Chapter 5 From the bloodthirsty criminal to the greatest hunter

Big time skip

Soul Society

Ichigo was walking in a forest in his normal attire 1*. Why? Because he felt like it, needing some fresh air, seeing what's interesting, nothing really happened for quite a while, he didn't receive any mission for some time.

Ichigo then hears something and stops in his tracks, and like the battle experienced man he is, he guesses like a hunter tracking its prey. ' Someone is behind me, little, probably a child, wild reiatsu but very good at containing it, female, she's going to strike. ' using all his senses would be a waste of time and energy.

As predicted a small figure came out of the bushes and aimed at his back, at the last second he made a backflip to dogged it and landed perfectly to his previous position a second ago, like he hadn't moved at all.

The figure revealed to be a little girl with a height close to his sisters, blue eyes, very long wild black hair going to her lower back and hiding her right eye, clothes in pieces, and very dirty. She had a sword in some weird battle stance. She was growling like an animal.

" Hey calm down little girl, I don't want any problem. " Ichigo defensively said with his hands. The girl growled even more, until a hollow roar into existence. With this, Ichigo then had an idea to calm the wild girl.

He walks towards the hollow until it notices him and charges at him. When The hollow was at an arms range he was directly grabbed by the head and pinned on the ground, Ichigo tighten his grasp, the sound of bones crushing could be heard every second, the hollow was struggling in pain but-

CRACK

A very loud sound was heard indicating that the skull was destroyed by the pressure, the hollow stopped moving and started to disappear.

Cleaning his hands, Ichigo looked at the girl who was looking at him with curiosity. ' That's not what I expected. ' he thought that she would be scared or something, not curious about what just happened.

Ichigo decided to walk away. But even after a long walk " What do you want, kid ? " the girl had followed him, sword grinding the ground leaving a little trail in the dirt. She didn't respond, in fact, she was still looking at him with those curious blue eyes. She kinda looked like a normal little girl compared to her previous state of a survivor.

" Don't talk very much huh kid? Could you at least tell me your name? Mine is Ichigo Kurosaki. " so he could stop calling her kid.

Her voice was harsh, it didn't seem like she drank a lot, but … that wasn't what surprised him.

" Yachiru Unohana. "

Ichigo fell face-first on the ground at the revelation ' So that's why she was such a fighter, she survived by fighting alone and something made her want to fight anyone in her path. ' the Soul King told him of what he didn't know of his timeline like Unohana being an ex-criminal and the little pink Yachiru being the Zanpakuto spirit of Kenpachi, etc, etc. Then he had a funny idea that came with a grin. " Fight me. " he simply said after cleaning himself from the dirt.

Unohana didn't know why this man would want to fight her but she didn't care. Deciding to satisfy her curiosity she struck but he dogged by going backward, she tried again and he dogged again. She repeated so much time that she lost count after 12 or so, and he would always dogged. Ichigo changed his tactic and sidestep, grabbed her wrist and used her momentum to throw her in the direction she was going but faster, she lost her bearing and thought that she would land on the ground instead … she landed in a lake.

She was too surprised by the sudden change of environment that she was drowning but then, a hand grabbed her by the collar of her cloth and took her out of the water. She coughed a little bit and was going to yell at Ichigo but was stopped in her tracks by the sight, Ichigo was walking ON the water. (AN : She doesn't know about the reiatsu and stuff energy.)

After being dropped on the clearing of the lake, she received something white on her head. " Clean yourself. "

" What is that white thing? " She genuinely asked.

Ichigo looked shocked for a second before remembering that she was living in the wild so of course she doesn't know about anything except fighting and surviving, it was a good thing she at least knew how to talk. He used the towel and the water near them to clean her, starting with the hair. He took his shihakusho *1 and haori off and rolled up his pants, and took her cloth off. It was like cleaning his little sister when they were little, well more little then they were at the time. He cleaned her in the water, he didn't have shampoo or soap so he would have to deal with it.

Unohana was calm all along, she was still curious and she didn't know why. She heard Ichigo laugh and asked " What's so funny? "

" Well we look like a family. " he said smiling.

" I never had a family before. I heard people talking about it sometime when I would take stuff from them. " she said.

