Hello there everyone how's it going?

I'm sorry for ignoring this story for 2 years, my bad.

Now after getting other stories updated, here's the new chapter.

Enjoy

I don't own any of this.

Chapter 6: a family enveloped by a shadow of darkness part 6

Ichigo was moving fast on Crimson his steed with Silver behind them keeping pace and Red eyes following them.

"We got to get to where the dragon is so we can free it." Ichigo panted. "But where is it being kept captive?"

Just then they heard another roar, one of pain and Crimson's ears heard it and he nudged right.

"So it's Northeast? Very well head that way." Ichigo commanded.

The 4 then turned and headed Northeast to the source of the roar and hopefully rescue the dragon in time.

"I just hope we're not too late." He thought.

Following behind Ichigo on horseback was Kisuke armed with some weapons and went after Ichigo, hoping to catch up and bring him back, because if something happens to him, Masaki and Isshin are going to tear Kisuke a new one painfully.

"It's a good thing I went after them early on." He said. "Good thing I know a thing or two of tracking and judging by the sudden change in wind, they headed northeast I better get to them before hell breaks loose." He said to himself.

He gave his horse a nudge and he sped up and they headed to where Ichigo was heading.

'I hope I'm not too late.' Kisuke thought.

About 13 miles ahead Ichigo and his pets managed to arrive at where the roar came from and hid in some bushes and trees and peered out and remained quiet as to not alert anyone to their presences and what Ichigo saw made his blood boil with anger.

In front of them a few yards away was a hunting camp and there was some soldiers, hunters and some vampires enjoying their meals and there were some cages some contains captured dragons and even some people from villages they destroyed to be used as offerings, slaves and other dark stuff for evil vampires even being used as food.

If Ichigo wasn't pissed off already, he was furious as hell, so much so he had to suppress his growl of anger towards them to not alert as he learned from his parents Vampires have good hearing.

'I wish there was a way to take them out without the vampires knowing I'm here.' Ichigo thought.

"We can help you out with that young one."

"Who's there?" Ichigo whispered to no one in particular.

Just then Ichigo felt his mind being taken to some place else and then silent as he fell to the ground next to his animal friends with his eyes closed.

(Inside Ichigo's mind)

"Where am I?" said Ichigo as his voice echoed through the void. "Am I dead?"

"No young one you are not we heard your call and we brought you here." Said a deep voice.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" shouted Ichigo.

Just then a sphere of light appeared in front of Ichigo, then the sphere started taking form and shape and then becoming a person that Ichigo saw when he was younger when he up against the demon bear.

"You?!" he said in shock.

"Yeah it's me Ichigo, my name is Takashi Muto aka the Flame Swords man." He introduced.

"It's you I helped you fight the demon bear but you lost your life." Ichigo said feeling a bit down casted.

"Ichigo don't feel so down, I knew the risks and well I was getting on in years and well I have been at it for nearly 100 years and well my time has come, but before I passed I use a spell to transfer not only my powers but also 2 friends that were bound to me and they are bound to you now." Said Takashi.

"You transfer your friends and your powers to me?" Ichigo said surprised.

"Yes because I sense there was great potential within you and with guidance and training you can unlock them and your own powers that have begun to awaken." Takashi continued.

"So I will get stronger?" Ichigo asked.

"Yes strong enough to defeat even the strongest foes, even the likes of Carmilla and Dracula and perhaps even some of the toughest monsters." Takashi went on.

Ichigo's eyes widen as he continue to listen.

"Now then you will learn to use these powers slowly in order to control and use them when you can but right now have full access to the powers is dangerous and it can and will kill you." Takashi warned.

Ichigo nodded.

"However, I will unlock a portion of our powers to help out in this task and after that you will train to master them along with your powers and it will not be easy, do you understand?" asked Takashi.

"I do, I understand." Ichigo responded.

"Very well then, my friends and I will give you a small portion of our powers and don't worry you'll see them soon in 3 years, now then Ichigo Kurosaki are you ready?" Takashi asked in a loud voice.

"Yes I am." Said Ichigo with confidence in his voice.

