Last chapter
()()()()
Class ended and Ichigo basically had to pry Captain and Kit away from himself. Kit mainly because they fox was trying to irritate the cat and it was working which led to Captain being more clingy too. He sighed to himself as he walked home "If I doubted who they were before not so much now, not after that." he mumbled to himself as he unlocked the door and ducked out of the way of his fathers kick. "Seriously? Can't you knock it off already? I swear if this house wasn't already nice and close to my college I'd move out."
"My son, don't say such things! You'll make daddy cry!"
"Good." Ichigo shrugged as he dodge a flying hug. "I got homework I'll come down when dinner is ready. And you better not bother me!" He said as he headed up stairs hearing Isshin whine to no one but the picture of Misaki that was still hanging on the wall. "Why does he have to act like a child?"
'Why have you never acted as one?'
"Shit! Who?!" Ichigo shot out of his chair looking around his room for the somewhat familiar voice that had spoken. "That wasn't you was it Jii-san?" 'Was what me?' "That answers that..."
'Hm~' the voice hummed amused pissing Ichigo off, 'I'm sad that you don't remember my voice, has six years been so long a time for you?'
"...A-Aizen?"
'You do remember.'
()()()()
"Wha-bu-how?!"
"Because I was your father once...or rather...no you are quite ready for that yet and my time to speak with you is limited though I will explain briefly that I'm still sealed up but kido can't stop magic."
"Magic...you mean...like what I saw Rouzin use in the one dream?"
"Yes."
"Why now? Why talk to me now?" 'How the hell am I so calm right now?!'
"Obviously you aren't if you are thinking that." he chuckled making Ichigo blush a bit embarrassed. "As for why now, because I need to give you a small warning."
"Warning? For what?" Ichgio asked confused.
"There is something coming, something that we fought against a long time ago I and my brother."
"You mean, who you used to be right?"
"...Yes, we sealed them quite a time before you... rather Rouzin was born, and we shouldn't have to worry about it yet but something must have gone wrong. The seal is breaking I can feel it even from this cell. Ichigo...these aren't like what you've faced in this life time, even what you had become while facing me is barely near what they are."
Ichigo's eyes went wide in shock. "...But...what the hell am I supposed to do then!? The only reason I beat you was because I sacrificed everything!" He started pacing in his room.
"I know, and I'm sorry to put this on you truly I am..."
"Sorry? You? For me?" Ichigo nearly screeched in disbelief.
"I know it sounds weird but I don't have much more time to talk, has anyone else begun to remember?"
"Not that I'm aware of no it's just me. Why don't you know that though?"
"Because you are the only one I have a connection to. You need to get them to start remembering, the more you remember as a whole the easier it will be...I don't have time to explain why or how, the magic I built to be able to talk with you just now took quite a bit of time to gather, and it isn't much."
"...why..." was all the orange head could get out.
"Why? I'm not sure I understand."
"Why are you, why do this? Why tell me? Why risk yourself just to warn me?! It doesn't make sense!" He grabbed his hair in confusion and frustration at being in the middle of something again.
"Oh but my boy, a father will do anything for his son, even when he is no long his...times up..."
"Wait what do you mean!?"
"Tell Urahara what I've told you..."
"Wait what did you mean just now!? Are you sayi-" he stopped mid sentence somehow knowing the connection was gone. "Damn... Guess homework has to wait..." he sighed running a hand through his hair before throwing his door open only to have his father fall into the room. "Really dad?"
"Well you we're yelling I was worried. What happened?" Isshin asked righting himself.
"I'm not telling it twice just come with me to Urahara's if you want to know." he said quickly heading downstairs Isshin on his heels quickly writing a note to tell the twins where they were.
They found Urahara and Yoruichi talking over a cup of tea when they got there. "Isshin, Kurosaki-san? I guess I can assume that it has something to do with the dreams if you are both here."
