Scene Change: First Division's Training Ground
Everyone arrived at the First Division's Training Ground. Ichigo, Suì-Fēng, and Kyōraku were standing in the middle. It was decided that Toshiro was the least bias to be the judge of this Trial by Combat. Toshiro stood over the three combatants, with a stand Ichigo constructed for Toshiro. Standing around them were Tessei, Hachi and two more Kidō Corp members. They all began to construct a large Kidō barrier, allowing them to go all out without harming the spectators.
"Combatants," Toshiro said. "The rules of this Trial by Combat are simple. Everything goes. The Trial by Combat continues until all combatants of the opposing team is unconscious or dead." Toshiro said. "Do you understand this?" Ichigo, Suì-Fēng and Kyōraku nodded, "You will have sixty seconds to plan your strategy." Toshiro said. Ichigo stood there with his arms crossed. On the other side, Suì-Fēng and Kyōraku were discussing a possible strategy.
"Ichigo." Someone said from his mind.
"Yes, Shirayuki?"
"If it's possible, can you grab Katen Kyōkotsu and Suzumebachi from them?" She requested.
"How come?" Ichigo asked.
"I'll explain in a bit." Ichigo sighed. Toshiro interrupted him before he could reply.
"Combatants!" Toshiro shouted; regaining the attention of Ichigo, Suì-Fēng, and Kyōraku. "On my command, the Trial by Combat shall begin," Toshiro said. On Ichigo's side, Ichigo stood there and let out a yawn. While on the other side, Suì-Fēng and Kyōraku were drawing their Zanpakutō. "Combatants…FIGHT!" Toshiro shouted.
"Sting all Enemies to Death Suzumebachi," Suì-Fēng said as she shunpō'ed away from Ichigo's sight. Kyōraku then sets his two blades against each other in a cross.
"Flower Wind Rage and Flower God Roar, Heavenly Wind Rage and Heavenly Demon Sneer," Kyōraku said as he pulls his Zanpakutō out of the cross to revival Katen Kyōkotsu. Kyōraku threw his haori as he charged towards Ichigo. "Irooni Shiro," Kyōraku said as he swung Katen Kyōkotsu at Ichigo. Ichigo grabbed both Katen Kyōkotsu between his left and right fingers.
"Kuro," Ichigo said as he kicks Kyōraku right in the center of his chest.
"Gah!" Kyōraku cried out as he was forced to let go of Katen Kyōkotsu and was flung to the edge of the barrier. Suì-Fēng shunpō'ed towards him. Ichigo, still holding Katen Kyōkotsu, shunpō'ed to the left, dodging Suì-Fēng strike. Suì-Fēng quickly turned around and charged at Ichigo again. Ichigo could once again dodge the attack. Suddenly Ichigo's back hit something hard. He glanced behind him to see he was at the edge of the barrier. Suì-Fēng saw Ichigo distracted. She shunpō'ed in front of him and stabbed Ichigo in the chest. She pulled Suzumebachi out of Ichigo's chest. The iconic butterfly-shaped stamp appeared on Ichigo's chest. Everyone in the audience gasped in seeing this.
"This is it!" Suì-Fēng said as she stabbed Ichigo in the chest. The butterfly-shaped stamp began to glow red; signaling Nigeki Kessatsu's activation. Suì-Fēng smiled at the red glow.
"Took you this long to use it," Ichigo said. Her eyes widen when the red glow from Nigeki Kessatsu stopped glowing. Everyone stared at Ichigo's chest. The iconic butterfly-shaped stamp began to glow purple and shrink. A few seconds later, the stamp was gone.
"What happened!" Suì-Fēng yelled.
"I activated another ability as the King of Souls," Ichigo said.
"What?" Suì-Fēng said.
"It is simply. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger." Ichigo said as he let go of Katen Kyōkotsu. Before she could respond, he punched Suì-Fēng in the gut. She crashed in the kidō barrier on the other side of the training ground.
"That was Ikkotsu!" Ukitake commented. Everyone else was once again amazed at this new Ichigo. Ichigo picked up Katen Kyōkotsu and shunpō'ed over to Suì-Fēng. Suzumebachi is no longer in its gauntlet form but rather it's sealed state. Suzumebachi resembles a wakizashi with a yellow hilt reminiscent of a Chinese Dao. Ichigo picked Suzumebachi up as well.
"You can drop the barrier," Ichigo said as he looked at Tessai. Tessai nodded as the barrier dropped. Fourth Division members immediately shunpō'ed over to the unconscious Suì-Fēng and Kyōraku. They were placed on stretchers and shunpō'ed back to the Fourth Division. Genryūsai walked over to Ichigo.
"Why are you still holding their Zanpakutōs?" Genryūsai asked.
"Because Shirayuki wanted to talk to them," Ichigo said.
"Shirayuki?" Genryūsai said.
"She used to be Rukia's Zanpakutō until I stepped in," Ichigo said.
"I see…" Genryūsai said. "Once you are done with their Zanpakutō, please return it to them," Genryūsai said.
"Ok," Ichigo said. "Once Kyōraku wakes up, you are telling him about his demotion, right?" Ichigo said.
"I will," Genryūsai said as he walks off. "He dares goes against the ethics I taught him… I'll think someone needs another lesson on ethics." Genryūsai mumbling to himself. Ichigo chuckled as he shunpō'ed away from the First Division's Training Ground. He returned to the secret cavern underneath Sōkyoku Hill casting a privacy Kidō barrier around himself before he sat down and entered Jinzen.
Scene Change: Mindscape
Ichigo appeared at the familiar large Japanese house. It is decorated in black, red, white and blue. Ichigo entered the house to see Kisara, Valiona, Kyōka, Shirayuki, Zangetsu, Yhwach, and Hōgyoku, sitting on one side of a round table. On the other side, Ichigo could see three Zanpakutō spirits. One of the Zanpakutō is a tall, violet-haired woman with a red ribbon around her neck and a black eye patch covering her right eye. Her left eye is turquoise, and her hair is worn in two corkscrew pigtails with bangs framing her face. She wears an indigo cape with an imprint of a large skull and the two blades of Katen Kyōkotsu on it, and a long, dark dress with a significantly low-cut neckline, exposing her large breasts. She wears a golden bone headdress.
The other Zanpakutō is shorter and younger in appearance. She has turquoise eyes and chin-length violet hair, which is styled so only her right eye is visible, with a skull decorating it. She wore a dark top that covered her lower face, her neck, and her arms, close-fitting shorts, and knee-length socks. Over that, she wore a purple, hip-length coat fastened at the front by a dark purple sash. The tops of her thighs and the middle of her torso were left exposed. It took Ichigo a few seconds to see the third Zanpakutō.
She appears as a small, pink-eyed young woman with long brown hair tied into two long pigtails at the back. She has a collar of white fur around her neck, wore puffy shorts and leggings with alternating yellow-black stripes on them, and black shoes. She has a small yellow-black plate covering each breast and has short, puffy, yellow-black striped sleeves covering each shoulder. Her entire right arm is covered by a segmented, yellow-black stinger longer than her own body. Ichigo could see a faint yellow glow around her.
"So Suzumebachi and Katen Kyōkotsu," Ichigo said as he sat down in the middle of Zangetsu and Yhwach. "Shirayuki asked me to obtain you three from your master for some reason. Please enlighten us on that reason." Ichigo said. "Also, please clarify who is 'Katen' and who is 'Kyōkotsu," Ichigo asked.
"My name is Katen," Katen said. "The little one here is Kyōkotsu," Katen said as she placed her hand on Kyōkotsu's shoulder.
"Thank you. Please continue." Ichigo said.
"You see, during Muramasa's rebellion, all four of us became aquatinted," Katen said. "We planned to go to the World of the Living together but Muramasa assigned myself and Kyōkotsu to assist in sealing Yamamoto-Sōtaichō," Katen said.
"After that, Muramasa assigned all the other Zanpakutōs to attack their owners. Shirayuki tracked down Rukia while I track down Suì-Fēng." Suzumebachi said.
"So, is this for all of you to reconnect?" Ichigo asked.
"When all four of us first met, I told them about the mistreatment I received from Rukia. Katen mentioned the lack of connection with Kyōraku and Suzumebachi despising Suì-Fēng overall personality." Shirayuki said. "I also mentioned my connection with you. Upon hearing this they made me a promise that if Ichigo was able to wield me, I would try and rescue them from their wielders." Shirayuki said.
"Interesting," Ichigo said. "So, all three of you want to join me as my Zanpakutō," Ichigo said. All of them nodded. "If I do this, what would happen to Kyōraku and Suì-Fēng?" Ichigo asked.
"I do not know," Katen said.
"I believe that you will not be able to fully get Katen, Kyōkotsu, and Suzumebachi to fully be your Zanpakutō," Hōgyoku said.
"Why?" Ichigo asked.
"The reason is that both Suì-Fēng and Kyōraku are old souls. Their soul will not handle the separation of their Zanpakutō." Hōgyoku.
"Just like what happened to Sōkyoku," Kyōka added. Everyone looked at her. "According to historic reports, the Central 46 ordered the separation of Sōkyoku from its wielder. Once Sōkyoku was separated from its wielder, that wielder died. Some believed due to Sōkyoku being forcibly separated from the wielder or the after-effects of the kidō used." Kyōka said.
"Despite this, is there any way for them to join us?" Shirayuki asked.
"Well… there might be a way." Yhwach said. Everyone looked at him. "We need something to fill in the gap that their Zanpakutō will leave when they leave," Yhwach explained. "I am the only one with a technique that could fill that gap and then give them the ability to use their powers," Yhwach said.
