Time Skip: One week

A week has passed since Seto's announcement. Many non-duelists complained and protested about the chaos KaibaCorp's new tournament will cause. Some even trying to write up petitions to cancel the event. Unfortunately, the petitions couldn't stop the tournament due to a few reasons. The first is that the tournament itself will not cause chaos. Rather it will be the duelists who decide to duel on the streets and interrupt traffic. Not only that, but the tournament was also announced publicly to all citizens of Domino City. This allowed all non-duelists one week notice for temporary changes due to the tournament. In other news, Seto arranged various card shops to distribute the various Duel Disk. Seto personally rated each person from 1-10. One being the lowest and 10 being the highest. For the person to participate in the tournament, the rating needs to be at least 5 or above and that person will also obtain a Duel Disk for free. Seto had various people install the software to various computers in Domino City card shops. As promised, Seto handed Ichigo three decks, one for each girl as well as a duel disk for each of them.

Yuzu, Karin, and Eu arrived later that day. Ichigo gave each girl their deck and duel disk. Ichigo spent the next moments showing them how to use the duel disk.

"Onii-chan, where is your duel disk?" Yuzu asked.

"It's in my room," Ichigo said.

"Can we see your deck?" Karin asked.

"Sure," Ichigo said and went to get his deck and duel disk. When Ichigo returned, they were amazed by Ichigo's custom duel disk.

"How did you get that?" Karin asked.

"Pegasus custom made the duel disk for me," Ichigo said.

"Really!?" Yuzu asked.

"Well, Onii-chan, who do you want to duel first?" Yuzu asked.

"I am thinking of a number from one to ten. Whoever guesses it right go first and we continue from there." Ichigo said. The girls agreed to Ichigo's idea. Karin is going first against Ichigo, then Yuzu and Eu are last.

"Ready Ichi-nii?" Karin asked.

"Yes," Ichigo replied.

"Duel!" They yelled.

{Karin 4000/Ichigo 4000}

"You can start Ichi-nii," Karin said.

"Ok. I activate Red-Eyes Fusion." Ichigo said as he activates the spell card. "This card allows me to fusion summon one Red-Eyes Fusion Monster by sending the fusion necessary material from my deck, hand or field. However, I cannot normal or special for this turn." Ichigo explained as he sent Summon Skull and Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the grave. "Come forth, Archfiend Black Skull Dragon!" Ichigo yelled. As the Dragon Fusion arises to Ichigo's side of the field. "I then set a monster and place two facedowns," Ichigo said. To the side of the dragon, a set card is placed and two other facedown cards behind them. "With that, my turn is over."

"Wait. Didn't Ichi-nii say he can't normal or special summon this turn?" Yuzu asked.

"Normally that is correct. However, setting a monster and normal summoning is different." Eu said.

"Anyways my turn," Karin said. "I activate Dark Hole!" Karin said and destroyed Ichigo's Archfiend Black Skull Dragon and the set monster. "I then normal summon Gladiator Beast Murmillo and Special Summon Test Tiger," Karin said as a fish-like monster and a tiger appeared on her side of the field. "I then activate Test Tiger's effect. By tributing it, it allows me to send one of my Gladiator Beasts back to the deck and special another one from my deck. Also, the special summon counts as being special summoned due to an effect of a Gladiator Beast." Karin said. As Test Tiger is sent to the grave.

"Not so fast Karin, I activate Red-Eyes Spirit," Ichigo said as he activates his trap card. "This trap allows me to special summon one Red-Eyes monster from my graveyard," Ichigo said. "Return Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Red-Eyes Black Dragon returns to the field.

"Now my Test Tiger's effect can resolve and send Gladiator Beast Murmillo back to the deck. "I special summon Gladiator Beast Augustus," Karin said. As the Level 8 monster is special summoned. "Since Gladiator Beast Augustus was special summoned by a Gladiator Beast's effect, I can use its effect. Gladiator Beast Augustus's effect allows me to special summon one Gladiator Beast from my hand in face-up defense mode. However, the special summoned monster goes back to the deck at the end phase if it is still on the field." Karin explains the effect. "I choose Gladiator Beast Laquari!" Karin said as Gladiator Beast Laquari was special summoned in face-up defense mode.

"I attack Red-Eyes Black Dragon with Gladiator Beast Augustus!" Karin declared the attack. Gladiator Beast Augustus attacked and destroyed Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

{Karin 4000/Ichigo 3800}

"After the Battle Phase is over, Gladiator Beast Augustus's other effect activates, it sends itself back to the deck and allows me to special summon another Gladiator Beast to the field," Karin said. "I special summon another Gladiator Beast Laquari!" Karin said. "Since Gladiator Beast Laquari was special summoned this way, its original attack is now 2100. I set one card down and end my turn." Karin said. The Gladiator Beast Laquari that Karin special summoned by Gladiator Beast Augustus went back to the deck.

"During your End Phase, I activate my Spell Card, Mystical Space Typhoon!" Ichigo said. "This card destroys the set card you just placed," Ichigo said. From Ichigo's side, a typhoon came and destroyed Karin's set Gladiator Taming. "Now then, I draw," Ichigo said. I summon Black Stone of Legend." Ichigo said as a black and red egg appears on the field. "By tributing my egg, I can special summon one Level 7 or lower Red-Eyes Monster," Ichigo explained. "Come forth, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Ichigo said as the Black Egg breaks open and another black dragon takes its place. "I attack Gladiator Beast Laquari." Ichigo declared. The Red-Eyes destroyed Gladiator Beast Laquari with a crimson fireball.

{Karin 3700/Ichigo 3800}

"I end my turn," Ichigo said.

"Draw. I activate Gladiator Proving Ground. This card allows me to add 1 level 4 or below Gladiator Beast monster from my deck to my hand." Karin explained. "I choose Gladiator Beast Secutor," Karin said. "I set one card and end my turn," Karin said.

"My turn. Draw." Ichigo said. "Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon attack Karin's set card!" Ichigo declared. The Dragon fired another crimson fireball at the set monster and destroying Gladiator Beast Secutor. "I end my turn," Ichigo said.

"Draw," Karin said. "I activate Soul Charge. This card allows me to special summon as many monsters from my graveyard. However, for each card special summoned this way, I must pay one thousand of my life points." Karin explained. "I choose Test Tiger," Karin said the tiger appeared on her side of the field once again and her life points dropped to 2700.

{Karin 2700/Ichigo 3800}

"I then normal summon Gladiator Beast Retiari and activate Test Tiger's effect again," Karin said. "This time, I special summon Gladiator Beast Murmillo in defense mode!" Karin said as the fish from earlier appeared. "Gladiator Beast Murmillo's effect activates which allows me to destroy your Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon." Karin declared. As Ichigo's Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon was destroyed. "After that, I end," Karin said.

"Draw," Ichigo said. "Good job on the comeback Karin but, can you deal with this!" Ichigo said. "I activate the Allure of Darkness. This card allows me to draw two cards, but I have to remove one DARK type monster from my hand or discard my entire hand." Ichigo said as he draws two more cards. "Luckily I do have a monster to remove," Ichigo said and removes Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact. "I then activate Red-Eyes Insight. This card allows me to send one Red-Eyes monster from my hand or deck and then I add one Red-Eyes Spell or Trap to my hand." Ichigo said as Ichigo sends another copy of your Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon to the grave. "The spell card I choose is Red-Eyes Fusion and activate it," Ichigo said. "This time I send Red-Eyes Black Dragon and my other copy of Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact to the grave and special summon Meteor Black Comet Dragon!" Ichigo declared. "Now his effect activates. Ichigo said. "This guy allows me to send one Red-Eyes monster from my hand or deck and my opponent takes half that Red-Eyes attack as damage," Ichigo said. "The card I choose is Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon which has 2800 attack points," Ichigo said as Karin took 1400 points so damage.

{Karin 1300/Ichigo 3800}

"Now Meteor Black Comet Dragon, attack Gladiator Beast Murmillo!" Ichigo ordered. The dragon swiftly destroyed Karin's fish. "I set one card down and end my turn," Ichigo said.

"Draw. I set one card and end my turn." Karin said.

"Draw," Ichigo said. "I activate my Black Stone of Legend's other effect, I can send one level seven or lower Red-Eyes Monster back to my deck and my Black Stone of Legend goes back to my hand," Ichigo said. "The dragon I pick is good old Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Ichigo said as he sends Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the deck and adds Black Stone of Legend to his hand. "I now equip my Meteor Black Comet Dragon with Black Metal Dragon and this little guy gives my Meteor Black Comet Dragon 600 more attack points," Ichigo said as Meteor Black Comet Dragon's attack points jumped to 4100. "Now Meteor Black Comet Dragon, attack Karin's set," Ichigo said as the Dragon destroys Karin's set monster. "I end my turn," Ichigo said.

"Draw," Karin said. "I set one card and end my turn," Karin said.

"Draw," Ichigo said. "Meteor Black Comet Dragon attack Karin's life points directly with Black Meteor Impact!" Ichigo said as Meteor Black Comet Dragon gave the final blow to Karin's life points.

{Karin 0000/Ichigo 3800}

"Wow. Ichi-nii, you're strong." Karin said.

"You could defeat Yugi with that deck." Yuzu said.

"Well… I don't know about that." Ichigo said.

"Anyways, Yuzu it is your turn," Eu said.

"Ok." Yuzu said

"Let me switch decks," Ichigo said and swapped decks.

{Yuzu 4000/ Ichigo 4000}

"Duel!" Yuzu and Ichigo yelled.

"You can go first Ichi-nii." Yuzu said.

"Ok. I set one card face down and end my turn." Ichigo said.

"Draw. I activate the Pre-Preparation of Rites. This card allows me to add a Ritual Spell Card from my deck to my hand and add the corresponding Ritual Monster for the Ritual Spell Card from my deck or graveyard." I now activate the Hieratic Seal of Convocation." Yuzu said. "This card allows me to add one Hieratic monster from my deck to my hand. The card I pick is the Hieratic Dragon of Su. Now I activate Hymn of Light and discard my Su to ritual summon Saffira, Queen of Dragons!" Yuzu said. "My Hieratic Dragon of Su's effect activates. It allows me to Special Summon 1 Dragon Normal Monster from my hand, deck or grave. But the attack and defense points are now 0. Come Labradorite Dragon." Yuzu said. "Saffira attack Ichi-Nii's Life Points directly!" Yuzu said.

