2 Chapter 2: Soul Reaper & Sharky

Chapter 2: Soul Reaper and Sharky the Shark

Note: Alright my Doods! The story was a moderate hit which I should expect for this since I've branched out from my usual fandom.

Now while I'm reading through the reviews of the first chapter I would like to address a couple things.

-Tatsuki: Several people suggested this fiery human girl as Ichigo's romantic partner, I like her too but she's only human and barely stood against a casual Yammy in the Arrancar Arc so Ichigo in this story wouldn't fall for someone so weak, despite being friends with her.

-Homosexuality: Someone commented about this on AO3 and I think I am due an explanation, sometime ago I had a friend on quotiv who has social anxiety and writing was considered an outlet to him but every work he published always included a straight ship from his favorite animes until someone commented why he doesn't do a popular yaoi ship, he said that he didn't like having yaoi in his stories which turned into a mob that spammed all sorts of mean shit to the point where he deleted his entire account from quotiv. Moral of the story. People are assholes.

Anyway my Doods! Let's get this story rolling! Now if anyone has any ideas they want added in or even some ocs then ask because I'm looking to get as much help as I can because with your help we can make 'The Lone Reaper' one of the best bleach stories

-Dream/Flashback-

A Short Orange Haired man was panting heavily as he crouched behind a large boulder though the young man was wearing a mysterious black shihakusho outfit commonly the outfit of the soul reapers, the man disappeared in a split moment while dodging the slash of red energy which sliced through the large boulder the young man was hiding behind "An Elemental Duo, With me can make a scene, I am the timeless companion, of the wildwood queen"

Kisuke Urahara wearing his usual green jacket, pj pants, a kimono top and his stylish stupid had spoken the riddle as he raised his sword that wasn't the cane he usually carried, but it was a red grip which it's bottom was bent slightly to an angle while the grip was U-Shaped and the blade had a flat tip with a black and white color.

Ichigo Kurosaki appeared in an instant as he slashed at Kisuke with a normal looking katana however the shop owner swiftly turned around and slashed through the sword blade with his own before kicking the orange top heavily to Urahara's right "Dammit Ichigo! Focus! How can you be the strongest of the soul reapers OR quinces if you don't focus!?"

Ichigo skied on the ground heavily and groaned in deep pain while his eyes landed on his sword which it's blade was cut off very close to the hilt 'ugh...why can't I focus? Is it because I'm weak?' The orange man got onto one knee and coughed up some blood on the black shihakusho top even while Kisuke spoke darkly as he walked towards the orange top "even now you're unfocused, what will you do when the hollows take your mother! Sisters! Your adopted brother! Your world! What will you do when they take your world!?! Tell me!! WHAT WILL YOU TAKE FROM THE HOLLOWS!?"

Ichigo looked up glaring at his master as a fire somehow ignited and gripped his sword, in a whisper that chilled Urahara to his bone.

"Everything.... Sear the open air with your malevolent gaze, burn the earth with your wrathful dance, steam the ocean in a vile game, laugh in the ashes of your own flame: Taiyo no Megami" Ichigo spoken in a husked voice just as the katana started to glow in a bright orange and a massive flame erupted from Ichigo while scorching the ground around the orange haired reaper while the sword is shifting within the bright flame before the fire subdued and disappeared leaving Ichigo to stand in a circle of black scorch and soot, the sword became a bright orange blade that seemed to exude a dangerous heat while the guard is turned from a normal brownish to a beautiful golden oval with the handle became golden and a red grip.

Ichigo stared at Kisuke while showing the crazed mentor the orange haired man's birth of his shikai.

The man smiled as he raised his own Zanpakuto against Ichigo's new weapon "excellent...now, Tell me Ichigo...what's in my pocket"

-End Flashback-

The Orange Haired Man gasped as he somehow forced himself awake from a time during his intense training from the insane scientist before slowly getting up to see himself still wearing his school's outfit and Quincy Cross wrapped around his left wrist, Ichigo hoisted himself towards the side of his bed to properly sit on it then to look to the desk, Barron as it should with only a slight alter where Ichigo's Zanpakuto 'Taiyo no Megami' was placed there.

