Shinji,
After the soul King left the original shock that allowed them to survive the past few minutes wore of leaving a group of fairly shaken individuals.
"What." Came from the first of the group to regain some of their brain functions, Ryuuken.
"Whaaa..?"Even Hachigen had lost all coherent thought and thrown grammer out of the door.
Then Sakanade gave her input,"What?"
"Time travel I guess?" But what else was he meant to say about this because there was nothing he could. There was so little to say at this very moment Hiyori had stopped her rant on Ichigo's tendency for saying cryptic things courtesy of the older Zangetsu spirit. Then again all of the cryptic sentences made sense now. "So... Anyone know what to say about this?" Shinji was at a loss after all.
"It's Ichigo what do you expect. We shouldn't try to find logic for the things he does as it will only cause harm to our own brains."
"Thank you Lisa for the input."
"Your welcome Shinji."
Then he made a decision that he was pretty certain that the rest of the group had also made."So who else is up for murder? I at least want to have a go at Tosen. Bare minimum."
"Why not. Are we doing this before or after I find out what Ichigo just apologised to be for?"
"After."
Masaki, Soul Society,
Her son was most certainly insane. Shiba trait obviously. Looking over at her husband she witnessed his usual madness as he harassed the local rukongai citizens, many slowly stepping away from the exuberant former captain. She walked over to him and quickly saved the poor group from him. "Come on now we have places to be. Family to meet. No need to embarrass the girls."
Yuzu was wearing a quincy uniform but with black in place of white to show how she was a hybrid of both shinigami and quincy. Her sword was held at her side in her belt and the Shiba family symbol was embroidered into one side of her coller and carved on her sword sheath. Karin had taken to a shihakusho with a light blue shitagi. She also had the shiba family symbol carved into her sword sheath and was also found at the two ends of her obi.
"We have more cousins! I must cook for them sometimes! Oh Kaien would be so happy to see them again! It's his younger brother and sister right?" Yuzu had always loved meeting new people, especially family. Her children knew very little about their shinigami family and so when they had been told that they would meet the Shiba's they had been incredibly pleased at the idea. Yuzu was definitely the most pleased out of the three, Ichigo hadn't been that bothered and Karin had done her usual I look like I don't care but I actually do.
Masaki had long since stopped trying to find out what had been bothering her son since he was four as he was not going to share. He was incredibly stubborn and smart. He had placed far to many of Urahara's tricks up his sleeve for her liking. Masaki may not be the best at figuring out hidden intentions but she wasn't the worst. She was suspicious as she wanted to know what the hell was going on. The two sat in corners as muttered to each other with small glances to anyone else in the vicinity. Ichigo even had a fan! Oh when she saw that she was overwhelmed!
"Ok I have gained directions so of we go before they hear that we are here!" Yoruichi, who had taken her cat form, was gathering everyone together to follow her on the path towards the latest location of Kukaku Shiba.
The longer they walked on for the more she worried that they were lost. They had definitely been walking across paths that were most certainly not walked on often, the girls were thirsty from walking in the hot sun for several hours but Yoruichi insisted that they were headed the right way. "How much longer are we going to be walking for? Today is rather hot after all."
"Do not worry Masaki for we are here." One paw was raised in the direction ahead of them.
It seems they were here for Shiba's where crazy, they all were and this house could only belong to a Shiba. The huge arms towered above the house holding up a sign.
She would have been lying if she wasn't even slightly afraid of dealing with any more than Isshin and Kaien.
"I refuse to enter that building." For once she could almost agree with the young quincy boy for this was a bit much.
"Oh it's not that bad!" Said Keigo and Orihime at once.
"Yes it is! Look at that poor design! I must help them when they next design something like this! This house has a statement and it is the wrong one! Awful!"
This was going to be a long day. Taking the lead she headed towards the house. When she was almost to the door two men appeared speaking in unison,"Who dares to trespass here! You should leave at once!"
"And here I made all the effort to come here and visit my family! Only to be turned away! Koganehiko, Shiroganehiko, how cruel of you!" Isshin made his way forward as they would not stop anyone that was traveling with him. "How about you let us see Kukaku now?"
"Isshin! It's you! I apologize for our rudeness we will take you to her now."
