"and normal quotations is communication between people"
voices
"what the hell are you talking about, and how did you get in here"
ichigos voice boomed across the cell walls as he stared down the man on the outside of his cell
he saw the mysterious man reach in his robes, the action brought ichigo to his feet waiting for him to draw a weapon
this made ichigo feel like he was starting to get paranoid when he noticed the man pull out a simple fan and held it to cover his face
"well this is quite the surprise"
ichigo was getting annoyed by the man staring at him like some kind of freak, he knew he wasent a guard because his robes seemed more of commoner attire, and he was to care free to be an uptight noble his quriocity getting ththe best off him he questioned the man
"hey are you listening to me, who the hell are you"
the mysterious man was taken out of his train of thought by ichigos question
"well this is even more interesting you can see me and talk to me"
this man was not helping ichigos temper and his random comments were pissing him off
"of course i can fucking see you im not blind or deaf you know, now answer my god damn question"
the man just gave a care free smile and figured he would answer the the boy that was soon becoming his new interest
"ok ok calm down all you needed to do was ask"
ichigos mouth dropped and his face was becoming reder and reder but the man cut him off before ichigo could give his angry reply
"my name is kisuke urahara and to your relief i am not a gaurd"
ichigos face was still angry at how he brushed him off but decided it was best to get information from the man known as kisuke instead of arguing with him
"so if your not a gaurd then what are you and why are you here"
kisuke noded his head and took a deep breath before he told the boy his story
"i run a candy shop in kyoto and i also invent things in my spare time, but the reason im here is for you"
ichigo got in a defensive stance when he heard kisuke say he was here for him ichigo didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing
kisuke noticed ichigos quick actions and felt slightly sad
"kid must have been through shit to be this jumpy probably not even twenty and god knows what hes been through"
kisukes mind trailed to his eight friends he had to trap in here, but ichigo once again
broke through his train of thought
"what do you want from me"
kisuke quickly got back on topic before he made ichigos anger flare up again
"sorry this place brings back some bad memories, anyway im here to help you"
"wait help me what the hell are you talking about im fine minus this damn prison"
"tell me kid..."
"my names ichigo"
"alright then like i was saying, have you ever came in contact with a hollow"
ichigo stood there completely confused, a hollow he's never seen nor heard of a hollow
"what the hell is a hollow"
kisuke closed his fan with a snap and his face turned from care free to serious just a fast as he closed his fan
"a hollow is a monster from a world that is much different than yours, they have no drive but to feast on the souls of both the dead and the living"
"ok how would i know if I've ever seen one"
"they are easy to see if you can see them and since you can see me i asume you can"
ichigo was growing impatient kisuke was giving him everything he didn't need to know
"alright alright i get it im the only that can see you now what the hell does a hollow look like"
"calm down ichigo im getting there a hollow is a monster usually around twice the hight of a normal human and wears a white mask on there face, but the most notable thing about hollows are the holes in there chest"
ichigo went stiff kisuke just described the monster that he ran in to all those years ago the monster that killed him and his mother
ichigo didn't let the thought distract him at the moment he still had questions and this man didn't tell him why he was here for him
"a hollow killed me and my mother when i was nine what does that have to do with anything"
kisuke noded at ichigos response
"my condolences, but ichigo that hollow you ran into all those years ago is exactly why im here have you noticed anything about the cells"
ichigo looked at his hands remembering the cell bars burning him when he grabbed them
"the bars burned me when i touched them but how did you"
"how did i know well you see ichigo i built these cells nine years ago to keep hollows in"
ichigo looke at kisuke fear evident in his eyes ichigo was starting to understand stand what he was getting at
"what are you saying im not on e of those basterds that killed my mom"
"neither were the people i had to lock in these cells years ago they were good people that were experimented on and were turned into a hybrid of man and hollow just like you ichigo"
ichigo was in a hurricane of emotions not knowing what to do he did the only thing he could
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE ARE YOU PLAYING I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE MONSTERS THAT KILLED MY MOTHER!"
