Author Notes: Sorry for the long waited update! But I'm back and that's all that matters right? Well enough about that. Sorry to say this, but this chapter will be explaining a lot of things so it might be boring to most of all for it. I will also be filling in a past for Ichigo's mother Masaki! I've notice that hardly anyone or none at all make a past for her so I will be doing one that will fill in what I will be explaining through this chapter. Hope you enjoy
Alhazad2003: After a really small talk with each other, He or she (I do not know you're gender and sorry if this offends you in any way) I have accepted the apology Alhazad2003 as given me. I was a bit pissed over what he told me in the last review that was given by Alhazad2003, but I have come to understand that he was just saying something's that he did not mean. Just like him, I have so disagreements on Rosario Vampire just like he does Bleach, but either of us can't do anything about it because we don't own either of it. He's been helping me out a bit, and I just want to tell my reader's that everything with us has been cleared up. So we're cool again!
Summary: Everyone he cared about was gone; all wipe out by two men's fear for him. He swore vengeance; not caring if the world itself was plunged into darkness. It didn't matter to him as long as he found those two that took everything away from him. A man appears, inviting him to a school name Yokai Academy as well as information on who he seeks. He takes this deal, and on his search he finds someone from his past. Dark Ichigo!
Hope you enjoy
Onto the Story
Eclipse
Standing on side of The Headmaster of Yokai Academy, Ruby Toujo was in deep thought about a lot of things that have been occurring over the months Yokai Academy as started a new school year. When the first day of the New Year started, Ruby thought nothing really drastic was going to happen until maybe in the middle of the year. She knew that her and her friends were still going to have to deal with Fairy Tale sooner or later, but she never thoughts their problems would begin for them in the beginning of the year dealing with Moka's dark past. Ruby still could not get why kind outer Moka would deal herself with someone like that, it just didn't make any scene to Ruby at all.
For months now Ruby had been trying to figure out things about Kurosaki Ichigo, but every time she would ask the Headmaster he would deny the answers she wanted. Since he wouldn't give her the answers that had been going through her head for months now, she went to find the answers she wanted for herself. Since she had heard Kurosaki talk about his home town Karakura Town being destroyed; Ruby had use that to find any information she could about Ichigo. She was completely giddy when she did find something about him; she thought that she would find something about a mask murderer after the time Moka had left him, and that he had lost his mind completely without her being by his side.
What she found was not what she thought
Every last thought she had about him being a mass murderer was thrown completely out of the window when she read his record. Karakura High, the high school he went to was filled with very smart teenagers, most who ranked very well overall in the school and the entire country of Japan. What she couldn't believe was that Kurosaki was ranked number twenty-three in his own school year, something she thought impossible for the person she had met. The only thing she thought he was good at was being angry at everyone and killing everything that said or looked at him wrong, a completely madman that needed to be stopped at all cost. But Ruby couldn't deny that she had completely over judge who Kurosaki Ichigo was; he wasn't the completely killer she thought he was.
More things that made her over judge him was that even though he had missed more days than anyone in the school, he still manage to rank twenty-third in his school year, something that was very impressive. But even with all those impressive feats that he manage to accomplish, Ruby still could not figure out why he would miss so many days of the school year. Using the little information she had; Ruby went through Karakura Highs medicals records to check if the problems were with Kurosaki's health. But his medical records pulled out that he was at good health, all his physical work and health was top notch with only a few students coming on par with him. If that was true, then what could be the reason on why Kurosaki was missing so many days? It just didn't make any sense to Ruby at all no matter how many times she tried to go over it.
Continuing with her research, Ruby went deeper into her work and broke into Karakura's police department to look up any killings that went unsolved. It took awhile, but she did find a lot of things that involved murders and construction sites, buildings and others things that the police department could not solve. Ruby try to somehow connect all the missing days Ichigo missed school with everything that happen, but each day he missed only some up with most of the days he had missed. So she could not prove that Ichigo was the cause of all the problems that happen; but that small problem caused irritation so welled up in her body.
None of it added up though! Just what could Kurosaki being doing during the time of those murders and destruction? His records said that he started missing school around the age of 15 years old, a year after everything that happen with Moka and her family. Something must have happen during the time Kurosaki turn 15-18, but the question is what could it have been to make it happen? That is what Ruby needed answers to. The other two things that have been worrying Ruby was about Ichigo's youki and his daughter's youki as well, something that has been bothering her for awhile now.
That way Kurosaki's youki felt was something she had never felt before in her life! It felt demonic like any other youkai, but it was far darker and felt more like darkness than anything else. His power was more like a raging whirlpool more than anything, completely void of ever stopping the way she felt it. His power was always active, raging around his body even though no one could ever see it sometimes, but even though she couldn't see it sometimes when he didn't summon it, that did not mean she could not feel it. The other thing she was curious about was his sword he always has with him, from close watching she could also tell that it was connect to Kurosaki's power, almost like it was his second being or something that she could not understand. She couldn't pin point if the source of energy Kurosaki was even using was youki, it felt more like something else that she had never heard or felt before.
Whatever source of energy he was using also causes a drastic change on the surrounding area whenever he releases it around his body, something that no one at the school as shown the ability to do. It also shouldn't be possible for him to be able to use his energy like she witness and heard him do, being able to kill three opponents with just his energy aura alone was very impressive for someone his age. It took some youkai centuries to be able to use his or her youki to their fullest, but Kurosaki seem to have master his own energy far above any youkai she had ever seen before. Something like that shouldn't be possible for someone of his age like that; and if what Moka said about him being human before then what he has been able to do was something short of amazing even for her. She herself was a powerful witch even for her age, but things she have heard and see Ichigo do was something that amazed her and made her a bit angry that a human turn whatever was able to master their energy/youki in such a short time.
Just like her father, Kumiko was nothing short of amazing in her own way as well. Her own energy was in separate form, being mixed with both her mothers and Kurosaki's own youki and turning it into something that she could not fully read like others. Noticing some traits, Kumiko seems to be able to use her power only when she at her breaking point. Ruby notices when Kumiko does use her power, she's only able to use it in a short burst to attack whoever it was that angered her. But after she uses it, her power completely vanishes from around her and causes dizziness or lost of balance.
'But even with all that, it still doesn't tell me how she has such enormous youki within her body,' Ruby said to herself deeply in thought. 'It's common knowledge that if the parents are strong individual that possesses large amounts of youki that their children might also have large amounts. But Moka's daughter seems to have even more youki in her body then Yukari, that shouldn't be possible for a girl of only four years of age.'
Ruby had thought that Moka's daughter had somehow manage to be born with Shinso blood in her body, but she had discarded that idea from no proof. She had checked Ichigo's background to see if his bloodline was somehow filled with youkai that no one knew of, but again she had met nothing but a dead-end. Everything she had tried to find out about by herself was found with no answers at all, and it frustrated the black haired witch to know end. She had tried every possible thing she could find on Kurosaki Ichigo, to try and prove that he was nothing but a mad man that lost his mind after Moka had left him. Deep down Ruby knew she couldn't put anything on Ichigo no matter how much she wanted to, every last piece of dirt she tried to pin point on him couldn't be proven without any solid proof of where he was during those times he missed school.
But she just couldn't give up so easily without even trying hard enough! She had to find something to prove that Ichigo wasn't good for either Moka or her daughter. Three weeks ago even though she wasn't there to see it, she had heard exactly from Yukari on what that monster had done to both Kokoa and Tsukune. When Yukari had explained what happen that day; Ruby couldn't believe what the young witch had told her. She never thought that this thing with Kurosaki would go as far as to making Moka crush Tsukune's heart without a second thought, then seconds later claim that everything that was her belong to that monster. She never would have thought that she would live to hear the prideful, arrogant Inner Moka claiming her everything to anyone.
But why would she do something like that to Tsukune of all people? A human boy no less that has shown her that even human's can be strong enough to protect her when she needed it. Inner Moka would never say that she held feelings for Tsukune, but Ruby knew that she had deep feelings for Tsukune no matter how much she wanted to deny it. Even though she didn't get along with Inner Moka that much like the rest, she still considered the sliver haired vampire a friend. She was going to do everything she could to prove to Moka that Kurosaki Ichigo wasn't the right person for her or a father for her daughter, that's the least she could do as a friend. She was doing this for Moka to repay her for helping her in her time of need; a large part of her also was doing this for Tsukune as well.
The brown kind haired boy did not deserve Moka just running out on him like that, just tossing him aside and forgetting all the things they had been through. He was the exact opposite of Kurosaki Ichigo; Tsukune actually went out his way to help people and even gave his own enemies a chance to change their ways. That bastard that Moka had foolishly fallen in love with would never do something like that; he would kill anyone that stood in his way because of his petite revenge. He had proven that when he brutally killed both Keito and Hitomi without even a second glance. They even begged for their lives, but he had proven what a monster he was and killed them in the most brutally way. After the incident had happen, Ruby had gone to except the damage that had happen, but as she got there she wish she wouldn't have.
