Author Notes: Phew, finally done with the 1st arc, it was quite a taxing event I can tell you. Anyway, this will be a laid-back chapter after the intensity of the last fight. Also to serve as an introduction to the main man- Urahara himself. This is where things really deviate in the story, Xcution happens earlier because frankly, their power scaling belongs somewhere before Soul Society occurs. It looks like Aizen is finally cornered...or is he?
Ichigo is going to take time off from being the main Character so that the Karakura High School cast can shine. And on Ichigo's side of things- this is where the Ichigo of the original manga and the one for the prequel "Bleach: Strawberry-to-Deicide Re-Rinse", the follow-up prequel "Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Re-Rinse" and their sequel "Bleach Rinse"- begin to really diverge in terms of powers.
Also as a pre-spoiler- Captain of 3rd Division- Gin and Captain of 9th Division- Kaname aren't Aizen's allies in the story of this fanfic.
As a Disclaimer warning lewd content is heavily implied in this chapter as the fanfic will be containing more even darker and lewder content from now on. It will go from M to MA from here on out.
Chapter 16: King of New York, Candy Shop for Masks
Soul Society
Hankyo suddenly awoke as if she was sleeping for a long time, she was in her sarashi and her beautiful face along with her womanly figure were exposed. Her clothes laid on the cushion at the end of her bed
Hoseki, Zankoku, Eien and Kafka laid fast asleep on their beds on the right and left of her bed. She then realized-
So we're the 4th Division barracks...then I'm alive again...
She then bowed her head in prayer as she let out thin tears from her eyes.
I thank the Soul King for sending whoever brought me back from that hell...Thank you!, she said as she prayed to the ruler of Soul Society.
Rukia stood her back against the wall outside the room to overhear her once fallen comrades be brought back from the dead.
Orihime, Ichigo...the Soul Society is grateful for your actions, at least for now, she thought with a soft smile.
A highly nasally and high pitched voice began to speak.
Hello my name is Kon- short for Kaizō Konpaku (Modified Soul), I'm the King of New York, an Underpod- a Lower Part-Strengthened Form whose powers lies in the legs and I'm going to be a High School Student! I love the melons- every big one in the world- All belong to me! You're wondering wondering who I am really?
I was one of the Mod-Souls, Artificially Enhanced Souls that were created to be used to make normal people be able to fight Hollows. Just as I was born, it was deemed inhumane because it was seen as necromancy of the devil's work- so they were to be exterminated and forgotten. Luckily, a kind man decided to save all the Mod-Souls and brought us along with his freaky masked buddies to the World of the Living.
So for this reason, I respect the sanctity of life and will never kill.
And that sneaky man put us into stuffed animals and me into a stuffed lion doll! I'll get him for this. Maybe not, one of his buddies brought an orange haired teenager along with his glorious red head with the double Ds to our place. He had a Gigai (Faux Body) that was an exact copy of the kid- Gigais are special body suits identical to their Soul Reaper users to interact with the World of the Living. Anyway he decided that I should be his Gikon (Artificial Soul)- a special artificial soul made by the 12th Division in order to animate the Gigai in case the Soul Reaper wants to leave it and draw any attention of them suddenly falling unconscious. Well, they're usually the opposite personality of the person that has it.
As for me, I get to go to High School and see all of the beautiful-
Kurosaki Clinic
"The Karakura High School has been shut down until momentary notice- a freak snow storm occurred that caused damage to the school. So all faculty and students will have a break from school until the campus is rebuilt," said a news reporter on the television set in the center of the room.
Ichigo looked on with his jaw dropped as his siblings and his father looked on intently at the tv set.
"That's odd you're shocked about this- you said only went there because you had some people that you could relate to- though you'd deny how close they were- and you'd only study for classes because the teachers find your natural hair to be not proper for school," said a cynical girl. She had large, dark gray eyes and black hair that was straight and cropped to hang around her face, just above her shoulders. She wore a tank top with baggy shorts with white soccer shoes.
"And did you hear, there's rumors around town that the people who were in that snow storm can now see strange things- ghosts like Ichigo, you and even me to an extent. And stranger still, they're developing weird psychic powers I hear,"said a sweet sounding girl. She had short, light brown hair that had bangs parted to the left side of her forehead with a red hair clip on the right side of her hair. She had rounded eyes with dark-brown irises and a soft face. She wore a green hooded sweatshirt with a patted skirt with long white, ankle length socks ending in brown, neatly tied shoes.
