Or, where an innocent soul is taken to hell…and a big brother always takes care of his younger siblings.
Literally just an idea I had.
"I WON'T LET HER BE ALONE!"
"ICHIGO, DON'T!"
"GETSUGA TENSHOOOOOOO!"
Vaggie stared at the girl in front of her, her spear shaking.
She was a resident of hell…meant for extermination.
Then why did she look so…human? So innocent?
Normal skin tone…chestnut brown hair…and shaking brown eyes.
The only thing that was abnormal about her was the chain around her neck.
Scratch that…coming out from just below it.
"P-please…I, I…please…"
Vaggie breathes heavily before dropping her shoulders and turning around.
"Run."
She heard the feet pitter patter away and sighed.
She hears the whoosh of air and barely manages to avoid getting her head cut off.
As it is, she screeches in agony when her eye is torn out and her wings are ripped from her body.
She barely escapes with her life, turning her back on everything she ever knew.
She scrounges about, golden blood trailing down her face and leaving a trail as she grows weak before crashing into another body.
She widens her eye in fear.
If there was ever a personification of hell, it was this demonic figure, wearing some kind of golden armor on top of black robes, pale skin that led to a long sword in his hand and with a mask? His face? Either way, it was bone white with red markings, horns coming out of the sides and pointing straight at her like a bull's.
She was going to die.
"Ichi-nii…wait, she saved me earlier…" A familiar voice calls out and she gasps as she sees the girl from earlier holding on to the monster's other arm.
He turns to her and gives a quick huff but nods.
She's starting to fade and passes out feeling strong yet surprisingly gentle arms pick her up.
Years later
Carmilla glares at the horrified Exorcists, all of them unwilling to believe that one of their own had been struck down.
She knows what she has to do.
There can be no witnesses to this otherwise the repercussions would be dire.
"Well, well, well…looks like the demon scum have managed to pull a few tricks out of their asses."
She chills, feeling the sheer angelic power coming from behind her.
It can only be one person.
'Adam…'
She is going to die here…she can only hope that her daughters managed to escape before this monster bathed in light arrived.
Her hope dies as she sees them injured at his feet, blood pooling around them.
A single blast and she's knocked across the field into a rock outcropping, crashing to her knees.
"Now then…let's get rid of the trash-"
"Oi…"
The angels turn and Carmilla looks up to see a single demon in front of her, sword in hand.
'What is that fool doing?'
"Oh? Another demon? Well come on then, I want to see-"
In a flash Adam is gone, and Carmilla can scarcely believe it.
The demon had grabbed Adam by the face and tossed him across the sky.
"Now then," the demon declares and Carmilla gasps as she sees herself behind him with her daughters next to her.
'When did he?'
Crack.
She sees him crack his neck.
"How about I kick all of your asses back to your home?"
An angel snarls and attacks with their spear.
The demon simply raises his finger and stops it.
That's when Adam joins the fray again, screaming in fury.
Almost nobody knows who did it.
Who the demon that ended the last Extermination was.
All that the citizens of hell knew is that they heard a chilling roar that echoed throughout all the seven rings, and then a red blast of energy, tinged with black, so powerful and so potent that it nearly crushed them.
It pierced through the portal to the heavens and sent all the Exorcists back scrambling in retreat.
All know the title, but few knew the name.
Few knew the truth behind the Heaven Piercer.
Few knew Kurosaki Ichigo.
It has been years since then…and Vaggie feels that she has grown strong.
But more than that, she has felt loved. Part of a family.
"Are you sure…? I can still stay here, continue to serve you and Lady Yuzu," she almost pleads.
But the decision is not hers.
"I am, Vaggie," Ichigo says as he walks forward. "I cannot be the only thing standing between Heaven and Hell…if there is truly a path available for redemption, then I wish to see if it is possible…"
Ichigo trails off and Vaggie sighs.
"You're trying to free her soul again…aren't you?"
Ichigo closes his eyes and nods.
"She…never deserved to be here…"
"I know," Vaggie replies.
It was the height of unfairness, that such a pure soul such as Yuzu's should be in this pit due to the actions of other sinners.
"Princess Morningstar's idea has merit…if there is evidence that a damned soul can be redeemed, I will encourage Yuzu to attend the hotel."
"There's no guarantee though…"
"No, but if the Princess of Hell wishes to try…why not support her? At this point, I have nothing to lose. And we are nearing the halfway point for another Extermination," Ichigo said as they walked through the door.
"But why send me?"
"The Princess is…well meaning but naive, and there are those who would see this project fail, if only to sate their own desires for cruelty, I am charging you to protect it while building a rapport with the Princess…in turn, we will provide some monetary support to…spruce up the hotel."
Vaggie snorted.
"It was looking kind of raggedy."
"The king seems to have left his daughter to her own devices for her quest, whether that speaks of trust in her capabilities or scorn of her desires is…yet to be seen."
Vaggie paused and blinked before chuckling.
"What?" Ichigo asked.
"Always the hero, huh?" Vaggie teased. "Saw her about to cry in frustration from being mocked on TV and you're already swooping to the rescue."
Ichigo rolled his eyes and kept moving forward.
"Very funny."
Vaggie chuckled a bit more before sighing sadly.
"I'll miss you guys…especially Yuzu's cooking."
"It's Yuzu, everyone misses her cooking."
"Except for you," Vaggie riposted.
"Of course."