Keito's body couldn't even be found, the only thing that indicated that she had been killed was the loose body parts that were scattered across the forest. When she had came across Hitomi's body, she had immediately gagged at the state Hitomi's body was in. Where her body laid was a large slash mark that was about a good yard or so deep in the ground, but her body was cut in half diagonally from the waist all the way to her neck. Ruby could still see the horror expression on Hitomi's face, the final scream she tore through her lungs just before she was cut in half. Don't matter how much pain and death you suffered through, nobody had to be killed in such a brutal finish like what she saw.
Why did Moka fall in love with someone that could kill her if he lost it, was beyond something that Ruby could not understand. Kurosaki has proven time and time again that he's nothing but an unstable beast ready to be unleashed; waiting for someone to make the mistake he needs to kill everyone around him. Ruby didn't think that neither of them could stop him, he had proven with his fight with Issa-sama that none of them could hold a candle to him. His strength was far greater than anything she had seen from either Moka or Kokoa, and his speed was far beyond Gin who was well known for being one of the fastest youkai she had ever encountered. How could they even stop someone that didn't even seem to use is full power on a Vampire Lord? She still couldn't believe that he had managed to beat Issa-sama of all people.
Just what kind of being he was to be that powerful? She had never heard of someone being able to do some of the things she had barley saw him do. Ruby knew if she ever tried to attack Kurosaki out of anger, that it wouldn't even take him a fraction of his strength to wipe her off the face of the earth. Why did Mikogami-sama let that beast stay at his Academy was something she could not understand; Ruby knew he felt Kurosaki's power so why go through the trouble just to have him here? The only reason she could come up with is that he was using Ichigo to do something for him. She knew he wanted Kurosaki to stay here and protect Tsukune and the others, but that just had to be a cover up for something far greater. But she couldn't figure out what it was, the centuries Mikogami-sama had live had gave him the cunning ability he needed to fool and toy with anyone he needed at his disposal.
"Mikogami-sama," Ruby called out
The Headmaster turn his attention in his personal aide's direction, the same grin was on his face that both him and his brother were known for. "What is it Ruby-san?" He asked her
Ruby shivered a bit, still a bit not use to his creepy voice. "I just wanted to know the reason why you keep Kurosaki here at Yokai Academy?" She asked spate out Ichigo's last name in disgust.
Even though he never showed it, Mikogami was quite annoyed with the constant questions Ruby asked him about Ichigo. Every since he had told her about Ichigo arriving at the school, she had asked constant question on what kind of monster he was, how could he have so much power at such a young age? But no matter how much she asked, he wasn't going to give her any of the answers she wanted. Even though all four of them were now dead and gone, Mikogami still held deep respect for, Kisuke, Isshin, Yoruichi and Masaki. Each of them had proven themselves to him, the least he could do is honor the last request they had made to him. He glance at Ruby to see the girl lightly glaring at him with a annoyed expression, he chuckled darkly a bit at it. Maybe he didn't have to give her any information on why he lets Ichigo stay at his school, but he could give her small clues about Ichigo's family bloodline.
"I have great respect for both of Kurosaki's senseis and his parents," Mikogami finally answered
Ruby narrowed her eyes at that, she get it that he had great respect for Ichigo's senseis, but what she did not get his how he knew Kurosaki's. If Ichigo was somehow supposedly human four years ago, then how Mikogami-sama knew either of his parents who she believes were both human as well. All these things about Kurosaki Ichigo just wasn't making sense to her, just what kind of history did Mikogami-sama have with humans no less?
"From what Moka told us Mikogami-sama," The black haired witch began. "Kurosaki was supposedly completely human four years ago, so how could you know his parents who I believe are human as well?" She asked him
Mikogami glance at her for a brief second before chuckling darkly, "Kurosaki's father is far from being human Ruby-san."
The witches' eyes narrowed, "What do you mean that his father is far from being human?"
"It's just like I have just said," The Exorcist twisted his chair around and looked out the only window that was in the dark room. "The man known as Kurosaki's father is far from being human," He chuckled a bit. "Calling him that would probably cause him to smile at you, he view himself human more than anything even though he wasn't."
"What do you mean by that?" Ruby asked. "If he wasn't human, then why would he be happy when someone called him human? Did he hate whatever he was?"
Again The Headmaster did nothing but chuckled, "No, he was by far very proud of what he was Ruby-san." He glanced at her for a moment smirking, "It's just that after the wa-" He cut himself off and stayed silent
Ruby noticed this and narrowed her eyes even further, wondering why The Headmaster suddenly cut himself off from what he was going to say. "What was it that you were going to say Mikogami-sama?"
"You're quite knowledgeable in youkai history," Mikogami suddenly spoke back up. "What was the reason on why youkai began hiding themselves away from human eyes?"
Ruby became seriously confused onto why he suddenly asked a question like that, why would a history lesson on the past have something to do with Kurosaki's parents? Something about this wasn't adding up to her. Ruby glance at Mikogami to see that he was staring out of the small window with a serious expression on his face, something that was hardly see from the close to insane Headmaster of Yokai Academy. This was the first real time she had ever saw him serious like this, whatever Kurosaki's parents past was about must be really serious for The Headmaster to be serious like this.
"Through what my former master told me," Ruby began. "Youkai suddenly started degrees in numbers and humans started to grow in numbers. With the numbers of humans increasing, so were their confidents and strength, making them far fiercer then what youkai had thought. With human technology growing, they manage to create weapons that would be able to kill youkai. With their growing numbers and weaponry, youkai had no choice but to go into hiding for them to survive." She explained the best way she could remember
Mikogami chuckled a clapped his hands a few times, "That's a very good answer Ruby-san but."
"But what?" Ruby asked feeling a bit nervous for some reason, "What I just told you couldn't be anything but the truth." Even though her master was now dead and gone; Ruby still greatly respected and trust everything that she had told her.
"Everything that Lady Oyakata told you was nothing but a cover up story for what truly happen," Mikogami revealed with the same serious look on his face
Ruby's eyes with wide with shock as she looked at The Headmaster; she couldn't believe what she had just heard. She shook her head a bit, not truly believing what she was just told only seconds ago. But as she looked at the serious... almost deadly gaze of Mikogami, she instantly knew that he would not be just making thinks up about something like this. But why was a cover up story created in the first place? What was the main reason for it to be creating if what she was told from her master wasn't true? She knew that many things were being hidden on the reason on why youkai were practically hiding from humans, but she never really knew the reason so she just believe what her master told her.
"But why was a cover story made up Mikogami-sama?" She asked throwing her arms out a bit. "It doesn't make scene to make up a cover story if they could just tell the truth."
Mikogami chuckled before turning back around fully in his chair; he sent a glance towards Ruby and smirked at her a bit. "Everything will be explained in just a few moments Ruby-san," He said. "We just have to wait a few seconds for one of the main ones to hear about this."
Ruby raised a eyebrow at that, "What do you mean-" She didn't get time to finish what she was asking before a loud echo flashed through the room, turning quickly towards the door in alarm, she widen her eyes in shock at who she saw. "... Guys?" She shuttered out in shock, "What are you doing here?"
Yukari smiled at her fellow witch, "Hi Ruby-chan, desu!" She rushed forward and wrapped her arms around the older witch's waist
Shaking off her shock, Ruby smiled down at her sister-like friend. "How have you been Yuakri-chan?" She asked. "Have you been doing well since the last time I saw you?"
Yuakri smiled at her, "Hai!" She chirped before stepping back towards Moka and the others.
Ruby looked at the others with a curious frown on her face. "What are you guys doing here?" She asked them
Kurumu folded her arms over her chest before answering, "We came with Moka and her insane boyfriend to get some answers." She answered a bit coldly
Inner Moka sent a cold glare in the Succubus direction, getting tired of the constant remarks she made about Ichigo. The said person that Kurumu told her comment to did not answer her, or just didn't bother to fall for her bait. Ichigo's eyes were directly cast on Mikogami and nobody else, glaring at him with a dark gaze filled with bloodlust. Seeing the bastard before him that promise him info about Alexander and Aizen grinning like an idiot was pissing Ichigo off, he was so close to beating this bastard within a inch of his life he could almost taste it. The only reason he was holding back was because his daughter was still around him, but he could just tell her to do what he normally tells her to do, but he wanted the bastard before him to give him answers.
