are also rumors that there is a captain among them, maybe two."
More traitors! This reminded me of Aizen which seriously angered me.
"Do not worry, if they try anything. I'll end them." I left the room, leaving a scared looking captain.
~Kuchiki Manor~
"Oi Rukia, you here?"
"Shut up strawberry, I'm in my room." I opened the door to find the short shinigami that was also my first and one of my closest friends.
"Sup Ichi-Holy Crap, what happened to you!" Her eyes wandered over my bloody body. "Get over here and sit down so that I can heal you." I followed obediently, laying on the floor in front of her. Her hands glowed green as she started healing my cuts. I shivered as her hands ran over my body.
"HA, you could have healed those cuts with instant regeneration but you actually wanted some treatment didn't you!"
"Shut up Hichigo." I said for the second time today. He was a little right though. My feelings for Rukia had grown a bit over the years but I could tell she thought of us just as friends.
"It's alright Ichigo. I don't mind her being Queen. Bet she's good in bed too..."
"SHUT UP!" I yelled mentally. Damn that's the 3rd time today.
"Alright, that's everything. You sure your alright Ichigo?"
"Yeah I'm fine, thanks Rukia." I sat up and started talking with her as the night dragged on. It was good to talk to her again.
~Somewhere in Seireitei~
"So is everyone hear?"
"Yes I think so."
"We will strike tomorrow, am I right?"
"Hell yeah we are!"
"Shut up you fool, someone will hear us!"
"Whatever."
"Does everyone know the plan?" Everyone nodded.
"Good then. Tomorrow we capture Kurosaki Ichigo."
Well that is another chapter. I know it is a little short but Regents week really steals your time. As you can see, the treachery has entered the story. There is also a little IchiRuki in the end but thats minor. Next post around June 8 because of school but if I have more motivation from reviews, I might post earlier. Please Review! Arigato!
