There’s many questions you have for him, and you want them all answered. You increase the intensity of your stare, making sure to search your father’s expressions to you questions and answers to make sure he isn’t hiding anything.

“Do you know what happened to me? And what was that monster I saw, with the hole in its chest that wore a mask? How exactly are you involved in all of this?!”

Slamming you hands down on your knees, you grit your teeth and endure the pain it brings you. No, that isn’t the only question, there’s also one more important one.

“And, why, if you can‘t see spirits in the first place, does it seem like you know something about what’s going on?!”

Your sisters are staring at you, eyes wide, and Rukia is looking at you with something akin to pity. But in your father’s face, you only see the things beneath his stern persona: Guilt, sorrow and regret.

Folding his hands together, he closes his eyes and seems to collect himself. He refuses to look directly at Yuzu or Karin, staring you directly in the eyes.

“I can’t tell you everything as I don’t know all the details, but I can tell you that most of what has happened in my story is the work of one man, Aizen Sosuke. As for how I got involved, it was when I met your mother, Kurosaki Masaki, when she was in high school. Back then, I was Shiba Isshin, Captain of the 10th squad in the Soul Society’s 13 Court Guard.

“A Shinigami.”

At you and your sister’s questioning looks, your father elaborates. “Shinigami are spirit who possess weapons known as Zanpakuto who help spirits pass on and dispatch hollows.”

Before you can even question him about what those are, he holds up a hand. “Hollows are spirits whose chain of fates have broken and transform into monster who hunger for the souls of the living or those who have yet to pass on.

“Anyway, I was out investigating some mysterious deaths that had been occurring to shinigami. They occurred only on nights that were raining. So, I waited for the culprit.

“What appeared before me was a hollow unlike any other I’d seen. It was clad in the blackest armor and had a closed hole. But, when I fought it, it felt more like I was fighting another shinigami. But as I fought it, I was attacked in secret by the one who had created, concealed and unleashed this monstrosity.

The wound was quite severe, and it looked like it had me on the ropes, when she intervened. Your mother, Kurosaki Masaki, was a human capable of using spiritual powers, they’re better known as Quincies. She let the thing bite her to be able to kill it, but it tried to take her with it. I stepped in and blocked it self-destructive final attack.

You may want to indicate thread number Cosgrove.

Also, look out canon, we're going in dry!

“Your mother walked up to my injured body, nervous and fearful, and introduced herself to me. It ahd been the first time I’d met a Quincy, let alone such a cute girl, so naturally, I responded happily in return and introduced myself. Mind you, there’s a long and nasty history between Shinigami and Quincy.

“That’s why, when I returned and announced the destruction of this hollow, I completely omitted her from the story to protect her. She was quite brave, and I couldn’t help but want to meet her again and thank her.

However, that hollow left a nasty final surprise for her. When next I met her, she was in the arms of a friend, suffering as she began to painfully transform into a hollow. As her friend and I were about to come to blows over whose fault her state was, a man named Urahara Kisuke stepped in.

“He has been expelled from Soul Society, but he’d been researching the condition she was suffering from, known as hollowification, for one hundred years. He couldn’t return her back to normal, but her could save her life. Something was needed to be inserted to counterbalance the hollow’s intrusion that was killing her.

“The cure would have to be strong though, something that would stay close to her until she died to keep on blocking hollowification. The opposite of humans are hollows an the opposites of Shinigami are Quincies.

“He gave me the option to save he by entering a special shell that would make it almost entirely like a human body, somewhere between shinigami and human.Being in the shell would remove my shinigami powers, with the chance I could never be a shinigami again.”

“He would tie our souls together with a reishi ring, which so long as it’s connected will never allow me to leave the shell.”

Staring at you, your father smiles. “Naturally, I agreed immediately. Urahara asked me if I had any regrets, to try to dissuade me, but if I had let the one who saved me die just because of some regrets, I’d always be ashamed of myself.

“As for me, I used medicine, the only helpful thing I’d studied at the academy, to open a small clinic. I still had many things to learn, but thank’s to Urahara’s help things worked out. You mother, soon a university student, often came to me to laugh at my white robes. I told her that I lost my powers because of a blunder and was exiled from Soul Society, but I think she knew I was lying.”

Your father rested his chin on his arm, looking upward with a nostalgic smile. “Apparently I sucked at lying… and she was really smart. But, to us, that wasn’t important and weather or not that was a lie wasn’t important. I had the feeling that, in front of her, any lie was useless. She’d see right through them and she’d forgive them.

“She was definitely like the sun. She attracted, forgave, illuminated anything, and controlled it as she liked. I was just happy to be in her mercy. And then…

“You were born.”

Your father trails off, looking at you. Leaving the room silent as the grace.

>[X]"You mentioned someone names Aizen. Who is he and how does he fit into this?"
>[X] “Does that mean I’m partially all of those things?!
>[X]”What About mom?!”

You sit there in stunned silence as you try to process his story. Karin and Yuzu seem a little lost, but are looking between you and your father worriedly. If that story was true…

“Then how the hell did mom die?! You said she was this ‘Quincy’ thing and was able to kill those hollow monsters. So, then, how the hell did she die?!”

