Chapter 10: Trial by combat Kurosuchi's fate.
Previously on a Romance Forbidden or Not…
"Ichigo your enjoying this aren't you?" Rukia asked
"Every minute of it." He replied. "I can't wait to see the look on Kurosuchi's face when he's told that he hasn't been the captain of squad 12 for all most a week watching that fool's jaw drop is going to be priceless."
Back in the Seireitei 10:15 a.m.
Ichigo had just stepped backed into the Seireitei Kisuke and Hikufune in tow when Unohana suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Ichigo!" Unohana shouted as she ran up to him, gave him a hug, a searing hot kiss and wrapped her legs around his waist. "What are you do here I wasn't expecting you until this weekend?" she asked as Ichigo put her down.
"I can leave and go back if you like." Ichigo said teasingly.
"Of course not Ichigo. While I admit that seeing you here is a surprise it isn't an un-welcome one." She said as she put her arms around his neck. "So what are you doing here?"
"Well… Operation Flycatcher came to a head and I am here to finish it." Ichigo said, "He hasn't bothered you or tried to hurt you has he?"
"Hurt me?" she asked, "What's gotten into you Ichigo, where's the brave young man that I am going marry? The Ichigo Shiba standing before me seems less sure of himself and more scared. What happened to you?"
"Retsu, something has happened but I'll fill you in after the captains meeting. I will tell you this, it wasn't pretty consider yourself lucky that you were here and not with us." Yoruichi said. Ichigo put his hand up and said "No Yoruichi go ahead and show her I don't want her getting caught unaware." Ichigo said as Yoruichi handed Retsu the file that Ichigo was looking at, it was labeled Subject 0988. Retsu opened the file and was visibly shocked. "I had no idea it was this bad. I heard rumors but I never thought they were true and I never thought it was this bad." Retsu said
"Yeah Retsu it's that bad. Ichigo got very angry when he read that file so much so that it frightened the rest of us and the contents made Rukia and Lisa physically ill. None of us had ever seen him so angry before, he was so angry his entire body was shaking but that's not the worst of it, the bloodlust in his eyes told me that if he had his way he would have come back here and ripped Kurosuchi's head off for everything he has done. Thankfully, we were able to get him calmed down with the help of our friends, his Zanpaktou and the hogyoku but to be honest it was touch and go for a minute especially considering how concerned he was for your safety. It was gut wrenching seeing that helpless defeated look in his eyes." Yoruichi said
Retsu walked up to Ichigo after her conversation with Yoruichi wrapped her arm around his and said "Ichigo while I am touched for your concern for my safety it is not needed ever since we discovered what this creature has done I placed a barrier around my squad that targets his reiryoku specifically. If Kurosuchi comes near my squad or tries to force his way in for any reason he gets a very painful shock the memory of which would stay with him for weeks if not months so don't worry I stay in my office or private quarters unless needed elsewhere, besides I'm not exactly helpless you know. Before I was Captain of the 4th I was Captain of the 11th I was the very first Kenpachi and one of the Soul Society's most ruthless killers. I am also one of the only two members of the 1st generation of the Gotei 13 still on active duty the other on is my father your future father-in-law."
Ichigo eyes went for a second before he said, "I know you can take care of yourself Retsu just like Yoruichi and the others it's just that ever since my mom died right in front of me I can't help but be a little over protective of those I care about. Having someone you care die right in front you the way my mother did and not being able to help them causes a feeling of helplessness that doesn't ever completely go away but I am working on it."
"I know that Ichigo but you need believe in us the way we believe in you. That door opens both ways. We will be there to help you through this but have to do some of the work yourself we cannot do it for you, myself and the others want to be loved by you not protected by you, we want you to watch our backs not fight our battles for us understand." Retsu said as she caressed Ichigo's face with her hand.
"Yes Retsu I understand and I will try." Ichigo said.
Retsu just smiled and said, "Good that's all I ask. Now I believe we have a traitor to arrest."
Oh crap you're right and we're already 5 minutes late to the meeting." Ichigo said as everyone flashed off to the meeting.
Captains Meeting Room 11:00 a.m.
All the captains arrived for the meeting early. Everyone there knew what was going on and what was about to happen except Kurosuchi himself who stood there with a cocky smirk on his face.
"Captain Kurosuchi is there something funny that you'd like to share with the rest of us?" Captain Hitsugiya asked.
"Not so much funny as ironic. The new captain of the 14th isn't here and after all we've done for him that arrogant little monkey couldn't be bothered to show up when he's ordered to." Kurosuchi said.
"I'm sorry I am late the arrogant little monkey is right here, and for the record Kurosuchi you've never done anything for me or anyone else." Ichigo said, "Speaking of which." Ichigo took out the folder underneath his arms and began to read its contents to the captains and lieutenants gathered there.
"Subject #:0988. Species: Soul Reaper. Name: Not Important. Final report Captain Mayuri Kurosuchi reporting; Subject 0988 displayed an unusual ability to teleport short distances and I asked if I could study him to find some way to replicate the ability. Initial tests provided no usable results so in order to study the subject further dissection was required. Subject 0988 was forcibly sedated and underwent an 8-hour dissection to study his reiatsu, soul chain, blood, brain, and any other biological functions that may govern this ability. Unfortunately, I found no reason why the subject had the ability of teleportation or evidence to suggest I could replicate it. I have found dozens of other soul reapers
with this ability so I will study them further to try and replicate the ability." Ichigo said, "Look such lovely pictures for everyone to look at thank you so much Mayuri Kurosuchi."
"Where did you get that file?" Mayuri shouted as he lunged at Ichigo to try to take the file back. Ichigo dodged and immediately punched Mayuri in the face sending him cart wheeling through the air and finally crashing into the wall behind.
