Enjoy. Feel free to review.

Yhwach hold his head in one hand with closed eyes and a small smirk on his face. He was pleased with. The turn of the events. The King opened his eyes and looked at one of his soldiers.

"So you said they finally appeared, Ivan Azgiaro?"

"Y-yes, Your Majesty!" The man said while bowing to the taller man who was sitting on his throne. "The Soul Reapers has locked him in one of the rooms in Fourth Division. There is some powerful barrier around and he has something that controls his reiatsu. One of the Captains, Kurotsuchi Mayuri, tried to separate his souls from his own but he failed and they had appeared in the room where Kurosaki was resting. I suppose if we go-."

"Ivan Azgiaro." Yhwach stopped him from talking. "Are you perhaps a prothet?" Ivan stopped breathing and looked at His King. "Answer... I just asked you... Whether you are a prophet or not."

"Ah... No, I'm not-."

"Then why are you talking about the future?" When he didn't hear answer, he added. "I want to hear about now."

Ichigo woke up to someone shouting. He groaned and tried to hide his ears before he would be too awake to go back to sleep again. But the shouting never stopped, he was sleepy and annoyed.

He massaged his sore arm and his head. Everything was hurting him, his mind and body had realized how hurt he was. But it wasn't something unexpected after all.

He noticed it didn't hurt like before. It was still hurting but not like he couldn't handle it.

Not having much choice, he got up and looked around for some clothes.

He found none that he haven't seen before. Just some Soul Reapers clothes. He choose one of them and slowly got dressed.

Instead of calming down, the shouting increased. He rolled his eyes.

"Bunch of animals..." He commented under his breath.

He noticed that two spirits were gone but he could feel them, they didn't disappear completely.

"Good thing you're still with me." He said aloud.

"You are never alone, Ichigo." The older man said. Ichigo couldn't feel more relieved.

He walked to the door and tried to open it without any success, he growled under his breath. He was getting hungry and frustrated, it was never a good combo.

"Hey! Open this door or I will open it myself!" He tried to let anyone hear him.

He waited a few moments but it seemed like everyone were too busy shouting.

"What should I do?" He asked but none of his spirits answered.

Ichigo huffed and took a few steps back. If they wanted to make him destroy this door then fine. He'll do it.

He ran into the door and fell down onto the floor.

"Definitely not one of the best dessisions, King."

"Shut up and help me!" He pressed onto the door but he froze. He closed his eyes and felt the energy seeping of the door.

It was like he was seeing it but without seeing it at all. Like it was... A living being, a being with a spirit.

"So it's not a normal door, huh? Maybe if I..." He focused his reiatsu in his finger tips and grabbed the handle. He almost shivered when he felt something grabbing him tightly. He slowly moved it to the left side then twice to the right. It responded by slowly disappearing but he felt like it was a bit disappointed? Ignoring his thoughts, he pushed the handle.

Ichigo slowly opened his eyes but nothing happened.

" What's wrong with that?!" He felt more than frustrated.

"It's an illusion, you moron. Just walk through it if you are brave enough to do it alone, you're such a baby." Ignoring that comment, Ichigo slowly grabbed the handle again and walked through the door, he was still holding the handle when he was on the the side.

"Thanks." He didn't know to who he said that but he still felt like he should. He looked on the left side of the hallway. He noticed a few Soul Reapers and to his misfortune, they noticed him too.

"Oi!" Someone with a red hair in a ponytail said, he didn't wait for them to react, he ran to the right.

"And how are you feeling, Tessai-san?" Urahara asked cheerfully. "You look like you saw a ghost~!"

"It's not the best time to joke around, Kisuke." The black cat answered him, after that the cat laid down and closed its eyes. "He's injured, what do you expect?"

"I'm fine." Tessai answered while rubbing his sore arm and reached for his broken glasses. "How is Ichigo-san?"

"Unohana told me that Orihime came to him first night and healed him. So he's as good as new!" The black man nodded but didn't lay down. "You can rest, my friend, we have to charge our batteries before the next fight with Quincies."

"How will we know who is the enemy and who isn't? Ichigo is a Quincy too and there are probably someone like Masaki who-."

"No need to worry, Yoruichi. We won't attack unless they attack us first."

