Chapter 2: "Why Me Sad"


Ichigo looked stoic to the new look of Ginjo Kugo. He frowned more than usual, reminded him of a more twisted version of his own Fullbring and that form he took to protect Inoue on the roof of Las Noches. For Kurosaki it was strange to feel his own Reiatsu emanating from another person. The spiritual pressure of the leader of Xcution was practically equal to that of Ichigo using Tensa Zangetsu.

Ichigo stood on guard. He activated the offensive variety of Blut, if he intended to kill him this time he should go with everything. He needed to end Ginjo quickly, then kill Tsukishima. 'I hope that killing Tsukishima, will end the Book Of The End ... This is my only chance to return everyone to normal. I will not waste it! '

"I can not believed that you have forced me to this point ...to the point of using my Bankai ... The Fullbring I gave you increased your base strength. I knew that would happen, but I never imagined you strengthen this far. You Really are a monster, Kurosaki!" Kugo said from his position in the air.

"What the hell are you saying?! ... Bankai? ... Are you trying to imply that-" Ichigo yelled confused. Kugo interrupted him laughing so loudly.

"Yes ... That person I told you about the first time you went to the barracks of Xcution, who had the powers of both a Shinigami and a human, that person like you ... was ME! ... The first Substitute Shinigami Ginjo Kugo!" Ginjo snapped. He let the information settle down a bit in the mind of the orange hair Quincy and continued his speech.

"Kurosaki, when they'll gave you the replacement badge, they'll probably say something like this; 'If the Substitute Shinigami is considered to be beneficial to the Soul Society, we hand over this badge' ... Listen well, Kurosaki That's a lie ... More correctly ... If someone is beneficial or detrimental to the Soul Society has nothing to do. The passes combat are delivered to all equally. The official name for the combat pass is Daikōshō Shinigami Daikō. It certifies that one has permission to perform duties as a Shinigami Daiko in the world of the living."

"I know that," Ichigo said, softly while using Hirenkyaku to appear in the air in front of Ginjo.

"But at some point, did you ever felt that authority?" the Fullbringer asked.

Kurosaki's eyes widened in surprise as he recalled the moment when he first met with Imoyama-san. The officer did not recognize the thirteenth division insignia. He had never been informed of the combat pass, or about the Substitute Shinigami ... "Are you saying that the Combat Pass has another function" Ichigo questioned the first Shinigami Daiko.

"Yes. The function of the combat pass is: to monitor and control! ...Thanks to the combat pass, Soul Society is able to maintain constant record of your whereabouts and allow them to control your Reiatsu ... at least while you have the combat pass near you that is." Kugo said. " ...did you ever wondered ... Why your Reiatsu that goes awry when you're hectic, and even when you are in your Shinigami form, it never had any effect when you're in your human body? And when you used your combat pass to produce your Fullbring, your own Spiritual Pressure sprang from your combat pass? Why during your Fullbring training, you heard the voices of friends through the combat pass?

The combat Pass is a device that communicates with the Soul Society, absorbing your Reiatsu, then analyzing and controlling it. They have given the combat pass to you, in order for the Soul Society can watch you and control you. Not that you never have seemed strange. You just let those doubts in the back of your mind. 'The people with whom you linked in battles you never would do that.' You did not want you to believe that they would do that, Ichigo ... I'll tell you. The man who thought all this plan is ... " He paused and smiled wickedly." Ukitake Juushirou ... Captain of the Thirteenth Squad! "

"Ukitake-san ..." Ichigo said, looking down. His orange hair covering his eyes from the sight of others.

"We were deceived by the man who loves peace among the Gotei Thirteen! Ichigo!" The Xcution leader exclaimed. "Its aim is to use us, watch us and control us, like pawns of Soul Society, and eliminate us if we resist!"

Ishida monitored the conversation. Ginjo Kugo seemed tried to make Kurosaki join him, presenting him with a strong fact, about the persons who Ichigo's most trusted, leaving Ichigo with the only option. For him to join forces with Xcution. 'This is bad!' He said in his mind. "Kurosaki!" 'No way Kurosaki can face these truths in its current state'

"Everyone in the Soul Society know this! They abandon you and let you to die, Ichigo!" Kugo roared. He hoped that knowing the truth Ichigo would join him against the Soul Society.