What happened next surprised everyone in the room. Ichigo drew Shinso, released him without a word into the former captain's shoulder, and gave the blade in his hand a hard twist. "AH!" Mayuri screamed.
"You wish to know where I got this file Mayuri. I got it from that lovely daughter of yours; she somehow figured out what we were doing and willingly gave us all of your records, which detail very graphically the innocent people you have killed. Coincidentally this man right here is a Quincy the very last one you experimented on his name was Souken Ishida and he wasn't Uryu's grandfather he was also mine." Ichigo said, "You know Mayuri I never thought hearing a cowardly piece of garbage like you scream would be so satisfying. I think it's time I let you in on a few more secrets, you are no longer captain of the 12th."
"What do you mean you simpleton?" Mayuri asked.
Ichigo grinned and yelled "Kisuke!" Just then, Kisuke walked in with Kirio Hikufune on his arm.
"I mean what I just said, Kisuke has been the Captain for almost a week it was voted on last week when all the captains, lieutenants, the Soul King, and the Royal Guard all had diner at Shiba Manor in essence we nocked you off your pedestal and you didn't even know it. Every order you've given has been countermanded by Kisuke." Ichigo said, "Mayuri Kurosuchi by order of the Soul King, the royal guard, Central 46, and the captains of the 14 court guard squads I hereby place you under arrest on charges of High Treason, and 3500 counts running Illegal and forbidden experiments and murder, 900 counts on soul reapers and 2600 counts on Quincy's. As of now your rank is revoked you have no protection of said rank and no rights. I am also ordering your incarceration and your execution in 3 days' time. Your execution will be a trail by combat and your executioner's shall be the individuals whose lives have most affected by your callousness namely myself, Ryuken and Uryu Ishida."
"Why you foolish little monkey!" Mayuri spat verminously as he tried one final act of defiance.
"Silence fool! Ichigo screamed as lightning shot out from his fingertips shocking everyone in the room including Mayuri himself.
"That ability you just saw is called Genso sosa and is one of three the hogyoku gave me. As for Kyoka Suigetsu, I now have the ability to choose whom I want to hypnotize and what senses I wish to control. I also removed any influence she once had over everyone else in this room so her release will no longer affect any of them, well everyone except you that is. Still struggling eh, we will just have to see how many bakudo it will take to keep you still. Jugeki Rikujokoro, Jugeki Goju tekan. What only two I must say I am not impressed and you actually call yourself a captain Kurosuchi it would take more than that to successfully bind anyone of the captains in this room. I guess you are not as strong as you think you are. I guess that is what happens when Nemu is not here to fight you battles for you. Stop struggling fool!" Ichigo exclaimed as he placed his hand in front of Kurosuchi's face and said, "Tanma Otoshi" as Kurosuchi collapsed unconscious. (AN: Jugeki Rikujokoro, and Jugeki Goju tekan are extremely powerful modified forms bakudo's 61 and 75 that Ichigo created himself with the help of Yoruichi and Kisuke and given Ichigo's powers they are solid black and crimson and Shinji taught him Tanma Otoshi. Genso sosa means elemental manipulation.)
"Yukiko did you happen to bring any restraints with you?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes I did." She replied. "Would you please put them on Kurosuchi, when he wakes up he'll be a prison cell."
Mayuri POV
Sure enough when Kurosuchi awoke, he was in a prison cell. His reiatsu was sealed through the cuffs around his wrists, his Zanpaktou was gone and captain's haori was missing. He thought to himself "so this isn't just a nightmare." There he waited for his execution to come.
Back in the Captains Meeting 1:55 p.m.
"Ichigo was it really necessary to go that far?" Shunsui asked.
"Not really Shunsui but I really enjoyed it." Ichigo said with a smirk as Shunsui and everyone else just chuckled.
"Retsu how is Isane's training coming?" Ichigo asked.
"Very well Ichigo. In fact, she has completed her kaido training ahead of schedule and is on the verge of completing her bankai; she was farther along than I initially thought." As she said that Isane blushed at the praise her captain gave her.
"Nice work Isane. You will make a fine Captain and I think everyone here will agree with me. Now that Kurosuchi has been arrested is there anything else you or Lady Yamada wish to discuss Head Captain Yamamoto." Ichigo asked.
"No Ichigo I don't think that will be necessary." Lady Yamada said.
"By the way Kisuke, Kurosuchi's trial will take place were I had my final battle with Aizen think you can arrange it so that the fight can be broadcast to all the squads, C46, the royal realm, the noble plain, and to my friends in Karakura town?" Ichigo asked.
"It will be difficult be to accomplish in 3 days but I should be to come up with something with Kirio's help of course." Kisuke said.
"If that will be all head captain, Lady Yamada I have a prior engagement back In Karakura town. I will see all of you in three days." Ichigo said as everyone nodded and he left.
Shiba Residence Karakura Town 3:55 p.m.
"Mom! Dad! Karin! Yuzu! Anyone here!" Ichigo called out
"IIIICHHIIIGGOOOO!" Isshin called out as he tried to kick his son in the head, Ichigo grabbed his foot and flung him across the room.
"Must you always greet me that way when I walk in the door?" Ichigo asked.
"What I gotta keep your skills sharp." Isshin said.
"Well if you want to do that lets go to Kisuke's and use his underground training room." Ichigo said.
"No need." Isshin replied.
"And why not?" Ichigo asked.
"Because we have our own on the premises." Isshin said. "Really." Ichigo replied.
