Chapter 1
-
Pale.
That's what Ichigo saw when he looked over the plain sands of Hueco Mundo. Nothing moved, and even the hollows had long hidden themselves in the forest that was their home.
Ichigo turned his attention away from the scenery of the hollow world, and looked over at his new band of nakama.
Grimmjow stood in his olden white clothes that used to mark him as part of Aizen's side looking bored,while next to him the talismantic twins looked stoic.
The twin both had straight black hair, and pale green eyes, that made them look very Ulquiorra-like. Neither wear masks or the shihakusho,because in fact alive.
Their names were Ame and Rae Sarashi.
Ichigo smiled at the nickname.
It was because of their powers that they and Ichigo met.
FLASHBACK
It was night time as Ichigo continued his patrol of the living world taking note of all the guard changes, and of all the battles Soul Society and Aizen's group participated in. Before Ichigo and Grimmjow could even think of trying to defeat either they needed a good deal of information about what was going on in the war.
So in response for the need for information, Ichigo tirelessly trained until he had master control over his reiatsu, and could very easily cloak it and go undetected, even among the captains of Soul Society itself (including the sou-taichou).
Though sadly Ichigo was left with one option.
He himself would have to gather intelligence for their side.
Thus Ichigo had (unhappily) giving himself the job of reconsoness (Grimmjow couldn't be stealthy for shit), and had been getting all the information they need.
Ichigo blended into the shadows of Karakura skillfully, and started to watch as the battle between a couple of weaker shinigami's went up against some low level hollow.
Ichigo mentally sighed.
Useless.
"COME OUT!"
Ichigo jumped slightly, and carefully made to look around taking care not to reveal his location.
A few feet away some shinigami appeared to be looking for someone. One of the soul reapers was carrying a teenage girl with straight black hair.
"COME OUT OR YOUR SISTER GETS IT!" The other shinigami said.
Ichigo silently fumed, even from this distance Ichigo could tell the girls were human, abet with some reiatsu but still human.
Only cowards would do something so underhanded.
/ You kidnapped that flowered-guy in Soul Society./ Shirosaki remind Ichigo.
Ichigo ignored him, and focused his attention on the situation before him.
Another girl identical to the hostage came out of no where.
"Release my sister." She said coldly.
The soul reapers ignored her.
"We make the demands. Come with us or we kill her." The one holding the girl said.
He quickly unsheathed his zanpakutou and inched it close to the hostage's throat.
"STOP!" The free girl said.
Ichigo's eyes narrowed, and he pulled his hand down over his face,bring forth his hollow mask.
Screw stealth, he was helping them.
Ichigo used shindo(1) and came out of the cover of the buildings. The night was moonless, and the area dark, Ichigo used this to his advantage and tore up the two weaklings quickly, but making appear like a hollow had killed them.
Then he carefully carried both girls and shindoed away.
FLASHBACK END
True to their nicknames the twins used talismans to release their reiatsu, and were quite skilled at it.
Ichigo faintly smiled at the memory, after that both girls nearly karate k.o. him (they made Tatsuki look like an amateur) until they found out he wasn't with Soul Society. It wasn't long after that they agreed to join Ichigo's side, and defeat both groups.
The last of Ichigo's nakama were Kinomi Takai, a rogue shinigami. (She choose to follow Ichigo because she was bored.)
She had short brown hair, and her zanpakutou control wind.
FLASHBACK
-Dawn in a deserted part of Karakura-
Ichigo slashed his sword cleaning it of the blood from his enemies.
Once again Soul Society was trying to capture him, and once again he had defeated the many shinigami officers they send after him.
Didn't they learn that they would never capture him?
Ichigo had long since trained himself harshly, and still did. Now he could very easily take on the captains, and probably the Sou-taichou. His hollow was a medium level Vasto Lorde, and he continued to grow in power.
Ichigo re-sheathed his sword.
It was time to go home.
" In trouble?" A voice said behind him.
Ichigo turned to look at the newcomer.
A girl a few inches shorter then himself sat on a piece of debri smiling at Ichigo.
"Maybe." Ichigo answered.
"Want company?" She asked.
"Not if you with Soul Society or Aizen."
Her smiled widen.
"Is a Rogue shinigami good enough?"
Ichigo surveyed her.
"How can I be sure your not a spy?" He asked carefully. He didn't need traitors in his team, and he really didn't know if he could trust this girl.
From what he could sense, was nothing more then an ordinary shinigami, still he couldn't be sure.
"You can't...yet. But Ame and Rae can vouch for me."
"We'll see." He decided.
FLASHBACK END
Kinomi proved to be trustworthy as Ichigo found out she had been exiled from Soul Society because she happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Though they were the only people of Ichigo's nakama, their list of allies was growing.
So far, their allies consisted of the vaizards, Nel and her brothers, Stark, Ulquiorra, and a huge group of Rencards(2),Senna (3), and a few Bountou(4).
That was something else Ichigo discovered. He discovered the Rencards.
Rencards were spirits that manage to revert back to their forms after being turned into hollows, and they like the vaizards, and bountou were outlawed because they were deemed a threat by Soul Society and-.
"Are we done yet?" Kinomi asked already bored with the sand of the hollow world.
"Kurosaki-dono, will say when." The twins answered.
Ichigo sighed. No matter how many time he had told the twin they still called him that.
"Hey, Grimmjow wanna spar?" Kinomi(5) asked the arrancar.
"Why bother? I'll kick your pansy ass...'berry'." Grimmjow said watching as Kinomi got angry.
She always hated when people called her that. She had it worst then Ichigo.
"You jerk!" She yelled bring out her zanpakutou.
"Bring Fruit Queen." Grimmjow retorted.
Ichigo sighed.
They were at it again. Couldn't they stop fighting for one hour?
The twins patted Ichigo on the back.
"ENOUGH ALREADY!" Ichigo yelled at the two.
After everything that happened to Ichigo it would seem that Kinomi and Grimmjow would do what Aizen and Soul Society couldn't...drive Ichigo crazy.
