A/N: Yes I found out all about those spelling mistakes in the previous chapter, I will try my hardest to not do anymore of them as much. Sorry guys, also sorry for the delay, work has been harsh lately.
Gust of Power:
Zephyrus had already felt and seen Shinigami before in his old hometown, they weren't all that bad, but he knew that the ones he saw where no where near the more powerful ones, Ichigo was on a whole other level from them and he could feel the Reiatsu seeping off of him and it was frightning at times. Zephyrus sighed as he watched out to the sky from the roof of his home, his hands in his pockets. He had shown part of his true colors to them, the wind blowing gently his hair aside showing his other eye for once, a Dark cobalt blue, piercing anything it saw. A smile played across his face gently. He was starting to think of something he wanted to do, something he would think as fun. He slowly made his way down to the front door and put on some rollerblades, he was going to go out and follow them to see what they were up to.
"I will find them, maybe I could do something for them as well. They need all the help they can get, and most of their friends are powerful, but some of them are just too weak for the Arrancar's... I've seen them, maybe the weaker ones, but still...They are focusing here in Japan, that's why I came here. I will need to thank my Mother for bestowing her gift unto me before passing away. Zephyr! Come to mine aid and place thy wind's wrath at mine feet!" As a blowing gust of wind took off, as he speed through the downtown area, people wondering what that gust of wind all of a sudden was.
He was something special, something that most people had long forgotten about in the past. His mother's past and his own past. His family had been the inheritor's of a race named: The Elementalists. Humans with the ability to command over the very fabric of nature. Water, Air, Earth, Fire, Spirits, Metal, Light and Darkness. The 8 elements of the world. Thing is, further in there was 2 other elements, ones that none but a select few in his clan had the ability to see and even fewer to command, Life and Death. His mother being one of the last ones to control these last two, bestowed upon her own son the pressure and dangers of her gifts, while giving up her life she saved his and gave him the ability of both new elements. The way these Magic users, as most would call them, were to control their abilities was through sheer spiritual powers and strength, without it, their own powers would destroy them, as well as to shout out an Incantation derived through both the user and the Elemental spirit. His most fundamental skill was in the Air spirits, but he had mastered a few other spirits as of yet. Thing is he had never even dared touch the source of Life and Death. Knowing full well the penalties if he failed at them. He slowly came to a dead stop all of a sudden scaring a few people, since during the trip he had been a blur and almost unidentifiable to others.
"About time I picked up on his reiatsu...Bloody moron is just letting it drag all over and leaving all these people at risk..." He looked over to see him battling with a minor Hollow. He smiled and looked around, 5 more were coming out. Rukia's detector still not picking up on them, almost as though they were stealthed. "Morons?! Look behind you for once in your life!" As he shouted at the two, who turned around just as one launched at Ichigo and the others at civilians. "O Flame of thine master's heart, well up into thy master's palm, O burning passion burn through thy Enemy and Destroy them!" As a few sparks flew into his palm, then 4 balls of flames shot out, most people would feel the heat off of them but not actually see them. As they tore through the Hollows, they burst into flames and disintegrated.
"H-h-h-h-how'd you do that?!" Ichigo blurted out after destroying the one that came after him. Rukia was looking at him, it resembled it a bit, but was also completely different from what she used, and most shinigami used. Kidou.
"Was that Kidou you used right then Arashi-kun? Or rather...A form of it?" Rukia blankly and pointedly asked, being as blunt as usual.
"Well...Actually it's not even close to Kidou, since it's not actually Demonic magic, but rather Elemental Magic...Cause you see...As you probably summized right now is that I am one of the last remaining Elementalist Clan members. Not pure of course, but able to hold my own, it's how I've survived all this time on my own..." Zephyrus explained calmly and slowly for Ichigo. "Also I believed I asked you to call me Zephyrus, I hate the formalities."
Later that night in Ichigo's room
"Oi! Oi Ichigo! Wake up Ichigo!" As a flying roundhouse kick landed across his face and sent him flying across the room into his closet door. He got up and looked at rukia about to yell at her and try pummeling her when he noted herexpression.
"Yeah...What's up Rukia? You aren't yourself since we finished those Hollows and found out what Arashi-san was.." He asked calmly as he sat back down on his bed looking over at her slightly worried.
"It's exactly that... It's Arashi-kun...Elementalists were a fundamental project created by Shinigami, by bestowing power into a Human soul we were able to view tremendous things, similar to the Bounto...But the thing is, elementalists are much older and much more powerful than the bounto in the fact they can control the very fabric of Nature...in such a circumstance we trained them, we taught them everything...Then they were pretty much our frontline assault force against hollows in the human world...Similar to the Shinigami's we send out now. We only send them out now since most of the elementalists died out from being attacked at a young age before their powers could developpe...But there is another thing. The last 2 styles they can master, the elements of Life and Death, These Elements were not to have been created and mastered by them. As such, They were ordered to disband and destroy all means of training their younger offspring to learn their abilities. Thus killing them off slowly." She started to explain, trying to remember it all herself, it had been a long time since this happened, she had just learnt it in a class of history a while back in the academy.
"So Let me get this straight, you guys created them, then when they got too pwerful you killed them off? That's what your getting at with this...I wonder why he isn't more pissed at you guys like the Bounto were though...?" Ichigo asked curiously, he would have been pissed beyond words if he found this out.
Rukia nodded and was wondering the same thing, was Zephyrus just playing with them so he could betray them or was he actually genuinely trying to help them. She was so very confussed that things were getting out of hand and fast.
Urahara's Shop
Ared haired boy opened the door when he had heard a knock. He looked up at the stranger's appearence, he looked so odd. "We are closed for the night. Come back lat..." he was then cut off before he could finish by a blonde man in a hat, and wooden sandals holding a cane.
"My my Ginta...What manners have you for a special invited guest of mine...Please excuse the young one, he didn't know what he was doing. So what can I do for you today?" The Blonde man asked with a smirk and one eye opened and narrowed at him.
"I need to make sure that my new tool shall be here soon. I shall be having it delievered here... I also need you to modify it slightly... I will be here to help with the midifications when it arrives. can you do it for me?" the visitor asked. he was calm, polite and very intuitive to the man in front of him. Like they knew each other from before.
"I most certainly can help you out! I will expect it to be in Cash too I think. But otherwise, just let me know when you shall be stopping by after I receive it. I figure it's no minor modifications like the others in the past? Might this be what I think it is that you are bringing? If it is, I see you are going all out in this vendetta you have...I can assure you, once you befriend ichigo Kurosaki, you shall be able to finish it off. Till then... I guess this is farewell till we receive it. Have a safe night home." the Blonde man asked curiously at the same time as confirming paiement form. the figure in front of him nodded and turned around.
"One last thing, you trained him well, but the Hollow in him is coming out faster than he can handle it. He needs to master it soon or all is lost in this world and the spirit Realm. Now I bid you good night Urahara Kisuke-san." The figure gave a small bow before turning around again and exiting the door.
Urahara's eye still on him, his composure non changing, he waved goodbye but his expression was different than his tone of voice and he had been expecting a visit from this special customer for a while now. "I will notify you once it arrives..."
