The love note

Chapter 9 - the truth of the love note

" who am I in this huge world . I wonder aimlessly to try to find the answer while dealing with my urges . if only I knew what to do ? where to go ? who to trust ? can I turn my back on the path I have chosen ."

These are the thoughts that goes inside the mind of our carrot top Shinigami , he feels way to lonely even though he is surrounded by allies . to ease his aching heart and mind he goes to the central town for a cup of coffee .

Ichigo minding his own business stops by a starbucks for a cup of coffee " it been a long day , I need something to restart my brain ." then all of a sudden 10 menos appeared in karakura town the level of spiritual pressure they were exerting shattered all of the glasses of the nearby buildings and one of them shot a cero at the nearby park destroying it " well a little exercise to refresh my mood." he took a green candy out of his pocket and swallowed it and he jumped out of the broken window .

" Hey ichigo you better come back alive ." screamed kon " just sit tight and have something from the café its my treat ." ichigo spoke up and went to the fight zone , he noticed there is an another presence besides the giant beasts and rushed to the scene . to his surprise he saw uryuu and chad mood already fending of the hoard trying to minimize the damage .

" GETSUGA TENSHO ." A broad burst of light hits a menos and destroys its mask making it fade away . uryuu looked to the sky to see ichigo wielding a smoking zangetsu " you took your damn time geeting here ." ichigo grinned " I had complete faith in you and thought you could take care of it ."

Uryuu nodded " sarcasm is not your strong side, a little help would be nice from the soul society ." ichigo gripped his zanpacto tightly " BAN – KAI ." ICHIGO RUSHED TOWARDS the menos and sliced it down " we cant wait for the captains to decide on something , we are on our own ."

He had no choice and with a swiping motion put on his hollow mask and for the first time charged up a red orb in his hands and screamed " CERO ." the blast was emormous and it destroyed all the menos and from the smoke he could make out a figure of a woman standing where the menos were . the chocolate lady was wearing a white shihaksho like grimmjow and giving out a massive reiatsu " are you kurosaki ichigo ?"

" depends on the one asking ?" ichigo replied but his voice had a weird growl to it , like a animals growl .

HER lips was covered by the jacket but ichigo knew she was smiling " fine I will give you the courtesy Shinigami . I am known as Tia Hallibel , espada no 3 and for now the head of los noches ." ichigo was worried but tried to keep calm ' And what does the queen of los noches want exactly surely you didn't just put on this show for no reason ." tia was happy " ah a man who comes straight to the point . I like you kurosaki ." she disappears and sneaks up behind him and places her hand on his shoulder " I am interested in your powers and wish to have a word in private . If you accept all good and if you refuse I will unleash all the hollows and vasto lords onto the town no human or spirit will be spared ."

Ichigo couldn't risk that scenario to occur but in a futile try flash stepped away and launched a getsuga at the uninvited guest but it didn't even scratch the skin of her arm which she used to deflect it . ichigo let go of zangetsu which was free falling to the and was embedded in it and steam began to emit from it . uryuu decided to toss the sword back to ichigo but couldn't as he couldn't touch the blade as it was a if it was brought out of a burning furnace . ishida looked at ichigo to see his hands were covered with burns .

Hallibel sighed " I see that your zanpacto finally rejects you ichigo . I cant be surprised by it considering you are using the book ." ichigo was shocked that she knew the existence of the love note . to spare the risk of his friends finding out he co operated and entered the garganta followed by hallibel .

Los noches castle

Hallibel ordered her subordinates to leave and they were left alone in the throne room where aizen once used to be . she looked at ichigo " you wish to know what is the white book suppose to be . well I will tell you during your first visit here and the final fight in the world of the living there was an arrancar you didn't meet and that's no 12 sophie aranke , she was an artificial arrancar created by Szayelaporro Granz in an experiment to see if artificial is more powerful than the originals and as a fail safe .

But though she was an arrancar with high potential and was approved by lord aizen ,sophie was far from normal her released form was to scandalous so to speak sand her zanpacto transforms into a book which you now have . her powers were lust based and anyone bewitched by her will slowly turn into a mindless beast with primitive survival instinct . due to this being the case gin sealed her into the lower depths of los noches , but her powers weren't contained and the book is still active . they disposed of the book but somehow you find it "

She looked at ichigo " though sealed away her powers do not lay dormant and has being manipulating you . you have hollow abilities and this makes the change easier to occur . in other words your usage of this cursed object is stripping you of your humanity ."

Ichigo sweat dropped it was because of the changes in spiritual pressure made zangetsu react like that . It made sense but he couldn't help use it , as it was like second nature to him or a he had grown dependent on it . he also noticed that his sexual urges had grown as well , isane had pointed that out the last time they met . hallibel couldn't help but stare at him , the scent he lets off is every mesmerizing and tempts her primal side ' he may be just a human but he certainly has something that's enchants women that is beyond the realm of control of the book .'

She looked at him dead in the eyes ' considering he fared well in the fight with grimmjow and ulquiorra I am willing to give him a go and consider him a mate .' she whispered Hunt Tiburon and she changed her form to her released state . ichigo couldn't take his eyes of the ebony beauty and his mask just disengaged , hallibel glowed with a bright white light and afterwards she was in all her glory with only bones covering her shoulders and basically all bare and nude .

Ichigo kept on staring at the lady definitely getting the hint that she wants him right there and then but will he take the risk .
