CHAPTER 11

The decision!

Ichigo didn't know what to think of this whole mess. Everyone was overreacting in his option. He was cut, yes. He was bleeding, yes. A Hollow had appeared out of nowhere and living plants had suddenly grown. The soul king had acted up and his daughter was crying while letting it snow but the most chaos was created by themselves. Ichigo had already cut down the hollow with one swift move and he had vanished. The plants had closed around him but he had somehow found a way out and had killed the hollow. A cut in the air appeared out a light that formed a body stepped out. Every captain took a defensive stance but soon bowed.

"Soul king, what do we have to thanks for your presence amount us?" The Sou-taicho asked.

"I came here to talk to god, soul of this and another world." Everyone looked confused at what he had meant. They noticed that he looked at Ichigo but didn't understand why.

"You can't let yourself be harm like this! It is dangerous for all of us if you die!" Ichigo sighed and took Yukina out of Toshiros arms to stop her crying. He was already healed through his self regeneration to.

"You don't need to tell me, but I can't do anything if I can't see the person."

"You can and just won't. You can see all live on this world however much he is invisible or has created an illusion."

'Great more to learn' Ichigo thought to himself. Then he looked at the Soul king again.

"Are you one of the spirits that were created the same way as me?" Ichigo asked suddenly and everyone looked surprised. They all couldn't follow this conservation at all, most of them. A few understood a few facts that they tried to put together, but didn't fully success and so the facts didn't bring them anything.

"Yes I am! I am surprised that you know of your existents since you are still so young!"

"I got a book with the title: 'The rules to how understand the world in a few minutes!' Ichigo said sarcastically but thought of Zangetsu. Zangetsu had merged with him completely and so wasn't there anymore. Ichigo really missed him and even his hollow. He missed their talk and babbling.

They soul king or the form smiled and then looked at the sou-taicho.

"I wish for you to protect this boy immediately!" He suddenly said.

"Wait, I have a save in this. I don't want a bodyguard to ruin my life further. Never, I will never agree to this!" Ichigo said almost yelling.

"I want at least a taicho and a fuku-taicho to protect him until he can fully control his powers." He said while ignoring Ichigos protest. Ichigo really didn't want to have a more messed up life, if it could get any worse, but he didn't dare to say that out loud. They last time he had said something like this it had become worse.

"Excuse us if we interrupt something, but to be real, I think most of us don't understand what this conversation is about" Shunsui in his easy going tone. Many of the taichos were relieved that at least someone had asked this question.

"You still don't know?" The soul king seemed surprised. He looked around confused. "God still hasn't told you about anything?"

"I was about to when I was attacked and you appeared." Ichigo huffed annoyed.

"Why are you calling Ichigo 'god'?" Is that a nickname or something?" Kenpachi asked still not taking his gaze of the soul king. Ichigo had noticed it since some time but hoped he wouldn't try. It looked like he was eager but still resisted at the moment.

"No, that is no nickname. It is his status and if you really want a good fight ask him. He is stronger than me right now!" The soul king said that none challenged and Ichigo cursed him. No he was the target of Kenpachi again just after Kenpachi had thought that he wasn't forth the time anymore because he lost his powers and all. Ichigo throw Soul king a death glare while he only seemed to smirk. It was hard to say since his body was made of light and the face wasn't really detailed.

"I still do not understand!" said Ukitake aloud. "Why is Ichigo a god as a status?"

"Ichigo can control this world if he wants to. He could make the sea split in the middle and he could make a fire wall if he wanted to like in the bible of the Christan. He is the soul of this world and can control even life and death. He could create new life forms if he wanted to and he could even color the shy forever silver if it was to his liking. He can destroy and create and give and take life. He is god, literally and he is not only the god of this world but of another as well and I think that soon other worlds will become connected to him too!" Everyones eyes had widened at soul kings description and they were all staring at Ichigo. He himself looked surprised.

"Why are you looking surprised Ichigo?" asked an annoyed Toshiro who, no one knew why, tried to get Yukina into his arms again. Ichigo took her out if his reach and avaded his approach many times so he had become annoyed. At last he gave up and handed Yukina to Toshiro. He seemed to be happy again.

"I knew some facts like controlling and stufe but I seriously didn't know that I could control the colors of this world and that other worlds will come also. I have already enough with two worlds, I don't need a third or fourth. I don't think that I can take so many children in if every mistake gives me one to take care of. It is already hard with Yukina because I just don't know what she is capable of."

"Kurosaki-san you could have told us such important thing; however I still don't see the connection to protecting Ichigo with all of this!" Everyone nodded and Soul king just shook his head.

"Ichigos well being is the thing that is holding this world still together. If Ichigo was to die it would affect both worlds and they would, you could say, self-destruct. This world had to little energy to survive and was about to break apart. Ichigo gives it through a contract part of his powers all the time and if he didn't do that the world would die. It is slowly recovering and so to survive has formed an unbreakable bound with Ichigo. It is like they are one being and so if Ichigo dies, the world will go down with him. The others will die too by the way." They were shocked even if some of them didn't show it like the others. Mayuris eyes seemed to glow and he asked:

"May I experience on him? It may help us protect and help him learn in a way!" In that second Mayuri had spoken his sentences, a image of a table with a death and dissected body overflown with blood came into their minds. Everyone screamed at the same time: "NO!" with suck forth that even far away laying parts of soul society heard it. Mayuri putted. It would have helped him in his research, he was sure of it.

