(Karakura Town - Urahara shop)
"Sooo, you got tricked and left hanging in a tree by a blond kid and Ichigo huh?"
Peeking out from under a green and white stripe bucket hat Kisuke Urahara hid his amused smile behind his ever present fan. The thought that someone could best his friend and stole away his one time student just adds to his mirth.
"Yoruichi you're losing your touch." He said in a sing song voice, "heh I bet the Soi Fung will be real-OWowowowowowowo OK I got it I'll stop." Clutching his face after being scratch attack by said woman, Urahara whines in pain as he cries out uncle.
"I suggest Kisuke that you shut up or I'll scratch you lower." Unsheathing her claws to make her point. She then turns back into her human form and accepts a cup of tea from Tessei. Annoyed at the fact that she did lose to that sissy looking brat.
"So now what, I mean that kid Minato took Ichigo back to wherever he was from." Looking back at a fully recover Kisuke. "And let's not forget that Ichigo went willingly with him. Taking him back isn't going to be easy, not to mention that their bond is going to be even stronger so just separating them without a plan is no longer an option."
"I suspect that I going to have to seal their memories, hopefully that will keep them alive long enough that the bond will either dissolve on its own or" pausing wishing that he was very wrong about the outcome of the situation.
"Or?" ask a third person.
"Or they both die." Giving a side glance to the other occupant of the small room. Watching Isshin Kurosaki's shoulders slump. "Originally the bond that they share is meant to keep a male and female together long enough for reproduction to occur. But the fact that both parties are male means that this will not occur, so I would have to guess that someone had placed them in that barrier in another dimension with ulterior motives, but I can't really say."
"Basically, Ichigo and Minato may never be able to part due to the fact that both will feel that need but because their male that won't happen and this also means that they will always seek each other out no matter where they are." Understanding coming to Yoruichi.
"Correct"
"Are you positive that there is no other way to help him?" Isshin looks back up at the blond shopkeeper, "Can you guarantee that Ichigo will be okay with his memories being alter like that without any side effects. And will this seal be long term or do you think that it will have to have a time limit."
"Unfortunately I can't. There is a lot of room for complications to occur and I need to look over every detail in order to overcome seen or unseen problems." Looking at the other occupants of the room, "You need to be prepare in case we have to fight a very angry alpha if we have to take Ichigo by force if any plans we use fails."
"Then…I guess we have to leave it for now and hope that Ichigo will forgive us after all this is done." Says Isshin with a guilty expression standing up and headed out of the shop.
The two lone people sat in silence each in their own thoughts. Yoruichi in a uncharacteristically depress mood turns to Kisuke.
"Kisuke, so you really think that Ichigo is not in his right mind?"
"Mmm" was all he said deciding to let Yoruichi talk
"I, I think that Ichigo wouldn't let his mind be clouded like that. And I think that Ichigo truly loves that blond brat."
"Mmmm"
"I need no I want you to really think over the options again please." Yoruichi said as she turns into a cat then hops out the door.
With that Kisuke, crossing his arms, sighs tilts back his head, "the things I do."
oOooOooOo
(Konoha – Hospital)
Being in the hospital was not the introduction Minato wanted for Ichigo, of course the reason why they're in here was understandable. At least to Minato it is.
((Flash Black))
"WHAT" roar Jiraiya
"Is there a problem sensei?" asked a confuse blond at his teachers reaction.
"Is there a problem he ask, do you not hear yourself, of course there's a problem." Placing his fisted hands on his hips Jiraiya stares down his student. "One, in case you forgot you disappeared not that long ago; Two, you happen to just pop back with a complete stranger who I might add could be an assassin; and Three, you come out saying that this young boy is your lover and your mate . Mate. Now I don't care which way you swing, but, I do not trust that you just happen to fell in love with this boy." He finishes with one figure pointing at Ichigo.
"Well I don't trust a pimp wannabe like you old man." Shouted an irritated Ichigo.
Shock at being called a pimp Jiraiya whips back on to Ichigo.
"I' am not a pimp, I am the great Toad Sage and Author Jiraiya." Hopping on one foot, "the man that the ladies love and the hero to many."
Ichigo was stun at the display to say the least, 'what the hell.'
"Ha I have stun your boyfriend into silence with my greatness." Jiraiya says to Minato giving a very broad grin.
"Greatness how the hell are you great? Your more annoying and perverted then my own teacher is." Pointing a finger at the white hair 'male, "And that is saying something."
"Why you little-
"I think we can skip the entertainment for now sensei. I can feel the Hokage is very close as well as several Anbu, Joiun, and Chuin shinobi. I didn't think I would be miss that much. Heheheh" Laughing while trying to defuse the tension between his sensei and his mate. 'Note to self Ichigo can be very volatile when annoyed.'