"Don't listen to him, Kurosaki!" Uryuu could not let Ichigo join Xcution against Soul Society. While Ishida did not like Soul Reapers (except Kuchiki-san and Abarai), going for blind revenge was certain death.

"SHUT UP!" Ichigo shouted, dramatically increasing the production of Reiatsu and consequently collection of Reishi, with its denser and sharp spiritual weapon. Blut also won its greatest power and spread throughout his torso and arms. His spiritual pressure could be felt all over the place.

"Did the truth bothered you so much, to cause such a reaction on your part? ... What do you get from that? ...hide the reality from your eyes again?" The bearer of the Cross of Scaffold said mockingly.

"Shut up ... That was for you. But what I said before ... That was for Ishida. 'Do not listen, Kurosaki' my ass, shut up. Mind your own business!" The orange-haired explained dull.

"Kurosaki ..." Uryuu said analyzing Ichigo. Kurosaki was apparently not interested in teaming up with people who threatened them and played with family and friends. Kurosaki was back to his usual self. Ichigo went on to explain his reasoning.

"I also thought what Ukitake-san told me sounded weird ... But I would not believe it. I did not want to suspect Ukitake-san. That's why I always kept those thoughts in the back of my mind. But then I realized something ... I ask myself:.. 'Why did i suspected Ukitake-san' ... Ukitake-san is smarter than me If he really planning to trick me, he would do it in a way that I did not realize. But Ukitake- san give me the Pass Combat with that explanation and I could suddenly tell that the Pass Combat did not have a function. I guess Ukitake-san allowed me to realize that. And purposely left me to realized it and make a decision."

"Regarding what? To have discovered that he will not allow you to take any decision." Ginjo interrupted.

"I made my decision, I chose the way of protecting others. I wanted to ... I wanted the power to protect all kinds of people, all the time. When I lost my powers I remembered that feeling. Rukia gave me the power that sought to protect people ... Apparently the Soul Society is not interested in my situation any more, but I do not care, those Quincy gave me the power I need to protect my loved ones and that's what I'll do. I will protect my friends and fight you, Ginjo! "Kurosaki said.

"Tsk ... And there goes negotiations. Even if you were to join the wrong said, your will still fight for justice. Your arrogance knows no bounds. You will regret joining them as you have regret joining me. Now you leave me no choice! I did not want to kill you." Ginjo pointed his Fullbring at Ichigo.

"I have nothing else to say to you. Let's start Ginjo ... Let's hurry and finish this." Ex-Fullbringer said "You talk a lot for being a brat." Kugo replied.


Forest in Naruto-Shi


Steps sounded ... The sound of boots hitting the ground at high speed.

Orihime Inoue was forcing as much as she could her long delicate legs, to reach as quickly as possible to where she felt Kurosaki-kun was fighting. It was a surprise she had been wanting to feel its protective Reiatsu again, but now that she fell it, it was all wrong. It was always this sea of power that characterized the orange-haired boy, she also felt that security and protectionism always. But now it felt weak, desperate, full of frustration and fear.

'Why do I feel sad? And ... confused?' Her lungs were killing the life out of her being, she was not very used to running and could not be proud of her athletic abilities, despite being a black belt in karate. Still, she kept running without slowing down a bit.

'Kurosaki-kun was crying' she could feel it. In his little Reiatsu, but did not understand the reason for his crying. 'Why?Kurosaki-kun and Tsukishima-san are good friends! Why have everything gone this way? 'she wondered in his mind.

'I like Tsukishima-san. He was always there, long before i knew Kurosaki-kun. He was nice to me. Always protected me! I always admired him. I want to do everything you ask me to do. If by Tsukishima-san, I would not mind giving my life. That's what I thought, but ... 'tears began to escape her face.

'Why? ... Why do I feel so much pain when Kurosaki-kun ... is crying?' The pain in my chest increased with each passing second, her tears began to come out of control.

"It's painful ... It is unbearable! ... My head, my body, my stomach ... Everything hurts me! 'She increased her speed regardless of the protests of her legs, imploring her to stop and take a break.

'Do not cry, Kurosaki-kun ... Do not cry! ... Do not cry, please!' She tried to scream. The voice did not come out of her throat, though she tried, she could not.

