Bleach: Sword & Castle

We see four young men, one has a lean muscular body with peachy skin and bright orange hair reaching his neck. A pair of golden brown eyes.

He also wears a grey school uniform with a crimson V-neck shirt, a black hooded jacket with a white fur trim, a silvery five pointed cross neck chain and finally a pale golden elongated skull ring on his left middle finger.

The other three appear to be delinquents skaters. One of which is kicked strait in the face, "Lil Yama!" one of the remaining boy shouts.

"ALRIGHT," the ginger shouts aggressively, "You there," he points to one of the skaters, getting a confused and scared look. "What's that?" the ginger points behind himself to knocked over vase with flowers.

The skater points to himself uncertainly, "Uuuhhh, I guess an offering for some kid that got kill here?" he questions. The ginger suddenly gives the skater a round house kick, "CORRECT! You why is that vase on its side?" he questions the remaining skater.

"One of us must 'ave knocked it over when we were skating by!" he replies panicking, only to receive a drop kick to his jaw. "Than apologize or the next time the flowers will be for YOU!" he ginger bellows. "WE'RE SORRY!" two of the three scream in terror as the bolt, dragging their one friend away.

Snorting, the ginger turns towards the vase, only now a ghostly image of a young girl cover in blood and with a chain sticking out of her chest. "Thank you, maybe now I can rest in peace," the ghost says gently.

"It's fine, but you should really pass on over to the other side," the ginger says softly as a places the vase right up. Giving the ghost a gentle smile and a wave a walks away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We now see the young man approaching a house with the words 'Kurosaki Clinic'. As the ginger reaches towards the door handle, he stiffens slightly and moving towards the side as he opens the door.

"YOUR LAAATTEEEEEE!" a voice exclaims as it flies by with a flying kick. A resounding boom follows as the voice crashes into a bunch of dumpsters.

"When are yougoing to stop with these damned sneak attacks, Goat chin?" the boy exhales in irration.

Isshin stands up dusting himself off, "Never! Besides you know that dinner is strictly at seven, young man," he lectures. The sound of chirping is the only response, as he sees the door closed. Running forward, he discovers that the door is locked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ichigo, welcome home," Madaki greets her son warmly. "Hi, mum," he responds lazily as he gives her a one armed hug. "Still disregarding your father," she scolds with a chuckle and getting an annoyed grunt from ger son.

"Ichi-nii!" a cheerful voice calls out. Ichigo braces himself as he catches small human missle. "Hi Yuzu," he greets his little sister. Looking up towards the stairs he sees his second sister, Karin, as she comes down. "Hi Ichigo," Karin greets lazily as she goes for a hug aswell.

Chuckling as he hugs both his little sisters and taking in their presence. Yuzu is a cheerfull girl with short light brownish blond hair held with a small strawberry hairclip. Like their mother she has soft gently features and light brown eyes.

Karin on the other hand has shoulder length black hair and dark grey eyes, like her father with the similar soft features as her sister. Both have somewhat aristocratic traits, with Yuzu having a more Western beauty and Karin having a more classic Eastern beauty.

Chuckling he reaches down grabbing both girls just below the thighs and picks them up in a seamless and casual manner.

The three siblings now moved to the living room couch to sit and chat. Isshin walks in, standing next to his wife. "I'm happy to see the three of them so close and normal, and safe," he states with a hint of peace. Chuckling at her husband's old man behavior, she rests her head on his shoulder. "Indeed," she says happily.

The room is filled with a sense of peace, love and tranquility. Ichigo suddenly starts sniffing the air, "Is something burning?" he asks. Everyone's head snaps towards the food, only to see black smoke coming from the pot.

"Who wants pizza?" Isshin asks sheepishly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We now see Ichigo on his bed, a blue duvet with a white cross and a black pillow with an odd skull motif. A shout out to his Quincy and Hollow heritage.

"I'm telling ya king, just shove the ginger babe into a supply closet and rock her world," a due toned voice calls out from inside his soul. "Honestly Ichigo, I agree with the Akujiki, if only if will keep him quiet," a more muture voice responds.

Sighing, Ichigo closes his eyes, "Just cause she's my girlfriend Aku' doesn't mean I can just sleep with her when ever I want you know," he says in exasperation. Akujiki just pouts, "Come on king! Ya can't tell me ya can look at them melons and peaches and not want to smack or fondle them." A snort escapes both Ichigo and Castiel, "Oh I know, I get a handful regularly and we had a pretty intense make out session. Why are you complaining?"

