Kon'nichiwa [Translation of Hello]
Scene Change: Morning
Ichigo once again woke up at 5 am for his usual training. Moka grumbled as she got up too. Elizabeth continued to peacefully sleep. Ichigo and Moka changed into their running clothes. They walked down to see Yuzu and Karin; who was also in their running clothes. Everyone quickly exchanged their good morning to each other. Everyone changed to a pair of running clothes and began to jog around Kuoh Town. Eventually, they returned to the house. From there, Yuzu and Moka went to take a shower first while Ichigo and Karin went to the backyard and began to spar.
"Come on Karin," Ichigo said as he dodged another kick from Karin.
"Stop dodging Ichi-nii!" Karin yelled as she tried to kick Ichigo with a roundhouse.
"Come on Karin. Yhwach told me that you've gotten much stronger since I last saw you." Ichigo said.
"Fine then!" Karin said. Ichigo noticed red lines began to show up on her body.
"Is that Blut Arterie?" Ichigo thought. Kaien charged at Ichigo with more punches and kicks. Ichigo could sense the attacks were much stronger than before. "Does that mean she knows Blut Vene?" Ichigo thought as he swung down with a surprise hammer strike in the chest. Kaien was forced to take the hit, sending her to the floor Ichigo noticed that she deactivated Blut Arterie before the hit but she didn't activate Blut Vene.
"You have Blut Arterie but not Blut Vene?" Ichigo asked. Karin slowly stood back up.
"Ya. Yhwach doesn't know why but I'm can only use Blut Arterie. While Yuzu is the complete opposite, she can only use Blut Vene."
"Hm… maybe it's your nature." Ichigo theorized. Karen nodded her head.
"It does make sense." She said as she flinched from the pain.
"Karin, are you alright?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm fine," Karin lied.
"Karin. I know when you are lying." Ichigo said. Karin sighed as she lied down on the ground. Ichigo's hand began to glow green as he began to heal the bruise and restore her reiatsu.
"Her reiatsu levels are higher than before." Ichigo thought to heal her.
"This…this feels nice." Karin thought. Suddenly she began to blush as she realized how handsome Ichigo was. "No Karin! Bad thoughts!"
"I'm going to lie here for a bit."
"Very well," Ichigo said. "I'm going to take a shower," Ichigo said as he went upstairs. A few minutes later, Ichigo walked downstairs to the dinner table.
"Hello, Ichi-nii." Yuzu said as she placed a plate of food in front of him.
"Thank you, Yuzu," Ichigo said as he sat down at the table. On Ichigo's right side, sat Elizabeth and Moka eating breakfast. Ichigo started to eat his breakfast. Soon Karin came down and Yuzu handed her a plate of food and carried her plate of food to the dinner table. Everyone sat down and enjoyed their breakfast. Ichigo soon finished his breakfast. Ichigo stood up and walked over to the sink. Ichigo walked past the clock and noticed that the clock reads 7:30 in the morning. "Girls it's 7:30," Ichigo said; remembering that school starts at 8 sharp.
"Really!" The girls yelled as they began to eat faster. A few minutes later, Yuzu and Karin ran out of the house.
"Looks like it's time to return to Yōkai Academy," Ichigo said. Ichigo walked outside as he called for his car. Once it arrived everyone entered the car and Ichigo entered the Garganta.
Scene Change: Yōkai Academy
Ichigo drove out of the Garganta and stopped the car right in front of the Yōkai Academy gate. Many of the students looked curiously at Ichigo's car. Ichigo left the car and ran over to Moka's side. Ichigo opened the door for Moka.
"Thank you Ichigo," Moka said.
"You welcome Moka," Ichigo said and then kissed Moka on the lips. Elizabeth rolled down the window.
"Bye Kaa-san!" Elizabeth said. Everyone was shocked to see Moka, one of the hottest girls in school, with what appears to be a boyfriend or husband and a child. Ichigo ignored the looks as he walked back to the driver's side and drove off. Elizabeth did her best to continue to wave at Moka. Ichigo drove into a nearby forest near the staff dormitories. Ichigo parked the car. Ichigo and Elizabeth exited the car. Ichigo sent his car back to his mindscape.
"So… what are we going to do Tou-san?" Elizabeth asked.
"Well, I am planning to take you back to our room," Ichigo said.
"But Tou-san," Elizabeth replied. "I want to explore," Elizabeth said. Ichigo chuckled at Elizabeth's statement.
"I'll make you a deal," Ichigo said. "If you for every hour of study you do, we'll spend thirty minutes exploring the Academy." Ichigo offered.
"But that's not equal Tou-san," Elizabeth said. Before Ichigo could continue arguing with Elizabeth, Ichigo heard someone trying to contact him through the peerage link.
"Ichigo!" Someone said. Ichigo recognized who was calling him.
"Nel?" Ichigo replied.
"We need help here!" Nel said.
"I'm on my way!" Ichigo replied through the peerage link. Ichigo took a knee and looked at Elizabeth.
"Sorry Elizabeth, a friend of mine is in trouble. I need to go help her." Ichigo said as he gently pat her on her head.
"Am I coming to Tou-san?" Elizabeth asked.
"Sorry Elizabeth, not this time," Ichigo said as he stood up.
"Suzumebachi and Kyōka, can both of you come out here?" Ichigo asked. Suzumebachi and Kyōka appeared.
"Elizabeth, this is Suzumebachi and Kyōka, they will tutor you until I come back," Ichigo said.
"Hi," Elizabeth said.
"Hello Elizabeth," Kyōka replied.
"Hiya," Suzumebachi replied.
Ichigo shifted into his spirit form and summoned Kokugatsu. Ichigo ripped open a Garganta and jumped in it.
Scene Change: Hueco Mundo: Las Noches
Ichigo appeared to see that Las Noches has been rebuilt. Ichigo looked over to see a badly wounded Nel and Tier struggling against a male Arrancar. He has long, turquoise hair and yellow eyes. His Hollow mask is on his right cheek or upper jaw, and it goes around the back of his head and has a sort of crest. His Hollow hole is located below the base of his neck. He wears the basic Arrancar uniform, but with a belt worn just underneath his sash. On his back, he appears to have red reiatsu shaped wings.
"Say goodbye Queens of Hueco Mundo!" The being yelled as he fired a large cero. Ichigo shunpō'ed over grabbed Nel and Tier and dodged the attack. The man noticed Ichigo. "Who are you?" He asked. Ichigo ignored him as he gently lowered Nel and Tier.
"You two alright?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes," Tier said.
"Better now that you're here," Nel replied. Suddenly Ichigo was hit with a blast of reiatsu. Ichigo looked to see the man from early pointed his sword at Ichigo.
"Why are you here Shinigami!?" The man yelled.
"Because these two are my friends," Ichigo replied as he looked at the man. "Anyways, who are you?" Ichigo asked.
"My name is Plateado Arturo(1) and I am the new ruler of Hueco Mundo." Arturo declared.
"I see." Ichigo said. "My name is Kurosaki Ichigo and I am the true ruler of Hueco Mundo." Ichigo said.
"You, a Shinigami, ruling Hueco Mundo, the land of the Hollows…DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!" Arturo yelled at Ichigo's declaration.
"Who said that I was just a Shinigami?" Ichigo said as he raised Kokugatsu in front of him.
"Soy la furia que destruye el Cielo. [I am the fury that destroys Heaven.]" Ichigo said. Ichigo's hollow reiatsu began to gather and surround Ichigo. "Coráge la furia que destruyó los nueve círculos del infierno. [ I am the rage that destroyed the nine circles of Hell.]" Ichigo said as the hollow reiatsu began to form into a black and red pillar. "Yo soy el que se atreve a desafiar al destino. [I am the one who dares to challenge fate.]" Ichigo said as the hollow reiatsu began to form an egg around Ichigo. "Resurrección Luna Nueva! [Resurrection of the New Moon!]" Ichigo yelled. The hollow reiatsu egg burst to reveal a completely different Ichigo.
Ichigo kept his long straight hair. However, Ichigo's skin is now marble white. In the center of Ichigo's chest, there are what appear to be tribal markings stretching from the center of his chest to his shoulders. He has retractable claws on his fingertips and toes, small, furry red tufts, two starting from his collarbone and stretching around his neck and one each on his wrists and ankles, and white skin. Ichigo's mask covered his entire head, it has four spike-shaped marks, two of them stopping by the forehead and the other two stretching past the eyes and teeth, going past his chin and joining with the marks on his chest. Small marks are resembling a heart, but with the top and bottom open, extending from the inner corners of his eyes. The mask features two long forward-pointing horns, with black strips extending from their center towards the tips. Ichigo is now wearing only his Shihakushō pants. In his hands were two daitō. Both appeared to be about 75 inches (190.5 cm) and becomes more curved as it nears the tip, with three protrusions along the blunt end of the sword close to its tip. While retaining its manji-like shape, the tsuba becomes more curved and jagged. The only difference between the two was that the one in Ichigo's right hand is white and the one in his left hand is black. On his back, he has five pairs of large black angel-like wings (2).
