Night of Tsukishima and Shishigawara's Attack

Ichigo was walking home, deep in thought about something. As he turned into one of the alleyways he saw his Dad, Isshin, standing there.

Ichigo: *thinking* Dad?

Isshin turned around but Ichigo hid in the alleyway he was just in to prevent Isshin from seeing him.

"What's the matter?"

Entering the alleyway to meet Isshin was Urahara.

Isshin: No, it's nothing

"It definitely seemed like something."

A third voice joined the conversation, belonging to (F/N).

Isshin: You look horrible. What happened to you?

(F/N): (Y/N) was attacked by both of the Fullbringers so I had to help.

Ichigo, eavesdropping on the conversation, was shocked.

Ichigo: *thinking* No way. When did they get the jump on (Y/N)? We just saw each other earlier...

Isshin: That shouldn't be a battle you two should've lost...

(F/N): (Y/N) got attacked while he was still human. They stole his combat pass so he had to allow his hollow to take over so he could fight back.

Ichigo wasn't sure how to take the news.

Isshin: Let's go somewhere else.

Urahara: Why?

Isshin: Just in case. This isn't the best place to have a conversation like this.

Urahara: I see. Let's do that.

(F/N): Lead the way then.

As the three adults left, one thing ran through Ichigo's head.

Ichigo: *thinking* I've got to regain my powers as soon as possible!

The Next Day

(Y/N) stood in front of Orihime's apartment. (Y/N) mind thought back to the events of the previous day.

(Y/N): *thinking* Man... I really screwed over Orihime's district by letting Thanatos loose. Thankfully her apartment didn't get caught in the crossfire.

On cue, Orihime opened the door, exiting her apartment.

Orihime: Sorry for making you wait.

(Y/N): It's no problem, really. Let's get going.

As (Y/N) and Orihime started to walk to school, (Y/N) saw the amount of debris that lay on the street. Orihime noticed (Y/N) staring.

Orihime: You don't have to feel bad, you know.

(Y/N): I caused a huge commotion...

Orihime: You were just protecting yourself. It's fine.

(Y/N): *sigh* I guess... What's done is done.

...

...

...

Orihime: I'm sorry I wasn't truthful about what happened yesterday...

(Y/N): No, it's alright. Now that we have an idea what Tsukishima's powers are, it only makes sense.

Orihime: Yeah... I have to admit, I was a bit scared to know you encountered both of them at the same time. When I saw your unconscious body at my doorstep I almost fainted.

(Flashback)

After Thanatos dropped (Y/N)'s body in front of Orihime's apartment, he gave a knock on Orihime's door before he took off to find Tsukishima and Shishigawara.

Orihime, now much more cautious after her encounter with Tsukishima, open her door slowly and looked around.

Orihime: Huh? I swore I heard a-

Just then, (Y/N)'s body fell over, now infront of Orihime's door.

(Flashback End)

Orihime: I thought you were dead when I saw your wounds so I started to panic. Thankfully I was able to sense your spiritual pressure, so I knew you were still alive somehow.

(Y/N): Sorry for scaring you like that. You were the closest person who I knew could heal me so I kinda just dropped my body there so I could go after Tsukishima.

Orihime: You said you got in a fight with Sushigawara, right?

(Y/N): "Shishigawara", and yeah. I had to fight him without transforming. I never felt so much pain in my life.

Just then, Orihime's phone started to ring.

Orihime: It's Chad.

(Y/N): Really? Put it on speaker.

Orihime answered the phone.

Orihime: Chad?

Orihime, are you okay? I know you didn't want to talk about what happened yesterday with Ichigo present...

Orihime: Yeah, but more importantly, (Y/N) was attacked right after.

Chad was surprised.

Seriously?

Orihime: He's okay now though, he's standing right next to me.

(Y/N): Yo.

(Y/N)! What happened yesterday?

(Y/N): Well...

(Mini Timeskip)

Chad: So, it's true?

Orihime: Yes. I'm positive I was cut. But when I came to, there was no wound, and the people who came here were gone. And then, when you all came, for a split second, I thought of that person as a friend.

(Y/N): The same thing happened to dad.

Chad: What do you mean?

Orihime: Sorry I don't really understand what I'm saying either. I just felt like he was my friend. It's not like I mistook him for someone else or that I was mistaken. How should I put it... It felt like I thought about the past and suddenly I remembered who he was.

(Y/N): The problem is... we don't know if this ability is temporary or permanent. Orihime, it would be wise if you visit my dad. If you're potentially still under the effects of Tsukishima's fullbring it would be safe to have it negated. We don't have the full understanding of his technique just yet.

Orihime: Roger that!

Chad: You said there were two of them together?

Orihime: Yes.

Chad: You said one of them was named Tsukishima, right? What was the name of the other one?

Orihime: Moe Sushigawara.

(Y/N): Shishigawara.

Orihime: Oh, right.

Chad: Then I'll try to get some information on my end.

(Y/N): How will you-

Chad hung up before (Y/N) could finish his sentence.

Chad: ...Maybe I should've told (Y/N) about the other fullbringers...

(Timeskip) Chad's POV

Chad entered a bar.

"Hey, That you Chad?""

A man who was sitting in one of the chairs called out to Chad. The man in question was Ginjo Kugo.

Chad: Mhm. Where's Ichigo?

Ginjo: Over there.

Ginjo pointed to a dollhouse sitting on one of the tables.

Chad: I see. That's perfect.

Ginjo: Huh?

Chad: I wanted to ask you something. That guy you told me about. This Tsukishima. I want to know about his ability.



Chad gave a rundown of the conversation he had with (Y/N) and Orihime.

