God Mimihagi

"What... What do you mean, Ichigo?" Ukitake asked while he was smiling nervously at him. Ichigo snorted.

"Don't give me that bullshit. You know full well what I'm talking about. Tell me the truth, Ukitake. " Ichigo's eyes turned into Zangetsu's Hollow-like eyes. Ukitake gulped.

"A... Alright. I'll tell you, please don't kill me!" Ukitake pleaded to him. He then coughed violently.

He wiped his mouth and looked at his right hand. There was some blood on it. Ichigo frowned.

"The soul inside me.... His name is Mimihagi. He is a God and he saved my life when I was just three years old." Ukitake explained.

" When I was three, I had developed lung disease, the doctors couldn't treat it and just abandoned me. My parents took me to Mimihagi's shrine in the outer areas of Eastern Rukongai. They prayed for Mimihagi to take my lungs away, which Mimihagi did. This allowed me to survive and become a Shinigami." Ukitake explained to him. Ichigo nodded.

" Yeah but now you don't have any lungs, you cough blood and you're getting closer and closer to dying every day." Ichigo replied with a deadpan. Ukitake chuckled.

" Like I said, I got used to it." Ukitake replied to him. Ichigo looked at Ukitake's chest.

" I'm going to take Mimihagi away from you. " Ichigo suddenly told him.

" What—

*PSH!!!*

Ukitake widened his eyes as Ichigo stabbed his right hand through his chest. Strangely, he didn't feel any pain at all.

Ukitake looked at Ichigo who had an emotionless face on him. "I'm doing this for your own good, Ukitake." Ichigo told him. He looked at his own right hand.

It was slowly turning pitch black. It's like Ichigo was being infected with some sort of virus.

Suddenly, a bunch of black colored eyes opened on his arm. He watched as the eyes looked around them.

"So this is what Danzo must've felt like." Ichigo muttered to himself.

All of a sudden, the eyes shut themselves tightly. Ichigo watched in awe as a single, large eye opened on the back of the fist.

"Argh! Fuck!" Ichigo grunted and clenched his head in pain. His head was ringing repeatedly.

He closed his eyes and resisted the urge to scream. But suddenly the pain stopped. Ichigo slowly opened his eyes and looked around him.

He was in his inner world again. But it was different than the last time he was in here. The skyscrapers were gone and were replaced with a grassy field that spanned for miles and miles.

"Where am I...."

Ichigo heard a male voice and turned around to look at the person who called him.

He widened his eyes a little. In front of him, there was a giant statue with Mimihagi on it.

Mimihagi took the form of a humanoid entity with a body shaped like an arm and a clenched right fist, with a single, large eye on the back of the fist. It wore a simple tunic and had a large band encircling the area behind the fist.

"Are you Mimihagi?" Ichigo asked him. Mimihagi narrowed it's only eye at Ichigo.

"I am. And who are you, foolish human?" Mimihagi asked him. Ichigo smiled at him.

"Kurosaki Ichigo. Just call me Ichigo." Ichigo introduced himself.

"Where am I?" Mimihagi asked while still looking at him sceptically.

"I absorbed you. You are now in my inner world, I think. It didn't look like this last time." Ichigo muttered. Mimihagi narrowed its only eye even more.

"Why did you absorb me into your body?" Mimihagi asked him another question. Ichigo rubbed his head.

" Because Ukitake whose body you have been occupying before is going to break down eventually if you keep being in his body. " Ichigo explained.

" Your logic definitely makes sense here." Mimihagi replied sarcastically. Ichigo sighed in defeat.

" Look, all you need to know is that my inner world is your new home now. " Ichigo told him. Mimihagi closed its one eye.

"Are you a Shinigami like him as well?" Mimihagi asked him. Ichigo scratched his head.

" I'm a special case. " Ichigo answered. Mimihagi opened his one eye again.

" How so? " Mimihagi asked with a curious tone.

" I have Fullbringer, Hollow and Shinigami powers. I also absorbed the Kikōō. My Zanpakuto spirit, Zangetsu is a Hollow mixed with my Shinigami powers. I'm a human by the way. " Ichigo explained. Mimihagi's eyes got wider and wider as Ichigo explained his existing powers.

"You are lying!" Mimihagi shouted in disbelief. Ichigo looked at him with a confused face.

"But it's true. I do have all of those powers." Ichigo argued calmly.

"Not that you buffoon! There's one more you forgot to mention!" Mimihagi revealed.

" And that power. It feels so familiar as well. " Mimihagi added. Mimihagi looked at Ichigo in the eyes.

"You have his powers." Mimihagi told him.

"Whose powers?" Ichigo asked back.

"You have the powers of 'The Sealed King.' " Mimihagi answered vaguely. Ichigo widened his eyes a little.

"Wait, I have the powers of the progenitor of the Quincy?" Ichigo asked him. Mimihagi stayed silent.

" Shit. I didn't know I was this lucky. " Ichigo muttered to himself. Mimihagi looked at him once more.

'All four of those powers, and he's still a human. No! Impossible! He couldn't be! ' Mimihagi thought to itself.

"Ichigo. Master every part of your powers." Mimihagi ordered him. Ichigo looked at him. He stayed quiet and nodded.

" Once you do. Visit me again. We will discuss more about you once you do. And now I must get used to this new environment that I'm in. Farewell, Ichigo.....

Ichigo blinked repeatedly and palmed his face. "Ugh.... My head." Ichigo grumbled and looked at Ukitake who was unconscious and lying in his bed.

"Oh shit." Ichigo cursed and carried Ukitake. He used Sonído and appeared in front of the Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho, the primary medical facility of the Seireitei and Soul Society at large.

"Medic!" Ichigo shouted. In an instant, a few Shinigami burst out of the door to the medical facility.

"What happened?" Iemura asked him.

"I found him lying unconscious on the bed when I wanted to visit him. He isn't breathing. I think his lungs are destroyed!" Ichigo explained the situation. Iemura nodded and stretched out his hands.

" Hand him over to me. We'll take over." Iemura told him. Ichigo nodded and handed Ukitake's unconscious body to him.

Iemura imma ran back inside the Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho.

Ichigo sighed and looked at his hands. The darkness on his right arm was gone and was back to normal. He looked at the entrance to the Sōgō Kyūgo Tsumesho. Ichigo started to walk away from the place.

" Let's hope the Mayuri the ass clown can build artificial lungs for you...
