Chapter Text

Tessa James Elliott hates her life. She truly does because at this point it must be a joke from God. Why? Well it's starts at the fact that since she was young she has been on the receiving end of heaps of bullshit after bullshit.

Her parents are both neglectful, cold and abuse. They chain her up and don't feed her for days when they don't like what she does and when she doesn't do anything they forget she exists.
She has very few people in her life that care which only include the drones she repairs and helps. Though then again she truly does love N, J and V. She hoped to finish repairing Cyn so that she doesn't have to keep getting locked in the basement which J seemed to enjoy a little too much.

That was until the Gala.

When V turned crazy with wings and Cyn went robo Satan on them all. She new that Cyn wasn't going to stop so she tried to fight her with J till the newly dubbed eldritch drone took control of her companion. Then she died. Painfully. She watched as everyone in the Gala was killed with her being last by the hands of one of the people she called family.
But it didn't end.
Somehow even after Cyn turned her body into a personal suit she didn't truly die. She could see everything that she did with her body. She could almost mistaken it for herself till she would see her arms and find a second set of drones hands sprout from her wrists. Cyn didn't know I was still around otherwise she would have taunted her but that didn't matter as she had to watch the destruction the small drone unleashed. She saw her family get turned into killing machines, witnessed the earth be devoured by the one now using her flesh as if she was the one actually doing it. She saw her eat more worlds and kill humans and drones alike. Tessa watched for over three decades as everything she knew was destroyed and assimilated by the drone she once wanted to help. Then it happened.

Copper 9.
She first thought it was going to be just another assimilation and the last with sentience. But then a worker drone full of gremlin energy came along and did the unheard of. She fought Cyn, truly fought her with the help of N and V. She wished J had joined them but her trauma and Cyn's control went too deep. So they fought. Uzi Doorman, N and V attacked Cyn and J. And the result? With Cyn's core ripped from their chest and hit with a [Null].
Then everything went Gray as Tessa James Elliott discovered something for the first time in 33 years. She could move. She couldn't speak but she could MOVE. She wanted to hug the kid and thank her but before she could she felt her arms move against her as they reached for the singularity in Uzi's hand and try to eat it. She could tell that Cyn wherever she was in the ball of energy and supernatural existence was trying to get back in her body. Tessa wouldn't let that happen as she strained and fought against her and had Cyn actually had any real power she would have won. But she wasn't going to let that bitch get anything.
All she could do was slow herself down but it was enough. She saw Uzi swallow the pulsing singularity whole as Cyn lost and everything gained colour again. She could feel when Cyn realise what happened. That I existed still but it faded as the eldritch drone was consumed and restrained by Uzi's powers.

Then she felt it. She felt like everything that kept her still here was breaking down as she saw both her flesh and Cyn's drone body melt away. She was happy she could help those three stop Cyn. She wished to speak to J, N and V one last time. So as she finally say darkness she did one last thing with her body before it was no more.

She smiled at Uzi

Masaki's pov

Ichigo was a very good kid, mostly. He was kind, energetic and curious like most children. But Ichigo is also different. Just ask him.
He had a nack for technology that made her think that her son was raised by Kisuke Urahara, a thought which never stops to make her shiver at what that bucket hat wearing idiot might teach her son if he knew. Ichigo was quick to pick up things and learn in school which made you rather proud.

Ichigo also suprisingly was rather feminine which she assumed came from all the times he would play dress up with his sister's. He always wore a bow he asked for once on the back of his head and even sometimes used to tie a bit of his hair. He also preferred wearing a yukata or other clothes that resembled a dress when he wasn't doing things like practicing at the dojo with his friend Tatsuki.
Masaki was though a little worried about other children bullying Ichigo for it like how they did for his hair.

Then there is his greater than average physical ability for his age. She didn't know which part of his heritage Ichigo got it from. Was it his innate Quincy potential? Unlikely as Masaki herself didn't. Perhaps it's his Shinigami or Hollow potential? Either is possible as she's seen from her husband Ishin. The Hollow that attacked him years ago also was incredibly strong. She herself suspects it Ichigo's hollow side that may be the reason for his strength.
But it isn't because she can feel hollow reiatsu from him because she doesn't.

