BLEACH - End of Dreams
HERITAGE
A drabble in many parts
2. First Encounter
Shiba Kuukaku knew at first glance who Ichigo was-really was. Not only that he looked like a copy of Kaien with hair dipped in orange, but the reiatsu was also a dead giveaway. Heck, she wouldn’t be surprised if Ichigo was Kaien being reincarnated. It made sense in a way, since most of the time Kaien wanted to beat some responsibility into Isshin’s head. The habit probably followed his soul past death and rebirth, made him found his way to be near Isshin.
Hot-headed, rash, persistent. Quick tempered. Obstinate beyond reason. Kind heart beneath the tough façade. It was like Ganju all over again, with some extra-scracth it, a lot of reiatsu to back him up. The deep, unmeasurable well of spiritual power that was the signature of their non-Shiba ancestry. Isshin’s son alright.
She would help him. Indeed she will. But she would have to speak with Yoruichi first. If the boy’s going to go against the old man and his merry band, he’s going to need all help he can get.
Besides, it will be fun to see the old man squirm once in a while.
