Halibel watched the bright false sun of Las Noches. Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned to see Nel walking towards her.
"Neliel."
"Have you seen Ichigo? He hasn't come back yet... I'm a little worried."
Halibel turned back towards the sun.
"... He's with the Quincy woman and his Quincy friend. They're telling him everything..."
Another voice appeared, screaming in rage.
"What!? Everything!? Who the hell thought that was a good idea!?"
Grimmjow appeared behind them, glaring at them both.
"If we hide any more things from Ichigo... He will not trust us..."
"'Cause that's gonna help! He's gonna be pissed when he comes back... IF he comes back!"
Nel panicked as she looked between them, tears nearly falling out of her eyes.
"But he'll come back, right? I mean... you don't think he'll leave us, do you!?"
Halibel closed her eyes, gazing towards the ground, while Grimmjow awkwardly scratched at his cheek.
"Who knows...?"
Grimmjow snorted as he answered.
"I think the old man might know..."
"He won't let him leave..."
"But whose to say he won't destroy him or something!? How do you think he would feel when he discovers that everyone is... that he's... you know!?" No one had an answer.
Halibel turned and walked away, mentally preparing herself for the hell Ichigo is going to wreck when he comes back.
"Haschwald...?"
"... He's dead, sir."
Juhabach closed his eyes in his last respects of his fallen nephew.
"I'm sorry, Masaki... I did all I could to save him. The Spirit King has already gotten to him..."
"Sir...?"
Juhabach stood from his throne and walked past the young Quincy, passing the picture of a smiling woman with bright orange hair on his way out of his throne room. Traveling below the depths of his castle, he arrived in his dungeon, passing thousands of Arrancars. He arrived at the very last door, kicking it open as he stared at the occupant.
"...Why have you come here, Juhabach?"
"Just letting you know that your son has killed my nephew-in-law."
"..."
"Masaki would be so embarrassed to see you now, Isshin.."
Isshin, dressed in his tattered and dirty Soul Reaper clothing, stared unwaveringly at Juhabach.
"Your son is speaking to Soryu Ishida... She's going to tell him everything..."
Isshin stared away from Juhabach, towards the disgusting walls of his prison.
"I want your son to come here... so he could see you after he has learned the truth about what you and my former wife has done. Do you wish for him to see you like this...?"
"Ichigo... he will do the right thing, no matter what you say to him."
"Really? After such a revelation, you think he will trust you?"
"No... but as long as he doesn't trust you, I have no shame... I've failed him already."
"Even... if he becomes a traitor? Could you really love your son... after what he'll become?"
"He will not become what you want him to be... And even if he does... he will stop your plan."
"I don't think Masaki would like that very much... He wouldn't kill me... Masaki won't let him..."
"Don't hide behind the words of my wife, Juhabach."
"MY wife... Isshin. Don't forget that you were the one who tried to kill her... There's only so much Urahara can keep from him..."
Isshin jumped to his feet, attempting to attack the snide Juhabach, who only stood there grinning in dark fascination.
"You will not be able to save Ichigo from the darkness. The moment the Arrancars got to him before me... was the moment his fate was sealed. Only you and Urahara are to blame for bringing mine and Masaki's plan into fruition."
"Alright, so tell me what's all this bullshit gotta do with my mother?"
In Uryu's self-sustained apartment, Ichigo, Soryu, Aizen, and Uryu sat in his dining room. Soryu sighed, preparing for the worst.
"Only if your promise to save all of your anger until you go back to Hueco Mundo... Karakura town doesn't needs anymore destruction, Ichigo."
"How bad will this piss me off...?"
"...How do you feel every time you see me?" Aizen stated.
"...Like I want to punch a baby..."
Aizen smirked
"Oh, this is gonna be good... You're going to feel much worse..."
"Aizen, shut up!"
Aizen turned towards the window, sipping his tea with a hidden smile on his face. Turning back to Ichigo, Soryu sighed, placing her face in her palms.
