Obsidian
Chapter 2: Zangetsu?
I don't own bleach
The river washed Ichigo bleeding on to the shore of a small fishing village the boy who found him pulled him out of the water and sent for the village headman. The entire village gathered to see the orange haired boy carried through the village by two men to the healers hut. It took all day for the village's healers apprentice to heal the boy's shoulder. When he awoke to an older man by his bed the man had long brown hair that went out wild down his back.
"Hello Ichigo it's been a long time" said the man
"Who are you sir asked Ichigo as pain ripped across his entire body. He grabbed his shoulder as tears rolled down his face.
"I am Zangetsu Tensho a friend of your father the last time I saw you were about four and you sisters were just born". He spoke studying the ten year old father taught both me and your father to fight as well he made these blades here he held up the daggers that Ichigo had on his belt.
"Why did my father have them"? Ichigo asked
"Because we use to travel the country and got into very sticky situations". He said inwardly laughed thinking to himself yep he's defiantly your kid Isshin. But enough you need to stay here and rests when you feel up to it come by my house north of town but only when you're ready.
"Ok" he said slightly as he slipped back into a deep sleep. Hours later the healers apprentice came back and entered the room, as he got to checking the kids wound.
"Well now you're looking better the magic is taking effect though you will always have this scar." He spoke timidly as the kid awoke.
"Who are you" Ichigo asked as he looked up at the older boy, he was short and about fifteen and had med length black hair and wore a green robe lined with pockets.
"I am Hanataro the apprentice healer to the town my master is better though" he replied scratching the back of his head.
"Thank you Hanataro" Ichigo said as he fell back asleep Hanataro only smiled and left to tend his other patients. Two days pass as he regains his strength Hanataro loaned him some of his old clothes a pair of brown pants and a blue shirt so he could dispose of his old bloody ones. He left to go to Zangetsu's house to explain his situation. Fifteen minutes of walking later and he reached his destination. Coming into sight he saw the house was also connected to a forge.
"Welcome Ichigo so u have finally come" he started but was cut off
"Please Teach me to fight" Ichigo practically screamed as he hit his knees
"And tell me why should I do that Ichigo"? Zangetsu asked and waited for the answer.
He looked up to the older man and spoke tears rolling down his face clutching the pendants around his neck that belonged to his sisters. "So that I never have to lose another person I care about and so that I can avenge the ones I lost".
"Ok boy this new life will not be easy but I will train you" the older man spoke thinking once again to himself Yea Isshin he's defiantly your kid. As they entered the compound Ichigo looked at the forge and it looked strange
"So what does that forge make it doesn't look like the one in Karakura at all" he asked
"Well you are observant now Ichigo that forge is to make magical weapons like the daggers that your father gave to you, were here", he spoke up as they reached a training ground with racks of wooden weapons. "Ok Ichigo now just pick the one that feels natural". As Ichigo ran his hand over the many different wooden practice swords and he stopped at a wooden katana that was about a full foot longer than a normal one. He picked it up and swung it a little and then spoke.
"This one Master Zangetsu" he said holding out the practice sword.
Good, boy now the next part of the training you must personally pick the materials for your sword were already using your fathers Runite daggers as a base but only you can pick out the other one follow me he said as he led Ichigo to the forge room laying out several strange materials one black one a dark green and the last wad a light blue Ichigo ran his hand over the metals and closed his eyes he felt strangely warm as he grabbed the second piece of the sword to come it was black as night and shimmered in the light slightly.
Is that all I need for my sword he asked cocking his head slightly in confusion.
"No there is only one more you must put a par of yourself into the sword" he said as he fired up the forge with bright blue flames rose from the ashes the a grate stone bowl was placed over the dancing flames as he tossed the daggers into the bowl and watched the melt as Ichigo brought over the black metal that Zangetsu called Obsidianite. He dumped it in and asked,
"So how do I add myself to the mix master?"
Just hold out your hand Ichigo this part may hurt a little", as he took out a small blade and cut Ichigo's finger and dropped the blood into the mix now the next time you see this you will have to name your sword the last part of making a magic blade is to seal it with a name. The forging process took about a month in which Ichigo trained his strength and stamina required to wield his sword once it was done. After a month and a half after the start of his stay at Zangetsu's place it was finished he came out of the forge room and ad handed him a bundle of cloth that was in the shape of a Katana only longer about a foot and a half longer than normal and had a chain attached to it with a crescent charm on the end.
"Wow! Master Zangetsu this is amazing its better than I ever imagined" he shouted as he unwrapped a long thin black katana with three sharp points on the back of the blade near the top down the center was blue markings like the phases of the moon the handle was wrapped in a pure white cloth.
"Yes Ichigo the shape and size is determined by you since you put your blood into it now boy seal it to you give it a name".
"He looked at it and called out to it obsidian moon" as his hand started to burn as the connection was made he screamed out "Lunara Dammit" as he passed out.
"So the boy already instinctively knows the goddess" Zangetsu lifted him up and carried him inside as he laid him on the cot in the corer he looked at the boys wrist and saw the results of the connection a burn in the shape of a tribal band around the entire wrist connected in the center on both sides with a moon symbol. Damn same as his fathers he thought to himself
"Hello Ichigo" Said a woman dressed in a long flowing dress a pail blue color with a cut that was so low that her ample cleavage almost spilled out, her hair was white as snow her eyes were blood red in words to him she was beautiful "Why did you curse me it was not I that made your connection to Obsidian moon it was made by you". She pouted like a little girl and poked him in the chest.
Though he was only eleven he blushed and turned his head slightly then spoke softly "Sorry Lady Lunara". She then pulled the boy into a tight hug running her hand down the scar that was given to him by one he believed to be his friend almost a year ago.
"It is alright Ichigo this is nothing compared to this one and just remember that no matter what you will always have me". With that she started to fade once more and everything went black once again he made her cry and he hated it.
