Originally i had chapter 2 and 3 together but i decided to split it. i'm also going to try and lengthen the chapters as well but we'll see when it comes to it.
(1 year later)
A white gel like substance now covered Ichigo's sweating form. Everyday after school for the past year he had come to the warehouse to train himself to get stronger. He had succeeded in becoming stronger and still continued to train past his limits.
Over the past year he had discovered a few things about his fullbring abilities and its limits. So far he had mastered a high-speed technique which he called lightbringer simply because every time he used it a flash of green would come from where his feet had 'touched' the ground or air, and depending on how much power he put into it, a small sound could be heard reminiscent of a sonic boom. He also had a few very powerful attacks that would surely reduce some buildings to rubble if he were to go all out in one attack. However that would lead to him being drained of energy and unable to move.
"Hey Ichigo" a familiar voice yelled.
"Hey Tatsuki," he replied tiredly "what are you doing here".
"To kick your ass of course" she replied with a smirk while laying her school bag against the wall of the warehouse.
"That stopped happening ten months ago" Ichigo also smirked to which Tatsuki pouted "I thought you'd remember that".
"Yeah weeellll…you cheated" she replied with a victorious look, head held high. "You probably used your abilities against me" she said while walking over to him.
"No I didn't…fine you win…but I still didn't use them" Ichigo shouted.
"Jeez you didn't have to get so loud it was a bit of fun" Tatsuki mumbled.
"Still heard you" Ichigo grinned.
"Yeah what ever you still have teach me how to fly" Tatsuki replied.
(Flashback)
About two months after Ichigo beat Tatsuki in karate practice she would follow him to see if he did any other training outside of the dojo. Although every time
She would try to follow him he would up and vanish as though she were chasing a figment of her imagination. However one day he stopped and confronted her in an alley about following him, to which she answered "I've been following you because I know your going somewhere and something's going on with you, because ever since that happened you've just disappeared for hours on end and then returned like nothings happened" she said angrily in an almost shouting voice.
"Nothings wrong," Ichigo replied trying to put her at ease, however her face just contorted from an angry scowl to one that was of a madman/woman "seriously" he said a little worried about the state of the person in front of him, she just leapt and grabbed him tackling him to the ground.
"Don't lie," she said "People aren't ok when they disappear for hours on end everyday like you do" sounding a little worried now.
Looking over her quickly Ichigo noticed that she was genuinely worried about him, making it much harder for him to continue not tell her. However while her emotions were pouring out of her so did energy similar that of a hollows.
"Do you know what you just did?" he asked her curiously. After that she calmed down a little and then began to look scared of him as though she thought he was about to hurt her.
"No" she replied shakily, while getting up off of Ichigo and backing away a little.
"Have you ever seen someone close to you die" Ichigo said warily stepping into dangerous territory.
This caught Tatsuki off guard, unsure of how to reply until she shook her head.
"This isn't right," Ichigo thought "either that or my theory on how I got my powers is wrong…maybe her parents had contact with a hollow before she was born, that would also explain how I got my powers seeing as how mum could see them and evaded it as though it were second nature".
"Ugh" Ichigo yelled in frustration "I got it wrong".
"Got what wrong," Tatsuki said getting a little pissed "are you saying it's a bad thing that someone close to me hasn't died".
"No" he yelled in fear of being consumed by Tatsuki's wrath "nononononono, what I mean is that I might be able to tell you what I've been doing"
How the hell does that have to do with someone being dead or not" she yelled at him.
"It doesn't I swear," Ichigo replied terrified of the aura the girl before him was emitting "I just thought that for someone to have abilities like mine they had to see someone die".
"Oh," Tatsuki replied stupidly, and then it hit her "wait! abilities like yours?" she said confusedly.
"Yeah look" Ichigo said and held his hand out summoning some reishi to his hand so it began to emit a black and red substance to which Tatsuki decided to poke and prod as would an analyst.
"What is it?" she said while slipping her hand through it.
While finding it amusing to just see the look on her face he decided to reply "Beats me, although I heard some shinigami talking about the stuff, called it reiryoku or some other weird shit," he said casually "I sensed some stuff in you too, like this" he said holding his hand forward "although I'd stay away from them if I were you though, cause we've got similar energy to the hollows they kill".
"What?" Tatsuki said sounding as though that was the biggest load of shit she had heard in her life…but then again there was that stuff Ichigo was holding 'reiryoku' as he called it.
"Never mind that for now," Ichigo said waving his hand in front of him trying to bring Tatsuki's thought processes back to the current conversation "meet me tomorrow after school with your karate gloves." He said turning around and started to head off to presumably home.
"But those are only for competition" she said curious as to why he wanted her karate gloves.
"Don't you want to find out what I'm doing with my time after school" Ichigo said prompting her to finish up because he wanted to go.
"Designing party tricks?" Tatsuki asked in a bored manner, while starting to look at her nails indicating she was trying to get a rise out of him.
"What," Ichigo cried shocked that she would think of him like that "no, I'm not designing party tricks" he sighed "look…just do it and I'll show you some stuff" he said and then instantly turned around and ran off before she could reply.
(Flashback end)
And now here they were with both their fullbrings. It took a little while for Tatsuki to come to terms with the circumstances, but it all worked out. Her fullbring at the moment looked like two globes of bladed black and blue reishi, while Ichigo's fullbring was the form of white gel like armor that covered his body with a black under layer where the armor didn't quite cover visible. (Think about the armor he has when he completes his training with Xcution) He also had a blade with a white bandage like hilt, his enlarged Quincy cross in the centre of the guard that has a diamond like shape due to the fact of its immersion in a black and red substance that twisted and turned like smoke passing through air in a gentle manner. And a short blade extending out the top of the guard. (again think about the blade in the cannon just a little different with appearance.
"I already told you it's not flying because if it was I wouldn't be standing in mid air" Ichigo replied with a slightly annoyed tone.
"Yeah yeah I'm just pushin' your buttons" Tatsuki said with a smirk.
"Alright then, lets begin" Ichigo said happy that he had a friend like him.
(Some time later)
"I think I've almost got it" Tatsuki panted collapsing to the floor drenched in sweat.
"Riiigght" Ichigo said standing a little ways across the warehouse from her with a smile and a raised eyebrow.
"Heyyy," Tatsuki whined "don't look at me like that".
"Fine, all right but come on its pretty easy" Ichigo replied with a small laugh.
"Well come on over and I'll show you who's better at kicking the others ass" Tatsuki yelled.
"You can't even move" Ichigo deadpanned.
"…ehhh" Tatsuki stumbled on her thoughts and then replied confidently "…so I can still kick it".
"Come on let's go" Ichigo said heading to the prone form of Tatsuki.
A large grin came to Ichigo's face as he thought of something. Instead of heading to Tatsuki he swerved around her to head to his bag and pick it up.
"Hey! Where are you going, you've gotta help me up" Tatsuki said.
"Do I?" Ichigo replied.
"Yes" Tatsuki yelled.
"Alright, funs over now" Ichigo said bringing a slightly relieved look to Tatsuki's face. He headed over to her and helped her up before they both left the warehouse.
