That day was one of the rarest days in the history of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. What made if such a rare day? Well in the history classroom of Hogwarts where the most boring teacher of a ghost taught, nobody was asleep! It was truly a sight to behold, since that ghost's voice could make even an exciting lesson into the most boring lecture that could put anyone to sleep.
But on this day everyone was awake and aware even a certain Ronald Weasley who was probably the worst of all of them. Why was a simple reason, it was because of the announcement that Dumbledore had made that morning at breakfast.
Flashback
It was nearing the end of breakfast when the headmaster stood up and made his way to the front of the great hall. The hall fell silent as he raised his hand and began to make his speech.
"Yesterday a group of students asked me for something that I was very happy to try and get. Some of you have seen the strange powers that Mr. Kurosaki and his men have exhibited, and this group of students was curious and wished to see a demonstration. Last night I discussed it with Mr. Kurosaki and he has agreed to put on a small show of their different powers."
Whispers started to circulate around the great hall about all the different possibilities of powers and the powers that some people had already seen. Professor Dumbledore raised his hand again for silence and waited for the hall to quiet down before continuing.
"Yes, Yes I know that many of you are very curious, which is why all afternoon classes have been cancelled so that all students and teachers may have the opportunity to learn about these different powers."
End Flashback
After the announcement about the demonstration no one had wanted to eat anymore and had flown out of the great hall to their classes. Teachers had hardly been able to keep control of their classes in all the excitement, which is where it leaves us off at History again.
History was the last class of the day before everyone could leave to the quiditch field where the demonstration would be taking place, and everyone was literally bouncing in their seats. Finally the clock chimed in the distance and all the students as well the teachers pushed and shoved their way to the quiditch stands hoping to get a good spot to watch from.
Ichigo was standing in front and talking to professor Dumbledore when the golden trio arrived and took their seats as close to the teachers as they could get to hear their conversations. The creepy Ulquiorra guy was on the other side of the stands by the Slytherins and the blue haired guy Grimmjow had just shown up to talk to Ichigo.
"Hey Ichigo I know that you said that we couldn't use more than half our powers and second stage but as much as I hate to admit it I can't win unless I use more and you know it too" Grimmjow's face looked like he had just eaten sour lemon after admitting that he wasn't as strong as he would like to be.
"Fine but you will have to wait until I tell you alright since it will take some time to get the barriers up strong enough that it won't affect the students and teachers" Said Ichigo, Grimmjow gave a nod before leaving in a blur. Just as Ichigo was about to turn back to Dumbledore Umbridge pushed her way through the crowd to where Ichigo was standing and looked up at him with one of her sickly sweet smiles.
"Mr. Kurosaki I have to say that I do not agree with this demonstration-"
"Well then it's a good thing that whether this demonstration happens or not is none of your business, this is between me and the Headmaster so I would appreciate it if you just sat back and watched the show"
"Well what happens between you two may not be my business but the safety of the students is and I do not think that this will be safe for the students to see" The golden trio rolled their eyes knowing that she didn't care about the students at all and only wanted a reason to make the guards leave.
"Then rest assure as me and one of my other men Ulquiorra Cifer which you know quite well, will be holding up barriers around everyone so that none of our powers will affect you" At that moment professor Mcgonagall chose to enter the conversation.
"Excuse me Mr. Kurosaki but if you and Mr. Cifer are not fighting the blue haired man them who is?"
"Oh that's easy to answer Nel is going to be fighting Grimmjow she just got here now" The teachers looked down and where shocked to see a young girl standing in the middle of the field across from the blue haired man.
"A CHILD! YOU ARE SENDING A CHILD UP AGAINST THAT ANIMAL! I will have you reported to the ministry for child abuse Mr. Kurosaki and have you out of here and behind bars in Azkaban before you can even think of escaping" Umbridge screeched so loud the whole school could hear her.
"I normally do not agree with Dolores, Mr. Kurosaki but I must be strict about this and stop you from abusing that child any longer" Ichigo interrupted Mcgonagall from continuing by laughing. All the teachers turned to look at him and even most of the students trying to think of what was so funny.
"A child! Wow that's a good one, Nel has never lost to Grimmjow once in her life and I don't think she is intending to do so now. Also Nel loves to fight, fight but not kill which is quite rare for someone like her"
"I do not see how you think this is funny, she is still a child and can't be more than five years of age and that's being lenient" Ichigo just continued to laugh.
"You think that Nel is only five years old! Hell Nel (Haha a rhyme) is even older than me and not just buy just a few years" Umbridge opened her mouth to contradict him but he just shut her up with a wave of his hand and turned back to the field.
