Chapter Five
(One year Six months Later)
We find our young hero finishing up today's lesson.
"You know young one you continue to amaze me. I never imagined you'd finish what I deemed at least a two year course in a year and a half. Your comprehension of the spiritual world is utterly astounding. It borders on genius level of understanding and comprehensive capabilities."
Ichigo rises from his desk and gives a respectful bow. "Thank you for your praise, but I owe it all to you. You're both amazing teachers, you made the lessons fun and interactive."
Yoruichi walked over and ruffled Ichigo's hair. "We can't take all the credit, you are a remarkable student."
Kisuke walks over and puts his hand on Ichigo's shoulder. "Well young one, part one of your training is complete. In four months we will start part two of your training. I'll tell you now there is no way for you to finish early, body conditioning training will go for the entire two years."
Ichigo looks up at Kisuke with determination in his eyes. " I'm ready for the trials ahead."
Yoruichi giggles " I'm glad to hear that because I'm going to be your instructor for that part of the training. When training begins everyday will feel like a living hell, we'll train until your body brakes or you pass out from exhaustion."
Ichigo shakes a little at the thought of the grueling training ahead. He then looks at Yoruichi. "Do you think Tatsuki, Yuzu and Karin could sleep over tonight I'd really like to see them, also I'd like to check to see if Tatsuki has any spiritual energy. If she does I want to bring her in for training as well. I think now would be the perfect chance to start gathering allies and preparing for any problems that occur in the future."
Kisuke was amazed at Ichigo's initiative to start planning ahead.
Yoruichi thought it over. "I think it would be better if Tatsuki stayed over tonight and tomorrow you spend the entire day with the twins. This way you don't have to split your attention between three people and you can have your private chat with Tatsuki."
Ichigo agreed and ran to the front hall to get his shoes on. "Come on Yoruichi if we leave now we should be able to catch Tatsuki getting out of practice." He jumped from his left foot to his right as he waited for Yoruichi to put her shoes on.
"Alright alright my little Ichi calm down we'll make it." She finished getting her shoes on and they left the house.
(Dojo)
;hmm I sure miss Ichigo he Hasn't been able to come lately, I know he said what he's doing is important but he never told me what it was.;
"Hey Tatsuki"
She looked up after removing herself from her thoughts. "Hey Ichigo." They ran at one another and gave each other a hug. I missed you idiot what have you been doing I only see you at school but then when school ends you just vanish."
Ichigo rubs the back of his head. " sorry Tatsuki i've been busy with something important."
She gives him a look of annoyance. "I know you're busy, you say that every time I ask but you never tell me what it is that's so important."
Ichigo continued to rub the back of his head. "Well Tatsuki that's part of the reason why I'm here, I'd like to invite you to sleepover tonight so we can talk about why I've been absent from karate practice the last two months."
She grabbed his collar. "Are you actually going to tell me what you've been up to or are you going to make up some story."
Ichigo put his hand atop her head. "What's with the sudden mistrust, have I ever lied to you?"
"No"
"Well if it makes you feel better i'm not going to start now." She let his collar go and they made their way to Tatsuki's house, before heading back towards home.
When they all returned to the house Ichigo lead Tatsuki to his room. They both sat on the bed facing each other.
"So are you going to tell me what this important thing is."
"I will in just a moment but first I want to try something. Can you hold out your hands?"
She did as was asked and held out her hands. She was a little surprised when Ichigo put his hands in hers. "Now we both need to close our eyes." Again she did as instructed.
Ichigo closed his eyes and focused on Tatsuki. His eyes darted back and forth behind closed lids as if searching for something. As minutes passed he finally found what he was looking for. He was surprised there was a lot more than a normal humans. Having found what he was looking for Ichigo removed his hands from Tatsuki's.
"Now Tatsuki I want you to keep your eyes closed and focus your mind, now picture yourself holding a ball of energy. Now imagine yourself solidifying the ball of energy." Ichigo was astonished at the basketball size sphere of energy, he was also intrigued by the color of the energy.
"Keep what I just said in mind and now open your eyes."
As Tatsuki opened her eyes she was at first startled by the ball of energy but then calmed as she felt familiarity from the dark green orb.
"Wh-what is this?"
"That is called spiritual energy Tatsuki, every living being has it.some are even capable of wielding it for different purposes."
"Can anyone do this with their spirit energy? Can you do this?"
"To answer your first question, no not everyone can pull out their spirit energy and for your second question I'd just rather show you."