"Cause come on! You should totally tap that hot ass King. Stop being a pansy!" Akujiki whines. "Children. I'm surrounded by children," Castiel laments. Ichigo just snorts at the antics of his Zanpakto spirits. The three stiffen when they see a young woman pass through the wall.

The woman is short and petite, has shoulder length black hair with several bang over the forehead, large purple eyes and soft elegant features. She where a white kimono undershirt, a black kimono shirt and black hakama pant held by a white sash. She has socks and straw sandals on her feet.

Narrowing his eyes, Ichigo notes the zanpakto at her side.

"I sense a strong spiritual presence nearby," she says softly. Her eyes suddenly widen as a gasp escapes her mouth. She falls forwards rubbing her sore rear end. "You know, if your a thief, your not particularly good," Ichigo drones.

The woman whips around looking on in shock. "D-did you just k-kick me?" she questions flabbergasted. "Considering that was my foot I just planted in you behind, you tell me," Ichigo replies blankly.

The woman slowly gets up and studies Ichigo, "It rare for humans to see spiritual beings. You must be defective in some way," she says as she pokes and prods Ichigo, much to the amusement of Akujiki.

Lifting his hand, he flicks the girl on her forehead, "Ok enough jokes. What are you doing here." The girl rubs her forehead with flustered pout. She suddenly turns serious as she pulls out a sketchpad from... somewhere and draws.

"I, am a Shinigami. A being charged with protecting the balance of the world. I protect humans like you from creatures known as hollows and send the souls of the departed to the Soul Society," she says seriously.

"Ok, I get all that. But why do your drawings suck so much?" Ichigo questions with a sweatdrop due to the poor childish drawings.

"My drawings do not suck. You just lack taste in art," the girl defends as she slowly draws her sword. Tensing at the sight, Ichigo readies himself to summon his own zanpakto for combat. Before things can escalate the girl draws her sword and places the but of the sword against the head of a male ghost.

"I don't want to go to the underworld," he says fearfully. "You need not worry, you are destined for a better place, the Soul Society," she comforts the souls as he slowly sinks into the flower in motes of pale bluish white light. Quickly all that remained was a black butterfly, that slowly flutters away.

"Ok, say I believe you, what are you doing here?" Ichigo asks. "Well, I was tracking a hollow but I can't seem to pinpoint it's location. Its like something is interfering with my senses," she replies. Opening his mouth, he stiffens as he hears a duo toned howl that isn't to far from his house.

Eyes narrowing, Ichigo bolts through his window, surprising the shinigami. Suddenly the presence of the hollow bears down on her. Fearing for the human's life the chases after him.

"You fool!" she shouts angrily. "You can't do anything against a hollow, you're just a human!" she yells while going after Ichigo.

Unknown to the shinigami, Ichigo's arms have a molten orange glow wreathed in a crimson flame like aura and sharp black claws.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ichigo quickly dashes past a few houses as he locks on several hollows. Not wasting any time he targets the closest hollow taking a mantis like appearance.

He suddenly fades away in a quick burst of speed followed by a flicker of green light. Landing infront of the first hollow, Ichigo launches upwards with a flaming uppercut blowing the hollows head clean off.

Turning towards the next spider like hollow Ichigo launches forward from the air with a green ripple, landing a devastating right hook to the hollow's back followed by the sound of a sickening crack and a blood curdling scream. Ichigo than delivers a fiery axe kick right on top of the hollow's skull, splitting it in half.

Raising his left arm, flowing with crimson circuitry like patterns, he blocks a knife hand strike from a bipedal reptilian like hollow with a beaked mask. Using the offending arm as leverage, Ichigo flips upwards landing a double kick to the mask, caving it in with a sickening crack.

Pointing a finger towards the fourth hollow, Ichigo quickly fires a bullet of crimson energy straight between the eyes.

The fifth, a bat like hollow seeing his comrades quick death turns tail and tries to fly away. Ichigo gives an annoyed glare at the retreating hollow. Tensing his legs Ichigo leaps towards the hollow and grabs it's long rat like tail and swings it towards the aspalt road, causing a small crater. A pitiful whimper leaves the bat hollow's disfigured mask, only to be curbed stomped by a falling Ichigo.

"Wha...," the shinigami just stares completely caught of gaurd as she arrives at the scene, a costly mistake. "Behind you!" Ichigo shouts. Eyes widening she turns around only for a large amphibian like hollow to bite into her shoulder. Luckily for the shinigami, Ichigo charges forwards, grabbing the hollow by his jaws, before ripping the jaws open and apart.

