Chapter 14: Home!

Similar like when they entered the Soul Society, Ichigo and his friends found themselves once again being chased by the Kōtotsu. Ichigo didn't quite understand what was going on. He had expected that since this was the official gate they would have a peaceful journey back, not one where they were running for their lives and screaming like a bunch of banshees.

"Yoruichi! What the hell!?" Ichigo yelled at the black cat in front of them as they ran from the Kōtotsu. "I thought that since this was the official gate why do we have to run for your lives just like the last time!?" he asked.

"We each need a hell butterfly to clear the gate safely," she said while looking back at Ichigo as she ran. "Only soul reapers can handle them. Relax we are almost to the exit," she said causing all of them to look at ahead as they ran to see an opening in the Dangai. Seeing that they were all almost to the end, the group picked up the pace and gave it everything they got in order to put some distance between them and the Kōtotsu. In ten seconds the entire group exited the Dangi and into the World of the Living. As they all exited the Dangai they all noticed something very odd or felt that something off. It wasn't until they all looked down and noticed that they were all about 50 feet in the air causing all of their eyes to widen in shock and fear. After looking at back up at each other and blinking a few time they all began to fall to the ground very quickly.

"AHHHHHH!" they all yelled out in fright as the ground approach them very quickly. As they were falling the entire group was suddenly covered in a large white cloth that wrapped around all of them and took on the shape of a ball. The next thing they all heard was a voice of Ichigo recognized as Tessai.

"Tessai home catch!" Tessai yelled as everyone felt the giant ball impacted something who they all assumed was Tessai. The next thing that happened was the cloth around everyone began to unwrap and the next thing they all knew they were sitting on some flying through the air.

"My, my, welcome back everyone," came an all too familiar voice causing everyone to look up and see Kisuke sitting at the front of whatever it was they were flying on.

"Kisuke, but how?" Ichigo asked as he took a more comfortable seat. Kisuke looked back at Ichigo before he spoke.

"It's good to see you again, young Ichigo," Kisuke said before turning and looking back ahead. "How did it go?" he asked in his serious voice. Ichigo sighed and looked down slightly before he replied.

"No one blames you for that, Ichigo," Kisuke said as he turned to look at Ichigo. "You are still young so mistakes are expected to be made all you can do is learn from them," he said very sagely.

"Yeah I know," Ichigo said before he looked up at Kisuke. "And I hope you don't forget about your end of the deal," Ichigo said causing Kisuke to flip open his fan and hold it against his face before he spoke in his usual jovial tone.

"Oh, of course, of course, I will apologize to Ms. Kuchiki the next time I see her," he said while waving his hand at Ichigo. Uryu then stood up getting everyone's attention before he spoke.

"Mr. Urahara do you think you can drop me off around here?" he asked causing Kisuke to nod before the carpet that they were riding started to descend to the ground. When it was about five feet above the ground Uryu hopped off the carpet.

"See you later, Uryu. I'll be sure to give you a call if anything big comes up," Ichigo said as Uryu hopped off.

"What are you talking about?" Uryu asked causing Ichigo to raise an eyebrow. "Have you forgotten Ichigo? You are a Soul Reaper and I am a Quincy, the next time you are I meet we will be enemies," he said before he started to walk off. Ichigo just sighed and stared at him as he walked away.

"He's a stubborn guy," Orihime said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's for sure," Ichigo said.

"But that stubbornness is one of Uryu's best characteristics," she added causing Ichigo to look over at her.

"She's right," Chad added causing Ichigo to sigh. After flying forward for another minute they arrived at Orihime's stop. She hopped off and waved goodbye to the everyone.

"Bye guys!" she said in her usual happy voice. Everyone on the carpet waved back her before they flew off. After flying for another three minutes they arrived at Chad's stop. He got off and turned towards Ichigo and simply just nodded his head before walking off. The carpet began to rise in the air once before as Kisuke spoke to Ichigo.

"Shall I drop you off at your house Ichigo?" he asked causing Ichigo to turn and look at him before he replied.

"Yeah, that'll be great," he said before the carpet sped off. "by the way Kisuke, I'll stop by your shop tomorrow to talk to you about something," he said causing Kisuke and Yoruichi to look at him with curiosity.

"About what exactly?" Kisuke asked in his serious voice.

"I'll tell you about it tomorrow," Ichigo replied before he stood up. "This is my stop," he said before he jumped off of the carpet.

"Wait, Ichigo!" Kisuke yelled as Ichigo jumped. "That kid has way too much energy," he said as he saw Ichigo land safely on the ground.

