Just a small side note. I class Ichigo's spirits as Kurosaki's as they are a part of him. This will be the same for other soul reapers such Sode No Shirayuki and Senbonzakura would be Kuchiki's.
Side note two. I have coloured the spirit ribbons (I believe that's what their called). Red is for shinigami and white for normal humans as in the anime/manga, Quincy's will have a light blue, Hollows will have black, gods gold and 'special' humans will have a light grey or light red depending on if they are a fullbringer or not.
I attempted semicolons. I tried. Please inform me if I have used them correctly so I can improve.
Chapter 12, I'm not anyone important!
This was an interesting circumstance. What interested him was Akira. He had become interested in him when Ichigo had informed him about the lack of power their King held in soul society. Then the man himself showed up in his room and says that he is missing large portions of his memory. But now he had information he had to keep it secret for his own life.
There was also the fact that Ichigo had somehow managed to get both himself and the soul King into a realm that they did not belong. Kisuke found the way they had ended their story a little suspicious; they had told him that they had come across no one else and that they just left when Ichigo had woken up. This went against the way they were acting. Those two were hiding something and he was going to find out what.
Kirio had threatened his life if he even mentioned the fact that they had come here to the soul society but not before he managed to question everything on his King who carried around nice cookies and takes naps in a strangers house. Hikifune had just put her hand on my shoulder and just shook her head.
There were no words to be said.
He left them in the room, Ichigo and Shiro half laying on Akira's chest Hikifune keeping watch, so he could go call Masaki to let her know that Ichigo was here, safe under his protection.
Maybe...
But today was important as they were going to try and teach Ichigo's friends a way to increase their reiryoku so they could start learning kido spells. Only bakudo for now as attack spells would be far to dangerous for kids their age. Hopefully Ichigo woke up by the time they showed up.
After making a phone call to a slightly worried mother and having been yelled at for not calling earlier, Kisuke managed to gain the privilege of looking after Ichigo for the entire weekend. When this had first happened Ichigo had just shown up after school on a Friday refusing to leave, Masaki had not been pleased that her son had been in his corrupting presence for more than one day. Then it happened again and again as Ichigo was incredibly stubborn; eventually she stopped complaining as Ichigo seemed to have gained an improved mood, there was also the added bonus of a free science teacher. Even if Ichigo had taught him just as much. According to Ichigo they had become good friends in his timeline so his scientific knowledge was far greater than anyone actually knew. Other Kisuke had also taught him how to hide his thoughts and feeling well with the art of thinking about how situations can play out in multiple ways.
Even if it had happened on accident, Ichigo had many of his personality traits showing how many years they had known each other. The Hybrid had been quite pleased to gain his first and main teacher back. I had been the last person other than Aizen to die in those wars. The only person alive able to help Ichigo in the final battle.
Going back to his room he gathered the items he would need for teaching the spiritually aware children then listened to Hikifune's request.
"Akira is probably going to sleep a while considering both he and the boy seemed to have not gained any sleep dung their little trip. As I can sense other people in this building could you attempt to build a gigai that would make him appear more... normal. Your a smart man I know you will be able to find a way around his reiatsu. Knowing him he will probably just hang around here for a few days regardless of what I say."
"Not a problem! After studying Ichigo I already know what I will need to do. Making a gigai for him will not take me any more than twenty minutes!" Normally something like this would take longer but he had already been working on something similar that could easily be turned into a gigai for the soul King.
"That's good to know, I can not be away for long as soul society will be able to sense me so I am going to head back. I'm sure that Akira will be safe in your hands!" The last sentence sounded like a threat.
"Ok! See you later."
With that she left and Kisuke went of to build a gigai.
After a few hours,
"Ya look like a child Akira!" Shiro had been mocking Tsuki for several minutes. He did in fact look like a child, with the glow gone he was left with pale yellow hair and surprisingly, bright green eyes. It was amusing how he had three people in his room that looked like children but were actually older.
"Fuck off!" He then proceeded to give us a pout worthy of a child. Everyone in the room burst out laughing; Ichigo had straight up fallen on the floor.