"Yeah and it's huge, it's bigger than Kisuke's in fact I think he said that ours would eventually meet up with his at some point." Isshin replied, "You should see this place. It has two master suites one of which is yours, 50 guest rooms, a library, a communications room for keeping in touch with soul society, a billiards room, a movie theater. It also has an indoor pool and basketball court, a garage for our cars in, a huge kitchen and dining room as well as a formal dining room, a weight and exercise room, and huge deck off the back for parties and cooking out. This place is huge." Isshin said.
"Have our guests gotten themselves settled in yet?" Ichigo asked. Isshin nodded in reply.
"Good I think it's time to get Uryu and Ryuken over here and complete our family." Ichigo said as he to get the keys to his escalade.
"Ichigo got up to leave when Yoruichi and Nell asked him where he was going to which he replied, "I'm going to get Uryu and Ryuken and bring them over. Some people wish to see them. You two want to come. They nodded in reply. "Ichigo! Orihime and I are coming also." Rukia said. "Okay but let's hurry I don't want to miss them." Ichigo said. Rukia and Orihime nodded in reply. They all packed into Ichigo's SUV and left.
About 25 minutes later, they arrived at the Ishida residence and Ichigo knocked on the door.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! The door opened and Uryu was standing there.
"Ichigo!" Uryu exclaimed in surprise.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Oh, I was just out and about and thought I'd swing by and say hello to my cousin." Ichigo said.
"Is your dad home?" he asked. "Yeah he's home why, and why did you address me as cousin?" Uryu inquired.
"One, because there are something's the two of you should know, and two because we are cousins on my mother's side." Ichigo replied. Uryu's eyes went wide at that last statement; you mean to say your mother was a Quincy"? He asked.
"Yes Uryu my mother was a pure blooded Quincy just like your dad and my father is a pure blooded soul reaper and former head of the Shiba clan which by the way is what I am now as well as Captain of the new 14th squad." Ichigo said.
About this time, Ryuken came up behind his son and asked, "Well Uryu are you going to let your cousin in or just stand there?" When Uryu finally got his jaw off the floor, he said, "Yes of course please come in."
"So Ichigo why have you decided to pay me a visit today?" Ryuken asked.
"Well I came for three reasons one is to inform you that Operation Flycatcher went off without a hitch and as a result we gathered enough evidence to arrest the former Captain of Squad Twelve for the atrocities he committed against soul reapers and Quincy alike, we took him into custody a short time ago. Two I have also come to inform you that in three days' time the three of us are to carry out his execution in a trial by combat which will be carried out at the site of my battle with Aizen so we'll have plenty of room to go wild." Ichigo said which he could tell made them both very happy to hear. "What's the third thing Ichigo?" his uncle asked. "The third thing is I came to pick the both of you up and take you back to my place, there is something the two of you need to see." Ichigo said.
"Don't you mean someone Ichigo?" Ryuken said. "That too Uncle." Ichigo replied which peeked his Uncles curiosity. "Are you referring to your mother Ichigo? Ryuken asked.
"Yes Uncle, But there are three more Individuals that have been wanting to see you for the last week. I could not allow them to until the investigation into Kurosuchi's activities was complete so I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark." Ichigo said.
"Very well Nephew I'll get my car and follow you back to your father's clinic." Ryuken said.
"Oh they aren't there, it turns out that the substitute soul reaper business is quite lucrative I bought my own place. Uryu knows it quite well, it's the old Bount Mansion which is also why I brought my own car to take you over myself but you're still more than welcome to follow us in your own car." Ichigo said.
Ryuken nodded and he and Uryu follow Ichigo to his place. They were more than a little shocked when they pulled into the driveway of Ichigo's new house.
Outside Ichigo's home 5:00 p.m.
"Welcome guys our guests are waiting for you inside." Ichigo said. "Ichigo who is waiting for us inside?" Uryu asked. Ichigo put his arms around his cousins and Uncles neck and asked, "Do the names Souken, Sachi, and Kanae sound familiar to either of you?"
"You mean they are alive?" Ryuken asked in a shaky voice with tears in eyes.
"Yes Uncle they are. They were in the Royal Realm until a week ago when the soul king brought them to Shiba Manor in the noble Plain. I brought them here a little while ago. Well uncle what are the two of you standing around for our family is waiting for you are you going to keep them waiting?" Ichigo asked.
"No we are not. Thank you nephew." Ryuken said.
"For what Uncle?" Ichigo asked, "I only helped a little the Soul King did most of the work." Ichigo said as Ryuken smiled at him, which had not happened in a while.
Ryuken opened the door and standing before them was his wife Kanae, mother Sachi, and father Souken before they could so much as say hello he pulled all three into hug over joyed to see them and they him. Uryu waited for his turn and as soon as his father was done, he did exactly the same thing.
Ichigo went over to the couch and sat down, Yoruichi came over a few minutes later sat down next to him, gave him a kiss nuzzled into his chest and said, "I'm very proud of you Ichigo."
After the hug fest was over with the Ishida's sat down directly across from Ichigo and Uryu asked, "How did you accomplish this Ichigo?" "I don't understand how this is possible."
"As I understand it Uryu, the Soul King retrieved their souls along with my mother's from hell, took them to the Royal Realm, and restored their lost Quincy powers and also taught them to become soul reapers as well, so in a sense they are Quincy/Soul Reaper hybrids like me and my sisters." Ichigo said.
"Hell! What were their souls doing in hell? They did nothing to deserve such a fate!" Uryu exclaimed.
"Oh but they did Uryu. The powers that Quincy's use are designed to destroy hollows in their entirety and in doing so you destroy their souls and in the eyes of Soul King to destroy a soul and remove it from the cycle of reincarnation is a grave sin of the highest order and one deserving of a trip to hell. However, the Soul King has been keeping an eye on both of our families for many years and he knew that your mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, and your aunt my mother only ever used their powers to protect the innocent from hollows. They may have destroyed the souls of those hollows but they didn't do so with malicious intent, they did so out their genuine concern for the safety of others and so the Soul King gave them a new lease of life and resurrected their souls." Ichigo said.
