Hi, this is my very first fic, so don’t worry to be cruel. This is a total re-write of Ichigo and the group and their adventures. I’ve changed the Soul society to like our world. They still go to school, get hungry and eat food. The land is divided into 75% the world is regular spirits and the rest are shinigami.

To become a shinigami, you must go threw 12 years of shinigami grade school where you primarily study Hakou spells, which are basic spells that pretty much anyone can do.

After that, you go through 5 years of the actual shinigami academy, where you learn to fight hollows, and learn Hadou and Bakudo spells which is the second level of demon magic. These are powerful spells, most based on ways to improve your chances of winning.

After that, if you graduate you are able to join the Gotei 13. From there to rank up if you want to be captain level. They are 3 ways of becoming of a captain. First way is to simply defeat the current captain in a death match which must have at least 200 of the division’s members as a witness. Second, you go under 3 tests by at least 5 of the current captains of the gotei. Lastly, if a captain has committed an extreme sin, or died in battle, you are eligible to try to become a captain, but you must recommended by at least 5 of the captains.

Even though, no matter what method you take to become captain, there is a thing that is mandatory. You must create your own Destructive Art spell (DAS). These are the highest and most powerful spells, which can only be created by a person at captain level. Currently, there are exactly 99 DAS, created by all the captains, even by the great Zaraki Kenpachi.

Ugh, sorry I blabbered forever, but I didn’t want anyone getting confused, so here it is…


The Ultimate Captain

Chapter 1: Kurosaki Ichigo and the resolve…

It was another normal day at Makubusho SGS (Shinigami grade school). The sun was shining over the extremely large city of Makubusho. A boy with messy orange hair was seating in his usual seat staring out the window while his teacher was lecturing the class on a spell. Ichigo wasn’t exactly a perfect student, cause of his constant daydreaming. Suddenly a ruler smacked Ichigo’s desk grabbing his attention. He looked up to see his teacher staring at him, which her old grey eyes.

“Kurosaki Ichigo! You are in the ninth year of SGS, yet you act like this is your second year! Shape up, the year is almost over,” the old woman yelled.

“Gomen…” Ichigo said. The teacher walked away and continued the lesson. She was right though, there was only 2 months left in the year.

Later, class ended and Ichigo walked home with his friend Kari. She was his friend for a long time, ever since they were probably in their second year. She was a little shorter than Ichigo, but he was a tall guy anyway standing 6 feet tall. She had long blonde hair, which was tied back with a big red bow.

“So how was your day Kurosaki-kun?” she asked with a gentle smile on her face.

“Sucked. Anyways are you going anywhere for the summer?” he asked.

“Yes, I got a conference right after school is over, then I have to go visit my daddy,” she answered.

Ichigo slapped his head. “Damn you Ms. Kuchiki Kari. Also, you just had to be a genius memorizing all the Hakou and Hadou spells out there. You’ve skipped ahead to the final SGS year, leaving with this crappy school,” he complained.

“I’m sorry…” she said with a sad look on her face.

“Ah, don’t cry. It’s my fault for not being as smart as you,” he said feeling a little guilty. “Anyways, you want to meet at Makubusho park tonight?” he asked.

“Umm…sure. Pick me up at seven, okay?” she instructed.

“Yes Ms. Kuchiki!” he said putting his hand over his head saluting.

Kari giggled and they went different ways.

Ichigo got home and headed upstairs but then suddenly, a middle aged man jumped out from the corner and attempted to punch Ichigo. Luckily, Ichigo was a skilled fighter, and had awesome reflexes, letting him easily dodge the punch, and hold the man in a headlock.

“What the hell is wrong with you dad! Why are you trying to kill your own son?!” Ichigo yelled out.

“Because my own son is growing up, seeing how he asked his best friend out on a date! Just seeing if you’re really a man now!” he answered only to receive a punch in the face.

“First of all, don’t talk like I’m not here. Second of all, it’s not a date! We’re just frien-wait a second…How do you know about that?” he asked but then noticed the man was gone. Ichigo looked around the corner of the hallway to see the man run towards his room.

“You friggen bastard! You were following me?! THAT’S IT; YOU ARE GOING TO DIE TODAY!” Ichigo threatened.

While intense fighting was occurring upstairs, two girls were sitting on the couch watching TV.

“Why is Onii-chan fighting now?” the little girl with butter-scotch colored hair asked.

“Who cares…Naruto is on!” the second girl with black hair under a red cap answered.

