What's up? I'm back.
So an anonymous friend has been helping me with some constructive criticism and good comments, basically saying what I have done well and what I can do better and change around in the story so that it does not seem like I am just following canon. I am grateful for them doing that cause it helps me grow as a writer and really keeps me wanting to continue writing the story.
I also got some help from a fellow author named Momentei for my translations for Bennett's and Randy's Zanpakuto. They got a pretty accurate translation for the names and the names are pretty close to what I originally wanted, albeit a little different, but it's no big deal.
Bennett's Shikai is Shugetsu (Screaming Moon) and his Bankai is Kijin Shugetsu (Demon Blade Screaming Moon). And Randy's Shikai is Gaigetsu (Reaping Moon) and his Bankai is Rokuhei Gaigetsu (Divine Death Reaping Moon).
Also, for those who don't know what Lego Universe is, I shall explain. Lego Universe was a MMOG created by Lego and another company called NetDevil. It was set in a universe that was entirely made up of Lego Minifigures for inhabitants and a lot of each world featured in the game had Lego pieces making up the worlds. You basically fought against an enemy called the Maelstrom consisting of things like creatures and Minifigures that were corrupted into darker versions of themselves. There were many different activities involved. You could smash enemies, build on your own properties, race against other players on racetracks, and other activities. There were 4 different factions to join and you received a specialty kit when you joined a faction. Collecting faction tokens by smashing enemies and earning faction token bags that were rewards for completing achievements was a major part of getting better gear. You used those tokens to buy higher rank gear in order to fight tougher enemies.
It was a major part of my childhood and I used to come home every day from school to play it on my computer. I loved it and it gave me a sense of comfort from the cruel kids that bullied me because of my disability. I struggled a lot because of it and Lego Universe made me happy and not sad from not being able to make a lot of friends in school. Unfortunately, it lasted for less than 2 years because not enough players were paying for the full game and they instead were playing in the Free-to-Play zone and its servers were shut down in January of 2012. I had lost my main coping mechanism that I used for the longest time and it was heartbreaking. I remember tearing up and crying my heart out when I saw the video that Lego released detailing the game's journey up until its closure.
However, sometime in the last year I discovered that there was a big project going on that was trying to recreate the game and make it just like it was when it was live. The project was a server emulator called Darkflame Universe. It has been in the works for quite a bit of time and (although I am not sure about this one part) is in between the Alpha and Beta phases. This made me extremely happy that a game that I loved so dearly was coming back into reality. I suggest you check out both Lego Universe and Darkflame Universe. There is a series of walkthrough gameplay videos that go through all the missions in the original game on Youtube and if you watch the videos, they can give a better picture of what the game looked like when it was still running.
Alright, on with the show.

When Bennett woke up from passing out, he was in an area filled with grass and trees situated in between two mountain ranges. He held his head and groaned. "What the hell hit me so hard? Last thing I remember was a rush of power entering my body, then we killed that creature." He sat up and looked around. "Not bad. It's quiet here, but where am I?"
The false delinquent walked around for a bit, looking for anyone to tell him where he was currently at. Just when he was about to give up, a voice interrupted his thoughts. "Well, look who finally decided to wake up and grace us with his presence." He whirled around in shock, his eyes coming into contact with two figures a few yards away from him. The Western enthusiast narrowed his eyes at them, suspicious of who they were, but yet at the same time oddly calm while having the strange feeling that he knew these two people..
The first person was a tanned young adult male dressed in an outfit that was considered to be punk. His red hair was styled into a mohawk and he had a few metal nuts and bolts for facial piercings. Combat boots adorned his feet while black leather pants covered his legs with a studded belt holding them up. A leather jacket with the sleeves cut off was his top and fingerless gloves finished off the attire.
To his left was a teenage male whose attire was only the lower body portion of a normal Soul Reaper uniform. His upper body was bare and muscled with pale skin, which looked bleached now that Bennett thought about it, and sported tattoos on his arms and torso which reached up to his neck and his hair, just like his counterpart, was also cut into a mohawk, except this person's hair was white and dyed in the same spots the exact color of Bennett's hair. He looked eerily similar to Bennett in that their faces were the same, but the eyes were different, they were gold and black instead of the blue of his own eyes.
The red-haired male snorted. "Calm down, it's not like he had a choice in the matter. If Isshin was waiting to tell him and his siblings about their unique heritage, then now might be the best time to do so because they just got drawn into a whole new world and they will need all their strength to defeat that manipulative bastard." He looked at the teen he was talking about. "You are probably wondering who we are, you'll find out soon enough."
