BLEACH: Flames in the Dark [Reiji Hikifune X Ichigo Kurosaki]

My blade, filled with a bone-chilling intent to kill, entered his body.

I think fifty years is enough time for a lot of things to happen... = =|||

The setting is fifty years later. Well, fifty years ago, Aizen escaped from prison and fought Ichigo again...

After Ichigo defeated Aizen, he fell asleep for fifty years.

Then he woke up to find that everyone had grown up to varying degrees.

Little White has grown to look eighteen, and is about as tall as Ichigo.

Big White and Rukia got married. = =|||

The captain of Squad Five is now Yobune Meiji.

He is the younger brother of Yobune Kirio, who was promoted to the Zero Division 162 years ago.

The shopkeeper is still in the World of the Living, but Karin and the others have become Soul Reapers.

Ichigo must face the world he left behind for fifty years.

Yobune Meiji becomes his temporary mentor.

Aizen escaped fifty years ago.

Ah, writing conspiracies and schemes is such a headache...

Yobune Meiji treats him just like an animal. In fact, Yobune Meiji is a real pervert...

And a lot of things feel strange.

Everyone's attitude toward Ichigo is strange, too.

What happened over these fifty years?

Writing conspiracies and schemes is so difficult...
