Chapter 25: Brotherly Love
It was a normal morning in Karakura Town, the sun was shining, sprits roamed the streets and…
"Good morning Ichigo!"
Isshin Kurosaki just assaulted his son while he was waking up.
"Looks like he's up." Said Karin as the girls of the house were already up.
And so everyone was up for breakfast.
"Ichigo we need to talk about something after school." Said Karin.
Ichigo looked at his younger sister, he knew what she wanted to talk about. Considering the two haven't really talked since last time.
"I really think you should talk." Said Rukia.
Ichigo began to sweat, he slowly turned to his partner when it came to Soul Reapers.
"Those two talked about it…" said Ichigo, knowing he was stuck.
Sometime later, Ichigo and Rukia walked to school together…
"So… what will you do if I don't talk to my sister?" asked Ichigo.
"You know that girl Haruhi?" asked Rukia.
Ichigo sweat dropped, "You mean that girl who's been harassing Mr. Hat and Clogs… right?" he asked.
"I'll tell her you can see ghosts." Said Rukia, "Then she won't just be harassing Urahara."
"You wouldn't dare…" muttered Ichigo.
"Just talk to your sisters." Said Rukia.
"You mean Yuzu too?" asked Ichigo.
Rukia nodded…
Ichigo sweat dropped, talking to Karin was easy, telling Yuzu was a completely different story.
"Is there any way this can get worse?" thought Ichigo.
Unfortunately much of the day at school, Tatsuki was glaring at him.
"Why is she keep glaring at me?" thought Ichigo.
Nearby on the roof of the school, Sailor Lethe and Sailor Mnemosyne were looking at some sort of devise.
"What is that?" asked Sailor Mnemosyne.
"It's a device that Sailor Pewter Fox used, it measures a normal human's power levels…" said Sailor Lethe.
That's when the devise began to beep out of control.
"What's going on?" asked Sailor Mnemosyne.
"I have no idea." Said Sailor Lethe who then smirked evilly, "It must mean that there is a human in this school who's abilities, strengths even hidden powers go beyond that of anything."
"Is that even possible?" asked Sailor Mnemosyne.
"I don't know… but who ever this person is… they will make an unstoppable phage." Said Sailor Lethe.
After school, Ichigo began what seemed like a long uncomfortable walk home… as Tatsuki and Orihime had joined them.
"It's either this or that weird girl." Thought Ichigo twitching slightly.
That's when they arrived at the family clinic. Ichigo noticed the rather nice car out front. But he shrugged it off.
"I'm home." Said Ichigo… waiting for the inevitable…, which never happen. He saw Usagi and Mamoru talking to Isshin.
"Thank you so much for taking care of Luna when I was away." Said Usagi giving Isshin a polite bow.
"It was no problem." Said Isshin.
"So your Luna's owner." Said Ichigo alerting the three to his presence.
"Ichigo!" yelled Isshin.
That's when Isshin used dynamic entry on Ichigo.
Both Usagi and Mamoru sweat dropped at the sight.
"I thought you were joking when you said he did that." Said Usagi.
"Well… we weren't." said Tatsuki.
Both of Usagi and Mamoru sweat dropped.
"Well… we should get going." Said Usagi.
"That's right." Said Mamoru.
Both of them left with and were about to get into Mamoru's car… that's when Mamoru saw something… or someone.
"It's them." Thought Mamoru.
That's when Usagi and Luna saw them too.
"What are they doing here?" thought Usagi.
The two of them watched the two on the nearby roof realizing that whoever it was…. Didn't notice them.
"They don't seem to notice us." Said Luna.
"We need to keep an eye on them" said Mamoru.
Luna and Usagi nodded.
After Ichigo managed to fight off his dead, everyone met in his sister's room. It was deathly silent.
"So… what does everyone want to talk about?" asked Ichigo.
"I think you know." Said Karin, "Especially after that last conversation."
Ichigo flinched when she referred to the last conversation… which ended with him leaving his body and jumping out the window… to his deference a Hollow was attacking… that's when he remembered his reason.
"If you get involved then you'll be in danger." He said.
"Please don't feed us that line." Said Tatsuki.
"I help take down weaker hollows." Said Karin, "Just do you can take down the bigger ones."
"You fight Hollows?" asked Ichigo with a sweat drop.