"Hey, wait!" That was not the answer Bennett was expecting from them. And why did one of the two people look like him?
"Kid, don't worry, we'll still be here. This is your Inner World after all. And in the meantime, go talk to that hot chick that's in here with you. I think you'll like her." said his lookalike. They disappeared into thin air, leaving a tingling running down his spine.
Bennett groaned. "Wait... there's someone else here with me?! Absolutely terrific."
He decided to sit back down and wait for the unknown person to make their way to him, laying down in the grass and folding his arms behind his head, just staring at the scenery before him.
"Where am I? This is not Los Noches or Hueco Mundo, so what is this place?" said a beautiful blonde woman in her teens with tanned skin and clothed in white robes who was wandering around the area. The woman remembered falling asleep in her palace, then she woke up here. She wondered where the other Espada were and if this was some illusion created by the man her fellow Arrancar followed. She did not dare call him her leader because she did not trust him nor would she ever. She knew that he was power hungry and extremely powerful as well as manipulative and was using her species as disposable tools, not invaluable comrades. The man may have given the woman and her subordinates power to protect themselves, but they were trying to find a way to get out from under his thumb.
She remembered hearing stories about her predecessor, the one that was attacked and betrayed by another Espada, subsequently disappearing after the attack and was never heard from again, with no discipline being handed down to the offending party. She also suspected that he may have had given the go-ahead because the former Espada did not like to fight without a solid reason.
Her mind traveled back to the issue at hand: where she was at the moment. It was quite nice and peaceful, nothing like Hueco Mundo where everything was centered around fighting, killing, and devouring others. But was there anyone else here? It didn't seem like it.
The woman was shaken out of her thoughts as she heard a groan from up ahead. She looked up and saw a teenage male laying in the grass. Taking a closer look, she saw he had multiple different colors in his hair, which was styled somewhat similar to Zommari's mask fragment, except it was much larger and made of actual hair. He was dressed in mostly black and gold clothes, covering his toned physique. When she took a closer look at his face, her cheeks began to flush, not that anyone could tell from under her jacket. He was very handsome, more so than anyone else she had met. She decided to speak up to get his attention. "Hello?"
The boy shot up, eyes looking around wildly in surprise. She had startled him a little bit. Once he saw her, he began to calm down. He looked closer and the uncovered portion of her face showed itself to him. Just like the woman had when she saw him, his own face began to heat up. He whispered, "Beautiful." The girl heard him though and blushed even more from the compliment.
'What is it about this boy that draws me in so much?' she wondered, wanting to know more about the boy in front of her.
"Uh, hi. I'm Benetto Kurosaki, but my family and friends call me Bennett. Who are you?" Bennett asked.
"I'm Tia Halibel. Do you know where we are?" replied Tia, asking a question in turn.
"There were two guys who disappeared earlier, one of them said it was my Inner World. The other said something else about my 'unique heritage.' Don't know what that means though."
"You're a Soul Reaper?" This alarmed her, but the "unique heritage" part caught her attention.
Bennett shook his head. "You mean like that girl in black robes who tried fighting that Hollow who was after my family last night? No, I'm human, have been all my life."
"But how can you have an Inner World if you're not a Soul Reaper?" It made Tia wonder if he knew of these boys. The busty blonde girl did not want for Bennett to get hunted by her allies because it would mean certain death for him and she wanted to know more about him.
Bennett told her he did not know and explained to Tia what exactly had happened the day before, from the encounter in the city to him and his brothers purifying the Hollow during the night. She listened and was astonished at what he did to save his family. It hit close to home for her because her subordinates would put their lives on the line to protect her and her philosophy in life was tied to sacrifice. 'He tried to attack a Hollow, knowing that he might be killed and he did it anyway, all to save his younger sibling. He truly cares for his family.'
Unknown to her, or maybe she was aware of it, but didn't understand or realize it, she was beginning to develop a soft spot, possibly even feelings, for the raven-haired teen. When she asked about his family and what they were like and he described his twin brothers with enthusiasm as well as their younger siblings with a certain fondness (especially Karin, Tia's intuition told her he was just as close with her as his brothers, if not closer), it began to grow.
