Chapter 4: a family enveloped by a shadow of darkness part 4


Ichigo and Silver headed deep in the woods to the sound of where that scream came from.

"Come on Silver move faster." Said Ichigo.

Sliver put on the speed and kept up with his owner.

They went deeper to the woods until Ichigo stopped and order Silver to do the same as he hid in some bushes, he peeked and saw something that made his blood boil with rage.

Across from where Ichigo was at, there were some more corrupted members of the church armed with knives and short swords and they surrounded a girl.

The girl was about 12 and she has dark burgundy hair. Her hair is mostly chin-length with the addition of elbow-length bangs that frame both sides of her face, she has a hair curler on the top of her head, she has brown eyes, fair skin and she was wearing some red and white clothing with a brown cloak and around her neck was an emerald crested, golden cross-shaped medallion.

"Well boys we managed to find the black rose witch." Said the leader.

"Yes it's time to rid the world of the witch." Said another.

The girl was scared and closed her eyes, Ichigo couldn't keep his anger in line anymore so he got his bow and drew another poison arrow and fired, he drew another one and fired again.

The arrows flew and hit two of them on and the poison arrows did their jobs and soon two of the group dropped dead.

"What the hell?" said the leader taking notice.

"Bulls eye." Said Ichigo. "Okay Silver time for the wolf to play."

Silver's eyes glowed and let out a menacingly growl that made the thugs a bit nervous.

"Go on fools find that whoever is there and kill them!" said the leader.

3 of them went into the bushes trying to find who's there and went deeper only to meet a horrific demise.

There were sounds of blades clashing, slashing, slicing, snarling, biting, flesh being ripped off and screaming, that made the leader nervous and starting to sweat.

After a few minutes passed the noises stopped and things got quiet again and the lead thug was now sweating and nervous.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" said the leader.

But no reply came except a throwing knife and it got the leader's wrist making him drop his sword.

"AH!" he screamed in pain clutching his wrist.

"NOW SILVER KILL!" said Ichigo.

Just then a white blur came from the bushes at a fast speed and tackled the leader into the bushes and started ripping the leader to pieces.

"NO, STOP IT, NOT THAT NOOOOOOOO, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the leader screamed in pain as he was being killed.

The girl had covered her ears to block the sounds of killing and when the screaming stopped everything was quiet.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and uncovered her ears and saw that the crooked members of the church were gone.

Just then Sliver came out of some bushes with blood dripping from his mouth and looked at the girl and growled making her scared.

"Please someone help me." She whispered as Sliver growled even louder.

"That's enough Silver it's over relax."

Silver stop and his eyes stopped glowing and calmed down and sit.

The girl was surprised that the wolf obeyed someone but where did it come from?

Just then a figure wearing a brown cloak and holding a blood cover short sword approach the girl slowly.

The girl got scared and assumed the worst but when she saw dropping the sword and pulling back the hood, she can see he has orange hair and brown eyes and wears a mask that covers half of his face.

"Hey are you ok?" he asked in a strong and gentle voice.

The girl looked in his eyes and can see power in them but also a strong but kind spirit in them as well.

The girl slowly got up and then ran up and hugged her savior.

She let tears flow out of her as she felt her emotions break through.

Ichigo wrapped his arms around her and slowly rubbed her back and said soothing words to help ease her mind.

"Did you get rid of them?" she asked after finding her voice.

"Yes I did me and my wolf have taken them out, they won't come after you anymore." He said.

"Your wolf?" she asked.

"Yes my wolf Silver." Said Ichigo. "Oh what is your name?" he asked.

"My name is Akiza Izinski." She said. "Who are you?"

"I'm Ichigo Kurosaki." He introduced.

"Well thank you Ichigo." She said.

"Hey not a problem." Said Ichigo.

Akiza felt safe in Ichigo's arms and he wasn't afraid of her and he saved her from those evil men.

"But I do have one question why did they call you the black rose witch?" he asked.

Akiza then felt sad and she looked at him.

"It's because I come from a family that practice magic and they call me a witch and a monster." She said sadly.

"Where are your parents?" asked Ichigo.

"We got separated during an attack by those vile men and we had to escape and promised to meet up in 4 years." She said.

Anger stirred in Ichigo's heart and Silver sensed it and growled angrily as well.

"Do you know what I see here?" said Ichigo.

"What?" ask Akiza.

"I don't see a witch but a lovely beautiful princess whose name is like the sweetest rose." Said Ichigo.

That made Akiza blushed and Ichigo blushed when he said that so he scratched the back of his head.