kisuke began to deflect ichigos outburst with his on, but before he could say any thing a group of gaurds walked in front of him
the gaurds walked in the cell quickly tackling ichigo go to the ground
ichigo hit the ground being held down by four gaurds but still did not cease his outburst until the two gaurds holding his arms put a rag in his mouth
the gaurd on the left and right of him that were kneeling on his arms took a end of the rag then the gaurds roughly tugged on the rag slamming ichigos head to the floor
ichigo was stuck to the floor unable to move his body and unable to yell anymore do to the gaurds holding the rag
ichigo stopped fighting when he saw akechi standing over him holding a brightly glowing metal rod
all thought of kisuke and his insane accusations were thrown out the window when he felt the excruciating pain of the glowing rod his eyes went wide and his body began to jerk in evey direction trying to get away from the rod
his screms were muffled by the rag but were still heard by kisuke standing behind the gaurds
with a look of horror on his face as he watched the gaurds continuously burn the poor kid
ichigo did not no what to think before the pain was too much and he blacked out
ichigos dream world
ichigo was in his dream world the amount of joy he had could not be described he was just glad to get a break from the pain even if he had to deal with shiros damn mocking
"hey king you alright?"
ichigo was at a loss shiro was concerned about him he still had that monstrous voice but he actually had sounded concerned
ichigo couldn't help but laugh mabye he was going crazy but having someone like shiro worry about made him laugh
"whats so damn funny"
ichigo calmed down after his fit of laughter ready to speak to his ass of a friend once again after all these years and all the threats he was the only one that fully under stood him so yea he considers him a friend, ichigo looked at shiro with a smile on his face
"yeah shiro im fine and i just thought it was funny that you of all people were worried about me"
saying that to shiro just brought the fit of laughter back at full force, but it was just pissing shiro off he was not in the mood to laugh after what those basterds just did to his king
"will you shut the hell up and get serious how the fuck are you able to laugh after what those basterds just did to you, ARE YOU A KING OR THERE BITCH!"
ichigos went from laughing to a small smile but it was not a smile of happiness but one of sadness
"shiro im tierd ive got nothing no one to care for i just want it to end the past four days have been hell but i got to thinking why bother fighting when i got nothing to fight for i just want a break"
ichigos voice sounded broken like his whole life was catching up to him
his voice even made shiro appear to be sad but only for a moment before it soon changed to calm
"fine then i will let you rest"
before ichigo could raise his head to look at shiro he felt a pain on the back of his neck before he blacked
ichigo was at peace no shiro no nobunaga just blackness
azuchi prison
akechi stood over ichigo with pure sadness in his eyes he never wanted to do this to ichigo but nobunaga threatened to kill him if he disobeyed and that would ruin his plan
akechi went to get a bucket of water to wake ichigo up since nobunaga wanted to see him after his fun as nobunaga called it
when akechi reached the tub of water he heard a loud scream but it didn't sound human it sounded like a demon
he grabbed the bucket and started to quickly walk back to where ichigo was until heard a blood curdling scream that was definitely not ichigo
akechi took off towards the cell leaving the bucket of water behind
when akechi reached the cell his legs went weak and his stomach was threatening to let his lunch loose
he saw two gaurds huddled in the corner of the cell and ichigo stood holding the two gaurds that held the rag in his throat
but the most terrifying thing was the white mask and yellow glowing eyes he had
akechi was about to speak but he heard the demon scream again, but it was not a demon it was ichigo
ichigo stared at akechi then dropped the gaurd he held in his left hand
the gaurd fell to his knees saying thank you repeatedly but it was soon stoped by ichigo kicking the man in the face sending him through the side of the cell only to be in another
the man still caught in ichigos grip began to panic at seeing his friend sent through a wall
he was about to begin begging but was stopped when ichigos fist went through his chest
akechi saw ichigo drop the gaurds lifeless body and to say he was terrified would be an understatement
akechi began to back up but then he saw ichigos head turn to face him
Akechi was frozen in fear and his fear only grew when ichigo started to walk towards him then ichigo spoke but it sounded like he was possessed like a demon
"you will feel the same pain that my king felt"
after ichigo spoke he reached his hand out to grab him but his hand froze in front of akechis face
kisuke watched the whole thing and did not feel a bit of remorse for the two dead gaurds hell he thought they should all be dead but there was something about the fifth one when he left he saw sadness in his eyes
so kisuke made a split second decision before ichigo grabbed akechi kisuke shunpoed in front of akechi and ripped ichigos mask off
akechi saw ichigos mask fade out of existence and saw the fall to the ground in front of him
akechi regained his composer and ordered the three remaining gaurds to carry him to nobunaga
nobunagas meeting room
nobunaga sat in his usual spot at the back of the room waiting for his men to bring ichigo to him
his door swung open and he saw akechi and two gaurds carrying a blood coverd ichigo
nobunga was surprised at the state ichigo was in but what intrigued him the most was only three of the five gaurds he sent came back
"where are the other two?"