"Here drink this." Ichigo said as he tossed two small vials of golden colored liquid at his uncle and cousin.
"Before the two of you ask the liquid is called Ichor and it is the Oken but it is also the blood of the Soul King. Drinking this will increase your powers 100 fold and unlock your Quincy letter like it did with me, among other things." Ichigo said. He looked around and didn't see Yoruichi or Lisa.
"Anybody seen Yoruichi and Lisa?" Ichigo asked.
"I think they're downstairs sparing Ichigo." His father told him.
"Really maybe I'll just sneak down there and see how they are doing." Ichigo said with a smirk as he got out of his former body, which was now a gigai thanks to Kisuke's technology suppressed his energy and made his way down the ladder to the training room.
Lemon
As he got down there he didn't hear any combat going on so he decided to walk around. He had been walking aimlessly for about 25 minutes when he began to hear a lot of moaning coming from the direction of the hot springs. He began to walk that way as he got there he saw that both Yoruichi and Lisa where naked. They were making out, playing with each other's breasts and grinding their sex against the others. Ichigo ducked behind a boulder and turned to leave when he heard Lisa ask panting under her partners ministrations "Yoruichi why are we doing this again, I'm all for a little fun and all but we have a perfectly sexy man upstairs that could do this and more if we wanted him to?"
"I know that Lisa but he hasn't made a move and got tired of waiting. I needed a release." Yoruichi said.
Hearing this Ichigo took off all his cloths and snuck around behind Yoruichi. "Now this isn't nice Yoru-Chan having a party and not inviting me, if this was the kind of release you wanted all you had to do was ask." Ichigo said as began to fondle Yoruichi's breasts and twist her nipples between his fingers. He nipped her ear and said, "I already had Nell and Tia, and the two of you looked like you wanted it next so I was just waiting till you said something." Ichigo said as he reached down and began massage the nub of her delicate pink flower. "Ichigo I'm. I'm cumming AH!" Yoruichi screamed as she came all over Lisa's sex and firm toned stomach and lay against Ichigo's chest.
"That's it you wanted us to say something well we're saying it now." She said as she threw Ichigo back on the hard ground placed her dripping wet honey pot in his face and began to suck his 9-inch long member. Lisa was sitting there waiting her turn when she felt Ichigo stick three fingers into her waiting entrance and thrust in and out and up and down until his ministrations and her own sensitivity from her time with Yoruichi earlier caught up with her and she came all over Ichigo's face and Yoruichi's ass.
Yoruichi had decided that it was time for the main course but Ichigo wouldn't let her up, "Ichigo your gonna make me cum again." she said. Just as she said that Ichigo thrust his tongue inside her making her cum for the second time that evening, Ichigo drank every bit of her sweet nectar.
Yoruichi got off Ichigo's face, lined up her waiting entrance with his rock hard tool, and then sat down hard. While there was a lot of pain because she hadn't had a man in over a century there was also a lot of pleasure to. Ichigo's size was something she had not felt before he was bigger than her former lover was. "Kukaku was right she does like it rough, in that case I'll give it to her rough." Ichigo thought.
Yoruichi began to grind against her lover as Ichigo focused on eating Lisa out until he stopped Yoruichi's grinding and thrust in and out of her as hard as he could first going slow and then alternating between slow and fast every few minutes. This went on for hour and Yoruichi could tell her end was coming but she could also tell that Ichigo was trying to hold himself back to keep from cumming inside her. "Ichigo don't worry about it I want you to cum inside me let's cum together please." Yoruichi pleaded.
The minute she said that Ichigo began to thrust harder and faster until the tip of his penis was touching her womb. "Ichigo! Ichigo! Oh, yes harder! Faster!" she screamed as they both reached their end at the same time "Ichigo! Yoruichi!" they both shouted as Yoruichi came on his lap as Ichigo shot his load inside of her. Ichigo tried to move Yoruichi to make room for Lisa but Yoruichi wouldn't move instead she began grinding against her lovers still rock hard member to milk as much of his thick creamy seed out of him as she could before she had to give up the feeling of being one with her man. "Yoruichi I'm still sensitive if you do that now I'll cum, Yoruichi I'm cumming!" Ichigo exclaimed as he shot another large load inside her.
Yoruichi got off her man and Ichigo noticed that his seed was flowing out of her pussy and she said "Okay Lisa your turn." As she bent down to give her lover a kiss and then collapsed on the futon next to him. "I can already tell I'm going to be walking weird for the next few days; I never knew Ichigo was such a monster in bed I guess now I do." Yoruichi thought.
Lisa was already dripping wet by the time she got her turn she looked at Ichigo and said, "Ichigo I've had enough foreplay, I haven't had a man in over a hundred years but I never liked gentle, I want you to ram it in me as hard as you can." Hearing this Ichigo got up and aligned his still rock hard tool with her waiting entrance and thrust in hard. Ichigo could feel her blood trickling down his penis, Lisa wrapped her legs around his waist and began grinding against his member this was all the incentive he needed. Ichigo began thrusting in and out her as hard and fast as he could. The sound of flesh smacking against flesh was all that could be heard for over an hour until finally both Lisa and Ichigo knew that the others end was coming soon but neither one wanted it to end so Ichigo alternated between a slow and fast for another 20 minutes or so.
