Genres: AU, Yaoi, Romance, Adventure, Humor, Action
Rating: 17+, Mature contents due to adult scenes. AKA. Sex scene between Male
Warning: Read at your own risk. This fanfiction was intended to be very incestuous due to the fact that the main pairing are Hichigo, who is Ichigo's inner hollow by which we all know was his truth power(for those that read this far into the manga, you know what I'm talking about), who also happens to be his brother and Ichigo himself. This story has a lot of error in writing due to my carelessness. And as much I had tried my best to edit out the grammars, there are bounds to be some more left.
Truth be told, I don't have a beta that can adjust to my schedule since I have a very unwise schedule between college, work, and life. But if there is anyone out there that can take Incest, Yaoi, and weird grammars then I am thankful. Please do email me.
Okay, one last thing: Do you people enjoy this fiction? What is missing? Do you mind if I create an Original Character for this fiction? If not then I will. However, if you guys and girls think that it is better without an OC then I won't create an OC character since with all the characters in the Canon, it was already too much.
Please do let me know down in the Comments box~!
All in all, please don't mind my grammars and enjoy~!

It has been almost three weeks since the three Shinigami left for Soul Society and there has been an increase of foreign reiatsu in the air that was carefully concealed. If Ichigo were to take a guess then it would be that the so-called Onmitsukidō, the Secret Mobile Unit/Corps A.K.A Special Forces or simply the Covert Ops. They were far too good at concealing their reiatsu signature that it pissed off Hichigo to no end.
It was Hichigo that found them since they are shinigami, and as a hollow who was as powerful as he was, it was easy for him to find shinigami reiatsu. And because of that, Hichigo hasn't had a chance to manifest to be with his Icchi, and that pissed him off like no other. He was far too used to being able to manifest into the living world that when he has to hide in Ichigo's inner world, he's temperament increase to a new height. It wasn't helping that Ichigo was currently ignoring him too.
Hichigo had long mastered the art of sensing others' reiatsu because Ichigo is so really bad at it. So bad that if he isn't there, Ichigo can barely contain his reiatsu. Which is something that Hichigo was more than willing to tease him with, at the expense of his own younger brother. When that happened, Ichigo would sulk and blush while totally ignoring his brother which just make Hichigo more annoying as a result, which didn't made it easier for him to hid his monstrous aura and reiatsu.
When that happened, sometimes it leads to violence from both sides and, sometimes, something completely different. Like now, for example.
Hichigo was trying and failing to get Ichigo to talk to him. He had been for the past ten hours. It wais now nearly midnight now, and Ichigo was still ignoring him.
"Ichigo~ Come' on. Ichi~ " Hichigo was and had been getting Ichigo to talk to him for the past 6 hours with no results in sight. Ichigo ignored the voice next to his ears with practical ease that comes with years of experiences.
Hichigo growled as he nipped Ichigo's ear in retaliation. Ichigo jerked away to the other side, leaving Hichigo to miss the spot and crashed into the ground.
"Why you... Ten Yoru... " Hichigo growled more and more aggressively with each minute that passed by.
Ichigo has the advantage with their argument every time since he can just make Hichigo vanish if he deemed necessary. But that's a rare possibility that had not happened frequently before since Ichigo doesn't like it when his Shin-nii isn't there with him, even if is was only into his inner world. He found it... okay fine.
He missed him okay?! Hichigo was always with him, even since he still in his mother's womb and Ichigo has a feeling that they might have been together long before that too. This explained why Ichigo throw a fit when they were born and Hichigo was separate from him.
So even now that Ichigo is avoiding Hichigo, he truly never ignored him completely. If Ichigo had somehow completely ignored Hichigo, you would know by the wild function of his reiatsu that spikes with no control at all. Which now, isn't wildly functioning like a firework, at least firework have their own sets of clear and constant movement but Ichigo's reiatsu doesn't. Is like a set of wildfires that doesn't rise nor fall but constantly goes wild with nothing but oil to fuel it.
