Truths out in the Open
World of the Living, Japan, Karakura Town, Kurosaki Clinic
Ichigo and his team gathered around the dinner table as Yoshino told them where the Bounty's Locations were and their numbers.
"And that is all I could get when I started going against them," She told them as Ichigo rubbed his chin.
"We need to know more about this mansion, and we need to know it now," Ichigo declared, his eyes fixed on the map with a single pin.
"So what is our move, Captain Kurosaki," Kiyone asked as she looked at the map.
"I know that I keep calling on the two of you," Ichigo said, his gaze unwavering as Yoruichi and Suì-Fēng stood up, ready for the task.
"Say no more Ichigo," Yoruichi said.
"But do tell us what you need," Suì-Fēng added.
"I want a layout of that mansion, every entrance and exit, every possible point that we could be spotted and ways around them, and while Yoshino has given us a rough number of them, I want an exact amount," Ichigo instructed, the gravity of the mission hanging in the air. "And for everyone else, the mission is the following, make them think that Yoshino has not told us about the mansion, and be on the watch for Hollows, so I want everyone here doing their bit," he informed them all, the secrecy of their plan palpable.
"Understood," Everyone said as both ninjas walked out.
And that was when Uryū's phone went off.
"What is it," Chad asked as he and his group started to stand up.
Uryū looked at his phone. "My father, we want to talk with me," he told them as Ichigo narrowed his eyes.
"Go," The Captain said as Quincy nodded and headed out.
"Then we're on the lookout for Hollows," Izuru said to Yumichika, who nodded but nodded and the two headed out.
Two Hours Later, Uryū's House
Uryū sat at his kitchen table. Across from him sat a middle-aged man of average height who appeared quite fit. He wore thin, frameless glasses and a plain grey suit with a light blue shirt and a tie adorned with Quincy crosses. He had narrow blue eyes and was fair-skinned with white hair.
"Hello father, what can I do for you," Uryū asked the man who looked over at his son.
"I want to know why you are aiding the Shinigami, the people who killed my father, your gandfather," He asked his son, but the look on his face showed that he did not care.
"I'm making sure to live a life that grandfather wanted, a life where Shinigami and Quincy can work and even live together," Uryū told his father.
"So you are following the ideals of a senile old man," the older Quincy said as he reached for a cigarette. At his son's scowl, he stopped. "But I want to know what happened at the hospital last night," he told his son.
"A Bount was after us for some reason, and we found out-," he said before his father looked at his son, cutting him off.
"A Bount you said," He asked his son, who nodded, "I see," He muttered as he looked out the window.
Uryū narrowed his eyes at his father, "What do you know," He asked him.
The older man looked over to his son before sighing, "Your grandfather told me about how some of the Bounts wanted to return to their original home back in the Soul Society, but one Bount spoke out that it was a bad idea, but that one voice failed to persuade the others away from it, and so the Bounts created a Senkaimon, one similar to the one that Shinigami use, that connected to Soul Society, but as they lacked the ability to manipulate Reishi, that prevented their Senkaimon from both working and converting their bodies to Reishi upon entry into the Soul Society," The older Quincy explained to his son who nodded and made to take note of everything his father was saying, "So this led them to seek the assistance of the Quincy with our Reishi-manipulating abilities to accomplish this, our king, Yhwach, said that it sounded interesting, but one of the closet to his only daughter said that it was a bad idea and thun both of them told the rest and the Quincy refused to help the Bounts, resulting in the two going to war," The white haird man finished telling his son.
Uryū ensured he kept the information safe before something came to him. "Wait, I knew that Masaki Kurosaki was his daughter. But how old was she?" he could not help but ask.
"She was born around 1800, if not earlier; it was thanks to her being the granddaughter of the Soul King, so that age meant nothing to her; only death would end her," the man said as Uryū nodded quietly. "Now, then, back to the Bounts. I am telling you as your father to stay away from them as they will lead you to your death," he told his son, who scoffed.