"Thank you Ichigo." She said.

"No problem." He said.

"Now let's get going after I collect my stuff." Said Ichigo.

Ichigo then release Akiza and went to collect his sword, after cleaning it up and sheathing the blade, Ichigo then went to collect some stuff from the thugs, their money and some information they had on their persons.

Ichigo then went to the leader and got his share.

"Ok then let's head back to my home." Said Ichigo. "Come on Silver."

Silver followed Ichigo and Akiza back home.

Akiza was surprised that Silver obeyed Ichigo and Ichigo told her the story that happened 3 years ago and she felt sorry for Silver and now understood his past and she even pet him making him happy.

When they got home Ichigo clean Silver's mouth and they went in the house.

"Ichigo you're home!"

Just then Yuzu came running to her brother while Karin walked up to them.

"Hey you two." Said Ichigo as Yuzu hugged him and Karin looked at them.

"So Ichigo what you been doing?" asked Karin.

"Not much." He said.

"Well care to explain why you brought your new girlfriend home?" she teased.

That made Ichigo turn red with embarrassment and made Akiza giggled.

"Silver give Karin a kiss." Said Ichigo.

Silver then tackled Karin to the floor and started licking her face.

"Oh come on Silver down boy." Said Karin as Silver licked her.

Ichigo, Akiza and Yuzu chuckled at that.

Ichigo then told Silver that's enough and he backed off and then Ichigo took the bandana off.

"Where's Mom and Dad?" he asked his sisters.

"In the other room." Said Yuzu.

Ichigo then head for the other room with Akiza following him.

In the other room Isshin and Masaki were talking with Kisuke and Yoruichi about training Ichigo When the door was opened up.

"Ichigo." Said Isshin looking at his son.

"Hey mom, dad." He said walking up to them with Akiza.

"So Ichigo who's your new girlfriend?" his dad teased.

Ichigo went red in the face with anger and embarrassment and Akiza smile.

"Ok that's it! It's ass kicking time." Said Ichigo. "Silver get him!"

Silver then proceed to chase Isshin around the house as he yelled "Not again!"

Everyone chuckled at the sight as Isshin being chased by a wolf.

Just then they felt a strong presence coming from the egg, it was shaking and cracking and it meant one thing, it was Hatching!

The egg shook more and more until something came out of it.

It was a small dark purple/black dragon with sharp claws, a tail, small wings, small horns on the back of its head, a beak-like mouth and red eyes.

"It's a baby dragon." Said Akiza.

Ichigo then walked up to the dragon and gently picked him up.

"Hey there little guy." Said Ichigo.

Akiza walked over to see the dragon.

"Aw he's so cute." She cooed.

The dragon looked at Ichigo and Akiza and smiled and called Ichigo and Akiza "mama and dada."

That made them blushed profusely Masaki smiled and Yoruichi grinned and Kisuke chuckled at that.

"Oh god." Said Ichigo.

Now raising a dragon will be a different challenge.


So over the next few months things have changed for Ichigo and his family, first the dragon who is name Red eyes for reason was he was part of a species known as the red eyes black dragons very powerful dragons but they were hunted and some were killed and their eggs were taken by hunters but some are still out there but they went to places no one will find them.

But finding them were rare and Ichigo was the lucky one, he fed it some meat and coal but not at the same time.

Akiza managed to settled in well with Ichigo's family, she got along fine with Karin and Yuzu, learn to control her powers with Masaki and even help Ichigo when his dad acts like a dumbass from time to time by blasting him with magic, but she kept her powers secret when she goes out to town to get food and supplies.

Over time Akiza saw Ichigo fights and protects those who would get abused by the hands of evil and slowly she fell in love with him but she won't be the only one that loves Ichigo.

About 4 months later after coming back from hunting Ichigo, Isshin were heading to town to sell their hunt when they encounter 3 people on the way.

Isshin was about to attack when one of them took their hoods off revealing a woman that has blue skin, yellow eyes and long red hair.

Ichigo can see that they need help so he ask Isshin to let them stay with them for a while something tells him that they're not welcomed by anyone.

Isshin sighed and told them to get on and they headed off.

After getting some money they returned home and introduced the family to the new guests.

The woman is Raven Wagner or Mystique and she is different from people and she has the power to change into anyone and next to her is her son.

Then 2nd figure pull back his hood to reveal a 12 year old boy who has blue skin, a prehensile tail, dark blue hair, yellow eyes, 3 fingers on each hand and 2 toes on the feet.

