Zero Q: Just have to ask witch Jeanne are you using the DxD or fate version.

A: This is a Bleach and DxD fanfiction and the only reason why I included Caster and Souichiro was more or less because I couldn't come up with totally original OC.

Scorez Q: (A bunch of points)

A: The reason as to why he went Vasto Lorde and not him just going in a rage was because he hadn't fully controlled his hollow powers because it has only been a few weeks since his battle with Aizen and he had not matured beyond his breaking and depression. I have no intention of having Ichigo joining the cast, too unoriginal.

Petram didn't survive by the way.

Chapter 7

Heroes

Ichigo scooped up a piece of his curry and ate it. Savoring in its taste, he dug in.

"Hey! Ichi, table manners!" Yuzu scolded.

"Your sister is right, Ichigo, it is improper to eat your food without giving appreciation," Rukia chastised him, giving him an unapproving shake of her head.

Ichigo swallowed his food, sat down his utensils, and clasped his hands. "Thank you for food," he said in an annoyance before digging in.

A round of laughter and appreciation reached his ears as his numerous friends and family dug into their food.

Ichigo smiled as he ate his food. He was...

Ichigo blinked as he stared at the two girls before him. "What?" he dumbly said.

Asa fidgeted a bit before repeating what she had said previously. "Well, Orihime and I have decided to share you!" she said confidently, absent of stutters.

"Eh? What do you mean share me?" he asked in confusion, his eyebrows furrowing.

"I-It's exactly what it means you, idiot! O-Orihime... And I-I... We both love you and we decided that we will share you between us!" the conviction was evident in her eyes as she finished her sentence. She was staring Ichigo down.

"Y-Y-Yes!" Orihime followed as she confirmed Asa's words.

A heavy blush formed on his face as he tried to formulate an answer. He honest to God had never experienced what most people call a love confession before! What was he supposed to say?!

"U-Uh..."

But when he met Asa's eyes again, her eyes were wide. Blood spilled from her lips as she looked down. Ichigo looked down as well.

There, a fist stuck out of her stomach.

He lifted his eyes to her eyes and they stared back at him.

"You were too late," she whispered, just barely audible to him before her whole body collapsed as if her strings were cut.

"Asa!" he yelled. He turned his eyes towards Orihime. Yet, there was no one.

Turning his eyes back to Asa, he knelt beside her to try to save her. Yet, before that could happen, her body turned into a violent burst of energy, forcing Ichigo on his back.

He heard footsteps and Petram peered at him from above, a grin on his face. "You humans should stay at the bottom."

He once again stood in his inner world. He blinked in confusion as he looked for any of his two spirits.

His confusion won over his anger as he tried to locate anyone. Yet, it was empty.

The skyscrapers ran forever, built past the sky.

Crack.

The window pane he stood on cracked, seemingly as if it could not hold his weight.

This had never happened before, it always held his spirits' and his weight.

Quickly stepping off the pane to avoid falling through, he heard another crack then another. Looking down, he saw it was already breaking.

Every glass pane was cracking.

Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack.

And they all broke.

Yet, he still felt something underneath him despite this. Looking down once again, he saw his cracked reflection.

It was cracked, but not broken. Unusable yet usable. Unsturdy, yet sturdy.

Ichigo snapped his eyes open, his eyes frantically looking for where he was.

White, there was only white.

And he was floating.

It felt more like... Well, he didn't really know something he could compare it too... The total weightlessness was a whole new experience for him.

Even in water, he felt gravity pushing him down, a totally different thing than of a gravityless feeling he was feeling.

His eyes landed on an obscured door, something he would have definitely missed if it weren't for the distinct outline of a rectangle.

Before he could move, however, the door disappeared to reveal a man around his bodily age with a stereotypical modern wizard look. A long, stylish red trench coat; square glasses that gave a modern feeling

A nerd trying to be a cool wizard.

Ichigo didn't really laugh at his internal joke. Uryu was about the same way, stylish, frail-looking, and overall, looks like your average genius or nerd.

Oh, he was a genius alright but strong enough to fend his attacks.

Per usual with remembering someone from his original world, his heart ached.

"Yo. You like the setup?" the man inquired. A bridge made up of circles extended forwards, allowing the man to walk on it.

Ichigo's face scrunched up only a bit. "You smell like a devil," he said with disdain but otherwise didn't move.

The man blinked a bit. "A devil, eh? Well, I suppose I am a descendant of a person who made a pact with a powerful devil... But that was generations ago, how were you able to tell?"

