Meeting a strawberry
Giving a Scowl as he leaned against a wall beside a patient Rukia, Ichigo looked to his watch to see the time, and sighing once more in annoyance, Rukia spoke with her brow twitching.
"Either be quiet or leave, I can handle this on my own"
"If you're friend is gonna be a no show, I will go home if I have to wait any moment longer" sending an elbow into Ichigo's side, Rukia scowled back in annoyance.
"He said He'll meet us here, he just had an… unforeseen accident on the way here" giving the petite a frown, Ichigo went to speak until he stopped with the two looking around in confusion, the alleyway they stood in while a whistling sound began to grow loud.
Before Ichigo could question Rukia what that sound is, the two jumped at hearing an impact behind them, Ichigo protecting Rukia before his eyes widened as Loki stepped out of the small crater with a huff, dusting himself of the landing, Loki turned to them before raising a hand of greeting to Rukia.
"Hey Rukia… kid" nodding to ichigo who stared at him in shock before turning to the petite who waved at Loki with a pleasant smile.
"Loki-san" looking between the hero Loki and Rukia, Ichigo spoke in shock while pointing at them both.
"Wait, when the hell did you two meet, you're supposed to be in America, and you… what the hell is going on!?" looking to Loki for an answer, Ken shrugged.
"Last night, I found you protecting a kid from a Hollow, I followed you both and… well, capture Kuchiki here to get some answers, I was hungry and well I ended up cooking dinner for us both" shrugging once more with Ichigo giving him a deadpan, Kuchiki had a blush on her cheeks at remembering last nights… oddness.
"I take it she also stayed the night?" nodding to the teen, Ichigo spoke.
"Alright, ignoring that awkwardness, why are you here?" looking down the alleyway then to the street, Loki spoke more quietly.
"I've come to investigate the reports of what Kuchiki has informed me, are hollows, and she has also agreed to show me to a benefactor who will help me in my investigation, already two agents have had they're memories wiped of their reports" looking to Rukia who nodded, she turned to ichigo with a stern look.
"This will be beneficial for you as well, so both of you follow me" gesturing for Rukia to lead the way, Ken shed his armor to reveal…
"Wait, you're my neighbor!" giving the teen a deadpan, Ken spoke while putting on a pair of shades, matching his leather jacket and jeans.
"Yeah, nice to meet you too, Kurosaki ichigo" seeing Ichigo staring in alarm, Ken gave a snort while tapping his Sunglasses.
"Relax, these sunglasses have a HUD on the lenses, instant Internet access baby" following Rukia with a laugh, Ichigo quickly chased after the two with an annoyed look.
"So, where are we going, ma'am?" following after the petite who slowed to be in step with Ken, ichigo followed with a grouch.
"We're going to a store where I get my supplies during assignments, we have several cities on our jurisdiction, many of the others have their own spiritual guardians, America also have their own protectors" paying full attention to the Ravenette as she led them along the road, Ken kept an eye out for Hollows.
"So, whose running this supply running place you mentioned?"
"A disgraced Shinigami Captain named Urahara Kisuke, he was experimenting on others to see if a hybrid could exist" giving her a look, Ken snorted before they found themselves in front of a store, called Urahara Shoten.
"This is where you buy supplies?" nodding to the man with her arms crossed, Rukia led the two inside with Ken looking over the store with a serious eye, his shades scanning the many items for purchase, he stopped suddenly at hearing a familiar meow.
Slowly turning to the source with a blank look, Ken found himself staring at the black cat from his safehouse.
"You!?" pointing an accusing finger to the cat, Ken approached with the cat watching him in worry until he picked her up gently, smooching her right ear fondly.
"You had me worried, you little shit, what would have happened if you got hit by a car?" scratching her chin, Rukia and ichigo watched the exchange with Rukia hiding a smile at seeing what basically is a seasoned warrior, worried over a small cat.
Hearing purrs from said cat as Ken held her gently while petting her back, Ken stilled cooed over the cat who enjoyed the praise, failing to see a dirt blonde man with a striped hat enter with a hidden smile.
"if you're done stroking my cats already inflated ego, what can I do for you, Kuchiki-sama?" pausing in his smooches on Yoruichi's head, Ken turned to the man himself Urahara Kisuke.
"I need to purchase some supplies and… I need a favor regarding our companion here?" gesturing to Ken who still held the cat in hand, Ken and the cat shared a look before Ken sat down with the cat in his lap.
"What kind of favor, Kuchiki-san?" looking to Ken as he now had Yoruichi in his jacket comfortably, his eyes noticed Yoruichi purring in contempt.
"He is aware of the spiritual world… he can see and fight hollows" seeing Kisuke raise an eyebrow at Ken who had gone back to kissing the supposed cat, Kisuke smiled inwardly while turning to her.
"What do you think Yoruichi, should we give him a rundown?" perking up with a confused look, Ken noticed Kisuke looking at him with a smile.
"If he's going to fight hollows he'll need training, and please keep scratching my chin, it actually feels pleasant" looking down to his chest where the cat sat, where a male voice came from, Ken gently took out Yoruichi who smiled at him like a Cheshire cat, frowning in confusion while looking at her reproductive parts, Yoruichi spoke in alarm.
"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING THERE!?"
"YOU'RE BODY IS A FEMALE, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE A MALE VOICE!?"
"THAT'S BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN IN HUMAN FORM!?" pausing while putting her down, ken stood up with a look of suspicion.
"Show me"
*Mic feedback sound*
Staring at Ken in dawning shock, Kisuke waved his fan over his growing smile as Yoruichi sat frozen.
Before exploding in outrage.