Ichigo had become pale. He really didn't want that. Then a question suddenly formed in his mind and he asked:

"Why are the plants always shooting out of the ground to protect me, if it is my own body, so to say?" The Soul king smiled at him and said:

"It is like a reflex. Humans when they are being attacked and the attacks comes flying to their faces move their arms before their faces without even having real control to it. They plants shot out to protect because it is like a body reaction."

"So let me get it straight. You said that Ichigo is the earth or god, like the human called him through a contract and if he dies we will all die with him, because the earth will be destroyed, am I right so far?" Renji asked.

The soul king seemed to be pleased and said: "Yes yes, everything correct."

"Good, he is also stronger than you and can control everything, really everthing that happens and is on this world. If his body thinks we will hurt him than we will probably lose a limb or two and right now we have a child god that is from another world with us that Toshiro wants to keep!"

Everyone was surprised of what Renji was capable of. The soul king only nodded and then looked to Ichigo. Ichigo had just now taken Yukina back when she had said something. The soul king had learned to understand a bit of the language and started to laugh. It was surprising how the soul king could laugh and everyone wondered what the child had said. Ichigo looked to shocked to say it to them.

"What did the child say?" asked Byakuya with his normal voice but if you knew him enough you knew he was a bit curious.

"I can't, I really can't. It's too funny I really can't!" the soul king said between his laugher. He wipped his tears out of his eyes and looked to Ichigo again. The others looked to Ichigo too and saw how Ichigo seemed to protest but the girl made the puppy eyes. Ichigo seemed to fight an inner war and sighed. Yukina had won and everyone wanted to know what. Ichigo looked up to them and scowled.

"What?" He asked looking at them darkly.

"What did she want?" asked Yachiru out of curiousness. "Nothing, I am taking her out a bit. Don't follow me, do you understand!" Ichigo asked while glaring at them." They all nodded and Ichigo went outside.

"Let's follow him" the soul king suddenly said. "Why?" asked Rukia who suddenly just appeared in the room. "Because we will all miss something if we don't. You won't hear it again!"

They didn't say anything but nodded. They had found Ichigo in the courtyard of the first division and he seemed to struggle with himself. Then he sighed a second time and opened his mouth. They had never believed Ichigo to be such a good singer. All of soul society could hear the singing but only a few where granted to see the beautiful sight that came with it. Ichigo had changed into his god form through the singing without noticing it. The flowers started to bloom everywhere and flower petals whirled all around him. Even the other elements like water, fire and air appeared to dance around him and Yukina cheered. Then the song ended and Yukina looked thrilled and said something. Ichigo become bright red and really wanted to glare at her, but didn't. The others went to the meeting room right after the song had ended.

"What did little Yukina-chan say at the end?" asked Shunsui when they had arrived and ad took their normal positions.

The soul king grinned like a cat that beat even Ichimarus grin and asked: "Do you really want to know?"

They all nodded. Who wouldn't be curious about what the child said to make him sing and to make him go bright red.

"She said that her mommy would surely reach her daddy with this song and her daddy would come so that she would have a sibling soon."

They all stared at the soul king. "Is Ichigo a mommy and is this child his?" Yachiro asked out of nowhere.

"No of course not, I don't know ether but that little child thinks of Ichigo as her mother and that he is her father's lover or wife or something." Almost everyone started to laugh expect for a few that tried to control themsleves but failed miserable. They didn't know that Yukina always called Ichigo mommy because they couldn't understand but that was just hilarious.

Ichigo came back a few minuted later muttering something about damn childs and why their thoughts are so messed up. Yukina had already fallen asleep on his arms when the soul king said:

"I still want at least one taicho and one fukutaicho to protect him. I don't want to let this world die because we were careless!"

"If I could say something…" Unohana said. Yamamoto nodded. "I think that attack was planned and that someone tried to wound Ichigo. The hollow would have never gone through the barriers and would never come to the meeting room of all taicho and fuku-taicho to attack a soul." Everyone nodded. It was understandable to interpret that.

"What is your suggestion to that matter?" asked the sou-taicho.

"I suggest that Ichigo stays here for the time being till we know who planned it and how we can stop him or her." Unohana said calmly.

"You can't do that!" Ichigo said suddenly interrupting Unohana "Sorry Unohana, your idea is great and all, but I have school. I already missed a week and after that half a year cause of all this god business. If I miss anymore than I have to repeat the whole year. We don't know how long I need to stay here! I can't just miss everything. It would be like prison."

"I have an idea!" Shunsui suddenly said. "Why not say that he is exchanging participant. His school would be given a certificate from us at the end of the year or a letter that he stays here longer. He could attempt soul academy so to learn a bit about his abilities. His abilities are still connected to us with reiatsu in a way. With that we would train him, he could finish school and he would be out of most dangers." Everyone stared at Shunsui and considered his idea. It wasn't bad actually and they all nodded to themselves.

"So we all accept Shunsuis suggestion right?" asked Yamamoto. Everyone nodded again and looked at Ichigo. Ichigo sighed and said:

"I don't really have a say in this matter, do I?" Everyone nodded again and Ichigo sighed a second time. "Alright then, it is the best solution after all." He said with a tone of defeat.

Most of them smiled at that and the soul king suddenly said:

"With that it's settled. I hope you will protect him well, for my and your sake!" With that he disappeared and everything became quiet again. Ichigo seemed to be in deep thoughts for a minute before he said:

"And what are we going to do with Yukina? She can't come to soul academy I presume."

_!_!_!_!_

Hope you like it! The character of soul king somehow got really weird but I just couldn't stop myself. It was just too funny to make him like this.

Some of the text just wouldn't stay underlined. Sorry for that. The text that is italic and some parts underlined is the text that is said from the soul god!
