Magic and Death

Chapter 1: The mission

Captain Ichigo Kurosaki of squad 5 looked on at the training field where his men worked hard training their zanjutsu stances, all unseated and seated officers for the exception of his fuku-taicho Momo Hinamori stood by his side watching. It had been 2 years since Ichigo had transcended that of the boundaries between shingami and hollows and had cut down the only the other transcendent being in the world, Sosuke Aizen. how lonely he must feel, is there truly nothing anyone can do for him? Momo asked herself, he looked down at is short fuku-taicho and smiled "Momo, is there something on your mind?, is something wrong?" he asked gently so that no one could hear what he said except for her and not wanting to show her up in front of the squad.

"No, taicho nothings wrong I was just thinking that its about time that Shiro-chan would be chewing out Matsumoto-chan for not doing her paperwork and getting drunk with Abari-kun again." she laughed quietly as it was a private joke between the taicho and their fuku-taicho as 3 (Gin included) of some of their most highest ranked and experienced officers were continually getting drunk and barely completing their paperwork.

"Ha, I bet you my wage that pineapple's getting senbonzakura'd by Byakuya again" Ichigo scoffed, mean while a certain red-headed fuku-taicho was getting his taicho's shikai released on him for being drunk and disorderly added onto the fact he hadn't done his paperwork.

"I'd double that if I were you king eh" Shiro spoke out, Ichigo's inner hollow manifesting himself out Ichigo's mind.

"Shiro would you let down on your reiatsu before you manage to knock out my squad and get Kenpachi running to the barracks like a dog to a bone, looking for you so you two can have a fight to the death" Ichigo let out an tired sigh as he spoke whilst the rest of his squad for the exception of Momo lay on the ground gasping for breath.

"Che, fine if you say so king, but its fun fightin with Kenpachi you know that right" replied the carbon copy of Ichigo except for his black captains' haori and white shinigami shihakusho he wore and not to mention his black sclera and golden irises cut a pretty intimidating figure even to the other taicho's except Zaraki who just wanted a good fight and Kurotsuchi who still sees Shiro and Ichigo perfect specimens for test subjects and would love nothing better than to have the both of them in his barracks awaiting dissection.

"Shiro" he called the white doppelganger

"yeah, king what?" Shiro replied

"Shut up" Ichigo deadpanned leaving a smouldering Shiro thinking grumbling about the different he was going to get the annoying strawberry back.

He does this all the time, is there nothing you can do to stop him, Zangetsu-Ossan? he asked his Zanpakuto I could always tie him down and throw him of one the buildings although he'd get back up in no time and start fighting with me and ranting at you. the calm and mostly silent Zanpakuto spirit replied in his thoughtful manner that he used nearly all the time when he spoke to Ichigo, Shiro or to whoever when he materialised himself in the Seireitei

"Kurosaki taicho, Shiro-san please stop fighting you know its not good to keep getting worked up at each other all the time." Momo pleaded before more sparks flew between Ichigo and Shiro and they got into a full blown fight.

"Che, I'm going back inside for nap, so don't wake me for about 2-3 hours alright strawberry" the hollow spoke to his orange haired counterpart teasingly hoping to get a reaction out him.

Ichigo's eye twitched at hearing one of the two meanings of his name with the other being 'The one who protects' this name the one which he obviously preferred.

Ever since the winter war Ichigo and Shiro's relationship changed of that aspect of the king and the horse to more like the both of them being brothers who didn't know when to stop arguing to Momo Shiro seemed like another Renji with the way Ichigo and Shiro acted towards each other.

"Fine, Momo I'm gonna go train the squad c'mon" Ichigo looked at his fuku-taicho Shiro broke into pieces of reishi and retreating back into Ichigo's inner world.

The two of them walked down to the training field where the seated squad members trained their own individual units that made up squad 5.

As soon as they entered the field all the unseated officers lined up with the seated officers making their own line just in front waiting completely silently for their taicho to speak.

" At ease men, I think that today I'll lead the training for all of you drawing his sword which hung by his side now and not on his back, after Ichigo had taken lessons with Urahara to finally learn to control his constant leaking of a huge amount reiatsu he managed to bring the size of his Zanpakuto down to a manageable size.

