Like everyone else, I'll do it too. I do not own Bleach or Fairy Tail.
Act 1: Scene 4
"So, about my abilities. Well first of all let me start of with that I'm a Shinigami."
"Wait, shouldn't we wait for Mirajane?" asked Bisca who just came followed by Cana, Elfman, Alzack, Romeo, Levy, Bickslow, Evergreen, and Fried.
"Shinigami?" Ichigo was interrupted by Makarov. Ichigo wasn't too sure if he should tell everyone the whole deal that went on with him. He figured that if this place has no problems with people having powers, why shouldn't he just tell them? He wondered if he should ask Zangetsu (Quincy) what he should do, but that would make things too complicated. Of course asking the real Zangetsu would be and obvious no-go, since he would just bug him too much about something. Although, he has been quiet for a while.
"I thought you said you weren't a bad guy? Shinigamis are known to be bad you know. They usually take on assassination jobs and are given the name of the Shinigami."
"You've heard of them? But Shinigamis are good guys though. Their jobs are supposed to send dead souls that are bound to the human world and send them somewhere else. What did these shinigamis look like, then? Did they have a sword, like a normal katana?" Ichigo asked.
"No, but there was a particular one who had a scythe. and he wore only a robe that covered his legs but not his upper body. He had blue lined tattoos on his torso. But later on his tattoos changed slightly and started wearing a cloak with a hood always on and still wore nothing under the cloak. Does that sound familiar to you?" Levy said remembering the details of the events with her impeccable knowledge.
"Wait, how did you know so much about him." Asked Gray.
"I read about it." Levy simply answered.
"That's odd. Did he not wear a shihakushou like the one I'm wearing? What were his abilities then?"
"No he didn't. His abilities were to control the weather. Mainly storms." She then answered.
"Oh! You mean that bastard Erigor!? Is that who you're talking about?" Natsu finally asked.
"Yes, him. What? Did you just catch on, dumbass?" Gray insulted causing Natsu to throw himself at Gray to attack, but was sat back down with a hard and devilish glare from the master.
"Well, I think I'm now pretty sure that he's not the same Shinigami that I'm talking about. We Shinigamis can only control one element if we have the nature to do so. Controlling the weather is not just one element."
"What do you mean?" Asked Lucy.
"It is an absolute, physical law, that one person can only have one element they can use. However, most Shinigamis don't have the ability to control elements. Like how many geological elements are there, really? If it was a common thing to have the power of elements, then many people would have almost identical powers. So that is why every Shinigami has their own unique offense or defense." Ichigo said.
"Then what do you have?" Natsu asked a little eagerly.
"I don't have any elemental abilities. But that doesn't mean anything. I..." Ichigo continued before getting cut off.
"Before you explain all of the principles of your Shinigamis power, do all of you have a strong, extremely dark magical aura coming from your bodies?" Makarov asked.
"Dark? Magic? This isn't magic. Is that what you guys use? Wow, I never imagined a place where people could use magic! But no, Shinigamis originally are in soul form, and all things that have a soul have something called reiryoku. Reiryoku is basically the fuel to all your abilities. There is also something else called reiatsu. The difference in these two are simple, reiatsu is the amount of force you exert, which is probably what you felt earlier and now. And reiryoku is how much you have inside you. So in turn, the more reiryoku you have, the more potential you have to releasing reiatsu."
"So do you really have that much of this reiryoku?! Is this a common thing for a Shinigami? I can barely breathe right now when I'm near you." Lucy asked in amazement, but quietly due to her lungs and shoulders being forced on. The same went with the rest.
"Oh, sorry about that. I try as much as I can to suppress it as much as possible, but it's impossible to completely hold it in. People usually who can't handle others reaitsu can get used to it over time." Ichigo said to Lucy with a reassuring tone causing her to become visibly nervous.
"No! No, it's nothing! You don't have to worry about me!" Lucy said blushing from him talking to her in a apologetic manner.
"Oh, Mira. You're back. Did you finish up with Erza?" Natsu asked.
"Yes, Natsu. She will be fine. But she will have to stay in bed for a month for her shoulders to get back to how they used to be. And the burns will be okay in couple weeks time."
"She is a man! There is no way she would let her injuries get in her way!" Elfman barked out.