Finally they both gave in to what they knew was coming and just as Ichigo was about to pull out she said "No Ichigo I want you to cum inside me." "But you could get pregnant and for that matter so could Yoruichi." Ichigo said. "That's fine I don't care, as long as it's your child I don't care and I don't think Yoruichi does either." Lisa said as Ichigo looked over to Yoruichi only to see her looking at him with a smile on her face rubbing her belly. When he saw that he just sped up until he and Lisa both came. "Lisa! I'm cumming! Me to Ichigo!" they both shouted as Ichigo shot his load inside her and Lisa soaked the ground Ichigo was standing on with her cum. Ichigo began moving again thrusting in and out just as fast before. "Ichigo if you do that now I'll cum, I'm cumming! Ichigo!" Lisa screamed as she came again and Ichigo shot a second load inside her both of them finally collapsing on the futon next to Yoruichi.
"Ichigo that was great, I've never had it that good before. Not even my former fiancé could make me scream like that." Yoruichi said still breathing heavily.
"I agree with her Ichigo, and while that was my first time in over a century I expect many more like it in the future. But for now I think a dip in the hot springs to clean off the smell of sweat and sex is in order." Lisa said to which Ichigo and Yoruichi nodded their heads, got themselves cleaned up dressed and headed back up stairs.
Little did Ichigo and his lovers know that their little sexual encounter that evening left both Yoruichi and Lisa with gift that would soon start growing in each of their wombs, but they wouldn't find out about it for another few weeks? As they started heading back, upstairs Yoruichi and Lisa asked Ichigo if he regretted it even if there was a possibility that they could get pregnant and he promptly said, "No, if the two of you do wind up pregnant because of this I couldn't be happier and I know my parents will be overjoyed. Our children will want for nothing and will grow up with a loving family and people that they will always be able to count on and that is all any parent could ever ask for." Ichigo said which got him a kiss from the two lovely ladies next to him.
Back upstairs
Yoruichi, Ichigo, and Lisa had just joined everyone back upstairs when Isshin pulled his son aside and said "I know what you were doing down there and it wasn't sparring either. You were having your own private party with Yoruichi and Lisa weren't you?" "So what if I was dad it's not like you have any business lecturing me on pre-marital sex when you probably had it all the time with Rangiku and mom and don't get me started on the amount of times you probably did it unprotected." Ichigo said.
"Calm down Ichigo I was not going to lecture you. I wanted to make sure you understood the implications of what you did. If those two especially Yoruichi end up pregnant it could cause a scandal even though you are trying to rebuild the Shiba clan the Shihoin's would understand the rest of the nobility would not and they would try annul the engagement. However, You do have an option to keep that from happening get married now or at the very least before either of them starts showing that way the nobility will have nothing to say because you will be seen as a young man who is trying to take responsibility." Isshin said.
"Alright I leave it to you, mom and the ladies to plan the wedding but be ready to add one more to the group." Ichigo said.
"Really. Who?" Isshin asked.
"Tatsuki. She has always had feelings for me but she has never said anything." Ichigo said.
"You mean you knew and didn't say anything." Isshin said.
"Yeah dad. I knew. I didn't say anything because I didn't want her to feel like I was forcing her you and mom did raise me to be a gentleman after all." Ichigo said. Isshin smiled and said, "Alright son but don't wait too long."
The rest of the night went off without a hitch the Ishida's in their special gigai's left to go back to Ryuken's place and Ichigo decided to turn in for the evening.
Ichigo's Bedroom 9:45 p.m.
"Ichigo why haven't you made a move on Soifon, Orihime, Uzume, Unohana and myself yet? I mean you've already done so with Tia, Nelliel, Lisa and Yoruichi the rest of us are feeling left out." Rukia said.
"I will answer your question and then we are all going to sleep. I have not made a move on you Rukia because since you are technically the daughter of the Soul King by association with your sister and sister to Byakuya by Marriage through Hisana, the Soul King, Byakuya and Hisana would skin me alive if they found out. I also figured that the Kasumioji, Yamamoto and Fon Families would frown upon that if I did anything with Soifon, Uzume and Orihime. They probably would not be bothered to much were Unohana is concerned because she has probably had multiple lovers before and if it didn't bother her it wouldn't bother them, but she is not here right now. As far as Yoruichi, Tia, Nelliel, and Lisa are concerned, they made their own move I just went with it. I enjoyed it as much as they did." Ichigo said licking his lips. "Now it has been a very long and tiring day so I will see all you in the morning." Ichigo said as he gave them each a good night kiss and went to sleep.
The next morning Ichigo woke up early, removed himself from the clutches of the women he loved and went downstairs to start breakfast. This was something that Yuzu normally did but he wanted to surprise them all with breakfast that morning. He had already decided that he was going to make French toast with scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and assorted fruits with orange juice and coffee for those who wanted it.
The noise of him in his new kitchen woke his parents up soon followed by his sisters and then Yoruichi, Lisa, Tia, and Nelliel.
"What are you doing up so early Ichi?" Nell asked.
"I just woke up early and decided to cook breakfast for once to give mom and Yuzu a break." Ichigo replied.
"So what are we having Ichi-nii?" Karin asked.
"I thought I'd make your favorite from when you two were little. French Toast exactly how mom always made it." He said with a smile.
Twenty minutes went by and the sun was just starting to peek through the kitchen window when the delicious smell woke up the other residents of the house all of whom made a beeline for the kitchen.
"Ichigo what are you doing?" Rukia asked.
"Cooking breakfast for everyone what's it look like?" Ichigo replied.
"Wait you can cook? Soifon asked.
"Of course. When Yuzu and Karin were little, I always helped mom out in the kitchen and she taught me how to cook because they were too little to learn at the time. I was always the one who helped her out, and when she was working in the clinic as a nurse it was dad and I who did the cooking, and when neither of them were around, I always did the cooking. When Yuzu and Karin were old enough to hold a knife properly, they both expressed an interest in learning to cook so I started teaching them everything mom taught me and when she died, they kind of took over the cooking duties so I thought I'd start paying it forward." Ichigo said.
