Chapter 1: Hollow Attack
Notes: alright my Doods! Here is the first ever bleach story in my profile so here is what's gonna be different.
This story is going to be a rewrite of canonical events to how things I want them to be so if y'all have any ideas you want added just tell me and I'll see if I can do that.
If anyone has romantic pairings that aren't Rukia or Orihime nor Yaoi(I'm not homophobic, I prefer straight ships) just comment down. I want Uncommon Ships.
This story is made in Google Docs for Grammar and Spelling Error as well as being Beta Read by my boy @ZergPsycho so I don't want to hear any shit about my writing.

They say emotions are needed for one to evolve to a better version of yourself or it's emotions that compels someone to overcome ones limits and grow so to say emotions are a highly valued aspect of humans but there are times where humans are forced to seal away their emotions for a variety of reasons.
The most common reason was to never get hurt emotionally or closed off willingly but in rare cases is when humans go through an extremely traumatic experience.
Ichigo Kurosaki was laying their wide eyed and obviously shaking in great fear as he stared upwards towards a menacing mask that was attached to a body of a hamster was glaring downwards staring at boy despite ichigo's head was visible from the body that belonged to Isshin Kurosaki also known to be Ichigo's Father.
"What's this now? Hmmmm!? A child with high spiritual energy?! Haha! You boy is my ticket to be a Vasto Lorde!" The Hamster Monster exclaimed not caring if the boy understood his meaning however it shrieked in pain as it was shot with something causing the hamster to turn around with its glowing slits to narrow dangerously towards the man who intervened.
He was an older man around the age of Isshin but he had light purplish hair, glasses and a neat stylish white suit with a red tie "who are you!?" The Monstrous Mammal shouted until it took note of the sleek but dangerous looking bow in his right hand before connecting the dots "a Quincy!?" It shouts again but more on the fearful side as it primarily dealt with unsuspecting souls and reapers but never a Quincy.
"My name is Ryuken Ishida, Head Doctor of Karakura General Hospital and the non blood brother to the man you've slain. Yes I am a Quincy but I have been out of practice for years so my aim will not be as good back then however don't assume that I'm not good, I can still pop you in between your eyes from my distance" The Man known as Ryuken stated in a matter of fact tone before his eyes moved towards Ichigo who stared back obviously scared out of his mind.
'Do not worry little strawberry, me and Isshin May have differences in the past but the pact we made to protect each other's families had become our vows and I refuse to leave you in this monsters hands' The Man thinks to himself before his eyes returned to the monster who was slowly walking towards him "hmm, your spiritual energy is also quite high. I'm guaranteed to become a Vasto Lorde if I were to eat you as well!"
Ryu just snorted at this while raising his dangerous bow towards the malevolent creature "don't you know that Quincy and Hollow spiritual energy are toxic to each other? So I welcome you to show me otherwise but until that day...die" Ryuken then pulled back the string of the bow with a glowing blue energy appearing like an arrow then releasing the string while propelling the arrow straight towards the hamster creature.
The energy bolt struck the mask "AHHHHH!" It roared in pain, stumbling backwards slightly gripping its right masked temple that got chipped "YOU BASTARD!!" The Monster Yelled as it's red slitted eyes glared angrily at the Quincy man only to feel even angrier as Ryuken just stood there emotionless "hmm, I guess I overestimated my aim. I guess I should've followed Daddy's Advice and kept up with my training..but nonetheless, so long as I keep hitting the mask then you'll die"
Ryu raised his bow once again though not even using his other hand as blue energy bolts erupted from the handle that surged forward at the hamster which it jumped upwards then flipped back landing in the water, the monster's upper portion of his mask peaked out "I'll be back for my revenge...you and the brat" it said before submerging into the water leaving the spiritually aware humans at the river bank.
Ryuken snorted just as he walked towards Isshin's Dead Body then looking down at the orange haired who stared at the sky wide eyed and unmoving but overall safe in Isshin's dead arms, The Bispectical man slowly fished his right hand into his pocket to produce a phone which he starts going down in his contacts till he reached a phone number labeled 'Masaki'
Pressing the number is connecting the line until "Hello?" A high pitched and sweet sounding voice answered "Masaki, Isshin is dead" Ryu said bluntly almost breaking the news as swift as ripping off a bandaid but maybe too fast for the Quincy man as he heard an extremely loud "WHAAAAAAAAAT!?" It was so loud that it almost breached his right ear drum even caused the doctor to pull his phone back 'should I have been more subtle? No, she would've reacted the same..'
"WHAT HAPPENED RYU!?" the obviously worried mother and wife shouted into the phone which was as loud as her earlier reaction which kept ryuken to hold the phone away, three seconds past which allowed the Quincy man to pull closer to speak "I was walking to the clinic to take everyone out for a nice dinner with me and Uryu before I saw the Hollow 'Grand Fisher' kill Isshin while defending Little Ichigo, it escaped before I could it"
"....is Ichigo safe Ryuken?" The Kurosaki Wife asked worried for her eldest son's safety which the Quincy man reassured "do not worry Masaki, He's fine, he's safe so long as I'm here. No hollow will go near him" "...thank you, I'll drop Yuzu and Karin at home then I'll come" the phone disconnected in masaki's side prompting ryu to look back down obviously worried on what would happen on the boys mental state "I just prey this doesn't affect Ichigo in a Negative Way..." the Quincy man hoped to himself before kneeling down to place his right hand on ichigo's forehead.
