Ichigo's Random Summons
Greetings, everyone, it is I, MR. DEATH RIDER, returning with yet another interesting story. But before we start, I would like to point a few things. My previous story, Mahou Sensei Ichigo!, has not been abandoned. It is simply on a writer's block and hiatus. Now the main cause for why I never updated it is that I had at least 4 chapters planned out and ahead of my latest chapter. My latest chapter was #14, titled as Chisame and Chiu. Meaning I had chapters 15-18 ready. However, at that time, my laptop from then crashed on me. Nothing could be restored. After reformatting it, as I went through getting back to where I was, another issue popped up; my keyboard stopped working. That was so frustrating at the time, especially when I was in college. So, you could say I lost all my motivation at writing. I also had other stories planned back then, most of which have been lost and forgotten. However, due to certain events of late *coughs*CCP Virus*coughs*, I have slowly found my motivation again. I cannot say when I will get back into Mahou Sensei Ichigo! again, but I assure you it hasn't been abandoned. Now let's focus on this new story.
Summary:
Ichigo achieved his goal of becoming a normal person after defeating Aizen. However, he finds out that it isn't as he imagined as regret clouds his conscious as he is forced to watch his friends leave class to sort out problems with Hollows. However, all changes when by some FATE, he meets a crazy old man who gifts him a small box. A small box holding 13 gold tarot-like cards. Each card being different from the other…

Chapter 1 – Zabaniya - Delusional Poison Part 1
Ichigo sighed once again. The cause of his sigh was his classmate and friend, Uryuu Ishida, standing up abruptly and dashing out of the class with a weak apology. Their Biology teacher could only blink in response, before shaking his head and ignoring it. Ishida could afford a few days like this due to him being the top of their year. And the reason to the Quincy's sudden departure was due to him, along with a few others in the class, sensing and hearing the roars of pain, hunger and suffering; a Hollow.
The orange haired teen rubbed his face a little. It had been only 4 months since his climatic battle with the traitorous Shinigami, Sosuke Aizen. The battle came at a cost though, with his powers as a Vizard, a Shinigami with Hollow abilities. Using the Saigo no Getsuga Tenshou, meant Ichigo had to sacrifice all of his powers and Reiatsu to defeat the deranged ex-captain. Henceforth, his life was now completely normal, no longer able to see the spirits of the dearly departed.
At first, Ichigo thought this was all he wanted. He hated dealing with some of the eccentric Spirits, especially when they knew he could see them. But Ichigo was now slowly starting to hate this normal life. Well, not hate it, but he was getting anxious. He wished he could be there with his friends and help defend his hometown. Hell, he even missed the playful banter between him and his short, raven-haired Shinigami friend, Rukia Kuchiki.
But despite being powerless, he still visited the Urahara Shoten occasionally. Despite the teasing that his teachers gave him, especially the nudity of one Yoruichi Shihouin, Ichigo mostly visited them since they didn't treat him like fragile glass like most of his friends. And he mostly visited to train hand-to-hand combat or kendo with his teachers. Slowly improving his skills.
It was during these visits that he was joined by the one friend who treated him like normal, his oldest and closest friend, Tatsuki. After training for a month and half, Tatsuki decided to crash the training and join him, but mostly sparred with Yoruichi due to her being a martial artist student. And occasionally the two childhood friends would train with each other and gave off playful banter.
This banter helped Ichigo slowly get out of his funk/depression and start to reconnect with Tatsuki again. It was then he found out that he found out his old friend had literally beaten the shit out of his friends, mostly Chad and Uryuu, as both had come sheepishly to apologize to him afterwards for treating him like he was glass. Though Ichigo couldn't help but laugh at what Uryuu's face looked like: swollen upper lip, broken nose and blacked eye. Chad on the other hand was nursing a few broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder. He found out that the second strongest under 20 women in all of Japan had then had a serious talk with Orihime, before banning her from healing their friends.
Seeing this, Ichigo took note not to piss off Tatsuki. Especially since she could somewhat use her powers, and during their occasional spars in the massive underground chamber, Urahara had placed a seal, or limiter, onto Tatsuki, so as to not unconsciously use her powers on Ichigo. And for that, the Kurosaki was grateful to him. He had seen what happened to a few rocks during her and Yoruichi's "friendly" spars. Well not exactly see the spar itself, but the results on the area. Apparently, Tatsuki had fire-like abilities.