' That's not good. Change of plan. ' " Alright, you're hungry ? " she nods to answer " Then first let's get out of the water. " and they did so, Ichigo used his reiatsu to dry them both by releasing a small wave, yet it was still undetectable. " Take my hand. " she did so.

They walked deeper into the forest and the adventure began.

Ichigo and Unohana got on a hunt. When it was Unohana who was hunting, Ichigo would correct some of her mistakes. When it was Ichigo, he would teach her one thing or two and if a hollow was close he would also teach her about them, of course, he would never use some of his powers in front of her, shinigami one or not, in fact, he didn't even use all of his skills and only use a drop like he was a normal soul. And when they would simply walk he would tell her about general knowledge about Soul Society and the society in general, like how stealing and killing were wrong.

Unohana was always listening to what he was telling, sometimes asking questions as her curiosity was filled but she was even more curious about Ichigo as he would never tell anything about him.

When they got back to the lake, they started a fire for the food they hunted. When the food was eaten it was already nighttime, and Unohana wanted to fall asleep but she needed to ask " Are we like family Mister? "

Ichigo didn't answer the question for a while, " Goodnight Yachiru. " he put her to a bed that he made with the fur of the animals, she had the best sleep since she was born.

Little time skip

Right after she woke up that day, Ichigo trained her with how to hunt and fight for days and even about how to sell her prey for money or stuff in exchange. He had to admit she was a fast learner when it came to fighting, she was already a middle unseated officer. On the way to the training, he healed her wounds with Kaido once, and when she felt the warmth coming from the green glow she wanted to learn it. When she asked Ichigo, he was surprised that she wanted to use Kaido so early, against better judgment he accepted. He taught her a more complicated explanation about reiatsu and how to manipulate it to heal herself, the harder part was to teach her how to heal someone else's body, though he didn't teach her Kido… yet.

Now eleven months and a half later, they were more familiar with each other. One day Ichigo explained to her about families with both the logical and emotional definition, the next day Unohana pointed her finger at him and called him " Daddy " out of nowhere. One part of his brain was in shock because he thought that she was going to call him Ichi-nii like his sister, the other of his brain was for a different reason.

" Ichigo, I'm pregnant, your will become a daddy. " said the woman crying tears of joy.

Unohana calling him like that made him realize the family that he couldn't- cannot have.

After getting out of his thoughts, he made a decision. He wasn't going to treat her like the Unohana he knew, he planned to make sure she doesn't become a criminal, well now screw the plan, no, he was going to make things as he wanted, screw the original timeline, he already taught her Kaido, and the Soul king did tell him that his mere presence already erased the original timeline.

After that day he would sometimes put her on his shoulders or his back, and would mostly sleep with her when she was scared or cold but after a while, he just slept with her every night. Unohana didn't mind at all and would even call him Father when she was serious or sad. And he was there for her like a father would.

What Ichigo didn't realize was that when they got into towns, Unohana would be stared at by some guys and Unohana would be scared, Ichigo would release some intense killing intent, making the guys run away, he would cheer up Unohana as much as possible afterward, same for boys of her age expect that they would cry and wet their pants. In other words, he didn't realize that he became an overprotective father.

When she founded out she would tease him about it and he would do the same

But now it was time for Ichigo to go, Reio had another mission for him and it was important.

" Yachiru ? "

" What is it, Daddy? "

' This is gonna be hard. ' Ichigo took a deep breath to steel himself " I am needed somewhere else and I can't take you with me. " he didn't dare look at her but after hearing a sob he did. She was on the verge of tears. Protective family instinct kicking in, he kneels, hugs her, and was soothing her hair.

" Why ? " she was sobbing, " I thought we were family. *sniff* You can't leave me alone, I don't want to be alone again, I'm so happy with you, you can't ! " tears were running down her cheek and on his shoulder.

He didn't tell her about him being the Soul King's general and the balance of the three worlds, he also didn't show her his ruby eyes " Where I'm going I can't protect you and you can't survive, someone very important asks for my help. But hey listen, I trained you and taught you a lot of stuff so you could survive and walk on your own two feet, I love you like a father but I can't stay with you forever, I can't explain it to you but know that it's to protect you. " he was still hugging her.