"Hey Nel I'm tired of correcting these people hurry up and transform"
"Okey dokey Itsygo" With a mock salute a huge cloud of pink smoke exploded around Nel completely obscuring her from view. Everyone held their breath waiting to see what had happened to the little girl, even Professor Dumbledore was curious about what was happening.
Suddenly a big gust of wind came through blowing all the smoke away and revealing the figure inside. A gasp went through the crowd as the new Nel was revealed and what a reveal it was. There was no longer a little girl, in her place stood a woman with assets that made the girls jealous and the boys drool. Her long green hair flowed behind her in the wind revealing a big three tattooed on her back and her scared face. The silence that had come with her transformation was broken by Ichigo.
"Ladies and Gentleman I give you the true form of Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck" (I know it's a bit cheesy but my story) The silence and shock was so thick that you probably could have cut it with a knife as Nel looked up and waved at the crowd.
"Alright now that it has been established that I am not sending a five year old out to fight let's get this demonstration going" Ichigo then jumped out of the stands and landed on thin air, the Ulquiorra man following right behind him in the same manner.
"Bloody Hell! How is he doing that" Ron's face along with many others resembled that of a gaping fish.
"It should be impossible he didn't even use a levitation spell or even pull out a wand for that matter" Although Hermione did not exactly look like a gaping fish, she did look like a deer in the headlights with her wide eyes.
"Well that's why we are all here aren't we? To see all the different powers that these guys have and this is probably one of them. And from what we've seen so far I think that this is only the beginning of their powers" Harry was one of the only one besides the Slytherins, who were to stuck up and proper, to gape at the guards.
"Alright Ulquiorra let's get the shields up,Dankū" Ichigo and Ulquiorra said the Japanese incantation at the same time and a bright glowing light surrounded the two.
Suddenly what appeared to be a massive wall appeared around the stands before disappearing again leaving only Ichigo and Ulquiorra with their hands placed on what looked to be thin air.
"Okay everyone to show you the majority of our powers we will be doing a battle between Grimmjow and Nel. The battle will show all different types of powers along with some swordplay since that's how we usually fight. As each skill is show I will be telling you all what it is but please keep in mind that we have a limit on for only using half of our powers but please don't try to sneak out of the barriers because even though you probably won't feel it the pressure outside of the barriers is intense and could possibly crush you. So on that happy note let the battle begin" (Fair warning I suck at fight scenes)
As soon as the words came out of Ichigo's mouth Grimmjow disappeared in a flash before suddenly reappearing in front of Nel with his sword drawn. Some people screamed in horror thinking that Nel was about to have her head chopped off by his sword but before Grimmjow's blade got within even a foot of Nel she suddenly disappeared just like Grimmjow had, reappeared behind him and aimed a kick at Grimmjow's head. Grimmjow was just able to put his arms up before Nel's kick landed sending him flying a good twenty feet in the air before crashing back down to the ground.
"The technique that they are using to disappear and reappear so fast is called Sonido. Though it may look like their teleporting or apparating to different places on the field, in reality they are simply running at speeds that are too fast for the normal untrained human eye to see" Ichigo explained and with his explanation came many shocked gasps as people started to try and follow the movements of the fighters down below as the swords slashes and kicks continued during Ichigo's explanation. But even trying their hardest to watch where the two fighters had gone after they disappeared, no one could keep track of them.
The fight continued like a dance using both swordplay and Sonido for a couple more minutes each swipe keeping the captive audience on the edge of their seats. When suddenly Grimmjow flew out of the cloud of dust the last hit Nel had dealt him had made landing and standing about twenty-five feet up in the air. Holding out his hand the audience watch in fascination as a blue orb started to form growing bigger with every second. Grimmjow didn't release it until it was the size of a basketball.
"CERO!"
The orb flew at Nel who was standing below watching the charge up with bored, sleepy eyes not even making a move to stop him. As the cero approached Nel she suddenly took a huge breath in absorbing the cero as she did. The school watched as Grimmjow braced himself for the impact and Nel let the cero fly adding her own power as it came out of her mouth and heading straight for Grimmjow.
The double cero made contact sending Grimmjow crashing to the ground in a huge bang leaving a small crater where he had landed. Nel simply stood there and watched as Grimmjow stood up and caught his breath dusting rock and debris off his shoulders and clothes.
"That everyone is what's called a cero; it is the main power weapon that we use against most enemies. It also varies in colour and where it becomes charged by the person who creates it. Nel's Cero Doble is all her own and no one else can copy it. It works by her absorbing her enemy's cero and shooting it back out adding her own cero on top of it and making it several times more powerful. Now I think that Grimmjow is getting tired of being beaten up so he will be demonstrating something that hardly anyone gets to see so you're all quite lucky"
Ichigo looked over to Ulquiorra and with a nod pushed more power into the shields. They lit up for a couple seconds as more layers doubled onto the first one before disappearing into nothingness.
