The Protector's Journey

Explaining the situation...

Ichigo was shocked and honestly, a little scared when he had woken up and found himself in a new place.

He was surprised when there was a alien creature who had a master and also, powers.

Ichigo was gonna have a heart attack that very moment when said alien creature (sorry Nushi) eyes had glowed and he had.... Paralyzed him.

At this very moment, he could not move or breathe at that.

Ichigo tried but he couldn't.

From his line of sight, he saw Nushi sit back on his hind legs and his horns glowed this time. Then something like a shockwave came from his horns and echoed throughout the den.

When the wave went over his body, there was a slight pain in his head for a quick second.

After it was over, Nushi came back to his face, tapped his for head and went to look at the entry to the room.

*Motion*

Ichigo slowly sat up, coughing. Not being able to breathe even for a few seconds was the worst feeling. "What was that?" He asked hesitantly. Nushi didn't answer.

Ichigo tried again. "Who did you just do with your horn things?" Nushi glanced at him.

*Just wait for the others to get here* he muttered.

Ichigo had no choice but to wait.

Not even five minutes later, he heard footsteps coming through the kitchen. He looked up and there stood nine people dressed in some kind of black robe except an older man who had a white robe and a long beard that almost reached the floor. There was three girls, two was very, very short and one had short hair, the other girl had short pink hair, the last girl was tall, had brown skin, and purple hair. There was four other males: one with shoulder-length black hair, one with dark blond hair, one with spikey hair with a bell, and one with red hair, all was tall.

When they came in the den, their eyes was dull with their heads bowed.
Nushi walked in front of them with soft but firm steps.

*wake.*

His voice rung out and their heads snapped up with wide eyes.

"Who..." The red head stuttered.

The one with the bell grinned, "you're looking for a fight?" and the pick one jumped on his shoulder "Kenny!!"

The long black haired one just looked around carefully.

The short black haired looked at the long black haired and smiled "onii-sama!!"

The blond one and purple walked to the old man and started talking quietly.

Nushi cleared his throat and everyone looked at him. *You all are here for a reason, to stop the upcoming war.*

The old man's eyes narrowed, "what war?" he bit out. The rest nodded and stared curiously.

Nushi tilted his head. *You haven't been aware of your soldiers... recent activities?*

Silence

The red one spoke up, "who is he?" And nodded his head in Ichigo's direction.

Nushi turned around and walked to the sofas, *you will know in a bit... Afterall, he is the key to winning the war... Now come, sit and watch your future. But first, introductions, brief.*

The red one raised a hand, "Renji Abarai."

The purple one tilted her head and did a easy grin, "Yorichi Shihoin."

The bell one did a huge laugh almost evil, "Kenpachi Zaraki."

The pink one did a small happy giggle, "Yachiru Kusajishi."

The small black one just nodded and said, "Rukia kuchiki."

The tall black one nodded and said quietly, "Byakuya Kuchiki."

The blond one did a small calm turn of lips, "Kisuke Urahara."

The old man straightened his back and said in a booming voice, "Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto but you can call me head captain or Yamamoto."
