Disclaimer. Attention everybody. I totally own Bleach and Noblesse. Anyone who has told you differently is wrong. Not!
MadGod666: I have no idea how Ichigo knows Korean. However, I think that its quite possible that that was a precaution that Kisuke took when making a dementional transportation device.
Ichigo looked Shinwoo over before turning to Raizel. "We don't have to, but how much could it hurt for him to know some of the facts? I mean, this could and will most likely happen again. If at least Shinwoo knew what was going on then they would all be a lot safer…"
Raizel cut him off before he could start ranting. "I trust your judgement. If you believe that Shinwoo would be safer with knowledge and proper training then you are most likely right. But don't tell the other children. The knowledge will only frighten them."
Ichigo smiled. "Okay. I'll take him and M21 to the park to explain a few things if neither of them mind." Both seemed willing enough. "We'll meet you guy's back at the house no later than dinner time. See-ya."
Immediately Ichigo started leading the two to the out-of-the-way park, flash-stepping the three of them once they were out of sight.
The second Ichigo dropped out of shunpo Shinwoo and M21 fell to the ground in similar fits of dizziness while Ichigo calmly sat himself down across from the two. it only took moments for M21 to recover and sit up. On the other hand, they had to wait at least a minute before Shinwoo was able to lever himself into a sitting position and focus on their conversation.
"Where do I start...Well I'm Ichigo Kurosaki Shiba. Substitute Shinigami, and visored from another dimension…"
Ichigo spent about an hour and a half explaining things. Most of what he said was for Shinwoo's benefit, but he did explain a lot about living with Frankenstein and Raizel for M21's sake.
"And remember, especially you Shinwoo, everything I have just told you is top secret. Don't even tell Yuna or Ik-han. It could put them in a lot of danger. I'm only telling you so that I can train you to defend yourself against modified humans and the like. Remember, you're a martial artist and their not. All this information will do for them is make them scared and defenceless targets."
Realizing what Ichigo was trying to say, Shinwoo's eyes widened and he nodded quickly. "I understand."
Nodding his appreciation, Ichigo looked between the two. "Any more questions? It's getting kind of late and we should be heading back soon." At his question M21's energy seemed to give a pulse. "Could you teach me and M24 as well?"
Ichigo looked M21 over. He could tell from his energy that M21 was nervous about his answer and probably berating himself for asking in the first place. "Sure. Of course it can't be the same as Shinwoo's lessons but I don't mind personalizing each of your training menues. That everything?"
Both nodded and they all started heading to the house at a leisurely pace. Ichigo took the chance to once again scan their energy. M21 definitely felt most compatible with basic hollow energy. The best way to enhance that kind of power was to beat up the person with it until they awakened said power.
Shinwoo on the other hand felt like he had potential to use basic skills of both hollow and shinigami powers. That was probably because-Unlike M21 who obviously had some connection to a werewolf. And M24 who had the same type, if slightly less stable, connection to a nobles powers.-Shinwoo was a clean slate. He hadn't had his body experimented on, so he was still naturally neutral in both his soul and body.
'Teach him hollow abilities!' After Shiro Zangetsu cut into his thoughts he and his Zanpakuto spent the whole walk home arguing about first Shinwoo's best course in training to how to eat ramen. To say that they had gotten off track was an understatement.
Once they dropped Shinwoo off and got to the house M21 was put into the same room as M24- Who was now healed but still unconscious.-While Ichigo took a small detour to his area of the lab and gave Frankenstein more of his energy to work with before heading to his room. Like most nights nowadays, he wasn't going to sleep tonight. Instead he was going to meditate as deeply as he could to rest his brain.
If he didn't meditate than he'd have so many bad dreams that he'd be more tired when he woke up then when he had fallen asleep.
It seemed like merely seconds later he 'woke up' to Frankenstein knocking rather loudly at his door. What was it now?
Taking his time to reach the door, Ichigo opened it. "Whats up? Isn't it a little early?" Frankenstein's only reply was to order him to get ready for school. He really didn't understand why Frankenstein was in such a rush...What!?
Realizing what Frankenstein had said, Ichigo whirled around. "What? Wasn't school postponed?" Frankenstein seemed to barely suppress an eye roll. "Only because of the two you took care of last night."
Ichigo blinked before he understood what Frankenstein meant and could barely suppress a blush at his own stupidity. The two he technically he beat up were the reason school had been put on hold. "Okay. I'll be out in a minute. Since there's too many people me and the others will walk from now on."
quickly changing into his guard uniform he got a quick bite to eat, told M24 where everything he needed would be, got M21, and headed out the front door.
"We'll get you fitted for a uniform when we get there. Just follow the rules we went over last night and you shouldn't have a problem. If things get serious I'll take care of it so you can keep your cover. If you get any questions don't hesitate to ask...K. Come on." M21 silently followed him to the guards room where he got a arm band before the two of them started their rounds.
A few hours later the school day was over and M21 and Ichigo were heading back to the house when Ichigo suddenly stopped. It was faint, but he could definitely sense a slightly high energy signature.
"What's up?" Startling slightly at M21's question, Ichigo hummed in thought. "I sense an energy that's exceptionally high in the area. I'm actually surprised that I didn't sense it earlier."