Ichigo groaned abit as he rubbed his eyes as to get the sleepiness out though while he's doing this, The Orange Top pulled out his latest iPhone X20 from his right pocket to look to see 9 Missed Calls which 2 are from Kaigo Asano, 1 from Tatsuki Arisawa, 1 from Orihime Inoue but her Nickname in the orange top's phone was 'Ditzy Top Chest', 2 from Mizuiro Kojiro, 2 from 'Chad' and Lastly 1 from Mahana Natsui.

"The hell? What did these guys want to call me nine fucking times? Ughhh better call Keigo" Ichigo exclaimed knowing he sensed a coming headache from dealing with the second known pervert from Karakura High, pulling the phone close to his ear obviously hearing the beeps then a click to show that it connected.

"HELLLLLLLOOOOOOO ICHIGOOOOOOO!-" a loud voice boomed through the line which already gave Ichigo a migraine from the volume only to be cut off "stop, Kaigo, why were you and the others blowing my phone up? I was taking a nap from a long day at work"

"Oh riiiiight, you work for that creepy pedophile who owns the candy shop" Kaigo said while simultaneously roasting Kisuke on which Ichigo snorted in amusement as Kisuke can be labeled that every so often "anyway, a lot of us knows you never check your school email so we decided when we've read it, we'd tell you starting with Chad wanting to break the ice but no one could get a hold of you so knowing you'd call me about the news."

Ichigo groaned a bit as he rubbed a hand but knew it was true "alright alright, now what's the news that got all of you to try and wake me up when it's just past 10pm" "alright!" Kaigo's voice sounded off even Ichigo feels the excitement through the line "dude, we are getting a foreign exchange student!" Now this got Ichigo to stop yawning now feeling very curious.

"From where?" The Orange Head asked "from what we've read, he's exchanged with someone from our class, a uhhh....Tatsuo Momohara. This new guy is exchanged by someone from The United Kingdom. No one knows what he looks like or even his name" "when will he get here?" Kaigo stopped momentarily as to reread the Email before speaking again "from what I'm looking at, he will arrive to class on Monday but he will have to settle in with the family he will be bunking with during his stay so I say he'd be here earlier than that.

"Thanks for the heads up kaigo, so should we do the blackjack initiation for him?" Orange Top suggested since the 'Initiation' was a harsh game of blackjack but it's a good way for new students to be welcomed into Karakura High "damn right, you're the dealer?" "I'll prep my cards"

And after that informative conversation had come to an end had promoted Ichigo to shut the line down then toss the phone on the bed while in obvious thought 'an exchange student close to the end of the year? Why in Karakura? We don't usually take exchange students unless someone is pulling the strings...hmm, this English Man...just what is he REALLY doing in karakura?' Ichigo's train of thought was moving so fast that he didn't sense a black cat sitting on his windowsill watching with amusement.

The Cat snorted then spoke up causing Ichigo to flinch at the sudden noise "what's got you in a deep-" "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Ichigo shouted in fear so loudly that it's almost borderline girly "I-ichi...dammit Ichigo! Shut up!" "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The scream turned girly as Ichigo jumped off his bed before stopping to rationalize the talking cat as his feline master.

Ichigo pants heavily before looking over at the black cat who sat on his bed "oh, it's just you Yoruichi-Sensei. What are you doing?" "Currently wondering how you managed to scream at such a high pitch, you nearly matched Mariah Carey..." Yoruichi commented with a chuckle only to see the scowl on his face.

"Alright Sensei, speak your piece then get out" Ichigo said with disdain as the scream had given him a literal headache especially from the girlish volume "why you!! Do I need to teach you to respect your teacher!? NYYYYAAAAAAA!!" Yoruichi hissed like a cat and jumped at the orange man, she gripped onto ichigo's face to start slashing him with her kitty claws "AHHHHH-OW-OWOW-AHHHH YOU CRAZY BITCH!" Ichigo exclaimed while running around trying to get the crazy Werecat off of his face.

Yoruichi let's go to jump back onto the bed to look at her work of many cat claw scratches on the swordsmen face with dripping blood from cutting to deep though she chuckled when Ichigo just glared while returning to his seat almost unbothered by his cat wounds.

"Alright, now that I have taught you some manners. Time to tell you why I'm here" The Black Cat got to the point but giggled for a moment at the orange tops scowling face then continued "alright Ichigo, from this point forward. You'll need to be careful" the boy raised an eyebrow curious on why the flash queen herself would be asking HIM to be careful which meant something serious was happening.