The hollow recoils in pain. The shinigami falls to the ground, bleeding profusely. "Aagghh," she groans. "Hey hey, hold on. Where are your friends? Where should I take you?" Ichigo rapid fires his questions. "N...o... ti...me... you must stop the hollow. Destroy it before it has the chance to devour the souls of others," she rebukes while gasping.

Nodding Ichigo turns towards the hollow had it glares hatedully at him, from it's place on the ground. In an instant the hollow rights itself and disappears into a blackish void and Ichigo charges forward with a fist raised.

Stopping and searching for any signs of the hollow. Said hollow slowly exits the void behind the shinigami. Sensing the threat both Ichigo and the shinigami turn around as it reaches for the shinigami.

The hollow's movement is stopped by a blue arrow obliterates it's arm.

"AAAAAGGGGGGHHH," the hollow bellows as it holds it's stump. "Get away from my son you monster," interrupts none other that Mamasaki herself. Blue bow and warrior's scowl in place.

"Mom?!" Ichigo shouts in surprise. "Not now Ichigo, grab the shinigami and run away!" She bark out and he obeys.

"GETSUGA TENSO!" the familiar voice of Isshin bellows out, wearing a shinigami outfit with a white cloak, steel pauldron and flaming zanpakto in hand.

The shinigami girl and Ichigo just stand there, mouths agape. "The actual fuck?" Ichigo and Akujiki question.

"Well that happened," Isshin jokes as she sheathes his blade while walking towards his family and guest. "I'm sure you both have questions, but for now, we need to treat miss Kuchiki," Isshin says seriously.

"I'm sure you're scared and confused Ichigo, but we'll explain. For now," Masaki start. "Come cry in mommy's bosom!/Come cry in daddy's chest!" both parents exclaim, Masaki with open arms and Isshin by exposing his hairy chest to the world, both with great enthusiasm. Ichigo just sighs pinching the bridge of his nose, face aflame. The shinigami just whips her head around in confusion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm sure you have questions Ichigo, but please understand that everything is far more...." Masaki begins. "I all ready know about mostly everything, just not the more personal details. Like dad being a freakin' Captain of all things," Ichigo interrupts bluntly.

Both his parents and the shinigami look on flabbergasted. Seeing this Ichigo sighs, "Remember a couple of years ago when we where attacked by that hamster hollow. Well, I've known since then and I've been mastering my powers," Ichigo questions.

The eyes of his parents just widen, realizing how long Ichigo's been aware of everything. The shinigami just looks more confused.

"My zanpakto spirits," came Ichigo's own response. "SPIRITS? AS IN MULTIPLE?" came the shinigami's outburst. All eyes on her, the shinigami blushes in embarrassment.

"You're Rukia Kuchiki, right?" Isshin questions. Rukia stunned by this turns towards the man, "I'm sorry, but who are you exactly?" Isshin stunned by this question sulks in a corner with a dark rain cloud above his head.

Giggling, Masaki turns towards Rukia, "Isshin used to be known as Isshin Shiba, captain of squad 10," she says, giggling again at Rukia's stunned face.

"Anyway, Ichigo what's this about multiple spirits?" questions Isshin sitting besides his wife once more. Snorting at his father's antics, "Yeah I have two, both with their shared zanpakto name and their own individual names."

The other residents give a confused look, "Yeah, they have two names. There's Castiel he represents my Quincy side and my secondary off hand blade. Then there's Akujiki, who represents my Hollow side and main hand blade."

"Quincy and Hollow?" Masaki questions with uncertainty. Nodding, "Castiel, Akujiki," Ichigo calls out. Suddenly the shadows in the room writhe before two figures form within. Standing on Ichigo's right is the white form of Akujiki and on the left is Castiel.

The gasps follow their arrival. Isshin's serious gaze is locked on Akujiki, Masaki's terrified gaze on Castiel and Rukia's confused gaze rapidly switches between the spirits and their master.

Rukia suddenly gains a serene expression, "I see." She promptly passes out, much to Akujiki's amusement if his mad cackling is anything to go by.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After her fainting episode, much to her embarrassment and the amusement if the rest all eyes turn to Ichigo and his spirits. "So how do you have two spirits of Hollow and Quincy nature?" Rukia asks.

"Well as you can guess, their zanpakto nature comes from Goat chin and Castiel's Quincy nature comes from mom. We never found out the reason for Akujiki's Hollow nature," Ichigo admits.

