*9 Months Later*
1st PoV
He always dreamed of things like this.To wake up in one of his favourite world where he could wield supernatural abilities and gain the affection of hot females along the way.
He knew now that was just a pipe dream. Dreaming and living the moment were two different things. This realisation had hit him in the few months that he had been in soul society.The life in which he was now living in saw that he did nothing except helping the old woman who had hired him to sell what was a sorry excuse of fruits trying to gain a living may be learn where he was in the timeline and it was boring.
"Better living like this rather than nothing I guess." He said to himself internally as he woke up and prepared his morning routine.
Of course after he learnt that he was reborn in Bleach he did not sit idly. He knew that in order to not be a victim of stronger people. He should try to gain more power in order to survive.
He knew that in any physical requiring activities such as fighting he needed stamina that's why every morning he woke up early and sprinted towards the forest which was at the edge of the district to gain some training in.
He stood up from the floor he was sleeping on and moved out of the hut within which he and the old lady lived. The hut consisted of three rooms where he slept, where Mikasa slept and where they dined.
He worked through the district and greeted some passerby. He had come to learn that every district was atleast the size of a medium town and it was rare to see people moving from district to another except maybe for some shinigami but they rarely ventured far off to this district. So that's why souls in the same district somehow knew if a person was newbie in a district.
He continued to walk and arrived in a small field of grass.This field was located in the middle of the forest which separated the 50th district and 51st district.
Arriving at my pseudo-training ground I first did some light warms and streches.
*30 Minutes Later*
*pant
*pant
He was tired after having run across a field equal in size to a football pitch with full speed and sometimes altering to a jogging state then accelerated.
He had planned this training route with the objective in mind that maybe his speed, stamina and acceleration would increase with the exercise.
In his previous, he had played in a football academy and those were some of the drills they did. So he had adopted them thinking that maybe they could be beneficial in the afterlife also.
He straightened his back and took a boxing stance that he had seen on tv in his last life. He first started with a punch straightforward and a kick. Then he would block or duck in between the punch and kick.
*punch
*duck
*kick
*block
He repeated this simple moves for at least 15 minutes then he took he took a push up position.
*Some Minutes later*
"...27,28,29 and 30." He finished while panting and immediately laid down to take a breathe.At least, there was some improvement from his past as before he had started to work out doing 10 push ups was exhausting by itself but now he had multiplied that by 3.
He stood up again again restarted the punching and kicking routine for another 15 minutes.Then he took a sit up position.
*Some Minutes later*
"...41, 42, 43, 44 and 45." He finished while sitting up and hunching over to wipe some sweat falling in his eyes.
"At least I am making some changes during this time." Due to this routine he had seen some improvement in his physique. When he had come to this world he was skinny but now he had gained some muscle no matter how little the gain was but he could see some gain even though his height did not change at all. He was a little bit also faster and he could feel the strength of his arm had somehow.
"I can't wait to enter the seireitei and gain true training.Then I will be able to do some cool stuff from the show." Kaito thought with some glee. Even though he knew Bleach was one of the most chaotic worlds with some messed up people (*cough Mayuri *cough Aizen*cough)who wouldn't hesitate to use you to obtain scientific data.
He still wanted to learn how to fire magical beams such as that 88th Hadō and even travel through towns with just two steps. He was a great fan of magical things. He had to stop himself from experimenting on his reiryoku in fear of may be affecting it's normal growth after learning that a soul did not immediately have shinigami-like reiryoku amount but he still did some meditation exercise in the evening before sleeping and he could feel some changes.
When he had started those exercise he had found a small blue ball with the size as the same as that of a tennis ball in the middle of darkness but now that ball had grown to match that of a volleyball ball.He had started starving for food recently which was a great indicator of possession of reiryoku.
He stood up and did some streches to cool himself down and started to move back towards the district. He arrived to see that Mikasa was wide awake and was beginning to set-up the stand.
"Good morning Obaa-san." He had also learnt that in soul socisety people spoke in a weird mix english and japanese but they wrote in pure japanese along with this he had learnt that he was capable to understand japanese somehow but he was still learning how to write the different kanji and let him tell you something it was a pain in the ass.
"Good morning kaito-kūn."The old lady responded back with a smile on her face. During the unknown amount of time that he had been in soul society, he could say that she was the only person that he ever interacted with for a long time that is why he had come to see her as a grandmother and her like her grandson.
"I see that you are finished with your training." Mikasa said as she was returning to the hut. "Today, I will be travelling to the 49th district to get some food, so you'll be staying here managing this stand today. Will you be able to manage alone?" Mikasa asked with some worry due to the fact that it was my first time managing the stand alone.
"Don't worry, I will be able to manage the stand alone." He reassured Mikasa while striking a thumb up pose.