"Yes and no," Ichigo said sitting down making Urahara raise an eyebrow in curiosity, "it wasn't a dream, I... Aizen he...contacted me through some kind of magic."
"He wha...? That's not possible! He's locked up!" Yoruichi yelled unbelieving.
"Yeah...he said the binding kido on him doesn't stop him from using the magic from the past life...not sure how he'd still be using it in this life though... I didn't really get a chance to ask he said he only gathered enough magic to contact just me for a short time."
"Why?" Urahara asked.
"To warn me of what's coming."
"Why the hell would he warn you? After what he put us all through!" Yoruichi asked.
"I...he said it was cause I was Rouzin, because I was once his son."
"If he cared about that then he wouldn't have tried to kill you all those times!"
"She has a point son." Isshin said, Ichigo sighed running a hand through his hair again before relaying the entire conversation to them.
"He told you to tell me?" Ichigo nodded, "And that's everything he told you?"
"Yes. Everything...how do you think we can get others to remember?"
"whoa, whoa, whoa! You aren't saying you actually believe him are you Ichigo!? After everything he did? All the people he hurt!?" Yoruichi asked.
"I know I know... But I just...it was strange while he was talking with me I, I could ...feel... I could feel what he was feeling. There was true sincerity coming from him. And what he said I just ... I feel as though... I think the part of me that was Rouzin somehow is telling me to trust him." Ichigo said looking at the table "Please, even if you don't trust him...please trust me."
The three were silent thinking over everything Ichigo had told them of the conversation. "Ichigo, we've stood by you this long and I've put you through some crazy shit without telling you everything and you've still gone with it. The least I can do is stand by you now through more crazy shit even though I don't have a clue what's going on." Urahara said making Ichigo look up and nod with a small smile before holding his head. "Ichigo? What's wrong?"
"D-dizzy...I..." he fell against Isshin passing out hearing them call for him but everything went black.
"zin...Rouzin...ROUZIN!"
"Ah! I'm awake! What's happening!?" he shoot up from his bed. 'I'm dreaming again'
"Nothing." Silane was standing over him grinning.
"Then why the frick did you wake me you ass!?" Rouzin growled pulling the covers back over his head as Silane tried to pull them down.
"Aw~ come on! Me and Si'ine want to go hunting!"
"Then go hunting! I want to sleep!" he yelled from under the blankets.
"But we want you to come to, we were going to continue our competition." Silane whined finally pulling the sheets from Rouzin's grip. "Please?" he pouted, folding his ears back and making his eyes big. (think puss in boots from Shrek)
"Fricking kitten face...fine let me get dressed..." he grumbled giving in. 'Damn…I didn't think he could pull a face like that…'
"Yay!" Silane cheered a triumphant grin now on his face, "I'll wait outside then." he went back out the door leaving Rouzin to sigh before getting up.
"Jerk...I wanted to sleep..." he met the cat man outside his room and they headed out to the courtyard to meet with Si'ine. "Why are we doing this so early?"
"'Cause." Si'ine shrugged and ran off leaving the other two to follow after him. Soon the three were running through the forest racing each other. "Ya getting' slow kitty cat!" Si'ine taunted Silane.
"Buzz off dragon boy I'm in the lead if you can't tell!" Silane laughed
"What was that about leading?" Rouzin said jumping from branch to branch above and out in front of them. "Because from what I can tell both of you are eating my dust!" he laughed cheerfully jumping down to the ground before suddenly stopping.
"Rouzin wha-" Rouzin held his hand up to silence them before sneaking forward. They followed just as quietly.
"...and you are sure?"
"Yes I'm not sure why the telling said what it did but the seal hasn't weakened at all."
"Ziblan? An' King Iizian?" Si'ine whispered confused as they looked through some leaves. In a small clearing near a large stone that had many symbols on it were two men. 'Aizen and Ulquiorra...Ziblan? Weirdest name yet I think...'
