Hey guys, Flipkicks here and bring you a team base idea for The Reaper of Beacon. Thank you guys for checking out the story and what you all thought of the previous chapter and thought of an interesting idea for this chapter as this part of Ichigo's past with his previous affiliation with Cinder and Adam. I also wanted to show some part as to the Cinder X Ichigo romance in the story.
I do not own neither series.
The Reaper's Past
Part III: Adam and Cinder
Ichigo's Room: 8:00 A.M.
Ichigo was finally sleeping after playing his tune on his keyboard, he finally was able to sleep for once with Weiss sleeping on his comfortable couch. It has been awhile that he was finally able to sleep peacefully as he was lying on his bed. Ichigo was playing his keyboard for the past 4 hours of songs he heard as a child growing up with Glynda and his time on the road with Amber.
When he was playing his song: Brave New World, his mother was the one that introduced him that song. He was around probably 10 years old when Glynda first played that song and she began teaching him that song until he was able to memorize the song when he was 13.
After falling into a deep sleep, Ichigo began remembering what his life was as his 'alter ego' during his years traveling.
Ichigo's Dream
1 year ago
"Are you ready Kurosaki?" Said a tall man with red hair that spikes backwards in a windswept way. While most of his hair is red, a portion of it in the back is brown. A noticeable trait of his appearance is the mask he wears, which obscures his eyes and upper face. His Faunus heritage appears to be that of a bull, as two horns can be seen on either side of his head. a long-sleeved black trench coat with slit sleeves and more red designs and a white symbol on the left side. His trench coat is red on the inside with red flame-like accents at the bottom and a large emblem on the back, with a white tulip design covered by a red rose design. He wears long black pants and black shoes that are red on the bottom, and black gloves with more red emblems on their forehand, appearing to be a variant of the ancient letter Ω (Omega), the last letter of a forgotten alphabet and lastly, he wears a black belt with white domino marks on it. His appearance generally consists of black and red, similar to the color scheme used by Ruby Rose.
"The main question should be you." Ichigo replies back as he materializes a similar sword that the person in front of him currently wields, a sword and a sheath that he calls it, Wilt and Blush.
Blush serves as a sheath for Wilt, and Wilt itself can be shot hilt-first out of the barrel. When Wilt is unsheathed, Blush's stock becomes more angular and shorter while the barrel extends, holding greater resemblance to an actual rifle. Wilt's blade is red and is roughly average in length.
While Blush's stock is a dark red, the rest of its components are gray. The stock itself is rather long when compared to the rest of the firearm. The side of the forestock is decorated with Adam's "Wilt" logo. As Wilt covers and blocks the barrel of Blush, Blush is unable to fire normally until Wilt is unsheathed.
"Since we've been fighting for the past couple of hours and when I touched both of you weapons, I was able to copy it." Ichigo says as he spins the sword unsheathed around his right hand, "You should know that by know Adam."
The man in front of him is Adam Taurus, the leader of the once radical group turned terrorist group of Faunus's that seek out Faunus's right. How the two of them meet is unknown to most but it was all thanks to a common 'ally' of both of them.
Adam takes his stance as he prepares for another sparring match against the teen as did Ichigo, who places his left hand on the swords handle.
"Ready..." Ichigo slowly unsheathes his sword by 2 inches.
"Set..." Adam too slowly unsheathes his sword by 2 inches.
"GO!" Both of them went at each other. They were at full throttle and were trying to get that one scratch that can turn the favor into their respective hands. One move after the other, each of their strikes won't be able to touch each other and the sheer force of their attacks was creating a 12 foot radius open space.
However, Ichigo was being observed by the person that drove him into being possessed, Cinder Fall. She was the person that made him like this: cocky, arrogant, and smug. She was loving it that she completely flipped Ichigo's personality from what she originally saw in him.
'Didn't think he was like this.' Cinder thought to herself as she continues observing the sparring match, 'A Soul Reaper and Quincy fell in love with a Maiden...'
From what her two 'loyal friends' have been gathering about him: He has been traveling around with the Fall Maiden for a couple of years now and the two of them were falling in love with each other. She was his world and only wanted to make sure that nothing has happened to her. Her 'loyal friends' also spotted the two of them walking somewhere close to the place where the Fall Maiden would lose some part of her powers to Cinder.
After that, Ichigo started to lose his way and want nothing but to get back at the group of people that attacked him but his mind weak at the time started to fall from grace and was 'possessed' by his inner demons of not protecting her.
'His Semblance is very odd...' She has been wondering why Ichigo has been using other weapons that his right arm has touched. 'No human or Faunus should be able to do that but why him?' She sees both Ichigo and Adam landed on the ground hard after both striking each other with very similar moves. 'Why isn't he using his Zanpakuto?' She questions him in her head as the two men continue on with their sparring match.
"Getting slow Adam." Ichigo said arrogantly towards him, "Your suppose to be skilled as a Hunter but not like this." He mockingly said towards the Faunus in front of him.
