Hawk's Story: Bleach

Chapter 28

Ichigo was given intructions on how call. They were annoying and confusing, but Ichigo figured it out. "You will now be connected to Ginjo." The phone said.

"Hello Ichigo." Ginjo said

"You know you really made this a pain in the ass." Ichigo said.

"If it was easy, I'd end up with my own troubles." Ginjo said.

"I have some questions." Ichigo said.

"I expected as much. How about we meet? Eight o'clock tomorrow. At Chouhara, Naruki City, Block 7-1 in front of the dirty apartment building." Ginjo said.

"Fine, see you then." Ichigo said. He hung up and headed home.

Hawk was concerned. This man knew too much and had high Spiritual Awareness. Hawk would have to be very careful around this man.

The next day came and Ichigo was headed to the meeting spot. Hawk decided to 'accidently' run into him. "Hey punk, where are you going at this hour?" Hawk asked.

"None of your business. What are you doing?" Ichigo asked back.

"Getting food. Human World food is so interesting." Hawk said, holding up a bag.

"You're definately a Shinigami. I'll see you at school tomorrow." Ichigo said, beginning to walk away.

"Ichigo." Hawk said. Ichigo stopped. "Don't do anything too dangerous."

Ichigo went to say something, but Hawk was gone. Ichigo continued to the meeting spot until he arrived at a dirty apartment building. Hawk followed via rooftops. He supressed his Spirit Energy so the man named Ginjo wouldn't notice him. "You're five mnutes early." Ginjo said to Ichigo.

"No, I'm three minutes early." Ichigo said.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Ginjo asked.

"My friend was attacked." Ichigo said.

"So?" Ginjo said.

"I want your help. And no I don't trust you yet. You knew about me anf my father. I'm guessing you're not a normal human." Ichigo said.

"Is that so. I wonder." Ginjo said.

"Remember I don't trust you, I just don't have anyone-" Ichigo said before getting interrupted.

"To count on, is that right?" Ginjo asked.

They went inside the building and enter an elevator. They reached the third floor. "Slide your card in." Ginjo told him. Ichigo did and the door opened. There were three people in the room. A man standing behind the bar, a woman sitting on the couch and a young boy sitting on the table. Hawk had taken out the mirror Kisuke gave him and was watching everything unfold. "Now before I get to the main topic, let me tell you of our purpose." Ginjo said.

"Purpose?" Ichigo asked.

"Yes, the purpose for bringing you here." Ginjo said. "Our Purpose is to restore your Shinigami powers."

Elsewhere a young woman and a tall man were headed for the dirty apartment building. "I cannot believe this! How could you fall asleep in a place like that!" The woman said.

"Sorry." The man said.

"Don't give me that! Ginjo sent me to find you when he should have came himself!" The woman continued to yell. The man didn't reply. "Hey say something! You must be thinking something!"

"No, I was just thinking how amazing it is that you can keep talking to yourself." The man said.

"Fuck you!" The woman shouted.

Ichigo and Hawk stood in shock. "You heard me right? We want to give you your Shinigami powers back." Ginjo said.

Ichigo got mad. "How are you going to give them back?" Ichigo growled. He became angrier. "Why would you want to do that? For what purpose? Just who are you people?" Ichigo shouted, grabbing Ginjo by the shirt.

Ginjo grabbed Ichigo's arm. "Sit down, I'll explain everything." Ginjo said. They sat down and Ichigo looked at Ginjo in anger. "To answer the question on your mind, yes we are humans. We were just born with a special ability." Ginjo said. He put his hand above his glass and levitated the liquid out of it and into his mouth. "You see our power is pulling the souls out of items. We can munipulate these objects to increase our physical abilities. We can even change objects forms." Ginjo took his neckless off and it transformed into a large sword. "We call our ability Fullbring."

The girl from earlier burst through the door. "I'm back." She said angrily.

"Ah Riruka, you're back early. Did you find him?" Ginjo asked.

"Yeah I found him!" Riruka yelled. She continued yelling about random things.

"Yeah I don't care." Ginjo said.

"Who is that?" Ichigo asked.

"That Riruka, she's an ally." Ginjo said.

"Who's sitting there?" Riruka asked.

"Put on your glasses and then you'd see. But I'll introduce you later just sit down." Ginjo said.

"Hey you big idiot get in here." Riruka shouted to the man she was with.

"No way." Ichigo said. The man who just walked in was...Chad.

"Ichigo?" Chad questioned.

"Why the hell are you here? You don't even come to school! Where have you been?" Ichigo shouted.

"Wow there's a surprise." Hawk said, looking into the mirror.

"Calm down Ichigo." Ginjo said.

"Screw you! Explain this and depending on your answer-" Ichigo was interrupted again.

"I said calm down. You'll understand if you just listen." Ginjo said. "Chad you too."

Riruka began to shout again but Ginjo ignored her. Then she asked a actual question. "Is this Ichigo the Ichigo Kurosaki we've been looking for?"

