"So he lived through it, huh? That's a bit disappointing considering what he's done." Ichigo was again at Ukitake's house with Kyoraku.
"You shouldn't have done that." Ukitake said being worried.
"As much as I myself don't like Mayuri's actions, Ukitake's right. That was stupid." Younger of the three man sighed and closed his eyes.
"He deserved that. He hurt my family."
"Ichigo please." White haired man looked at him. "Urahara's in big trouble because of you right now."
Part of Ichigo was embarrassed that he let himself get loose but bigger side of him was cheering every time someone mentioned Mayuri. He felt proud of himself but stopped talking about it.
It was a nice day but it was raining whole day. He looked through the window but couldn't see much.
It was pouring.
"I have a bad feeling about this weather. Sure it rains from time to time but not like that..."
"Yes, hopefully you're wrong." Ichigo ignored small talk between the two and got up. He thought he noticed something in the water but he wasn't quite sure. Last time it rained like that...
"Excuse me." He said and they stopped talking. "Is it hard to break into Soul Society?" He asked, still looking at the weather outside.
"Do you think something's wrong?" Kyoraku got up and stood next to him and looked through.
"I know how weird it will sound but hear me out." Ichigo started. "When I was younger, many of Quincies were talking about Yhwach. I've heard many stories about it. Most of them were ridiculous, like he is god or something, but one stuck with me since I heard it."
His Majesty is the ultimate form of a justice, his words are sacred and should be taken with seriousness.
Every Quincy is created to serve His Majesty without a hesitation, even killing the loved ones.
Lower souls cannot disagree, no matter how strong they are, the blood within Quincy won't accept objection.
Every time His Majesty's heart beats, it forces lower beings to beat with the rhythm.
When His Majesty's heart stops beating, every being is obligated by nature to find the body and force it to beat yet again.
His Majesty cannot die unless His Majesty finds another King to rule them all.
"Is this possible... That if anyone kills Yhwach..." He looked at Kyoraku. "Me and others die too?"
He didn't get a response immediately.
It worried him.
"I fear we can't answer you." Ichigo took a deep breath and slowly let it go. "But-."
"Thank you." Ichigo stopped Kyoraku. He looked at him. "For trying to save me. And taking care of my dad. It really means a lot to me..." He looked through the window, now he saw it clearly. "But I fear it's time for me to go."
"Where are you going?" Ukitake asked. Ichigo grabbed the doorknob.
"Please inform other Captains that they be ready for a long and painful battle."
"Ichigo, wait-!" He heard noise around him but he ignored them.
"I feel him. Yhwach is coming to get me. It's alright. If he wants to fight, I am going to fight him. Please do not use Bankai, Quincies have an ability to steal them. Good luck." He run through the forest to the middle of Soul Society.
"If he wants to fight, I'll do everything to stop him!"
While he was running, he was talking to his only two friends.
"You're so weird. You're really going to fight for Soul Reapers? Pathetic, Ichigo."
"I have to." Ichigo said, rain was falling on him and almost blinding. "I have to save my friends."
"You're so generous!" He heard laughing. "And they what? Will lock you away after you're done with Yhwach?"
"They've had a choice to do that and what? I'm making my own choices right now."
"Ichigo..." He heard the second voice.
"I trust you guys. Please have my back while we're confronting him and his army."
"Please do not-."
"Zangetsu." He said his name. "I know you want to protect me from everything. I'm glad you care about me but it's not your choice to make. It's mine. I want to help them, I want to fight Yhwach. I know they don't trust me, I know it all!" He stopped for a moment catching his breath. "But I know how it feels to lose everything! I know it, I've seen too much death already! If I can stop everything, I will! Don't try to make me freak out right now, because it won't work!"
For a long moment, the only thing he heard was droplets of rain. But they didn't feel heavy like before. It was like it tried to make his moves faster.
He was ready.
"Wow, you made his shut up, congratulations."
"And what do I have to say to make you shut up too?" Ichigo smiled a little bit.
"I thought we were friends, I'm shocked." After a moment, the voice spoke again. "You know it's going to be hard and you'll probably loose, right? I don't care about all that 'honour' and 'sacrifice' like you do. If you die, I die and I'm not going to die today."
"Me too."
"You better take it seriously! 'Cause if you can't handle it and going to cry like a little baby, I'm going out and kicking your ass!"
As weird as it sounds, Ichigo felt relieved and smiled more. He felt good, because he wasn't alone anymore.
When Ichigo was taking his 'walk' to Soul Society, Ukitake and Kyoraku used Shunpo and told everyone what they've heard. Some were worried, some (like Kenpachi) were extremely excited about fight but everyone felt determinated to win.
Yamamoto went on the main square of Soul Society. Some Captains behind him, some already left to inform other soldiers.
Suddenly the rain stopped and the sky was ripped apart.