She ran a few meters and stopped in front of the Tsukishima mansion. Standing in the air above the mansion, Ichigo and Ginjo was facing seemed ready to fight. But she could care less about it, the girl who can deny reality. 'How good! Kurosaki-kun is not crying 'Inoue thought with a smile glued to her face, tears still streaming down her delicate and beautiful face, but they were tears of happiness. Yes, Kurosaki-kun Reiatsu is back to what it was before the slaughter in the Winter War, but much more controlled and less dark.

'Ishida-Kun and a few friends ... Ishida-kun, I think ... They're here to stop Kurosaki-kun!' Inoue thought hopefully, the boy she loved and his friend could return to good terms once again.

"Something is not right ..." Sado-kun said softly. Orihime gave a little jump of surprise. For a moment she forgot the gentle giant's coming along. "Why are all of them ...on the side of Ichigo ... ?! They are not here to stop him...? It-it seems as if ... They want to kill Ginjo!"

"What wrong ... with you two," said Tsukishima as he appears behind them while using Light Bringer. "Is there something ... about your past that you are not sure about?"

"Tsukishima ... san" Inoue and Chad turned their view to Shukuro with a puzzled look on their faces.

"How strange ... You do not trust your memories with me?" Tsukishima wanted to play with their minds and break them. That would infuriate Ichigo and distracting him from the fight and because of this his senses will cloud with rage. "Who protected you from your parents and raised you? Orihime!. Chad ... Who gave you that pendant? The answer to both questions is ... I! is not that right? And to think that you- "

"Tsukishima!" Ginjo cried, from its position towards them, "Do not give them more details, or they will become useless to us. Do you remember how many people you corrupted that way, don't you?" He scolded his companion. Really he hated when he did that, and if he was not careful Kurosaki would kill without mercy ... Well he already wanted to do that.

"Aaaahhh ... Aaaahhhh ... I feel really weird ... I'm alive thanks to Tsukishima-san ... B-But" Orihime stammered as she writhed, her mind was in really bad shape. "I, I trust ... I trust Tsukishima-san" Sado was in a similar state.

"Damn ..." Ginjo muttered , he could feel the massive increase of Ichigo's Reiatsu, he was clearly angry. This was not at all good. Kugo was using his Bankai, but Kurosaki easily equaled or surpassed in sheer power.

Shukuro enjoyed the show, damaging the minds of his victims was so entertaining, not so much as read a good book, but it was good enough. Tsukishima smiled as he felt the anger rising from the orange man, if he carried his movements would become predictable and that would make it easier to leave the place.

The Fullbringer was distracted enough to not notice the appearance of two people behind Orihime Inoue and Sado Yasutora. Those people were the two Quincy men who had helped Ichigo. Haschwalth and Bazz-B. They took the advantage that the two friends of Kurosaki have their guard down to knock them out with a blow to the back of the neck. Being unconscious will save them from suffering.

Haschwalth took Orihime's arms to prevent her from hitting the ground. Bazz climbed Chad onto his shoulders for the same purpose. "Uh ... I think you're taking the best part, Jugo..." muttered the Quincy with red hair while using Hirenkyaku both of them disappeared with Orihime and Yasutora at tow. They were taken to the roof of the mansion a little away from the fight, they would be safe there until Kurosaki and Ishida finished to eliminate their enemies.

Tsukishima attempt to jump with Light Bringer to pursue the Quincy, but stopped when a sharp pain ran through his body, his chest beginning a wave of unbearable heat as assault. He quickly discovered that it was almost impossible to breathe, your airways are flooded with blood.

The bearer of the Book Of The End took the hand to the source of his sudden suffering, the center of his chest. He couldn't feel it, instead of touching his skin, he found a void, a hole where his heart is supposed to be. No bleeding, the wound was cauterized. It was somewhat ironic. All Fullbringers are partly Hollow, because before birth they scored Hollow Reiatsu ... now he even had a hole like a Hollow. Blood leaked from his mouth. His consciousness was clouded, he could not believe it. He was going to die.

Tsukishima with all the strength he had left, looked up searching for his attacker. Before collapsing, he could see the spiritual bow used to shoot the arrow that had pierced in the chest. The bow was made of a bright color black with a electric blue line traveling across its length and had a wingspan of about two feet from tip to tip. He was also able to slightly see the orange hair detail owner of such bow. The Fullbringer lost consciousness and with a thud, collapsed on the floor.