"What… What are you?!" Arturo questioned.
"Your demise." Ichigo snarled as he charged towards Arturo with a downward slash with the black daitō. Arturo blocked Ichigo's attack by used his Zanpakutō to block the initial attack. But Arturo was hit when Ichigo changed grips with the white daitō and cut Arturo in the gut.
"Gah." Arturo cried as he sonído'ed away from Ichigo. "La Garra [Talon]!" Arturo cried as he swung downward and then upwards with his Zanpakutō. From his Zanpakutō, a fire wave was released and charged towards Ichigo. Ichigo took a deep breath and let out a menacing roar. The sound wave from the roar canceled out the fire wave and forced everyone to cover their ears. Ichigo stopped roaring and used this opportunity to sonído'ed to where Arturo was. Ichigo kicked Arturo down to the ground and pointed both daitō at him and began to glow black and white on their respective blades.
"Arturo, you have two options. Join me or die." Ichigo said.
"Not yet!" Arturo said as he points his finger at Ichigo. "Negación Ataque [Attack Negation]!" Arturo said. A small beam of hollow reiatsu shot out from Arturo's finger hit Ichigo. Ichigo immediately noticed something was off. Ichigo felt as if he was paralyzed. "Noticed it didn't you," Arturo said walked towards the paralyzed Ichigo. "This attack is based on the Negación that the Menos Grande uses. Instead of rescuing other Hollows or allies, this one temperately prevents the victim from moving by displacing them in a different dimension." Arturo explained as he walked closer to Ichigo. Arturo's green wings began to change color. The color is now a mix of red and violet. "Now then," Arturo said as he stopped. He raised his Zanpakutō which is surrounded by the same red and violet reiatsu. "Say good-bye!" Arturo yelled as he swung his Zanpakutō to Ichigo's neck.
"ICHIGO!" Tier and Nel cried as Arturo's blade hit Ichigo's neck and stopped.
"WHAT!" Arturo yelled; noticing that is attack stopped at Ichigo's neck.
"Look like that didn't work," Ichigo said as he swung his black daitō upwards and broke Arturo's Zanpakutō.
"What!" Arturo said, surprised to see Ichigo moving. Ichigo quickly kicked Arturo in the chest and forced him back a few feet.
"One more time," Ichigo said as he began to gather his reiatsu into his two daitō in his hand. "Do you submit or not?" Ichigo asked.
"I will never submit!" Arturo yelled out as he stuck out his hand began to charge a red Cero.
"Very well," Ichigo said as he brought his two daitō into a cross formation.
"Gran!" Arturo yelled as the red Cero began to turn purple and getting larger.
"Getsuga…" Ichigo yelled.
"Ray!" Arturo yelled.
"Jūji-" Ichigo yelled.
"Cero!" Arturo yelled as he fired the Gran Ray Cero at Ichigo.
"-Shō!" Ichigo yelled as he fired the Black and White Getsuga Jūjishō at Arturo. Ichigo looked to see the attacks pushing against each other.
"HA!" Arturo yelled. "Your final attack isn't strong enough to defeat my Gran Ray Cero!" Arturo yelled.
"Very well," Ichigo said as he stabbed both daitōs in the sand. Ichigo brought both of his hands and used his horns to prick his hand and rubbed them on his horns. Ichigo took a deep breath and began to gather his hollow reiatsu.
"What… are you doing?!" Arturo questioned. Ichigo ignored his question as he gathered his hollow reiatsu. On his horns, Ichigo began to form a black and red cero.
"Grand Ray Cero!" Ichigo yelled as he fired a massive black and red cero. The cero hit Ichigo's Getsuga Jūjishō and helped it destroy Arturo's Gran Ray Cero. The attack kicked up a lot of sand. Arturo couldn't see anything. Ichigo grabbed his two daitōs and sonído'ed behind Arturo.
"Goodbye," Ichigo said and cut Arturo's head off his body. Ichigo turned to see a large group of Hollows gathered around the fighting ground. Ichigo saw a lot of Adjuchas, a few Vasto Lorde and a couple of other Arrancars. "Do any of you wish to fight me?" Ichigo asked as he looked at the gathered crowd of hollows. One of the Arrancars stepped towards Ichigo. Ichigo got a good look at Arrancar. He has black hair and blue eyes. His face has a straight-line scar from cheek to cheek. His hair resembles a pair of small horns, and he has a van-dike beard and mustache. His Hollow mask consists of a small plate on his forehead that has horns, mirroring those in his hair. His Arrancar outfit is customized, with fringes on the forearm portion of the sleeves, a red sash tied at his waist, shoulder pads, and openings down the front which reveal his black undershirt.
"We meet again niño." The Arrancar said.
"It has been a long time Dordoni," Ichigo said; recognizing the Arrancar he fought when he invaded Las Noches.
"It has," Dordoni said as he took a knee and bowed towards Ichigo. The other hollows around Ichigo slowly began to imitate him.
"What is going on?" Ichigo asked.
"All of us sense your strength all over Hueco Mundo," Dordoni said. "Many Hollows are marching over to see your ascension to the throne," Dordoni explained. Ichigo looked towards Nel and Tier for assistance. However, Ichigo could see that Nel and Tier are on their knee and bowing towards Ichigo. Ichigo sighed in defeat.
"Very well," Ichigo said, accepting his fate. "Rise," Ichigo ordered. All the hollows slowly rose. "Now then, as my first command, I wish to know your opinion on a topic," Ichigo said as he raised his left hand. "Walk over here if you wish for peace with the Shinigami," Ichigo said as he raised his right hand. "Walk over here if you wish to fight the Shinigami or indecisive about the idea," Ichigo said. Many of the weaker Vasto Lorde, Adjuchas and a few Arrancars moved to the left side. Apacci and Sung-Sung helped Tier and Nel move to the left side. While many of the Arrancars walked over to Ichigo's right side. Ichigo walked over to the right side. "Can one of you explain your reason for war?" Ichigo asked. One of the Arrancars walked forward. This Arrancars is large with a dark brown body. He has a large blade roughly twice as large as its face extends from its forehead. The top of the blade contains two smaller blades. Its arms are thick and have three large blades instead of fingers, with two smaller blades on top of the middle ones (3).
"My name is Perforar [drill] and I desire revenge," Perforar said.
"Why?" Ichigo asked.
"Because they killed my friend," Perforar replied.
"Did your friend attack humans?" Ichigo asked.
"He did but only because he was hungry," Perforar argued back.
"Look Perforar, many of the humans in The World of the Living are defenseless against the hollows. The Shinigami are there to protect the powerless humans." Ichigo explained.
"What should we do then? Allow the Shinigami to kill all of us!?" Perforar yelled.
"No," Ichigo answered. "Although I cannot stop the Shinigami from protecting The World of the Living from the hollows, I can arrange it where no Shinigami can enter Hueco Mundo," Ichigo said.
"What?" Perforar said.
"I will make Hueco Mundo a land where only Hollows will roam free from the Shinigami," Ichigo said.
"How?" Perforar asked.
"Because I am the strongest Shinigami," Ichigo said as he deactivated his resurrección. Many of the hollows gasped in shock that their new king looked and dressed like a Shinigami.
"What does the Shinigami get in return?" Perforar asked.
"The Shinigami will no longer have any Hollows trying to enter Soul Society," Ichigo said.
"What about the hollows from The World of the Living?" Another Arrancar asked.
This Arrancar possesses a prominent domed, armor-like shell. The armor is pale beige in coloration with four large spines jutting out of the back. The armor is trimmed with red and green bands, with the green on the outermost edge. There is an additional spine protruding from the armor over each of its shoulders, which are connected by a green breastplate. Its body is colored similarly to the shell, and its long limbs and tail are banded with plates of armor. The top surfaces of the tail and arms are protected by green armor, and the arms have two small spines. It has three brown, clawed digits on its hands and feet. This Arrancar has fluffy white fur on its belly and fringing its face like a beard. It has a small, pink nose with a three-pointed patch of brown fur extending up its short snout. It also has four pointed teeth and a plate of beige armor atop its head, similar to a helmet (4).
"What is your name?" Ichigo asked.
"I am called the Guardian," Guardian replied.
"To answer your question, those hollows are either killed, managed to open a Garganta to Hueco Mundo or managed to get a Menos Grande to perform a Negación," Ichigo answered.
"I see," Guardian said. "Good answer." All of the Arrancars accepted Ichigo's answers and moved over to the left side.
"Now then, Tier and Nel," Ichigo said as he looked at them. "Please find the strongest ones from this crowd and take them to the throne room," Ichigo said.
"Very well," Tier said. With that, Ichigo opened up a Garganta and jumped in.
Scene Change: Ukitake's office
Ukitake-taichō sat alone in his office. He was reading a letter.
"Hm. About time Abarai-kun proposed to Rukia." He thought were interrupted when a Garganta suddenly opened in his office. He dropped the letter as he jumped out of his chair. His hand quickly drew his Zanpakutō and pointed it at the Garganta. He stood, ready to attack the hollow that would come out. Instead of a hollow, it was Ichigo casually walked out of the Garganta.
