Mindscape

Everywhere he looked those sights appeared again and again. Ichigo again felt powerless before this, and he hated it. He could do nothing to stop this, nothing at all. 'K...g.'

Little did the orange-haired teen know was that those thoughts were powering the visions, giving them more hatred to feed upon. 'K...ng.' Ichigo felt the anger grow inside him, allowing the visions to get darker and darker until Ichigo saw himself standing in the middle of Sōkyoku Hill, as far as the eye can see, everything was ablaze, and Ichigo was surrounded by the dead bodies of every shinigami he knew or has lived, with his friends and allies closet to him. Deep inside of the teen, he knew everywhere else was the same, Hueco Mundo and the Living World. Everything and everywhere was ablaze and everyone was dead.

'ICHIGO!'

With that, the orange-haired teen snapped out of anger endorsed mood. Ichigo looked around but only found the normal visions, the ones of him killing everyone he has loved or cared about.

'King, you won't be able to find us, for we are in your head.' The familiar voice of his hollow spoke. 'But King you need to focus on something else. You need to think of the happy times. Think of the times when you were with your friends, and then you might be able to break free of this hellish shit hole.' Zangetsu's voice then started growing distant. 'Think of those times when you were with Rias and them. Imagine yourself with them, Ichigo…."

His hollow/shinigami spirit's voice then vanished, leaving Ichigo to think over what the spirit said, and immediately his surroundings started to change. Ichigo then felt himself remembering those times he shared recently.

Flashback -Three Weeks Ago-

—

"Ichigo." The crimson beauty called out as he was about to leave the classroom. Ichigo looked back to Rias to see that she was alone, and he immediately noticed a bright smuggish smile on her face as she spoke. "I was wondering if we could hang out for a bit. I would also like to see how you are at chess."

The hybrid teen felt the air in the room grew colder as a glare grew on Sona's normally emotionless face, and how a sadistic look comes over Akeno. Ichigo look looked at Ria's and shrugged. "Why not."

Ichigo turned to leave and as he did he knew that Rias was looking back at the other with a smug look. She quickly followed him as they left the school grounds. As they did Rias caught up to Ichigo, and walked beside him.

The two continued in silence, the only noise being the commotion going on around them. The silence broke by Ichigo who asked the beauty beside him. "So Rias, what are your plans?" He looked to her, and watch as a mischievous grin grew onto her face.

"Well first on the list is we need something to eat. From there we need to do a bit of shopping." Ichigo raised a brow, wondering what he needed to go shopping for. His answer was a glint in her eyes as she said. "I require some new underwear, my sweet strawberry boy."

Immediately images appeared in the mind of one Ichigo Kurosaki. The curves and the smooth pale skin he could see, ohhh he wanted to touch that skin. The teen's eyes widened and as he heard the echoing laughter of Zangetsu, he screamed in his mind. 'Why am I thinking such things!' His face was as bright as a tomato, and he felt blood flow to his crouch.

Rias enjoyed the look her friend and crush held. She got the reaction she wanted. The crimson beauty then finished what she wanted to say. "Then we can finish it off with a game of chess." Rias watched as Ichigo nodded slowly, and as he took deep calming breaths.

"Gotcha." He said after a few seconds. "Do you know where you might want to eat?" He asked looking at her after his face started looking like itself. Rias nodded, and again Ichigo spotted the mischievous look in her eyes. When she pointed the direction he thought she did. Ichigo looked in the direction and released a sigh. 'This woman is doing it on purpose.' He said as he nodded accepting his fate, and the two made their way to the Maid Cafe.

An Hour Later

—

He couldn't stand it. He was surrounded by lingerie, and woman underwear and every woman in the store was looking at him. Ichigo Kurosaki couldn't stand it anymore. So with a deep breath, he went to leave, but that all went to shit when she called.

"Ichigo?" He looked back to the room he was standing by to see Rias sticking her head out, and looked at him with a raised brow, but he saw the sparkle of mischievous and joy in her eyes. "Where do you think you are going, Strawberry? I still need your help."