"Well I didn't just decide to torture you for fun! There is purpose for the... age of your gigai." Which was true, there had been many reasons for the child sized gigai. The first was that as a child Akira could hand around Ichigo without any suspicion. The second was that after some research on Ichigo and his other gigais Kisuke found out that the bodies of children could adapt to large reiatsu levels far better than adults, the secret to stuffing an amount of reiatsu so large that you couldn't even sense it into a body was to make it the same as a child's. Adaptable. Sadly Kisuke had yet to work out how to make this the same for an adult form. "Discomfort is normal as it is not the same proportions as your soul body."
"Yea yea, I know about the discomfort. For the previous statement im aware of that as well. It's one of the reasons I returned Ichigo's memories and full power at the age I did."
Well at least he was smart. Kisuke continued with the days plans which included teaching actual children and trying to turn Keigo into a shinigami, if this went the same as the last time, a vizard.
Keigo was going to be the hardest person to teach for one reason, in the past-future Ichigo had almost fully replaced Keigo's reiatsu with his own after an attack by the bounts.
When I asked him what the bounts were he said he couldn't remember, they were irrelevant.
But that meant that they had to create the same effect by almost killing the boy. Due to Shiro's nature of infecting people with hollowfication like a disease it was possible to awaken shinigami powers in someone that formally had no shinigami relations; Shiro had become a part of Ichigo, had become Zangetsu, he was now partly shinigami as well.
Kisuke was planning to drain Keigo's reiatsu to near non-existent levels which was highly dangerous then do the medical procedure of sharing reiatsu.
Which was why he needed the equipment.
"Hey, Urahara-san where are you?" It sounded like the kids were here if the voice calling for him was any clue.
"Im here!" He skipped into the room parading around with his usual goofy smile.
"Is Kurosaki-kun here?" Orihime was always first to ask about him if Ichigo was not at his own home.
"Ye aibou is 'ere." Shiro wandered into the room with Ichigo who was carrying Akira on his back, if Kisuke was to take a guess he would say that being pushed into such a small gigai was incredibly painful causing difficulties with walking. His pained expression from every time Ichigo moved seemed to prove this.
"Have you gained another friend Ichigo?" Yoruichi had not been informed about the soul king so she was just as clueless as everyone else.
"Yep!" Ichigo had answered instantly, it seemed that it was something that he believed himself. Akira looked surprised that Ichigo would think of him as a friend. He also apeared to be rather happy at the fact even if he didn't show it on his face for more than a second.
After getting over his shock the soul king introduced himself,"Hello im Akira Tsuki." He then ducked his head behind Ichigo's. The soul king was shy!
"Well then we can't hang around today lots to do!" With that Kisuke, Yoruichi and Tessai picked up the kid between them letting the two Kurosaki's make their own way own with Akira, AKA leaping from great hights while still in their bodys just to scare the shit out of Orihime because they still find that amusing.
"Kurosaki-Kun! Are you ok!" As seen here with her running over to them and patting them down as if they might be hiding injuries.
"Ay we're fine ge' of me!" After a few more pat downs she stopped.
"Oi Shi come here and stab Keigo for me would you?"
"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO ME!"
"Ya heard te man ima stab ya. Don't worry it won' do too much damage, ya will be fine a ta end of it." Once Kisuke had knocked the confused boy out of his body he then proceded to stab Keigo straight threw the chest where his chain of fate was then chucked him down the large hole. "Jus' a peice of advice from me! Ya remember wha' those ribbons were? Well shinigami have red, normal humans have white, quincy's 'ave light blue an' hollows a black one!"
"Kurosaki-Kun why did your hollow half do that?" Orihime was in a constant state of concern with the amount of things the Kurosaki's managed to cause with Kisuke.
No one mentions the incident with binbags, oxygen and acetylene. Not had caused all three of them to recieve a lecture from Masaki. That didn't mean that they stopped causing trouble.
"The reason Shiro did that will be found out in... three hours!" This was something he knew from experience, one of the things he was tasked with during the war was hollowfying the higher ranked members of the gotei, anyone with bankai and anyone beyond healing. Turns out that if you hollowfy someone near death they can sometimes be saved.
"Ok... if your sure Kurosaki-Kun!"
Once Akira had gotten used to his body they went and did whatever over somewhere else, fighting each other and trying to get Ichigo to manage kido safely. Yoruichi went and kidnapped Tatsuki once she realised that she liked hand to hand combat, Mizuiro ended up in a debate with Kisuke as he seemed to have a good brain in his head and Tessai dealt with teaching Orihime about reiatsu usage, defence spells and healing.
