Four Years Later

"Yoruichi, I'm going to go hang out with Uryu today!" Ichigo said as he was about to leave the shop.

"Alright, you two have fun Ichigo!" Yoruichi yelled from the back of the shop.

Ever since Yoruichi made her promise to him, Ichigo's attitude changed drastically. He started to talk a lot more and even started to question just what it was that he turned into that night. When he asked that question at dinner one night, Yoruichi nearly choked on her rice ball. Kisuke was more intrigued to find out more about all Ichigo could do, while Tessai wanted to know just how powerful Ichigo was. Yoruichi was apprehensive at first, but eventually her curiosity got the better of her. They started training Ichigo's soul reaper powers and were even able to get him to summon his zanpakuto. It took Ichigo only a few months to learn its name. Then when he explained to Uryu that he had Quincy powers as well as soul reaper and hollow powers, Uryu brought him to his father and grandfather so the two could train together. After four years of training, the two were equals in power with their Quincy powers. They've trained long and hard to become stronger and have become best friends in those four years.

"We will!" Ichigo yelled back as he went out front where Uryu was waiting for him. He was wearing his Quincy uniform.

"Hey Ichigo. You ready for some sparring?" He asked with a smile.

Ichigo smiled and then took out a mod soul candy and ate it. His soul left his body to show his soul reaper form. He had longer hair that was tied up so where it only went to his upper back, he had two zanpakuto. A short, white and blue sword with a blue handle and guard to it that was strapped to his right side, and a massive black and red cleaver with red bandages wrapped around it. Ichigo looked at him and smiled again. He turned back to Kon.

"Okay Kon, me and Uryu are going to go train in the forest. Don't do anything weird while we're gone okay."

Kon nodded to him and walked away back into the shop. Ichigo looked back at Uryu and asked with a devious grin. "Wanna race there?"

"You know you're faster than I am Ichigo." Uryu started with a frown. "But eh, why not."

And just like that, Uryu was gone using hirenkyaku. Ichigo gasped and used his combined flash step hirenkyaku combination to get to and pass his cousin. They ran across rooftops until they were finally in the forest. When they landed, Ichigo immediately drew his short sword with his left hand and flashed away from Uryu. Uryu smiled when Ichigo reappeared far off and got into his stance. Ichigo's stance was a variation of Kisuke's fighting style in zanjutsu and Yoruichi's style of fighting in hakuda.

"Ready cousin?" Ichigo asked.

Uryu drew out his bow, a large symbol like blue bow that had white highlights of energy around it. "Ready."

As they stared each other down waiting for one to make a move, Ichigo's smile widened as he rushed over toward the full Quincy. As he did that, Uryu smiled and fired a torrent of blue and white arrows at Ichigo. The blue arrows were normal, but the white ones would explode on contact, a little trick Uryu learned when he absorbed a small portion of Ichigo's spirit energy. Ichigo hopped into the air to avoid the massive torrent, but Uryu simply aimed higher at him, causing Ichigo to dodge a few. Just when a barrage of white arrows were coming at him, Ichigo smirked and raised his short sword into the air. An orange energy started to engulf the blade and Ichigo grinned as he shouted out.

"Mikadzuki o nensho!" A large blast of orange energy flew from out of Ichigo's zanpakuto and collided engulfed the arrows inside of it. The barrage exploded inside the orange energy and the orange ball disappeared.

"Already using Bakuhatsu-tekina yajirushi huh?" Ichigo asked as he stood in the air, his grin getting wider.

"I knew you would use Mikadzuki to stop it anyway, so why not see if you can really think on your feet Ichigo." Uryu said with a smile as he drew his bow.

The bow in his hand started to become engulfed in white and as he fired his arrow, he said, "Konzetsu shimasu." The white arrow became large and Ichigo knew he would have to use his other zanpakuto to defend himself from this attack.

Ichigo sheathed his short sword and drew his cleaver, the red bandages unwrapping from it. He raised his cleaver up and a black and red energy started to engulf it as he brought it down. "Getsuga Tensho!"

The energy collided with the arrow and a large, blinding flash engulfed the area. When the two could see again, Ichigo dropped down and landed in front of his cousin. They both smiled at each other as Ichigo placed his cleaver onto his shoulder. They walked off back to the shop completely unaware that they were being watched by one of the local soul reapers stationed in Karakura Town. To his surprise, he not only saw an incredible display of power from two children, but he also knows that the one with glasses is a Quincy while the other is something else entirely. He followed the two just barely able to keep up with them, until they arrived at the shop where both Kisuke and Yoruichi were waiting. The soul reaper instantly recognized the two former captains and knew he had to report this right now. He left through a senkaimon and ran to his squad.