It's because of his eyes.
She knows what hollow eyes usually look like with there black sclera and yellow iris, so when one day she saw after a dojo lesson that his eyes were black she grew worried. But they weren't normal hollow eyes either. They may have been black with yellow iris but the sclera almost reflected like glass and while his iris were yellow it could be better described as neon yellow. But what truly got her attention was that the iris wasn't a circle, but an X with no pupil.
They only lasted a dozen seconds or so and no one but her saw them but she knew they weren't normal. She went to Kisuke for advice as he told her to monitor him and tell them if it comes up again.
And it did. It has been for a month now with today being the ninth occurrence since it begun.

Nothing else ever happens except for the eyes but it's left her , Ishin and Urahara worried but the scientist hasn't been able to detect any hollow reiatsu from Ichigo besides the small amount that is in his soul like his soul reaper and Quincy powers. Whatever they are they don't seem to be hurting her son so she is willing to just monitor for now.

So as she is walking her son home besides the river she decides to suggest to the others that Ichigo should start to learn about his abilities as he has caught him looking at wandering souls.
"Ichigo dear let's keep going" you say as you pull him along as you go home.

Ichigo's pov

Everything has been going great today for me. I got woke up by mom as she gets me ready for school. I tinkered with the small clockwork toy she got me as I eat breakfast and greet Yuzu and Karin. I plan on playing dress up with them after I get home from school and trained with Tatsuki. School was okay but I seem to get things easier than the others so it gets a little boring when I have to wait for the others.

I noticed Tatsuki next to me finish our math questions as I speak to her.
"Hey Tatsuki are you excited for after school? I'm going to beat you today at the dojo!". Your declaration though didn't faze her except she gained a smirk"oh really Ichigo? You haven't yet so we'll just have to see besides what are you doing?" She questioned as Tatsuki noticed me fidling with the toy I have been doing since breakfast.
"I'm trying to set the gear in place so it matches properly*you say as you finish and wind it up by its top before setting it on its legs as you and Tatsuki watch it march around. "That's cool" Tatsuki states as she admires the toy.

Afterwards you, Tatsuki and the class play around for a while before you all finish school.
"Come on strawberry let's go!" You hear Tatsuki yell out as you and her enter the dojo after school and get ready for practice. "Stop calling me strawberry!" You respond to her nickname for you.
You both quickly get into your stances that your sensei have had you practise as you both launch at each other and start sparing while your respective mother's watched you and Tatsuki with amusement.

You both practice off and on for an hour as Tatsuki relentlessly beats you in every round except one where you trip her and pin her down. Though the joy doesn't last as she jabs your ribs and flips your positions
"Oh dammit!"you say as you get let up by your friend"nice try strawberry but I win again" you remark quickly"only because you cheated" you huff after your statement as you both end up bicker about it for a few minutes before your mom Masaki grabs your hand "hey honey it's time to go" you hear your mother tell you "okay mom, Bye Tatsuki!" You reply as you wave to your friend while walking away with your mom.

You get questioned about how your day was as you drink from your bottle. You tell her that like every day it was good but boring during class as you notice something. In the reflection of the see through bottle you see your eyes look different. The white parts are black and the brown ones are yellow and loot like an X. You blink as you look again to see your normal eyes.

Weird you think as you walk by the river under a umbrella with your mom as it rains when you notice a lady near the edge. You then get shocked when you see the lady slowly tilt towards the river and potentially fall it.
"Hey lady wait!"you say as you run towards the woman and loose your grip on your mom
"Ichigo wait!" You hear your mother cry out as you get near the woman before your mom grabs you and covers your body before you and her seem to go flying a few feet as you land in the dirt. It takes a few minutes to stop feeling dazed as you get up and from under your mom. You feel a cut on your forehead as it stings a bit a leaks blood.
What was that? You wonder as you then look down.

And you see your mother with blood covering her and a massive and deep wound on the middle of her back.

"MOM!" You cry out as you kneel next to her and shake her shoulder "mom wake up. Mom please wake up" you sob as you see your mom not respond to you.
Tears pour down your face as you cry and hug her cooling body.
"Mom please wake up" you whimper as you lay next to her and cry next to the river. Your sight gets blurry as you look at a puddle and see one last thing before you fall unconscious.
Black eyes with neon yellow iris in an X.

