Chapter 3

Ichigo received a call later in the afternoon. When he picked up, he recognized Urahara's voice : "Yo Ichigo! Meet me at our usual place. I've got some big info for you."

Ichigo didn't waste a minute to get dressed and prepare to leave the house. But before that he went to his sisters room. "Yuzu, Karin, I'm going out for a while. If you feel anything abnormal, or if our guest tried anything weird call me immediately."

"That's so mean nii-san. Why are you so suspicious? Murasaki is our uncle. Besides, dad's here."

What Ichigo's sister didn't see is how much he was boiling on the inside. The simple idea of having them defending this so called uncle, pains his heart. He quickly arrived at Urahara's, went in and sat in front of the big round coffee table. This meeting could take a while.

"The man who attacked you is a soul reaper. Black hair, grey eyes with a distinctive scar on his chest. He's known as Murasaki. He's a 1st seat shinigami and member of squad 5. Which means he was previously under captain Aizen's direct orders. After his treason, the captain seat was filled by none other than Shinji Hirako, captain Aizen's ex-captain. And since Murasaki is a skillful man, he was assigned as a temporary lieutenant of squad 5. The current lieutenant, Momo Hinamori is recovering from a physical and moral shock. As for his fighting style, I'm still not very well informed yet. But one thing's for sure. Be aware of him. Murasaki is well qualified for a captain's seat. He's strong and I do mean strong."

"There's only one mistake Urahara, his eyes where purple when I fought him. But now they're grey. Maybe it has something to do with his powerful reiatsu."

"I'll check it anyway. But I'm telling you again, be careful."

What Urahara said kept playing in Ichigo's mind. Lying in his bed, hands behind his head the young man closed his eyes. Yuzu and Karin were downstairs. Their laughter filled his room, which was kind of reassuring. Isshin has decided to take a week off out of the blue. He claimed that he wanted to stay with his daughters so that they don't forget about him now that his brother is here. Ichigo went downstairs to get a sandwich. He saw Murasaki sitting on the floor beside Karin trying desperately to beat her in a video game. Yuzu keeps laughing on the desperate cries of her uncle, while Isshin was peacefully reading his newspaper. Ichigo couldn't help but smile when seeing his sisters so happy. But something's off. He just can't seem to trust him.

"Hey I'm going for a walk."

"Wait Ichigo" hailed him Murasaki "I'm coming with you. There's something I would like to show you."

"Oh oh can we come too!" asked Yuzu excited.

"I'm sorry my little niece but this is boys stuff." He gave her a friendly smile as an apology, before patting her head.

"Get your hands off her!" warned him Ichigo with an elevated tone. Isshin left his newspaper and looked surprisingly at his son's aggressive behavior.

"You know son you need to cool it down a bit."

"Whatever! But I warned you, the next time you touch one of the girls I'll break your arms. Am I clear enough for you?"

"Nii-san!" scolded him Yuzu. "I don't mind being patted on the head. It's just like dad does."

"Well he's not our dad Yuzu. He's just a stranger who suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

"Ichigo…" said Murasaki "Let's talk someplace else ok?"

Ichigo didn't mind. If he's looking for a fight, might as well stay away from here as much as possible.

Both men left the house without another word. They walked down the street without talking to each other. They arrived to an isolated alley. There, Murasaki stopped and looked at his nephew.

"Ichigo, why do you hate me so much?"

"Why? Do you even need to ask? I don't like the way you appeared in front of us. I don't like the way you look at my sisters as if they're yours. And I HATE that fake smile of yours." Silence. Murasaki didn't know what to reply.

"My, my…" was what Ichigo heard before finding himself pushed against the wall, a knife encircling his throat. "He warned me about you. He said that I can't approach you directly. But well I guess he's wrong."

"You piece of…" A sharp pain tore his stomach. He looked down and found the knife plunged deeply in. His blood tainted his shirt and pant, before coloring the ground in a vivid red.

"You should watch you manners my dear nephew. Or else I might accidently kill one of your sisters." Murasaki took a step back leaving the dagger in Ichigo's stomach. The young man fell on the floor unable to move from the pain. This Murasaki sure knows where to hit. One of his vitals spots has been crushed. In and out of consciousness, Ichigo heard: "Of course you won't tell anyone about our little conversation or else who knows what will happen to Yuzu and Karin."

He fell in deep darkness with Murasaki's laugh echoing in his head.

Ichigo started to slowly regain consciousness. Then suddenly opened his eyes. He found himself lying in his bed. He looked around, and then remembered everything. He touched his stomach. No pain, no bandages, nothing. Was it a dream? What the hell is happening?