"Why?" Ichigo asked as he needs to have a clear understanding about the situation which the black cat nodded solemnly "they started getting suspicious of a rogue reaper operating within karakura since the soul reaper assigned was killed, by you, then the sightings of hollows kept to there new time low which tipped them off to there current theory so my spy in the soul society has informed me that they will be sending two of the captains to investigate"

Ichigo remained silent and listened intently before thinking to himself 'a Captain? From what Kisuke has told me. Captains are one of the strongest of the soul society who have immense combat and tactical prowess but they are also the only ones who possess a Zanpakuto's Second Release...if I got into a fight with them, I think I'll have to be forced to rely more on Megami then I usually do' Ichigo finished with his internal thoughts then to ask a question "who are they sending?" Maybe if he knew who they sent, he could develop a plan to deal with them.

"Toshiro Hitsugaya, Captain of Squad 10 and constantly hailed as the Child Prodigy who's spiritual energy already eclipsed most seated officers by the time he graduated from the reaper academy. You must beware of his Zanpakuto 'Hyorinmaru' as it's considered the strongest Ice Zanpakuto in the whole society. If at all possible. Do NOT engage Captain Hitsugaya in a fight." Yoruichi exclaimed with full seriousness as she had done her research.

Ichigo slowly nodded as he knew this would mean trouble for him but he needed to know "so who is the next captain?" He asked hoping to forge a plan when it comes to dealing with them if he has no choice which Yoruichi looked worried for a split second before speaking "Shunsui Kyoraku, don't let this mans kind exterior fool you, he's almost as crafty as Kisuke and his Zanpakuto is no slouch, he's highly intelligent and greatly unpredictable. His zanpakuto's special ability is capable of turning games into reality, it's highly powerful so You must NOT fight him alone, he's already dangerous as is"

Ichigo remained silent for the time before nodding at his feline teacher "right, so long as Captain Hitsugaya or Captain Kyoraku doesn't get too close to my operations then I have no reason to involve myself with them" Yoruichi nodded the turning around to jump onto the windowsill before turning her head to face her student "I'm serious Ichigo, lay low. At Least till the Captain's has returned to the soul society" Yoruichi said then jumped out the window prompting the orange top to sigh as he sat down on his bed.

'First a Mysterious Foriegn Exchange student, now a Soul Reaper Captain is investigating the town...what else could possibly be happening? Bah, I need more sleep' Ichigo thinks before slowly putting himself back on his bed closing his eyes "Master, I think you should take these matters more seriously. It's possible that Aizen has made his move" the voice in Ichigo's head had called out which orange top opened his eyes to think of that possibility but from what Ichigo learned about Aizen through Kisuke, this was a very subtle move. Possibly to learn that someone within the world of the living has claimed what the Traitorous Captain has wanted.

"That's a possibility but Aizen doesn't operate on rumors so he would dismiss these rumors as a powerful human, finding no interest in rumors which means we are potentially in the clear from him. So until we know for sure, we will treat these matters as coincidence" Ichigo said as he laid back down to stare at the dark ceiling, contemplating his inner voices words as this could be possible since the orange top only heard stories about Sosuke Aizen from Kisuke and Yoruichi.

Ichigo slowly closes his eyes returning to the dreamscape but with concerns of the future present on his mind.

-Location: Somewhere in Karakura Town-

Four figures which two were wearing basic black shihakusho while two namely a young looking with a four prong guard sword located on his back that was located over the mans white coat and the other man who had a straw hat with a pink flower kimono located over his white coat.

All four of them were surrounding a man who was naked and heavily bruised, battered and almost looked like he was placed in a electric grinder.

"Hollows?" The young looking man shifted his turquoise eyes towards his fellow equal who merely stared down the naked heavily battered and near blended body of a reaper "unfortunately Captain Hitsugaya...this isn't the work of a Hollow since they would've eaten him. This was the work of a highly skilled or rage induced fighter especially with a sword" the pink kimono man exclaimed tipping his straw hat covering his eyes to hide his brief flash of anger.

The woman with the bright orange hair spoke her thoughts "could it be a rogue reaper captain?" Hitsugaya narrowed his eyes at the blended man as to find that his lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto had a point "you may have a point Rangiku, someone with a grudge with the soul society that's hiding here?" Toshiro spoke his thoughts looking over to the straw hat reaper.