If he didn't give the answers that he wanted, Ichigo promise himself he was going to end his life without a second thought. He had been at this damn school for almost six months now, the only little information he had receive about anything was from that damn bastard that tried to kill Moka and his daughter. But that wasn't the information he wanted, he needed info about Fairy Tale to annihilate anyone that was join with it for threating to kidnap his daughter, but what he really wanted information on was about those two murdering bastards. This bastard had agreed with him if he protected Moka and her friends, that he would give him any information that involved anything about Aizen and Alexander. But the six months Ichigo has been here, not a single damn shred of information was giving to him since they made that agreement.
Mikogami chuckled, "I see you have finally arrived Kurosaki."
Ichigo narrowed his eyes, clenching his fists at his sides in anger. "If you knew that I was coming here," He growled out darkly. "Then you know what I have come here for."
Mikogami said nothing; he kept his gaze solely on Ichigo's and no one else. Tsukune and the others shivered a bit as they looked a Ichigo, they could see that familiar dark red aura appearing around his body before vanishing out of trace as each passing second. Tsukune couldn't understand why Ichigo was getting so angry; you couldn't get answers from just thinking everyone was going to fear you. Glancing at the Headmaster, Tsukune could see no fear within those glowing white eyes of his. This probably was the second time really that no one as shown general fear of having Ichigo in their presences, which Tsukune was greatly surprise about.
Since the Headmaster had been showing up after everything that has happen between Ichigo and him, he thought general that he was going to do something about it like he did to any other person that started something in his school. But when The Headmaster did nothing at all to stop Ichigo's killing spree, Tsukune came to the conclusion that The Headmaster was scared of Ichigo. But now as he looked at him, Tsukune couldn't feel a trace of fear on the man/whatever he was on his body. He probably didn't fear Ichigo because he probably had enough youki to match or overwhelm Ichigo.
Since coming to Yokai Academy, Tsukune as learn a great deal about how the Youkai realm functions and who were the strongest. What Moka-chan and the others told him, the Three Dark Lords were three of the most powerful youkai in the Youkai realm. He didn't know much about the three, but Moka did tell him that her mother was the leader of the Three Dark Lords and the strongest out of the three. When he had heard that, Tsukune was not really surprise to hear that Moka's mother was the strongest out of the three, considering that she was a Shinso vampire. But he had also learned that the Headmaster was also one of the Three Dark Lords, something that when he found out was a great surprise to him.
Maybe that was the reason why The Headmaster didn't fear Ichigo, considering that he probably lived for centuries then he demanded respected from someone that was far younger than him. But considering what he saw Ichigo do to Moka-chan father, he could guess that being in a higher class did not matter to Ichigo at all. From what Tsukune as mostly witness from Ichigo, if you stood in the way of his goal then he was going to cut you down without any remorse. Why he did that was something Tsukune could not understand, he had learn that even youkai deserve a second chance to change their life around. But Ichigo didn't even give them a chance to do it; he cuts them down in the most brutal way if they stood in his way.
How could a man that didn't even flinch when killing someone could be a father? Tsukune just could believe when he watch how Ichigo could even stomach looking at his daughter when he knows he just finish killing someone. Didn't he have feelings at all about who he killed? Didn't he know that the people he kills as families just like he did? Tsukune tried to get that through his head but he tossed everything he was trying to say to him away like garbage. That's one of the main reasons why he could not understand why Moka would want to be around nothing but a heartless... killer
But if what Ichigo had said, The Headmaster might be able to let them see his past. If what Moka said about Ichigo being a kind person long ago, then maybe Tsukune might be able to understand just a bit where Ichigo is coming from. This was the only reason why he was here today and walking with Ichigo, he wanted to find out how Ichigo truly was before the said massacre of his friends and family. He suddenly felt someone grab a hold of his wrist, turning quickly he saw Kurumu and Mizore both giving him small smiles of confidents. He smiled back at them, truly bless a bit that he manage to be able to get friends like them to help him through these stuff times.
Mikogami chuckled a bit, "I see Akashiya-san as manage to clam you down a bit." He turn his gaze towards Moka, "I applaud you for being able to accomplish something like that."
Moka glared at him before crossing her arms over her chest and scoffing, but a small blush was on her face. She couldn't lie and say what The Headmaster said wasn't true, because she have been able to clam Ichigo down only if it's a bit. If this was about three weeks ago, there was no doubt in her mind that Ichigo would have walked in here and beat The Headmaster until he gave him what he wanted. But now since he has been living with her, Ichigo has somehow manage to calm down if only if it was a bit, something that she felt a bit proud of for being able to do.
Kumiko pouted a bit and lightly glared at The Headmaster, "What about me mister glowing eye man?" She chirped a bit angrily. "I helped a bit too!"
"Kumiko!" Moka scolded. "Don't call him that! Show some respect."
Kumiko smiled a bit sadly at her mother, "Sorry Ka-san." She apologies, "It just that his eyes are a bit funny how they glow."
Mikogami laughed a bit, "Don't worry about it Akashiya-san." He lightly grinned at the small sliver haired girl, "She's the first child I have ever known to not be scared of me."
Kumiko lightly glared at him, showing a side of both her parents. "I never be scared of something like you," She snapped a bit.
Seeing his daughter, Ichigo couldn't help but smirk a bit at her attitude which reminded him a bit of himself and Moka. "I need you to be quit for a bit for me Kumiko," He told her. "Me and this man here have some business we need to talk about."
Kumiko nodded and smiled at her father, "Okay Tou-san!"
Ichigo just glance at her before turning his gaze back on Mikogami. "Have you gathered any information on Aizen and Alexander?" He asked coldly
In an instant, Mikogami's grin vanished from his face and was replaced by a serious gaze. Even if he didn't quite agree to some of how the methods Ichigo has running around the school, he knew the boy was the only currently person on the planet that was strong enough to beat those two. He owe it to both his parents and his sensei's to give the boy everything he needs, even if it mean he didn't like some of the things he was doing. He knew, he wasn't strong enough to take down Aizen or Alexander, he could try to seal the both of them, but he didn't think any seal he would make would be strong enough to hold either of the two. Hating to say it, but the boy standing before him was the only thing stopping those twp from completely taking over the world.
"Just as Kisuke had once spoken to me," He began. "The only man that was able to rival him in intelligence is Aizen, and from what I remembered from that crazed Alexander, he is nothing short of a genie himself."
Ichigo narrowed his eyes a bit at that, "The way you're talking his like you have met both Aizen and Alexander."
The insane grin was back on his face, "I can't say that I have ever met Aizen in person. But I have fought alongside Alexander before."
Ichigo's eyes widen a fraction, but it quickly vanished to be replaced with a murderous look. "You have fought alongside that bastard!" He growled out slamming his hands on the desk, "Are you going to tell me that you were with him when he cut down everyone I care about as well?" He receives no answer. "ANSWER ME YOU BASTARD!"
Nobody said anything; to visible shocked to know that The Headmaster had worked alongside the person that Ichigo said was one of the causes of his friend's death. Moka herself was also glaring at The Headmaster; even though she can't remember much about them she did see Chad as one of her friends. He was probably the only other human that gain her respect, and knowing that the person that sitting right in front of her played a part in his death, pissed the sliver haired vampire off to know end. Tsukune and the others were shocked a bit as well, but even though The Headmaster had said he had fought alongside this 'Alexander' person, they didn't want to believe that he was the cause of an entire town's population.
Mikogami narrowed his eyes at Ichigo, actually showing anger for the first time which greatly surprises some. "I would never play a part in my own friend's death Kurosaki Ichigo," He stated coldly. "I know you're angry about the lost of everything you held dear, but give you the right to say something like that to me."
Ichigo growled a bit but said nothing; if the bastard before him was waiting for an apology then he was going to wait until his death. "If what you're waiting for is an apology, then you will never hear it from me." He snapped, "I have been waiting six months to hear a shred of information about those two. But you have given me nothing to go on with, and I am tired of playing you're games."
"I am not playing games with you Kurosaki"
"HOW ARE YOU NOT?" Ichigo roared in rage, causing his daughter to yelp in fright at his voice. "You haven't given me anything on the location or a shred of information about the two you know I have sworn to kill, then you come and tell me that you have fought alongside the bastard that sent those damn Quinces to BLOW UP MY HOUSE THAT MY SISTER WERE IN."
Moka gasped at hearing that along with the others that were by her side. Four years ago, even though it was only quick moments at seeing them, she remembered seeing both of Ichigo's sister's. She didn't get to really talk to them much, but she did know that Ichigo cared a great deal for his sister's. Knowing the way they were killed must be mostly likely killing him inside, even though she herself didn't show it much; Moka could say how she would take it if her sister had been killed like that. She glanced at the side to see Kokoa wearing a horror expression on her face; she could also see that the girl was shaking a bit.