"I-CHI-GOOO~" Hichigo growled as his reiatsu flared in anger. Ichigo eyed Hichigo from the corner of his eyes before signing out loud. Hichigo was growling and pouting at the same times as he would aggressively look at Ichigo. Any longer and Hichigo was going to snap big time.
"You reflected yet?" Ichigo asked with a glared in his eyes. Totally not letting the older Kurosaki have his way just yet.
"Hmmm. Don't ignore me again." Hichigo growled as he pulled Ichigo's hand to his and held him tightly. Hichigo bites Ichigo's neck softly and sucks there, leaving a darkish purple hickey. Ichigo's breath hitch softly as he leans back to his brother who slowly lead them toward the door that leads to the underground training right under the clinic. It has been a while (+4 days) since Hichigo last touches Ichigo fully.
Both brothers are more than eager to touch each other.
Hichigo pushes a picture on the wall away, a picture that Yuzu painted when she was in third grade out of the family, to reveal a small black pearl which Hichigo click on to opened the door. As the door opened, Hichigo also pushed the pearl back into the hole again and Sonido thru the door just as he closed to the door, all the while kissing Ichigo's nape and biting it, causing Ichigo to shiver in pleasure.
He then proceeds to take off Ichigo's clothes starting with Ichigo's muscle shirt.
Since Ichigo was doing a push-up in his room while ignoring Hichigo, he didn't have anything other than his workout clothes on. which was easy to take off. Really easily, actually.
Ichigo groaned as Hichigo bite his neck with a sneer. "Nii-san!" Ichigo moaned as he arched his back and bit his lips to stop himself from any more moaning. Hichigo smirked and licks his lips before proceeding to slowly lick Ichigo, starting from his neck, and then to his chest. By then, Ichigo was panting hard with a red blushed on his face as his body glittered in a complete kind of sweat.
Looking at the looks in Icchi's eyes, Hichigo growled as his body temperature raised higher than normal. Enough to make the surrounding area blazed in hot flames of nothing but reiatsu...
"Ichi!" Hichigo growled with a far too similar to an animal-like growled before smacking his lips to Ichigo's.
"Hmm!" Ichigo moaned as their tongue start an all too familiar war. In the end, the one that wins is always Hichigo though, who has far too many techniques that he likes to uses on Ichigo. The perv!
"Ah... Shin-nii..." Hichigo stopped at the sound from his little Icchi's mouth. Ichigo's face is red with trails of water-not really, saliva- on his chin, and was panting with his tongue still out in the open. Hichigo froze. Ichigo rarely shows his desire fully opened to him like this even if he could tell that his little otouto is more or less really -for better lack of word- promiscuous yet still so innocence, since the only one that Ichigo had ever thought of or actually have- for better lack of word- sex with was - and is - his one and only nii-san. His other half of his very soul.
"Argg!" Hichigo groaned in pain as a part of him tighten beyond believe at Ichigo's action. "Fuck! Icchi! Don't do that!" He growled before smacking his lips back to Ichigo's mouth with an intensity that nearly make the surround things, such as a drawer, bed, and small table burst into nothing with his hollow reiatsu alone.
"Mmm!" Ichigo moaned as Hichigo's tongue did something that completely make his brain die in pure pleasure. Ichigo shudders when Hichigo suddenly started to play with his chest. His whole body shivered as his hands went to Hichigo's head and started to tug it. Hichigo growled as Ichigo's hand started to do random messages to his head that makes his mind see stars.
"Ow!" Ichigo yelled as Hichigo accidentally bit his tongue, bleeding it.
"Sorry, okay?" Hichigo worried. He had never liked it when he is the one that causes Ichigo pains when they're not actually fighting and practicing their swords, or in Ichigo's case, his swords and bow. What? Didn't you know that Ichigo can use his Quincy Power? That might be because he never really let anyone know that he can use it.
