Chapter 7 Bonds forged in battle
The first week of training had begun, the training was different for each of them. Yourichi trained Shinichi in mastering his transformation and his fullbring, The transformation is one of the abilities provided by his fullbring. But using his fullbring and his transformation drains his spiritual energy and will make him exhausted. They also began covering hand to hand combat, and mastering his fullbring energy blast ability.
"Okay Shinichi, ready?" Yourichi asked.
"Hai!" Conan transforms into shinichi, actives his fullbring and begins to spar with Yourichi. On the western side of the training area Heiji and Ichigo were about to begin their training.
"You all set Hattori?" Ichigo asked as he readied Zangetsu.
"I'm ready." Heiji summoned his fullbring and charges at Ichigo. At the south of the training area Kaito and Urahara prepared for their training.
"You all set Kuroba-san?" Urahara asked.
"Ready!" Kaito actives his fullbring and fights with Kisuke.
Later
Two battle worn teens and a faux child soaked in a hot spring, the hot spring actually has healing capabilities which was convenient. As their wounds healed in the hot spring the three talked about their training and other things.
"Ugh... I swear Kurosaki almost killed me." Heiji said.
"You too, I guess they don't hold anything back. When I was training with Urahara-san he cut me up pretty good, but he is pretty cool." Kaito said.
"You think you had it bad, Yourichi punched me through a rock, a huge hard rock! It's a wonder I'm still alive." Conan said.
"Damn Ku-Conan-kun, ya got it rough." Heiji said.
"So what about you Hattori, what was your training like?" Kuroba asked.
"Goddammit da guy is insanely strong. I can't even block'em wit' out me flyin' half a cross da training area. What was Urahara like Kuroba?" Heiji asked.
"Hard to read, one minute he's goofing off and the next he's in your face with his sword." Kaito said.
"Damn... Dis is gonna be hell ain't it?" Heiji said.
"Sound about right." Conan said. "But at least we have the hot spring, right?" Conan said.
"I'll say, this water is healing our wounds pretty quick I would love to have one of these." Kaito said as his wounds disappeared.
"Dis is pretty handy." Heiji said. Just then they hear Rukia yelling for them.
"Oi guys! Dinners ready!" Rukia said.
"Ya heard her. Time fer dinner." Heiji said. All three of them get out and get dressed and go to eat. After eating they listen to a explanation on basic combat from Kisuke and then begin their evening training. When the evening training was finished all of them go to bed, the beds were provided by Kisuke and were in the warehouse, since the training looked like it was alway daytime down there.
"So Kurosaki, what about school?" Conan asked.
"Luckily for us there's a flu bug going around, the teachers will think I got sick." Ichigo said.
"How much time has that bought you?"
"A week. Urahara-san and Yourichi-san will have to train the three of you when I go back to school. Well I'll see you tomorrow." Ichigo leaves.
"Time ta hit da hay, g'night." Heiji said as the light clicked off.
Later
The training resumed after a good nights rest. Once again it was the same Routine as the last time, Shinichi faced off with Yourichi, Kaito was training with Urahara and Heiji was training with Ichigo. The sparring match with Shinichi and Yourichi was heating up when Shinchi tried to out smart her in the match, but several times he was beat back.
'Damn... Wait I got it!' Shinchi charges up a energy blast.
"What's that boy up to?" Yourichi said to herself and dashed at Shinichi. Just when Yourichi was in front of Shinichi he jumps and flips over her, then while above her he launches the attack. The blast sends him flying into the air and he lands on the ground.
"Did I get her?" Shinichi said and looked at the crater and saw nothing.
'If she's not here then-' Shinichi thoughts were interrupted by someone appearing behind him.
"Boo!" Yourichi said.
"Wha-" Shinichi was elbowed in the back, this sent him flying forwards, then Yourichi used shunpo to get in front of him and kicked Shinichi in the gut.
"GACK!" Shinichi spits up some blood, and then was hit with a unforgiving barrage of attacks until he flew backwards and slammed on a rock then fell to the ground.
"You can't just out smart your enemy Shinichi-Kun. A good plan is nothing if you can't hit your enemy." Yourichi said.
"But that was point blank range!" Shinichi yelled as he slowly got back up.
"I am known as the flash goddess for a reason." She used her shunpo to get behind him. "Your smart Shinichi-Kun, but your missing something. Do you know what your missing?"
"Speed..."
"That's right, and without it you can't keep up." Yourichi said and punched him. The punch sent him flying into another rock, the impact destroyed a part of his protective suit.
"But that's not all you lack." Yourichi said to a downed Shinichi.