"What was my deepest kept secret?" Ukitake questioned; continuing to point his Zanpakutō at Ichigo.
"When you were a child, you had developed a fatal lung disease. In a last-ditch effort, you managed to summon Mimihagi who resided in your body until I reclaimed him and forced Urahara to use his Bankai to surgically give you a lung." Ichigo answered. Ukitake sighed in relief as he sheathed his Zanpakutō and fell into his chair.
"Hello, Ichigo-sama. What can I do for you? Ukitake asked.
"Hello, Ukitake-taichō. Are you busy right now?" Ichigo asked.
"Not really." Ukitake replied.
"Good because I want you to read and sign this peace treaty with the Hollows," Ichigo said as he handed the treaty to Ukitake. Ukitake took the contract and began to read it line by line.
"This contract is surprisingly fair for both sides." Ukitake commented as soon as he finished reading the contract.
"It took a while for the various hollows to agree with me," Ichigo commented.
"Wait…you wrote this?" Ukitake asked.
"I did. The new King of the Hollows is an ally of mine." Ichigo said.
"This isn't something I can simply sign by myself. I will need the rest of the Taichōs to agree with this." Ukitake said.
"I am aware of this," Ichigo replied. "If the other Taichō asked, please don't mention that I was the one who helped with the treaty. I want them to decide for themselves if they want it or not." Ukitake nodded his head; understanding Ichigo's reasoning.
"What if they ask how I received it?" Ukitake asked.
"Tell them that an envoy of the King of Hollows, who is a Hollow I knew, approached me and asked me to do this."
"Very well." Ukitake said as he summoned thirteen Hell Butterflies and sent them to the other Taichōs.
"And if they ask for a name to this King of Hollows?" Ukitake asked.
"His name is Luna Asesina [Slaying Moon]," Ichigo said. Ukitake nodded his head as he shunpō'ed to the Assembly Hall.
Scene Change: Assembly Hall
Ukitake arrived at the Taichōs' Assembly Hall. He found his seat and sat down. A few minutes later, all the other Taichōs arrived at the Hall and took their seat and waited. Yamamoto-Sōtaichō arrived and sat down. He looked at Ukitake.
"Ukitake-taichō, you had requested our presents for an emergency meeting. Please stand up and explain your reason for calling this meeting." Yamamoto-Sōtaichō said. Ukitake stood up and looked at the seated Taichōs who stared back at him.
"A few minutes ago, an envoy from the new King of Hollows approached me with a peace treaty." Ukitake said as he took out the peace treaty.
"How did an envoy managed to deliver it to you when you were in your office?" Yoruichi asked.
"Because Ichigo delivered it to me." Ukitake replied. "The treaty has a few terms on both sides. For our benefit, no Hollow will enter Soul Society unless that Hollow is a messenger for the King of Hollows. In return, no Shinigami will enter Hueco Mundo unless that Shinigami is a messenger for the Gotei 14." Ukitake said.
"What happens to those who break this term?" Toshiro asked.
"To those who break these terms, whether a hollow enters Soul Society or a Shinigami enter Hueco Mundo will be detained if possible and sent back to their respective home." Ukitake said.
"What if the hollows show resistance?" Kensei asked.
"If the being in question shows any resistance of being arrested, then you can kill the being in question." Ukitake said, answering Kensei's question.
"What about in The World of the Living?" Lisa asked.
"If a hollow appears in The World of the Living and it is causing trouble then we can kill it. But if it is just wandering and not harming anything then you will inform the Thirteenth Division and contact the King of Hollows to escort that Hollow to Hueco Mundo." Ukitake said.
"Does the treaty state that?" Urahara asked.
"Surprisingly it does." Ukitake answered.
"This new King of Hollows seems very intelligent," Genryusai commented. "Ukitake-taichō, what is this King of Hollow's name?" Genryusai asked.
"He calls himself Luna Asesina." Ukitake said. Urahara smirked. Yoruichi looked at Urahara. He discreetly blinked once with his right eye and then five times with his left eye. Yoruichi quickly realized what Urahara said. She replied with a subtle nodded.
"I think we need to vote on this," Genryusai said. "Due to the nature of this topic, I believe everyone must agree to the treaty," Genryusai said. "All in favor of the treaty," Genryusai said. Everyone except Kenpachi raised their hand.
"Kenpachi-Taichō, you didn't vote… why?" Genryusai asked.
"Because old man, things have been too peaceful here. I kind of want to fight this new 'King of Hollows' to see if he is the real deal." Kenpachi said.
"Is there anything you want to convince you to vote for the treaty?" Ukitake asked.
"I want to meet this 'King of Hollows'," Kenpachi said. Some of the other Taichōs nodded in agreement.
"Very well. I'll inform Ichigo." Ukitake said. "Permission to leave to get the 'King of Hollows'."
"Granted," Genryusai said. Ukitake shunpō'ed to his office to see Ichigo reading a book.
"So… what happened?" Ichigo asked.
"Kenpachi-Taichō wants to fight the 'King of Hollows'."
"Of course, he would want to fight him." Ichigo sighed as he sent his book back to his mindscape.
"Give me one second," Ichigo said as he opened a Garganta and jumped in. Ichigo waited a few minutes before he returned to Ukitake's office in his Resurrección form.
"Show me the way." Luna Asesina growled.
"Very well." Ukitake said; trying to hide his fear at how intimidating Luna Asesina looked. Ukitake shunpō'ed to the captain meeting. While Luna Asesina used sonído to follow Ukitake.
"Luckily none of the captains have scene my Resurrección." Luna Asesina thought. They soon arrived at the meeting room.
"You wish to speak to me?" Luna Asesina growled.
"I do! I want to fight you!" Kenpachi yelled.
"No." Luna Asesina replied. "I do not wish to fight. I want to bring peace to Soul Society and Hueco Mundo."
"I'm not voting till I get my fight," Kenpachi said.
"Very well. Yamamoto-Sōtaichō, is there a place we can fight?" Luna Asesina asked.
"There is in Muken," Genryusai said. With that, everyone relocated to Muken. Luna Asesina pointed his blades at Kenpachi.
"This is your last chance; do you wish to fight me." Luna Asesina threaten.
"YES!" Kenpachi yelled. He ripped off his eyepatch as he charged towards Luna Asesina. Luna Asesina sighed. With one swing of Black Tensa, Kenpachi was knocked back by the attack. He jumped up. Everyone saw a giant gash from his chest. He looked down to see the large slash on his chest.
"He was able to easily cut through Kenpachi's reiatsu and damage him directly." Urahara thought.
"To see Ichigo's hollow powers reached these heights." Yoruichi glanced at the Vizards. "How strong will they be if they achieved Resurrección?"
"IMPRESSIVE!" Kenpachi yelled as he coated his blade with his blood. "Drink Nozarashi!" Kenpachi yelled as he was surrounded by his eerie yellow reiatsu. The reiatsu died down to see a Kenpachi holding a great ax/war cleaver hybrid with a long, cloth-wrapped handle and a green tassel attached to the top.
"He managed to achieve Shikai?" Luna Asesina thought.
"TAKE THIS!" Kenpachi yelled as he swung Nozarashi at Luna Asesina. Ichigo blocked Nozarashi with his black Tensa.
"Cero," Ichigo said as he fired a white cero from white Tensa. Kenpachi used Nozarashi to block the white cero. "Cero Galaxia [Zero Galaxy]!" Ichigo yelled. Ichigo began to rapid-fire black and white ceros from his twin daitō.
"RAH!" Kenpachi yelled as he charged towards Luna Asesina. He used Nozarashi to block as many of the ceros he could. Despite being hit by a few of them, he continued to charge at Luna Asesina.
"Eat this!" Kenpachi swung Nozarashi at Luna Asesina. Ichigo dodged Kenpachi's swing. Luna Asesina sonído'ed right next to Kenpachi and fired a pair of ceros point-blank at Kenpachi's chest. The blast knocked Kenpachi a few feet back on his face.
"Had enough yet?" Luna Asesina asked. Kenpachi to get up.
"NOT YET!" Kenpachi slowly rose his yellow reiatsu gathered around him as he stood up. "I STILL GOT SOME IN ME!"
"Enough," Genryusai said. "Unohana-Taichō, please get Kenpachi-Taichō to Fourth Division."
"Yes Sōtaichō." Unohana said.
"BANKAI!" Kenpachi yelled. A large explosion of red reiatsu surrounded Kenpachi. The dust settled to see Kenpachi was different. Kenpachi's skin turned red, and he gains multiple black markings across his face and horns on his forehead. In his right hand, Nozarashi became shorter, more jagged blade resembling a rough cleaver.
"RAH!" Kenpachi yelled as he charged at Luna Asesina. He swung his sword at Luna Asesina. He sonído away from Kenpachi's attack. The sword slammed into the ground, shaking Muken. Everyone's eyes widen in shock by the act of power. Kenpachi pulled his sword out of the ground.