akechi looked at nobunaga with fear still in his eyes
"the...they are dead lord nobunaga"
"WHAT! how did they die"
akechis fear grew as he worried what nobunaga would do when he told him ichigo was the one that killed them
akechi began to speak but one of the gaurds that were carrying ichigo spoke fist telling nobunaga that ichigo was the one that brutally killed his men
when the gaurd finished nobunaga began to smile wickedly
"is that so then i have an idea take ichigo to the training ground and bring three skilled fighters"
akechi did not like what nobunaga was thinking but he nodded his head and went off to complete nobunagas demand
azuchi training ground
ichigo woke up with a splash of water on his face he quickly got to his feet to see what was going on
his vision was blurred but he could see enough to know there was a man yelling and charging at him with a sword in hand
ichigo quickly jumped to the side to avoid the sword only to be smacked on the back by a staff
kneeling on one foot he got a chance to see his attackers and saw three men each with there own weapon
the third man that has yet to attack him was standing at least sixteen feet away
he was holding what appeared to be a scythe attached to a ball and chain
before ichigo could assess his situation any further the man threw his scythe
ichigo moved out the way just in time only getting a small cut on his arm
he figured he would try to take on the guy with the sword first so he could get his weapon
but that backfired when he felt a blow to the side of his ribs he quickly grabbed the staff and kicked the guys knee getting him to realese his hold of the staff
now that ichigo had a weapon he swiftly took out the staff's previous owner with a hard hit to the head
"great one down two to go never really used a staff but i can make it work...i hope"
ichigo brought his staff to his right side as he blocked the sword user
ichigo and the man began fighting for dominance as they both locked blades
but out of now where a ball and chain was sent flying at ichigos leg wrapping around his ankles and throwing him off balance
before ichigo could get up he felt a blade penetrate his shoulder
the feeling of his flesh getting damaged was getting to familiar for his liking, but he ignored the pain
reaching around with his uninjured arm ichigo grabbed the blade users leg and tugged as hard as he could sending the man to the ground
ichigo took advantage of the man and slammed his staff on his leg breaking his
while the man was busy yelling in pain ichigo grabbed the blade that was stabbed in his shoulder and started to pull it out
the pain that he felt trying to pull the blade out hurt so much more than when it went in
ichigo just gritted his teeth and with one final tug he pulled the blade out just in time to block a scythe coming straight at his face
ichigos legs were still wrapped in chain so he couldn't use momentum to get the man of him
the man was just pushing harder and harder down on ichigo he thought he was beginning to win the battle until ichigo slanted his staff a little making the man scythe slide off the staff and into the dirt, before the man could get back up ichigo used his staff to deliver a punishing blow to the back of the man neck knocking him out
ichigo sat up and began unwrapping the chain from his ankles
"very good that was an entertaining fight i hope my men while now see why i decided to keep you alive, now ichigo confirm your victory by killing those men"
ichigo finished unwrapping ththe chain and stood up with the same defying look that he saved just for nobunaga
"fuck you im not doing your damn dirty work"
nobunaga smiled at him as he usually did
"very well take the shiba back to his cage and be sure to make him feel comfortable"
as nobunaga said that ichigo was surrounded by gaurds that quickly put him back to the ground and brutally beat him only this time he could not blackout he was awake for every painful blow
azuchi prison
ichigo was beginning to love the the cells mainly due to the fact that whenever he was out of them he was never in a good situation
it had to be around two or three in the morning when ichigo was thrown back in to his cell to get a break from the torture he had to indore
to say that ichigo looked like shit would be an understatement he had scars just about every where you could get them his face was covered in dirt his hair was once again coverd in blood