Surrounded by Anbu and other shinobi Minato pulls Ichigo behind him as the Hokage Sariutobi walks towards them.
"Minato I am glad to see that you are safe and unharmed, but I hope you realize the trouble your disappearing act has cause." Said blond hanging his head a little before looking over his shoulder at the young orange headed boy. "Plus is the fact that this young boy is unknown and considering that you have many enemies I don't know if he can be trusted to be near you."
"But Hokage-sama, Ichigo isn't an enemy and to be truthful I'm the one who kidnap him."
To say many were shock by this Sarutobi wanted to know more about how the boys met and why Minato would actually kidnap someone it's completely out of character for him.
"Seeing that there are many questions that need answers I have to ask the both of you to come back to the village but under a strict guard consisting of Anbu and Jiraiya am I understood.
"Yes sir" said Minato before elbowing Ichigo to say it too.
"Yeah sure" came a grumble reply
But before anyone could move an Anbu grabs Ichigo not thinking of how the actions would be viewed. Until he find himself flying thru the air.
Minato gaps in awe as Ichigo tears thru five Anbu before Jiraiya places a lucky hit to the back of his neck. Catching his unconscious mate before he hit the ground Minato couldn't help the smile crossing his face.
"Dam kid what is your lover made of. It felt like hitting a stone wall." Complain Jiraiya while shaking his hand. "What caused him to attack huh it's not looking good for him."
"Well I can answer that sensei, but I put in simple terms for now." Said Minato as he lifts Ichigo up bridle style, "You see Ichigos own sensei was able to get in contact with us while we both were detain and basically we share an alpha beta relationship. I'm the Alpha and he's the Beta and the Anbu must have startle him causing him to act out. I'll put more details in my report Hokage-sama."
Sighing at new events Sarutobi decided that it might be best to put both boys under the care pf someone who could help keep the orangette calm and the only person that came to mind was Tsuande.
"Fine but I'm placing your two in the hospital until further notice. We need to make sure that whatever happen does not have lasting effects on you two." But before going any further Sarutobi gave a menacing glare at Minato, "And also I want to hear more about this so call kidnapping Minato I don't won't anymore surprises, understood."
"Hai Hokage"
((Flashback End))
oOooOooOo
A groan from the orangette brings Minato out of his thoughts. Stepping up to the bed Minato helps Ichigo set up and piles pillows behind him before laying him against them. Turning back to the table to get a cup of water he sees Ichigo rub the sleep out of his eyes. 'So cute just like a kitten.' Placing a hand on his shoulder to get his attention Minato helps Ichigo with holding the cup and drinking.
"More water" rasp out Ichigo. "My head hurts."
"Alright but don't drink so fast it could make you sick." Says Minato sounding like parent scolding a child. "And your head hurts because you were hit hard enough to knock you out."
"Why was I knock out?"
"You don't remember?" Seeing a negative shake, "Well you attacked several Anbu when you were surprised when one grab you. What do you remember?"
"Um I remember the pimp and that old guy showing up and that's it." Absently rubbing his arm Ichigo nervously starts to fidget and he leans forward putting his head in his hands, his anxiety rising enough that Minato can feel it coming off his lover in waves.
Concern at Ichigos change in mood he doesn't correct him on the names he called the Hokage and Jiraiya. 'I better get someone before he makes himself sick.'
"Ichigo are you feeling alright" placing a hand on his back and rubbing small circles, "I know everything is sudden and you feel out of place, but you don't have to worry I'll be taking care of you."
"I…don't know what to feel. I left my family and friends back home with an ego mantic bent on destroying everything I care about." His whole body starts to shake starting as small tremors and growing. "I don't know what to do." He says it so desperately that it causes Minato to wince.
Seeing his concern justified Minato gives a light kiss to Ichigos head as he lays him back against the pillows.
"Don't worry, stay here and relax I'll go and get a nurse your looking too pale for my taste."
Leaning out the door to talk to the Anbu guarding their door Minato instead comes face to face with the Third Hokage.
"Ah, Minato we were about to come in and talk with you."
"Um can this wait just a minute?" Minato franticly looks up and down the hallway until he spots a nurse and calls her over.
"Is everything alright? Are you unwell?" asked a worry Jiraiya.
"No not me, Ichigo, he uh I don't know what's wrong it's like he's having a panic attack or something." Allowing the nurse into the room Minato tries to follow, but is yank back out of the room.