"Karin, Yuzu- It is time to train for your brother to master his physique to manly proportions," said a man with upturned black hair and stubble on his face with a boisterous tone with a comedic frown on his face. He wore a doctor's coat over his red buttoned shirt with long gray pants ending in black shoes.
Ichigo then gulped in horror.
A Basement
Ichigo woke up- this was not the Ichigo that was hanging out with his family, but rather the one who had fought last night against the powerful Arrancar. He rose to a sitting position in a dark basement with a single lamp shining above the celling.
Ichigo looked to his right to see Orihime laying on a futon next to him, sleeping soundly. For an odd reason, a trail of orange liquid stains led from Orihime's futon to Ichigo's, the way it was arranged was that it ended where his bottom would be and began at the area of Orihime's private areas.
"Where am I,?" Ichigo said to himself as he wondered about the odd thing he noticed.
"Well, last night was insane. Long story short- you're a more than a regular Visored now- you're essentially a pure Hollow/Soul Reaper hybrid that will always manifest your Hollow mask in battle and it'll regenerate every time its broken. More on that later. You're underneath the Urahara Shop for a variety of supplies you won't find anywhere else also sells candy," said a jovial, eccentric and laid-back voice in the darkness that wasn't shown in the light.
"Why is Orihime here?," Ichigo asked the voice.
There was no response from the voice.
Suddenly, a group of eleven individuals suddenly opened a Shoji to the right side of the room where the two high school students were resting.
The first on the far left was the blond man Ichigo encountered at the gravesite- he had brown eyes and jaw-lengthhair with a straight cut and a facial expression that revealed his upper teeth. He wore trousers, shirt and tie, supplemented by a newsboy cap and long-coat. He did a "beh" sound to open his mouth to reveal his round ring pierced in the middle of his tongue
The second was a very short, brown eyed, blonde-haired girl with three freckles on each of cheeks- who wore her short hair in spiky pigtails with her bangs clipped together by three clips. She wore a white shirt and a red jogging suit, the latter with white lines running down from the shoulders and decorated with the first kanji of her name, as well as yellow flip flops. She had an overly long fang protruding from the upper left side of her mouth. The tired lines under eyes made her look haggard, implying it seem she was actually older than she looked.
The third was a long, diamond shaped, faced man with purple eyes, long, wavy, blond hair and a perpetually bored expression. He wore a black suit with a thigh-length, black jacket with matching black pants with white shoes. He also wore a white frilled shirt with large, frilled cuffs and high collar, which he kept untucked.
The fourth was a a tall man with brown eyes hidden by diagonal rectangular mirrored sunglasses and a thick black spiked afro with sideburns which adds further to his above average height; he sported a green jogging suit with white jogging shoes. His face was squared with a long rectangular chin with a thin goatee.
The fifth was a tall, muscular man with sharp features, short light-gray/silver hair and brown eyes. He wore a dark purple A-shirt with a white trim, in addition to green cargo pants, black combat boots, and a pair of orange fingerless gloves. He also has a series of piercings, with one on his left eyebrow and three on his left ear.
The sixth was a young woman with hazel eyes and lime green hair worn with her bangs worn in parallel directions of her forehead. She wore a white bodysuit with orange gloves, boots and scarf, along with a set of white goggles with blue colored lenses atop her her. The overall style resembled the Sentai suit superheroes of the 1970 TV shows.
The seventh was a very large and rotund man with a gentle expression. He wore an olive-green tuxedo with a yellow bow tie with matching pants and black dress shoes. He had golden eyes, a pink mustache and pink hair with a black cross-bone design in the center.
The eighth was a young adult woman with turquoise eyes, red oval glasses and long black hair. Her hair has bangs in the front and she keeps the back in a braided ponytail. She was currently in pink lingerie. This made Ichigo turn his gaze from her out of embarrassment.
The ninth was a tall, lean-built man with light skin and gray eyes. His hair was messy and light-blond (almost pale), with strands framing the sides of the face and hanging between his eyes, and he has chin stubble. He wore a dark green coat, which sported a white diamond pattern along its bottom half, with a dark green shirt and pants underneath. He carried a fan to hide his face. In addition to this, he wore traditional Japanese wooden geta sandals and a striped dark green and white bucket hat that shadowed his eyes.