"Uhm, I don't think that Erza would be you know... a man?" Lucy said.
"That's good to hear. I just want to say how sorry I am to do that. I'll remind you again that I will do whatever I can to help her get back to her feet as a way of repaying you. Heck, I'm the one who did it, Shouldn't I be the one doing all the work?" Ichigo said.
"There's no need. Erza was hasty for attacking someone who she had no knowledge of and got herself hurt. But you can still help out." Makarov said.
"Okay, then. So, Mira. Do you want me to tell you what we've discussed so far?" Ichigo asked.
"No, thank you that's okay. I overheard everything from inside."
"Oh, I see. So, Where was I?"
"You were at how much of this reiryoku/reiatsu do most Shinigamis have." Replied the white haired girl.
"Right. uhm, so we have a division system from where I come from, and there are 13 of these divisions. Each of the divisions has a captain who is the strongest and is one who is in charge of that division. The strongest of the 13 is the captain of the first division and that person is actually not called the captain, but the Captain-Commander. These captains basically overlook every action that the Shinigami do, but there are exceptions to that. You can obviously guess that these captains have a lot of reiatsu exerted from their body's and they do. They have the most in contrast to others. After them are the Lieutenants that the captains choose. They are in charge of the reports regarding the division and do various tasks based on the captain. However, they are not always the strongest in the division after the captain, they only have the most authority after the captain. After them are the Seats. They go from the 3rd seat to however many members there are. You can guess that the 1st seat is the captain and the 2nd, the Lieutenant. And these are the ones who usually are ordered in strength."
"So, where would you be?" Asked Gray. The others also wondered as well after listening to his explanation of his ranking system.
"I am not in any division, but that is a whole other story." Ichigo replied. "I could maybe tell you about that later, but who know? I will probably gone by then."
"Then, how strong are the captains compared to yourself?" Gray asked.
"Well, I wouldn't compare them with myself, but compared to your master here, from what I can tell right now from the amount of this 'magical aura' he's releasing, at his strongest he still wouldn't be as strong as the average captain." From that, everyone who are at the table had their jaws drop from hearing that. Especially Makarov.
"Woah. Now they are real men alright." Elfman said to himself.
"Really?! They are that strong?! But isn't Master one of the Ten Wizard Saints?" Bisca asked.
"That still doesn't explain that if all shinigamis reiatsu have this evilness to it. You can't say you are the good guy and have this sort of aura emitting from you. That is what's been bothering me this whole time." Makarov cut off trying to get away from that subject.
"Yes, that's right. Mira had me put runes around you while you were unconscious because you had quite a dark force coming from you. It even took me a lot longer with more effort than usual to get the runes around you. I just couldn't breathe." Levy said to Ichigo who kind of put his head down. He knew that they were talking about Zangetsu because he was originally a hollow. Even if he was now a good guy who no longer wants to take over Ichigo's mind and body, the fact that he is a hollow still means he has that same reiatsu any other hollow would, only even more potent.
"If you want to know that then we'll go to one of the jobs of the Shinigami. The first one I said a few minutes ago was that they send dead souls who are bound to the human soul somewhere else."
"Wait, what? Send the dead souls somewhere else?" Cana asked finally speaking up.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Yeah. Often times human souls stay in the human world after they die, so we have to send them to a place called Soul Society. That's pretty much how heaven would be to normal people. Soul Society is also where all the divisions that I was talking about are located, but in a certain part of Soul Society."
"Souls? Really? Do you mean like ghosts?" Levy questioned curiously.
"Ghosts? Oh, I really don't like ghosts. I'm always scared of there being ghosts in my house because I hear noises, but luckily it's always Natsu who always sneaks in without permission." Lucy muttered out causing Natsu and Happy to grin a little at what he does.
"Yes, but they are actually just souls in general. Ghosts are usually variations of souls made in myths and stories." Ichigo corrected. "The reason why we must send them to Soul Society is because while in the human world, all souls will eventually turn into monsters. And we have to stop that. Now wait. I know you're going to ask how and why that happens, but that's not really important right now. so don't ask anyway, I will only tell about the monsters themselves." Ichigo said, stopping Levy from obviously asking.
