“Of course, when I first met him. I didn’t think much of him. He was just the lieutenant of a fellow captain. I was too busy as a newly appointed Captain and worked on creating the Shinigami Research and Development Institute.”

“Nine years alter, I found myself involved in a strange case. I had sent my lieutenant aling with a team to investigate while I had to attend a Captain’s meeting. When I heard that the Reiatsu of the investigation team had vanished, I pleaded with the Captain-Commander to be allowed to go investigate. I was denied.”

Urahara’s eyes stare past you, as he seems to relive and retell these events. “However, I wasn’t going to standby and do nothing. I used a Reiatsu concealing cloak but was found by the captain of the Kido Corps, who accompanied me. In secret we observed it.”

“Aizen’s confession. About his Zanpakuto’s real ability, and about how he experimented on the shinigami of the investigation team to Hollowify them. As he moved to kill the Captain in charge of the investigation team, I interfered. As I confronted Aizen, he showed me, for a moment, his true self.”

“Aizen’s Zanpakuto’s real ability?”

Looking to your left, you see Rukia looking confused before Urahara nods his head.

“Yes, his ability is that of Absolute Hypnosis. He can make anyone under it see anything he wants them to. It was the perfect cover for him.

“However, he escaped and I had a choice. I could chase after him or save the investigation team. Hollowification was a term I myself had invented. It was one of the ‘solutions’ I had come up with to strengthen Shinigami souls. However, I had discarded it.”

“Discarded it?”

Urahara once more nods his head at Rukia‘s questions. “Yes, the breaking down of barriers between Shinigami and Hollows is a possible way to strengthen souls, but it comes as the price of Soul Suicide, where the soul cannot withstand the process and perishes.

“But, as I was saying, I tried to work on them, to reverse the hollowification process, but it was all part of a trap Aizen set up. He had used his Zanpakuto to create an alibi for himself and place the blame on me for the fate of the investigation team. I was to be tried as a criminal and they were to be dealt with as hollows.”

A disgusted look crosses his face as he grips his hat, his hand tightly clenched. “Only thanks to the intervention of a friend of mine did we escape along with the investigation team. I created gigai for us and worked on trying to reverse the hollowification process.”

He looks directly at you. “That’s the reason why I was able to save your mother, Ichigo. Obviously, though, Aizen has continued his experiments in the past century, except he seems to have taken more of a focus on experimenting on hollows now.”

Opening his arms in a wide gesture, Urahara shrugs. “That’s my side of the story on who Aizen is. It’s up to you two to decide if you believe me.”

>[X]Ask About the associate.

Your father seems to trust him, and he helped save your mother’s life. If nothing else, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. You do have some questions though.

“Who was your friend? The one that saved you?”

Urahara seems to perk up at the question and dons his bucket hat once more. A wide grin crosses his face. “Why, Ichigo? Do you want to meet this person?”

At your nod, his grin seems to widen even more and he gives a nod. “Alright. When my friend returns from the business they’re out on, I’ll be sure to invite you over to meet them.”

Slightly wary of this, you decide to change topic tracks. “Could you train me to be a shinigami?”

Urahara scratches at his chin, a devious look in his eyes. “I don’t suppose why not. Come by when you have some free time and I’ll give you lessons. Anything else?”

“So why is the Soul Society so against Quincy Powers anyway?”

Urahara’s grin seems to drop but the voice that answers you isn’t his, it comes from next to you. “That’s because hollows were once the souls of people, known as pluses. When the chain of fate corrodes, they turn into hollows, monstrous creatures that wear masks to hide their identities. They’re driven to madness and seek to consume to fill the emptiness where their heart should be. “

Rukia pulls out a sketchpad and seems to draw something while explaining to you. “When a shinigami’s Zanpakuto destroys a hollow, it purifies them and the restored plus goes to Soul Society. However, when a Quincy destroys a hollow, it is completely destroyed, creating a spiritual imbalance between the living world and Soul Society.

“When the Shinigami tried to reason with the Quincy, they were refused. The Quincy would never allow the monsters that ate their loved ones to be allowed to rest in peace after all the suffering they caused. This eventually led to a war between the two. Soul Society won, but there’s still a few Quincies left as they were agreed to be left alone so long as they no longer used their powers.

“That is why you must never develop the Quincy blood’s powers in you, Ichigo.”

She holds up something on the notepad that you can’t immediately see.

Looking down and to your left your train of thought freezes. In her hands is a notebook, but the contents of which are horrible. The scribbles seem to be a rabbit and… bear? Representing hollows and pluses, but honestly, it sucks. You mouth opens as you automatically let out a smart-ass retort.