On the other hand, the owner of the Inner World was ecstatic. He was finally talking to a girl, an extremely gorgeous one too, he could approach without problems. He didn't know it, but he and his brothers were highly sought after by the female population of the high school. He didn't have time for a relationship, plus he wasn't interested in any girls at the moment. His lifestyle sometimes drove them off and if they could not take the time to understand him and his choices, he had no time for them anyway. But this girl, she was not afraid of him and she seemed genuinely interested in talking to him and wanting to know him better. Oh, he was definitely crushing on her big time.
They continued talking and the two became fast friends. Both felt comfort and happiness with each other, something that Tia had not known in her life and Bennett had not felt with the opposite gender. However, the moment was not to last.
Bennett felt a hand on each shoulder, each hand belonging to two different people. He turned and saw the two young adults he met earlier.
"Bennett, you need to wake up. You can talk to your girlfriend some other time. Tia will be here again. You two are connected in more ways than you can imagine." his carbon copy slyly said, finishing off his statement with a phrase that sounded like he knew something they didn't. The tanned blonde and punk both went fire engine red in the face at the look-a-like's words. That changed to looks of hopefulness when they heard the pale teen's words about seeing each other again.
"Okay, I will see you again, Tia."
"As will I, Bennett."
"So Nelliel, what's with the skull on your head? It's not a fashion statement, is it? Because that would be one bizarre hat." said a confused Randi Kurosaki. He was currently talking to a good-looking teal-haired woman in the middle of a set of ruins that looked to be quite ancient. If one took a long look at them, they would look somewhat similar to ancient ruins in Greece, but Randy did not have time to dwell on that fact. He was currently focusing on the female talking to him.
The girl was hot to say the least. She had long flowing aquamarine hair that went down her back and he took note of the tattoo-like mark crossing her nose and cheeks. She possessed a set of long creamy legs which seemed to go on forever, but no footwear covering her feet. Her clothes consisted of a strip of green fabric which somewhat covered her well endowed chest which had another fabric strip covering her pelvic region connected to it by yet another strip, except this one was string like and stretched across her stomach. What caught the teenager's attention was a cracked ram's skull sitting atop her head like it was part of her anatomy. It was weird, yet oddly suitable for her at the same time, like it was a representation of herself.
The female, who had earlier introduced herself as Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck, giggled at his comment. "I guess it would be weird if it was a hat. And just call me Nel, if you want. To answer your question, it's my mask fragment."
Okay, that was different. "Mask fragment, as in previously part of a mask?"
"Yes, silly," Nel said, giggling more. "It's what remains of my mask when I was a..." she trailed off at the end, looking sad when remembering the memories of what she previously was before changing into her current state of evolution. Randy did not mean to upset her, but from the depressed look on her face, he unintentionally did so. He felt like a colossal jerk, he'd made a girl sad.
He shifted back and forth on his feet. "Hey, you don't have to tell me if it makes you upset. I don't want you to cry." Randy moved forward and did something that surprised Nel. He hugged her, wrapping his muscled arms around her and rubbing her back soothingly.
Nel was shocked at first, but melted into the warm embrace like butter. He felt quite warm, something she usually didn't feel in the cold everlasting night of Hueco Mundo. She tilted her head toward him and sighed in content. This was nice. She could stay like this forever and not have a care in the world.
Randy said, "Do you feel better now?" She nodded and pulled away a little bit. She didn't want to, but if she continued to stay like that with him, she would not learn anything about him.
Nel asked him about his life and what it was like. The teen told her about how he was close with his brothers and Yuzu, he talked about their complete idiot of a patriarch and how he acted like a man-baby every time the brothers came home from school, attacking them at the worst times of the day, trying to dropkick his ginger brother in the morning when he woke up, jumping on his mohawk-sporting brother from the second floor when he would leave to go somewhere, and attempting to tackle Randy while he was around the house. She learned from Randy that Isshin would try and switch it up a lot to keep them off guard, but most of the time it did not work. Nel laughed at his antics and she could definitely see Pesche and Dondochakka getting along with Isshin.
Then he asked her about her life and she gave enough detail and truth so that he would not ask any further about her past, seeing as she didn't want Randy to know of her past association with the Arrancar forces. It was a dark mark on her past and one she hated and was not proud of. He didn't pry any further, much to her relief. Nel didn't know if she could handle the rejection if Randy found out what she was and wanted nothing to do with her. He was one of the few people she felt at ease around, the others being her Fraccion, and the busty Arrancar did not want to lose that or his friendship.