Squad 6 Barracks

Byakuya was walking along the squad six barracks along with his lieutenant, Renji Abarai. They were about to be on their way to a captains meeting to discuss recent fluctuations of heavy spirit energy in the world of the living until a squad member approached them with urgent news.

"This had better be good to delay our arrival." Byakuya stated as he never liked being late to captains meetings.

"Yes sir." The squad member started as he bowed. "I've found out what the fluctuating spirit energy is coming from sir and where it is."

That instantly caught their attention.

"Explain to me, right now." Byakuya started, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Several Minutes Later

The captains were standing in the meeting hall still awaiting one last captain to arrive before they could start. Many of them were getting very impatient, especially the head captain. Just as he was about to bang his cane so hard on the ground that it might crack, Byakuya came inside and went into his position as if nothing was wrong.

"Captain Kuchiki!" The head captain nearly shouted. "Is there a reason that you are late for this urgent meeting?"

Byakuya stepped forward and spoke. "As a matter of fact head captain, there is. On of my subordinates has located the source of this spirit energy in the world of the living as well as two or possibly three exiled traitors to the soul society."

Everyone in the room were surprised and confused at what the stoic captain said, but they were drowned out when the head captain banged his cane down.

"Go on."

"He has informed me and my lieutenant that this spirit energy is resonating from two children with high spiritual pressure." Byakuya said.

There a few snickers at just how preposterous that sounded.

"Byakuya," Ukitake started. "Your subordinate can't really be serious that two children possess that high amount of spirit energy do you?"

"That sounds too far-fetched, even by my standards." Kenpachi stated.

"Two children possessing that kind of power can't be the exact same as the one felt all around the Seireitei four years ago." Aizen started. "Your subordinate must've been seeing things."

"That is what I thought when he told me, but then he told me just where the two boys went to after they were done sparring from what he could tell." Byakuya said without changing his expression.

"Who exactly were they going to then?" Soi-Fon asked, still not believing anything that Byakuya was telling them at this point.

"Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihoin were there." Byakuya said earning many gasp from most of the captains. "One of the children went to Yoruichi almost as if that was her child of some sorts."

Soi-Fon was absolutely livid at this point. Not only has her own personnel goddess been found in the world of the living by a no named soul reaper, but she also had a child possibly from that crazy scientist. The very thought of it almost made her want to vomit.

"Head Captain," Soi-Fon all but shouted out and stepped forward. "With your permission, allow my punishment force and myself to apprehend the two traitors along with the two children."

"That will not be necessary." Kurotsuchi started as all eyes were now on him. "After their escape over a century ago, I've developed a way to neutralize the three of them without any physical contact needed. A special type of kido that gradually suppresses a majority of their reiatsu within a confined space."

"And you have developed this kido for that long for the sole purpose of defeating your predecessor, am I right?" Kyoraku said as he tipped his hat to hide his smile at his own accuracy.

Kurotsuchi didn't respond to what the old captain said and instead directed himself back to the head captain. "If you allow me to bring a small force with me, then I can capture them with my kido in only a few hours, give or take."

"Fine then." The head captain started. "Then captains Kuchiki and Soi-Fon will accompany you, along with lieutenants Abarai and Kuchiki. You are to bring the traitors back with you. If the two children are there, then you will bring them here as well. This meeting is dismissed." And with that, the head captain banged his cane down and the captains left.

As they were leaving, Soi-Fon was stopped by Byakuya.

"I certainly do hope that you won't let your emotions cloud your judgement when we find the."

Soi-Fon looked at the man with a look would've had anyone else cowering from her. Byakuya didn't even flinch.

"I don't want to to hear it Kuchiki. Just make sure you stay out of my way when we capture them. Yoruichi won't get away from me." Soi-Fon said as she turned and walked away.

Back In the Shop

It was a fun time for everyone inside the shop today. At least for everyone who wasn't Kisuke. He had created a brand new invention, which he had named a 'Portable Gigai', to help when he didn't want to do things, but so far they just kept blowing up in his face. They were all in the underground training area under the shop. Uryu and Ichigo stood next to each other and laughed as the third portable gigai once again blew up in Kisuke's face, taking most of his facial hair off this time. Yoruichi had been laughing at her friends constant failures next to Ichigo, while Tessai just stood there and shook his head in disappointment.

