Ichigo look up from the letter he had just read. A smile came across his face has he has finally became a father. He stood up as Renji came into the room with a hawk on his shoulder.
"Any letters you want to send home lord." Renji asked as he looked at Ichigo, "what happen?"
"Nothing, I just became a father, of twins." Ichigo said as Renji nodded.
"Good sir." Renji said as he walked out of the room. As Renji left two men cam in. One was muscular with teal spiky hair and the other was tall and lanky with a toothy grin across his face.
"Lord Kurosaki, the master would like to see you in the meeting hall." Said the one with teal hair.
"Alright." Ichigo pulled his blade to his side and walked out with the two following behind him.
Ichigo came into the meeting hall, their was a long table in the middle lined with twelve chairs with two off to the side. Sitting at the end of the row was a man with short brown hair. (If you ask me, Aizen looks like a wannabe Super Man or something.) Along the side of the table were other people sitting, among them a female. Ichigo took a seat as the other two went and took theirs.
"Lord Kurosaki." The one at the end said as he sipped from a cup, "What bring s you all the way out into this waste land of sand?"
"A quest to find the Quincy's." Ichigo answered as everyone around them spoke.
"Really." Said a man with long mess brown hair and goatee, he had lifted head his hand, "I came across them several days ago. They said something about control over the southern area, which includes parts of this desert."
"Is that true Coyote?" the man asked.
"Yes lord Aizen." Coyote said as the man with teal hair began to laugh.
"You mean you found what this guy was looking for?" He said as he laughed harder.
"Grimmjow shut you mouth." Said the female.
"You dare speak in a meet among men," Said the tall and lanky one, "Tia."
"Nnoitra, you will also shut you mouth." Tia said as Grimmjow drawn his sword and pointed in between her eyes.
"Hmm." Was all Aizen could say as he stood and walked out,
"Now that he is gone." Coyote said, "All of you will sit down and shut up." He look at Ichigo, "Lord Kurosaki, you can call me Starrk, and I lead these bunch of idiots."
"Hey?!" both Nnoitra and Grimmjow said together.
"You two, Halibel is one of us rather you like it or not."
"And since when did you get permission to call me that." Tia said as she glared at Starrk.
"This is so good, if they kill each other I can experiment in their body." Mumbled a pink haired man or female. He looked at Ichigo, "you can call me Szayel." He said with a smile, "the mad alchemist. (Since scientist weren't made until the late 1800's.)
"More like the gay alchemist." Mumbled Grimmjow as he looked at Ichigo, "WHAT!?" Ichigo blinked as Starrk face palmed himself. (I hope he didn't hurt himself.)
"As I was saying," Starrk said, "I know where their little town is at."
"Where?"
"Just on the edge of the eastern sands and the southern forest, they live with a fortified village, which is hard to get in." Starrk said as he sat down as rest his head on his hands. Tia stood up giving Ichigo a visual glance of her.
"Lord Kurosaki," she began, "I will accompany you their as an order from Aizen and Starrk." She looked at Starrk who nodded, "We should leave at once." Ichigo nodded as he keeps looking at her. She blushed a little before walking out.
Ichigo walked out of the building into the desert sands. Behind him Byakuya, Renji followed. Ichigo came into view of Tia and three other girls.
"Are they your troops?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes, their strong when working together." Tia answered as she looked behind herself to see Ichigo, "And it seems that we have others who wish to come." Behind Ichigo, Grimmjow and Nnoitra came walking out.
"We just want to make sure he doesn't get lucky." Grimmjow said as he walked off into the distance, Nnoitra was behind him.
"Let's go." Tia said as he walked off as well. Ichigo shrugged and followed behind them.
They came to a stop at a small village, which Ichigo had never noticed. Night drew in, covering the sky with a dark blue shield. Torches began to light as they made way to a building. On the sign before it bared a black printed three. Grimmjow nodded as he and Nnoitra walked off into a different direction. Tia let out a sigh and walked up the small steps inside.
"Lord Kurosaki," she began, "this is my village. Here you will find no men, but the women of those who are hurt. Me and my partner…speak of which?" Tia pulled back a screen giving Ichigo view of a light green haired lady asleep, "My partner Nel." Ichigo nodded as he turned to see both Renji gone; only Byakuya stood behind him, "You may use the spare rooms and the hot spring, but let me warn you. The women here are not for you own self pleasure, but to recover from th- shit." Tia walked out leaving Ichigo behind. All he could her were faint yells before the screams of blades colliding together. Byakuya bid his lord goodnight and walked off. Ichigo walked towards the back of the building where the hot spring sat. Ichigo pulled his robes off and slipped in. He closed his eyes and nodded off for a few minutes till the sound of the door opening. He barely lifts his eyelids to see Tia walking by. He nodded and closed his eyes before hearing something,
"Is the water great?" He looked up to see Tia standing in front of him.
"Um…yeah I guess."
"Good, then I shall join you." Ichigo went red as Tia pulled her coat over her head and stepped in, "what wrong?"
"Nothing just that you shouldn't be in here with me."
"Why not?" Tia said with a smirk.
"Because I married and already have children."
"So it seems." Tia swam behind a rock as Ichigo's face went back to normal, "Do you love her?"
"What?"
"Do you love her?"
"Yes."
"Then you are a loyal man. She is lucky to have you."
"I know." Ichigo looked down at the water at his reflection. He looks up at the sky to see a trial of smoke; he followed it to see a rock on fire. Then everything went bright as screams were heard. Tia jumped out of the water and threw on her coat and pants. Ichigo followed behind her with his black coat on, hold his sword. When they made it outside, fire was everywhere as women ran amok.
"Nel get everyone out of here." Tia yelled as Nel came out with her sword drawn leading the women towards the gates. Ichigo looked into the sky to see a hail of arrows soaring, cutting through the buildings. Everyone was in chaos, as a Quincy came into view from Ichigo. Ichigo lifted his blade up as Nnoitra and Grimmjow came into view, both having their blade by the Quincy neck.
"I bear a message to Lord Kurosaki." The Quincy said as he lowered his bow.
"Speak." Ichigo ordered as he sheathed his blade.
"Our master wants a trade." The Quincy said.
"A trade for what?"
"The southern forest, he will give you the line of rivers that split the Forest line with the desert. All he wants is the land, the water and the people." Ichigo stood their for a second deep in thought. He eyes went from the Quincy to Tia as he looked down at his blade to his side. With one quick motion, he pulled it out and had it level with the Quinces throat.
"The southern forest is mine, I you master want it, he'll have to fight for it."
"What is this, you're a mad man, you can not kill the messenger." The Quincy pleads.
"But I'm not," Ichigo said as he turned around, "Nnoitra, Grimmjow, kill him." Ichigo walked away. Grimmjow looked at Nnoitra, who nodded. They sliced straight threw the Quincy, He head and torso fell to the floor with a thud. The other acted quickly, drawing their bows as Ichigo turned around, "Tell your lord this; I lead an Empire that is ready for war, if he wants this land, he must take it." Ichigo walked away as everyone eyed each other.
