Now just so you know only Tessai and Hachi will be using the honorifics
Chapter 4
It's been a whole month since Rukia and his sister Naruko came to Karakura town and in that month Rukia transferred her powers to Ichigo so she could save her family. Ichigo and her sisters found out that their mother was still alive and her death was faked while also finding out that they were all born as souls. Ichigo had dealt with a hollow that was after her friend Orihime who turned out to be her brother. And hollow that causing trouble for a spirit possessed bird and a Quincy that hated all shinigami because they destroyed the Quincy clans.
It was around the last week of the month that both Ichigo and Naruto noticed that Rukia was distancing herself from them as well as being unfocused, and she seemed to be depressed. It was then that Naruto noticed his sister acting strange he may have only known her for a month but he could tell that the way she was acting wasn't normal she was always looking over her shoulder for some reason. Naruto had figured that it was because Seireitei would be coming to get them soon since there haven't returned. But one thing was sure they would not lay a hand on his sister.
At Ichigo's house
Ichigo had just returned from help Chad's house. He had gotten badly hurt protect her little sister from the hollow attack that was caused by a classmate of there's Uryu Ishida one of the last Quincies so she was helping him out until gentle giant was healed.
She didn't bother saying hi to anyone since they were at Urahara's trying to get Yuzu and Karin to unlock their Zanpakuto's. So she made her way to her room and was surprised that Rukia wasn't there but she did notice a note on her desk with a drawing of "Chappy the Rabbit" in the corner with the word "hint" next to it. It took a few minutes, but she figured out that the message had way too many "R's" in it.
Once he had removed the R's that didn't fit with the note, it read, "Ichigo, it appears as if I can no longer stay here in the World of the Living. Circumstances have risen to the point that I will be taken away back to Seireitei. Please, don't come for me; I've already accepted my fate. Your friend, Rukia."
He dropped the note in shock. Rukia, the shinigami that help her save her family from the hollow that attacked them, the one who taught her what she knows about shinigami. She was so shocked that she ran out of the house and to Urahara so she could get out of her Gigai. Please don't let me be late. She thought running out of the house and down the road.
With Naruto
Naruto had received the same kind of letter that Ichigo had gotten from Rukia which is why he was currently running on the roof tops running after his sister knowing full well that she would be charged for helping Rukia stay in the world of the living and not taking her back and killing Ichigo after what she did.
"Damn it Naruko I told you to stay in the house it's the only place that they wouldn't find you." Naruto growled as ran after his sister reiatsu signal.
"Naruto calm down!" A voice says from with in his head.
"No Naru-chan I won't." Naruto said increasing his speed even more. "They won't take my sister I won't let them." Naruto growled as he caught sight of Ichigo in her soul form. "Ichi-chan." Naruto shouted jumping down from the roof.
"Naruto what are doing here?" Ichigo asked look at him as he came running up to her.
"Naruko left me a note say she was going back Seireitei." Naruto said as they both started running after the girls. "And my guess is that Rukia did the same to you." Naruto said getting a nod from her.
With Rukia and Naruko
Both Rukia and Naruko were running in the rain, trying to get away from the main part of town so they could head to the park. They had just turned the corner to enter the park when they saw it, the doors of a Senkaimon opening. What shocked Rukia the most was who was on the other side while Naruko just closed her eyes since only Rukia knew them the most while she only he the one of them since she was his third seat.
One was a man with red hair tied in an upward ponytail, tattoo markings over his eyebrows, a white cloth headband, and a Lieutenant's Badge tied around his left bicep. He was Renji Abarai, the Lieutenant of Squad 6.
The other was a man with black hair that had a white headpiece in it, a white scarf around his neck, and a white cloak with the symbol for Squad 6 over his shihakusho. He was Byakuya Kuchiki, the Captain of Squad 6.
"Well, look at this. We already found you, two…" Renji said.
Both of them were ready to accept their capture before two high level reiatsu sources were felt. Both automatically knew who they were and while Rukia couldn't help but smile sadly while thinking. 'Idiots… I knew they'd come, but I wished that they didn't. But, I guess friends really can't stand to see another friend in trouble.'
