The next day came fast! Ichigo was moving around his smaller sword his son copying him he sighed! The woods around them had ruins of a lost shockingly modern civilization it was hiow Orihime got the fabric to make cheeah's outfit.
Right now the ruins of the original lost everyone was immortal as death did not exist to seal up hell yet world where the farthest thing form his mind! Well maybe the back of his head was thinking of the legends of lost cities and countries where what the beast realm was the incarnation slash the bases for them.
Ichigo's Focus was on his son who had looked depressed sense arriving! He could figure out a lot about this interaction and how we got here! His son was a soul reaper! He was probably just moving a ghost on and the ghost got sucked to hell.
then while the hellgate was open one of the fallen reapers now part of hell's staff spotted him and probably said 'Hay you look like Ichigo' Kazui then probably said 'that's my dad' And it all spiraled down form their!
Even the freaky look of the hell bound Probably didn't phase him as he is use to vizards, Arrancars fullbringers, and other weird stuff That knows him! he sighed," Son we need to talk about this!"
Kazui looked down sadly Ichigo put his sword up and got down, "Look Son look at me! I am not mad I know this probably started with you moved a soul over it went to hell and one of my old friends down their spotted you and comment on you being chibi Me! and it spiraled down their!"
the liger looked down, "they gave me a portal Kido that sends souls to resting place! What I all the souls I moved their came here, or where just fuels for this crazy idea of a reward!" he cried and Ichigo hugged him as he said, "We most find out first! Try the portal!"
Kazui did his three claps Two bows and a final clap and the portal opened up but it was just a line of teeth and he looked down, "Well At least I wasn't fueling an infernal machine!"
the portal didn't lead anywhere as they where already in the beast realm! Ichigo held his face," just braking the system why don't you!" he sighed, "Look son this isn't your fault! You are young! You view the world in black in white terms of Shinigami hunt monsters and try to stop monsters form happening so they have to be the good guys and the monsters the bad guys!"
Kazui sat down putting his sword up as Ichigo sat down, "but that's not how life or death works! It's all shades of Grey! Lots of reapers can be evil and a lot of hollows can be good! Like when we had to rescue your mother Nel her two hollow brothers and their pet helped us! They where heroic hollows helping us take down a group lead by evil reapers!"
the eleven year hold Liger held his face," .. so they took advantage of the fact I am young and stupid!"
Ichigo rolled his eyes and said," stupid is when you should know better! You aren't stupid! They weren't strangers I told you all about them So you knew they where people I knew instead of strangers! Look I pet they said if you helped it would be a great surprise for your parents and you want to make us happy"
Kazui nodded sadly as Ichigo put an arm around him, "Look Son they are tricksters we all fall for them! hell I feel for tricksters when I lost my powers and found out about fullbring and I could use my still their hollow powers to replace slash respark my old soul reaper powers! It end with my new powers getting stolen and me needing a jumpstart form a large group of people to get my powers back at full strength! And he was able to brainwash Chad and your mom because I fell for it! this is no different!"
the Little Liger looked up and said, "So when does it end when do you know who you can trust and who you can't?"
Ichigo sighed as he looked up to the sky it was red and all he said was, "it doesn't tricksters are always out their Always ready to take advantage of us at our lowest , We just have to be on guard! Finding a new friend that's easy, finding a trickster that is harder than quantum mechanics!"
the Liger had a sad smile and cuddled up to his father purring a little bit form the talk. Ichigo meanwhile was thinking about if he did end up in hell everyone's who's Ass he would have to kick slash cut off!
Later on the gathered family where walking along a path! Cheeah holding the badge necklace tightly as she remained closed.
the Path was a dirt road mixed with some stone, and some left over real road parts. Orihime held her chin as she said, "you know it's weird no plants growing in it! like they have been crushed and killed Many times over like something still travel this road!"
they then heard something and quickly stepped off as they looked down to dust clouds coming up as Ichigo said," you can see the super natural with out having power in the normal world so may be the version of that here is have a mind with no powers!" he said hand on his smaller blade it was the quicker of his shikai to draw if need be!
it came up a horse drawn carriage. Some how the horse was normal not an anthro like the other animals in this world.
the driver was an Anthro looked to be a Black wolf dressed in a Victorian area suit! Male red eyes and top hat. Beside him was a woman an anthro raven dressed in a Sarong of white, a white fabric tied around her chest white bandages around her talon foot and taloned forearms.
the wolf lifted his hat," top of the evening to you! you can put your hands off your swords young lady and baby Tiger! I a ma trader not a fighter! Same as my wife!"
the Wolf looked around how quick Ichigo was to draw and the fact the Cheetah stood out make it seem to him the logical thing was the family he came across had to flee a village form a bandit attack or something and they picked up the now orphaned Cheetah lady out of some kind of bound with her family.
Ichigo stood up and saw a poster reading wonder beast Arena with the pictured of a chain collared anthro with some kind of fullbring sword fighting some kind of monster his eyes growled at it. " is that a slave fight arena!"
the Raven rolled her eyes," they willingly sold themselves to fight for Money and then be freed after winning ten matches in a row to collect their money!"
Orihime held her chin," Gee what If they die or don't win then matches in a row?"
The wolf put his hat on, "cash goes to the next of kin! you most come form a slave fighter free area! I don't like it either! but the arena pays me to ride around with the poster to aid it on my way to and form spreading the word! It's a simple trade I be their Aid! I get paid and always have box seats! By chance would you lot need a ride? You seem like a swordsmen who could handle it!"
Ichigo said," one moment to talk it over!" the four cats turned to speak as Ichigo said," We need money this could be a chance I have my bankai! And powers are still a thing here!"
Orihime then pointed and said," The wife hasn't said a word either she is trained mindless mute, or just doesn't want to speak! Plus I natural don't trust a woman who's chest size is equal or greater then mine! On the other sizes and back side I still win but it's enough to be suspicious!"
Kazui shrugged and blinked," I don't understand Mom's mind! But don't ask me last time I trusted someone they bite my whole family in my backside!"
cheeah then added, "I only had a brain for a day I don't know anything! But Dad is the only one honestly saying something!"
Ichigo turned and said," we'll take the ride we need the cash form the fights anyway!" he crossed his arms as the carriage opened up and the four got inside!
the wolf said, 'great by chance could we get your names! Oh where are my manors I am Omega!"
the Raven wife of the wolf said, "I am Kindness! Yeah I get the irony sense a group of Ravens is called an unkindness!"
Ichigo then called out,' I am Ichigo, My wife is Orihime! Our son is Kazui, and the daughter is Cheeah!"
to be continued.
