Chapter 245: Rooster

Chapter 245: Rooster

One day later

The Emperor woke up from his cultivationa wide smile on.

'Urahara, Yoruichi and the Quincy all have their own rooster to send in this cute little mess'

'It would be a shame if I didn't have one of my own'

Even if Ichigo was now tied down to himHe was still someone else's rooster. That why he didn't want to train him until later.

He opened another portal as he lightly stretched out

He appeared in the little shop of Urahara He smiled lightly as he saw the blond man eagerly waiting for him:

"Your Majesty"

Marek nodded:

"Did it go as planned? Or did the naughty guy make a fuss once again?"

Urahara sighed:

"Wellit's not like we can change his character."

"But it's going pretty wellHe will be ready tomorrow."

Marek nodded, a meaningful smirk on:

"Then it's time for me to get involved as well"

"Is it ready"

He turned around and pointed with his cane to the inside of the shop.

"I don't know what interest could your majesty have in my meager creations butHere it is as requested"

Marek made his way as the voice of shinigami resounded

In front of himwas what resembled an inanimate corpse, but was in perfect condition. A little cat was playing around with it

Marek titled his head:

"Did you do something naughty to it?"

The cat got on his shoulders as she spoke:

"Why would I care about a gigai, when I can have the real thing whenever I want?"

Marek, a little surprised, laughed:

"You do know how weird it sounds with the male voice of your cat form, don't you?"

The cat had a proud look on:

"Hmph! My cat form is part of my charm, It's not my problem if you don't appreciate it."

He ignored the pouting feline and examined Marek Vega's Gigai.

The body was resembling the original in everyway

Long descending spiky hair, big frame, yet overall lean silhouette, no tail

And more curiously, he was dressed with a High School Uniform.

He looked at it for a while before entering.

And under the eyes of the both of themThe gigai opened it's eyesA large smirk on.

The previously lifeless eyes, of the gigain immediately began more profoundDark and unfathomable.

Marek stood upas he looked down at his body.

He grumbled

"I can't get used itModern Clothes are really not to my taste."

He walked away letting a message back to them:

"Time to catch my Rooster."

Yoruichi sighed:

"Is it really only because of thatI can lend you one of mine?"

Marek directly rejected:

"You take care of the big brown bear and the little airhead."

"I am doing it because I think 'she' deserves this opportunity."

He had a piercing gaze on:

"Whether she can seize it to became one of the most powerful beings of her worldIs only up to her."

Yoruichi voice seemed to held a trance of anger in it:

"Really? Are you ready to do this much?"

Urahara by the side felt chill down his spine

"It seems you really took a liking to her"

"Aren't the women you already have enough for you, you perverted bastard!"

Marek only laughed as he titled his head:

"It's cute that you think that."

"But do you think this Emperor is swayed by anyone? Hmph! Be careful of what you say! You stupid cat!"

He then made another step before disappearing. The cat only screamed:

"How frustrating!!"

Karakura High School.

This was the last day before the beginning of the holidaysIchigo came here only to find outThat Rukiabecame a fragment of the past

Forever forgotten by the world.

Doomed to an existence of naught in the Human World. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

This only made Ichigo in ever gloomier mood. That night he lost, he was overpowered and made in a sloppy mess, by enemies he couldn't even fathom. A doubled voice resounded in his mind:

"Even injuredYou aren't his match."

Determination was already brimming within him.

'I will get her back!!'

On the other side, in another place in the High School.

A High School girl was having some difficulties of her own.

'Weird...'

When she woke up this same dayShe immediately felt that something was amiss. This sentiment made her uncomfortable and cloudy. She couldn't distinguish her feelings.

"Little girl."

Tatsuki raised her hung down head:

"Y..yes?"

"Look into my eyes."

Obeying the orders, she looked into his eyesOnly to find weird tomoe patterns appearing in them.

The tomoes began rotating.and she felt her whole consciousness sucked up.

Immediately, past events began to happen.

Only she was following the perspective of Ichigo.

In her illusions she followed the battles, the win and losses.as she discovered, the same way, Ichigo did

The reality of this world.

In her illusions days and weeks passed by.

But here not even a fraction had passed.

She put her hand over her hand.Dread in her voice

"KuchikiHow could I forget?"

She looked upto see the man still idly standing by.

"What does Ichigo plan on doing?!"

Marek sneered:

"Like you don't knowWhat will he do?"

Tatsuki sighed

"And if Ichigo goes you know who will follow?"

The young girl gnashed her teeth in frustration, she looked up:

"Why are you telling me that?"

Marek responded calmly:

"Why do you think I did?"

He sighed:

"You have good combat senses. You also have a good heartAnd know as I see it"

He smirked:

"A deep yearning for strength beyond your reach."

Tatsuki responded, frustrated:

"But I am not a Shinigami nor do I have special powers like Orihime."

The Emperor smirked:

"Who said that was the only way to get stronger?"

"Do you have to be born into strength like Ichigo to be really powerful?"

He smiled:

"It only depends on youWhether you stay here and continue your life away from everyone and everything."

"Or if you do something about it."

"I just happen to have some boredom to kill and some things to see through."

He looked deeply into her eyes:

"I can make you powerful enough to go with them."

"In these 20 days."

"Are you readyto become a Soul Cultivator?"

The girl had a wary face as she spoke curtly:

"And what are you gaining from this..?"

Hearing that, Marek laughed to the sky:

"How hilarious.Do you really think that there is something I could gain from you?."

"MaybeEntertainment value"

Tatsuki smiled bitterly:

"I see"

She took a deep breath:

"It was fine when I didn't know and I couldn't do anything about it."

She smirked:

"But I can't just do nothing now, can I?"

The Emperor smirked back:

"Good enough response."

He had a sharp glint in his eyes

"Just to be clear"

"Being a Soul Cultivator is a million times more difficult than mastering Shinigami or Quincy Powers"

He opened up a blue portal.

"It normal takes a few thousands years to become a good one at that."

He smiled lightly:

"What we are about to do"

"is cramming a thousand years in 20 days"

He spoke ominously:

"Be ready for hell."

Tatsuki took a deep breath:

"Give me your bestI can take as much as possible!!"

Marek looked over:

"Take as much as possible? What do you think cultivation is? Martial Arts?"

"If you want to make it through.... Ready your mind... Not your flimsy little muscles."

"Follow me."
