Status: CONFIRMED SPOILER
Karakura Town, 7am, Monday
Kurosaki Ichigo/17 years old
Hair Color/Orange
Eye Color/Brown
Occupation/High School Student
As for spirits, I can't see them (TN: this is exactly the same as the first chapter of Bleach, save for his age and inability to see spirits)
Ichigo wakes up, saying "I'm sleepy"
Center color looks similar to the one from the first chapter - Ichigo is in front, with numerous characters in the background (such as Tatsuki and Ishida), but everyone is facing towards the bacl.
Ichigo changes into his school uniform. When he goes to the kitchen, Yuzu appears in her uniform and goes "ta~da!". She has her hair tied back in 2 pigtails.
However, Ichigo doesn't give much of a reaction to that and just asks her to pass the soy sauce. Yuzu gets angry with him over that as she passes him the soy sauce.
"I went through all that effort to keep what I look like in my new uniform a secret, and now that I'm showing it to you, you won't even look at me! I've never seen a brother like that," Yuzu passes Ichigo the rice.
At that, Ichigo murmurs, "I'm looking alright, and your zipper's open"
Karin watches this exchange, and pokes her chopsticks at the glasses of a spirit that is hovering around her. Ichigo does not see this at all.
Isshin appears, calling Yuzu's name loudly, asking which bowtie he should wear with the suit he is wearing to her entrance ceremony.
Yuzu: "Yeah, it's alright, either one is fine", she doesn't seem interested at all. isshin is shocked.
It has been 17 months since that battle, a little over a year. Ichigo has become a third year student.
With regards to his Shinigami powers, when Ichigo was sleeping, Chad and the rest had told Keigo and the rest all about it, seeming to trust them with it.
Ichigo says that he's happy that they had accepted it without saying anything.
Mizuiro is waiting for him outside when he leaves the house, he has a new hairstyle with his ears hidden by his hair, a little like Rukia.
Karin and Yuzu go to the middle school with Isshin. Ever since Ichigo lost his spiritual powers, Karin's has gotten stronger, and Karin now has hi-spec spiritual disposition.
She doesn't discuss it with Ichigo, so it seems they have reached some sort of mutual understanding on the matter.
When they reach school, Keigo comes dashing towards them. Ichigo does a pro-wrestling move as he greets him.
It seems Mizuiro is now in a different class, so he heads to his own class saying "see you at lunch"
Inside a classroom labeled 3-3, Tatsuki asks if Ichigo has brought the Tekken (TN: fist? it's also the name of a game). Karin (TN: I think this might be a typo. 69ruma might mean Tatsuki) hair is now as long as Kuukaku's.
Ichigo opens his bag saying "I brought it, I brought it". In his bag is the old Shinigami replacement identification. Ichigo passes the Tekken to Karin (TN: Tatuski?)
He didn't get a chance to return the shinigami replacement identification , and since he lost his powers it has stopped working as well, it's just a wooden plank now that it can neither serve as an alarm, and now normal people can see it too.
But it is also the only remaining proof that Ichigo was once a shinigami.
Ichigo absently plays with the badge even during lessons. Suddenly, there is a voice, "Ishida! Where are you going!"
Ishida runs away shouting "Nurse's office!" (it's not clear whether they are in the same class)
Now Ishida has taken on the role of Hollow purifications. It seems the afro dude is even more unreliable than expected.
And since that day, Rukia has not come by Karakura town even once.
Ichigo talks about university choices on the roof with Keigo. Keigo: "Ichigo, your grades had been good when we first entered high school, but somewhere in the middle of the first year you started failing"
Ichigo: "I was busy with all sorts of things then, and I'm still above average"
Keigo murmurs: "I wonder how Rukia-chan's doing"
Ichigo: "Why are you suddenly bringing up Rukia?"
Keigo: "She's so cold, she hasn't even shown her face since that day"
Ichigo: 'That's to be expected, she's no longer in charge off Karakura town."
Keigo: "Aren't you lonely?"
Ichigo: "No way"
Ichigo: "Only from the time when I was 16, did I finally get to live a normal life. I'm fine if I could live peacefully like this until I die."
Keigo: That's true, I don't want to feel that sort of fear again"
Ichigo: "I never felt superior just because I could see spirits. I never thought of making a living off that either, and neither did I think of helping others with that power. I longed for a life where I couldn't see spirits, and it's come true"
A guy carrying a bag slips past Ichigo, Keigo, Mizuiro, who are on their way back to the classroom. A hefty guy is chasing after the other guy.