They sat down in a grass patch away from the ruins and discussed their interests. She learned that he was a huge rock fanatic and listened to bands that were considered nu metal and so did his brothers. From her vast knowledge (which was required by their leader to know if they had to go to the human world for reconnaissance purposes to blend in with the humans), rock music was usually created by guitars and drums and had a vast culture surrounding it. On top of that, Nel found out all of them had a rabid obsession with video games and it sometimes caused fights between the brothers when conflicts happened while playing games. She giggled at the names they called each other as they were quite hilarious.
Randy, to his surprise, learned that she liked rock as well and also alternative, but she couldn't stand country musicand was an avid reader in her spare time. He didn't think Nel would be into that type of music, he figured she would be into pop, a genre which he believed had majorly gone down in quality since the start of the early 2010's, and he also didn't peg her to be studious.
Without warning, her form started fading away. "Nel, what's happening to you?!"
"She's just waking up. There's no need to panic." said a voice belonging to a man who was familiar to Randy. He had talked with him and a second person earlier when he had awakened in the ruins. The man tried to tell the teen their name, but Randy could not understand him when he spoke.
"Oh. Well, Nel, will I get to see you again?" said Randy. He was really hoping she would say yes. Randy had felt this pang of anxiousness in his chest when he thought she would be leaving and never see him again. He thought it was nothing, though he had a sneaking suspicion in the back of his head he knew it wasn't.
The girl smiled. "I think so, just don't forget about me when you wake up, okay?" Her body was becoming more and more transparent as she spoke.
"Forget about someone as gorgeous as you? That won't happen."
She widened her eyes and reddened visibly just as she disappeared.
Randy sighed, then turned to face the man who had spoken. To his surprise, both people he had spoken to earlier were there. He looked at them with a critical eye, when he met they did not seem hostile, but he did not know who they were. They felt like aspects of something, but he couldn't figure out what they were part of. Oh well, he had time to find out later.
The man that had spoken earlier to Randy was tall and had long blond hair and peach-colored skin. He was wearing a nice shirt with the buttons done up and a gray knee-length trench coat that was open and had the collar upturned. Tan slacks adorned his legs and a pair of heeled boots were on his feet. He looked like a private investigator that was staking out a place in their car or a business man that had just come back from a day at the office.
The person next to the blond man, however, looked nothing like the man at all. In all honesty, he could be compared to the spiky haired teen himself, albeit a more hardcore version who had the same appearance. He had white hair in a spiky quiff and had a very similar look to the albino in Bennett's Inner World, except the upper half of the Soul Reaper robes were replaced with a zippered-up biker jacket that fit snugly on his upper body.
All three males stood there quietly, contemplating what to say to each other. A handful of seconds passed before Randy decided to break the ominous silence.
"So, are you two going to tell me how Nel appeared in this place?" he asked the two men standing in front of him. The duplicate snickered, clearly signaling to Randy that he knew what was going on.
"Well, Randy, that hot chick with the huge rack is special. Because she was able to enter in your Inner World, that means she is soul-bonded to you and I'm sure at least one of your brothers has a bond with another woman like her. It might be Ichigo, it might be Bennett, or it could be both. But your case is special as is theirs. Because of her species and your heritage, you are basically mates. I suspect it is the same with at least one of the other two." said the albino copy.
Randy was freaking out. It sounded like he was married to her. It didn't seem so bad, he really liked Nel, but at the same time he was only 15 and so were his brothers. They were too young to get into this. "Oh boy, so I'm basically married to her?"
The other man said, "No, you're just meant to end up together. I guess a more appropriate term would be soulmates. Anyway, you should really wake up now. Talk to your brothers about what happened last night, and maybe talk to your father about this. He knows more than he lets on, seeing as he and your mother are responsible for you having dormant spiritual powers in the first place."
Ichigo was weirded out. He was talking to a bleached copy of himself with gold and black eyes and in a reverse-colored Soul Reaper uniform and an older long haired, bearded, sunglasses-wearing man in a coat and he was standing in a sideways city on the side of a building. Did this have something to do with that midget girl that appeared last night? If it did, she was going to have to explain more about Soul Reapers and Hollows and whatever she got him, Randy, and Bennett into.
What made the situation more freaky was that the orange-haired teen felt connected to these two beings on a spiritual level. 'I don't know why there is a connection between myself and them, but I need to find out.' he thought, stopping his pondering and the current conversation to ask the two who exactly they were. The answer surprised him.
"Hehe... we're your Zanpakuto spirits, King. We're basically a representation of your soul. Face it, King, we are you!"
Ichigo shouted back, "Huh? That... makes no damn sense!"