"You don't mean," Ichigo said.
"Yes. We bestow to both Suì-Fēng and Kyōraku two schrifts that imitate Katen Kyōkotsu and Suzumebachi." Yhwach said.
"How?" Kyōka asked.
"I will form the schrifts that we need. Once I got the schrifts, I will make a copy of Katen, Kyōkotsu, and Suzumebachi to attach to those schrifts." Yhwach explained.
"You did a similar thing with my Shinigami powers before I learned the truth," Ichigo said.
"Exactly," Yhwach said.
"So, what do you need us to do?" Katen asked.
"It will take some time to prepare the schrifts. Once that is done, we need to go to both Suì-Fēng and Kyōraku and switch the two." Yhwach explained.
"All right then," Ichigo said. With that Yhwach got to work in creating the schrifts. A few minutes later, Yhwach showed two schrifts in his hands.
"Now I need Katen and Kyōkotsu to push their reiatsu into one schrift. While Suzumebachi needs to push her reiatsu into the other one." Yhwach instructed. Katen, Kyōkotsu, and Suzumebachi place their hand on their respective letter and pushed their reiatsu into the schrifts. Slowly the white schrifts began to turn purple and yellow. "Enough," Yhwach said. Katen, Kyōkotsu, and Suzumebachi stop pushing their reiatsu to the pieces. "Now I present the schrift L-The Law and the schrift E-The Executor," Yhwach named.
"Now that the schrifts are ready, what is the next step?" Ichigo asked.
"I think we need to bond with them and then quickly get to Fourth Division to bestow the schrifts to Suì-Fēng and Kyōraku," Yhwach instructed.
"Very well," Ichigo said. "Katen, Suzumebachi and Kyōkotsu," Ichigo said he stood up. "This is your last chance to back out," Ichigo said.
"I think I can say for everyone here…" Katen said as she looked at Suzumebachi and Kyōkotsu. Both of them nodded. "…that all three of us want this." Katen finished.
"Very well," Ichigo said.
"We need to formally celebrate our new sisters," Kyōka said.
"Sisters?" Katen and Suzumebachi asked.
"Yes, sisters. Normally, a zanpakutō would represent all the emotions of their user, the other half to a soul. However, Ichigo doesn't follow the ordinary in this." Hōgyoku explained to Katen, Suzumebachi, and Kyōkotsu. "Since all of us as a part of his soul, each of us took a few emotions to fuse with," Hōgyoku said.
"I merged with Ichigo's courage, bravery, determination, and hopes," Yhwach said.
"I merged with Ichigo's instincts, rage, ambitions, and desires," Zangetsu said.
"I merged with Ichigo's intellect, cunning, wisdom, wit, and dreams," Kyōka said.
"I merged with Ichigo's creativity, trustworthiness, and loyalty," Hōgyoku said.
"I merged with Ichigo's caring, ruthless, lonely and humble nature," Shirayuki said.
"I see…" Katen, Suzumebachi and Kyōkotsu said.
"We didn't choose what we took, it is what the soul and ourselves found," Hōgyoku said. Katen, Suzumebachi, and Kyōkotsu sat there meditating for a few seconds. All three glowed
Black. Then red. Then blue. Then green. Then purple. Then white, Then ice blue. Suddenly Yhwach, Zangetsu, Kyōka, Hōgyoku, and Shirayuki glowed Violet followed by Yellow. Once all the Zanpakutō stopped glowing they all stood up and summoned their Shikai.
"I now represent your courage, bravery, hopes," Yhwach said as he stabbed Ichigo. Next was Zangetsu.
"I now represent your instincts, your rage, and desires," Zangetsu said as he stabbed Ichigo. Next was Kyōka.
"I now represent your intellect, wisdom, wit, and dreams," Kyōka said as she stabbed Ichigo. Next was Hōgyoku.
"I now represent your creativity, trustworthiness, and loyalty," Hōgyoku said as she stabbed Ichigo Next was Shirayuki.
"I now represent your caring, lonely, and humble nature," Shirayuki said as she stabbed Ichigo. Next was Katen and Kyōkotsu.
"We represent your cunning, ruthless, innocent, ingenious, merciless and equality. Katen and Kyōkotsu said together as they stabbed Ichigo. Last was Suzumebachi.
"I represent your determination, your ambitions and playful. Suzumebachi said as she stabbed Ichigo.
"I accept you all. We all are one…" Ichigo said. Black, red, blue, green, lavender, white ice blue, purple and yellow reiatsu began to spin around the eleven.
"…And one for ALL!" Everyone yelled. The collection of energy exploded outward in a nondestructive way.
"Now that is out of the way, let's go to the Fourth Division," Ichigo said as he leaves his mindscape.
Scene Change
Ichigo stood up from Jinzen and disabled the Kidō he placed before entering Jinzen. Ichigo quickly shunpō'ed to the Fourth Division and managed to find both Kyōraku and Suì-Fēng right next to each other. Ichigo walked over to Kyōraku. "Now you need to cut your hand and allow some blood to drip into Kyōraku's mouth," Yhwach instructed. Ichigo found a scalpel and quickly cut his wrist. Ichigo then pinched Kyōraku's nose. This unconsciously forced Kyōraku's mouth to open up. Ichigo allowed the blood from his wrist to drip into Kyōraku's mouth. "Now say I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow to you Kyōraku the schrift L," Yhwach instructed.
" I, Kurosaki Ichigo, bestow to you Kyōraku the schrift L," Ichigo said. Kyōraku began to glow red for a few seconds before the glow faded. Ichigo quickly repeated the same process with Suì-Fēng with no issues. Ichigo shunpō'ed out of Fourth Division. Ichigo noticed it was getting late Ichigo decided that he should visit the Shiba's. Ichigo shunpō'ed towards the West Side of Seireitei. Ichigo walked out of the gate to see Jidanbō standing guard.
"Hello Jidanbō." Ichigo said.
"Hello, Ichigo-sama," Jidanbō replied. Ichigo shunpō'ed to the towards the Shiba's house. Ichigo arrived at the familiar house. There were two men standing guard of the house. Ichigo walked towards the men.
"HALT!" One of the two guards said.
"Shiba-sama has requested no one to bother her." The other guard said. Ichigo sighed.
"Tell her Kurosaki Ichigo is requesting to see her," Ichigo said.
"Ichigo-sama!" The two guards yelled out.
"We will tell her immediately!" The first guard said. The other guard nodded before running inside the house. A few seconds later, Ichigo heard a loud bang and Ichigo could see the first guard running back out. "Kukaku-sama is ready to see you." The first guard said.
"Thank you," Ichigo said as he enters the Shiba house. One of the other servants guided Ichigo to a room to see a drunken Kukaku and Yoruichi drinking.
"I-chi-go!" Yoruichi said.
"Hello, Yoruichi and Kukaku," Ichigo replied.
"You h-ave be-en here t-his wh-ole time and y-ou have-'t both-er to see me." Kukaku drunkenly said. Ichigo sighed.
"We will talk tomorrow," Ichigo said as he turns to leave. Only to be tackled to the floor by Kukaku and Yoruichi.
"I-chi-go." Yoruichi said.
"You a-ren-t goin any-where." Kukaku said.
"You s-houl-d enjoy th-ese two wo-men." Yoruichi said as she rubbed her breasts on Ichigo's shoulder.
"Ya," Kukaku said as she started to rub her breasts on Ichigo's other shoulder.
"Ladies. Please let go of me." Ichigo said as he tries to get up. However, Kukaku's and Yoruichi's were positioned to prevent Ichigo from getting up with his hands. Ichigo realized that Ichigo couldn't get up with his hands or feet. So Ichigo took a deep breath and blow all the reiatsu infused air out. This blast of air managed to push Kukaku and Yoruichi off of him and Ichigo managed to escape the two. Ichigo walked around and managed to find a dusty room. Before Ichigo could walk in, someone spoke up.
"What are you trying to do?" Someone asked. Ichigo looked to see Ganju looking at Ichigo. Ganju's hair has grown messier and longer, extending down to his upper back.
"Hello, Ganju," Ichigo said.
"Is that you Ichigo?" Ganju asked.
"It is," Ichigo replied.
"Anyways, what are you doing in Kaien-niisama's room?" Ganju asked.
"This is Kaien's room?" Ichigo asked.
"It is," Ganju answered. "What are you doing here?" Ganju asked.
"I was planning to talk to Kukaku about something then I saw her and Yoruichi drunk. So, I decided to talk to them tomorrow." Ichigo answered.
"Ok," Ganju replied. "Let me show you one of our guest rooms," Ganju said as he walked Ichigo to the guest room. They soon arrived in the guest room.
"Thank you Ganju," Ichigo said as he enters the guest room.
"It is the least I can do for what you did for the people living in the Rukongai," Ganju said.
"It is the least I can do to make this 'heaven' for some people," Ichigo replied as he enters the room. Ichigo walked over the closet and pulled out a futon and place it on the floor. Ichigo changed out of his robes and went to sleep.
Scene Change: Shiba House: Morning
Ichigo woke up at five in the morning. Ichigo got up from the futon and put his robes back on.