"Shh...that's the sealing stone for the things that father and uncle sealed all those years ago, we aren't supposed to be here. We'll be in big trouble if they catch us." Rouzin put a hand over the white male's mouth.
"But the telling is never wrong so what could it be then?" the Iizian guy said pacing in front of the stone. "It shouldn't happen for at least three or four cycles... Not the very next!"
"I am aware Majesty... However I can find nothing to suggest that it is weakening to the point that it would break so soon. Unless..."
"Unless?" he stopped pacing looking at the pale man an eyebrow raised.
"It is breaking from the inside out."
"Not possible. They were put into a deep slumber before being sealed we made sure it couldn't be broken from the inside!"
"I am not suggesting you did anything wrong in the spell Majesty I'm merely saying that is the only other way it could be failing. If you think about it they could be beginning to build an...immunity to the spell as it has been used so many times over the cycles of fighting them." Iizian sighed running a hand through his hair.
'This...is so different from the Aizen I saw during the war...He's like… a normal person, it feels the same as when I was talking with him earlier though.'
"We have to do something."
"Someone has to be able to continue to watch the seal even once everyone else is gone...trying to teach someone new in time to keep it up for as long as possible will be to difficult." Ziblan said looking at the stone.
"If I was a few hundred years younger I could do it..." Iizian grumbled.
"And my life span while longer then a human's is not enough for the time needed. And the two of us and your brother are the only ones capable of keeping the seal at the moment. And while Kinarai is learning he would only last about a hundred or two years or so longer then I."
"I know...I'll use it. I'll use that spell." Iizain said just load enough for the three eavesdroppers to hear.
"No majesty! You can't, that magic is forbidden!" Ziblan yelled his eyes wide in shock.
"Do we have a choice!? We know those that will be needed to fight them aren't even going to be born in this realm as it is and that makes it hard enough already! It's the only way!" Iizian said disgruntled "It's either me or Eaitais only us dragon kin would be strong enough to handle the spell."
"You know he won't like the idea of letting you do it, you know the risks of staying alive under those conditions. You could very well lose yourself... Your Majesty...I'll-"
"I am grateful for your concern Ziblan truly I am but there is nothing else we can do...I need to be able to make sure my son will be strong enough along with those who will aid him... This is the only way." Iizian said walking up to the large stone hand hovering a few inches away from the surface as he spoke.
"I understand sir, shall I begin the preparations? It will take a few years to make sure everything is set right." Ziblan sighed in defeat knowing the King was right.
"Yes...and Ziblan...don't tell Rouzin...he'll...he doesn't need to know yet."
"You know he will find out on his own somehow he and the other two have always found out what they aren't supposed to." Ziblan gave a small smirk.
"I know." he sighed, "but hopefully he's too focused on trying to find a way out of the engagement that he won't bother..."
"You sound like you want him to find a way out of it." Ziblan said with a small smile as they started walking away.
"Don't you?"
"Yes, very much sir..." their voices faded.
"So um... Who 'xactly is it tha' yer engaged ta?" Si'ine asked.
"Alivance..."
"Yer shittin' me righ'!?" Rouzin shook his head. "Bu', bu' she's Ziblan's girl, they love each other!"
"Which is why I have been trying to find a way out of it. I can't take her from him." Rouzin said standing "We should go, we weren't supposed to be here anyway..." he said turning away with one last look at the stone "it's said that they were originally created to preserve the peace...but took a darker look on their goal..."
"Wha' do ya mean?"
"That's all I know I over heard uncle say that bit...I don't know much more..."
"Don't know or can't tell?" Silane pushed.
Rouzin sighed "you guys know me too well."
"soo~?" Si'ine grinned poking the Prince.
"It's said that they figured the best way to keep peace was to destroy everything that could make war."
"In other words any kind of person, Human, Dragon Kin, Elf, Naliko so on and so on?"
"Yes. But they –the ones that made them- couldn't find a way to kill them to undo their creation so they sealed them away..."
"What exactly is it your father plans to do?"
'no stop fading!'