"These monsters are called hollows, who are mindless and have no distinction between anything that just want to eat other souls to quench their hunger, turning those eaten souls into hollows as well. They don't have the same consciousness as they did when they were normal souls either. They just want to eat and never stop. They're somewhat like zombies, but not exactly though. The two distinct feature that every hollow has is a hole in the middle of their chests, representing the fact that they don't have a heart of where the soul would be. The other thing is a white mask that is usually in the form of some sort of skull."
"Oh, I see. So they just eat these souls for food?" Asked Levy.
"Pretty much."
"How do people live with these hollows roaming around, then?"
"They just do. Normal people cannot see hollows as they can't with souls. Hollows can't take the souls out of living flesh, so they mostly leave normal people alone."
"And how is this related to you?" Makarov broke in after being silent for quite some time.
"Oh, well I have a hollow inside me." Ichigo said quickly. He had said it simply and fast because this was the thing that he didn't want to get into detail with. He was definitely accepting that a hollow is his Zanpakuto and was okay with that, but it still wasn't something that he would like to show and tell to anyone. Especially in front of strangers that he barely knows.
"You have one of these... uhm hollows inside you?" Lucy asked.
"Yes, but don't worry. He won't go berserk or anything like that at all if you were wondering."
"How can you guarantee that?" Makarov asked.
"You can trust me gramps, he's been with me for long as i've been a shinigami."
"Well, anyway. Now let's hear about you guys. What are you guys and where am I?" Ichigo said. He thought that he had said way too much about Soul Society and they now knew more than they should and decided to cut it off right there. What Ichigo wanted to know is why they have never seen a Shinigami before if they could see him now. Also the fact that he's been here for a while and never felt the presence of a hollow.
"Mira, can you bring a map to show him to see if he can recognize the land?." Makarov asked. She got up and went behind the counter of the bar to pull out a map from the shelf underneath and placed it on the table near Ichigo.
"Do you know any of these places?"
"Is this a map of Europe?" Ichigo asked. The map of Earthland looked quite similar to Europe but still vastly different.
"Europe? What's that?" Lucy asked. She scooted closer to Ichigo with the excuse that she wanted to see the map more clearly.
"Nevermind that. But don't you like have a map of the whole world? So I can show you where Japan is."
"What are you talking about? This is the map of the world. Look here where it says Fiore. That's where we are right now. In the city of Magnolia" Makarov said.
"What? What are you saying? This isn't the map of the world, this is only like one continent." Ichigo said thinking he really did end up somewhere else besides Earth." You aren't messing with me, now are you? Where's the US? and Asia and all the other continents?This is clearly not the same Earth that I know of." Ichigo got angry pretty quickly than he is known for and started to sweat and his blood pressure raised as his heartbeat did. He tried putting all this together, realizing how serious this situation could be.
"Okay let me think this through. First, there are normal human here who have powers and clearly have the ability to see things in soul form but have never heard of Shinigamis and never seen hollows before. Second, the houses and building here look like they're clearly not from the modern era, much less the clothes they wear. And third, the map they showed me is completely different from how Earth looks like. Did I somehow get teleported somewhere? Wait! The last thing that happened to me before I ended up here was a really strong warped vortex in Hueco Mundo sucking me in after I did Mugetsu. Now that I think about it, I was trying as hard as I can to get away from it, but it just rendered all my movements useless. Was that the cause of me being here? Did I really get transported to like, another world?" Ichigo thought many things as he grew more and more worried.
"H-Hey... C-alm down." Ichigo came out of his trance to hear a raspy voice. He saw everyone was struggling to pick their heads off the table as he heard Cana. Ichigo had had gotten frustrated from what he thought about and that started to rile his reiatsu up a little without noticing and it made everyone fall to his reiatsu's mercy. However, Makarov was the only one who was able to keep his shoulders up, albeit with struggle.
"Oh! Sorry, guys I didn't know I was doing that. It's not easy trying to hold it in all the time, so I kind of raised it by accident."
"Damn. Just when I was getting used to your pressure." Gray muttered.
"That really is a troublesome thing you have, you know. Even if it means you are really powerful." Bisca added.
"Urgh. Hot guys really are repelling, aren't they?" Lucy thought. She struggled to get up as well and started to worry. She was worried that she woudn't be able to get close to him without nearly choking all the time. She was going to have to figure something out.