Ichigo closed his eyes and focused on a forming ball of energy, as he felt the energy touch his hands he started to focus on solidifying it. He then opened his eyes.
"As you can see I'm also able to do it." Tatsuki was amazed at how easily he formed the sphere, but then looked a little confused.
"doesn't the sphere of energy reflect a person's soul and personality?"
"Yes it does I'm surprised you noticed that."
"Then if that's true why is yours black with a red trim?"
"Well you see i'm a special case my energy doesn't reflect my personality it only reflects my soul."
"So is this why you've been so preoccupied these last few months?"
"Somewhat I've mostly been going through a secondary school to learn all I can about the spiritual world. With Kisuke and Yoruichi as my Teachers I've learned a lot."
"Wait Yoruichi and Kisuke can do this as well?"
"Indeed they are what's known as spiritual beings, also if you want the orb of energy to disappear just stop focusing on it."
The moment she stopped focusing on the energy it suddenly vanished.
"This would be very hard to believe if I didn't just hold the proof in my hand."
"I know how you feel. before we go any farther there's something you need to know. In five years time this entire town will become a battlefield. Two opposing sides of spiritual beings will use Karakura town as their warzone. I plan on getting the power necessary to protect the town even if I have to fight both sides in the process. I know I need allies though, I won't ask you to fight. I would like it if you would train with me though if only to protect yourself."
"There's no need to ask we promised to stand together even if the whole world turned against us, I will fight with you."
She gets off the bed and playfully kneels.
"Your orders captain."
"Please don't do that, we are comrades. We stand as equals." She gave a giggle and stood up.
"As you wish, captain"
Ichigo gave a sigh
"Well when do I start the training?"
"We'll ask Kisuke and Yoruichi at dinner tonight."
"Alright"
(Dining room)
"Ichigo, Tatsuki it's time for dinner."The kids rushed into the bathroom. After washing up they went to the dining room to sit.
" Did you talk to her Ichigo?"
"Yes Yoruichi I did."
"Good then she will start her lessons tomorrow." Ichigo gave a nod then paused.
"Actually Kisuke I need you to be with me while i'm at my sister's tomorrow, Something seems off. I don't know what's going to happen but I need you to be with me."
"Alright little one if you want me to come with you tomorrow I will."
"Thank you, now there is another person who I believe would be a valuable addition to this Karakura defense group. He's a boy by the name of Uryu Ishida,we bumped into each other during school. He has the same amount of spiritual energy as me But it's more controlled as if he's been using it longer than I have."
When Ichigo looked over at Kisuke He was confused by the face Kisuke was making.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No, it's just we should have a talk with your father tomorrow."
"Why, is something wrong?"
"No this particular situation has to do with your mother so it would be best if your father told you."
"My mother"
Ichigo went silent before standing up. "Can I be excused?"
"You may be excused."
"Thank you" He left the table and went to his room.
Yoruichi went to get up but was stopped by Tatsuki. "It's alright I'll talk with him."
She got up from the table and followed him into his room.
"I thought he was over the worst of it."
"He is Kisuke but his mother is still a sore subject. I was hoping we didn't have to have this conversation until he accessed his soul reaper powers."
"I know what you mean."
(With Ichigo and Tatsuki)
"Hey Ichigo, you alright?"
"Yeah Tatsuki I'm all good."
She walks over to the bed and punches him.
"Ow what did you do that for?"
"I thought you told me you wouldn't ever lie to me. So how can you lie to me now, we promised didn't we."
Ichigo looked up from his knees. "You're right I shouldn't of said I was fine. I thought I was over my mother's death but Now that she's being brought up in regards To the spiritual world I just don't know what to think. How can a boy I've never met until recently have something to do with my mother?"
"I can't say I'm new to this so I don't have l0man answer. Kisuke said you had to talk with your father about it. I'm sure you will get your answers tomorrow. So cheer up."
He gave her a smile.
"Yeah your right I shouldn't let it bother me.for all I know this could make it easier for me to enlist his help." They both get off the bed and head back to the dining room.
Before he sits back down he bows. "I'm sorry for reacting that way."
"It's alright little one."
"Don't worry Ichigo, I know it's shocking but your father will explain everything tomorrow. Now sit down and eat your dinner."
"Alright Yoru."
(After dinner in Ichigo's room)
"Hey Ichigo"
"Yeah Tatsuki"
"I've been waiting but I think it's time I ask. What happened to you that day you got mad at Chaz?"