at least he had pants on this time instead of being thrown in here with nothing like last time
ichigo was exhausted and was on the verge of passing out till he heard a voice talking to him
"how you holding up"
ichigo looked around so he could put a face with the voice but no one was around
he thought he was going crazy till he heard the beautiful voice voice again
"hey im talking to you, your still alive arent you"
realization hit ichigo when he heard the voice coming from the cell next to him but he couldn't see the person due to the stone wall in between them
ichigo was relieved when he heard a voice that wasn't that basterds nobunaga, his gaurds or a damn ghost man named kisuke it was the voice of someone in his position a prisoner
"yes yes im alive"
ichigo turned to the wall with a little hope back in his eyes
"thank god i thought you where dead"
ichigo didn't no what to say to here what could he say im in prisoned by the man that killed my family and i get tortured daily
no he couldn't but he'd do anything to hear the soft beautiful sound of her voice
"no im alive, when did you get here i mean i thought i was the only prisoner"
ichigo was a little nervous not wanting to piss off the only possible person he could have to talk to
"thats good but im not actually a prisoner"
ichigo was confused how could a person in these cells not be a prisoner
that was the extent of ichigos questioning though because she could have told him she was an angle and he would believe here
"so who are you if you're not a prisoner"
ichigo sat staring at the wall waiting for a response
"my name is yoruichi and i dont really want to talk about why im here if that alright with you"
ichigo got a little worried he thought he offended her
"nonono it alright i understand"
ichigo said this while shaking his head waving his hands in front of him like she could see him
"hahaha its ok you didn't offend me i just don't want to talk about me why dont we talk about you instead you sound like im the first friendly voice you've heard in a while"
ichigo was glad he didn't offend yoruichi but he felt kinda sad because she was right its been so long since he heard a friendly voice
ichigo decided he had nothing to lose and told her his story
by the end of his story he could have sworn he heard a tearful sobs behind the wall
"you can't give up ichigo no matter how hard it is you got to keep fighting and make sure you kill that basterd for what he's done ok"
ichigo was shocked at the girls statement and at the fact that with that sentence this girl rejuvenated his will and he felt as if he could take on nobunagas whole army
he was cut from his ththoughts by yoruichi voice
"promise me ichigo don't give up you have to say it"
ichigo couldn't help the small smile that came to his face when he heard yoruichis concerned voice
"fine fine i promise to not give up"
"ill be here when ever you need someone to talk to from here on out you not alone"
ichigos only reply was a light snore
when yoruichi heard this she walked through the bars and walked in front of ichigos cell the sun light shining through revealing a black cat with golden eyes the cat then transformed to a beautiful dark skinned woman wearing tight black pants and a orange shirt that showed off her curves nicely
though yoruichis eyes were red from crying she still smiled at the peaceful view of ichigo sleeping
yoruichi began to leave azuchi castle thinking about how she ended up here
kisukes candy shop 2 days ago
yoruichi was having a peaceful day business was slow probably because she changed the sign to closed when kisuke left
yoruichi had nothing to do but relax so thats just what she did she say in a windowsill drinking milk and taking in the cool evening's breeze
she was about to doze off till she felt the reishi of a pissed off kisuke this was really rare for her longtime friend sure he would get mad at her jokes but he would quickly dismiss it and reply with his own
though this time he seemed genuinely pissed yoruichis assumption was confirmed when kisuke burst through the door yoruiyoruichi quickly got to her feet walking over to her friend
"kisuke what's wrong"
yoruichi put her hand on kisukes shoulder trying to get kisuke to turn and talk to her
kisuke turned to face her with pure anger in his face
"its that basterd nobunaga hes just like that basterd aizen"
"what do you mean kisuke what did he do?"
