Chapter 7: Sayian's control
A few weeks have past in the soul society ever since Ichigo and Masaki were taken here. A lot has happened in those weeks. Some good, such as Ichigo being able to regulate how much power he emitted when he charged up, some bad, such as when Kenpachi Zaraki pushed the wrong buttons on Ichigo and caused a crater to form during their spar, and some horrible. The horrible part was when Ichigo nearly killed both Mayuri and Nemu and nearly blew up the department of research and development building. It took Masaki all she had to calm her child down after Mayuri's foolish attempt to try and dissect her again. After that little outburst, the head captain ordered that if Kurotsuchi were to ever attempt that again, he would allow Ichigo to do whatever he wanted to the clown faced captain. The threat was clear to Kurotsuchi. Things became weird though when Isshin came to the soul society to see his wife and son.
Weeks ago
True to his orders, Toshiro went to the world of the living and found his old captain pacing outside of a shop. After some banters and some slight threats on Isshin's part, Toshiro lead him back to the soul society, not even noticing that Kisuke and Yoruichi were watching from the shadows of the shop. They landed within the Seireitei and Isshin was quickly floored by his orange haired son. Floored as in tackled to the ground in a death hug. Isshin was taken aback for a couple of seconds before embracing his son tightly, noticing that he had not a scratch on him. As he sat up with his son still attached to him, he saw his wife walking up right to them.
"Masaki?" Isshin said with wide eyes as he stood up. Ichigo landed on his feet and watched as his mother and father looked at each other. "You're okay?"
"More or less." Masaki said to him as he hugged her right there on the spot. Masaki returned it despite her body still being a little sore.
"As much as I would like for this to continue," the voice of the aged head captain spoke, ruining the moment. "There is a more pressing matter at hand, Isshin."
Isshin looked to his former sensei with a frown as he knew what was coming now. You don't just walk out and abandon the soul society as a captain and then walk back in over a decade later and not expect repercussions. As he and his family made their way back to the meeting room, Isshin could hear the sounds of soul reapers he once knew from long ago and the newer flock as he was calling them now. The older soul reapers were shocked and stunned that the former squad 10 captain was still alive and was the father of this boy. The newer generation had heard of the legends of the man and knew that they must be true for him to have a son that powerful to begin with. For Isshin, this was hard for him. He left in order to be with Masaki and to live a normal life with the woman he fell in love with, but now that he's back, he knew that his relatively peaceful life was officially over. Especially when the central 46 hears about this.
Hours after the meeting, where some of the more vocal captains had various words to say with none of them being pleasant at all, the Kurosaki family sat in a room together. The room was a small, two bed, two bath room with a window looking out to the rest of squad 10. After much debating on what t do with Isshin at this point, it was decided that he would have to resume his position as a captain after a years probation (AN: I have zero clue how that works FYI). It would be brutal and harsh to simply execute him like the central 46 and a few captains wanted, much to the anger and annoyance of one golden haired child. It was actually the head captain that suggested the probation. Quick thinking on his part as he did not want the boy to go on another rampage.
As both Masaki and Isshin sat on the edge of the bed and watched their son on the other on asleep, a thought occurred to the former Quincy.
"Where's Karin and Yuzu staying at Isshin?" She asked him, knowing the answer already.
"My friends at the shop are keeping them safe." He answered them, knowing that they were being watched and recorded by certain individuals. For certain people listening in, they didn't know who those 'friends' were.
Masaki sighed as she nodded before placing her head on his knew that now, the lives of their children would be a truly difficult one. Living without seeing too much of your father and mother would be terrible for them both. All that she knew now, was that things would certainly become a struggle for the them all now. Especially with Aizen here.
Now, Ichigo was in another training session with captain Hitsugaya of squad 10. The reason for it being the young captain instead of one of the seasoned ones was really because Isshin requested it. The former Shiba clan head didn't fully trust most of the captains. True, the old man, Kyoraku, Ukitake and Unohana were fine despite how Ichigo nearly killed her, but he figured his son wasn't that ready yet when it comes to control. That was really Ichigo's main issue, control. His rage is what triggers his near uncontrollable power and everyone knew not to get the kid mad. It was just really difficult when some individuals keep threatening his mother, a Quincy, all the time.
He wore a soul reaper uniform, but much like squad eleven, he ripped off the long sleeves as to shorten them. He did the same to the hakama as it now sat just a little above his knees.
Right now, Ichigo was using his more heightened reflexes to simply dodge Toshiro's strikes and other attacks at the moment. He wasn't allowed to use that golden energy right now, per his father's orders, so this was a little more difficult now than it would've been. From what Ichigo could tell with this Toshiro kid, he seemed to hold his father in high regards. Isshin was very relaxed with the white haired kid moreso than most of the other captains. Toshiro seems unlike most of the other captains when it came to Ichigo. He could understand why the orange haired boy would suddenly flare his energy for his own mother, and in all honesty, any child of his old captain was a good person in the young captains eyes.
"Okay then Ichigo." Toshiro started after Ichigo dodged his ice projectiles. "Now I want you to use a small bit of that energy and continue dodging me. Alright?"
"Okay." Ichigo answered him. Taking a deep breath, Ichigo stood still to focus a small bit of his energy out. At first, nothing happened, and then small wisps of golden energy started to float around the boy. Ichigo opened his eyes at the same time his hair and eyes changed. He took another breath as if to calm himself down since his anger triggers most of his energy. He looked towards Toshiro and nodded to the captain.
Toshiro nodded back and launched another volley of ice projectiles. Ichigo stood still and watched as the ice melted when they were in range of that halo of golden energy around him. Toshiro did this a few more times, getting the same results, before he finally decided to go big.
"Rain over the frosted heavens, Hyorinmaru!" He launched a large ice dragon with red eyes towards the boy and was very surprised when Ichigo suddenly jumped high into the air. "What the hell?"
Toshiro didn't have much time to really react when suddenly and out of nowhere, a small green ball of energy was flying straight at him at incredible speeds. Toshiro dodged the attack, but the resulting explosion knocked him back into a wall, hard. The ground where the ball struck had a small crater big enough for a grown man to stretch out in.
Toshiro looked at the crater then back up to Ichigo, only to see the boy smiling down at him. "Okay. I think that's enough Ichigo." The captain said to him as he sheathed his blade.
Ichigo floated down and landed softly before powering down. "I think I'm getting a lot better at this." Ichigo said to him.
"Yes you are." Toshiro said to him with a smirk. "Come on. Lets get something to eat."
"ALRIGHT!" Ichigo pumped his fist into the air. "Cause man and I hungry."
As the two left the training grounds, they were completely unaware of a certain, brown haired man watching them though a computer screen in a secret lab. He had his arm propped up on the arm of the chair and was watching with great interest.
"Soon Ichigo Kurosaki." He started with a little chuckle. "Very soon indeed."
Done.
PEACE!
