Negirau Atashinchi (Bleach Fanfic)

Revisiting

Urahara stood in his shop fanning himself. Boredom set in after the war, causing him to become moody, which in turned caused Yoruichi to need to come and go, not necessarily though to Soul Society, as the goal incurred not being driven insane by the candy striped man's own moods. Truth of the matter, without Kurosaki Ichigo having shingami powers, nothing exciting happened.

He heard the sound of a gate between the worlds opening, and he called for Jinta, who had gotten back from school to take over the counter. He headed to the back room, just in time to see Hitsugaya Toshiro stepping out with Hinamori, Matsumoto and the female Kuchiki. Urahara raised an eyebrow. "What do I owe this honor for?"

"Twelfth division's computers took notice of a shingami reiatsu going off yesterday," Toshiro stated, his face twisted up in a rather stern look on his face.

"Don't you look cute," the man stated, not at all pleased with not seeing a smile on the small taicho's face. "Grumpy as ever I see."

"I am not here for pleasantries Urahara," the preteen shingami sighed. "Have you heard at all from Kurosaki?"

"Have I heard?" the man shook his head. "What I've heard is about his siblings, and that is from my two young employees."

"They aren't of concern this mission," Toshiro stated firmly.

"Are they not?" Urahara snapped his fan shut. "So, what is your plan?"

"Hinamori and Matsumoto are going to stay here, while Kuchiki and I head over to Kurosaki's place," the small taicho stated.

"You've had a growth spurt... well, a small one," the candy striped man spoke up.

"Again, we aren't here for pleasantries," the white haired youth snapped out.

"Anyways... what is the game plan when you get to Kurosaki's place," Urahara snapped his fan open and began to use it. "He won't be happy seeing Rukia-chan unless he is able to see her in shingami form."

"I know that," the small shingami let out a sigh. "That is why I'm going in shingami form."

"But if Kurosaki can't see anyone," the man continued.

"That is why I happen to be going in my gigai," Toshiro stated firmly. "This way I can ask Kurosaki if any of his friends have noticed something. Also... if he doesn't show any signs of power... well." There was a short pause. "The thing is, no one thought to retrieve his substitute shingami badge, and I've been tasked with that in case he happens to... not be regaining his abilities."

"You don't sound like you are happy about this," Urahara commented, despite the fact that the young boy's face remained emotionless.

Hinamori suddenly blinked a couple of times. "Why would Hitsugaya Taicho be unhappy with this? A mission is a mission isn't it?"

"I forgot that you were out of commotion during most of the build up to the Winter War," the man sighed. "Did you really have to bring the other two?"

"There is a chance that it is something else, and if so, we may need to take care of it," Hitsugaya commented. "I am hoping it is just Kurosaki."

Ichigo walked home from school, not at all pleased with having to beat up a whole group of thugs, simply because he had beaten one of them up. Well, he hadn't beaten the guy up, simply nailed him for stealing someone's backpack. It went without saying that the young man had been asking for it. Of course, he hadn't wanted the incident to effect what was now a normal life.

Uryu had for some reason taken it into his own initiative to scare the guys off. Of course, Kurosaki didn't like having him fight his battles for him. The men received a rather large pummeling, which caused him to draw attention of the teachers. They of course were not pleased with such a thing coming and tainting the reputation of their school.

Kojima came out to his defense though, explaining that the reason that the men had come to beat up Kurosaki, was the fact that Ichigo had indeed punched one of them in the face. However, there was also the fact that the man happened to have stolen someones bag, and Ichigo was working on getting it back.

However, Ichigo's actual strength came out, and the teachers stated firmly, it wasn't a good idea for him to be playing the sports for the school. It wasn't so much that he had an advantage over them. It was more along the lines that his strength ran the risk of hurting another student unintentionally. This meant he had nothing to do.

That also meant that he had to be around the house near his father. He happened to have a problem with being around the man, once he knew that he had been a shingami. The man happened to drive him insane before, but the fact that he wasn't at all truthfully with him, and the fact he knew Isshin could be serious irritated him.

Uryu wanted to talk to him about something, but he ended up brushing the whole thing off to get home. He opened the door and headed up the stairs, hearing Yuzu in the Kitchen. He heard a soft sobbing coming from the girl's room, and then opened the door, only to have the preteen yell at him to go away. "Great... I'm guessing she just hit puberty."

At that, he walked into his room, and then paused. Sitting on his bed was a familiar face, one of their legs crossed across his lap. "Toshiro?"

"That's Hitsugaya Taicho," the young shingami stated. "You don't have your powers back, do you?"

"You can tell I have no reiatsu , can't you," he sighed.

"There is another shingami in the room with me," the boy stated firmly..

"Who?" Ichigo asked.

"It doesn't matter, does it?" Hitsugaya let out a sigh. "There is something I need to talk to you about."

"Like why you're curious about my powers coming back or not?" the young man sighed.

"Seriously... Soul Society business... you shouldn't worry about it," Toshiro glanced away. "There was an odd signal around here. A shingami."

"Wouldn't you have identified my reiatsu if my powers had come back," Ichigo sighed.

"I guess..." the small boy spoke up. "We wanted to know if you've heard of something."

"Nope. Sorry." The teenager stated firmly. "I'm glad I don't have to deal with any of that crap anymore. I finally get to live a normal life."

"Really?" This comment from Toshiro caused Ichigo's head to suddenly shoot up. A rather hurt look twisted onto Toshiro's features. "There is one other thing I need to talk to you about."

"The Substitute Soul Reaper badge?" Ichigo pulled out his bag. "I'll get it for..."

"Something the matter Kurosaki?" the boy stated firmly.

"It's not here... I remember seeing it the other day..." Kurosaki blinked a couple of times. "I umm..."

"All right... what is it?" Toshiro snapped.

"I think I may have dropped it yesterday, or something, when that guy had his bag stolen," Ichigo stated.

"You are a fuckingidiot," Hitsugaya muttered.