Standing by his side Momo listened as he started the training session for everyone.

**Flashback- 3 days after Aizen's death**

Ichigo walked to Urahara's shop back in Karakura after it had been brought back from the Soul Society, Ichigo entered the building to find the ex-taicho and founder of squad 12 drinking tea with his father Isshin Kurosaki and Yoruichi Shihoin the ex- taicho of squad 2 and former clan head of the Shihoin clan, one of the 4 great noble clans that resided in the Soul Society. All of them had serious expressions plastered on their faces and in the middle of a serious conversation.

"Hey hat and clogs I need you help with something" Ichigo asked Urahara surprising everyone at the table because that they hadn't even noticed he was there.

"Oh, it's you Ichigo, couldn't even feel your usual amount of reiatsu leaking around everywhere, quite surprising really, is this an effect of your status of a transcendent being that it is so high we cant even feel it anymore?" The scientist turned shopkeeper asked his 'star' (cough only pupil).

"Yeah, even Aizen said he couldn't feel my spiritual pressure anymore" Ichigo replied a little quietly.

Everyone had noticed that after killing Aizen, Ichigo had asked to be left alone and had seemed a little withdrawn from everyone, maybe because he had taken a life and had never done so before or was it the fact that he had killed the only other person who was like him and in his so to speak league. Urahara pondered to himself before snapping himself out of his thoughts.

"sure Ichigo what can I do for you" Urahara asked snapping his favourite paper fan out.

"could you help me with my spiritual pressure because I can't even give Karin and Yuzu a hug without turning them to dust." the young transcendent asked with a worried look on his face obvious from the fact of how much of a danger he was to his family.

"Of course but because your power levels are so high and are more evolved we cant really seal your reiatsu until you consciously bring it down our level but we still wont be able to seal it until you have better control of your reiatsu which quite frankly right now is utterly terrible and you can seal your Zanpakuto which is the first step to limiting your reiatsu" Kisuke explained easily to Ichigo.

"Hold on a minute, why should I seal Zangetsu he's been with me every step of the way him and Shiro all three of us fighting alongside each other were partners." Ichigo told the three elders in the room.

Thank you Ichigo for your support but it is for the better and although me and Shiro will still be able to communicate with you our power will be greatly limited Zangetsu's deep voice rumbled from within Ichigo's inner world.

Yeah, think about king, being able to give your Karin an Yuzu a hug as an incentive

"Ichigo you must understand it's customary to do so, as walking around with a Zanpakuto released tends to be viewed as a threat and a challenge and with your strength quite intimidating." Urahara countered easily

"Alright then how do I seal Zangetsu?" Ichigo asked

"Simply cut off the flow of your reiatsu into Zangetsu," Yoruichi ordered. "Try to keep as much of it as you can inside you."

Ichigo closed his eyes and focused on his reiatsu. It was so large and strong that it surrounded and enveloped the whole room although no one could feel it, he simply just pulled all the reiatsu around him including the flow coming from Zangetsu back inside him and compressed it.

His eyes flying open, Ichigo pulled what he knew had to be Zangetsu's sealed form out of its sheath, which had materialized onto his back. The blade was a standard-sized katana with a red handle and a rectangular bronze hand guard. On the end of the handle were two light blue tassels. The hand guard had some decoration, though Ichigo had to look a lot closer to tell – it had stylized flame patterns on the long edges, and small curved slits on the short ones, the blade was sheathed within an obsidian black sheath with red kanji of the name Zangetsu inscribed into the side of it. "This is a properly-sized version of the sword that I was using, before I learned Shikai!"

Urahara nodded. "I see you're finally able to control your reiatsu enough to make your sword a normal size. I'm impressed; I thought you might generate that enormous version again."

"At least its not that monstrosity, ugh that thing which I refuse to call a sword was way to big" Yoruichi admitted.

"Hold on a minute!" Isshin drew his own Zanpakuto and held it out to compare against his son's. "Look at them! My Engetsu is almost exactly the same as your Zangetsu, Ichigo!"

Ichigo blinked, before his jaw dropped. His father was right they both had the same red handle, the same blue tassels, even similar lengths, the only thing different that Ichigo could see was the hilt, where Engetsu had an elongated hexagonal hilt, while the Zangetsu had a rectangular one.

