Chapter 5: a family enveloped by a shadow of darkness part 5


When Ichigo arrived with Kisuke and Yoruichi in Japan to begin his training against the creatures of the night. When they arrived in Japan they came to an ancient Japanese castle, Kisuke and Yoruichi took out the vampire that lived there long ago and now used it as a place to train others to fight.

When they went inside Ichigo met the others who were living there and training.

First he met Tessai the mystic and medicine man of Kisuke's group, then there were Jinta and Ururu, kids that live and trained with Kisuke.

As he was shown around they came across a training field where he met 4 people that were in training.

One was at the archery range firing magic arrows that hit their targets he was a young teen around Ichigo's age with an average height and slender build. He has straight, chin-length raven colored hair framing both sides of his face, and is fair-skinned with blue eyes. He also is wearing rectangle shape glasses and wearing a white Quincy clothes, with blue stripes representing the Quincy cross, and a mantle.

"Uryu!" Kisuke called. "Take a breather from target practice and come meet our newest guest."

After firing his shot the archer came over to Kisuke while pushing his glasses up and looked at the new comers.

"This is Ichigo Kurosaki and these are his pets, the wolf Silver, his flying steed Crimson and his dragon red eyes." Kisuke introduced.

"Hello there." Said Ichigo.

"So you must be Ichigo from Romania then?" said Uryu.

"Yes I am." Answered Ichigo.

"So why did you bring him here Kisuke?" Uryu asked.

"He's here to train and get stronger, we don't know when the vampires will strike." Said Kisuke.

Uryu nodded and then told Ichigo he better keep up as he returned to the archery range.

"Sorry his family have been prosecuted and chase from their lands by the corrupt members of the church." Said Kisuke.

"I see." Said Ichigo as he watched Uryu continued firing his spirit arrows.

"Well then follow me there's 4 more people you have to meet." Said Kisuke.

Ichigo nudged Crimson and they followed Kisuke.

They reached the castle's stable where Ichigo got off and lead Crimson in to one of its berth and then went with Kisuke with Silver and Red eyes.

"Hey where did Yoruichi go?" Ichigo asked now noticing her not being with them.

"Oh Sorry." Said Kisuke. "Yoruichi does that when we get back here, she goes off and meet up with her contacts about any vampire activity in Japan."

"I thought Vampires only resides in Styria or Transylvania." Said Ichigo.

"True Ichigo but there other kinds of vampires, here in Japan, Asia, China, Russia, India and even in Africa." Said Kisuke.

"Whoa." Said Ichigo surprised.

"Now then let's head over to the training hall." Said Kisuke.

At the training hall there were 2 people sparring with some training dummies, one Mexican and Japanese descent. He is dark-skinned with pronounced cheek-bones and has wavy brown hair with bangs that generally hangs over his brown eyes. He is a muscular and extremely tall man and appears to be much older around 14. The other one is around 15 has brown eyes and long crimson hair, which is usually kept in a high ponytail e styled it in a large widow's-peak. His upper body is covered in tribal tattoos, which have increased over time.

The first one was using his fists his entire right arm in a liquid which then solidifies into a form of armor. The shoulder extension becomes pointed and slightly longer, making it a little bit taller than he was it was black with magenta lines on it and the 2nd had a sword that was a 6-part segmented blade; each segment is wider than the one preceding it from the hilt, with 2 pick-like protrusions on the front and back of each segment, with the ones on the front much longer than the ones on the back.

"Ichigo these 2 are Yasutora Sado better known as Chad and Renji Abarai." Kisuke introduced.

"Hello." Said Chad in a deep voice.

"So you're the newest one to come train here then? Nice to meet you." Said Renji.

"Likewise." Said Ichigo.

Silver then walked up to them.

"Is that a wolf?" asked Renji.

"It is this is Silver." Said Ichigo.

Chad walked up to him and petted him and Silver didn't mind that, but with Renji he growled and showed his fangs and back off.

"Yikes." Said Renji.

"Sorry he's a bit defensive but he didn't mind Chad though." Said Ichigo.

Then both of them notice a dragon behind Ichigo.

"What's with the dragon Ichigo?" asked Renji.

"This is Red eyes, I rescued him when he was an egg and he's attached to me." He answered.

"A red eyes black dragon? That's rare!" said Renji.

Red eyes then hid behind Ichigo.

