A slight change, a single moment too long, leads to "Old man Zangetsu" not being the primary spirit in charge of Ichigo's powers. Instead, his true Soul Reaper powers were allowed to grow and flourish, enhanced by the antithesis of the Quincy, being allowed greater control over Ichigo's mentality. Small Harem.

After approaching him she becomes his teacher, only for them both to become caught in the crosshairs of Aizen AND the Soul Society! IchigoXHalibel!

A single spark can ignite the greatest change. When the two parts of his soul acted together and saved his mother, Ichigo's life was changed forever. He was then trained for war, or destiny. Stronger characters, all powers Ichigo, Ichigo/Harem, manga spoilers. I do not own Bleach. If I did, Isshin wouldn't have kept stuff from Ichigo.

Ichigo Kurosaki has died. His soul, consumed by a hollow. This is an alternate storyline, where the soul reaper we know never existed in the first place. Both the consequences of that and the existence of such a strong soul as Ichigo's in a different place brings about many changes.

What if said Arrancar defiled Masaki when she couldn't defend herself, how would Ichigo's life, how would his powers, how would his relationships change? New race Ichigo. Poll for pairing. OCs and arcs accepted.

"If you use this technique, you will lose all your Shinigami powers... Farewell, Ichigo." Ichigo has said goodbye too many times; he doesn't want to do it again. Rated M so I can do/say whatever. Starts at the final fight with Aizen. Canon-divergent AU with character death. IchiRuki, because they've been through too much together to ever be apart again. Fuck canon IchiHime

Things did not turn out well at the last second, so of course Urahara has a reset button. Suddenly, Ichigo is once again a nine year old boy watching his mother get attacked by a hollow. My own take on a Bleach time travel fic.

"Abandon your fear Ichigo, face forward. Move forward and never stop. Retreat and you will age, hesitate...and you will die. Together, we will ascend and tear the very heavens asunder." With a better connection to his zanpakuto than we have seen before, Ichigo will finally fully realize his vast potential. BAMF Ichigo

We all know that Ichigo Kurosaki was a human who became a Shinigami, but what would happen if he was always a Shinigami when the events of bleach happened, perhaps an altered story. Very minor crossover with Sakura Wars. A/U A/T. Contains incest in later parts.

Ichigo was defeated by Byakuya and offered training from Urahara. However, things didn't go as planed and Ichigo was turned into a Vasto Lorde hollow before being hunted down by the man he thought he could trust.

Ichigo dies at a young age, becoming a hollow and spending nearly eight years by himself in Hueco Mundo. This is until he meats a certain teal haired hollow, now he finally isn't alone anymore. Forging a bond with her and making even more friends along the way, but life is never that simple.

Ichigo's use of the Final Getsuga Tensho changes his life, but not in the way he expected.

"Spiritual pressure increases the fastest when the soul is in danger of termination." Urahara Kisuke. So why did nothing change for the terrified orange haired boy who's whole world died in front of him? In this story; it did. Now, Ichigo Kurosaki, a being different to any the Shinigami have met before, is heading to the Soul Society.

Different actions, different consequences, instead of Final Getsuga Tenshou, Zangetsu and Ichigo's hollow side decided to fully merge with Ichigo to defeat Aizen, but the act also sent Ichigo back in time before he rescued Rukia, what will Ichigo do now?

It has been ten years since Ichigo Kurosaki lost his powers. 9 years since he had ran away from home to protect his family, 9 years since he had adopted the persona of Mugetsu to hide from everyone he knew, whilst he may not have any powers that didn't mean he wasn't going to protect his family. Meanwhile during these years Ichigo's only friend is a certain "Cat" that he depends on