Elsewhere
Kaito ran a crossed the side of a rock and jumped high in the air. The great thing about having this power, it made him more agile and faster. Today he was working on his ability to sense Reiatsu, Kisuke hid himself and if Kaito doesn't find him he'll get attacked.
"Where is he..." Kaito muttered as he perched himself on a rock. Just then he felt something, it was a powerful and it was heading his way fast from the east. At the last second Kaito jumps off the rock just to see it get destroyed.
"Too close for comfort!" Out of the corner of his eye he spot Kisuke just standing there. "Gotcha!" He fires a volley of cards, the spades explode on contact, the diamonds and clubs hit him as well. When the smoke clears Kisuke is gone.
"Behind you!" Kisuke said and performed a flying kick that hit Kaito in his back.
"WOOOAH!" Kaito hits the ground hard and rolls for ten feet and crashes in a rock. Kaito was in bad shape, his left arm was dislocated, his right ankle was sprained, he was also bleeding from a gash on his head and. He popped his arm back into its socket and looked at his leg.
"Shit... I can't move with this..." Kaito thinks for a bit, then he gets an idea. He pulls out a king of hearts and places it on his sprainned, the card actives and heals his ankle.
"Not a bad power." Kisuke said making Kaito jump back and shoots out a burst of card which were blocked by Kisukes Chikasumi no Tate.
"Kirisaki, Benihime." Kisuke counters with a barrage of energy blasts, most of them hit Kaito and do a large amount of damage.
"A-are you trying to kill me!" Kaito stammered. The clothes he was wearing were torn and ripped up.
"Nah, if I really wanted to kill you I would do this. Kamisori, Benihime!" With a swing motion of his zanpakuto a red energy wave misses Kaito, he looks to see that a boulder that was behind him was split in half, from top to bottom.
"You see, what I'm doing to you is nothing." Kisuke said a grin. Kaito was left with a horror stricken look in his face.
Meanwhile
In a other part of the training area, Ichigo and Heiji began their match. His viridian colored blade clashed with Ichigos sword, Heiji goes in for an attack but Ichigo deflects the slash. Ichigo strikes with his Zangetsu and clashes with Heijis energy sword which sent Heiji flying backwards.
'Crap! Dis guys strength is unreal, how can I fight'em?' Heiji thought. Ichigo charges at Heiji and brings Zangetsu over his head and begins to bring it down for a slash. Heiji dodges and counters with a slash, but Ichigo uses his shunpo to get behind Heiji.
"No ya don't!" Heiji turns around and swings his blade at Ichigo, but he catches it with one hand. "Oh dats a load of-" Ichigo then throws him into a rock.
"You still good to go?" Ichigo asked the dazed detective.
"Yeah, fan freakin' tastic..." Heiji said as he slowly got up.
"Good... Let's go!" Ichigo charges him again. Their swords clash over and over again, Heiji was breathing heavily, sweating profusely and getting weaker by the second. "Come on Hattori, You can't stop now." Ichigo said as he kept fighting him. Heiji starts to notice that his blade is beginning to weaken and waver. Then finally Heijis sword disappeared.
"Looks like your at your limit." Ichigo pointed out.
'Dammit! Dis guy'z a freakin' beast. I can't out smart'em, even if I do he just doesn't get hurt. I guess I'm not strong enough.' Heiji thought sadly.
"You want to become stronger right?" Ichigo said, Heiji nods to this. "Then fight, there is no other path. In the pursue of power the only path is the path of battle, when you cut down your enemies to keep fighting. In order to become stronger you must seek out battles." Ichigo explained.
"Power... Kurosaki, why did you choose this path in life?" Heiji asked.
"Too become stronger so I can protect all of my friends and all those around me. A year ago I was given the power to fight and since then I've fought many battles. I trained to become stronger, and when it seemed hopeless I never give up." He rises Zangetsu in the air "Abandon your fear. Look forward. Move forward and never stop. You'll age if you pull back. You'll die if you hesitate." The ground begins to crack. Rubble begins to float in the air and Zangetsu starts to glow.
"Never surrender. Never retreat and keep push your yourself ta win, no matter how hopeless it is right?" Heiji asked which Ichigo nods. "Okay then, time ta stop screwin' around!" Heiji grips his charm tighter and the blade reappears and he rises it of his head, his eyes flashed with newfound power which makes Ichigo smirk.
'How did I do?' Ichigo asked within himself.
'Not bad king! Not bad at all! Althought if he doesn't get it, I gonna kick his ass.' Hollow Ichigo said.
'You learned well, and now it is time to pass on our teaching.' Zangetsu said.
'This guy better be ready cause if he's not, he's gonna die.' Hollow ichigo said.