Ichigo looked at Tatsuki while grabbing at his necklace. Your probably also wondering why I started wearing this pendant. "
She nodded
"Well to answer your question there are these spiritual beings called hollows. There evil creature's, you will learn about them tomorrow. The reason why I attacked Chaz was due to a hollow that manifested in my soul. I wear this pendant to stop my inner hollow from influencing my thoughts and actions. This pendant absorbs the hollow reshi in my body then disperses it equally throughout my body. On occasions I can utilize the reshi to enhance one part of my physical attribute for a short time."
Tatsuki was stunned to find out that Ichigo has a monster inside of him. Without thinking she put her palms on his chest and closed her eyes.
"Tatsuki what are yo-"
"Shhh I'm trying to concentrate."
After Ichigo stopped talking she again focused on her hands and tried to will her power into Ichigo. At first nothing happened but then her consciousness started to bleed into ichigo's soul.
(Ichigo's soul)
As she opened her eyes she was met with pure darkness.she decided to close her eyes and reopen them. When she did the world around her was white and standing in front of her was a figure who slightly resembled a human but with claws, horns, a pair of wings and a tail. It was clocked in shadows and stood about seven feet three inches tall.
"You shouldn't be here little whelp."
The creature growled out as it stared down Tatsuki.
Tatsuki shuttered as it's voice reached her.
"Ar-are you the hollow Ichigo was talking about?"
"Hmm so the wyrmling Talks about me."
"Wyrmling, what do you mean?"
"Pah it's none of your concern whelp.
As I said you shouldn't be here."
As Tatsuki went to ask another question she felt a blanket of energy envelop her.
As her body began to turn pale and she started to feel cold. Before she lost consciousness she looked up to see the shadowed creature give a feral grin.
(Ichigo's bedroom)
"Tatsuki, hey can you hear me Tatsuki wake up."
Ichigo continued to shake the unconscious girl until he felt her stir.
"What happened?"
He gave her a big hug before crying.
"Thank Kami I was worried when you suddenly collapsed backwards. What happened to you?"
She sat up
"I accidentally entered your soul. I was trying to feel out the hollow reshi when my mind slipped into your soul. When I opened my eyes it was pitch black so I decided to close my eyes and open them again. When I opened my eyes for the second time I was met by a tall humanoid creature. It had wings, claws, horns and a tail. I asked if it was the hollow you were talking about.it just stared at me and called you a wyrmling. When I asked what it meant. I woke up to you shaking me."
Ichigo looked surprised before wiping the tears from his eyes. "I'm amazed you were able to enter my inner world even if it was an accident. But you meeting my hollow is a problem and why did it call me a wyrmling."
Ichigo took a moment to think about this situation before clapping his hands together. "I need you to keep this a secret from Yoruichi and Kisuke, I want to figure out the meaning behind this on my own."
As he finished he was slapped in the back of his head.
"Ow ow ow owww. What was that for?"
"You said we are comrades and now you want to figure this out on your own. I'm sure that pendant makes it impossible to communicate with your hollow. you need me to act as a mediator between the two of you."
"I don't want to needlessly put you into danger." She puts her hand on his shoulder. "It's not needlessly, you want to figure out what kind of creature lurks in your soul and I want to help you. It seemed like it was willing to answer one question so maybe if we try it will answer more."
"I see your reasoning but how do you know it will help."
"I don't, but it's worth a shot if we succeed you learn more about this creature and later down the line it may provide you help.this is only a theory however."
"Well no point worrying about it now. We'll test it tomorrow before you start your lessons. Also I think it's time for bed."
"Yeah you're probably right."
They both got comfortable on the bed before Ichigo leaned over and turned the lamp off.
"Goodnight Tatsuki"
"Goodnight Ichigo"
(Next Day)
Ichigo awoke at seven, when he tried to get out of bed he couldn't move his left arm. When he looked over he found Tatsuki holding his arm. Ichigo gave a light chuckle.
"Tatsuki it's time to wake up."
He received a groan before she lifted herself up letting go of his arm in the process.
"what time is it?"
"it's just after seven, I figured we could do some exercising and spar a little."
Tatsuki sprang up from the bed. "sure it's always a blast to spar with you."
The two got dressed and went into the kitchen to grab a couple waters. They then proceeded to the back yard.
"alright let's start off with twenty-five jumping jacks, twenty-five sit ups, twenty-five push-ups and ten laps around the backyard." She nodded and they started the routine.
(Half hour later)
After they finish they head over to get a drink before walking to opposite parts of the grass facing one another.
"alright the rules are simple no face shots and no low blows, agreed."