"No, let her with him alone, just give him some space okay." Jiraiya tells his student as he drags a reluctant Minato down the hall to an outside courtyard. Not liking his own student's panic attack Jiraiya places him in front of their hospital room window. Turning Minatos head to look at a profile of Ichigos head.
"Okay see, you can see him and he can see you." Satisfied that Minato seems to have calm down he then speaks in a serious tone.
"Now I think it's about time you told us all that happen since you disappear."
Taking a deep breath and taking his eyes off Ichigo Minato looks first at Jiraiya then the Hokage before looking up at the sky.
"Alright, well as your aware sensei I was perfecting a new jutsu, that I finally did, and I was tweaking seals….
oOooOooOooOo
(With Ichigo)
Ichigo couldn't explain the sudden panic he was feeling. He felt fine when he woke up but all of a sudden if felt like the atmosphere just became heavy and with spiritual pressure. Even Minatos meager comfort help very little so when his mate lift the room his anxiety became worst his chest tighten and his breaths came quickly his headache which was a dull throb now was a raging blast. He felt like passing out and let oblivion take him.
The nurse seeing his declining state immanently took action. By regulating his breathing she had hope to calm his fast heart beat but nothing she did seem to have effect. Until she caught sight of a tall blond on the other side of the window. Taking Ichigos head in her hands she turns him to face to the window. She sighs in relief when just after seeing Minato his heart rate drops back to normal and his breathing slows down.
"Is there anything you need?" she asked as she checked his vitals
"My head still hurts." Came a tired reply
"Alright I'll go get some pain killers for your head, until then please stay in bed and try to rest." She says before leaving and shutting the door half way.
Reclining against his mound of pillows Ichigo continues to stare out the window at his mate. His eyelids start to slide close as his body relaxes. Before he knows it he is in his inner world. What he sees or in this case doesn't see leaves him shock and confused.
His inner world is disturbingly quiet with a strong gail of wind howling thru the tall sideway buildings, he can't fine Zangetsu nor his hollow he can't even sense their presentences. He knows that they were just here not too long ago, 'it's like they just disappeared' "Zangetsu!…Shrio! Where are you!" the howling wind is the only thing that answers him.
"…So…I'm all alone…what…what do I do now?" comes whisper words as Ichigo falls to his knees, "I don't want to be alone."
Before he falls more into despair there is a sharp pain to the back of his head, whipping around expecting to see his hollow but sees nothing but air. Again he feels another sharp pain to his neck and the echo of maniacal laughter. Jumping up and growling in frustration Ichigo balls his fist ready to punch the nearest surface. His anger dissipates when he feels a calming hand on his shoulder. Its then that he realizes that his hollow and zanpakuto are still here in a sense and that he is not alone as he thought. His other spirits in their own way made sure that he saw this.
But before he can figure out way his sword and hollow aren't there he is pull from his inner world. Opening his eyes to meet twin pools of blue filled with worry. Smiling to reassure his mate that he is alright Ichigo sits up a gives a quick peck to Minatos lips before lying back down.
"Ichigo I'm glad you're alright, you had me worried yesterday and then you wouldn't wake up even when the nurse tried to give you your meds."
"Sorry I worried you." Sighing then looking at Minato confused, "Yesterday? I've been unconscious that long?"
"Yes, my sensei thought that he hit you too hard and caused some major damage." Giving Ichigo a tired smile, "When you started to panic I had thought that, well I really couldn't think at the time. Jiraiya and the Hokage pull me aside to the nurse could work. They wanted to know about what had happen to us."
"Oh, is that why you were outside?"
"Yes, the Hokage has deicide that I will be release back to the care of my sensei, you'll be staying a bit longer until it's clear that you won't be repeating what happen yesterday. Okay."
Looking serious, Ichigo just nodded but he also wonder if this meant that he wouldn't be able to see Minato again. As if reading his thoughts Minato quickly reassured his mate.
"When you are release from the hospital, you'll be place in my care with an Anbu guard." Seeing that Ichigo was still not convince Minato places both hands on Ichigos shoulders and gives him a deep kiss only to break away for air.
"I'll think that tonight I'll stay with you. I did promise that I would ravish you until you couldn't walk, but I don't like other people seeing that sexy face you make so I'll wait until later." Leaning down for another kiss before rising back up Minato whispers into Ichigos ear, "So you better be prepared to stay in bed for a while."
Leaving a red and stun Ichigo Minato leaves with a skip in his step, but before he's out the door he's hit in the head with a flying water pitcher. Rubbing the growing lump and ignoring his laughing sensei and the snickering ANBU Minato continues down the hall towards the nurse's station to inform them that he'll be staying with Ichigo.
'Oh yes this is going to be fun.'
