For those of you that are confused on when this takes place, don't feel bad. I'm confused as well. PLEASE ignore the plot holes! Lol. Anyway, I got a review that kinda urks me. I told you that I accepted constructive criticism, but calling me a retard is not that. If you have a problem with my story, let me know nicely, like someone else did when they thought Nel was too strong too fast. That was nice and constructive, not mean and pointless. If you don't like the story, don't read it, it's common sense. Also, something I'm not mad about, is that someone posted a comment in Spanish, but I only speak English. All I got from it was 'Manga' once or twice, and maybe a 'Please.' If you can help it, review in English. I really want to know what my readers think, so I would appreciate it. Also, WE ARE NOW OVER 100 FOLLOWERS! Thank you for all the love I've been getting, and I hope you enjoy this chapter too. Now that my ranting is over, enjoy.
"GOOD MORNING ICHIGOOO— Oh. Oh! OH, OH, OH, OH!" Isshin stopped as he broke down Ichigo's locked door and saw Nel on top of his son. Isshin couldn't tell if they had clothes on because of the blanket covering them, but he suspected they did. Damn Ichigo and his prudish ways. Looks like grandkids would have to wait. He did his best to sneak out the door just as Ichigo began to open his eyes.
"Ah! Oh. Good morning, Nel." He said nervously, Nel giggled.
"Good morning Ichi~," she sang. "How did you sleep?" She giggled again.
"I didn't," he said with a happy smile on his face. Nel proceeded to smother his face with hers, and that was the last thing Isshin saw before a soccer ball nailed him in the face. As soon as he turned to see where it came from, Karin's backpack broke his nose.
"What did I say last night?" Karin asked in a terrifying whisper. "Buzz OFF!" Karin kicked him down the stairs, grabbing her soccer ball on the way.
She walked past Isshin dazed against the wall with a broken nose right out the front door. Just as she closed the door, Ichigo walked down the stairs with Nel draped over him. "Did we have to get up?" Nel whined.
"We have to go to school today. I've missed enough already. I'll probably get a detention as it is." He walked out the door with Nel still hugging him, and began their walk to school. About halfway there he felt the presence of a few Stealth Force members watching him. He wasn't worried though. They couldn't pierce his Reiatsu hardened skin or Nel's Hierro, and they wouldn't try anything that would be lethal to other students.
They made it to school without any interference, but not without annoyance. "ICHIGOOOOOOOOO–" Keigo was immediately clotheslined as Ichigo sidestepped his charge. "Ichigo, why are you so mean to– who is this?" He scrambled over to Nel and offered his hand. "Keigo Asano, at your service." He knelt. "Wait... arms draped around him, head on his shoulder... ICHIGO! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU GOT A HOT GIRLFRIEND?" He yell-asked hysterically.
"THIS IS EXACTLY WHY!" He yelled right back. He swatted Keigo's hand away before he could touch Nel. "Maybe if you weren't such a perv you could get one." He said tiredly. His lack of sleep was catching up with him. Mondays sucked.
"Okay class, get seated." Miss Ochi walked in right after Ichigo and Nel. "And who are you?" She asked Nel after she realized there was a new student. (A/N: Because I forgot to put in parts where they got gigai's, just pretend everything is fine. Thanks.)
"Um... Transfer student from Turkey!" Yeah. Nice quick thinking, Ichigo. He laughed nervously. "She lost her transfer papers on the way here. Her name is Neliel." He (the writer) had no idea how to pronounce her last name.
"Turkey. Whatever, let's just get to class... after the Turk gets to her seat." (A/N: Fun fact, Neliel is a Turkish name that means 'Strong willed, Beautiful, Life changing.' All apt descriptors.) Nel climbed off of Ichigo and sat in the seat next to him that was always conveniently open. It's almost like people write this stuff to be optimal for any more people to come into his life. And for some reason, no matter how old they are, join him at school. Anyways.