"Hey, where are you going?" Natsu asked seeing Ichigo walk some distances away from the table to an open area in the middle of the hall.
"Everyone, stay where you are. Don't move." Ichigo said.
"I'm so stupid. Why didn't I think of opening a Senkaimon before? I worried over myself when I could just open the gate to go to Soul Society, then from there to the human world." Ichigo thought as he grabbed the hilt of Zangetsu, unraveling the criss-crossed bandaging.
"What are you doing?" Asked Makarov seeing the giant blade. Ichigo focused a little reiatsu to the tip of the blade and stabbed the air holding it sideways with the blade perpendicular to him, then turned it 90 degrees to the right to open the Senkaimon.
"Okay. That should do it." Ichigo said waiting... but there was nothing. "Huh? What happened?" He tried again, but still nothing.
"What is he trying to do? He's just hitting the air. He's not drunk now is he? There was some beer missing from my barrel earlier you know?" Cana asked awkwardly.
"I don't know. Maybe he's retarded." Natsu said.
"Whatever it is he seems to be getting pretty angry. We should get back incase we start to choke again." Elfman said.
"What the hell!? Why won't it open!? Dammit!" Ichigo yelled out. "Okay. If the Senkaimon won't open, then let me try the Garganta. Oh please god let this open." Ichigo started to get really worried then motioned his fingers to open the Garganta. Still that didn't open either. He tried it again and again, numerous times to no prevail. He was clearly worried and frustrated. "What is happening?! Why isn't anything opening? How will I get back then?"
"Uhm, excuse me. What exactly are you trying to do?" Levy asked from a distance.
"I think I may have ended up in a different dimension. I'm trying to open a gate that should allow me to travel through dimensions, but it just won't work!" He answered back worried.
"You can do that?" Lucy asked.
"Apparently not!" Ichigo said making Lucy jump from him yelling.
"A different dimension? Hmm, that sounds like a fitting reason. Though he is obviously not from Edolas. But how many other dimensions could there be then? The other thing is that he is able to open dimensional gates? These shinigamis have quite a vast amount of abilities it seems." Makarov muttered to himself.
"A-am I really stuck here? What will I do? There has to be a way to get back. There has to be." Ichigo hopelessly said to himself. "Maybe I could find someone who can help me. There has to be someone who knows something about traveling through dimensions here." He thought.
"Hey, do you guys know if there is anyone that can help open dimensional gates?" Ichigo asked.
"No, well yes but not really." Makarov said.
"What do you mean? Can you or can you not get that person to me? Or do I have to go there?"
"We do know someone who can open portals through dimensions, but it's impossible to reach him. He himself is currently in another dimension and we have no way of contacting him. I'm sorry, but I can't help you on that" Makarov said talking about Mystogan.
The day began to shift into the evening, leaving an orange hue to the sky speckled with clouds.
Ichigo sat down on the nearest chair to him with his elbows on his knees, his long orange hair hanging down to his nose and began to think. "How will I get back now? What will I do here?" He then began to think back to where he was in the white desert. "What was that thing in Hueco Mundo? It didn't seem natural occurring as it appeared right on the slash of Mugetsu. Did someone do this, so that they could get rid of me somehow? Who would want to send me somewhere else? I hope that by now, Urahara-san is trying to do something along with that Kurotsuchi to find where I am so I can return. There is no way they did not detect the warp in the space in Research and Development. They have been monitoring Hueco Mundo ever since I've been going there to train. I really hope that if someone did send me here, my friends will be okay if they are attacking them. If this is all true, then I have to get back there as soon as possible. I can't do anything here." Ichigo realized that if someone did do this, then everything he has been training for was all useless. He did it to protect his friends and family in the first place. And now no one will be there to protect them.
"But I will remind you that you must learn to trust your friends and family, and not do everything on your own. They too are training for you, so that they never have to put a burden on your shoulders..."
