Chapter 1: New opportunity

"Kurosaki-san, I'm sorry to inform this to you but you're fired." A man who appeared to be in his mid-40s and had black hair with a few strands starting to turn gray dropped that bomb to a certain young man standing in front of him , his tone of voice calm and deep containing a certain amount of sadness.

''But boss! Please tell me the reason for this decision. I did not do anything wrong from what I remember! " The teenager with orange hair that was only wearing a white T-shirt and black pants, Kurosaki Ichigo, answered frantically.

''I'm deeply sorry Kurosaki-san, you're an honest worker, but the truth is that I'm losing several clients because of the... attention you've been receiving from the different groups in this city, I beg you to not insist on trying to keep this job. Goodbye Kurosaki-san, I wish you luck. ''

''Boss, wait a momen-!' "Before Ichigo finished completing what he was about to say, the front door was gently closed. Listening to the sound of the lock, Ichigo stood there, staring at empty air for several seconds, he then clenched his fists tightly, feeling as if the skin of his palms were being pulled out by his own nails.

"God damn it!" He shouted, frustration leaking from him in waves.

This was already the third job he was fired in less than two months. Being honest, Ichigo had thought that in this case things would be different. The cafeteria had a quiet and pleasant working environment, the staff were all friendly and did not discriminate him due to his hair color or his constant scowl. The job might have had nothing to do with fighting but Ichigo had taken the hang of it as fast as the speed at which he had learned Bankai. Everything seemed to be going well, but when you are someone named Kurosaki Ichigo, problems always seem to follow you wherever you go.

It didn't take too long for several groups of thugs that he had defeated in the past to discover where Ichigo was working and began to go after him daily in search of revenge. Ichigo was always able to deal with them without any problem, but the bastards, even after being beaten to unconsciousness, continued their attacks ceaselessly, causing damage to the cafeteria with each attack they did on the teenager, not to mention that the rest of the staff and customers were scared, which led to the current situation.

A slight buzz followed by several vibrations in the pocket of his pants interrupted the recap of events that was happening in his mind. Fishing his cell phone from his pocket, Ichigo saw the name Kurosaki Clinic glowing on the screen. Running a hand through his orange hair and letting out a small sigh, he answered the call.

''Yeah?''

''Hi Onii-chan! '' The soft, lively voice of his younger sister reached his ears from the other end of the line.

"Hi Yuzu, something happened?"

''I was just wondering if you could please drop by the convenience store after your work? I need some ingredients.'' Ichigo shook his head.

''No problem, just tell me what you need Yuzu and regarding my work... I was just fired a few minutes ago. '' He admitted to the younger Kurosaki.

''What?! Onii-chan, you're such a hard worker, why would your boss fire you?! " Even though she had never met the man, Yuzu began to complain about the old boss of her beloved Ichi-nii, saying things like that he did not deserve an employee as incredible as her brother. Ichigo moved the phone away from his ear, letting his younger sister continue to vent until she was completely satisfied. After she was out of breath and noticed that her brother was not responding, Yuzu took big puffs of air and calmed down "It's nothing to be discouraged about, Onii-chan. I'm sure you'll find a new job in the blink of an eye. I know! Why don't we have some rice with curry tonight? I know it's your favorite." Ichigo's expression softened, a small smile forming on his lips.

''Sounds great, thanks Yuzu.''

''Hehehe, no need to thank me Onii-chan.'' Yuzu giggled. ''I'm going to send the list of ingredients for you via line, I'll see you later!'' Closing the cell phone and putting it back into his pocket after the call ended, Ichigo started his walk to the convenience store. It had been less than an hour since the orange sunset that was covering the entire city of Karakura had given way to the dark, silent night. The streets through Ichigo walked were mostly empty, the only sounds he'd heard for most of the ride being the noise of his own footsteps and occasional mewing of some stray cats.

It didn't take long for the convenience store to appear in his line of sight. Ichigo grabbed a small basket at the entrance and checked the list of ingredients that Yuzu sent to his line. The store was quiet, not counting the attendant behind the counter, Ichigo spotted only 3 more people. He went through the shelves, picking corianders, potatos, onions, pod, carrots, butter and curry cubes. After checking the list one more time to make sure he was not forgetting anything, Ichigo headed for the counter, stopping just behind a woman with dark red hair tied in a twin tail.

Whre it was finally his turn, Ichigo finally put the basket on top of the counter, watching from the corner of his eye as the woman left. Turning his gaze to the attendent who was almost finishing with the products, he noticed something to his right and saw some perfectly arranged chocolate bars inside a small shelf.