Ginjo: I see. Inoue and (L/N) said that, huh?

Chad: I'm thinking that's what Tsukishima's ability is.

Ginjo: Ability?

Chad: That's right. The power of suggestion or interfering with memories. Did Tsukishima's Fullbring have that sort of special ability? Tell me. Don't keep anything from me now. Don't hide it.

Ginjo got up from his seat.

Ginjo: I'm not hiding anything. I'm puzzled.

Chad: Puzzled?

Ginjo: If Tsukishima possessed such an ability, I would've definitely told you at the beginning. Tsukishima's Fullbring is called "Book of the End". An extremely deadly weapon, a sword that can cut anything. But that sword possesses no special abilities.

Chad: Is it possible that his ability changed?

Ginjo: That couldn't be. Fullbring powers don't change with growth.

Chad: But my ability has gone through a lot of changes!

Ginjo: No, you're mistaken. In your case, you just weren't able to find your Fullbring's innate ability in the early stages. How many years do you think we've lived with our Fullbring? We're way past that stage.

Chad: Then what happened to Orihime and Mr. (L/N)?

Ginjo: That's why I said I'm puzzled. As far as I know, that wasn't the work of Tsukishima's ability. What about Uryu Ishida?

Chad: Huh?

Ginjo: He was attacked by Tsukishima, wasn't he? Is Uryu Ishida's memory in disarray? We need to make sure. If Uryu Ishida's memory is also affected, that's something else we have to worry about. If his memories haven't been affected...

Chad: Then what?

Ginjo: It means someone else stabbed Orihime Inoue and (F/N) (L/N).

"Are you sure?"

A familiar voice was heard from outside of the bar. The door of the bar was then broken down. And the person on the other side was none other than...



Shukuro Tsukishima.

Tsukishima: Hi. It's been a long time, Ginjo.

Ginjo: Tsukishima!

Tsukishima: How've you all been?

Tsukishima looked over to the bartender.

Tsukishima: Kutsuzawa, hope you haven't been drinking too much.

Then Tsukishima looked over to a kid that looked like a highschool student, who held a portable game console in his hands.

Tsukishima: Yukio, looks like you're still engrossed with playing games. That's not good. You need to read more books.

Tsukishima looked around once again.

Tsukishima: Riruka's not here?

Ginjo: Tsukishima! What did you come here for?

Tsukishima ignored Ginjo's questions a s he looked around again.

Tsukishima: I don't see Jackie around, either.

Ginjo: Tsukishima!

Tsukishima then walked towards the doll house sitting on one of the tables.

Tsukishima: Are they in there?

Ginjo: Wait, Tsukishima!

Tsukishima immediately slashed the dollhouse open. The Dollhouse then exploded in massive black spiritual energy.

Ginjo: What is this?!

Standing outside of the dollhouse was Ichigo covered in black spiritual energy reminiscent of his Shinigami Shihakusho. His right hand was engulfed in black spiritual energy, so much so he was able to create a sword made of spiritual energy in his right hand, similar to when he used Mugetsu.



Ginjo: Ichigo... That's...

Chad: *thinking* A Shihakusho! Could it be that his Shinigami powers have returned? No, that's not a Shihakusho. It's a Clad-Type Fullbring! Is this the true form of Ichigo's Fullbring?! Of course! It was the same with Ichigo's Bankai. Not only his sword, but his Shihakusho changed as well. He said his Shihakusho was a part of his Bankai. It was a Bankai that was worn. For Ichigo, wearing his power is his true form.

Tsukishima simply smiled and looked at Ichigo.

Tsukishima: Did you know? When Riruka's Dollhouse is broken, whatever's inside is forcibly set free. So you were hiding and training in that thing. But I must say, you've come quite far. If that was the case, you could have told me.

Tsukishima swung his sword and Ichigo reflected it.

Ichigo: Who are you? What do you want with me?

Tsukishima: Oh? This is a surprise. You mean you haven't heard about me yet?

Chad: *thinking* Oh no... Ichigo hasn't seen Tsukishima so he doesn't know it's him!

Tsukishima: I'm Shukuro Tsukishima. Your friend's-

Chad activated his fullbring and punched Tsukishima, causing a huge shockwave that blew a hole through the bar's wall.

Ginjo: Chad, wait!

Yukio: Idiot. Do something like that in here and-

Resident A: What was that?!

Resident B: Was that an explosion?! From where?!

Resident C: Did a gas leak cause an explosion?!

Resident B: Call the police!

Resident A: Hurry, hurry!

Riruka: What was that noise?!

Yukio: See? You get fools going crazy. What a pain.

Kutsuzawa: I'll handle the neighbors, the fire department and the police.

Yukio: Oh boy... Who do you think has to pay to fix all of this damage?

Riruka: Hey! What was that noise about?! Hey, tell me! Somebody explain!

(Meanwhile)

(Y/N) was heading to lunch with his friends but as he was making his way to the rooftop (their usual hang out spot). He needed to warn them about the threat of Tsukishima. As he headed to the rooftop, he got a text message from Urahara.

(Y/N) opened the message and read it.

"Yoooo, (Y/N)! Tonight will be when we collect the spiritual energy from the Captains and lieutenants. I'll need you and (F/N) to come with."

(Y/N) smiled at the message.

(Y/N): *thinking* Things are finally falling into place...

(Y/N) spoke too soon as he immediately felt a massive spiritual pressure.

(Y/N): *thinking* My luck sucks... Wait a minute... Is that Ichigo's spiritual pressure? It feels different but it also feels like that of a Full...bringer...

...

...

...

(Y/N): Ichigo has been training with Fullbringers... There's more than just two of them!

To be continued.
