Chapter 10: Nightmare Miracles

Covering her eyes from the harsh wind that blew around the, she noticed a dark tall shadow standing in the middle with what looked like a sword as long as his own height. Kagome blinked the moment she made contact with her hands. Her eyes traveled over her own garments, noticing that she was only wearing a simple white kimono.

'W-What just...happened?' Her eyes glided back to see Ichigo standing with a full Shinigami kimono over his person. In a blink of an eye, he had moved away from his spot and stopped a few feet away from the hollow.

Looking behind his shoulder, the hollow growled once his arm was sliced off cleanly and had dropped onto the ground. The screech of his pain echoed throughout the street even catching Rukia's attention immediately.

Finally able to remove the wood that was over her petite body, she looked over at the wounded hollow: "W-Who did that?" Her eyes traveled over to see Kagome looking just as shocked as she was. Her attire had changed completely. 'K-Kagome-chan?'

From what she could see, Kagome was full clothed with only a white kimono and usually, Shinigami that were powerless had that on – which was a rare case. Rukia looked over at the tall person with the huge sword over his shoulders: "Who...is that?" The moment the smoke cleared and her eyes caught the bright orange hair, her eyes widened: "I-Impossible!"

Quickly, she called out for Kagome: "Kagome! What did you do?"

Catching her attention, Kagome looked at the petite Shinigami: "I'm sorry but it was the only way!"

"You gave him all of your powers!" she shouted back. "Do you know how much trouble you will get into?"

"I only...meant to give him half of my powers," Kagome drifted her eyes down, unable to see Rukia's shocked and fearful eyes. "I didn't know I would lose them all."

Rukia's head spun to stare at Ichigo's full stance: 'This sensation...like before, I couldn't sense the hollow's spiritual pressure but both Kagome-chan and this kid could. My senses were being jammed by him! Why didn't I realize it sooner? That room itself was filled of spiritual energy...from him! That is what confused my senses!' Rukia's eyes narrowed down a bit: 'Kagome-chan is an expert on sensing reiatsu but it has always been a mystery as to why no one, not even the strongest Shinigami could sense her reiatsu – it's like she doesn't have one but for this kid to take all of her powers...? Who is he?'

Kagome slowly got up on her feet and noticed Ichigo raising his sword: 'The Zanpaktou responds to dark force by changing shape...,' her eyes followed the length of the blade: 'never have I seen it so huge!'

In a blink of an eye, Ichigo rushed forward and slashed off the hollow's leg, making it howl in pain. Ichigo looked up to see the hollow hoping towards him to attack, preparing him to finish him off with one last attack.

Ichigo glared: "That's for attacking my family you fish-faced freak!" Slashing down vertically on the hollow's mask, he stared at nothing but air as the hollow quickly dissolved into the air, leaving only the destruction and chaos he had created. Kagome stood, awed by Ichigo's strength on his first try with her powers: 'H-His reiatsu...he has no idea how much he has. It almost feels like it could be at the level of a captain's...or higher.'

Ichigo sighed, watching as the smoke subsided from his attack. Turning around, he watched Kagome gripping her arm with the other. He gave her a small rare smile and opened his mouth, ready to speak. Kagome's eyes slightly widened as she noticed Ichigo slowly loosing control of his stand and ready to fall to the ground.

Running, she caught him with the help of Rukia coming in time to grab his shoulders. Kagome sighed in relief: "Thanks, Rukia-chan."

Rukia looked at Ichigo's unconscious body: "You do realize what you have done, right?"

"I know," she answered without a pause in between. "But, I couldn't bare to look at his desperate face like that. He really cares about his family."

"But if Soul Society finds out-," Kagome stopped Rukia's words with a smile: "I understand the consequences, Rukia-chan. I know what I did was foolish but if time was to rewind, I don't think I would undo what I did. His family and him didn't deserve this."

Rukia sighed at Kagome's kind words. After only knowing her for a few months, she had come to understand and love Kagome. Kagome had a heart and kindness that a was big enough to share around. Kagome held no grudges and always had a determination that was admired by many Shinigami in Soul Society and for her to run away like that without a word really made Rukia worry. What made her decide that? She needed to know...