"RAH!" He yelled as he slowly turned around. He moved his head around, trying to find Luna Asesina.
"Is he blind?" Luna Asesina thought.
"Kenpachi-taichō! This is enough!" Genryusai yelled. Kenpachi yelled as charged at him. Only for Luna Asesina to sonído in his way. Luna Asesina fired a silent Getsuga Jūjishō at Kenpachi's chest. The attack pushed Kenpachi a few feet away.
"RAH!" Kenpachi yelled as she charged at Luna Asesina.
"He will be severely punished for this," Genryusai said.
"I don't think Kenpachi is completely aware of what is going on," Shinji said. Genryusai turned to Shinji.
"What do you mean?"
"What Shinji means is that Kenpachi is currently acting on instincts," Lisa said. They looked back to see Kenpachi isn't dodging any of Luna Asesina's ceros. He would either take the hit or cut the cero with Nozarashi.
"What should I do?" Luna Asesina thought as his attacks surprisingly didn't do too much damage to Kenpachi.
"Fuck the secrecy and go all out," Zangetsu suggested.
"I agree," Yhwach said. "It looks like Kenpachi isn't going to stop unless we overpower his Bankai's defenses."
"Very well." Luna Asesina said as he began to fill both of his Tensa with his reiatsu. He sonído right next to Kenpachi.
"GETSUGA JŪJISHŌ!" Luna Asesina yelled as he fired his attack point black at Kenpachi's chest. There was a large explosion of black and white reiatsu as Kenpachi was sent flying in the air.
"Getsuga Jūjishō? Isn't that one of Ichigo's attacks?" The taichō who didn't realize Ichigo was Luna Asesina thought. Luna Asesina sonído above the flying Kenpachi.
"GETSUGA JŪJISHŌ!" There was another large explosion of black and white reiatsu as Kenpachi was slammed back into the ground. His Bankai finally canceled out. Kenpachi was unconscious and bleeding everywhere.
"Unohana-taichō, please get Kenpachi-taichō to the Fourth Division," Genryusai ordered.
"Yes Sōtaichō," Unohana said as she gently picked Kenpachi up from his crater. Luna Asesina sonído right next to the Taichō.
"I believe the motion passed." Luna Asesina asked.
"Indeed Ichigo." Genryusai said. Luna Asesina left his Resurrección form.
"Man Ichigo, that's your Resurrección?" Shinji asked.
"Indeed," Ichigo said.
"Why was that necessary? You could have simply forced us to respect the treaty." Kensei said.
"That's because I don't want to force you to obey laws that you don't agree with," Ichigo replied. Genryusai pulled out the treaty and signed it. The treaty was passed around to each Taichō to sign; except for Kenpachi and Unohana. Once the treaty reached back to Ukitake, he passed the treaty to Ichigo who signed it. Ukitake used a kidō to create a copy of the treaty. Ukitake gave Ichigo the original while he kept the copy.
"Thank you. See you guys later." Ichigo said as he opened a Garganta and left.
"Ichigo is stupidly powerful," Toshiro said. His fellow Taichō nodded their heads and left Muken.
Scene Change: Hueco Mundo: Throne Room
Ichigo jumped out of the Garganta to see a long table. Ichigo looked to see that on one side is all the hollows Tier and Nel chosen. Ichigo recognized Perforar and Guardian from earlier. On the other side, Tier and Nel are sitting down on the right side of the table, leaving the middle seat open. Ichigo walked over to the open middle chair and sat down. Ichigo looked at the various hollows that Tier and Nel selected.
"Good to meet all of you. Let's get this started." Ichigo said as he got out of his Resurrección form. "Each of you introduces yourself to me."
"I'm Touya Huracán.". He said. He appears to be 177 cm (5'10") with Hazel eyes and short seafoam green hair. His neck appears to be reptilian. The rest of his body is pale white. His arms and leg are very muscular. He is wearing a white mask covering his mouth and nose. He is wearing a white shirt with some sort of person in a color suit. He has on a brown leather jacket with white fingerless gloves. He has what looks like black jean and black combat boots. His Zanpakutō is tied to the waist.
"I'm Mira Tormenta." She said. She appears to be 180 cm (5'11") with rich mocha skin. She had dark gray hair that is in a warrior braid. She has dark blue eyes and a mole under her left eye. Her arms and legs are slender with large D-Cup breasts. She has her hollow fragment is a bone crown on her forehead. It appears as a stylized white fleur-de-lis with a cross-section (5). Around her neck is a silver locket. She has on a tight black V-neck shirt, gray open short sleeve jacket, black fingered white gloves, tight gray pants, black socks, and black boots. She has her sword tied to her back. She noticed that the person next to her was sleep. She gently shook him. It took a few seconds before he woke up and realized it was his turn.
"I am Marik Muyomori." He yawned. He stands approximately 188 cm (6'2") with tan skin and medium length spiky dark orange hair. His eyes are sky blue. His arms and legs are muscular. He has a white tiger tattoo on his left side. His hollow fragment is attached to his side of his face. They appear to be tiger teeth. He has on a teal T-shirt under a long sleeve black jacket, dark blue denim jeans, brown leather belt, black socks, brown running shoes, metal tiger fang earrings & brown fingerless gloves.
"Please call me Luna." She said. She appears to be 160 cm (5'3") with a slightly dark pale skin. Her eyes are bright blue. She has a dark shade of indigo and blue hair. She had a unicorn horn of the same color. She is wearing an indigo Victorian dress that matches the night sky. On her neck, it appears to have a necklace with the same matching colors (6).
"Call me Morgan." She said as she blew a kiss at Ichigo. She appears to be 172 cm (5'8") with lightly tanned skin, a very light green hair and appears to be wearing a dark purple bat-shaped hairband. She has a matching light green eye. He is wearing something like a hybrid of a one-piece swimsuit and some light purple yoga pants. Right below her breasts, there is a heart cut out. While on her plants there are darker purple bats that decorate her pants. She is wearing a dark purple boot that covers her ankles (7).
"I'm Mio." She said quietly. She stands at 152 cm (5'), she shortest of the new Espada. She has straight, long, black hair and gray-blue eyes. She is wearing a dress made out of a faded cloak. Ichigo could see her arms appear to be bone white with what appears to scale. Which she immediately tried to hid when she noticed Ichigo looking at her.
"Yo. I'm llamarada [Flare]." llamarada said with his arms crossed. llamarada is very tall, standing at 190 cm (6' 3") and muscular. Due to his height, he unconsciously giving off an overwhelming aura. He has two-toned dark red and black hair and red eyes. His eyes are pointed and narrow and his eyebrows are quite thick and split in two. He is wearing a red and black blazer jacket. Underneath that he is wearing a plain white T-Shirt. He has matching black jeans and basketball shoes.
"Alright then. To those you don't know this is Tier Harribel and Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck." They are part of my fracción." Ichigo said. "They will be both representing me when I am not in Hueco Mundo." The Espada nodded in understanding. Now then, I am going to touch each of you and gauge your power level compared to mine." Ichigo got up and slowly placed his hand on each Espada member. Eventually, Ichigo sat back down. "Now then, from the lowest to highest. I want you to think of a location you want your number." Ichigo instructed.
"Noveno [9th] is Guardian," Ichigo announced. He nodded as the number 9 appeared on his face. The circle of the nine appeared outside of his eye. The rest of the nine ended right next to his mouth.
"Octava [8th] is Luna."The second shortest Espada nodded as the number 8 appeared on her mid-back.
"Séptima [7th] is Perforar." The bold Espada flexed his right bicep as the number 7 appeared.
"Sexta [6th] is Mio." The shortest Espada nodded as the number 6 located itself on the backside of her left hand.
"Quinto [5th] is Ilamarada. "What!" He shouted as the number 5 appeared on his left bicep.
"Cuatro [4th] is Morgan." The naughty Espada winked at Ichigo as the number 4 located itself on her right side of her lower back.
"Tres [3rd] is Touya." The masked Espada nodded as the number located itself on his tongue.
"Segunda [2nd] is Mira." The dark-skinned Espada clapped in joy as the number 2 appeared itself on her right side of her left breast
"Primera [1st] is Marik." The tired Espada slowly raised his arm in joy as the number 1 appeared itself on his right pectoral muscle.
"And I am the Cero [Zero]," Ichigo said as the number Zero appeared on his right shoulder. "Now then, I'm going to give you guys free rein to choose what you are going to do to Las Noches since all eleven of you going to live here," Ichigo said. All the Espada accepted Ichigo's decision and the meeting was adjourned. Ichigo turned to Tier and Nel. He noticed Nel was holding a small bundle. "Nel… who is that?"
"I founded her while we were looking through the hollows," Nel answered.
"Hello dear, what's your name?" Ichigo asked.
"Our name is Jack," Jack replied. Ichigo could see a little girl, about 134 cm (4'5"). She has short silver hair. Ichigo could see her eyes is a pale yellow. Her face is covered with scars and stitches. She is wrapped in brown rags. Ichigo could see that near her back she has a small dagger-like Zanpakutō tied to her lower back. "Who are you?" Jack asked.