"Alright Grimmjow we're good to go here you can start" Curious as to what Ichigo had just given the okay for everyone watched as Grimmjow put his hand on his katana in almost a clawed gesture and gave Nel one of his evil grins.
"Grind, Pantera!"
As soon as he said those words a blue light exploded around him, the explosion ripping up dirt, rocks and grass. In the minds of some of the people watching the spectacle, they were thinking about how much repair the quiditch field would need after this. So as the cloud of dust settled Grimmjow came into view now covered in what looked to be white armour. His body had also changed, his legs becoming paws and a tail had sprouted behind him. His crazy blue hair (Which is the best by the way) had grown so long it was close to reaching the ground giving the appearance of a feral cat.
"That is what is called a second release or Resurrección giving the person a huge boost in power as well as a change of appearance" Ichigo relayed to the school gesturing to Grimmjow in his released form.
"No kidding about the change of appearance hey Harry" Ron whispered to Harry but before Harry could respond Hermione shushed them with a wave of her hand trying to hear what else Ichigo had to say about the odd transformation.
"The form the resurrección differs for each person depending on their personality. Almost every time the resurrección will be in some form of animal, bird or insect. It will occasionally not be one of those but it is quite rare and no two resurrección are the same. Grimmjow here takes the form of a panther, though I'm sure you can't really tell anything other than it looks like a cat" Ichigo was interrupted by a steaming Grimmjow.
"I'm not just a cat idiot I'm a panther and that's it so say it and shut up" Chuckling Ichigo returned to his explanation as Grimmjow shot off to try and get a hit in on Nel.
"So as I was saying, Grimmjow takes the form of a panther. Now we can't have Nel in her second release form as well or the combined pressure of the power they release could crush you all. But anyway Nel takes the form of what I guess you could say looks like a centaur except she's a goat and not a horse."
"What about the pale guy and you" Yelled one of the students from the Ravenclaw section of the stands. Ichigo seemed to think about it for a bit before answering.
"Well Ulquiorra, or the pale guy as you call him, Transforms into a bat and also has the added bonus of a third released state. He ends up looking kind of like a weird black devil with wings and a pointed tail" Ichigo had to duck as Ulquiorra fired a small cero at his head. It flew over his head and smacked into the shield dissolving in a matter of seconds.
"Hey what was that for it was a compliment!" Ulquiorra just turned away and focused on the shield. The Slytherins that he was standing in front of cringed away as Ulquiorra started to exude a cold aura reaching through even the powered up shield.
"Now you asked what I transformed into, well I can't really say since I don't really have a resurrección form. But I do have two other forms which from what my friends say I look like when I transform, are the equivalent of a lizard and bull." Many of the staff and students looked in amazement at the transformed Grimmjow and shivered at the thought of the other three guards in their released forms and what they must look like.
As Ichigo had been explaining the battle below continued as Grimmjow with his new power up pounded on Nel's defenses, causing her to dodge and block with more effort than before. The citizens of Hogwarts thought that the feral man would now win for sure seeing how he was causing the child turned woman to fight harder. Professor Mcgonagall looked up at Ichigo who was watching the performance from the corner of his eye and saw that he was simply smirking at the two fighters below.
"Mr. Kurosaki I insist that you stop this or force Mr. Jaegerjaquez back into his original form, this is obviously not a fair fight and that young girl cannot win" McGonagall's concern for Nel was only answered with a slight chuckle from the orange haired guard.
"If you think that this is not a fair fight then you are completely wrong. Watch very closely to Nel's moves, she is simply playing with Grimmjow and nothing more. If she really wanted to she could end this fight anytime that she wanted and probably will in a couple of minutes" Looking back down to the field the teachers watched as Grimmjow ran at Nel and went to slash at her with the blades on his arm. But this time Nel put her hand up stopping Grimmjow in his tracks. Grimmjow went to pull away only to find that Nel had a firm grip on him and wasn't about to let go anytime soon. The audience watched as Nel brought up the tip of her sword resting it on Grimmjow's neck with a smile.
"I win" and with that Nel and Grimmjow where effulged in a cloud of smoke before it cleared to show the child Nel sitting on Grimmjow's shoulders and because of the smoke no one had seen Nel give Grimmjow a kiss before turning back to her child form.
