The King of Hueco Mundo (Bleach AU) Discontinued/Up for adoption PM _Chrisco_

Awakening of the King

No one's POV:

Ichigo Kurosaki was a relatively normal teen. He went to school, studied and lived with his family. He did karate, had a lean, muscular figure and was a natural orange-haired kid. The only thing different about him was that he could see spirits. One night, he would come to curse his innate gifts, that was the night it all changed.

Ichigo had been laying in bed when he heard a shrill scream. Then he heard a BOOM from downstairs. Fearing for his sisters and father, Ichigo had rushed downstairs to see a large white monster. it had what seemed to be a mask on its face. The beast was closing in on Yuzu and Karin, Ichigo's younger sisters.

Thinking quickly, Ichigo grabbed some debris from near him and threw it at the monster, yelling "HEY UGLY, GET AWAY FROM MY SISTERS!" The monster turned its attention from his sisters, now going for Ichigo.

His sisters had stared in horror as Ichigo ran, but he was unable to escape the surprisingly fast, hulking monster. It had grabbed him and roared in his face, throwing him into a nearby wall. He landed and it jumped, stabbing Ichigo through the heart. Ichigo's sisters both screamed out his name.

As everything went black for Ichigo, he reached out his hand for Yuzu and Karin. The last thing he saw was a lady in the blade, wielding a strange katana appear and slay the large monster. His final thought, At least my sisters are fine, at least I lived up to my name... I protected them.

Hueco Mundo - A random desert plane

The residents of Hueco Mundo could feel it. The presence of a being that should be both feared and respected. A blast of Reaitsu was sent through the entire land. Many figures looked up from their positions, towards the source of this frighteningly large source of power.

At the centre of this Reaitsu source, lay a body. It was humanoid in form and its skin was completely white, with the exception being six large, black lines spreading out from the hole in the middle of their upper chest. A long orange mane, that seemed to reach their lower back, came out from under what seemed to be a bone-white mask. The mask itself had two horns protruding from each side. The mask also had the black lines going through each eye hole.

The collar bones, wrists and ankles were lined with a deep, blood-red fur. The fingers of the creature were claw-like in shape, each one was normal-sized in proportion to the rest of the body. The feet had talon-like toes, each one has pointed nail-like armour. The creature had tattered, black sleeves covering both arms and connected to a centrepiece that covered just the front parts of each shoulder and half of its back. On the bottom, half of the being was a long waist cloth that was tattered at the end, just like the sleeves. Under the waist clothe were long black pants, these were also in tatters at the end and tied around its waist with a white rope.

Besides the creature was a long, pure black-bladed katana. The blade was 76cm with the hilt being about 25cm. The crossguard of the blade was circular, with four bands coming from the hilt and connecting the two through the open space of the guard. The hilt had three red, diamond-shaped pieces under the black silk-like cover and a black chain coming from the bottom of the hilt. The blade was in a long, plain black sheath.

Slowly, the beast moved and began to rise. It seemed to be groggy, it was as if just waking up from an incredibly long nap. After shaking its head, it stood on its two legs and rose to its full height, standing at 7 feet tall. The mouth of the face was lined with sharp teeth, each on rectangular at the top and pointed near the end. The gaps in the mask each had seemingly glowing gold eyes shining through the abyss. It was now that the mask seemed to resemble a strange human skull with horns. Slowly the beast bent forward. In a sudden motion, it threw back its upper body from the bent-over position and roared. The roar was deep and monstrous. The shockwave of the roar caused the sand around it to blowback and the rock underneath to shatter in rectangles angled towards the source of the sound in a small crater.

Ichigo's POV:

I don't know why I roared as I did. I simply felt the impulse and followed its direction. Looking around my location, I realised I was in a desert. I don't know how I got there, nor why I was there. All I knew, was that I had died and that my name was Ichigo Kurosaki. Looking down at my hands, I realised my skin was bone-white and each had a pointed black nail. Looking through my hands, I saw a long black katana. Looking at it, I had a sudden urge to hold it. I don't know why, but I knew it was mine.

Slowly, I bent over and grabbed the blade. As I gripped the hilt a sudden flash of images raced through my mind. I saw two young girls, one with brown hair and one with black. I saw a muscular man with black hair, and I saw a girl with bright orange hair. The images slowly faded and I heard a voice. It was in the back of my mind and I couldn't really hear it, but it was slowly getting louder.

"go...chigo...ICHIGO." The voice was shouting and it felt as though it was right beside me. I looked around but no one was there. "relax, Ichigo, I'm not your enemy, in fact, I'm you." I was shocked at the last line, speaking out loud I said, "Your me?" My voice was deep and had an echo behind it. "Well, more like I'm a part of you, would you perhaps like to meet me?" The question caught me off-guard. 'How can I meet myself?' I thought. "simple, just sit down and meditate." I was, once again, taken off-guard by the fact that my thoughts were read.

Doing as I was told, I sat down and crossed my legs, resting the katana across my legs. Closing my eyes, I fell into a deep meditation. I opened my eyes, I realised I was no longer in the desert. Now I was on the side of a large skyscraper. Standing up, I looked down at my hands. They were back to human. Suddenly I felt my body. I was human again for some reason.

"If you're done admiring yourself, I am here." I stopped, recognising the voice that spoke to me in my head. I turned around and saw a man with long black hair, a sort of goatee, and a long, black, tattered cloak that fluttered in the non-existent wind. He was standing atop a pole, strangely. "Hello, Ichigo."

I was stun locked for a moment, before I replied, "Hello...me?" He chuckled lightly, before saying, "I am not you as in you, I am you as in I am a piece of your soul, your Zanpaktou to be precise... well, close to precise." He said the last part with a slight chuckle. "damn right close to, I'm here to you know." A new voice spoke, it sounded like my voice in the sandy place and I turned to see, myself, only completely white and with black and gold eyes.

"T'sup, king." He said as I looked at him. I looked on for a moment before asking, "What the HELL is happening?" I was honestly shocked, what in the world was happening. "You are inside your mindscape, or inner world if you prefer, and we," The elder man said motioning to himself and the white me, "Are your Zanpakuto, your soul cutting swords." I looked at him questioningly, "My Zanpakuto?" I enquired. "Yeah King, we're each a piece of your soul that are swords." I looked at him, "your...a sword?" My voice was laced with doubt. "Yes," The elder man replied, "You have already seen us in our physical form, these are our spirit forms," I remembered the black blade I had awoken with.

"so, your that black sword I had? That's you?" I asked. "yep." replied the other me, opping the p. "wow," was all I could say. "yeah, we are pretty amazing aren't w-," he broke off his sentence at the last moment, "what is it?" I asked the now serious-looking me. "It would appear a strong being is approaching us in the physical world," spoke the elder piece of my soul. Worriedly, I asked, "what do we do?" the white me smiled, before saying in a cheery voice, "we KICK THEIR ASS." 

I smiled hesitantly, "But I can't fight, I'm that strong you know." The elder piece of my soul looked at me and said, "Don't worry Ichigo, we will lead you through this fight." With that, I was ejected from my mindscape to fight.

---------------------------------

A/N: lol, I would've put the fight in, but the chapter is already pretty lengthy, so I'll save it. Who do you think Ichigo will Fight? Here's a hint, He's big...very big and likes the number 0. That is a good hint. What do you guys think of the story? I hope it's alright. I'm thinking of making Ichigo the level of the captain commander, maybe a little stronger with his final form. Dunno, let me know. Byeeeee :p (note this is all for fun and all rights to the pictures belong to their respective owners and Bleach is the property of Tite Kubo, I am not making any money off of this.)