Naruko on the other hand was worried not for her brother and her orange haired friend Ichigo, she was worried about the two who came to take them back to Seireitei she was afraid that Naruto would kill them for trying to take her away. "Naruto please just go home and forget about me." She thought looking in the direction of the source.
When Byakuya and Renji felt the reiatsu sources they were surprised by how strong they were. One was a third seat but was slowly increasing the closer it got while the other was that of several lieutenants combined and it was also increasing as it got closer.
"Renji." Came the monotone voice of Byakuya. "Get ready."
"Yes, sir."
Once Renji replied the sources that were admitting the reiatsu landed in front of them both were pissed off but they were pissed off at different things Ichigo because these two people were trying to take his friends, while Naruto was glaring at his sister.
"Evening, Captain Kuchiki, Lieutenant Abarai." Naruto said in a calm voice shocking them that the blond knew who there were.
"I must ask how do you know are names." Byakuya asked with emotionless voice.
"That is none for your business." Naruto said with a flat tone. "Now hand the girls over." Naruto said.
Byakuya replied, "I'm afraid that we cannot do that. They are charged with treason Rukia for giving her powers to a human and Naruko as her accomplice so the must be punished for their crimes."
Naruto lowered his head and his bangs shadowed his eyes. "I see than please for give me for what I'm about to due." Naruto said pulling out Kekkei Genkai. "For if you won't hand them over nicely I'll take them by force!" Naruto says putting his Zanpakuto in front of him as it glows. "Now than release the limits of the blood Kekkei Genkai!" Naruto says in a whisper making his Zanpakuto disappear from sight. "Be proud that you get to see my Shikai." Naruto says as he stood in front of them with a different look his hair turned red while the whisker marks vanished and his eyes turned a light purple with three rings in them while his reiatsu sky rocketed to the of two captain combined.
"Ichigo you take the redhead, I'll take the captain." Naruto said to the girl as Byakuya merely raised an eyebrow at that. He then saw Naruto disappear using one of Kekkei Genkai's special abilities and with in seconds Naruto was in front of Byakuya and then both were gone. While Renji looked around for the two Ichigo use this moment to start her battle with Renji.
Naruto vs. Byakuya
The two appeared about half a mile into the park and jumped away from each other. Byakuya was impressed with the blonde's skill. Not many people were able to pull one over on him, but this boy was able to easily.
"You know my name but I don't know yours." Byakuya said to the blonde.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." He said getting a shocked look from Byakuya.
"So you are related to Naruko then." Byakuya asked getting a nod from Naruto.
"Yes she is my sister." Naruto said as Byakuya gave an understanding nod.
"I see so that is why you wish to save her." Byakuya said. "I Byakuya Kuchiki, captain of squad six will stop you then." Byakuya said.
Naruto shook his head at what was said and formed a sword out of thin air made of crystal and then charged at Byakuya. Byakuya pulled out his sword and was parrying Naruto's strikes with some difficulty. But Naruto then charged at him in a yellow flash, but the Kuchiki Head was able to dodge with a well-timed Shunpo.
"Very good Captain Kuchiki not many are fast enough to dodge an attack when use a Kaminari Shunpo." Naruto stated with a smile.
"Kaminari Shunpo." Byakuya asked a little interested in the technique that the blonde used.
"Yes a technique of my own design." Naruto said.
"I see." Byakuya said with a nod before charging at him again while they were exchanging blows when felt then felt Ichigo's reiatsu fall drastically.
"It seems that we are going to have to cut this short Kuchiki." Naruto said as vanishing in a flash.
With Ichigo
(The fight is the same as the canon)
When Naruto appeared Ichigo was lying on the ground in a pool of blood but was still alive barely. Naruto knew only one way to save her and that was to get her to Urahara's and but first he had to get his sister. Renji noticed him and swung his Zanpakuto at him only to miss as Naruto flashed over to Naruko and grabbed her by the wrist before flashing over to the side of Ichigo.
