Chapter 4: Aizen's Plan

Back in Karakura Town, the Kurosaki's were taking a break from hunting down Grand Fisher. It had been three whole months since both Isshin and Masaki got their powers back, and those three months were either used for training or hunting. Even with Kisuke's help, finding the hollow that ruined their lives was close to impossible. Throughout the three months, Kisuke would get a hollow signature that resembled Grand Fisher, but when the Kurosaki's would get there at top speed, there was usually nothing there.

"Hey dad." Yuzu started as she hunched over to catch her breath. "We've been looking for five hours straight now and it's starting to get dark."

"I know." Isshin said while hanging his head down.

"After school tomorrow and after you two finish your homework, we'll go and search again." Masaki said to her two children.

"Okay." Karin and Yuzu said to her.

They were making their way back to their home, until they felt a strange spiritual pressure not far from them. They stopped and looked out in the direction of the pressure and Masaki froze. It was the river.

"Mom?" Karin asked as she saw how Masaki was staring out to the river, memories of when Ichigo died flooding her mind like a plague.

"Masaki?" Isshin started as he placed a hand on her shoulder.

She reacted and looked back to her husband with tears swelling in her eyes. Isshin brought her into a warm hug and felt her calm down. Even after all this time, it was still a terrible thing to experience your own child's death.

"It's okay." Isshin said in a comforting tone. "You're okay."

It took some time, but soon after Masaki calmed down and wiped the tears from her eyes. She hated doing this in front of her children, but knew that they understood. After a brief silence and a few deep breaths, Masaki was ready to go. The four went to where the pressure was being released from and soon made it to the river. There was a brief flash of light that shined in front of them for an instant. They prepared themselves and looked around. They soon found the culprit for the sudden release of energy and they all had different reactions. Isshin was angry, Yuzu was determined to avenge her brother, Kari was eager to stop this monster, and Masaki was filled with rage. Standing in front of them was the hollow they were searching for, Grand Fisher.

"I hear that all of you were lookin for me." The hollow said in a sinister tone. "Well, here I am."

"I'm going to make you pay for what you did to my son!" Masaki yelled as she fired an arrow at high speeds.

Grand Fisher leapt out of the way and landed not far from where her arrow was aimed for. When he landed, he was immediately bombarded by Yuzu and Isshin's swings and jabs. He was using his fur to defend himself, but still suffered a few cuts from the twos amazing fury. When he dodged a jab from Isshin, he was about to attack Yuzu who had missed her attack against him. When he was only inches away from her, two arrows struck him on his side. He flew back from the force of the attacks and slowly picked himself up only to hear this.

"Yuzu now!" Isshin yelled to his daughter as they both brought their zanpakuto up.

Isshin's Engetsu started glowing blue with a white outline while Yuzu's Zangetsu glowed yellow with white. They brought them down while shouting as loud as they could. "GETSUGA TENSHO!"

A wave of blue and yellow spirit energy rushed straight to the hollow and hit him directly in his body. Masaki and Karin joined the two and they all walked over to the dust as it started to subside. Masaki walked in front and saw the hollow barely together as he was cut completely in half yet somehow still alive. Masaki brought out her bow and aimed it right at Grand Fisher's mask.

"This is for Ichigo you monster." She said as she pulled back, but before she could release, Grand Fisher started to chuckle weakly. "What's so funny?"

Grand Fisher stopped chuckling for a moment and looked straight at Masaki. "This." Suddenly, a crying child could be heard from behind the four. They turned around and were completely stunned by who they saw standing there, crying into his hands. It was Ichigo from that night.

Masaki stammered as she completely lost her sense of balance and stared wide eyed at her lost son. "I-I-Ichigo?" Was all she could say before the boy looked up to them to reveal his pale face and yellow eyes. His hair changed to white as did his skin. The Kurosaki's were shocked at what they wee seeing. A mask started to form on his head and right before it almost covered his entire face, he whispered to his mother.

"Why didn't you save me, mom?"

Masaki couldn't bear it any longer and broke down. Isshin was also at a loss for words as he saw his son disappear from sight. Yuzu and Karin had no idea what just happened, and couldn't express those thoughts in coherent sentences.

"You're a group of fools." They turned to see Grand Fisher standing far off completely healed. "You fell for the oldest trick in the book." He flicked his finger to leave, but instead of a garganta like every other hollow, he opened a senkaimon. This shocked the hell out of Isshin and Masaki while surprising Yuzu and Karin. A hollow opening a senkaimon to the soul society? Impossible. "If you want your revenge, come and get it." Grand Fisher said as he looked straight at Masaki. He leapt into the Senkaimon and the gates closed before any of the Kurosaki's could regain themselves.