"Oh, now you act like my father and not my boss," Uryū said as he pulled out his spirit weapon and showed it to his father. "This happened when I followed my grandfather's dream about uniting the Quincy and Shinigami. This is my Geist Töten Bogen, and they are like the Zanpakutō of the Shinigami," he told his father, who looked at the gothic cross neckless around his son's arm.
He then turned to look at his son, "I see," Was all he said.
"And just to let you know, father, our king has already sent aid to the Bounts," Uryū told his father, whose eyes shot wide.
"What," He asked his son.
"Yhwach has sent a group of five female Quiny to help the Bounts make their way into the Soul Society," he explained, and his father cursed. "What is it?" he asked.
"The five female Quincy are known as the Bambies; each of those five has been given a Schrift from Yhwach himself to make them stronger; they are Liltotto Lamperd with G: The Glutton, Meninas McAllon who has P: The Power, Candice Catnipp with the power of T: The Thunderbolt, Giselle Gewelle who has Z: The Zombie," The man said as Uryū was quick to make a note of everything that his father was saying, "And finally you have there leader Bambietta Basterbine, she had the power of E: The Explode, these girls are a unit of the Sternritter, and part of the Wandenreich," He told his son who looked confused.
"Sternritter, Wandenreich, what the hell are they," He asked his father.
"The Wandenreich is the army under Yhwach to make sure that they can destroy the balance of life and death, and they have a secret location that I have been searching for so I can infiltrate and take down them, but so far, I have had no luck," The man said as Uryū looked shocked, "As for the Sternritter, they are an order of mighty Quincy who serves as the Wandenreich's leading combatants, and each one of them has been given a Schrift from Yhwach, and he has from what I understand, twenty six of them under his control," The older Quincy told his son.
"I see," Uryū said as he looked out his window.
Late At Night, Karakura Shoping District
Two women walked around the shopping district as they moved from shop to shop.
The first was Ichigo's former teacher. She wore dark blue jeans, a dark red shirt with the number 5 in black, a black leather jacket over her shoulders, and dark brown boots.
The other was a tall, curvy, fair-skinned woman with brown eyes. Her raven hair, which reaches her upper back, has bangs that part to the left of her face. It is styled in a ponytail with a purple scrunchy. She wore a white T-shirt with long purple sleeves, tight black pants with a buckle belt, and black rubber boots.
"So how have things been, Ikumi? I heard your son is getting on well in school," the teacher asked the now-named Ikumi, rolling her eyes.
"Kaoru's fine, but I wish that he would not think that he has to be strong for my sake," Ikumi said with a sigh. "Misato, I just can't wait until he's in high school, where he meets a nice girl, and so he can start putting his attention on her," she added as Misato smiled.
"But at the same time you don't want that do you," She said as her friend rolled her eyes.
"Yes, yes, I know but still," Ikumi said before something that sent a shiver down Misato's spine.
*Rooooooooooar*
It was a wail.
But one that Misato remembered from the five months that Ichgio and his friends had disappeared from the world of the living.
It was both the roar and the wail of a Hollow close to them.
"What the fuck was that," Ikumi asked as he looked around.
Misato's headshot to her friend, "You heard that?" she asked as Ikumi nodded before she saw someone in the sky. She did not think she would see Agine until her death.
Or not even then.
"Ah, is that-," Ikumi said as she pointed, but Misato grabbed her hand and pulled it down.
"That was one of my former students and he is currently doing his job," She said as Ikumi looked confused, "Follow me," She said as Misato followed Ichigo.
And for some reason, she could sense where he was as she led her friend towards where she would find Ichigo.
And when she found him, she saw him fight a Hollow.
The Hollow had dark grey skin and looked like a shark with a long scorpion tail, while the mask on this Hollow looked like a monkey.
"So what is your name," Ichigo asked as he took hold of Zangetsu's sealed form.
"I am Delta," the Hollow said in a female voice as he looked at Ichigo. "And if I'm not mistaken, you are the newest captain of Gotie, Ichigo Kurosaki, the next Soul King," Delta said to Ichigo, who narrowed his eyes at the Hollow.