Ichigo started to talk with Katen, Kyōkotsu, and Suzumebachi about their powers. Suzumebachi informed Ichigo that her Shikai may have changed due to Ichigo being significantly stronger than Suì-Fēng. Not only that, but Suzumebachi requested that Ichigo trained to further his Hakuda mastery before they start with training for Shikai and then Bankai. As for Katen and Kyōkotsu, they mentioned that her powers revolve around slightly altering reality with adding or changing rules. Due to how simple-minded and childish Kyōraku was when he had awoken Katen Kyōkotsu, he used games as a median to user her powers. Ichigo didn't have to restrict Katen Kyōkotsu's powers to just games. So, before Katen and Kyōkotsu begin Ichigo's training for Shikai, they want Ichigo to figure out what does he want to use a median for Katen Kyōkotsu's powers; games like Kyōraku did or something similar.
Ichigo left the room in the guest room and managed to find Ganju cooking breakfast.
"Hello Ganju," Ichigo said.
"Hello Ichigo," Ganju replied.
"Do you need help with breakfast?" Ichigo asked.
"Thank you for the offer but I got this," Ganju said. "You could try and wake up Nee-san and Yoruichi-sama," Ganju said.
"Sure," Ichigo said. Ichigo walked out of the kitchen and found the same room from last night. Ichigo slid the door to see that Kukaku and Yoruichi asleep. Ichigo decided to be nice and walk towards the two women and lightly shake them.
"Yoruichi. Kukaku. Wake up. Ganju is making breakfast." Ichigo said as he shook the two women. The two women slowly woke up to see Ichigo shaking them lightly.
"Hello Ichigo," Yoruichi said.
"Long time no see kid," Kukaku said. "So, what do you want?" Kukaku asked.
"I am just visiting family," Ichigo said.
"Family?" Kukaku questioned. Yoruichi suddenly realized what is about to happen. She never mentioned to Kukaku about Isshin.
"Yoruichi didn't tell you?" Ichigo asked. Kukaku glared at Yoruichi before replying. "She didn't tell me what?"
"That my father is Shiba Isshin," Ichigo said.
"WHAT!" Kukaku yelled. She then looked at Yoruichi who let out a sigh. "You knew, and you never bother to tell me!" Kukaku yelled.
"It was Isshin's request." Yoruichi tried to say.
"I don't care. You have no right to interfere with the Shiba Clan business. I thought the Shihōin would have taught you at least that before you left." Kukaku replied.
"Hey!" Yoruichi said as she stood up. Ichigo could tell this was about to get ugly.
"Ladies," Ichigo said as he lowered his reiatsu and glared at Yoruichi and Kukaku. "Stop arguing about it. Isshin made many bad calls before. This isn't the first or the last. Just let it go and let's go eat breakfast." Ichigo said as he walked out of the room. Kukaku and Yoruichi glared at each other before leaving the room.
Breakfast was full of tension between Kukaku and Yoruichi. After breakfast was finished, Kukaku grabbed Ichigo and pulled him away from the group to another room. This room appeared to be a simple bedroom with the necessities in the room.
"So Ichigo, what do you want to ask me about?" Kukaku asked.
"I was wondering how bad the Shiba's Wanderlust is?" Ichigo asked. Kukaku looked at Ichigo for a few seconds before beginning to laugh.
"It has been a long time since anyone mentioned our Wanderlust." Kukaku laughed. A few seconds later, she stopped laughing. "Anyways, our wanderlust can be mild to extreme," Kukaku said. "Ganju has a slight case of Wanderlust. Once in a while, Ganju would wander around the Rukongai for a while. Eventually, he would return, and everything would continue as normal." Kukaku said. "While my Nii-san's Wanderlust was one of those extreme cases," Kukaku said. "Kaien wanted to follow Uncle Isshin's footsteps to become a Shinigami but at the same time, he wanted to stay in the Rukongai and take care of us. So Kaien decided to follow the wind and wander. He wandered for a few years. When he returned I could tell that Kaien found the answer to his inner conflict." Kukaku said.
"I see. Thank you for sharing." Ichigo said as he left the room. Ichigo returned to the dining room to see Yoruichi still eating. "Yoruichi," Ichigo said.
"Yes, Ichigo?" Yoruichi asked.
"Do you want to start training in the afternoon?" Ichigo asked.
"Sure. Come by the Second Division when you are ready." Yoruichi replied. With that done, Ichigo walked out of the Shiba House after he said goodbye to everyone. Ichigo looked at his watch and realize it was almost time to see the Vizards. With that Ichigo shunpō'ed back to the Seireitei.
Scene Change: Afternoon: Sōkyoku Hill
Ichigo appeared at Sōkyoku Hill to see all the other Vizards are there.
"So Ichigo, Rukia told us that you wanted to train us on something that involved our Hollow," Shinji said.
"Yes," Ichigo said. "Follow me," Ichigo said as he led the Vizard to the cave. "I need all of you except Rukia to enter Jinzen," Ichigo said.
"So Ichigo, why do we need to go talk to our Zanpakutō spirits?" Hirako asked.
"There are two reasons why you need to talk to your Zanpakutō spirits," Ichigo said. "The first is that your training technique made all of you weaker," Ichigo said.
"WHAT!" The Vizards said, questioning Ichigo's statement.
"Allow me to explain," Ichigo said. "When Aizen infected all of you with a hollow, your Zanpakutō spirit changed into the hollow spirit you saw in your mindscape," Ichigo said. "By suppressing your 'inner hollow' you are indirectly suppressing your powers," Ichigo said.
"What if it is a trick for the Hollow to be free?" Hiyori argued. Ichigo came to Hiyori and smack her on the head. "HEY!" Hiyori yelled out.
"You need to remember that your 'inner hollow' is, in fact, your Zanpakutō spirit," Ichigo said. "Does anyone remember what a Zanpakutō spirit is?" Ichigo asked. No one replied. "Your Zanpakutō is essentially you," Ichigo answered. Some of the Vizards were still confused. "Simply your Zanpakutō evolves with you. If you are a Shinigami hollow hybrid, your Zanpakutō is a fusion of your Shinigami and Hollow powers." Ichigo said.
"I see…" Hirako said, slightly understanding Ichigo's reasoning.
"You must find your Zanpakutō spirit. Likely they will meet you with rage and untold fury but, you must stand strong and show them your resolve." Ichigo said. All the Vizards sat down and performed Jinzen. Once the original eight Vizards entered Jizen, Ichigo summoned the Chains of Hell to bind the eight Vizards to prevent them from attacking anyone or escaping.
"Rukia," Ichigo said. Rukia looked up at Ichigo. "Show both of us how strong you have become," Ichigo said he summoned Kōsetsu. "Dance, Sode no Shirayuki," Ichigo said as he released Shirayuki.
"Reap the memories and let it fade to black Kioku Keshigomu," Rukia said as she now has her scythe. She swung her scythe downwards; trying to get Ichigo's legs. Ichigo jumped up and pointed Shirayuki's point at Rukia.
"San no mai, Shirafune!" Ichigo said. A small fast blast of ice shot straight out of the blade towards Rukia. Rukia dodged the Ichigo's attack.
"Shirafune could be used like that!?" Rukia thought. Suddenly Ichigo appeared behind Rukia.
"Daishi no mai, Juhaku," Ichigo said as he stabbed Shirayuki down on the ground. A trail of ice charged towards Rukia. Rukia wasn't fast enough to avoid the ice. The ice began to wrap around her legs. Rukia used her scythe to break the ice. She sent a blast of energy towards Ichigo. "Go-man no mai, Tsurarada!" Ichigo said as hail began to fall and force the attack to explode prematurely. The dust cleared to see Ichigo was somewhere else. Rukia looked left and right and wasn't able to see him. Suddenly Rukia could feel a blade's edge by her throat. "Some no mai, Tsukishiro," Ichigo said as a giant Ice Pillar form from where they're at. Ichigo broke the ice pillar as he carried an unconscious Rukia and laid her down on the ground, walking over to see that everyone returned from their mindscape and Ichigo noticed that many of them sported bruises and cuts all over their body. Kyōka noted down on a clipboard that many of the wounds were slowly closing up. "Looks like you guys did it," Ichigo said as he dismissed the chains. Hiyori shunpō'ed over to Ichigo and tried to hit Ichigo in the nuts. Only for Hiyori to get kicked in the face.
"HEY!" Hiyori yelled out.
"Now then, since it appears that all of you manage to get in contact with your Zanpakutō spirit the next thing is to go through each of the releases," Ichigo said.
"What would that do?" Hiyori asked.
"Since you are now using your full potential, your Shikai and likely your Bankai will be different," Ichigo said.
"How?" Lisa asked.
"Your Shikai and your Bankai might look different or more powerful," Ichigo said as he summoned out Kokugatsu. "You remembered before my Shikai looked like an oversized Khyber knife," Ichigo asked. The Vizards nodded. "Now look at my Shikai," Ichigo said. "Stride forth to the gates of Heaven and use your might to tear the Heavens asunder. Charge forth to the gates of Hell and destroy the chains of the damned. Enter the doors of your Humanity and use your strength to shatter fate… ZANGETSU!" Ichigo chanted as Zangetsu released into two blades. Many of the Vizards realized what Ichigo was saying as Ichigo sealed Zangetsu and sent Kokugatsu back into his mindscape. "All of you must master your Shikai and Bankai again before we start teaching how to access resurrección," Ichigo said as he lowered the Kidō barrier. All the Vizards shunpō'ed out of Sōkyoku Hill; leaving Ichigo alone. Ichigo looked at this watch and decided to go to Second Division to see Yoruichi.
Scene Change: Second Division
Ichigo once again appeared outside of the Second Division. Ichigo walked past the gate and immediately a squad of Onmitsukidō members appeared and took a knee and bowed to Ichigo.
"Ichigo-sama, how may we be of service to you?" One of the Onmitsukidō asked.
"I am here to see Yoruichi," Ichigo said.