"Home sweet home," Ichigo said as he stared at his house. He walked around to the side of the house and saw that his bedroom window was open, he then hopped up to the window and then into his room. When he got into his room he saw his body was already there laying on his bed. "Hmm, Kisuke must have brought it over," He said to himself as he took off his sunglasses and the substitute soul reaper badge and placed them on his desk before he entered his body. Upon entering his body he got up from the bed and did a few stretches and cracked his joints before he left his room and walked across the hall to check on his sisters. He peaked open Karin's room and saw her peacefully sleeping causing him to smile. He then walked towards Yuzu's room and opened to door slightly so he could peak in and see what she was doing. He saw her laying here hugging one of her stuffed animals with half of her body outside of the covers. Ichigo smile as walked into her room and pull the covers over her, he then gave her a kiss on the forehead before he turned to leave. As he was leaving he saw something move at the corner of his eye causing him to spin around quickly on instincts getting ready for an attack. Much to his surprise, he saw Kon running towards him with tears in his eyes. Ichigo sighed and grabbed the same stuffed lion by the mouth before he could wake up his sister and took him back to his room.

"Ichigo! your back!" Kon yelled as Ichigo threw him on the bed.

*Next Day*

The sound of Ichigo's alarm fills the air in his room causing him to sit straight up and look around his room trying to figure out where he was. After two minutes he finally cut off the alarm and continue to look around before he spoke to himself.

"Right, I came back home," he said as he sat on his bed staring at the wall in front of him.

"GOOD MORNING ICHIGO!" Ichigo heard as he leaned forward to get up. Just as he leaned forward something or someone rather came flying through his open window and flew just past the back of Ichigo's head before crashing into the closet. Ichigo then looked over to see who was stupid enough to actually do that and saw his dad laying on the floor. "Wow, you certainly improved, Ichigo. I'm impressed you were able to dodge my welcome home kick," his dad said before jumping to his feet.

"Shut up," Ichigo said as he began to take his shirt off.

"What? Don't think you could avoid my crazy-" His dad was cut off by Ichigo planting his food right on his dad's face sending him crashing back to the closet.

"Too much noise this early in the morning!" Ichigo yelled as he walked up to his dad and grabbed him by the back of his collar and dragged him out of his room. "And next time use the door!" he yelled.

"Ichigo! Dad! Breakfast is ready!" Yuzu yelled from downstairs.

"I'll be down in a minute!" Ichigo yelled back before walking back into his room to grabbed his towel to take a shower. After brushing his teeth and taking a shower Ichigo got dressed in his school uniform along with his sunglasses and went downstairs to eat breakfast. When he got down he saw his two sisters sitting at the table along with his dad sporting two bumps on his head. He walked past his two sisters and ruffled their hair causing Yuzu to pout while Karin tried to punch him. As he sat down Yuzu brought him his breakfast and h began to her.

"Yeah I have," he said quickly. "What about you guys I know they piled on the homework this summer, have you finished it yet?" Ichigo asked nervously.

"Yeah, we got it done in no time at all and didn't have anything to do since you were on your trip," Yuzu said causing Ichigo to smile at her.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you," Karin said getting his attention. "That Kanonji guy came by a few times while you were away. He said he made you a disciple or something," she said causing Ichigo to chuckle nervously.

"That's right," Yuzu added before taking a bite of his breakfast.

"I don't know what he is talking about," He said before drinking some orange juice. "By the way dad," Ichigo said getting his dad's attention. "Can you write me something to take to school that will allow me to wear my sunglasses?" Ichigo asked knowing very well that he couldn't wear his sunglasses in school and didn't want to answer any questions as to how his eyes changed colors. His dad looked at him seriously for a few minutes before he spoke in a serious voice.

"Yeah Ill write a medical note saying your eyes developed an oversensitivity to light," he said causing Ichigo to nod his head before he finished his food. After eating Ichigo went back into his room to grab his bag while looking for his bag he spotted the substitute soul reaper badge on his desk.

'I don't trust you yet. Kon will have to do for now,' he thought before he spotted his bag and grabbed it.

"Kon, where are you?" Ichigo asked as he looked around the room for Kon. Seeing that he was nowhere to be seen Ichigo open the closet to see if he was in there. Upon opening the closet Ichigo saw the stuffed lion sleeping in the place where Rukia used to sleep.

"Hey, wake up," Ichigo said as he grabbed the stuffed lion causing him to wake up.

