disclaimer: oh yeah, in case you haven't noticed, bleach does not belong to me, if it does i won't bother with the fanfic thingy-i'll be putting my 'wild' ideas on the manga or anime itself; let's be satisfied with that fact ok? Thanks!! (i do own the existence of kurosaki hikaru )
On the Wings of an Angel
Chapter 1: Tsubasa no Kami
They ignored it at first. Kurosaki Ichigo and -Kurosaki Rukia, choose to ignore the massive reiatsu that their three-year old daughter has displayed 13 years ago. Yes, when the three-year old Kurosaki Hikaru dropped her feeding bottle, she became distressed upon not being able to reach it and decided to blast the darn thing with her kidou. Yes, said parents were deathly white in shock but also in denial of what had just transpired. The father, Ichigo, picked up her daughter and proceeded to rub her back, to calm her down (though he was actually calming his own nerves). Hikaru burst into fits of baby giggles as she playfully tugged at her father's unruly orange hair. Meanwhile, the petite shinigami mother, Rukia, proceeded to clean the charred remains of the coffee table which got caught with her daughter's, erm, temper display.
Upon reaching 7 years of age, Hikaru called-forth her very own zanpakouto. Rukia could still vividly remember the day as if it only happened yesterday. Ichigo was called to the Spirit World when a menos decided to invade Karakura town. Rukia and Hikaru happened to be playing at the nearby park when hollows descended upon them. Rukia, immediately went shinigami mode, momentarily forgetting that, her surprised daughter, although learned in the demon arts, could not go into shinigami form like her. Rukia hacked and slashed and kicked the lesser hollows but she was nearly ripped in two when the menos itself attacked her. Horrified at the sight of her mother being murdered, Hikaru screamed at the top of her 7 year old lungs- " Descend! Tsubasa no Kami (Goddess of Wings)". Thousands of lights in the shape of feathers fell from the sky and merged to materialize into a pure-white-bladed katana wielded by Hikaru's hand-who proceeded to hack and slice the offending menos, which was trying to murder her mother, on her own. Rukia almost fainted from shock at what she had just seen, but awe at the power her daughter obviously wields kept her from doing so. Hikaru run to her mother screaming about monsters, her zanpakouto dissolving just as fast as it had materialized. Later, as Rukia so clearly recalled, she asked Hikaru to "show" her zanpakouto to her father. Their daughter just shrugged murmuring something about Tsubasa not being a "zanpakouto" but her "friend" before repeating the same mantra: " Descend, Tsubasa no Kami ", in a rather bored way. Ichigo gaped, literally, his lower jaw hanged nearly on his chest level as he continued to stare dumb-founded at his daughter's soul slayer. Hikaru was able to summon her zanpakouto even in her "human" body. Rukia had to close Ichigo's mouth for him.
"You see, Ichigo, Hikaru cannot live in this world anymore...she...I haven't seen any shinigami do what she just did..." Rukia started.
"Ye-yeah. Of course...uhm, Rukia, can we stay here for a couple more years before living permanently in Soul Society? " Ichigo managed to answer, his mind still vaguely clouded with mixed emotions about what he just saw.
"It's fine with me. We should train Hikaru, though. I fear her reiatsu would attract much worse than the menos she had slain."
"Yeah." was all Ichigo could say while ruffling Hikaru's jet black hair.
"Dad, will Zangetsu be there in Soul Society too? " Hikaru asked innocently. Ichigo, yet again, gaped at her daughter.
"Za-Zangetsu?! How the heck did you know Zangetsu? ", he asked, his face livid with surprise.
"'Coz he's always right there Daddy, just like the pretty lady Shirayuki, can't you see? " Hikaru said, pointing behind Ichigo and Rukia. Now, it was Rukia's turn to gape at her daughter. Hikaru could see the spirit forms of their zanpakouto, repeat- Hikaru could see the spirit forms of their zanpakouto.
A/N: I'm not sure if Shirayuki is a female zanpakouto, but for the sake of this fic, let's all boil down our tempers and accept neh? Thanks again! I'll upload if there are enough reviews...(grins)...