"I'll tell you later. Let's just get down to business." Ginjo said. Everyone sat down and Ginjo explained that the Fullbringers were affected by Hollows before they were born. He explained that their abilities are the opposite of their true selves. He then said that a half human half Shinigami like Ichigo could take their powers from them and return them to normal humans. "So that's why we need you to regain your powers." Ginjo said.

"Fine. Help me get my powers back." Ichigo said.

"Wait a second. I'm not helping someone I can't even see." Riruka said. She took out a flashlight and shined it on Ichigo. She was taken back for a second. "Oh my god! He's super hot!" She thought to herself. She began to blush heavily.

"Are you alright?" Ichigo asked.

"No, I'm not." She answered.

The next day Ichigo returned to he dirty apartment like Ginjo told him to. Hawk sat on the roof across the street watching through his mirror. "You showed up like a good boy." Ginjo said.

"Shut up. Why am I here?" Ichigo asked.

"To start your training." Ginjo said. This confused Ichigo and intrigued Hawk.

"What training?" Ichigo asked.

"To get your Shinigami powers back." Ginjo said.

Riruka kicked in the door and walked in with a doll house. "This is where you'll be training." She said placing the doll house down.

"What?" Ichigo asked.

"My Fullbringer is called Doll House. I can bring anthing or anyone in and out of it. Now you may enter." Riruka said. Ichigo was going to say something, but he was sucked into the doll house. Hawk wasn't able to see Ichigo after that. "Just beat him and you pass the training. It should be easy if you use Fullbringer." Riruka said. Hawk wasn't sure what she was talking about. Hawk ignored the rest of what people were saying and waited for Ichigo to come out of the Doll House. After about half an hour Ichigo reappeared from the doll house, that is after Riruka sneezed in it. Ichigo was covered in snot and was holding his Substitute Shinigami Badge. The badge was different now. Black Spirit energy had taken the form of a Buddist Swastika. The energy disappeard and Ichigo stuck the badge in his pocket.

"Do you want a towel?" Ginjo asked.

"No I want to sit here and soak in it! What do you think?" Ichigo shouted. Ginjo got him a towel and Ichigo dried off.

"Why don't you head home." Ginjo said.

"I thought I was gonna stay here." Ichigo said.

"We don't want you here!" Riruka shouted.

"You should rest at home. We'll start again in a couple days." Ginjo said.

"Okay." Ichigo said.

Hawk knew his job was done for the day, but he was bored and not tired. So he decided to bother Ichigo. Hawk jumped down to the street and put on his Gigai. He waited for Ichigo and would pretend to be lost. Ichigo and Chad walked out of the dirty apartment and noticed Hawk standing at the corner of the street with his back to them. "Hawk, is that you?" Ichigo asked.

"Oh hey." Hawk greeted.

"Hawk why are you back in the World of the Living?" Chad asked a little surprised.

"Oh yeah, you haven't been in school so you don't know." Ichigo said.

"I'm stalking Ichigo." Hawk said.

"Stop telling people that!" Ichigo shouted. "He's just on a scouting mission to make sure everythings fine in town." He explained.

"That's right." Hawk said.

"So why are you here?" Ichigo asked.

"I'm lost." Hawk said.

"You're an idiot." Ichigo said.

"Well excuse me for not living here." Hawk said.

"Just follow me back to my house. You know how to get home from there." Ichigo said.

They headed for Ichigo's house. Hawk was walking backwards talking to them. Really they just wanted him to shut up. Then Hawk started talking about the Royal Guard incident, which really interested them. "Then when I got back I asked Soi Fon to marry me." Hawk said.

"Are you serious? Wow congraduations." Chad said.

"Thank you." Hawk said with a big stupid grin.

That's when Hawk and Chad felt Orihime's Spiritual Pressure spike. Hawk and Chad looked at each other. "We've got to hurry!" Chad said.

"Right." Hawk said back.

"What's going on?" Ichigo asked.

"Somethings wrong with Orihime." Chad said.

They took off running towards her house. They rounded the corner and ran up her stairs. She was kneeling in front of her front door. "Orihime!" Ichigo shouted.

"Ichigo, Chad, Hawk, what are you doing here?" Orihime asked.

"Are you okay?" Chad asked.

"Yeah why?" Orihime asked nervously.

"Because we felt your Spiritual Pressure change. Who was here?" Chad asked.

"Oh just a friend." Orihime lied.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Ichigo asked.

"Yes of course." Orihime said.

"Okay, then I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow." Ichigo said.

They left for Ichigo's house still concerned about Orihime. Chad left them when they reached his street. When they arrived Hawk took off his Gigai and jumped onto the roof. Ichigo didn't go inside instead he ran back to the dirty apartment. He took the elevator up and went inside. "Ichigo, why are you back?" Ginjo asked.

Hawk was watching fro his mirror again.

"Something happened to my friend and I think it's the guy who attack Ishida." Ichigo said.

"Ginjo do you think it's him?" Jackie asked.

"Yeah, it's Tsukishima." Ginjo said.