"Now for the seals, imagine a place on your body and condense your reiatsu into it and when you're done call out Gentei Reiin."

A crescent moon, it felt right to Ichigo to place that symbol on, so he decided to go with it. He mentally pushed the reiatsu into the symbol, and imagined placing it over his heart. Quietly, he whispered, "Gentei Reiin."

"now for the second and these two in total will seal about a third and a half of your reiatsu." Urahara instructed.

With a sigh, Ichigo performed the Gentei Reiin again, this time making a black crescent moon facing the opposite direction, so the tips almost touched and the combined symbols made a circle, the two seals together honoured both sides of Ichigo's power which was embodied within Zangetsu and Shiro.

**End of flashback**

"Alright men, the most basic element to combat is not the stance or the technique although they are important but it is the resolve ultimately because if your resolve is weak then so is your blade, if you go into battle fearing for your life then in turn your blade will only show and resonate fear, nothing is born of fear victory cannot be attained by fear. When you go into battle harden your resolve. if you evade, it should be he's not going to kill me, if you're protecting someone its I wont let them be killed and if you're attacking its kill!"

The men seem moved by that speech from Kurosaki-taicho, it never ceases to amaze me how much this boy manages to inspire courage and confidence in others. Momo thought to herself

"Right I want you all to separate yourselves into groups of 2 and focus on strengthening your resolve which will then eventually strengthen your blade, you clear guys" he called to his men

"HAI TAICHO!" the squad roared in unison focused with determination and unwavering loyalty to their taicho.

While the squad members split up into groups and started to strengthen their resolve, two jigokucho flew into Ichigo's and Momo's fingers conveying their messages

Kurosaki taicho and Hinamori fuku-taicho your presence is requested at the taicho assembly hall immediately for an emergency meeting. That is all.

Yamamoto sou-taicho

As soon this message had finished playing Ichigo and Momo shunpo-ed off towards the squad barracks where the taicho assembly hall is situated only to find when they arrived all the taicho stood in their usual places with their fuku-taicho behind them and in the middle of the hall stood a tall man, a woman who looked to be quite old but not as old has her companion and a younger man with greasy jest black hair. The old man who looked extremely old or just about as old as the Yamamoto, he wore half-moon glasses on and behind lay twinkling blue eyes with a slight mischievous glint to it and plastered on the man's face was a gentle and kind smile, sort of like the one Unohana-san has but just without the fear factor behind it. Thinking about that serene but horrifying smile made Ichigo involuntarily shudder. The old man who had yet to introduce himself wore horrible and lurid purple robes and the woman wore a more sombre emerald green whereas the greasy haired man wore pitch black robes that looked distantly similar to the shihakusho of the shinigami.

"Ah, Kurosaki taicho, Hinamori fuku-taicho you have arrived please take your positions so that we may start this taicho's meeting" Yamamoto sou-taicho banged his wooden cane on the wooden floor of the assembly hall, the can he always kept on his person actually held within it the sealed form of the most powerful fire-type Zanpakuto in the history of the soul society, Ryujin Jakka.

The taichos stood lined up in to two lines that were opposite to each other and in the middle and most prominent position was the sou-taicho with the line to his left starting with soi-fon taicho of squad 2 and ending at the end of the opposite line with Ukitake taicho of squad 13

"we are here today because the Gotei 13 has been asked to help protect a certain wizard named Harry Potter." the sou-taicho began,

"Did I hear you right Yama Jii when you said wizards?" Kyoraku-taicho of squad 8 interrupted, after Yamamoto sou-taicho he was one of the oldest taichos along with Unohana-taicho of the squad 4 and Ukitake-taicho. Kyoraku could be called the laziest taicho in the history of the soul society because all he did was drink sake and sleep before being reprimanded and sternly put back into line by his strict fuku-taicho Nanao Ise.

"Yes, you are right Shunsui when you heard me, in fact our three visitors here are wizards and one in particular is an old friend of mine" The sou-taicho continued seemingly ignoring Kyoraku's use of his informal nickname.

Hey Shiro wake up I need you to listen to what these people have to say and if you don't wake up I'm gonna get Zangetsu-Ossan to hand you over to that nut job Kurotsuchi! Ichigo added maliciously to get the hollow to listen.