"You my have beat her today Abarai but the next time you won't get so lucky." Naruto said flashing away from the scene with his sister and a bloodily Ichigo.
"Captain what do you we do." Renji asked as he noticed his captain appear in front of him.
"We head home there is nothing we can do." Byakuya said as he opened the Senkaimon and walked through with Rukia and Renji following after him.
Urahara's shop
When Naruto appeared in Urahara's shop he appeared in front of Ichigo's family who were wearing their shinigami garb there were all sitting around a table talking we Naruto appeared shocking them.
"Urahara get Ichigo to a room she badly hurt." Naruto said looking at Urahara and then to the bloodily Ichigo.
"Right! Tessai pick her and take her to a room." Kisuke said looking at the big man. Tessai Tsukabishi is a tall, muscular, lightly tan-skinned man. His hair is cornrowed and he has a large handlebar mustache, which is connected to his long sideburns. He wears a pair of rectangular-shaped glasses. His attire consists of a white muscle shirt with regular pants and a blue apron.
"Naruto what happened to my daughter." Masaki asked as Isshin followed Tessai out of the room to help heal his daughter.
"She went up against a Lieutenant of the Gotei thirteen trying to get Rukia back." Naruto said pushing his sister down on her knees. "While she was face the Lieutenant I was going up against the Captain not to long into the fight I noticed Ichigo's reiatsu dropping so I ended the battle and went to Ichigo only to find that she was laying in pool of her own blood." Naruto said. "I was only able to get Naruko and Ichigo out of there before the captain came back." Naruto said glaring at his sister who was currently looking at the ground.
"Now if I know Ichigo she'll go to Seireitei to save her friend from death." Naruto said before letting a loud sigh. "But that right there lays the problem." Naruto said looking over at Masaki. "Ichigo's shinigami power is not her own." Naruto said as Karin spoke up.
"What do you mean not her own." Karin asked.
"Karin the bulk of the reiatsu she has right now belongs to Rukia." Naruto said as Masaki formed a frown on her face knowing what he was going to do. "In order to get her to use her own powers we need to take Rukia's power away but in order to do that we need to sever her soul chain with out killing her." Naruto said as Isshin came into the room.
"Well I have good news and bad news everyone." Isshin said with frown.
"Bad news first Isshin!" Naruto says looking over his shoulder.
"All right the bad news is that Ichigo is no longer a shinigami she just a regular soul." Isshin said clenching his fists. "Some how the Lieutenant's blade severed her soul chain." Isshin said.
"And the good news!" Naruto says as he stood up and turned to look Isshin in the eye.
"The good news is that Ichigo will make it was your quick thinking that saved her Naruto." Isshin said with a smile.
"Well then Kisuke you know what to do." Naruto said looking over at Kisuke.
"Right the shattered shaft training." Kisuke said hiding behind his mask as Yuzu spoke up.
"Um! Urahara-san what's the shattered shaft?" Yuzu asked with curiosity as Karin wondered the same thing.
"The shatter shaft is a trial that allows a human soul to gain the powers of a shinigami if they are lucky that is." Kisuke said causing Karin ask the next part.
"What happens if the person fails to become a shinigami?" Karin asked knowing everything has a price as her father spoke up.
"If that happens Karin then we would have to kill the person before he or she becomes a hollow." Isshin said in a monotone voice shocking his daughters at the thought of loosing their older sister.
"Don't worry you two you're sister is far stronger than you think." Naruto said with a small smile. "Now than once she up and you have explained everything to her call me." Naruto said walking over to Naruko.
"Where are you going Naruto?" Masaki asked wondering why he was leaving.
"Home so Naruko and me can talk about the stupid action she took early today." Naruto said placing a hand on his sister's shoulder and used hiraishin to get them back to the house.
"Well then I guess we should head home and get some sleep." Isshin said to his family before turning to Kisuke. "Call us when she wakes up." Isshin said getting a nod from Kisuke.
