NA: Hey guys! I'm sorry that I haven't posted any chapters lately but I was bored today so I decided to look at my emails. Someone reviewed and it totally boosted my eagerness to write another chapter. So this chapter is all about what happened between Ichigo and the Soul Society. I want to thank those who reviewed and even more thanks to Safuuru. And btw I'm not doing any Grimm bashing. It's just the way he is in the show and I decided to use it.
Disclaimer: I don't own bleach or its characters and I never will.
It had been a normal day just like any other. There were hollows, school and surprise attacks from Goat-face.
Ichigo was walking home from school with his school bag over his shoulder, when he felt like he was being watched. However when he looked around he could see no one. Shrugging off his instincts and his hollows warnings Ichigo continued on the path to his home. He yawned; it had been a while since he had gotten a good night's sleep. With the continuous hollows and Grimmjows repeated appearances he had gotten little sleep. He could practically feel the weakness that his body was giving off due to lack of sleep and he was worried that he might end up getting himself killed. So later that night he would be calling Uryuu to see if he could take over the hollows for a night or two.
When he got home he automatically dodged his father's surprise attack.
"YOU'RE LATE! HOW COULD YOU BE LATE FOR YOUR SISTERS WONDERFUL MEAL MY SON?" Goat face yelled as his son dodged and he hit the wall.
Ichigo growled back "What do you expect when you give a teenager a sev-"
Ichigo's response was cut off when Karin screamed from upstairs. Ichigo acted on instinct and ran upstairs and into his sisters' shared room to find that someone in form fitting black clothing holding a zanpakuto and swinging it at his young sister. Within one second Ichigo had pressed his badge to his body and blocked the assassin's zanpakuto with his own. That's when all hell broke loose.
Shinigami came crashing into Ichigo's home. He quickly knocked out the assassin in front of him then he grabbed Karin and ran downstairs where his father was in his Soul Reaper form. Ichigo decided to think about that later as he put Karin down and slashed at another assassin. There were lots of them but he wouldn't let them hurt his family. However there were more than he and his father could handle. Luckily in the nick of time there was a flash or purple and another of green.
Urahara and Yoruichi stand beside Ichigo as most of the assassins lay on the floor groaning in pain.
"Thank kami we're not too late to help." Urahara gives a sigh of relief and then turns to Ichigo, "They are after your friends as well Ichigo, I suggest that you go and make sure that they are all right. We will take care of things here then we will meet up with you later."
Ichigo nodded and gave a short 'thanks' before heading in the direction of his friends' reiatsu.
When Ichigo got there, some Shinigami were attacking his friends but not many so his activated his bankai and took them out. When he was finished he turned to his friends to see if they were hurt. Orihime had her shield protecting everyone from the previous hits from the zanpakuto.
"Are you guys alright?" Ichigo asked as he landed beside them and Orihime took down her shield.
"Yes we're fine Kurosaki, though what took you so long?" asked Uryuu in that smug tone of his.
Chad just 'Hm'ed and nodded his head. And Orihime blushed but nodded.
"I was a little busy dealing with the ones who were attacking my family. Urahara should be here in a minute. He and Yoruichi came to help us out and that's how I was able to come to your help." Ichigo explained.
True to his word Urahara showed up in a few minutes with Isshin following close behind.
"Ichigo I think it's time you and your and your friends and family went in hiding for a while. It is obvious that soul society has decided to act on the discovery of your hollow and they will be after you until you are dead or they have you in prison for the rest of your life." Urahara said, being serious right now.
Ichigo's face turned in to a look of betrayal. He just couldn't understand why they would do this to him. All he had ever done was protect them and save them and help them. But just because he has a hollow they were going to throw that all away just because they were suspicious of him betraying them and joining Aizen?
' 'm sorry King. But soul society won't back down. The old man doesn't like how you won't follow his orders and they've just been itching to get rid of a boy who once was known as a ryoka.' Shiro said in his head trying to clear some of the rain clouds that were forming in Ichigo's inner world.
Ichigo ignored him even though he knew the hollow was right, he just didn't want to believe that soul society would betray him.
With a sigh of frustration Ichigo sent his family and friends away to go into hiding. He would not back down. But he wouldn't be stupid either; he was going to the vizards to ask for help.
So with Urahara taking his loved ones to a secure hiding spot Ichigo turned to head in the direction of the Vizards hideout. When Shirosaki's voice rang loud in his head.
'KING! LOOK OUT!'
Shirosaki's worried and frantic voice reached his ears but sadly he was too late. Ichigo was already falling into unconsciousness as the 12th division captain crackled behind him. Kurotsuchi had hit him with his zanpakuto making him unconscious and paralyzed. The mad scientist picked up his new specimens body and opened up a senkaimon to the soul society.
