I do not own Bleach *sniffs*, but I own a mega chocolate bar :D
Bold is hollow talk. Italics are thoughts and flashbacks.
Bold italic are hollow thoughts
XxxX are line breaks
"We come here in peace." Tatsuki yelled, "This is a message from Lord Aizen. We're much stronger this time and will succeed."She turned around to face her kid and in a calmer voice, said, "C'mon, our mission here is done. No need to stay." WAIT A SECOND. WE DON'T GET TO FIGHT SOUL REAPERS? Tatsuki grimaced. Her hollow is the last thing she needed for this mission to go wrong. Without warning, she was sucked back into her inner world. She could feel her hollow steer her body away from the garganta to face Ichigo. Damn hollow. Taking control of me again. She thought. Too slow! Her hollow sung.
Ichigo stared at his long-lost wife, unsure what to do. Suddenly, the hollow mask on her face began to complete itself and a suffocating spiritual pressure radiated from her. Before he could react, Tatsuki sliced his left hand off with her zanpakto. "wha-Tatsuki!"Ichigo exclaimed. What happened to her? Is it hollowfication? Maybe I can get answers if I knock her out and take her to Uraharas. With that in mind, Ichigo yelled, "Bankai! Tensa Zangetsu! Getsuga Tensho!" and fell to his knees. Sorry, Tatsuki.
"Tsk, Tsk, who said I was Tatsuki?" Ichigo looked up as Tatsuki stepped out of the smoke, unharmed. His Getsuga Tensho have sliced open her shirt, and in the middle of her chest, was the number 4. K-King I-its her hollow in charge of her body.Ichigo panicked at the state of his hollow's voice. Fear practically radiated off from him. She is a LOT stronger than me. Even stronger than the final getsuga tensho!Ichigo guessed that his hollow would be getting even paler if possible. "Now, down to business."Tatsuki's voice snapped him from his thoughts. "Last time you fought an espada, you barely survived. He was the same rank as me. When I said that we got stronger, the 9th espada in his normal form have the power equivalent to the former 0th espada in his release form. Oh, and one more thing, all espadas have two release stages now." She paused, and continued in a sarcastic voice, "Now, Tatsuki did not want to become an arrancar. Ulquiorra injected a poison into her that damaged her chain of fate. Later that day, I took over her and broke your nose. Then, we had a little meeting in her dreamworld and when she learned that she would harm her beloved husband, and POOF! She left. She is not bad at fighting at all… an- oh, did I hit the jackpot?" Dark auras begun to flare off from Ichigo. Aizen wasn't dead after all. Without thinking, he fired another getsuga tensho at Tatsuki, which she evaded easily. "Now, you are harming your wife? How unloyal."Tatsuki smirked. As soon as it came, it was wiped off by a bleeding arm.
Ichigo stared at Tatsuki, unable to believe that he had just landed a blow onto her. He is relieved yet angry at the same time. Relieved because he know that he could at least land a blow on her. Angry at himself because he promised to not hurt her again. For a split second, her eyes turned back to the warm hazel they should be. But it was gone in an instant, replaced by the ice yellow of a hollow.
Hollow Tatsuki stared at her arm, unable to comprehend what just happened. That strawberry actually hit her. Being Tatsuki's hollow, she knew that the strawberry will not let her go back easily. Not unless he is dead. That thought brought a smirk to Hollow Tatsuki's face. Maybe she just found information that makes taking control of Tatsuki's body easier. NO! Tatsuki yelled. At hearing Tatsuki's reaction, this is going to be good. Raising her zanpakto, she yelled, "Awaken, Meikai no Koken!"
Ichigo stared, waiting for the red smoke to clear. A shape suddenly emerged and Ichigo held his sword into guard position with his remaining hand. There is very little physical change for an arrancar. Her white arrancar uniform was replaced by a dark red robe with the sleeves cut off. Her sword have changed from a normal katana into a six foot long staff that looks like it is made from bone. At the end of the staff was a dark green orb with white wisps. The orb had chains wrapped around it. Ichigo somehow knew that the wisps were souls of dead people, atoning for their sins. Her arms and hands were covered with tattoos that glowed a dark red. I should be careful. Ichigo thought. I only need to knock her out and drag her back. Not very hard sounding but still… before Ichigo could charge at her, she disappeared from his field of vision. "Flying Leaves!" Ichigo turned around to see a formation of flying leaves flying towards him. It's too late to dodge, so he closed his eyes and waited for the leaves to strike him.