NO! King, please for the love of kami please don't I'm awake just don't send me to the freak, anything just not him! Shiro begged with everything he had in him. On second thoughts I'm comin out the old mans giving me death glares and I'd rather have the taichos pissed at me than him.

No, not now Shiro you can come out later, let these people introduce themselves first you baka!, haven't you realised yet that you'll scare the shit out them.

Snapping back to the taicho's meeting Ichigo turned his head and listened attentively to what the three visitors had to say who were obviously not from Rukongai and Hueco Mundo so that left out the fact that these three were from the world of the living which led Ichigo to think why people from the living world had business in the land of the dead.

"Hello, my name is Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, this lady to my right is the deputy headmistress Minerva McGonagall and this man to left is our potions master Severus Snape" The woman introduced as McGonagall gave a faint smile and the potions master Snape just looked away.

"the reason we are here as your head captain or sou-taicho said I have asked for your help to protect a boy named Harry Potter from a dark wizard known as lord Voldermort, the darkest and cruellest wizard in our entire history. On the night he murdered Harry's parents, he tried to also kill Harry but the spell rebounded and instead of Harry being killed something happened no one knows what and how not even I. Voldermort didn't die although he was very weak at the time but he is regaining his strength and he has tried to kill Harry through various different ways for the past 5 years." Dumbledore explained.

An eerie silence swept over the taichos meeting and all the shingami taichos and fuku-taichos who stood quietly all pondering on the same thought Why a man would try over and over again to kill one child, what made him so special?

For the first time since he arrived Ichigo spoke up" so you want us to protect this kid because his life is constantly in danger?"

"precisely, my boy" Dumbledore answered the young taicho simply

"I'm in then, gramps" he looked over to the sou-taicho "can I take part in this mission?" Ichigo grinned feeling Shiro's excitement of the prospect of a mission with combat in it rolling onto him.

"Yes, you can go Kurosaki taicho, but also I am assigning Hitsugaya taicho, Kuchiki fuku-taicho, Abari fuku-taicho and finally Hinamori fuku-taicho." the sou-taicho banged his cane against the wooden floor again " all of those assigned to this mission step forward, you are to leave in two hours with our friends over here" gesturing towards the three wizards " am I clear!

"Hai sou-taicho" they all answered

Ichigo took anther step forward "gramps, what are the limitations and restrictions on our reiatsu?"

"Ah, yes for all of you there will be the usual Gentei Rein, also for you are not allowed to unseal the transcendent seal at all costs and try not to use the mask" he answered

King let me out! let me out! I wanna BOOF!, Old man what the fuck was that for!

Shiro fucking shut up! You're giving me a heading you teme!.

"That is all for today's meeting, you may all leave" the sou-taicho concluded.

The taichos and their fuku-taichos all filed out of the assembly hall going back to their respective barracks except for those who were picked for the mission to protect Harry Potter all waited until they were all there.

Toshiro Hitsugaya taicho of squad 10 spoke up first " Thank god I'm on this mission I can't wait to get away from all that damn paperwork and not to mention Rangiku" He sighed blissfully finally getting away from his lazy and drunken fuku-taicho was one of the top things on Hitsugaya's list of things to do.

"Hey strawberry, don't kill the kid when you're trying to protect him alright, but knowing your shit control of your reiatsu will probably already do that" scoffed Renji taking advantage of the momentary silence that had followed Hitsugaya's outburst of his good fortune.

"What did you just call me Pineapple! Ichigo fired right back to the red-headed fuku-taicho "don't kill the kid when you try doing shakkaho, you amateur!" the young taicho continued getting the rest of the group including Toshiro to laugh at Renji who's face was quickly turning as red as his hair.

"Alright you bakas shut it already" Rukia ordered Ichigo and Renji, effectively shutting up the two before they got started and getting ready to aim a kick at Ichigo's shin if he said one more stupid remark.

Hahahahaha! Kami that was funny the midget queen scared the shit out of you there king!

Oh, shut the fuck up you dick!