Then they entered the house. The doors opened directly onto a staircase leading to underneath the house leaving the actual building unaccessible.
"We will let you in now." Kneeling onto the floor something-ganehiko (whatever one it was) opened the door.
"ISSHIN!" An incoming foot hit the man square in the face causing his head to impact the wall.
"Now i'm sure this is deserved but I would prefer it if you didn't cause any serious injury to my husband yet. We have things to do." She then proceeded to extract the man from the wall.
"Understandable, i'm sure my beating can wait a little longer..." Kukaku then processed what Masaki had just said and the Shiba family symbol that could be found on the clothes of the two youngest of the group."Wait. HUSBAND? And who are these children? Explanation please."
"Mom im sure goat-face will survive his trip into the building." Karin then put him back into the wall using her fist as the tool to do so.
"Hello Shiba Kuukaku I am Kurosaki Yuzu, that girl there is my twin Karin and this is our mom. Her name is Masaki. We do have an older brother and his name is Ichigo." Yuzu held out her hand showing her exceptional skills is being polite. Far more Quincy in her than the girls two other siblings.
A blink or two and Kukaku managed to respond to the ball of kindness that was Yuzu."Nice to meet you to."
"Now all this is nice but I believe that we have actual business here?" Came a female voice. Female meaning that Yoruichi was once again standing around naked. Many members of the group had since become immune to such a thing. Other than Uryu who will forever blush and freak out at the sight.
"Please will you get dressed Shihoin we do not need to see any of that! And Kojima don't you dare say anything." The former stealth captain pouted but complied to his request and got dressed.
"Spoil sport."
Ichigo,
"I have lost count of the amount of times I have fallen asleep by myself and woken up with you laying somewhere nearby." He had not yet bothered to get up and instead laid his arm over his eyes to protect himself from the cruel thing known as light.
"Shu'up. Don' wanna wake up." When the soul king was actually tired and not just lazy all grammer is thrown straight out of the window despite how often his own was commented on.
"I can tell. But why are you so tired?"
"Dunno, find ou' later..." Ichigo then sat up to stop Tsuki's journey towards the stone floor. "Than' you." Tsuki then squished himself behind Ichigo in order to not fall.
"So your just gonna lay behind me then?" To answer he just put his hand down Ichigo's shihakusho. "Fu..uck. why the fuck are you so cold! You feel colder than Rukia! Are you alright?"
"Do you have an issue with my former wielder?"
"NO! Definitely not! Just concerned is all!"
"Dunno wha' caused it bu' im tired an' really cold." Akira was never this cold. Actually he always had a high body temperature compared to your average person.
"And you say I make you concerned. Well.. come here." Ichigo quickly wrapped him up in a blanket, pulled him against his chest in the hopes of warming him up and called for Kisuke.
"Oi geta-boshi get your ass over here you are needed!"
His arrival was sounded by his usual geta, it seemed that Shinji had also been dragged along. "What the apparent emergency Ichi?"
"First of please stop calling me that Shinji. Second we have some sudden health issues that no one knows the cause of." Before Kisuke could even ask Tsuki appeared from the bundle of blanket Ichigo had been carrying and slapped him on the face.
"Heavens you are freezing. What the hell?"
"Dunno, I wanna sleep." He then proceeded to wrap himself around Ichigo and go back to sleep.
"Someone's clingy."
"Hush."
"That's the problem. Wondering if you knew what the hell just happened?"
A few pokes to Akira and Kisuke stood up properly snapping his fan closed and took on his thinking pose tapping the fan on his chin. When he finally stopped he looked at Ichigo and said,"I have absolutely no idea but I do suggest keeping an eye on him."
Wonderful. Not even Kisuke knew.
"Your oh so great assistance is greatly appreciated." Ichigo said sarcastically. This was joined with an eye roll.
"Well im sorry!" For this Ichigo kicked the man in the you know what you know where as hard as he could.
"Meh. You got a heating system here or something? Never asked before."
Geta=boshi answered from his place on the floor,"Yes. Now you get some more sleep, I feel like you need it far more than Akira-sama here does." With that Kisuke walked out of the room to turn on his heating and do whatever it is he normally does when he's here.