After a few hours, the final school bell rung out. Ichigo then lazily stood up and packed his stuff, before slinging his bag over his shoulder. As he headed to the main entrance of the school, he noticed Uryuu by Orihime and Chad. Despite not seeing it, he could tell the healer was fixing up Uryuu's right arm. He then walked over to them, nodding at Tatsuki as she stepped in beside him.
"Yo, Ishida. What happened?" Ichigo asked, stopping just next to Chad. The giant half Japanese half Mexican just grunted in acknowledging Ichigo.
"Tch! Damn Hollow could duplicate itself… had I known about that, I wouldn't have been so careless." The Quincy grumbled as he slowly moved his arm, checking it to see if it was working. He then turned to look at Orihime, a small and grateful smile appearing on his face. "Thank you, Inoue-san, I don't know what any of us would do without your help."
The orange haired healer blushed and waved her arms, which had the added effect of making her rather large bust bounce up and down in her shirt. This caused the Quincy to avert his eyes. Mostly for not looking like a pervert and to not anger the other girl with them.
"Not at all, Ishida-kun! It's the only way I'm of help to all of you!" Was her response. She then sent a shy look towards the other orange haired person in their group, an action only Tatsuki saw. Said girl could only shake her head at this.
"Well just make sure you stay on guard from now on, Ishida. Next time you sense a Hollow as strong as this one, have Chad join you." Ichigo responded. This statement made the group to widen their eyes a little. The group could all agree on this; Ichigo without his powers had matured a bit, especially considering how hot-headed he was.
After some more talk, the group went their separate ways to their homes, save for Tatsuki and Ichigo. Ichigo looked over at her and chuckled a little. "You do know that Karin and Yuzu are gonna be happy to know you're coming over. Hell, Yuzu was about to go and get ingredients to make your favourite meal had it not been for Karin, Oyaji and I stopping her." He chuckled more as he shakes his head fondly.
Tatsuki's cheeks reddened a little at this. A sheepish smile appeared on her face at this. "I still don't know why she's like that. It's been years since we last spent time with each other and she acts like I'm a sister. I'm kinda jealous." She admitted. What she wouldn't admit that she was starting to regain her old feelings for the male next to her.
"If that's the case, why don't you two marry? That way, you become A sister~."
At this, both Ichigo and Tatsuki stopped and spun around, their faces going red. Though Tatsuki mostly from anger and embarrassment. And the person they both stared at made them both pause.
Before them was an old man, appearing in his late-50s to mid-60s. He had a full grey beard that went a few inches beneath his chin that also connected with his sideburns. His hair was slightly longer than Ichigo's, with a few strands going over his wrinkled forehead. The most distinguishing features were his bright, red eyes. Red eyes that were glowing unnaturally. Then the added fact that he was wearing black coat over a greyish-black business shirt and long black pants, sent warning bells through the two teenagers.
The old man then chuckled and raised both his hands to appease the two. "Relax, young ones. I ain't here to fight or mock. Nor am I here to do harm." He added, his eyes gazing intently at Tatsuki whilst he had a grin on his face.
"You say that, yet I can sense a weird aura from you, geezer." Tatsuki responded back rudely. Normally, she wasn't this disrespectful, however the aura he gave, as well as his power, was making her on edge. Even Ichigo was on guard, despite not able to sense anything. But he did trust his friend and her instincts.
"Never mind you that, girly. I'm actually here for your potential boyfriend over there." He grins more, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he took satisfaction at both teens spluttering and denying the fact. Oh, how he loved messing with people. He then shakes his head as he took out a small golden and ornate box, big enough to put a smartphone in, and held it out to Ichigo. "This 'ere is for you. You'll be needing this in the future, especially with the dangers I can sense coming." He added, his smile regressing, his lips becoming a thin line.
Taking note at how serious, Ichigo folds his arms over his chest and eyed him suspiciously. "And do pray tell why I should trust you and your intentions, old man? You coming out of your way to us is shady as hell, and then that cryptic message?" Ichigo replied back. He would only blink as he noticed the man's expression going from serious to a smirk.
"You're right to be suspicious of me, kid. Normally, I don't interfere, but I'm bored of watching the same outcomes here. So why not add some extra flavour to a story and see how it unfolds? Besides, it be a good opportunity for you to get your powers back~" With that said, he smirked more at the widening of both of them widening their eyes.
