Shinigami of the Trinity

Soul Society

Renji was watching as his best friend, and fellow lieutenant finished another bottle of sake. He wanted to stop her, but the best way to get information is by getting that person drunk. So he just watched and took sips of his own sake.

He didn't like it not one bit, but he wanted to know what happened to Ichigo. Renji knew she was hiding something, but when he asked on his way here she avoided the conversation as a whole. This was his last resort, and it seems to be working, for Rukia was already mumbling words about random things.

That was when he heard it. "We betrayed him." The short lieutenant whispered. "He needed his friends and we left him alone." Rukia finished.

Renji then felt it was time to ask his questions. "Rukia." The woman looked at him, and he noticed the tint on her cheeks. "What really happened? What happened to Ichigo?" The girl looked at him and stared. "You can trust me, Rukia. I won't tell anyone, I promise."

After seconds of silence, she spoke, and her answer shocked the redhead. "Ichigo is with the Shinto gods." She then went onto explaining what happened, and by the time she was over Renji had also finished one bottle of sake. Rukia had tears going down her cheek. "We abandoned him, Renji. He needed us and we abandoned him."

The two remained quiet as they continued to drink in silence. Renji had to agree, they did abandon Ichigo, and now he was in the hands of the gods. But to be honest he'd prefer if Ichigo was away. Renji knew that the Soul Society would only have him fix more of their problems.

Renji looked towards the exit and found it dark. He slowly got up putting some kan on the table. "Rukia we need to leave, we have things to do tomorrow." He said as he got to his full height.

But when he did he found his friend passed out. With a sigh, he went over to her sleeping body, lifted her and started to make his way out of the shop.

Renji didn't know where to go but he made his way towards the Kuchiki Residence. He knew it was a risk but it was closer than the 13th division's barracks. So with the passed-out lieutenant in his arms, he made his way towards the place.

On his way there he thought of the times when they were younger, to the happy times in 78th District. To where he made friends with Rukia, and how he has had a crush on her since, and how their friendship grew greater. This was all thanks to Ichigo.

For decades Rukia was growing distant with him, going as far as not having eye contact whenever they crossed paths. But then Ichigo came and closed that distance, Rukia and him started growing closer together. So that is why he felt like he owed Ichigo, and that is why he won't tell a soul about what he was told today.

When Renji returned to his world, he found himself standing in front of the Kuchiki main branch house. There he found two guards standing there. The guards recognized him, nodded, and stepped out of the way.

Renji gave a bow to them as he walked past, and stopped to ask where Rukia's room was, they pointed him in the direction and he made his way there, still carrying the unconscious body of his best friend, and crush.

When he got there he opened the sliding door with his foot and walked inside. He wasn't suspecting much when he opened the door, and that was what he got. The room was plain, and spacious, with only a bed and a few dressers.

Renji made his way to the bed, closing the door behind him, and placed Rukia onto it, he watched as she moved around until she stopped… looking towards him. The redhead smiled at the sight and went to leave.

But as he did he felt someone grabbing his sleeve, Renji looked back and found Rukia grabbing it, and with eyes slightly opened. "Please stay, Renji." He saw a tear falling from her left eye. "Please."

Renji was hesitant and responded. "If Captain Kuchiki finds out he won't be very happy." He answered.

Rukia sat up. "Please Renji, stay with me." The said redhead stared at his best friend, and after seconds nodded. Rukia smiled. "Thank you, Renji." She finished moving over making room for the redhead to get in. Renji let his hair loose by taking out the strap and climbed into the bed. He moved around until he was facing the door he entered through. He then felt Rukia grabbing the back of his shihakusho. "Good night Renji." She whispered.

He took a breath and closed his eyes, avoiding the feeling in his crotch, and responded. "Good night Rukia."

The two remained quiet as they tried to fall asleep, and the redhead was the first one to dream. The smaller lieutenant followed shortly after and whispered. "I love you Renji." Then she fell asleep, allowing the darkness to overcome her drunk mind.