Kagome cut into Rukia's thoughts: "We should get his family inside and erase their memories on this event."

"What about him?" she asked.

Kagome pouted: "No other choice. He is a Shinigami now. He at least deserves to keep these memories, no?"

"I guess," answered Rukia. "I'll erase his family's memories and can you lay him down on his room?"

"I'll try," Kagome gave out a sheepish laugh while she scratched the back of her head, leaving all of the heavy weight to Rukia to carry.

"Ugh!" grunted Rukia as she was taken down by the heaviness: "K-Kagome-chan..."

"Oh!" gasped Kagome. "Sorry about that. He is pretty heavy, huh?"

Rukia rolled her eyes and noticed a small scratch on Ichigo's nose from the fall to the floor: "You think he will notice that?"

Kagome leaned over to get a glimpse on his face and noticed the trickle of blood coming down: "Um, hopefully not..."

"Good Morning Ichigo!"

Hearing the sound of someone calling him from his good sleep, he snapped his eyes open only to see his own father jumping up and ready to kick him in the gut.

"Hiyaaaah!" shouted his father, ready to use his combat attack on his son.

Ichigo flipped out of his own bed and grabbed his father's face and slammed him down on the ground: "What kind of freak attacks his own son in his sleep?" he exclaimed his question.

"Umf...! Not bad boy!" smiled his father through Ichigo's large hand: "I...have nothing left to teach you!"

Blinking, Ichigo looked over his father's condition: "H-Hey...where are your wounds?"

"Wounds? What wounds? Did I get hurt?" A confused expression spread out on Isshin's face. "If anything, you have a scratch on your nose, son."

Mimicking his facial expression, Ichigo raised an eye brow: "Say what?" He stood up and walked out of his room in a quick pace and down stairs only to see his sisters making breakfast but what also caught his attention was the huge hole on the wall along with a broken table and other furniture.

"Onii-chan!" exclaimed Yuzu with a smile: "You're okay too!"

"Uh...yeah," he replied, not even sure what to say to this whole thing.

Karin caught his attention with her sigh: "Trust me, that was our face too when we woke up to this mess."

"Y-You guys aren't hurt?" he questioned.

"Hurt?" repeated Yuzu. "We are perfectly fine!"

Ichigo noticed his father walking outside with a hammer in his hand and still with that smug look on his face. Following him out, he saw planks of wood ready be hammered onto the wall for now before the full repair could be done. Ichigo's eyebrow twitched as he watched the destruction from the outside and heard his father speak: "What a miracle! A truck crashes into our house and nobody gets a scratch!"

Yuzu raised her hands: "Double miracle none of us even woke up!"

Karin rolled her eyes while crossing her arms: "Some miracle. The jerk left us the repair bills and not only that...Kagome-neechan was the only one that did get wounded."

"What?" exclaimed Isshin. "Why didn't I know about this?"

"She left to go get medical attention," Yuzu sighed in worry. "She said that she didn't want to bother you otou-san so, she went to another clinic to get healed."

"I would have gladly helped her!" Isshin cried out fake tears, hearing that Kagome had gone off somewhere else for help when their own house was a clinic.

Ichigo's eyes widened as he looked at Karin: "K-Kagome...got wounded?"

"Yeah," she replied blandly. "Her shoulder was pretty bloody and she said her ribs were hurting a bit. She must have been around the area when the truck hit the wall."

"You two saw her?" asked Ichigo.

Yuzu nodded: "Yeah, she left right after we woke up telling us that not to worry and that she will be fine."

Looking back at the crashed wall, Ichigo's eyes furrowed down: 'What's going on? Their wounds are gone...vanished. They think it was truck.' An image of Kagome cam into mind when she had taken the attack for him: 'And Kagome got wounded because of me. Where the heck did she go?' Rukia's face appeared in his memories: 'And that other Shinigami, did she go back to that Soul Society place? She probably took Kagome to get her wounds cleaned up?'

Ichigo relaxed his eyes: 'I don't know exactly what happened after I had taken Kagome's powers but...she could have at least left a note.'

A big sigh escaped a young woman's lips as she stared at the school's ceiling while holding a thin math practice book. Her dark gray eyes blinked the more she continued to stare.