"Are you okay Kokoa," She asked
Snapping out of her shock; Kokoa turn towards her sister. "I'm..." She shuttered out still quite shaking up at what she heard, "I'm okay Onee-sama." She chuckled a bit to try and control her shock, "I'm just a bit shocked that's all."
Moka looked at her sister for a bit longer before turning her gaze back towards the front.
Mikogami sighed a bit, "The reason why I haven't been able to give you any information on where Aizen and Alexander are, because my informants haven't been able to find any."
Ichigo scoffed, "Then what the hell am I still doing here?" He turn away from Mikogami and began walking out of the door. "If you can't give me what I need, then staring here is completely useless to me."
"But I have found a little bit on what they are doing though," That caused Ichigo to stop completely in his tracks.
"What the hell do you mean you have found a little on what they're doing?" The orange haired shinigami growled out. "Didn't you just say that you didn't have a damn thing on any of them?"
Mikogami chuckled, "I did say that didn't I"
With a quick flick of his wrist, Ichigo sent Zangetsu flying towards Mikogami who didn't make a move to evade it. A second later, the large zanpakuto buried itself deep into the wall that was behind Mikogami desk and chair. Tsukune and the others gasped a bit in shock, neither one of them seeing the large blade flying across the room. Each of them looked at Ichigo to see he had an enrage looked on his face as he looked at The Headmaster. Glancing back at the head of Yokai Academy, they could see that the man didn't make an inch to move himself out of the way.
Ruby glared at Ichigo, "What do you think you're doing you monster?" She snapped
Ichigo ignored her, focusing all his anger on the person before him. "I'm getting tired of you're games you bastard!" He growled out pushing Zangetsu closer towards Mikogami's neck. "Tell me what you know or I will kill you!" He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, glancing at his side he saw Moka looking him directly in the eyes
"You need to calm down Ichigo and let him explain," The sliver haired vampire said
Ichigo growled at her, "What the hell do you mean clam down?" He growled. "I'm tired of this bastard playing games with me!" He sent his glare back towards Mikogami, "You will tell me or I beat you half to death until you finally give me what I want."
A slight chuckle passed through Mikogami's lips, "I see that bloodlust of you're as finally returned."
"Enough of your constant babbling fool!" Ichigo snapped. "Started talking or have your head flying across the room," His eyes suddenly bleed red. "And I suggest you choice wisely"
Mikogami grinned at seeing Ichigo's crimson eyes, those eyes of his reminds me exactly of hers... "Do you remember at the beginning of the Vandenreich invasion that you went to Hueco Mundo to investigate on what was going on?"
"What does that have to do with Aizen and Alexander?"
"It doesn't have anything to do with Aizen," The grin on Mikogami's face vanished. "But it does have a lot to do with that mad fool Alexander."
Standing at Ichigo's side, Moka looked at The Headmaster in confusion. "What is this 'Hueco Mundo' you speck of?" She asked in interested, "I never heard of a place called by that name."
"I need you to be silent for a moment Moka," Ichigo order her.
Moka lightly glared at him but a chuckled from Mikogami caused her to look in his direction. "Don't worry about that right now Akashiya-san," He told her. "I will try to explain everything I know after I finish my business with your mate."
Moka blushed at that, but said nothing to deny it. Hearing this, Tsukune lightly glared at The Headmaster for saying something like that. Even though he has back off a bit to give Moka some space; but by no means as he given up on Moka. He couldn't allow the person he lived with all his heart to be with someone that could kill them at any given moment. Tsukune wouldn't forgive himself if Moka ends up dead and he could have stopped it from happening.
"Ka-san," Kumiko called out grapping a hold of her mother's skirt. "What does 'mate' mean?" She asked cutely
Sending a cold glare towards The Headmaster, Moka smiled down at her daughter. "I will tell you someday when you're older ok."
"I'll be damn!"
Moka looked up to see Ichigo glancing at her with his right eye, but it was shifted into a glare. "What are you talking about Ichigo?" She asked him
"You know what I'm talking about Moka," He stated. "I'll be damn if Kumiko learns anything about what a mate means."
Even though the situation was serious, Moka couldn't help but laugh at that. It was a great surprise to her that even though Ichigo will never be the same person she remembered four years ago, he stilled showed a bit of his personality that she remembered him by. He still seems to have that over protective gene in him that she remembered about him, something that uses to constantly get on her nerves. He wasn't completely back to her and might never be the same person she remembered, but that didn't mean that he still didn't have some of his old traits with him. He hide everything he use to be being a exterior of coldness and anger, but with the help of their daughter, Moka was sure that they were slowly breaking through that barrier he put around his heart.
Mikogami chuckled, "Do you remember that small Hollow-like child you had with you?"
Ichigo eyes widen in shock, "... Nel?" He stuttered out
Moka looked at him in confusion, "Who's Nel?" She asked him
"All you need to know is that she someone that I consider a daughter and a friend." Ichigo simply told her glaring at Mikogami, "What the hell do you know of Nel? Are you trying to piss me off because you are doing a hellva good job at doing it?"
"Why would I be making this thing's up Kurosaki?" Mikogami asked him. "All I'm asking you is if you remember her."
"Yes I do remember her you bastard!" The orange haired shinigami snarled, "I also remember her being killed trying to take a Quincy arrow for me."
Ichigo could still remember that day, watching as the little Hollow-like girl that resembled Kumiko in so many way die in his arms. He had made a stupid mistake at letting his guard down after his sisters were killed; a Quincy had use that to their advantage and shot an arrow towards his back. But Nel had seen it and somehow manage to get in the way just in time to get in the way before it manage to hit him. He knew he could have survived the blow, but there was no possible way Nel was going to be able to survive a blow from a spiritual arrow with being in her true form. After seeing Nel break apart into spiritual particles, he had killed the Quincy in the cruelest way he could thing of without a second thought.
Hearing laughter, he looked up and glared murderously at Mikogami. "Do you thing laughing at her death his funny you bastard?" He growled out
"I'm sorry to tell you this Kurosaki, but your friend Nel is far from being dead."
"... What?" Ichigo asked in shock. "How the hell could she still be alive?" He growled in rage. "I watch her die in my arms so how could she still be alive? That's makes no scene!"
"You haven't seen it before haven't you?" Mikogami asked suddenly
"I haven't seen what?" The orange haired shinigami snapped
"Kyoka Suigetsu (Mirror Flower, Water Moon)"
Ichigo eyes widened at hearing that familiar name, memories of that bastard flashing through his mind. He gritted his teeth in anger and without him knowing it, his reiatsu exploded outward around his body. Moka stepped back a bit, worry edge on her face as she looked at the enrage look on Ichigo's face. That name that The Headmaster spoke of must have brought back unwanted memoires that he did not want to remember, she glared at Mikogami for bringing up something that he knew would cause pain for the orange haired shinigami before her.
"What the hell does Aizen zanpakuto have to do with this?" Ichigo asked darkly
"It as everything to do with it," Mikogami stated seriously. "It's the main reason why you thought you saw Nel die before you that day."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Ichigo roared in rage, "Aizen's zanpakuto is only effective if his opponent sees him releasing it. I have not once seen him release it before in either of my battles with him," His reiatsu began crushing the ground around him. "So what the hell does his zanpakuto have to do with the reason Nel is supposedly still alive?"
"Did see it Kurosaki," Mikogami stated seriously. "You were just so overcome with rage at seeing your sister's killed that you did not notice that Aizen activated his shikai, thus casting his shikai's perfect hypnosis."
Ichigo looked at him in shock, completely overcome with rage. "THAT SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE!" He roared in anger. "That bastard was nowhere near my house when that happens! So how was he able to cast it from that distance?"
"From what Kisuke as told me about Aizen's abilities, he able to increase the distance with only his spiritual pressure." Mikogami explain, "Something both of us knew he has a large amount of."
"That doesn't explain to me how he manages to retain his zanpakuto in the first place." Ichigo questioned, "From our last fight on the outskirt of Karakura Town. I remember his zanpakuto completely breaking apart right before my eyes. He shouldn't be able to cast any hypnosis without his zanpakuto with him, so what you're telling me can't be anything but a damn lie."
"And what reason would I have from lying to you about something like this?" Mikogami asked seriously. "You know from experience that if given enough time, Aizen will learn how to increase his abilities. Thus meaning that he had a full year to be able to learn and experiment with making the distance of his shikai far larger then what you have normally heard of."
Ichigo knew what Mikogami was telling him was nothing but the truth, but he did not want to believe that he made a foolish mistake of taking his eyes off of Aizen in the beginning. Ichigo had no idea of the depths of Aizen's intellect, so he couldn't say that Aizen didn't manage to somehow be able to use his zanpakuto when he was sealed up. But the question was how the hell did he manage to break out of all those highly leveled bakudo spells? Ichigo suddenly narrowed his eyes and glared at Mikogami.