"Of course!" He says smiling behind his fan as the rest of the Kurosaki family got up and left.
Naruto's room
When they appeared in his room Naruko was the first to start talking. "Well that went better than I thought want to do think." Naruko asked her brother who was smirking at what happened early.
"It went just as planned but I'm still shocked that you want to help." Naruto said as he looked at his sister with a smile who just shook her head.
"You're my brother Naruto so I follow you until the end of time." Naruko said sitting down on the bed. "I just hope that your plan works." Naruko said as Naruto fell on to the bed backwards.
"Don't worry it will." Naruto said closing his eyes as Naruko did the same but laid her head on her brother's chest before closing her eyes.
"I hope so." Naruko said as sleep laid it clam to her just like her brother.
the following morning at Urahara's
When Ichigo had woke up she was assaulted by the memory of what happened last night she tried getting up only for a someone to tell her not to move looking up she to were the voice came from she noticed Urahara and Tessai standing in the door way.
"Don't move to much Ichigo you're still hurt and haven't fully healed yet." Urahara said as Tessai walked in to the room with a cup of tea.
"Why am I here? What happened to Rukia and Naruko." Ichigo asked sitting up not even caring about the pain.
"You're in a spare room in my shop, Naruto brought you here after you wounded from your fight against the Lieutenant last night." Urahara said snapping his fan shut. "And as for the other two well miss Namikaze is safe and sound at the Namikaze compound while miss Kuchiki was taken back to Seireitei." Urahara said.
"We have to save her." Ichigo shouted trying to stand up only to fall down.
"You can't do anything with out your shinigami power miss Kurosaki." He said be for turning around. "Now rest while I go and tell your family that you're awake." He said before walking away.
The Naruto and Naruko
Naruto was always the first to wake up while his sister would wake up two minutes after with messy hair and a cute face but this time when he woke up he noticed that his sister was sleeping with her head on his chest and her arm wrapped around him in which it had brought a smile to his face.
"Hey come on Naru-chan time to get up." Naruto said brushing a strand of hair out of her face.
"Ret me reep (let me sleep)." Naruko said trying to bury her head into her brother chest.
"Come Naruko we have things to do." Naruto said shaking his sister.
"But I want to sleep your chest is so warm." Naruko said rubbing her head on his chest.
"Fine have it your way." Naruto said as he reach his hand around her body until he felt his sisters breast and gave it a squeeze making Naruko jump out of bed with a yelp as she covered her breasts with her arms.
"You pervert feeling up your own sister." Naruko shouted while trying to fight back a blush that was coming.
"Not my fault you didn't get up when I told you now get your cloths and take a shower." Naruto said getting up out of bed. "When you're done come down stairs." Naruto said as he made his way to the door looked back at his sister with a smile before opening the door and walking out.
In the kitchen
As Naruto walked down the stairs and in to the kitchen he noticed everyone was staring at him for some reason.
"Is there a reason why you are all staring at me." Naruto asked.
"Has the piece been played." Shinji asked speaking in code.
"Yes the first piece as been played." Naruto said walking over to the table and sitting down. "Now we wait for Ichigo to play her piece and once she as the game is on." Naruto said getting a nod from everyone at the table. "But you do realize when they show themselves and leave Seireitei, my mother and father will come down from the palace demanding to know whats been happening." Naruto said looking around the table.
"We know Naruto and as much as we don't wont to deal with Seireitei." Kensei said letting out a loud sigh before continuing. "But we want to get back at Aizen for what he did to us." Kensei said as everyone nodding.
"Kensei's right about getting back at Aizen." Lisa said looking up from her book. "And it would be nice not always looking over are shoulders for any shinigami that might remember us." Lisa said looking over at Naruto.
"I'll always follow you Naruto-kun." Mashiro said joyfully with a smile.
"We already know you would since you follow him around like a lovesick puppy." Hiyori said glaring at her.
"I do not." Mashiro shouted with a blush.
"Yes you do Mashiro-san." Rose said looking over at her.