"That's right, but how did you know that," He asked the shark hybrid Hollow.
"Who do you think told us," She asked as more Hollows showed up.
One looked like a lion, one looked like a tiger, and the last one looked like a leopard.
"I see, so Aizen has given you the information," Ichigo said as he drew Zangetsu and Diablo Luna. "Now, I was just going to purify your souls, but it's going to be different," he said as he shot forward and cut down the lion and tiger Hollows.
Both women watch in amazement at what they are watching, with Ichigo showing off his skills in dispatching the Hollows and how he was fighting two Hollows simultaneously.
The shark hybrid and leopard jumped at Ichgio, who stabbed the blade of Zangetsu into the ground and then pointed Mond Ritter at the leopard Hollow. The gem glowed as it shot a small arrow into the Hollow, disintegrating it.
"That was cool," Ikumi said as she watched in awe at his skills.
But then Misato saw that Delta sank into the floor and started swimming around with only her fin showing, "ICHIGO," she called out as the shark approached him.
The teen's eyes shot wide as he jumped over the fin before taking hold of it and pulling the shark out of the water.
"How are you doing this," Delta asked him as she looked into Ichigo's eyes.
And saw that they were Hollow gold.
"Now them, I would like the answers that I would like," Ichigo said as the two women looked shocked at what Ichigo was doing.
"That is your student," Ikumi asked as she watched as the Hollow cowered in the teen's presence.
"And that's all I know," Delta said as Ichgio looked the Hollow in the eye before holding his hand. Zangetsu flew out of the ground and into his open hand before he killed the Hollow.
"So, is running into Hollows a favourite pass time you have or something," Ichgio asked Misato.
Before she could say anything, Ikumi turned to the orange-haired teen. "I'm sorry. Who are you?" she asked him.
The teen looked at her before standing straight. "I am Ichigo Kurosaki, Captain of the Fifth division of the Gotie 13 and the Soul Prince," he said. The women looked amazed, and Misato looked confused about something.
"What do you mean by Soul Prince," She asked him.
"I am the heir of Haō, the Soul King, the one that governs all the souls in the afterlife, and being named his heir," Ichigo informed his former teacher.
"Now that is information that my master would want to know," a male voice said as Ichigo turned to see
It was a tall, tan, skinny man with a distinctive face. He had a slight goatee on his chin, some sideburns, and a bushy afro. He typically wore shades, never revealing his eyes. His forehead scar slightly resembled a diagonal omega sign.
He was dressed as a gentleman, wearing a top hat, trousers, and a black afro. His coat's inner linings were yellow and orange. The cravat tied between his jacket and around his neck was blue.
And in his hand was a cane with a skilled handle.
The two women looked at the man in confusion about how this man could appear out of nowhere.
But what caught Ichgio's attention was the markings on the skill cane.
"So what is a Bount doing here," Ichigo asked as he held Zangetsu tightly.
"Oh, I was sent by Kariya to look for the traitor Yoshino, but then I found you and found out that you are the heir to the Soul King," the man said as he looked at Ichgio before he looked over to the two women. But here I find you talking with two excellent meals," he said as he moved forward as Ichigo. In one movement, he sheathed Zangetsu and pulled out and held out Diablo Luna.
The man looked at the Hoja Alma with a raised brow. "I see, so that is like the swords and weapons that Shinigami's forces use," he said as Ichigo narrowed his eyes.
"What do you mean by that," He asked as the man looked at Ichgio before smiling.
"Now then, I don't think I introduced myself," the man said as he bowed at the Captain of the Fifth with the two women. "Rom Zohuna, and allow me to introduce my Doll," Rom said as he held up his staff.
"Doll," Ikumi asked Rom before seeing that Ichgio was tensing his body, waiting for the Bount to release his Doll.
"Zeige Dich! Schneesturm," he called out as he slammed his can into the ground. As the staff started to hover off the ground, the wind began to spin around the cane, ice and snow started to form around it, and two arms started to form with clawed fingers.