Outside of the room was the Head of the Family, with his hands in his sleeve, and eyes closed. But what stood out the most was the small smile he had. He then left the two to sleep, saying something as he went. "Then he is the one you have chosen, Rukia… I approve." He finished as he entered his room.

Ichigo's Mindscape

—

"Ichigo, before we start you need to know that what you have been using, was never your real zanpakuto, or Zangetsu." The voice of Yhwach said as he stood in front of the orange hair teen, who only hours ago finished his training with Longinus.

The teen raised a brow at that. "Then what have I been using, if it wasn't Zangetsu?" He watched as the man brought a hand out of his cloak, and as he watched as the same butcher blade he was using during his substitute shinigami days.

"You were using a blade I made to replace it." The blade then vanished. "But that isn't all Ichigo. When you were using it you were only using the part I couldn't hold back." The man's cloak opened to reveal black pants and a white button shirt. "But this is what your power truly is." Within a blink, a blue flaming sword appeared, and the cloak bellowed. "This Ichigo is your true Zangetsu." Yhwach moved the blade towards the teen, saying as he did. "Ichigo take that blade, and you will have your true Zangetsu and powers."

Ichigo felt the power that was flowing out of the flaming blade, and it was enormous. The orange-haired teen moved his hand to grip it, but as he did the cloaked man spoke.

"When you grab that blade you find something missing." Ichigo looked over to the man. "That something is what makes all zanpakutos', and only one man can give it to you. But that man is of the Royal Guard, and can't be trusted, Ichigo."

Ichigo nodded. "Thank you, Yhwach for telling me that." Ichigo looked back to the blade. "Is that all I need to know?" He couldn't see it, but he knew the man nodded. Ichigo then grabbed the blade, and within seconds everything around him started to crumble. Luckily they were deep in the skyscraper area, so only the buildings were being destroyed.

Ichigo felt the power of the blade flowing around him, and as the flame started engulfing him in its heat. When it died down Ichigo found himself holding two blades, one bigger than the other, and both blades were black. Ichigo then noticed he was wearing a shihakusho.

But he also got that feeling the cloaked man was talking about, they both felt empty, and light. But he was taken from his thoughts when he heard his name being called.

"Ichigo," Yhwach said, the teen looked at the man. "I see you know what I mean from earlier." Ichigo's response was a nod and went back to looking at the two blades. Yhwach noticed this and went to change the topic. "Ichigo you need to focus right now. I know that you are trying to understand your Zangetsus but right now you need to learn to control your overflowing spiritual pressure, and to use your Quincy powers."

That got Ichigo's attention. To learn how to control the power he was given by his mother. Ichigo looked towards the man and nodded. "Well let's get started then, Yhwach."

The man smiled. "And we shall." The man then went onto explaining to Ichigo how he will be able to control his overflowing spiritual pressure.

Karakura Town

—

Karin was pissed, she knew Yuzu was but her twin was too gentle to show it. But that was what she was here for. Karin was the anger of the two, and Yuzu was the gentle one.

The reason she was pissed was because of her powerlessness. She could do nothing as her brother was kidnapped, and now she was powerless to try to get him back. And that is the reason why she was making her way to the shop.

He was probably the only person that could give her what she wanted, and she will get what she wanted. For her father has shown that he is a worthless fuck, not willing to go help his son.

Karin reached the shop during her inner thoughts, and she didn't bother knocking because she knew that the man would know she would be coming, and that was proven for the minute she closed the door the man was in front of her.

"Ahhh." Kisuke Urahara said behind his fan, with his eyes closed, and a joyful voice. "If it isn't Miss Kurosaki." He never removed his fan from his mouth. "How can I help you on this fine day?"

She snarled and crossed her arms. "You know why I'm here, Hat-and-Clogs." He looked past him to the door to the basement, which was wide open. "I want power."

There was silence, but that was broken when the man opened his eyes to show they were red. "Well, little miss. You already have power, but no one has been willing to awaken it." He removed the fan from covering his mouth, to show that he wasn't happy at all. "But that is until now. I will help you awaken your powers. All we need is you to do one thing Miss Kurosaki, and that is to trust me."

The girl looked up at the man. "If it gives me the power to save Ichigo, I will put my life in your hands."

