I'm back!

Anyway, on with the story!

"Ichigo, I know I'm going into your personal history, but please, you need to tell me." Glynda says softly, as she releases Ichigo of his hug and looks him in the eyes.

"OK! HOLD ON! Why do you think I use to be a woman?! And secondly, WHY THE HELL DOES THAT MATTER!? I AM A GUY, OK! A GUY!" Ichigo practically yells as he stands up from his chair and pointing to himself.

"Ichigo, you don't have to lie to me. I am your professor. I won't tell anyone." Glynda says with uncharacteristic softness in her voice despite being practically yelled at.

"And I ask again, why does that even matter?!" Ichigo says less loudly.

"I-I know you must think that I am invading your personal space by asking this but, this is very important."

"For the love of- I AM NOT A WOMAN! AND I NEVER WAS!"

'Seriously, how the hell do I make people think that I am a woman?! Can't I just get a regular day without crazy shit happening!'

Ichigo sees Glynda merely look at him before asking another question.

"Ichigo, do you have powers not normal to regular hunters?" Glynda asks as she watches him carefully. Very carefully.

He froze. How did she know?! Did he leave evidence?! No. She must be speculating. She can't have figured it out. made sure to not leave evidence. Calm down. Stop shaking. She can't know. It's impossible.

"W-What are you talking about? Of course I don't. Well, besides the Dust-"

"Stop lying. I could tell by your hesitant response and your shaking. It was subtle but I could tell."

'Well, shit. So much for that. Great Ichigo, she caught you. And she probably just made up that woman shit just to get you riled up and make a mistake.'

"What? I told yo-"

"Stop lying. I already caught you."

"I have-"

Glynda merely narrows her eyes dangerously as she holds her trip tighter.

'Shit! I fucked up big time. I couldn't just stop fucking shaking couldn't I? Ugh. I didn't think I would get caught this fucking early either. Good thing I came up with the backup plan but still. If I hadn't, I would have been screwed!'

Ichigo sighs and turns around to observe Vale and replies, "You wouldn't believe me." Ichigo says as he runs his hand over his hair before putting his hands in his overcoat.

Glynda immediately softens her eyes and walks over to Ichigo and puts a hand on his shoulder and says,"Ichigo, I-I'm sorry. But, I need to know."

Ichigo stays quiet but after a few seconds says,"I'm guessing Ozpin also wants to know."

"Yes." The Headmistress replies and she continues to comfort Ichigo.

"Listen, can we talk about it after we complete the mission? It's just.." Ichigo didn't have to finish.

"Of course." She relies, understandingly.

They stood there in silence, just enjoying each other's presence, until Glynda broke the silence.

"We must get going. We do have mission to complete." Glynda says as she finally remover her hand from his shoulder.

Ozpin was currently in his office looking out his window and looking at the dusk sky, thinking. He had made an assumption. A theory. No matter how inconceivable it is, it is necessary to make sure if it was real, or not. If the theory is true then, Ichigo is a Maiden. And he received that Maiden power from his deceased mother. It would make sense. When Ichigo was fleeing from his hometown with his mother protecting him, of course her final thoughts would have been her son. No, her daughter, who had a sex change later in his life. It could happen. We already have evidence. For instance, his 'Dust' attacks cause too much damage. Like Ms. Schnee stated, a single person cannot carry a large amount of Dust on them. But to create an explosion of that calibre, you need a large amount of Dust that a single person cannot carry. In fact, I don't see any Dust cartridge in his weapon to put Dust in. So is it Dust, or something else? Maybe a new way to increase Dust potency like Ms. Schnee stated? Maybe his Aura perhaps? Unlikely. But, a Maiden could possible be the exception. Even if he does have the Maidens power, which one did he receive it from? It couldn't have been Amber since we already know that she was attacked by another person, not by Ichigo.

But there is also evidence that disproves this theory. First, Ichigo's eyes don't glow. Usually when a maiden uses her powers, her eyes glow. And that big of an attack usually warrants an eye glow. Furthermore, Ichigo hasn't used any other Maiden powers than that explosion during the Initiation. He could be hiding them. Hmmm. And of course, he is the son of Qrow. Or daughter? What a strange situation we are in. How unlucky of Qrow. And of course, the General. I need more coffe- I mean chocolate. Right, chocolate. But, I do wonder when they will-

Ozpin then hears his elevators doors open and hears two seats of footsteps. Right on time.

"Headmaster," He hears Glynda say.

"Glynda. And Ichigo." Ozpin says as her turns around to face them.

"So, how did the mission go?" Ozpin asks as he sits in his chair. He notes that Glynda and Ichigo look at each other for a second before they break eye-contact.

"It is completed. Nothing too drastic happened while on the mission." Glynda says as she stands beside Ozpin and looks at Ichigo.

"But I do think Ichigo has something to say." Glynda continues.

"I see. So you asked him?" Ozpin questions.

"Yes."

"I see. Ichigo, I am deeply sorry if we have offended you in anyway but it is extremely important to know." Ozpin says sincerely as he intertwines his hands just below his face.