Later…

Ichigo was getting dressed for his meeting with Kari. He wore a white shirt that said ‘vibe’ on it, and wore a large white coat over it that said ‘Ichigo’ on it. He headed for the door, but the father intersected.

“Don’t forget these!” he said pulling out condoms.

“WHAT THE ****?! I don’t want those!” Ichigo yelled.

“Then use these,” the man said offering red colored condoms.

“Wait, why do you have these anyways?” Ichigo asked starting to get mad.

“Enjoy your date!” the father said pushing Ichigo out the door.

“KUROSAKI ISSHIN, I WILL KILL YOU!” Ichigo yelled out.

Anyways, Ichigo soon arrived at Kari’s house. He knocked on the door, and waited for someone to open it. The door opened to reveal a middle aged woman, with blue eyes that matched Kari’s.

“Oh, hello Ichigo. Come in, Kari will be ready in a minute,” she said.

“Thanks Hisana-san,” Ichigo thanked.

Soon Kari came down, and greeted Ichigo. She was wearing a pink shirt that said ‘HOTT’ on it with a short black jacket on over it.

“Okay, let’s go,” she said softly.

“Alright,” Ichigo agreed.

At the park…

They walked through the park together talking about stuff. They decided to take a break and both sat on bench.

“Haha, really? He sounds desperate,” she laughed out at Ichigo’s comment.

“No, I’m serious! That idiot was really checking my teacher out! I just gave him a weird look,” Ichigo said laughing.

Both just kept laughing, and noticed that it was getting dark. They decided to start heading home.

“So you’ll be at your dad’s place all summer?” Ichigo asked.

“Yep, I really miss him,” she commented. “I don’t get to see him a lot.”

Suddenly there was a weird rumbling sound. Ichigo and Kari turned around to see what could be making that racket. Suddenly a huge monster appeared and smashed Ichigo, sending him flying into a wall. Kari was terrified, seeing Ichigo unconscious on the floor.

The monster was about 20 feet tall at least. It looked like an ogre with a big white mask on. The monster then faced Kari with its tongue sticking out. “Your soul looks tasty. Let me devour you!” it yelled going in for the kill.

Just as it was about to eat her, a man in black robes appeared kicking the monster’s head, injuring it. Kari was scared, and surprised to see her rescuer.

“You’re a shinigami…” she shuddered. The bald man turned around to see the girl.

“Yeah I am. Hey wait a second, aren’t you that little Kuchiki kid?” the bald man asked.

“Yes I am. Oh my gosh, you are Madarame Ikkaku, 3rd seat of the 11th division!” she yelled out.

“That’s me!” he said with a proud tone.

Suddenly the hollow appeared again and quickly punched Ikkaku right through a brick wall. Kari was amazed by the monster’s speed. “Wait, if it could get a 3rd seat off guard…it must be a…

Before she could finish, the hollow grabbed her and was bringing her closer to its mouth. Ichigo slowly got up, unable to move his arms. His head was bleeding and left arm felt like it snapped in two.

“Kari! No!” he yelled. He was helpless. He couldn’t do anything but watch. Ichigo tried to move, but he legs were unable.

“ I Have to save her! I have to! ” he thought to himself.

“Ichigo…” a voice called out.

Ichigo was confused. It seemed as if time had stopped. Nothing was moving, except himself.

“Ichigo, do you want to save her?” the voice asked.

“Of course!” he answered looking around for who was talking.

“I can give you the power you need to save her…” the voice explained. Suddenly a katana appeared in front of Ichigo, stuck in the ground.

“Take hold of the blade, and pull it out of the ground. If you do you will gain the strength needed to defeat the hollow. If you don’t, she will die,” the voice explained.

“I will!” Ichigo declared. Before grabbing the hilt the voice yelled out…

“Wait! There are consequences to grabbing hold of the blade. If you do, you will gain power yes, but more monsters will start seeking you soul. Are you sure that you are going to do this?” the voice asked.

“Pfft, of course I will. I will take care of myself, but right now Kari is in trouble. I will save her!” he yelled out grabbing the hilt.

Suddenly time started up again, and just as the hollow was about to devour Kari, there was a huge explosion where Ichigo was. Both the hollow and Kari turned their heads to what caused the massive blast.

The smoke cleared, and revealed Ichigo. He was wearing the same robes the other shinigami was wearing. He also had a long blade over his shoulder. It looked like a normal katana, but it was almost as long as he was.

“Hey you bastard! Come pick a fight with me!” Ichigo yelled.

The hollow then dropped Kari and ran towards Ichigo. The tried an arm swipe, but Ichigo jumped up and hacked its arm off. It then tried to stomp on him, but Ichigo easily cut its leg off before it even came down. The monster then fell on his bottom, and Ichigo jumped high in the air.