The Headmaster grin, "I see you have finally figured it out Kurosaki."
"Who in the hell would be stupid enough to let that bastard free?" Ichigo asked coldly
"The same people that sentence him there"
Ichigo glared coldly at Mikogami, "You're going to sit there and tell me that the god damn Central 46 were the one that unleashed that bastard from his confinement?" He snapped
"There's no other reason why they wouldn't," The Headmaster of Yokai Academy stated simply.
"But why?" Ichigo demanded. "Why would they let him free even though they knew what he was capable of? Why would they let someone that as already massacred the previous members? Were they that foolish to let him free?"
"Greed and lust for power was the two main factors on why they let him free."
"Explain!" The orange haired shinigami demanded
"Evenly though newly elected, the greed was still fresh in their minds just like the previous members." Mikogami stated, "Over the centuries since Soul Society as excited. Central forty-six as always been filled with nothing but greedy fools who have no power at all."
"But if they were always greedy, why would jii-san allow them to still have their seating?" Ichigo asked. "Why if he knew what they were, didn't he just closed down the hold thing and follow his on rules?"
"You might not know this but Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto followed through with Central 46 rules with no question, even though himself did not like most of the things that they ordered." Mikogami explained
"So you're telling me that the old man knew Aizen was free, but did nothing about it?" Ichigo asked through clenched teeth
Mikogami shook his head, "Not in the least Kurosaki." Leaning back in his chair, he looked at each individual in his official before turning his gaze back on Ichigo. "The true reason is that Genryusai Yamamoto did not know of what they were planning."
Ichigo narrowed his eyes at that, truly not believing that the cunning old man that he knew would be able to know of a plan that was crafted up by a bunch of noble bastards. But something wasn't adding up here, why would central forty-six want to release Aizen of all people and want to make a deal with that madman? Something wasn't right here but he just couldn't come up with what it was. What was the thing that Aizen could get for them, which they themselves could not reach? All these questions with no answers were getting on Ichigo's nerves, but he couldn't just get angry about it. He had to figure it out before it was to late, he just had to read between the lines and maybe something he could pick up from this.
"There's something here I'm not understanding," He pointed out. "The old man was the history of Soul Society itself! So how could he have not figure out about any of what the central forty-six was planning?"
"It's not that he did not know anything about it Kurosaki, he just didn't have anything on them to prove about what they were doing behind everyone's back." Mikogami stated, "He just couldn't run in their claiming that the entire Central forty-six was planning treason behind the Gotei 13 back. He needed proof, something that those nobles were very good at not letting anyone find any."
Ichigo in deep thought for a moment before speaking up again. "Did the old man know anything about them letting Aizen free?" He asked
Mikogami shook his head, "He knew they were planning something, but he didn't know anything about them letting Aizen free."
'So Soul Society's corruption is even further into its own main bridge of power,' Ichigo said to himself. 'Kisuke had mention to me before once that Central forty-six was nothing but a bunch of corrupt bastards, but I never would have guessed that it was go as far as this.'
Suddenly the rage he had been feeling for months no hit it back at full force, he just found out another reason on who was the reason why his town, family and friends were killed. After he killed those two bastards, Ichigo was heading straight to Soul Society to kill every last one of those bastards. They were going to suffer the same fate that Aizen and Alexander will face; he will make sure that they will suffer greater than a thousand life times. His grip around Zangetsu tighten, his bloodlust was increasing the longer he thought about it. He had to kill those bastards, not just for him, but betraying and getting every last Captain that served the Soul Society fatefully killed.
He suddenly felt a small hand grip onto his, looking down he saw Kumiko staring at him with a sad look in her eyes. "Kumiko?"
"Are you okay Tou-san?" She asked rubbing Ichigo's palm with her hand. "If you're angry, Ka-san taught me this would be able to clam anyone down."
Ichigo nodded at her before taking a small glance around the room, seeing that his reiatsu was raging around the room. He curses himself a bit, not even realizing that he had released it at all. Looking down again, he smiled a bit at Kumiko. "Go stand next to your mother for me," He told her
The little girl smiled, "Okay Tou-san." She chirped
Waiting for his daughter to go back over towards Moka side, he turn his gaze back towards Mikogami. "I get what you're trying to tell me, but what does this have to do with Nel?" He asked. "Why would Aizen go out his way to use his shikai to make it look like Nel died in my arms?" He growled a bit. "That's something that bastard is not known for doing"
Mikogami chuckled a bit, "You need to learn how to control your anger Kurosaki"
"Just answer the damn question you fool!" Ichigo demanded. "I have no time for you to be playing right now."
"No need to get so testy Kurosaki"
"You're testing my fucking patients fool!" Ichigo stated coldly.
Mikogami chuckled for a bit longer before shifting himself in his chair. "One of the main reasons on why he kept Nel-san alive was because he needed her strength."
Ichigo scoffed at that, "Aizen has already proved that he does not need the strength of anyone else, so why would he save Nel just to be able to use her strength?"
"Even though there's no deny that Aizen his far stronger than many others, it still comes down that one man cannot destroy the world by himself." Mikogami stated, "He was plan on using you're supposing death to manipulate her into working for him again."
"But what was the reason for that?" Ichigo asked. "Why would keeping Nel for himself benefit him to destroying the world? What you're telling me just doesn't make any scene."
"Think Kurosaki," The Headmaster said. "Do you seriously think that people like Aizen and Alexander would be able to work together without either of them planning on killing one another?"
Ichigo's eyes widen in realization, "You're telling me that he's using Nel as a spy?" He asked
Mikogami grinned, "That's what he had planned." He pointed directly at Ichigo, "But he seriously underestimated Nel-san's loyalty to you."
"What do you mean by that?" Ichigo asked
"Nel-san refuses anything that Aizen offered her and because of that she is currently being torture for not pledging herself to him."
"How the hell do you know this?" Ichigo growled out
"I already told you when you first arrived in my office six months ago that my informant will gather information." Mikogami said grinning, "Even though some of those Quinces are loyal to Alexander with no questions. They would easily talk if their life was threaten and being tortured almost to death."
"So you manage to capture one of those bastards?" Ichigo asked clenching his fists. "Did you kill them?"
"Why would you ask something like that?" Tsukune suddenly spoke up in anger
Ichigo didn't even bother answering Tsukune; he just kept his gaze focus on Mikogami. "Did you kill those bastards or not?"
"As soon as my informants extracted all of the information we needed out of them," He began coldly, eyes glowing brighter as he looked Ichigo dead in the eyes. "I ordered them to be killed without a moment's hesitation."
Tsukune looked at him in shock, "... Headmaster?" He stutters out not believing what he was hearing. He thought that even though The Headmaster really didn't do much to stop the killing that he would at least try to make an example and not kill anyone. His eyes narrowed in anger and he clenched his fists tightly at his sides.
"Tsukune-kun..." Ruby called out to him
Tsukune didn't bother listening to her; he was to angry right now to listen to her. He glared towards both The Headmaster and Ichigo, "What was the point in killing them when you already got everything you needed out of them?" He asked angrily. "What was the reason to kill them? Just to show that you had greater strength then them? Or was it because you wanted to help this bastard in his senseless need for vengeance?" He was about to say something else but a blade at his throat stopped him; he looked up to see Ichigo looking at him with an emotionless look in his eyes. But Tsukune could tell by looking in his eyes that he was holding back from killing him, which he did not know the reason why.
The instant they saw the one they love in danger, Kurumu and the other were instantly on guard and ready to attack. Each of them had heated glares on their faces, ready to move at any giving moment to protect Tsukune if they need to. Kokoa, who usually would be on their side to move to do anything to have a reason to attack Ichigo, did not move from her spot like she usually would. Actually as Tsukune looked at her, he could swear that he looked like she was glaring at him and the others.
"You need to learn how to keep your mouth close," Ichigo growled out. "Boy"
"I'm no boy!" Tsukune snapped in anger. "I'm more of a man that you will ever be!"
Ichigo bared his teeth at that, feeling rage that this bastard before him would even dare to say something like that. He suddenly felt something and took a small glance towards Moka to see her staring at him, looking at him with an unreadable look. Too others, but Ichigo could read through everything she was hiding. Looking closely, he could clearly see an image of the pink haired Moka staring at him with a pleading look. Even though he knew that Moka had claim his love for him; Ichigo wasn't stupid not to know that half of her heart still belong to this bastard before him.
With anger, Ichigo sheathed Zangetsu on his back and face away from Tsukune. "You're far from being a man," He finally spoke
"And what do you know about being a man?" Tsukune latched out. "Do you think being a man means that you have greater strength then someone? Do you think being a man mean that you can kill anyone you want?" The brown haired boy scoffed and looked away. "If that's what you think being a man is then you will never become one!"
