Here is the next chapter for all of those who are enjoying the story so far.
The reviews are a great motivation for getting this up faster 'hint hint'.
Refer to the preivious chapters for all that warning and disclaimer stuff.
"THAT'S FOR LEAVING ME ALL ALONE URAHARA!" Ienka yelled as she slapped the green-coated man.
The other four could only watch in surprise as Urahara endured this torture. At first, they wondered how the two had met, and later they could only guess what the man had done to deserve this. None tried to stop her considering it WAS Urahara she was mad at.
"Um, Ienka… how do you know sandal-hat?" Ichigo carefully interrupted them.
"Oh! This was who I was talking about. The one I wanted to see." She turned to face the man in green, "Urahara-sempai, you trained Ichigo, didn't you?"
How did she know? Ichigo thought,
He had expected another beating but Urahara figured this was better. "Yes I did. Anyway, Ienka it's been a while hasn't it. You have grown a lot and I should say I am sorry for leaving you alone for over 100 years."
"WHAT! You left her for 100 years? No wonder she slapped you!" the four sad in unison.
"Yes he left me in the soul society. The ONLY person I knew left me alone. Urahara you are lucky that I trust you like a father and I know you had a good reason for leaving me RIGHT!"
"Yes I do!" he said quickly to defend himself, "On a happier note, Kurosaki-san, Inoue-san, Ishida, Sado, how did you meet with Ienka-chan?"
Changing the subject like always. Ienka chuckled.
"Well technically Sado and I didn't meet her. It was Ichigo and Orihime who talked to her." Ishida was of course the one to explain.
Ichigo took over the explanation. "Well after I fought Kuchiki Byakuya, and won," with help… shut up bastard, "I left a mess and was told to clean it up with Renji. Underneath a huge pile a' dirt, was Ienka here passed out."
"Oh this is Ishida's house, correct?" Urahara interrupted as they reached the Quincy's residence. Ichigo went on with how he met Ienka with the man in the hat stopping to let off Sado and Orihime.
When they reached the Kurosaki household Ichigo asked, "Where will Ienka be stayin'?"
"About that, out in the back of my shop, there is a store room separate from the rest of the place. We will clean it up and she will be living there."
"Ok, just checking" the representative jumped down, waved goodbye, and entered his house."
"Finally, now that they are gone, do they know about her." Urahara said the last word in a different manner than the other words.
"No and I don't plan on telling them. If I do it will be that Ichigo and you know why."
"Yes I had a feeling that while he was in sereite you would run into him."
"What exactly did you do to him, sempai?"
Not long after, they reached the Urahara Shoten. As an extended punishment for leaving her alone, Ienka forced Urahara to clean the little shack about 20 feet behind the normal shop. Considering how shabby and run-down the previous storehouse was, the former 12th division captain had a large chore ahead of him. The aqua haired girl introduced herself to the three who called Urahara "the Manager." Her opinions of the three: Uryuu was strange but very friendly, Jinta was a brat, and Tessai was perverted in a weird way.
Ichigo lay on his bed confused. She knows more than she lets out, that Ienka girl. How could she have found out both that Urahara was my trainer and that I fought Byakua? Its like she's been watching me!
"HOLLOW! HOLLOW!"
"What the hell was that!" the surprised teen shouted. "Ug… just this stupid charm Ukitate gave me." He pressed the skull-decorated charm to his chest to turn into a shinigami.
"Hey, this thing IS useful." Ichigo jumped out of his window trying to locate the nearest hollow.
It was about 5 blocks away. The white masked monstrosity lunged at Ichigo who easily avoided the blow. Pathetically, the simple hollow attempted a few more attacks. Tired of deflecting the meager attempts to harm him, Ichigo jumped in the air and was about to slash the mask.
Sorry Ichigo, but ya don't deserve to use the body anymore.
This caught the orange head off guard giving the enemy a chance to damage him. A spike shot from the hollow's palm. Ichigo cringed in pain as the spike stabbed his shoulder. He was used too much worse but between this and his mental battle, he had too much to deal with.
Damn it. Leave me alone bastard.
See that wound right there is proof of how undeserving you are. If I were the one in control, that and all of your past injuries would have never happened.
The hollow attacked once more but Ichigo ran away from the battle before it could injure him further.
Forget it. You will never be able to take me over.
Oh but I have in the past and I will continue to do so until I have you completely under my command. You will be in the position that I have feared and been stuck in ever since you awakened me. You will be the one trapped in the boring hell that is your mind. You will be the one begging for freedom. YOU will be the one who can only watch as I fight for you. Yes that sounds about right. I will have devoured you. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Ichigo was left alone as themirror image of himself finished his maniacal laughter. As much as he hated to admit it, he was afraid. Afraid of letting the sick bastard run amuck terrorizing his friends, afraid of being weak and not able to protect anyone including himself.