“Do you mind me asking why your drawing abnormally suck?”

Twenty seconds later, you now have a marker moustache on your face as she stuffs away the notebook, her face red and full of irritation. Ignoring it for now, you turn back to Urahara.

“Are there any other Quincies?”

Urahara pulls out his fan and taps it against his chin thoughtfully. “Well, yes, I suppose there are, but I don’t think they want much to do with you Ichigo. You are a shinigami now, after all and most Quincies hold to that old grudge quite tightly.”

>[X] Come Clean

“Yeah, but couldn’t they become my problem since I’m now a shinigami?”

At your question, Urahara scratches at his chin. “Is it possible? Yes. But I’m not revealing the identities of Quincies without a good reason. I don’t want you getting involved and doing something stupid that could get Soul Society’s, and Aizen’s, attention on you.”

At that point you freeze as you remember your actions earlier today. “Ah, shit. I think it's too late for that Rukia. Remember earlier when I told you I didn't have anything to do with that soul at the park? I lied. A hollow was attacking the kid, I know you warned me but I couldn't just let the kid get eaten.”

She freezes at this, looking to the side at you as you continue.

“I used that blut ability to punch it to death, not knowing the bigger picture. I'm sorry, I know this is something serious enough to start wars over.

“However, I think it stands to reason that I -do- need to develop these powers further. Look what happened just a few hours ago, I activated the same ability on instinct against Urahara, imagine if it were a lesser shinigami facing me.

“I understand the importance of not using the Quincy abilities to disrupt the balance, but how can I do that if I can't even control them to begin with?"

At your apology, she looks thoughtful. She doesn’t seem to reply but seems to be thinking of what to do. Across the table, Urahara perks up.

“Well, obviously you need to develop your Shinigami abilities more. If you become more reliant on how to use your Shinigami abilities, there shouldn’t be any problems as they should take precedence over your Quincy blood.”

You see Rukia nod her head, considering Urahara’s abilities as another though occurs to you. “So, its some sort of cycle or reincarnation between soul society and here, then? There’s no heaven or hell?”

>>25560046
Soul King is a dick. most likely.

>>25560107
Rukia pauses, considering an answer, before speaking, her words careful and measured. “No, there is a hell. When a soul who commits evil deeds in life dies, they go to hell when they pass on. Most souls do go to Soul Society, though. There’s also Hueco Mundo, the realm where hollows reside.”

“Wait? Hollows are evil. What’s the difference?”

Rukia nods her head at your words, looking pleased.

“That’s a very good question. The actions of a hollow are very instinctual, their mask hiding their hearts and minds. Many hollows are feral and seek to quench the hunger in their soul and fill their hearts. However, they are a twisted reflection of a soul most often then not.

“When a soul is purified and judged for its crimes, it is innocent of the crimes it committed as a hollow, only guilty of those it committed when it was alive. It is one of the arguments that brought Quincies and Shinigami to war.”

You nod your head, understanding the Shinigami side of the argument. However, another thing was added up.

“Hueco Mundo? A world of hollows?”

It’s an odd name that reminds you of some of the Spanish words Chad brings up occasionally. At the term, both Urahara and Rukia look at you as you think about something as you look at Urahara.

“You mentioned that this Aizen guy will focus on experimenting on Hollows from now on. Then, wouldn't it be likely for him to get his samples right at the source?"

Urahara looks contemplative before shaking his head. “Unlikely. Only hollows can enter Hueco Mundo, so unless Aizen has reverse-engineered the technique, he’d have to rely on capturing or making hollows. Still, that’s a good point, I’ll look into that.”

>>25560552

Your stomach growls loudly as you realize night has fallen. “I should probably be getting home. Yuzu’s probably worried and I still need to eat dinner.”

You look over at Rukia. “You coming? Also, are you able to eat as a Shinigami?”

Rukia shakes her head. “Not unless I inhabited a gigai body and I don’t have one in stock.”

Urahara’s eyes light up. “Well, you could always borrow one from me, Miss Kuchiki! I’d be happy to lend a hand.”

At his words Rukia looks conflicted. You…

As you look a Rukia, you try to convince her. “It's up to you, Rukia. I won't force you to come, but you're welcome to join me if you feel like it.”

More than your words, though, she seems to be affected by your attitude: impatient and in a hurry. She shakes her head at you before gesturing towards Urahara.

“No, I’m fine. Go have dinner with your family. There’s a few things I want to ask him.”