"Okay." Kisuke started in between coughs. "This time, I know it'll work."

He pulled out another and looked back at the group before he hesitantly blew into the tiny black orb. This time though, it actually worked. There stood another Kisuke that wasn't disheveled looking. Everyone looked at the gigai in amazement that it actually worked this time around. Kisuke couldn't contain his excitement at his success. He was almost jumping for joy until he got an alert on his phone of a powerful hollow. He checked it and sighed when it was a mass of hollow downtown.

"Well looks like that could be troublesome." He started while everyone else was wondering what was wrong. "Looks like a bunch of hollows are appearing downtown. Kinda strange."

Ichigo and Uryu looked at each other and gave each other a grin.

"Me and Uryu can take care of them." Ichigo started. "Since they're all small fry we can take care of it."

"And it's also not far from the hospital." Uryu started. "After we're done, we can go by and stay with my father until he's done with his shift tonight."

Kisuke brought out his fan ,which was tattered up now, and tried to open it up in front of his face. When all he received was more laughter, he dropped his head down in defeat and said, "Well Ichigo, if Yoruichi's okay with it."

Ichigo looked up to her and did his best puppy dog look. It didn't work as she simply looked at him with a grin that said 'You're gonna have to try harder than that.' Ichigo thought for a quick second, then remembered he was still in his soul reaper form. He untied his hair and let it all fall to his lower back. He looked back at her with the same look only now his hair made him look even cuter in her eyes. Yoruichi caved and knelt down to hug him.

"Just call when you're at Ryuken's, okay?"Yoruichi loosened her hold as did Ichigo and he smiled at her.

She tied his hair back up and hugged him again. After that hug, Ichigo and Uryu made their way back up the ladder that led to the shop and they ran along the rooftops to get to downtown. Once there, they noticed at least a few dozen hollows just standing around, not much of anything. Ichigo and Uryu were confused at this and were about to attack until Ichigo heard one of them talking.

"Man I can't believe this shit."

"Uryu," Ichigo stopped his cousin.

"What's wrong?" Uryu asked him.

"One of them just talked." Ichigo started as he leapt down in front of a strange looking, panther like hollow with piercing blue eyes.

The panther hollow looked at Ichigo and scoffed. "So, you're the one this guy us wanted to draw over here, huh?"

Ichigo couldn't believe what he was hearing, a hollow that was speaking to him in an almost normal sounding tone. Usually most hollows are very straightforward with Ichigo and only want to devour his soul, but this one was speaking to him as if he had no interest whatsoever.

"Who are you?" Ichigo asked with wonder in his voice.

The panther hollow scoffed then sighed, almost as if he didn't want to talk to the kid. "The names Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez kid."

"Why are all of you here Grimmjow?" Ichigo asked with a slight irritation in his voice this time.

"Cuz he told us to come here so you two wouldn't get snatched or something." Grimmjow said with annoyance in his voice.

"Snatched? What do you mean snatched? And who was it that told you to do this anyway?" Ichigo was starting to lose his patience at this point and his spirit energy started to slowly flare up.

"Take it easy kid." Grimmjow stood on his paws and stood right in front of Ichigo. "This guy is a soul reaper, and a very powerful one at that that can make us as hollows stronger. All we had to do was come here and make sure some other soul reapers didn't take you two along with those others or something."

When Grimmjow mentioned others, Ichigo's eyes widened in horror as he looked in the direction of his home and focused. He could feel very very faint traces of Kisuke's, Tessai's and Yoruichi's reiatsu. He also felt three captain class reiatsu and two lieutenant reiatsu.

"No." Ichigo started as he began to breathe erratically.

"Ichigo," Uryu started while grabbing his cousins shoulders. "Calm down and tell me what's going on."

Ichigo took a deep breath as he looked around and noticed all eyes were on him. He looked back at his cousin and sighed. "Yoruichi and the others, they're gone."

"Alright, then it's time you two came with us." Another hollow started, but this one looked different. She stood on two legs, had a shark like mask covering up most of her face, and she had short blonde hair. "You have to come with us now. He'll be expecting you."