The man nodded. "Good. But we are still waiting on one more person, and she should be here anytime n-." He was interrupted when the door flew open. "Ahh, she is here."

Karin looked behind her and saw her twin there. Her eyes flew open as well, and together they said. "Yuzu?/Karin? Why are you here?" They then answered at the same time. "So I can have the power to save Ichigo."

Urahara, who was watching, was looking between the two with a raised brow. "Well, that just happened." He shook his head. "Nevermind that." He looked at the younger twin. "Miss Yuzu." She looked at him. "I sadly won't be able to help you with your powers." He watched a sad and hurt look on the girl's face. "But. I know someone who can help with your wish, and luckily he is here for you."

The sound of someone walking towards them, making both girls look towards the direction of where it was coming from. They watched as a man dressed in white and had glasses came out of the shadow.

Both girls recognized the man from the few times their father brought them to the general hospital. "Mr. Ishida?" They both said. Yuzu continued for them. "Why are you here?"

The man looked at the two girls, took out a cigarette, and lit it. Immediately both girls watched as a large, muscular man came charging out of the backroom, towards the spectacled man, and ripped it out of the man's mouth and out a window.

The twins look dumbly at what they saw happen. The white-haired man sighed, closing his eyes and answered the younger girl's question. "I'm here to train you, Yuzu Kurosaki." He opened his blue eyes. "I'm going to teach you the power Masaki gave you at birth."

The girl's eyes widened, but she quickly closed them and bowed. "I thank you for this opportunity." She looked up with a smile.

Ryuken sighed. "Don't thank me yet. We haven't yet started." He looked towards the shop owner, who was yawning. "May we borrow a part of the basement?" The man waved his hand and nodded. The white-haired man then looked back to the younger twin. "Come along, Miss Yuzu." The girl nodded and followed the man down to the basement.

With Karin, the black-haired twin was looking at the man in front of her. "So where will we be training?"

The man yawned, and opened his fan, coving his mouth. "We will also be training downstairs. But I want to ask you a few things before we start. Two to be exact." Karin nodded, and Urahara started. "Within the last few days, weeks, and months, have you heard a voice at all?"

Karin's eyes widened a bit remembering the few times it has happened. 'Yes. Tell him yes, Little Tomboy.' And there it was. The teen nodded and answered. "Yes. A female voice.."

Kisuke nodded. "The second question is similar to the first one. But whenever you're asleep or daydreaming, have you found yourself somewhere else, and it did feel real?"

Again Karin was shocked at how on the target he was, and she nodded. "Yes. Whenever it happens I find myself in a canyon surrounded by water."

He nodded again and turned to the basement entrance. "Come along, Miss Karin. You wanted the power to help Ichigo and I'll help awaken it completely."

After seconds of just standing there, Karin followed Kisuke down to the basement, and once he was down there, she immediately noticed Yuzu, who was lying down on the ground, with a blue arrow in the centre of her body.

She wanted to go to her twin but Kisuke stopped her. "She's fine. It's just the way the quinces awaken dormant Quincy powers." She looked over to where Kisuke was and found him wearing a glove. "Now you will feel very weird once this happens but just know that it's natural for that feeling."

Karin then watched as the hat-and-clogged man placed the gloved hand on her forehead and indeed she felt weird. But then she felt a weight on her left hip.

Karin looked at the hip and found a katana there. The tsuka of the katana was blue, and tsuka ito was a light blue. The tsuba of the katana was in the shape of a half-moon. She then noticed that her hips were revealed and that she was wearing black and white clothes.

"Miss Karin." She looked over to the person who called her. "Welcome to the shinigami world. I will be teaching you how to control that power and to unlock your true potential." Kisuke said as he unsheathes his blade. "And we start… NOW." The man then vanished and Karin unsheathed her blade and reflected the attack.

Ichigo's Mindscape

—

Ichigo was standing in front of the cloaked man with his black broadsword Heilig Bogen. "Very good, Ichigo," Yhwach said as he watched. "You are mastering your Quincy powers quickly. Now summon your bow, Ichigo."