Chapter Text

Ichigo's pov I woke up slowly to a stormy and thundering sky as I notice I'm laying down on top of my home- What! You thought as you stood up and look around. Mom! Where is mom! "Mom!" Ichigo cried out as he began to panic "She isn't here Ichigo" someone to your left said as you turn and look at the one who spoke. You saw a man in his late twenties with long brown hair, a pair of red shades covered in a billowing black cloak as he stood on the side of a powerline. "Who are you and how did I get here" Ichigo asks as he looks at the man

"we're in your inner world king" a slightly echoing voice similar to yours speaks to you from behind as you swivel your head and body again to see the second person. They look like you except they look older, have white hair, skin, and black sclera with round yellow iris

Similar to the ones I saw before you thought 

"And who are you and what do you mean?" You question as the lookalike chuckles

"I mean we are in your head talking king and we" you see him point to the older man and himself "are Za-------" you only hear part of the name the white man refers to himself and the other as.

"I'm sorry what?" You question the pale figure.

"nevermind just call me Shiro and the geezer over their old man for now " the newly dubbed Shiro responds as you look at the two men. "Why am I here?" You question as the cloaked figure answers 

"It's due to your shock and fluctuating reiatsu or spirit energy" he says in a calm tone

"Wait like ghosts?" Ichigo asks

"Yes" the old man responds. You look at them both "what are you then?" You wonder as Shiro quips

"We are your zanpakuto spirits. Basically we represent you and your soul/ abilities " 

"Wait I have powers? That's so cool! I can't wait to tell mo-" you say before stopping as you remember what happened before you got here.

"Wait mom! I need to get back to mom! I need to help her!" You cry out as you panic

"I'm sorry Ichigo but you can't right now you are unconscious and won't wake for a while " you hear old man tell you. Ichigo quickly replies " but I need to help her!" 

"I'm sorry king but there isn't anything we can do to help" Shiro informs you as you fall on your knees and hands and cry full of teats as it begins to pour rain from the sky of the inner world "I hate the rain" the old man say quietly as both him and the Shiro try to comfort you 

"Why?" Ichigo asks the older looking spirit as he looks up slightly. The old man pats your head softly when he responds "it's because in your inner world, the rain represents your grief, sadness and despair Ichigo and I hate to see you hurt". You look down a bit ashamed that you cause him trouble.

"yeah no king don't even start more damn moping on us because I'd rather not need to be stuck in a boat with the old geezer due to this blasted rain" your more crass spirit remarked as he lightly chopped the top of your head. This action results in you giggling for a bit at the jab from Shiro as the old man nearly looks like he pouts.

"Thanks I needed that " Ichigo voices quietly as  he looks at Shiro

"No sweat king it's why I'm here" your pale counterpart answers. You see his eyes again as you remember the change in yours from earlier.

"Excuse me I have a question?" I decide to just bite the bullet for this since it's doesn't seem dangerous.

"yeah kingy what is it?" you see Shiro respond as he grows curious of my potential question.

"Are you the one to cause my eyes to look different before I got here?" My question seems to stop both Shiro and the old man in their tracks as they swivel their heads to yours 

"Ichigo what do you mean by that?" The old man asks you as I decide to elaborate as they both stare questioningly "I mean before I got here my eyes changed. They looked like Shiro's a bit". Ichigo see's their expressions turn from confusion to concern as Shiro crouches down with his hands on my shoulders "king, what exactly did your eyes look like?" behind him the old man looks at you with the same concern

"Well" you begin to elaborate "my sclera where black like yours and my iris was a bright yellow that was shaped like an X. It also had no pupil" I explain to them as you wonder if something was amiss 

"Shiro have you been doing this" the old man asks the other spirit 

"No geezer I haven't plus even if I did his iris shouldn't change shape nor lose the pupil. Whatever this is it isn't hollow " Shiro replies quickly and bluntly as I start to worry about what might be wrong with me 

"Sorry fella's that would be my fault" a female voice replies as you hear footsteps behind all of you.

Shiro and the old man move quickly in a defensive stance with Shiro's nails sharpening and growing a couple centimetres while the other generates what looks like a bow and arrow from pure energy.

Infront of the three is a silhouette of a teenage girl in a dress with curly hair and a bow on the back of her head like Ichigo but slightly tilted in one direction. The only thing that isn't black is the two white circles that are where her eyes should be

"who the hell are you and how did you bloody get in here!?" shiro questions as the old man steps forward "and what do you want " he asks the woman? Girl?

"Firstly mate I've always been here I was just tucked under this place" the woman says as she points at Shiro "and as for who I am well my name is Tessa James Elliott and I'm that little one's past life " she finishes as she then points to me.

