Summary
‘Well, Kurosaki-kun, I have good news and I have bad news. Which would you like to hear first?’ Kisuke asked.
‘Uhm, the bad news?’
‘Then I will start by offering you an apology; I haven’t been completely honest with you’.
Ichigo frowned, 'About what?'
‘About how long it will take for your soul to heal'.Ichigo gets an update on his recovery, it does not go how he expected.

Summary
2 years, 7 months and 25 days after Ichigo lost his powers, his soul recovered and he regained them. After a lot of reflection, both of the self and past, Ichigo has come to terms with the true identity of his Inner Hollow. Ready to take full responsibility and accept both spirits as part of him, Ichigo goes down to his Mindscape to give them a well-deserved apology.
Too bad the spirits he wants to apologise to, no longer exist.
(An alternate version of how Ichigo's reunion with his Zanpakuto could have gone after he regained his powers.)

Summary
We have all heard the saying "Don't make promises you can't keep" but what about making promises you aren't ready to hold?
"You said you're my Zanpakutō, first and foremost, yet you lose your temper and take control—Zanpakutō don't do that!"
"You doubt me."

Summary

Summary
Ichigo is a kind soul. He likes to fight but doesn't like to be violent. He prefers to see the best in people, believe they can change, and give them another chance.
Zangetsu is almost the opposite. He loves to fight and prefers violence if it's the easier solution. He is distrustful, believes in learning things the hard way, and does not forgive easily.
And yet, Zangetsu is born from Ichigo's soul. And sometimes that shows.

Summary
Two weeks is a long time when you barely catch any sleep, Ichigo had found. Fortunately, he had enough to think and reflect upon to keep himself busy. Now, fourteen days after his argument with his Zanpakutō, Ichigo knew what needed to be done. Here's to hoping Zangetsu even wants to talk to him.
Before that, though, they had to survive Kisuke's tests.
(Told you I would make it better.)

Summary
Another sort of sneak preview of a scene I am very hype about, and I could NOT wait to share.
"Zangetsu he looked down at the zanpakutō he held, and felt like a stranger was looking back.
This was not his blade.
This blade was not him."Series