"He-" Masaki started in a panicked tone. "He tricked us."

Dangai

As Grand Fisher landed in the Dangai, he immediately changed to Sosuke Aizen. He had a smirk on his face as he sheathed his zanpakuto and walked back to the soul society.

"That should give them a reason to come here." He said in his arrogant tone of voice. "Now, time to introduce myself to the boy. If I can find him now."

Hueco Mundo

Ichigo was sitting outside of the cave and looking out into the endless sands. He looked up and sprouted his large wings. He flew up at normal speed and floated in the air with his legs crossed. He held his legs with his hands so they wouldn't come undone, and he just floated there looking out in the distance. He decided to fly a little higher to get a better look of everything and was surprised when he could see the horizon of Hueco Mundo curve.

"Must be high enough to see everything huh, Orenji?"Ichigo asked his orange dragon.

"I think so." Orenji said in an unsure tone. "I don't think anyone has ever really seen all of Hueco Mundo before. Awesome to know we're the first in a sense, eh Ichigo."

Ichigo chuckled lightly under his breath. "Yeah I guess so."

"You good Ichigo?" Orenji asked.

"Yeah yeah. Just..." Ichigo thought for a second then sighed. "I miss my family."

Orenji sighed as well and remembered why Ichigo never left to see them. They wouldn't believe that he was still Ichigo and not just some hollow using his name to mess with people.

"I just wish I could see them again without this stupid mask in my way." Ichigo said as he floated there.

Orenji sighed and was about to say something, until an explosion caught there attention. Ichigo sighed and payed it no attention until he felt a soul reapers spirit energy. Fearing the soul reaper, Ichigo rushed over at half his speed which greatly exceeded anything else in Hueco Mundo. Ichigo landed in the sands to spot a crater with a man with glasses standing in the center. Next to him was a group of adjucha that were all cut down but still alive. Ichigo knelt down and examined the soul reaper. He was wearing the same captains uniform as the four he saw five years ago. This made Ichigo tense up a bit before the soul reaper looked up and was surprised.

"Well then." He started with the same surprised look. "Finding you was a lot easier than even I thought." He sheathed his zanpakuto and motioned to Ichigo. "Come on down. I'm not here to fight, I just want to talk to you Ichigo."

Ichigo wasn't surprised that the captain knew his name. Ever since what Ichigo did five years ago, outrunning and outsmarting that bloodthirsty captain, his name was known around several hundred adjucha and a handful of Vasto Lorde. He also knew the soul society probably spread his name among their captains.

Against his better judgement, Ichigo sonidoed down to the captain, surprising him with his speed. "Incredible." The captain started with his jaw dropped.

"Um, why are here mister?" Ichigo asked as he looked up to the captain.

Aizen knelt down to the child and smiled. "I've been looking for you Ichigo. I wish to help you, but you must help me. Understood?"

"And what exactly do you want to help me with exactly?" Ichigo asked as he cocked his head to the side.

"I wish to help you reunite with your family." Aizen said, surprising the boy. "All I ask is that you come with me for a short time. I knew you were fast, but that speed is unlike anything I've ever seen before."

"What do you mean reunite me with my family?" Ichigo asked as he took a step forward. Aizen knew he had struck a nerve, but also knew this boy was miles ahead of him in power.

"You help me retrieve an item called the Hogyoku, and I can help you Ichigo." Aizen said quickly as he started to feel the boy's rising spirit energy. "That is all I ask. I'll need your help leaving when I get it. Can you do this for me Ichigo?"

Ichigo sighed and let up on his energy. He looked at the captain and asked. "What do you want me to do?"

Aizen smirked on the outside, but inside he was incredibly relieved he didn't have to attempt to fight the boy.

"Here's what you need to do." Aizen began to explain.

Karakura Town, Kisuke's Shop

"Kisuke, we're goin to the soul society right now!" Isshin yelled out as he and Masaki barged into the shop, their daughters right behind them. Kisuke and Yoruichi jumped out of their skins when the door to the shop flung open to reveal the obviously upset duo.

"Wait what?" Kisuke started with a confused face. "Why exactly do ya'll want to go there?"