Yoruichi,
She was suspicious. Kisuke had been very friendly towards Ichigo's friend Akira who had appeared from thin air. She knew Akira was not in any of Ichigo's classes or clubs; the fact he could see her was also odd. He had no spiritual pressure at all but when he looked at her it felt like she had an entire hall of people focused on her, the same as Ichigo. As if his presence was something far more than his body showed.
Yoruichi had always disliked it when Ichigo put his focus on her, when he just sort of stared to the very essence of her soul to pull apart her thoughts and arrange them to what he knew.
He always found out what he wanted to know. She felt as if he knew more about her than she knew about herself.
It was different to when Kisuke used his scientific mind to pick apart her ideas or beliefs to see her resoning, when he did it he didn't do that stare, the one Ichigo did but not his spirits. The one his new friend was capable of. Where their eyes would just sort of focus and they just didn't blink.
Yoruichi had never seen someone other than those two who could go hours without blinking once they found something to focus on.
It was unnatural.
But back to Kisukes actions, the man had seemed concerned about the pain Akira had seemed to be in for around ten minutes that was so severe he had to be carried around. Her friend had given the small boy tea with his best healing and pain killer remedies in it, give away far more sweets to him than he normally would as to not affect someone elses child. Kisuke had dressed the boy in comfortable but expensive silks when the clothes he was wearing had gotten destroyed and even let him near his projects!
For some reason this boy got the same treatment as Ichigo had suddenly gained one day.
Weird.
"Yoruichi-sensai are you alright there? It seemed that little Tatsuki had noticed her distraction.
"Yes im fine just been thinking about something today is all." All of Ichigo's friends had also seemed to gain his good speach making conversation easier, their class teachers must have had to change their entire curriclum over the things Ichigo caused. She had witnessed conversations Kisuke and Ichigo would have over the Kurosaki dinner table shocking the entire table as they would move over so many different subject that no one was keep up with it.
It had become rather amusing to spark up some random subject and just let the two go at it. Some times they would just move into another language entirely. ALWAYS ONE THEY DIDN'T KNOW! If she had any say in it she would say that they were 100% hiding something. When she asked just how many languages they spoke they had just answered with "Many."
Helpful.
Had to be more than ten.
Everyone liked to come along and watch whenever they decided to spar. Where Kisuke was meant to teach Ichigo the job had already been done. Zangetsu had done a good job if Ichigo could wipe the floor with Kisuke's face. Ichigo was truely a scary boy; She would not want to be on his bad side.
"Yoruichi-sensei!"
"Ah sorry."
Keigo,
For once in his life he was a little angry.
No warning just stabbed and then thrown in a very large hole. Then he had been binded with Kido, thinking back to previous conversations about reiatsu he attempted to meditate. He had always struggled to sit still but if it meant getting out of the pit he would do it.
Keigo had not expected to feel a falling sensation and open his eyes to somewhere he had never seen in his life but somehow felt as familiar as his own home.
Gravity seemed to be a foreign concept as he was on the ground on a floating island with what appeared to be other floating islands. Some of them were upside down. When he threw a stone into the air it went flying upwards; when this was repeated the stone came back down so hard it dented the ground he was stood on. There were many things the islands contained: forests, mountains, villages, cities, water and volcanoes. In the air were orbs of water that floated around.
His head was a bit mad.
"Hello, it seems that I have been aided into creation by your hybrid friend."
WHAAA... NO. They did not.
"Who are you?"
"********* ******"
They did. Fuckers. Now he knew exactly where he was and who this person was.
"They fucking did it didn't they."
"Yup. Your not one for swearing..."
"I'm going to gut them, all three of them."
"Ok, i'm always here to help."
"Thank you."
His apparent zanpakuto spirit looked like someone had turned murder into a person and then taught them anger management and meditation. With wild shoulder length spiky brown hair and deep red eyes, the man had a strong build and a hole going straight through his chest. His clothes looked as if they had been shredded and then been thrown into a puddle of mud, blood and other things he looked completely mad.
Except for the fact he looked like the calmest man to exist who was sitting down properly making tea... he looked over at me and smiled nicely, it was not a Shiro smile but a genuinely nice smile.
What in the name of everything spirit related had the world handed him this time.