"It's a forbidden spell...him...and..."
'No I need to hear this part! Stop fading damnit!' the dream became black. 'Shit!'
'Ichigo...we can only show you so much at a time...sorry, we were hoping you'd be able to see more.'
'No...this should be enough... Its ok Grimmjow... With what Rouzin said it matches what Aizen told me, the others will have an easier time listening. Thank you for trying.'
'Ichigo.' he showed up in front of him making Ichigo jump a bit as he had never actually seen them in this black area, he looked just like he did as an espada minus the hole and mask 'is it just you and Urahara tomorrow?'
'No I told Rukia and asked her to bring Renji too, is that ok?'
'Yes. I wish I could just tell you everything...but...'
Ichigo shook his head and smiled 'It's alright, but I do want to ask one thing. Who is Alivance? In this life I mean. Can you tell me?' Grimmjow shook his head, 'Alright...your fading...I'm about to wake up aren't I?' he nodded.
'Till next time.' Grimmjow said just before he faded fully.
"igo! Ichigo come on!"
"I'm fine..." he sat up rubbing his head "it was another dream..."
"Couldn't it wait till you actually fell asleep!? You scared us passing out like that!" Yoruichi said.
"It had to do with what Aizen warned me of. It was important." he retold what Rouzin and the others had seen Iizian and Ziblan talking about and what Rouzin had said about the things that were sealed up. "Iizian, the Aizen guy he had this mark on the right side of his face and now that I think of it so did Rouzin's uncle. Well his was on his forehead."
"It could have to do with what they are since no one there seems to be human." Urahara said.
"Ah, and Si'ine had them around his eyes." Ichigo added remembering. "Iizian did say he and his brother were dragon kin, and Silane called Si'ine dragon boy so it makes sense."
"Could you, just because I'm curious, draw them all for us?" Urahara asked and Ichigo nodded so Tessai got him some paper and a pencil. They waited as he drew the people he said he had seen. "This is...Silane?" Ichigo nodded as he started working on Si'ine. Then he did Eaitais then Iizian then Ziblan. "Well that does look like me doesn't it." Urahara said looking at the one of Eaitais.
"Nah he's too cool looking to be you." Yoruichi teased and picked up the one of Si'ine. "This kinda looks like you Ichigo."
"It's Si'ine, here in this life time he was my hollow." He said finishing Ziblan. "Here." he slid it over to them.
"Ulquiorra right?"
"Yes."
"Do you know what you looked like?"
"No. I always see through Rouzin's eyes and he hasn't really looked in a mirror." Ichigo said shaking his head.
"Do you know what Ulqu- um Ziblan meet staying alive under those conditions?" Urahara asked
"No Rouzin had started to explain just as the dream faded I didn't hear any of it." Ichigo sighed shaking his head looking at the pictures he had drawn.
"I see..."
"Clair brought Captain and Kit to class today." Ichigo said changing the subject.
"Really?"
"Yeah, Cap was exceedingly clingy, and Kit kept making it worse."
"Which one is kit?" Yoruichi asked.
"The fox."
"So...gin?" Ichigo nodded. "Makes sense that he would pester the poor cat." Ichigo rolled his eyes.
"She said to meet her there at eleven."
"Sounds good to me. I'll go start getting what I need to ready." Urahara said standing. "I'll see you then yes?"
"Yep." Ichigo and Isshin stood too. "And I'm taking some chocolate by the way." the younger Kurosaki said as he grabbed a bar from one of the shelves.
"Help yourself." the blond waved as they left. "So troublesome...why does that boy's life got to be so complicated?"
"Just lucky I guess..." Yoruichi sighed "don't worry you'll figure it out."
"Meanwhile the only people that seem to know anything are animals at a zoo and a criminal in the darkest cell soul society had to offer..."
"Yeah...that could make progress a bit slow I guess..."