"We'll take about that when I get back from school," Ichigo said before he pushed his hand into the lion's mouth and pulled out a small green pill. He placed the pill in his pocket and began walking out of the room only to stop when he reached the door. "Wait, if I do use Kon to exit my body how I get kon to leave my body when I ready to enter it again?" Ichigo asked himself before he growled and walked over to the desk and grabbed the badge before he left for school.

*At School*

Ichigo was currently walking through the halls of his school on his way to class with his bag hung over his shoulder and his sunglasses on. As he was walking through the halls he couldn't help but notice the attention he was getting. He didn't know if it was because of his sunglasses or because he got a bit muscular. Before he could think on it any more he was interrupted by a screaming voice running towards him.

"Iiiicccchhhiiiggooo!" Ichigo's friend Keigo yelled while running towards. Ichigo stuck out his arm clotheslining Keigo causing him to fall on the ground in pain.

"Oh hey, Keigo," Ichigo said in a bored tone as he walked past the downed Keigo towards his classroom.

"Morning Ichigo," said Mizuiro as he walking in class with Ichigo. "How's it going?" he asked as they walked in.

"Morning Mizuiro," Ichigo said with a smile and a nod. As Ichigo walked into class he saw not a lot of people had arrived as yet, he saw Orihime, Chad, and Tatsuki standing by his desk waiting for him. As Ichigo was making his way to his desk he gave a nod to Chad and saw that Orihime was waving at him.

"Good morning Ichigo!" Orihime said in her usual cheery voice. Ichigo placed his bag down on his desk before he smiled and replied to her.

"Morning Orihime, Chad, Tatsuki," he said as he sat down.

"Yeah what's up with that?" Keigo asked as he brought his face close to Ichigo's inspecting his glasses.

"It's a medical condition, my eyes become too s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to light," he lied hoping that they would buy it. Thankfully before anyone could question Ichigo about it anymore the bell rang signaling that it was time for class to begin.

"Good morning everyone," came a female voice causing everyone to look in the direction of where it was coming from in order to see who it was. When they looked over they all saw it was their homeroom teacher, Ms. Ochi. "Take a seat, everyone," she said as she stood in front of the class. Everyone in the class began to move around to find their own seat before they all sat down. "Alright, it seems like everyone is here. Now I want you all to get out your summer assignments, I hope you all remember to bring them in," she said while looking at the class. Ichigo zoned out from what his teacher was saying looked at the empty desk that was next to him, it was the desk where Rukia used to sit while she was here. He was knocked out of his thought by his teacher's voice. "Ichigo, Ichigo," she called out trying to get his attention.

"Uh, yes Ms. Ochi?" Ichigo said as he snapped out of his thought and looked at his teacher.

"Ichigo, I know wearing sunglasses are cool and all but you cannot wear them while in class," she said while looking at him with her hands on her hip.

"Oh right," he said before he got up from his seat and began walking towards her. "I got a doctor's note about that," he said as he dug into his pocket and pulled out the paper that his father had given to him. He handed her the note and waited for her to okay everything before he went back to his seat. After reading through the letter she folded it and planning to hand it into the school's nurse as well as a copy to the principle for school records.

"Okay, everything seems to be in order," she said to Ichigo with a smile causing him to turn and began walking back to his seat. As he was walking back to his seat, he and everyone else in the class could hear someone shouting from outside the school.

"Where are you hiding? Come on out here!" the voice shouted causing Ichigo to stop mid-stride with his eyes as wide as dinner plates.

'That better not be who I think it is,' Ichigo said as he turned and looked at Uryu only to see him looking back at Ichigo with an expression that said that voice was familiar.

"Ichigo Kurosaki you're up there and don't pretend you're not!" The voice yelled again causing Ichigo and everyone in the class to go to the window in order to see how it was, or in Ichigo's case, in order to confirm who he thought it was. When Ichigo got to the window he saw Renji standing there dressed like a hippie with a guitar strapped to his back.

"Ichigo do you know him?" Ms. Ochi said while looking at Ichigo. Ichigo sighed before he started to walk towards the door.

"Yeah, he's a ...relative," Ichigo said before he left the classroom. When Ichigo arrived outside he saw Renji was still screaming at the building causing him to sigh before he walked up to Renji and grabbed him by the back of his shirt and started dragging him over to the bushes.

"What hell are you doing, Ichigo!" Renji screamed as he was being dragged away.

"Would you stop screaming, this is a school you know," Ichigo said as he tossed Renji into the bushes before jumping into the bushes himself. "Now do you mind explaining to me what you are doing?" He asked while staring at Renji who was picking himself off the ground.

"It seems I've been put in charge of this Karakura Town," Renji said with his hand folded. "Mr. Urahara told me where you were and I came to see you that's the story," he said while pointing to himself. "And now I'm in charge," he added proudly. Ichigo looked at him for a few seconds before he started to chuckling.