"Right... GETSUGA TENSHO!" Ichigo yelled and released a energy blast. At the same time Heiji released a energy blast well. The two clash and canceled each other out. When the dust clears a large X shaped was on the ground.
"Not bad, every fight you'll become stronger. But for now rest, you need it." Ichigo said.
"Ha! what'd ya talkin' bout! I feel... Fine..." Heiji passes out.
So much for that..." Ichigo said and picked up Heiji and put him on his shoulder.
'The young man did well. I was surprised when he summoned his fullbring with little to no strengh left.' Zangetsu said.
'He' a dumbass though.' Hollow ichigo grinned. 'Kinda like you were back in the day right?'
'Shut up...' Ichigo told off his psychopathic half. When the day was finished, Conan, Kaito and Heiji were healed by Orihime. She stopped by because she wanted to see how the training was going. The three teens were amazed by her power.
"Woah! The wound is closing on its own... This is so cool!" Kaito cheered.
"I'd say, dis is different from da healin' spring. Kinda freaky watchin' ya wounds heal." Heiji said as one of the cuts closed.
"What are the limits to this power?" Conan asked as he watched his wounds close as well.
"Well... I can restore a hole arm if it gets cut off." Orihime said.
"So you reattached it?" Kaito said wondering as well.
"No, I don't need the arm at all. It will just come back piece by piece." Orihime said as she remembered the time she healed Grimmjows arm.
"I see... so do you turn back time?" Conan wondered.
"Nope but close. My power is the ability to reject fate." Orihime said. This shocked all three of them.
"Reject fate!" Kaito eyes widen.
"Holy crap... so could ya like return someone ta life?" Heiji asked.
"I did a few times." Orihime said casually.
"You have the ability to reject fate and resurrect people from the dead... With this power you should be doing great things." Conan said.
"We can't." Ichigo said as he walked up to the three. "Just think Conan, if those goons in black catch wind of Orihimes power they'll kidnap her and use her, right?"
"Kurosaki's right tantei-kun, just thinking what those guys in black would do to her sends shivers down my spine and if they learn about us then they'll try and kill us." Kaito added.
This was something that Shinichi never thought of. He believed that people with special gifts should be doing good and he wouldn't be needed. But then their are people who would hate those people with special gifts and attack them for no reason or out of jealousy and it would result in the gifted people to defend themselves. However, others would see it differently. To them it would look like they are abusing their powers. Lastly there's the black organization. God knows what they would do, they might kill, kidnap, dissect, or enslave them to do their bidding. To say the least, it would be a nightmare.
"I never thought about it like that..." Conan said. However something else was bothering him. He scanned his mind for anwsers.
"Um... Is he okay?" Ichigo asked confused, the healing was finished but Conan didn't move yet.
"He sometimes does dis." Heiji said. Then it hit Conan, Kuroba called him tantei-kun, only one person calls him tantei-kun. That someone was-
"Yo kid." Ichigo puts a hand on his shoulder which snapped him out of his trance. "C'mon it's time for dinner and you know what happens if your late." Ichigo grinned.
"Crap! I am NOT going to be doing the dishes!" Conan runs off.
Two weeks later
It was the last week of training and the three teens got the hang of their powers. As fullbringers they learned that they can manipulate the souls of objects, the ground, the water and the air. By manipulating the souls in the ground they can make the ground into elastic and jump high, they can also control the soul in the water and make it do what they want, and lastly they can stand in mid air only for a short time. Kisuke commented that since the three are geniuses they would learn the basics easily. Since it was the last week of training all three of them will be going up against Ichigo in his bankai for the whole week.
"You guys ready...?" Ichigo asked.
"Hell yeah." Heiji said activing his fullbring. Kaito and Conan do the same. When Conan transformed into Shinichi it kind of freaked out Kaito.
"What the- but you- how!" Kaito was at a loss for words.
"I'll tell you later, when we're not training." Shinichi said.
"Hey! You guys ready?" Ichigo asked. They all nod. "Alright... BANKAI!" A massive burst of Reiatsu is unleashed and kicks up a massive dust cloud. When the dust clears Ichigo looks different from his standard form, his black kimodo was now a shihakusho. His blade was different as well, Instead of a great sword it was now a daito with a cross guard on the hilt, it was a bit different from what Heiji was expecting.
"Wha' da... Dat's it man, I was expectin' some freakin' huge ulitmate weapon-" In a matter of miliseconds Ichigo was at Heiji with his bankai at his neck. This shocked the three of them.
'So fast...! No wonder why he said you have to see it to believe it!' Shinichi thought.