"Agreed"
They bowed respectfully towards one another before the match started.
"Begin"
They started off circling each other before Tatsuki made the first move. She moved towards him never breaking eye contact, then she struck with her left leg aiming for his side. Ichigo quickly brought his knee up to block. When her foot connected with his knee she threw a right hook. The hook connected with his left forearm. Ichigo went for an elbow shot to her shin but missed when she backed away. He decided to press the attack and caught up to her. The next few minutes were spent exchanging blows. Lefts, rights, knees, elbows. The kids tried everything to get the upper hand on one another. They both started to receive multiple hits and bruises
But neither wanted to back down. A few minutes later Tatsuki delivers a kick that successfully stagers Ichigo, she takes this moment to sweep his legs out from under him.
As he hits the ground he looks up to see Tatsuki grinning at him before she extends her hand. Ichigo gives a smile back before taking her hand. "Looks like I win again."
He laughs lightly "Yes it does, I'll just have to try harder next time." They shared a laugh before walking over to their water bottles. After getting a drink Tatsuki looked over to Ichigo.
"Hey Ichigo I think it's time we test out my theory." Ichigo gave her a look of consideration before sitting on the ground with his legs crossed. Tatsuki took this as a yes and sat down in front of him with her legs crossed. They locked hands and closed their eyes.
Tatsuki focused as she did last night and soon found her consciousness fade like before. When she opened her eyes she found the same opposing figure glaring at her as it did the first time.
"Here again welp I thought I made it clear that you shouldn't be here."
Tatsuki shook slightly under the sheer command in its tone. She then took a deep breath and looked at the creature.
"I've come here with a deal, if you would allow me to speak."
The figure tilted its head. "A deal well now you've caught my attention. You may speak however do so quickly i'm not very patient."
She gave a sigh of relief. "Thank you, the deal i'm proposing has to do with you specifically. Ichigo is looking for answers about you. Due to his necklace he can't contact you himself so i'm here in his place. We are willing to do one thing for you if you allow us to ask one question every time I enter his soul. Your request has to be reasonable."
"But of course I would never dream of making an unfair request. Now I believe these terms are acceptable. My request however is for the little wyrmling to take off that forsaken necklace of his."
Tatsuki gave the creature a questioning look. "Why do you want Ichigo to take off his necklace?"
"Well if I must answer Truthfully after that damn necklace was made I lost the ability of seeing things through his eyes. That's the reason I want the pendant gone."
"Alright if that's your reason for wanting it gone I'm sure I can convince Ichigo now then onto my question. Why do you refer to Ichigo as wyrmling?"
"At this time I will have to pass on that exact question. It is not time for him to know. So you may ask another question."
Tatsuki frowned at this but continued on.
"what are your intentions for Ichigo?"
"I can't fully answer that question either however i can say he has nothing to fear from me, I'm not his enemy and I'm not a danger to him or his loved ones. My purpose right now is to watch him grow up and nothing more.
"Tatsuki was taken aback by the answer but decided to let it be for now. Thank you for agreeing to this. You're not as bad as I thought you might be. By the way i never caught your name."
"hahaha I believe you said one question. I will tell you one day what my name is however today is not that day."
Tatsuki looked slightly disappointed that she wouldn't be getting the hollows name.
"Well then I'll leave you alone for now. I need to let Ichigo know what you told me."
She gave the hollow a slight smile before she vanished from her spot.
"Hehe such a strange girl, I can see why Ichigo likes her."
(Backyard)
Tatsuki's eyes fluttered open and the room around her came into focus. As she got up from her lying position she saw Ichigo waiting patiently.
"so what did my inner hollow say?"
"it said it would agree to answer one question a day. It also told me that you have no reason to fear it."
"can we trust what it says?"
Tatsuki nodded. "It didn't seem to have any other motives. It said it isn't a danger to you or your loved ones. It only wants to watch you grow up and it would like you to wear that necklace less so it can talk to you and so it can see through your eyes again.
Ichigo gave it some thought before nodding. "Alright I'll believe you however I'll have to think some more before I decide if I will take this pendant off or not."
They spent the next few minutes staring at each other. They were broken out of their trance by the sound of a door sliding open.
"so this is where the two of you were."
They both look over.
"Morning Yoruichi"
"Good morning Yoruichi"
She gave them a smile. "Good morning you two, breakfast will be done shortly so you both should go get washed up. Also Tatsuki we will start your lessons right after we eat."