"There is no way the Soul Society would send a lieutenant to look after a town..." Ichigo said with a smirk. "That could only mean one of two things, either something really big is happening here or...you got demoted," Ichigo said causing Renji to yell at him.

"I didn't get demoted!" he yelled at Ichigo.

"Sure, whatever you say," Ichigo said condescendingly. Just as Renji was about to yell back at Ichigo the badge that he was wearing starting to make a beeping sound before he started to float in the air. "What's going on?" Ichigo said while holding the badge.

"It's a hollow," Renji said seriously before looking over to the school's basketball ball court. Ichigo followed his gaze before he saw something drop from the sky and two seconds later a hollow appeared and began making its way towards the school.

"What are you waiting for got kill it!" Ichigo screamed as he turned to look at Renji. When he looked over he saw half of Renji's body was already out of his gigai while the other half seems to be stuck.

"I can't get out of the gigai, you're going to have to do it," he said while struggling to get out of his gigai. Ichigo growled before he took out his soul candy and popped it in his mouth causing him to eject from his body leaving Kon in his place. Ichigo then turned his attention to the hollow and saw it standing on the fence with his hand on the window causing him to growl before he flash-stepped himself above the hollow with his zanpakuto drawn. As Ichigo descended to the ground, he sliced the hollow right down the middle killing it. As he landed on the ground and he looked at the slowly disappearing body of the hollow Ichigo noticed something very strange about it. Two things were happening and only one of them was normal. Part of the hollows body was disappearing like how it normally did, but there was another part that turned into blue spirit energy and instead of it dissipating in the atmosphere, it was being absorbed into Ichigo's zanpakuto.

"Alucard, what's going on?' Ichigo asked in his head as he stared at the spirit energy being absorbed.

"Rest assured master this all normal," Alucard said in Ichigo's head. "Remember I told you that every enemy you kill their spirit energy will be absorbed into you in order for you to use a special technique in your bankai?" Alucard asked causing Ichigo to think for a moment before he remembers.

'Oh yeah, now I remember,' he said before he sheathed his sword and began walking back towards Renji. 'So that's it?' he asked.

Yeah, that's it," Alucard replied. Ichigo then jumped back into the bush and saw Renji standing there outside his body while Kon was standing there in Ichigo's body. Before Kon could react Ichigo pressed the soul reaper badge against his body forcing the pill out before he entered his body. He then turned to Renji and spoke.

"Don't leave your body lying around like that hurry up and put it on," he said while looking at the gigai on the floor.

"I don't want to go back in I just go out," he said causing Ichigo to sigh.

"Now listen up, I don't want you coming around my school like that, you got that,' Ichigo said while pointing at Renji.

"Yeah, yeah whatever," Renji said causing Ichigo to nod before he returned to class. The rest of the day was uneventful and was pretty normal for the most part. Ichigo had sensed random hollows appearing in the town but they were eventually purified by Renji. After school, he made his way Urahara's shop so he could talk to him and he was hoping Renji wasn't there. When he arrived he saw Jinta and Ururu outside playing with a soccer ball, he walked up to them and spoke.

"Hey, is Kisuke in?" Ichigo asked while looking down at the two. They looked up at him before Jinta answered him.

"Yeah he's inside," Jinta said while pointing to the door causing Ichigo nodded before he entered the shop. When he walked inside he saw Kisuke sitting on the floor with Yoruichi next to him.

"Oh, young Ichigo," Kisuke said in his usual jovial manner. "What can I do for you my young apprentice," Kisuke asked while holding his fan in front of his face.

"I was hoping we could talk..." Ichigo replied before he took out his substitute soul reaper badge and waved it around a bit before he laced it in his bag and placed the bag on one of the shelves. "about some stuff," he added while looking at Kisuke.

"Oh I've trained you so well," Kisuke said as he wiped a fake tear away from his eye. "Step into my office," Kisuke said as he stood up and opened the door to his bas.e.m.e.nt.

"That's your office?" Ichigo asked in a deadpan tone before sliding down the ladder. When the three of them arrived in Urahara's bas.e.m.e.nt/training ground Ichigo looked at them before he spoke. "What can you tell me about that badge because I don't trust it," Ichigo said while looking at the two of them.

"Why don't you trust it?" Yoruichi asked while still in her cat form.

"Because Kisuke said the Soul Society doesn't do anything without a purpose," Ichigo said as he leaned against one of the giant rocks. "And I don't buy they are going to make me a substitute soul reaper after what we did to them," Ichigo said not believing that they just let them go just like that.

