Chapter 7
Please Read 1st!
Okay, so maybe I am as disorganized in writing as I am in life. In an attempt at alleviating the confusion here are some notes.
1.) Chapters 1-3 are a type of prologue. They happen in the present/future and at this point Ichigo and Orihime have been in Los Noches for approximately 8 months.
2.) Chapter 4 and on is the past leading to the present time.
3.) The journal entries are from when Ichigo first came to Los Noches(is it Los or Las I have seen it both ways?)and detailing (well kind of) his experiences and emotions as he attempts to recover his memories and is forming a new bond with Aizen. No they are not going to go into detail about everything or everyday but they are chronological.
4.) I know, I know, skipping about in time makes things difficult but please bear with me. This was the only way I knew how to get everything I wanted in there without making it more confusing or just a jumbled mess. Would making every other chapter a journal entry instead have been easier?
5.) Okay, quick recap:
a) Ichigo is in Las Noches w/Orihime (In present/future)
b) It all started w/Ichigo going off to face Aizen alone (approx. a year before first chap.) and is put under hypnosis.
c) They (Soul Society and friends) try to help Ichigo get over the hypnosis he is under.
d) Mayuri Kurotsuchi is extremely persistent in what he wants and is suspected of replacing Ichigo w/clone.
e) AND NOW ONTO THE STORY! Oh and if it is still confusing just ask and I will try to clear everything up.
Due to lack of information, the fourth division captain did not feel that it was wise to destroy this Ichigo “clone”. The feel of reiatsu within the body made her question whether or not it was connected in some manner to the boy. To test all of her theories she would need Urahara Kisuke.
She made plans to travel to the real world when Ichigo’s body was transferred to the care of his father. Unohana knew that everyone on earth had been made aware of Isshin’s certainty that this was not Ichigo. Everyone being Ichigo’s friends, the former twelfth division captain, Shihoin Yoruichi, and the shinigami team stationed in Karakura. All of them have expressed the willingness to help when Ichigo was found.
She informed the captain commander of her intentions to investigate and then as a back-up of sorts she informed Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jyushiro of her suspicions. The two promised to keep an eye out and see what they can find out themselves.
… … … …
“Well it is conclusive. This is just a well made clone. Unfortunately, if we destroy it, we may face notifying Kurotsuchi that we have found him out. The readings on the reiatsu show that it may indeed be tied to Kurosaki-kun. I suspect that if Ichigo died the clone would “die” as well so he may just be alive.” Urahara lowered his head and a hand brought his signature hat lower.
“So then does the opposite also apply? I mean if the clone dies or is killed will Kurosaki be affected?” Ishida asked.
“No, I believe that the clone is just a receptor of sorts. The reiatsu it gives off is an echo, if you will, of Kurosaki’s own.”
“Since we now know that Ichigo is out there somewhere, and that the only one who could have taken him is freaky taicho, we can tell the Captain Commander!” Renji enthusiastically cried. “We’ll bust him out and kick Kurotsuchi’s ass.”
Unohana sighed.
“Unfortunately Abarai-kun, that is not possible. The moment we found out, I sent a message to the Sou-taicho. He specifically stated that we cannot lose another captain at this time and that ‘ass kicking’ is not allowed. He will be dealt with after the war.”
Cries of astonishment and fury echoed through the room.
“Please calm down.” Unohana said in her calm demeanor but with that scary look in her eye. Everyone just froze. “Though we may not harm Kurotsuchi-taicho, Yamamoto Sou-taicho has informed me that he will schedule an attack readiness drill of sorts in a few days. The captains, lieutenants and seated officers, excluding those in the real world are required to participate. This should empty the division of anyone who can truly be a hindrance to retrieving Kurosaki-kun.”
“Kurotsuchi is not the most sane of scientists,” snickers and a ‘no duh’ was heard, “and can be quite paranoid. We have to plan carefully to rescue Ichigo. If Mayuri did not make too many significant changes to the labs, I know a few ways to get in. Unfortunately, those entrances may not be secret anymore and may just be full of traps.”
Urahara pulled a map seemingly out of nowhere.
“Ukitake-taicho has found someone to help us disable the alarms temporarily. Rin can shut down the alarms for ten minutes. The alarm will be reset after that and will be disabled again in an hour. The labs are huge so study the map carefully. Like I said, you only have an hour to find him and get out.”
Everyone paired up and divided the areas they would search.
“Um...I don’t have a partner.” Inoue said.
They all looked at each other, then at her.
“Inoue-san, we would be more comfortable if you waited and got ready to heal Ichigo when we bring him back.” Ishida said.
“Oh…I guess.” She looked a bit sad. “Just bring him back, okay?”
They all agreed.
… … …
Inoue Orihime was not happy at all. Although her usually happy-go-lucky self would not allow for arguing, she could and she would help Ichigo.
Rushing home after all the plans were set, she grabbed up a box that she normally kept high up on a shelf and rushed back out. Hitsugaya taicho and Matsumoto Rangiku would arrive soon and for what she planned, an audience was out of the question.
When she reached the room in the abandoned building that she and Chad first trained in, she set the box down on a crate.
This box held all her treasures. There was a pressed flower from when she was younger that her brother had given her, a few jewelry items, some pictures and a glass jar that had something that looked like sand in it.
It was the jar that she pulled out.
The container was not much bigger than a baby food jar and held about a handful of an ashy sand-like substance. Pouring the sand out onto the concrete floor, she clasped her hands together and gave a quick prayer.
“Sôten Kishun, I reject.” Shun’o and Ayame flew out, creating their healing shield.
“Please, please, please…” Inoue chanted softly as she put all her heart into what she was doing.
She woke up as the sun shone into the room. Opening her eyes, she was met with bright green ones right in front of her. Letting out a screech, Orihime fell back in surprise.
“Woman, why did you bring me back?”
She then threw herself at the surprised espada.
“It worked! It worked!”

(Ichigo’s Journal – approximately 4 months in Las Noches)
After that day with Aizen, things felt better, lighter. I still had those episodes where I did not remember but he is always there to help me through them.
I still see that girl from the first day…her name is Inoue, I think. She comes to visit me sometimes but she’s never alone. The one who comes with her, I feel I should know but it doesn’t bother me enough to ask. He always stares though, like he never blinks. It gives me the creeps to have those green eyes looking at me. I try to ignore him as best I can.
Talking with Inoue is difficult. I can only just sit there and listen in amazement. She talks about fantastic, as in unbelievable or weird, things.
Once she told me about a picture she made of a future self in which she was a robot and could shoot rockets and…. Well let’s just say that I couldn’t really follow what she was going on about.
Sometimes it makes me dizzy just being near her.
…
Aizen has asked me to call him Sousuke. I like that. There are days he still creeps me out with that serene smile he uses but that’s okay. He is always here. I can accept his ways, after all, he’s accepted me as I am.
I can tell I’m rambling and not making much sense right now. I think I’ll go take a nap.