For a moment, no one said anything as they looked at the brown haired teen in shock. Kurumu and the others shaking their head in approval at his words, thinking that everything he said was right. Tsukune looked at each of his friends and smiled a bit at each of them, feeling a bit of pride that each of them was looking at him with pride in their eyes. Maybe in the beginning when he first arrived at this school, he might not have know anything about what it met to truly be a man. But after going through everything he has been through with his friends; Tsukune finally now knows what it truly means now.
"A good choice of words Tsukune," A familiar voice said behind the group. They all turn around to see Gin smirking at them, but they could all see that he was completely serious for some reason.
"Gin-san?" Tsukune said a bit shocked a seeing him. "What are you doing here?"
Kurumu snorted, "He probably been here but never showed his face just because he wants' to peep at us."
Gin glared at her, "You really need to learn when to shut the fuck up." He told her coldly
The blue haired Succubus glared at him, "What was that you pervert?"
Ignoring her, Gin smirked at Ichigo. "What's up man," He greeted with a small wave. Ichigo took a small glance at him before nodding his head a bit, doing his way at greeting people that he at least respected a bit.
"What are you doing here Gin?" Yukari asked him.
Gin smirked at the small witch before looking Tsukune directly in the eyes. "Those morals of what you think a man is are really good to follow Tsukune," The smirk on his face vanishes. "But that is not how most men view themselves as men, not by a long shot."
Tsukune narrowed his eyes a bit, "What do you mean by that?" He asked
"Let me explain it for you since you are not getting it through your head," The turn to see Ichigo glancing at them with his right eye. "Every man on this planet no matter what race you are as their own beliefs on what it means being a man. But through all those different morals, one does not know the true meaning of being a man."
Tsukune and the others looked at him in confusion, not truly getting what he was trying to say to them. "What do you mean by that?" Mizore asked curious.
"It's quite simply really," The orange haired shinigami began. "Every man does not view the same as everyone else. What you believe in what being a man is might not be what I view being a man is all about," He looked at each of them with narrowed eyes. "Now do you understand what I'm trying to say to you?"
Kurumu scoffed a bit, still not getting or believing anything Ichigo as said. "So you're saying that being a man is being a murderer like you?"
Kokoa glared at her, "Shut the hell up Kurumu!" She snapped
The Succubus looked at the orange haired vampire in surprise. "...Kokoa?" She spoke out softly in shock. "What's gotten into you?"
Kokoa cross her arms back over her chest, "Not a think is wrong with me." She said, "I'm just tired of hearing your constant babbling that's all."
Mizore narrowed her eyes, but saying nothing about it. She glanced back at Ichigo who was looking at both Kokoa and Kurumu, "What are your morals of being a man Kurosaki Ichigo?" She asked him
Ichigo was silent for a moment before answering her, "You need not know of what my morals is." He told her," But I will give you a slight example of what I think what being a man is."
"And what do you think being a man is?" Mizore asked
Ichigo said nothing, he just pointed towards both Moka and Kumiko. "Those two are what I think being a man is about," He said simply
"What?" Tsukune and the other said in confusion. The only ones that did not look confuse was Gin, Kokoa, and Moka who was looking at Ichigo with a small smile on her face.
Ichigo clenched his fist and looked at it with a determined look on his face, "For as long as I have had my powers." He began, "My pride and joy was my power, and what I believe was being a man was all about. I thought that because I finally had power where I won't have to see anyone I cared about die because of my foolish mistakes." He closes his eyes for brief moment, remembering so long ago about his mother's death. "I thought since I lost everything I ever cared about that I wasn't a man, that I was a foolish boy who thought I could protect everything just because I beat everyone I thought would cause harm to my family and friends."
Moka looked at him a bit worried, sensing the cold emotions that were rolling off of Ichigo in waves. "... Ichigo," She said softly
"I thought those morals were foolish scene I lost everyone," He looked at both Moka and Kumiko with a kind smile on his face, surprising all around him. "But I was wrong about everything," His eyes suddenly narrowed in anger and rage. "True strength does come from protecting what you care for; I once believe that I lost all that when I first came here. But I do have family, it maybe small but it is still my family no matter what anyone says."
Kumiko looked at her father in a bit of awe, "Tou-san?" She spoke softly smiling at him
Ichigo looked at both Tsukune and the others with narrowed eyes full of anger. "So let me tell you something right now," His eyes turn pure crimson red, bearing down on Tsukune like he was looking at his soul itself. "I'm not just going after Aizen and Alexander just because of my revenge anymore; I going after those two bastards two erase them of this plane of existence so my family can live in a better world." He stated growling, "I won't have my daughter looking over her shoulder, fearing if that bastard Aizen is looking at her every move like he did me since my birth." He scoffed and turn back to face The Headmaster, "That is something I will not allow. Those two bastards will pay for killing my friends and family, but they will pay tremendously for threating my new family."
The others remained silent after Ichigo's words, not truly knowing what to say or counter about what he had said. Tsukune was a bit saddened a bit that he had judge Ichigo a bit too quickly, but still a bit angry that he had called Moka a part of his new family. His mind was telling him to give up on her and just go on with his life, but his heart would not allow him to do something like that. He had always followed his heart, and that was something he wasn't going to give up doing just because of a couple of mistakes.
From where he was sitting, Mikogami chuckled. "Fine words you have spoken Kurosaki,"
Ichigo scoffed, "I don't recall asking for your opinion about it"
Mikogami just smirked before turning his focus on Tsukune. "You have so honest beliefs Tsukune, but you must understand that most do not follow what you believe in." He turn his gaze away from the brown haired boy, "Just remember the kindest of people will kill if everything is taken from them are threaten."
Tsukune nodded a bit, "I understand just a bit Headmaster." He gave him a determined look, "But I think I will follow in my own beliefs about what is right."
Mikogami laughed, "Jejeje. That's really all you could do really in a world like this," He replied
"Enough of that!" Ichigo snapped, "Do you know the location of where they are holding Nel?"
"What do you plan on doing if I do know where they are hiding her?"
Ichigo glared coldly at him, "You know what I plan on doing with that information. " He growled out, "I plan on going take Nel from those bastards and killing every Quincy bastard that stands in my way."
Mikogami chuckled darkly at that, causing Tsukune and the other to get a bit freaked out. "I truly like the way you think Kurosaki," He grinned darkly. "The information we gathered from the Quinces we interrogated wasn't much, but we did finally manage to gain what we needed from her."
Tsukune's eyes widen in anger, but he said nothing about it
"Stop wasting my time and tell me where the hell their base is located!" Ichigo snapped
Mikogami chuckled, "The only thing the Quincy told us was that the location of where Nel is located is in Shinjuku." He informed
Ichigo narrowed his eyes, "You didn't get the exact location of where their base is located?" he asked.
Mikogami shook his head, "That's the only thing we were able to get out of her before she died." He said searching through his desk and pulling out a small slip of paper, he then handed it to Ichigo. "You have to do the rest and look for it by yourself"
Ichigo nodded and looked at the slip of paper that was given to him. "Who is Otonashi San?" He asked
Gin gasped at hearing the familiar name, "What business do you have with her?" He asked The Headmaster growling
Kurumu noticed this instantly, "Why do you sound so suddenly protective Gin?" She asked
Gin eyes widen a bit before he turns away, "It's nothing you need to worry about." He mumbled to her
Kurumu narrowed her eyes at that, figuring out that it was way more then what Gin was telling her. Since she had known him, Kurumu had never heard him sound so protective at just hearing a name of someone she knew nothing about. She was going to find out what he was hiding, all she needed to do is play her cards right and the perverted wolf was going to make one slip up. She glanced at Mizore to see that she was looking at Gin with the same look on her face; she gave a small nod to the Yuki-Onna.
"She's an informant of mine that has been giving me information on some of Fairy Tales moves." Mikogami explained in a serious tone, "She will help you out and give you a place to stay if you need it. She will also provided information on things she has on the base you are looking for," He grinned a bit. "It might take her a couple of days, but she will get what you need to find Nel"
"And pray tell how she will be able to get the information I need?" Ichigo asked. "What does she do to be able to gain info like that?"
"It might not be much, but she lives with someone that owns a snack bar." Mikogami informed, "People come in sometimes and talk like any other place that might walk in at. Someone will slip up and say what you need."
Ichigo nodded, crushing the slip of paper in his hands and throwing it into the garbage. He was quite please a bit at gain a little something on what he needed, it might not be what he truly wanted but at least he might be able to save a friend who he thought was dead. He didn't have that much time to waste; if he wanted to be able to save Nel in time then he had to leave now. Suddenly remembering something, he glanced back at Moka and the others and sighed a bit. Since the bastard before him didn't anger him into killing him, then he could help him with this.