"I tried to tell you that but you just had to jump out the window!" yelled Karin.
"I had a very good reason to jump out the window when I did…" muttered Ichigo.
"Oh really, what?" asked Karin.
But before Ichigo could answer a the window shattered…
"Damn it…" muttered Ichigo thinking it was something… but was shocked to see it was a pair of pink haired twins…. Sailor Mnemosyne and Sailor Lethe.
"So it's the boy who's the one who's off the charts." Said Sailor Lethe.
"What are we going to do with the others?" asked Sailor Mnemosyne.
Sailor Lethe sighed and knew what Sailor Mnemosyne meant by that.
"We'll leave be… don't worry." Said Sailor Lethe.
Ichigo grabbed his Substitute Soul Reaper Badge… but it was too late… Sailor Lethe shot him with the golden ball turning him into a Phage.
"Sailor Strawberry!" said the Phage that was once Ichigo… having the lamest name yet for a phage.
"He's an incredibly powerful phage… yet he has that name?" asked Sailor Lethe.
"It's kind of funny." Giggled Sailor Mnemosyne.
"Ichigo!" cried Yuzu.
"With his inner hollow and the face he can use Bankai… Ichigo isn't going to be an easy Phage to fight." Thought Rukia.
"Well say good bye to you friend girls…" said Sailor Lethe.
The two animates jumped out of the window followed by Sailor Strawberry.
"Rukia… joist how powerful is Ichigo?" asked Karin.
Rukia sweat dropped, "I don't know myself…" she said.
That's when they heard a yell.
"What are you doing here already!"
They looked outside the window and saw Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon facing against the three.
"Looks like we should join in." said Tatsuki.
The others in the room nodded.
"Eris Cosmic Power!" said Orihime.
"Umbriel Star Power!" said Tatsuki.
"Elara Star Power!" said Rukia.
"Oberon Star Power!" said Karin.
"Titania Star Power!" said Yuzu.
"Make-up!" said all of them.
That's when they jump out of the windows and joined the fight.
"That Phage is Ichigo, isn't it?" asked Sailor Moon.
The 5 that just joined nodded.
"I see." Said Sailor Moon.
That's when the other Senshi arrived.
"That was fast." Said Sailor Elara with a sweat drop.
"This Phage is really powerful. There's no way you can stop him." Said Sailor Lethe.
"Is that true?" asked Sailor Sun.
Sailor Juliet pulled out both her computer and screen.
"His Power is extraordinarily high." Said Sailor Juliet.
"Is it over 9,000?" asked Sailor Haumea.
That's when Sailor Phobos gave her a good whack on the head.
"I can't seem to measure it." Said Sailor Juliet.
"What kind of person made this Phage?" asked Sailor Triton.
Ichigo Kurosaki." Answered Sailor Juliet.
Everyone who didn't know eye's widened.
"Is it true?" asked Sailor Larissa, "That he was able to destroy the Sokyoku?"
"No… but he did mange to stave it off." Said Sailor Elara.
"The Sokyoku?" asked Sailor Deimos.
"It was a weapon in the Soul Society used for executions." Explained Sailor Elara, "It was said that it held the power of 1 million Zanpakuto."
There was an awkward silence among the Sailor Senshi.
"How powerful is Ichigo!" everyone but Sailor Elara and Sailor Eris yelled in shock.
"I heard everything… I had no idea this kid was that powerful… either way… you're star seeds are ours." Said Sailor Lethe.
That's when Sailor Strawberry summoned what looked like a giant knife.
"He's able to summon his Zanpakuto." Said Sailor Elara.
"Everyone we need to attack now." Said Sailor Larissa.
Both Sailor Charon and Sailor Phobos sighed.
"So… do you think a power up for us is coming soon?" asked Sailor Phobos.
"I don't know." Said Sailor Charon.
"Should we?" asked Sailor Titania.
"Remember the person won't get hurt." Said Sailor Elara.
"Moon Tiara Action!"
"Sun Burning Light!"
"Haumea Page Slicer!"
"Makemake Sprit Summons!"
"Eris Flower Storm!"
""Rhea Firestorm Smash!"
"Umbriel Melee Strike!"
"Elara Snowstorm Blast!"
"Juliet Data Stream!"
"Io Tornado Vortex!"