"Grand Fisher showed up at the river and before we could take him out-" Masaki started before taking a breath. "He tricked us into seeing Ichigo, and we all froze." Masaki wasn't crying, but she was clearly distressed about this whole situation.

Both Kisuke and Yoruichi were surprised by what they were told. "Wait a minute. Are you implying that he somehow went to the soul society?" Yoruichi asked.

"He opened a senkaimon." Isshin said to the two.

"Then we'll have to worry about that later." Kisuke started as he stood up. "Right now, if Grand Fisher was somehow able to get into soul society through a senkaimon, then who knows what else he could possibly do." He lead them down to the training grounds and they walked over to a small gate. Kisuke placed his hand on it and released his spirit energy. The gate started to open up and reveal the Dangai.

"Alright." Yoruichi started with a big grin on her face. "I might as well come with too. You never know."

There were no arguments there as the four were focused at the task at hand. The now five went inside and proceeded through the Dangai. By the time the cleaner showed up, they were already at the end of the tunnel. They fell down into a clearing not far from the gates of the Seireitei. The soul society was actually beautiful at night time.

"Hey Isshin." Yoruichi started to him. "We're not that far from her, you know."

"Not that far from who?" Karin asked her sparring master.

Yoruichi looked down to her and smiled. "You're cousin."

Both Yuzu and Karin beamed at those words. They would have never expected that they had a cousin in the soul society.

"We should go and see her Isshin." Masaki started as she placed a hand on her husbands shoulder. "They should at least see your side of the family."

Isshin sighed and followed Yoruichi. After a few detours to avoid watchful eyes, they arrived at the Shiba compound. Isshin smirked at the banner and went up to the door. He knocked hard on it to get everyone's attention and they waited.

"WHOEVER IS OUT THERE AND HAS THE BALLS TO BANG ON MY DOOR HAD BETTER BE SOMEONE-" Kuukaku was in the middle of shouting until she opened the door and saw her uncle standing right in front of her.

"I'm pretty sure you were going to say someone who knows just how to calm you down." Isshin said to her with a smile on his face.

Kuukaku was stunned at seeing her uncle for the first time in decades. She couldn't find words for how she felt right now. Relieved? Happy? Surprised? Angry? Or maybe just a combination of all of that, she still punched him straight in his face. Unlike her other strikes to other people that would usually send them flying away, this strike simply made Isshin stagger. He looked back to her and saw her sigh at him.

"Well that's one weird way of saying hey to your uncle." Isshin said with a grin as he rubbed his cheek with his free hand.

"You don't even know what happened to our clan after you left don't you?" Kuukaku started.

"I do." Isshin started. "And I'm sorry I wasn't here, but there was someone very special to me that needed my help." He looked to Masaki and she smiled to him.

Kuukaku looked to her then back to Isshin and then to the two girls behind him. She gasped when she saw them. "You mean, these two and her are your-"

Isshin cut her off and placed his arm around Masaki. "This is my family Kuukaku. And we could really use your help."

"Come inside and explain everything to me." Kuukaku said as she let everyone in.

The Next Day, Seireitei

Earlier in the morning, some sort of object struck the dome of the Seireitei and shattered it. Everyone was on high alert after they felt four different spirit energies come from the area it crashed at. A captains meeting was held and the head captain ordered all captains be on high alert for these intruders. This was music to Aizen's ears as his plan was starting to come together. He just needed Ichigo to find that one hollow, Hooleer, that could send the Negacion to his position on the Sokyoku hill. It was now all about timing now. He had already taken care of the central 46 and now only needed to hope that Ichigo finds Hooleer before everything comes to a head.

Hueco Mundo, Menos Forest

Ichigo was making his way further into the Menos forest by air. Aizen instructed him to find a massive hollow called Hooleer and convince him to send his Negacion to the soul society at a particular time and place.

When Ichigo had told his friends back in the cave of what he was asked to do by a soul reaper, of coarse most of them didn't agree with this at all. Mainly the three adjucha. Halibel was cautious of Ichigo trusting a rouge soul reaper while Neliel said she would support Ichigo no matter what. It took some convincing, but he was eventually able to get them to trust his decision. He was lucky to have friends like them.

After a few hours of flying, he spotted the large hollow he was looking for along with a blond haired Vasto Lode. Ichigo got a good look at him. He was probably a few feet taller than Ichigo and had armor like skin that was pale white. His mask only had one eye hole to it and half of his mask on his jaw looked to be cracked. Ichigo landed in front of the two, making them cautious of another Vasto Lorde.