{Yuzu 4000/ Ichigo 1500}

"At the end phase, I activate Saffira's effect. On the turn, she is Ritual Summoned or a LIGHT monster was sent to the grave by hand or deck; I can activate one of her three effects. The ability I choose is to draw 2 cards but discard one." Yuzu said and draws two and send one card to the grave. "This ends my turn." Yuzu said.

"Draw," Ichigo said. "I set a card down and end my turn," Ichigo said.

"Draw." Yuzu said. "Saffira attack Ichi-Nii's set card." Saffira attacked and destroyed Ichigo's Honest. "I end my turn." Yuzu said.

"Draw," Ichigo said. "I activate Dragon Shrine," Ichigo said. "This card allows me to send one Dragon monster to the graveyard. If that card I sent was a normal monster, I could send another Dragon to the grave." Ichigo explained. "I sent my Blue-Eyes White Dragon and then send my White Stone of Legend. Then my White Stone of Legend's effect activates which adds a Blue-Eyes White Dragon to my hand." Ichigo explains. "Revealing one Blue-Eyes White Dragon in my hand, I can special summon one Blue-Eyes Alternate Dragon," Ichigo said. "I now activate Return of the Dragon Lords. This card allows me to Special one level seven or eight from the graveyard. Come back Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Ichigo said. My Alternate Dragon attack Saffira!" Ichigo declared.

"Not so fast, I activate Hymn of Light's other effect. By removing this card from play, it negates the destruction of my Saffira for this battle." Yuzu said as she took 500 points of damage.

{Yuzu 3500/ Ichigo 1500}

"My other Blue-Eyes attack Saffira," Ichigo said as the other Blue-Eyes successfully destroys Saffira and inflict another 500 points of damage to Yuzu. "With that, I end my turn," Ichigo said.

{Yuzu 3000/ Ichigo 1500}

"Draw." Yuzu said. "I activate my Raigeki!" Yuzu said. "It destroys all monsters on my opponent's side of the field.

"By removing my Return of the Dragon Lords, I can negate their destruction." Ichigo countered.

"Then I activate my Field Spell, Ritual Sanctuary." Yuzu said.

"I end my turn." Yuzu said.

"Draw," Ichigo said. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon attack Yuzu's Labradorite Dragon!" Ichigo ordered. "Blue-Eyes Alternate Dragon finished this game!" Ichigo declared.

{Yuzu 0000/ Ichigo 1500}

"Good job Yuzu," Ichigo said.

"Ya Yuzu. You dealt more damage to Ichi-nii then I did." Karin said.

"Thanks." Yuzu said as she moved for Eu to duel.

"Ready?" Eu asked.

"Ya. Let me switch decks." Ichigo said as Ichigo once again swap decks.

"Duel!" The two said.

{Eu 4000/ Ichigo 4000}

"I'll start," Eu said. "I'll set one monster and one card face down," Eu said. "I end," Eu said.

"Ok. Draw." Ichigo said. "I summon Black Stone of Legend and use its effect," Ichigo said. "I special summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Ichigo said. "Red-Eyes attack Eu's facedown card."

"I activate my Shaddoll Hedgehog's effect. It allows me to add one Shaddoll Spell or Trap to my hand. The card I add is Shaddoll Fusion." Eu said.

"I send my turn," Ichigo said.

"Draw. I set another monster down and place another face-down card." Eu said.

"Ok Eu. My turn." Ichigo said as he draws his next card. "I summon Honest in attack mode," Ichigo said.

"What?" Everyone else said. They saw the cards Ichigo was using and assumed Ichigo was using the Red-Eyes Deck that he used against Karin.

"Red Eyes attack her face down card," Ichigo ordered.

"This time I activate my Shaddoll Falco's flip effect." Eu declared. "I can special summon one Shaddoll monster other than Falco and set it facedown Defense Position," Eu said. "I choose my Shaddoll Hedgehog," Eu said.

"Ok. Honest destroy her Hedgehog!" Ichigo ordered.

"Flip Effect activates and I add Nephe Shaddoll Fusion," Eu said.

"Draw," Eu said. "I set another monster down and end my turn," Eu said.

"Draw," Ichigo said. "I summon White Stone of Ancient," Ichigo said.

"Red-Eyes attack her set!" Ichigo ordered and Revealed another Shaddoll Hedgehog was destroyed. This time Eu chose not to activate Hedgehog's effect.

"Honest and White Stone, attack Eu directly," Ichigo said.

"I reveal my trap card, Ring of Destruction," Eu said. "During my opponent's turn, I can target a face-up monster you control and destroy it. I take damage equal to its current attack. Then my opponent takes the damage as well." Eu explained. "The card I choose is Honest," Eu said as the angel looking monster was destroyed.

{Eu 2900/ Ichigo 2900}

"Why did Eu choose Honest instead of Red-Eyes?" Karin asked.

"She chooses Honest due to his effect." Yuzu explained

"What effect?" Karin asked.

"When a Light monster on Ichi-nii's side of the field is attacked or attacking, Ichigo can discard Honest and that Light monster gain attack points equal to the attack of the opponent's highest monster." Yuzu explained.

"Really?" Why would Ichi-nii summon him then?" Karin questioned.

"Ichi-nii likely did not have any Light monsters in his hand at the moment and decided to do that to get more damage in. Honest also has an effect where he does back to the owner's hand." Yuzu further explains.

"Still, White Stone of the Ancient, attack Eu's life points directly!" Ichigo said.

{Eu 2300/ Ichigo 2900}

"I end my turn," Ichigo said.

"Draw," Eu said. "I activate Raigeki!" Eu said as a lightning bolt destroys Ichigo's Red-Eyes and White Stone of Ancient. "I then set a card and end my turn," Eu said.

"Draw," Ichigo said. "I activate Red-Eyes Insight and send Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact to the graveyard to get "Red-Eyes Fusion to my hand," Ichigo said. I now send one of my Red-Eyes Black Dragons from my deck and the other Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact to the grave to fusion summon Meteor Black Comet Dragon!" Ichigo said. "By sending my last copies of Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the grave, you take 1200 points of damage," Ichigo said.

{Eu 1100/ Ichigo 2900}

"Now Black Comet Dragon, attack Eu's set card," Ichigo ordered and the card revealed to be another Hedgehog.

"I use my Hedgehog's effect to add Shaddoll Core to my hand," Eu said.

"I end my turn," Ichigo said.

"Draw," Eu said. "I activate Shaddoll Fusion," Eu said. "I send my Lightsworn Lyla and my Shaddoll Beast to the grave to fusion summon El Shaddoll Construct," Eu said. "Then my Beast and Construct's effect activate. Construct allows me to send one Shaddoll card to the grave while Beast allows me to draw one card." Eu explains. "I send my Shaddoll Falco to the grave and draw my free card," Eu said. "Then Falco's effect activates, and I special summon it," Eu said. "El Shaddoll Construct, attack Ichigo's Meteor Black Comet Dragon," Eu ordered. "El Shaddoll Construct's other effect activates," Eu said. "When El Shaddoll Construct battles a Special Summoned monster, it automatically dies," Eu said.

"What!" Everyone yelled.

"When Meteor Black Comet Dragon is sent to the graveyard, I can special summon one normal monster from my grave," Ichigo said. "Rise again, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Ichigo declared.

"With one card set and I end my turn." Eu declared.

"Draw," Ichigo said. "I activate my facedown card, Red-Eyes Spirit," Ichigo said. "This card allows me to special summon one Red-Eyes Monster from my graveyard," Ichigo explained. "Come back, Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact!" Ichigo said. "Now I remove from play my other copy of Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact and my White Stone of Ancient," Ichigo said. Everyone could see a white org and black org appeared and fused, creating a portal. "I special summon, Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning!" Black Luster Soldier leaped out of the portal. Ichigo said. "I use Black Luster Soldier 's effect and banish one monster on the field," Ichigo said as Eu's Construct was removed from the game. "I then activate my Return of the Dragon Lord and Silver's Cry," Ichigo said. "To special summon my Red-Eyes Black Dragon and my Meteor Black Comet Dragon!" Ichigo said as his two other dragons appeared. "Red-Eyes Black Dragon, attack Eu's set card," Ichigo ordered.

"I activate Falco's effect and special summon Shaddoll Beast face down," Eu said. "I also activate my Shaddoll Core," Eu said. "Shaddoll Core allows me to special summon itself as a Level 9 Dark Spellcaster with 1450 attack and 1950 defense points in face-up defense position," Eu said.

"Not a problem," Ichigo said. "My other Red-Eyes destroy Eu's Shaddoll Beast and Meteor Black Comet Dragon destroy her Shaddoll Core," Ichigo ordered. As both Dragon destroyed Eu's other defenses. "Now then, Black Luster Soldier, attack Eu's life points directly!" Ichigo as Black Luster Soldier charged and swung his sword at Eu; whipping out her remaining life points.

{Eu 0000/Ichigo 2900}

"Good game you three. Good luck in the tournament." Ichigo said and began to walk away. "Girls. Be careful during the tournament, there may be Rare Hunters lurking around. If you encounter one, call me or Eu to deal with them. We are allowed to stop all Rare Hunters we encounter and confiscate all items they have, this includes decks, locator cards, and Duel Disk." Ichigo said.

"Ok." The girls said. With that done, Ichigo went back upstairs to his room and went to bed.

Time Skip

The next day, Seto officially started the tournament. Seto told all the contestants to meet at Domino Square for him to formally restate the rules and formally start the Battle City Tournament. Seto decided to send his Blimp to broadcast the video to everyone down below.