A quick look passes between the two parents, "Well you got both your Quincy and Hollow powers from your mother," Isshin starts getting startled looks from the rest. "I came to the human world roughly twenty years ago to investigate a hollow attack and the deaths of my squad station here in the world of the living. Eventually I found the hollow responsible, but it fought more like a Shinigami than any other hollow I've ever seen."

Seeing the serious looks from the four youths, Masaki continues, "That was the sceene I found when I saved Isshin here, I lured the hollow in by letting it bite my Blut Vene," getting nods from the boys, but a confused look from Rukia.

"When it bit down I blow its head at point blank range," the mother replies cheerfully getting fearful looks from everyone in the room.

"After Masaki saved my rear end, I left for the Soul Society, but I couldn't get her out of my head. So, I snuck back here, found Masaki going through Hollowfication," Isshin continues. Four horrified expressions stare back at him.

"I friend of ours helped out, and we managed to save Masaki at the cost of my shinigami powers, which have gradually returned over the years. I'm still not at my hundred percent yet though," Isshin finished the story.

Rukia has a flabbergasted look on her face. Ichigo has a distant look on his face, contemplating the information. Castiel's face appears indifferent, but one can almost see the gears in his head turning.

Akujiki's face remains unreadable with the mask, however, "So doesn't that technically make ya 'Our' mother? Can I suck on ya tits a d call ya mommy?" Akujiki questions almost innocently. His repsonse. A owlish look from Masaki and Rukia, a deep bellowing laugh from Isshin and two fists two his face courtesy from Ichigo and Castiel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After thoroughly beating Akujiki, Ichigo sit back down on the couch. Give his parents an annoyed glare at their amused looks. Rukia wisely looks away, but with a noticeable blush and scandalous look on her face.

Castiel disappeared back into Ichigo's shadow dragging Akujiki by the scruff of his neck.

Deciding his son had enough embarrassment for the night, Isshin turns towards Rukia. "So Miss Kuchiki, how many Shinigami are currently stationed here in Karakura with you?" Isshin questions.

Rukia looks up from her cup of fresh tea given to her. "We're two shinigami currently stationed in Karakura town, Shiba-Sama," she answers respectively. Getting an annoyed from Isshin, a disgusted look from Ichigo and a giggle from Masaki.

"Miss Kuchiki, just call me Isshin or Kurosaki-San. I've never cared for all that formal crap...YEOCH!" Isshin exclaims as Masaki twists his ear with a smile.

"Language Isshin," Masaki chides with a dark smile. Getting an amused snort from Ichigo. Rukia decides ignore the family's strange antics and continues, "Very well, Kurosaki-san. I'm staitioned her with Lieutenant Hisagi of squad nine."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile we see a young man with dark hair and eyes with three scars over his right and the number 69 tattooed on his left cheek. He wears a standard sleeveless version shinigami Shihakusho with a black choker and band on his right bicep.

This is Lieutenant Hisagi, and currently he is rolling on the ground holding his groin in pain as an angry red faced dark haired athletic girl is standing murderously over him with a black and lavender sports bra and camo shorts.

"YOU SICKO PERVERT! HOW DARE YOU TRY AND PEEK ON ME!" she bellows in rage as she kicks him in the ribs. Groaning Hisagi quickly tries to right himself only to recieve a kick to his face.

After several more attempts to right himself, he manages to right himself and creates some distance between himself and the wrathfull girl.

"Look, I'm sorry! It was an accident! I swear!" He tries to reply, this servers to only further infuriate the girl. "Accident my ass! How do you accidentally sneak into my room and stare strait at me!"

"I didn't think you'd see me!" he replies quickly, this proves to be the wrong thing to say. Steam erupts from the girl as she lunges at him with thoughts of homicide on her mind.

Reacting quickly he quickly moves to the opposite side of the room from the girl. A befuddled look crosses the girl's face at the sudden disappearance. Looking around she spots him behind her.

"Wha...THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT!" she roars. Having enough of the girl's anger, he roars back, "IF YOU CALMED DOWN AND LET ME EXPLAIN!" taken aback the girl just stares owlishly. A deep sigh escapes the man as a looks down only for his eyes to lock onto the girl's breasts.

Face suddenly exploding with colour Hisagi qiuckly turns on his heel, turning his back at the girl. The girl is caught of gaurd by this gesture as she slowly remembers her current state of dress. Face turning a brighter shade of red due to both rage and embarrassment. She quickly puts on a black shirt before marching towards the man with heavy steps.