-Years Later-
"E-...Eh...Excuse Me?" A shy like voice spoke up which a man lowered the manga of what seemed like the cover of 'One Punch Man' which exposed the face of an orange haired man who's hair seemed almost as long as a woman's hair but his deep powerful brown eyes told a story of rage, almost staring down the young child who dared to bring his mind out from his Manga Book.
"What." The Orange Head exclaimed deeply but almost sounded annoyed though the tone caused the boy to flinch and at the same time got the child's mother angry "excuse me!? Shouldn't you be nicer to the customers!?" "Considering your dumbass kid is taking away my time on reading manga..no" he exclaimed truthfully as he cared little about the 'Customers' in front of him.
The mother held a visible tick mark then raised her voice "I want the manager!" Though Ichigo raised an eyebrow before he raised the manga in front of his face again as a particular man in a striped green hat that casted a shadow over his eyes, a green coat with black diamond patterns on the bottom then complete with the mens PJ pants and clog shoes entered the room which was audible due to his clogs.
The light blonde man yawned into his right hand while his left which seemed to hold a cane on his wrist rubbed the weariness from his eyes "someone called for me?" The man said looking like he was almost ready to fall right back to sleep on the floor.
"This young man has the audacity to insult my child!" The mother exclaimed very angrily even glaring at the Orange top man while he just focused on the manga he was reading "is that so? And what do you expect me to do about that ma'am? If you're so agitated, you could always go to another shop" The Store Owner exclaimed before taunting the woman even talking with outrageous body language.
"Oh wait! We are the only candy store in Karakura! Unless you know another place that sells cheap and delicious candy lower than the general retail price" He stopped momentarily before opening his fan that he pulled out from his green jacket to cover his mouth "so if you have a problem with our customer support then call 1-800-Suck-My-Balls" the owner told the angry mother even speaking vulgar language in front of a child, not like the man hasn't done before.
The mother looked so angry that she was ready to pop a blood vessel "what is your name sir!" She asked angrily, even taking her son's hand into her own ready to blow this store "Kisuke Urahara, Owner of Urahara Candy Shop. Pleasure to meet you ma'am"
The woman huffing then stormed out the store with her child close by refusing to buy from a rude store owner leaving Kisuke to chuckle at the woman's retreating form "ahh, this is fun..Ichigo?" Hat n' Clogs commented then called his employee who despite looking like he was ignoring the owner but the blonde store owner knew that Ichigo was listening "while I do express that you find hobby's but I'm still running a business, try and look kinder when dealing with kids alright? How do you expect to be a parent if you look like that?" Urahara exclaimed while taking a jab at Ichigo's insecurity of his parents.
The Candy Man just laughed as he ducked under the One Punch Man manga book only to look serious "I'll try Boss, but I can't guarantee" "that's all I ask kiddo, now get going. You're off the clock now. Got school tomorrow" Kisuke said covering his mouth with his fan watching the orange top get up and grab his school bag before leaving the shop as swift.
The Mysterious Shop Owner just smiled at the young man leaving 'Not sure how you'd feel seeing your only son turning out like this Isshin, but be proud that your boy holds your priorities as a spiritually aware human now if only he could find a girl then we'd be in business! Heheheh-OW!' The Shop Owner schemed then screamed internally as he felt a sandal slap upside then turned to find a dark skinned woman with long purple hair tied in a ponytail glaring at the shop keeper.
"What was that for Yoruichi?" Kisuke exclaimed while puffing out his cheeks childishly at the woman but she just glared back at him "don't think I didn't know what you were thinking Kisuke, I won't have you corrupt my student!" "He's my student too, also as his teacher!-" Kisuke retorted swiftly and almost lectured the brown woman only for Kisuke to get slapped by her sandal once again which sent the man to the floor "NO! NONE OF THAT! SHAME ON YOU!" Yoruichi shouted at the shop owner angrily.
Ichigo is now seen walking down the street with his eyes glued to his book not caring for most things around him though a car speed past him on the road which caused a puddle of water to splash his outfit which was a school standard issue white button shirt with light brown dress pants though students have options to add to there outfit as vanity which differs from person to person.
In Ichigo's case for 'Vanity' would be five pronged cross necklace that the orange top as wrapped around his left wrist extremely tight to the point where it hardly comes off though another 'vanity' was the Japanese Katana that the man had looped under his belt on his left hip but Ichigo was heavily on the fact that he could casually walk around with a sword on his person at all times even somehow managing to keep it without in his school.
Ichigo looked up swiftly as he saw a girl who looked no older than a teen was running with a fearful face before her eyes managed to meet the powerful brown of ichigos which got her to stop almost feeling comforted by him "ROAAAAAARRRRR!" The Loud Shrieking is what pushed the young girl to turn her head in fear towards a terrifying creature which was charging on the road towards them.