"Ichigo... we've all known about you since before you were born..."
"... The Vandenreich, right?"
"... And the Hollows... and the entirety of Soul Society..."
Uryu stood from his seat on his couch, mouth agape as he stared at his mom. Both he and Ichigo yelled out at the same time.
"Wait, what?"
"You've been written down in history... before Yamamoto even created the Gotei Thirteen. Before his confrontation with Mast- Juhabach..."
Ignoring her little slip-up, Ichigo was about to slam his fists on the table before he calmed himself down.
"What do you mean... by everyone knowing who I am...?"
"The First Spirit King... the very first Hollow... had your life planned out even better than Aizen could... Every Hollow attack that you and Rukia Kuchiki dealt with was to turn you into a Hollow."
"You mean..."
"The reason the Arrancars found you... was because the Spirit King told them to."
Glancing over at Aizen, he closed his eyes to keep from raging on the calm man sipping his tea.
"You... were the Transcended Prophet of the Spirit King. The man of all races, representing his power on Earth. The man who would transcend all races and become the ultimate existence."
"Transcend all races? Where have I heard that...?"
Hearing a very loud sip, the answer became very clear to him.
Fear is necessary for evolution. The fear that one could be destroyed at any moment. Thank you, Gin. Thanks to your efforts, I have finally risen to an existence that surpasses both Soul Reapers and Hollow.
"Was that why you were interested in me since my birth... Aizen?"
Aizen took a slow sip of his delightful tea before answering.
"Obviously..."
Soryu tossed a pillow at Aizen, who ducked while he was sipping his tea. Rolling her eyes at him, she turned back to Ichigo.
"Yes, you were the very being Aizen wished to become. That's why he made you his rival."
Waving Aizen off, Ichigo continued, wanting to know the important factor in his existence.
"That's great and all, but what does my mother have to do with this...?"
Soryu sighed, laying back against her chair, appearing like a woman twice her age. Rubbing her sore head, she tried to find the best way to answer his question.
"That's the difficult part..."
Aizen, finally done with his tea, placed it in the sink before turning to interrupt Soryu.
"I'll be taking over from here... This is taking too long and you've become too emotional."
"Aizen, wait! Don't-"
"Kurosaki, your Quincy mother has planned your life out with the Vandenreich from the beginning."
You could here a pin drop in the room at the awkward silence that followed his statement.
"Come again?"
"Your mother, the former wife of Juhabach, intentionally created you. Everything, from your birth to your mother's death to your existence today was planned out by Juhabach."
Ichigo nearly fell over in his chair, shocked at what Aizen was implying.
"What do you mean!? Wife of Juhabach, my ass! What bullshit are you speaking of!?"
"Exactly what I said... Masaki had created you for the sole purpose of being a tool of war. A weapon for the Quincies..."
Soryu continued from where Aizen left off.
"...and the Soul Society. You were... the false unity that would bring together the races that had fought for a thousand years. Unlucky for the Quincies, Aizen manipulated Rukia Kuchiki into finding you first, otherwise you would have taken the place of Haschwald by now."
"My... mother... and my father...?"
"Basically, Kurosaki, your mother and father left their respective factions and created you because of the written prophet. After creating you, they would have fought to have you as a weapon..."
Aizen stared directly into Ichigo's blank eyes, dropping his final bomb.
"... which is exactly what they are doing now... The Thousand Year Blood War is because of your mixed blood of Human, Quincy, Soul Reaper, and Hollow. You... Ichigo Kurosaki... are the reason this war exists... And so long as you exist, the Soul Society will ally themselves with you and Quincies will continue to fight until they have you."
Silence engulfed the room, everyone waiting to see Ichigo's reaction. Ichigo sat in his seat, eyes downcast. He was lost, confused, and angry.
'But my mother and father... they both fought for me... they were... they were just using me...? Wait...'