"This is Kurt Wagner my son." Said Mystique.

"Hallo." He said.

"I take you must be from Bavaria." Said Ichigo and Kurt nodded.

The 3rd person removed his hood to reveal a man who looks in his 30's with dark metallic blue hair with sideburns and a look of a feral beast.

"The name's Logan." He said in a gruff voice.

It was a bit awkward for having 3 more people living with but they got use to it and things proceeded as usual.

That is until Ichigo turn 13.

On his 13th birthday Ichigo had a good party with his family and new friends, he was giving many gifts but he got some really interesting ones like a stallion call Fire wing Pegasus from Rias and Akeno with a note saying thanks and see you soon handsome that Ichigo blush and his dad chuckled which resulted in getting hit with a chair from Ichigo.

Next was a pedant from his mother and inside was a painted portrait of his family.

Next is a gift from his dad it was a special sword that made for him and waited for the right time it was a sword that has a black blade, the cross guard has four prongs bent out to form the shape of the manji it has a short length of chain with a broken link at the end dangles from the base of the hilt.

"The name of this sword is Tensa Zangetsu and it's meant for you Ichigo." Said Isshin.

"Thanks dad." Said Ichigo.

Of course Akiza got Ichigo a pair of silver gauntlets for him and he said thanks which resulted getting a kiss on the lips from her.

Ichigo got a lot more stuff from the others and after he went to his room to put them away, his dad appeared in the door way.

"Ichigo we need to talk." He said.

Isshin explained to Ichigo that there are dark times coming and soon darkness will rise and also war be upon them and that He'll need to be strong and stop this evil from enveloping the world into darkness.

He also told him that he needs to go with Kisuke and Yoruichi to train and become stronger and that'll take about 3 years to do.

Ichigo did yell at his dad for saying something like that but Isshin said that it's his choice.

Ichigo calmed down but he was still pissed off.

"Please Ichigo listen."

This time it was his mother that came in.

"Listen I know you don't want to leave us, but listen to me, my enemies are seeking for a power that will turn the tide of the balance and we need you to be strong enough to defend everyone, the journey won't be easy, but I know that you will prevail." Said Masaki.

Ichigo thought of what his mother said and realize that she was right, if a great evil is coming then he must be prepared.

"When do I leave?" asked Ichigo making his choice.

"In one month." Said Isshin.

Ichigo hugged his parents and they hugged him back, a small tear escaped Ichigo's eye knowing everything is going to change.


One month later


Ichigo was with his family as he got his things along with Silver, fire wing Pegasus who he named Crimson and red eyes since he didn't want to be separated from his dad so he came with him.

Ichigo was on the horse as he was saying goodbye to his sisters Yuzu was crying and didn't want Ichigo to go but Karin pulled her back and told Ichigo to come back or else.

Ichigo ask Logan and Mystique to protect his family and they will and so will Kurt.

"Good luck Ichigo." Said Isshin.

"Please come home soon son." Said Masaki.

"I will." He said.

Akiza didn't want Ichigo to go but he needs her to protect his family and so they had one last kiss before Ichigo got Crimson to walk over to where Yoruichi and Kisuke were.

"You're such a smooth talker Ichigo." Teased Kisuke.

PUNCH!

Ichigo punched Kisuke in the face for that.

"Shut up." Said Ichigo.

"Time to get going Ichigo." Said Yoruichi.

Yoruichi and Kisuke then gathered some energy and then a big portal opened underneath them and they vanished in an instant.

They soon arrived in Japan at their base and there was sound of others training in the distance.

"Come on Ichigo let's go." Said Kisuke.

Ichigo, Crimson, Silver and Red eyes follow them through the gates to begin their training and it's going to be a long and painful one.

By the time 3 years passed Ichigo will be stronger and he'll be a bane on those who side with evil.


Meanwhile in Styria


Carmilla was in her chambers thinking of plans of getting the power Masaki had when some of her men came in reporting of villagers trying to overthrow them again and got killed as usual.

Carmilla sighed as her other fellow vampires were busy elsewhere she was thinking of getting the power she wants when an idea came to her.

She ordered one of her men to gather a group of soldiers and tell them to get ready to leave in 2 hours cause they're heading for Romania and getting that power one way or another.

"Soon that power will be mine and then the world will tremble at the name of Carmilla of Styria!" she said.

The winds howl outside the castle as the powers of evil were carried on the winds and that things will be heading towards darkness and chaos.

Ichigo will have to be ready cause when the day comes all manners of hell will break loose.
