Hello all! Before I start my story I would like to thank you for reading and would love for you to leave any coments about it if you enjoyed it or some constructive critcism if you have any.
This story is based on the vocaloid song panda hero and uses the characters from bleach. Though this is not my first fanficition, it is the first one I am officially posting on my page.
My first important announcement: THIS IS A YAOI! So if you aren't into it, do not read! If you are good for you.
Announcement #2: This is rated M for cursing, violence, and lemon. Lots and lots of it(Just kidding. I'm only going to write as much as possible before I decide to call it a day. But there will still be lemon). So no one under the age of sixteen can read. (Yeah right. You naughty kids will just kindly skip over my "suggestion")
Announcement #3: Enjoy! This fanfiction was born from the depths of my somewhat warped imagination for this purpose only. So read it until you can quote it!
Announcement #4: To prevent any confusion, I suggest that you watch the video for Panda Hero first. It will explain a couple things in the story that you might not understand.
Announcement #5: Bold is for shiro,italics are for thought, and these ' ' are only used when Ichigo is speaking to Shiro. He's not speaking outloud they're just so you know that those thoughts are directed at Shiro.
Summary: When Ichigo Kurosaki's family is killed by the Soskue Aizen, The ruthless CEO of the Las Noches drug company, he swears revenge and becomes our amoral black-and-white hero in a post apocalyptic Karakura town. Where the poor live and the rich look down on from the inner city of Hueco Mundo. Sporting his trusty metal bat Zangetsu and some unwanted help from his friends he just might make it. But when Coyote Starrk, one of Aizen's personal body guards with a similar past enters his life he must choose between having his revenge and keeping the one he loves most. kinda hard to do when you're a wanted fugitive on both sides in more ways than one.
Panda Hero
In the year 2024 the world had gone to ruin. Wars have destoryed our once beautiful world turning it from its usual luscious green and blue hues to a dank dusty brown color. Times were hard and money and jobs were scarce. Millions of people were homeless, left to face the cruel, unpredictable, poluted waste lands that were once beautiful fields and thriving towns. Many people got togther and formed large colonies that took shelter in the abandon cities that were destoryed by bommings and other horrible means. And from that the cities were reborn by the hard work of the people to make them bigger, better, and stronger. To evolve into sonething more advanced and productive. One city, however grew to become a focal point for the new world. That was the city of Heuco Mundo. Built by the rich for the rich. It grew as if over night. Tall glass and metal buliding growing from the ground like silver beacons. The most prominent boulding was a large plain white tower that stood in the center of Heuco Mundo, the only thing distingushing it was the two letters L and N brought togther in a circle by the upper corner of the west side. It was the Las Noches drug company owned, founded, and opperated by mutli-billionare Soskue Aizen, the richest man in the world. His business provided money, medicine, and an identity Heuco Mundo. Over the corse of a year people began to flock there with hopes that they could start over and build a better life for them and their families. But sadily most could not aford to live in such a rich area. They were casted out to the slums around Heuco Mundo now known as Karakura town. The people settled there and began to create their own city from the rusted metals of abandoned parts and slowly but surely they started to thrive. But that was twenty years ago. And this is now.
Chapter 1
Karakura town was divided into four parts. The north end, the south end, the east end, and the west end. In the west end there is a small metal tower that looked out over the city far from where the people in the west end lived. From up there you could see the piles of the now obsolete forms of old cars covered with rust and the large metal pipes that stuck out of the ground releasing small plumes of heated smoke, the squashed forms of the metal shacks that passed for houses here on one side and the baren deasert around the town on the other. Sitting high up in the tower under the glare of the sun was a young man at least seventeen years old, his boot clad feet proped up on the bent iron rail that circled the top half of the towers security fence. He wore faded dark green army pants and a large jacket with a fur lined hood of a similar light greenish color. The hood was up protecting him from the glaring rays of the sun but you could still see the spiky orange hair concealed underneath. His handsom tanned face bore a deep scoul as he glared up at the sun then at the base of the tower. Chocolate brown eyes with dark purplish black rings around them, probaly from lack of sleep scanned the area with a disdain look before closing in fustration. Next to him an old FM raido blasted out static and incoherent lyrics to some old trashy pop song. A neon bunny girl that no longer blinked in it's colorful aray of lights was proped up on the pole right above fiddled with the gas mask around his neck before letting out a fustrated groan. "How hard is it to find this goddamned tower!? It's the only thing this tall this far out!" Ichigo, through with waiting for anyone with a job for him to show up shut of the radio and stuffed it into his knapsack before throwing it over his shoulder. In his left hand he held a metal bat with the word 'Zangetsu' written on it in big black letters along it's length. He put it through a loop on the side of his bag so he could carefully decend down the rungs of the worn metal ladder welded to the side of the tower.