There was a moment of silence in which Ichigo silently contemplated whether he should check it out now with M21, or later by himself. After thinking it over he decided that going with M21 was fine. "Wanna go check it out?"
M21 actually startled slightly before gaining his posture hesitantly agreeing. "Great. Come on, if we're not back by dinner we'll have to face Frankenstein's wrath." M21 looked kind of nervous about his comment about Frankenstein, but followed him silently. Obviously still to uncomfortable around him to ask what he meant. Ichigo explained how silently angry Frankenstein could be while they made their we to the energy Ichigo could sense.
Once they were almost their M21 suddenly came to an abrupt stop and his eye's widened with just the slightest bit of fear. "This energy you feel...Is it a little ways forward and underground?" Concentrating, Ichigo focused on the location of the energy he felt. It was quite far beneath them.
"Yeah. Know where we're going?" M21's expression just grew all the more panicky at his words. "We shouldn't get any closer. Under that building over there is a small base from the organization. They made most of the floors shopping area so that they could secure it better. There's cameras watching every-"
"So? Theres nobody but the guy I sense for at least a level up and down. And if things get nasty I'll get both of us out of there alive." Ichigo had raised his voice slightly to catch M21's attention and released just enough power so that M21 could sense it. Not giving M21 the time to argue, Ichigo headed towards the building at a brisk pace.
M21 watched him from behind, energy whirling with confusion and fear. "Well, are you just gonna stand there all day?" M21 paused stood frozen for a few more seconds before he took a deep breath and started following him inside.
M21 ended up leading the way around the building and opening up some heavy duty door that only opened from their side. The outside. As the door slid open the sickening stench of rotting flesh and decay filled their lungs. In front of them was a dark long tunnel that had scraps of bodies for as far a the two of them could see.
Sensing that the silence between them had lasted a little too long, Ichigo momentarily ignored all the corpses in front of them and turned to face M21. "I told you that there was only one energy signature down here."
M21 seemed to almost jump before he composed himself and replied with a disinterested grunt. "Like I was expecting everyone to have been killed...I really don't know what could have done something like-" Suddenly the energy Ichigo felt shot towards them at speeds that almost no one could perceive. Much less defend against such speed and power.
However Ichigo was one of the few who could do both as if it was nothing. So while still listening to M21's comment, Ichigo stepped in front of him and let a small impish smile appear on his face. M21 only cut himself off as Ichigo pulled his left Zanpakuto out with trained precision and thrusted it behind him. There was a satisfying squelching noise as his blade dug into the gut of whoever evidently killed all these people.
Ignoring M21's overwhelmed expression for now, Ichigo turned around to see just who he had stabbed. The modified human impaled by his sword was looking up at him with wide, angry, and confused eyes. He looked half starved with his gaunt and unnaturally grey skin. And to top it off, his teeth were wide and pointed and vaguely reminded him of perhaps a shark's teeth?
"I don't like it when someone tries to hurt my friends. In fact I hate it. I hate it so much that-"
Before Ichigo could claim that he would kill the trash before him like it did to all these people, he was interrupted by M21. "I know this guy. If you're just going to fight him then can you give me a go at it first?"
Ichigo looked over at M21 and scanned his reiatsu. He knew that he was the weaker one here but still wanted to beat this one guy. It really made sense.
"On one condition. If you're going to fight this guy then promise me that you'll let me give you a boost if you need it." M21 certainly didn't like the fact that he would need help but simply nodded and turned back to the impaled observer.
The instant Ichigo drew his energy coated blade out of the guy's chest, the guy charged at M21 with an inhumane amount of hatred.
So this guy was still on power high even after killing all these people? He must have been really weak before…
Ichigo watched from the sidelines as M21 fought desperately against the unnamed enemy. Seeing the chance for what it was, Ichigo mentally took note of m21's fighting style and how it could be improved.
He only refocused on the battle itself when M21 was violently hit on the right side of his head, knocking him into unconsciousness before his battered body even hit the ground. Knowing that this was when he stepped in, Ichigo flashed in front of M21 and stopped a pointed vine-thing aimed at M21's heart.
Holding the screeching trash down with only his reiatsu, Ichigo turned to M21 and grimaced. He would have done this eventually anyway. Better to get it over with now then later. Hopefully he didn't screw this up.
Drawing his right blade-Shiro Zangetsu, the one that was tainted by hollow.- Ichigo stabbed downwards into M21's chest. Once his blade had pierced into M21's heart he pumped as much energy as M21 could contain into his blade.
M21's eyes flew open in surprise as he gasped at the power flowing through his body. It took a moment for M21 to regain his breath enough for him to sorely force himself to his feet. "How you feeling?"
M21 managed to look at him like he was crazy before answering. "Horrible!"
Ichigo reined in his amusement as to not further anger M21 when he asked the next question. "I'm not talking about that. I mean how does the power feel?" M21 paused for a second before huffing out a slightly reluctant response. "It feels amazing."
"Good. For a second I was worried that your energy would tear you apart because of my foreign energy-" Ichigo abruptly shut up when M21 glared daggers at him. "You did not need to tell me that."
I may not be able to update for a while because of just how much homework I have. I'll try to update this as soon as I can but no promises in that regard. Anyways, make sure to R&R.
