Right I don't function on schedules so there may be days where I post three chapters or a week where I don't. I just can't follow a schedule so don't try looking for a pattern of when I post or anything like that. You will not find one. By the way I don't actually know what Masaki is skilled and not skilled at in the quincy department I had just read somewhere that she was good at blut.
"Shiro-Zangetsu"
"Zangetsu-Ossan"

"People mind talking to their zanpakuto"
"The average hollow speaking"
Chapter 6, No one knows what to do with you,
Ichigo, At the area where Soken trains people, (I will call this The outdoor Quincy training grounds in the future),
Ichigo was actually quite pleased with himself, his mother was alive, so was Shinji he was there he could have died dammit! He was about to receive his first actual quincy lesson. It was going to go badly he knew it, it was the reason why even the best kido users had given up training him. His long standing enemy control.
He was currently standing next to Soken, who was his grandfather, he had never been told this before! Ishida was his cousin and they were going to train together. Ichigo had been given a quincy uniform because he was still part quincy so he had to have at least one. He had managed to find one that had a similar coat to his bankai with the long sleeves and the long coat in general. He didn't have to wear whatever it was Ishida had worn that almost got him killed in the also wore boots that came up to just below the knee and it wasn't as uncomfortable as previously thought.
Shiro was not happy because he didn't like quincy's and Ossan was ecstatic because he was a quincy and Ichigo had never bothered with quincy training before.
"Your actually going to bother with control Ichigo and quincy powers! Why would I not be happy?"
"By the way don't quincy's require those little bracelets that have the crosses on them?"
"You have one on your sword Ichigo."
"Oh."
Soken didn't say anything when I jumped out of my body using one of the gloves I had been given and removed the cross from his sword handle. Uryu did however have something to say about this.
"Kurosaki! What are you doing here? Why do you have a shinigami uniform?"
I then got back in my body. That was in a quincy uniform. I didn't say anything I just looked at him.
"AND A QUINCY UNIFORM! Grandfather I would like an explanation."
"He is your cousin Uryu and he will be joining us."
"We're cousins!? What about the shinigami clothes and the whole being out of your body thing."
This was hilarious but it was going on for to long."My mother is a quincy and my father is a shinigami, are you capable of being calm."
"CALM? How does that even happen? This is too much information."
"I haven't even told him i'm part hollow yet." He said this in an emotionless voice, he was having too much fun.
"HOLLOW!?"
Uryu passed out.
"Well..." He stood there and rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, he didn't expect that.
Uryu, Out doors Quincy training ground,
It was too much. The person who he had only rarely spoken to was his cousin, that was not just quincy. Shinigami and hollow! Ichigo quickly mastered Blut Vene and Blut Arterie which were techniques favoured by his mother who had a lot of skill with the technique. At the same time he had also inherited his mothers skill with a bow which was, it will take a while. Aided by his monstrous reiatsu and poor control his cousin was not capable of manifesting a bow. At all.
He was just not pulling on the reishi he kept trying to form a bow using his own power."Kurosaki you keep pulling on your own power! Use the reishi! What's in the air!" They had been here for half an hour trying to form this god damn bow and Uryu had stopped trying to be nice unlike Soken who was still somehow calm.
"How?"
"Can you even sense the reishi in the air?"
"No." Wait. Hold on a minute. He couldn't sense the reishi.
"What was that?"
"I can't sense past myself, I can only sense signatures that are either powerful or very familar. So I can sense Soken and your father because they are strong and I can sense my family because they are familiar but I can't sense the average person at all."
What. Either his cousin was very powerful (which he didn't feel powerful he couldn't sense him at all) or he was very good at boasting.
"What do you mean your own power you don't have any!"
At this Ichigo looked at Soken, who nodded, then he found himself on the floor unable to even breathe.
"You see Uryu your cousin Ichigo has so much of his own power that we are incapable of sensing him."
"Oh.. ok." He may have been quiet but inside his head it was very loud. His cousin was so powerful he couldn't be sensed. He was some sort of strange hybrid and his control was shit. This was the known information on Kurosaki Ichigo. It scared him.
"Uryu how about we give Ichigo a break you manifest your bow."
Some time later, same place, Soken,
Ichigo had manifested a bow. Sort of. It had no shape and it was huge but he could shoot arrows from it.
They were strong arrows he ended up blowing a large hole in the floor. Then I got to experiance what he had said earlier about exploding bows because the thing did explode. When I looked back at the boy he was on the floor and it seemed that the explosion had knocked him out. A large portion of his clothes were gone and his arms were burnt badly. He was about to call Ryuken to deal with it when this white substance appeared on his arms and completely healed them.
Part hollow, instant regeneration. At least that meant they didn't have to make a hospital trip every time this happened.
"I think we are going to end todays training."
"I think that sounds like a good idea. Is he ok?"
"You saw the white substance on his arms?"
"Yes, what was that?"
"Instant regeneration."
"He can heal himself that quickly without even trying!" Uryu had a look of awe on his face. It made sense considering the boy had healed himself in his sleep.
"Yes. You go home while I take the boy to Urahara"
"Ok."