Ichigo passes his bag to Mizuiro and chases after the guy who is running away.
He catches up to the guy and punches by the guy when he turns around. The guy who falls to the ground stands up again and pulls out a knife to counterattack, but Ichigo manages to catch the knife's blade between his fingers and stop the hand holding the knife and punch him again.
The body and reflexes he had trained as a shinigami in order to win are still with him, also another of the proofs that he was once a shinigami.
Ichigo returns the bag to the owner, who is the tall guy. His hair is all swept back, and he thanks Ichigo, and humorously says that he'll even treat Ichigo to ramen.
Ichigo rejects the offer and walks away, adding that he'll get into trouble so keep it a secret that he'd hit someone.
Guy: "I see, that's a pity"
After Ichigo leaves, he opens the zipper of his bag, and just like Ichigo, he is holding onto a replacement shinigami identification.
Guy: "He's a surprisingly wary one, isn't he, that Kurosaki Ichigo"

Bleach 424: Goodbye Halcyon Days, Redux
"Today's that day...the same day when I met...her. Three years, huh? It feels like yesterday..."
We see Ichigo lying on his back. He is in the Karakura graveyard, cushioned by a patch of verdant grass. His hands are behind his head as he stares wistfully into the azure sky. Suddenly, a face, its details obscured by shadow, pops into his view, rather close to his own face. A low voice comes from the figure. "Kurosaki-kun?"
"GAH!"
The noise startles the figure, which takes a step back. Ichigo himself quickly sits upward and comically scrambles back, only to see Orihime. He breathes a sigh of relief.
"Oh, it's just you, Inoue...geez, don't surprise me like that! You nearly gave me a heart attack."
Orihime, at seeing the look on his face, can't help but giggle.
"Heehee, I'm sorry! I just came to bring my brother some flowers and noticed someone in the distance, just laying there on the grass...I saw the orange hair and figured it had to be you."
Ichigo scratches the back of his head in that usual manner of his.
"Ah..."
"So, what brings you down here? Did you come to visit your mother?"
Ichigo nods, then looks over at his mother's tombstone.
"Yeah, and this place...reminded me of something."
We see a short flasback panel of Ichigo standing in front his mother's grave, asking Rukia to allow him to be a shinigami a bit longer. She sits in a tree overlooking him and smiles.
At that point, Orihime's voice rouses him from his reverie.
"Oh...that day...it's today, isn't it? The day you met..."
Ichigo allows himself a small, pensive smile.
"Rukia, yeah."
The two are quiet for a few moments, each looking at the ground, before Ichigo breaks the silence.
"...Have you talked to her recently?"
"Not since the last time I told you, which was a couple months ago...she's probably pretty busy with things in Soul Society, having finally been made a Vice Captain and all."
"Ah...yeah, I figure got a lot to d--"
At that moment, a ringing noise breaks him off mid-sentence - his cell phone. Flipping it open, he answers tentatively.
"Hello?"
A deep voice comes through on the phone's earpiece.
"Ichigo...there's trouble."
"Dad?"
Ichigo listens for a moment on the phone. His eyes widen in disbelief.
"...What?!"
Ichigo sits there on the grass, the phone held to his ears, while Orihime looks on worriedly.
Side Text: A shocking revelation!! What could it be?

What I cooked up in my head was something along these lines:
Its been a few years since Ichigo lost his powers. Soul Society and Karakura Town have been reasonably at peace. We open at the graduation ceremony for Ichigo and the nakama. We see Isshin and now teenage Yuzu and Karin, as well as Ryuuken all there. During the ceremony Ichigo's eyes unconsciously go to the back of the audience, where there's nothing, but its so quick and it doesn't even really register that Ichigo even did it. We are shown however what he unknowingly looked at for a moment was Rukia, peeking in to see this significant day in the lives of her friends. Rukia's mood is shown to be bittersweet. Happy for her friends but its apparent on her face that she misses them terribly and is pained. She offers a verbal "Congratulations, Ichigo," then leaves.
Later after the ceremony we see some humorous interaction between Ichigo, his father and his sisters, Ryuuken and Uryuu, Orihime and Tatsuki and Chizuru, the works just like old times. Ichigo and the others all are ready to go out and celebrate, and we pick up again later that night at the Kurosaki residence. Yuzu's cleaning up after dinner, Karin's sitting at the table, and Isshin is talking to Masaki's poster, telling her how proud she must be of Ichigo, not to mention the girls as they're growing up into beautiful women, sparking an embarrassed scolding from Karin. The sillyness continues for a while until Isshin's demeanor changes drastically, as if he senses something wrong.