Ichigo looked up at her and couldn't control his need to at least try and save his family. He leapt into the air to the surprise of everyone, especially his cousin. Ichigo moved at full speed to get back home only to see some kind of barrier around the shop and five soul reapers he had never seen before. The five were walking Tessai, Yoruichi and Kisuke into a senkaimon, but right before Ichigo could even shout their names, a hand covered his mouth and pulled him out of sight. Ichigo looked over and saw that it was that female hollow from before. Grimmjow and Uryu were also there right behind her. Ichigo couldn't escape her incredibly tight grip on him and so he was forced to watch as another family of his was taken away. When the senkaimon closed the female hollow let Ichigo go and he turned toward her with both sadness and rage behind his eyes.

"Why did you do that?! Why did you stop me from saving my family?!" Ichigo yelled at her.

"Because you getting captured is something we were told to prevent. If you would have been down there, then you be in the same position as those three." She said in a sympathetic tone.

"As much as I don't want to admit it Ichigo, she is right." Uryu said trying to calm his cousin.

Ichigo knew they were right, obviously, but there was no way in hell that he would just let his family be taken away from him again. He didn't know how he was going to do it, and he knew this was definitely not a smart idea by any means, but he was going to save them by any means. Both Uryu, the female hollow, and even Grimmjow could see a look of determination in his eyes. It was a look that Uryu has seen plenty of times, and look could only mean one thing.

"You're planning on rescuing them aren't you?" Uryu sighed.

The female hollow and Grimmjow couldn't believe what they just heard, and they were shocked when Ichigo nodded to his cousin to confirm it all.

"Whoa whoa whoa, hold on one fuckin second!" Grimmjow started as he stood in front of the strawberry haired boy. "We came here to make sure the soul reapers didn't take you, and now you're goin to their turf for those three?"

Hearing Grimmjow refer to them as 'those three' flared Ichigo's reiatsu to extreme levels. Both Grimmjow and the female hollow were both down on the ground struggling to breathe. How could an eleven year old have this crushing amount of spirit energy was beyond them. Uryu wasn't effected whatsoever. Instead, he was taking this time to absorb some of his cousins released energy into hi own reserves.

"Let me tell you two one thing that you would very beneficial that you remember." Ichigo knelt down to them and his eyes slowly changed to a blood red and pitch black color. The look he gave the two frightened them more than the soul reaper that was ordering them around ever could. "I refuse to let my family be taken away from me again. Now I'm going to the soul society, and I will save them. Whether whoever it is that's been ordering you around likes it or not."

Ichigo reigned his energy back in and the two immediately stood up when the boy stared them down.

"Then I guess I'll help you out then." Uryu stared, getting Ichigo's attention. Ichigo wasn't all that surprised, after all, him and Uryu have been inseparable for four years now. "Can't have you going into enemy territory all by yourself now, can I?"

Ichigo nodded and they were about to go and find the local soul reaper to force him to take them, but they were stopped by a certain voice.

"So, you two expect to simply waltz into Seireitei without some sort of plan?"

The two boys turned around and noticed Ryuken standing behind the two hollows with his bow drawn.

"Dad?"

"Uncle Ryuken?"

This got the hollows attention and they went into their fighting stances only for Ichigo and Uryu to stop everyone at once.

"Wait dad, they're not here to attack us. They were sent here to make sure we didn't end up captured as well."

Ryuken looked at his son then at his nephew. He sighed in annoyance and put his bow away.

"I felt their reiatsu flare for only an instant, then they were gone." Ryuken started. "I may not know much about the laws in the soul society, but I do know that when it comes to treason, the punishment is death by the Sokyoku."

"Is there any way we can get in and stop them?" Ichigo asked.

"Not that I know since you two aren't on their side. They won't let you two in, but." Ryuken started as he pulled out a cigarette. "Isshin always told me of his family that was still in the soul society."

That statement made Ichigo's jaw drop and his heart skip a few beats. Uryu noticed his expression and nudged him to bring him back.

"I have family in the soul society?" Ichigo said when he regained himself.

"Yes. Isshin told me that he was never always Isshin Kurosaki." Ryuken lit his cigarette. "It was Shiba. Isshin Shiba, former head of the Shiba clan and former captain of squad ten. His sister is Kuukaku Shiba. If you want her help getting in, then only need to tell her who your father is and who you are and hopefully she'll help. As for you two." Ryuken looked back at the hollows. "I will allow you two to live if my nephew and son choose to."

The two hollows looked at the two boys with near fear of what their choice would be. In hindsight, they did basically force Ichigo to watch his family be taken away, and on the other hand they knew that if he wanted it, they'd be dead already. Ichigo walked up to the two and stopped in front of them. He looked at them with a scowl and sighed.

