Find out in A Protecters Soul

Ichigo pov:

It's always the same dream every night.

It starts out when I was a little kid, and my dad was dropping me and the girls off on my first day of 4th grade, and their first day of kindergarten

Yuzu was so excited, and Karin was a lot like me and hated school.

Funny, she's always been a lot like me.

But anyway the old man told me something I'll never forget, almost like it's been burned into my brain.

"Ichigo, do you know what your name means?"

"No Dad, I always thought it meant strawberry...that's what all the dumb kids at school say..."

"Haha well yeah it means that too, but that's not the reason we named you that."

"Well then why?"

"The real meaning is number one guardian or "He who protects" son... it's your job now to protect your sisters here ok?"

It was the first time since my mom died that I gave him a real smile.

"Yeah Dad. I promise I will... to the day I die."

Then the old man gave me the smile.

We all know it and seen it.

The one I miss more then anything.

Then he scooped me up and said

"WELL ALRIGHT THEN THATS MY BOY! Now go play and remember what I told you!"

Then it cuts to that day...

The one where he died to protect us all.

The one where I lost him.

He was fighting Aizen with everything he had...it was amazing.

Made me wonder why I ignored a lot of his advice on fighting.

Then with one swipe Aizen took him down.

My Dad fell out of the sky like someone shot him.

"DAD!"

I see my self running to him and catching him.

I'll never forget it.

There was so much blood.

He still looked as strong as he did in the air as he was fighting Aizen.

Almost like a dog who just isn't ready to quit yet.

Then I heard his last words.

"Heh hey there... Ichigo...(cough) I guess this is goodbye son..."

This whole time he had his smile...The one he always gave me.

The one he flashed when I kicked him for goofing off, or figured out how good of a fighter I was, or saw me protect my sisters the way I did...

The one that showed me he was proud.

"Old man no! You're ok...you can beat this!"

I was begging him to stay, to not leave.

God who wouldn't! He was my Dad.

"No Ichigo... It's time I go be with your mom...I missed her so much(cough)... I love you so much... You and Karin and Yuzu... You three are always gonna be my world..."

"No Dad! Please! Don't leave me... I... I love you."

I was crying now.

It felt like the whole world was ending.

Well it kinda was I guess.

"Ichigo... Please... Tell Yuzu that she's my best and brightest...and tell Karin that... No matter how old she gets... She'll always be Daddys little girl... A-And Ichigo..."

This is when He grabbed my shoulder.

It was weird.

It was weak but powerful at the same time...

"Always be the man I taught you to be... Always protect your precious people... Especially your family... Until the day you die son... I love you three so much... ne-never forget that son."

Then the arm he was holding me with fell limp.

He was dead.

Through a river of tears I finally responded.

"Yeah Dad...I will."

every night I have this dream.

Then I wake up.

Maka pov:

Wow...

Thats all I could think of as Lord Death told me about the two Meisters he found in his mirror.

One was around the age of 13 or 14 with short black hair and a scowl plastered on her face.

I was stunned to silence when I saw the other one,presumably her brother.

He was around 6'3 with an extremely athletic build,not the kind you get from a gym,but the kind someone gets from years of fighting and handling a sword.

But the two most shocking things about him were his hair and his eyes.

His hair was long and a little messy and was a brilliant shade of orange. Now I'm used to odd hair colors at this point I mean look at Crona..but his was amazing. I guess you could compare it to the color of a sunset. Bright and georgeous.

Then I looked at his eyes. They were the eyes of a beaten warrior...I guess you could say. The kind that you saw from someone that had been beaten down by life.

The eyes didn't exactly fit on his handsome features though...it felt like the spark was missing from them.

As I mused about the kid Soul was trying to snap me out of whatever came over me...

"Maka...your drooling..."

Soul looked a little annoyed... I don't know why!

I don't give him that look when he's ogling at Blair!

I just give him a Maka chop and I'm done!

"Uh... I'm sorry..." I bow in respect for lord Death.

"Heh it's ok Maka! Believe it or not I actually need you and Soul to find this boy and ask if he and his two sisters would enroll here!" He says in a goofy happy voice.

"Why? He doesn't look so special to me. Just kinda tough." Soul says.

"Oh trust me this boys special. If my senses are correct he has the strongest soul wavelength I've ever came across." Lord Death says.

"Hold on... This kid with no formal training is stronger than even you and kid? I call bullshit." Soul states bluntly.

I swear sometimes I wish he'd show just a little tact...

"Trust me Soul I'm not wrong...now argue with me again and I'll Chop you into next week!" Lord death said as Soul cowers away...

If he thinks mine are bad he should see lord deaths.

"We'll be right on it sir!" I tell him but Lord Death stops us.

"Now hold on, there's a lot more I need to tell you, along with these two there are also three new weapons."

The mirror then shifted to a small girl around the same age as the dark haired one. This one had short honey brown hair with big brown eyes.

"This is the first weapon. I believe it to be the dark haired girls partner...they just don't know it yet..."

"So she doesn't even know she's a weapon yet? And you want her to be a part of the academy?" Soul asked

Then lord death raised his hand

"REAPER CHOP!"

After that Soul collapsed to the floor with a huge dent in his head and blood spurting out his white hair.

"Now that's what you get for interrupting AND talking back. Now as I was saying these two are extremely powerful, that's the reason why I wanted to invite them to the academy. Soul you will show her the ropes."

"Y-yes sirrr..." Soul replied as he laid in a heap on the ground half conscious.

"Now most importantly the boy. Have you ever heard of the soul reapers Maka?"

Who couldn't?

They were the most powerful warriors the world had ever seen.

They basically were angels in the books I've read, sending the good souls to heaven and the bad souls to the underworld.

"Yeah why?"

"This boy,could possibly have been one of the strongest among their ranks ever."

Wow...

How could a kid my age be a soul reaper?

It was my understanding you had to be dead to be a soul reaper.

Practically saying what I was thinking Soul asked

"How can you be a soul reaper if your not even dead yet?"

"Easy." Lord Death said "He was a substitute."

Wow they even have substitute soul reapers.

"Now finally for his two weapons, Soul I presume you know what a Zanpakuto is right?"

"Yeah, it's a dead demon weapon that had its power increased 10 fold and given to a soul reaper."

"Exactly! Now This boy has two demon weapons. One is his zanpakuto and the other is his 'inner hollow' that's been given a real form."

Hollow...

Those are supposed to be the most evil things around... And Lord death wants to allow someone with a hollow inside them to attend the academy?

"Now don't get that look on your face Maka! This hollow believe it or not, isn't that evil...he isn't exactly "good" but he only looks out for the boy."

"Should we go now lord death?" I ask

"Yes but allow me to give you their names! Gosh kids nowadays so impatient! now the sister names are Karin and Yuzu Kurosaki."

He then gave Soul and I both labeled pictures of them.

The dark haired one was Karin, while the brown haired one was Yuzu.

"And the boys name is Ichigo."

He then hands me a picture of the boy in a sleeveless shihakusho holding a black sword.

Lookimg at the picture I blushed...

Well a blush would be a understatement...more like my face went completely beet red.

"Geez Maka... You like this guy already..."Soul asked me smirking.

I hate it when he does that.

"MY BABY GIRL LIKES WHO?"

Thats when my RETARTED papa ran in.

"That red haired kid? Maka stay away from him! He looks like a little delinquent to me!"

"REAPER CHOP"

My papa then landed in a heap on the ground right next to Soul.

"Wow..." I said.

"Well you two! You should be off! Their address is written on the back of the photos I gave you! Have a nice time!"

With that we were shoved out the death room and back into the hall. Ready to start on our mission.