"YOU CAN'T JUST ASK A GIRL TO DO THAT IN FRONT OF THOSE YOUNGER THAN YOU!?" frowning in sudden confusion as Ken dialed his watch, a green flash blinded those watching before they heard a voice with a French accent speaking Japanese speak with a playful purr vibrating the entire shop, like a lion was on the prowl.
"I did it, why don't you?" staring at the Therini-sapian form known as Redback, Yoruichi stared at Ken in shock as amber stared into amber.
It didn't help redback had taken a, jaguar like appearance with his fur showing patterns hidden beneath dark purple, staring into this new beings eyes, Ichigo spoke.
"Holy crap, you really are Loki?" giving the teen an amused look, Redback picked up a stunned Yoruichi off the floor to set her back onto his lap, his own tail lazily swaying as Kisuke looked over Ken in marvel.
"How did you change, you're reiatsu has also changed, before It was a constant motion now it's… it's like it's waiting to pounce, hunt, I don't know how to describe it" watching Kisuke circle him with a scientific look, Ken shrugged.
"It comes from the Omnitrix, an Alien device made to bring peace to the galaxy… only for a warlord, deceased mind you, to try and take it for war, I use it to help those who can't help themselves… except my hero work is on pause right now due to me coming her to investigate the hollows" flashing green with Yoruichi staring up at Ken who grinned at Kisuke, he held the Omnitrix up proudly with Kisuke looking at it's design.
"This is a dangerous tool" snorting while his helmet formed over his head, Ken spoke firmly.
"Not gonna be that easy to get this off, Doc." Seeing Kisuke look at Ken, he turned to Rukia with an excited smile.
"We'll teach him all we know, Kuchiki-san. Thank you for bringing this to our attention" seeing Rukia narrow her eyes at him, Ken spoke to Yoruichi quietly with a teasing voice that made the werecat perk up.
"Wait, you've seen me shower?" getting a laugh from the werecat still in cat form, Kisuke looked at the two with wide eyes.
"Wait, what?"
Following Kisuke and Yoruichi down to the "Basement", Ken looked over the canyon like area with a whistle.
"Damn, now this is a perfect testing field, Far deep in the ground, perfect noise cancellation, artificial sky and landscape, who ever made this is a fucking Genius" Turning to Tessai after being introduced tohis future teachers, Ken found himself in a hand shake form the large man who had twars of joy from under his glasses.
"Thank you, so much for you're kind words" smiling as he returned the hand shake, Ken spoke.
"I'll ask for my own "Basement" when this is done" stepping after Kisuke as he stood beside a sitting Yoruichi, still in cat form.
Ken stood at attention as the scientist began explaining.
"The first step to you're training in combatting Hollows, is to gain a fair amount of Reiatsu, the level you have now only allows you to fight with your own tools, what we are planning will hopefully heighten you're chances of combat" tilting his head in confusion, Ken spoke while failing to see Kisuke smile like a toddler.
"And how exactly are we supposed to do that?"
"This of course!" before Ken could speak further on his next question, Ken found the end of Kisuke's Cane jabbing him in the forehead.
Leaving Ken gasping for breath as all strength left his body before it oddly enough began to subside.
"What the hell Urahara!?" looking up to the shopkeeper who merely smiled down at him, Kisuke merely pointed to Ken's chest with his smile replaced with confusion.
Due to the fact Ken's chain of fate… being pith black with red energy channeling through it towards his… body.
"Oh hell no!" before he could move back to his body, Ken gave a choked sound as he twitched with his body jerking in place, the Omnitrix sparking a bright pink as it was lifted off the ground by an unseen force.
Looking to his hands as a dark red energy gathered around him, Ken gagged at the taste of copper in his mouth as his body stumbled towards him as it released a shockwave of energy… chaotic energy.
Feeling his legs move in tandem to his body, Ken watched as it slowly became his Anodite form, Hatred, burning away all but his pants while the Omnitrix sank into his skin, Ken gave a grunt as he began seeping into his body as the others regained their footing.
Seeing Ken give a growl as he returned to his body, the same chaotic energy gathered resumed on Hatred's arms before he fell to his knee's, growling at the build up of energy, Hatred looked to it's hands with a pain filled grunt before leaping upward through the basement door, leaving Kisuke and Tessai confused while Yoruichi followed Ken.
Finding Hatred was easy, following the growls of anger while he stumbled in the streets, passersby took one look before fleeing at the sight of Hatred stumbling onto oncoming traffic, Yoruichi went to tackle him out of the way, if not for Hatred to turn as a truck nailed him in a panic, sending him flying off of the road.
The energy gathering on Hatred's arms flexed with tendrils flying outward as Hatred crawled onto his hands and knee's, breathing heavily with a pain filled snarl. The corrupted Anodite looked to his own hands before he gave a roar as the energy was disbursed in a pulse.
Making those nearby stumble at the energy seeping into the air and ground.
All eyes glued to Hatred as he gave a howl as a wave of chaotic magic escaped him with his back exploding into a mane of Magic fire.
All the while people began panicking as Hollows began to become visible to everyone.
Yelling in anger as the magic continued to latch on to his being, Hatred expelled it with another shockwave, reaching beyond Karakura, hell even Japan.
Giving a howl as the energy began to subside, Yoruichi was clinging to her current spot due to the hurricane like winds blowing out from Hatred, the civilians having gone for cover.
And feeling what felt like hours, the surge came to an end with hatred giving a choked gasp before falling unconscious, the wave of chaotic magic tainting the sky before it faded away into clear blue sky.
Seeing Hatred rumble as his body began cracking with green energy, Yoruichi flashed to him before vanishing from sight.
Leaving the world changed with chaos finally gaining a new master.