"I'm Ichigo, their..."
"Master," Nel answered.
"Ok Mother," Jack said as she looked at Nel.
"Call me if you or the Espada need anything," Ichigo said as he opened a Garganta and jumped in it.
Scene Change: Yōkai Academy
During the few hours that Ichigo was gone, Kyōka and Suzumebachi took turns teaching Elizabeth. Kyōka would take care of the school topics such as Japanese, Math, English and Yōki control. While Suzumebachi would take care of the physical topics such as basic fighting styles and basic physical exercises. Kyōka and Suzumebachi were aware that these subjects may seem boring to Elizabeth so every time Elizabeth would get one of their tests correct, they would tell stories of Ichigo's adventures or show memories of Ichigo's adventures if it was not too graphic. Ichigo jumped out of the Garganta to see Kyōka showing Elizabeth his time during the Battle City Finals.
"Now then, Dark Paladin attack Ichigo's Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Yugi ordered. Dark Paladin charged towards Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. While Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon charged up its attack and fired it back at Dark Paladin. Upon contact, both attacks kicked up dust; obscuring the view. "I've won!" Yugi said.
"Yugi. Don't think so yet." Ichigo said. Yugi looked up to see Dark Paladin being forced to block Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's claws with his sword.
"What!?" Yugi said.
"I activate the effect of Honest," Ichigo said as a transparent white angel looking monster card appeared next to Ichigo. "During either player's Damage Step, when a LIGHT monster I control battles: I can send this card from my hand to the Graveyard; that monster gains ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling, until the end of this turn," Ichigo said. The transparent white angel floated towards Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and merged with it. Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon let out a mighty roar as its attack points rose from 4500 to 12400.
"What!" Yugi said.
"Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon finish this duel with White Obliteration Burst!" Ichigo shouted as Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon managed to smack Dark Paladin away with his claws before using all three heads to fire a large blast of white energy at Dark Paladin. Dark Paladin stood there and accepted his fate. The blast incinerated Dark Paladin and Yugi's remaining life points.
"Wow. Tou-san is amazing." Elizabeth said.
"Thank you Elizabeth," Ichigo said as he walked out of the Garganta.
"Tou-san!" Elizabeth cried as she ran over to Ichigo.
"Hello, Elizabeth, did you have fun with Kyōka and Suzumebachi?" Ichigo asked.
"Kyōka-sensei and Suzumebachi-sensei taught me so much!" Elizabeth said happily.
"Great," Ichigo said. Ichigo looked at his watch and realized that it was almost time to go to the Yuki-onna's village. "Elizabeth," Ichigo called out.
"Yes, Tou-san?" Elizabeth replied.
"I will be leaving with your mother on a trip tonight. Do you want to come?" Ichigo asked.
"What about Kyōka-sensei and Suzumebachi-sensei?" Elizabeth asked.
"They will go wherever you go," Ichigo replied.
"I want to come too," Elizabeth answered.
"Very well," Ichigo said as he began packing some clothes for Elizabeth and Moka. Once that was done, Ichigo and Elizabeth walked out of their room. Every couple of steps, Elizabeth would ask a question whether it was about a memory Kyōka brought up or something she saw on the way to the bus loop. Ichigo and Elizabeth arrived to see the Newspaper Club just arrived as well. Elizabeth ran over to Moka.
"Kaa-san!" Elizabeth yelled as she ran and hug Moka.
"Hello, Elizabeth-chan. How was your day?" Moka asked.
"It was fun. Tou-san had to leave for some business, so he got Kyōka-sensei and Suzumebachi-sensei to teach me while he was gone." Elizabeth answered.
"I see," Moka said as she subtle looked at Ichigo. Before she could ask Ichigo about his day, everyone heard a loud honk. They turned to see the yellow school bus driving towards them. The school bus slowed down and stopped right in front of the Newspaper Club. The doors opened up to see the Bus Driver once again.
"Good day everyone. Ready to do go on another adventure?" Nurari asked.
"Ya!" Elizabeth cried out. Ichigo and Moka chuckled at Elizabeth's answer. Everyone boarded the bus. Ichigo, Moka, Elizabeth, and Kokoa sat in the front of the bus. While the rest of the Newspaper Club sat in the back.
"Sorry for making you choose between me and your friends," Ichigo whispered.
"Ichigo, don't worry about it," Moka replied.
"If you say so," Ichigo said.
Scene Change: Yuki-Onna Village
The bus drove out of the tunnel into a blizzard. The bus driver stopped the bus in the middle of nowhere.
"This is your stop," Nurari announced.
"WHAT!" Kurumu yelled. Nurari ignored her outburst as he opened the doors. Ichigo, Moka, Elizabeth, and Kokoa walked out of the bus first.
"Tou-san it's cold," Elizabeth commented.
"Stay close to me," Ichigo said as he activated Schrift I: The Ignatius. Ichigo channeled his reiatsu around the group of four to keep them warm. Tsukune and his group were ignorant of this trick.
"The weathers cool isn't it?" Mizore asked.
"Cool?!" Kurumu said. "We're gonna freeze to death!" Kurumu yelled.
"It's ok…Once we get to my home the wind will stop and the temperature will ease up." Mizore said as she began to walk. "It's this way. Stick close so you don't get separated."Mizore told the group. As they were walking, Ichigo decided to see if Shirayuki wanted to join their little hike.
"Shirayuki do you want to come out?" Ichigo asked.
"Sure,"Shirayuki replied as she appeared. Shirayuki's manifested spirit takes the form of a pale-skinned young woman with icy blue eyes. She has long, pale lavender hair that falls behind her shoulders while a strand falls between her eyes and is parted on the left side of her head by a blue, star-shaped hair clip. She wears a white kimono with large sleeves and a long hem and has a pale yellow-green obi wrapped around her waist which is attached to a large, pale purple bow on her back.
"Hello Great Ancestor," Mizore said.
"Ancestor!?" The Newspaper said in surprise.
"Hello my descendent," Shirayuki replied. Eventually, the wind died down and they could see a magnificent ice village.
"Like mother and daughters." Ichigo joked. Shirayuki hit Ichigo on the arm.
"AMAZING!" All the Newspaper Club members said.
"Welcome. I've been waiting for you." Tsurara said as she greeted the group.
"Ah! Mizore-san's Kaa-san." Tsukune said.
"It's Tsurara," Tsurara said. "We haven't met since that school event hasn't we Tsukune-san," Tsurara said. She then looked at Ichigo and Shirayuki.
"Welcome Great Ancestor," Tsurara said with a ninety-degree bow. Ichigo and Shirayuki bowed in return.
"My name is Ichigo and she goes by Shirayuki," Ichigo explained.
"I see," Tsurara said as she led everyone inside her home. Inside the house was an entire table decked out with food. "I heard from Mizore that all of you came right after school, so I decided to make you some food," Tsurara explained. With that everyone sat down and began to eat the meal.
"Ichigo-sama." Tsurara said.
"Call me Ichigo. No honorifics." Ichigo requested.
"Very well Ichigo," Tsurara replied. "Anyways, The Snow Priestess wishes to meet you two after this meal," Tsurara said.
"Who is this Snow Priestess?" Shirayuki asked.
"Great Ancestor, the Snow Priestess is the ruler and elder of the village," Tsurara explained.
"I see," Shirayuki said. Everyone soon finished their meal. With that Tsurara escorted Ichigo and Shirayuki to the Snow Priestess's shrine. They climbed a long set of stairs.
"Sorry but I cannot go further," Tsurara said.
"Very well," Shirayuki said.
"Thank you, Tsurara-san," Ichigo said. Tsurara turned around and walked out. Ichigo and Shirayuki walked in to see a woman sitting on a throne made of ice. She is a youthful woman with blue-purple eyes, purple silver hair which decorated with large headpieces. She wears a white kimono with a purple obi sash and tabi socks with black zōri sandals. A few feet away it appears to be a girl on the ground. It took Ichigo and Shirayuki a few seconds before they recognized who it was.
"Mizore," Ichigo said as he ran over to her.
"Ichigo?" Mizore said. She then looked at The Snow Priestess.
"Where am I?" Mizore asked.
"Welcome to my shrine. I am The Snow Priestess who rules this land." The Snow Priestess said.
"Why was I taken here?" Mizore asked. "If you hadn't interrupted by now Tsukune and I would be…" Mizore said.
"No. I am a prophet, who can see the future." The Snow Priestess said. "You and that boy named Tsukune are destined to never be bound to one another." The Snow Priestess said. Ichigo hearing this began to laugh.
"Who are you?" The Snow Priestess asked.
"I am Kurosaki Ichigo, and this is Shirayuki," Ichigo said.
"Welcome Great Ancestor." The Snow Priestess said to Shirayuki. She then looked at Ichigo. "What gives you the right to disrespect me?" The Snow Priestess asked.
"Personal reasons," Ichigo said. "Anyways what gives you the right to order Mizore to not follow her hearts?" Ichigo asked. Before the Snow Priestess could reply everyone could hear footsteps.