Miss Ochi droned through class, 'teaching' whatever dumb topic they were supposed to be on. Ichigo wasn't paying any attention, just gazing at Nel who, for some reason, seemed enthralled by the lesson. At one point she looked over and blushed when she saw him staring. He just smiled.
"Ichigo... Ichigo...? ICHIGO!" Miss Ochi's voice pierced through his trance. "Can you please tell me what I've been talking about for the last half hour?"
"No." He said simply. Everybody laughed. Keigo fell out of his chair. Idiot.
"See me after class." She ordered, then continued the lesson after something resembling an 'okay' from Ichigo before he went back to looking at Nel.
So, when class finally ended, Ichigo gave Nel a kiss on the cheek before walking up to miss Ochi. "What's up, teach?" He asked casually.
"'What is up,' Ichigo, is the several detentions for truancy and lack of respect you have to serve." She gave him a deadpan look. Ichigo laughed nervously. "Do you think this is funny? It was going to be one hour, but now it's two. Every day, for two weeks. Now go sit down again."
"But it's time for lunch."
"Eat here." She ordered. Ichigo sighed in defeat and sat down after pulling out his lunch and started to eat. He finished just as students were filing back in.
Nel walked up and gave him a quick peck before sitting back down. Almost every guy that saw looked at him with unimaginable venom, and every girl in envy. And so, class dragged on.
This time Ichigo pretended to pay attention, but the teachers almost angry glances every once and awhile told him she didn't believe it for a second. By the time class was over, he was half asleep, and had given up pretending.
Miss Ochi walked up to him as everyone else but Nel left. "I'll be right back. Stay here." She turned to Nel. "Go home." Then she walked out of the room to go wherever she had to go.
"What's going on Ichi? Isn't it time to go home?" Nel asked innocently.
"I have a detention, Nel. That means I have to wait an extra hour to go home." He sighed. "You can still go home, though."
Nel looked at him, then walked over and sat on his lap. "But I hate being away from you Itsy..." She trailed off. "I'll stay with you in detention." She snuggled up close to him.
"Thanks, Nel." He smiled at her, then pulled her in for a quick kiss. Or so he thought. The second he tried to pull away, she pulled him closer with three times the strength.
It was at this moment that miss Ochi walked back in the room, and sighed. "Separate... Ichigo. New Girl. Separate now!" But her orders fell on deaf ears. They were in their own world. Why can't my boyfriend kiss me like that? She thought.
She gave up on trying and waited for them to stop. They kept at it for a solid 10 minutes. It was almost like they weren't totally human. After they were done they sat there just looking at each other. This was really irritating to miss Ochi. Her boyfriend never looked at her like that. That went on for at least 40 minutes. But then something strange happened. About five minutes before detention was over, both their eyes widened. They proceeded to dash out without a word. "Whatever... I have papers to grade anyway." She sighed and got out her work.
Nel and Ichigo fell out of their trances when a crushing spiritual pressure appeared in the mountains a few miles out. They immediately dashed out of the room and towards it.
"Wait... is that... no! He's dead! No..." Ichigo exclaimed in disbelief. They sonido'd the rest of the way to the mountains to reveal his worst nightmare. There stood Ulquiorra in his second stage resurrection. Behind him were several arrancar, including Grimmjow, Harribel, Apacci, Mila Rose, Sung-sun, and several others he didn't know the names of.
There stood the aspect of nothingness, staring at him with just that in his expression. "Hello, Ichigo Kurosaki. I hear you defeated Aizen. I would like to know how you did." He continued to stare at Ichigo.
"No." Ichigo said simply. He wouldn't lose his powers again, this time over someone here just to fight him. He had to admit though, he was surprised. He didn't think Ulquiorra was the fighting type. More the 'stare in contempt' type.