A few seconds before...


Kurosaki could not take it anymore, he will not stand idly by and watching as his dear friends get hurt, not forgive what Tsukishima was doing. It was one thing to use him and hurt him, but quite another to try to harm his precious beloved friends.

Ichigo undid his spiritual weapon and using the same Reishi he thought of a bow of black metal. It would be the first time in his life he would use one. He firmly took the bow in his left hand and with his right hand clenched the rope, brought huge amounts spiritual particles between his fingers and formed a solid black arrow with blue spiritual energy around it.

He pointed to the one who dared to mess with his family and peers. He let the projectile go. The combination of excessive amount of Reishi gathered the arrow and increased power offered by the Blut, it caused the arrow to travel faster than a bullet and hit Tsukishima hard against his chest. The power of the arrow was enough to leave a sizeable hole in his chest and cauterize the wound, it also destroyed much of the ground behind the Fullbringer, leaving a large crater in the ground.

Ichigo frown deepened, he really was bad using the bow and arrow. He had aimed at the head of the bastard of Tsukishima and the holy arrow ended about thirty or forty centimeters below. 'No matter ... anyway he was going to die ... there is no way of surviving an injury like that ... not without the help of Inoue,' He returned to forge his spiritual weapon and faced Ginjo who was shock of his speed.

Ishida Uryuu looked puzzled at his best friend. Did he just use one Heilig Bogen close to perfection? ... He even hit on the first shot and the power of that Heilig Pfeil was easily comparable with that used by state Uryuu Letz Stil. His speed of learning things was absurd! Uryuu took several years to make one single Heilig Bogen stable when he was a beginner and then could barely make a simple Kojaku. It was not until after the winter war that he achieve to make a solid Holy bow (Not counting when he put the Sanreishuto) ... and Kurosaki did it without any apparent effort, he did not even have ten minutes fighting like a Quincy! Ichigo had always been a quick learner.

"What are you saying, Kurosaki? ..." Ishida stopped. Kurosaki seemed determined to end Kugo unaided, his eyes shone slightly in blue under the influence of Reiryoku Ichigo, that always was his determination to achieve a goal was huge. "... I understand, he is all yours." Uryuu said as he disappeared in a burst of Hirenkyaku, he went to the location of the other three monks of Destruction. For once he hope that he could fight alongside Ichigo but this was not the place or time.

Ishida was pulled from his thoughts by the voice of Ichigo "Ishida, stand aside. I'll handle this myself."

Ichigo rushes towards Ginjo, he bring his spiritual weapon with the intention of slicing into two the white-haired man. Kugo raised his Fullbring in an attempt to stop the sword of the young orange haired. Sparks flew from the impact point between their swords. Kurosaki attacked again and again increasing the speed of his attacks and applying more force with each stroke of his sword.

Kugo was being pushed on the defensive. Both the power and speed of Ichigo were enough to overwhelm him, he could barely block the attacks! The absurdity size Cross of Scaffold was not serving him well.

Ginjo moved away from Kurosaki using his Light Bringer, he needed space if he thought to fight someone so quickly.

"Why are you backing away? ..." Asked Ichigo "Maybe ... you're afraid of losing sight of me ...if you approach me? ... That only makes sense when you're fighting with someone who has the same strength as you ... Doing that with me makes no sense."

Kugo felt a hand touching his chest. Kurosaki was in front of him, with his right hand on Ginjo's chest . "See? I can even get to your heart in this way," Ichigo smiled, he always wanted to try that with someone. Now he felt how disappointed Aizen really felt back then, when he first fought him in the fake Karakura Town.

Ginjo tried to cut the orange-haired boy in half with his sword. His Fullbring hit Ichigo's right side rib, but it did not leave any wound.

The Fullbringer panicked, no if he could not cut it with his Bankai, he was lost. He jumps twenty meters backwards. He sent all the spiritual energy he could to his legs and he was prepared to use the soul element from the air and gain momentum to leave the place as quickly as possible, if he did not flee, he will end up like Tsukishima .

"I see you did not understand what I said ... I'm not going to let you get away." the voice of the newly converted in Quincy sounded behind him. Ginjo turned quickly and charge a purple Getsuga on his sword and with a great swing he let go turning around.