"Hmm." Ichigo hummed as he pants. He is pretty used to pain from all their fights. In fact, because of Ichigo and Hichigo's fight, Ichigo is now pretty much resistance to pain on some level. But then again, the tongue is one of the most sensitive places in the human body so that explained why his tongue isn't used to pain. Actually, there might be something wrong with you if your tongue is pain resistance. Like, seriously.
"Let me see your tongue."
Ichigo stuck out his tongue as he pants quietly. It was bleeding slowly and Hichigo has to hiss as he saw the wound.
Ichigo watched Hichigo as he licks the wound slowly with his tongue. He could feel his brother's near-instant regeneration ability kicking in with his saliva. Ichigo blushed. He can never get used to the way that Shin's near regeneration ability works. Especially when, half the time that Shin healed him, he was in dreamland.
Hichigo chuckles at the blush on Ichigo's face before quickly kissing his face with smalls, innocent kisses. After that, it was back to full tongue war. Their hands were everywhere in their bodies. Hichigo had one of his hands on Ichigo's gluteal while the other was on his nipple. One of Ichigo's hands was taking off Hichigo's clothes while the other tugged him in closer toward him. Pants and moaning fill the underground training spaces for what seems like a long time, when in fact, it wasn't even a couple of minutes.
It wasn't long before the moans turn louder as both brothers went for more than just touching. The bed cracks in protest at their wild moves and strong movement. It was a good thing that the bed was made using special material and Reishi. Otherwise, it would had long been destroyed by their movement.
"Ah! N-nii-san!" Ichigo moaned as Hichigo thrust into him willingly. The older brother groaned as Ichigo's moans make the blood raised toward his brain. He slammed into Ichigo faster and softer but more precise, causing Ichigo to open his eyes and mouth in silent screams of pleasures as his spot was hit dead on again and again.
Ichigo let out a groan as he thrust back to Hichigo, causing the older Kurosaki to moan and groan both at the same time.
Before long, both brothers comes together at the same time with screams of each other's names on their lips.
Hichigo kissed the tired younger boy underneath him with a gentleness that would shock any Shinigami. After all, Hollows are destructive beings by nature. Not gentle.
"Sleep, Icchi," Hichigo said as he eyed the now-sleeping boy with a clear gentleness in his eyes. Ichigo's eyes flash dark blue for a spite seconds before settling down back to his original golden brown colors as he closed his eyes and snuggled closer toward his brother for warm.
Hichigo smirked in a way that doesn't say that he is mocking someone but rather of fondness. Hichigo quickly clean both of them up with a practical efficiency formed with years of experiences before grabbing a blanket from the near drawer and covering them up together. Since both of them are still naked, Hichigo put a simple Kido spell over the door to let him know if anyone got in before holding Ichigo gently into his arms.
Tightening Ichigo in his embrace, Ichigo let out a small smile that make Hichigo's heartbeat, something that shouldn't be possible, increase.
His King. His everything. "Ichi, I refuse to let some Shinigami idiots to separate us. Not even if the Soul King wants you back. It is impossible for me to let you go. You are mine as I am yours, for eternity." Hichigo muttered softly as he kissed Ichigo on his forehead before he slowly closing his eyes into a light sleep.
As both brothers went deeper into their sleep, a dark red with outlines of pure darkness reiatsu slowly twisted around another reiatsu with a pure blue and darker than blacks outline of reiatsu, which responds to the other side equally as they both twisted around the two sleeping boys on the bed.

The next morning, Hichigo wake up when his sense picks up Isshin's reiatsu in the door.
"Hichigo! Ichigo! You're classmate is here!" Isshin yelled from the door, not wanting to go down and alert people in living since they don't know his true look yet.
Classmate? What classmate? Ichigo stirred at the noise as he opened his eyes with a sleepiness that made the younger Kurosaki boy look way too adorable in a way that shouldn't be possible for a boy his age.
"Coming!" Hichigo yelled back before giving Ichigo a peck on his lips with a "Good morning, Icchi." at Ichigo.