()()()()
Ichigo couldn't sit still during class the next day anxious for it to get to be night so he and Urahara could go back to the zoo. He did his best to focus on his work and what was being said, kept having to pull his thoughts back to class.
"Are you ok Ichigo?" Atsuko asked after class as Ichigo put his books away. "You seemed very distracted."
"Yeah I'm just restless that's all, no worries." Ichigo said with a small smile. "See ya tomorrow sensei."
"Bye."
He ran home to get as much work done as he could before it was time to meet Clair at the zoo. "Focus Ichigo..." he mumbled to himself as he stared at a small quiz they had been given. He got through about half his work when there was a knock on his window. "Huh?" he looked over seeing Rukia's irritated face "Oops..." he unlocked it, "Sorry about that." he apologized as she and Renji came in.
"Whatever so...anymore of those dream things you told me about?" Rukia asked a bit hesitantly.
"Yes."
"Gonna tell us?" Renji asked.
"No."
"Why."
"Wait that's not the...hmm..."
"Ichigo." Rukia growled.
"Huh? What?" he turned to her from his paper.
"We are trying to talk to you." Rukia huffed.
"Oh sorry I'm just trying to get this bit done before its time to go, what were you saying?"
"The dream things. Did you have anymore?"
"Yeah I did."
"And?"
"And what?"
"You gaonna tell us?" Renji asked again.
"No I'm not because you won't like what I say." he turned back to his paper. "You barely listened the first time...You'll just give me more shit about it." he mumbled.
"Ichigo if you want us to believe you then you are going to have to tell us more." Renji commented laying down on Ichigo's bed.
"Have either of you had weird dreams?" Ichigo asked thinking about what Aizen had told him about others remembering.
"You're the weird one not us so I'd say no." Rukia said crossing her arms.
"Hm...I...am still not telling." He turned back to his paper.
"Strange as in what exactly?" Renji asked out of curiosity sitting up. "Cause I had one the other night, weird shit I was like a frickin phoenix ok it was awesome and there was this big lake that was like a whole bunch of different colors and was glowing below me as I flew around...and then I ran into something and woke up."
"You would managed to run into something while flying." Rukia scoffed making Renji growl at her.
"A colorful glowing lake?... Gemstone lake... Just outside the castle city." Ichigo said with a fairway look. "He's having them too then. But I can't believe he was a phoenix..."
"Having what too?"
"Hm? Oh it's almost eleven!" Ichigo ran downstairs his two friends exchanging looks of confusion before heading back out the window to follow him. "Clair!"
"Hey you're right on time." she said as he stopped in front of her panting a little. "Come on in I have the six of them in one area so it'll be easier."
"Cool." they headed in and Clair led the way to a separate enclosure away from public view. They went through the door and Ichigo was instantly knocked over by Captain "You really need to stop doing that..." he groaned as Clair chastised the cat. Rukia, Renji, and Urahara, who had joined as they walked through the zoo, slipped into the enclosure. "Yes hi you saw me yesterday I don't get what the big deal is." Ichigo laughed as he petted the cat that was rubbing his head on his chest. "Can I get up?" Captain paused for a moment before rolling off him. He sat up only to end up with another armful of fur. "Hi Kit. No causing trouble now." the fox gave him an innocent look as if to say 'Who me? Cause trouble?' Ichigo rolled his eyes and stood up still holding the ball of white fluff.
"It's amazing how well they've taken to you." Clair said scratching kits ear. "I have to check on some of the other animals, I pulled nightshift so I could get you in. Will you be ok?"
"Yep." she nodded and left. "So~" he put the fox down "what's in the bag Urahara?"
"Just some simple stuff, you mingle with your animal friends I'll work."
"Okay." he went further in finding the two coyotes the bigger one sleeping and the smaller one trying to wake him up. "Hey little one." the pup stopped and looked over at him as he crouched down and ran to him using his knees to support her front legs. "Let him sleep it is night after all and he's older then you so he can't possibly have the same amount of energy to burn." he said patting her head.