"Your spirit ribbon has a small red spot," Ichigo replied calmly.

Georg's eyes widened in curiosity. "Based on its name, I assume it has to do something with the soul or spirit?"

"Who are you?"

"Georg."

Ichigo remained silent, processing the name a bit before speaking, "Where am I?"

"In our headquarters," Georg replied as he brought up a magic circle before him.

"Our?"

Before Georg could speak, a distinctively new voice said from behind, "As in my faction, the Hero Faction or, if you want you to go further, the Khaos Brigade."

The man was around Georg's age with sharp features and a strong build. He was garbed in an identical outfit to Georg but instead of the trench coat thingy on his shoulders, it was wrapped at his waist.

The weapon the man held emitted a strong aura similar to that of a zanpakuto.

"Good morning, Georg and to you, Ichigo Kurosaki," the man greeted.

Ichigo's eyes narrowed with apprehension. His energy slowing climbed.

Georg tapped a few things on his magic circle while speaking to the man. "Which time zone are you referring to, Cao Cao?" he asked nonchalantly.

"I suppose Japanese Standard Time," Cao Cao shrugged. Looking at Ichigo, he took note of the apprehension that was barely evident on his face. He raised his arms in surrender. "Don't need to be so hostile, we're just getting you down from there."

Georg finally stopped his tapping and looked at Ichigo. "Er... You have the ability to walk on air or fly right?" he asked.

Ichigo was confused as he looked at the magician.

"We saw you in your... Berserk form... You were walking in air," Georg explained, "and we were hoping if you could do it without going into that state."

"Berserk... State..." Ichigo muttered, not loud enough for the two of them to hear but loud enough for that to resonate within him. "I went berserk..."

Getting a bit nervous at Ichigo's lack of answer, Georg decided to elaborate even further. "When we tried to put you on a bed, your... Hrm... Energy destroyed it and specific magic that doesn't take form, like gravity magic, seems to be the only thing you can interact with besides air."

Ichigo snapped out of his trance as he stared at Georg and Cao Cao. "I can 'walk on air'," he confirmed, calming Georg down.

"Okay, disabling the gravity magic..." With a final tap of the magic circle, the feeling of weightlessness that Ichigo felt disappeared and the feeling of normal gravity set in again. "Amazing... I don't even see any magic circles helping you..."

Finally able to move more freely, Ichigo slowly descended to the duo. Careful to not touch them, lest he "destroyed" them, he merely descended towards instead of moving towards them.

"If you had seen me in my 'berserk' state, then you must know the fate of the shrine's inhabitants..." Ichigo said with a glimmer of hope.

Unbeknownst to Ichigo, Cao Cao smirked inwardly. "Unfortunately, they were killed by the devils before you went berserk," he said with a faux sorrowful tone.

Ichigo's eyes dimmed. "Oh..." he mouthed, but then his eyes widened briefly in realization. 'Saberu...' His eyes shot back to Cao Cao as he asked his next question, "Is Saberu... Alive?"

Cao Cao frowned a bit and looked to Georg if he had anything but the magician shook his head. "I don't know, I was mostly focused on you," he stated truthfully, "but I did notice a car that was parked a little way out of the shrine, it was the car the girl, Asa, I believe, came from."

Ichigo made no move to grab Cao Cao by the collar and shake the man down for information, something he was sure he would've done. Instead, his eyes simply turned hopeful. "That's... Can you please take me to the shrine?"

Georg intervened. "If you are thinking of going to the human world to look for the child, I suggest you forget it. Unless you could control your ability to... Erase things, you will be a threat to the people."

Ichigo remained silent as he looked at his hand. "Control my powers..." He moved his arm and distinctly spotted a black outline of reishi moving with it.

The two remained silent for a while as they observed Ichigo's actions before Georg summoned a ball of magic. "Here, if it doesn't get erased, then we'll consider it under control," he stated. He simply tossed the magic ball at Ichigo, it lazily floated towards the ex-shinigami.

Ichigo, not allowing the opportunity of freedom to flee from him, extended his hand out and tried to regulate his energy. He concentrated all his will power to try to move the energy that surrounded his palm.

It was all for naught, the ball of energy dissipated into nothingness. His expression turned from hopeful to distraught.

Georg turned to Cao Cao, who observed Ichigo, before speaking. "Do not fret, you'll still be allowed but only under the watch of one of us at all times..." he said carefully, "but you won't be able to enter any cities or towns..."

