New Life, New Beginning | Sequel to the Misfortune Champion

22

When Ichigo head off to sleep, his mind was trying to take in the information Yoruichi had given him.

Obviously, he wasn't really lying to him as Yoruichi had given them right information and he's one of the few people he could really trusted.

So needless to say, the cat wasn't really lying at all. That Ichimaru Gin did said his real name for the first time, and Yoruichi, including Urahara, knows about his heritage and all because of Arceus.

Thinking about Arceus, Ichigo mentally facepalm himself really hard because of how many lies is that God going to keep.

'Dammit. That was a lot to take in...' Couldn't fall asleep, Ichigo got up and look at his Zanryuga, leaning against the wall. 'Zanryuga-ossan... Are... you really real? Is your existence real? The Ossan with shades...?"

Suddenly, everything around him froze and Ichigo gasped when someone appear in front of him. "I see you want to get to know me better, Ichigo. I am happy. I shall bring you to your inner world and met the other Zanpakuto..." Ichigo stare as Zanryuga place his hand over his forehead while benting down on one knee.

Once he opens his eyes, Ichigo found himself back to the half skyscraper and half forest. "Huh?" Looking down, he panicked and fall himself onto the ground. "Ohoho, my God!!"

"What are you doing, Ichigo?"

"Isn't it obvious?! If I don't stay like this, I'll fall like last time!"

"You needn't worry about that. That time in the Shattered Shaft, you only fell because your Hollow transformation caused the destabilization of your inner world. But now it is different. Look. See that forest over there? When you first came here, it wasn't side turn like this one." Zanryuga said, walking past Ichigo.

Deciding to trust his words, Ichigo stood up and saw what he said was true. "So then, why is this other guy you wanted me and him to met up?" Ichigo said, crossing his arms and look around the place.

"It seems he is taking a rest after the Hollow transformation ended. My apologies."

"What?"

Turning his head at Ichigo. "The person I wanted you to met is your first Zanpakuto. I am merely the second manifestation of your father's second Zanpakuto, as he is a dual-wielder. We serve as your Shinigami powers, but the people also serve another powers raging through you." Zanryuga said.

"Then... How is this person? What is this power you speak of?"

"... I cannot tell you your other powers. It is too early to show you. As for this person, I imprisoned him under his wishes as your Hollow transformation disrupt the demon within him. It won't be long before he breaks free and seek out a way of getting his powers back." Zanryuga said, as he materialize a weapon who Ichigo didn't recognize.

It was a purely black blade that is relatively small, about the size of Zanryuga's arm (he is really taller and bigger Ichigo), and is resembles a trench knife more than a sword. It has a dark red hilt with a very thin, about the size of 2 cm, hollowed-out portion running along the back edge of the blade from the base to the middle of the blade.

"What... is that?"

"This is your second real Zanpakuto. Or rather, my Zanpakuto. The Zanpakuto you have been using is a fake version of a Zanpakuto, I will gift you my Zanpakuto but you can't used your first real Zanpakuto. Since your first Zanpakuto isn't awoken yet, he can't gave you his blade."

Taking a gulp, Ichigo nodded as Zanryuga suddenly disappear, shocking him and look down, seeing the trench knife had pierced through his chest. "What...? Why is there no pain?" Ichigo muttered, looking at Zanryuga, who had a small smile on his face.