Ichigo quickly gathered Reishi in his sword and unleashed a horizontal cut with his own Getsuga. Both attacks collided causing an explosion. Kurosaki did not wait until the smoke clears and with a flick of his spiritual weapon scattered the remains of the collision of the two powerful attacks. He did hold back on that attack, he didn't wanted to destroy the city.

Ichigo was free falling towards Ginjo while Kugo move upwards and both fighters collide with each other. Both of their weapons collided in a lock of strength. Ichigo was easily overpowering him. He was getting stronger and Ginjo was sweating, Ichigo's Reiatsu had no limit. Ginjo notice after clashing swords that someone inside of Ichigo was unlocking his power little by little. But who? He had lost his Shinigami powers, he didn't had a Zanpakuto spirit.

"Wait Ichigo...you must..." Ginjo call at him.

Ichigo was bored of talking, his sword disappear in the air into Reishi. Ichigo proceed to use Hirenkyaku and accelerated going around Ginjo. Thanks to the speed with which he moved, hundreds of afterimages surrounded the white-haired. A rain of attacks came from different directions towards Ginjo.

Kugo did everything possible to stop the beating, still for every hit he stopped, three more break his guard. Not only blows with his hands, Kurosaki also added to the mixture kicks and elbows in rapid succession. Each ridiculously powerful due to Blut making Ginjo bleed from every sucesion something had hold of him. He was just talking about peace and protecting his friends but it looked like he hated the Shinigami and what he represented.

After the brutal assault, the body of Ginjo reflected many wounds all over his body, including several cuts, everything around him was moving in slow motion. And he probably had one or two broken ribs.

Kurosaki appeared above of the Leader of the Fullbringer, upside down ready to ended all with one final kick and with one small movement he launched a powerful kick enhancement with blut, Ichigo went with a Karate kick style it looked directly from a movie, except that his leg on the outside was covered with black and blue Reiatsu. Like a meteor closing into the atmosphere his attack was unleashed at close range. Ginjo was pushed by such force and ended up crashing into the ground in front of the Tsukishima's mansion.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! A large explosion was caused by the collision, destroying almost half of the forest. Ichigo's power was growing by the minute, in no time he will reach the level of power that he gain after training in the dangai with Zangetsu and his father. The blond Quincy Jugram fronted his eyes towards this prodigy. He thoughts were all but know to us.

From the smoke came out a seriously wounded Ginjo, a lot of his armor from his Bankai was destroy, revealing part of his torso, his body was burned after receiving that attack directly, and he move a bit forward after he gushed blood from his mouth. His knees were trembling and he could barely hold his claymore on his hands.

'Why? ... I planned to destroy Soul Society who betrayed me. And hoping you'd say that was wrong. And you will not even do that?' Ginjo thought as he lifted his great sword again in an attempt to strike at the Quincy. 'It is the gaze of someone trying to understand me ... From someone trying to get in my place and see things from my perspective. Are you saying that you understand how i feel but still refuse everything about me...!? '

"ICHIGO!" Kugo pointed his Fullbring, charged and shoot a purple Cero at hypersonic speed towards Ichigo. It was wider and darker than any hollow, it was almost 3x times the size of the Mansion.

Kurosaki changed to the defensive variety of Blut, raised his right hand and casually caught and spread the Cero, that Ginjo had just thrown at him, splitting the skies once again.

"Is true, you also have Hollow powers." he said impassively. When the smoke clear Ichigo looked at his hand, it was burn and he had bruises all over his right arm, all the way to his shoulder. He opened and closed his fist hinting at Ginjo that he had not received much damage.

"Hey, moron! Here's a hit for you. You should end the fight before he uses another one of his Hollow attacks. The reiatsu of a Hollow is toxic, ...to Quincy's." Bazz smiled wickedly at Ichigo, who didn't seem to care that much on the outside. But on the inside he knew why did he felt that immense shock in his chest when he confronted the blast.

"Let's end this, right here and now." Ginjo said smiling but barely standing in the air in front of Ichigo. With his free hand Kugo was holding the shoulder of the arm which holds his blade, heavily panting.

Ichigo again created his spiritual sword and pointed it at Ginjo rushing to his enemy. He waved his sword and made a deep cut on Kugo's chest before he could even react to his speed. He was light years beyond Ginjo's training and skills. Blood gushed and splattered from the laceration at Ichigo, smearing his face with red drops.