We go back to Rukia who is shown to have stayed in town to patrol a little. We get some insight into her feelings, knowing she's risking getting in trouble with Byakuya for coming back, but hoping that Renji was able to keep him busy before he noticed. Instead of Hollows, she finds a Plus, looks to be a teenage girl. Rukia confronts her and explains everything about the soul burial and eases her mind about the process. The girl mentions how she hopes her family and friends don't forget about her, and relating strongly to her own sad feelings of no longer being a part of Ichigo and the others' lives, Rukia tells the girl that they'll never forget, as she'll always be in their hearts and they in hers. She completes the soul burial and prepares to return to SS, when suddenly she feels a sudden burst of reaitsu which concerns her, and she takes off in that direction.
Back in the Kurosaki home, the power has gone out and Isshin has gathered Karin and Yuzu, shielding them behind him as they're suddenly been surrounded by a group of beings, but they're hidden in shadow. Isshin tells them to leave his daughters alone (implying familiarity), but a voice simply states that they need to come with them. One of the figures moves a bit into the moonlight and from behind we see a white haori, with the symbol for the Zero Squad on its back.
Meanwhile Ichigo and friends are walking home after their night of celebration, still in very high spirits. Ichigo suddenly stops short however with an ominous feeling. Still not sinking in that he's feeling some reaitsu again, all he has is a dreadful premonition, and he takes off for home at a full sprint.
Ichigo bursts into the home but finds no trace of his father or his sisters. He calls their names but its useless, they're disappeared. Ichigo has no clue what happened but he can't shake the feeling that its bad, and for the first time since he lost his powers in the battle against Aizen, he feels completely helpless. In a fit of sadness and rage he screams, and something snaps inside of him, and he's overwhelmed with power flooding through him once more. With his basic abilities returning Ichigo looks up, and his eyes begin to perceive a figure appearing before him, and he finds himself face to face with Rukia once more.
I'm probably going to be way, way off, but with the break I needed something to do.

Ichigo is sleeping in his bed peacefully, a dark mysterious figure quietly enters his room. He stands over Ichigo, "You look so calm, but I can't do this without you. Sorry Ichigo Kurosaki." The person does something and they are transported to what looks like the Dangai.
Some more chanting occurs and both Ichigo and this mystery man are glowing in black flames. The person thrusts his hands inside Ichigo and begins pulling something out, Ichigo awakens in extreme pain. From his expression you would think he was about to explode due to the intensity of the pain.
After a few seconds there is a massive explosive force of reiatsu as Ichigo's powers are forcefully returned. Ichigo faints, he is then transported back to his bed and the person leaves.
The following morning Ichigo wakes as if from a terrible nightmare. He wonders to himself if it was all just a bad dream but suddenly notices he can sense all the spiritual beings in Karakura town.
He jumps from his bed but just as he is about to leave his room the mystery person appears in front of him. Ichigo is shocked. "Do not be afraid, Ichigo. We have a lot to talk about but I need for you to remain calm."
Ichigo tries to drop kick him but it's blocked and they are now suddenly somewhere on the outskirts of Karakura town. "Ichigo Kurosaki, it is essential that you stop this now and listen carefully." Isshin suddenly appears and launches a massive Getsuga Tenshou against our mystery figure.
"This is exactly what I wanted to avoid, long time no see Isshin!"

It will skip to 20,000 in the future after Aizen gets out and causes trouble again. That way Kubo can create a whole new cast, and along with them their Zanpakutoh, distant relatives and of coarse all the merchandise that will make him more money than God.
Honestly, considering the brilliant' plot twists and edge-of-your-seat-unpredictability this manga is oh so famous for, I'm guessing Aizen will somehow use this 'Avici's power as his own (because getting there was his plan all along)and just like [I]every [I] movie he will fuse with it into a giant fortress monster.
We'll be treated another 50 chapter fight until they finally figure out to kill Aizen for good and Ichigo will take his place as God of everything.
I hope to God I am wrong about this.
What I'm HOPING for is, as much as I love Aizen-sama, for him to just stay wherever the hell he is ( no pun intended) and Urahara to be Like " Oh hey, thanks for figuring out the Hougokyo for me." and become the villain who has to be taken out by the shinigami and Vaizards without Ichigo. (Oh but that's wishful thinking isn't it?)
I don't like the idea of Urahra as a bad guy but the irony of Aizen insulting him for wasting his genius would be more than worth it.