Saukura Ishida was actually having a good day when she felt three vaizards' spiritual pressure spontaneously appear. Soon, Uncle Ichigo's spiritual pressure headed towards them. Being trained in spiritual pressure tracking by her father, she arrived at Karakura Middle in time to see a black haired woman fire a bunch of flying leaves at Ichigo. He still has not turned around. Sighing, she nocked an arrow and aimed at the woman's shoulder. For some reason, that woman looked familiar.
XxxX
When he did not feel anything, Ichigo opened his eyes. Looking up, he saw Tatsuki's right shoulder with a blue arrow bouncing off. Tracing his eyes through the path the arrow have taken, he saw Saukura Ishida with a bow in her hand. Crap. Im as good as dead. Uryu will kill me. He thought. Not to mention Renji will be an arrogant bastard again. Suddenly, a scream tore him from his thoughts. Turning around, he saw Tatsuki on her knees and clutching her head. Her eyes flickered from hazel to yellow until it settled on hazel. Taking that as a good sign, Ichigo spoke, "Tatsuki, why did you do this? You know that we could protect you and help you fight your hollow." Pausing to catch his breath, he continued, "One day, you disappeared from me and fifteen years later, you are an espada! What the hell did Aizen do to you?" Ichigo lowered his eyes as he felt them getting moist. Fifteen years, his wife and two kids are on the enemy side. Tatsuki, struggling to control a powerful hollow. His two kids, turned into cold-blooded reptiles. Aizen is trying to break him. Ichigo felt drops landing on his face. Not from the rain, not from him, but from someone else. He looked up to see Tatsuki over him, crying silently.

A black- haired teen is sitting on the river bank, tears streaming down her porcelain face. She was crying in anger and relief. Angry at her friends for lying to her, yet relieved that they came back safely. The rain was beating down on her mercilessly, but she didn't care. Hours later, a orange-haired teen came with an umbrella and sat down next to her. "Hey Tats. I'm sorry." He said trying to break the silence. The other teen did not look up but cried even harder. Ichigo, getting no reaction out of her, snaked his arms around her waist. The black-haired teen brushed his arms away and muttered, "you bastard…" Ichigo, hearing her speak, started to apologize. "Look, Tats. I'm sorry that I never told you what was going on. I still can't tell you because it will lead you into more danger. Please understand and forgive me.""PROTECTION MY ASS! YOU LEFT ME! So you expect to just storm somewhere playing hero and still expect things to be the same with your friend? Or should I even call you one?"The glaze of sadness was replaced by a fierce fire of anger. Her fist struck out, catching Ichigo by the cheek. She stood up, before she could move, Ichigo caught her hand and also stood up. "You are right, You are not my friend anymore." He said, "But you are something much more to me." and with those words, he pulled her closer and planted his lips onto hers. To his surprise, she entangled one of her hands in his hair and snaked the other arm around his waist. Soon, they had to part due to the lack of oxygen. "Tatsuki, I love you and I will make sure you will never cry again."
"Why, Tatsuki. WHY?"

Masaki stared at the arrow bouncing off of her mother's shoulder and looked at the black-haired girl in the white dress. She was also holding a bow and arrow. "Hay you!" Masaki yelled, "You look fun to fight!" When glasses girl did not reply, she yelled., "What, you just gonna stand there?"Without hesitating, masaki nocked an arrow and aimed. The bow let out a satisfying twang as it was released. However, she missed. Clenching her teeth, Masaki fired another arrow. This time, glasses freak wasn't fast enough and the arrow embedded itself into her stomach. Just as she was about to nosk another arrow, out of the corner of her eye, she saw her twin brother carry glasses freak away with sonido.
Kenji looked at the girl in his arms. Normally, he would let Masaki kill her victims and stay out of it. This time, he moved against his will and carried the girl away. He doesn't know where he is going, but he have a feeling that he needed to get her somewhere safe. Suddenly, the wind was knocked out of him and saw the girl falling out of his arms and landing on a roof. "You are not taking me anywhere." She stubbornly declared, "You may be a visored but you were with the people trying to kill my friends." A vein popped on Kenji's forehead as he yelled, "WELL I WAS SAVING YOUR SORRY ASS!" "well I don't need help from a stupid cow!" The girl retorted.
"Well you can barely stand!"Kenji yelled.
"Yes I can! I am standing right now aren't I? Stupid cow." the girl yelled.
"It's not stupid cow! It's Kenji Kurosaki! Learn that, glasses freak!"