Both opponents plummeting down leaving a trail of spiritual power. They hit the ground breaking it, under their feet and resumed to clash swords.

Kugo put all the power he could in his movement, swinging his Claymore down. Ichigo changed his sword hand and made a final lunge. The spiritual weapon cut neatly in two's Ginjo's Fullbring and continued until he inserted about half of his sword into Ginjo's chest, piercing his heart.

There was silent, not even the wind blow. Kurosaki slowly drew his sword from Kugo's chest and let him cry with pain, while his body collapsed on the ground.

The X mark and the color of his eyes began to retreat, leaving the original brown iris that Kugo had, though his white hair remained. 'Ichigo. Do our roles have changed if you had appeared first? Would you have become like me? ... Tell me Ichigo, if you had come first ... We would have been ... ' Kugo died alone at the hands of Ichigo, even the other fullbringers had ran from the scene before the fight between them even began. They were alarmed by the Reiatsu of the three Quincy's which made their presence known to them.


Soul Society, Rukongai West: Shiba Residence


Isshin Kurosaki (formerly known as Isshin Shiba) was sharing family time with his nephews and Yoruichi. Isshin had not visited his old home for about twenty years ago, the last time he came was the day before his first meeting with Masaki in the human world.

The former captain of the Tenth Division was enjoying his short time in Soul Society, he was drinking Sake with his niece Kukaku and Yoruichi. It was seriously fun to hang out with them while Kisuke Sotaicho convinced to restore the powers of his idiot son. No many people knew about him and his relationship with Ichigo. Only a few amount of people knew, the people closest to him and their friends. Even old man Yamma knew about his return after he felt his Reiatsu back in the battle with Aizen.

So far the situation was a hitch. Many Reapers had gathered with the intention of providing its Reiatsu to the cause. Isshin was really proud of Ichigo. He could not believe his delinquent son has become the savior of three worlds and was hailed as a hero. Of course he was hiding from view, if others found out about him, it could cause a lot of mistrust from Central 46, towards the actions of the Head Captain for been so soft.

Ichigo had achieved enormous strength at the end of the war. Destroy mountains casually with a flick of his sword was a feat that neither Yamamoto himself could replicate. (Not without Bankai that is.) Unfortunately he had to sacrifice his powers to defeat Aizen. That's really noble of you, damaging your own soul to protect others.

'Masaki would be very proud of him ... Although she've beat me for leaving their son face a danger like that' Isshin thought as he sipped sake. The memory of his beloved wife made him smile, she was probably somewhere in the Rukongai. Isshin expected to find her some day and take her back to Shiba complex. The Rukongai was absurdly huge, there were altogether two hundred districts and the more he approached the outside the largest the district was. So he had a way to go if he wanted to see her again, he could only wish he was somewhere in the first neighborhoods and have a good life. The outlying districts were very violent, not that Masaki could not defend himself, but Isshin would feel much better if she did not have to deal with those problems.

His line of thought back to Ichigo. He has been running his situation very poorly, hiding and bottling his frustration from his sisters and friends won't achieve him anything. Those smiles that Ichigo gave them to relieve them, failed to calm them at all.

'Hopefully, in the week I've been here Ichigo has not been in trouble' he recited mentally. But problems usually come by themselves to the hybrid orange hair, 'in the worst case scenario Ginjo Kugo should have already made contact with Ichigo. We must hurry and return his powers- 'Isshin was taken from his meditations by the sound of a door opening suddenly.

Urahara Kisuke was breathing heavily while holding the door frame of rice paper, he had moved at maximum speed to exit the Seireitei and come here to this friends. He had to warn them about the decision the Head Captain made.

"Kisuke. How did the meeting go, did the Sotaicho agreed to ..." Yoruichi greeting, gradually stopped after seeing the expression on his former third seat. "Kisuke, What happened at the meeting?" she asked in a serious tone. Urahara rarely reflected seriously on her face, she notice that something really bad happened to cause that expression in the simple eccentric owner of a candy store.

Isshin took his gaze to the former captain of the senior squad, his expression showed the unspoken question.

"Yamamoto-sotaicho has ordered the execution of the Shinigami Substitute Kugo Ginjo and ..." Kisuke stopped for a moment to inhale some oxygen "Kurosaki Ichigo ..."