The tenth was a slender and well-endowed woman of average height. She has medium toned dark skin, golden irises, and purple waist-length hair kept in a ponytail with chin-length bangs framing the sides of her face. A steam cloud covered her as she was completely nude to Ichigo's flustered, panicking expression.
And finally, the eleventh was a tall, muscular, lightly tan-skinned man. His hair was cornrowed and had a large handlebar mustache, which was connected to his long sideburns. He wore a pair of rectangular-shaped glasses. His attire consisted of a white muscle shirt with regular pants and a blue apron.
"You're going to learn to be an actual Soul Reaper being taught by the 11 of us. Lucky you," said the bucket hat wearing man to Ichigo.
"You two, Especially you- put on clothes before we talk," Ichigo said with a grave expression to the two women that were either barely anything to nothing at all.
Orihime continued sleeping with a smile on her face.
To Ichigo's shock, the eight of the eleven manifested white masks with varying designs.
I'm getting involved into weird things again. Better just go with it, Ichigo thought calmly.
Soul Society- 5th Division
A group of prominent individuals arrived at the 5th barracks- the Captains of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and the recently recovered 13th Divisions walked past the other Soul Reapers.
"The 11th Division Captain would have been too reckless. Aizen does not like fighting him- he doesn't go with the complex plans others offer- even enemies," said the 9th Captain with a serious tone.
"And 12th Division Captain said he would work on something to track Aizen if he were to escape," said the 3rd Captain teasingly.
"You lie, Aizen even at his kindest had this subtle overconfidence- he'd never run away from an inferior," the 2nd Captain retorted jadedly
"Though, he might try something to detain the Head Captain, myself, Captain Kuchiki and Captain Ukitake because their powers are more difficult to handle," the 4th Captain said with an eerie amusement.
"From what we received from Hoseki and the other resurrected Soul Reapers- his weakness is dealing with those who surpass his overwhelming power," said Captain Byakuya Kuchiki
"To think Aizen was capable of such atrocities to his own Soul Reapers- he's must be stopped for his sake as well as the sake of the Soul Society," said the the helmet wearing 7th Captain
"He is a merely a traitor," Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya said to himself with a mixed expression of regret and silent anger.
"I have a suspicion that Aizen's going to become more of a monster if we don't execute him now," said the 8th Captain with a surprisingly cold tone directed towards Hitsugaya.
"It seems that he is also responsible for the Visored incident that caused the former Captains of 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 12th Divisions, the Lieutenants of the 8th, 9th and the 12th Division and the Captain of the Kido Corps along with his own Lieutenant to leave the Soul Society- after what Sosuke Aizen has committed, having them rejoin the Squads would not be out of the question,"
The group then opened the door to Aizen's private quarters to see a startling sight-
Aizen with blank, glossy eyes that shined through his glasses lay against the bookshelf of the back of his room. A large gaping hole was in the center of his chest, completely bloodied with streams running to the floor.
While most of the Captains were horrified or shocked by the sight, the 1st Captain noticed some Hollow-esque Spiritual Power coming from the corpse.
So you resorted to even abandoning your identity as a Soul Reaper to achieve power, the 1st Captain thought with disgust.
Rukon District- No.100
Outside of the Soul Society is the Rukon District- where the Pluses and Hollows not evil enough to go to Hell arrive- it is not a paradise. In fact, the further the number goes- the more brutal it is. There are 320 Districts in total. If one is fortunate, then a unique person from the Districts can be selected to join the Seireitei- the central base of the Soul Reapers.
As the Soul Society focus on the body of the fallen Sosuke Aizen, somewhere in the 100th District- an odd thing occurred.
A white phantom-like figure with no mouth, solid purple eyes with a single light refraction, a flat topped head. Its outfit was a white cloak which split in four sections near itswaist. There is a cross in the middle of the cloak, showing where an round purple gem floating in midair in the center of the chest that had a Hollow like hole.
"I could no longer remain a mere Soul Reaper- Kyoka Suigetsu and Hogyoku...I must do this myself- I will become a being like the Soul King- though I need to raise my power in order to reach that level of magnitude" said the creature with Aizen's voice, distorted into a muffled echo.
A brutish thug accidentally bruises him as he escapes from his pursuers. He then noticed the white ghost like entity with confusion.
"This will not do, it is simple- Prey is supposed to wait for their hunter to eat them," said the creature as it suddenly manifested a square pattern, toothy maw and enlarged it like a snake jaw to swallow him alive.
Chapter 17: Xcute the Quincy War Plan