"Those who are here are all Level 5 or higher Duelist. The Duel Disks on your arms are proof of that. The stage of this tournament is the entire town of Domino City! No matter where you are in the city…if two Duelists come face to face, you may fight! Each Duelist will use a 40 card deck! The loser must surrender a rare card of the winner's choice! In this Battle City… as you win, your deck will become stronger and stronger! Only sixteen contestants participating in the Battle Royal will make it to the Finals! As for the location of the Finals… its location is hidden somewhere within the city! Because I plan to enter this contest along with everyone fairly, even I don't know where the Finals will be held. Before we get started, take a look at this plate. This plate is a Locator Card. When all the Locator Cards from the 96 participating Duelists are gathered, a map of Domino City is revealed. The Locator Cards have a special prismatic coating. If you stack six of them, a light will shine in a certain spot on the plate. That spot is the location of the Finals! And, there's one more rule. The winner of each Duel will get their opponent's Locator Cards! Only those who collect six Puzzle Cards can reach the unknown location of the Finals. Now, Battle City will begin! Duelists! Scatter across this city and locate your enemies!" Seto finished his speech. With that, the Battle City Tournament started.

Scene Change: Twenty Minutes later

Ichigo was walking around when someone yelled to Ichigo.

"Hey! The guy with the orange hair!" Someone yelled. Ichigo turned to see some person that looks approximately 12 or 13 with a duel disk on his arm.

"Yes?" Ichigo replied.

"Let's Duel!" the boy said.

"Sure. What's your name?" Ichigo asked.

"My name is Hao," Hao said. The two found a suitable spot away from traffic. Ichigo and Hao activated their duel disk. Once the set-up process finishes Hao and Ichigo started their duel.

{Hao 4000/ Ichigo 4000}

"I'll start," Ichigo said. "I activate Red-Eyes Insight and send Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragons to the graveyard to get "Red-Eyes Fusion to my hand," Ichigo said. "I then activate my Red-Eyes Fusion. By sending one of my Red-Eyes Black Dragons from my deck and the other Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact to the grave to fusion summon Meteor Black Comet Dragon!" Ichigo said. "By sending my last copies of Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the grave, you take 1200 points of damage," Ichigo said.

{Hao 2800/ Ichigo 4000}

"I set one card down and end my turn," Ichigo said.

"My turn, draw," Hao said. "I set one monster down and a face-down card. I end my turn." Hao said.

"During your end phase, I activate my spell card, Mystical Space Typhoon. I destroy your face down card." Ichigo said. A large gust of wind blew and destroyed Hao's Beckoning Light. "With that, draw," Ichigo said. "I summon my Red-Eyes Retro Dragon in attack mode," Ichigo said. A smaller version of Red-Eyes Black Dragon appeared. "Red-Eyes Retro Dragon attack Hao's set monster," Ichigo ordered. Red-Eyes Retro Dragon blast a fireball at Hao's set to reveal a white wolf.

"You activate my Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter's effect!" Hao said. "I can destroy one card on the field. I then must send the top 3 cards from my deck to the graveyard." Hao said. "The card I choose to destroy is your Meteor Black Comet Dragon!" Hao said. Meteor Black Comet Dragon glowed white then imploded.

"When Meteor Black Comet Dragon is sent to the graveyard, I can special summon one normal monster from my grave," Ichigo said. "Rise again, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Ichigo declared.

"I then send the top three cards from my deck to the graveyard due to Ryko's other effect," Hao said. As he sent his Raiden, Hand of the Lightsworn, Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress and his Felis, Lightsworn Archer. "When Felis, Lightsworn Archer is sent from the deck to the grave due to a monster's effect, I can special summon her!" Hao said. From Hao's graveyard, a golden glow shot out of it and landed on the field. Felis landed on the field face-up defense mode.

"Red-Eyes Black Dragon, attack Hao's Felis, Lightsworn Archer," Ichigo ordered. Red-Eyes Black Dragon fired a large fireball at Felis, Lightsworn Archer and destroying her. "I end my turn," Ichigo said.

"Because I have four or more Lightsworns in my graveyard, I can special summon my Judgment Dragon!" Hao said as a large gray dragon descended to the field. "By special summoning Judgment Dragon this turn, I cannot normal summon or special summon monsters for the rest of this turn (1)," Hao explained. "Now by paying 1000 of my life points, I can destroy all cards on the field except itself," Hao said.

{Hao 1800/ Ichigo 4000}

Judgment Dragon fired white flames from its mouth and destroyed Ichigo's monsters on the field. "Judgment Dragon, attack Ichigo directly!" Hao said as Judgment Dragon once again fired white flames from its mouth and hit Ichigo.

{Hao 1800/ Ichigo 1000}

"At my end phase, I must top four cards from my deck to the graveyard," Hao said. As he sent his three copies of Necro Gardna and another copy of Judgment Dragon.

"Draw," Ichigo said. "I activate my Return of the Dragon Lord," Ichigo said. "To special summon my Meteor Black Comet Dragon!" Ichigo said as his dragons appeared. "Red Meteor Black Comet Dragon, attack Hao's Judgment Dragon!" Ichigo ordered.

"Not so fast, by removing my Necro Gardna from the grave, I can negate that attack!" Hao said as a ghost of a warrior intercepted Meteor Black Comet Dragon's attack.

"I end my turn," Ichigo said.

"Draw. By paying 1000 of my life points, I can destroy all cards on the field except itself." Hao said.

{Hao 0800/ Ichigo 1000}

Judgment Dragon fired white flames from its mouth at Meteor Black Comet Dragon.

"By removing my Return of the Dragon Lord, I can negate Black Comet Dragon's destruction!" Ichigo said. A clear barrier appeared; protecting Black Comet Dragon from the white flames.

"I switch my Judgment Dragon to defense mode and at my end phase, I must send the top four cards from my deck to the graveyard," Hao said. He sent his Charge of the Light Brigade, another Raiden, Hand of the Lightsworn, Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid and his Felis, Lightsworn Archer. "When Felis, Lightsworn Archer is sent from the deck to the grave due to a monster's effect, I can special summon her!" Hao said. From Hao's graveyard, a golden glow shot out of it and Felis landed on the field face-up defense mode.

"Draw," Ichigo said. "Red Meteor Black Comet Dragon, attack Hao's Judgment Dragon!" Ichigo ordered.

Once again, I removing my Necro Gardna from the grave, I can negate that attack!" Hao said as a ghost of a warrior intercepted Meteor Black Comet Dragon's attack.

"I end my turn," Ichigo said.

"Draw. I active my Solar Recharge." Hao said. "By discard 1 "Lightsworn" monster; I can draw 2 cards, then send I must send the top 2 cards of your Deck to the Graveyard," Hao explained. "I send my Wulf, Lightsworn Beast from my hand to the graveyard to draw two more cards," Hao said. I then send the top two cards to the graveyard." Hao said as he sent another Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter and Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress. "At my end phase, I must top four cards from my deck to the graveyard," Hao said. He sent his two other copies of Charge of the Light Brigade, Gold Sarcophagus and his Lumina, Lightsworn Summoner to the graveyard.

"Draw. I activate Red-Eyes Insight and send Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragons to the graveyard to get "Red-Eyes Fusion to my hand." Ichigo said. "I then activate my Red-Eyes Fusion. By sending my Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragons from my deck and the other Meteor Dragon Red-Eyes Impact to the grave to fusion summon Meteor Black Comet Dragon!" Ichigo said. "By sending my Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon to the grave, you take 1400 points of damage," Ichigo said.

{Hao 0000/ Ichigo 1000}

"Man that was a fun duel," Hao said.

"No kidding. My Meteor Black Comet Dragon was the only thing stopping you from winning." Ichigo said.

"If only I managed to send another copy of Felis, Lightsworn Archer then I would have won," Hao said.

"How?" Ichigo asked.

"By tributing my Felis, Lightsworn Archer, I would have been able to destroy your Meteor Black Comet Dragon. I then would have attacked you for the game." Hao explained.

"I see. You would have won since I only had a 1000 life points left." Ichigo said.

"Anyways, a loss is a loss," Hao said as he took out his locator card and his Judgment Dragon. "Here you go," Hao said.

"I'll just take the locator card," Ichigo said.

"Why?" Hao asked.

"Because I don't run any Lightsworn in any of my decks. I'll honestly sell your Judgment Dragon and you'll probably buy it again." Ichigo said.

"You're right," Hao said. "But isn't it against the rules for the tournament?" Hao asked; worried about the rules of the tournament.

"Fine," Ichigo said and took Judgment Dragon. Hao turned and walked away.

"HEY HAO!" Ichigo yelled. Hao turned back to Ichigo.

"Yes?" Hao asked.

"I heard you need another copy of Judgment Dragon. I got one for cheap do you want to buy it?" Ichigo asked. Hao smirked and realized what Ichigo was trying to do.

"I am. How much are you selling it for?" Hao asked.

"100 yen," Ichigo replied. Hao took out 100 yen coin and gave it to Ichigo.

"Thanks," Hao said and walked away.

"See ya kid," Ichigo said and walked off. Ichigo noticed that there weren't any more duelists in this area. Ichigo began to walk down the road to a nearby park. As Ichigo was walking, he didn't notice he bumped into someone.

"Sorry," Ichigo said and looked at the person he bumped into.

"You… bumped into me." The young man said. Ichigo noticed that he was wearing some sort of formal attire.

"Is this guy a rich kid or something?" Ichigo thought.

"Young Master!" Someone said. Ichigo looked behind the kid to see two other guys running behind him. One holding a computer and another holding a duel disk.

"Took you two long enough to get here. I'm challenging this noob to a duel!" The rich kid ordered.

"Yes, Young Master." The two servants said.

"Can we at least go to the park straight ahead so that we aren't blocking traffic?" Ichigo suggested. The four moved to the nearby park. Ichigo activated his duel disk and inserted his deck. Meanwhile, one of the servants placed the duel disk on the rich kid and activated it for him.

"Ready to lose noob?" The rich kid asked.

"I'm ready to duel…" Ichigo said. "Wait… what is your name?"

"You don't know my name?" The rich kid asked.

"No… If I know your name, why would I ask it?" Ichigo countered.

"My name is Slade Princeton!" The young man said.

"Ok… Slade, my name is Ichigo." Ichigo said.

