My Path

Ichigo's Inner world
Unknown 00:00

With Ichigo still resting in the med bay, his mind was sent into his inner world. The dust in his body has succumb his mind into retreating from the little sparring match between himself and Pyrrha Nikos, of course he made sure that he took a dose of his medicine but for some reason; it didn't work and accelerated his illness.

"Back here again?" He looks ahead of him and sees multiple buildings being surrounded by clouds, "Guess the dust in my body sent me here." He places his hands into his pockets.

He was used to being sent here whenever his illness has made him weak he would use this time to gather whatever data he remembered of creating a medicine for now. Of course each time would have to be different when trying to find some ingredients that come from different parts of the world but it would prove no challenge for Ichigo.

Sitting on the edge of the building he was on, he gazes at this huge world of his, thinking of what this journey of his. From a gifted young hunter in training to now a former terrorist/killer, this was one crazy 17 years of living on this planet.

"Ichigo." He turns his head around to see Summer Rose standing behind him.

"Hey Miss Rose." He greets the former huntress as she takes a seat next to him. "Any idea on how my body going to last?" He asks her.

"It's still in the early stages, even though its been 5 years since you got infected Ichigo but it's starting to change." Summer said to the orange haired teen, "It might change throughout this year."

"So I got one year?" He asks her as she nods her head, "Damnit..." He hits his fist onto the cement rooftop, "still not enough time."

He knew that he wasn't going to live enough when he got infected but to think if this is the final year of his life, he needs to speed up his plans.

"Who do you think has the best chance of surviving?" Summer raises an eyebrow to his question, "Remember what Cinder has in plan right?" She vaguely remembers what Cinder was planning couple of years ago, "Out of all the students that are in Beacon, who can prove to be the most powerful one besides me?"

This made Summer have to think. Since she is Ichigo's eyes and ears whenever he isn't paying attention, she can see the potential in the students Ichigo has faced or can feel based on their aura.

"Well there's Jaune with his untapped potential and his team." Summer said out loud as she tries to think of other possible students, "There is also my daughters Ruby and Yang, her friends Blake and Weiss. Your teammates Erza, Matoi and Lucina, and your old friends, Kitana, Chun-Li and Kayle. They have the potential to survive this upcoming world panic. "

"I see..." He looks at his right arm and sees the veins slowly reaching to his deltoids. "Then I have to make sure they live throughout this year and teach them the skills needed to beat Salem." Soon his veins on his face started to pop out, "I knew that one day I might not make it since the day I got this new arm." He moves his arm around, trying to make sure that he still has control, "If I don't live sometime in the year, I might have to teach them."

"You sure that you can teach them in your condition Ichigo?" Summer asks the orange/white haired teen. There is no doubt in her mind that Ichigo can but with his illness now taking effect, she has some doubts that Ichigo can teach them.

"I'm sure Summer. If there is a chance for the world to see the light, I might as well play my part as the mentor that Ozpin has talked about." He then stands up as part of his hair slowly begins to turn white partially, "Salem and her group are very dangerous and all of them aren't ready, let alone Cinder." Ichigo stated to Summer as he started to grow a horn from the right side of his face, "I accept my fate and become a demon to Salem and I might as well become the Reaper she has created."

"Your willing to put everyone on the line Ichigo?" Summer says worryingly to the Soul Reaper, "Even if that means putting your lineage to extinction?"

"There is still another Summer but she doesn't know. The only male Soul Reaper won't make it but she will make it through, thus the Soul Reaper's will still live on but the Quincy lineage will be extinct."

"You don't think of trying to repopulate?" Summer asks him as he mainly shrugs.

"If I were to get people pregnant, I need to make sure that it isn't just to repopulate my kind. I will only think of doing 'the deed' is mainly based on.." He then faintly blushes as he remembers a certain girl's feelings for him, "Love." Summer raises a smile to hear that from Ichigo.

"Oh so you do know?" A whimsical smile appears on her face, "Aw Ichigo is in love." She teases the student and pinches his cheeks.

"OW!"
