Meet My Soul 8-Final

Urahara Shoten

Ichigo blinked slowly as he came back into the land of the conscious, he was warm and comfortable. He raised a hand and rubbed his eyes while yawning.

"Look who is awake." Urahara's cheery voice sounded close to Ichigo's ear.

"He's awake, it's my turn now." Shinji sounded much too cheerful as Ichigo yelped as he was lifted up and away from the warmth he had been laying on to find he was being held in the arms of the leader of the Vizard's.

"EH? Shinji?" Ichigo gapped at the grinning blonde.

"Ah your too cute Ichi, the others are going ta kick them selves for missing this." Shinji looked about two seconds away from either doubling over with laughter or from calling the other Vizored's to come and see their youngest as a toddler. With Shinji you never could tell.

"When I'm big again I will get you for this." Ichigo promised wiggling in the Vizard's grip.

"Aw don't be like that Ichigo." Shinji smiled widely. "You were always the baby of our group, you just look the part now."

"Oi, baby? Hiyori is smaller than me!" Ichigo squawked outraged, his cheeks turning pink.

"She's got a couple hundred years on ya." Shinji poked Ichigo in the stomach getting a childish giggle from Ichigo whose eyes widened afterwards while he slapped his hands over his mouth in horror.

"Too cute!" Shinji grinned making Ichigo pout while Shinji laughed at him.

"The SWA is going to have a field day with this." Rukia grinned happily while Renji snickered at Ichigo's expense.

"Hand him over Cheshire." Kyo easily plucked Ichigo out of Shinji's grip, placing his cheek against Ichigo's warm one.

"Gah, Kyo?" Ichigo eyed the insane hollow version of himself.

"We haven't had any time with King in his little baby form." Kyo whined, he grinned evilly at the others over Ichigo's head before he strode over to the other spirits and placed Ichigo down on Tensa's lap, the teenager wrapped his arms protectively around Ichigo.

"So did you have fun in Hudeco Mundeo?" Ichigo asked, noting that Nel had attached her child form to Chi who wasn't pushing her off in fact he looked rather content.

"Oh yeah, haven't had that much fun in ages!" Shiro grinned, ruffling Ichigo's hair.

"Oh I'm so glad I got kidnapped, I mean if you had fun killing things then it was all worth it." Ichigo deadpanned and this got snickers from his spirits while Kyo and Shiro just beamed.

Ichigo looked around the underground training cave to see Shinji and Urahara discussing something looking rather intense. The Shinigami vice captains and captains were discussing something with Tier surprisingly and it seemed to be going well. Grimmjow was actually a little ways off sparing with Kenpachi, both dirtied and grinning extremely happy at the fight they were having. Lilynette and Starrk were dozing on top of a large rock; clearly they didn't sense a threat so they were relaxed.

"Huh, this is weird." Ichigo muttered.

"I never thought I would see this happen either." Zangetsu said his voice low and Ichigo could pick up the undertone of being impressed at how the Shinigami's and Arrancar's were working together something the Quincy part of him could not even fathom before this moment.

"Figures, Grimmjow and Kenpachi would become best friends, at least he isn't bugging me to fight him anymore." Ichigo mused before a thought came to him. "Hey, was I sitting on Kisuke before?"

"Oh yeah you were!" Shiro laughed, throwing his head back while the other spirits just smiled or smirked (depending on who it was).

"It was adorable, you were fast asleep all curled up like a puppy on Urahara's chest." Higo smiled at the memory, deciding not to mention that Shinji and Rukia both got photos of it.

"I'm never going to live that down." Ichigo groaned, his cheeks heating up at Higo's words.

"Not a chance King!" Shiro cackled, but quickly stopped when Shinji and Urahara approached the group, Ichigo blinked as he felt a familiar reiatsu above his head.

"You have to be kidding me." Ichigo groaned dropping his head back against Tensa's chest.

"I see you felt it too Ichigo, your father is here and is demanding to see you." Urahara stated and Shinji gritted his teeth.

"I really rather not have him see me like this." Ichigo said before he winced as the door leading to the training area slammed open and Isshin dropped down. He glanced around, eyes zeroing in on his son. His jaw dropped seeing his son was a child again and in the middle of his spirits with Shinji and Urahara nearby.