The tension in the room increases rapidly. You could feel the hatred emanating from Isshin and Yoruichi. Both raised their anger Reiatsu per share.

"That old fuck of a man thinks that he can decide whether my son lives or not?!" The Patriarch of current Kurosaki growled as he rose from his position. The alcohol consumed his body temporarily dissipated.

"Yamamoto is wrong if he thinks i'm going to let him touch my apprentice!" Yoruichi followed the example of Isshin.

"Shut, shut up... Isshin-san, Yoruichi-san, would you two shut up." He try to calm them, "You two can not go on to attack the most powerful Shinigami and emerge unscathed. I will open immediately a Senkaimon, we will return to Karakura as soon as possible and hide Kurosaki-san from the sight of Soul Society. Then try to restore his powers with the Reiryoku we have collected." Urahara explained his plan.

Isshin and Yoruichi let out a breath and they regain their composure, they would not achieve anything being precipitated.

"Mmm ... Urahara ... Where is the sword, didn't you take it with you to the meeting?" Kukaku said. Kisuke's eyes expanded and his mouth parted.

"Kisuke, don't tell me that you have forsaken that Katana in the meeting?" The Princess Shihouin questioned in a tone of sweet / terrifying voice that would make Yachiru and Unohana proud.

Urahara began to tremble with fear, Yoruichi could be terrifying when she wanted. "... I think my mind was occupied on how to get to Kurosaki-san of this problem and I ended up forgetting it in the barracks of the First Division, hehe ... I'll go get her now ..." The Ex-director of the institute for research and development was turning off to feel the anger of the old captains of the two and ten divisions.

Urahara suddenly felt like a rodent being observed for three angry cobras. Isshin, Yoruichi Kukaku and were surrounded by an overwhelming evil aura and his eyes glowed red. "KI-SU-KE" they shouted. In the perspective of scientific voices they seemed somehow distorted and much, much more terrifying than a Vasto Lorde-class Hollow.


World of the Living: Naruki-Shi


Ichigo saw the body of his fallen foe ... It was the first time he killed someone in a fight and he had done it twice in less than half an hour ... Oddly enough he did not feel neither satisfied nor ashamed about it. Ginjo and Tsukishima sought their death. They played with the minds of his friends and put them in danger and he would not aloud anyone to do that anymore. But he could not enjoy ending the lives of people, that was not in his personality and he disliked to give his opponents the final blow, though sometimes it was necessary. There are people that you can't forgive no matter how hard you try to accept change.

Ichigo was not at all certain that killing Tsukishima would undo the effect of the Book of The End. 'From what Ginjo said cutting a person's a second time will reverse Shukuro's Fullbring effect, but he never said that if I kill him it would also undo the effects. If my friends do not return to normal and hate me for killing someone 'important' to them, maybe it ... No, I could not think about it, it had to be optimistic and believe that they would stop thinking about Tsukishima as a friend.' Ichigo's thoughts were a jumble.

He turned his back on the body of Kugo, he gathered Reishi on his feet and disappeared leaving a blur as body where he was standing.

Kurosaki stopped in front of strangers who rescued him from this deplorable situation. They looked at him with an expectant expression, well to be more exact the blond (which could be the lost brother of Byakuya and Ulquiorra) remained stoic, the redhead looked bored and the girl was eating him with her eyes.

He paid them no attention and walked to where rested Inoue and Chad. Both awoke sometime in the skirmish between Ginjo and Ichigo. Kurosaki pay a look at Chad, he seemed fine, with a shake of his head Sado confirmed it. The friendship between the adolescent orange hair and Mexican giant a few years ago had come to the point to be understood at a glance.

Ichigo turned to Orihime, he extends his hand to help her stand up. "Are you okay, Inoue?" he asked, his face you could clearly see his concern for the girl, her voice also reflects that fact.

"Y-Yes... I'm fine, Kurosaki-kun" answered softly, barely audible. She took the hand of her crush and stood with his help.

"Are you sure? ... You look all red ... Inoue, do you have a fever?" Ichigo said with concern. He leaned his forehead against hers to measure its temperature. Certainly his body temperature was a bit high, but there was nothing to worry about.