"Nice going red pineapple you scared him!" scolded Ichigo.

"Sorry." Said Renji.

"Well then come on Ichigo there are other places I want to show you." Said Kisuke.

Ichigo then followed Kisuke with Silver and Red eyes following them.

"This is going to be a crazy time." Said Renji.

Kisuke then showed Ichigo the hot springs, armory, a healing room, a room full of potions and magic spells, and even the living quarters.

There was one more place to show and that was a place for dragons for Red eyes to stay.

It was a big room, room enough for large creatures to stay, it was called the dragon's keep and there Red eyes can rest and there was food and water for dragons to enjoy.

When they got there, there were 2 girls there around the age of 13 helping with the other dragons.

One was short and petite has light skin and purple eyes. Her hair is black, with several strands of hair always hanging between her eyes. The other is a teenager of average height. She has brown eyes and long, waist-length, burnt orange hair. Her most noticeable physical trait is her slender yet curvaceous figure for a teenager. She wears her hair in bangs tucked behind her ears with hairpins that were blue in the shape of six-petal flowers.

They were finishing tending to the dragons that Kisuke and his group rescued from hunters and vampires that wanted their powers for evil.

Kisuke then called them over so that they can meet the newest person to come train with them.

The girls came over right away.

"Who's this Kisuke?" asked Rukia.

"This is Ichigo Kurosaki from Romania, he's come here to train." He answered Rukia.

"Hello there." He said extending his hand.

Rukia shook his hand, but when Orihime looked at him and looked in his eyes, she started to blush.

"oh my god! He's so handsome!" she screamed in her mind.

"Are you ok?" asked Ichigo.

Orihime's face turned fully red and she then passed out on the ground.

Ichigo then ran up to her and check to see if she was all right.

Rukia then picked up Orihime.

"Don't worry she's fine, Kisuke I'll take her back to her room. It was nice meeting you Ichigo." Said Rukia as carried Orihime.

"Likewise." Said Ichigo.

As Rukia took Orihime away, Ichigo turned to Kisuke.

"So what am I going to do here?" asked Ichigo.

Before Kisuke could say, there was a loud roar that came from far away.

"What was that?" said Ichigo.

"That sounded like a dragon being captured." Said Kisuke.

"Who would do that?" said Ichigo as his anger rise.

"Vampire hunters for their masters." Said Kisuke.

"Why do vampires need dragons?" said Ichigo.

"For a lot of evil reasons." Said Kisuke as he didn't want to go to details.

"Well they're not getting this one." Said Ichigo. "CRIMSON!"

The fiery steed heard Ichigo's shout and he rushed over to him.

Ichigo got on his steed's back and Silver hopped on as well.

"Ichigo what the hell are you doing?" said Kisuke.

"Something very reckless and stupid." He answered. "HYAH!"

With one nudge, Crimson spread his wings and took off with Red eyes following them not wanting to be separated from his father.

"Ichigo!" shouted Kisuke as watched them flew off.

"Damn it." Said Kisuke.

Just then Yoruichi came back with Soi-Fon and they saw Kisuke upset.

"Kisuke what's wrong?" said Yoruichi.

"It's Ichigo, he heard a dragon in trouble and took off to rescue it." Said Kisuke.

"What?! But he never faced against the vampires here before." Said Yoruichi.

"I know." Said Kisuke. "I'm going after him."

He then ran to get his gear and using some magic ran after Ichigo.

He hopes he can catch up and stop him before things can get worse.

But it has a in a way.

Back in Styria, Carmilla was leaving with a battalion and were heading straight for Romania and where Masaki lives.

"Soon the power will be mine." She said to herself.

Looks like Ichigo's future will have one dark chapter coming in time.


(To be continued)


Ok that ends this chapter.

Sorry it took so long had a lot to deal with.

Had to celebrate a couple of birthdays one of my friend and 2 of my families.

Now the next chapter will have a bit of a time skip and won't be released until 12/9.

Also I've made a decision.

It's been 8 years since I joined Fanfiction and I think it's time to change my username.

Now before you ask if I'm quitting? No I am not, I am going to change my username on the 21st of Dec.

I'll let you know when I change it after I upload 7 new chapters.

And also I'm going to be a bit busy during thanksgiving so no new chapters during that day.

So that's all I have to say for now.

Now if you excuse me I'm off to get some rest.

So R and R no flames and no rude insults.

Until next time.