"Ichigo!" Isshin walked towards his son, ignoring the Shinigami's and Arrancar's.

"My poor baby is a baby again! Don't worry daddy will take care of you!" Isshin shouted out dramatically, arms stretched outwards.

"Don't even think about it Goat-Face!" Ichigo shouted back holding his little arms in front of him in a 'X' form.

"I just want to get back to the Soul Society and get everything back to normal." Ichigo whined, feeling his lower lip trembling and eyes watering.

"God Damnit!" He swiped at his eyes quickly and sniffed softly. Tensa tightened his grip on Ichigo while Higo petted Ichigo's orange hair in a soothing manner, normally Shiro and Kyo would be laughing at their King's expense, but they felt his sorrow and annoyance at being stuck as a helpless child again so they kept their traps shut. That and Mugetsu and Chi may kick their asses for laughing at Ichigo when he was in this state.

"You might want to take a step back Isshin." Shinji warned Ichigo's father, making obvious movements as he placed himself between Isshin and Ichigo in a possessive/protective manner. Urahara causally standing at Shinji's side in a lazy posture, but anyone who knew him could see the hidden strength and readiness in his stance. Shiro and Higo edged closer to Tensa and Ichigo while Chi (Nel baring her teeth cutely, still attached to his shoulder), Zangetsu and Mugetsu stood behind Tensa looking intimidating while Kyo and Rei stood right behind Shinji and Urahara. The Espada's and Shinigami's all stopped what they were doing to watch the showdown that was taking place on the other side of the training ground.

"Why should I? Ichigo is my son." Isshin asked confused, glaring at those who stood in his way.

"That is true, but at this point in time it would be best for your health if you left Ichigo in peace." Shinji went on, eyeing the spirits behind him that were all clearly at the ready to whisk Ichigo off to someplace Isshin wasn't, it made him wonder why they didn't seem to like Ichigo's father.

"I am his father if I want to take Ichigo home then I will." Isshin said, his tone of voice serious and dangerous.

"Yeah, well we are part of his soul and we say he's not going anywhere." Shiro spoke up stubbornly drawing Isshin's attention to the spirits surrounding Ichigo, Kyo held his zanpakuto up to eye level with Isshin to show that he could easily enforce Shiro's words.

"It isn't anything personal." Rukia spoke up causing Isshin to look at her. "They are just overly protective of Ichigo and he was just kidnapped so it might be best if you just leave Ichigo alone."

Isshin studied the young Shinigami before he let out a large breath of air, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Alright, alright. I can see I'm not going to win here, just come home in time for dinner okay son?" Isshin looked at Ichigo who was still in Tensa's grip.

"Gotcha Goat-Face." Ichigo nodded his agreement; Isshin ran a hand through his hair once more eyeing Shinji and Urahara who had not moved from their spots between him and his son. He nodded at the two, understanding their message before he walked back to the ladder leading back up to ground level.

"Well that was exciting." Grimmjow quipped before he blocked a surprise blow from Kenpachi and their spar started a new.

"Nothing is ever easy when you're involved Kurosaki." Hitsugaya shook his head before turning back to his conversation with Tier, Byakuya, Renji and Rukia. Starrk and Lilynette hadn't moved at all during the previous minutes so they kept sleeping peacefully.

"So what happens now?" Ichigo asked curiously, fingers playing with the band that was the cause of him turning into a child.

"Kisuke here is going ta come back ta the Soul Society with us, ta figure out how to get ya back to normal and how ta get the zanpakuto spirits back ta their inner worlds." Shinji explained as Kisuke knelt in front of Ichigo.

"Can I see that band Ichi-Chan?" Kisuke asked, giving Ichigo a wide smile. Ichigo just rolled his eyes before he extended his wrist towards his mentor. Urahara muttered under his breath as he poked and prodded at it until he deemed he had enough information. Urahara then backed off, pulled a notebook from his haori and started to scribble down rapidly, clicking his tongue every so often.

"What's going to happen to the Espada's?" Ichigo asked, he had managed to wiggle his way out of Tensa's grip before he wandered over to Byakuya and Toshiro's sides. Hyorinmaru smiled softly at the small Vizard while Senbonzakura watched Ichigo intently from behind his mask.