"I was wondering what was going on at this time of night." A man said leaning on an ice pillar. "The woman who will be my wife has she appeared."
"What!?" Mizore asked in confusion.
"I will introduce you. This is Fujisaki-san, an executive from an organization in the human world." The Snow Priestess said. "Listen to me. This is the one who you are meant to be bound to. By marring this man, you will be destined to become the savior of this dying land." The Snow Priestess said.
"Hello, my name is Miyabi Fujisaki. Pleased to meet you my girl of destiny." Fujisaki said.
"Tell me Miyabi Fujisaki, what organization are you from? Ichigo asked. "It doesn't happen to be an organization called Fairy Tale is it," Ichigo asked. Fujisaki flinched for a few seconds.
"Oh. You have heard of us?" Fujisaki asked.
"Oh, I have," Ichigo said as he summoned a sealed scroll. "And so, does Yasaka-hime," Ichigo said as he broke the seal on the scroll. "By the orders, Yasaka, The Ruler of the Yōkai of Japan, had decreed that the organization known as Fairy Tale is considered a terrorist organization. Anyone who is a member or an associated with this organization will be arrested on site and accused of attempting to reveal the existence of the Yōkai world." Ichigo read as he rolled up the scroll. "Miyabi Fujisaki you are under arrest for associating with a named terrorist organization." Ichigo declared.
"Very well," Fujisaki said. "Looks like I have no choice," Fujisaki said. "Kahlua," Fujisaki said. Someone walked out from behind Fujisaki. She has light blond hair, tan skin, and dark red eyes. She has long blond hair that is held back by a tiara and is wavy with bangs framing her forehead. She dresses in a flowing white dress with snow-white gloves and white boots. On her ears, she has rosary-shaped earrings.
"Yes Fujisaki-san?" Kahlua said.
"Kill these two," Fujisaki said as he pointed at Ichigo and Shirayuki. "And bring her to me," Fujisaki said as he pointed at Mizore.
"Very well." Kahlua sighed.
"Shirayuki take care of the Snow Priestess," Ichigo said.
"Very well," Shirayuki replied as she moved away from Ichigo to Mizore.
"Please leave," Kahlua begged.
"Sorry but I can't," Ichigo replied.
"Kahlua, remove your limiter. Your task is to kill everyone and bring me the girl." Fujisaki said. Kahlua eyes began to water.
"Very well." She said as she grabbed her right earring and pulled it off. Kalua's right arm transformed into five razor-sharp bat wings claws.
"Looks like I need to get serious," Ichigo said as summoned Suzumebachi's sealed butterfly swords. "Sting all Enemies to Death… Suzumebachi." Ichigo said. Suzumebachi's sealed blade began to glow golden. The glow grew brighter and covered both Ichigo's hands. The golden glow died down to reveal Suzumebachi's released state. Ichigo got into fighting stands with the stingers hidden. Kahlua charged at Ichigo and swung with her right arm. Ichigo dodged her attack. Ichigo noticed that she was crying tears. She turned to Ichigo and once again tried to attack him. Ichigo dodged the attack again. Ichigo seeing an opening revealed the stinger and inject her with the venom.
"GAH!" Kahlua cried out as the venom's effect began to paralyze her body. Ichigo pulled out her right earring and place it back on. Immediately her five razor-sharp bat wings claws transformed back to her right hand.
"You're one of Moka's sisters aren't you." Ichigo guessed.
"How do you know?" Kahlua asked.
"Because I have seen her do something similar," Ichigo said; remembering what Kyōka saw during Moka's training.
"What's your relation to her?" Kahlua asked.
"Do you know your niece Elizabeth?" Ichigo asked.
"I do!" Kahlua said. "She is so adorable and cute," Kahlua said.
"She's my daughter," Ichigo said.
"Really?" Kahlua said in surprise.
"She is," Ichigo said. "Kahlua, why are you working for Fairy Tale?" Ichigo asked.
"Why are you asking?" Kahlua asked.
"Because I can tell that you don't like to fight," Ichigo said.
"I… I just want to help," Kahlua said.
"Help?" Ichigo asked.
"I just wanted to help my family," Kahlua said. Ichigo motioned her to continue. "You see, I always liked helping my family. But many of them didn't need or wanted my help. Due to this, I entered a depressing phase. But then my mother needed help with Fairy Tale. She asked me for help. With that simple request helped me feel happy. Whenever I finished one of her tasks, she would thank me. This made me feel happy that I managed to help her." Kahlua said.
"Even if she asked you to assassinate people?" Ichigo said. Kahlua sighed.
"Even that," Kahlua replied.
"Don't you see that your mother is using you as a tool for Fairy Tale?" Ichigo said.
"It doesn't matter. It only matters that my mother needs my help." Kahlua said.
"Does she even show appreciation of your efforts?" Ichigo asked.
"She does," Kahlua said.
"Really?" Ichigo asked. Kahlua flinched and looked away. "Stop lying to yourself," Ichigo said.
"Even if I want to leave her, what's stopping her from hunting me down?" Kahlua asked.
"Me," Ichigo said.
"What can you do? Not many Yōkai can defeat my mother." Kahlua said.
"Can your father beat your mother?" Ichigo asked.
"Sure he can. That's how he won the right to be her husband." Kahlua said. Ichigo smiled.
"Good that means I can easily defeat her," Ichigo said.
"What!" Kahlua yelled.
"Two days ago, I went over to the Shuzen Estate and beat Issa to a pulp even in his released state," Ichigo said.
"Really?" Kahlua said.
"You can ask Moka, Elizabeth or Kokoa. All three of them saw it." Ichigo said.
"When I see Moka and Kokoa and they both tell me the truth then I will trust you," Kahlua said.
"That's fine," Ichigo said. "Suzumebachi, how long does the venom last?" Ichigo asked.
"The venom wears off in twenty-four hours by itself or you inject the anti-venom for instant recovery," Suzumebachi said.
"You have anti-venom?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes, I do. The Anti-venom is in the thumb stingers." Suzumebachi said.
"Thanks," Ichigo said as he walked over to see some crazy stuff going on the other side of the area.
Scene Change: Shirayuki VS Snow Priestess
Shirayuki and the Snow Priestess stared at each other for a few moments.
"Looks like I need to get involved." The Snow Priestess said as she stood up.
"Very well," Shirayuki said as she summoned her sealed form. The Snow Priestess created ice daggers and threw them at Shirayuki. Shirayuki walked towards the Snow Priestess; blocking all the ice daggers with her blade.
"Try this!" The Snow Priestess yelled. She stomped her feet down and eight large ice icicles shot down and surrounded Shirayuki. The Snow Priestess snapped her fingers and the large icicles transformed into mirror images of The Snow Priestess. These Ice Dolls charged towards Shirayuki. Ice Doll #1 and Ice Doll #2 have scythe shaped hands. While Ice Doll #3 and Ice Doll #4 have club-shaped hands. Doll #5 and Ice Doll #6 have giant bear claw-shaped hands. Finally, Doll #7 and Ice Doll #8 have ice shaped cannons for hands. Shirayuki sighed.
"Sode no mai," Shirayuki said as her sealed blade entered its Shikai form. Doll #7 and Ice Doll #8 fired compressed ice shaped cannonballs at Shirayuki. She used her blade to cut each of the ice cannonballs. "Shirafune," Shirayuki said as she stabbed the blade forward. The blade extended and pierced Doll #7 and Ice Doll #8 in the chest. Shirayuki broke the extended blade to blocked Ice Doll #1's scythe. Suddenly Ice Doll #1 was hit in the head by an ice cannonball. Shirayuki looked to see Doll #7 and Ice Doll #8 shooting ice cannonballs at the other Ice Dolls.
"What the?" Shirayuki thought. She noticed that Doll #7's and Ice Doll #8's chest wound is covered by a snowflake. Shirayuki ignored it as she cut the heads off Ice Doll #1 and Ice Doll #2. Suddenly Shirayuki had to dodge an ice cannonball. She looked to see Ice Doll #7 and Ice Doll #8 was against Ice Doll #3 and Ice Doll #4. The cannonballs Ice Doll #7 and Ice Doll #8 shot were reflected by Ice Doll #3 and Ice Doll #4. It was like watching baseball practice. Shirayuki noticed that Ice Doll #3 and Ice Doll #4 were distracted by Ice Doll #7 and Ice Doll #8. Shirayuki shunpō'ed behind Ice Doll #3 and Ice Doll #4 and cut both of their heads off. She looked over to Ice Doll #7 and Ice Doll #8 to see both crushed by Doll #5's and Ice Doll #6's ice claws. "Juhaku!" Shirayuki cried out as she stabbed her blade on the ground. From her blade the ground noticeably shakes, long and narrow ice stalagmite, each several meters in length, began to sprout up towards Doll #5 and Ice Doll #6. The dolls were too late as the ice stalagmite pierces both Dolls and killed them. Someone began to clap. Shirayuki looked to see the Snow Priestess clapping.