At the Urahara Shoten, Urahara,
He was in a very good mood. Ichigo who had been kept away from him most of the time was finally making a trip to the shoten to do training.
He was running a little late though.
When he showed up he was still in his quincy uniform that looked suspiciously clean and new for Ichigo to have been manifesting bows.
"Hey geta-boshi. It took us a little longer because I had to get another set of clothes."
"You did? What happened?"
"Bow went boom."
"You don't have any injuries."
"I know your smart geta-boshi so think just what exactly I am."
This boy had instant regeneration! Even the vizards who had been training with these powers for the past 100 years hadn't managed to get it to work properly.
"You have instant regeneration!"
"Yes i'm part hollow why is everyone that finds out so surprised?"
"Yes but the vizards..."
"Are locking away part of their own souls and dealing with the hollow situation completely wrong and there weaker for it."
Wait what. Is this child trying to say that my 100 years of research is wrong! That there is another way to deal with inner hollows that grants more power.
"The're suppressing their hollows are they not?"
How did he know this? "Yes they are."
"They shouldn't. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it is their zanpakuto spirits that are hollowfied."
Once again, where was he getting this information? "Yes it is."
"Their zanpakuto spirits who are a part of their own souls. They are locking away a part of their own souls you can't do that."
Is he saying to befriend the hollow. Hollows. You kill them not befriend them.
"But it's a hollow!"
" An' 'ere kingy don't 'ave any problems wit' me now does 'e."
"YOU LET YOUR HOLLOW MANIFEST!"
"Yes? Did what I just say go straight over your head?"
"It would probably be best for you three to go further inside with this kind of conversation." How long had she been there? She being one of his best friends Yoruichi. She was in her cat form sat on the top of the counter.
"I think that is a good idea Yoruichi. Come on Ichigo."
I was even more surprised when Ichigo sat down and his hollow just fell asleep against him. Ichigo didn't even react as if this was a common occurance.
"Why? How? It's a hollow! You kill hollows!"
That earned me a very chilling glare. How did this child pull of something like that? He had alot of hows and whys today.
"You try anything with him and I will kill you."
For some reason it felt as though the boy would and could follow through with that.
"Ok, I wont do anything." He put his hand up in surrender. Kisuke wanted to be on the hybrids good side not his bad.
"Good."
"Have you had any practice with those swords of yours?"
"Lots, I spar with Zangetsu."
"Would you like to show me this?"
"Sure."
Without even me telling him to he jumped out of his body as if it was something he had done for years.
Down in the underground training basement, Urahara,
"I WONDER HOW SUCH A LARGE SPACE GOT UNDER HERE?"
"You build it thats how." Ichigo seemed very unimpressed. How sad.
He pulled his sword out of its cane sheath but did not release it. This was only a boy.
Ichigo did the same. Before he could even say start Ichigo was gone from his sight.
"If your just going to stand there this wont be any fun." Behind me. The orange haired boy had managed to get behind him, he could feel the two swords pressed against the side of his neck as if to decapitate him. Ichigo was skilled.
He went after Ichigo who seemed to be incredibly bored as he was daydreaming while still blocking each of his blows. Urahara wasn't even holding back on his speed.
"Benihime!"
His sword changed and Ichigo then started to look interested in the fight, he pulled out of his inner hollows crazy grins.
They went on with this for two hours before stopping.
"How... is it ...that you are able to fight so well?" He was completely out of breath. It felt more like the boy was here to train him and not the other way around. His clothes were sticking to him because of blood and sweat and Ichigo looked as if he had just done a quick jog to the shop down the road. Which meant he looked perfectly fine. Other than the blood on him which was more mine than his.
The blood didn't seem to make him uncomfortable which was odd.
"That's a secret."
Man was it hard to get any information from this one. During their fight it had not felt as though he was fighting a child. He was very skilled and ruthless. He had no problems with harming or potentially killing a person. I was in worse shape than the kid who had managed to poke several holes in me with those swords of his. I had managed to get a few scratches here and there and managed to stab him properly once. Then it had healed. This was unfair. He didn't even release his swords!
"Well how about we learn some kido then as you have nothing to learn in the stabbing people department."
"Well I guess your basement is going to get an extension then." This was going to be real fun wasn't it?
After several hours and Tessai's help later we worked out that it would be best to teach the boy some of the higher level. They taught him Hado 88 without an incantation. If he did use the incantation they would not have a basement roof anymore.
"Do you understand how this works?"
"Yes."
"Me and Tessai are going to stand behind this barrier while you fire that Kido."
"Ok." Ichigo faced away from the barrier protecting the two men and separated his reiatsu correctly only getting the shinigami part."Hado 88 Hiryu Gekizoku Shinten Raiho!"
He had underestimated the power behind the non-incantation kido spell. There was a crater several football fields in size in his basement and the barrier they had built was completely destroyed. The roof was in threat of caving in and had to be reinforced with kido by tessai immediately.
"Did I perform that correctly?"
"Yes. Yes you did."
Training, training. Urahara tried to train Ichigo and fails miserably. Other than the Kido. That went great. Could you just imagine a nine year old boy shooting a massive death ray capable of that much power when he wasn't even putting his full power into it. Just think about it.
See you next chapter!
