Chapter 3: An Unexpected Turn Of Events

After what happened with Grand Fisher, there were many very interested parties wanting to know just what that massive energy was from before. Kisuke was among the first to get to the scene before the soul society could send someone to investigate and he was absolutely perplexed at this energy. He decided to take a few samples from what was left around the area to examine once he realized he was taking too many chances as it was. He left the area just before a senkaimon opened to reveal a clown-faced man wearing a white haori, a girl with an emotionless look to her face, another girl only shorter and with a green bun tying up her hair, and another man in a haori.

Kisuke furrowed his brow when he saw the other man walking out of the senkaimon. The rest of the soul society knew him as an earnest and friendly captain of the thirteen court guards squad, but Kisuke knew him by different means. This man was the reason that he and his two friends were exiled over one hundred years ago.

"It seems that this is the general area where that energy spike was present." The clown-faced captain said to no one in particular. "Nemu, you useless girl, don't just stand there. Start collecting samples!"

"Yes master Mayuri." The girl said with a similarly emotionless tone. She pulled out some kind of device from the inside of her sleeve and started to collect samples of the energy still floating around.

As She was doing this, Aizen looked intrigued by this energy. He had never felt anything like this before, and it made him very curious now. Power that he didn't possess or couldn't control always caught his attention, and this power seemed to surpass a lieutenants power easily. Not exactly on par with a captains power just yet, but if he could find the source of this power and tame it in some kind of way, then it would prove useful for his plans.

Kisuke decided that he had enough of seeing Aizen and left using a cloaking device that completely masks his energy. He returned to his shop and went to his lab to get a closer look at this energy himself. This was unlike anything he had ever seen before. This golden energy was completely unstable and had so much power to it, yet it wasn't any kind of energy belonging to a soul reaper, hollow, or Quincy. If that was the case, then who owned this energy, and would they be ally or enemy?

The Dojo

Ichigo was already sparring against Tatsuki when all of this was happening. He didn't pay any of the weird energies he was starting to feel any mind as he and Tatsuki were having the best match ever. Usually one of them would have the upper hand against the other at some point. Usually that would be Tatsuki since she knew multiple martial arts while Ichigo only knew a few and street fighting. This time though, it was as if Ichigo's sense had been dialed to eleven as he matched every single attack Tatsuki gave him. Even landing several hits on her in the process. Tatsuki noticed this change in his style. Beforehand he was tight and rusty, but now he was loose and flowed like water almost. It was surreal for her to be taken to the limit fighting her best friend like this, but she wasn't complaining when he managed to get her a good amount of times. She had a big grin on her face, same as Ichigo, as they ran at each other to continue their spar. That was when the master of the Dojo stepped in and stopped them.

"That is enough. Both of you." He said to them with a light smile. They both turned to him and bowed before doing the same to each other. "Very impressive Ichigo. You've improved greatly in such a short time. I hope you continue to improve upon yourself."

"Thank you sensei." Ichigo said to him and gave another bow.

When he rose his head up, he noticed that his mother was there next to the other parents. She had an unusual look to her face as she stood there, but tried to mask it. Ichigo could tell though that something was bothering her. After he got dressed in his normal clothes and went over to his mother, they took a walk back home in near silence. Ichigo held onto her hand and noticed that she wasn't smiling and looked very troubled for some reason or another. Whatever it was, this probably was not the right time to mention just what he did earlier to that furry monster guy. It was when they were about to come over to where Ichigo had fought him was when it started to rain. Luckily Masaki had brought an umbrella and a raincoat for Ichigo. He quickly put it on and stayed close to his mother as they continued to walk along, but suddenly and without any warning, Masaki walked away from the open field and started to head over in a different direction.

"Uh mom?" Ichigo started in a confused tone as Masaki had clenched his hand tighter and started to quicken her pace. "Mom. What's wrong? Why are we taking the long way home?"

Masaki didn't answer him initially as she only looked back with slightly saddened eyes and turned away from him. Ichigo didn't know how to react to that. To him, his mom was the strongest woman he had ever known. She had never been like this before. To see her like this was a little more than what Ichigo could take. It wasn't until he felt those weird energies again that he noticed that they were being followed. He turned his head and saw two girls not far off from behind them. One looked emotionless while the other looked slightly uneasy. That was when two men in white appeared next to the girls. Suddenly, they were just gone. Ichigo was puzzled by this until Masaki just stopped. He bumped into her and noticed that she had dropped the umbrella. Ichigo looked in front of her and saw the two men standing in front of her. Before he could say anything, he was grabbed from behind and something was placed over his mouth to silence him. He struggled for a bit before he was pulled violently away from Masaki.

"ICHIGO!" Masaki yelled out as her son was being taken away from her. She was about to try something, but was knocked out with a needle to her neck before she could do anything.

Ichigo struggled in the emotionless girls arms and was about to start fighting back, but he was also stuck in the neck with a needle that quickly knocked him unconscious in the process. When both mother and son were safely secure, Mayuri smiled at the thought of just what he could learn from this particular Quincy and this boy that was the source of that strange, golden energy. Aizen was also very curious as to what he could learn from this boy and was very excited to use any means to use the boy properly, even if it meant using his mother against him. Aizen opened up a senkaimon and the four proceeded through it right before both Isshin and Kisuke could stop them. When the senkaimon was closed and gone, Isshin fell to his knees in despair at the thought of his wife and his strange son.

Time For Some Chaos Now. That's What The Next Chapter Is For. I'm Gonna Enjoy Writing That One. LOL.