When Ichigo woke up, he found himself strapped down to an operation table. The sixteen year old struggled as hard as he could but no matter what he did, he just couldn't get free. He sighed in frustration when a whiny voice penetrated the silence around him.
"Well, you certainly woke sooner than I would have expected"
The 12th division captain took a syringe full of a cloudy substance and injected it into Ichigo's body. Ichigo could feel it running through his veins. It was cold and painful but he refused to cry out in pain.
"What the hell did you put in me? What do you think you're going to do!"
"I'm going to experiment on you and that substance was to make it so that you would be paralyzed but still be able to feel pain and not pass out." The mad scientist replied as cut open Ichigo's stomach and began digging. And with that, Ichigo's torture began.
For several days Ichigo's body was messed with. The captain kept putting things in him that made him sick and other things that made his body burn. The mad man would cut open parts of his body and dig around to see what would happen. Muscles were ripped out and samples were taken. Then one day things got worse
As usual the scientist came in but today he had two daggers with him. One looked like a small zanpakuto and the other was a white dagger with an almost sickly green aura.
Ichigo open his eyes to look at his torturer. His eyes were red rimmed and puffy from crying but his eyes still had the determined glare and the fire in his eyes only burned hotter.
"It's time to try something new, not that your hollow has decided to help you out with the pain"
Ichigo's hollow had been taking over in order for his king to rest a little and not have to face so much pain. Shirosaki had a higher tolerance for pain but he too had his limits and they would soon discover them.
The scientist approached the restrained boy with the normal dagger first. He slashed a long cut across Ichigo's abdomen and he cried out. But then the hollow took over and for him the pain was nothing. This however didn't faze the scientist like it usually did. The man switch daggers and this time slashed a cut with the white and green dagger. In both the outside world and Ichigo's inner world, Shirosaki screamed in severe pain. Ichigo took control but as soon as he did so the scientist slashed him with the regular blade. Ichigo and Shiro kept switching trying to relieve the pain but the man was too fast and they were too tired. This went on for a few hours until Ichigo's body was covered in blood and his body was burning. When the man finally pulled back he spoke.
"This is a fitting punishment for your hollow powers. The information we gather for you will be of great use to us. I will be back tomorrow so that we can play some more". And with that he left the vizard on the table sobbing in pain.
In Ichigo's inner world the two look alikes were sobbing as they leaned on each other for support. Ichigo's mind was in disarray. His feelings of betrayal ran deep in soul and he knew that if they didn't get out here soon they would die.
"Shiro, we need to get out of here."
"I know King. But if we try what I thin' we should it's gonna hurt. Ya sure ya can handle that king?"
"Of course i can now what do you have planned"
"Well if you and me and the old man push all of our reiatsu out then maybe we can get out of these bindings and get out of this place".
"But where would we go? We have no clue where Urahara took my family or friends."
"Just leave it to me King"
"Fine just take me somewhere safe."
"Got it"
And with that the three all pushed their reiatsu out as much as possible. The bindings holding Ichigo's body down disintegrated. With Shiro taking most of the pain, Ichigo sat up and almost fell to the floor as a wave of vertigo hit him hard. Once he was able to move without the feeling of wanting to vomit he moved over to the door to get out of the reiatsu sucking room so that Shiro could get them out.
Alarms were going off in all of Soul Society, as the figure limped out of the room. His Soul Reaper clothes were in rags but that still covered him enough. Unknown to him three captains were racing to the hallway in which he stood.
Hurry the hell up Shiro, We're gonna get caught!
'Shut up I'm tryin'. It's hard to open one of these things when you can't control ya power Aibou'
Well try har-
Ichigo's thought was cut off as something black wrapped around his wrist effectively cutting his power in half. Then with a stab of pain in his back a black butterfly appeared in-between his shoulder blades. Moving as Quickly as he could he rolled out of the way of the second hit that would have killed him. He turned to see three captains behind him.
There behind him was Captain Soi Fon, Captain Komamura and Captain Kurotsuchi. Soi Fon had her zanpakuto in shikai and so did Komamura.
"Stop Ichigo Kurosaki, you are not allowed to leave. You are scum and you will die here." The small captain yelled in anger and once again attacked. Ichigo dodged and summoned his sword to his hand. It was a trick that Shiro taught him.
"Why are you doing this? All I've ever done was help and save you guys. I haven't done anything and what did my family and friends do to deserve any harm. They did nothing!" Ichigo yelled in anger.
"The family members are liabilities and your friends are in our way. You're an abomination!" Komamura yelled in disgust.
'Finally' Shiro thought
And it was then that the portal opened and Komamura chose that second to hit Ichigo with one of his enlarged fists. Ichigo flew into the portal with the captain following close behind him.
