Hey guys, I know it's been a long while since I last updated this story. I have no excuses except for the typical job, life, and so on. Also if you guys didn't read my little side project called 'The saving of Kangoku' I suggest you do. It doesn't have any lemons or forced anything, I promise. It's just a little series about Hentai girls being saved by our boy Ichigo, and there will be more.

Also if you guys didn't read that one-shot, I revealed that I GRADUATED in May from U.T.I! YES! So yeah...I hope everyone is doing well and pursuing their dream job. Work hard and never give up.

No Disclaimers needed.

I Own Nothing.

A Week After Ichigo Got His Powers Back.

Ichigo's using flash-step to get to the meeting point as fast as he can, the feeling of dread is filling his heart as the great walls and buildings of Los Noches fall and crumble. Looking at Tier as she can barely contain the uneasiness in her eyes, he pushes himself ever harder. Finally arriving at the meeting point with Apacci, Sung Sun, Mila Rose, Grimmjow, Nel in kid form, Dondochakka, and Pesche all waiting for him, he stops with force, hurriedly gives Tier to Mila and immediately opens a Garganta with his left hand

The expression on his face is making them stay silent as it screams of pure fear. "Go! Whatever's coming I'll hold it off!" With no movement being done, he looks back. "NOW!"

(GASP)

As the others start running into the Garganta Ichigo is forced to take a deep sharp intake of air as a pressure falls upon him. A pressure so powerful he can barely hold his sword. "Ichigo Kurosaki...It is an honor to finally meet you."

Six Months After Ichigos Death. Kurosaki Household.

Yuzu nearly woke with a scream as she held her head and was almost hyperventilating, Karin was already awake and hugging her as Yuzu started to cry on Karins shoulder. The time is three in the morning, and this has become routine since it first happened five months ago and has gotten worse the closer time comes to Tia's due date.

"H-He wouldn't...HE WOULDN'T!" Yuzu suddenly screamed out and this caused her father to run into the room. He got behind Yuzu and put his hands on her shoulders. Yuzu suddenly stopped and looked to him with fear ridden eyes. "Ichigo wouldn't do it. HE WOULD NEVER-!" Isshin tried to calm her hysteria by holding her to him for dear life he rocked her back and forth trying anything to calm her since this is the worst it's gotten.

"Shh~, It's okay. I'm here." Even Isshin couldn't stop the lump in his throat from coming out in his voice. He looked to the lit hall and saw Tia standing their with her eyes conveying worry as her mask fragment hides the rest of her face. She walks in with care as her belly is large with the healthy twins. She sits on the bed next to Karin and the weight makes Yuzu look in her direction, her eyes go from fear to sadness and the tears start to stream as she hugs Tia with care. This woman that has been a mother and older sister figure to her and Karin since Ichigo introduced them to her.

Tia guides Yuzu back a little and uses her right hand to lift Yuzu's chin. "Hey...shh, what's wrong?"

Yuzu shakes a little as the images keep replaying in her mind. "I-Ichigo, I saw Ichigo...he was on sokyoku hill, but...but there was something wrong with him. He was covered in blood and just standing there...(FLASH).

DC Universe.

It's been five months since Ichigo was given a choice, and he chose to continue his normal life. Thing was, that he didn't have anything to prove he lived in this world or country. In comes Batman again and basically gets him finished with high school after taking several tests in one month, these test results also show how high his IQ is and is able to get Ichigo a good amount of opportunities of very prestigious colleges/universities and Batman is even able to get his ID made and it's legal. Ichigo was then presented his best choice for his future profession of being a doctor, Harvard University. Ichigo then said farewell to the team and thanked them profusely for everything they had done for him and is now living in Cambridge Massachusetts working two part time jobs. This all happened within a span of four and a half months.

Ichigo is currently sitting in an apartment reading a rather large book wanting to get some studying done before he goes to bed. He has to admit, reading in a second language is sometimes annoying, and the funny thing is, that he has a week until he starts classes. Well it really isn't that funny since he tries to keep busy all the time so he doesn't have time to let his mind wander, and he doesn't want to fall asleep.

Never the less, he's been awake for three days straight now and has gotten done with almost a quarter of this behemoth, but the world finally see's fit to cause his eyes to droop and almost cause him to fall asleep right there, luckily it's Sunday tomorrow and his late night shift job is his only job for Sunday, so he can sleep from nine at night to four in the afternoon and be completely rejuvenated. He then gets up and turns all the lights off and looks at his bed for a moment breathing in a deep amount of air, then releasing it in an exaggerated way. "Just one night with no dreams...please." He states out loud.

Two years later

Ichigo is walking down the street during the middle of the day, his classes just ended for the day and he was reading while walking. Things have gotten more calm and his dreams have started to ease up, he's been doing well in terms of day to day life and trying to adjust. His emotional and mental state are still questionable and he's started seeing a therapist.

He's been recording his daily thoughts per the therapists request and seeing her for two months now. In all honesty, it's been difficult to stay sane and he's been questioning if he's actually alive or in a weird form of hell. Besides a check up or two, he hasn't really been in contact with the Justice League, except for the news and seeing them do amazing things and helping people.

Ichigo stopped at the crosswalk and waited with other people for the light to turn. A kid suddenly ran out and wasn't paying attention do to his game of tag with his friends, screeching of tires was heard and the kid, no older than eight, stopped suddenly and froze. A skidding sound was heard and the car was brought to a safe stop quicker than normal. The kid was awestruck as the car was inches from him, but what he and everyone else saw was more amazing, Ichigo still reading his book was standing with one foot on the ground while his right foot was on the hood of the car.

"Hey kid." Ichigo looked from his book and to the kid. "Look before you cross, or else you won't be going back home to your loved ones. Alright?" Ichigo stated then asked in a sensitive tone and the kid nodded with teary eyes and ran to his friends. Ichigo talked with the driver and offered to lie for him and his insurance as a witness to a hit and run.

Thirty minutes passed and Ichigo was on his way again, back to his simple one floor house. A woman bumped into him and she dropped her purse, Ichigo immediately apologized and she was also apologizing, Ichigo looked at her and the first thing he saw was a pregnant belly and then long blonde hair. His eyes slightly widened as he handed the dropped purse back to her, she smiled and shook his hand, he did the same and wished her a good day.

Everyday, he saw kids and people that all reminded him of loved ones, especially his kid and Tier. He's always thinking about his child's unknown birth date and how he or she looks, he wants to know how Tier is holding on. He also wonders if his family and friends even know if he's alive or not. Did they have a burial? Is he next to his mom?

These questions are always running through his head.