"You!" Adam started to get annoyed with Ichigo's cocky attitude and charges right at him but Ichigo used the demonic spirit to block his attack and grabs his body, squeezing him into submission but Adam wouldn't give up as he tries to break loose but Ichigo wouldn't let him.
"Sorry Adam," Ichigo spoke in his unusual echo-like dark tone as his eyes were completely red, "Struggle all you want but there's no way you're going to escape from its grasp." Soon part of his skin on his face started to turn black.
"Bastard. I give." Adam submitted in their sparring exercise as Ichigo retracts the spirit back into his body.
"Good choice." Ichigo said in a monotone voice as his eyes begin to turn back to normal. "Now that we're done here, good day Adam." Ichigo excuses himself from the arena and leaves the space, leaving Adam alone, trying to think of ways to defeat the orange haired teen.
'I can see why he's valuable to our cause. For a human that is.' Adam has been wondering why Cinder wanted him to be part of the cause and he wouldn't approve of another human to be part of the White Fang but after their constant sparring matches, he is far valuable to be in their cause.
Cinder however saw the whole fight with a whimsical smirk on her face, her beloved showing the power of a demon inside of him, along with his new Semblance powers. There was something indeed in him that she couldn't help but enjoy this new personality that has enveloped within him.
"Hands up." A voice said in a hush tone, "What are you doing Cinder?"
She shakes her head as she turns around and sees Ichigo pointing his double barrel revolver at her. "What? I can't see what my beloved has been doing up until now?" She brushes the gun away from her as she closes the gap between her and Ichigo, "I don't see why you tend to disappear on me."
"Because I also need my own personal space, Cinder ella." He said her 'pet name' that she hates so bad. As both of them gotten closer once she changed his mind, Ichigo came up with the name Cinderella or Cinder ella that was once based on a old book of their past 'childhood' as he calls it. It was not based on the similar name but a black tattoo of what appears to be a pair of high heel shoes placed sole to sole, forming a heart shape inside.
"You seriously need to drop that." She demanded as she is now inches away from her beloved.
"Or what may I ask?" He dared her to do anything.
"You honestly think I may do something?" She questions him.
"I won't but can't say for my demons." She looks back and sees the gun being hold by Ichigo's right demonic spirit arm. "Your move."
She then captures his lips with her own, silencing him.
Ever since she did something to his mind, there was an unusual sexual relationship between the two of them. They started to become much closer and there was lust between the two of them. It was mostly based on the lust for power that surrounded the two of them.
Ichigo lifts her up as she wraps her legs around his waist, she was about couple inches shorter then him (even with her heels on). They ended the quick kiss as her amber eyes look at his brown eyes.
"You want to continue on with this session, my beloved Big Boss?" She question him as he rubs his hands on her thighs, loving his touch.
"In private that is." He answers her quietly as both of them would then disappear into a private area, unknown to most of the other rebels to their cause.
Present time
Ichigo soon woke up from his short nap and sees that it's about 9:00 now, almost time for their classes to begin for the day. He rubs his eyes and wonders who might this Cinder person is or the Adam guy as well. The dream wasn't as detailed as he wanted to be but he can sense they have to be here in his mind.
'Was I really like that?' He questions himself as he prepares to dress himself in his student uniform, 'Hey Summer, was I liked that?' He asks her.
'Unfortunately Ichigo, I couldn't reach you back then. There was something in your head blocking me from reaching you.' Summer stated as she appears next to him.
'I see...but who are they?' He was still confused from the weird dream that turned into a 'erotic one'.
'I'm still wondering on that Ichigo but I'm sure that the memories will return to you.' She reassures her 'son' as Ichigo took another dose of his medicine.
'I hope so too.' Soon he disconnects with her as he rolls up the right arm of his uniform for his unusual right arm. He turns his attention to the sleeping Ice Queen in Weiss Schnee on his couch. "Oi Ice Queen, wake up." He begins to shake her until he got punched in the chin from Weiss unconsciously. 'For a girl her size, she packs quiet a punch.' He said in his head as he rubs his chin.
"5 more minutes..." She mutters out loud as she hugs his couch pillow, still sleepy.
"School starts in 5 minutes." She instantly wakes up and rushes the hell out of his room, 'Well not really but hey that'll work.' He only shrugs as he places his three guns on his sides and behind him and prepares to start the day.
And that ends the chapter guys! Again sorry for making a short chapter but I did want to make a small chapter on the relationship with Ichigo and Cinder. While it may not be a full glimpse to that dream.
I also would like to make an announcement regarding the 'sequel' that you guys have been asking me though P.M. about that and I would like to say is that there isn't going to be a sequel to the story until RoosterTeeth makes the final volume of the series and I do not know when that might happen. It might be the next one in volume 4, 5 or 6 but who knows. For the end of the story, I do have plans on a epilogue chapter on the future setting many years after the events of RWBY.
I won't be spoiling the end idea I have planned out for the story. I hope to hear what you guys think of the chapter so far and as always, I'll talk to you all later.