Your father looks away awkwardly, not meeting your eyes. “That day, she wasn’t supposed to have died. Quincies possess an ability called blut that raises their skills tremendously. However, that day she lost her powers, somehow.”

“So, what does that, mean? You’re a shinigami, she was part hollow and a Quincy. Does that mean we’re all partially those things? Me, Karin and Yuzu?”

Not giving a moment for him to compose himself, you continue on. “And you mentioned some guy named Aizen as the one behind it, who the hell is he?”

You feel a tug on your arm and you see Yuzu look up at you, slightly frightened. “Ichi-nii, please don’t be so angry. Give dad a chance to answer.” Letting out a sigh, you turn back towards your father who looks pensive.

“Honestly, Ichigo, I’m not sure of that. I’m not an expert on these things like Urahara is. You should take your shinigami friend there to him tomorrow, he might be able to explain things better, especially about Aizen. However, do not underestimate him, he‘s not an enemy to underestimate.”

Getting up, your dad stretches and yawns. “I have to work tomorrow and you all have school. If you want to continue discussing things, it can wait until tomorrow. If your shinigami friend there wants to stay here, she can sleep on the couch.”

As he walks off, taking Karin and Yuzu with him, you notice Rukia is sitting there on the couch, staring at the spot your father sat disbelievingly.

>[X] Talk to Rukia

Staring closely at the Shinigami, it seems that there’s something seriously bothering her. She seems to notice your staring and locks eyes with you. “What is it?”

“Are you alright?”

Your question seems to shock her and she looks away. “Yeah, there’s a lot to take in here. I’d want to say I don’t believe it…”

She clutches at her sleeves. “However, there’s too many things that your father said that don’t make sense if he isn’t telling the truth. Especially his name, Shiba Isshin. I’d heard of him and that he disappeared, but I’ve never met the man, especially not after…”

Trailing off, she looks back at you. “I need to get to the bottom of this, especially if your father’s accusations of Captain Aizen are true. If they are-”

There’s a look in her eyes that screams of deadly intent. “I’ll make sure he pays for his crimes.”

As you try to suppress a yawn, Rukia’s expression softens. “Look, you’re tired, so you should go to bed. Don’t worry, I’m not going to rush off and report you and your family to Soul Society. I’ll wait here and take you with me to get answers from this Urahara person tomorrow. Until then, don’t do anything stupid and stay clear of any hollows, got it?”

Her voice takes on a no-nonsense tone near the end. Getting up, you pause and look at Rukia. “Should I get you a change of clothes?”

Raising an eyebrow, she gives a sarcastic sneer. “Yeah, those would be really helpful to a spirit. I’ll be fine. Go on.” She dismisses you with a waving gesture.

You get up as if you’re going to leave, but head towards the laundry room and grab a clean towel. Holding it in you hands you drop it on her head, where it passes through her. Looking irritated, she grabs the towel before toweling her head off and sitting it below her.

While she’s not happy with you, she’s also no longer getting your house wet. As you return to your chair, she watches you intently. “What is it you want?”

.“I’d like to ask you a few questions, if you don’t mind.”

Raising an eyebrow, she gestures for you to continue.

“Well, goat-chin there explained what shinigami and hollows were, basically. But he sorta glossed over Quincies. What’s the story with them? Also, he mentioned things like the Thirteen Court Guard and Soul Society and things called Zanpakuto. What exactly are those?”

Rubbing her forehead, she lets out an exasperated sigh. “Alright, alright, fine. I’ll explain to you at little about either the Shinigami or the Quincies. But JUST one of them, and only a FEW things, got it?”

>[X] Zanpakuto

“So what are Zanpakutos anyway?”

At your question, Rukia gestures to the sword at her side. “This is my Zanpakuto. They’re the weapons that shinigami use to purify hollows. Each shinigami has a different Zanpakuto and each has a different abilities unique to them as no shinigami has the same Zanpakuto.

“As each Zanpakuto is part of the Shinigami, they each have their own names. The more a shinigami works together with their Zanpakuto, the stronger they are.”

As you listen to her, you realize you’re nodding off to sleep, but the call of sleep to your aching body is too strong to resist. When next you awake, you laying on the couch as Yuzu frantically shakes you awake.

“Ichi-nii! Get up! You’re going to be late to school!”

Satisfied by her presence, you hurriedly get ready for school and rush out the door with a piece of toast clenched in your teeth.

As you look around you see in the distance a large hampster-like Hollow staring in your direction and as you lock eyes with it, its mask splits into a foul grin before it fades into a strange mouth-like portal.

Waiting a few minutes you don’t see any other signs of it, so you cautiously make you wy to school on the lookout.

As you walk into class, you teacher gives you a stern look as an unfamiliar student stands next to her. Ochi-sensei points to your seat and you hurriedly sit down as the unfamiliar boy wearing your school’s uniform stares at you. He’s got jaw-length blonde hair with a straight cut.

Behid you, you can hear whispers, probably about your appearance, but you tune them out as Ochi-sensei addresses the class.

“Today we have a new student transferring in. Please introduce yourself.”

With a grin that shows off his upper teeth, the student seems to be staring at you as he gives a jaunty wave. “Yo, I’m Hirako Shinji. Pleased to meet you.”