Thinking that the girl is decent, Hisagi turns his head slightly to the side only to recieve a deceptively strong right hook to the nose.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two dark haired occupants of the room, now sitting down, the girl with a fierce glare and Hisagi with a broken nose and shamed expression.

"So. Explain," the girl bites out. Hisagi gives a deep sigh, "Ok, I should start. I'm a soul not a living being," the girl cutts him off, "BULLSHIT!" she bellows.

Sighing again, "How do you think I got in? I pass through the wall with the help of a Hell Butterfly," he said pointing to a pitch black butterfly sitting innocently on the the girl's windowsill.

The girl looks skeptical, but admits to herself that it was strange how this man simply came into the room. Seeing her attention on him, he continues, "I passed through the wall to move through the area to find other spirits."

Raising one of her brows in inquiry, "What for?" she questions. "I'm a shinigami. My jop is to send spirit to the afterlife and purify corrupted souls known as hollows," he replies. Seeing her confused expression, he decides to elongate on the nature of hollows.

"Freaking soul eating monsters, right. NOT! Do I look like an idoit to you?" she mocks. "Have you every heard of strange events that happen without propper explanation. Those are hollows attacking other souls," Hisagi growls out.

"Ok, say I believe you. Why the FUCK WHERE YOU IN MY ROOM?" she roars. Hisagi flinches, " An accident! I swear! Sometimes its quicker to move through building than going over them, because hollows and souls will often attack or hide inside buildings."

The girl narrows her eyes making Hisagi feel a cold sweet creep down his spine.

Before she can interrogate Hisagi further, a distant roaring echo reaches their ears. "What was that?" The girl questions in shock. Hisagi narrows his eyes, "A hollow," he replies before blitzing out of the room. The girl both curious and concerned runs after Hisagi.

Following the sound of the roar the girl reaches the nearby park, only to freeze when she sees the man fighting a large tailed gorilla like hollow.

"Hadou #33 Sōkatsui!" Hisagi shouts firing a burst of bluish flames at the hollow. The hollow however shrugs it off and tries to swat at Hisagi.

Hisagi manages to dodge the attack and land a shallow cut in the hollow's arm with his Zanpakto. The hollow lashes out with its tail from Hisagi's blindspot, "Watch out!" the girl shouts catching him off gaurd.

Hisagi gets thrown into a tree with a small branch peercing through his shoulder. The girl quickly runs to his side, "Hey! Are you ok?" she asks, a pained groan her response, "Yeah, Stupid question. Sorry," the girl suddenly goes ridged as she felt the stomps of the hollow, moving, towards them.

"What do we do?" she asks worriedly. She was a regular schoolgirl, what could she do. A deep melancholic sigh escapes Hisagi's mouth. "I'm in so much shit," he mutters. "Listen girl, there is one thing we can do, I'm in no condition to fight with this damn hole in my shoulder. So that leaves you," "ME? What can I do, I don't have any fancy powers or something," she states.

"No. Not yet anyway. I can transfer some of my power to you, problem is there's no guarantee you'll survive. Our current situation makes that kinda moot and we'll die anyway. So what will it be?" Hisagi states with a groan. Prying himself from the tree, right arm hanging limply.

A sigh escapes her mouth, "Okay how do we do this?" she asks reluctantly. Nodding Hisagi grabs and lifts his sword with his remaining arm. "Simply put. Grab the sword and stab it into your heart, I'll do the rest. Don't resist what follows," he says bluntly. Gulping she grabs hold of the sword. "I'm Tatsuki Aizawa," she introduces herself. "Shūhei Hisagi," he replies. The blade is than plunged into her heart and an explosion of energy follows.

Hisagi sits their in a white kimono, looking stunned. The hollow suddenly bellows as its wounded arm fall to the ground. Tatsuki stand behind it with a sleeveless shihakusho holding a mildly short zanpakto. "Ok, this is pretty nice," she states as she looks down at her sword.

The hollow bellows in pain and turns its madded eyes at Tatsuki. Grinning she charges at the hollow. "Aim for the mask, that's it weak spot!" Shūhei advices from the side. Nodding Tatsuki jumps up and runs along the hollows remaining arm, before she cuts shrait through the mask horizontally.

She jumps from the hollow and lands infront of Shūhei. She grins at him victoriously, before passing out on the ground. Shūhei despite himself laughs at this.

"Well you look like you could use a little help shinigami-san," a voice from the side is heard along with the sound of wooden clogs.