"Morning, Nii-san. Who was over?" Ichigo asked as he rubbed the sleepiness away from his eyes as he reaches for his clothes without even looking to see if it was the right one.
"Goat-Face said that it was our classmate. Who the fuck will visit us besides that girl?" Hichigo asked as he put on his own clothes. Which was a mixed- and match of them both. Of course, they keep clothes in here since both Hichigo and Ichigo always manage to shred their clothes to rugs by the end of their fights. By now, they both have gone thru at least a hundred pants and shirts in their human form while fighting since, in their spirits forms, both their clothes are made using Reiatsu and can be fixed with it.
"It's probably Tatsuki," Ichigo said as he made his way toward the stairs to the door with no strains in sight. Hichigo have to say, damn, his Icchi's stamina was no joke even after 3 hours of lovemaking last night, he didn't even feel the after effect anymore. Just a couple of months ago, Ichigo wouldn't be able to get up after their lovemaking but now, it doesn't even bother him.
And this is Hichigo talking about 3-5 hours of lovemaking in his full strength, in his reigai. Even in his reigai, Hichigo's powers isn't a joke. But usually, he didn't need a reigai since when he manifest into the outer world, he is already physically as physical can be.
What? You thought that Hichigo would use a Gigai? No way, A Gigai (義骸, Faux Body) is an artificial body which allows Shinigami to remain in the Human World and interact with Humans. And A Reigai (霊骸, Spirit Body) is an artificial and spiritual body which allows artificial souls to maintain a physical form in Soul Society. In Soul Society is the keyword here.
However, Hichigo's Reigai is a combination of both a Gigai and a normal Reigai that Kisuke especially made just for him since isn't just a normal hollow. For Shinigami to be unable to detect Hichigo after all this time requires a lot of work for Kisuke. Something that the older man is more than happy to do when providers with willing subjects like Hichigo.
And of course, the Reishi that is used to made the Reigai was Ichigo's.
"Anyway, what could Tatsuki have wanted? You quite Karate for years now. You even quite the two other martial arts classes that you were taking." Hichigo confusingly asked as he started to climb after Ichigo.
However, he stopped before reaching the door since he senses a reiatsu that clearly isn't Tatsuki. He vanished back into Ichigo's inner world without any warning.
Feeling the presence of Hichigo in Ichigo's inner world, Ichigo stop and blinked.
'Nii-san?' He asked internally with a confusion that clearly states his confusion.
'Shinigami.' Was the only answered that Hichigo gives. Hichigo mood is really not so good right now.
'What?' Ichigo asked shockingly since he couldn't feel the signature reiatsu of a shinigami from where he is at. After all, the door to the underground training was blocked by a kido seal that Kisuke had placed with the help of Hachi. It is the strongest seal there is so it wasn't a surprise that Ichigo can't feel any reiatsu from outside. Hichigo can sense it only because he has a perfect control of his reiatsu. Unlike a certain orange haired boy.
'The reiatsu belongs to that red-headed Shinigami and the midget girl.' Hichigo cursed as Zangetsu Old Man narrowed his eyes. They have a suspicious as to why the red head shinigami and that midget girl is here.
Ichigo froze as his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Ichigo might not be like Hichigo, who's brain is on a completely different level. But Ichigo's instincts as one of the Shiba son is on another whole level together. Especially when his instinct are combined with Hichigo's hollow instinct. The advanced hyper-intuition that Ichigo has is to a level where he could predict the future if he wants to.
And his intuition is screaming at him to go back inside the underground training facility and completely ignored the people in his house.
Ichigo was never one to fully question his intuition, even when he sometimes goes against it. Hichigo and Ichigo have long been together fighting hollows and the darker being of the other world ever since they were little their fighting experiences could be said to rival against a captain from the Soul Society.
This wasn't a jest or a joke. This was the true knowledge that comes from years of fighting against hollow and the other beings that the Quincy must face due to the location that they are locating.
How do you think someone like Ichigo, who has both a shinigami father and a mother who is the Princess from the Quincy line, survives til now?