{Slade 4000/ Ichigo 4000}

"I'll go first," Ichigo said. "I summon my Maiden with Eyes of Blue and end my turn," Ichigo said.

"Please. Let me tell you how to a real turn is." Slade said as he draws. "I set one monster face down, set two cards and then activate my field spell, The Gates of Dark World!" Shade yelled. Behind Slade, a dark purple gate appeared. Some of the designs on the gate resemble Greek or Roman architecture. " I then activate Drag Down to the Grave!" Slade said. "Both players reveal to each other their hand. Then their opponent chooses one card and discards it. Afterward, both players draw a card." Slade explained. Both Ichigo and Slade walked to the middle of the field. Shade showed Ichigo his remaining card.

"I choose Snoww, Unlight of Dark World," Ichigo said and then showed Slade his hand. Slade could see a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, two copies of Silver's Cry and a Dragon Spirit of White.

"I choose the Blue-Eyes White Dragon," Slade said. Both players returned to their respective sides, sent the selected card to the graveyard, and drew a card.

"When my Snoww is discarded from my hand, I can add one Dark World card to my hand." Shade said as he looks through his deck. "I choose my Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World." Shade said. "I active my face down card, Graceful Charity." Shade said. "I can draw three cards and then discard two." Shade said as he draws three cards and discards two. "When my Belige, Vanguard of Dark World is discarded, he can special summon himself to my field." Shade said. From Slade's graveyard, a dark purple glow shot out of it and landed on the field. Belige landed on the field face-up attack mode. "I also discard another copy of Snoww and I add my Dark World Lighting." Shade said. "I set two more cards down and activate another Drag Down to the Grave!" Slade said. Both Ichigo and Slade walked to the middle of the field again. Just like before, Shade showed Ichigo his remaining card.

"I choose Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World," Ichigo said and then showed Slade his hand. Slade could see two copies of Silver's Cry, Trade-In and a Dragon Spirit of White.

"I choose the Dragon Spirit of White," Slade said. Both players returned to their respective sides, sent the selected card to the graveyard, and drew a card.

"When Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World is discarded, I can use his effect to destroy one card on my opponent's side of the field." Shade explained. "I choose your maiden!" Shade said. From Shade's graveyard, a violet lighting bolt shot out and hit Ichigo's maiden.

"When my Maiden with the Eyes of Blue is targeted by a card effect, I can Special Summon one copy of Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand, deck or graveyard," Ichigo explained. "Come forth Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Ichigo said. The Maiden with Eyes of Blue put her hands together and began to pray. From Ichigo's deck, one of Ichigo's cards began to glow and shot out of the deck to the field. Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared on the field and let out a mighty roar as the Maiden with Eyes of Blue was destroyed by Grapha's effect.

"From the graveyard, Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World's other effect!" Shade yelled. "By returning my Belige, Vanguard of Dark World from the field back to my hand, I can special summon from the graveyard my Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World!" Shade explained. On the field, Belighe did a small bow before glowing a dark violet and flew back to the hand. Suddenly, the ground shook and Ichigo could see a gray burst out from the ground and pulled its way from the ground. "Grapha, attack Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Shade ordered.

"But my Blue-Eyes is stronger!" Ichigo yelled.

"Due to my field spell, Grapha is 3000!" Shade yelled. Grapha fired a blast of violet flames white Blue-Eyes fired back a blast of white energy. Both of their attacks negated each other's and both were destroyed. "I end my turn." Shade said.

"Draw," Ichigo said. "I activate Dragon Shrine," Ichigo said. "This card allows me to send one Dragon monster to the graveyard. If that card I sent was a normal monster, I could send another Dragon to the grave." Ichigo explained. "I sent my White Stone of Legend to the grave," Ichigo said. "When White Stone of Legend is sent to the graveyard, I can add a Blue-Eyes White Dragon to my hand," Ichigo explains. "Now I active Trade-In," Ichigo said. "I can discard one level 8 monster from my hand to draw two cards," Ichigo explained as he sent his Blue-Eyes White Dragon to the grave to draw two more cards. "Now I activate my Silver's Cry. It allows me to special summon one Normal Dragon monster from the graveyard." Ichigo explained. "Return, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Ichigo said. "Not only that, I now activate two Return of the Dragon Lords. This card allows me to Special one level seven or eight from the graveyard. Come forth Blue-Eyes White Dragons!" Ichigo said. Ichigo's empty field now has three Blue-Eyes White Dragons on the field.

"IMPOSSIBLE!" Shade screamed in fear.

"I set both of my cards facedown and my first Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack Shade's face-down card.!" Ichigo ordered. Ichigo's first Blue-Eyes White Dragon fired a white beam at Shade's facedown card to reveal Morphing Jar.

"When my Morphing Jar is flipped face-up, both players have to discard their entire hand and draw five new cards!" Shade said. Shade discarded his two cards and both players drew five new cards. "Also when Belige, Vanguard of Dark World is discarded, he can special summon himself to my field." Shade said. From Slade's graveyard, a dark purple glow shot out of it and landed on the field. Belige landed on the field face-up defense mode.

"No matter. My second Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack Shade's Belige, Vanguard of Dark World!" Ichigo ordered. The second Blue-Eyes White Dragon fired a white beam at Shade's monster end destroyed the monster. "Now, my final Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack Shade directly!" Ichigo ordered. The final Blue-Eyes White Dragon fired a white beam at Shade.

{Slade 1000/ Ichigo 4000}

"During my Main Phase two, I can activate my Cards of Consonance. This allows me to discard one level two or lower dragon type and draw two cards (2)." Ichigo said as he discarded his White Stone of the Ancient to draw two more cards. I set two cards down and end my turn." Ichigo said.

"Finally, draw." Shade said. "I activate Dark World Lightning. This allows me to destroy one face-down card on the field. Once that effect is done, I can discard a card." Shade said. "The one I pick is the one on my right." Shade said. Purple lighting shot down and stuck the card.

"I activate the same card you just picked, go Jar of Avarice!" Ichigo said. "This card allows me to return five cards from my graveyard, back to the deck and draw one card," Ichigo explained as Ichigo added his Silver's Cry, Dragon Shrine, Maiden with Eyes of Blue, Dragon Spirit of White and Trade-in back to the deck, shuffled and draw one card.

"Due to Dark World Lightning, I discard my Broww, Huntsman of Dark World." Shade said. "When Broww is discarded, I can draw an additional card." Shade said as he drew another card. "I then activate my field spell's effect." Shade said. The dark purple gate began to glow. "I can remove from play 1 Fiend-Type monster from my Graveyard, discard one Fiend-Type monster and then draw one card." Shade said. "I remove my Broww, discard another Broww to draw one card." Shade said. "Since Broww was just discarded, I can draw an additional card." Shade said. "Now I activate another Dark World Lightning and destroy the middle card." Shade said. The same violet lighting shot down and stuck Ichigo's face-down to reveal Silver's Cry. "The card I discard now is my Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World!" Shade said.

"SHIT!" Ichigo yelled.

"When Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World is discarded, I can use his effect to destroy one card on my opponent's side of the field." Shade explained. "I choose your final face-down card!" Shade said as Ichigo's Polymerization was destroyed. "I now activate my Reckless Greed." Shade said. "I can draw two cards but, I skip two of my draw phases." Shade said as he drew two cards. "Now I activate Dark World Dealings. Both players draw 1 card and then discard one card." Shade said. Both players drew a card. Ichigo discarded his White Stone of Legend while Shade discarded his Force of Darkness. " I activate another Dark World Dealings!" Shade said as both players drew another card. Ichigo discarded his Dragon Shrine while Shade discarded his Mind Crush. "Dame it!" Shade yelled as he set two more cards down and ended his turn.

"Draw. Blue-Eyes White Dragon, attack Shade directly with WHITE LIGHTING!" Ichigo yelled as Blue-Eyes White Lighting fired a white beam at Shade and winning the duel.

{Slade 0000/ Ichigo 4000}

"I… lost?" Shade asked himself.

"You did," Ichigo said as he walked up and offer a handshake. Shade saw this, slapped Ichigo's hand away.

"Somehow you cheated!" Shade yelled.

"What?" Ichigo asked. "How?"

"Those Blue-Eyes White Dragons are fake! Only four copies were ever made and Seto Kaiba has three copies of them! Which means that those Blue-Eyes are fake!" Shade accused.

"No, they are not. I had Pegasus custom make this deck." Ichigo argued back.

"I don't believe you. If some nobody like you could ever meet Maximillion Pegasus." Shade said as he presses a button on the Duel Disk. Ichigo recognizes that button. A few days ago, Seto told Ichigo and the girls that there is a button on the Duel Disk which allows duelist to report cheaters to KaibaCorp computer. From there, the Battle City commissioner would come over to investigate. Ichigo sighed and sat by a nearby bench; waiting for the Battle City commissioner. A few minutes later, Ichigo heard a familiar voice.

"Hello Ichigo," Mokuba said.

"Hey, Mokuba. Seto made you the Battle City commissioner." Ichigo guessed.

"Yep," Mokuba replied.

"I'm amazed that Seto is allowing you to walk where ever you want," Ichigo said.

"Not really. Seto is keeping an eye on me wherever I need to go." Mokuba said as he pointed at a nearby street camera.

"HEY! WHO ARE YOU!" Shade yelled, just realizing someone is talking to the 'cheater'.

"My name is Kaiba Mokuba, the Battle City commissioner," Mokuba announced. Shade immediately laughed.

"Ya right! Your probably some kid the 'cheater' paid to pretend to be the Battle City commissioner." Shade accused.

"He's screwed." Mokuba thought.

"Hey Mokuba," Ichigo said.

"Yes?" Mokuba asked.

"Knowing Seto, he'll probably arrive here by jumping from his helicopter." Ichigo joked.

"He's not that dramatic." Mokuba countered.

"Wanna bet?" Ichigo challenge.

"Sure," Mokuba replied.

"If I win… on Seto's birthday, you dress up in a kawaii version of a Blue-Eyes White Dragon and follow Seto for the entire day," Ichigo said.