Orihime's heart almost came out of her chest. Kurosaki-kun was invading her personal space, not that it bothered her at all. Ichigo's lips were so close she could kiss him if she found even a little bit of courage and approach him ... She sighed mentally, she could not steal a kiss in this way, if I was going to kiss him it had to be longed for both of them!

Ichigo move away from the face of Inoue. Orihime was safe. All of his friends were safe. He gave one of those rare but beautiful smiles (at least for the perspective of the girls).

Inoue's blush red tones increase at the sight of the man who she had fallen in love with, that smile was not a false one like the ones Ichigo smiled towards his friends during the past seventeen months, no this one was pure and sincere.

"Inoue you ... do you still consider yourself a friend of Tsukishima?" Kurosaki asked seriously, his expression back to his typical frown.

The color leaves Orihime's face, remembering that she protected an enemy of Ichigo, she suddenly feel bad. "S-sorry-K-Kurosaki-kun ... and I protected and healed Tsukishima-san though t-to-" The bearer of the Shun Shun Rikka stopped her tirade to see the relief in the expression of Ichigo.

'What a relief ... So after killing a Fullbringer, all traces of his power disappears.' Ichigo thought.

For a brief moment the eyes of Inoue ran through the body injuries of Kurosaki, plus the fact that he had nothing covering the upper part of his body and his eyes were naturally drawn to her.

"Kurosaki-kun ... Did you get a tattoo?" Orihime question the mark of the cross-shaped five-pointed on Ichigo's chest.

"No, what are you talking about Inoue ..." Kurosaki's eyes followed the girl with orange hair. True, near the center of his chest he had a tattoo, like a Quincy Cross.

"...Don't lie you have one right there! ...now i also want one..." Orihime said making her cartoonish face.

"I did not have this before collapsing... would it be a side effect of getting Quincy powers?" he mused aloud.

"It is true ... that brand is the result of crossing a Heilig Pfeil close to the heart in order to restore the lost powers of a Quincy. In fact I also have one." said Ishida while slightly pushing the rims of his glasses.

"Kurosaki-kun ... is a Quincy?" Orihime asked, looking really confused her eyes were in an 'X' shape, "Ichigo what's next ...you are a Human, with Shinigami powers, now you're a Quincy and a H-ho ..." She was going to complete the question but stopped, she did not want to see Ichigo become that thing again. And so she ignored the conversation looking aside.

"That seems ... Kurosaki has been using techniques that only a Quincy could do" Uryuu answered. Ishida watched Ichigo, the latter had already disabled his Blut and his spiritual sword went back to be a Quincy Cross.

"It's time to go, Ichigo Kurosaki" declares Haschwalth making Ichigo and his friends divert their attention to him. "Join us in Silbern and discover the truth of your birth and your inheritance."


Soul Society Seireitei: Waterfront Senkaimon


The team chosen for the extermination of the two Shinigami Substitute patiently awaited the opening of the road that would take them to where the substitute badge of Ichigo Kurosaki was, they have their eyes on him first hoping that he will lead them to Ginjo. Two Birds, one stone.

None of them agreed with the order issued by the Head Captain, but so far the do not dared to challenge the decision of Yamamoto, at least one of the captains would. Despite the respect he gained during the war with his actions and his strength, Kurosaki's life was not worth enough to defect and cause a civil war, but in these difficult times that followed the Winter War.

The junior on the contrary thought their ties with strawberry were more important than the orders and they would not allow him to be executed. Renji, along with Ikkaku and Yumichika had thought to face the captains, despite being practically a suicide mission, and had hoped that Kisuke Urahara, Isshin Shiba, Yoruichi Shihouin, the Vizard on the world of the living will help them to defend their friend.

The huge door Senkaimon began to glow with a white light indicating that he was open and ready to take the human world.

"The Gate of Worlds penetration is ready. Kuchiki-taicho, Hitsugaya-taicho, Zaraki-taicho." A Kido Corps officer announced.

"Alright, Let's Go." Byakuya said. A Jigokucho appears in front of each of the gods of death to guide them to the Human World.

'Don't worry, Ichigo ... We will not allow you to be executed. You saved Rukia and all of us. Now it's our turn to save you, even if we have to face our death in a match against our captains' recited in his mind the Lieutenant of the sixth squadron as he entered the Senkaimon.