It's upper half resembles a muscular man with a pure white hue with a hole on its heart cavity though it's head resembled that of a masked alligator which it's mouth was unhinged ready to chow on the souls but it's speed despite its abnormally large size, it was slower due to the tail lower body that seemed to make up its legs.
Ichigo's Expression did not change as he watched the Hollow charged right at him only for a swift grab of his sword to a wide slash that targeted the alligator's mask with enough power behind the attack to cut it in half, it roared in pain as it reached towards its damaged mask only to disintegrate into nothing.
Slowly resheathing his blade and turned towards the soul of the girl "got a large pool of spirit energy girl" Ichigo said bluntly and straight to the point which got the soul to flinch at the tone but relaxed when the swordsmen kneeled to her while unsheathing his sword "I'm gonna take you to a place where no Hollow will reach you" Orange Top said as he gently bonked the girls forehead.
The girls soul slowly turned into light then disappeared in a form of a black butterfly which flaps away from the orange haired man, Ichigo sighed as he resheathed his sword to start walking away back home while hoping no one would question his late arrival "Why do you not expose that part of you Master? Why choose to put up a rough and vulgar front?" A mysterious voice spoke that seemed that only the orange top could hear.
"What do you mean?" Ichigo asked while instantly figuring out what this 'Voice' was insinuating but decided to play dense in the matter "master, don't play dense with me. I know full well that you already know the point of this conversation" Ichigo groaned abit as he did not like having these conversations with the voice "it's because no one will come to me if I were to act like an Asshole, no one will ask for my help and in turn will try to do there own shit themselves. It's a way to inspire independence to others. That and I don't like people bothering me when I'm reading"
The Voice Merely Snorted at her Master "Asshole" "that's what I aspire to be Megami*" The Orange Haired Man finally spoke the given name of this 'Voice' before the man reached the door of 'Kurosaki' Clinic, Ichigo groaned as the man instantly knew he was late for dinner and that prompted a 'Fight' with Ichigo's Uncle.
Upon opening the door prompting the orange head to duck as a glowing blue sword was shot above him "AHHH, THE FUCK UNCLE RYU!?" The Swordsmen shouted angrily at Ryuken Ishida who stood at the head of the table in the kitchen and holding a dangerous looking bow towards the front door "Now boy, you were late for dinner so I showed you what happened when you were late. And on a related note; when did you start using such brazen language?"
Ichigo growled before stomping towards the stairs "Fuck Off Old Man!" The orange top exclaimed in anger which did not face the Quincy Man merely watching his nephew leave, He sighed for a moment before sitting down to look at the children.
Uryu who was Ryukens Biological Son was eating a bowl of rice while caring little for his brother in arms, Ryu knew that Uryu and Ichigo loved each other like brothers but one knew to leave the other when things get stressful.
Karin also did not care for what Ichigo had become which caused a wedge to come in between her and her older brother, therefore did not care what mess Ichigo gets himself in especially since it concerns the supernatural.
Yuzu watched her old brother leave with a very worried expression on her face "but...Ichigo-Niis food will get cold!" The youngest said obviously worried for her older brothers nutritional state only to be eased as her gaze looked upwards to Masaki who has an older face since the time at the river, as such faded orange and with a few greys on her bangs "don't worry sweetie, he will come when he's hungry don't let it bother you"
Ichigo opened his door in his casual pace often getting aggravated with his uncle about prying into his personal problems on which Ichigo preferred to bury especially when it concerns spiritual matters before turning towards his desk seeing a sheet of paper with writing on it so he walked over to read what was obviously left for him.
'Dear Master Ichigo,
Me and Yang had left for Hueco Mundo to look for any natural arrancars to join us in our fight against treachery so we will be gone for a few days.
Sincerely,
Your Loyal Servant, Yin
PS: Yang urges you not to eat her pudding cups'
Ichigo snorted at the handwritten letter of comrades, Months ago Ichigo was out hunting for rogue hollows before they could hurt any of the innocent souls nor living humans before finding two malnourished identical twins with deep red and deep blue hair almost close to death, not even attempting to defend themselves from the orange man.
So Ichigo did something that betrayed the front he kept on and nursed the two arrancar girls to good health on which they decided they served him as loyal servants which wasn't necessary for the Swordsman but Hollows tend to be stubborn so the man just agreed as to move the subject behind him so he could focus on other things such as getting angry at his uncle, working for Kisuke and the occasional hollow hunting.
"I hope they return soon, it's just not the same without the constant bickering and side chatter" Ichigo said slowly sitting down at his plain sheeted bed thinking about something "Doku, do you feel that something bad is gonna happen? Like I sense a distant explosion" "...that's the most random thing I heard you say" Doku said as it was true since Ichigo hardly ever thinks in randomness.
"Bah, I must be tired!" Ichigo said as he took out the sword from under his belt before laying in his bed along with the weapon beside him then closing his eyes letting the sandman's sleep spell wash over him