"Shihōin-Taichō did instruct us to inform you to go meet her in her office." The Onmitsukidō member said before all of the members shunpō'ed away. Ichigo walked inside the Barracks until Ichigo reached the Taichō's office. Ichigo knocked on the door.
"Come in," Yoruichi said as Ichigo opened the door.
"Hello, Yoruichi. Are you ready to start training me?" Ichigo asked.
"Sure. Let get something to eat before we go." Yoruichi said. The two walked out of her office, avoided the random traps all over the Second Division and reached the cafeteria. Ichigo and Yoruichi had a quick lunch.
"So where are we going to train?" Ichigo asked; expecting the cave underneath Sōkyoku Hill.
"We're going somewhere private," Yoruichi said as she shunpō'ed out. Ichigo followed suit.
Scene Change: Shihōin Private Training Ground
Ichigo arrived to see a large clearing in a forest.
"Where are we?" Ichigo asked.
"It's a private clearing on the Shihōin estate. I used this training ground to teach my younger brother Shunkō." Yoruichi said.
"You have a brother?" Ichigo asked.
"I didn't show you?" Yoruichi said as she pulled out of a photo. Ichigo looked at the photo. The brother appears young, with the iconic dark-skinned Yoruichi has. Instead of her violet hair, the brother has black hair which is in a thick ponytail. He wears white, fingerless gloves that extend to his elbows, white shoulder pads, and a black garment that covers his torso and legs with a white band wrapped around his waist. "His name is Yūshirō. He was the 23rd Head of the Shihōin before he willingly stepped down and allowed me to reclaim my spot as the 22nd Head." Yoruichi explained.
"I see," Ichigo said as he gave the photo back.
"Anyways, lets me see how fast you with Shunpō," Yoruichi said as she put away the photo and pulled out of her ribbon. "Your goal is to get this ribbon," Yoruichi said has Ichigo Sonído behind Yoruichi and grabbed the ribbon and shunpō'ed away. "Hey!" Yoruichi yelled as she chased down Ichigo. As she shunpō'ed away, she didn't notice a stopwatch started. It has been 7 hours since Ichigo stole Yoruichi's hair tie. Yoruichi could not catch him. Ichigo was using just Shunpō and occasionally a Sonído to avoid her. She knew that her student has grown stronger but to this extreme amazes her. She sighed as she stopped. Ichigo noticed this and stopped next to her.
"So, you give up," Ichigo said.
"I…do," Yoruichi said. Ichigo threw the hair tie at Yoruichi. She caught it and tied her hair up.
"Did I pass your test?" Ichigo teased.
"You did," Yoruichi said. Ichigo gave Yoruichi back her ribbon.
"So, what is next?" Ichigo asked.
"Next is testing your Hakuda!" Yoruichi said as she lunged at Ichigo. Ichigo smiled and charged at Yoruichi.
Scene Change: One Year Later
It has been one year in Soul Society since the One Thousand Year War has finished and Ichigo forcing new changes to Soul Society. Almost all the remaining Shinigami were fine with what Ichigo has done. Many were grateful for the new changes. Some such as 7th to 10th division with having real work to do. 12th Division was happy with the return of Urahara and most importantly; no more Central 46. However, only one Shinigami despised these changes; Suì-Fēng. Ever since Ichigo sought out Yoruichi for assistance in Hakuda; Suì-Fēng has despised Ichigo. For the next few weeks, Yoruichi taught Ichigo how to do perform Shunkō. When Suì-Fēng discovered this, Suì-Fēng studied Ichigo's training schedule with Yoruichi. Right before Ichigo would come, Suì-Fēng would try to distract Yoruichi so that she would miss Ichigo. However, Yoruichi ordered the whole Second Division to report to her if they see Ichigo coming and notify her immediately. Once they were ready, Ichigo and Yoruichi shunpō'ed somewhere else to train. Not even Suì-Fēng could track them down. Every day, Suì-Fēng slowly got angrier and angrier at Ichigo for stealing her Yoruichi-sama.
Flashback: Shihōin Private Training Ground
"Ichigo you almost got it!" Yoruichi said.
"GAH!" Ichigo yelled out as he managed to form the basic Shunkō. Unlike Yoruichi's and Suì-Fēng's Shunkō, Ichigo's Shunkō is not showing an element just pure reiatsu.
"Interesting," Yoruichi said.
"What," Ichigo said as he dismissed his Shunkō.
"Your Shunkō isn't showing affiliation to an element," Yoruichi said.
"So?" Ichigo asked.
"My Shunkō showed an affiliation to lightning due to my Zanpakutō," Yoruichi said. "I theorize that due to your status as a Hybrid or Zangetsu not affiliation with an element, which is preventing your Shunkō from evolving," Yoruichi said.
"What if I have mastery of other elements?" Ichigo said.
"What?" Yoruichi replied. Ichigo took a deep breath as he shot out a blast of fire from a punch. Ichigo then took a step and shot out a boulder shot up towards the sky. Ichigo summoned water vapor around his hand and cut the boulder up. Ichigo uses the air to keep the boulder chunks up. Ichigo called forth more water vapor to rap around the boulder chunks and froze them. Ichigo then shot a blast of lightning and destroyed one of these frozen boulder chunks. From the hole, Ichigo made from the boulder, Ichigo willed forth lava and split the lava and liquid metal apart.
"This is bending the elements to my will." Ichigo said once he finished his 'show'.
"With this ability in mind, you could evolve Shunkō beyond what myself and Suì-Fēng has," Yoruichi said.
"Thanks," Ichigo said.
"Before, I thought Suì-Fēng or my own family, had a chance to claim my title as Goddess of Flash," Yoruichi commented. "But seeing you, I could see you claiming my title as Goddess of Flash."
"You mean God of Flash," Ichigo said as he shunpō'ed over to Yoruichi, grabbed her hair tie and shunpō'ed off.
"Hey!" Yoruichi yelled as she chased down Ichigo; starting another game of tag.
Flashback Ended
Another key thing was educating the Thirteenth Division on all the secrets on how to blend in with the World of the Living. Ichigo discovered that a few members of the Thirteenth Division remembered some or their entire human life. Ichigo managed to teach them how to dress properly including photos of Renji as a reference on what not to do. Ichigo also mentioned the existence of other mystical beings such as Yōkai, Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils. Ichigo mentioned that there are a few cities that are forbidden to enter until Ukitake-Taichō managed to meet with each leader and establish peaceful terms. Once those are done, a few Shinigami will be assigned to those sectors and be able to interact with these mystical beings under those lines.
Scene Change: Genryūsai's Office
In the morning, Ichigo went to Genryūsai's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in," Genryūsai said as Ichigo opened the door.
"Good morning Ichigo it's time to unseal the dimension and get the time to line up," Genryūsai asked.
"It is," Ichigo said. "Also, can you get the other captains to meet up in the Captains' Assembly Hall?" Ichigo asked.
"Sure," Genryūsai said as he sent thirteen Hell butterflies to all of the remaining captains to meet up in the Captains' Assembly Hall. A few seconds later, everyone shunpō'ed in. Sitting in First Division's chair was Genryūsai. Sitting in Second Division's chair was Yoruichi. Sitting in Third Division's chair was Rose. Sitting in Fourth Division's chair was Isane. Sitting in Fifth Division's chair was Hirako. Sitting in Sixth Division's chair was Byakuya. Seventh Division's chair was Love. Sitting in Eight Division's chair was Lisa. Sitting in Ninth Division's chair was Kensei. Sitting in Tenth Division's chair was Toshiro. Sitting in Eleventh Division's chair was Kenpachi. Sitting in Twelfth Division's chair was Urahara. Sitting in Thirteenth Division's chair was Ukitake. Sitting in Kidō Corp's chair was Tessai.
"Good morning everyone," Ichigo said.
Everyone nodded in acknowledging Ichigo's statement. "Now then, today is the day I am unsealing the dimension," Ichigo said. "Now then, once I unseal this dimension, all of you will be in charge of Soul Society unless I am needed," Ichigo said. "Now that the boring stuff is done…" Ichigo said as he gathered up reiatsu. "Ō no meirei, Jigen Kaihō!" [King's Order, Dimension Release!] Ichigo ordered. Suddenly Ichigo's reiatsu rushed out and covered everything with his reiatsu for less than a second and it suddenly disappeared. With that done, Ichigo opened up a Garganta and jumped in it.
Urahara Shōten
Ichigo jumped out of the Garganta to see Mila Rose and Francesca Rose crying and catching up. Sung-Sung and Masaki talking about something. Jinta and Apacci arguing about something. Uryū was teaching Ururu how to sow. Ichigo looked at the far corner to see Nel and Tier are still unconscious. "Hello everyone," Ichigo said. Jinta and Apacci looked up at Ichigo then resume arguing. Mila and Francesca can over and gave Ichigo a big sisterly hug then resume with their discussion. Ururu briefly waved at Ichigo before resuming to sow. While Uryū nodded at Ichigo. Ichigo walked over to Tier and Nel and sat down.
"It's time to wake up," Ichigo said to the girls. Immediately, Nel started to move around and began to stretch her arms.
"Hello Ichigo," Nel said as she let out a yawn.
"Hello Nel," Ichigo replied. Ichigo helped Nel stand up. Ichigo now noticed how close Nel was to his height. Nel cracked a small smile and she kissed Ichigo on the lip. The two lasted for a few seconds. Nel took a step back and Ichigo walked to see Tier finally waking up.
"Mistress!" The fracción members cried out.
"Hello Ichigo," Tier said as she sat up.