"Yeah, I know. You want to know how I did that explosion?" Ichigo says as he sit on a chair on the other side of Ozpin's desk.

"Yes, it would be nice to know."

"Well, it's complicated."

"Please, take the time you need."

'Here goes nothing. It will either work or not. Depending if Glynda remembers. Even if she doesn't remember it could still work but it would help if she does remember.'

"Remember when I when you first met me in the police station and I told you about myself?" Ichigo says, recounting the event.

Ozpin and Glynda merely nod their heads.

"I told you the basic stuff. But you want to know about my supposed 'Dust' attack, right?" Ichigo says while looking at them. They both nod their heads again.

"Well, that means I have to tell you about my mentor."

Glynda and Ozpin say nothing but are pay close attention.

"So, before I was born, a stranger arrived in our town. Nobody knew him. But the village welcomed him with open arms. He helped with villagers and became good friends with just about everyone. He called himself, Ichigo. He was fairly tall and wielded a fairly large sword and appeared to be his fifties. He said that he was a retired Huntsman due to a injury he sustained. But the most noticeable detail was that he had orange hair."

Glynda raises an eyebrow. Suddenly, Glynda saw a very blurry image in her head. She saw someone approaching her in her blurry memory. She quickly shook her head to rid the memory to pay attention to more important things and was about to ask Ichigo something but Ichigo put a finger on his lips and said,"In due time."

Ichigo took his finger off his lips and continued. "In time, Ichigo, the other one, became close friends with my mother. They first encountered each other when a small group of Grimm invaded our town and was attacking the people. This was shortly after other Ichigo arrived. My mother said to me that she was suppose to die that day, until other Ichigo came in and saved her from her death. My mother was still pregnant at the time with me. And after a few months, I was born with the help of other Ichigo since he had medical experience alongside other people helping him. This is where everything starts." Ichigo says as he prepares himself.

The Headmaster and Glynda just wait patiently for him to begin.

"Since my mother and the other Ichigo were such good friends, she decided to name me after him. He was very against that but she urged him to let her name her son after him. He finally relented and let her name her son, Ichigo. The main reason she wanted to name me after him was because he saved her, and because the meaning behind, "Ichigo". It meant "One protecter". She really liked that name. Over time, I viewed other Ichigo as my Uncle. A couple years passed and everything was looking good. But there was a couple of strange things about my uncle." Ichigo said with his eyes closed.

Ozpin became quickly intrigued and asked with curiosity lacing his voice, "Like?"

"For one, he never told me about himself. Even to my mother, he never told her much about himself. Second, he would say very clearly, "Don't touch my weapon." Like it was dangerous. Well, it was obviously dangerous to try to wield it. For a kid at the time, I could have hurt myself. But, now, I think it could be something else." Ichigo said with a neutral face.

"And did you?" Ozpin asked with his hands crossed just beneath his chin.

"Well, this is his sword. So yeah." Ichigo said as he points to Zangetsu.

Ozpin merely looks over at Zangetsu before asking,"And why do you think it could be something else?"

"Let me finish first. It will make sense in the end." Ichigo said before taking a breath and continuing.

"Back to the story. Other Ichigo and I were pretty close. Everything was looking good. But, a couple of days before the invasion, Other Ichigo asked me a question. 'Do you want to protect the people close to you?' I answered, 'Of course! I would protect all of my friends! And I would want to protect my Mom the most!' He then asked me The question. 'Do you want to be a Huntsman?' Of course I answered yes. I had heard about the stories. Heroes, defending us from the evil Grimm. So, he started teaching me. He unlocked my Aura and taught me everything he could. But, it wasn't until after I escaped my town and ventured out in the would, that I noticed something strange." Ichigo said as he looked at Ozpin.

"And what would that be?" He asked curiously.

"The way he unlocked my Aura. He did the standard thing. Putting a hand on my chest and saying the words. But, he told me to carry his sword while he unlocked my Aura. That wasn't the weird part. When I was carrying it, I was putting all of my strength on carrying it. Suffice to say, it was pathetic. I was barely holding it at all. But, when he finished unlocking my Aura and my body glowed, my sword just weighed nothing. Like all of its weight disappeared. I asked him how this happened but he didn't say. After saying that, he said that he could no longer use his sword. He said that only I could use the sword now. Of course I asked him how and why he couldn't use his sword anyone. He said he would explain later during our training. But, the training didn't last, as you know. That was when the Grimm attacked. I am sure you know what happened after that." Ichigo says as he finished with a sigh.

Ozpin and Glynda stood their, digesting this new information. After a couple of moments, Ozpin was about to speak but Ichigo cut him off.

"But, before I continue, my uncle would tell me stories of the people he rescued. I always thought they were cool as a kid. But after the invasion, I forgot about them. It wasn't until I went you in the Police Station that I remembered them."

"And why would you remember them now?" Ozpin asked, still having fingers interlocked just below his chin.

"Because of her." Glynda hears Ichigo say bluntly while pointing to Glynda.

'Huh?'