"Hey! Stop that!" Looking to her right, she noticed a slim girl with a punk stylish hair cut smiling at her: "Don't waste your youth daydreaming!"

"Tatsuki," the other girl whispered her name while tucking in a strand of strawberry color hair behind her ear.

The girl named Tatsuki looked around the classroom: "Ichigo is late!"

"Huh?"

"Weren't you thinking about him?" smirked Tatsuki at the big busted girl.

"Unh...no!" she denied back with a blush already appearing on her cheeks.

Tatsuki remained silent a few seconds, observing her friend's facial expression. Tatsuki brought a seat near the girl's desk and leaned close: "What is so great about him, Orihime? He's got tweaked-out hair, he is rude, immature, short-tempered...a girl with boobs like yours could do a lot better."

"He's funny!" Orihime gave her an unexpected answer.

"Huh?"

"When I think of Kurosaki-kun's scowling face...," Orihime closed her eyes, leaving her with an image of Ichigo's everyday face. Tatsuki scooted back as Orihime began to laugh at her own head.

"Um, okay...," she looked around the classroom again.

"He may be absent today."

Both girls looked at the average height kid with black hair removing his head phones as he looked at them. He turned off his phone: "Ichigo, I mean."

"Mizuro," Orihime called out his name.

"How come?" blinked Tatsuki. "You usually come to school with him."

"Yeah," he gave them a sheepish laugh. "I stopped by his place this morning and there was a big hole in his house. They said a truck plowed into it in the middle of the night. So his dad says."

"A truck?" exclaimed Tatsuki, surprised by the news. "So...is he hurt? Or maybe...dead...," suddenly, a heavy bag hit her behind the head, making her neck fall with the weight.

"Alive."

All three heard a familiar voice behind the girls. Looking at the guy, they saw Ichigo with his bag in hand and glaring at Tatsuki: "Sorry to disappoint you, we all survived."

"Kurosaki-kun!" smiled Orihime. "G-Good morning!"

"Uh...right. You're happy as usual, Orihime," he blinked at her cheerful mood. Walking to his desk, Mizuro looked behind his shoulder: "You're here. I thought you were fixing your house?"

"Yeah," sighed Ichigo as he sat on his desk. "What is third period?"

Mizuro thought on his own for a moment: "Contemporary events."

"That is Ochi-sensei. She won't ask annoying questions," before he could relax, he heard someone trip next to his desk and dropping a few books. Looking down, he noticed it was a girl with long ebony hair and having a few bandages on her neck, head, and even a few on her arms.

Kneeling down, he began to help the girl with her books along with Mizuro helping out Mizuro gave her a smile: "You have to be careful, Higurashi-san."

"Heh, yeah, sorry. It is a pain carrying all of this when you are all bandaged up," Ichigo's eyes quickly turned over to see her face as he heard the familiar name.

After they had stood up, the girl grabbed the books in Ichigo's hand and looked up: "Thank yo-," her own blue eyes widened, catching his familiar face.

"You!" he shouted.

"Um," she gulped down her nervousness.

He looked at her condition: "Y-You really did get hurt? Why didn't you go to my fathe-" he was soon cut off as he heard another familiar voice.

"Son of a...are you Kurosaki-san?"

All present turned to look at the person behind Kagome. Sighing at her choice of words, Kagome closed her eyes and shook her head: 'Oh boy...'

"Nice to meet you!" Rukia gave him a smile with her eyes, making him start to sweat out of confusion.

Mizuro walked in front of the two girls: "This is Kuchiki Rukia and this is her sister Higurashi Kagome. Both come from different fathers so that is why their family name is different. They started here yesterday. It is an unusual time to transfer but they said that their family had to move."

Rukia closed her eyes and smiled at the orange head while give out her hand: "Ichigo, I don't have any textbooks yet. Son of a...do you mind sharing yours with me?"

Kagome cut in, stepping forward and in between them: "Um, Rukia-chan, I don't think that is necessar-," she stopped as she saw Rukia turning her hand to have Ichigo read her palm.

Ichigo read the words: 'Make a scene...and you're so dead!' Scooting back, he looked at Kagome: 'Is she out of her mind?'

Kagome shrugged, not even finding the words to give him: 'I feel like we got him even more involved than we should have.'