"Your… So EVIL!" Mokuba yelled in fear as he imagined what that would look like. "I need something to match it." Mokuba thought. Then he thought of the best counter. "If I win, you have to dress like a butler and serve Yuzu and Karin on their birthday," Mokuba said.

"Sure," Ichigo said casually. A few minutes later, a large whirlwind suddenly blew dust around the park. Ichigo and Mokuba looked up to see Seto's helicopter. Ichigo smiled and Mokuba groaned. The helicopter door opened and Seto jumped out of the helicopter. Ichigo noticed that Seto is dressed differently. Seto now wore a long white sleeveless KaibaCorp-designed coat featuring shoulder pads and a raised studded collar, with black sleeves from his shirt coming out from under. He has extra belts in pairs strapped around his upper arms and shins. He has a KaibaCorp Duel Disk on his left arm.

"Ichigo. Mokuba." Seto said to the two.

"Hello Seto," Ichigo said.

"Was this all necessary?" Mokuba asked.

"No," Seto said.

" … Sir." Shade started to say to Seto. "It is an honor to-"

"Shut up!" Seto yelled at Shade. "You think I would dare talk to you after all the trash talk to my little brother and my friend!" Seto yelled.

"Um…" Shade mumbled.

"Ichigo's deck is a real deck that was personally made by Maximillion Pegasus himself," Seto said. "Since you lost your duel against Ichigo, give him your rarest card and your locator card," Seto said. Shade grumbled wanting to refuse but complied in fear. Shade gave Ichigo one of his copies of Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World and the locator card.

"Thank you," Ichigo said. "See you two later," Ichigo said and walked away from the brother.

"Mokuba come with me," Seto said and began to walk away.

"Yes Seto," Mokuba said and walked with his older brother.

Scene Change: Amaterasu's shrine

In another dimension, in a beautiful Japanese Shrine, a woman was waking up. She wore long Miko robes. It is decorated with images of fire flowing around. This is Amaterasu the Japanese Goddess of Sun and one of the rules of the Japanese pantheon. She walked around her shrine. She walked outside of her Shrine to embrace the beauty of her dimension. As she embraced the beauty, a golden sealed scroll appeared next to her. Amaterasu was surprised at the sudden appearance of the scroll. She grabbed it and looked. The scroll has a golden glow. Amaterasu noticed at the scroll is sealed is with a wax seal. On closer inspection, she realizes that the impression on the wax seal is her seal. "Interesting. I don't remember writing a scroll and sealing it with my seal." She thought. She grabbed the scroll and went back inside her shrine. She walked to her office. She sealed her room and sat down. Amaterasu placed the sealed scroll down on the table. She then pricked her finger and let a few drops of her golden blood on the wax seal. The wax seal split perfectly apart. Amaterasu then unwinded the scroll and began to read. A few minutes later, Amaterasu jumped up and walked to her mirror. Amaterasu sent a small burst of divine reiatsu through the mirror. A few seconds later, the image of Yasaka appeared.

"Hello Amaterasu-sama." Yasaka said.

"Hello, Yasaka. I need you to get me Ichigo immediately." Amaterasu said.

"As you wish Amaterasu-sama," Yasaka said and her image disappeared from the mirror.

Scene Change: Kyoto: Yasaka's office

Yasaka was reading various paperwork. Ichigo tasked her to look for any information about Moka after their forced separation. The last public records about her when she last attended Karakura Middle. After that, she disappeared from public records. She managed to get some records of her other family. While she was reading the paperwork, she felt a tap in her mindscape. Yasaka recognized this as Amaterasu-sama requesting her presence. Yasaka opened the private mental connection between her and Amaterasu-sama.

"Hello Amaterasu-sama." Yasaka said.

"Hello, Yasaka. I need you to get me Ichigo immediately." Amaterasu said.

"As you wish Amaterasu-sama," Yasaka said and close the connection to Amaterasu-sama. After that, she opened the private connection to Ichigo.

Scene Change: Domino City

Ichigo was walking around looking for another duelist when suddenly Ichigo heard Yasaka's voice.

"Ichigo. Can you hear me?" Yasaka asked.

"I do. What's going on?" Ichigo asked.

"I don't know why but, Amaterasu-sama requested your presents immediately," Yasaka said.

"Ok. Give me a few minutes," Ichigo said and Yasaka closed the connection.

"Yhwach," Ichigo called out to his Quincy Spirit.

"Yes, Ichigo?" Yhwach replied.

"I am going to give you control of my body while I go see Yasaka," Ichigo said.

"Ok Ichigo," Yhwach said as Ichigo changed into his Shinigami form while Yhwach possessed Ichigo's body.

"Yuzu. Karin. Eu." Ichigo called out through the connection.

"Yes, Ichi-nii?" Karin replied.

"I am going to Kyoto immediately and Yhwach is taking control of my body," Ichigo said.

"Ok," Karin replied. Ichigo closed the connection. Ichigo then went to an unused alleyway and opened up a Garganta and jumped in.

Scene Change: Kyoto: Yasaka's office

Ichigo jumped out of the Garganta and appeared in Yasaka's office.

"Hello Yasaka," Ichigo said.

"Hello, Ichigo. Amaterasu-sama is ready to talk." Yasaka said. Suddenly Yasaka's body began to float and rise. Her eyes began to glow golden.

"Hello Ichigo," Amaterasu said.

"Hello Amaterasu-sama," Ichigo replied. "Why did you have Yasaka get me?" Ichigo asked.

"Straight to the point," Amaterasu said. "Well this morning, I discovered an unknown sealed scroll. I was suspicious about the scroll until I saw that I sealed this scroll. I unsealed the scroll and unrolled it and began to read. I need to send you to an alternate future." Amaterasu said.

"Alternate future?" Ichigo asked.

"Yes. According to the scroll, a few millennia ago, one Japanese family was destined to seal a being of great evil by using a magical katana. The chosen one was about to defeat the evil being but the evil being managed to distract the chosen one long enough for the being to open a time portal and throw the chosen one in the time portal. The chosen one soon appeared in the future time; unable to defeat the evil being. " Amaterasu said.

"So… how do I get involved with this?" Ichigo asked.

"I need you to rescue the chosen one from the future and help bring him back to the past," Amaterasu said.

"I see… So when are you sending me to this alternate future?" Ichigo asked.

"I'll send you when you are ready. I will be using a slightly different method to send you there." Amaterasu said. "The method I will send you there will require you to be asleep."

"Why?" Ichigo asked.

"Due to how much power you have Ichigo, if you move too much during the journey to the alternate future, you might accidentally interrupt the transfer through the time-stream," Amaterasu explained.

"I see," Ichigo said. "Wait. How will I get back to my time?" Ichigo asked. Amaterasu smiled and gave Ichigo a sealed scroll and a small bag.

"When you managed to help the chosen one return to the past and help him seal the evil being, find a safe place and start a fire and throw contents of that pouch in the fire. The fire should turn a golden color. Once that is done, walk into the fire." Amaterasu instructed.

"What!" Ichigo yelled.

"Ichigo. The fire will not harm you." Amaterasu said; trying to calm Ichigo down.

"What would the fire do?" Ichigo asked.

"The contents of the pouch would turn the fire into a sort of portal to enter my shrine(3)," Amaterasu said.

"Is that safe?" Ichigo asked.

"It should be. Only people who can enter my dimension are myself and anyone who receives that pouch." Amaterasu said.

"Ok," Ichigo said as he placed both the pouch and scroll into his mindscape for safekeeping.

"Are you ready?" Amaterasu asked.

"I am," Ichigo replied.

"Then sleep," Amaterasu ordered. Like under a magic spell, Ichigo's body collapsed. Amaterasu used her magic to prevent Ichigo's body from falling and sent his body to her dimension. After that Amaterasu disconnected her connection to Yasaka's body.

Scene Change: Amaterasu's Dimension

Once Amaterasu made sure Ichigo's body is safe, she cast a few spells to make sure that Ichigo stays asleep and safe throughout the entire journey. One that was done, she used her powers and opened up a time portal. She then kissed Ichigo on his forehead.

"Good luck my son," Amaterasu said as she pushed Ichigo's body into the time portal. Once Ichigo's body entered the time portal, Amaterasu allowed the portal to close. In the time portal, Ichigo's body floated down like it was traveling down a river. What felt like minutes later, another portal opened up and Ichigo's body entered the portal.

Scene Change: Desert

Everyone here speaks English and [This is Japanese]

In the desert, it appeared to be two people running through the desert. One appears male. He is fairly tall and lean but fit. He has long jet-black hair that he keeps tied in a Japanese chonmage topknot. The man's clothing consists of a simple white kimono robe with gray trim on the sleeves and edges, a white obi sash around his waist, and a pair of wooden geta sandals. Tied to his side, is a long black katana. While the other person appears to be female. She appears to be a young woman with green skin, black hair, a black dress, and red lips.

"Let's stop here tonight. It is starting to get darker." The male said.

"Sure 'Jack'." The female said. The two stopped and gathered small pieces of wood to start another campfire. While they sat around and talk about different things, a sudden wind started to blow. Then the women stood up.

" 'Ikra' ?" 'Jack' asked.

"Something is going on…"The newly dubbed 'Ikra' said. Suddenly a flash of bright light blinded the two. They both covered their eyes. When the bright light dimmed; the two could see a body. He appears to have spiky orange hair. He is a fairly tall, lean-built young man with peach skin and brown eyes. He is wearing a black shihakushō with two white shoulder plates crossing his chest in an X shape and a white cloak with black markings tied around his waist.

["Where am I?"] Ichigo said as he woke up. 'Ikra' looked confused at Ichigo while 'Jack' immediately recognized what Ichigo is saying.

["You speak Japanese?"] 'Jack' replied.

["I do. Who are you and where am I?"] Ichigo asked.

["You are in the desert."] 'Jack' attempted to answer.

"Can you two please stop speaking that gibberish and speak English!" 'Ikra' yelled.

["Do you speak some form of English?"] 'Jack' asked.

"I do," Ichigo answered.

"So what is your name stranger?" 'Ikra' asked.

"Isn't it rude to ask for a name with our introducing yourself?" Ichigo countered.