Come sit with me we have some time before we are forced to act, you found your way here rather quickly we might as well have some tea.
"...Sure..."
Fuck this.
Akira,
He had been surprised when Ichigo had so quickly said that he considered him a friend, it had sounded honest to, as if he had never thought anything else. For some unknown reason this had caused some sort of warm feeling in his chest, he found that he liked it. Labeling it happiness he stored it in his memory, he had experienced this feeling more than once since meeting Ichigo.
Ichigo's group seemed nice, many spiritually aware humans and people he had witnessed be unfairly exiled. He had always wished that he could have done something about what had happened that day, he had tried as well. Never would he admit to the hidden money and food left behind, addresses of places with cheap fee's for staying and newsletters and history books on events that had happened in the world of the living. To going down to soul society once and tampering with files when they had almost been found within their first year of exile.
For all that he was a King he had no power over his people.
And his guard knew, they understood his quiet fury, his anger. They had the same feeling as he did. The uselessness of being unable to do anything.
For reasons he could not remember he knew there was consequences for going against the rules that had been set. By who he did not know. But he was aware of what they were.
The gigai that had been made for him still hurt, lances of pan shooting through his nerves at every small movement. But it was far better at least now he was capable of walking by himself and after a few more minutes, fighting. Urahara had kindly handed him one of his experiments he called a zanpakuto gigai. A gigai that allowed the full use of a zanpakuto while one was still in their body.
Unless the zanpakuto belonged to either himself, Ichigo or the Soutaichou Yamamoto. Not even Shikai was possible. Oh well he at least liked the feeling of his own sword in his hands, a part of his own fake created soul.
Ichigo had always been one for family, not a surprise considering he is a Shiba, always protecting them and thinking of them first, accepting the small pieces of affection he was given and giving bored looks at his fathers antics.
There were times Akira wished to know what it felt like to have family.
He quickly rid his head of depressing thoughts for he was with Ichigo. Right now he was having fun.
Akira most certainly did leap at Ichigo at the sound of an explosion and he most certainly did not cling to him like a frightened cat. " The hell was that?!"
"That, was Keigo. I should probably run."
With a completely flat voice he stated,"He tries anything and I will gut him with my hands." Which was honest, now he had a friend nothing was getting to him, he would quiet happily kill his army first.
With a small chuckle he received a couple of pats on the head and a,"Im sure there will be no need for gutting people but i'm not the judge of that now am I."
He carried on clinging to Ichigo.
"Guess your staying there?"
A nod.
"Though so." Ichigo somehow managed to shunpo without falling over to the added weight on one side.
"ICHIGO! WHERE ARE YOU AND SHIRO I AM GOING TO GUT YOU TWO."
"NOT IF I GUT YOU FIRST!"
Ichigo just sighed at them having nothing to add to their argument. Everyone else in the room tried to calm it down, other than Urahara, he seemed to be forever on Ichigo's side.
"YOU TRY ANYTHING AND I'LL PUT YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BASEMENT!"
"AS IF YOU COULD! YOU COULDN'T EVEN WALK HALF AN HOUR AGO, ICHIGO HAD TO CARRY YOU AROUND!"
Tsuki then proceeded to grab Keigo by the ankle, throw him into the basement wall and then reattach himself to Ichigo.
"OW!"
Ichigo looked down at me with an amused expression, "Really?" Once again he sighed and then laughed a little.
"He was going to attack you... he deserved it." Akira mumbled.
"Right. If you say so."
Tatsuki watched with just as much amusement as Ichigo; it was not often that Keigo was angry, perhaps never. But unlike Ichigo she was also concerned. "Try not to kill him we have to go to school on Monday." She looked sad as if this school was a bad thing.
"Eh, he'll be fine."
For the comment Ichigo received a raised eyebrow and a,"Well unlike you we can't stay for long so we have to go. See ya on Monday."
"See you."
During the night in the guest room,
After talking with Kisuke it was decided that they would share one of the rooms in the shoten in case something happened. He did not want to risk upsetting squad zero.
The lights had been turned off; they were both tired. Looking over at the dark shape that was Ichigo he asked what had been on his mind during the day. "Hey Ichigo, you speak of this place you call school. What is it?"
"Education hell."
"Why do so many people go there?" I was genuinely confused, the only thing that he knew of that was called a school was the academy in seireitei (whatever it was called he would never remember). But it seemed that unlike the academy children were required to attend it.