"Hi." Ichigo said as he waved to them. "I'm Ichigo, and I was wondering if you could help me with something."

The mention of his name mad the blond shudder and take a half step back. He, along with most of every other hollow in the forest had heard of that name. "I've heard of you before." The Vasto Lorde started. He cocked his head at Ichigo almost like he was examining him. "I heard you were short, but I didn't think you were shorter than even me."

Ichigo let out a chuckle and scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, I get that a lot actually. So what's your name?"

"I'm Wonderweiss Margela." He said as he pointed to himself. He pointed to the big hollow behind him. "This is Hooleer, my only friend."

Ichigo waved to the giant hollow. "Hi there Hooleer."

"So, what does the infamous Ichigo want our help with?" Wonderweiss asked him.

"Well I need Hooleer to send something called a Nega-something to the soul society in like, two hours or so." Ichigo said to Wonderweiss.

"Oh, that's it?" Wonderweiss asked him. Ichigo nodded to him. "Okay. We can do that, right Hooleer?" He looked up to the giant hollow and it bellowed out to him almost cheerfully. Wonderweiss looked back at Ichigo and continued. "We'll help you on two condition."

"Okay." Ichigo said with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"One, we can be friends and go up with you." Ichigo gave him a thumbs up much to Wonderweiss' excitement. "And two, I really would like to fight you sometime to see just how strong you really are."

If Ichigo wasn't wearing his mask, then these two would be able to see his happy face as he bounced up and down. "Deal. I was looking for someone new to fight against at some point."

Wonderweiss and Hooleer were ecstatic as they followed Ichigo back to the surface. They were met with many faces as they left. Most of were from fear at the sight of two powerful Vasto Lorde walking together and a massive hollow behind them. By the time they made it back to the cave, it was almost time for Hooleer to launch his Negacion to soul society. The three were met by the others at the opening of the cave and Apache, Mila Rose and Sun Sun were very tense at the sight of the massive hollow.

"Hey girls." Ichigo started with a wave. He pointed to Wonderweiss who was standing next to him. "This is Wonderweiss and the big guy is Hooleer. They're going to be staying with us now."

The news made Halibel look at Ichigo with her head cocked to the side. "No offense Ichigo, but Hooleer won't be able to fit in the cave."

"Hooleer can stay outside, and I'll stay out with him." Wonderweiss spoke up.

That was about all they needed to hear before Ichigo told the two that it was almost time. Wonderweiss looked up to his friend and told him to go for it. Hooleer let out a strange bellow and a large yellow beam shot towards the sky. It opened a large garganta and went into it.

Back at the soul society, Aizen, Gin and Tousen had already made themselves known to everyone and had the Hogyoku now. They knew they were outnumbered on the Sokyoku and everyone knew they had nowhere else to go. That was when the sky opened up and three Negacions engulfed the three rouges. As they were lifted up, Aizen started to monologue all of his past actions and deeds to everyone. He then turned to the Kurosaki family who had just finished their battle with both Byakuya, Kenpachi, Toshiro and Komamura. What he said got under their skin.

"You all believed that Grand Fisher came here when really that was just my Kyoka Suigetsu." He continued as he took his glasses off and slicked back his hair. "Oh, and one last thing. I was the one who ordered Grand Fisher that night to take his life. Ichigo Kurosaki belongs to me now."

That made the four gasp at the sudden realization that Ichigo was alive and he was with Aizen in the land of hollows. Before any of them could retort, Aizen was already past the garganta and it closed.

Aizen and his two followers were now falling from the sky and had to catch themselves so they wouldn't fall down hard. They were met by many eyes all staring at them. The three rouges recognized Ichigo, but all of the others were almost complete mysteries to them.

"So." Ichigo started in a cheerful like tone. "I helped you, so now you have to help me see my family. Right?"

Aizen smirked at the boy. "First things first Ichigo." He held the Hogyoku to his face. "First I must assemble my army. Then I will help you see your family." Aizen was so confident in himself that he had forgotten one thing, he was in the Negacion when he said what he said. He realized this all too late when Ichigo appeared and took the Hogyoku and his zanpakuto away form him. The others surrounded the three and were prepared for a battle.

"So." Ichigo said, still in his cheerful tone. "I belong to you right? Well, not anymore."

That's Another Chapter. Hope Ya'll Liked It. I Decided To Skip Over The Whole Seireitei Thing Cause I Already Did This Before And Didn't Want To Do It Again.