Did you know that when Ichigo was born, hundreds of dark beings from the other side came into the human world? Of course, you don't know since no one ever mentioned it.
That was the first time that the Emperor of the Quincy - Ichigo's great-grandfather - had to step into the Human world after all.
Ichigo sighed out loud. No matter what, he mustn't let them know that they have an underground training facility underground their house. Otherwise, it will attract trouble them. No ordinally human should have one, after all.
Making up his mind, Ichigo continues making his way upward. Once he got to the living room, his sister Yuzu was serving the midget girl and the redheaded boy some teas along with some biscuits that she made for their mother, who is still at the Hospital.
"Onii-chan, would you like some tea too?" Yuzu asked once she saw Ichigo coming into the living room. Ichigo was wearing a dark navy and black training outfit that shows his muscles tone body. He isn't too muscle nor was he too skinny but rather a perfect combination of muscle, lean, fat and yet strange senses of elegant and grace. Seeing that Ichigo is in his training outfit, Yuzu skipped toward the closet door and take out a white towel before skipping back toward Ichigo.
"Thanks, Yuzu," Ichigo smiles softly at his sister as he patted her hand.
"Could you get me some juice instead?" Ichigo asked as he placed the towel around his neck.
"Okay~!" Yuzu cheerfully answered as she went toward the kitchen.
Ichigo looked around the living room. Both the midget girl and the red-headed shinigami were still drinking their teas with a bliss expressions on their face. Behind them, Karin was totally ignoring them as she watches the latest episode of the newest anime. Ichigo can feel that his father's reiatsu - which was barely there - was in the clinic. So, the goat-face didn't care about them huh? Which means that they don't know about him too.
Ichigo's eyes narrowed as his eyes land on the two shinigami. Taking his sit on the other sofa, Ichigo watched the two shinigami drink their tea with their eyes closed.
Ichigo waits for the shinigami to finished their tea as he drinks the orange juice that his sister got for him. A couple more minutes of silence between the three of them and Ichigo had enough.
"So, what are you two doing here this time?" Ichigo asked, not caring at all that he is being disrespected by the guest. They aren' his guest anyway.
Renji and Rukia look at each other. "We had ordered from the higher-up to investigate the cause of the malice in the air. And so, we would like you to take us around town to any particular places that you think had hollow attacks." Rukia requested while Renji quietly seats by her side.
Ichigo's eyes narrow. He might not be a manipulator but he isn't stupid. If this situation happened three years ago, he might answer the shinigami without thinking and care about the consequences but for the past three years, he wasn't just being trained in combats. Politics, manipulation, lies, control over reiatsu, kido spells, kaidou (Healing kido), and a lot of other things. Since Ichigo isn't very good at lying nor is he that type, Kisuke and Shinji take it as their job to make sure that Ichigo recognizes signs of manipulation when it is being used.
You have to now that Kisuke is a freaking damn Master strategist and tactician when he isn't trying to hide his talents. Not to mention Shinji's Zappakutou itself is one of the illusion types. There is no way that Shinji is stupid. He one freaking damn keen bastard. So when Ichigo is training with them, it wasn't just with combats. Ichigo still can not lie to save his life but he does know how to avoid direct lied with half true and concealment.
Even then, Old-Man Zangetsu still said that Ichigo is far too naive, so he takes it as one of the things that Ichigo had to learn and teach him. Old-Man Zangetsu had Ichigo train in control of his reiatsu, his Quincy abilities, and also have the other Quincy trains with Ichigo. Old-Man Zangetsu wasn't happy that Ichigo had to train with the other Quincy but since he knows that Ichigo wanted to see his great-grandfather too, he didn't say anything. After all, Yhwach hates people who lie with a passion like flames, so he really loves Ichigo as if it was his own son. Otherwise, by now, Ichigo would have been dead over thousands of time for having a hollow like Hichigo as his lover and brother.
