Me: OMG! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY! Dun kill meh! TT_TT
Yuno: We apologise for being late. The computer was acting up.
Yuna: Please accept our humble apology.
Gin: Guest star hint! She's bad! She's cool! She kicks hard, has a sharp tounge, and the person she resembles the most personality wise is a red-head going through a major identity crisis!
Me: I'm sure you know who this person is. ROLL CHAPTER!
(Kurosaki Household)
" Hey guys! I'm home!" Said Ichigo as he entered his home. The sword that had appeared to him during his time of need against the masked monsters had disappeared and where to he didn't know nor did he dwell on it too much. Halloween was always a weird day. More inportantly, why was he hearing feet stomping toward him ag-oh.
" IIIIIIIIIICHIIIIIIIIIIIIG-UGH!" Isshin's routine charge to hit Ichigo failed once again as Ichigo stepped to the side and let Isshin run out the open door and fall on his face. Ichigo quickly closed the door behind him, a scowl firmly planted on his face. That stupid routine was getting annoying.
" Hey Ichi-nii! I got your food ready!" Said a happy Yuzu. Ichigo grinned slightly and thanked her. As he turned away from a dumbstruck Yuzu he saw Karin staring at him with wide eyes, her spoon half way to her mouth. Ichigo was confused and he said so.
" You're grinning!" Karin shouted. Who was this poser pretendiong to be her big brother!? I mean, Ichigo did NOT grin. Smile, yes. But grin? HECK NO! That only happened when-when...
" Yea. So?" Karin didn't answer as a look of realization came onto her face and she quickly gained a look of sad understanding. Yuzu had that look on her face aswell, knowing the only occasion Ichigo grinned.
" Oh. Poor Ichi-nii. Here, eat your dinner, I'll get dad."
" Yea. Just eat Ichigo."
" Um... Okaay." Ichigo said, digging into his rice. ' Everyone acting so wierd.' He thought as he put food into his mouth. Ichigo quickly finished his dinner and went to his room, oblivious of the glances sent his way from his loving, worried family.
' I KNEW something bad was gonna happen to Ichi-nii.'
' Ichigo, what happened tonight? You don't really seem sad...'
' Son...Why? Why do you have the aura of a shinigami around you? Five of them at that...'
(Ichigo's room'
Ichigo stared up at the ceiling, looking back at what happened back there at the park. '" Rage across the seas and heavens, Nejibana!"' That phrase. That name. So familiar, and yet not. As his thoughts started to wander, they were interupted by a voice frighteningly similar to his own.
' Hey, Ichigo! How you doing?'
' Oh. It's you again. My concionce right?'
' You got that right partner!'
' Can I ask you something? Why's everyone acting so weird?
' Yeah. Right. You're the one acting strange.'
' And I'm acting weird? How all I'm doing is acting normal.'
' Yeah, you GRINNING is normal. When do you usually grin, huh Ichigo?'
' When my mo-oh...That's why. Everyone thinks that someone I know died.'
' Bingo! You got it. But, personally, I don't it's too bad. Seeing as it'd be easier to fuse that way...'
' What'd did you say?'
' DAMMIT! You didn't hear that! Hey! BAKAYARO! Listen to me! Don't block me-!'
But block his concionce Ichigo did and he searched his mind for something, anything that would help him understand. He found it in the form of a mentle block. He focused hard, unknowingly slowing building up his spirtual energy a bit and forced the imaginary barrior away. Knowledge of his conversation with his concionce-no, Kaien Shiba surged forth and he gasped from the sudden information and the effort of his trying to break the block. After a while of calming down and taking deep breathes, Ichigo decided to communicate with Kaien.
' ...Oi, teme. You're a moron, you know that?' Ichigo thought to Kaien, a look of utter boredom etched upon his features.
' Eh? You're not gonna mangle me?' Kaien thought, clearly surprised. Seriously, how was he not mad at him?
' Eh. To tired.' Ah. That explained things a bit. He was like that too.
Silence fell again. This time Kaien broke it.
' So...You're not going to go crazy knowing that we are going to fuse and become one person?'