"Hello Tier," Ichigo said as he sat down next to her.
"So Kyōka and Hōgyoku told me what you had to do to save me," Tier said. Ichigo nodded. "Why?" Tier asked.
"Why I saved you?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes," Tier replied.
"I saved you for a few reasons," Ichigo said. "The first reason was my way of thanking your fracción for helped me when I was in Hueco Mundo," Ichigo said. Tier nodded in understanding. "The second reason was that I saw someone who needed help," Ichigo said.
"I see," Tier said. She was thinking of something before she replied. "Kurosaki Ichigo, after considering everything I have heard from you, Kyōka and Hōgyoku… I accept." Tier said as she grabbed Ichigo's head and she pulls in for a kiss. All of the Fracción members were shocked that their mistress would go and kiss a male; a Shinigami makes it worse. The kiss lasted for a lasted for about five seconds. Nel had to help restrain Apacci before she did anything stupid. After that Tier let go of Ichigo's head and Tier moved her head.
"Now that you are awake, do you wish to rule Hueco Mundo?" Ichigo asked.
"You would allow me to rule Hueco Mundo?" Tier asked.
"I would," Ichigo replied.
"Why?" Tier asked.
"It would not appear like it, but I spent a year in Soul Society fixing a lot of the problems that the Soul Society had. One of those problems was their government." Ichigo said. "So, I assisted in rebuilding a new government that is willing to seek peace treaties with the residents of Hueco Mundo and other races," Ichigo explained.
"I see…" Tier said. "I accept the position."
"What do you want Nel?" Ichigo asked.
"I want to stay with you, but I also want to help Tier with Hueco Mundo," Nel said.
"Well… You know that with the peerage link we will mentally be together." Ichigo said.
"Really?" Nel said.
"Really," Ichigo replied through Nel's connection.
"But I still want to hug you," Nel replied through the connection.
"You know that I can hear you right?" Tier said. Nel blushed upon hearing Tier's interjection while Ichigo chuckled at Nel.
"I'll assist with Tier," Nel answered.
"What about you three?" Ichigo asked.
"I'll go with Harribel-sama," Apacci said. Sung-Sung nodded in agreement. While Mila Rose looked nervous; looking at Tier and then Francesca.
"I…I." Mila Rose said.
"You wish to stay here," Tier said.
"I do." Mila Rose admitted.
"Sure," Tier said.
"What!?" The entire fracción said.
"I am not that blind," Tier said. "I can see that this person is very important to you Mila," Tier said.
"But… But…" Mila Rose said.
"Don't worry about the Shinigami going crazy the fact that I allowed an Arrancar to say in the World of the Living," Ichigo said. "By the way, another Shinigami and I will meet you at Las Noches to make a peace treaty when you are ready," Ichigo said.
"Ok," Tier said as she opened up a Garganta. Nel Tier and her Fracción entered the Garganta before it closed.
"Ichigo," Francesca said as she walked up to Ichigo. "Thank you for helping me find my sister."
"No problem. I do this for all of my friends." Ichigo said. With that Francesca left Urahara Shōten with Mila Rose floating behind her.
"Ichigo," Masaki said. Ichigo turned at her.
"Kaa-san. You are in a special case." Ichigo said.
"Special case?" Masaki repeated.
"It is because you are a spirit and with my influence, you have three options," Ichigo said.
"What is the first option?" Masaki asked.
"The first one is that I take you to Yuzu and Karin as a ghost and allow you to live your remaining existence as a spirit," Ichigo said.
"The second one please," Masaki asked.
"The second option is that I take you to Soul Society and allow you to join the Gotei 14," Ichigo said.
"Gotei 14?" Uryū and Masaki questioned.
"One of the changes was resurrecting the Kidō Corp and formally adding them in as the 14th Division," Ichigo explained.
"I see," Uryū replied.
"What is the third option?" Masaki said.
"The third option, the best option, is that resurrecting you as you are but you are mentally tied to me," Ichigo said.
"What do you mean resurrect? What about mentally connected?" Masaki asked.
"I am giving you a new body that is physically capable to handle all the reiatsu you use and can handle a lot of things your old normal body couldn't," Ichigo explained.
"What about mentally connected?" Masaki asked.
"Due to the process, you are mentally connected to my mind and to the minds of the other members who went through this process," Ichigo answered.
"You've done this with others!" Masaki asked.
"I think I have done this with eight others," Ichigo said.
"I need some time to think about this," Masaki said.
"That is fine. I'll go talk to Uncle Ryūken about what I can do regarding his Quincy powers." Ichigo said as he looked to Uryū. "Uryū, are you back in your body?" Ichigo asked.
"I am," Uryū replied.
"All right then, let's go see your father," Ichigo said.
"Sure," Uryū said. Ichigo grabbed Uryū's hand and shunpō'ed over to Ryūken's house.
Scene Change: Ryūken's House
Ichigo and Uryū arrived at Ryūken's house. Ichigo knocked on the door. A few seconds later, Ryūken opened the door.
"Hello, Uryū. Hello Ichigo." Ryūken said. "How can I help you?" Ryūken asked.
"I need to talk to you about something," Ichigo said. Ryūken sighed.
"Very well," Ryūken said as he allowed Ichigo and Uryū to enter the house. Ichigo, Uryū and Ryūken sat down in the living room.
"Is Ji-san and Okaa-san here?" Uryū asked. A few seconds later the residential spirits floated down.
"So, what is so important that you wanted the whole family here?" Ryūken said.
"As of a few moments ago, I defeated Jūhabahha and absorbed all of his knowledge," Ichigo said.
"Wait… you managed to defeat Jūhabahha!" Ryūken said.
"I did," Ichigo said. It took Ryūken and the other Quincies a few moments to calm themselves down.
"Please continue," Ryūken said.
"Anyways, with my newly gained knowledge, I learned a way to strip Quincies of their powers," Ichigo said.
"So, you want to ask me if I want my powers to be stripped," Ryūken said.
"Yes," Ichigo said.
"Why?" Ryūken asked.
"By stripping you of your powers, I can offset your sins with this act," Ichigo said.
"Will I regain my powers if I die?" Ryūken asked.
"I am not sure," Ichigo replied. "I honestly feel that you might possess a portion of your powers," Ichigo answered.
"Very well," Ryūken said. "I accept," Ryūken said. He turned to face the ghost of his late wife and father. "Tou-san, Kanae. I am sorry for being a horrible son and husband." Ryūken said. He raised his hand to stop them from replying. "I was a horrible son to you Tou-san; constantly arguing about everything you taught me. But with everything that happened, I understood what you were saying, and I hope you could forgive me." Ryūken said.
"My son," Sōken said. Ryūken looked at him. "Every time you acted like that, I never hated or blamed you. I understood your actions. Even if you didn't help others with your Quincy heritage, you still found your way to help others." Sōken said.
"Kanae," Ryūken said as he turned to his wife. "You were always there for me in the darkest days and the brightest nights. I was very happy when you give birth to me a son. And I am sorry for disappointing you for what I did." Ryūken said.
"Ryūken," Kanae said. Ryūken looked up to see his wife holding her husband and kissing him on the lips. "I was there every step of the way. Even though I didn't like how you treated Uryū, you still did what you could and with that, you knew." Kanae said. The two smiled as they looked at Ryūken. Ryūken turned to Ichigo. "I'm ready."
"Ok. I just need to place my hand on your forehead." Ichigo said as he placed his forehand on Ryūken's forehead.
"Auswählen," Ichigo said. Suddenly energy from Ryūken's body began to leak out.
"GAH!" Ryūken yelled as his Quincy powers are being ripped out of him. A few seconds later, Ryūken stopped screaming.
"Ryūken," Ichigo said. "How do you feel?"
"I feel like something I didn't realize was there was taken from me," Ryūken said.
"Ryūken!" Kanae floated towards Ryūken. She tried to get Ryūken's attention, but she floated past him.
"Why is everyone looking at me with sadness?" Ryūken asked.
"Your wife just proved that you no longer have your Quincy powers," Ichigo said.
"I see," Ryūken said as he looked at Uryū. "Son. I want you to know that if you decide to keep your powers or discard them I will always love you." Ryūken said.
"So Uryū do you want to keep your powers?" Ichigo asked.
"I…" Uryū said as he closed his eyes. "I still do," Uryū said.
"But Uryū," Kanae said. Ichigo raised his hand.
"Uryū, what if I give you something similar to your Quincy powers to replace them," Ichigo said.
"What do you mean?" Uryū asked.
"I will still take your Quincy powers away but replace them with something else that works similar to Quincy's powers," Ichigo said.
"What?" Uryū asked.
"I will take your Quincy powers away from you and give you another power similar to your Quincy powers," Ichigo stated.
"Do it then," Uryū said.
"Alright then," Ichigo said as he placed his hand on Uryū's forehead. "Auswählen," Ichigo said. Suddenly energy from Uryū's body began to leak out.
"GAH!" Uryū yelled as his Quincy powers are being ripped out of him. A few seconds later, Uryū stopped screaming.
"Uryū," Ichigo said. "How do you feel?" Ichigo asked.
"I feel weak and empty. Like when I used Letzt Stil." Uryū said.
"Good. Here is the next part." Ichigo said. Ichigo began to form a white ball of reiatsu. On the inside of the white ball, there is a small black ball of reiatsu. Before anyone could say anything Ichigo shoved that ball inside Uryū's body.
"GAH!" Uryū screamed as he fell on his knees. A few seconds later, Uryū stopped screaming.