kisuke tried to calm down so he could explain to yoruichi what happend when he went to check the hollow presence coming from his cells
"he has a boy locked in a cell and is slowly draining the life out of him"
yoruichi did not no how to respond nobunaga gained a lot of rumors about him over the years but never has a rumor said he takes prisoners
"what do you mean nobunaga doesn't take prisoners and even if he did he wouldn't take a boy right?"
thats what i thought yoruichi but do you reremember nobunagas massacre of the shiba clan"
"yeah he attacked the clan because they refused him as usual with him"
"yeah thats true but the shiba clan was once known as the fiercest warriors in japan"
"so what does that have to do with anything"
"at the end of the massacre there was one survivor he captured the boy and is hoping to reignite the flame of the legendary shiba clan"
yoruichi was worried for the boy god only knows what twisted things nobunaga was putting him through
yoruichi was still trying to think of what pain the boy was going through untill she heard kisuke call her name
"what is it kisuke"
kisuke tensed up he was about to ask a big favor to his best friend
"yoruichi i need you to watch over him"
yoruichis eyes widened at the thought of being a babysitter
"WHAT! why do i have to and when you take a interest in nobunaga you know we aren't allowed to directly interact with the living even if we have no connection to the soul society anymore we have to have boundaries"
"i know i know but yoruichi this is serious the kid is part holllow i saw him give in to his hollow and it was a massacre he is far stronger than the vizards"
"you...you're kidding me right how the hell im i supposed to keep him calm"
"i dont know try to be his friend thats what he need most right now and i already blew it in that department so its up to you"
yoruichi rolled her eyes and turned around heading back to the windowsill she was on previously
"so will you watch out for him"
"GOD DAMN IT! fine ill do it but im not sure im going to be his guardian angel so if this go's wrong its on you"
present
"im glad i got a chance to help you after all ichigomaking her way back to the candy shop she saw kisuke sitting at his table working on a new invention when he noticed her walk in though he stopped and looked at her with hipe in his eyes
"how'd it go"
"i might be able to help him hes stronger than he looks you know"
"i know I've seen his power remember"
"no i mean as a person hes been through a lot of shit but he carries on"
with that yoruichi began to tell ichigos story to kisuke leaving out more personal parts he told her, she thought since he trusted her enough to tell her she wouldn't tell anyone unless it was necessary
azuchi prison
after that day ichigo faced hell every day
hed wake up getting beat then forced to fight nobunaga would try to get him to obey him he would disobey every time then his day would end with a random form of torture yeah his days were hell, but his nights were heaven he'd just sit with his back to the wall as he talked his heart out to yoruichi
a few weeks into the cycle and ichigo even told her about shiro and how he was the biggest prick he ever met but was his best friend at the same time
he told her about the bath he had to take his first night here though he quickly regretted it because she used that story to mess with him every chance she got
he would get flustered and angry but in the end it made him smile
however yoruichi was not happy she truly felt bad for ichigo, but she felt like he was getting to attached to her which made her want to quit seeing him before she tooit to far knowing she couldn't be his friend forever
but every time she went back to the cell she would see him beat up which almost made her cry every time, but the smile he had on his face just made her want to come back
hell she could almost feel the smile on his face grow when she spoke to him and the thought of her leaving him troubled her what would he do if i told him it was over i couldn't talk to you no more
so she didn't she kept coming back and talking to him she laughed at his story as a child and and the good times he spent with his family and she cried at the times he would be picked on and bullied
it wasn't long till she found her self talking about her life, leaving out the part about her being a soul reaper and the soul society
ichigo seemed to enjoy the story of how soi fon would would always follow her around and when she would talk to yoruichi she would start to blush and stutter
"sounds like shes got a crush on you"
yoruichi didn't like the fact of someone
beating her at her game
"well if that's the case i guess there's a few girls that have a crush on you didn't you say the merchants daughter said you have a nice ass?"