A spiked beard of ice formed around the skull, with a thicker layer of ice over it and a cape formed from the snow.
Rocks and concrete started to gather with the wind as it formed over its feet, making boots along with armour over its shoulders.
Schneesturm turned to his Bount with a raised brow, "Why have you called be out," He asked.
"We need to capture that Captain so that we have a better way into the Soul Society, so if you could," Rom said as he pointed at Ichigo.
"Alright," Schneesturm told his master as he held out his hand; ice started to form around him with small humanoid impish creatures with clawed hands and feet.
They started to hiss at Ichgio as soot in defence of the two women, and the teen coated his Hollow sword in flames as he cut down the creatures.
Ikumi and Misato were shaken as the ice creatures and the teen cut them down.
But each time he cut one down, they would reform back up each time he cut them down.
"Schneesturm can summon minions for him to order around," Rom told Ichigo as the three moved into the open as they moved and started to run.
Or rather, Ichigo picked up both women and started running off to a construction site.
But sadly.
"Was this supposed to aid you in some way," Rom asked them as he appeared behind them.
"Yes," Ichigo said as he put down both women and turned his opponent as Schneesturm summoned more minions, "Do you know anything about my swords and ring," He asked Rom, who looked confused along with the two women.
"No, and why dose that matter," The Bount asked the teen.
"It's simple; my soul follows a theme, you see," Ichigo said. The woman looked interested, "My ring, Mond Ritter, represents god's angle that guarded the gates of heaven; my Zanpakutō, Zangetsu, is that angle when he fell and started his rebelion," Ichigo said as he held his Hoja Alma out before turning to the blade tip to his chest.
The three people watching him had their eyes shot wide. "Do you mean to tell me that your Hollow side is the Devil?" Rom asked Ichigo.
The teenager smiled at the Bount. "Let me show you," Ichgio said as he moved the tip of Diablo Luna to his chest. "Punish the Guilty," Ichgio said as he pushed the blade into his chest, and his eyes started to glow golden yellow. "Diablo Luna," he finished calling out as he released a torrent of spiritual power that created tremendous gusts of wind while he was covered in pitch-back spiritual energy.
When the black energy faded, it showed that Ichigo had changed.
Ichigo's form had changed with his orange hair becoming long and straight, and like his Bankai, it reached down to his waist, and a Hollow hole decorated with markings stretching from the hole across his chest and shoulders. He had retractable claws on his fingertips and toes, small, furry red tufts, two starting from his collarbone and stretching around his neck and one each on his wrists and ankles, white skin, and he had two long forward-pointing horns with black strips extending from their centre towards the tips. In his hand, a daitō with a curved tip and three spikes form along the tip of the blade and form within his left hand. The cross guard has four prongs bent out to create the shape of the manji. Ichigo's robe is replaced with a long-sleeved, ankle-length shihakushō with red lining, closed at his chest and left to flare out into ragged ends, like his Bankai.
The teen cracked his neck as he looked around before he looked at Schneesturm.
Then the teen moved forward so fast that no one could follow; when he drove through all the ice minions, it looked like he blinked out of existence for a split second, and then he reappeared in front of the Doll.
And when he did, all the minions were destroyed, turning to shards of ice around him.
The teen looked up at the Doll as crimson energy formed between his horns. "Is that a-Schneesturm move now?" Rom called out to his Doll.
The ice Doll moved its head out of the way before Ichgio released a Cero that destroyed Schneesturm's arm as it turned a beam.
Ichigo jumped into the air around his sword; flames formed around it as Schneesturm tried to block the attack with his hand.
But the teen cut off the Doll's arm, and it fell to the floor and shattered onto the ground.
Schneesturm started to reform his as Ichgio turned around in the air before jumping at the head of the Doll.
"After some of the things that I've taken from you, now it's time for me to turn you to dust," Ichigo said in his double-layered voice as he started to put another Cero within his horns. He pointed it point blank at the head of Schneesturm.
