This story happens between the First Fight Arc or seasons eight and the new captain or season 9 and it differences from canon in that Ichigo gains full control of his hollow, before going to rescue Orihime and has a great rift with Soul Society.

Now with regards to parings in this one it will be a Ichigo/Rangiku and Rukia/Renji other pairings may come in later, or not will see.

I have a broad Idea of what I would like to happen in this story, but If you feel that something would be cool if it happened then by all means let me know in a review.

Finally I would like to say that naturally all of this is strictly my imagination, as screwed up as it may be, and that unfortunately for me and fortunately for us all I do not own Bleach nor the characters and in a very geeky way I am just having fun.

Bleach chapter 1

Ichigo Kurosaki had severed ties with Soul Society.

Ichigo opened the door into the meeting room where all the captains were standing at attention with their respective lieutenants in a meeting concerning him and his resent exploits against Aizen and his forces, the fact remained that Ichigo along with a handful of his friends from the real world had stormed Aizen strong hold, fought and successfully defeated some of the strongest espada and all to rescue someone who Head captain Yamamoto had labelled a traitor.

"What are you doing here Kurosaki?" asked a disgruntled Byakuya Kuchiki.

Ichigo glared at him, and concentrated his spiritual pressure solely on him; Byakuya immediately went to one knee as the pressure increased.

"What's the matter Byakuya?" asked Ichigo in a cold voice "Is the Substitute to much for you"

Ichigo glared at Byakuya for one last time before turning to Yamamoto "You know I came here to return this too you" he pulled the substitute Shinigami badge from within his Hakama "When my friend Rukia was taken to be executed I along with my friends came here against the famous Gotei thirteen and you know what happened?" He asked as he looked around to face the captains who were looking at him wearily "We defeated you, three humans, one human with Shinigami powers, one self proclaimed toughest fighter of Rukongai and one ex-captain" he smirked at Byakuya who was standing back up.

"Then came the Bounts, although it was your mess to begin with and my friends and I had to fight them while they were on the real world, we steal came back and fought along your side, we fought along you and we almost died with you, but what did you do?" Ichigo looked at Yamamoto "you sat idly waiting for us to take care of a mess that you created and that you made worse by ignoring even so we were victorious at great personal cost, my friends were injured and you, well you were able to breathe easily, once again your allies from the real world had come to your aid" Ichigo laughed at this "Or should I say peons old man?"

Ichigo looked back at the captains and spat at the floor "Then came the moment where we needed your help for a change, after all we did come to your aid" At this Ukitake and Shunsui along with Toshiro and most of the Lieutenants looked ashamed of themselves "But instead of helping us, you turned your head and called everyone back and to make matters worse, you call a friend of mine a traitor and try to order me to not go after her" Ichigo looked back at Yamamoto "that is where you screwed up Old man and believe me when I say you will come to regret that decision"

Ichigo walked towards the doors to the meeting room before turning and throwing his substitute badge to Ukitake who caught it "As of today I am no longer a Shinigami, I am a Vizard and as such any attack from you or any part of Soul Society against my friends, family or the Vizard will be seen as an act of war against us, and no quarter shall be given and no quarter shall be expected, I will steal kill hollows and send souls to you, but I will not aid or help in any way shape or form, I cannot speak for my friends but know that you and I will no longer be allies and though hostilities will not commence until you breach my condition I will not openly aid you either"

With that Ichigo opened the door before turning to look at Renji "Look after the midget for me, will you Lieutenant?"

"I will" said Renji who although blushing steal understood what just had happened by his addressing by rank and not name.

That moment the doors closed and chaos reigned.

The captains of the Gotei thirteen were standing together shocked by the resent developments; for starters Amagai Syusuke had joined as captain of squad three in the replacement of Gin Ichimaru who had betrayed them along with Sosuke Aizen and Kaname Tosen.

"We cannot have Ichigo as our enemy" stated a very distressed Jushiro Ukitake coughing onto his hand "We must try to make peace with him"

"I agree with Jushiro on this one Yama-jii" said Shunsui Kyoraku captain of the eight division "He has taken Captains Zaraki and Kuchiki in face to face combat, as well as being the one with most fighting experience against the arrancar and espada, if anything I think that we should have helped him when he asked for it, instead of just doing nothing"

"If he opposes us he will be dealt with" said Head Captain Yamamoto slamming his cane on the ground.

"By whom?" asked Toshiro Hitsugaya "He managed to best Zaraki with his shikai only and now that he has Ban-kai the only who could remotely stand a chance against him would have been Aizen or you Head Captain"

"We should not antagonize him by going against his wishes" said Komoamura "He stated his conditions, we should tell all of the Seireitei as well as Rukongai" he sighed before adding "I Think that our chances to win the war against Aizen have just gotten a lot smaller"

After the meeting was over Mayuri Kurotsuchi went into the department of research and development and gave a message to the reader to be heard by all of Seireitei and the Rukon.