Mikasa smiled and took an empty bag while walking to the north. She could go without worry as it was rather peaceful in this district and there was almost nothing that could happen.
She didn't know that she had just jinxed fate.
*Some hours later*
Kaito was bored out of his mind. Running the stand was easy but they were not many people to talk to. It was so boring that his eyelids were almost dropping until
Roarrrrrrr
He was immediately wide awake after that roar.
"The hell, that sounded like a tiger." He looked frantically around himself seeing also that other souls had also stopped and they were all nervous.
That's when he felt a sudden pressure which felt like 20 stones dropped on his head and back. He dropped on his knees and he could see even the air waving.
Roarrrrr
In the far forest he was using to train emerged an 8ft tall tiger-like beast with a black skin and the white masked with yellow string directly above and below it's eyes.
"Wallahi, I am finished." Kaito thought with trepidation as he felt himself being paralysed and unable to move.
The beast immediately lunged itself towards the nearest person and tore through his fresh with just its fangs.
This act of gore had awakened everyone and people started running and screaming their lungs off while Kaito finally had recovered the strength in his legs and stood up to attempt to run.
He started running quickly towards the next district while feeling that the beast was attacking the people in the district behind him.
While running he passed by a boy of maybe 5-6 years old that had tripped himself and fallen to the ground and the beast was approaching the child.
"Fuck me and my big soft heart." He said to himself in frustration as he couldn't let in good conscience a boy be killed while he could do something.
He turned around and picked the boy up on his shoulders and attempted to run but his speed was reduced due to the weight so the beast was catching up. He decided to apply a technique that he had thought about but never tested.
*Flashback*
"If this is my spiritual can't I use like some sort of power up to enforce my strikes and defence." Kaito was deep in the woods in the evening after few minutes of meditating.
This idea had come from the various anime works he had seen where they used their inner source of power to boost their stats for a few minutes.
*End of Flashback*
He closed his eyes and started searching for the familiar sense of warmth and it took a few moments to manifest outside as a blue aura surrounding his body.
That is when he could feel himself speed and increasing the distance between himself and the beast.
The beast gained an aggreviated look on itself and increased its speed easily reducing the distance between him and the beast to 10ft distance.
He saw this and dropped the kid.
"Run brat. Go far away from here." He yelled to the kid and concentrated his power to his right foot and took a leap.
He descended to the hollow mask.
*Booom
His fist connencted with the mask of the beast and he released the energy he had gathered all at once causing the hollow to be pushed and skid for like two meters causing dust to rise in the and cover the beast.
"Damn, this all I could gather." He was already panting with exhaustion as he felt he remained with a quarter of his full energy.
"aaarrrrrr." The hollow released an unusual sound which sounded it was in intense pain.
The sound also cleared the dust to show that only a quarter of tiger-like mask had been broken with a human-like face behind it.
"Shit it looks so pissed off." The beast proceeded run towards him and pounce while he stood between the kid and the beast while crossing his arms Infront of himself.
Kaito screamed as he had never felt the level of pain he was feeling now as he was flung and broke into a nearby hut.
He just wanted to lay there all day as he felt the taste of a liquid on his lips and he could blood full in his mouth but he remembered that he was in this situation because of a boy he wanted to protect.
"No good in playing the hero if I we both die and no one survives." So he forced himself to stand up but his vision was not even there as he could only see blurry image and his legs were almost giving up.
He could make out that the hollow was standing over the kid as raised it's paws ready to strike the kid.
"Noooooo." He screamed to the whole world. As though the world had heard him he saw the offending limb of the beast being sliced off.
*shoosh
A figure appeared infront of the beast with a katana drawn out.
"Thanks soul king that I arrived on time." The clearly male unknown shinigami said with relief in his voice.
"aaaarrrr." The hollow again shrieked due to the pain as it looked at the cut off limb and turned towards the shinigami with a pissed off look.
*swish
*slice
There was silence after that as the shinigami sheathed his katana and the beast's body was cleanly cut in half.
"Finally, it's all over." Kaito could not help himself but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Urggh." He vomited blood and soon he felt his world tilt itself upside down and there was darkness.
*Unknown Shinigami pov*
There had been sightings of a massive colony of hollows in the east of rukongai that's why his division was called upon even though they had other duties.
They had travelled to that district but they had arrived to the district to see that it was only lesser hollows but they had still killed all of them except that some had escaped so they had dispatched there strongest seated officers to track down those hollows who were running rampant in soul society.
Tracking lesser hollow was not a difficult thing for him as he had access to shunpō but thhe hollows had run rampant in small groups of five and each of them were separating in different direction from that group when they arrived in some district. It was as if they were buying time for there comrade to get near seireitei which was suspicious as lesser hollow never worked this well together unless they were being commanded by a menos grande which in itself was terrifying to think there was a possibility there was a menos grande.