Now Ichigo was more hesitant and conflicted. He won't lie, he missed his powers and was starting to hate this normal life. But then he frowned more. Glancing to his left, he could see Tatsuki had come to a similar conclusion. He decided not to ask him how he knew of his powers.
"And who exactly are you?"
The old man grinned more as he spread his arms to the sides, "Why I am Zelretch, and Zelretch means me~!", and then proceeded to give them both a mocking bow. He then thrust the box into the surprised teen's hands, smirking more as he saw a faint red mark appear on Ichigo's right hand, before stepping back. "Now you take good care of those and pray to whatever god you have to be lucky with who answers you~ But it doesn't matter to me, for the results will definitely be amusing~ Ha ha ha!" And with that said, a portal appeared behind Zelretch, before stepping back and disappearing from them both.
Ichigo and Tatsuki could only gape in shock and confusion, before turning to look at each other.
"What the hell just happened?!"
"What the hell did you get roped into now, Ichigo?"
Later that night, after bidding Tatsuki farewell, Ichigo could only sit on his bed as he stared at the small golden box. Both decided not to say anything for the time being, deciding it would be better that they had more info before letting the others know. But for some reason, Ichigo felt drawn to the box, like something was calling out to him. Shaking his head, he grabbed a towel and headed to the bathroom for a shower.
After around 20 minutes, Ichigo returned and sat on his bed and pulled the box to him and decided to test Murphy by opening the lid. He then blinked as what he saw was the inside being a red velvet material covering the inside. And in the middle was a stack of gold cards. He then took them out and counted them, taking not that there 13 cards. And each had different designs on them.
The first had what looked like a figure in full medieval armour, with either long hair or helmet tassel coming out of the back of the helmet. It was carrying a broadsword in a upright position before its body while standing tall in a proud manner.
The second was a woman wearing a long skirt with armoured boots, chest and gauntlets. Two quivers full of arrows were strapped to her waist, along with a short sword. She was standing at the ready with a bow in her hands, a arrow noosed and ready to be fired.
The next was a man from what looked like he was from the 1600s, wearing strange leggings. Well, strange to Ichigo. He had a armoured chest plate and his left arm was fully armoured while his right was the opposite. He had a large hat on his head, covering his eyes, and two feathers sticking into it. And in his left hand was a spear longer than he was tall.
The fourth was that of a man with a large sword attached to his waist, his chest and arms in full medieval armour while he stood in what looked like a chariot. He was controlling his chariot with the reigns in his right hand and either a lance or spear in his left hand.
The fifth one reminded Ichigo a bit of the old man who had given him the box with cards; a man in mage robes with a tome in his left hand and a staff in his right hand.
The next card is what caught Ichigo's curiosity the most, for he could feel like he was drawn to this card more than the others. It showed a shirtless man with two large daggers, one in each hand. He also had a skull mask covering his face.
The seventh card had Ichigo cringing a bit. It revealed some kind of humanoid creature with a wolf-like head with large horns growing from the back of its head and carrying a massive sword. The reason for his wincing was due to how it slightly reminded him of his Hollowfied form due to the horns.
The next card made Ichigo raised his right eyebrow at this. It revealed the depiction of a saint-like woman holding a scale in her left hand and some kind of sword in her right hand.
The ninth card made him raise his eyebrows even further. It depicted a man chained down and sealed, almost to what he would think Aizen would look like now.
The next card depicted two jester like girls, one in red and white and standing upright whilst the other being grey and black while upside down. It kind of reminded him to the Yin and Yang symbol.
The next card was more unique as it had two different images, one on each side. On the front, it depicted a woman using some kind of want on a crystal while wearing a weird black cloak with a school girl uniform. Except the face was blacked out completely. On the other side, depicted another woman doing the same, but with key differences; she had no wand, was wearing some kind of dress/robe and had two large horns growing out the sides of her head.
The twelfth one revealed a girl standing behind a large shield, the shield raised as if to embrace a attack.
The final one was odder as it depicted a humanoid figure wearing a robe that cloaked the face in shadows, white eyes glowing from beneath while the lower torso and legs looked almost like a galaxy.
After examining in each card, he put all of them, save for one with the shirtless man dual wielding the daggers. He couldn't explain why, but he had some connection to it. Weirder still was that there were strange words entering his mind, but he shook his head. He then placed the card on top of the box and switched his light off, before climbing into his bed and closing his eyes.