"Deimos Gem Barrage!"
"Oberon Sphere Surprise!"
"Titania Fruit Salad Mixer!"
"Dione Book Explosion!"
"Titan Earth Shaker!"
"Ganymede Thunderstorm Crash!"
"Larissa Kido Blaster!"
"Triton Raging Torrent!"
"Pandora Blade Barrage!"
"Star Serious Laser!"
All of the attacks hit the Phage…
"Did it do anything?" asked Sailor Titania.
When the dust cleared… it was revealed… that Sailor Strawberry was still standing.
"Is that even possible?" asked Sailor Moon.
"His Power is over 9,000." Said Sailor Haumea.
That's when Sailor Strawberry shot a strange energy attack from his sword. Fortunately both Sailor Charon and Sailor Phobos got in front of the rest.
"Phobos Mirror Reflection!"
"Charon Time Reversal!"
The energy hit the two reflecting attacks and bounced back towards him… but once again the attack did nothing.
"I have an idea…" said Sailor Eris, "What if the three of us together use our healing attacks."
"That's a good idea." Said Sailor Moon.
"All right! Let's try it!" said Sailor Sun.
The three of them took out their wands.
"Spiral Heart Moon Healing!"
"Sol Star Healing Light!"
"Eris Blossom Rejection!"
All three of the healing moves headed towards Sailor Strawberry, hit him… and…
"Beautiful!" called out the Phage turning back into the overly powerful teenaged boy.
"All it took was three healing attacks!" yelled Sailor Lethe.
"Let's just go." Said Sailor Mnemosyne.
And the two of them disappeared.
When they left the street was filled with a silence…
"Um… I have a question." Said Sailor Titania.
"What is it?" asked Sailor Moon.
"Do you think we should tell Ichigo?" asked Sailor Titania.
"But what about his safety?" asked Sailor Eris.
"He didn't tell us he was Soul Reaper to protect us." Said Sailor Titania, "And it's the same with keeping it from him to protect him… but isn't he strong enough with out us protecting him?"
"But Yuzu… he… um…" said Sailor Oberon who tried to counter her… so she turned to Sailor Elara, "A Zanpakuto… those are the sword you use right?"
"That's right." Said Sailor Elara.
Everyone became silent.
"If he's that powerful… you can't not tell him." Said Sailor Haumea.
Everyone sweat dropped… and realized the Otaku Senshi was right.
Sometime later in Ichigo's room, he woke up with a start, he noticed that his sisters, Rukia, Tatsuki and Orihime were in his room.
"What happened?" asked Ichigo
"Well… it's really complicated." Said Rukia.
"How complicated?" asked Ichigo.
"You have to promise to not call us hypocrites with what we're about to tell you." Said Tatsuki.
"Okay… OI promise I won't call you hypocrites…" muttered Ichigo.
And that's when they told him that the 5 of them were among the Sailor Senshi.
"You hypocrites! You hid this from me and you complain that you I hid the fact that I'm a Soul Reaper from you!" yelled Ichigo.
That's when Tatsuki punched him in the face.
"No it's different, Karin knew before became one and I had my suspicions too." Said Tatsuki.
"I'm the only one that was out of loop." Sighed Yuzu.
"I see…" said Ichigo rubbing his face.
That's when Ichigo realized something.
"You mean you're the ones that fought in the school that one time?" asked Ichigo.
"No only Orihime was in the fight. None of us found out we were Sailor Senshi at that point." Said Tatsuki.
"Or in my case, became one." Said Rukia.
"I take it there's more to this Sailor Senshi thing then just pretty girls in sailor uniforms fighting monsters." Said Ichigo.
Rukia nodded and began to explain the while thing about the Soul Society's ties to the Sailor Senshi.
Meanwhile in Galaxia's HQ.
"No way!" said Sailor Lethe.
"What is it?" asked Mnemosyne
"I discovered one of the things that made Sailor Strawberry so powerful." Said Sailor Lethe with an evil smirk, "I need to experiment on this…"
Sailor l Mnemosyne looked at the results… and frowned.
"This is something that should be done with a Phage… not one at all." She thought.
And so Ichigo was brought up to speed on the situation with the Sailor Senshi… after all of all people to have ties he's the only one that could defend themselves against phage in that way… But seriously… he is over powered…