Yuzu and Karin promptly came over and jumped right into the cooking of breakfast and Ichigo just hoisted them up by them waist and said, "Oh no you don't you two are going to sit at the table and do nothing except drink your juice and wait." Giving his two adorable little sisters a hug and a kiss before going back to finish making breakfast.
A few minutes later, he was finished. He set a plate down in front each person, each plate had two slices of French toast on brioche style bread with maple syrup, two slices of crispy bacon, a generous helping of scrambled eggs with assorted fruits in small bowl, and juice or coffee for the adults.
Isshin, Masaki, and the twins took a bite of their breakfast first Karin and yuzu were in heaven, as it tasted exactly like they remembered. The other ladies in the room were looking strangely at the breakfast that had been prepared for them until they heard Rukia and Orihime squeal in delight. "Ichigo this is so good you really are a good cook." Rukia and Orihime muttered as they stuffed their faces.
Based on that recommendation the rest of the women sitting at the table tried it as well and were genuinely surprised with the taste and the simplicity of the meal itself. "Ichigo what is this sweet brown liquid on the bread?" Lisa asked.
"That Lisa is Maple Syrup it is harvested from maple trees and refined into that liquid, it has a real sweet taste and is really good." Ichigo replied.
"Hmm. Never new something from a tree could taste so good." Lisa said.
Once breakfast was over Ichigo and Orihime got dressed and left for school stopping by Tatsuki's place to pick her up on the way. "Ichigo what's the deal with the car did you steel it?" Tatsuki asked.
"No Tatsuki it turns out all that time I was a substitute soul reaper I was being paid and didn't know it, apparently it's quite lucrative." Ichigo replied.
"Wait a minute you're saying this car is yours?" Tatsuki asked.
"Yep. Along with a Cadillac Escalade ESV, and a black Dodge Challenger SRT 8 Hellcat, I even bought my own house." Ichigo replied.
The rest of the week was pretty much like that. Every day he would show up in a different car and would get looks of jealousy every time.
The last day the day before Kurosuchi's execution he went home packed a bag with two days' worth of cloths and got ready to leave to go to the soul society now all he was doing was waiting for his uncle cousin and Tatsuki to show up so they could leave. Ichigo decided to call Tessai while he waited for Ryuken, Uryu and Tatsuki; he wanted a barrier set up while he was gone because he had been detecting some very strange reiatsu signatures lately and he wanted his home protected while he was away.
"If you don't mind my asking why the sudden interest in a protective barrier for your home, we have no enemies to worry about so why now?" Tessai asked after setting up the barrier.
"Well I've been detecting some strange reiatsu signatures lately and they are neither soul reaper nor hollow so I decided to err on the side of caution for my own piece of mind." Ichigo said.
"Have you informed the other captains about this yet?" Tessai asked.
"Not Yet. That is why we are leaving a few hours ahead of schedule so I can do just that also I have something else to discuss with the old man. I would appreciate it if you would stay here till we return besides Yuzu and Karin have taken a liking to you and consider you a friend and so do I." Ichigo said.
"It would be my pleasure Ichigo." Tessai said as Ryuken, Uryu and Tatsuki walked in.
"Alright time to go kick some ass." Ichigo said as he created the senkaimon to the noble plain and he, his fiancés, Ryuken, Uryu and Tatsuki left for the Soul Society.
Flashback 1 day ago on the roof of Karakura High
"Ichigo we're here what did you want to talk about?" Tatsuki said
Ichigo, Orihime, Uryu and Chad turned around and saw Tatsuki, Keigo, Mahana, Chizuru, Mizuiro, Ryo, and Michiro staring at him waiting for an explanation.
"It's time I came clean to you guys. All those times I was absent or came to school with bruises was from fighting but not from fighting bullies and delinquents, it was from fighting monsters called hollows." Ichigo said
"What are hollows?" Tatsuki asked.
"When a human dies if they have things left uncompleted in this life or have an attachment to something and wallow in despair they become a hollow doomed to forever wander the world of the living eating the souls of living humans killing them in the process. I am telling you this now because recently some of you woke up in the Soul Society are were witness to a large battle of which I was apart and you were exposed to my reiatsu as a result. I believe that some or all of you may start to develop powers of your own if you have not already. If that happens your only choices are to become soul reapers and learn to control those powers like I did or live with the knowledge that every day from now until you leave this world you will put everyone you care about at risk of having a hollow pay them a visit." Ichigo said
"Can you prove anything you say as being true?" Mahana asked
"Yes I can." Ichigo said as took out his cell phone and called Kisuke after making that there were no hollows in the area.
"Kisuke can you give me a spatial freeze around Karakura High?" Ichigo asked
"Certainly Ichigo but why?" Kisuke asked
"Because I'm in the process of telling my friends the truth about what's been so they will be better prepared for anything in the future." Ichigo said
"Very well Ichigo your spatial freeze is now active but I can only keep it active for five maybe ten minutes before central 46 has a kitten." Kisuke said
"That is more than enough time thanks Kisuke." He said as he swallowed a soul pill and ejected his soul from his gigai. All of his friends were clearly in shock at what they were looking at. There stood Ichigo in a black shihakusho with a white captain haori with a dark crimson interior lining. A black and white blade on his back and two on his left side, one was a short sword with a hexagonal guard and a purple wrapped hilt, and the other was a Japanese style tanto with an oval shaped guard and a light blueish gray wrapped hilt.