"All of us should check up on our squads before we go, we don't know how long this mission will be so we might as well plan any contingency plans if we take longer than the expected time, we'll meet here in about an hour to get some checks done before the mission brief" Hitsugaya ordered taking command of the group instantly before he shunpo-ed of to his squad only to find his fuku-taicho passed out drunk.

"RANGIKU!"

"I think the rest of the Seireitei heard that" Momo snickered at her childhood friend's difficult predicament.

"Lets go Momo, we got things to do, Ja ne, pineapple, midget" Ichigo smirked at the reactions of the owners of the respective insults for just a second b he shunpo-ed of before they reacted to his snide remark

"See you two later, bye" Momo told her two academy friends before leaving to go catch up to her taicho.

"Renji, I need to go check up on Ukitake taicho and make sure that Kiyone and Sentaro aren't up to their usual routine", speaking about the two hyperactive joint third seats who argued which was Ukitake's favourite.

"Well I might as well get some paperwork done before taicho chews me out again" the redhead spoke to himself and shuddered at the thought of his taicho's anger before he too left.

**Time Skip 1 hour 45**

All of the mission participants had gathered outside of the first squad barracks to have a quick conversation about what the mission might entail.

"First of all where is the mission and how long is it going to be?" Hitsugaya asked no one in particular.

"I don't know, but as long as I'm back before the term holiday finishes I don't care" Ichigo replied back to the short taicho. He had been given the job as squad 5's taicho two weeks after he killed Aizen as part-time because he was still living and in school, so he only usually came on weekends and in emergencies other than that he stayed in Karakura town, purifying the hollows that dared to tread in Karakura these days.

**Flashback 2 weeks after Aizen's defeat**

"I declare this emergency taicho's meeting to begin, Kurotsuchi taicho what were these interesting results that you reported from Karakura town?" The sou-taicho's half lidded eyes turned to stare at the squad 12 taicho as his voice boomed at him, to all the taichos Kurotsuchi was quite frankly a nut job who should've been put back in the maggots nest but the only thing stopping them was that the only other person who could have taken the job was none other than Kisuke Urahara but he had refused saying that he was comfortable with the job as a humble shopkeeper.

"Yes they are very interesting readings, I'll try to explain it simply to you simpletons, Karakura-

He was interrupted by a gargantuan opening up right in front of Ichigo, three Vasto Lorde class arrancars exited it, they all kneeled in front of him "We are here to pledge our homage to you Kurosaki-sama" they all chanted all at once shocking all the taicho's and fuku-taichos who had all drawn their Zanpakuto to repel any sort of attack.

"What is the meaning of this, answer quickly otherwise your lives will be forfeit" the sou-taichos threatened the Vasto Lordes and any one could see that they looked none too happy at having Zanpakuto pointed at them poised to kill

"We do not answer to you old man only to our king and who he deems we answer to" one spat as he stepped forward to show he was the leader of the group.

"How dare you talk to Yamamoto-sensei like that" Ukitake hissed taken aback by the rudeness of the hollow to the sou-taicho.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by Kurosaki-sama?" Ichigo asked with a look of complete confusion in his face at the whole commotion.

"We are here to pay our respect to you as you are our king" The leader answered again but this time surprising everyone with his respectful and humble tone.

"King!?, what the hell do you mean?" Ichigo practically shouted reeling in shock with the rest of the Gotei's elite.

"My lord I respectfully ask you to ask your comrades to lower their weapons so that we may explain" the leader bowed as he spoke to Ichigo

"Lower your weapons, everyone but be on guard as for you hollows, hurry up and explain before I lose my patience and change my decision" The sou-taicho ordered.

Everyone lowered their Zanpakuto put remained on guard and were ready to attack even if one hollow made a move.

The leader spoke again" My lord in Hueco Mundo, the king is decided by a duel between the current king and the contender, and at the time Sosuke Aizen was our king and as you killed him he title of King of Hueco Mundo is rightfully yours."

A shocked silence took hold over the executive officers of the Gotei 13 while they tried to take in the news of something that they had never before heard of, all times before Aizen Hueco Mundo was thought to be a land where only the strongest survive and there was no sort of central government.

"We also bear a message from Ulquiorra-sama who is currently in charge alongside Harribel-sama and Starrk-sama, they want you to come back to Hueco Mundo and we as your guard after delivering this joyous news to you so you can ascend to your rightful throne in Los Noches".