“Feel my wrath for hurting my friend!” he yelled as he came down. His blade was then covered in silver light. He came down and stabbed the blade right in the center of its mask. The monster then turned to dust.

Ichigo then walked up to Kari and put his hand out wanting to help her up.

“You okay?” he asked.

Kari just stared at Ichigo.

“Hey you bums, you forgot about me!” Ikkaku yelled out angrily.
^^^^^

One tip, You shouldn't need to provide such extensive explanations before your story. A good writer should be able to convey all the information necessary for the readers, within the story itself.

Well, here’s the second chapter, so keep reviewing^^!
----------------------------------
Chapter 2: The ropes of a shinigami
----------------------------------
It was the next day after the whole incident with the hollow. Ichigo was confused. Who was that voice he heard, and how did that voice give the power he needed to defeat the hollow? It all seemed to strange to Ichigo, but he was sure it was even more strange to Kari.

“Oi! Ichigo, you’re going to be late!” his father yelled. Quickly Ichigo ran downstairs with his usual school uniform and bag and headed for school. On the way, he saw Kari walking. He caught of with her.

“Hey…” Ichigo greeted.

“Oh, hi…” she responded.

The tension was thick. So thick, that you could cut it with a knife. There was a huge silent gap between the two.

Does she think I’m a freak? Ichigo asked himself.

“Umm Kurosaki-kun?” she started.

“Yeah?”

Kari then put her arms around Ichigo, hugging him. Ichigo was caught off guard by this, and tried looking for the right words.

“Thank you for saving me,” she slowly said. “I thought I was going die…”

“Ah, don’t thank me. Of course I would save you,” Ichigo said. “We’re friends, and I’m not going to just sit there bleeding to death, while my friend’s about to get devoured!

“But how did you transform into a shinigami?” Kari asked. “You defeated a class B hollow! That’s a very powerful hollow, yet you’re not even in the academy yet,” she explained.

“I don’t know. Someone gave the power…what’s a class B hollow?” Ichigo asked with a dumb look on his face.

Kari just slapped her head in disbelief. “You don’t know what a class B hollow is?” she asked in a demonly voice. She then grabbed Ichigo’s hand and started dragging him off.

“Oi, where are you taking me?” Ichigo asked getting scared.

“My house! Time to educate the new shinigami!” she yelled.

“Huh? Don’t we have school?” he asked.

“Forget that! Let’s go!” she said.

At Kari’s house…

She dragged Ichigo up to her room, and threw him on the bed. She then walked into her closet.

“What the hell is she doing in there? And why are we alone in the house, in her bedroom? WAIT! Could it be that she’s repaying me for saving her? Are we going to have s…” Ichigo was interrupted with the closet door opening.

Ichigo turned his head to see Kari in a outfit that made her look like a teacher. She then pulled out a huge chalkboard on wheels that was in her closet.

“What’s going on?” Ichigo asked kind of disappointed.

“I’m going to teach you the ropes of being a shinigami. Being the daughter of the famous 6th division captain Kuchiki Byakuya, I know a lot about being one,” she said.

“Uh huh…” Ichigo murmured.

“Don’t act like you’re 14 years old,” Kari said.

“What?”

“YOU DON’T KNOW THE AGE DIVISIONS? ARE YOU THAT DUMB?” Kari yelled.

“No, wait I do but-

“We’ll start from the beginning!”

“No wait! I-

“SShhh, no talking during lessons. Anyways here are the age groups. Babies are considered in these ages. A baby is from the age from new born to 25years old. A child is considered through the ages from 26 to 65. A teenager is in the age group from 66-100. An adult is in the ages of 101-155, and an elder is in the ages of 156-195. Anyone with the age of 196+ are very rare, and are lucky to live that long. They say that the average person, captain or not, can only live for 185 years, 200 max. But the 1st division captain, Lord Yamamoto is about 250 years old. He has aged to the impossible, yet he is still the most powerful captain in the Gotei 13,” Kari finally finished.

She looked over too see Ichigo asleep. She calmly walked into her closet once more, and came out and smashed Ichigo’s head with a mallet.

Ichigo woke up and noticed he had a huge bump on his head. “Huh?” he said.

“Now Ichigo, how old are we?” Kari asked.

“Are you treating me like a kid?! We’re freaking 95! But are you freaking making fun of me?!” Ichigo yelled. “I aint a kid, and you better not treat me like one!”

“Of course not…” she said patting Ichigo’s head.