"No, you don't have to do this," Rom told Ichgio as he saw the Cero growing in power.
"No, to save the Soul Society from you and your group, I do what I must," He said as the teen shot out the Cero into the head of Schneesturm.
Thus, when the Cero turned into the beam, it destroyed the head of the Doll.
Rom fell to his knees as, clutched his head, and started to grunt in pain, and both women came out of hiding and watched this happen.
"What's happening to him," Ikumi asked as Rom started to writhe in pain on the floor before he exploded into Dust, "Okey, what the fuck was that," She asked the teen as he returned to normal.
"He was a Bount, and this one could have been around for hundreds of years devouring the souls of those of the dead for an unknown amount of time," Ichigo explained to the two of them before he looked up to the sky and saw that the moon was high in the sky, "I best make sure that the two of you can get home safe," He said as he started to help the two women home.
Two Hours Later
After Ichigo had made sure that Ikumi had got hime, he walked his former teacher home with her guiding him as he walked with her in a gigai, "So how are you in a body," Misato asked him after minutes of unease and silence as they walked.
"When I left to get to my job, my body became something called a gigai, something that my soul can inhabit while here in the world of the living," he said as Misato nodded.
"What is a Bount," She asked him.
"A Bount is a human with spiritual powers, like a Quincy, like Uryū and his father, but they can live for eternity if they devour the souls of the dead," Ichigo told her as they reached the house, "But they are now targeting the living," He told her as they got to her doot and the teacher froze on the spot.
"He was going to kill me," Misato asked him. Ichigo nodded, and the teacher could not help the tears that flowed down her face as she sank to her knees.
The teen opened his mouth, but the high school teacher looked up. "Why?" she asked him as Ichgio helped her into her house.
"When they entered the reincarnation cycle they managed to be reborn as someone in the world of the living as a new sould with new powers," Ichgio said as he left his former teacher over to her couch, "And but they were born with powers that could make them importal, but in doing so made them a treat to the balace of the world," He told her as she nodded at him.
"So they want to do what now," She asked her former student.
"I don't know, but I do know that it means breaking a barrier between the two worlds, the world of the living and the Soul Society, so as one of the guards of the Soul Society it is my job to make sure that it is defended from there evil," Ichgio told her as she nodded and hugged him close.
Lemon Ahead/Lemon Ahead/Lemon Ahead/Lemon Ahead/Lemon Ahead/Lemon Ahead/Lemon Ahead/Lemon Ahead
Misato hugged Ichigo tightly before she looked up at him and did something that shocked them both.
She kissed him
But then, neither of them stopped kissing as the teacher moved on to Ichgio's lab as they kissed.
Ichigo's hand moved to the woman's jacket, and he helped her remove it as they kissed. Misato worked on Ichigo's t-shirt and pulled it over his head when both came up for air.
"Are you sure you want this," Ichigo asked her as he held his shirt in his hand.
"Let me show you," She whispered to him as she slid off his lap and onto the floor; she started to work Ichigo's jeans down the teen's legs, and he showed her his stiff erection.
Misato popped Ichigo's dick in her mouth and started to lick and suck on the shaft, and while she did, she began to take her shirt off, and she then started to jack him off with one hand as she pulled her shirt off.
And it showed that she wore a black bra with a floral pattern over the cups.
And she removed that not soon after.
Ichigo watched in amazement as his former teacher showed her slutty side as she undid her jeans and started to finger herself as she sucked him off before he could feel a build-up, "Sensei I'm gonna," He said to her as she pulled his dicked out of her mouth and started to jerk him off.
"I want it on my face," She told him as she jacked him off, and before long, Ichigo let out a moan in pleasure and release as he let his load out, and it covered her face, along with her chest.
Misato loved the feeling of being covered in Ichigo's cum as she rubbed the jizz into her body. Ichigo panted, but his dick was still hard. Misato stood up and removed her jeans and panties in one go, "Are you done big boy," She asked him as she made her way onto his lap once more and straddled his lap.
