A/N: Yeah new chapter already! I'm impatient and I wish that more chapters I get up, more reviews will be!
But thank you Martyna1 ^^ It's nice to hear that.
And thank you so much ichigos future wife *hug* I will try to get more text soon.
Well well anyway, there's one, I mean couple (few) more stories I have been written at the same time, and one of them is Harry Potter/Bleach crossover. I would like to hear that is there anyone interested?
Chapter 4:
Ichigo sighed. "Why the hell do they all look so determined?"
"So, what are you doing here?" Ichigo put his hands in he his pockets: "I thought that you were going to eat something?"
Tatsuki lifted her eyebrows: "Aww come on Ichigo! You know very well that why we followed you! You have been so damn mysterious for a while."
"And we thought that you would tell us everything after that war you was involved and told your shinigami business." Mizuiro added: "What can be so terrible that you won't even trust us?"
Ichigo twitched when he put it that way. But how would he had told anything to them? I mean, it's easier this way? Should he tell them? Or should he...
"Ah well. It's really nothing? Just going to do some paperwork for a friend who needed help. I thought that you wasn't even interested what I did after school?" Ichigo lied smoothly with light tone: "It's not like you have asked me directly?"
Others glanced each other: He was right. They didn't do that.
"But how the hell you then knew that we was following you? Did you get your powers back?" Keigo suddenly asked while others were nodding. Ichigo just broke in the laughter. Some looked shocked. They hadn't heard Ichigo laugh in the long time. When Ichigo calmed down a bit his voice were still hoarse:
"Ahah… Oh well. Do you think that I would need my powers to detect you? Even an elephant would be more obscure stalker than you!" he wiped tears from his eyes. Tatsuki came forward and smacked him on the head: "Hey! It's not like we have been practicing it or anything!"
"Auch! You didn't need to do that!" Ichigo rubbed his head. Tatsuki just stuck her tongue at him.
There was a small silence which Ichigo broke: "So… Can I get going now? I'm sure that he's already waiting for me." he tilted his head.
"Ah right… Well go on then. Let's see tomorrow at school." Tatsuki narrowed her eyes when Ichigo disappeared around the corner.
"Paperwork huh?"
Ichigo shook his head and chuckled. Those idiots. He could feel that all of them left to their own ways. They seemed to figure out that it would be useless to follow him anymore.
Within few minutes he reached outskirts of the city. The place was full of old warehouses which had been abandoned long time ago. Many people used these as hiding places and Vizards were one of them. Their warehouse were nearby and Ichigo could almost see Hachi's barrier around one.
He sneaked in the one building he had proven to be lasting and it wouldn't crumble down when he left his body in there.
Carefully Ichigo placed it behind some barrels, just to be sure. You never knew if some hobo would come in need of sleeping place. Ichigo ran his fingers trough his black hair bangs.
"I think that it would be best to ask some advice. Anyway I need someone to back me up with my white lies, so I can work some more without involving others. This day was way too close."
He thought a while. Who would be good at lying but would give some good advices and would be great help? That shouldn't be hard. Only one person filled his mind:
Urahara Kisuke.
It wouldn't be so hard to explain him things than the others, since that guy was all seen maniac. If I was being nice. But he would be great asset. Ichigo lifted his head and glanced his reflection from the old metallic sheet who someone had left in there. "Well, this should be as interesting as Zangetsu thinks."
He left the warehouse carefully, knowing that vizard were near. Even if he didn't have any reiatsu, it didn't make him invisible.
Shop wasn't too far away, so he decided to use alleys and streets instead leaping on the roofs. Much more less odds to get caught. It was sunny day after all so shadows of the night wouldn't be covering his moving. He was invisible to most of the people but he couldn't take a risk that someone with a bit higher reiatsu would detect him.
Before arriving, Ichigo made final reiatsu scan around: "Good, no one isn't a the shop right now." meaning his friends: "Hopefully we can talk in peace."
Ichigo stopped shunpo and walked rest of the way. It wasn't very polite to rush in to someone's home with it.
He stepped inside. First he couldn't see anyone in the house, but then he sneered: "Kisuke, I know that you are there."
Man with weird fishing hat and clogs walked in sight. He had fan in front of his face and there could be seen some almost white hair locks coming under the hat.
"Welcome. Who are you and how can I help you?" he asked warily. Ichigo lifted his eyebrows before he laughed: "Don't you even recognize me anymore?" and then he opened the front door more so the light could get in.
"Ichigo? Is that you Ichigo-san?" even if he's face couldn't be seen, Ichigo heard amusement.
"Yeah it's me. Sit down, we have a lot to talk about."
Urahara Kisuke walked closer and waved him to sit too: "Yeah we do indeed. Want any tea?" he asked from the man who sat across the table.
"Yeah, it would be nice."
"Where should I start?" Ichigo started at his tea. Urahara just sipped his own: "Well, how about the looks of yours? You really look like someone who had just gotten off from the near-death fight." he waved his fan at Ichigo's scar.
He just lifted his right hand and rubbed it. Ichigo usually forgot it totally, since it had been so long when he had got it. And it reminded him from the events when he looked at the mirror, and it wasn't like he always stood in the front of one.
"Ah... I don't think so that it would be good." he said after a minute: "It wouldn't explain anything and it would leave you even more confused than before." Ichigo still brushed his mark and stared in the nothing remembering something.
"What would be good then? Maybe the beginning? And somehow I get a feeling that the start wasn't end of the Winter war, but it was alot earlier." Kisuke hid his face behind the fan. Ichigo lifted his gaze. Yeah. This is why he thought that it would be easier to explain things to him.
"That's right. But the trigger was the end of the war. If I'm specific, Final Getsuga is one we could blame." Ichigo narrowed his eyes. Urahara got that wrong: "Well, it certainly took all f your powers. It seems that you haven't got your reiatsu back."
Ichigo shook his head: "No no... Actually it never took my reiatsu. It just left my reiatsu hidden. Seems that it changed type. I don't think that here's anyone else who can feel my reiatsu right now but me."
Urahara lifted other eyebrow: "What? So you mean that you have your shinigami powers right now?" then his eyes widened: "You are not in your body right now."
Ichigo startled at that: "You just now noticed? Well, that would be harder since there's no reiatsu... But I thought that you noticed."
Urahara just sighed. "Tell me then that what happened to you after you used Final Getsuga? And why you pretended that there wasn't any powers anymore?" Ichigo shifted in more comfortable position.
"The truth is..." he started: "That why I collapsed, wasn't reiatsu loss..." he lifted his burning gaze to guy with the fan:
"But that I got finally my memories back."
At the same time:
"What do you think?" Tatsuki asked Inoue when they walked towards home: "Did he tell the truth?"
Inoue turned her big gray eyes on her: "What? Oh... I don't think that he lied... I mean, why would he? And I didn't find anything suspicious? It's Kurosaki-kun's own decidion." Tatsuki grunted: "You are right."
She didn't find anything wrong either. He had good explanation and he still didn't have any reiatsu on him.
But why her guts were still bugging at her?
Chad and Ishida were quiet but Tatsuki were sure that they had been thinking exactly the same thing. This wasn't good, but should they trust Ichigo then like Inoue did?
Of course they could trust him.
It didn't leave them any other opinions but hope that Ichigo wasn't doing anything stupid.
Neh neh I'm evil. Still didn't reveal his secrets. But this seemed to be longest chapter this far. Cheers.
But it would be nice to hear some opinions before next chapters release that what do you think his secrets are? ;) Just wondering.
And I will need some reviews before I publish next chapter. Just for you to know, it's ready, and just waiting one click. But how eager you are to get it?