"Very Well." Said Takashi. "Here's a portion of our powers soon to be yours."

He held his hand out and 3 colored spheres appeared, one red-orange, one yellow and one dark purple and they floated from his hand into Ichigo and he can feel the power slowly awakening within him and suddenly he started glowing as he was being sent back to the real world.

"Good luck Ichigo." Takashi said and then he vanished.

(Back in the real world)

Ichigo's eyes shot opened as he was back in his body and breathe in and out as he sat up.

"Holy shit that was intense." He whispered.

His pets saw he was ok, but they noticed he was putting his hood on and sensed something different from him.

"You 3 stay here, I'll whistle if I need help." Ichigo said in a low voice.

Silver, Crimson and Red nodded.

Ichigo then put his hood on and slowly got up and took a deep breath as he felt a power within him stirring, a dark power came and Ichigo quietly turned invisible.

'Now to take out some vampires.' He thought.

Ichigo carefully drew his sword and carefully got behind a vampire who was already full of blood and was being a bit careless and has his guard down and quickly and quietly stabbed the vampire through the back and killed him, pulled his sword out and let the body dropped down and then turned to dust.

"Now for the others." Whispered Ichigo.

And one by one Ichigo stealthily took out some of the vampires that would give him trouble if he was discovered, even use a dagger to kill them as well, then he hid behind some barrels that was near some cages containing villagers from their raids to be use as food, turning them into more vampires and other evil things.

He saw some guards at the cages doors, so sneaking won't work even if he was invisible, so Ichigo had to use his bow and arrow and he had to make his shots count cause his invisibility was wearing off.

So he took a small pot off of him, opened it and carefully dipped 4 arrow tips with poison and then drew his arrow.

Then he fired 4 shots at their necks and taking out 2 of them, but the last 2 caught their arrows but they were killed by Ichigo who ran up to them and cut their heads off as his invisibility wear off.

"Damn it." Ichigo cursed.

But he was relieved he didn't alert anyone else.

"Help us."

Ichigo turned to see some of the villagers at the cage looking at him, like some kind of missionary warrior from the heavens and one young boy came up to him, he was about 10 and he had dark green hair and eyes and freckles on his face.

"Are you here to rescue us?" he asked in a scared voice.

Ichigo went over to the boy and kneel on his knee.

"Yes I am and rescuing the dragons they captured." Ichigo told him.

The young boy for the first time let out a small smile of hope.

"Now listen carefully I want you all to get back and close your eyes and cover your ears, I'll let you know when it's safe." Ichigo said.

Everyone nodded and went to the back of the cage and closed their eyes and cover their ears.

Ichigo then took 2 steps back and pulled his hood off as he was being surrounded by some vampires and their human allies with their weapons drawn.

Ichigo felt their evil auras and something within him took over and put his bow away and drew his sword and his eyes glowed white.

Then he whistled calling Sliver, Crimson and Red over to him and Ichigo whisper to Red to get on the cage out of the way.

Sliver sensed something within Ichigo and felt his own instincts awakening as well and started to get angry and feral as his eyes glowed.

Crimson's eyes glowed red as the fire gathered around his wings and hooves and snorted some out his nose.

Then Ichigo spoke in a deep voice that oozes power that made the enemies shake.

"You damn fools, made the biggest mistake ever of your unlives and now time to send you all to hell!"

Ichigo's eyes opened and instead of brown they were black with yellow irises.

Ichigo, Crimson and Sliver charged toward their foes and the fighting begins.

For the next 30 minutes, the villagers kept their eyes closed and ears covered as they could as Ichigo, Sliver and Crimson were stomping, breathe fire, biting, clawing stabbing and slashing their enemies respectively following, grunting, growling, snarling, hissing and screaming.

It kept going like that until the last vampire was down and Ichigo has his blade pointing at the vampire's throat.

"This is for the live you ruined." He said a shrill raspy voice.

With one thrust of his sword Ichigo stabbed the vampire's throat and then cut his head off killing him.

Then Ichigo dropped his sword as he felt his head filled with pain as if his own powers went back for now.