"I won't kill you two." He started, causing Grimmjow and the female hollow to let go of the breath that they were holding. "But," That caused them to tense up again. "I want you two to help me save my family."

The two had no idea why this kid was so menacing to them. Was it his overwhelming energy? Was it the look of power shown through his eyes that enticed fear? Or was it just his commanding presence that made them nod to his request? When they did that, Ichigo looked at the woman and had to know a certain question that has been bothering him all night.

"What exactly is your name anyway?"

"Tai Halibel."She responded as quickly as she could without her fear showing.

Ichigo smiled and took a deep breath. "Then Tai, Grimmjow, get ready for a little upgrade of sorts."

Ichigo drew out both his cleaver and his short sword and brought them together. At the very sight of his weapons, both Tai and Grimmjow tensed up for the umpteenth time as Ichigo started to chant out loud.

"Take life and own it as your own, give life and watch flourish, destroy life and watch it tremble, Hofuku Tsuki!"

Ichigo was engulfed in a large, orange spirit energy with a blue outline all around it. The pressure was immense as his shikai was revealed to the two hollows. Ichigo now had one blade in his hand instead of his two from before, and his hair had long black streaks along the top and ends of it. His blade was now a long, thin white blade with an orange edge and a black handle with a white guard to it. Ichigo looked back at the two and raised his blade to the two hollows.

"Never tried this out on a hollow as strong as you two before, but I might as well give it a try." Ichigo gave a grin to the two. "Kaizen Shimasu!"

An orange energy swirled out of Ichigo's zanpakuto and went straight to Tai and Grimmjow. The orange energy engulfed the two and encircled them at intense speeds. The pressure was once again immense and the two Quincy could feel the incredible amount of spirit energy inside of the energy, and they could tell that the two hollows were now something else entirely. The ball of orange energy dissipated and the two hollows that were standing there before now looked completely different. Grimmjow was no longer a panther anymore, he was a man in a white outfit that had an open jacket. He had no shirt under the jacket and had a very muscular body. He also had a fragment of his mask on his jaw. He also had blue hair that matched his eyes. Tai was no longer a shark type of hollow. She also stood in a white outfit similar to what Grimmjow was wearing, only hers had a top that covered her breast and arms. She had a mask fragment on the side of her head that went down her face and stopped around her jaw. The two looked at each other then back at themselves in awe and amazement at what this boy did to them. They felt faster, stronger, more powerful and they no longer felt that gnawing hunger for souls anymore.

"What did you do to us?" Grimmjow asked as he looked at Ichigo.

"My zanpakuto, Hofuku Tsuki, has the ability to change the amount of reiatsu in a soul and convert it to a brand new form if I choose so." Ichigo explained as he placed his zanpakuto on his shoulder and grinned. "In my shikai, Kaizen Shimasu, I can change the reiatsu composition to increase it or decrease it as long as the soul has its original reiatsu. And that means I can change a hollow into something even more powerful than any hollow."

The two former hollows were completely stunned by what they were turned into. They looked back at each other then back to Ichigo, who resealed his Hofuku Tsuki and sheathed them both.

"Now then," he started as he turned to his cousin. "Lets find that local soul reaper and head out."

Uryu nodded and grinned at Ichigo while Grimmjow and Tai simply nodded. Ichigo closed his eyes and focused on that one soul reaper. When he found him running for his life at the immense amount of energy resonating from one area, Ichigo opened his eyes and flash stepped in front of the afro man. The man stopped dead in his tracks as the boy grabbed him and flash stepped back to where the others were.

"Alright whatever your name is, open up a senkaimon to the Rukon district now." Ichigo demanded as the afro soul reaper.

"W-w-w-why wouldn't you just want to go to into the Seireitei?" He asked.

"Because if we go straight to the Seireitei then we'll be going into enemy territory in a world we know nothing about." Uryu said to the man.

"Yeah. Sure, no problem. Just please don't hurt me man. I got no beef with you, you know." The man said as he waved his arms around.

Everyone looked at him with bored expressions as he sat there for a second. He understood his situation and used his zanpakuto to open up a senkaimon to the Rukon district.

"Alright you two," Ryuken started as he stopped them. "I may not know what district Kuukaku is in, but Isshin did tell me she was always one for theatrics. So look for something that has her name on it, okay boys?"

Ichigo and Uryu nodded to him and Ryuken glared at the two former hollows. "Anything happens to them, and I will hunt you two to the ends of time."

Tai and Grimmjow nodded to him and they all went through the senkaimon.