" 'Ikra'." 'Ikra' said.

"'Jack'." 'Jack' said.

"Ichigo," Ichigo said.

"So where did you come from?" 'Jack' asked.

"Should I answer truthfully or not?" Ichigo thought.

"Give an answer vague enough where they do not learn much about us but give them enough information to keep them from asking for more," Kyōka suggested.

"I do not know how I got here," Ichigo said. "But, I know I must help a warrior here with his destiny," Ichigo said.

"I see. Another ally against Aku." 'Jack' said.

"Aku?" Ichigo question. Immediately 'Jack' told Ichigo about Aku and all the abilities and encounters with Aku. Meanwhile 'Ikra' was deep in thought.

"Shit. Another samurai to deal with. Unlike 'Jack', I can sense energy from him. That portal was created by a deity." 'Ikra' thought. "How? I thought I destroyed all of them millennia ago." 'Ikra' thought. "I should continue to act like I was before." 'Ikra' concluded.

"What about you?" Ichigo asked 'Ikra'.

"What do you mean?" 'Ikra' asked.

"Why are you against Aku?" Ichigo asked.

"Just like 'Jack's father, my father fought against Aku. As punishment for his actions, Aku trapped my father in a ring of fire for eternity. There is a legend of a powerful magical jewel in the desert that has the power to free my father." 'Ikra' said.

"I see," Ichigo said.

"Well, we should get some sleep in before continuing the run." 'Jack' suggested. With that 'Jack', 'Ikra' and Ichigo got ready to sleep on the ground. Ichigo pretended to sleep so he can focus on what his spirits are saying.

"King. Something doesn't feel right about her."Zangetsu said.

"I agree. I'll keep an eye on her. Ichigo said.

Scene Change: Morning

Ichigo, 'Ikra' and 'Jack' woke up, stretched a little and resume their run. The trio continued this cycle for a few days. Wake up. Run till the sunsets. Build a campfire. Cook food and eat. Sleep. Repeat. One day while they are running, they soon see a small bundle of trees.

"Look," Ichigo said.

"A mirage?" 'Ikra' asked.

"It might be." 'Jack' said. "But we have traveled far. I sense we are close." The trio ran closer and closer to the small bundle of trees. When they entered the small bundle of trees. 'Ikra' immediately spotted a small pond.

"Water!" 'Ikra' shouted and immediately cupped her hands into the pond and began to drink the water. While 'Ikra' was drinking water, 'Jack' looked up and noticed something.

"Our quest has ended." 'Jack' said. The trio looked to see above the pond to see a green jewel floating above the pond.

"The jewel." 'Ikra' said.

"My time on this miserable Aku-infested land will finally be over. Magical jewel, we have traveled through your desert. We have overcome every treacherous obstacle. We have been awed by its breathtaking beauty. We have earned its respect. We now humbly request to use your power. Fulfill our destiny!" 'Jack' yelled. Suddenly the jewel began to glow. Suddenly it fired a large beam of green light towards the trio.

"What is happening?" 'Ikra' asked in fear.

"The wizard spoke of this. Only one of the pure heart may use the power of the jewel. It is testing us." 'Jack' answered.

"King. We got a visitor." Zangetsu said. Ichigo sighed and entered his mindscape.

Change Scene: Ichigo's mindscape

Ichigo appeared in his mindscape. Ichigo could see that all his Zanpakutō spirits and familiars are ready to attack the stranger. The stranger has blue skin, six arms, and a humanoid face with a goatee.

"Who are you?" Ichigo asked.

"I am the guardian of this jewel." The being said.

"Ok. So what are you doing here?" Ichigo asked

"My job is to guard this jewel until the chosen one arrives." The being said.

"Well… 'Jack' is the chosen one so what is the problem?" Ichigo asked.

"The problem is the girl." The being said.

"The girl?" Ichigo asked.

"Her heart is the complete opposite of the chosen one's heart." The being said.

"I see. What would have you done if I wasn't here to talk to you." Ichigo asked.

"Why?" The being asked.

"I got a plan," Ichigo said.

"What I would have done would attack the girl until she leaves or is dead." The being answered truthfully.

"Ok so here is the plan…" Ichigo said and told the being the plan.

"Ok. That will work." The being said. With the plan ready, Ichigo left his mindscape.

Scene Change: Forest

Ichigo returned to see that the beam of green light is still shining down on them. Ichigo quickly summoned Tsuki no Hansha. Ichigo made sure that both 'Jack' and 'Ikra' could see Tsuki no Hansha. "Shatter, Kyōka Suigetsu." Ichigo said and focused on using Kanzen Saimin on 'Jack' and 'Ikra'. The jewel stopped shooting the green light at them. Suddenly the earth started to shake.

"Something is wrong." 'Jack' said. Suddenly a being appeared. The being has blue skin, six arms, and a humanoid face with a goatee.

"We have been deceived." 'Ikra' accused.

"No. There must be some mistake. We are of a pure heart." 'Jack' said. "I will not fight." 'Jack' decided.

"I will also not fight," Ichigo said. From the being's eyes, it fired a red beam of light at Ichigo, 'Jack' and 'Ikra'. 'Ikra' jumped out of the way. While Ichigo and 'Jack' got hit by the beam. The beam injured them. In 'Jack's injured state, he managed to look up to see a bat-like creature flying around the blue being. The blue being used its fist to attack the bat creature. The bat creature managed to dodge many of the attacks. Unfortunately, one of the fists managed to hit the bat creature in the head; forcing it to land on the ground. When the bat creature landed down, 'Jack' managed to see that it wasn't a bat creature but it was 'Ikra'!

"You possess the power of flight?" 'Jack' said.

"Yes. And much more." 'Ikra' said. Suddenly 'Ikra' began to grow big and taller. In a few seconds, 'Ikra' became as tall as the blue being.

"What is happening?" 'Jack' said.

"I'm not sure," Ichigo replied. The blue being swung a punch at 'Ikra'. She blocked the punch with her right elbow. The blue being swung another punch at 'Ikra'. She ducked and slid back. The blue step forward to get closer and all three arms on the right side sent a punch toward Ikra. She twisted her waist and then sent left hook and then a right hood towards the being. She then sent a punch directly at the being's gut. While being yelled in pain, she easily managed to lift the being above her head and threw him a few feet away. The being crash down and laid there in defeat. 'Ikra' shrunk down and jumped towards the being's head. She pried the jewel off its head and raised it with a smile on her face.

"The jewel. We have succeeded! At long last, my quest has come to an end." 'Jack' said. Suddenly 'Jack' heard glass breaking. 'Jack' looked and saw the broken jewel near 'Ikra's feet. "What have you done?" 'Jack' asked. Suddenly 'Ikra' let out a maniacal laugh. "'Ikra'?" 'Jack' asked in confusion.

"No, fool!" 'Ikra' said. Suddenly she transformed into what appears male. He appears humanoid with a black body, a green mouth, and a red beard extending from the bottom of his chin. He has six horns, four long and two short, on his head, and eyebrows were made of red flickering flame. Instead of visible feet, Ichigo could see that his body simply ending at the bottom with robe-like darkness. "It is I, Aku," Aku said as he grew several feet tall. 'Jack' was struck with fear. "Yes, samurai. You have been betrayed. I and lkra are the same." Aku said.

"No." 'Jack' said, trying to deny the news.

"Oh, yes. You see, I had a dream. No, a nightmare of a jewel that had the power to send you back in time. I knew that this was no mere dream, but a premonition. I had to destroy this powerful jewel. But I did not know its whereabouts." Aku said.

"No." 'Jack' said.

"Yes, samurai. I knew you would find it." Then Aku did a poor imitation of 'Ikra's voice and said. "My poor father trapped in a ring of fire by mean old Aku." Then Aku laughed even more. "Fool!" Aku yelled out. In 'Jack's rage, he drew his katana and attacked Aku. Aku jumped and transformed into a bird-like creature.

"Fight me, coward!" 'Jack' yelled.

"Soon we will fight. But not until I find a way to defeat you and your sword. Now, how did you put it? Oh, yes. Your time on this miserable Aku-infested land continues." Aku said and let out a maniacal laugh as Aku flew away. 'Jack' yelled with rage and stab his sword on the ground.

"So this is the situation." Ichigo said as he walked up to 'Jack'.

"It is." 'Jack' said.

"Good thing that this is all an illusion," Ichigo said.

"WHAT!" 'Jack' yelled. Ichigo sealed Kyōka. 'Jack' heard glass breaking and could the jewel floating there. "What happened?" 'Jack' asked.

"Well… I managed to talk to the guardian of the Jewel. While Aku was still here, the guardian wouldn't allow you to use the jewel's power. So I decided to make an illusion of what happened here so that Aku would think his mission was accomplished." Ichigo explained.

"So what would I need to do to use the jewel's power?" 'Jack' asked.

"You need to willingly submit yourself to the jewel's judging again," Ichigo said.

"I see." 'Jack' said and took a deep breath. "Magical jewel, we have traveled through your desert. We have overcome every treacherous obstacle. We have been awed by its breathtaking beauty. We have earned its respect. We now humbly request to use your power. Fulfill my destiny!" 'Jack' said. Just like before, the jewel began to glow and fired a large beam of green light at 'Jack'. A few seconds later, the beam stopped. The blue being appeared again.

"Welcome chosen one. What do you need?" The blue being asked.

"I wish to return to my past so that I can defeat Aku." 'Jack' said.

"Very well. I will send you back to your time chosen one." The blue being said. The jewel on the blue being's forehead glowed green and shot a small beam in front of 'Jack'. Slowly a time portal opened up. 'Jack' and Ichigo quickly jumped inside the time portal. Behind them, the portal closed.

Scene Change: Early Japan: Aku's Cave

Everyone here speaks Japanese

Aku has just sent the Samurai into the future. "Do not worry samurai. You will see me again. But next time you will not be so fortunate." Aku said. Suddenly another portal opened up.