"Ichigo...you didn't answer our question back at your house." Rukia said.
"What question I thought I did?" he asked confused.
"What did you mean 'having them too'?"
"Oh! Renji he's starting to have the dream memory things too. That lake he saw I've seen it too it's right outside the city that surrounds the palace."
"Palace...oh right you said you were some kind of prince." Renji said laughing "Come on Ichigo it's just a coincidence."
"They won't believe me no matter what say..." he said to the pup in his arms she Whined in agreement "thought friends were supposed to give friends the benefit of the doubt." the pup barked at him. "How am I supposed to do anything if only one or two people believe me Silane?" Captain came over and gently head butted his shoulder. "I know I got you but you aren't very helpful as a giant cat right now."
"Ichigo...he's a cat he's not Yoruichi he can't really understand you." Rukia huffed.
"Shows what you know." Ichigo huffed "Can't you help me out somehow?" the feline tilted his head thinking then shook it, "Great..." he laid back on the ground the pup laying on his stomach. "So I know what I need and have to do but I can't do it because the only ones who will listen are Urahara Yoruichi and my dad..." he sighed "find anything yet Urahara?"
"Strange energy readings that normal animals shouldn't give off. But other then that not much at the moment."
"Because there isn't anything to find." Rukia complained "Ichigo this is a waist of time."
The tiger came over and swatted Captain in the head which started a growling match. "What's with them?" Renji asked.
"Not sure...but he's pissed about something... Oi what the hell you two stop it already!" Ichigo said pulling back on Captain knocking the coyote pup off his belly. The two backed down the tiger pacing and growling still till the fox came over and sat in his path. The two made noises back and forth till the tiger finally seemed to give up and went back to the rock he had been on with a huff.
"So...bad blood or something?" Renji asked. Rukia was just staring stunned by the fact the fox had seemed to send the tiger to time out.
"Or something..." Ichigo nodded. The bat came flying over and Ichigo held his hand out for him. "Hey there Ziblan."
"I'm back." Clair said coming back into the area.
"Hey the cats almost got into a fight."
"Yeah...Gold seems to have issues with Captain and Captain gets irritated when Gold tries to start something."
"I see." he paused "Hey do you remember what we had talked about on Friday? About like what we would be if we weren't us."
"Yeah I wanted to be a warrior elf princess and you were going to be my royal dragon kin elf body guard." Clair smirked sitting next to him petting the bat in his hand. "Why?"
"No real reason just thought I'd asked." Letting the bat crawl onto her hand.
"You said you had been having weird dreams right? Did you have another is that why you were asking?"
"Yeah..."
"Oh do tell." Clair said at the slightly embarrassed face Ichigo had.
"Well...um...one of the other... Two of the other people were being...very perverted and I was their target." Renji and Rukia stared at him.
"Oh-ho! I want detail!" Clair grinned.
"You aren't getting any!" Ichigo huffed laying back down.
"Come on~" she begged.
"No..."
"Who was it?"
"A stupid cat and an idiot dragon." Captain huffed. "What you got a problem?" the cat looked away. "Yeah I didn't think so."
"Haha. Alright, alright I won't make you tell." Clair laughed "They seem so much more human when you are here. It's almost like you're right about them being your friends."
"Yeah," he looked at Rukia, "isn't just?" she rolled her eyes.
"Hey Ichigo, that picture you drew in class, can I have it? I mean I know it was a picture and I know the guy is dead but damn he was hot!" Captain got a smug look on his face and Ichigo rolled his eyes at him and nodded with a small laugh.
"I can bring it here after class tomorrow."
"Sweet!" she cheered.
"I still don't believe you." Rukia said and Ichigo shot her a glare unable to reply with Clair there. "I already told you it isn't possible!"
"Rukia you promised not to pester him about it till Urahara gave a definitive answer of yes or no." Renji said gaining a grateful look from the orange head for helping him.
"Hey Ichigo?"
"Hm?"