"How do we know all this is king news is a lie and the moment Kurosaki steps onto Hueco Mundo you're going to kill him or trap him there as is your nature!" Soi-fon spat at the hollows, who now looked horrified and their eyes showed their fear, even the leader who many thought was haughty and rude bore the same expression on his face.

"How dare you accuse of us such pathetic lies we are here to bring our king to Hueco Mundo, He is our king and as such we will follow him anywhere and do whatever he asks even if we must die for him this is the right of our lord king" the leader roared and then bowed to Ichigo forgive us for the outburst my lord but we had to defend these lowly insults against us in order to save face, our punishment is that whatever you deem acceptable for us, our humblest apologies" The leader practically begged to Ichigo from the floor.

"Hey stop fucking crying, I don't care if you shouted you don't need a punishment to get the hell off the floor." Ichigo replied straight away to the leader.

"Thank you for your leniency and generosity my lord I am in your ever living debt!"

"If you don't shut up now with this lord and sama shit then I'm gonna throw you into the wall and that's only something I do to my dad!" Ichigo growled, he was seriously starting to get ticked off at all the grovelling at his feet.

"Anyway if you're bothered about king, the old man and me being trapped in Hueco Mundo you got another thing coming cos me and king can open a garganta" Shiro had just materialised himself and had his usual psychotic grins plastered on his face.

"If you are worried about Ichigo being attacked or killed then you have gravely mistaken that I am here and will protect Ichigo to my last breath." Zangetsu materialised himself with his hand on Ichigo's shoulder and the cleaver in his other hand ready for an attack.

The both of the spirits that made up Ichigo's his power glared at Soi-fon daring her to underestimate them again. At the sight of the combined glares Soi-fon immediately felt the sheer power radiating from the two of them. While everyone else just stared at her reaction which was a quiet apology to the two spirits, during all of this the group of Vasto Lorde arrancars watched with expressions akin to awe at the strength of the new king.

"Kurosaki taicho, you are permitted to go to Hueco Mundo, but you are to be accompanied by one taicho as an assurance of your safety, Kuchiki taicho you will go with Kurosaki taicho to Hueco Mundo so he can ascend to the throne of Hueco Mundo." The said taicho stood with his eyes closed in his same stoic indifference only nodded slightly to show his acceptance to the mission.

"How long will this take cos I need to get home by the end of the day otherwise my dad's gonna go overboard with his stupidity" The orange headed boy sighed when he mentioned his father.

"Relax king just say you were out with queen sorry I mean Rukia" Shiro added just to bring a few laughs which it did, around the room, Renji snickered, Byakuya raised an eyebrow, Jushiro smiled and Shunsui tipped his hat down and mentioned something about young love while our favourite carrot top's face went as red as Renji's hair.

"My lord, this will not take too long as there are only a few that wish to contend your right to the throne." the leader also added.

"What are we waiting for then, lets go!" Ichigo stated with a determined look in his eye while he tapped the air with his finger opening a garganta with Kuchiki taicho right behind while the group of hollows followed the two taichos as it closed behind them.

"Where do we need it to open?" Ichigo asked while he ran forward

"Just outside Los Noches my lord, everyone will be waiting there for your arrival" The leader spoke again.

"Stop calling me 'my lord' I don't like it just call me Ichigo or Kurosaki all right?" the boy smiled slightly.

"Thank you for this honour my- no Ichigo" he bowed his head and Ichigo just sighed.

The garganta opened up to outside of Los Noches where a lot of hollows varying from adjuchas to Vasto Lordes and to arrancars, everyone jumped down without any sort of hesitance to the amount and the strength of the combined hollows could have not even Byakuya who showed not even an inch of fear or wariness just indifference on his stoic mask but Ichigo knew that he only took off that mask when he showed his care for Rukia.

They landed on the cold white sands of the ever eternal night of Hueco Mundo with the crescent moon above shining brightly supplying everyone the light they needed for this gathering. The hollows turned to look at them and when they saw Ichigo's hair they bowed all of them save for a few, some were challengers and the others were Coyote Starrk formerly Primera espada, Tia Harribel formerly Tercera espada and Ulquiorra Cifer. "We meet again Ichigo Kurosaki and this time it is when you are to ascend above my level and up to another" The monotone voice of the formerly Quattro espada cut through the air as the group walked towards them.