Ichigo slowly approached the duo. Both of them tensed in anticipation.

"Can I go to hell?" Ichigo asked.

"Hell?" Cao Cao asked, his grip on his spear tightening.

Ichigo clutched his hand in anger and his eyes turned murderous. "That's where devils reside right?" he asked, his energy slowly expanding but keeping out of the way of Cao Cao and Georg.

Georg looked at Cao Cao expectantly, his legs coiled to run.

"Yes," Cao Cao confirmed confidently. "I assume you want to take vengeance on them?"

"Are you going to stop me?" Ichigo asked murderously.

"As much as I hate to, yes. You will bring the whole supernatural world upon you. As powerful as your erasing ability is, we do not know the full extent of it if it could erase beings with regeneration, immortals, or the Satans," Cao Cao explained. "It will also bring attention to us and we're not fully mobilized to take on the full might of the devils."

"Then I won't associate me with you," Ichigo retorted angrily. "Now, take me to Hell."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes. "Ichigo Kurosaki, you will not go to the Underworld nor Earth. I, too, have people to protect," he declared, drawing in the notes Georg made during his observation of Ichigo.

Ichigo flinched but seemed to snap out of his anger. His eyes were dull as he stood there, unmoving. "I'm assuming you're going to use me as well?" he asked huskily.

"That is unavoidable," Cao Cao said. "With your power, no one in the world would resist the chance of gaining you on their side, we are no exception. However, I can make your vengeance reality as our goals and ambitions aline with each other."

"My goal is to protect and it will always be… My ambition is to destroy the devils. Will you fulfill those?"

Cao Cao remained silent and turned to George. Fully aware that Ichigo would hear what he would say, he leaned near Georg's ear. "Locate Saberu," he whispered, Ichigo hearing it with his advanced senses. "Make sure she is alright and, if need be, make sure she is in good hands."

Georg nodded and excused himself.

"What are you going to do to her?" Ichigo asked with narrow eyes.

Cao Cao raised his hands in surrender as he explained his actions to the protective Ichigo. "To fulfill your goal to protect… To protect the ones close to you."

Ichigo remained silent as his eyes bore into Cao Cao's.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, as leader of the Hero Faction within the Khaos Brigade, I invite you to join us on our crusade," Cao Cao said grandly, his hand extended towards Ichigo.

"Crusade...?"

Cao Cao grinned. "We will purge all the evil beings in the world and pave the way for human domination! We will put us, the ones who have been pushed around by the supernatural, at the top! There shall be no more devils to massacre us, no fallen angels to rape our daughters, and no gods to decide our fates. So, Ichigo Kurosaki," his grin grew wider, "will you join our crusade?"

Ichigo remained silent before his gaze hardened, "I accept." He then went to shake Cao Cao's hand, only for the man to hurriedly put back to his side.

Cao Cao grinned as Ichigo looked blankly at his ungreeted hand. "Can't have you erasing my hand, can't I?"

Ichigo had a faint smirk and Cao Cao lightly laughed.

"Have you located the human?"

"We have, my lord."

"Well, where is he?"

"He's currently under the protection of the Hero Faction."

"The human group?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Very well, keep tabs on him."

"It will be done, my lord."

"That malice... The destruction... Oh, how it is similar to you, father… Yet it is stronger… He will make a perfect body for you..."

"So..." Sirzechs began, his usual childish personality replaced with a grim and serious one. "Cleria Belial of the Belial clan has passed? How is Diehauser taking it?"

He was the current Lucifer, head of the devil side of hell.

Grayfia, his wife, responded, "Not well. He is in mourning."

"Is the Rating Game to be delayed?" he inquired.

"Yes, it was pushed back a day when the news came to the board."

"Who was it that killed her?"

"We do not know, the yokai have yet to release any statement but they have revealed that heavy amounts of demonic energy are detected at the site."

Sirzechs blinked owlishly. "Yokai? Why are they investigating?"

"The place where the incident occurred was at a Shinto shrine," she replied smoothly. "The yokai have stated that once they do their investigation, they will abandon the shrine and allow us to do our own."

He put a hand on his chin as he pondered. "Are they covering up something...?"

"More than likely."

Chapter 7 End

My editor is sick and I'm, more or less, lazy so updates will be slow. This chapter was delayed to a combination of laziness and the need to raise my grades, especially English.

Also, what's with the huge difference in favorites and follows? It's almost as large as the difference between PewDiePie and T-Series.

Have a good spring break, SaveTheWeak going to sleep.