"Why?" Ichigo asked with his eyes narrowed. Both Renji and Rukia nearly flinch when Ichigo narrowed his eyes at them. Maybe Byakuya Nii-sama should have come with them after all. For some reason, after going to the living that last time, Byakuya had been very easily irritated so now he is resting from work. Which explains why only Renji and Rukia are here and not Byakuya.
"Because we don't know this town well enough and we wanted to investigate this accident as quickly as possible since we're in a hurry." Renji can't help but answer when his eyes meet with Ichigo. For some reason, seeing the looks in Ichigo's eyes remind him of when he was training with his teacher in the Academy, it brings shivers down his spine.
"Why on earth are you so rushing for? You know that rushing won't get you guys anywhere, right?" Ichigo sighed out loud as he kneads his temple. Both shinigami are far too out of time with the current event in Karakura Town so Ichigo can see why they would like to seek his help but for some reason, Ichigo's instinct tells him that involving with these two shinigami will only give him more headache.
"Ah, that's because there's an event in Soul Society-oof!" Renji was cut off by an elbow from Rukia. Rukia glared at Renji. He doesn't have to tell the human that.
"An event? Whatever. Fine. However, only after school since our school is getting ready for the autumn festival and I will be busy this week." Ichigo said as he closed his eyes.
'Icchi, really?' Asked Hichigo from inside Ichigo's mind. Of course, Hichigo won't be happy with the decision. If there are shinigami near them then Hichigo can't manifest outside Ichigo's mind, which mean that he can't hug his Icchi for a while.
'Is fine, nii-san. While we're at school. Both shinigami will be too busy going from places to place to investigates so they won't be at school with us.' Ichigo said softly. Hichigo tsked at his answer and pout.
"Well then, should we start after lunch?" Ichigo asked the two shinigami.
"Yes. It is better to get this over with and return back." Rukia answers after she elbowed Renji to prevent him from opening his mouth. Renji groans as he rubbed his 'injuries'.
"Where are you guys going to stay at until then? I need to know to be able to contact you guys." Ichigo asked.
Both shinigami look at each other, completely not knowing what to answer. Where? They look at each other. They both totally forgot about this issue. When their captain was with them, they didn't need to worry about that since they are most likely to sleep in a Kidou tent made by the Shinigami Research and Development Institute(S.R.D.I.). However, since there wasn't someone of at last 5th seat here and only two 7th seat, the SRDI doesn't give out extra. So now, both Renji and Rukia will have to camp out in the opening. The last times they were here with the Captain so they were staying at a Shop that have connection with Soul Society's higher up, which they had already forgotten about.
Both shinigami look at each other and sigh out loud.
"?" A question mark appeared on Ichigo's head as he looks at the two shinigami. Wait... Don't tell me that those two doesn't even know where they are going to stay? Nah, that can't be. Aren't soul society that stingy with their resources right?
Silence reign the living room.
A vein pop up on the top of Ichigo's forehead.
"Well?" Ichigo asked, irritated at the two of them. Both shinigami flinch.
"Ahem, well... About that, we were hoping that we could stay here with you." Renji says with a smile.
Ichigo isn't smiling.
Not at all.
"No," He answered without even having to think. So fast and not even hesitating at all.
"Why not?!" Renji got up and asked while Rukia just quietly looked away. There is nothing she can say to that since she also doesn't want to camp outside too. She is a girl after all.
"Why not? Well, I'll tell you, why not. First of all, I am a human who happens to have two younger sisters who can already see spirits on a daily basis. I don't want you guys to influences their already sensitive aura anymore than it is already is. Secondly, I have another twin brother who hates strangers living in his house. Since he isn't going to be home until tonight, he doesn't know that you guys are already influencing the aura in this house. He Hates that. Thirdly, I am a student. I have to wake up daily every day at 6 in the morning. I can't have you guys distracting me with your business every night when I already have to worry about hollow and school works. Thirdly, I don't want to social with the afterlife any more than I already am." Ichigo said with his eyes blazing in fire as he fires each and every reason into the shinigami's face.