Ichigo would notice that he was in his Inner World. But something was different. Instead of the towering skyscrapers that dotted his mindscape, there was a large field full of flowers. Flowers of different kinds and colours. He then noticed that in one specific area, the flowers were withering and dying.
He then knelt down by them and inspected them closely, noticing that there was some kind of liquid. As he was about to touch said liquid, a gentle voice filled his mind.
"Don't. Please don't touch it. I don't want you to be poisoned because of me."
Ichigo spun around, but saw no one. He frowned heavily, not hearing or noticing anything different. He then decided to ignore the warning and touch the liquid. He flinched as it felt like his skin was burning, almost like touching a hot pot that's been on the stove for a long time without protection.
Other than that, nothing else happened except for hearing a shocked gasp. He spun around again, and again he saw nothing.
"You… you touched my poison… and didn't die. You must be the one. The special person I've been waiting for all this time…"
Again, the voice filled his mind, this time closer. But still Ichigo could not sense or see the owner of the voice.
"Who are you?" He asked, hoping to get an answer. He would then feel something wrap around him, almost like a invisible person hug him from behind.
However, no answer came, just soft sobbing. But it was more like a person crying in relief than despair. And just before he could get a answer, a loud ringing filled his mind.
As his alarm went off, he would not notice his right hand glowing as the red mark started to form a symbol. A symbol that took in the form of a knife, a mask and bow.
Ichigo could only blink as he stood in the bathroom, toothbrush almost falling from his mouth. The reason? He had just noticed the strange symbol on his hand. Frowning, he then got soap and begun rubbing his hand furiously, but to no avail.
After spitting the toothpaste and water out of his mouth, he rubbed his left hand over his face. His frown was in full place as he headed down to the living room, grumbling slightly as he backhanded his father's attempted sneak attack. Noticing her brother's dark mood, Karin could only shake her head. It seems their father did something more to upset him.
After finishing breakfast, Ichigo left his house, but instead of heading towards his school, he headed to the opposite direction. His destination being that of the Urahara Shoten. He fished his phone out and sent a text to his friends that he was skipping school today and left it at that. As he put his phone back, he absentmindedly rubbed the golden card in his pocket as he began his way to the eccentric scientist's abode.
Ichigo sat opposite of Kisuke Urahara, frowning as he allowed the ex-Shinigami Captain investigate his right hand. Next to him was the dark skinned Yoruichi snacking on a sandwich while she watched with a raised eye. Just as Kisuke was about to say something, his giant of a shop assistant entered carrying a tray with steaming tea on it. He placed each cup in front of them before taking a seat next to Kisuke.
"So, tell me again, Kurosaki-san, but how did you get these tattoo marks?" The shop owner asked as he stared at Ichigo, his green and white striped hat basking his upper face in shadows.
"That's what I would like to know. They must have appeared last night while I was sleeping. It could have appeared while I had that weird dream last night." Ichigo answered, before going into full detail about his dream.
This caused Kisuke to rub his stubbled chin a bit, whilst Yoruichi gave the orange an amused grin. "Even without your powers, you still attract weird things, ne Ichi-boya~"
Ichigo shot a annoyed look at his mentor, before shaking his head. "I can't explain it, but this all happened after that weird ass man shoved a box into my hands. This is what was in it." He then placed the card for the three to see.
As Kisuke moved to pick the card up, lightning shot out and zapped his hand, making him pull it back. Rubbing it, he gained a thoughtful look.
"Curious. It seems whoever this man is, has made it so only you can touch or hold these cards. Did he leave you and Arisawa-san a name?"
"He did, something like Zelretch or Zelkratch, something along those lines. Recognize the name, Geta-boshi?"
"Can't say I have. And his way of leaving, it sounds far-fetched, but its possible this man came from an alternate reality. That portal you described, it's not one I know of. But I do know that those colours mean it's some kind of alternate timeline or reality. Like a kaleidoscope, if you must."
With that said, there was long silence. Even Yoruichi was being quiet. Ichigo then rubbed his face once more before looking at the shop keeper. "So, what do you suggest I do, Geta-boshi? I have no powers, a card that can only be touched by me, weird marks on my hand and a strange dream where another being is in my mindscape?"
Kisuke shook his head at this. "Honestly, Kurosaki-san, I'm in the dark as much as you. It's possible that these cards are from another dimension, or reality, than our own."