"Yes we do, but first what do I have to do to get this king crap over and done with?" he replied back to the emotionless arrancars.

"You must fight all the contenders and then you will truly be able to rise to the throne of Hueco Mundo" came his monotonous reply

"that's simple then" the orange replied as he turned to the crowd of hollows "any of you lot want to challenge me!" he asked them and with it came a few roars or growls from some adjuchas levelled hollows and one Vasto Lorde.

"Step forward then and fight me!" he called out to the challengers 'lets do this Shiro'

Hell yeah! you bet we are gonna kick some fuckin ass!

The challengers stepped forward round Ichigo while everyone else gave them a large are to fight in while Ichigo stood in the middle his reiatsu slowly rising while a hole and a mask formed over his face and then a large amount of smoke obscured everyone's vision and a huge overbearing reiatsu pressed on everyone forcing nearly everyone to the ground under the pressure while some weaker hollows blacked out, RRRRRRRAAAARRR! Whoa this feeling, it it feels awesome! came a double voice that vaguely sounded like Ichigo and more like Shiro. Byakuya's eye's widened as an ominous figure stood out from the sand that had been kicked up by the massive increase of reiatsu. A lean figure but with horns, the skin deathly pale like Ulquiorra's save for some tribal tattoos which marked at the top of the mask and around the hollow hole which rested right in the middle of the creature's chest.

The creature stepped forward and he could be clearly seen it had red tufts of fur round it's wrists and neck while it's hands were clawed and midnight black at the end, the face was a truly horrifying visage sending fear into all of those who dared to look into the endless darkness where he eyes would be, the same tribal markings adorned it and the face seemed to be permanently twisted into a psychotic grin, the horns at the top of the head were bent forwards like a bull ready to charge.

Everyone seemed shaken and terrified by the appearance of the creature and the disappearance of Kurosaki Ichigo, "Are you Kurosaki Ichigo" Byakuya asked the creature needing to know if the boy had not lost control of the hollow within him.

Of course it's me Byakuya, why would you think that for? Ichigo announced himself as he lowered his reiatsu output enough for everyone to stand up and breathe properly again.

"look down at yourself" came the simple reply from the usually stoic taicho but even he looked and sounded shaken even though he hid it well from everyone.

"Huh" the teenager looked down at his body "AHHHH! Shiro you retard you overdid it, were a complete hollow now you fuckin idiot, we were supposed to only merge halfway!" Ichigo shouted not realising he had said it out loud at the hollow spirit that made up a third of his soul.

"Kurosaki, it is time for you to defend your claim to the throne" Ulquiorra's monotone voice cut Ichigo off before he could carry on ranting at Shiro.

"Fine then, lets dance then" Ichigo addressed the contenders who surrounded him and they looked worse for wear before the battle had even started, Ichigo drew Zangetsu from it's pitch black sheath, "Get ready now otherwise you might no know what's coming" he stated before he disappeared in a buzz of sonido which was so fast hat none present could even see the transcendent boy. Within a flash the fight was over, all the opponents were lying on the floor dead with Ichigo standing in the middle as if he hadn't moved an inch.

Ichigo's body cracked and split revealing the familiar face of the transcendent soul reaper after all the remains of the creature faded back into spirit particles as everyone just looked at him with mixtures of fear, awe at the sight of another of Ichigo's spectacular and unique abilities.

"Are there any more challenger's to this man's claim to the throne Hueco Mundo, if so step forward now to challenge him or forever stay your blade" Ulquiorra announced to the crowd of hollows, arrancars. "there are none, Ichigo Kurosaki do you accept the title and throne of King of Hueco Mundo?" the former espada and enemy looked at the boy as he waited for his answer.

"Yes, I do" Ichigo replied firmly with determination filled on his voice.

"And with that, Hail Ichigo Kurosaki, King of Hueco Mundo!" and with that statement every hollow bowed and even Byakuya to Ichigo's surprise and amazement bowed his head slightly acknowledging the boy as his superior now.