yoruichi thought she won when she heard ichigos laughter cease, but when he began his loud rambling he usually does when she teases him she knew she won
"the merchants daughter never said that hell i never talked to her i just told you that shiro joked about here looking at my ass"
"well thats not what i heard"
ichigo was glad she couldn't see him his face was blood red and it felt like the prison was getting hotter and hotter
ichigo saw the sun beginning to shine through his window and his flusterd face turned to one of disappointment
it was always the light of morning when she would go to sleep he always would try to get a look at yoruichi when he would get drugged out his cell but the exit to the prison was opposite of her cell
ichigo want to see if the beauty in her voice matched her appearance
ichigo wasn't the shallow type to only care about looks but he couldn't help but imagine the beauty of a goddess
the sun was shining brightly through his window now he was just waiting for her to confirm that she was going to sleep
yoruichi saw the sun coming through her window as well knowing it was soon time for her to leave but she had somthing important to say to ichigo before she left this time
"hey ichigo"
ichigo looked at the wall but didn't want to speak he was scared if he spoke she would leave him even if it was just sleep he never wanted to stop talking to her she was the only one he had anymore a new person to care for a faceless voice
"there's something i want to tell you ichigo but first how are things with nobunaga"
well ichigo was relieved she wasn't going to sleep she was staying up to talk to him even if nobunaga wasn't his favorite topic who was he to argue
"things are fine minus the endless fighting and torturing im still trying to figure out how to kill that basterd"
yoruichi was saddened at how ichigo just casually commentes about being tortured endlessly
"didn't that akechi guy tell you he had a plan"
ichigo was not excited about the thought of trusting akechi
"you know the last time i trusted him i wake up to him burning me right?"
"yeah i know but think of it from his view it pisses me off that he did that to you but that probably made nobunaga trust him more and of he is close to nobunaga hes the only one that can probably pull off an assassination"
ichigo didn't like what he was hearing but she did have a point and to be honest ichigo would do almost anything for his new friend if she just asked
"fine fine ill ask him its about time for my daily wake up call anyway"
yoruichi new what a daily wake up call was and it wasn't pretth she caught ichigo getting woken one of the morning's ichigo fell asleep while talking to her they silently went in to his cell and coverd his face with a rag and poured water on the rag drowning him it took every thing she had to not kill the damn gaurds
yoruichi was about to tell ichigo the news she was dredging she had to leave for good this time
if the soul society found out about her not just interacting with a human but also befriending one would cause trouble for both of them and ichigo has been through enough as it is
yoruichi pushed down the pain that was building in her heart she was almost in tears she had to tell the one person that needed her most she was leaving him forever
"god damn it you were supposed to help ichigo not be his damn friend"
yoruichi was snapped out of here thoughts when she saw a guy open up ichigos cell she was already getting mad what were they going to do this time
"akechi why are you here"
akechi looked at him knowing he had to get the big problem out the way he wasn't sure if a apology would help but he gave it a try
"ichigo im really sorry for what i did to you but nobunaga ordered me to do it and if i didn't my plan would have been ruined but it got me closer to him so this should make the..."