"sure and pigs fly lady now start talking the truth" Shiro snarkily responds.

"What makes you think we'll believe that miss?" The more level-headed Old man asks you look on at the situation.

"simple, first off all three of you probably have a feeling that you should infact know me right?" She asks us as Shiro, the old man and Ichigo all look at one another as you nod and confirm it with the other two. Shiro reluctantly also nods as well as the old man. You all then look at the newly named Tessa.

"the second reason is because if you would take a moment and feel for my presence you might not find much excluding the connection between me and Ichigo" Tessa explains as the old man and Shiro do infact verify this while I stand behind them nervously 

"So why are you here then" you ask her as you step forward. You feel your two spirits stand firm but more relaxed 

"I'll be blunt about this Ichigo, your going to remember your past life or well... Me I guess. I'm here to make it easier for you " Tessa replies as she puts a hand on your shoulder 

"What exactly will that do to king" Shiro bluntly questions Tessa as she sighs

"it won't be exactly fun. To be clear there is a lot of fucked up shit in my life, his past life that he will need to process. He'll also gain a lot of my personality though then again we do already hold a lot in common. As for anything else I'm unsure but nothing will happen to you two but this place might change a bit due to the memories" Tessa tells them as she addresses the spirits at the end and gestures around her to the inner world.

"Will it hurt" I ask the representation of my past life 

Tessa looks down briefly before looking you straight in the eyes"yes, yes it will. But you will be stronger for it. And I promise that it'll help you protect the people you care about, okay?" She finishes as she puts her ands on your cheeks.

Ichigo nods to her and looks at his spirits searching for approval. Shiro looks firm before smiling gently "we'll be right here". You see the old man nod as they two step back and watch. Before you look back at Tessa you feel a name surface when looking at your two spirits.

"Zangetsu" you whisper in their direction with a smile. Both zangetsu spirits gain a comical expression as you turn to Tessa 

"So how will this happen?" You wait for Tessa to reply 

"just lay down and it'll start" Tessa informs me as I fall on my back and close my eyes. After a moment I feel something warm enter me, I feel Tessa- my past life become one with me. Now after 9 years of being reborn...

I remember everything.

My past.

J, N and V.

Cyn.

The solver.

The Gala .

Copper 9 .

That purple drone (Uzi?).

The true end to my old life, to my old world.

I wake up in a hospital bed with a machine hooked up to my arm. I look at the ceiling with black sclera and neon yellow iris spinning in an X.

"Hello world, I need to reintroduce myself " you whisper to the empty room.

"My name is Ichigo Kurosaki and I'm Tessa James Elliott." You grin.

Ichigo's pov

'Not the best start to my reincarnated life' I thought as I stared at the grave stone of my mother, Masaki Kurosaki. 

"No kidding king. This sucks".

"Agreed".

At least he had Zangetsu by his side, both his pale counterpart and the old man. It has been two weeks since his mother died.

Since he remembered.

Ichigo wishes he remembered sooner. His mom might be here he thinks.

"so what's the plan?"

"To get stronger. Smarter. Faster. To bloody make sure that nothing would hurt us or our family " you mentally answer with a stern face as Yuzu, Karin, my Dad and I walk away under an umbrella through the rain.

"We'll train you in the inner world with your abilities. Which ones do you want to start with?"

"As much as you think I can handle. But what exactly can I do" you question your spirits. 

"Well outside of your zanpakuto abilities like shikai and bankai you get the different hollow powers like cero, hierro, sonido, and mask you'll get possibly some unique ability. Don't ask it's something that I'm not sure on" shiro zangetsu tells me

"As for myself you'll gain the powers of a Quincy, which will be something we all need to talk about " the Old man states

Okay that all sounds bloody awesome you admit to yourself. Having what is possibly a large variety of different powers is a boon in of itself, but since waking up in the hospital a day after the incident Ichigo has wondered something. Why could his eyes change to resemble when Cyn used the body of his past life?

Sure he could explain it as excess hollow reiatsu mixing with his memory to produce the result which would make sense if two things didn't add up

1: Why could his reiatsu access his memories of her life as Tessa when neither of he nor his spirits could before he remembered himself?

2:his reiatsu wasn't giving any real hint to any of his nature previously from what both forms of Zangetsu told him so how could his hollow reiatsu do anything?

This is when Ichigo came up with a simple but potentially ground shattering theory.