Ichigo dispersed the reishi blade and summoned his bow, which was black and red this time. Which made him question. "Why is it that mine is black?"

Yhwach stepped off of his phone pole and went toward his master. "Well, you are special Ichigo. Never once has there been a child of all three races." He summoned his reishi sword. "Now let's dance Ichigo. Show me what you have learned in the last hour."

Ichigo nodded, and repeated the action, but summoned his blade instead. The two then charged at the other, Ichigo already showing his mastery of hirenkyaku, and each time Yhwach made contact with Ichigo, blut vene was there protecting its host, and then whenever Ichigo attack, blut arteries was there to up its host's power.

Yhwach backed up, and vanished his Heilig Bogen, and smiled. "Excellent Ichigo. The mastery of your Quincy powers is showing." He turned back to his pole and stood on it. "But our time here has come to an end, Ichigo. I have taught you what you needed to, and you mastered one of them." He started to disappear. "But now it's time for you to learn about your hollow and Shinigami powers." He finished as he completely vanished.

Ichigo looked around looking at the sight he had. Everywhere he looked he saw forests, skyscrapers, and chess pieces, the largest and greatest of them is the king piece. He never played chess before but he wouldn't say no if someone offered to teach him.

But as he looked around he saw something in the distance, a white cage that stuck out like a poor thumb. Ichigo got the feeling to go towards it, and he almost did if it wasn't for the insane voice that spoke.

"King!" Ichigo looked over to see the person who holds both his hollow and shinigami powers. "It's my turn to teach you about your powers. Also, summon those blades."

Ichigo did just that and summoned the two blades, and immediately it felt wrong to him. These two blades felt lifeless, and it felt wrong to wield two lifeless blades in his opinion.

"So you agree King? That those two don't feel like Zangetsu?" The sword spirit said as he snarled at the blades. "Those are a part of me and even I don't like what they feel like."

Ichigo nodded. "They feel dead like they don't belong."

Zangetsu nodded. "Yes, King." He walked towards him. A grin then grew onto the insane spirit's face. "But because you know about your shinigami powers, and I would agree that you most likely don't want to use those blades for it. I've concluded that we could use them for hollow training." Zangetsu started to change forms, to that of the time during the Mugetsu training.

Ichigo looked at the spirit as a massive blade appeared. The blade was white and black with a black chain. He felt like he knew the blade but didn't.

"This is Tensa Zangetsu, King." The echoing voice of his zanpakuto spirit spoke. "Again doesn't feel like him, King. Now let's begin."

Ichigo nodded and put the two blades in front of him and yelled. "Slay, Tensa Zangetsu!" And the two blades transformed into one, and without a break, he continued. "Eat, Devorador!"

That was when he was brought back to the time on top of Las Noches. How he heard her voice, and how he lost control and almost killed Uryu. But this time he didn't turn back, he just went on and killed his friends, and then moved on to the next. Little did he know that in his mindscape was also a beautiful woman that had a crazed smile on her face, and as the scene slowly continued, he killed his friends, Chad, Renji, Toshiro, and then Rukia, and how he went on to killing his family. Ichigo placed his hands onto his head, and slowly he started to scream as the scene continued.

Zangetsu, who was standing in front of his master, lost all traces of a smile or grin. He heard the sound of the others, and immediately he asked. "She escaped didn't she?"

"Yes." Was his answer, and it was Lucifer who did. All four souls then got into a fighting stance. "All we need to do is pin him, and hope Ichigo can withstand her, or wait for his mother." He finished dawning his armour, and sword. And then it happened and every skyscraper was blown away as the five beings fought, one being possessed by a darker and evil spirit, and the others spirits of the possessed soul.

Chapter 5 is done. So what did you think? Leave a comment to let me know.

Also, I know some of you might not like the way I'm treating Ichigo's Zangetsus, but they were both useless, and ugly. So I'm sorry about that, but he will be getting a new Zangetsu. Also there is a new poll, both sister will be joining the harem. Sorry for those who didn't want them to join.

Next chapter we will have Ichigo finishing his training, a conversation with the Shinto, and then off to Kuoh with the orange-haired teen.