"Uryū can you get up?" Ichigo asked. Uryū slowly got up. Ichigo noticed that Uryū's body was briefly shaking. "Uryū I want you to focus on your Quincy Cross and slowly pull reiatsu from your body," Ichigo instructed. Uryū gave Ichigo a questionable look. "Just do it." Ichigo said. Uryū sighed as he closed his eyes. Uryū focused on the reiatsu in his body instead of focusing on the reishi floating around him. Slowly reiatsu began to gather around Uryū's Quincy Cross as it formed a Quincy Bow. Unlike Uryū's old bow, with its blue and white, the new one is black and white. "Uryū." Ichigo said. Uryū looked at Ichigo. "You are no longer a Quincy but, I gave you the ability to draw on reiatsu to form your bow. Your arrows now purify instead of destroying Hollows." Ichigo said.
"Thank you," Uryū said. Ichigo then looked at Kanae and Sōken.
"Do you two wish to remain in the World of the Living or do you wish to move on?" Ichigo asked. Kanae looked at Sōken who nodded towards her.
"We both believe it is time for us to move on," Kanae said.
"As you wish," Ichigo said. "Talk to Uryū one last time before I end you two off," Ichigo said. Uryū, Kanae, and Sōken left the room for a private talk. A few minutes later, Ichigo could see Uryū with slightly puffy eyes. "Are you two ready?" Ichigo asked. They nodded. Ichigo summoned Tsuki no Hansha and performed Konsō. The two spirits smiled as they disappeared.
"Anyways, call me if you need anything," Ichigo said as he shunpō'ed back to Urahara Shōten.
Scene Change: Urahara Shōten
Ichigo walked inside Urahara Shōten. Ichigo founded Masaki sitting down and thinking about what Ichigo proposed to her. Ichigo sat down across from her.
"Kaa-san. What do you want to do?" Ichigo asked.
"I want to do the third option," Masaki said.
"Are you sure?" Ichigo asked.
"I thought about it and I decided that want to," Masaki said.
"Very well. The schrift that Jūhabahha has you. Do you want it still?" Ichigo asked. Masaki looked at the Quincy Shield.
"I kind of do," Masaki admitted.
"Very well. Before I start, let me fully fuse that schrift to your soul." Ichigo said as he placed his hand on Masaki's forehead. Before Masaki could finish, Ichigo forced the schrift to shatter and fully fuse with Masaki's soul. Ichigo moved his hand away from Masaki's forehead. "How do you feel?" Ichigo asked.
"I feel stronger," Masaki said. "I also feel more tied to this shield."
"Anyways, let's get this started," Ichigo said as he summoned his pawn piece.
"What is that?" Masaki asked. Ichigo spent the next few minutes explaining each of the Chaos Pieces. "Anyways why are you giving me a pawn piece instead of a rook piece?" Masaki asked.
"I'm going to give you a pawn piece because I feel that the versatility that a pawn piece would work better for you," Ichigo said.
"Very well," Masaki said. Ichigo pushed the piece inside Masaki's body. Masaki began to glow black, white, red, blue, purple and yellow. Masaki's body stopped glowing as she stood on the ground. She moved around. "I'm alive… I'm ALIVE!" Masaki said.
"Come on. Let me take you to where Yuzu and Karin are." Ichigo said.
"You know where Yuzu and Karin are?" Masaki asked.
"Who do you think is taking care of them," Ichigo replied. With that Ichigo opened a Garganta and the two walked inside.
Scene Change: Kuoh
Yuzu and Karin just arrive back home in Kuoh to see a Garganta opening up. Walking out of the Garganta was Ichigo and Masaki.
"Ichi-nii! Kaa-san!" The girls said as they hugged Ichigo and Kaa-san.
"Hello girls," Masaki said.
"Yuzu. Karin." Ichigo said. The girls looked at Ichigo. "Kaa-san decided to join us in the peerage," Ichigo said.
"Really!?" The girls said.
"Really," Ichigo replied.
"You girls are in the peerage as well?" Masaki asked. Suddenly Ichigo's phone began to ring.
"Girls please explain to Kaa-san about the peerage. I need to take this phone call." Ichigo said as he walked out of the room. Ichigo looked at his phone and noticed that it was Mokuba who is calling him. "Hello?" Ichigo answered.
"Ichigo!" Mokuba said.
"What happened?" Ichigo asked.
"About a week ago, for some reason, Seto left Domino City on his private jet. Seto has done this before so I didn't pay any attention to it. But Seto never left this long." Mokuba said.
"Do you have any leads?" Ichigo asked.
"According to the tracker on the jet, it set Seto's last known location to be Egypt," Mokuba answered.
"I see," Ichigo replied. "Kyōka." Ichigo thought.
"Already on it," Kyōka replied.
"I will see what I can do," Ichigo replied as he ended the call.
"Ichigo," Kyōka said. "According to Yomu Kioku, Seto was dueling a person named Bakura who ended up telling Seto about Egypt," Kyōka said.
"Any more info?" Ichigo asked.
"It seems that Yugi and the others are also somewhere in Egypt. They met with the Ishtars and managed to meet Shadi who took them somewhere." Kyōka said.
"Very well," Ichigo said. Ichigo walked back to the group. "I got some business to take care of," Ichigo said as he ripped open a Garganta and jumped inside it.
Scene Change: Ishtar's Home
Ichigo appeared outside of the Ishtar's home that he managed to get from Yugi's and his friend's memory. Ichigo knocked on the door. A few seconds later, the door opened slightly. Ichigo could see an eye looking thought the gap. Ichigo waited for a few seconds as the door closes. The door swung wide open to see it was Marik.
"Ichigo!" Marik said in surprise.
"Hello, Marik," Ichigo said.
"How can I help you?" Marik asked.
"Where are Yugi and his friends?" Ichigo asked.
"They are currently in another realm right now," Marik said. "I'll explain inside," Marik said. Ichigo walked inside the house as he led Ichigo down to the basement. Marik flipped a light switch to reveal the stone tablet from the museum. "All of them have entered the realm to find the pharaoh's memories," Marik said.
"Is there any way for me to enter the realm?" Ichigo asked.
"According to Shadi, you can enter by finding the correct memory door in the pharaoh's mind," Marik said.
"I see. Thank you." Ichigo said. Kyōka quickly searched Yugi's memories to find the correct path needed to enter the memory world. Suddenly Ichigo began to glow before disappearing.
Scene Change: Memory Realm: Ancient Egypt
"The light of hope..." The pharaoh said as he slowly stands up. "I can't give up yet!" The pharaoh said. "I believe in my friends who came here to fight alongside me!" The pharaoh said.
"Fool! Haven't you figured it out?" Zorc said." Do, you know what causes the darkness that fuels me to grow?" Zorc asked. Before the pharaoh could answer, Zorc resume talking. "The humans are the very thing that grows the darkness!" Zorc said.
"What?" The pharaoh said.
"Amid light, the only way for men to know themselves is to turn to the darkness and see their own shadow!" Zorc said. "Without my darkness, you humans would be mere drones, never question your existence. The never-ending wars and slaughters among men. They are the instincts of mankind, the regular adjustments needed to sustain life!" Zorc said.
"Shut up!" The pharaoh said. However, Zorc ignores the pharaoh and continued his speech.
"As such, with my powers, I will create a world of eternal darkness! I'll give you mortal an endless Hell!" Zorc said.
"Shut up!" The pharaoh said before falling to his knees from fatigue. Zorc began to laugh.
"Pharaoh! See your land perish with your own two eyes! Then fall into the eternal darkness!" Zorc said.
"I… won't let myself fall here!" Yugi said. Zorc began to charge up a red energy blast. Suddenly an energy blast interrupted Zorc.
"WHO DARES!" Zorc roars out.
"I do," Ichigo said as he appeared next to the pharaoh.
"Ichigo." The pharaoh said.
"Don't worry help is on the way," Ichigo said as he points to four glowing stars. The pharaoh looked at the glowing stars to realize that it was his friends.
"You… You… SAMURAI!" Zorc yelled out. Ichigo looked at Zorc.
"It has been a long time since I help sealed you isn't that right AKU!" Ichigo yelled out. Suddenly Zorc began to laugh.
"Foolish Samurai, you may have defeated me long ago but now I am even stronger with all the new powers I absorbed," Zorc said as he began to charge up another red energy blast. Ichigo flung another nameless Getsuga at Zorc's energy ball. The energy ball exploded in Zorc's face. Ichigo shunpō'ed near Zorc.
"Getsuga Tenshō!" Ichigo said. Zorc managed to dodge the attack. But Zorc's left arm was chopped off from the attack.
"GAH!" Zorc yelled out. Meanwhile, Yugi and his friends managed to get to the pharaoh.
"Pharaoh. We did it. We found your name." Yugi said.
"Really!? What is it?" The pharaoh asked.
"It was…" Yugi said before realizing the problem. "I don't know how to say it," Yugi said. Upon hearing what Yugi said. Zorc began to laugh.
"You fool. Without that name you're finished!" Zorc laughed before groaning in pain from another attack from Ichigo.
"Hurry up and figure out a way for you to tell the pharaoh his name. I'll distract Zorc." Ichigo said. As he flung more Getsuga Tenshōs at Zorc to distract him. As this was going on, Yugi and his friends managed to reveal the pharaoh his name. Suddenly the pharaoh began to glow white.
"Pharaoh can you read the symbols?" Téa asked.
"Do you know what your name is?" Yugi asked.
