AU- Funeral
Ichigo decided he didn't like funerals. He only sort of understood why his mother was making him go to this one. It had to do with the Quincy thing. His mother was telling him about the Quincy thing.
It all started three months ago, when he was walking home with his mother and saw a girl by the river. Only now he knows it wasn't really a girl, but a "hollow" trying to trick him into thinking he was a little girl. Mom was starting to explain about the "hollows." Apparently, they were these monsters, but they weren't always monsters, they used to be ghosts. So they were ghosts that turned into monsters, and his mother fights them, or fought them. Just after he saw her kill the monster with her superhero bow (because obviously if his mother is fighting monsters then she is some like of super hero like you see in manga or American comics), Mom collapsed. At first he thought that she had just exerted herself too much killing the monster because it was super strong, but apparently Mom might have lost her powers for some reason that she hadn't quite explained to Ichigo. Ichigo has overheard her talking to Dad about it, but he didn't really understand.
Anyway, the dead woman had had super spirit powers too, and she had lost them the same day as mommy, but apparently she was really sick and so she died without her super power. Ichigo was really glad that his Mom hadn't died that day. He wasn't sure what he would have done; Mom was the center of the whole family.
Mom was super paranoid these days though. Apparently he had spirit powers like Mom which meant that more of those monster things would attack him. Ichigo thought the monsters were really scary, but if he could do the arrow thing like Mom then maybe he would be fine. However, Mom didn't seem too keen on Ichigo learning to becoming a Quincy (that meant one of the people who could do the cool arrow thing). Instead she decided to take him here, although Ichigo had no idea how that would help anything.
Furthermore, there only seemed to be one other person his age here too, a dark hair boy with glasses that kept crying. Ichigo had asked why the boy was crying so much, and was told that the dead woman was the boy's mother. Ichigo wondered if that meant that she was the center of his family like Mom was the center of theirs. It made Ichigo really glad that his mother was still alive. He would have cried at least twice as much if Mom had lost her powers before she could kill the monster, and it had killed her. Ichigo didn't really know what to say to the crying boy, but he decided that he would remember him- Ishida Uryuu, the other boy with a super hero mom.

Author's Note: So this is me trying to write like a 9 year boy thinks- feel free to mock. It might be a stretch to call this a Katagiri fic, but why hasn't fanfiction exploded with "for want of a nail" style fics now that we know what happened with Ichigo's parents? As always I own nothing.