"Impressive." Snow Priestess said. "You're stronger than me." Snow Priestess said. "I think it is time for a new body." Snow Priestess said.
"New body?" Shirayuki thought. Suddenly the Snow Priestess began to scream as her eyes began to roll back and black tears began to drip out of her eyes. From the Snow Priestess's mouth, something black began to accumulate her mouth. The black sludge jumped out of the Snow Priestess's mouth. The Snow Priestess slammed on the ground. The black sludge began to rise and change shape. It began to have a humanoid shape with two white circles for eyes.
"What are you?" Shirayuki asked.
"I have no name." The being said.
"What's your purpose then?" Ichigo asked as he shunpō'ed right next to Shirayuki.
"My purpose is to free the Yōkai." The being said and lunged at Shirayuki. "You're my next host!" Shirayuki calmly punctures the ground once, creating a large ice circle. She then punctures the ground in front of her four times in a semi-circle. As ice particles begin to flow up from the punctures she made in the ground, she takes a battle stance facing the dark being. The reiatsu began to build up at the tip of her blade.
"Hakuren," Shirayuki said as she stabbed her blade forward; released as a large, powerful avalanche of cold air at the dark being. The being was too slow and got hit by Hakuren. As the being was slowly turning into ice due to Hakuren, the being spoke again.
"You may have stopped me, but the Master shall prevail, and our Fairy Tale will end happily ever after." The being said before the ice fully froze the being. The ice shattered to reveal nothing. Ichigo looked to see Miyabi Fujisaki disappeared. Ichigo walked over to the fallen Snow Priestess. Ichigo gently shook her shoulders.
"Hey wake up," Ichigo said. Slowly the Snow Priestess woke up.
"Huh?" The Snow Priestess said. "Where am I? Who are you?"
"Well, my name is Kurosaki Ichigo and we're currently in the Snow Priestess's throne room," Ichigo said.
"Really? I always wanted to go see the Snow Priestess." The Snow Priestess said.
"Um… you are the Snow Priestess?" Ichigo said.
"What!?" The Snow Priestess said.
"Ya… What do you remember before waking up?" Ichigo asked; trying to figure out what is going on.
"The last thing I remembered was that one of the Snow Maidens came to my house and presented me with a summoning to see the Snow Priestess." The current Snow Priestess said.
"I see… Do you have a name?" Ichigo asked.
"My name is Yasashī Yuki [Gentle Snow]." The newly dubbed Yasashī Yuki said.
"So, let's get back to the village," Mizore suggested.
"Sure," Ichigo said as he gently picked up the paralyzed Kahlua. With Kahlua safely secured Ichigo shunpō'ed to the village. While Shirayuki held both Yasashī's and Mizore's hand before shunpō'ed away.
Scene Change: Yuki-Onna Village
The sun was rising, and everyone was waking up. Many of the residents were just waking up and getting ready for the Flower Offering Ceremony. Tsurara just handed the girls some guns from her private collection. Suddenly she heard a knock on her door. Tsurara pushed her shelf back in place and hid her guns in her kimono. Everyone got the message and hid their guns in their kimono. Tsurara opened the door to see Ichigo carrying Kahlua, Shirayuki, Mizore, and Yasashī outside her door.
"May we come in?" Ichigo asked. Tsurara moved out of the way as the four entered her house.
"Nee-san!" Moka and Kokoa said.
"Hello Moka-chan and Kokoa-chan," Kahlua replied in turn. Ichigo placed Kahlua on the couch as everyone else others managed to arrive at the living room.
"Snow Priestess do you want something to drink?" Tsurara asked.
"I'm not the Snow Priestess, I'm Yasashī," Yasashī said. Tsurara looked confused.
"Tsurara, can you get us some water. I'll explain the situation." Ichigo said.
"Very well," Tsurara said as she brought some water for Ichigo and the other girls.
"Let's start right after Tsurara left me and Shirayuki in front of the Snow Priestess's Shrine," Ichigo said.
"That is a good place to start," Tsurara replied.
"Anyways, when we entered the Shrine, we saw that Mizore was there on the ground.
The Snow Priestess stood up and greeted all three of us. After that Mizore started yelling at the Snow Priestess for interrupting her moment with Tsukune." Ichigo said. Kurumu, Yukari, and Ruby glared at Mizore. "The Snow Priestess told her that a relationship with Tsukune would not work and she said that she was destined to marry a guy from Fairy Tale named Miyabi Fujisaki.
"Fairy Tale." Everyone from the Newspaper Club growled.
"I interrupted their discussion. Miyabi Fujisaki ordered Kahlua to kill me and Shirayuki. We ended up splitting into two fights." Ichigo said.
"I was against the Snow Priestess," Shirayuki said.
"While I was against Kahlua," Ichigo said. "During our fight, I convinced Kahlua to talk to both of you about my fight with Issa," Ichigo said.
"It was more of paralyzing me and forcing me to listen." Kahlua corrected.
"It wasn't a fight it was a one-sided slaughter," Kokoa said.
"Ichigo defeated Oto-sama and destroyed his pride," Moka said as she remembered Ichigo's fight with Issa.
"Did Oto-sama transform?" Kahlua asked.
"He did," Moka replied.
"I see," Kahlua replied.
"Anyways, Shirayuki fought against the Snow Priestess. It turns out the Snow Priestess was controlled by another being. That being turns out to be an ally of Fairy Tale. Shirayuki managed to defeat the being which set the Snow Priestess free." Ichigo said as he points at Yuki.
"Hi. I'm Yasashī Yuki." Yuki said.
"So what are we going to do?" Tsurara asked.
"Gather up the adults in the village and select a new leader for the village," Ichigo said.
"How?" Tsurara asked.
"How did you do it before?" Ichigo asked.
"The previous Snow Priestess would select a new one to take her place," Tsurara replied.
"So that is what happened to me," Yuki said. Everyone looked at her. "I received a summoning to see the Snow Priestess. I think that is how I became the new Snow Priestess." Yuki said.
"So… maybe try to find the current oldest resident of the village and go from there," Ichigo suggested.
"I'll see about it," Tsurara said. "All of you stay here while I talk with the older residents of the village. With that Tsurara left. Ichigo summoned Suzumebachi and injected Kahlua with the anti-venom. Kahlua, Moka and Kokoa decided to play with Elizabeth indoors. Mizore snuck herself and Tsukune out of the house.
"I'm going to rest in the mindscape,"Shirayuki said.
"Go ahead. I'm going to read this book." Ichigo said as he summoned one of his many books from his mindscape.
"THAT BI-OW!" Kurumu yelled. Kurumu glared at Yukari who smack Kurumu on the head with a wash pan. "What was that for!"
"You're about to swear in front of Elizabeth," Yukari said.
"Oh. We need to look for Tsukune. Mizore snuck him out of the house. Who knows what those two could be doing together." Kurumu said as she ran out of the house followed by Yukari and Ruby. Ichigo chuckled and decided to read one of his many books.
Scene Change
Kurumu, Ruby, and Yukari managed to find Mizore and Tsukune. Once again, Kurumu and Mizore start to argue about Tsukune. With the girls distracted, Tsukune managed to slip away from the girls.
"Sigh." Tsukune thought as he walked around the village. "I'm not strong enough. When Mizore was attacked by the Snow Priestess… I was powerless to stop it!" Tsukune punched the ground; launching a bunch of snow.
"It seems someone is angry." Someone said. Tsukune turned around to see a strange man walking towards Tsukune. His face is covered by a mask that has five eyes. He wears a round hat and a long cloak. The man is carrying a walking stick, which resembles a spinal column and brain.
"Who are you?" Tsukune asked.
"Who am I? It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is what I can do for you." The masked man said as walked closer to Tsukune.
"I don't need your help," Tsukune said.
"Tsu. Tsu. Tsu." The masked man said as he waved his finger. "Little children shouldn't lie to their elders… I know what you want." The masked man said as he walked right in front of Tsukune. "You want more power." Tsukune thought back to his Berserker phase; searching for other Yōkai to devour to get stronger. "The power to get a girl of your dreams." Tsukune thought back to his reason for this power; to win back Moka from that monster.
"What if it is true that I want that power. What can you do about it?"
"Oh… very simple." The man said. He raised his finger towards his walking stick. He used his walking stick to cut off his finger and present the bloody finger to Tsukune. "Eat this." Tsukune stared at the bloody finger. Tsukune could tell that this finger contains a lot of Yōki. Tsukune slowly picked up the bloody finger from the man's hand.
"Should I do this?" Tsukune thought.
"Do it…" Someone said. Tsukune looked around to see that it's just himself and the mysterious man standing there with his cane.
"He disappeared. I could throw this away now." Tsukune thought to himself.
"Don't. You need this. You want it." The mysterious voice said again.
"Where is that voice coming from?" Tsukune thought to himself.
"Remember… you're not doing this for yourself… You're doing it for Moka…"
"Moka…" Tsukune thought as he remembered what Moka did for him.
"You're doing this to help her. To free herself from the monster."