"That next is right NOW!" 'Jack' yelled as he attacked Aku. Aku was shocked that the samurai he just sent to the future was already back. Aku quickly transformed into a Chinese Dragon and fired black fire at 'Jack'. 'Jack' dodged the black fire. 'Jack' jumped from a ledge to land a hit on Aku. Aku saw this and manage to dodge 'Jack's attack. Ichigo managed to grab 'Jack' before he fell to the dark abyss.

"You alright?" Ichigo asked.

"I am." 'Jack' said. The two looked at Aku.

"TWO SAMURAI!" Aku yelled. Aku forced himself into two copies to deal with both samurais. Aku #1 transformed into a bat creature and flew away. While Aku #2 attack 'Jack' and Ichigo.

"I'll take care of the flying Aku," Ichigo said as he used Shunpō to chase the flying Aku.

"Foolish Samurai! If it was two against one, you would have a better chance against me!" Aku#1 taunted.

"Bakudō #4. Hainawa!" Ichigo chanted. A crackling yellow energy rope flew towards Aku. Aku managed to dodge it. "Bakudō #4. Hainawa!" Ichigo chanted again. Waves of crackling yellow energy rope aimed towards Aku. One of the Hainawa caught Aku. Ichigo grabbed the captured Aku and Shunpō back to the cave.

Meanwhile, Aku transformed into a four-armed gorilla and attempt to go on the offensive. It would use a pair of its arms to attack 'Jack' while the other pair of arms and legs advance closer to 'Jack'. While 'Jack' blocked the attacks and stepped back. This combination forced 'Jack' back to the edge.

"Any last words Samurai?" Aku asked. 'Jack' didn't reply but the look on 'Jack's face said it all. "So be it!" Aku yelled and charged at 'Jack'. Suddenly six thin wide beams of light that slam into Aku's midsection. 'Jack' and Aku turned to see Ichigo with the bound Aku.

"'Jack'. Let me take care of sealing Aku." Ichigo said.

"Why?" 'Jack' asked.

"It is because of what Aku is. Aku is a divine being powered by the eternal evil of humanity." Ichigo said.

"Evil of humanity?" 'Jack' asked.

"In every human, we have both the essence of good and evil in us. Aku feeds on the evil in our hearts." Ichigo said.

"Is there any way to get rid of the evil in our hearts?" 'Jack' questioned.

There is no true way to get rid of the evil in our hearts." Ichigo answered.

"Why?" 'Jack' asked.

"We have both good and evil in all of us. This is a key thing that makes us human. By taking good or evil out, we essentially lose our humanity." Ichigo said.

"I see." 'Jack' said. Ichigo took the bat-like Aku and place it a few feet away from Ichigo.

"Prologue - Halting Wraps" Ichigo yelled as he slammed his fingers into the ground and releases white spiritual energy, which coalesces into white fabric. The fabric wraps around the Bat Aku, covering him from head to toe. "Refrain - Serial Hundred Bolts" Ichigo shouted. The bounded Aku is then impaled by numerous metal bolts. "Finale - Fully Prohibited Great Seal" Ichigo yelled. An immense metal cube came crashing from above, slamming the bounded Aku into the bottom of the abyss. Ichigo then picked up the other Aku.

"Where are you going?" 'Jack' asked.

"I'm planning to seal this part of Aku in a completely different place from this Aku," Ichigo said.

"Why?" 'Jack' asked.

"So that in case this Aku is freed, it will not be as strong as before." Ichigo theorized.

"I see." 'Jack' said.

"'Jack', evacuate everyone still in the area," Ichigo instructed.

"Ok." 'Jack' replied. Ichigo immediately Shunpō'ed to Africa. Ichigo sense that this is the farthest from Japan. Ichigo threw Aku on the ground and began to chant.

"Prologue - Halting Wraps" Ichigo yelled as he slammed his fingers into the ground and releases white spiritual energy, which coalesces into white fabric. The fabric wraps around the Gorilla Aku, covering him/her from head to toe. "Refrain - Serial Hundred Bolts" Ichigo shouted. The bounded Aku is then impaled by numerous metal bolts. "Finale - Fully Prohibited Great Seal" Ichigo yelled. An immense metal cube came crashing from above, slamming the bounded Aku into the bottom of the ground. Ichigo used his Earthbending to force the cube and Aku to go as far as Ichigo could make it. After that, he filled the abyss with dirt to cover up its existence. Ichigo Shunpō'ed to 'Jack'. To see 'Jack' hugging an elderly couple and crying with tears of joy.

"'Jack' who are these people?" Ichigo asked.

"My parents." 'Jack' replied.

"My son. Why does this man call you 'Jack'?" The elder man asked.

"It is because father, I do not remember my name." 'Jack' said.

"Is this true my son." The father asked.

"It is the true father." 'Jack' said.

"Well then son. I am Emperor Yamamoto Shigekuni." Shigekuni said.

"Why do I feel like something mind-blowing is going to happen?" Ichigo thought.

"My son. My name is Empress Yamamoto Saori." Saori said.

"And you my son is Prince Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni." Shigekuni said.

"Fucking knew it!" Ichigo thought.

"So this is my name Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni," Genryūsai said. Suddenly Shigekuni started to cough blood.

"Father!" Genryūsai said. Ichigo looked at everyone and could see that all these people need help. Not only these people but everything around them. The life around them all feels dead. As if Aku took all the life of all of nature from them. Ichigo walked to Shigekuni and began to apply healing Kido on him. Immediately, pain on Shigekuni's face lessen and some of the scars began to shrink.

"Can you do this to all of us?" Saori asked.

"Possibly. Can you all gather everyone here?" Ichigo asked the surrounding citizen. Everyone saw what Ichigo did to their Emperor. All the citizens quickly gathered all the surviving citizens to where Ichigo asked for. Ichigo closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Ichigo slowly floated up a few feet. From their Ichigo shot a beam of green reiatsu to the sky, parting the black clouds and the green reiatsu rain down. The green reiatsu landed on the weaken citizens and the environment; slowly healing decades of abuse and damage. After a few minutes, Ichigo stopped and opened his eyes. The environment looks a lot better. Ichigo could feel life in the environment now. Ichigo also noticed that citizens look healthier than before.

"Sir. What is your name." One of the little children asked. The adults tried to hide the child in fear of Ichigo's retaliation.

"Forgive me for being rude," Ichigo said. "My name is Kurosaki Ichigo," Ichigo said and bowed to all of them. In response, everyone bowed to Ichigo. Ichigo led an exploration to find any storage units. They managed to find some storage units filled with raw seasoned meat. Ichigo and some of the few chefs from the villages started to cook the meat. Others found other storage units full of dried fruits and sake. That night everyone celebrated. Many celebrated their freedom. Three celebrated their family being reunited. One drank till the headaches go away; which it didn't.

The next morning, Ichigo helped the citizens rebuild their village. While this is happening, Emperor Yamamoto organized a meeting with his advisors. All the advisors appear male. The first one has dark skin, golden irises, and black hair. His name is Shihōin Kyūshi [Sudden Death]. The next advisor has pale skin, slate-gray eyes, and long black hair. His name is Kuchiki Hokori [Pride]. The third advisor is a tall muscular man with chin-length black hair. His name is Shiba Bakudan [Bomb]. The last advisor is also a tall muscular man with no hair. His name is Kasumiōji Kajiya [Blacksmith].

"My Emperor, why have you called this meeting. We should be helping with reconstruction." Kajiya said.

"The reason is that we need to give Ichigo a gift," Shigekuni said.

"A gift?" Bakudan said.

"Yes a gift," Shigekuni said. The advisors thought about what they could give to Ichigo.

"What about a weapon?" Kajiya suggested.

"No. Ichigo already had weapons," Shigekuni said.

"What if we invite him to stay with us?" Hokori asked.

"No," Shigekuni said.

"Why?" Hokori asked.

"Because he doesn't belong in this time," Shigekuni said.

"What do you mean my Emperor?" Kyūshi asked.

"It is because Ichigo came from the future," Shigekuni said.

"WHAT!" The advisors said. "HOW!?"

"I do not know. But, I do not wish for this knowledge to be leaked out to the public." Shigekuni said.

"Agreed." The advisors said.

"Now then, anyone else has any ideas?" Shigekuni asked.

"What if we ask Ichigo if any of our family still exists in his timeline?" Hokori asked.

"What do you mean?" Shigekuni asked.

"Well, we could have each a sealed scroll with our clan emblem on it. We write to our descendants about what Ichigo has done for us and ask them to honor the debt." Hokori said.

"Excellent idea," Shigekuni said. With that, the advisors left the meeting to prepare the sealed scrolls. Soon Saori entered the meeting room.

"So you heard the suggestions?" Shigekuni asked.

"I did," Saori said.

"Is that good enough?" Shigekuni asked.

"In all honestly… No, it isn't." Saori said.

"Then what should I do?" Shigekuni asked.

"Maybe adopt Ichigo into the family?" Saori suggested.

"What do you mean?" Shigekuni asked.

"Ichigo appears to know some sort of magic. Maybe we can ask him if he knows any spells to blood adopt him." Saori said.

"But we have nothing to give him to represent his connection to our family," Shigekuni said.

"Don't worry about that my husband. I will take care of that." Saori said.

Scene Change

Ichigo spent the next few days helping out the citizens. Some include cutting down trees, killing wild beast Aku kept as slaves and other minor things. Ichigo did one last walkthrough of Aku's fortress to make sure everything is empty. Ichigo walked out and saw Genryūsai outside.

"Is everyone gone?" Ichigo asked.

"Yes," Genryūsai said. Ichigo noticed that everyone is surrounded the safe area Ichigo told Genryūsai to set up. Ichigo summoned Kokugatsu and then Shunpo'ed about twenty feet above the mountain. "Getsuga…Tenshō!" Ichigo yelled as he fired Getsuga Tenshō down to the mountain and destroying the entire thing. Ichigo dismissed Kokugatsu and return to Genryūsai. Everyone clapped at the destruction of the final symbol of their dictator.

"Kurosaki Ichigo." Emperor Yamamoto said as the entire Yamamoto family walked up to Ichigo. "For your help in helping my son accomplish his destiny, we wish to adopt you into our family," Shigekuni said. Ichigo recognized this and from all the formal classes Kyōka pounded into his head, Ichigo did the only thing appropriate.