"Yes. My ancient name has been revealed. I am King Atem!" Atem said. Suddenly everywhere around Atem began to glow brightly. "And now mighty gods of Egypt I revive thee," Atem said. Suddenly Yugi's deck began to glow A red, blue and yellow light shot out of Yugi's deck, flew past Zorc and landed the dead bodies of the Egyptian Gods. Suddenly a red, blue and yellow pillar of light shot up towards the sky. The pillar of lights vanished. In their place were the three revived Egyptian God cards.
"Do you think they'll win this time?" Téa asked.
"The Egyptian God cards are powerless against me!" Zorc said. "You have already tried this, and it has failed!"
"Your right about this. But there is something I didn't do last time. Fuse them!" Atem said. Suddenly Obelisk the Great War God, Osiris the Heavenly Dragon, and The Winged Dragon of Ra began to glow before fusing. "I now bring forth the Creator of Light!" Atem said.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Zorc yelled at The Creator God of Light, Horakhty appeared. The Creator God of Light, Horakhty charged up a ball of light and blast it at Zorc. "GHAH!" Zorc cried out as this physical body began to crack. Suddenly his body exploded to reveal a human-looking being 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 made of flickering red flame. Instead of visible feet, everyone could see that his body simply ending at the bottom with robe-like darkness.
"Welcome back Aku," Ichigo said. Aku looked down and spotted Ichigo.
"SAMURAI!" Aku yelled. Suddenly Aku was trapped in Kidō.
"Who's this?" Atem asked.
"This is Aku. The true being of evil and darkness. I sealed him away long ago. It seems that his seal weakened and allowed him to absorb some Dark Magic which resulted in him evolving to Zorc." Ichigo theorized. "Atem, can you get The Creator God of Light to flood Aku with as much Holy energy as possible?" Ichigo asked.
"Sure," Atem said as The Creator God of Light, Horakhty started to flood Aku with Holy Light.
"IT BURNS!" Aku cried out. Ichigo slowly cast various kidō fueled with the Holy Light. In the end, Aku was trapped in a white coffin covered with Japanese kanji and various runes. Ichigo then forced the earth to open as he dropped the sealed Aku into the earth before closing it back up.
"It's finally done," Atem said.
"Atem!" someone said. Everyone turned and looked at The Creator God of Light, Horakhty. "3,000 years ago, thou were unable to defeat Zorc with only your power." The Creator God of Light, Horakhty said.
"Horakhty..." Atem said.
"At that time, thou chose to seal thy self along with Zorc. But, when Zorc has been revived, thou were... You have some friends to protect thee and some companions to support thy. That was the only manner you could gather the power to defeat Zorc and seal him away. The strength of just one is not enough. When the power of everyone is gathered, all becomes possible." The Creator God of Light, Horakhty said. Suddenly the Creator God of Light, Horakhty began to glow and split into the three Egyptian God cards.
"Hello Osiris, Ra and Obelisk." Ichigo greeted.
"What do you want Shinigami," Osiris said.
"I wish to see if I can receive your blessing for the Death Quest," Ichigo said.
"It has been a very long time since anyone ever approached me about the Death Quest," Osiris said. A few seconds Osiris resumed. "I will grant your request," Osiris said. "However, upon completion of Atem's final task, you must assist in releasing all the trapped souls in the Millennium Items," Osiris said.
"Wait. I thought the Millennium Items no longer have any souls trapped within." Ichigo said.
"Technically not individual souls. The souls trapped in the individual items formed into individual beings." Osiris clarified.
"I see. I accept." Ichigo said. With that, the three Egyptian Gods disappeared. Atem passed the title of Pharaoh to Priest Seto and they all returned to return to the real world.
Scene Change: Egypt: Tablet of Lost Memories
Ichigo and everyone woke up from their spiritual journey. Marik and Ishizu quickly explained to the group about Atem's final task. With that Marik and Ishizu took the entire group by boat to the Temple of the Realm of the Dead. Eventually, everyone arrives at the secret temple and Marik reveals the final task. Atem must duel someone and lose. Joey and Kaiba argue on who should duel Atem. Eventually, Yugi announces that he will duel Atem. With that the final duel shall be tomorrow; Marik and Ishizu provided rooms for everyone for the night. During this time, Ichigo decided to arrange the meeting for Ukitake.
"Yasaka?" Ichigo asked through the peerage link.
"Yes, Ichigo?" Yasaka asked with a tired tone.
"Did I wake you up?" Ichigo asked.
"It's like 3 am here(1)," Yasaka replied.
"Sorry, it is 8 pm here in Egypt," Ichigo replied.
"Anyways what do you need?" Yasaka asked.
"In the evening, Japan time, do you think you can host a meeting between the three factions, yourself and Soul Society?" Ichigo asked. Even from the peerage link, Ichigo could tell he got her attention.
"What!?" Yasaka said.
"I am planning to arrange a meeting between Soul Society, Yōkai of Japan and the three Factions living in Japan," Ichigo said.
"How did you manage to get Soul Society off their lazy asses and do this?" Yasaka asked.
"A lady is not supposed to swear." Ichigo teased.
"If your future mate wakes you up at 3am and surprising her with a very important political meeting you would also give no fucks right now," Yasaka said.
"True," Ichigo said. "Anyways can you do it?" Ichigo asked.
"Very well," Yasaka said.
"Thank you," Ichigo said. Ichigo pulled out his phone and dialed Sirzechs's number. It took a few seconds before Sirzechs picked up the phone.
"Hello whoever you are it better be very important to call me at this hour," Sirzechs said; not aware who is on the other side of the phone.
"It's Ichigo," Ichigo replied.
"Ichigo what is so important that you need to call me at this hour," Sirzechs said.
"Can you call Azazel and Michael to meet me at Yasaka's temple in the evening?" Ichigo asked.
"Wait… say this again." Sirzechs said.
"Can you get the Fraction leaders to meet with me at Yasaka's temple this evening," Ichigo said.
"Fine," Sirzechs said. "Can I got back to sleep?" Sirzechs said.
"Sure. Meet thereat…" Ichigo said, suddenly remembering that Yasaka didn't say a time.
"7 pm." Yasaka said through the link.
"Thanks," Ichigo replied though the link. "7 pm." Ichigo replied.
"Ok," Sirzechs said before hanging up. Ichigo opened a Garganta and jumped in it.
Scene Change: Thirteenth Division
A Garganta opened up outside of Thirteenth Division. Some people stopped and looked at the Garganta suspiciously. Suddenly Ichigo walked out of the Garganta and it closed behind him. Everyone quickly resumed what they were doing since there was no danger. Ichigo ignored them since Ichigo was used to be stared at. Ichigo quickly walked through the corridors. Ichigo was thinking about the meeting and accidentally bumped into someone and she fell to the ground; knocking various paperwork onto the ground.
"Sorry. Let me help you with that." Ichigo said as he began to pick up the various paperwork on the ground. The women also helped picked up the various paperwork.
"Thank you for your help." The woman said. Ichigo got a clear look at the person. She was a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure with very long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair tied in a long ponytail, reaching down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with a violet ribbon keeping it in place. She had on the traditional Shinigami robes on with a zanpakutō on her right side. Ichigo felt he saw someone like her before.
"Sorry to be rude but what is your name?" Ichigo asked.
"My name is Himejima Shuri." Shuri said.
"You don't happen to know a person name Akeno?" Ichigo asked.
"That is my daughter's name," Shuri said.
"This makes it a little better than," Ichigo said. "Follow me to Ukitake's office," Ichigo said as the two walked to Ukitake's office and knock on the door.
"Come in." Ukitake said. Ichigo side the door opened as the two entered.
"Ichigo-kun and Himejima-san. What can I do for you?" Ukitake said.
"I arranged for you to meet the three Fraction leaders and the Yōkai leader tonight," Ichigo said.
"WHAT!" Ukitake and Shuri said. Then Ukitake looked at Shuri.
"You know about the Three Fractions?" Ukitake asked.
"My husband is a member of the Fallen Angel Fraction," Shuri said.
"I see." Ukitake said.
"Correction, Baraqiel is the current Vice Governor-General of the Fallen Angels and Grigori," Ichigo said.
"Really?" Shuri said. "I didn't know he was that high in the chain of command."
"Anyways, tonight at 7 pm, you will meet with the three Fraction leaders and the Yōkai leader to discuss terms for a peace treaty between all of them," Ichigo said.
"I see. I trust you are coming with me?" Ukitake asked.
"Yes, I will," Ichigo said.
"What about me?" Shuri asked.
"You are coming along just to reunite with your husband and daughter," Ichigo said.
"REALLY!" Shuri said.
"Really," Ichigo said. Suddenly Ichigo was wrapped in a hug.
"Thank you!" Shuri said.
"No… problem," Ichigo said.
"Ukitake, I want you to have her face covered until we formally start the meeting," Ichigo said. "I will also try and arrange for Akeno to be there as well," Ichigo said.
"Very well." Ukitake said.
"Thank you!" Shuri said upon hearing what Ichigo was planning to do.
"Alright then. See all of you tonight." Ichigo said as he entered the Garganta.
Scene Change: Temple of the Realm of the Dead
Ichigo walked out of the Garganta realizing that he could make sure that Akeno and Baraqiel show up to this meeting. Ichigo quickly dialed Sirzechs's number.
"What else do you want?" Sirzechs groaned
"Can you make sure Akeno and her father attend this meeting?" Ichigo asked.
"Sure, anything else?" Sirzechs said; trying to get back to sleep.
"Nope," Ichigo said as hung up on Sirzechs. Ichigo decided now was a good time to go to bed.
The next morning, Ichigo woke up to see that Yugi was also up.
"Sup," Ichigo said.
"Hello, Ichigo," Yugi said.