It was true, the creatures on the Other Side, as he called it 2, could break her mentally by the mere concept of it.

She then started to cry for a while on his shoulder, Ichigo was in tears inside but did not show it on the outside, he needed to be strong for her. She stopped and was only sobbing " You promise we'll meet again ? "

' Not for a long time. ' he sadly thought " If one day you have the opportunity to be given a haori like mine by some organization then yes we will see each other again. "

" I don't understand but okay. " she dries her tears and looks at him with determination " When you come back I will be big and strong. " she wanted to impress him as much as possible and to be praised by him and make him proud.

" Alright, be safe. " He kissed her on the forehead " I love you. '' and pull back from the hug. ' Let's make her daddy look even cooler. ' He knew that she developed a big admiration for him t, and boy was he gonna take advantage of that, in a good way of course.

He then stepped back a little bit, put one knee on the ground, and his fist in front of him also on the ground. The dirt started to circle around him and then suddenly, he jumped, leaving wide cracks that were spread far around where he stood a second ago. Unohana looked at her father in anything but blood, as he was going higher, she thought that he was going to land somewhere and continued jumping but he didn't, instead, he disappeared in a sonic boom.

He was flying. And the sonic boom even cleared the skies of the clouds leaving a perfect blue without a spec of white for miles away.

Unohana had sparkles in her eyes because it seemed that Ichigo did make the desired effect. " So cool. " she said lastly.

To be continued

Omake

Ichigo was still flying but at a slow pace when suddenly " I hope that she doesn't grow up too fast and abandoned me. " he sighed. Then he hears a giggle inside his head. " What is it Hogyoku ? "

What he didn't know was that she was struggling to not explode with laughter " You sound just like him. "

" Like who ? "

...

" Wait … no … it's not … no … "

" Oooh yes it is. " she was gonna take pure pleasure in this.

At this moment he was sweating bullets " Impossible. " he said desperately.

" You know the saying. "

" Please don't. "

To his dismay, she screams it in amusement " Like father like son! "

" GOD DAMN IT WHY! WHY WHY WHYYYYY ! "

And the Hogyoku just laugh like Frieza, mocking him " Oh oh oh oh ! " for a very long long loooong time, making Ichigo realize that he became an overprotective father, worst than his dad.

In another timeline

Isshin Kurosaki suddenly felt very proud of himself for no reason.


1* Ichigo has a different type of clothing :

-normal is haori, shihakusho, hakama

-battle is haori, armor and sword

2* Other Side As in outside of the three worlds, with other dimensions in chapter 3

" MESSAGE " :

STORY : When I was talking about any drama and any villain I was thinking of some kind of noble with a stick up his ass or some group that are opposed to the shinigami or some rebels, I know that Ichigo is OP and I know that since his voice means law he could just order the central 46, because of being the general, but I don't want the Rukongai citizen to see him as a tyrant who throws order for no reason, I need something that can show the Gotei 13 and the Rukongai what Ichigo is made of both physically and mentally, and that can last more than one or two chapters or else it just too simple.

ROMANCE : 1) Someone said that there are too many harem fanfiction and they are right, BUT Ichigo will still be a handsome gentleman, hot-looking young man and the wet dream of every single woman.

2) As you just read, no Ichigo x Unohana, they have a father-daughter relationship, I tried to get into Ichigo x Unohan for you guys but it didn't work, no for Senjumaru and Kirio because I don't know them enough to put them with Ichigo sorry, but please keep advising me your help is always needed and appreciated.

FUTURE CHAPTERS : I have a plan where some people like Yoruichi and SoiFon will see Ichigo with admiration for reasons that I can't share. The two oldest shinigami and disciples of Yamamoto will appear, can't say more than this, if you have suggestions then please say it and I will consider them.

COMMENTS : Please continue to say your opinion, it helped me with the harem problem, so continue. If you have a dream about this story no matter what it is then share it with me because that's why you are reading this story, I just had one dream, then another, then another and here I am.

OTHER STORY : Two other stories will be added Hello Sensei and The Unfortunate Life of a Zanpakuto so one chapter for each story will take more time to arrive but I will try to upload monthly, keywords try don't force me.

TheAbsoluteZero, … rainbow.