"Emperor Yamamoto, it would be an honor to be adopted into your family," Ichigo said as he bowed to Shigekuni. Shigekuni nodded to both Genryūsai and Saori. They walked towards Ichigo.

"Ichigo as a symbol of your adoption to Clan Yamamoto, we wish for you to wear this with honor," Shigekuni said. Genryūsai and Saori then draped a haori over Ichigo. Ichigo stood up and slipped the haori on properly. Ichigo looked closer to see this is a modified haori. This is a sleeveless white haori that has the Clan Yamamoto cress on the center, a square with a straight line at the center of each side (4). There were black and red flame pattern around the hem of the haori.

"Thank you," Ichigo said. Everyone clapped in and began another day of celebration. During the celebration, Genryūsai approached Ichigo.

"Hello Ichigo," Genryūsai said.

"Hello Genryūsai," Ichigo replied.

"My father wants to talk to you," Genryūsai said. Ichigo nodded and followed Genryūsai to find Shigekuni and four others sitting down at a table. Ichigo and Genryūsai bowed at the five.

"Thank you Genryūsai. You may leave." Shigekuni said and Genryūsai left. "Now Ichigo all five of us know about you being from a different future." Shigekuni began. Ichigo started to get nervous. Ichigo looked at the other four hope that they just look like coincidences.

"Yes, I am from the future," Ichigo said.

"I see," Shigekuni said. " Ichigo do you know of a spell or ritual which allows us to formally adopt you?" Shigekuni asked.

"Is there one?" Ichigo asked.

"There is one spell," Kyōka said and told Ichigo the requirements.

"There is one but, it will require all alive members of the family," Ichigo said.

"Ok then. We will do this privately." Shigekuni said.

"Now then. Let us introduce ourselves." One of the advisors said. "My name is Kuchiki Hokori," Hokori said.

"Shihōin Kyūshi," Kyūshi said.

"Shiba Bakudan," Bakudan said.

"Kasumiōji Kajiya," Kajiya said. Ichigo slapped his hand to his face and let out a small moan.

"Judging by your reaction, you know of our descendants?" Kyūshi asked.

"I sure do," Ichigo replied.

"Good," Hokori said as all five of them took out a sealed scroll and gave it to Ichigo.

"What is this?" Ichigo asked.

"These are sealed scrolls to our descendants," Kajiya said.

"Why?" Ichigo asked.

"These scrolls contain a message to our descendants which explains the eternal debt we owe you Yamamoto Kurosaki Ichigo," Bakudan said.

"I see," Ichigo said. "Is there a type of kidō to prevent tempering and should I also have a vial of blood sealed in the scroll to validate this?" Ichigo asked.

"Yes there is a kidō spell for it and yes you should have a vial of their blood sealed with the scroll as well," Kyōka answered.

"There is a spell which will prevent tampering with the scroll," Ichigo said. "Also we may have a vial of your blood sealed in the scroll as well to validate claims," Ichigo said. All the advisors agreed. Shigekuni ordered a servant to get five clean small glass bottles and a small clean knife. After that Ichigo, help draw the needed amount of blood. One the blood was collected, Ichigo sealed the glass bottles with kidō and place them with the scrolls and applied them to seal each of them in kidō again. One that was done, the advisors excuses themselves and left. Shigekuni told a servant that he needs his wife and son and another to get a clean glass and another clean knife. A few minutes later, both Genryūsai and Saori entered the room and another servant brought the requested items. After that, the servant closed the door.

"Yes, dear?" Saori asked.

"Ichigo told me that there is a ritual for Ichigo to be adopted into our family by blood. Shigekuni said.

"Really?" Saori said as she looked at Ichigo.

"Really. Ichigo said.

"Why are those here?" Genryūsai asked.

"Part of the ritual requires seven drops of blood from each alive family member Ichigo said. Each family member dropped exactly 7 drops of blood each into the glass. Ichigo then handed Shigekuni, Saori, and Genryūsai a piece of paper. Ichigo gave them a few moments to read the paper. "Remember, even though I will be supplying the energy for the ritual, you are required to have the absolute intent for this," Ichigo said.

"Everyone ready?" Shigekuni asked. Ichigo, Saori, and Genryūsai nodded.

"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, request permission from Lord Yamamoto, Lady Yamamoto, and Heir Yamamoto to join Clan Yamamoto," Ichigo said. A small glow began to radiate from Ichigo and entered the cup.

"I, Yamamoto Shigekuni, Lord of Clan Yamamoto accept Kurosaki Ichigo's request to join Clan Yamamoto," Shigekuni said. A small glow also began to radiate from Shigekuni and entered the cup. The energy slowly began to swirl with Ichigo's.

"I, Yamamoto Saori, Lady of Clan Yamamoto accept Kurosaki Ichigo's request to join Clan Yamamoto," Saori said. A small glow also began to radiate from Saori and entered the cup. The energy slowly began to swirl with Ichigo's and Shigekuni's.

"I, Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni, Heir of Clan Yamamoto accept Kurosaki Ichigo's request to join Clan Yamamoto," Genryūsai said. A small glow also began to radiate from Genryūsai and entered the cup. The energy slowly began to swirl with Ichigo's Shigekuni's and Saori's.

"I, Kurosaki Ichigo, accept the blessing that Lord Yamamoto, Lady Yamamoto, and Heir Yamamoto gave to join Clan Yamamoto," Ichigo said as he got the glass and chug the concoction down. Ichigo soon glowed for a few seconds and stopped and bowed to Shigekuni.

"Rise, Yamamoto-Kurosaki Ichigo, Second Heir of Clan Yamamoto," Shigekuni said. Ichigo rise as the family now hugged their new family member.

"I… think it is time for me to return to the future," Ichigo said.

"You are right… brother." Genryūsai said.

"Even though we just meet you and formally adopted you to our family, we will miss you," Saori said.

"I know," Ichigo said. "You three can come with me and set up the ritual to return home," Ichigo suggested.

"Really? Shigekuni asked.

"How?" Genryūsai asked.

"I was sent here by Amaterasu-sama," Ichigo said.

"Really!?" The entire family said.

"Yes. She sent me here to help Genryūsai with his destiny." Ichigo said.

"I see," Shigekuni said. Ichigo and the entire Yamamoto family walked out to the base of the destroyed Aku mountain. Ichigo and the entire Yamamoto family helped start a campfire. When the campfire was big enough with its bright orange and red flames, Ichigo summoned the pouch that Amaterasu gave him. Ichigo opened the pouch and dump the contents into the fire. The orange and red flames turn golden and light orange. It was as if they were looking at the sunrise. Ichigo looked at the Yamamoto family one last time.

"Looks like this is goodbye," Genryūsai said.

"It is to you," Ichigo said with a sad smile. Before Genryūsai could question Ichigo's strange answer, Ichigo jumped in the fire. The fire immediately turned Ichigo's' body to dust and the fire went out; leaving the entire Yamamoto family in the dark.

Scene Change: Amaterasu's dimension

Amaterasu was sleeping when she felt a disturbance in her dimension. She turned on the lights and investigates the disturbance. In her living room was a man lying on the ground. Amaterasu went up to get a closer look at the man. He appears to have spiky orange hair. He is a fairly tall, lean-built young man with peach skin and brown eyes. He is wearing while sleeveless haori, a black shihakushō with two white shoulder plates crossing his chest in an X shape and a white cloak with black markings tied around his waist.

"Ow," Ichigo said as he stood up and rub his butt.

"Um… who are you?" Amaterasu asked.

"Sorry Amaterasu-sama. My name is Yamamoto Kurosaki Ichigo. Please call me Ichigo." Ichigo said.

"How are you here?" Amaterasu asked.

"My explanation is quite long. Can we sit somewhere?" Ichigo asked. Amaterasu guided Ichigo to a pair of chairs. Once sat down, Ichigo began his tale when Ichigo was called upon by Amaterasu of his timeline to Ichigo's appearance in Amaterasu's dimension.

"Interesting tale," Amaterasu said.

"Thank you," Ichigo said. "Now… can you help me return to my time?" Ichigo asked.

"Ok," Amaterasu replied. Amaterasu then stood up and left the room to return with an empty scroll and an enchanted ink brush and immediately start writing.

"Um… what are you doing?" Ichigo asked.

"Ichigo. Have you wondered why Amaterasu from your time, doesn't remember what happened here?" Amaterasu asked.

"Now that you mention it, it does seem weird that Amaterasu of my time doesn't remember this," Ichigo replied.

"The reason is that I wiped my memory of it," Amaterasu answered.

"Why?" Ichigo asked.

"The reason is that I fear what my action will differ from this point on to the point where it will interfere with what you need to go to help Genryūsai return to the past," Amaterasu explained.

"I see…" Ichigo said. Ichigo waited a few more minutes for Amaterasu to finish writing the scroll and sealing it with her seal. Once the personal seal is added, Amaterasu casts a spell on the sealed scroll. "What was the spell for?" Ichigo asked.

"It is a special spell which will cause the scroll to disappear and remain unnoticed until the correct time," Amaterasu answered.

"I see," Ichigo said.

"The next spell I will cast will wipe all of my memories for these few hours." Amaterasu started to say.

"What?" Ichigo asked. "How would I be able to return to my time?"

"The spell is timed delayed. It will wipe my memories after five minutes." Amaterasu said.

"I see," Ichigo replied.

"Then I will cast a spell which allows me to store my memories in a vial and you will give that vial to my future self," Amaterasu said.

"Wait. Why would you want your future self to remember this?" Ichigo asked.

"The reason is that all the decisions from this point on to the point of your return required Amaterasu to act without this knowledge. But when you return, it will not matter that Amaterasu has this knowledge since she knows a part of it." Amaterasu explained.

"I'll take your word for it," Ichigo said, feeling a headache might come from trying to understand time travel. With that Amaterasu cast the memory spell on herself. She then extracted the memory and place the memory in a vial she summoned and gave it to Ichigo. After that, she put Ichigo to asleep.