"Me?" Glynda says incredulously while pointing to herself.

"Yes. Glynda, remember when you were a child? You met someone in a forest." Ichigo said, trying to get her to remember.

"What? What are you-"

"Remember? You met my Uncle in a forest."

"What are you..." Suddenly, Glynda starts sees a memory of when she was little. She remembers herself covering her eyes

"He had orange hair."

Young Glynda peeks through them to see a orange haired man.

"He had my sword."

Glynda sees he has a humorous sword. Ichigo's sword. She sees this orange haired individual approach her.

'No... I-I met him?'

"Oh my God." Glynda says with a look of realization as she remembers seeing a man that looked like that when she was little.

Ichigo merely smiles but is exhilarated on the inside for making her successfully remember. Score one for Ichigo! Know on with the rest of the plan.

"Glynda?" Ozpin says after a couple of moments as he looks over at her for clarification that she met this individual.

It took Glynda a couple of seconds before she even moved. Finally, after her brain registered what Ozpin had said, she quickly gained her wits and responded, "Yes, I have met this individual." With slight shock still evident in her voice. She's surprised she remembered at all.

Ozpin merely stares at Glynda before looking over at Ichigo and saying, "Very interesting."

"Yeah, that why I recall my uncle's stories. Glynda looked like the girl he saved. Not to mention she also had the same name he mentioned in his story. I thought that in case you didn't believe me, I would say that Glynda did meet him before. But enough of that, let's get back to the story."

"Yes, please continue." Ozpin says calmly.

"Anyway. So when my Uncle said he would explain why Zangetsu suddenly weighed nothing, he obviously couldn't since the invasion happened. During the passing years, that's when I discovered the 'Dust' attack. It isn't Dust though." Ichigo said as he unsheathes Zangetsu and looks at it.

"It's actually the sword. Well, it's the sword and me." Ichigo continues saying.

Ozpin and Glynda are initially confused by this.

"What do you mean the sword does it?" Glynda asked with doubt.

He could understand. He wouldn't believe it either if he heard it. But he does have proof.

"Zangetsu is able to absorb my Aura and Amplify it to a such degree that it can cause those explosions when it absorbs my Aura."

...

...

...

"Mr. Kurosaki, while I do appreciate a good joke here and there, this is not the time." Glynda said dangerously as she narrows her eyes.

"Don't believe me? Here." Ichigo says as he stands. Ichigo walks over to Glynda and hands her Zangetsu.

"Do you see any Dust slots for my weapon?" Ichigo asked her, already knowing what the answer was.

Glynda merely looked annoyed before looking over Zangetsu and checking it. She quickly deduced that it, in fact, didn't have any Dust slot in it.

"No, I don't. Your point?" Glynda asked with increasing annoyance.

"Can you channel your Aura into my weapon?" He asked.

Glynda merely looked over at the Headmaster and saw him nod. She released a sigh. She channeled her Aura into Zangetsu. After a couple of seconds.

Nothing happened.

"Are you done yet? Tell us the real truth." Glynda says, with a tone softer while handing Zangetsu over to Ichigo. Of course, she did this is because she thinks Ichigo was once a woman and he doesn't want to admit it.

"Now watch this." Ichigo says as he grabs Zangetsu and takes a few steps back.

Ozpin watches with interest while Glynda looks to be unimpressed.

Ichigo calmly channels his Spiritual Energy into Zangetsu.

Glynda and Ozpin watch with surprise and new found interest. They watch as Zangetsu appears to be absorbing Ichigo's 'Aura' into itself while it also appears to be changing it's color as well, having a tint of blue. Ichigo calmly tries to stop channeling his 'Aura' and succeeds.

Glynda was caught off guard. She had thought that Ichigo was a maiden, but it appears that he was telling the truth. How could this sword be able to absorb Aura? And why didn't it work with her? If that could be implemented into all weapons then...

Ozpin watched silently, taking in this new information, before he cracked a small smile.

"Ichigo, I'm guessing there is still more to the sword?" Ozpin asks as he gets up from his chair and walks over to Ichigo.

"Yeah, actually." Ichigo said, confusion entering his voice since he didn't know why Ozpin asked that.

Ozpin continued smiling as he reached Ichigo and said, "Ichigo, since it is getting dark out, we shall continue this conversation tomorrow. But before we, I would like to make you a proposition."

Ichigo burrowed his eyebrows and says, "A proposition?"

Glynda was seemed confused as well. Ozpin had never mentioned a proposition. What could he be... talking... No...

"Ozpin! Don't tell me you are going to do what I think you're going to do! He's only a student, and 15!" Glynda yelled profusely.

"And a excellent fighter. But, I have faith he is capable. I wouldn't suggest it otherwise." Ozpin says while still staring at Ichigo.

"Um, what are you guys talking about?" Ichigo asked, honestly confused.

"I would like to offer you a position of a teacher."

Glynda slaps her hand against her forehead.

Just then, the elevators opened up and out walked a dusty, old qrow.

That cliffhanger though. As always tell me what you think and I'll see you in the next chapter, whenever that comes out.