They stop at the limo (hell did have some influence on him, sue him, he liked nice things) and he opens the door for her before handing her a suitcase.
She drops the suitcase into the limo before turning and bowing deeply to her closest friend.
Her sensei.
Her brother.
"Until we meet again, Lord Kurosaki."
Ichigo sighs, not fond of the formalities but bows his head in return for appearances.
"Until we meet again, Vagatha."
Alastor has a raised brow accentuated with his everlasting smile.
Velvette is being quite unruly but alas, that is how it was with these new overlords.
All pomp and no respect at all.
Though he is reflecting on other news.
It was quite ironically, a miracle.
Another Hellborne soul, the last being dear Charlie…
"And you've got quite some nerve, ordering us around like you own the place when you're carrying around some brat after spread-"
Velvette chokes.
All of them tense at the sudden oppressive aura that tears across the room though none more so than Velvette who actually collapses to the ground onto her hands and knees, barely able to breathe, unable to even raise her head as she is forced to mimic supplication, falling to her forearms as her head touches the ground.
As if she was bowing for forgiveness.
A black portal tears itself into space and Alastor shivers.
He knew this man.
This demon.
The one being he ever truly feared.
The Heaven Piercer.
Kurosaki Ichigo.
"You would do well not to insult my wife and unborn son, child." he says as he stalks forward, a menacing black aura around him but his gaze was focused on the kneeling overlord. "Lest you are reminded of your place."
The aura recedes and Velvette takes in huge gulps of air as she trembles in a combination of fear and fury.
"My…apologies…Lady Kurosaki…" Velvette whispers with a sneer before moving back to her seat.
Carmilla huffs and rolls her eyes at her husband's overprotectiveness but her daughters are excited to see him again.
"Otou-sama!" They say in unison and bow.
It was admittedly something that they practiced a lot to get right.
She catches the small twitch in his eye and smirks.
'All this time and still unused to the formality, huh?'
"Alastor."
Alastor freezes.
"It's been quite some time."
"Alastor chuckles to hide the nervousness, "Yes well! I had quite a few things to take care of, but no worries! I'll be around more from now on."
"Good," Ichigo says with an unassuming smile. "Yuzu has missed your presence, oddly enough. You should come over for dinner one day."
Alastor lets himself relax.
At least he was still on Yuzu's good side.
That was the best way to avoid evisceration.
"She's been worried, you know?"
"Well perish the thought that she worries then! I'll make sure to clear my schedule," Alastor assures.
"I'm glad. She's also been very excited to hear about your work with the Hazbin Hotel…why, she's going to visit there next week."
Alastor blinks.
'! %# !'
The entire crew blinked in unison as they saw Alastor scurrying about, ensuring that the hotel was in tip top shape.
"Alastor…what's going on?" Charlie asked.
"No time to dilly-dally! We have a very important guest coming to visit the hotel!" Alastor said almost frantically.
"Uh…who?" Angel asked.
Alastor paused before turning to face them.
"Oh dear, I seem to have forgotten to tell you. Why, Ms. Yuzu of course!"
Both Vaggie and Husk blinked in unison.
"YES!/CRAP!"
Everyone turned to Husk in confusion…it was an oddly…benign curse for him to say.
Husk blushed in embarrassment but he didn't want to hear Lady Yuzu's lecture on proper language again…it always made him feel bad.
'I gotta move!'
Vaggie immediately began to vibrate in excitement.
'I get to eat Lady Yuzu's cooking again!'
'I got to hide all of my booze again!'
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene before them.
Alastor, who usually hated being touched, was now gently…well it wasn't exactly purring but it was some cross between soft static and a rumbling noise as the kind lady (seriously, what did she do to deserve going to hell?) brushed her fingers through his hair, practically petting him.
"It's so cute…" Charlie whispered.
…
"If any of you say a word after this I will-"
Smack.
Yuzu softly smacked his head.
"Alastor, be nice!" Yuzu chided.
Alastor could only grumble.
Vaggie pointed her spear towards her former comrades, all of them glaring at her as she defended the demons of the hotel.
Lute especially with her weapon in hand.
"And what? Do you plan to do now?"
Vaggie closed her eyes.
"I will protect them, as I was charged to do."
She placed the spear closer to her before closing her eyes as a cold and bright aura began to erupt from her.
"Spare, Misericordia."
"I'M GOING TO KILL-URK!" Adam chokes as Ichigo grabs his throat.
"You threaten my sister. My daughters. My wife and just born child when they're at their most vulnerable." Ichigo snarls as his eyes turn black and gold.
"Allow me to show you Adam," he spits the name out like a curse. "Why I am not a demon."
Adam finally shivers in fear.
"I am Hollow."
Literally been stuck in my brain for the last day ever since I saw the ending of Hazbin Hotel and was reminded of Bleach Hell Verse.
Basic premise is that Ichigo broke hell when it tried to take Yuzu away and he and Yuzu got sent to an alternate universe's hell thanks to the combined energies.
Y'all can imagine however the hell Ichigo and Carmilla got together, just know that it is a very wholesome relationship (even if he's overprotective as usual) and that he treats his stepdaughters to trips to Loo Loo Land and the occasional trip to the Living World.
They call him Otou-sama as a sign of respect and also as a joke cause he can't stand the nobility crap.
Everyone is afraid of Yuzu, well, not afraid of her, but afraid of making her disappointed at you.
It's not a nice feeling.