His bleached twin crossed his arms. "Humph... figures you wouldn't know shit. Alright, old man, you wanna take over?" He gestured to the man, hoping the other spirit would do a better job of explaining to this kid.
"Ichigo, did Rukia not explain what a Zanpakuto does or what it is?"
The ginger stopped for a minute at the question to think. "She did, but never gave much detail other than it purifies hollows. There's something special about them, isn't there?"
"Indeed, you picked up quickly on that. Zanpakutos are essentially weapons that are reflections of a Soul Reaper's soul. All Soul Reapers start off with a nameless Zanpakuto called Asauchi and there are two stages of power advancement for a Zanpakuto: Shikai, and Bankai. Shikai is the first stage. A Soul Reaper has to learn their Zanpakuto's name and release command to gain that level of power. It's generally known by seated officers and the lieutenants and captains of the 13 Court Guard Squads. The shape of the first stage is influenced by the Soul Reaper's daily life. Everything they do decides what shape their weapon will take when achieved. The final level of power is Bankai. Very few Soul Reapers have ever achieved this power, meaning the captains have it as well as a select few lieutenants. This stage can take years to achieve, simply because the wielder has to know and learn everything about and converse endlessly with their Zanpakuto spirit. It is a great increase of power for the wielder, for it is the epitome of their strength."
Ichigo wanted to know more but the older male quickly said, "In time, we will teach you more about your power. Promise us you won't do anything stupid to get yourself killed in the meantime."
He nodded. Both spirits were relieved. Now they could get to a more important topic: Ichigo and his brothers' unique heritage. The spirits told them he was a human and yet at the same time a naturally-born hybrid between a Soul Reaper, Hollow, and a third spiritual faction, which the old man promised he would reveal the faction when the brothers met someone else in Karakura Town who was a part of it or when his father would explain how exactly they came to be. Ichigo was pissed. His father not only wouldn't stop being immature, but now it was apparent Isshin was hiding secrets from them about his past and their mother. He'd figured out from the words his spirits said that the Kurosaki matriarch was somehow part of this as well, because to be a hybrid, he'd have to have been born from two different species, but the strawberry blond didn't know how involved Masaki was.
His anger was interrupted by the old man clearing his throat. "Now's not the time to be mad, Ichigo. Yes, he should have told you sooner before you got dragged into the supernatural world, but what's done is done. You need to wake up. After the attack last night, your entire life, along with your brothers' as well, will change forever. We'll talk later."
It was morning and the sun was rising on the town. The Kurosaki family was still sleeping in their beds, seemingly unaware of the attack on their residence last night and slowly but surely, the town was waking up for a new day...
"GOOD MORNING, BENNETT!" Three guesses to who that was?
Isshin came flying in from the window in the raven-haired boy's room, attempting to tackle him, but Bennett quickly jumped out of bed and speared his father, flattening the man on the floor like a pancake.
"Damn it, you old geezer! For once, could you not do that to us?" yelled the teen, pissed that his stupid dad decided to do this shit again.
His father managed to croak out, "You're learning, my son... not much more to teach you... gah, you hit like a freight train!" He started groaning in pain. He was definitely going to feel that one later. 'Damn, he's strong, he has been for some time now. Looks like his hollow side and Soul Reaper side are starting to show for Bennett... and I suspect it's the same with Randy and Ichigo.'
The tallest member of the family glared at the prickly-faced moron. "I should hope that hitting you that hard would teach you a lesson, but knowing you, you would just keep on with your antics," He then remembered what he talked about with his Zanpakuto spirits. "I don't have time for this. I need to talk to the others." He opened the door and walked down the hall to Ichigo's door. He knocked on it, hoping that the ginger was up or at least heard him knocking.
Ichigo opened the door, expecting Yuzu to be calling him down for breakfast, but finding Bennett instead. "What is it?
Bennett looked around quickly as if he was afraid of there being a possibility someone was watching them. "I have two people inside my mind. I'm going to take a wild guess here and say you have something similar. Am I right?"
Ichigo widened his eyes. He'd thought last night and who he talked to in his mind was all part of a crazy dream, but seeing as that his brother was confirming that it wasn't, he nodded and looked toward Randy's room. Bennett followed his gaze and looked at the same area. He motioned Ichigo to follow him and they moved in front of their sibling's door.
Cue the dumb blond joke. "Yo, Randy! Get your dumb blond ass out of bed! We got something to discuss, all of us."
Angry footsteps could be here coming toward the door and the door swung open. In the doorway stood the glaring teen who immediately growled, "Why don't you say that again? Go ahead, say what you just said again."