"It's not glasses freak. It's Saukura Ishida! And did you say Kurosaki?" Saukura asked. After a few moments of gathering his thoughts together, Kenji replied, "Yes, my mom is Tatsuki Kurosaki, and my sister is Masaki Kurosaki. Why are you asking? You a pervert?"Saukura turned about fifteen shades of red before replying, "Well you are the one that carried me to who knows where, octopus head." The comment on Kenji's hair, which is long for a boy, retorted, "Shorty"
"Subatomic shrimp" Saukura snorted.
"I'm a head taller than you!" Kenji yelled.
"Mentally wise" Saukura replied.
"Oh Yeah? Ask me a question!" Kenji challenged.
"Square root of pi" Saukura smirked.
"uh… What?" Kenji at this point was stumped. He did not even know what a square root is or pi.
"As I thought" Saukura grinned, "You are just an octopus head idiot."
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?"
"Octopus head"
"Subatomic bacteria"
"Bunny rabbit!"
"Bed wetter"
"AM NOT!"
"Kenji, who is your father?" Kenji and Saukura turned around. They have been so absorbed in their argument that they didn't notice somebody approaching. "U-um… mom does not talk about him much… I only know that he is a soul reaper."Kenji stammered. This man really intimidated him. The man looked at him, then sighed, "Look, it's a long story. The one fighting you mother, Kurasaki Ichigo, is your father. Just take this to your mother and she will tell you the rest of the story." And held out a chain with a locket and a ring on it. Kenji took the chain and muttered, "Thanks." The man started to walk away, the turned around and said, "My name is Uryu Ishida and please take my daughter to Urahara's shop. Saukura knows the way. "Yes sir!" Kenji replied and sonidoed away. When they are out of sight, Uryu laughed and muttered, "Lover's quarrel"
Ten minutes later, they arrived at a small and shabby building. "That's suppodes to be a candy store?" Kenji asked and knocked on the door like what most people do. "What did you expect?" Saukura answered, "A pink building made out of cotton candy?" Kenji looked at Saukura and asked, "What's cotton candy" Before Saukura could reply, an orange-haired woman opened the door and said, "Mr. Urahara is vurrently busy, please come in and have a se- SAUKURA!"Kenji looked down, Saukura have passed out a while after her father told them to go. He was just about to explain the situation to the woman when Saukura opened one eye and sheepishly said, "Hi mom." Kenji's jaw dropped to the floor. There is no way that they could be related. Saukura have black hair and blue eyes, with a serious expression on her face. Meanwhile her mother have orange hair and grey eyes, with a carefree expression on her face. Suddenly, a bone-crushing hug broke Kenji from his thoughts. "THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF SAUKURA!" The woman cried while Kenji sweatdropped. This woman has some serious issues. When he broke the hug in his attempt to get more oxygen, a blonde-haired man walked out of the store. "I am Kiskue Urahara." He said, "Uryu just called me and told me the situation. You are very honest for an espada. Anyway, Come inside!" As soon as Kenji entered the building, he dropped Saukura onto a futon and walked towards the door. The door was locked. "I'm sorry, but Ichigo may want some questions that Tatsuki may not be willing to answer. Uryu said that we may use you for answers instead." The blonde shopkeeper calmly stated. Kenji walked towards the wall and yelled, "Cero" Nothing came out. "and another thing, spiritual pressure is restrained here." A black cat answered his unasked question. Kenji yawned, suddenly feeling tired. "The sedate is working." Urahara said. The last thing Kenji remember before passing out was a black cat, the shopkeeper, and the orange-haired woman staring at him. He fell right into their traps.

In Las Noches…
"Lord Aizen, Soul Society is attacking!" a large arrancar reported, "All the captains and lieutenants except for 6 are here!" "I see… use the emergency garganta to bring the three espadas that are on a mission here." "Yes"
XxxX
Ichigo looked at the forms of Masaki and Tatsuki, shocked. They are turning into dust and crumbling away. "Emergency garganta… Next time, we will meet as enemies, Kurosaki Ichigo." Tatsuki looked at him and disappeared with Masaki.
Urahara could feel an unknown force trying to get to Kenji, but this is the latest technology from Soul society. Urahara set the barrier on attack mode and within a few minutes, the force was gone.
In las Noches…
A brown-haired man sat on a white throne,looking at his espadas. Noticing one was missing, he commented, "I wonder if Kenji got himself a girl… "
A/N: To clear some things up…
Yes they are visords not arrancars I will explain why in later chaps.
Tatsuki's zanpakto: Meikai no Koken means guardian of the underworld. I had in mind something really dangerous and hellish. One of the techniques is flying leaves. Kind of like senbonzakura.
Saukura is uryu and orihime's daughter.