"You believe in ghosts right?"
"I do, I can see them too." he said as the pup made herself comfortable on his stomach again. "Why?"
"Have you seen your friends?"
"Not the ones I told you about no. I've seen other people though."
"What's it like being able to see ghosts?"
"Normal."
"haha! I guess that makes sense, you've always been able to see them then?" he nodded. "I can feel them sometimes but never see. Sometimes I wish I could but others...I think I'm glad I can't they don't feel very nice sometimes."
"I know what you are talking about...are you asking this for any particular reason?" he smirked betting he knew the answer.
"Yeah I can feel ...something here."
"Those would be my...friends though at the moment I'm debating whether the one is going to remain under that title since she is irritating me."
"Really? You have ghost friends?"
"Yeah...weird huh?"
"Yeah but cool, I have to go check around again later." Clair said standing up and brushing the dirt from her pants "You lot behave for Ichigo no more fighting." she said to the animals before leaving.
"She took that well." Urahara commented.
"Well seeing is just a step up from feeling so I'm not that surprised." Ichigo said propping up on his elbows, captain came from behind him and laid down so Ichigo could use his side as a pillow "Huh oh thanks...you aren't trying to get on my good side after my finding out how much of a pervert you are, are you?" captains ears folded back with a low growl that sounded embarrassed. "Well you aren't forgiven but you make a good pillow so stay put."
"Ichigo why are we here?"
"Hm...not sure, thought maybe if you saw how they act then maybe you'd be more inclined to listen to and believe me." he sighed. "Obviously I was wrong." He muttered petting the pups fur.
"Well I got a lot of readings off them all, now I just have to analyze it all. I'm going to head back." Urahara said standing.
"Alright have fun with your data." Ichigo waved more then comfy where he was. "Are you two leaving?"
"Not till you tell me about the dreams you've had since we talked." Rukia stated stubbornly.
"Fine whatever just don't freak out on me I'm not dealing with a bunch of shit from you right now."
"Whatever just talk." Ichigo proceeded to tell the two about the dreams not in as much detail as he had been forced to while talking with Urahara but it still left them gaping at him. "WHAT?! How-"
"I said no shit Rukia! I'm not dealing with it, I'm half asleep, my mind won't stop running a million miles an hour over what the hell I'm going to do about all this, and I'm still coming to terms with all this myself." He cut her off.
"I can see you getting stuck with Urahara as an uncle." Renji said trying to ignore that Ichigo had just told him that Aizen had been his father in his last life.
"Yeah he was just as annoying then as he is now too..." he yawned. "Should probably head home, I have school in the morning." he gently slid the coyote pup off him to let her keep sleeping and stood up brushing himself off. Captain stood and nuzzled his hand. "Later cap." he scratched behind the cat's ears. Captain grabbed the hem of his shirt in his mouth. "What? I have to go I have class in the morning I can't stay here all night." Captain let go and whined. "I'll come see you as soon as I can okay?" the feline put his head against him again in good-bye.
"Yeah because seeing him in your dreams isn't enough." Rukia huffed. Ichigo sighed and stood.
"Good night everyone." he went out the door.

Soooo~ what's everyone think about Aizen? For some reason Rukia is really annoying in this story I'm not sure why though sorry to those of you who like her. The head butts captain was giving is based off something one of my cats does, he'll rest the top of his head against you it's like his version of a hug. Grimm has a lot of names in this doesn't he… ^^' Speaking of names, if any of you are wondering how their past names ie. Rouzin, Iizian, Kinarai, are pronounced just ask and I'll tell otherwise fell free to pronounce them as you wish.
Please review and tell me what you think, should something exciting happen? Who do you think I should stick Ichigo with? (cause I still don't have a clue) Who do you think Alivance is? (that one honestly shouldn't be to hard to answer) Is Clair important to the story as more then just Ichi's ticket into the Zoo? Will Rukia ever believe our favorite Berry? Why do I like asking so many questions?