"I am the captain of the new squad 14 also known as the s.o.f. or Soul Society Special Operations Force it is one of two covert ops units in the 14 Court Guard Squads. In times of war, we handle enemies that Soul Society can't take on by themselves and in peace time our primary responsibilities would be recon and Intel." Ichigo said as he got back into his body.
"Ichigo why would we have to become soul reapers?" Keigo asked
"Well for one thing some of you are already starting to show signs of your own budding spiritual powers this is including yourself, Tatsuki, Chizuru and I can sense very low amounts of spiritual energy in the rest of you that is steadily growing not enough to draw hollows to yet but it's there. I didn't say that it would happen right away, I'm not callous enough to uproot you and take you by force come on you guys know me I would never do that to you all I said was it could happen and if it did you all would have some hard choices to make. However, it may never happen but I just wanted to let you guys know ahead of time so you wouldn't get blindsided with it. I kept you guys in the dark about my soul reaper activities before because I thought I was protecting you and instead it came close to getting all of you hurt or worse on more than one occasion. I cannot continue to keep such secrets from you; each of you is a friend of mine and as such has the right to know exactly what has been going on. That said if any of you start to notice any strange occurrence's that begin to happen around you like an influx of energy that you didn't previously have or the ability to project and detect spiritual energy let me know so we can get you tested or if you some of you feel more comfortable call Orihime." Ichigo said giving them his contact information.
"Ichigo, I've already discovered some of those things in myself not much mind you but enough for me to notice." Tatsuki said
"Then tomorrow after school you'll be coming with me to the Soul Society to get yourself tested that and see what soul reaper combat is really like." Ichigo said
"What do you mean?" Keigo asked
"Well there was a captain that used humans as test subjects and he killed a lot of them including my grandfather. He is being executed tomorrow but he will be given a chance to fight for what remains of his pathetic life in a trial by combat. You are all welcome to go to my place, and watch it with my family, and if any of you have, any questions concerning soul reapers feel free to ask my parents they will be more than happy to answer your questions. Here this card has my address on it and will allow you entry through the barrier, just make sure you don't' lose it." Ichigo said
"Now I really want to go." Tatsuki said with a smirk
After he was finished with his conversation they all left and went back to class.
Flashback end
Soul Society Squad 1 Barracks Head Captain Yamamoto's Office
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"ENTER!" A voice from inside commanded as Ichigo his family and Tatsuki walked
"Ah Ichigo your early we weren't expecting you for at least another twelve hours." Head captain Yamamoto said. "What's wrong Ichigo-Kun?" Shunsui asked taking note of the look of uncertainty on Ichigo's face.
"I apologize sir but I am early for two reasons. The first is to inform you that I need you to call a brief captains meeting before the execution I have something I need to report. While it is nothing major I hope; I need to make all of you aware of it. "I could extend an invitation to Lady Yamada as well if that would help." Shunsui said. Ichigo nodded in reply. "Very well Captain Shiba and what is your second reason?" Yamamoto asked.
"The second reason is I wanted to introduce you to this beautiful young woman standing behind me, her name is Tatsuki Arisawa she is a very good friend of mine from my childhood. She has brought it to my attention after I came clean and told her and my other friends the truth about my soul reaper activities that she was exposed to my reiatsu both before and during my fight with Aizen and has started to develop powers of her own. I believe it would be wise of us to test her and teach her the ways of the soul reaper and how to control her powers so that she and those around her aren't put at undo risk from hollows." Ichigo said.
"A wise precaution. Very well she will be tested but we will also test her family as well chances are that if being exposed to your out of control reiatsu awaked her dormant powers it is likely that exposure to her own awakened the dormant powers of the rest of her family as well. I will also call a captains meeting right away so we may address your other concerns and send Captain Kyoraku to C46 to request that Lady Yamada attend as well." Yamamoto said, "And Ms. Arisawa welcome to the Soul Society"
"Thank you sir." Tatsuki responded with a bow, which earned her a smile from the old man.
ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ALL CAPTAINS REPORT FOR AN IMMEDIATE CAPTAINS MEETING! I REPEAT! ALL CAPTAINS REPORT FOR AN IMMEDIATE CAPTAINS MEETING!
Just then, Captain Kyoraku arrived in the Central 46 council chambers. "Forgive the intrusion but I have a request for Lady Noriko Yamada." Captain Kyoraku said.
"I am here what is your message?" she asked.
"I would ask that you join us in the captains meeting." Captain Kyoraku said.
"You requested this well it can't be too serious then." She replied.
"No ma'am." Shunsui replied. Ichigo is here and said he had something to report. He did not think it was too serious but wanted to report it anyway. I suggested that since he knows you personally and trusts you that you attend the meeting as a representative of Central 46." Kyoraku replied.
"Very well I am on my way." She replied as she disappeared in a flash of shunpo
The captains along with Lady Yamada all arrived and the meeting started with a bang of Yamamoto's cane. "This meeting will come to order!" he said, "Ichigo you have the floor." "Thank you sir." Ichigo replied.
"Lately I have been picking up some very faint energy pulses in Karakura Town that are unlike any energy I've ever felt." Ichigo said.
"What kind of energy pulses?" Captain Kuchiki asked.
"I don't know Byakuya. I wish I could describe it to you but never having felt anything like this before I have no basis to form a comparison. However, I can tell you this they are neither human, Quincy, soul reaper, hollow, and are very faint, or the individuals creating them are doing a crappy job at suppressing their energy signature. There is one other possibility that I am reluctant to bring up." Ichigo said
"Which is?" Squad 2 Captain Yukiko Shihoin asked.
"That the individuals in question are deliberately not hiding their energy signature in order to start another conflict or to let us know that they've already started one and have chosen not to attack yet. If that is indeed the case I recommend that Seireitei go on immediate lock down or at the very least double the amount of patrols around the perimeter and double the guard in all sensitive areas with in the Seireitei just in case." Ichigo said
"A sensible precaution Ichigo." Yoruichi said.
