New Beginning

Chapter 10

The first thing that Ichigo notice when he returns to consciousness is that everything felt numb, the second thing was that his connection to his zanpakuto was almost nonexistent it was still there but strained.

‘Shiro? Old Man? can you hear me?’ not getting an answer the orangette tried to move but found that he was hamper by his arms and legs being bound. ‘damn they are never going to let me live this down.’

Struggling a little with the rope on his legs he was able to loosen it to the point that it slips off and he was able to get in a sitting position. He was now working on his arms when the door to the room he was in slid open and Byakuya stood watching the orangette looking at the lose ropes and an almost freed teen.

‘great just what I need,’ Ichigo thought rolling his eyes in the process. But outside, “Can I help you with something Byakuya?” it was more of a habit but Ichigo suppresses a winch when his habit slip from his mouth but he did enjoy the twitch the other man did.

“You will address me as Kuchiki-sama or Captain Kuchiki while you are here,” came the nobles stern reply not all too happy of some common teenager being familiar with him.

“Yeah not going to happen.”  Ichigo said nonchalantly but inwardly smirking.

“Insolent boy your time here can go smoothly or it can be the most painful experience that you’ll ever face.” The noble said not a hint of expression hitting his face.

“Doubt that,” again Ichigo’s tone had no effect on the noble but the orangette could see that this Byakuya was the same as the one he faced when he went to save Rukia in his world so it wouldn’t be a surprise to him if he irritated this one too with a little pushing.

“I see that you are going to be troublesome but no matter soon you will be the perfect soldier.” The raven said before entering the room followed by his red headed lieutenant and others. Ichigo notice the redhead had kept himself between Ichigo and Byakuya and the orangette couldn’t help but channel his hollow zanpakuto personality.

“So Renji, enjoying your time being his little puppy,” Ichigo watched at Renji’s face matched his hair and mentally laugh when the redhead tried to punch him in the face only to be stop by the raven hair Captain. “I mean you’re always following him around I am waiting to see ears and a tail pop out or a leash though I didn’t think Byakuya would be into that.”

“What was that brat,” the red head growled.

“Renji act like a lieutenant,” was all that Byakuya said before he took a place behind Ichigo with Renji taking a spot in front of the orangette. Both ignoring the teen as they mutter something that Ichigo couldn’t hear and before the teen could move his ropes came alive and encircle him again but tighter. While struggling to loosen them up he realized that he was surrounded by Byakuya’s followers.  

‘what are they up too?’ the orangette thought but before he could think his body froze then needle pricks of pain assaulted his senses. Granted he felt worse pain then this but it still hurt.

“heh not so tough now you little brat.” Renji sneered down at the twitching teen. His smile turned into a frown when instead of pain fill cries the teen on the ground was laughing.

“Oh I know that I stronger then you monkey this is nothing.”  Ichigo huffed as the pain dulled before popping his neck and shoulders. “I can kick your ass ten ways to Sunday ya damn monkey reject.”

“Why you little—

“Lieutenant.”

“Captain?” Renji flinched at the cold look he was given. “Understood Captain.”