His boots hit the ground with a thud kicking up a small cloud of dust.They know how to find me when they need me. With that the orangett started off straight ahead with the intention of going by Urahara's shop for some suplies. I wonder if hat 'n' clogs finished making those smoke grenades I asked for? 'Looks like someone's mad about not getting a job today.' Ichigo sighed. 'I'm not upset just a little tired from staying up half the night.' Shiro shickered when I nearly tripped over a low lying power cable. 'Whatever Panda-chan. By the way, ya got some trouble coming up around the next corner.' I seethed at the embarrassing nick name before coming to a halt by the corner Shiro mentioned. Lined up across the path I was taking were five guys, each wearing all black bandanas across their foreheads with white skulls on them. Each one of them shot me a dirty look before advancing towards me. Not them again. They were from a gang that I broke up six months ago due to a clients comlaint about their business. If I remember correctly they were called the skulls and that they delt delt drugs, opium I think. Behind me there was a sound like boots stepping on broken glass and I knew that I was surrounded. Taking a quick look around, I see that there are ten in all standing in a tight knit circle around me. Some pulled out weapons like knives, pipes, and chains while some were empty handed. One of the bigger thugs stepped forward brandishing a deadly looking coil of chain wrapped in barbed wire still covered in blood from it's latest unlucky victim. "Hey Panda." he jeers menacingly. "Where do you think you're going?" I don't answer just glare at him. "That was a pretty ballsy move. Coming in to our territory and destorying our base. Most of my men are too scared to rejoin for fear that they will run into you again. So I'm here to return the favor." His underlings laugh and yell as if on drugs. They probably are high on their own supply. "Any last words before we splatter you brains all over the ground?" I sighed and reached up with my left hand to grab Zangetsu. "Don't do this. I'm kinda in a bad mood and I don't want to take it out on you." He gives me a deep throaty laugh then sneers at me.
"The first person to bring him to me gets a reward." That was all the encouragement his drones needed before running at me with weapons and fist raised to do some damage. Idiots. I tried to warn them. One of the bolder thugs swings a rusted pipe at me and I duck then knee him and the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. He falls to the ground with a grunt as more move in to take his place. They all thought that they could take me down by overwhelming me with their numbers. But they were dead wrong. Time and time again guys like them ganged up on me because the had a problem with my looks and how I did things so I was used to fighting against large numbers. Within minutes everyone except the boss was on the ground either unconcious or groaning in pain.
And all without using Zangetsu. I turn to the boss with a droll look. "Is that it or do you want to join them?" He glares at me then smiles. From behind one of the guys that I had previously beat up grabbed me and pinned my arms to my sides. "Shit!" I cursed and started to struggle. A blow to the side of my face quiets me and stops my struggling. The boss smiles at me and pulls out a small knife holding it dangerously close to my face. "Hold up his head." The guy behind me does so by pulling down my hood and grabing a handfull of my hair to force my gaze upwards. "You know what they say Panda." The knife stops dangerously close over my right eye. "An eye for an eye" He pulls hand back, poised to slam down into my face. "A tooth for a tooth!" I wasn't in the mood to lose an eye so I did something I rarely did in fights. I kicked out with all my strength and kicked him right in his nether regions. It worked like a charm, making him drop the knife and fall to his knees to cup his injured manhood. His underling loosens his hold and I take this as an oppertuinity to teach him a lesson. Using his own weight against him, I throw him over my shoulder and with a quick twist dislocated his shoulder with a satisfying 'pop'. He lets out a small pain filled cry before running away with his arm hanging limply by his side. Now for the boss. I pull Zangetsu from my back and swing right at his head. The hit connects and he falls to the ground out cold a dark bruise already showing up on his temple where I struck him. A few days with a crippling headache should teach him not to mess with me.
I continue on my way to Urahara's shop when a petite girl with raven colored hair cut into a shoulder length bob ran up to me and slapped me on the back. "Hey Ichigo! You made short work of those thugs that tried to jump you but that is expected of our panda hero." She ignored my glare at the nickname she knew I hated. "Rukia! For the last time quit calling me that!" Rukia only laughed as she fell in stride with me. How did I know that she knew I hated that nickname? Simple, she's the one who gave me that stupid nickname. Me and Rukia had know each other for about a year and over that time we grew to become best friends. I forgot how long ago it was, bout one day she comented about the rings around my eyes. "With those rings around your eyes they make you look like a panda." And with that statement she christened me the panda hero. The name spread like the flu and before I knew it I had become known as the panda hero all over Karakura town. "Where you headed Ichigo?" "To hat 'n' clogs place to pick up a few things. Then I'm going home." "Great. I was just on my way there to get a new sketch pad." I smirk at that. Rukia was know in our small circle of frieds for beind terrible at drawing. "Then why are you way out here?" She shrugs and adjust the whip at her side. "I thought you might need some help on a job. But you obviously didn't get one."