What if parts of her life as Tessa were now also part of his life as Ichigo?

"That king has the potential to be very damn cool" my hollow partner remarked as I notice we have got home and you decide to comfort Yuzu and Karin before you try anything later.

"Good idea Ichigo, it'd be better for now to help your sisters through our mother's death. Plus before you try anything from when you were... worn, I advise we address the bodily problem you are currently suffering." the old man suggests.

"What do you mean Old man zangetsu?" I question mentally as you sit and hug with your sisters

"I mean that you have had problems moving around since you remembered. You also have been changing your pro-nouns constantly and nearly at one point forgot you are also Ichigo no not just Tessa." the cloaked man explains as he continues "you are still trying to fully put yourself together since you and your past life were properly connected. It's left you mentally strained and it's making you forget you aren't a  physically average teenage girl anymore but a nine year old boy who is half the size."

Okay that makes sense but does he really have to make it sound so humiliating? It also didn't help that Shiro was cackling in the back of his head. He also wants to get out of the blasted suit he was wearing for the funeral, both because it's reminding Ichigo that his mother is dead and because he so much prefers the nightgown and shorts his mom got him as pj's after he had asked.

Wait is that her/his life as Tessa kicking in making him like this stuff? To be truth maybe but that really didn't matter since both Ichigo and Tessa liked it.

But Zangetsu did also have a point about the pro-nouns. While currently he didn't mind either and honestly would like using both he needed to restrain it for a bit. If he were to accidentally start verbally changing pro-nouns constantly right after his mom died then most will think it's a trauma response in an attempt to cope. He didn't need them to try and 'fix it' when they wouldn't realise that Ichigo simply was remembering her past life as Tessa.

Okay that'll need work. I just have to make sure I don't start too soon and slowly get everyone accustomed to it.

Focusing back on his sister's, who were both calmly sleeping on the couch he decided that the theory and the rest can wait till tomorrow. 

Ichigo's sisters need him more. They need a big brother to keep them feel better. A big sister to guide them.

Good damn thing that he can be both I thought as I grab a blanket and cover all three of us as I quickly join them in sleep.

Ishin's pov

I did one last check on my kids as I notice them all sleeping on the couch together, something I can't disagree with after what happened.

Damn the Hollow that killed his wife. He fucking wishes he could still wield Engetsu so he could destroy them with his fire.

At least Ichigo or his sister's join her. He might have gone mad with grief. 

Speaking about Ichigo, he seems to have changed since his masaki got killed. Understandable since he was there. But something more seemed to be going on. Nothing he could prove but since it happened Ichigo has been very silent and almost not always there. That isn't mentioning how he seems to have problems moving as if he isn't used to his own body, which concerned Ishin.

Was it true that Ichigo's hollow power influencing or even controlling him now? Maybe but Kisuke seemed to think that it was simply his reiatsu affecting his physical body due to its conflicting nature, though even he was worried about the difference in normal hollow eyes.

Kisuke's current theory was that the X ship for the iris might be the result of Ichigo's Quincy power. There may not be much going on that any of them can see but it is possible to the scientist. Regardless he still told Ishin to keep an eye on Ichigo just in case once his son left the hospital two days after the Hollow attack.

So as he laid on his bed alone Ishin contemplated things. Should he tell them about the spiritual world? Hollows and how their mother died? Yhwach? He's knows that he's part of the reason for her death considering today would be one of the days part of the Quincy prophecy would be complete. Another person he wants dead for what the murder of his wife Masaki.

But today isn't a day for heavy talk and such revelations and If it was up them never would need to be. 

So right as he fell asleep Ishin remembered the eyes his son seemed to change look at his mother's grave.

Chapter Text

Ichigo's pov

I looked at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. It's been a few days since the funeral and till now I've been solely consoling my sister's and assist them similar to how our mother once did, which is a good thing since Dad has little to no ability for treating and maintaining hair.

Like seriously did he forget that shampoo and a comb exist?

Ichigo himself has been modifying his appearance to his own preferences. He now had the back of his hair tied with a Dark Navy Blue bow that had black tips. The front of his hair remained spikey and upright but he made sure to have it at point in mostly the same direction excluding the rogue strands that would curl in just the right ways to look good.

He wore a slightly baggy grey kimono that held frilly sleeves, something he asked his mother once that he wore constantly till the end of the last school summer break.

"so about ya theory king, how you gonna test it?" Came the question from my more lively spirit in his mind .