" Huh? Oh,.. that's right. I'd forgotten about that." Ichigo remembered what Urahara said to him. "I will have to trust them then. Or else all of their efforts will be gone to waste. If I can't return there, then I will wait for them. I will trust them." Ichigo thought about all of his friend including: Chad, Rukia, Inoue, Ishida, and all the people who he knows in Soul Society. Even his sisters who he loved so much that he would do anything for them along with their father. He then tried pushing the thought of someone doing this away and thought that this could have been even naturally occurring or an accident. With that thought, he returned to his placid state. "I wonder what they are doing right now. I've been told that I have been here for over a week now."
"Uhm, are you okay? You've been kind of siting there for a while" Lucy asked nervously as she approached him.
"Yeah. Uhm hey, we didn't finish your guy's explanation. You know the one about what you guy's are." Ichigo said to everyone there trying to change his train of thought. "We should continue."
"Very well then." Makarov said. Ichigo returned to the same table earlier with Lucy behind him.
"Woah. Now that I'm up close to him while he's standing, he's really tall. He's even looks taller than Laxus. Hmm... I wonder how big his-No! What am I thinking? I'm not that type of person! Oh, these kind of thoughts are really hard to control!" Lucy thought with growing blush marks.
"Before we start, why don't you tell everyone your name?" Mira said.
"Oh yeah. I don't even know his name yet! How do you like a guy and not even know his name?" Lucy thought.
"Oh right, you guys don't even know my name yet. Well I'm..."
"I have returned!" A loud voice sounded out from the gate being kicked through.
"Huh?"
"Gajeel! You're back!" Levy yelled excitedly, running over to him.
"Levy! Why did you make us go with him?" Two synchronized, moaned voices came out from behind Gajeel.
"Welcome back Jet, Droy! Did you have fun with Gajeel?"
"No! It was torture with him! He made us run for miles and miles to catch the creature! But it turned out that we were running around the village in circles before we even realized!" They cried out.
"Stop crying, you wimps! It was nothing!" Gajeel ordered.
"Gajeel!" Natsu yelled.
"Come on, Gajeel. Why don't you join us on the table?" Levy asked.
"Okay, but let me first get so-Urrgh! What is this!?" Gajeel froze in place and coughed at the obvious person we know who was causing him troubled breathing and standing.
"Oh! That's from that person over there. You'll get used to it over time." Levy said, who she wasn't even used to it yet.
"Him?" He looked over to the tall, orange haired shinigami. "He's doing this!? Who is he? It doesn't matter. I had a boring mission with these two idiots and I want to have fun. If he's strong I want to fight him!" Gajeel yelled turning his arm into a pillar of extending iron and shot it toward Ichigo.
"Oh, here we go again." Ichigo groaned and just caught the flat front end.
"HEY! Gajeel, leave him alone! He's my opponent! You can fight him after I beat him!" Natsu yelled at him angrily.
"Stop!" Ichigo yelled crushing the pillar in his hand and swinging Gajeel into Natsu. "You both will be quiet from now on, understand?" Ichigo ordered, but they only let out groans as response.
"Why did you swing him into me?" Natsu asked annoyed.
"Well, you deserved it." Lucy broke in. "Now come on and sit down already, will you?"
Gajeel and Natsu trotted their way back to the table and sat down with annoyed faces.
"Now before we were interrupted, you were introducing yourself." Bisca said.
"Right. So my name is Kurosaki Ichigo. I'm a twenty-year-old college student with plenty of bills to pay. I'm sure you guys are to introduce yourselves to me now? I've already met Mira and uhmm Maka- something here already."
"Makarov." He corrected.
"I'm Bisca." Alzack. Romeo. Natsu! Gray. Cana. Elfman. Levy. Gajeel. Bickslow. Evergreen. Fried. And I'm Lucy Heartfilia! Everyone introduced themselves and said something about themselves for a couple of minutes.
"Hey! What about me? You guys skipped over me!"
"Huh! Is that cat talking?"
"Aye! I'm Happy! And I love fish! Do you have fish?" "And I'm Lily." Happy appeared later on since he is too short to be seen and Lily had just arrived with Gajeel.
"There's another one?" Ichigo asked.
"Oh, yes. These are the exceeds. They too are from another world like you." Mira said.
"Now that everyone knows each other, I will tell you what we are." Makrov began clearing his throat. "We are the proud and strong mages of Fairy Tail! As you have seen, we are people that have magical abilities that use them to go on various adventurous jobs across the country to make a living. Guild members go to that board over there and pick a flyer off the wall, and do the job as requested for a reward. Might I also add that we are one of the strongest, most successful guilds around!"