With that Ichigo felt himself being yanked into the change room, giving him a sight that will be etched into his mind until the end of times. For he was looking at a half-naked Rias, wearing revealing black lace panties with an equally revealing garter belt, and immediately blood flew towards his crouch and his face turned a shade of red that would bring shame to Rias' hair.

But before he could get a look at her assets, Ichigo watched as she turned around. "Can you help me clip this on, Ichigo?" She asked, and Ichigo heard the honesty in her voice. "I think I grabbed a size too small." She explained as she looked back at him.

Ichigo nodded and took a step towards her, and placed his bookbag on the bench beside hers. The orange-haired teen grabbed the straps, and as he went to hook them together, one of his fingers ran along her skin, and it was everything that Ichigo imagined it to be, as smooth as ice and marble, and as soft as a kittie belly.

But he also took notice of her smell, she smelled of lavender soap, a smell he remembered a short-haired dark green girl once used. Ichigo then noticed that they were standing in front of a mirror, and he noticed Rias' cheek was a shade redder than they normally are.

Ichigo finished hooking the bra and placed his hands onto her hips. He immediately noticed the flinch she released at his touch. Ichigo went to take his hands off but was stopped when Rias placed her hands onto his. "Don't." Was all the crimson beauty said as she held onto his hand.

Ichigo nodded and moved his hand back to where they were formerly. Rias leaned back, closing her eyes, and onto the orange-haired teen's chest, and took deep breaths. Ichigo then asked her, already knowing the answer. "When I placed my hands onto your hips… you flinched." Rias opened her eyes and nodded. "What's wrong?"

Ichigo watched as she took one last breath, and closed her eyes, as she answered. "I was betrothed to an asshole, one who touched, groped me, and took pleasure in my discomfort." She stopped and took another deep breath. "I hated it. I hated his touch. I hated his hands on me. And after everything, he still has the lasting effect."

Ichigo nodded, and he felt an even greater hatred in him for the bastard, and now he regretted not killing him when he had the chance. He shook his head and leaned forward until he was beside her ear. "Then why are you allowing this?"

Rias looked at him and gave him the most honest answer anyone has given him. "Why wouldn't I? Ichigo you are one of the few I trust the most." Ichigo was taken aback at her answer. "Even though you hide your powers from us, you have never brought harm to those I trust, and those I love." She placed a hand onto his cheek. "You, Ichigo, trust you with my life."

Hours Later

—

The rest of the day the two went on as planned, when they were finished with shopping, they went to the closest park and played chest for the next three hours. Rias and Ichigo were both equals at the game, the crimson beauty getting 6 wins, and the same went with the orange-haired teen.

When they left the park Ichigo walked Rias home, not wanting anything bad to happen to her. But throughout the day, only one thing was on Ichigo's mind, and that was how he would make one Rizer Phoenix suffer for what he did to Rias Gremory.

"Well, we are here Ichigo." The voice of Rias took Ichigo from his thoughts. He looked ahead to see Rias' house, but what he found was a small mansion, having what looked like ten rooms, with lights on in four of the ten rooms, and massive oak doors as an entrance.

He looked back to the beauty and smiled. "Thank you for a great day Rias." She nodded, and Ichigo went to leave. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow." But as he went to leave he was stopped when Rias grabbed his wrist and turned him around. "Wha-"

The teen was cut off when the lips of Rias Gremory connected to his, making him wide-eyed, and placed his hands on her waist. The crimson-haired beauty back away as she looked away saying. "Thank you, Ichigo." She then made her way to the mansion. Ichigo slowly nodded and turned to leave but as he did he felt two golden eyes glaring at him.

FlashbackOver

—

The scenes around the unconscious teen changed, where there was pure darkness, was now some light mixed in. But Ichigo remained unconscious, as the changes happened. He continued thinking about those recent times that made him happy.

But as that was happening something else was happening as well. One that involved a possessed body, and a transcendent man, one whose power surpassed that of a minor god.

Muken

Aizen stopped in front of the teen who he thought he recognized, but when he got there he didn't find who he thought he would. But instead, the teen was possessed, and it was noticeable by the purple and white that was on the teen who beat him.