"I have a favor to ask of you"
Mikogami grinned at him, "You're asking for a lot of favors Kurosaki"
Ichigo glared at him, "Are you going to do it are not?"
Mikogami shrugged a bit, "I really don't know." He said, "What is it that you need me to do for you?" He asked
"Do you have a way to show others someone memories?"
Moka and the others tense up at that finally alarm and ready for each of them had been waiting for. The sliver haired vampire had been waiting for this for a long time now, needing to know just how Ichigo had manage o obtain powers in such a small time they did not see each other. Finally being able to see his memories will answer a lot of question that will finally be answer for her. All she needed to do is wait to see if the bastard before them had the ability to show others people memories, she just hope that he did have the ability to do it.
Mikogami chuckled darkly, "So you're finally going to show them your memories?" He asked through dark chuckles.
Ichigo narrowed his eyes a bit in suspicion, "The way your acting about it. It's like you knew that I was going to allow Moka to see my memories?"
"Of course I knew you were going to show them eventually," The Headmaster pointed towards Moka. "It was only a matter of time before Akashiya-san and Kumiko-san broke through that barrier of yours"
Ichigo scoffed, "I really don't have time for your babbling." He replied coldly, "Now do you have a way to do it or not?"
The Headmaster grinned before snapping his fingers, a second later a burst of light flashes to life around Ichigo and the others. Tsukune and the others eyes widen a bit, not expecting the suddenly light to flash in the room like that. Ichigo on the other hand narrowed his eyes, tensing up and bit if the bastards before him suddenly make use of this to attack him. A few seconds later the light started to die down around them, and each of them were greeted with something each of them were not excepting to see.
"Isn't that," Yukari began
"That mean little Fairy," Kurumu said with a annoyed expression on her face. "Lilith, the one that possessed that mirror that caused all that trouble last year?"
Ichigo said nothing; he just looked at the very small girl that was floating on The Headmaster's shoulder. She wore a short purple dress with no footwear, her hair was short and a light green color that he could not describe. Ichigo was a bit tick off now that he looks at the fairy, just how was she suppose to show Moka and the others his memories? He glanced at The Headmaster and glared at him. If this is what that bastard thought was a joke, the he was not fucking laughing right now.
"Is this supposed to be a fucking joke?" Ichigo growled out
"Mikogami looked at him a bit confused, "What do you mean by that Kurosaki?" He asked
Ichigo growled in anger, "You know what the hell I'm talking about!" He pointed towards Lilith who was looking at him in confusion. "How the hell is she supposed to show them my memories?"
Lilith puffed her cheeks out in anger, "I really don't know who you are mister," She said angrily. "But please do not doubt my power." She was about to say something else but as soon as she looked into Ichigo eyes, her whole body froze up.
'What's wrong with me all of a sudden?' She asked herself. 'Why does it feel like I'm facing death? And why when I look into his eyes that I see nothing but a demon ready to kill anyone that stands in his way?' She shook violently at that.
Mikogami chuckled, "Clam down Kurosaki." He said, "I assure you that Lilith as the ability to show them your memories. But it will come at a cost for her to be able to do it for you"
"What do you mean by that?"
Mikogami looked at the small fairy, "I will let her explain it for you."
Where she was, Lilith nodded before floating in the front of the desk. "For me to be able to show them your memories," She began. "I'm going to need something that as been connect to you since the beginning of your birth, or to be précised."
"Just tell me what you need," Ichigo demanded
Lilith pointed towards Zangetsu, "I need for you to leave your zanpakuto here with us." She replied
Ichigo narrowed his eyes at that, "And pray tell why you need Zangetsu if you have the ability to show them my memories?" He asked her coldly
Shaking of the fear, Lilith answered. "I do you have the ability to be able to do it." She explained, "But I need something that has been connected with the person since birth to be able to do it."
Ichigo nodded a bit, finally understanding where she was going with this. "So that why you need Zangetsu," He replied. "You need something that is connected to my spiritual pressure that as all of my memories stored in it," He smirked a bit. "Am I right?"
Lilith nodded her head, "Correct"
Ichigo scowled a bit, not liking that he was going to have to leave his zanpakuto here with these people. Zangetsu had always been with him, and if he leaves it here half of his power will probably be cut from the long distance they will be apart from one another. He knew he was strong, but he didn't think his power will be enough to save Nel if he didn't have Zangetsu with him. Glancing over his shoulder, he looked a Moka to see both her and his daughter looking at him with worried expression on their faces. Growling in irritation, He gripped onto Zangetsu's hilt before quickly stabbing the large zanpakuto in the ground.
"Nothing bet not happen to my damn zanpakuto." He growled out darkly, "Because if something does happen then you better believe I'm coming for you fairy."
"... I promise nothing's going to happen to it," Lilith shuttered out in fear
Ichigo scoffed before turning to leave, "You better pray nothing happens to it."
"Kurosaki"
Ichigo stopped for a brief moment and looked back to see The Headmaster grinning at him. "What the hell do you want?"
Mikogami said nothing; he stood up from his desk and walked over towards the right side of his desk by the wall. Ichigo and the others watched as he seem to press his hands against the wall, a second later the wall seem to glow for a bit before it vanish to show a small opening in the wall. Reaching his hand in, Mikogami pulled out a something a quickly throw it towards Ichigo who caught it just before it would have it his face. Narrowing his eyes at him for a brief second; Ichigo looked down to see that he had caught a nodachi that was roughly or longer then the length of previous Tensa Zangetsu.
"Why are you giving me a sword?" Ichigo asked in suspicion
Mikogami chuckled, "It's a beautiful sword isn't it?"
That something Ichigo could not deny, the blade in his hands was nothing short of beautiful in it's own rights. The scabbard was pure black in color, and was covered by a red cloth that wrapped around the an octangular tsuba. The part of the handle that Ichigo could see was a pure black, with red diamond shaped crystals that with up the hilt. The sword was truly beautiful and for so reason Ichigo felt a connection to the blade just like Zangetsu, but he could not tell why. He felt a familiar aura around the sword, but it was far darker then he remembered, but he just couldn't figure out who this familiar aura belong to.
"Why does this blade feel somewhat familiar to me?" Ichigo asked but narrowed his eyes as he looked at the blade closely. "No, this blade somehow seems to be connected to me for some odd reason I do not know?"
Mikogami chuckled, "So you haven't figured it out yet."
"What do you mean figure it out?"
Taking his seat back at his desk, Mikogami glanced at Ruby with a serious look on his face. "Since you seem to be very good at history Ruby-san," He said. "Has Lady Oyakata every told you anything about the Mibu clan?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a cold aura seems to fall over the entire room. Tsukune became confused at this, looking around he became shocked as he saw that most of his friends had looks of anger on their faces. It greatly surprise him to see that even Yukari had an angered look on her face, the only two that really didn't seem angry about hearing that name was Moka and Kokoa. But even though they didn't have angry looks on their faces, each of them had serious looks on their faces. What was so important about this Mibu clan? And why did it struck the room into such silent's like this?
'Something's wrong here?' Tsukune thought. 'This Mibu clan must have did something horrible in the past or they were greatly fear for their power.'
"What does that a cursive clan have anything to do with that blade Mikogami-sama?" Ruby spat out in anger
Mikogami glared darkly at her, "I have no time for your anger problems Ruby-san." He said darkly, "Tell me what you have heard of the clan now."
Ruby shivered a bit, not really seeing him so angry before. "Forgive me Mikogami-sama!" She bowed, "It was out of my place to say something like that."
Mikogami wave her off, "You have nothing to worry about Ruby-san. Just tell me everything you know about the Mibu clan," He order her
Ruby nodded and fixed herself with a serious gaze, "Nothing's really known much about the Mibu clan." She began, "All my master did tell me was that they wiped themselves out after Youkai went into hiding almost two-hundred years ago."
Mikogami nodded, "You are a bit right about what was told to you." He said, "But that was only the beginning of what I thought Lady Oyakata had told you. But it looks like even she didn't know much about the Mibu clan."
"Why would you suddenly bring up a dead clan that was wiped out almost hundred and eighty years ago?" Kokoa asked seriously
Mikogami glanced at Ichigo, "Because that sword you have in your hand was forged by the Mibu clan."
Ruby along with the others eyes widen. "NANI?" The girls shouted in shock
Kokoa looked at the sword in Ichigo's hands in fear. "... Don't tell me that sword," She shuddered out
Mikogami grinned darkly, "Yes! That is the very same sword that was wielded by Chi no joo (Blood Queen)."