"May I have your attention please as of today the substitute Shinigami Ichigo Kurosaki has severed ties with the Seireitei, he has also renounced his title of substitute Shinigami and has declared allegiance to the Vizard as well as his explicit disregard for the authority of the Head Captain, as such it is advised to all personnel to stop all contact with him and his faction and to keep your distance while on the real world"

The reader looked shocked at what he read, he could not believe that Ichigo, one of the most famous Shinigamis in the world had done that, and even more shocked that Kurotsuchi was not planning a skim to allow him to study him for his Vizard qualities.

On squad ten however things were going different Toshiro knew that he needed to act fast, as such he called Komoamura, Unohana, Kyoraku, Ukitake, Zaraki, Renji, Rangiku, Nanao, Hisagi, Kira and Rukia.

"We need to move fast if we want Ichigo to come back to us" he said "We cannot afford to have a fight against him and his friends at the same time that we are trying to fight Aizen"

"I agree with you" said Zaraki "plus who else would I fight if he didn't come back"

"The problem we have is that we don't have something that he wants and he doesn't really needs us" said Ukitake sitting down in the sofa next to Shunsui "he has the power to deal with any enemy by his own more likely and at the same time, he has no real reason to come here in the first place"

"Well we do have Rukia" said Kyoraku looking at her for confirmation.

Rukia sighed and shook her head "no, you don't"

"He did come to great lengths to save you though" said Retsu Unohana "he wouldn't do that for just anyone would he?"

"He came because he felt like he owed me something" said Rukia looking at the assembled group "he knew that I was going to be executed even if it was my fault he thought that it was maybe because with the power that I supposedly gave him he was able to protect his family, and that chip was used when he came here to save me and then for the Bounts, if anything I think that we owed him big time"

"So we effectively have made another enemy because of the Head-Captain thinking that he knows best" said Ukitake looking defeated.

"What should happen if he decided that we have attacked him" said Unohana "what would happen then"

"We would not survive the encounter more than likely" said Toshiro "So what should we do?"

"We should send someone who he knows but hasn't had that much contact with and that would not represent a threat to him at all" said Zaraki in a rare bout of insight.

"How about you Rangiku?" said Toshiro looking at her in the eyes.

Rangiku wasn't expecting that, sure many people underestimated her but to openly saying that to half the captains in the Seireitei was not the way that she would have thought it would be made, and by her own captain as well "Hey" she said angrily looking at Toshiro "What do you mean by that?"

"The truth" said Renji looking at her with no emotion in his voice "he could literally go head to head with the Head-Captain and win, if he wanted to and if he meant everything about being a Vizard then I think not even him would be able to defeat him"

"We do not suggest that you go because you are weak Rangiku, but because he would not look at you as a threat, like say Byakuya or one of us" said Rukia "If I go he would consider it a manipulation and then he would probably consider it as Seireitei trying to spy on what he is doing, also we should probably thinking on getting our own headquarters as we don't know where will Urahara fit in all of this and he does consider Ichigo as his student"

Rangiku just sat there thinking about it 'well if truth be told he is pretty cute and if he agrees to it I may be able to get him to come back and work for us and if not we may be able to gather Intel on him' "Ok I will do it, but remember that if anything happens I may need backup and you must come and pick me up as soon as possible"

"We will" said Toshiro with confidence that this might help smooth things over with Ichigo and company.

On the real world however things were going much the same way.

At the Urahara shop Chad, Orihime, Uryu, Tessai, Jinta, Ururu, Youruichi, Shinji and Urahara were awaiting Ichigo's return from Soul Society.

After what seemed like ages, Ichigo came though the Reishihenkanki and went to the sitting room where everyone was waiting for him.

"I have severed ties with soul society on my part, If any of you would like to remain in contact with them, that is fine with me, but do not expect me to help them"

With that he turned around and left into the rain leaving a very confused group behind of him.

"What did he mean by that?" said Orihime looking very apprehensive about it.

Urahara sighed "He told them what he thought about their idea of mutual help, he probably gave them back their badge" he looked pensive for a moment then looked at Shinji "It probably won't be very far to say that he is in your side now"

"I think that you are right" said Shinji "Only time will tell what will happen between you, Soul Society, Aizen and us"

At that moment the Senkaimon opened and Rangiku came forward looking apprehensive at the people in front of her.

"Hello everyone" she said trying to look like nothing was wrong "how are all of you doing?"