Immediately Aizen watched as the possessed body stopped its rampaging and as it slowly turned towards the bind-covered man, and when it spoke, it was followed by a female echo. "Ohh look what we have here? A man whose power I can't feel or sense."

Aizen remained quiet as he watched as the possessed teen fully turned around, giving him a nice view of a slowly growing hollow hole. He also took notice of a very distinct broadsword in the teen's hand, which was coming straight for his head.

The man brought his hand up and caught it, making the possessed teen grin. "Oh, so a worthy opponent? This is worth it now." The female echo was insane, then brought up a finger, and brought it to Aizen's chest. "But you won't be able to stop me, Sosuke Aizen!" The teen yelled out and a dark purple and white cero formed and shot from the 'Ichigo's' finger, colliding with the man's chest, causing an explosion that covered the two in smoke.

The possessed Ichigo started laughing insanely, thinking it killed the transcendent man. But as it went to pull the broadsword away from where it was, there was resistance, which was followed by a chuckle. "You thought that would be able to defeat me? I am a man who transcended beyond your power." As the smoke slowly disappeared, a grinning Aizen appeared there with his free hand putting towards the possessed being. "So not even you, Ikomikidomoe, the hollow who defeated Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto in his prime, and almost devoured the Soul King. But I can't let you do that, not with that body, nor with his power."

The teen grinned. "You think you can stop me?" It grinned and yanked the sword from Aizen's grasp. The teen's skin started to change, and the purple eyes turned red and black markings started to appear across the pale skin. "You better hold up to what you say, Sosuke Aizen!"

As it finished a black coffin-like barrier appeared around the possessed being, and Aizen was grinning. "Hadō #90. Kuroshitsuji." But the grin flattered when the barrier completely shattered, a grinning, laughing, and possessed Ichigo stood there unfazed.

"That's pathetic! Is that the best you have, Sosuke Aizen? Well, it's not going to be enough!" Ikomikidomoe then vanished, within seconds Aizen followed, and the two started clashing.

Takamagahara

—

Somewhere in the heavens of the Shinto three pairs of eyes could be seen. One pair being orange, these belonged to the Queen of the Shinto, and the Ruler of Takamagahara, Amaterasu. She wasn't happy, the other two could see that, from the frown that dawned on her face.

One of the pair of eyes was purplish-red, and the owner was a short and petite woman with chin-length green hair. The last pair of eyes were large and amber in colour, the owner had purple hair that was tied back with a red ribbon. Both were wearing red and white miko outfits, one that had the personal sigil of Amaterasu, but what was more noticeable were the katana they had strapped to their hips.

"You might be wondering why I have asked you two, to come here," Amaterasu said as she looked at the two shrine maidens. "Well it's simple, you both have a bond with my son, and I need both of you to look after him." The goddess explained.

"Son? You have a son, my lady?" The amber-eyed teen asked. The girl could only think of one man with who she might have a bond, but to believe he was the son of the goddess Amaterasu… well that was too much. "What's his name, Goddess?" She asked, once her lady nodded.

"My son's name is Ichigo Kurosaki Shiba Naberius Lucifer. You both know him as Ichigo Kurosaki, and I want you two to watch over him and look after him. I trust you Senna and Nozomi Kujo, to love and cherish my son, for I can't when I'm stuck in Takamagahara."

Both girls went to their knees, and they both said at the same time. "As you wish, goddess. We are your eyes and ears when the time comes, and we do as you command." Both finished as they looked up, grinning at the thought of their orange-haired friend.

The goddess smiled and nodded. "Good, now you will need to start packing, for you are both moving to Kuoh Town, where you will enroll in Kuoh Academy." Amaterasu finished and waved them off. But the goddess didn't follow, she didn't leave the room and went on her day.

But what she did do was fall to the ground, as the only thoughts going through her mind are that of the pain her son is going through, and how no one was there to love him.

All Amaterasu could do was wait, as Ichigo's life was at risk. She wanted to help him but with the powers she holds, the power of the sun, Amaterasu could kill the son she loved, and she didn't want to kill the man she created and recently discovered loved, the goddess couldn't do that, not ever. So as her son suffered, she needed to wait until he came back to her.