"Well Mashiro-san I have to agree with Hiyori-san and Rose-san." Hachi said making Mashiro go wide eyed.
"Hachi not you to!" Mashiro says with wide eyes at what Hachi just said.
"Naruto what's for breakfast." he heard his sister call out to him as she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen she was wearing a blood red kimono with the earring in the shape of the Uzumaki family crest.
"Well on today's menu are pancakes." with eggs over easy and a side of maple bacon. Love said making Naruko flash to her chair with drool coming out of her mouth.
"Naruko you're drooling again." Naruto said snapping his fingers in front of her face making her snap out of her daze.
"Sorry." Naruko said wiping the drool away before she stacked her plate full of food and started eating as the doorbell was heard.
"I'll get it." Naruto said getting up out of his chair. "Why cant people just wait until noon to start bugging you." Naruto said making his over to the door. "Yes can I help." Naruto said opening it only to see Tessai standing on the other side.
"Good morning Naruto-sama." Tessai said with a bow. "Forgive me for not calling ahead to tell you that I was coming but Urahara-san wishes for you and Naruko-sama to come over to the shop." Tessai said as Naruto sighed and nodded his head.
"All right." Naruto said before turning around to yell to his sister. "Naruko." Naruto shouted.
"What." She shouted back.
"Take a few strips of bacon for the road Kisuke needs us." Naruto shouted getting a muffled ok out of his sister.
"Now why does he need us." Naruto asked as his sister can out of the kitchen with a piece of bacon in her mouth and a couple on a paper plate and walked up to him as Tessai explained what was going on.
Flashback
"Ichi-nee you're all right." a voice said making Ichigo look towards the door to her your little sisters Yuzu and Karin with are mom and dad right behind them.
"Yuzu." Ichigo said as said girl ran over and hugged her making her wince a little for the pain.
"So how are you feeling Ichigo." Her mother asked.
"I feel fine." Ichigo said looking over at her mother. "But is what Urahara told me true that my shinigami powers are gone." Ichigo asked as her father spoke up.
"I'm afraid so Ichigo your soul chain was severed we had managed to fix it but your shinigami powers are gone." Isshin said making Ichigo drop her head.
"But what about Rukia! We have to save her." Ichigo says lifting her head up.
"Well luckily there's a way to get your powers back." Urahara said from behind his fan.
"How." Ichigo asked.
"It's special training that will allow soul to become shinigami's." Urahara said snapping his fan shut. "But that there is the problem you weren't born with physical body so you wont have a chain of fate, which is needed for you to be able to do the training." Kisuke says as a dark aura appeared around Ichigo.
"Then why the fuck did you even say anything." Ichigo shouted.
"Just to get your hope's up." Urahara says before doing the one thing he promised he wouldn't do tell them who Naruto really was. "But there is a way to get them back but only those of the spirit kings family can do it." Kisuke said.
"What do you mean?" Isshin asked wondering what Kisuke was taking about.
"It's hard to explain and hard to believe even when the king to me him self." Kisuke said closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing. "You see the king and his offspring have the ability to grant shinigami powers to those they trust and love." Kisuke said.
"So then all we have to do is ask this spirit king for help." Yuzu said.
"No the spirit king lives in another dimension opposite of Seireitei." Kisuke said as Ichigo started glaring at him again. "But his son and daughter are right here in this very town." Kisuke said making the Kurosaki family look at him wondering how he would know the only one that didn't was Masaki as she knew he was talking about Naruto and his younger sister. "But the thing is getting prince Naruto and princess Naruko to actually do it." Kisuke said looking over at Tessai as the Kurosaki's went wide eyed at what Kisuke just said. "Tessai if you would be so kind as to and get them!" Kisuke says looking at Tessai with a smile.
"Of course Urahara-san!" Tessai says with a bow before walking out of the room.
"Naruto and Naruko are the king's children." Isshin said with a shocked look.
"Yes they are. Now make you're self's at home it will take Tessai a little while to get them." Kisuke said sitting down.