Ichigo nodded while Tatsuki replied with yes Sensei. They both entered the house and quickly made their way to Ichigo's room before grabbing clothes. Tatsuki bathed first followed by Ichigo. They then made there way to the dinning room for breakfast.
After breakfast Yoruichi took Tatsuki to start her lessons while Kisuke and Ichigo headed for his father's house.
(Kurosaki Residence)
Ichigo ran up to the door, excited to see his sister's again. He knocked multiple times before going back to stand near kisuke. A few seconds passed before the door opened.
"Kurosaki Clinic how ca-, oh Kisuke, Ichigo it's good to see you both. I assume you're here to see the girls."
Ichigo nodded before bolting towards the stairs and the girls room.
Isshin looked at Kisuke. "I never would've expected you to accompany him I was sure it would've been Yoruichi."
"Yes well Ichigo asked me to come with him and Yoruichi is busy giving Tatsuki her first introductory lesson of soul society.
Isshin looked surprised "You got Tatsuki wrapped up in this. Don't you think that's a bit dangerous."
Kisuke chuckled "I've done no such thing this was Ichigo's choice he's putting together a Karakura defense squad and has enlisted the help of Tatsuki. However there is one problem with this, During school he bumped into a young boy and through contact he noticed the boy had a reserve comparable to him of spiritual energy. The boys name is Uryu Ishida so I'm sure you understand what this means."
Isshin gave a sigh. "I didn't think I'd have to tell him about his mother so soon. I guess I should go unseal the quincy cross Masaki had made for him."
"I know your worried but just remember who his parents are. You are Isshin Shiba former captain of squad 10 and wielder of the second most powerful fire type Zanpakuto, Engetsu. Your wife Masaki Kurosaki, was a pure blooded Quincy. She was hailed as the second coming of yhwach, she also defeated the Vasto Lorde White. Something you couldn't do."
"I know Kisuke but you know as well as I do what kind of man Sosuke Aizen is. The slightest bit of hesitation and this war will be over before it even begins. However I don't want Ichigo to get used to fighting."
"He won't Isshin, both I and Yoruichi will make sure of that. Him being a normal boy will always come before his training, however the more powers and abilities he has at his disposal the easier it might be to overtake Aizen."
"I know Kisuke that's why even though I disagree with this decision, I will tell him about this part of his heritage."
"Thank you Isshin."
(Twins room)
The two young girls were busy studying when they heard a knock at the door. Being slightly confused why someone she thought to be her father knocked on the door, Karin got up from her desk and opened the door only to freeze.
"Ichigo"
At hearing her brothers name Yuzu got out of her seat, running towards the door she jumped into Ichigo's arms before Karin did the same.
"Hey girls did you miss me?"
Karin pulled away from the hug before trying to direct her best scowl towards her older brother. "what gives Ichigo you haven't visited us in over a year, are you trying to make us worry."
"Come on karin let him be, I'm sure he was just busy with school work."
"No Karin is right I shouldn't of waited this long to come see you two, however you are half right Yuzu I have been busy but school work isn't what's been occupying my time. I'm sorry about not visiting I'll try harder to come here often."
Yuzu continued to hug her brother while Karin tried to keep her scowl on her face.
"Yeah well you better." she said before hugging him again.
So how are you two doing in school?
Yuzu and Karin smiled before grabbing their current report cards and handing them to Ichigo.
Ichigo looked over Yuzu's first.
"Let's see
Math A
Science B
History B
Art A
Language Arts A
Gym C
After looking over the report cards Ichigo nodded. "Very nice Yuzu keep it up and remember to try your hardest." He then pat her on the head. "Thank you Ichi-nii." she giggled as he pat her head.
He then turned to look at Karin well looking over her report card.
Math A
Science B
History A
Art C
Language Arts A-
Gym A
"Amazing grades as well Karin." He then pat her on the head. "Thanks Ichigo." she gave him a smile."
"I'm proud of both of you."
The girls both gave a smile before dragging Ichigo into their room.
As he sat down the twins sat across from him. "So how long are you here for this time Ichigo."
"Actually Karin I'm here for the entire day."
The girls looked at one another before smiling once more. " Hey Ichi-nii if it's not to much trouble could you help Karin and I with our homework we're having trouble with science."
Ichigo looked from one twin to the other.
"Sure why not."
(One Hour Later)
The three siblings emerged from the room and started towards the stairs. Ichigo was tapped on the arm before he could start his decent. He turned his head only to see his father with a serious look on his face.