"The head captain and Tier Harribel will meet and discuss a treaty between the Soul Society and Hudeco Mundeo. If things go well, then the Espada's will return to Hudeco Mundeo to take control of the chaos that we left behind and we will be at peace with the higher level hollows." Toshiro explained, smirking slightly at the fact he was taller than Ichigo was for once.

"I hope it works out, if it doesn't I'll come to Hudeco Mundeo myself to help you guys gain control! Well when I get back to my normal size that is." Ichigo promised Tier, puffing up his chest getting a small chuckle from the third Espada in return.

"I do not think that will necessary Kurosaki." Byakuya cut in making Ichigo frown, he had slightly been looking forward to kicking some ass in Hudeco Mundeo clearly Shiro and Kyo were wearing off on him (from the cackles he heard from the two hollows, they thought so as well).

"We are going to open the Senkaimon now, I've sent a message ahead to let the head captain know of the situation and he is expecting us. Ichigo, Urahara-San, Captain Hirako Captain Kurotsuchi is waiting for you three in the 12th division." Toshiro announced as a hell butterfly appeared on his finger, flying ahead of the child captain as shoji doors opened a few feet in front of him.

Mugetsu picked Ichigo up, shielding him in his arms for the journey to the Soul Society and followed behind the group of Shinigami's in front of him. Grimmjow and Kenpachi brought up the rear alongside the rest of Ichigo's spirits as they shunpo'ed or sondio'ed at top speed towards the exit. Grimmjow (who had the still sleeping Starrk on his back while Tier was holding Lilynette) grumbled about how it was easier to use Garganta's than this Senkaimon thing. Nel reached over from Chi's arms to whack Grimmjow on the head, scolding him, calling him a 'bad kitty' causing Ichigo, Shiro and Kyo to laugh uproariously.

Soul Society

The large, mixed group landed at the gateway to the Seireitei where the other captains and the head captain were waiting for them. Yamato nodded at Shinji, Urahara and Ichigo as the group (plus Ichigo's spirits of course) walked past them heading towards the 12th division (Kurotsuchi had sent Nemu in his place to the meeting). Ichigo turned to look over Mugetsu's shoulder and gave Nel thumbs up to ease the worry look on her face as she clung to Grimmjow's shoulder now that Starrk had finally woken up (and was exchanging nods with albeit confused Shunsui). Her face lit up at the support Ichigo was giving her, she dropped to the ground and shifted into her adult form, surprising the captains slightly. Ichigo snickered at the look on their faces before he turned back around in Mugetsu's arms and played a bit with the long black hair that was partially covering him.

"It should be an easy fix Ichi-Chan, it seems my old 3rd seat has lost his touch." Kisuke assure the toddler in Mugetsu's arms who seemed rather content with twirling the long black locks between his fingers.

"I told ya he was creepy as fuck, but did ya listen ta me. No." Shinji shook his head as the 12 divisions buildings came into sight.

"He's a genius in his own way." Urahara weakly defended his successor, not wanting to defend him too much as he did agree that Kurotsuchi was off-putting to many people.

"Whatever, let's just hope he uses that genius ta fix all this." Shinji waved his arm at the large group behind him, getting some offended sounds and curses thrown his way; he simply flipped them off in his own unique fashion.

"Honey I'm home." Urahara called out cheerfully as the group entered the main building of the 12th division barracks.

"What are you doing here?" Kurotsuchi asked eyeing his old captain distrustfully, his spirit fluttering above its wielder's shoulder.

"We have a little problem to fix." Urahara moved so Kurotsuchi could see the toddler version of Ichigo who still had the band on his wrist.

"Ah yes, I heard about that. Fascinating, would you mind coming with me for some exper-I mean research?" Kurotsuchi rubbed his hands together, correcting himself when he saw the spirits belonging to Ichigo move protectively, hissing out angrily.

"Just fix me." Ichigo growled, not pulling off menacing, as he was too cute at the moment.

"Yes, yes, well you came at the right time. I just found a way to put everyone's zanpakuto spirits back to their proper places, so when I do that I'll remove the band and you should turn back to your normal age." Kurotsuchi waved his hand, looking a bit disappointed at not being able to study Ichigo.