"Well ladies and gentlemen I believe that is all so me and my team will be taking a small break so all of you are free to head back up to the castle" Ichigo and Ulquiorra then dropped the shields and flashed away Grimmjow now back in his human form and Nel following behind them. The students spilled out of the stands followed by most of the teachers as a few had to stay behind and fix the damage that had been done to the quiditch field in the form of craters and ripped up turf. The golden trio made their way back up to the castle doors chatting about what they had just seen the whole time.
"That was so bloody brilliant! I can't believe what those guards can do, I mean their freaky as hell but their awesome powers totally make up for it" Ron was beaming from the excitement of the whole thing and nearly ran over some first years while stuck in his thoughts.
"Watch your language Ronald honestly, but I must agree they were incredible and can you believe that they said that they still have a limiter on! Imagine what their true powers must be able to do!" Hermione to analyzing what the guards had done over and over again in her mind trying to figure out if they would be able to do something similar to it. "And Ron they are not that creepy"
"What are you saying Hermione that pale guy and the guy with the blue hair, I mean just look at them." Ron huffed. "You have to agree with me on this one Harry don't ya?"
"Well I agree with you when it comes to those two guys but Ichigo and Nel seem nice enough even though Nel is a little weird" The three friends continue to chat as they made their way up to the common room not even noticing a young Japanese girl in a certain painting giggle at them and how they were discussing the masters of the room she was guarding.
Behind the girls painting inside the Japanese style room there were four people in various parts of the rooms. Ulquiorra was sitting in a chair reading another book from the many bookshelves that seemed to keep replenishing and changing their selections. Grimmjow was taking a shower, trying to get all the blood out of his teal blue hair and Nel was sitting on his bed waiting for him to come out and play with her.
Ichigo however was lounging back on the tower roof of their room admiring the view. But his mind was back at the soul society and all the people he loved inside of it. The war had been horrible and all of his friends had suffered the price of death to save all the other innocent lives. It had taken a while but now everyone was together in the gotei thirteen, or he should say fourteen after his division had been added.
Since everyone had thought that trying to integrate the arrancar and other odd talented humans into the other squads, where they would surely be put down. They had simply made a fourteenth division with Ichigo as captain and all the members the arrancars who had helped and people like Orihime, Chad and Ishida who had powers besides that of a soul reaper. Others had slowly come in as well like his twin sisters and old school friends like Tatsuki and Keigo and a few others.
Ichigo made a mental note to send a message to his sisters and friends, and extra special note to his girlfriend.
If I don't send her something soon she will probably come down here herself and make me apologize to her by a full week of being her slave or something like that. So is the punishment of having a high maintenance girlfriend, but I do love her.
Ichigo thought of the ring that he had bought for her before he had to suddenly get pulled into this mission by Urahara, and owing him for a few things he had to comply without even getting much time to pack let alone say good bye to everyone even though he was going to be gone for a year. Ichigo was pulled out his thoughts when he felt another presence sit beside him, looking over he saw Nel in her adult form looking out at the sunset with him. Ichigo hadn't even realised that he had been out on the roof so long that the sun was setting.
"You did a good show today Nel"
"Thanks Ichigo, it was fun to spar with Grimmjow a bit since we haven't really had much time together to spar" Nel sighed as she twirled her hair around her finger before pulling it into a sloppy braid.
"Yeah sorry about that but Nel don't think I didn't see that kiss you snuck Grimmjow right before you changed back" Nel blushed as she looked over at Ichigo to see him smiling at her before his smile fell back into a frown.
"You miss her a lot don't you Ichigo?"
"More than you know Nel, I barely got to say goodbye to her before I had to leave and she almost punched me through a wall when I told her I was going away for a year. She and I had been planning a trip to get away from the division for a little while but she has to wait now till I get home" Nel put her hand on Ichigo's shoulder in a comforting gesture.
"Don't worry Ichigo I'm sure she understands" and with that Nel stood up and left Ichigo to his thoughts again. A few minutes later Ichigo stood up and made his way over to the forbidden forest, he needed to let off some steam.
FINALY, I am so sorry for the long wait but first my mom took my computer for a week then I went to my cousins for another week and then I went on a trip to the states for another three weeks. So by the time I got home school had already started and I had to work on all that stuff, add all that to I was dreading writing this chapter cause I suck at fight scenes so all in all it means a very long wait and I am sorry for that. Anyway we now know a bit about what happened to Ichigo and all his friends as well as that there is a bit of romance between Grimmjow and Nel. Now that this chapter is out it may take me a while with school to get the next chapter out but it will be done and thank you all for the wonderful reviews. So I will leave you to try and figure out who Ichigo's girlfriend is while I work on the next chapter.
IMPORTANTE: I am still looking for a beta since I didn't get any responses on the last chapter so if you are interested leave a review or PM me so we can talk.