"Because it is illegal for children to not attend unless they are homeschooled otherwise I would have freed myself a long time ago. It is a place to learn, it's where we learn how to speak, write, do maths and about the world."
Akira could make sense of why he called it a hell now, he had already attended school. Had already had the same classes with the same teachers and the same lessons. It must be boring.
"Your required to go?"
"Sadly yes."
"Could you tell me what you do in a school?"
A look from Ichigo showed that he knew exactly what he was planning. With that he started his explanation.
Stories of the weekend,
Urahara,
He was just minding his own thing when there was a knock at his door. "Can I come in? Its Akira."
"Sure!"
Akira walked in and whispered a request for me, "Could you forge some documents?"
Ichigo,
Akira had never been in a normal kitchen before, he asked for a drink and I had answered with, "There is probably something in the kitchen."
After ten minutes had passed I decided to go look for him.
I found Akira sat on the floor with his head on his knee's.
"WHERE ARE THE CUPS!?"
"In the cupboard."
"WHAT ONE!?"
"The kitchen cupboard."
"FUCK YOU TO!"
Akira,
Ichigo had taken him to buy something known as a milkshake. He also bought me cookie dough, chocolate, many sweets and clothes that normal people wear.
We had left the shopping the centre we had two pairs of sunglasses, many hair ties, one hoodie, three jumpers, two pairs of trousers and five tops. There was also trainers, socks, a wristwatch, gloves, scarf, hat and sleeping clothes.
Ichigo carried all of it ignoring all the weird looks we got from literally everyone else.
Kisuke was then forced to organise it all while we filled the dishwasher with normal sink soap and turned it on. Geta-boshi had to clean up all the bubbles that caused; the entire road had been filled with the things.
Ichigo, Monday, School,
It was a normal day of school after a not so normal weekend. Or so I thought.
"Hello! We have a new student today, one of Ichigo's cousins is going to be staying for a while so he is joining this school for a temporary amount of time."
Wait what? Since when...
"Hello im Akira Tsuki. Its nice to meet you all." He sent a chilling smile in my direction promising hell if I said anything.
It was definitely a perfectly normal Monday morning.
By the end of the day the teacher was on the verge of a breakdown. Both Ichigo and Tsuki was far to much for her to handle on her own.
How did he get away with calling himself Ichigo's cousin,
One thing that was well known was that Akira Tsuki, the soul King, looked like a Shiba; it could be debatable that he was actually related to them as he had given large portions of his power to the first Shiba.
It was where the common large amounts of reiatsu came from.
Perhaps Tsuki could get away with calling himself Ichigo's brother without suspicion?
Shopping centre,
He had almost managed to lose Ichigo twice with the size of the place. Everyone there did not notice the two 'children' so they kept walking between the two.
"Hey Ichigo?"
And he lost him.
Send help.
Kisuke hates sugar highs,
When the two adult looking children had come back from their shopping trip he could instantly tell that they had eaten a lot of sugar. They had been running around; the soul king ordered him to organise all of their shopping! Then they caused a bubbly mess.
He hated sugar highs.
"Geta-boshi can we stick pink unicorn stickers all over the house of that grumpy old man next door?"
"Leave me alone!"
"That means yes!"
"No!"
They would kill him before Aizen could get to him.
Clingy Tsuki,
Tsuki had glued himself to Ichigo.
Literally.
After several hours he had gotten bored of having to carry around Tsuki so he grabbed some glue and glued himself to me.
For fuck sake.
He wasn't so bad though...
Uryu and Tsuki,
"Cousin, I am your only cousin. Your only living one that is. Who is he?"
"He's not my cousin. just leave him to it. There is no stopping him."
Uryu just stared, he knew that I could stop him if I really wanted.
Oxy-Acetylene,
Kisuke and Ichigo waited. They had gotten a bin bag and filled it with oxygen and acetylene. When everyone was inside the Kurosaki house for their annual meet up they held the lighter under the bag and ran.
Those inside the house did not know what was going on, all they had heard was an explosion. So had the rest of the road. Everyone was outside.
If you mix oxygen and acetylene and heat it up it explodes.
Kisuke and Ichigo made sure before hand that no damage would be caused.
Eh, That was long. I tried new things, I probably failed.
See ya in the next chapter.