"But what about the Soul Society? Do you think that they will stay neutral?"

"We've come to the times where no one can stay neutral." Urahara said and hid his eyes under his hat. "Shall we visit our new member of the family, Kurosaki-san?" He welcomed his old friend who was quietly listening their talk.

"I don't think he's ready for anything you want him to do, Urahara." He said.

"The truth is that no one is ready for what is coming our way." He opened one of the small boxes. "I think it's the right time to give it back to its owner."

Ichigo hid in one of the gardens he didn't see before. It was beautiful and he could see how much the owner or owners cared about it.

He walked deeper into the small forest. It was like he was in the different world, different dimension.

He sat down near the small lake on the right side of the garden. He straighten up and closed his eyes.

He fell into some kind of slumber.

"Ichigo, wake up, My Son." He opened his eyes. He silently watched as His Majesty ran his fingers through his hair, he closed his eyes for a moment. "It's time."

"Are we going to attack them now?" He heard himself say.

"Not yet." Yhwach said. "We have to prepare you for the fight." Ichigo nodded. He got up and let His Majesty lead him to one of the sparring room.

"What is your bow's name?"

"A bow's name?" Ichigo repeated. "Does it have a name?"

"Do not call your bow like it's a thing." Yhwach answered. "Your bow is a part of you, part of your soul and mine too. Knowing your weapons name changes it, makes it stronger."

"I'm sorry." Ichigo said feeling a bit of confused but ashamed at the same time. "So... How do I find its name?"

"You have to-."

Ichigo woke up when his back hit the ground and someone hold him down. He didn't have a chance to react when the sword almost pierced through his throat.

"What are you doing outside, Quincy?" The black haired man asked, his sword didn't move. "Why are you outside?"

"Loose up a bit, Byakuya, he just wanted to breathe some fresh air." Ichigo moved his eyes to the other man. "Oh, you probably don't know who I am." The man with a straw hat took away the sword from his throat. "I'll take him to my barracks." Ichigo watched silently as the man who almost murdered him disappeared. "Let's go, you're probably as thirsty as I am!"

"Who are you?" Ichigo asked when the man with a hat helped him get up.

"Kyoraku, one of the Captains of the Gotei 13. And you? Who are you?"

"You probably already know that..." Ichigo said and looked away.

"Maybe yes, maybe not." Kyoraku answered with a soft smile on his face. "So?"

"Just someone who you won't even remember or want to know."

"Oh, you're so mean!" He didn't sound like he was offended. "I must admit, I've never seen a Quincy before. But I don't think you are just like any other Quincy. So?"

"Kurosaki Ichigo." Ichigo answered. He didn't feel the tension anymore. It felt... Light. Easy going.

Almost...

Like home.

"Oh, Kurosaki senior! Hello, hello, tea, coffee, some sake?" Kyoraku greeted Isshin and Urahara. Isshin didn't listen, he just looked at the sofa where he noticed his son was sleeping on it.

After a moment, he noticed that Ichigo wasn't sleeping. His eyes were opened and they were blinking slowly from time to time.

He looked at Kyoraku with an angry look.

"Don't worry, I didn't let him drink, not even a drop! He just was so tired because he met Byakuya and you all know how he greets the people he didn't know. I really mean it." He said after seeing Ichigo's father face. "But I don't like what I feel from him, focus and you'll you'll know what I mean." His voice became darker and quieter.

Everyone focused on the 'sleeping' boy and after a few moments, they saw a bit of materialized reiatsu going from his body. They watched as it slowly began to fade and it finally disappeared.

"He's in his inner world?

"That's why Yhwach didn't follow us." Urahara said. "He'd already done what he wanted."

"What do you mean, Urahara?" Isshin touched his son's cheek. He got no reaction. "What's wrong with him?" He looked at hia friend with a worry in his eyes.

But Urahara didn't answer him, he walked to Ichigo and shook him awake. Ichigo seem a bit out of it but slowly he came back to reality.

"W-what? Where am I?" He grabbed his head with one hand. "I feel like I'm gonna throw up."

"We don't have time for that." Ichigo looked at Urahara, not understanding, "We have to teach you how to control your Zanpaktou."