"Meh! It doesn't matter. I didn't really need any money I have enough saved to last me for a couple of months." After a few more turns through a maze like passage way of rusted scrap metal and old hollowed out buildings we get to Urahara's shop. It was the only shop that I ever went to because I could trust the owner. Sort of. And he's the one who helped me after the incident a year ago with my family. Outside we were greeted by a smal girl with her shoulder length black hair tied into two pigtails with two strands hanging down inbetween her eyes like two antena. She stopped sweeping the front poarch when she saw us and ran inside to tell hat'n' clogs that we were here. We step through the wood framed door and was met by hat 'n' clogs himself who stood in the middle of his small shop in his usual garb. Green striped hat, fan, cane and all. "Ichigo! Rukia!" he called out happily. "Youre just in time! Ururu, go get Ichigo's order from the back." The pigtailed girl nodded silently and ran behind a doorway behind the counter covered by a red curtain. "And for you Rukia." He pulls a book out of his sleave and I groan while Rukia squeals. It had chappy the bunny on the cover. "Don't tell me that that's the sketch book you wanted?" I asked. "Yes it is." she states before putting it in her bag. Thank you Urahara. It's just what I wanted." Rukia is addicted to rabits or somthing. I sware she acts just like a little girl when it comes to all things chappy the bunny related. What made it worse was that she knew I hated him to and she constantly rubbed it in my face. Where were my smoke grenades so that I can leave this place. At last Ururu came back carrying my things in her skirt. "For you Ichigo. Your grenades, flares, and medecine." I thanked him and loaded my things into my bag before leaving. "Wait Ichigo! Lookie here." Hat 'n' clogs was smiling so it had to be something bad. I eyed him suspiciously as he handed me a piece of folded paper. My eyes widened when I saw what was on it. "What is it Ichigo? She stands on her tiptoes to look over my arm. As it turns out it was a wanted poster with my picture and name on it.
The reward was pretty big. Ten thousand dollars* is a lot to most people. "How does it feel to be a wanted man, Ichigo?" asked hat n'n clogs, the smile evident in his voice. "Where did you get this?" I asked. "Youruichi found it the other day when she was on one of her jobs." "I guess that explains why those guys were ganging up on me." I muse. I refold the wanted ad and put it in my pocket. "See you later Hat 'n' clogs. I'll see you later." Rukia says good-bye too and follows after me. 'Hey king!' "I told you not to call me that.' 'Then would you prefer Strawberry or Panda?' 'Neither!' 'Then king it is. Who do ya' think is after ya'? There's no other reason for that wanted poster of ya' than that.' 'Don't know don't care. No one can beat me anyway. Besides I'm not gonna rest untill I get my revenge on him.' 'Tch! Whatever. Talk to me when you're about to make that plan happen. Cause right now as it stands, ya' ain't anwhere near getting you're revenge.' With that in mind I make my way home, noticing that Rukia wasn't with me. "Ichigo!" I look around startled as I heard Rukia call my name. She was standing on top of an old power line googles on and dress flapping in the wind. "Why the hell are you up there!? Are you trying to kill you're self!?" How she climbs up those high places so quickly gets me every time. "It looks like there's a storm coming." A storm? "Which direction? And how long do you think until it hits?" Storms were a big deal in Karakura town. Cause when it rained it poured. Rain came down like hale here and was often acidic due to the chemicals the water binds with when it falls to earth. It usually depends on what color the water was. Clear and any color blue was alright reds and purples were deadly and most people usually stayed indoors. "About ten minutes maybe." "We should be going home then." Rukia jumps down and lands next to me. Her eyes shone mischeviously behind her yellow gogles. "Aw! But I was looking forward to helping you with you're little lonely problem."
"I'm fine on my own Rukia. I don't need a girlfriend." I growl. "What about-" "Or a boyfriend!" Rukia also has some sick fasination with controling my love life. Besides having a few friends I prefer being alone. I have no need for someone like that weighing me down. "Just go home Rukia. We can talk about this another time." She gives me a sly smile. "Sure thing Ichigo." And with that she runs off home to beat the storm. Something told me that I was not going to like it the next time I saw her. The sound of thunder rips through the air, so I turn heel and run in the direction of my own home. It was easy to spot from where I was now. Hanging by the door was a long faded dartboard stuck with kneedles and a yellow glove that was glued ther on accident when I tried to fix the roof. The sight brought a smile to my face as I brought out a key to unlock the pad lock I placed there to keep out unwanted pest. The house was relatively small, only big enough for one person and only had three rooms. A small bed room, a small living room, and a small bathroom. This place was my base. My home sweet home. I shook off my bag and left it in it's place by the door and hung my jacket on the spike I put on the wall for that purpose. The wanted poster was fished out of my pocket and placed on the bookshelf I made to keep my valueables. One it were a few books, including a ratty old paperback of William Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet that was falling apart from over use, a faded orane lion doll, and an old family photo. "Hey Kon." I said solemly as I stared at the picture. In it was a man with his wife and three children. The man ws tall with spiky black hair with goatee and a kind smile. He was standing next to a womam with wavey orange hair a shade lighter than mine. She seemed to be laughing at her husband while staring fondly at the two twin girls standing in front of her. One stood there with a big happy smile, holding a stuffed lion doll and the other had her arms crossed over her chest in the middle of an eye roll. The last kid was a younger version of me sitting on a rock next to the girls with one hand on my little sister Karin's head and the other resting on my knees. The picture of my once happy family filled me with sadness and then intense rage at the one who had ripped it all away. Soskue Aizen. One day I would find him and make him pay for what he did.