"One of? You mean there's more?" Ichigo asked.
"Of course. This means that there are good, allied guild that we rival, and even bad ones that we call dark guilds who are not official guilds. In the end, we wish to cleanse those guilds from Earthland as they are mages who do the opposite jobs of what we do." Makarov said.
"Guilds are also places where you can hang out and have fun with your friends!" Mira added.
"So you're saying is that in these guilds, where people join I presume, come here to either goof off with their friends, or go on jobs across the country for a living?"
"In a nutshell, yes that's the basic of it."
"What kind of jobs are there? Is it like doing work for people as in labor, or...?"
"Yes, we work for people who send out requests to guilds that need help in various things. It can be from helping an old lady with her chores several times a week to fighting monsters that wreck havoc in towns. However, guild members cannot pick out any job they want. They need to get an approval from me to see if that person is fitting to do the job."
"I guess some people do jobs that are too dangerous for them?"
"Yes, that's right. Some people can be idiots at times." Makarov said turning his head toward Natsu who was goofing off with Gray.
"Guilds too have a ranking system. Every year we hold tests at a location to see whether members can be something called and S-class mage or not. These S-class mages are the strongest of the guild and get to do jobs that are posted up there." He said pointing to the second floor. "Of course those jobs are extremely difficult and dangerous, but the upside to it is that you can get paid millions of jewels at a time. And the rule here is that normal mages are not allowed to go up there."
"Jewels, huh? Now I really feel like I'm in some medieval place. I wouldn't have guessed that you guys use rocks as the currency" Ichigo said.
"Oh no, we don't use actual jewels, we use paper money but we just call it jewels. That would be an absurd amount to carry around with their weight. Did you have something else from where you came?" Lucy asked.
"No, we use paper money as well. But money was worth different amounts in different places. Like in my country about 100 was worth one in another country. There are country's that pay in even millions for everyday things. But it was all proportioned out, so it was okay."
"Millions at a time for everyday items? Where's the value in that?" Bisca asked.
"Oh, you have no idea. People would go crazy over these pieces of papers. At times, it even ruins people lives because of it. I guess because where I come from, the world is a lot more advanced so there is a more complex system for money there than it is here." Ichigo answered back. "I kind of don't want to get into the topic of money right now because it can be complicated on certain things, if you don't mind."
"No, that's alright."
"As I was saying. There are even jobs that are harder than the ones that the S-class normally do." Makarov continued. "After the S-class jobs, there are the SS-class. You can obviously guess that these ones can be even harder by multiples compared the regular S-class ones. And from here on out, the jobs get even so much more difficult that they have been available for over tens of years and no one does them. They are called the ten-year-jobs. Only few out of the many guilds here actually do them with success, and are even forbidden to some that want to do them. Similar to this, there is also the 100-year-jobs. This is pretty much the same as the ten-year ones, albeit with no one doing it for over a 100 years. Only one mage in Fairy Tail, and that being the strongest one here has gone to one, and came back with failure but left behind and arm and leg." Makarov explained the system of the jobs as Ichigo listened.
"Woah. These jobs can get complicated at times, huh?" Ichigo said. "So could you be able to go on 100-year-jobs?"
"I have gone on very few in my prime. Less than three actually, but I found that those jobs were not the best as I was always on the edge of death doing those. Anyway, they are very rare to come across. You don't even find many ten-year ones either."
"I see." Ichigo replied.
"Well, Ichigo. There you go, that's what we are and what we do. There are good and bad mages and easy and difficult jobs to do. That's pretty much it." Makarov said boisterously. "Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. Not everyone in the world has magical abilities. That's why there are guilds for people who do have them to come to." He added.
"Is that so? And the people who don't have powers are okay with living with people who do?" Ichigo asked.
"Very much so. If it wasn't for people without powers, we would have no purpose of building guilds and doing jobs for others in the first place. We all depend on each other." Mirajane cut in.
"Natsu! Wake up!" Lucy yelled out.
"Huh? What happened?" He groaned out enervated.