"You're right to be suspicious, but they really did let all out go after what you guys did," Kisuke said surprising Ichigo.

"So you mean that after we invaded their home base and make them look like complete fools they're just going to let us go?" Ichigo asked in a suspicious tone.

"That's right," Kisuke said with a grin. "However, that badge of yours allow the Soul Society to constantly track and control the Reiatsu of whoever is in possession of a combat pass," Kisuke said surprising Ichigo.

"So I was right," Ichigo said with an angry look on your face.

"No you're not right," Kisuke said getting his attention. "You can't expect them to trust you just like that. This is a way for them to see if you're an enemy or an ally," he said causing Ichigo to nod understanding their reasoning.

"Can't you do something about the Reiatsu controlling thing?" Ichigo asked not really liking the idea of being controlled.

"I'll do some research into it and see what I can do," Kisuke said causing Ichigo to smile and nod before he began walking to the ladder. As he was walking to the ladder he quickly swept up Yoruichi before she could escape and started petting her.

"Who's a good kitty," Ichigo said while scratching behind her ears causing her purr while Kisuke started laughing behind the duo. Ichigo then placed Yoruichi down before racing up the ladder before she could scratch him for taking advantage or her weakness like that. He grabbed his bag and raced out of the while hearing a cat screeching behind him.

After walking for about ten minutes Ichigo finally arrived home. As he walked into the house he was forced to dodge one of his dad's attacks before he could successfully enter the house. After dinner and a long explanation to Kon as to why he didn't bring Rukia back, Ichigo was finally ready to get some sleep.

12:00 AM

At midnight Ichigo was sound asleep in his bed while Kon was sound asleep in the closet. Usually, while Ichigo slept he would go into his inner world and train with Alucard, but his zanpakuto spirit allowed him a few days to rest in order to rest since he returned to the world of the living before they began to start training again. The one odd thing that was in Ichigo's room this night was none other than Renji.

"Hey, Ichigo," Renji said standing on Ichigo's bed trying to wake him up. "Hey, wake up," he said once again trying to wake Ichigo up. Ichigo began to stir and slightly open his eyes after Renji spoke the second time. It took a few seconds before Ichigo finally woke up and saw Renji standing over him causing him to sit up quickly and try to put some distance between the two of them.

"What are you doing here!" Ichigo shouted in a whisper.

"It's about time you woke up, you shouldn't let your guard down," Renji said before he jumped off the bed.

"Shut up!" Ichigo said while rubbing his eyes. "What the hell are you doing here at this hour anyway?" he asked as he checked the clock in his room.

"I got a job that needs to be done and you're going to come with me," he said causing Ichigo's head to snap over and look at him.

"Huh? I don't see why I need to go," Ichigo said before he started to smirk. "That is unless you're like Rukia and can't handle things yourself," he added in a condescending tone.

"Oh shut up," Renji replied as he leaned against the closet before his face took on a serious look. "I got a strange message on my soul pager. I mean the spiritual pressure isn't all that strong but you can feel that can't you?" Renji asked causing Ichigo to begin and try to sense what Renji was talking about before he shot of bed with his eyes widen.

"Orihime!" Ichigo said in surprise before he grabbed his combat pass and pressed it against his c.h.e.s.t ejecting his soul from his body.

"Yeah, Whatever the source is it must be close to her," Renji said causing Ichigo to growl.

"You should have said so earlier!" Ichigo said before he jumped up on the bed getting ready to jump out the window. "Come on what are you waiting for!" Ichigo said to Renji to follow him as they both flash-stepped out the window. As they were running on the rooftops getting closer to Orihime's house, both Renji and Ichigo to see something in front of her house.

"There it is!" Renji said as he and Ichigo looked at two giant gates with two skeleton arms coming out of it. "What the hell is that?" Renji asked while staring up at the gates. Suddenly the gates began to open before it started to suck in the air and everything around it.

"Ichigo!" someone called out from behind Ichigo and Renji causing the two of them to look behind them and see Uryu and Chad running towards them.

"Uryu! Chad!" Ichigo said as he turned and look at the two of them before snapping his attention back to the gate after he heard Orihime scream. Everyone looked up and saw Orihime being s.u.c.k.e.d into the gate causing all of their eyes to widen. Ichigo immediately pulled out his zanpakuto and swipe at the gate before they closed but as he swiped his sword the gates vanished with Orihime entirely leaving behind not even a trace of spirit energy.

"ORIHIME!" Ichigo yelled out as he realized that his childhood friend was just kidnapped.