"Freeing her from the monster," Tsukune said as he took a deep breath and ate the finger. Tsukune felt a chill hit the back of his neck. Tsukune suddenly felt his Yōki dramatically increased.
"Whoa," Tsukune said.
"How do you feel?"
"I feel way stronger than before. Maybe stronger than him," Tsukune said as he looked at the masked man. "Please, sir, I want some more. I want to be stronger."
"Very well. But, you must do something for me." The masked man said.
"What?" Tsukune asked. Behind the mask, the man smiled wildly. The man walked over and began to whisper into Tsukune's ears. "WHAT!" Tsukune said in shock.
"Don't worry. Once we're done, you can have her back." The masked man said.
"Very well," Tsukune said. The masked man handed Tsukune a phone and walked away. Tsukune resumed wandering around the village; lost in thought about what he has to do. When suddenly he heard someone yelling out his name.
"Tsukune! ~~3" Kurumu yelled as she jumped on Tsukune. He barely managed to keep his balance.
"Kurumu-chan. Please get off me." Tsukune said.
"Oh my god! He called me Kurumu-chan!" Kurumu thought. "S-sure Tsukune," Kurumu said as she gently jumped off Tsukune's back.
"There you are," Yukari said. The two looked to see Yukari and Ruby managed to regroup.
"Hello, Yukari-chan and Ruby-chan," Tsukune said.
"Oh my god! He called me Yukari-chan!" Yukari thought.
"Oh my god! He called me Ruby-chan!" Ruby thought.
"Wait… he called the others with the -chan suffix so… what is he doing?" Each of the girls thought. Tsukune realized his mistake as he senses the small spike of Yōki.
"Wait!" Tsukune said; trying to defuse the situation.
"Ladies' it's not proper to fight in front of the boy all of you want to impress," Mizore said as she landed right next to Tsukune.
"Mizore-chan." Tsukune said.
"Ka-san requested out presents," Mizore said as she looked at the group.
"Fine." The girls said as they all crossed their arms and looked away from each other. Mizore led the group back to her house. They walked in to see Moka, Kokoa, Elizabeth, and Kahlua leaning on each other sleeping. While Ichigo had a book covering his face and appears to be sleeping. Tsurara walked over to the sleeping Ichigo.
"Ichigo-sama, please wake up," Tsurara said as she gently nudges the sleeping Ichigo. Ichigo grabbed the book and sent the book back to his mindscape. Ichigo rubbed his eyes and let out a small yawn.
"Good morning," Ichigo said. Seeing Ichigo was awake, Tsurara went to wake the other girls up. One everyone was awake, Tsurara gathered everyone in the living room. Ichigo called out Shirayuki who sat next to Ichigo.
"I managed to gather all of the adults in the village and informed them about what happened. Many of them want the current Snow Priestess to continue to lead the village." Tsurara said.
"But I can't. I don't even remember what I did as the Snow Priestess." Yuki yelled.
"I informed them of this. We all came to a consensus about it. We will have three of the oldest residents and three younger residents will take charge." Tsurara said.
"How will they be selected?" Ichigo asked.
"All six of them must be volunteers. The younger ones must wait till all of their children are above the age of 10." Tsurara said.
"How long is the term?" Ichigo asked.
"This term will be for three more years. After that, each term will be five years, and everyone can rerun only three times in total. Ichigo nodded his head. With that, everyone enjoyed their last day in the village. The Newspaper Club went around and interview the residents of the village. They asked them about their opinion about the Snow Priestess, Fairy Tale, and the new changes to the village.
Like all good things, it comes to an end. Everyone left the village and once again walked Mizore led the group. Ichigo released a small bit of his fire reiatsu to keep everyone warm. All of them hiked until they arrived at a frost-covered bus sign. Everyone gathered around near the sign. In the far distance, everyone could see a familiar yellow school bus driving towards them. The school bus slowed down and eventually stopped right in front of the bus stop. The doors opened to see the familiar face of the bus driver.
"Looks like all of you had an excellent adventure," Nurari said.
"It was an interesting adventure," Ichigo said as he boarded the bus.
"It will be in the next newspaper," Moka said as she got on board behind Ichigo.
"Hi Creepy Eye Bus Driver-san," Elizabeth said she got on board. Ichigo and Nurari laughed at Elizabeth's statement.
"Elizabeth!" Moka cried out. "You don't say that to the bus driver. Now apologize to the Bus Driver-san." Moka said.
"Yes Kaa-san," Elizabeth said. "Sorry Creepy Eye Bus Driver-san for calling you Creepy Eye Bus Driver-san," Elizabeth said. Ichigo and Nurari laughed even harder at Elizabeth's new statement. Moka sighed as she scoots over for Elizabeth to sit down. She ignored Ichigo giving Elizabeth a high-five. Kokoa and Kahlua board after; sitting behind Ichigo, Moka, and Elizabeth. Finally, Tsukune and the remaining Newspaper Club boarded and sat in the back. With everyone boarded, Nurari started the school bus and drove away from the Yuki-Onna Village. Ichigo chuckled at Kahlua's gasp of amazement of the colors in the dimensional tunnel. Ichigo looked over to see both Elizabeth and Moka staring out of the window; Elizabeth also enjoyed the colors while Moka lost in thought.
"Moka, you alright?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm fine. Just a lot of things on my mind." Moka admitted. Ichigo reached over to Moka and gently grabbed her hand.
"It's alright Moka. I'll be here if you need someone else to talk to." Ichigo said.
"Thank you Ichigo," Moka said as she looked away from the window and kissed Ichigo on the lips. The dimension tunnel started to bright up as the school bus exits the dimensional tunnel. Everyone looked out to see the black dead trees and the occasional gravestone that decorate the school. The school bus slowed down as it pulled over at the bus stop. Everyone quickly got off the school bus. With that, the school bus drove away.
"Bye Tsukune!" Mizore, Kurumu, and Yukari said as they walked off towards the girls' dormitories.
"Hey Moka." Tsukune called out.
"Yes Tsukune?" Moka asked.
"In about ten minutes were going to meet up in the club room to work on the articles. Can you come?" Tsukune asked.
"I'll be there," Moka said.
"Bye Moka," Tsukune said as he walked towards the boys' dormitory.
"Ichigo," Moka called out.
"Yes, Moka?" Ichigo asked.
"Can you take my bags and Elizabeth back to our room?" Moka asked.
"Sure I-" Ichigo said before he sensed something flying towards him. Ichigo turned to see some type of bird flying towards Ichigo. The bird slowed down before landing by Ichigo's right shoulder. The bird raised its left leg at Ichigo. Ichigo looked to see a letter tied on its leg. Ichigo carefully removed the letter from the bird.
"What was that?" Kokoa asked.
"I letter," Ichigo said as he opened it and began to read the contents.
"Dear Yamamoto-Kurosaki Ichigo, Second Heir of the Noble and Most Ancient Clan of Yamamoto, this is Ozu Miyuki of the Ancient Clan of Ozu. Ozu Miyuki is writing to inform you that your order is ready. Ozu Miyuki is asking for Yamamoto-Kurosaki Ichigo to reply as soon as he could with the estimated time of arrival. This is requested because of a special ritual required for the staff. Please reply as soon as you can. Sincerely Ozu Miyuki of the Ancient Clan of Ozu and owner of Miyuki's Wands." Ichigo thought about it for a few seconds.
"I'll be there in less than an hour." Ichigo wrote on the back of the letter and tied it back on the bird's leg. With that done, the bird flew away.
"What was that?" Moka asked.
"It was Ozu Miyuki. She wrote that she needs to see me due to my staff." Ichigo said.
"When are you leaving?" Moka asked.
"In an hour, we need to go see Mikogami about Kahlua's situation." Ichigo reminded.
"Oh ya... Let's get that done." Moka said. Ichigo, Moka, Kahlua, and Elizabeth walked over to Mikogami's office.
Scene Change: Mikogami's office
Mikogami was filling out various paperwork on in his office. When suddenly he heard someone knocking on his door. He activated a modified transparency spell that's charmed on the door. It allows Mikogami to see who is knocking on the door but prevents the outside from seeing in. Mikogami looked to see Ichigo, Moka, Kahlua, and Elizabeth standing outside his door. "Come in," Mikogami said. The door opened and the four walked on in. "Hello, how can I help your four?"
"Um… Headmaster, I was wondering if you can give my sister a room for a few days." Moka asked.
"Very well, she will have the room right next to you," Mikogami said as he opened a drawer and pulled out a key.
"Thank you." Moka and Kahlua said as Kahlua grabbed the key.
"Anything else?" Mikogami asked.
"Nope," Ichigo said. With that, the four left Mikogami's office. Ichigo, Elizabeth, and Kahlua wave goodbye to Moka as the three head back to their room. Moka walked down a corridor towards the Newspaper Clubroom. A few minutes later, Moka arrived at the Newspaper Clubroom. Moka slid the door to see no one.
"I guess I'm a little early." Moka thought as she entered the Newspaper Clubroom and slid the door shut. When suddenly she felt something hit her in the back of the head and Moka was knocked unconscious.