"You fell asleep during the explanation, dumbass." Gray said to him. He was expecting an attack from Natsu after the insult but to his surprise, there was none.
"Gray, you're naked again." Lucy then said to him without surprise.
"Wh-what!? I didn't even...!" Gray cried out.
...
Act 1: Scene 5
The night sky eventually fell over, pulling a full moon along that watched over the city looking between the mountains while the guild returned to it normal rowdy state after a couple of more minutes of explaining things to Ichigo of how things worked in this world. Ichigo had to dodge a couple of people here and there that assailed him for revenge from todays afternoon and tried to explain the situation to them. Ichigo sat on the bench near the back of the hall and has his reiatsu riled up so no one would attempt to confront him anymore. He had been thinking of what would happen now that he had to stay here until maybe Urahara worked to figure out what happened. "Ehh, he'll figure it out. There's no way that creep scientist Kurotsuchi-san along with Urahara-san can't figure out a way to open a way into this world. I know someway or another, they'll do it eventually. Or at least I hope they will. I hope I can get back soon, I'm already starting to miss Yuzu and Karin. Before I ended up here, I promised them that I'd take them to the mall after I got back from college but it seems that won't be happening now. Urrgh this really is troublesome, isn't it?" Ichigo sighed out getting tired.
"Uhm, hi there."
"Huh? Oh it's you Lucy." Ichigo lowered his reiatsu. "What's up?"
"Oh, nothing. I was just wondering that uhm where you were going to go when the guild closes in about two hours?" She asked nervously.
"Oh, I... don't know, I didn't think about that." He said. "Maybe I can ask gramps if I can stay here for the night. Or at least until I figure something out."
"Why don't you stay at my house!?" Lucy said out loud but then covered her mouth. Her heart started to beat at the speed of a two stroke engine. "That was so stupid! I could've been more subtle but I just blurted it out instead. He'll probably think that I'm weird now. He's not just going to stay over at some girls house! Ohh, what am I going to do?" She thought in stress, sweating down her forehead.
"Are you sure? I mean I don't want to bother anyone, you know? I'm sure I can work something out with gramps." He said breaking her thought.
"N-no, i-t's okay. I-I mean I can't j-just leave you h-here." She started stuttering to make out words completely.
"Are you okay? You seem a little red."
"N-no! T-that just happens to me s-sometimes. Allergies, you know?" *Fakes a sneeze*
"Allergies, huh? Well you should get some antihistamines then. They should help out."
"What are antihistamines?" She asked the first time hearing of that.
"Some people's bodies are allergic to pollen, dust, and other things. These allergens bind to what are called mast cells. That causes them produce histamines, which in turn speeds up the flow of blood and the production of mucus in the respiratory system causing high blood pressure, sneezing, watery eyes, and you know the usual stuff. And antihistamines basically prevents the production of histamines."
"Woah, how do you know all this? I have never heard of these things before." Lucy said to her surprise. "He's even smart too? What more could he have?" She thought.
"Well, I am learning to become a doctor of medicine, so I kind of have to know these things." He said. "Well, I'm just about ready to go now. It's really annoying being in a loud place, where you have to constantly dodge things flying at you." Ichigo yawned out loud.
"O-oh yeah, we should get going, then!" She replied excitedly and nervously. "Oh my god. I can't believe I actually did it. I didn't think that he would be that easy going. I guess I didn't have to practice over how I was going to ask him. The good thing though is that I stayed close to him for quite some time, so my breathing can become normal when I would talk to him. Or else I would never be able to approach him." She thought relieving herself.
Ichigo stood up to his towering height next to Lucy, who only reached to his lower chest. They made there way to the gates with Ichigo following Lucy.
"Hey, where are you two going?"
AN:
And here's the third chapter of my story so far. I hope you enjoy it as any author would want their readers to and do the usual favoriting, following, and reviewing, for I would like to see your opinions on this. One question I have is should I go a little easy on the whole reiatsu thing with Ichigo? I felt that I kind of overdid it with people not being able to get close to him at all while writing this. I also try to keep them in character as much as possible, so if I start to go off a little, I would appreciate a warning. Future chapters might be up quite late this time, since I plan on taking a little break, writing a whole lot, and splitting them into separate chapters. But who knows what will happen? I might change my mind.
Until next time!