"First I'm just going to see if I can produce the change in my eyes that happened before, if I can then I'll try other things" you reply as you close your eyes and Invision the pair of black sclera and X-shaped neon yellow iris that held no pupils.

Ichigo then opens his eyes and see's those eye's.

Well that worked easily enough. You quickly think of them changing back as you see them glitch before returning to the normal white and brown. I then think of them changing again as they glitch back into their X shape.

"well that was damn boring king what's next"

Ichigo himself doesn't necessarily agree but fair enough. How about the teeth? Tongue?

"Ichigo regardless of which one you attempt next you need to be cautious please. Your eyes were one thing since we already knew they could transform but theses could cause changes that you may not be prepared for " came the reasonable voice of the second half of Zangetsu.

"Thanks I'll try" you reply as you quickly decide to try the tongue first. You focus on the image of the long tongue Cyn had when she used had been using my body after my supposed death. I felt a small tingle in mouth as I open my jaw to see my now grey, long and almost organic tongue as I played with it for a moment before dismissing it.

Well these are coming fast he thought as Ichigo then tried his teeth and waited for a second before opening his mouth again to check. My previously human teeth now we're a metallic and sharp edge as I inspected what were a small pair of incisors on each side of her new teeth that interrupted what would be a near flat curve on each of my jaws.

"now that's more like it kingy but I think we all know what you should try next" Ichigo's inner hollow responded as both you and your zanpakuto spirits knew what they meant.

The solver.

Neither part of Zangetsu had to actually look at the Solvers capabilities but from my life as Tessa I was very aware of the frightening potential they held. I wasn't entirely sure I wanted to know if I had the Solver but in the end I thought 'fuck it it's my power so I'm going to try'. You lifted your hand towards an empty conditioner bottle and imagined the solver glyph, it's hexagonal centre and three arrows shooting from it at equal lengths from each other as you thought of lifting it up in the air.

For a moment nothing happened. That was until a yellow Solver glyph appeared before your outstretched hand and around the bottle as it lifted above the counter.

HOLY SHI- "language Ichigo, but yes. Wow." my Quincy part scolded me before agreeing as well.

"Hahahahaha! Ichigo this is fucking brilliant! Oh we are all gonna love this!" Shiro exclaimed as neither the old man nor myself disagreed. The solver even without its transformations are incredible and downright scary, especially skills like [Null] that can punch through planets or in other cases eat them if the wielder decided.

Adding that to my spiritual potential and Ichigo personally believes that this might just be good karma for all the bullshit I got from God? RoboGod? Doesn't matter. The point is that I've just gone from potentially incredibly powerful to straight up shit in my pants Devil. People better hope hell doesn't exist or Ichigo might just go Doomslayer on it as practice.

"it does but please don't" the old man answers.

Okay... I'll put a pin in that for now.

"Well I'm going to be very busy" Ichigo says as he drops the bottle into the bin and dismiss the glyph.

"with us training ya and whatever plans ya got in your head absolutely!" Comes the reply of Shiro. Though then again it was something I expected since that just seems to be how he acts.

"Ichigo we need to talk face to face. Please go to bed and enter your inner world". 

'well shit this sounds bad' Ichigo though as he quickly obeyed and in a few minutes was in his bedroom and inside his soul.

I hastily sit Infront of my Quincy spirit and wait for him to start as I notice Shiro look stern and borderline enraged at something.

"So what is it Zangetsu?" I ask.

"I need to tell you something that relates to your mother's death." The Old man explains. Okay now I'm invested, what does he know?

"To explain I'm going to give a bit of context. This starts with a being known as Yhwach..."

Ichigo's pov (1 hour later)

For the past hour I listened. And now I want to kill.

"So your telling me that there is some old Quincy fucker with a God complex who nearly got killed, spent nearly a millennium in a veggie state and used his powers to stripped my mom of her own powers which got her killed... Do I have that right?" I ask my Quincy spirit.

"yes. I'm sorr-" he tries to say as you hold up a hand. "He isn't you don't apologize for him. I don't blame you. " You hug your larger spirit.

Ichigo then stands "well I know what I want to do. I'm going to become strong enough so he can't hurt anyone else I care about and if he tries anything I'll fucking destroy him" he says with steel in his voice.

"that I fucking agree with king" Shiro stands and grind manically 

"so do I Ichigo "  came the Old man.

"So then let's fucking start mates".