"If he doesn't turn back…" Shinji trailed off while Urahara pulled his hat down a bit while his fingers flexed around Benihime.

"Ah-hahaha…" Kurotsuchi trailed off nervously before he turned back to his work.

"Well it looks like our time in the physical world has come to an end." Zangetsu said somberly.

"We'll always be inside you if you need us though King!" Higo smiled at Ichigo, hugging the little form of their King.

"Our power is your power." Chi ruffled Ichigo's hair with a very rare smile appearing on his lips for a brief moment.

"You two better watch over him." Tensa looked at Shinji and Urahara with his piercing blue eyes.

"We will." Shinji promises, ignoring the scoffs of Ichigo saying he didn't need looking after.

"Thanks for finally letting us kick some ass!" Shiro grinned widely.

"And for letting us freak out all the little Shinigami's!" Kyo added in, grinning just like Shiro. Rei just patted Ichigo on the head, silently like always while Mugetsu snagged a hug from the toddler before he placed Ichigo on the ground and the group backed away from Ichigo.

"And here we go!" Kurotsuchi hit a button and the room was covered in white light, when it faded the zanpakuto spirits were all gone.

"Uh, are you guys in there?" Ichigo asked, closing his eyes.

"King, get back to your normal size, everything in here is kid sized!" Shiro complained sounding a bit strained. Ichigo snickered as he opened his eyes and nodded to tell the others his spirits were back.

"Now take the band off." Urahara instructed, Shinji knelt down next to Ichigo and pinched his cheeks slightly making Ichigo wave his arms in protest at the actions.

"Sorry I had ta do it before he was big again." Shinji gave his classic Cheshire smile before he took the band off of Ichigo's wrist. He turned to the side to shield his eyes as a light covered Ichigo.

When the light disappeared Ichigo was standing there in his normal size and after he quickly checked all his limbs he grinned widely.

"Finally!" His deeper voice rang out, he blinked startled as he had been used to his high-pitched voice and he just grinned larger.

"Welcome back Ichigo." Urahara bowed his head slightly while Kurotsuchi looked pleased with him self before he waltzed away to perform toru-research on some of his subjects.

"…Yah, I liked ya better when ya were tiny." Shinji decided after he studied Ichigo.

"Asshole." Ichigo grumbled.

"I will miss you sleeping on my chest like a little kitty." Urahara teased, laughing as Ichigo's cheeks went red.

"Fuck you too Geta-Boushi." Ichigo huffed, crossing his arms looking away.

"Aww look at him trying to act tough." Shinji cooed before he and Kisuke started to laugh at Ichigo's expense.

"Maybe I should let Kyo or Shiro out to play volleyball with your heads." Ichigo grumbled as the two teased him, he would never admit it but he enjoyed being around those two and if it meant he had to put up with being teased then he would endure it and just get back when he forced them to spar later.

The trio left the 12th division and spotted Nel and Tier talking with the SWA, no swords were in sight and Rangiku slung an arm around Tier while smiling. Starrk and Lilynette were drinking Sake on a rooftop with Ukitake and Kyoraku by the 13th division and Ichigo could sense Grimmjow at the 11th division fighting with the members there. Ichigo stretched his long arms above his head happily, it seemed that they had made peace with the remaining Espada's and all zanpakuto spirits were back in their wielder's inner worlds.

"Are you going to stick around Ichigo?" Shinji asked.

"Nah I gotta get home for dinner, Goat-Face, Karin and Yuzu will be waiting." Ichigo waved a hand dismissively.

"King, try opening a Garganta." Kyo's voice rang out and Ichigo cocked his head to the side before he nodded.

"Hold on I am going to try something." Ichigo held his hand up and probed the surrounding area with his reiatsu, he grinned and threw his arm to the side as a Garganta formed in front of the trio.

"Huh, awesome." Ichigo grinned before he grabbed Kisuke by the back of his haori and waved at Shinji who just blinked in shock before the two disappeared inside the Garganta before it sealed itself.

"That kid." Shinji shook his head fondly before he headed towards his division, whistling a cheerful tune planning to send some certain pictures of a orange haired Vizard around to the other Vizard's when he got there.