"Arg." Renji can't argue with that. The living room once again descended into silence. After all, it is the truth that their presences here will do all the above-mentioned things. And, he didn't have any obligations to help them. This is their jobs, not his.
Yuzu looks worriedly from the kitchen. Is true, she also doesn't like when there are people like the shinigami in their house. For some reason, Yuzu doesn't like it when another aura, reiatsu, influences the warm reiatsu inside their house. Karin look from where she is watching the T.V and glared at the two shinigami as her answer. She agreed with her brother. The memories from that day are still fresh in her mind. She doesn't want them to influence their lives any more than it's already are.
"Nii-san, why don't you take them to see Hats-and-Cloaks?" Karin asked as she went back to watch her anime.
Ichigo perks up. That's right! He forgot about that.
"Now that you remind me. That's another optional." Ichigo smiles with a look in his eyes at the two shinigami. Both shinigami look at Ichigo confusingly. Who is Hats-and-Cloaks?
Ichigo takes the two Shinigami to Kisuke. Since Kisuke was working on two other seals for Ichigo, he wasn't there when they got there. However, Tessei was there to greet them. Since it hasn't been that long of a time since both Renji and Rukia graduated, they both didn't know about Tessai and Kisuke.
"Ichigo-dono, welcome back." Tessai greets with a small smile on his face. Tessai Tsukabishi is a tall, muscular, lightly tan-skinned man. His hair is cornrowed and he has a large handlebar mustache, which is connected to his long sideburns. He wears a pair of rectangular-shaped glasses. His attire consists of a white muscle shirt with regular pants and a blue apron that have the name of the shop in kanji. Tessai is a very quiet, stern, and level-headed man but when it comes to Ichigo, he softens since he knew Ichigo ever since he was born. He rarely smiles openly, but to Ichigo, it is something that he seems a lot of times.
"Tessai-san." Ichigo greeted with a small smile on his ever frowning face. Just as Ichigo step inside, two small children run from inside the shop and toggle Ichigo to the ground, surprising both Rukia and Renji since they can't even sense their reiatsu.
"Ouch! Damn it! Jinta! Uru-chan! I told you both not to do that!" Ichigo yelled as he hit the head of the two children on top of him.
"Jinta-kun! Ururu-chan, please don't toggle Ichigo-dono like that." Tessai worriedly helps the two children up. This happens nearly every time that Ichigo is there. Usually, when Ichigo got there, he would always avoid the two or at least avoid Jinta since he wasn't just hugging the orange head but rather toggling him.
Tessai spends a minute telling them to behave themselves as Ichigo takes both Renji and Rukia towards the living room.
"Wait here. The owner will be here soon. I will be right back." Ichigo said he got up and left the living room, toward where he knew the shop owner will be in. After Ichigo left, both Rukia and Renji look at each other. Having no clue as to what they should do. They totally didn't remember that they been here once already. Probably something to do with Kisuke's new runes on the door frames.
A couple of seconds after that, Tessai came inside with tea and cookies for both shinigami and left as quietly as he comes.
When Ichigo got to the underground facility that Kisuke called his experiment room, Ichigo knocked on the door a couple of time.
"Oh, my, Ichigo. Is there something wrong? The training schedule isn't until Monday. It is only Sunday now right?" Kisuke asked as he smiles with that goofy smile of his. Ichigo's eyebrows twitched.
"Oi, Kisuke. There are two shinigami upstairs waiting for you. It was the two that come with that captain what-was-his-name-again? Ah, right. Byakuya. They're waiting for you." Ichigo started and then proceed to explains that he didn't want the shinigami in his house.
"Got it. That's understandable. We won't want Hichigo-san to start getting irritated now, do we?" Kisuke replies with his hats shadowing his face. They both know what will happen when Hichigo gets too irritated. They didn't need to explain it.
After that, Kisuke gives Ichigo the newly made seals.