'Holy crap! Kurosaki was over there and now he's in tantei-hans face! I don't think we could hit this guy. Even if we tried!' Kaito thought.
"This is my bankai, Tensa Zangetsu..." Ichigo said. Heiji jumped back and attacked, only to stirke the air.
"Wha-" Ichigo was at Heijis left flank then at his right, then behind him, infront of him and all around Heiji. He was moving so fast, his speed created afterimages. Heiji tries to get a feel for his speed but... "Da hell! I can't get a bead on da guy!" Heiji yelled out loud, just then Ichigo attacks Heiji. He blocks it but Heiji flies back and skids on the ground. Kaito was no detective but even he could tell that without a doubt in his mind they are gonna get their asses handed to them in a basket.
"Eat this!" Shinichi launches a energy blast at Ichigo. He makes no effort to dodge or block. 'Why isn't he doing anything!' Shinichi thought. Ichigo calmly deflects the energy blast with his bare hands. 'No way...' Shinichi was stunned at the sight of what Ichigo did. He just backhanded the energy blast like it was nothing.
"My turn!" Kaito shoots five cards which make a poker hand. "Four of a kind!" The four cards took the shape of spheres and were linked to the fifth card. The spheres spun so fast it looked like a massive disk, then the attack flies towards Ichigo.
"GETSUGA TENSHO!" Ichigo launches his energy blast, it was a jet black shockwave with red outline Kaito's attack was engulfed in the shockwave.
"WOAH!" Kaito dodges the attack by the skin of his teeth. Ichigo uses his shunpo to get behind Kaito, he grabs him by the back of his shirt and throws him like a ball. Kaito couldn't doing anything, he was stunned. not only did Ichigo have speed and strengh, his reiatsu was dense. So dense it was suffocating him.
'So much power and his attack, it's different looking.' Kaito uses his fullbringer powers to soften the landing when he hit the ground. Shinichi tried to use another energy blast but Ichigo blocks it with his bankai, then ichigo shunpos to Shinichi and kicks him in the ribs. Shinichi flies back and hits the ground.
"So... You guys ready for more?" Ichigo asked.
"Y-Yeah just let me get up..." Heiji said.
"I feel like I was thrown at mach one..." Kaito said.
"You think that's bad, I now know what a soccor ball feels like when it gets kicked." Shinichi rubs his side were Ichigo kicked him.
Ichigo smrikes "Alright then, let's go!" Shinichi, Kaito and Heiji charge at Ichigo. The fight countiued until they were all exhausted. Ichigo called off the training when they couldn't fight anymore, when the training was done the three of them went straight to bed. The whole week was training with Ichigo and his bankai, they slowly got use to the bankai Reiatsu and were able to move more freely. The three week training ended and the three of them were prepared to leave.
"Before you go Conan, I took the liberty of crafting new clothing for your child form." Uryu said pushing up his glasses.
"Okay..." Conan said and was kind of creeped out.
"The clothing is special. The outfits are woven in threads of reiatsu. The reiatsu theads will respond to the activation of your fullbring and expand. Try it out." Uryu said. Conan went to change, he got a white hoodie, blue jeans and puts on a pair of shoes, then actives his fullbring and become shinichi, the clothing expanded to the size of his teenaged form.
"How did you do this!" Shinichi asked as he inspected the clothing.
"I studied the outfit that you normal wear. When your power released the reiatsu fused itself with your clothing and become a form of protective armor. I beileve the nature of your power is that your reiatsu pours into your clothing and forms a protective armor that can regenerate when damaged." Uryu deduced.
"I see... But what about the transformation?" Shinichi asked, he didn't get why he tranformed at all. Not that he minded it of course.
"It's pride." Chad said and actived Brazo Derecha de Gigante. "Those who have the power of fullbring have a item or in your case a skill that they are proud of or value. For Hattori it's that charm, the charm is most likely a gift from someone important and the same could be said about Kuroba about the card gun. But you, it's your skills that you attaind to become a detective." Chad explained.
"What are you proud of Sado-san?" Kaito asked.
"My skin..." Chad resonded silently.
"Your skin?" Shinichi asked, Chad nods.
"It's because of something that my Abuelo told me..." Chad explained.
"Abuelo?" Kaito asked not knowing what it meant.
"It's spanish for grandfather," Shinichi said.
"Well now, I think it's about time you three get going and here you go Kuroba-san." Kisuke said hand him two cases.
"Urahara... What's in the bag?" Shinichi eye brows twitched.
"Ah! Kuroba-san told me he was a magician so I taught him some of my tricks that I invented. You remember the paintball message right?" He said with the Urahara grin.