"Are you ready?" Ichigo asked.
"I am," Yugi said. Ishizu called everyone for breakfast. Everyone quietly ate breakfast. Ichigo could tell that everyone was tensed. Eventually, breakfast was over, and the ritual began. [Like Canon]. The duel was impressive. Yugi and Atem each gave it there all. When Atem brought out all three Egyptian Gods, almost everyone gave up on Yugi since no one ever fought against all three Egyptian Gods. Somehow Yugi managed to defeat the Egyptian Gods. In the end, Yugi defeated Atem and ending the ritual. While everyone was saying their good-byes to Atem, Ichigo walked over to the Millennium Stone with all the seven Millennium Items inserted. Ichigo summoned Kokugatsu and tapped Kokugatsu on the Eye of Anubis on the Millennium Eye. Ichigo could see the kanji 魂葬 [Konsō] covering the Eye of Anubis on the Millennium Eye. Ichigo repeated this with the remaining Millennium Items. Suddenly the kanji began to glow light blue. Ichigo could see cracks began to form around each Millennium Item. Balls of light began to slip out of the Millennium Items. Ichigo began to count. When the 99th balls of light slipped out of the Millennium Item, all of the Millennium Items exploded into golden particles. The 99 balls of light floated for a few seconds before flying to the open gate. Ichigo sent Kokugatsu back to his mindscape. From Atem's duel disk, a red light shot out and formed the head of Osiris.
"Hello, Osiris." Ichigo greeted.
"Hello Kurosaki Ichigo." Osiris replied.
"Are you here to keep your side of the bargain," Ichigo said.
"I am," Osiris replied. "I, Osiris God of the afterlife, death, life, and resurrection, give Kurosaki Ichigo my blessing regarding the Death Quest," Osiris said. Ichigo suddenly glowed red for a few seconds. "I have completed my side of the bargain. Good luck Kurosaki Ichigo." Osiris said before disappearing in red particles. With that done. Atem turned towards the gate and walked to the gate. As Atem entered the gate, the doors began to close. As soon as the doors closed, the temple began to shake. Everyone quickly ran out of the temple. With their final mission completed, the Tombkeeper were finally free of their legendary duty. Ishizu managed to arrange a flight to take Yugi and his friends home. Ichigo informed Seto that he has some personal business to take care of and will see Seto later. Seto nodded and boarded his Blue-Eyes Jet and left. Ichigo looked at his watch and quickly did the math to realize that it was almost time for the meeting. Ichigo quickly ripped open a Garganta and jumped in.
Scene Change: Yasaka's Temple
Ichigo jumped out of the Garganta and landed on the front step of Yasaka's temple. One of the many servants guided Ichigo to the selected meeting place. Ichigo could see on Sirzechs's side, Ichigo could see Akeno was slightly nervous being here. Azazel and Baraqiel were sitting and waiting. Michael was sitting patiently waiting. Ukitake and Shuri, who are still keeping her identity hidden was various curious about the beings in front of him. Yasaka was sitting like the princess she is.
"Looks like everyone is here," Ichigo said. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Due to my connection with everyone here, I will be the mediator for this meeting. Does anyone object?" Ichigo asked. Nobody objected. "Before we continue, Baraqiel and Akeno can you please stand up," Ichigo said. Baraqiel and Akeno stood up. Ichigo could tell they were confused. "Guest, please reveal yourself," Ichigo said. Shuri lowered her hood. Akeno gasped. Baraqiel was shocked.
"K-kaa-san…" Akeno whispered.
"Shuri…" Baraqiel said.
"I'm back," Shuri said. Suddenly Akeno and Baraqiel ran over and hugged Shuri. Ichigo could see tears began to form around all three of them.
"I think we should move to another room to allow this family some privacy," Ichigo suggested. Everyone agreed and stood out. Yasaka left first followed by Ichigo and Michael. Sirzechs walked by as whispered to Akeno. "Stay here and spend some time together as a family."
"But…" Akeno said. Sirzechs ignored her and left her. At the same time, Azazel walked to Baraqiel and told him to also stay here with his family. As for Ukitake, he smiled at Shuri and nodded to her before leaving the room. In the next room, the actual meeting started. Ukitake informed Sirzechs, Azazel, Michael, and Yasaka of their purpose as Shinigami.
"So, let's say that there is a stray devil or one of our enemy and your Shinigami encounters it. What would that Shinigami do?" Sirzechs asked.
"Well, the Shinigami who is assigned to that area will be instructed to detain the stray devil or enemy and give it to you or a trusted ally. If the Shinigami is unable to detain the stray devil or enemy, then that Shinigami will kill them." Ukitake said. Sirzechs nodded in accepting that answer.
"Who would that Shinigami be then?" Michael asked.
"How many cities have the three fractions claimed?" Ukitake asked.
"Officially only Kuoh Town is the place we claimed," Sirzechs said.
"Officially?" Ukitake said.
"Yes," Yasaka said. "Officially Kuoh Town is the only town Devils, Fallen Angels and Angels can inhabit as this moment," Yasaka said. "However, I am aware that a few Devils and Fallen Angels left Kuoh Town and are living like humans in various cities," Yasaka said as she glared at Sirzechs and Azazel.
"Back to this meeting," Ichigo said; regaining everyone's attention. "Anyways, would anyone have any issues with this treaty?" Ichigo asked.
"I do," Azazel said. "Who would the Shinigami stationed in Kuoh Town be?"
"If she is strong enough, it would likely be Himejima-san." Ukitake said.
"Very well," Azazel said.
"Any more questions?" Ichigo asked. Everyone shook their head. Ichigo summoned a piece of paper and pen. "So, in this peace treaty, if any fraction needs any assistance and request aid, all other fractions will send support to the fraction in need," Ichigo said as he began to write. "Also, in case of an encounter with an enemy of any kind, they will be detained for the proper forces to deal with," Ichigo said as he continued to write. "Am I missing anything?" Ichigo asked. Everyone shook their head. With that Ichigo, drew five lines at the bottom of the paper. Ichigo passed the paper around to allow everyone to sign the paper. Once it was finished, Ichigo made copies of the paper and handed it to everyone. With that done, the meeting formally closed. Michael and Sirzechs left. Everyone returned to the other room and inform everyone what is going to happen. Ukitake looked at Shuri and said good luck before opening a Senkaimon and leaving. Azazel summoned a transportation circle, and everyone entered it. Ichigo and Yasaka had a quiet dinner alone. Ichigo told her all the things he has done since he left Kyoto. Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Yasaka sighed as she walked over to the door and pulled it open. Standing outside the door was one of Yasaka's many maids.
"Yes?" Yasaka said.
"There is an important phone call waiting for you." The maid said.
"Who is it?" Yasaka asked.
"One of the Dark Lords." The maid replied. Yasaka sighed.
"Very well," Yasaka said as she faced Ichigo. "Sorry, Ichigo I need to-"
"Yasaka, I understand I'll play with Kunou until you are done," Ichigo said as he left the room. Ichigo walked to Kunou's room and played with his 'daughter'. Twenty minutes later, Ichigo put Kunou to bed. As soon as Ichigo stepped out of Kunou's room, a maid appeared and guided Ichigo to Yasaka's office. Ichigo walked in and sat down.
"What happened?" Ichigo asked.
"Well, one of my acquaintances is a headmaster for an academy called Yōkai Academy. His goal was for Yōkai and Humans together in peace. He has some sort of information on the whereabouts of Moka and in exchange, he wants you to train a few students for him." Yasaka said.
"I see…" Ichigo said. "Tell him, for now, I want to see the students and receive the information before I make a call," Ichigo said.
"Very well. My acquaintance's name is Tenmei Mikogami. He wears white robes that cover his entire body and head. The only thing you can see is two yellow eyes that glow from the shadow his hood creates." Yasaka said. "He sent someone to escort you all to his academy tomorrow afternoon."
"Very well. See you then." Ichigo said as he opened a Garganta and jumped in.
Scene Change: Seto's office
Ichigo walked out of the Garganta to see Seto looking over various paperwork. Ichigo walked over to Seto's desk and sat at a nearby chair. A few seconds later, Seto put the paperwork down.
"What do you need?" Seto said.
"I am here to let you know that myself and Eu will be quitting out bodyguard positions," Ichigo said.
"Very well," Seto said. "Unfortunately, you two are leaving but I can understand why," Seto said. "You informed me that you two will be here until your mission here is done correct," Seto said. Ichigo nodded. "With Atem laid to rest, your job is done." Once again, Ichigo nodded.
"We will be gone in the morning," Ichigo said.
"Very well, the pay for the rest of the month will be sent in two days," Seto said. "Anything else?"
"Nope," Ichigo said as he stood up and walked out. Ichigo walked to Eu's room and knocked on the door. Eu opened the door and hugged Ichigo.
"I missed you," Eu said. Ichigo smiled.
"Can I come in?" Ichigo asked. Eu moved to allow Ichigo to walk in. "I'm letting you know that we are leaving tomorrow," Ichigo said.
"Where are we going?" Eu asked.
"I'm sorry. I can't bring you along on this trip." Ichigo apologized.
"Very well," Eu said. Ichigo could tell she was slightly disappointed. "I'll be visiting some old acquaintance in the Underworld," Eu said as she teleported away by using Yūyami. Ichigo sighed as he left Eu's room. Ichigo ripped open a Garganta and jumped in it. Ichigo landed right outside Yasaka's bedroom. Ichigo knocked on the door. The door slid open to reveal a Yasaka ready for some sleep. She pulled Ichigo in and the two went to bed.
Notes.