"I am sorry Captain Shiba I cannot justify putting Seireitei on lock down and causing a panic. However, I will follow your other recommendations as a precaution." Lady Yamada said, "Captain Shiba, you are to track down these individuals and apprehend them for questioning if possible use whatever resources you need. If that is not possible, eliminate them. Head Captain Yamamoto you will immediately double the perimeter patrols and guard postings in all sensitive areas of the Seireitei."
"Yes Lady Yamada!" Ichigo and Yamamoto said in unison.
"Ichigo I will speak to Lady Yamada about your friend Ms. Arisawa and your other friends in the living world later but for now you may escort her to Squad 12 for testing and report to the battle field in 2 hours." Yamamoto said. "Yes Sir." Ichigo replied.
Time Skip 2 hours later
Mayuri Kurosuchi was waiting on the battlefield when Ichigo, Ryuken and Uryu showed along with the remaining captains their lieutenants, all of squad 14, Central 46, and Tatsuki in a protective barrier for her own protection.
"Kisuke why am I in this thing?" Tatsuki asked.
"Because the amount of reiatsu that is about to be released could endanger your life and I know how much Ichigo cares for you and you for him even though neither one of has ever said so." Kisuke said.
The head captain banged his cane on rock he was standing on and said, "Mayuri Kurosuchi you have been accused and convicted of 3500 counts of running illegal forbidden experiments and murder and as such are to be executed in a trial by combat. You are to face Captain Ichigo Kurosaki Shiba, Ryuken Ishida, and Uryu Ishida the only living individuals we could find that your actions have affected. Begin!" Yamamoto bellowed.
Ichigo drew both Shinso and Kyoka Suigetsu as he disappeared in a burst of shunpo only to appear a few seconds later and swing Kyoka Suigetsu for his head. Kurosuchi blocked Ichigo's blade with his own and was sent flying backwards into an outcropping of rocks only to be met by Uryu and his father as they fired a combined 2400 arrows at him simultaneously which Kurosuchi barely managed to dodge.
When Kurosuchi was able to catch his breath, he began to chant the incantation for a kido spell, "Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle! Hado # 63 Raikoho!"
"Bakudo # 81, Danku!" Ichigo replied as Kurosuchi's hado was stopped only to find later that it was a distraction as Kurosuchi came up behind and thrust his blade through Ichigo's back and out his chest but this was something that Ichigo was expecting as all that was left on Kurosuchi blade was Ichigo's captains haori. Kurosuchi was standing there confused when he felt the sharp sting of a blade slicing through his back only to turn around and see Ichigo standing there with a grin saying "Black ops step technique 3rd of the 4 maples: Utsuseme."
Kurosuchi then felt the sting of two Heilig Pfeil one in each arm curtesy of Uryu and Ryuken.
Kurosuchi flexed his reiatsu, destroyed the arrows smirking at the shocked looks on both Quincy's faces and said, "What did you simpletons expect I've researched and studied the Quincy for years, surly you didn't think that I wouldn't have discovered a way to destroy your precious arrows." As he laughed at them mocking both them and their heritage this infuriated all three of his combatant's, "But alas I've had enough of you foolish mongrels time to end you." Kurosuchi said.
"Bankai! Tear off, Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo!" Mayuri said
"Heh! You call that a Bankai? Either way I've been waiting the whole fight for you to do that!" Ichigo exclaimed laughing at Kurosuchi.
"And why is that Mongrel?" Kurosuchi asked
"Because I get to do this Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu." Ichigo said
Just then all anybody heard was the sound of glass shattering, and then everyone saw what Ichigo's true objective was as they saw Kurosuchi's bankai get destroyed by Uryu and Ryuken each one holding a broad sword made from reishi that they used to hack Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo to pieces.
"Now since that is done and the Ishida's got their licks in it's my turn." Ichigo said as he wordlessly released Shinso into Kurosuchi's chest. "You know I've been waiting to tell you this for a while now Kurosuchi, Shinso isn't the fastest Zanpaktou that honor goes Soifon's Suzumebachi. He's not even the strongest again that honor goes to Ryujin Jakka but you know what he is really proficient in?" Ichigo asked as he waited for an answer.
"No." Kurosuchi said clutching his chest.
"He is the strongest poison type Zanpaktou there is." Ichigo said with pride as the on lookers watched in shock. "Oh sure your shikai can cut off signals to the limbs and induce great pain, and your bankai has a poison that could kill you just by breathing in its poison. However, my Shinso makes that blade in your hand look like a wooden stick by comparison. You see this missing piece in the blade?" Ichigo said as he points to it.
He then pointed to Mayuri and said, "I left it inside you that is my Shikai's special ability to deposit a piece of itself inside the body of another. You see Mayuri inside the blade there is an extremely powerful poison that breaks the body at both the cellular and molecular level the instant it is released but enough of this, time for me to show you how to really kill someone on second thought you'll be dead before your brain has time to register anything." Ichigo said
Mayuri just rushed him with his shikai poised to strike Ichigo's heart.
Ichigo just moved, as Mayuri ran past him and he said, "Bankai. Kill him, Kami Shini No Yari."
There was a bright blue flash as Mayuri's chest exploded with a gaping hole and the deed was done. Ichigo sealed Kami Shini No Yari, sheathed Shinso, and promptly went over to Kurosuchi's dead body. Using his mastery of the hogyoku created a burnt copy of his own arm out of reishi laid it a top Kurosuchi's dead body walked away and said, "Hado #96 Itto kaso as Kurosuchi's body was engulfed in a massive crimson colored explosion.