akechi was cut off when he saw ichigo staring at the wall of his cell like he was waiting for it to speak
akechi was about to begin where he left off but stopped when he heard ichigo respond with determination that rivaled his own
"ill forgive you if you help me kill nobunaga"
akechi didn't see ichigos gaze waver from the wall he spoke though akechi didn't mind he was estatic he had finally had ichigos help
over a months worth of pain and sadness hes finally had enough akechi motioned for ichigo to follow him out the prison
while walking to the exit akechi was explaining his plan to ichigo when a black cat ran ahead of them and left out the exit
"look ichigo ill tell you the whole plan later but after the fight today you have to bend a knee to nobunaga gain his trust"
"fine but im not slaughtering innocent people for that bitch"
azuchi training ground
ichigo stood looking at nobunaga the same way he has for a month only this time he was surrounded by five dead men
nobunaga was increasing the number of fighters when ichigo got better at fighting a certain number
nobunaga was pleased he finally obeyed him this was nice he thought it would take longer but the type of torture he put ichigo through would break a normal man in half a week
what really made him proud though was when ichigo spoke to him
"i will fight to protect but i will not kill the innocent so im offering you my skills only if you make me one of your personal gaurd"
nobunaga was intrigued by his offer his intent was to make ichigo one of his personal gaurd to begin with but he never thought ichigo would want to protect the man that killed his entire clan unless
"do you really take me for a fool what stopping you from trying to take my life"
ichigo knew he had a battle of persuasion to get nobunaga to accept his terms so he attacked nobunagas weak spot, his ego
"if i was your personal gaurd that would make an attack on your life more difficult because you would now its coming and yoy skills with a blade are heard all across japan so it would be instant death to fight you and your elite gaurds men"
nobunaga couldn't argue with his logic but he would keep him on hold to see how he reacts
if he begins to be too bring up the proposal to much hes rushing for somthing which means he has a plan but if he keeps his mouth shut and still obeys I've probably actually broken him
"very well ill think about your proposal"
with that nobunaga commanded akechi to take him back to his cell
azuchi prison
it was just akechi and ichigo in the prison the squeal of the metal door swung open waiting for ichigo to pass through
"akechi can i look around the cells for a minute"
akechi nodded his head and moved back to let ichigo move around the depths of the prison
ichigo could care less he just wanted to see one person
when he reached yoruichis cell his heart fell from his chest quickly looking around to see if yoruichi was moved but he couldn't find her
akechi was about to ask why ichigo was looking around so frantically until he heard ichigo talk to him like his world was being destroyed all over again
"akechi where is the girl that was in this cell?"
akechi did not understand what ichigo was talking about
"what do you mean ichigo you're the only person in here"
when ichigo heard akechi confirm his fear he was torn in two he was once again left with nothing
ichigo walked in his cell and heard akechi close the door and walk away
"im going crazy the only person that i thought i had left was just a fucking voice in my head"
"i hate to crash your poor pitiful me party but im the only voice in your head king"
ichigo began to look around thinking he was dreaming
"shiro! where are"
"im in your head dumb ass your not dreaming your wide awake"
"how are we talking lile this i thought we could only talk in my dreams?"
"yeah thats true but when you killed those men today something awoke in you it felt, to be honest i wasn't expecting you to hear me say that its just your mopping was pissing me off"
"well it not my fault everyone i get close to ends up dead or is just in my crazy fucking head"
"well king good news for you she was real, now go to sleep i didn't get to kick your ass last night because you stayed up with that yoruichi chick"
ichigo had to agree with shiro he was tired happy but tierd so he crawled to his mat and looked up at the ceiling thinking about yoruichi
that was until he noticed word scratched on his ceiling that wasn't there before
ichigo stood up looking at the ceiling reading the note
"ichigo im so sorry about this but i have to leave ill always remember you, you where the best friend i ever had but i have to leave to keep you safe. i hope that you get out of that damn prison and have a happy life maybe take those girls out or find the merchants daughter. but maybe we will meet again sometime and i promise to give you the biggest hug ever when i meet you"
yoruichi
with that ichigo fell to his mat with tears streaming down his eyes he never cried only when his famliy died, but ichigo felt that after all thats happend he decided he could let his emotions take over
so ichigo spent the night crying, laughing and even getting flustered at the memories of yoruichi
"at least shes alright"
well that another chapter hope you guys enjoy planning on ending the nobunga arc in the next chapter and please tell me if my characters are true to the series or if im fucking up with them mostly the interaction between ichigo and yoruichi i felt i did pretty good with it but idk
any why a little back story on the name of the chapter i decided to name it voices because the chapter is about ichigo as he appears to be talking to voices through most the chapter