' I learned I could see ghosts when I was a little kid and found out no one else could besides members of my family and lost my mom around the same time. I'm 'friends' with the schools living breathing comic releifs. My best friend is a guy I call Chad who is the biggest, strongest guy at school, who is also of Mexican decent. My childhood friend is an extreme tomboy named Tatsuki. The only other female friend of mine is a nice girl named Orihime and her taste in food is...Unatural. My dad's a nut and my little sister are twins that are like exact opposites. I should have gone crazy a LONG time ago.'
' Er...Right, my bad. I forgot.'
' You live in my head!'
' I was sleeping!'
'...You can sleep?'
' Yeah, surprisingly. I can sleep as long as I want to and get energy from my naps. So since I slept for, say, your entire life, which would be 15 years, I don't have to sleep for 30 years.'
' Nice.'
' I know.'
' But wouldn't the fuse be easier if I got a memory from you, like once a day?'
Shocked silence. Then came the small chuckles, followed by histeric laughing which turned into uncontrolled guffaws. Ichigo closed his eyes and opened them to see not his darkened room, but a grey city, the force of gravity making him stand on the sides of the buildings, and black-haired, blue-eyed clone of him laughing his ass off.
Blink.
Wait, what!?
" OI! That you Kaien? AND WHERE THE HELL AM I!?" The only red-head(and other person)in this weird place, shouted.
" Ahaha! C-Coming Ichigo! Ahaha!" And Kaien came over and explained where Ichigo was.
(30 minutes after in sideways city)
" So let me get this straight." Sighed Ichigo running his short rusty orange hair.
"This place represents my mind and the weather changes depending on my mood." A nod was his answer and he brought his right hand up to pinch the brisge of his nose as a way to ward of the oncoming headach.
" I can enter my mind, by either getting pulled in by you or by focusing on coming here while concious or by meditation." He got another nod and he started to massage his temples.
" When I'm in here, I could be here for about 5 hours and time outside would be about half a second." Kaien nodded once again. Ichigo put a hand to his forehead.
" If I want to I can change the scenary just by focusing in my mind and can train in my mind and get results outside my body and I can utilise most of your abilities as a shinigami and I have my own which need to be awaken for us to become one, in a way, and the only way to awaken my shinigami powers are to either a) Die and meet my zanpakuto while risking on becoming a hollow or b) go through a life or death experiance and survive it by meeting my zanpakuto. Is that all?" Ichigo's scowl was firmly planted on his face by this point. Kaien didn't seem to notice.
" Yep! You got it Ichigo. You're a fast learner aren't you?" Ichigo didn't answer and decided to ask a question of his own.
" How am I not crazy already?" The blank face gave away no emotion.
' Damn that's one hellova poker face!' " You mean like Isshin?" Kaien asked, inwardly laughing. The expresion that stretched across Ichigo's face was priceless!
"...Thank whatever god or gods are out there that I'm not crazy." Ichigo said, his hands in prayer. Then a though occured to him. " Hey Kaien?" Said person looked up. " Why did you start laughing so hard before?" Understanding was the emotion that flitted across the other's face.
" Ah, well. It's just that I never thought of it. The idea was so simple and so genious, that I just started laughing because I thought how stupid it was that I hadn't thought of it. Speaking of which you should sleep. I'll send you the memory while you sleep."
" Alright. 'Night."
" G'night."
Me: How was it? Was it bad? Or good? REVEIW!
Yuno: It was a bit plain.
Yuna: 'Tis the calm 'fore the storm'.
Gin:...Right. Anyway here's our guest, Karin Kurosaki!
Karin: Hi.
Me: How do you stay sane living with your father?
Karin: Ignore the fact that we're related most of the time and remind myself that I can beat him up. Aspirin is always on hand in case of emergancy and so are earplugs. If that doesn't work, I get out the area my dad is in and I play soccer with my friends.
Yuno: Aspirin is the gift from the gods given to us so the sane can survive against the insane.
Gin: Earplugs are for annoying, loud people and noises.
Yuna: We need to get an emergancy kit for this, with LOTS of aspirin.
Me: I hoped you enjoyed it!
Everyone: BYE!