"Ah, that's right. I just finished the seal. Hold on." Kisuke said as he went back inside his room with Ichigo following him. Ichigo was carefully tending where he steps. He has come inside Kisuke's experiment room a couple of times before and it isn't a good idea to randomly steps everywhere.
One time he had accidentally stepped on one of the machines that Kisuke created and caused his whole body to turned into a girl. Hichigo teased him about it for months. From then on, he swore that he will never step on anywhere that Kisuke hadn't step already. He also swore that he would never ever wear woman's clothes for the rest of his life. Till this days, Hichigo was still teasing him about it sometimes.
'Ichi-hime,' Hichigo teased from inside with a smirk on his face. Ichigo's normally scowling face blushed bright red for a couple of seconds. When Kisuke notice the blush on Ichigo's cheeks, Kisuke smiles fondly. Of course, he would know why Ichigo is blushing. There aren't that many people that can make the scowling boys blushed that red after all.
However, since Kisuke still loves having his life inside him, he doesn't tease the orange head. The last time that he did, Ichigo nearly broke his ribcage from just one punch. He learned his lesson the hard way. Thank you very much but he will refrain from teasing Ichigo no matter how adorable the orange-head was.
"Ichigo, give me your wrist and ankle," Kisuke said. Ichigo did as asked. A dark red and black thin bracelet was cuffed next to the ones that he has already. His ankle was next. Ichigo can feel that his whole body got more relaxed and it isn't so tense anymore. It got easier for him to breathe.
He always finds it therapeutics relaxation sensation when he gets new seals. Ichigo can't explain it in words; he only known that when a new seal is placed on him, he feel that the suffocating feeling inside his body starts to loosen and then compressed very tightly without making his whole body groan in pain.
"You have the cards for the next session?" Ichigo asked. By that, Ichigo mean the memories cards for his PC for the next 20 Kido spells and it's lessons. Since Isshin was getting busy with the clinic, Kisuke started to compile his kido lessons into a human-like lesson, which can be learned on a computer. However, unlike normal memory card that human used, the cards that Kisuke made can only be accessed with Ichigo's Quincy-Shinigami-Human reiatsu. This is the first precaution that Kisuke place. The second was a spell that requires Hichigo's blood, which for some reason was read differently from Ichigo even though they are a twin.
Probably because Ichigo and Hichigo aren't really the same person?
Ichigo had been learning with Hichigo, using the memory cards that had videos of steps by steps of how to ignite each spell and their function, in both theory and practically. For the past 3 years, you can say that Ichigo's control of his reiatsu is better due to that. There is no way that Ichigo wouldn't notice how his control over his shinigami power got better because of those practices.
"Ah, Right. Where did I put them?" After putting the seal on Ichigo's wrist and ankles, Kisuke went back to rampage through his stuff for the next memory card.
"Ah! Found it." Kisuke said as he picks up a very small object. The object is naturally a data card.
"Here you go. Level 50 to level 60 spells." Kisuke said with a glint in his eyes.
"Level 50 to 60?" That's more than usual. Usually, there will only be 2 to 5 new levels of spells since each level has at least 10 different kinds of spells in it.
"Yeah, I am too lazy to separate them so you will have to go through all those before asking for another one," Kisuke said as Ichigo and he left the room. Ichigo put away the card into his inner world. Hichigo picks up the card and started to read through the data inside with somewhat of a sneer on his face.
Ichigo doesn't know if this is normal or not but ever since he can remember, it was possible for him to take outside objects into his world. When Kisuke discovered about this, he was all over the moon. So now, all the things that Kisuke made for Ichigo were totally different from normal Shinigami or Quincy objects.
"Well, thanks. Hurry up then, the midget and the pineapple head are upstairs waiting for you," Ichigo reminded Kisuke.
"Hai, Hai. Coming," Kisuke replies as he closes and sealed his door. Ichigo shinpo as fast as he can in his human body toward the stairs. Kisuke followed closely by.
Ichigo has no clue that this decision will make his life and the afterlife intersect for the upcoming years.