With that said, Ichigo could only nod. It was frustrating that no help could be said. Or done. He then drained his cu, thanked Tessai, then left. No point in sticking around, so he made his way towards the cemetery.
Back at the school, Uryuu, Tatsuki, Orihime and Chad's heads shot up as they sensed a powerful Hollow appearing in Karakura. And it came from the direction of the local cemetery. And they all realized who could be there when they received a message about a certain carrot top not coming to the school.
Meanwhile, Ichigo cursed his luck as he dodged between the many tombstones. Of all the times for a Hollow to attack would be when he was completely vulnerable, alone and powerless. His instincts saved him at the last second as a crater appeared where he stood not a few seconds early, making him sweat from nervousness and some fear.
"Fuck me! Fuck me! Fuck me! FUCK ME!"
While he could not hear or see it, he knew the Hollow was getting frustrated at not being able to catch him. However, his luck ran out as he tripped over some of the debris, landing on his backside. He looked up, fear in his eyes as he knew the Hollow was before him.
"KUSSO! GUYS, ANYBODY! I COULD REALLY USE SOME HELP GODDAMNIT!"
With that shout, he suddenly clutched his right hand in pain, biting back a pained scream. While he held his hand, he never noticed his pocket glowing before the card disappeared. As this happened, both the Hollow and Ichigo gazed at a sudden red circle appearing between them, the Hollow backing away cautiously as Ichigo gazed in shock as the circle begun to glow brightly.
It was at this time that Ichigo's friends had arrived. Uryuu had his Quincy bow out and ready to fire his arrows, Chad having his left arm covered in a red and black material, Tatsuki with two dragon-like gauntlets on her arms and Orihime with her hairpins glowing.
But like Ichigo and the Hollow, they could only stare in shock as short, ash-skinned girl with light purple hair appeared from the middle of the circle. Her clothing was almost skimpy as she wore what looked like black stockings that reached her hips, black fingerless gloves that reached halfway up her arms towards her elbows, a open, sleeveless dress that left her middle open, showing off the cleavage of her medium sized breasts. Even the sides from her midriff up to her shoulders were exposed. A brown bandage-like belt wrapped around the middle of her right thigh. But it was the human skull-like mask that covered her face that was disturbing.
The mask reminded them of a Hollow mask, except it revealed her mouth and chin. And the mask's features showed an irritated disdain, though her face didn't show it. She was kneeling before Ichigo, gazing at him intently. But it was unknown why to Ichigo. However, before she could say anything, the Hollow roared, making the girl turn her head to look at disrupted her greeting.
Amethyst-purple eyes narrowed dangerously as she glared at the Hollow, knives appearing in her hands from motes of light. She then disappeared, too fast for even the Quincy to follow, before appearing above the Hollow's head. To Ichigo, it was like she teleported in thin air.
The Hollow was too slow as it felt a number of daggers penetrate the back of its head, some slicing through its head and out its mask. After a few seconds, the girl landed before Ichigo, her back turned on the Hollow as it disintegrated into dust particles. She then knelt before Ichigo one more and opened her mouth to speak at last. And Ichigo would widen his eyes as it was the voice from his dream.
"Servant, Assassin Class, answering your request… Everything, everything, everything as you would will it. I will offer myself to you. This body, this heart, ALL of it… I offer to you. By your will, I will become world's greatest poison. But you, you alone, I will not harm… I am your shadow, your guardian, your EVERYTHING… and I offer it all to you, Master…"
The five teenagers could only look in shock as the now identified Assassin introduced herself. The two girls also had slight blushes on their faces from the sheer devotion Assassin said to Ichigo. Especially when she said she'd offer her body and heart.
Ichigo, on the other hand, was doing a really good job at imitating a goldfish, his eyes wide as saucers. This random girl appeared out of nowhere, killed a Hollow with ease, and basically proclaimed he was her master and offered herself up to him. Only one word could be said, the same word on everyone's minds save for Assassin herself:
"WHAT!?"
*END OF CHAPTER*
So Ichigo has summoned his first Servant, one of the Hassashim. Serenity to be precise. As for those who are asking, this story was inspired by my liking of the mobile game Fate/Grand Order. It was also inspired by The Saga of Shirou's Summons by Pallan Minerva. But I'm not going to follow the same direction as Pallan. I'm first going to have Ichigo be introduced to the many Servants, before carrying with the next part of the story. So, don't be too surprised if you see the next many chapters to start the same way as this one.