"Ienka after 6 hours of work, I am finally done cleaning the room you will be staying in. You really do know how to punish someone."
Urahara let out a tired sigh. He knew the girl would have some other form of work to keep him busy.
"Let's see how ya' did." Ienka happily exclaimed. "In this 20x10 foot room you managed to put a bed in, sweep the place, put up a curtain on the window, and built a nice desk for me! Now make me a gigai."
The blond man obeyed when there was a death glare coming from her aqua eyes even though is was barley noticeable through her large happy smile. I forgot how much her personality resembles my own. Maybe I should be nicer to everyone… Nah.
"Oh Ienka, you will be attending school with Kurosaki-san and his friends."
"School? What is that? Remember I am not familiar with the human world."
"Uh… It's kind of like the shinigami academy, except you don't learn how to fight."
The academy? She hated that place. "Then I am not gonna go if its like that hell hole."
Flashback
The following days at the academy were just like the first one. The young child was average and completely ignored. No one ever talked to her; she had no friends, practiced combat with someone who would only forget her face. The teachers wouldn't call her by her name and used things like "hey you girl" to identify her. The only person who really recognized her existence was Hazumi, the only one who would always know her and try to cheer her up.
"Why do they all ignore me?" the teary eyed Ienka asked her guardian. She had been going to the academy for at least 3 years now.
"I'm sure it will get better, you probably just need to get taller." the purple haired woman was yet again trying to comfort what you could call her adopted daughter.
"No that's not it, they all see me but just won't acknowledge me."
Hazumi let out a long drawn out sigh. "Ienka, I have been given an assignment to go to the human world for a week and a half tops. Will you be ok without me?"
Ienka felt terrible inside as she heard this but hid it quite well. She smiled back at the woman and said, "Yes don't worry about me. I will be perfectly fine."
"Ok if you are sure. I just feel bad about leaving you alone at such short notice."
"No don't feel bad, it's your job to go"
"Well, if you put it that way, I will come back as soon as possible. Bye Bye Ienka-chan." Hazumi exclaimed as she left.
Ienka felt more and more alone with each passing second Hazumi wasn't around.
End FlashbackSummer was over so of course Ichigo had to go back to school.
The next day at school, Ichigo was grumpy, tired, mad, and pissed off at anything trying to talk to him. He took his seat at his desk and laid his head down. His hollow had decided to speak in his mind more often. This left the orange head with a headache.
"ICHIGOOOOOOOO" his annoying friend yelled and tried to tackle him. Luckily for both Ichigo and Keigo Chad had taken a hold of the pest's collar. The teen took this oppertunity to rest from the day and hopefully the little voice in his head.
"Good morning students, we have two new students today." The teacher spoke as she walked into the chaotic classroom.
A blond with a bowl haircut along with a familiar ocean haired girl stepped into the room.
"Please welcome Hirako Shinji and Urahara Ienka"
Shinji was happy as he looked at his fellow classmates while Ienka looked like she was ready to kill someone.
"What are you doing here Ienka?" Orihime exclaimed.
How in the hell did that bastard Urahara get me to come here AND use his name!
"Going to school why else would I be here." Ienka sarcastically replied.
"Anyway Hikaro there is a chair beside Ichigo, the one sleeping on his desk. Urahara you can…" The teacher was cut off when she heard, " unn… Urahara why are you here! Shouldn't you be…snore"?
"Please call me Ienka, sensei"
"Sure, anyway you can sit next to Arisawa-san. Raise your hand Tatsuki."
Dammit why does Ichigo have to be asleep? Shinji thought.
The day was incredibly long and boring until the lunch bell rang. Hordes of students surrounded her all asking the same question.
"Did you dye you hair and if so why green and blue?"
This pissed of the already pissed off Ienka. "My hair is NATURALLY this color and don't ask why!" she elbowed in the stomach a nearby student to prove her point.
The crowd decided it best to leave the girl alone.
"So Ienka, are you really related to Urahara-san?" Orihime asked the girl once no one was around.
"Nah, I just needed a family name to use and since I am staying at his house, he made me come here and use his name."
"Why don't you just use your parents' name? It seems a whole lot easier."
Ienka tilted her head slightly down ward. "My parents are dead Inoue. I never knew them."
"You never saw them in soul society any where? That's sad."
"No I'm not sure if you understood me, I was born in seireite and my parents were murdered while they where there."
Another chapter finished, I will try to write the next one quickly.
I would like to hear your opinions of my grammar, and if the chapters should be a little longer.
Ichigo is fast asleep on his desk during the school day so far even during the lunch time.