Ichigo could feel his penis wanting to enter the folds that lay on top of it, "Never," Ichgio said as he held the weist of Misato and lifted her slightly before sheathing his dick with her and he felt something, "Are you a-," He asked her, and she nodded.
"Yes, my family has always been traditional and only want me to give my body to a man that I wound marry, and I wanted to break that so, here I am," She said as she forced more of Ichgo's dick into her as she started to go up on and down on the erection that was within her.
She slid the dick in and out of her core before Ichgio started to match her rhythm with thrusts.
Both partners moaned in pleasure as the two had sex on the couch, with Ichgio's hands roaming over the body of his former teacher.
They fucked before they locked lips once more; they both felt that they were close before Ichigo pulled away from the kiss, "I'm gonna," He told her as the teacher smiled.
"I want it inside," She told him as Ichgio reached the end of his tread and released a load within the woman on his lap.
Lemon Is Over/Lemon Is Over/Lemon Is Over/Lemon Is Over/Lemon Is Over/Lemon Is Over/Lemon Is Over/Lemon Is Over
Both of them breathed heavily as Misato cold Ichigo's seed within her; it made her feel full, "That was amazing," She told her former student before she smiled at him, "Do you have enugh in the tank for another go," She asked him.
With Yoruichi and Suì-Fēng
Both women had found the mansion the Bounts were using, but they kept it hidden as flying eyeballs moved across the air around them.
But they had got what they wanted, so they started returning to the clinic. "Yoruichi-sama, what was that Hollow power that I sensed just now?" Suì-Fēng asked her master.
"Ichigo releasing Diablo Luna releases a lot of power when he does that. We think that it is almost on the level of his Bankai, but for him to release it, it must mean he was facing a Bount. And if he was facing a Bount, that means he was defending someone, and as he is a captain," Yoruichi said as the petit captain nodded.
"So his Shinigami powers are under a seal, and he needs to use his Hollow powers to combat the Doll," Suì-Fēng asked as Yoruichi nodded. "I wonder what it feels like," she asked out loud.
"Well, he has to stab himself with the sealed form of Diablo Luna to release it," the cat woman said before she saw someone. You head off; I have to talk with someone," Yoruichi said as the petite woman nodded and headed off.
Yoruichi let herself sink to the floor as she walked up to the person who was following her and her former student, "It's not nice to follow someone you know," Yoruichi said as the person nodded, "So, can you tell me why," She asked them.
"I want to fight and aid my friend in defendeing this place and I have to do this," The person said as they stepped out of the shadows to reveal Tatsuki.
"And how are you going to do that?" the cat woman asked before Tatsuki, who held out a sword that looked to be made of glass. "Where did you get that?" she asked with narrowed eyes.
"That man with the bucket had said that I could have it as it would help in the long run, and so he said that if I showed it to you, you would know what to do," Tatsuki said as Yoruichi let out a sigh so deep that the high school student looked shocked and could feel the weight of that sigh.
"Kisuke, you idiot," she muttered before Yoruichi, looking Tatsuki dead in the eye. "Are you really sure you want this?" she asked, and Tatsuki nodded.
"Right then, do you know what I'm going to have to do," Yoruichi asked as Tatsuki nodded.
"Yes, that guy said that he gathered spiritual power from Rukia, Chad, Orihime, Ichigo, both of Ichigo's sisters, Ichigo's old man and some other people and then fused the original version of this with something called Asauchi, and then I just have someone charge it before they stab me in my Soul Chain," Tatsuki told her as Yoruichi nodded once more before she took hold of the sword and started to channel her spirit energy within it as it gave off a rainbow glow.
She gave Tatsuki one last chance to run away, but the teen stood firm, so Yoruichi cursed Urahara's name and then plunged the sword into Tatsuki, and the teen exploded in a wave of spiritual pressure.
Everyone who joined Ichigo stopped what they were doing briefly as they all looked in the same direction.