"That wouldn't be surprising Captain Hitsugaya, the soul society has made it's enemies throughout its existence so we can't really dismiss it" another woman who had her hair tied up and had glasses, she was Nanao Ise also known as the lieutenant to the kimono captain "agreed Nanao-Chan, but we need to find this rogue as soon as we can otherwise we will be putting other unsuspecting reapers in grave danger here"

"Right, but where do we start?" Toshiro asked Shunsui curiously while he just tapped his chin to think up a plan "firstly, we need to figure out just what we are dealing with so we need to consult a specialist" "who would that be?" The Ice Captain just stared like Kyoraku was bonkers only for him to grin back "I know just the guy, follow me" He said before flashstepping away on which Nanao followed as swift.

"Ohhhh, so much to do" the orange haired woman complained only to flinch at her captain's icy glare "come on rangiku, this is a highly dangerous situation, The man murdered was a high seated officer which means that his attacker was stronger. And that is highly concerning and dangerous to the soul society so we must either capture or kill the attacker now move your lazy buns" Toshiro berated his lieutenant before disappearing and following after Shunsui and Nanao.

The Heavy Chested Woman just sighed and followed behind her captain, obviously bored of his whole ordeal but knew it was a serious matter that needed to be dealt with otherwise it would prove dangerous.

Four Figures appeared in front of the Urahara Candy Shop on which got Toshiro to look highly suspicious "what is this place?" He asked the kimono captain who didn't say anything but just walked towards the door to knock three times with force, Lieutenant Ise looked over to Toshiro who stared at Shunsui with an annoyed look "sorry captain, the man who owns this business belonged to an exiled reaper on suspect of varies charges but since escaping into the world of the living, we often seek his help concerning various matters like this"

Toshiro had a twitch to his eye as he wondered why didn't they bring this exile in for these charges, questions to ask the head captain for later "ok..." The Ice Captain agreed slowly before his eyes returned back to Shunsui who knocked three more times on the door "Captain Kyoraku? Don't you think this contact is asleep? It is close to 11 sir" The Lazy Lieutenant informed Shunsui who frowned but knew about this "alright, we come back here in the morning, hopefully he will be awake. Let's find a hotel" The Drunkard exclaimed leaving the area walking with the other three behind him.

On top of the candy shop is where a green jacketed man with a green striped hat watches the four reapers walk away with a cautious view 'it seems that they finally bit off more than they can chew..., but I wonder what is happening that would warrant an investigation when they have their own problems such as the Bounts finally coming together and the Zanpakuto Spirit Muramasa is planning his move, hmmmm. Should I get involved? Or maybe I should let Ichigo? What to do, what to do...I'll sleep on it'

-Location: Karakura Town, Kurosaki Clinic-

*Beep*

*Beep*

*Beep*

Ichigo's eyes slowly opened once again to find his room now shined with the dawning sun but the usually calming sight did not deterred the orange top from his current thoughts but slowly got up to stretch his arms groaning a bit then looked down to see he had slept in his school out which Ichigo tends to sweat a lot, so it was wet and dirty.

"Dammit it to fucking hell...ughhhhhh! I need to find an outfit for today but what to wear?" Ichigo talked to himself as he got up to open his closet to find outfits you'd NEVER expect a man who depicts himself as an asshole towards tons of people, to have these sorts of outfits.

"Hmm, Formal Tux? No, Sailor Moon Galaxia? No, Sharky the Shark Furry? No, Soul Reaper Shihakusho? No, Dragon Ball Z Saiyen Battle Armor? No..." Ichigo listed off just some of the wierd outfits he has before pulling out the shark furry suit and sighed knowing he's going to get a lot of shit from the teachers today "alright sharky...let's go" Orange top said as he slowly button up his shirt as to take it off, not really ready for the day ahead.

Taiyo no Megami: Sun Goddess

Now you're wondering what I had planned for ichigo's Zanpakuto and I had been going through a number of Zanpakuto even changing it even after the first chapter with this one solidifying what I had planned and must stick with it.

Now most of you are probably going to be thinking that Ichigo is going to be an enemy of the soul society but that's far from the truth...maybe closer, in truth. As the saying goes 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'