Later…

“So, the sword we use is called a zanpakto…and it is created from our own spirit energy…?” Ichigo asked himself while walking home. He had been at her house for about 6 hours straight learning the ropes of being a shinigami.

“Ugh, my head hurts…I wasn’t supposed to be a shinigami for another 10 years. Now I suddenly acquire the power from some dude who I haven’t even seen. My life is seriously ****ed up,” Ichigo complained.

Ichigo then heard a rumbling. It was a similar rumbling to the rumbling that occurred at the park. Ichigo knew another one was coming. It was another hollow.

Upon a roof of a nearby building stood four people, hidden in the darkness.

“A hollow is coming…” a man said.

“Should we help that little guy out?” asked a smaller person said in a cute voice.

“That’s the same guy right Ikkaku?” A huge man asked in a gruffy voice.

“Yeah that’s him. He beat a hollow that knocked me out,” Ikkaku, a shinigami from before answered.

“That kid seems way too young to be a shinigami, judging by his reiatsu. How did he beat a hollow that knocked you out?” a man with feathers coming out of his right eye asked.

“He’s right. That guy has absolutely almost no reiatsu at all. Much too low, even for a weak shinigami,” the large man said once more.

“Well, that’s him. Hey look, the hollow is here,” Ikkaku stated.

Ichigo jumped to side as a hollow appeared from the ground. It was a large centipede, with a white mask, just like the hollow from before.

“Okay, how do I become a shinigami now…?” Ichigo asked him.

The hollow came in for an attack, but Ichigo jumped out of the way. It tried lashing Ichigo with it’s tail, but Ichigo jumped right over it. Ichigo was getting worried. Without his zanpakto, he can’t kill it. But then Ichigo then remembered something that Kari had taught him that day.

Flashback

“One important thing about being a shinigami, is concentration and focus. To ultimately use your powers to their full potential, you need to concentrate on your power,” she said.

End of flashback

“Concentrate…” Ichigo said softly, while closing his eyes. He stood there totally blocking out every other distraction.

“What’s he doing?” Ikkaku asked himself.

“Can’t you feel it?” the large man asked. “Hid reiatsu is rising like mad,” he said.

A large and strong wind picked up. Ichigo’s body began to glow in a white aura. Suddenly the glowing and wind stopped, but then a there was a massive explosion.

The smoke cleared to reveal Ichigo, in his shinigami robes, with his long blade over his shoulder.

“Come and get me you ugly freak,” Ichigo said, releasing heavy wind.

“This isn’t normal wind. This is reiatsu, just not visible. Last time he showed off reiatsu that I was able to see and feel it. Reiatsu wind is just something you can feel, but supposed to weaker than visible reiatsu. But this is higher than the spiritual pressure he released last time,” Ikkaku commented.

“Reiatsu is only visible when a lot is released, but this is pretty high power. It is even higher than yours Ikkaku,” the large man commented.

“Yeah, you’re right. It’s slightly higher than even mine,” Ikkaku agreed.

Ichigo jumped high and cut off one of the hollow’s hundred legs. The hollow just let out a roar, then went in for the attack. Ichigo jumped on top if its head, and ran on its large body, maintaining perfect balance, not falling.

“He’s toying with it. He could’ve killed it when he jumped on its head, but he wants it tortured,” the large man said with a scary smile on his face. “I like his style,”

Ichigo, still running on the beast’s body, jumped right before the hollow ate him, making it chomp on its own body. Ichigo then landed on the ground then pointed his blade towards the monster. Blue power engulfed the blade, and suddenly, it blasted out a huge blast at the hollow.

The hollow was utterly destroyed, and Ichigo turned back to his regular clothes. He thought he sensed something else, but the saw nothing, so he headed home.

“That blast was crazy!” Ikkaku yelled out.

“Pretty colour…” the little girl said.

At the sight of that blast, the large man’s grin got bigger, and more maniacal and thought “It wasn’t just crazy…It was at a high level. Almost captain level…

I think this chapter was a bit rushed, but... I will make the next chapter even better!

Well, rushed, and you did not explain in what state was Ichigo's Zanpaku-to had. Was it ShiKai? Or is it that in your story, there is no ShiKai and BanKai? If not, then you should have added it in Kari's explanation. If there is, tell us the name of the blade. And what Hollow is insane enough to go into Soul-Society? Your explanation of your world of Bleach was a bit off. Add it into your story. Last but not least, that age thing seems a bit off. You make the SHinigami sound like long lived humans. So far as we know, Shinigami's never die or age.