Flashback end
"And that's why I'm here." Tessai said as Naruto was growing red with anger.
"Damn him." Naruto growled placing a hand on Naruko and Tessai. "Hiraishin." He shouted as they felt the house in a yellow flash and appeared right in front of everyone in Urahara's shop.
Urahara's
"Kisuke." Naruto shouted as the three of them appeared in front of the Kisuke and the Kurosaki.
"Ah prince Naruto, princess Naruko thanks for coming." Kisuke said only to find a hand around his throat.
"Why the fuck did you tell them." Naruto shouted gripping Kisuke's throat.
"I'm sorry but only you and your sister can restore Ichigo's power." Kisuke said feeling Naruto's hand tighten around his throat.
"I told you to use the shattered shaft." Naruto growled.
"It…came…to…me…last…night…that…Ichigo…doesn't…have…a…physical…body…so…the…shatter…shaft…won't…work…on…her." Kisuke struggled to say with the grip Naruto had on his throat.
"Can't do it." Naruto said letting Kisuke go.
"Can't do it. Don't you know how." Kisuke said rubbing his throat.
"No I know it. It's just that if I do it she'll gain everything that I can do." Naruto said knowing if he did it she'd get a hollow mask, but since he and the other could help he wasn't that worried about the mask. He was afraid that he would lose her he just couldn't live with her gone.
"Naruto it's not your choice." Ichigo said looking him in the eye. "It's mine and I want you to do it. I need to save Rukia." Ichigo shouted as she stood up.
"Well then good luck with at because I'm not helping." Naruto said only to be slammed up against the wall.
"Naruto you will return my powers." Ichigo growled.
"No." Naruto said looking away.
"What! Why the hell not." Ichigo shouted.
"Because i…" Naruto tried to say as tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Because what? Because you don't care what happens to Rukia?" She shouted.
"No because I love you Ichigo." Naruto said turning his head back to look her in the eye as he stood there with shock. "That's why I won't do it Ichi-chan it's because I love you and I'm afraid that I would lose you!" Naruto says with tears still rolling down is cheeks.
"Did he just say he loves me." Ichigo thought.
"It's about time he confessed his love for Ichi-nee." Yuzu and Karin thought look a Naruto with a smile on their faces.
"Come on sweetheart." Masaki thought knowing that her daughter had a crush on Naruto from what her daughter asked her a week ago.
Flashback one week ago
Ichigo had just got home from school and was sitting on her bed in front of her mother with her legs crossed twiddling her fingers
"So what did you what to ask me sweetheart." Masaki asked her daughter.
"How do you know if you love someone." Ichigo asked looking at her mother who just had a smile on her face.
"Why is there someone that you love." Masaki said getting a blush from her daughter.
"I don't know I mean when I'm around him I always blush, my heart beats faster, it even feels like I have butterflies in my stomach, and I just cant help but smile every time I'm around him." Ichigo said with a blush.
"Well some of those are signs of having a crush on someone Ichigo-chan." Masaki said looking her daughter in the eye. "So who the lucky one that stole your heart?" Masaki asked her daughter with a grin on her face as Ichigo muttered something under breath. "What was that sweetheart I could hear." Masaki said.
"It's Naruto." Ichigo whispered again making her mother frown.
"Ichigo-chan I still couldn't hear you." Masaki said with a frown.
"It's Naruto." Ichigo shouted getting a smile from her mother.
Flashback end
"Y-you l-love me." Asked with shock.
"Yes I love you Ichi-chan I have since middle school." He said biting his lip.
"Than if you truly love me Naru-kun return my powers so you don't have to be afraid of losing me." Ichigo said looking Naruto in the eye.
All right there's chapter four hope you like it. now the main reason for not using the shattered shaft was explain how can a soul use it if he/she does not have a chain of fate so I made it to where Naruto and his family could restore or give someone the abilities of a shinigami while also getting the knowledge of how to use kido and since in the canon Ichigo had a hollow mask I had to make it so she will get it as well. Now then well Naruto give into her request and give her back her shinigami powers.