Ichigo narrowed his eyes, looking around a bit to see that most of the people in the room were visibly shaking with fear by just hearing that name. He glanced at Moka to see that she seem to be the only one not shaking like the other, but he could clearly see that hearing that name had shaking her up just a bit as well. Who the hell was this person to strike fear into youkai just by saying her name? And what did she do to cause this fear? Ichigo looked down at the sword in his hands to see it visible shaking for some reason. The orange haired shinigami gained a suspicious look in his eyes at this; who ever this person was must be very power to be able to do something like this.
"Who the hell is this person?" Ichigo asked, "And why do these clowns behind me seem to shake in fear because of this sword being forged by this Mibu clan?"
Mikogami chuckled darkly, "They have a reason to be a little scared Kurosaki," He said. "Tenro (Heavenly Wolf) as probably craved and killed hundreds of their ancestors." Sitting back in his seat, he looked at Ichigo with a dark grin across his face. "That nodachi your carrying is one of the four true Muramasa's, weapons of great power that were fear throughout the world long ago."
Ichigo looked at him interest, "And why would a bunch of weapons be feared throughout the world?" He asked
"They were feared because of the gruesome deaths each weapon as lead their former wielders to," Mikogami explain pointing towards Tenro. "Tenro is a legendary sword that brings gruesome deaths to those that wield it as the sword is said to have hunger for blood and wishes its masters to satisfy its insatiable lust for blood." He explained, "In the hands of Chi no joo, that demonic blade was capable of great destruction."
"So it's a powerful weapon that many feared and also many have wanted to have for their own," Ichigo said.
Mikogami nodded, "Kisuke as told you about why the Quincy were killed right?"
Ichigo nodded, "Something about the cycle of souls beginning to become unstable because of the way they killed Hollows."
"Correct, but that wasn't all that happen about that situation."
Ichigo narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean by that?"
Mikogami chuckled and glanced at Ruby, "I guess you are about to get your answers Ruby-san."
The black haired witch narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"
The Headmaster ignored her, "Quinces were around the first clan of spiritual aware humans able to absorb and manipulate Reishi in spiritual weapons, making them able to battle hollows."
"What are Hollows?" Yukari asked
"I will explain everything about Hollows and shinigami after you finish seeing Kurosaki's memories," Mikogami said.
Yukari blushed a bit in embarrassment, "Sorry for interrupting."
Mikogami nodded before continuing, "Because of the way they killed Hollows, it began to cause problems for shinigami. As you know Kurosaki, shinigami tried reasoning with them to tell them that they should be the only ones killing Hollows. But the Quincy refused to accept that beings that situation, saying that they should be the first line of defense to protect humans from Hollows. As time went on, the number of Quincy increased and the cycle of souls became more unstable, forcing the shinigami to declare war on them."
"What the hell do you mean war?" Ichigo asked coldly in confusion. "I thought that The Soul Society wipe out the majority of the Quincy? Not declare war on them."
Mikogami shook his head at that, "That was just a lie told to cover up that." He said, "Even though the Quincy were just humans with power, they were still a strong clan that was large and powerful enough to face The Soul Society on even terms." Suddenly a dark expression fell over his face, "But that's not the only race that Shinigami had declared war on."
"What?" Ichigo asked
"The other race that shinigami declared war on was none other than the entire youkai race as well," Mikogami said in a serious tone
Even though he did not show it, Ichigo was greatly shocked at hearing this. He had always thought that Soul Society had wipe out the Quincy, now he's being told that they declared war on them and the entire Youkai race as well, He didn't understand why they would do something like that, what was the reason for them to declare war on the youkai race as well? Something must have happen, and Ichigo wanted to find out why this supposes war happen between them.
"Why would Soul Society declare war on Youkai?" Ichigo asked
"Back then, Youkai were free to roam the world as they wish Kurosaki." Mikogami explained, "Killing humans and doing anything they possibly wanted at the time. Some mostly feed on humans, similar to what Hollow's and because of this reason Soul Society could not allow this to happen any longer."
Ichigo nodded, getting where this was finally going. "But what does this have to do with this Mibu clan you spoke about?"
Mikogami grinned, "Just like the Quincy, the Mibu clan was a group of highly powered people." He began to explained, "But unlike Quincy's, they were able to channel their spiritual pressure into any weapon they wielded. Making them more powerful then the Quincy and one of the reasons why the Quincy wasn't in good relations with them."
Ichigo scoffed, "So the Quincy's were just a bunch of jealous fouls because this Mibu clan was stronger than them."
Mikogami chuckled, "You could say that was the reason." He said, "Both clans actually hated each other with a passion and fought many battles against each other to prove their strength against one another. Each battle they did have the Mibu clan would come out on top, so when the Shinigami declare war on Quincy..."
"The Mibu clan took this as a chance to wipe them off the face of the earth." Ichigo finished, "So if this Mibu clan joined the Shinigami, the youkai must have join forces with the Quincy."
Mikogami nodded at that, "Yes they did join the Quincy against the Mibu and Shinigami." He explained, "Beginning the war where both your father and mother made a name for themselves."
Ichigo eyes went wide with shock, along with the others in the room around him. "What the hell do you mean my mother?" He growled out darkly. "Are you trying to play games with me you bastard? There's no possible way my mother should have been alive two-hundred years ago when a war broke out."
"I do not have a reason to lie to you about this Kurosaki," Mikogami said seriously pointing towards the nodachi in Ichigo's hands. "That very blade in your hands belong to your mother, Chi no joo (Blood Queen), the only woman in the world who beat Akasha Bloodriver and one of the soul reasons why Alucard was defeated."
For the first time in a long time, Ichigo's eyes widen in astonishment. 'What?'

End Chapter 13
Author Notes: Sorry for the long update! Last week I had gone on vacation with my girlfriend to Hawaii to spend some time together. As I said before, I just wanted to come up with a good past for Ichigo's mother since none was really made for her. Hope the one I came up with is good! Everything else will be explained in the next chapter along with the beginning of showing the others Ichigo's memories. Also don't think that I made Masaki the one that defeated Alucard because that is not what I'm trying to do. Just sit back and everything will be explained next chapter, along with about a good part of Ichigo's memories as well. Hoped you enjoyed! Also the last one to win in the pole was Aizen.
Reasons will be listen about a line below
High Intellect: Now both Aizen and Naraku are both very intellect, but this I would have to give to Aizen. This bastard is well verse the history, strategy, tactics of the Soul Society, and is privy to knowledge previously unknown to many, such as to knowledge previously unknown to many, such as the know of the existence of the Oken, even when he was only a Lieutenant. He was also able to create many Hollows and Arrancar while being able to avoid arousing any suspicion from the majority of his fellow Shinigami. He was also able to keep everything he was doing under wrap for 110 years, and only let it be revealed when he wanted to.
Naraku is smart, but he lets his plans be known to the world like a dumbass that's supposed to be smart. Most of the plans he did come up with fail miserable with him running away half dead most of the time. I seriously think (I may be wrong), that only one of Aizen's plans didn't work to what he thought. He never dreams that Ichigo would come back so powerful and have an attack that would be able to deny the Hogykou as its master. So Aizen wins this one in a land slide
Master Manipulator: Let's face it, Aizen wins this so bad that it's not really even funny. Naraku was able to manipulate Inuyasha, Kikyou into hating each other for supposedly killing each other. He also manipulated Sango's brother into killing their whole clan in about one night, but even with all that it doesn't come close to what Aizen as done. He experimented on eight of his own comrades and turn them into vizards, making their lives horrible by being hunted or killed if their every found by Soul Society. He also has been watching Ichigo since the bastards had been born, killed his mother to make him stronger and also made sure that he also became a vizard. He also was able to manipulate an army of very powerful Arrancars to fight for him, giving them false hope that each one wanted. This bastard wins this
Powers: Even though Naraku as some badass powers as well, I will have to give this to Aizen as well. His zanpakuto I think is unbeatable, if you see him release it once let's just say that will be your ass every time he walks or speaks in your direction. An example is when the captains and vizards thought they were killing Aizen, but they were actually killing Momo of all people. Naraku's barriers are cool, but that's all that seems to be working for him but it doesn't work much because Inuyasha as a way to break that barrier of his.
So Aizen wins with a land slide
Next are Ichigo and Inuyasha
Questions: Who as the most badass sword? Who as the ability to fight on par with master swordsmen's? Who as the faster growth rate? Whose inner demon transformations are more badass? Who's stronger? Who will win in a fight if the two fought?
Tell me in your review and thank you for reading!
Destiny Hearts: Give me a couple of days or a week to post the next chapter! I'm reading a manga right now that I will be using as the next world. Just got to read it to get everything I want to use right on point. Just can't put them in a world where I have no knowledge of and no plot at all to follow it with, which would be extremely stupid.