"My mother died for me! And my dad... he fought you to help me! And what about my sisters!? Did they not love them either...!?"
Soryu replied, answering him as calmly as she could.
"Nobody said anything about your father not loving you... He sacrificed his powers to keep Juhabach from getting to you, after all. Your sisters were proof of their love..."
"Do not sugar-coat this, Quincy woman. His father sacrificed his powers to-"
Ichigo interrupted Aizen, screaming at them both.
"But what about my mother!? You only mentioned goat-face!"
Soryu opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, refraining herself from saying anything. Aizen attempted to finish, but another voice interrupted.
"She... was the one who attempted to give you to Juhabach. Isshin's Final Getsuga Tensho did not hurt her... because he loved Masaki too much to kill her. She defeated him and was prepared to turn you over to her husband..."
Turning, Ichigo watched Kisuke walk into the room, Yoruichi and Sui Feng behind him. Kisuke's face was one of regret and dark sorrow. Ichigo gulped as he finished his sentence.
"Until Grand Fisher showed up and... and..."
Kisuke shook his head as he corrected him.
"Grand Fisher did not kill her..."
Ichigo's confused look made Kisuke glance away.
"What!? But... I saw him! He tricked me and tried to kill me! My mom jumped in the way!"
"No... Grand Fisher was defeated... He left the area."
"How would you have known!? You weren't-!"
"Because I was there... I made him retreat, so he couldn't take you to the Spirit King. I stopped Masaki from taking you to Juhabach...I didn't want you to become a weapon for Soul Society, either... but I failed. The Spirit King has a hold on you already..."
"Then... why didn't you save her!? You could have saved her, Urahara!"
"No I couldn't, Ichigo."
"Yes, you could! You were there... you-!"
Aizen chuckled darkly at Ichigo's attempts to deny Kisuke's meaning.
"Why are you trying so hard to deny the obvious, Kurosaki...?"
"Because... Urahara... he helped me! I won't...!"
Ginjo popped into his mind almost immediately. Every word of that man pounded at his skull like a hammer.
How much do you know...? About your family, I mean.
Worried? I would be... since she's visiting a shifty guy like that...
Just what do you know, exactly? What makes you think... you understand Urahara? If I were you... I'd protect my family as soon as possible from him...
"Ichigo... "
"Shut up, Urahara! I'm not listening to you!"
"I..."
"Damn you, Urahara!"
Well, can't you see the resolve to kill you in my sword?
"I... was the one who killed your mother... Ichigo... because I tried to kill you first..."
Trivia
-Might be a little hard to understand what happened, tried the best I could before rushing to class, but quick summary of Ichigo's situation
Basically, Masaki and Isshin were arranged to be married under the guise of a peace treaty. In reality, this was an attempt to make the very special being that was prophesied by the Old Spirit King. Because of this, the Quincies and the Soul Reapers have been fighting to create the ultimate weapon, which was Ichigo. The Spirit King also wants to use Ichigo for his own personal use, hence the reason Halibel, Nel, and Grimmjow found him (Which is how they knew when he died). As such, Ichigo just realized that from the beginning, he had been a weapon/tool to be used by everyone in the world.
-Masaki was married to Juhabach before being arranged to Isshin.
-Aizen is neither an antagonist nor a protagonist. As shown, he saved Ichigo from being a Quincy and being used by Juhabach by sending Rukia. He also wants to kill the Spirit Prince (Leader of Soul Reapers) and he wants to break the boundaries of Soul Reaper and Hollow (What Old Spirit King is). In short, he is actually the enemy of the entire world and he sorta-kinda helps Ichigo.
-Masaki is dead (Sort of). Aizen was not speaking to her earlier.
-Grand Fisher does not know he didn't kill Masaki. He injured her, but Kisuke made him retreat and dealt the final blow to Masaki in an attempt to get rid of Ichigo.
-Isshin used the Final Getsuga Tensho on Masaki to stop her, but didn't follow through with it.
