New Life, New Beginning | Sequel to the Misfortune Champion

As everyone continue to look at the silver-haired, eyes closed, creepy smiling Captain, Jidanbou was shaking with boh fear and nervousness. "Who is that?" Ichiro frowned.

"The Taichou of the Division 3, Ichimaru Gin." Yoruichi said.

"Ah, 'tis isn't good."

Suddenly, Jidanbou's left arm got cutted pretty badly, blood shooting out of his wound and he groans in pain, forcing the giant to drop his critical injured left arm and forcing his back and right arm to hold the wall and crashes into his knee. Everyone look in shock.

"Jidanbou!"

"Unacceptable. A guardian of the gate isn't supposed to open the gates." Ichimaru said, still smiling.

'Shoot. We were careless... I didn't expect that someone like him would come all this way. Even if these kids have become strong, a Taichou level's strength is beyond imagination. They cannot fight him. We must avoid that worst possible scenario!' thought Yoruichi, and the injured giant look at Ichimaru.

"I... lost! Opening the gate is what is expected of a gatekeeper who has lost!" Jidanbou said, and the Taichou chuckled softly.

"What are ya sayin'? A gatekeeper who lost isn't opening any gates." Then, he approached Jidanbou. "When a gatekeeper loses..." Looking up, a very scary expression plastered on the silver-haired Taichou face. "... it means... "death"..."

*CLANG!!"

Both the sword sword and the massive trench knife collided, as both Ichigo and Ichimaru back away. "I-Ichigo!" Yoruichi exclaimed, everyone looking at him in shock as the spiky-haired boy point Zanryuga at Ichimaru.

"Teme. What the hell are doing?!"

"That's my line, boy!"

"Don't come now and try to butt in, you fox-face!" Glaring dangerously at Ichimaru. "Anyone who'd attack an unarmed and innocent guy..." Ichimaru look in curiosity and notice his eyes glowing a bit with blue color. "...will payed by me!"

"Yare, yare. You're one scary kiddo. Though, you're not scared o' me?" Ichimaru asked.

"Tch. Nope!"

"H-Hey! Stop it, Ichigo? We will retreat for now!"

'Huh... Ichigo? So then... He's the one... The son of the head of the Kurotaiyo family.'

"It's okay, Yoruichi! I'll just end-"

"So you're Kurotaiyo Ichigo."

Ichigo look at Ichimaru in confusion, obviously about the name he spoke and Yoruichi's eyes widened. 'How? How did he know Ichigo is actually a Kurotaiyo instead of Corvus?!' Yoruichi thought in disbelief.

"Huh? How did you know me? And I'm not really Kurotaiyo Ichigo. It's Corvus Ichigo." Ichigo corrected in confusion, as Gin look a bit surprised and smiled.

"Just as I thought, ya don't know about your father and yer heritage." Ichimaru turn around, and walk away.

"Huh? H-Hey, where're you going?! Tell me who I am!"

"Ya wanna know? To put it in a blunt way, the Kurotaiyo family was back then the most well-known royal family around Soul Society." Ichigo's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. "That's what little old me know all about the Kurotaiyo family. Your eyes shows 'dat. I can't let ya and yer friends passed."

Then, Ichimaru draws his short sword to his side, confusing Ichigo. "What're you gonna do from that far away? You're going to throw your Zanpakuto at me?" asked Ichigo, as Gin look over to his shoulder.