"Ima fall if ya don' lay back down Ichi." And so Ichigo was on King watching duty.
"Not that this is highly amusing to watch but don't we have things to do, people to save and all that."
With a dismissive wave of his hand Ichigo reassured him,"Don't worry I have spent the past eleven year making plans upon plans and the past six years talking to Kisuke about it. Be patient Shinji." He then put his head back on his pillow and went to sleep before Hirako had the time to blink.
Masaki,
After spending a day on learning how two create a solid sphere using reiatsu Kukaku gathered everyone into a room to inform everyone as to why they had just spent so long doing this.
"So reasons?"
Kukaku grinned at her in a way that sent shivers down her spine (and she had met Shiro. She considered him to be one of her children after all)."Well what i'm going to do is shoot you out of a cannon straight into seireitei!"
"YOUR GOING TO DO WHAT? Actually no, you are a Shiba as my cousin is so im going to guess that you are both equally nuts." By the end of Uryu's little rant he lost steam and sat down on the floor and put his head onto his knees so he didn't have to look at the world.
"Wonderful! Now we all agree as to how this is going to be done we may now proceed. Please enter the cannon, there is a lot of you so it will be a tight fit. Ganju will be accompanying you." They waited for the floor to rise after an impressive display of stamina by the clan retainers then walked into the cannon just barely fitting everybody inside."And go!"
Within a few seconds the group gained a rather beautiful sight of soul society then they hit a barrier of some sort. The loud crashing sound of seireitei's walls falling down into place could be heard, this caused ganju to mess up with the kido incantation.
"a thousand ashes, a thousand wisdoms, the measure of white clouds, tread not on the scarlet light that embraces the moon.. the measure of whi... Oh I just said that! Well shit grab the closest people to you I guess this is going to be a bumpy ride."
When this was heard the group was suspended is the air still for a few seconds then violent winds quickly started to push everyone apart. Listening to the advice given people quickly grabbed on to as many others as they could.
"Uryu grab on! Isshin! Can you reach the girls?"
"Oh for... No!"
"I'll go with them just throw me over there!"
"Ok Uryu you look after them!"
"Ok! Inoue here!"
"Ganju your with us!"
Then they were thrown all across seireitei.
Kukaku,
Well now the they're gone. Hopefully they don't get themselves killed just after she found out Isshin was alive that entire time. just after she settled back down in her normal spot four presences made themselves known.
"Well it certainly has been a while since I last saw you Shiba." In front of a very familiar face appeared a fan.
"Yes it has, now what do you want you never come here just for the purpose of seeing me." Kukaku looked at the group of four. The first was Kisuke. The second was someone who looked to have some Shiba traits with long bright coloured hair and green eyes. The third was wearing a cloak so she couldn't see their face or body. The last was someone with orange hair, brown (or was that gold?) eyes and looked quite exhausted. "You. Are you Ichigo?"
Saying that seemed to have some sort of effect of the man as he took a sharp inhale of breath and quickly walked out of the room. If she listened in properly she could swear she hear sobbing from the other side of the door.
"Don't be too harsh on him. It's been a long day."
"Who are you?"
"... Akira Tsuki, Soul King."
"... Huh."
The now named Soul King walked out of the room in search of Ichigo and the muffled sound of crying seemed to die down.
"So... You're probably wondering what's going on so prepare yourself for some things. First thing that was Kurosaki Ichigo and unknown to his family he time traveled to stop everyone from dying in war. The Soul King also came back with him."
In her state of shock Kukaku numbly accepted everything she was just told without being overloaded. It would probably affect her later but for now she was just going to accept the time travel and the fact the Soul King himself was in her home along with talk of war and mass death. All was good.
For now she would just listen.
"And I don't even get a hello sister? I have been forgotten!" The cloaked figure took of his hood and that was... Kaien. Wha... Ok. Was that a hollow hole and mask fragment?
"Oh hello Kaien."
"Oh and i'm an arrancar now."
"Ok."
Yeah. No, this was two much for one day.
Haha poor Kukaku, Vizards and other group members. I make them suffer.
Sorry about the amount of time since my last update.
Please review? I love reading them.
See you in the next chapter- Luna
