I decided to upload first chapter since prologue was so short :)
Chapter 1:
Flashback:
"Wha'? Aibou isn't actually teenager?" his hollow gasped when they woke up. Ichigo frowned. He rested at the 4th divisions grounds. He was alright, but his head was a mess. And hollow noticed it too.
"Hey! answer me! Wha' the hell is going on?"
"Ichigo got his memories back." Zangetsu chuckled.
"I know that! But wha' fuckin' memories?"
"I guess that you need to explain him." Ichigo had gone into his inner world and found dumbfounded looking hollow and smiling Zangetsu.
Both of them turned to look at him.
"Wha' the fuck are you wearin'? And wha' the hell happened your face?" hollow lifted eyebrow. Ichigo had long black coat which resembled his bankai outfit, but it had high collar. There was crimson colored scarf tied around his neck and he wore black trousers and black blouse.
Ichigo's hair had some black bangs hanging in front of his eyes and they went Mohawk-like till back of the neck. His right eye was diffirent color, it wasn't amber anymore. There was glint of red mixed to yellow in the iris.
The most shocking difference was long scar which split his face in the two halves. It started at his chin, split his lips and continued across his nose to next to the right eye.
Ichigo just chuckled. "You should see from the memories. But it's great that I didn't lose my powers like we predicted. It would be bad in this situation."
"Yeah, you have some catching up now." Zangetsu looked far away when they heard some noise outside: "I guess that your friends are back. Are you going to tell them?"
Ichigo just shook his head: "No, it's better to pretend that I lost my powers. They need some normal life for a while." And with that he left his inner world to greet his friends.
Flashback ends:
He glanced around. Hollow was screaming without him noticing. Ichigo was sure that Karin would be on her way to dispose it. There would be something to do after all before he could go home. Ichigo hid his body and shunpoed to the hollow.
He landed quietly on the flagpole where he could see perfectly the fight. Hollow was big but it didn't mean anything. Usually low class hollows were bigger and clumsier.
Karin stood there with her fists ready. Ichigo chuckled. It reminded him when he got his powers and faced those easy hollows with all preparation.
It was quick fight. When hollow attacked, Karin just kicked it to the ground shattering it's mask.
Ichigo left with knowing that Karin could take care of herself.
He got back in the his body and left to home. While walking he noted to himself that he needs to visit one person tomorrow. Ichigo looked to the dark sky. "I wonder… It's getting closer and closer."
Next day…
Whole day went normally with his dad trying to kick him when he woke up. In the school Keigo ran straight to his raised arm and everything else was like always. Some mayhem in the school.
"Ichigo, do you have anything to do today?" Chad asked him when they were walking off school. Ichigo knew immediately what he meant. In other words: Are you going to train today?
"Oh well. Yeah I have whole day full. Need to go to check some old friend and then some things to do." Ichigo shrugged. After that he said good byes to his friends and decided to throw his body in the same warehouse he had used few months.
"Ah it's good to get a little longer flexing period without body." Ichigo muttered to himself when he got out of his body. "It's much more comfortable this way."
"Yin." Ichigo whispered and young woman appeared next to him.
"You called Ichigo-sama?" she was young, and looked like teenager. She had long blond hair tied to back of her head.
"Yeah, please watch out for Karakura for me. I'm going to see old friend." Ichigo smiled.
"Hai, Ichigo-sama." with that she left.
Ichigo sighed. He didn't like formalities at all but he had learned in few centuries that it was useless to complain to her.
He was glad to see her in a long time. Their ways had parted in too tragic situation so it was nice to see her doing well.
Ichigo leaped to the roof of the warehouse and started shunpoing to neighborhood town. Travelling didn't take too long since shunpo was quick and he used straight road.
City looked same as always. There was more technical machines and stuff than before, but humans follow their time.
He landed at the quiet street in the old part of the town. He smiled when he saw same house with same exterior like few decades ago. Even the garden seemed to be same as before.
Ichigo walked to the front door and knocked. He heard some noise inside so he was definitely home. Then the door opened and revealed old man with grayish clothing.
"Hello, long time no see, Ryuzaki-sensei." Ichigo smiled.
"Ichigo! You are back!" old man's eyes widened: "So good to see you again! Come inside, come inside!"
He waved Ichigo to come. This man was his old sensei, who is one of the few people he completely trusts.
"You let yourself in the bad shape." Ichigo chuckled when he sat on the sofa. Older man frowned: "Well, I asked Kisuke to get me this gigai which would get older like real humans. Easier to live longer in the same place." he laughed: "But you don't have that problem, do you?"
"Yeah that's true." Ichigo leaned his head: "It was unfortunate to die middle everything."
"You seem to talk pretty easily about your death." Ryuzaki noted: "Want anything?" he showed some bottles.
"Well, surely thanks. I would take whiskey if you have."
"Yeah, coming! Do you think that I wouldn't have it since you always drink my storages empty." he laughed and gave glass to Ichigo who just chuckled.
"So… Tell me what happened?" Ryuzaki sat down opposite room than orange head.
"Ah, I just got my memories back few months ago", he glanced man who had disapproving look at his face and continued: "But I couldn't make here earlier since there's much to work with others."
"I see", Ryuzaki leaned closer Ichigo: "It would be pain in the ass to explain how you got suddenly centuries life experience."
"True, true. But that's not all. I wanted to keep them away from this whole mess. You know what time is getting closer again?"
Ryuzaki blinked. Then he got up: "Is it? To think that it's so close already… It feels that it happened just yesterday!" he shook his head.
"So one thousand years is blink of the eye… huh." Ichigo sneered. It was true that time mixed weirdly when you lived a bit longer.
"It is indeed. But don't worry. You didn't miss anything while you were dead." Old man chuckled: "Few parties but not anything else!"
"I should have guessed that…" Ichigo rolled his eyes and laughed. They both talked about some old times till it was late.
"I need to leave now… But I will come to say hellos. I think that it will be soon." Ichigo got up from the sofa. Old man stood up too and gave hug to teen.
"Yeah. We will get trough this time too. Go on already and keep touch and tell me if anything happens." he waved goodbyes to orange head who disappeared with shunpo.
Older man watched empty street a while and took a deep breath. "I think that it's time to get back to the shape again."
Ichigo leaped to the Karakura with few dozen shunpos. He landed to outskirts of town and decided to walk to the warehouse. It was night already.
"Welcome back, Ichigo-sama." Yin appeared next to Ichigo: "Did your trip go well?"
Ichigo smiled: "Lift your head. If you want to talk to me, just look me to the eyes." Yin lifted her head carefully and saw Ichigo's smiling. "Hai, Ichigo-sama."
He sighed. Hopeless.
"Yeah my trip went well. Good job, Yin." she nodded and left.
"What am I going to do with her…" Ichigo muttered while walking to the warehouse.
"I guess that there's nothing you can do." Zangetsu chuckled inside his head.
Reviews please! I would like to hear some commentary about plot :) Good? Awful? Used?
