It was almost ironic that he had never really been the religious type. The same went for his family. They didn't worship any god from what he could remember, and instead mostly focused on traditions than the likes of religion. It was perfectly fine with Ichigo at that young age because he didn't really know anything all that much about the place. It was when he grew older and was pushed into the aspect of what the afterlife consisted of, that he realized that he had been wrong. Growing up however, he knew how important was to take care of shrines and the dead. Treat them with the respect that they deserved to be treated just like when they were alive. Souls and spirits were drawn to certain aspects of the living world, but eventually they would all pass on like they should. If they didn't, then that was when the problems happened. Ichigo was accustomed to leaving shrines on the likes of graves or memorials. He wasn't completely cold-hearted when it came to the aspect of the dead. Ichigo didn't believe in gods or goddesses however, and instead the Shinigami simply believed in life and death. When someone died they returned to soul society where they could continue living for the majority of their life. There were no such things as gods to them, although there were some instances that certain beings could be called gods from their power but could be killed just the same. Ichigo was a Death God, but he wasn't a God. He knew that it was confusing, but most believed that gods couldn't be killed. Ichigo on the other hand wasn't a complete Death God, and was actually part mortal.
But the idea that a Death God/ Grim Reaper couldn't be killed was false. Ichigo had the experience to prove that he had watched his fellow Shinigami comrades die and never come back. It was a horrible sight, but he knew it did happen. He didn't like it though and would do everything in his power to protect his friends. Ichigo was brought up with certain Japanese traditions and those that he didn't know he read on. The group of clans that he had come from his travels and the one that he had led up to a point also had a shrine. It was a small shrine made of just a simple archway and no building. There was always something sinister about the shrine, and one day one of his clanmates had gotten close to the shrine only to end up being attacked by a corrupted spirit. Corrupted spirits were usually tracking Ichigo down thanks to the spiritual energy he commonly gave off. It was almost like a curse to the Death God, but he was attentive to know when something bad was about to happen spiritually. His clanmate had been lucky to get out alive when the thing had left, and Ichigo was there to hopefully calm her down even if it was just a little bit. It was his job, after all, to deal with souls and spirits that refused to let go of the world of the living and safely pass on. One thing about moving to a new group of clans was the fact that he didn't really know anything. This was slightly annoying, but he knew that he would get the hang of it eventually. The over-sized cougar had been patrolling a lot to make sure that anyone near the border would remain safe to whatever was happening.
Ichigo was still confused as he still didn't have enough knowledge to know which side to pick or which side to protect. It was frustrating, and with the lack of sleep he knew that his hallucinations would start getting the better of him if he wasn't careful. The Shinigami let a sigh escape his jaws as he hadn't been paying attention to where he was going until he saw a building off in the distance. He stopped for a second and observed a building off at a distance. He tilted his head slightly as he recognized certain decore and symbols that were spread across the building. Was that... a shrine? This immediately took his interest as spirits and ghosts took refuge near these areas. Ichigo heard voices not too far away from where the shrine seemed to be, and Ichigo seemed to stop and bow his head slightly before he entered the sacred grown that covered the area. Some shrines could be pathways marked to go back to Soul Society, and if he wanted to try to go back he could try and get information if this was one of the places. He rounded the area until he found the door. Two familiar faces and one quite not familiar. Of course, he only knew the name of Infirmaryward and that was around it. He stopped at the threshold of the door closing his eyes and obviously saying something in his head, slightly bowing his head before walking in. "Well this is a familiar site." Ichigo said with a tired grin spread across his facial features. "How long has this shrine been here?' Ichigo questioned to no one particular. It reminded him of the houses and shrines that were in Soul Society. All the rooms sectioned off with paneled walls and mats. [color=crimson]"I don't like it here.". A familiar voice rang out into Ichigo's head, causing one of his ears to flick to the side. "Of course you don't like it here. But you would think that you would get used to it by now considering how many years its been." Ichigo replied with a snarky comment, and that definitely shut the corrupted spirit inside of him up.