"Oh god..." Shinichi groaned. Over the three weeks he learn of Kaitos love of pranks and tricks. Shaking his head Shinichi grabs the cases of clothing, Uryu stops him before he can grab them.
"Don't worry about carrying the clothing Kudo-san, I'll have them delievered to the Mouri residence." Uryu said.
"I'll see you three later." Ichigo said good bye. Just then the shinigami badge goes off.
"What da, what's dat?" Heiji asked.
"My badge, it acts as a hollow alram. Well got to go." Ichigo uses the badge leaving his body on the ground and off to kill some hollows.
"Woah..." Kaito said in awe and poked Ichigos downed body.
"Kinda creepy." Heiji said and checked for a pulse. "Yo! There's no pulse is dat normal!"
"Is what we've gone throught these three weeks 'normal' Hattori." Shinichi mutttered. After that the three said their farewells.
"Don't be a stranger Shinichi-Kun~" Yourichi said sedeuctivly which made Shinichi flinch.
"Come here to hone your skills anytime, and Kudo-Kun. Remember that when your fullbring is activated that you are stronger, faster and more durable." Kisuke told him. After leaving the warehouse district the three men walk around town, Shinichi had the hood up so that he doesn't get seen.
"So Kudo I guess yer back now 'ight?" Heiji said.
"Not yet, I can't return to my old life just yet. First I need to take out the organization, get Pandora and get it destoryed." Shinichi said.
"Well I'm in as well tantei-san. We can't let them get Pandora." Kaito said darkly.
"Why would ya want ta get involved in dis?" The Kansai detective asked.
"Maybe it's the fact that if they get their hands on Pandora it will be the end of the world." Kaito retorted. "I'm not sure about you but I can't let theat happen."
"Kuroba is right we have to work together if were going to beat the organization." The meitantei of the east said.
"Yeah, and now we got an edge against'em." Heiji smirked. Suddenly Kaito and Heiji's cellphones ring and they both answer.
"Hello?" They both said to the caller.
"KAITO!"
"HEIJI!"
"H-Hi Aoko..."
"Y-yo Kazuha."
"Don't you 'hi Aoko' me BaKaito! I tried to call you several times!" Aoko yelled at the poor magician.
"Where are ya Heiji I tried ta call ya and I couldn't get a hold of ya!" Kazuha scolded the meitantei of the west.
"When I took my trip I forgot my cell phone battary charger so it died." Kaito lied smoothly.
"Ah... I was in a area with bad reception." Heiji managed to lie somehow.
"Oh... Fine! Just come home... It's been really boring without you." Aoko said sadly.
"Miss me~" The magician teased.
"DON'T push it..." Aoko fumed.
"Alright, I'll see you when I get home. Bye!" Kaito hangs up. "I got to go guys, see ya!" Kaito runs off.
"Yah, see ya Kuroba." Heiji said good bye to Kaito.
"Who?" Kazuha asked.
"Ah! Da guy's name is Kaito Kuroba. He's a magician." Heiji explained.
"Aww! I wish I could've seen some of his magic tricks." Kazuha whinned.
"Where are ya Kazuha?"
"I'm still at Osaka... Shizuka obaa-san is worried but..."
"But...?"
"Your tou-san said 'he'll tell us when he's ready' and something about you being a man and growin' up or somethin' like that." Kazuha said imitating Heizo Hattoris voice.
"Right, I'll be home soon, I just need ta pack my things and I'll catch the first plane out." Heiji said and hanged up his cell phone. "I got ta go Kudo." As Heiji left Shinichi walked around the city. It felt good to be back in him normal body, and the best thing is that nobody died. After walking through the city Shinichi sighed and found a good spot to turn back into Conan.
"Well... Time for me to turn back into Conan." Shinichi detectives his fullbring and returns to being Conan. "This is way better then using the temporary antidotes, It doesn't feel like I'm having a heart attack." Conan said. His phone started to ring, he looks at the caller ID and it say said Ai Haibara, he answers the phone and hears a angry Ai.
"Explain yourself Kudo-kun..." Ai commanded coldly.
"Did you ask Ran, I was with my Kaa-san." Conan lied.
"Ah, alright then what did you do?" Ai asked, still skeptical.
"Clothes shopping, they might be at the agency today." Conan explained, there was a chuckle on the other end.
"Must have been boring, your coming back today right?" Ai asked.
"Yeah, I just got back today." Conan told the scientist.
"Alright see you tomorrow." Ai hanged up. With that Conan gets on a bus to Beika street. After a few stops he gets back at the detective agency at eight o'clock at night. At last after three weeks of hard training he has returned to the place that he calls home.