She seems certain and it doesn’t look like there’s anything you can do to convince her. As you re-enter your body, much more easily now, you notice Urahara searching through some boxes for something before throwing it you. It looks to be some sort of Pez dispenser.

“If you ever need to leave your body, ingest the pill in there. It’s a mod soul, which will fill in for you and allow you to exit your body in spirit form. Use that if you find yourself in any trouble.”

Nodding at him, you begin running home. As your approach home, you…

This.
Check out this roll faggots.

Yeah I did. I learned some heavy stuff, I'm honestly not sure how we proceed from here as a family. Laying low has generally worked for Urahara and even you, dad. But I don't know if we can just wait out every event that comes our way.

"It was a Hollow that killed Mom, wasn't it Dad?"

Ichigo should have realized it already by this point. Then...

"I want to bring the one (Hollow) that killed Mom to justice. And I'll do it with this power, I promise you that."

We need to do some Hollow killing and soul purification 101. Disregard if it's too much metagaming.

Also, supporting these...

>[X] Tell Isshin you have your shikai, whatever that means

As you finish your meal, you turn to your father. “So, apparently I got my shikai today, whatever that means.”

Isshin‘s eyes bulge and he chokes on the water he’s drinking. “What?!”

As your sisters watch confused, you nod your head. “Yeah, that basically how Rukia reacted, too. What’s so special about a Shikai anyway?”

Isshin pounds at his chest as Yuzu moves over to pat him on the back. “It’s a rather significant stage where a Shinigami’s Zanpakuto spirit emerges, allowing them to bond closer tot their wielder, it also allows the shinigami to learn to use its abilities as their spiritual bond deepens. That bond between you and your Zanpakuto spirit is important, Ichigo, don’t take it for granted. What’s its name?”

You recall the man in black, your Zanpakuto spirit. “His name’s Zangetsu.”

At the name, Isshin’s eyes widen before they relax and he allows a smile onto his face. “Huh, guess you’re really my son after all. My Zanpakuto’s name was Engetsu.”

Isshin looks proud of you, before he looks contemplative. “How did you achieve that, anyway? It normally takes years for even the most talented Shinigami to get that far.”

You shrug. “Guess it helps if you’ve got Hat and Clogs trying to kill you.”

Your sisters look lost and Yuzu grabs your sleeve, shaking it. “I’m lost, Ichi-nii! What does any of that mean?”

With a quick chop to her head, you look at your sisters, who look at you and old goat-chin for answers.

You…

We are not going to be stupid by keeping them in the dark.

>>25561379

Bare essentials only though.
Enough so they'd know that when they see/sense a Hollow (although it's just Karin), they should call for Ichigo's aid.

The cat's already out of the bag, no harm in telling them stuff now.

>[X] Fill them in

As best as you’re able to, you inform your sisters of the basics Shinigami and Hollows and impress upon them the importance of not trying to fight them themselves. It takes a little while, but with a few assists here and there from goat-chin, they seem to get the gist of the situation.

After getting them to promise you not to do anything reckless, they head to bed along with Isshin. You look where Rukia sat yesterday before remembering that Urahara gave you something. Fishing out the dispenser, you look at it before pocketing it.

As you head to bed, you wonder what tomorrow will bring.

BLEACH QUEST VI END

TO BE CONTINUED

>Sorry, got to wrap it up early tonight. Will have when next Blach Quest is tomorrow afternoon on the twitter

I find it strange that, at this point, street punks are more dangerous than a Hollow or two former Shinigami Captains.

Getting our shit kicked by really stupid stuff is a /tg/ quest tradition. It has to happen at least once eventually, so we can just be thankful we got it out of the way early.

>Shinigami and Hollows and impress upon them the importance of not trying to fight them themselves.
I hope they don't listen to us. Karakura superheroes needs to happen.

Thanks for running, OP.

>>25561797
Oh? How bad did it get in other quests? I know in Fate/Stay Again we set ourselves on fire trying to fix a bike.

>Oh? How bad did it get in other quests?
We critted on understanding a formula for Spacetime the QM didn't intend to see solved.
Needless to say, reality was pretty PISSED at us and shunted the protagonists off into an alternate dimension. Then again, the quest's motto was the old "Magic is science" saying, so I guess it fits with the theme.

PredQuest had a fun one.

On our first hunt we almost died to a fucking space trout. Ended up with like three broken ribs and we were one roll away from being eaten alive before we finally killed the thing by tearing our way out of its throat while it was trying to swallow us.

To this day, 100% of our serious injuries have been caused by random aquatic wildlife that we never really intended to fight.