It was just a moment after he finished saying 'no' that a green-black Cero hit him straight in the chest. He was immediately pushed back into a mountain, creating an Ichigo shaped imprint in the rock. He groaned as he got up, his shirt destroyed. "Damnit! I liked that shirt!" He raised his hand over his face and pulled on his mask. He pulled Zangetsu from his hip (Because he is now always in Bankai, he hangs his thin Zangetsu on his hip). "Let's make it snappy. I have a gorgeous girlfriend to hang out with," he said in his hollowfied voice. He heard Nel giggle and smiled.
Ulquiorra didn't give Ichigo long to enjoy her laugh. He almost immediately appeared behind Ichigo with his enhanced sonido, and Ichigo barely had enough time to release his crushing spiritual pressure to slow him down. Just before another Cero was fired point blank to the back of his head, he stepped to the side and raised his Zanpakuto to block. Had it been any other Zanpakuto, it would have disintegrated on impact. The Cero hit a few of the Arrancar and they almost immediately disappeared from existence. The Cero finally stopped after tearing through a few mountains. Ulquiorra looked on in apathy.
Ichigo countered by coating his blade in black getsuga, and swinging with full force at Ulquiorra's neck. He was blocked by his opponents forearm, though not without damage. Ulquiorra's arm was cut almost to the bone. Though he used his high speed regeneration to repair it, he was rather surprised at the impact, while Ichigo was surprised at the lack thereof. Ichigo jumped back, raising his blade. "Getsuga Tensho!" He yelled as he swung his sword in an arc.
"Cero." Ulquiorra said as he raised his hand and fired a beam of energy from it. The arc of red-black energy cut through the majority of the green-black beam until they cancelled each other out. "I see. So you've improved. So have I. Gran Rey Cero." He said calmly as a beam ten times as large and powerful as the original Cero flew at Ichigo.
"Gran Rey Cero" Ichigo said as he fired off his own attack. Ulquiorra's eyes widened as Ichigo's Cero broke through his own. He raised both his hands just in time to be pushed back into a mountain, breaking his back and arms. Once again, his high speed regeneration saved him from what would have been the final blow as he rolled to the side to avoid a getsuga blast courtesy of Zangetsu.
Ulquiorra spread his arms. "Lanza del Relámpago." He said as a blue lance formed horizontally in between his arms. He wrapped one hand around it and raised it over his shoulder, then threw it at Ichigo. Ichigo knew the destructive power of this attack. It could create craters the size of Great Britain. Though this particular attack didn't have that much power, it would still hurt. A lot. And, he couldn't risk it reaching Karakura town.
He threw up his arms and proclaimed, "Kyohi kabe." A wall of pitch black Reishi flew up with tendrils of red energy flowing from it. As the lance approached, the dark red tendrils flew out and wrapped around it, and blue energy could be seen flowing down the tendrils into the shield. Just as the spear reached the shield, the spear was particles thick, yet the explosion blew a crater the size of a classroom. The shockwave alone shattered some of the closest mountains. As Ichigo's reishi shield dissipated he looked at Ulquiorra with wide eyes. "You got stronger as well." He said softly in his distorted voice. Ulquiorra's Reiatsu was almost as dense as his own. Ichigo, however, was only using 5 percent of his power. He slowly lifted the controls he had on his power, until everyone but Nel and Ulquiorra was on their hands and knees, if not flat on the ground.
"That is a strange ability, Ichigo Kurosaki. I see that you have increased your spiritual pressure as well," he said calmly. He tried to sonido behind Ichigo, but the closer he got, the slower, and was slowed to running speed as he reached Ichigo. Ichigo swung a Getsuga charged Zangetsu at his chest. Ulquiorra had just enough time for a panicked "Cero," to knock the arc slightly off its course to sever both his lungs, and punctured his stomach instead. Though this was significantly damaging, it wasn't fatal.