"Alright first things first I don't want any Menos class hollows in Karakura unless it is an emergency that you need me to sort out, also if I am not in Karakura please wait at my barracks in the Soul Society as this will be a safe entry point for you without the chance of being attacked or harassed. While I'm not here Ulquiorra, Harribel and Stark are in charge although I will try to visit here every 3 weeks, am I clear?" Ichigo ordered all the hollows in the vicinity with the authority of a king.

"HAI!" Came a resounding reply from everyone except for Byakuya, who stood silently to the side waiting for Ichigo so he could escort him back to the Soul Society.

Ulquiorra opened a garganta for Ichigo and Byakuya to travel back to the Soul Society and report to the Sou-taicho of the events that had panned out in Hueco Mundo.

**Flashback end**

"Hey Ichigo we have to get to the briefing now so stop reminiscing you baka!" Rukia scolded the taicho snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Alright fine you annoying midget!" he snapped back to the smaller if not vertically challenged fuku-taicho.

"I am not a midget I'm just small strawberry!" came an heated reply "I-" she was cut off from her rant by Hitsugaya when he reminded them that they still had to go to the briefing and saving everyone from the daily shouting match between the two friends.

The five shinigami entered the taicho assembly hall to find the Sou-taicho and the old man who had come but the other two who had accompanied him seemed to have already left the two old men were waiting for them so that they could be briefed about the mission. Kurotsuchi-taicho was also there with some gigais for the shinigami.

"Ah, you are here, come quickly, our guests have other business to also be dealing with." The sou-taicho beckoned the two taichos and three fuku-taichos closer to the wizards.

"Your mission as you know will be in England to protect a boy. To protect him properly you will be placed in close proximity to him and as such will be posing as students at Hogwarts, also as this is a trying time for Professor Dumbledore and this boy the mission will be a year long. The sou-taicho stated firmly.

"What a year long!? Gramps remember I have school what am I supposed to tell my sisters and I have obligations in Hueco Mundo, I cant leave everything for a year, not to mention the paperwork." Ichigo interrupted. As Ichigo mentioned paperwork Toshiro's eyes widened thinking about what would happen if Rangiku was left to her own devices with the squad for a year.

"It is okay Kurosaki-taicho, all of this can be sorted out, firstly we can get Kisuke Urahara to make something up for you, secondly as you are king you are expected to show your face like you said, you will be able to visit during school times and the problem about paperwork is quite simple we send it to you through the use of the jigokucho." The old man replied while Toshiro groaned in the background about the curse of paperwork and his fuku-taicho.

"Excuse me Yamamoto-san but what do you mean by king and Hueco Mundo because it isn't Japanese so please could you enlighten me and aren't soul reapers supposed to be dead?" Dumbledore inquired feeling very confused about Ichigo's outburst

"Ah yes, Kurosaki-taicho is a very special case because my dear friend even though you know of shinigami and hollows there are many things that you don't know, Kurosaki-taicho is a soul reaper but also a human because his mother was a human and his father a shingami taicho so Kurosaki over here is still alive but also dead, furthermore the word Hueco Mundo is the world or dimension in which the hollows live and Kurosaki-taicho is king there after he killed the previous king, does that answer your question?" was the reply of Yamamoto knowing full well he had left out the part of Ichigo being a transcendent as well as a hybrid of shinigami and hollow.

"Yes thank you, Yamamoto-san".

Yamamoto acknowledged the answer of an old friend of his and turned towards the shinigami "You will now leave with our guest and I don't want certain individuals causing trouble" he announced looking quite pointedly in Ichigo's direction.

He can't be talkin about lil ol me right king? Shiro added sarcastically much to Ichigo's amusement.

Kurotsuchi stood forward and looked to the mission participants " alright you fools listen now because I am not going to repeat myself, these gigais have been specially modified so that you will be able to channel a bit but not all of your reiatsu through it however they will take some time getting used to because of this modification." and with that announcement the crazy taicho left the hall using flash step.

Dumbledore pulled out a necklace and asked the group to hold on tightly, as soon as they all had a hand on the necklace all six of the people who were holding onto the necklace disappeared.

Yamamoto sighed with relief at the prospect of three of the biggest trouble makers (I'm sure you can guess) out of the Seireitei for a whole year.

Chapter end.