"Ichigo can I talk with you a moment." Ichigo looked down at the girls. "Can you give us some time, go get some snacks and a movie ready I'll be down shortly." As the girls continued down the stairs Ichigo turned and followed his father into his room shutting the door behind him.
"What is this about father?" Isshin rubbed a hand through his hair. "I was hoping I didn't have to tell you this so soon but due to unforeseen events I now have no choice."
Ichigo looked at his father confused.
"It's time i reveal to you your mother's heritage and her connection to the young Uryu Ishida. As I'm sure you're aware our family Isn't normal and that is due to your mother. She comes from a group of individuals who call themselves the quincys. Spiritually aware human beings who can manipulate the reshi particles in the air to form weapons to fight hollows. They primarily use bows though. From what your mother has told me they have been at odds with the soul reapers for as long as the two groups have existed. Now this boy Uryu Ishida he is also a Quincy and your cousin."
Ichigo's jaw dropped at this news not only was his mother a spiritually aware human being but that this boy he hasn't even talked to is actually his cousin. He remembered his lessons on the Quincy massacre from two hundred years ago. They were hunted to near extinction by the Soul Reapers due to the Quincies abilities outright killing a Hollow instead of purifying the soul. He always wondered if he would be able to meet a Quincy during his life, but to find out that his mother was a Quincy and this Uryu kid is a Quincy. Ichigo stared at his father in utter disbelief.
"My mother was a Quincy." his eyes narrowed at his father as became angry. "When were you going to tell me that my mother was a Quincy or the fact that I had a cousin who is also a Quincy" Isshin was taken aback by his son yelling at him. "Honestly I never was going to. I know the type of person you are, there is no way you would've sat by as innocent people suffered and died at the hands of Hollows. You would've acted without thinking and used your Quincy powers to kill those Hollows. think what you must of me but know I did this for your safety. I didn't want the Soul Society to start hunting you, however with everything that is happening I know now that it's only a matter of time before you have contact with a soul reaper. all I ask is for you to be careful." Ichigo lowered his head ashamed of himself for yelling at his father. He knew he had no right to be angry especially when his father was only looking out for his safety.
Ichigo rose his head to speak but was cut off by his father patting his head. "You don't need to say anything I understand that you're frustrated but you don't need to apologize." Ichigo nodded before giving his father a hug. when they broke apart Ichigo got up from the bed and started to walk towards the door. "Hold on Ichigo I have a few things to give you." Ichigo turned around and sat on the bed while his father moved towards the closet. Before he could ask what they were his father pulled a trunk out of the bottom of the closet and set it on the bed before opening it. Ichigo was confused by the items in the trunk but didn't voice it. "Alright Ichigo as I pull these items out I'll give a breif description of there purpose."
he first pulled out a book "This one is self explanitory it's a Quincy training guide written by your mother for when you and the girls were old enough."
Next he pulled out a rectangular box that had the kanji for seal on it. "This is called a sanrei glove it is capable of improving a quincies capabilities however once you put it on you can never take it off again."
The third item was a white hooded cloak with a large light blue cross on its back. "Just a simple cloak that allows you to show your quincy pride."
The fourth and last item was a small square box that was handed to him. as he opened the box his father continued talking. "This Ichigo is the quincies weapon of choice. The quincy cross allows its user to form the reishi around them into a bow. a master of the quincy arts can form a solid bow without the use of a cross, but for beginners and younger quincies this cross acts as a medium for their power."
"There are other items in here but you are not ready for them. When you read the guide you will understand." as Ichigo got up and put the quincy cross on his wrist. Isshin took the time to put the other items back in the trunk. "You will take this trunk home with you tonight and you will start reading that book as soon as you are able." Ichigo nodded as he headed for the door once more only to hear his father speak. "one more thing Ichigo. Make your mother proud." Ichigo spun around before giving his father a huge grin. "you can count on it." He then opened the door and left. being left alone Isshin said one final thing "Good luck my son."
That will end the chapter.
A/N: Not much I can really say. I screwed up and focused more on video games and anime than I did this story. I'm sorry for that and I will try to do better because honestly you deserve better.
now then on another note I'd like to get my readers to be a bit more interactive in the story so I propose a game. each update I'll ask a question that's bleach related those of you who guess correctly can have one of these things happen.
(PM me the answer)
Number One: You can ask one question about the story.
Number Two: You can request for someone who died in the cannon-verse to survive in this story.
Number Three: You can create an original technique for any character that will be worked into the story.
Onto the question.
What is the name of Kenpachi Zaraki's Zanpakuto?