"You're even faster than before. If you hadn't increased your strength this much, you'd be on the ground with severed lungs." Ichigo coated his blade with black getsuga, then added a red-black Cero as well. Swinging it in a diagonal arc in Ulquiorra's direction, he shouted, "Getsuga Cero Tensho." A Moon Fang Hollow Cannon that Pierces the Heavens was discharged from his blade and hit Ulquiorra, obliterating almost all his vital organs.
"I see. Now I know for sure you defeated Aizen; not even he could withstand this much power. Congratulations. I can now see why the former third Espada fell for you so easily. But one word of advice... beware... the... Soul—." He never finished. His once again disintegrating form lost the ability to speak and he faded. Just before the last fragment disappeared, Ichigo cut it with Zangetsu. There was a blinding white light, and a hell butterfly appeared. Ichigo smiled in contentment and relief as he saw it fly into the air, knowing that he had Purified Ulquiorra, and his sin-free soul would live peacefully in Soul Society. Just because its governing body was attempting to execute him didn't mean it was a bad place.
It was at that point Ichigo looked around and saw the arrancar, as well as several mountains, had been crushed to the earth. He re-sealed his spiritual pressure and the pressure on the surrounding area was lifted. He reached his hand up to his face, took off the mask, and dropped it as it disappeared into red-black reishi that was absorbed into the environment. As he looked around, he saw several arrancar with broken limbs, but the majority were getting up. He searched the crowd for a minute and finally saw Grimmjow. They made eye contact and the espada limped over to Ichigo. Though not broken, one leg was damaged, and Grimmjow didn't have the high speed regeneration of Ulquiorra.
"Hey. Are you going to kill us too? We don't have the strength to fight, or open garganta. So either kill us or get lost." Grimmjow said irritably.
Ichigo looked at him in curiosity. "Do you know what Ulquiorra was going to tell me to beware of?" Grimmjow's eyes widened.
"Only Ulquiorra knew their name. It's said that if you speak it, your soul is pulled into another world, beyond Hueco Mundo or Soul Society. Ulquiorra only knew it because his Aspect of Nothingness allowed him to ignore that effect, but he never told us because we might have spoken it on accident. All I know is that it started with Soul." He said. "We were fleeing from them for fear of an attack, and ended up here. Ulquiorra knew you would fight him, so he wasted no time in using Segunda Etapa. Now, are you going to kill us or not?"
"Why would I kill you?" Ichigo was confused. Only Ulquiorra attacked him, and the arrancar were just seeking refuge. "No. Come with me." Said Ichigo, and turned around, waving for Nel to come to his side. He put his arm around her as she walked, hearing Grimmjow grumble something about getting a room. He didn't mind a long walk with his girlfriend, but the arrancar were getting restless, so he decided to move as fast as the others could, which in their states, were not-quite sonido speeds. They made it to his house in a little under half an hour. "Stand aside, guys." He advised, turning to his followers. Just as they stepped aside a blur of a white lab coat and black hair flew past them. They all turned to look at them.
"Um... why are there 20 arrancar here?" Isshin asked, almost speechless.
Ichigo laughed nervously. "They kinda need a place to stay." He told his father.
Isshin grinned. "YAY! More friends! They can stay in the training ground below the house."
"Okay," Ichigo said as he began walking inside. "WAIT! Since when was there a training ground below the house?"
"Oh, I put it in a while ago. It's below the basement." Isshin grinned.
They got all his guests downstairs to the training room, and all the while Ichigo was thinking 'I HATE YOU' at his father and giving him a death stare.
Sorry for the wait, but I was feeling super lazy over spring break so… yeah. sorry. I bet you thought it was Aizen coming out of the mountains didn't you! Well I did too until I decided that that would come a little later. Maybe next chapter, maybe after that. I also gave myself a nice way to continue the story when Ulquiorra told him to beware of something. By the way, there will NOT be a harem. Strictly IchiNel. I love them. Thank you for the R&Rs, and I hope I can continue to please. Once again, thank you to my beta for improving my writing :)