When he opened his eyes they were brown again and looked around and saw that all of the vampires and their men were dead and Sliver and Crimson were finished killing the last one and saw that Ichigo was back to normal and they calmed down and went over to him, Red sensed Ichigo was back to normal went down to him.

Ichigo looked around and saw the dead bodies and try to remember what happened but only blurs appeared in his mind.

"What happened?" he said to himself.

Then he remembered about the villagers and went back to the cages after picking up his sword, he rummage through the dead vampires bodies and found the keys to the cages.

He opened the door to the villagers and tapped them on the shoulders and they opened their eyes and uncovered their ears, Ichigo told them that the vampires and their soldiers are dead they will not harm them ever again.

The villagers breathe a sigh of relief.

"I know that your lives got messed up by these evil creatures of darkness, but if you want, you can come with me and bring the dragons along to somewhere you all will be safe." Said Ichigo.

The villagers were hesitant but they knew they need to find someplace safe.

"So listen carefully gather many things as you can, weapons, food, maps, any thing you can get and put them in cover wagons and get some horses we're getting the hell out of here." Said Ichigo.

The villagers nodded and went to gather things and find some wagons and horses, Ichigo then went to the other cage and freed the dragons there, they stormed out of there and stood in front of Ichigo, there were about 7 dragons, some were big and green, some were red and there was one that dark purple.

Just then Ichigo felt a tug on his cape and turned to see the green haired boy he saved.

"Thank you." He said.

"Hey it's no problem." Ichigo told him. "So what's your name?"

"I'm Izuku Midoriya." Said the boy.

"Well Izuku let's help everyone get packing there is a place I'm staying where you and everyone will be safe and can live there." Said Ichigo.

That made Izuku a bit happy.

"Now come help gather some stuff, we need to get going soon." Ichigo told him.

Izuku nodded and went back to help.

"Something tells me that Kisuke's place will be a bit more populated." Ichigo said to himself.

Soon Kisuke arrived and saw that the vampire hunting camp was destroyed, tents burned down, cages wrecked and no vampires around, but there was a lot of blood.

Just then he heard some footsteps, wheels turning and looked to see Ichigo with his pets and there was some villagers in wagons with some stuff and dragons behind them and he was shocked.

"Hey Kisuke let's head back I'll explain on the way." Said Ichigo.

Kisuke regain his focus and nodded, he got his horse to turned around and started heading with Ichigo and the freed villagers and dragons behind him.

"Looks like things are going to be a bit more interesting in more ways than one." Kisuke said to himself.

And he would be right.

(To be continued next month)

Ok that ends this 2 years overdue chapter.

I'm so sorry it took so long but a lot of things got in the way, including real life stuff.

Now to go over some stuff.

The person that Ichigo helped when fighting the demon bear was the flame swordsman I gave him a name to make him a bit unique and he'll be around helping Ichigo controlling the powers he has and that will be explained more on in later chapters.

Also if you're wondering about Hollow Ichigo, he only pops out when there is a lot of malevolent aura around and when Ichigo regains his senses he remembers only blurred memories and yes he will control his hollow powers as well.

Now then the next chapter will have a small time skip about 5 months ahead.

And in case you are wondering yes I am bringing in some characters from MHA but I haven't decided what to do with them yet. So don't ask me about it.

Also I've decided to make this story into a volume series with this one being vol1 and it will have probably about roughly 25 chapters give or take.

Also Ichigo was given a portion of the powers that Takashi the flame swordsman, so in time he will learn to master them all.

Another thing Ichigo will not be OP in vol 1 maybe in vol3? But no promises.

Also and this goes to all of my stories, if you see the summaries has '(on hold)' it means like the words said, the story is on hold until I upload a new chapter or I say it isn't on hold, so until then please don't ask me to update the stories as I have other things and life to do so please be more patient.

Now as stated the next chapter will be out next month.

Now then if you all excuse me, I have 3 other chapters to finish before Halloween.

So read and review

No rude insults and no rude reviews.

Until next time in Nov.

This is Wolfdrake29 retreating into the night.

Later and stay safe.

Bye.