He had put that aside for his report and continued to pursue while killing those left behind. After slaying the fourth hollow he had sensed an explosion of reiatsu in the nearest district which had him know that there was a battle between the hollow and a soul capable of utilising its reiatsu in that district.
*Swoosh
He arrived to see a hollow standing over a child and he immediately got into action by appearing near the offending limb of the hollow.
*Swoosh
*Slice
He stopped infront of the hollow to examine the kid and he saw no traces of battle.
"aaarrrr." The hollow shrieked in pain and he saw that its mask was quarterly shattered thus he decided to end its misery by fully slicing it off.
*Slice
He watched as the two parts of the hollow fell to the ground and he sheathed his zanpakūto to turn to the kid.
That is when he saw someone hitting the ground and he turned around to see a young man in late teen years unconscious to the ground.
He sensed that his reiryoku was depleted to almost zero and that he was the cause of the explosion of reiatsu from earlier due to the familiarity of his reiryoku and the earlier released reiatsu.
*Some hours later*
"Ughh man, that was such a weird dream." Kaito woke up with a splitting headache.He felt as though a hammer was being brought down to his head by a bodybuilder.
"I see that you finally woke up." A unknown voice sounded to his right.
"Ehhhhh?" He will never admit but he knows that if he had gone an octave higher in his scream even a girl would be unable to compete. Probably they could not compete with his current high pitch tone.
"Ohh kaito-kun, you are finally awake." Kaito heard a coming outside of the two room hut and he saw Mikasa and the kid from earlier in the fight with the hollow enter the hut.
"I was so worried after I learned that you had fought the hollow that had attacked our district." Mikasa siad with a warm smile as she hugged and he returned back.He also returned the smile.
"So it was not a dream, I did fight a hollow." He could not believe that he had his first fight against a being who was equal to the bottom of the cannon folder class and he was handed his ass thoroughly.
"Damn, talk about trying to survive cannon when I can not even survive this fight." He knew he could not blame himself but reinforced his wish that he had been reborn in the far past in order to properly prepare himself.
"Yes and I am impressed you managed to injure the hollow with no formal training." The unknown voice said again and he turned his attention to him again.
He looked like amture version of someone he should know but with a spicky black hair standing at maybe 5ft 10 wearing aregular shikahushō and a katana was sheathed at the left side of his waist with a rectangular cross guard with smooth rounded edges and a dark blue hilt.
"It was nothing and it did not lead to anything in the grand scheme of thing bu a broken mask." Kaito responded with hint of sorrow at his inability to even defeat what he considered the bottom of the food chain.
"Do not underestimate yourself, you defended someone's life and you also bought time for me to arrive." He said with an encouraging as he looked at he little boy who was looking at me with a smile on his face. "You probably are more of a shinigami than some of the people I know." Even Mikasa nodded to that with a proud smile.
"A shinigami, what is a shinigami?" Kaito repeated the name as though questioning but he knew what it was but he wanted to gain information on them to eventually enter their academy.
"Well for short, shinigami are powerful souls who maintains the balance of souls among the three worlds." The shinigami responded with a finger on his lips as if he was contemplating saying more than he had but he stopped himself.
"Can us normal souls obtain the power of a shingami?" He asked while looking at his bandaged hands.
"Yes normal souls can become shinigami when they develop enough reiryoku which you have already developed as I can sense.So you are interested in becoming a shinigami?" The shinigami asked with a knowing smile on his face.
"Yes." He responded while looking upfrom his hands to the shinigami.
"That's good. In three months the academy will be recruiting rukongai citizens to be part of the Gotei 13. So be ready in 3 months to travel to the 1st Rukongai district as it will be there that the academy will start recruiting." The shinigami said with a smile as he turned around ready to leave.
"So I will take my leave as you have already recovered Kaito-san." The shinigami prepared to leave as he bowed to Mikasa and the child.
"Hey wait isn't it rude to no tell me your name? If you know mine." He asked with some annoyance at someone knowing his name while he knew nothing about them.
"Oh sorry, my name is Kaien Shiba." He said with a smile as he vanished immediately after that.
*Swish
"Of course how could I not see the fabled resemblance between him and the protagonist." This was intself a hint he should have caught on from the beginning as many people in the show had already pointed it out.
"At least this means that I have at least more than 50 years of preparation."
Our MC finally meets one of the characters in the show and we got our first fight.
Also I have decided to include romance in this story (as for me a good story at least needs to have one of those) with only two shinigami girls to our MC(realistically Bleach girls are the best and for me as a healthy male. I would try my chance with multiple of them but to make the story relistic and to stay on the plot I have made them 2 with one already decided) and I think the bleach world would allow it with it having noble houses.
Decided wife/girlfriend
Kukaku Shiba (They are few stories about her and I want to make this unique).