"Easy, bro. That was just to get you up, now come on, we need to talk about last night." They all walked inside Randy's room and shut the door. The boys began discussing what they could recall about the previous evening's incident, in addition to who they talked to in their respective Inner Worlds.
As the orangette told his siblings about the spirits encountered and their conversation, Bennett and Randy realized something. Isshin was hiding something major from them about his past and himself and each of them having two Zanpakuto spirits was no coincidence. Not only that, but the fact that one of their spirits in each of their minds were similar to each other meant there was a connection between all of them, and taking into account what Ichigo's spirit said, that the siblings were special because of their hybrid nature. They made an agreement between each other to confront their father and force him to reveal everything.
When Ichigo heard about the hot women that appeared in his brothers' minds, he started teasing them. However, it came to a head when he poked fun about the two having a crush on their respective guests.
Ichigo snickered, "Do big, bad Benetto and tough as nails Randi have crushes on their female guests?"
They both yelled at the same time, "DAMN RIGHT I DO!" Both of the false delinquents calmed down after that.
"Woah, really?" Ichigo was shocked. He knew they weren't attracted to any girls at school, but to hear that both had a crush on girls they just met threw him for a loop.
"Sorry about that, bro, but Tia is someone special. She doesn't look at me in disgust at my lifestyle and she's not afraid of me. She's drop-dead gorgeous, I feel at ease around her, and it feels like we're meant for each other in a special way."
Randy looked thoughtful at the last part in Bennett's sentence. "I might have an answer for that. My spirits told me that, due to our hybrid nature and Nel's species, we have a soul-bond and it's sort of like we are soulmates. It sounds like Tia is the same species as Nel and you two share a soul-bond and are soulmates as well. Anyway, I feel the same about Nel and I'm not going to doubt my spirits' words. They're reflections of my soul and have no reason to lie to me. If they did, it'd be like lying to myself."
Ichigo was immediately remorseful about teasing his brothers. He was always close with them and did not want to lose that. "If that's the case, then who's my soulmate? Why did I only meet my Zanpakuto spirits?"
"I think since you didn't meet someone of Tia and Nel's species, it must be different for you. You might not be able to meet her in your Inner World, but something tells me you will meet her soon."
"Okay, I'll trust you on that. Now let's go talk with dear old Dad about what exactly we are."
"Agreed."
"Ditto."
The brothers got dressed and went downstairs, where Yuzu had already prepared breakfast. After eating and waiting for her and Karin to leave for school, they cornered Isshin, who was sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee and reading the morning newspaper. Surrounding him on all sides, Ichigo cleared his throat.
Their father looked up at them. "What can I do for you, my wonderful sons?"
They looked at each other, then back at him. "Cut the crap, old man. We need to talk."
Isshin knew he was not going to like this from the look on their faces. Pure fury could be seen, barely restrained and ready to be let out at a moment's notice. He weakly asked, "About what?"
"About you being a Soul Reaper, Mom being part of a spiritual faction, and us being naturally human-born hybrids of three different species."
The grizzled man froze. "Who told you that?"
"Our Zanpakuto spirits. We want answers, dad. Who or what are we?"
Isshin slammed his head on the table. "God damn it."
What do you guys think so far? Please review, and don't flame me. I do not appreciate it. I already had one guest be a complete jerk and flame without reason. Don't be like them and try to make me feel bad.
However, if you want to try to help me improve this story, leave constructive criticism or tell me what I did well.
Still looking for people that would like to help me with this story or be a co-author. It would really help me big time and give me a second viewpoint.
On a happy note... HELL YEAH, BLEACH IS COMING BACK!
That being said, I'm still only doing the original run of the anime. Maybe in time when the final season comes out and if I watch it (I have heard that the Thousand Year Blood War arc ended up being not that good and a bit of a disappointment, even though I have not read the manga. I mean, really, Kubo? You have our favorite badass Substitute Soul Reaper marry the one girl who basically did nothing the entire series and you could not find him a better girlfriend/wife? Yoruichi showed him her nude body continuously, in which I still believe to this very day that it was to get him to take an interest in her, Tia had a philosophy and aspect of death which she could relate to Ichigo better than probably anyone else in the series ever could because he would fight to protect the ones he cared for, and Kubo definitely could have had them meet each other and be attracted to one another, and Nel became a good friend of Ichigo's and it is painfully obvious she cares a lot for him), I might do write a version of it, but that's a long ways off.
Crash, out.
