Hello everyone, this will be my first story I have written for this site. I have always been weak in my writing. What I hope for me writing this piece of work is to improve my writing and hopefully give you readers a story you may enjoy. I hope I can learn with all of you. Now that introductions are over, here is some context for my story:

1. Kazui Kurosaki will be 15 years old and he will be more joyful, outgoing, and generally have a more positive attitude than Ichigo, but he will show a stoic serious attitude when he sees people he cares about being injured.

2. Ichigo will have all of his powers such as his Shinigami, Quincy, and Hollow abilities and he will have some spotlight in the story. Kazui will still be the main protagonist in the story though.

3. Orihime will also have an active role in the story and she will not be as weak as she was portrayed in the manga. In my story, she has got some training from the Visord Hachi throughout the timeskip.

4. There will be cameos from Ichigo's friends such as Uruyu and Chad.

5. There will be some interesting events in this story and I will elaborate on that in the future chapters.

If you have any questions, I will try with the best of my ability to answer them in this section before each chapter.

Prologue

Karakura Town, the hollow destination of the world of the living, has been plague by these creatures since the appearance of the substitute Shinigami, Ichigo Kurosaki, and now the blade has been passed down to a new Shinigami… his son, Kazui Kurosaki.

"Stay still you little brat!" The hollow screamed to the Shinigami trying desperately to capture and devour his soul.

The young teen using shunpo to evade and counterattack all the hollow's advances didn't like to be called a brat, "Hey! I'm already 15 and besides it's not my fault your too slow." Ending the conversation on a playful tone, Kazui stopped his shunpo to be on eye level to the hollow.

What came next from the hollow surprised the teenager; it opened its mouth gathering reiatsu in a form of an orb and fired it at the teen.

Kazui deciding to test the projectile's strength then proceed to block it with his zanpakuto. So this is a Cero, I expected it to be a lot stronger though.

After successfully defending against the Cero, he shunpo right next to the hollow's head to strike its mask purifying the beast in seconds.

"It's always thrilling fighting hollows!" Kazui exclaimed as he raised his arms up in a stretch. Kazui Kurosaki has one defining characteristic that contrasts with his father; while his father fought to protect his love ones and would never actively seek battles against opponents, his son is the complete opposite as he enjoys seeking out adversaries for the excitement and thrill of the battle, albeit not as blood thirsty as a certain captain of the Gotei 13.

Back at the Kurosaki household is Ichigo and Orihime; Ichigo assisting his father with the patients, and Orihime cooking dinner for the coming hour.

After finish assisting the last of the patients, Ichigo hears a ring at the door. Expecting another patient, he scurries to the door to see the visitor only to find two he never expected to meet in the world of the living.

One visitor wore a pink kimono around his captain's shihakusho as well as an eyepatch on one of his eyes, the other was his vice-captain near his right always having an aura of professionalism her captain didn't; the visitors was the Captain Commander of the Gotei 13, Shunsui Kyoraku and Vice-Captain Nanao Ise.

Ichigo calls on Orihime to meet him in the living room to discuss the news with the captain as Kazui jumped in the living room through an open window. Shunsui noticing the presence of the newly arrived Kazui sees the young Shinigami has shown signs of having a high growth rate like his father. The Captain-Commander relays the information of Mayuri's analysis about the presence of hollows in the world of the living. It seems the majority of hollows are relocating from Karakura Town to the European country of France. The bulk of those hollow sightings are concentrated in their capital, Paris.

Shunsui wants the Ichigo, Orihime, and Kazui to investigate and purify the hollows in the city.

"You can think of the trip as a long-term vacation!", Shunsui exclaims with his joyous smile while holding out a fan.

The response from Ichigo should have been typical. Grabbing hold of Shunsui's fan, he uses it to smack him on the top of the head. "LIKE HELL WE'RE GOING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY TO FIGHT HOLLOWS!" Ichigo fires back at Shunsui's proposal.

It was time for his wife to have a say on the matter. "But Ichigo, imagine living in Paris, it's a beautiful city and would make a great vacation experience." Orihime trying to coax Ichigo with a puppy dog eyes.

Kazui being a teenager of adventure and risks wouldn't want a chance like this to slip from his grasps either. "Besides Dad, I already have experience in taking down hollows these are no different and I already mastered my Shikai."

Ichigo weighing on the points of his family as well as his own curiosity of seeing Paris for himself decided to take on Shunsui's offer.

As Orihime and Kazui leave the living room to finish preparing the food, Ichigo grabs hold of Shunsui's shoulder before he leaves, "I feel like you aren't telling me the complete story here."

Shunsui just smiles at Ichigo's accusations, "Even Soul Society has legends and folklores of other countries we can't quite confirm however they won't pose a problem against you or your family."

They spend the next few days packing their belongings to their new home in Paris, France. They will be living in downtown Paris in a building designed as a candy shop. I wonder who was the one who decided on these living arrangements. Ichigo's family will be heading to Paris by flight while their belongings will be transferred through a Senkaimon to their new residence.

Their last destination before the airport was Urahara's candy shop to see the man for a couple important inventions.

Urahara opened the front door with a tired look on his face. "Why hello there Mr. and Mrs. Kurosaki, I have your merchandise in the back why not come in." The Kurosaki family follows the candy shop owner to the back to catch a glimpse of their merchandise; one looked just like three strips of chewing gum while another looked like a Gikongan.

"Chew and swallow this gum, it will allow you to recognize, listen, and speak in French and finally this little candy will allow you to transform at will between your human and Shinigami form without leaving your physical body around Ichigo." Urahara designed these two with the assistance with Squad 12 to assist Ichigo and his family with the mission.

The Kurosaki family now having all the equipment they need began making their way to the airport. Ichigo and Orihime were both indifferent about the decision to take a flight to Paris instead of just taking the Senkaimon however Kazui was a semi-impatient teenager who would rather take the shortest route than wait in a boring terminal waiting for their plane to start boarding.

Kazui looking through the terminal for anything to relieve the boredom and irritation found a magazine pertaining to Paris. The front cover showcased two individuals, one was a guy with a black cat jumpsuit with added cat ears while the other was a girl wearing a similar jumpsuit but with a ladybug color scheme.

Paying special attention to the girl, he starts to sport a curious smile. "So this city has their own heroes... Chat Noir and Ladybug… this may actually be an interesting vacation indeed."