''I think I'll get one for dessert after dinner.'' he thought, picking up the bar of chocolate mixed with peanuts and placing it close to the food that had yet to be checked.

''The final price to pay is of 1.423 yen sir. '' The man behind the counter who held a bored expression on his face said to him. Opening his wallet, Ichigo grimaced, there was not much left of his last salary, he would have to start hunting for a new job immediately. Giving the exact amount to the attendant, the former substitute shinigami left the store unhurriedly.

Feeling the fresh air hit his face, he let out a small sigh.

"Well, I can start looking for good job opportunities tomorrow, for now it would better to get back home soon, Yuzu can start to get worried."

Walking by the small parking lot of the shop, he noticed a black car still parked. The door of the driver's seat was opened and standing right next to it was a female figure.

''Oh, the woman from before, must be going home too.'' he analyzed with some indifference. His eyes then noticed something else, a new figure dressed in jeans and a black jacket. His head was covered by a hood of the same color. From the silhouette, the figure looked like a man. He was approaching the woman from behind with caution. A motorcycle passed through the street at a relatively high speed. Still staring at the figure, Ichigo's narrowed eyes widened when he saw the light from the headlight of the motorcycle being reflected by an object the stranger was holding and that appeared to be the same size as his hand.

''A knife?!'' He thought in alarm, but before he even finished his line of thought, his body had already begun to move. The teenager might no longer have his shinigami powers and was now just an ordinary human, but his instincts that were sharpened by countless battles were still there, waiting to be used. Combine sharp instincts with physical prowess on the same level or even superior to that of an Olympic athlete and voila, you have a young man that is almost super human by normal standards.

The robber, who was about to touch the woman's shoulder and put the knife he was holding against her throat, had no chance against the orange-haired teen. A blink of the man's eyes was what it took for Ichigo to approach him like a jaguar and hit the man's nose with his knee. Blood flew in the air as the sound of bone breaking rang out in the small place, followed by the robber's cries of anguish. Kicking the knife that had fallen from the man's hand away, Ichigo placed his right foot on the stranger's chest. The pressure on his chest made the man, still holding his crushed nose, look up. Seeing the scary scowl on Ichigo's face, he let out a terrified squeak.

''You know, robbery, even though being a small crime, is still against the law, and I'm sure unless you're a police officer, you're not allowed to have things like knives. From what I can see, I don't think that you're a cop." Ichigo said with irony. He then focused his attention on the woman who watched them with an expression of surprise. Ichigo actually did not even know how she could see them since both of her eyes were closed. Frighteningly, a disturbing comparative image with Ichimaru Gin appeared like a flash in his head for a second. "Hey! Lady!" He called to the woman, startling her a little. "Could you please call an ambulance?" She stared at him in surprise for a moment, but nodded in agreement. "Thanks."Turning back to the thief, Ichigo gave him a predatory smile. "Well, I hope that you are prepared for the ass kicking that I will apply on you now."

Grabbing the man by the collar of his shirt and forcibly lifting him up, Ichigo sent him another scary smile and prepared his fist.

''Here we go."

The twin tailed woman could only watch as the orange haired man, who was just a boy that probably was still in high school, began to apply the biggest ass whopping she had ever seen in her entire life. The screams of pain from the thief that contained fear etched into them were the only thing that could be heard in the starless night.

''Was that really all that happened?'' The policeman sitting in front of Ichigo asked, making the teen grunt. Turns out that the thief was not able to withstand and lost consciousness after the fifth or sixth punch. The teenager then contacted the police and kept the man immobilized until they arrived. The woman who was saved by him chose to wait with the young man so she could give her point of view of the situation. When the police officers arrived, they handcuffed the thief and asked for both Ichigo and the dark haired woman to accompany them to the police station and give their testimony.

''Yes! That was all! It's the third time you ask that question!'' He said, grabbing a handful of his hair with his hands and messing them up in exasperation. The policeman raised both hands in front of his body defensively.

"Hey, you don't need to be so rude kid, I'm just doing my job." Ichigo let out a long sigh.

'' Yeah, I know, sorry about that.'' The cop gave him a friendly smile.

"Long day huh?''

''You have no idea.'' Closing the notebook where he was writing the teenager's testimony, the policeman got up and stretched his body.

''Mah, that should be enough, sorry for taking so much of your time boy, you can go now.'' Opening the door, he gave way to Ichigo, who nodded to him and left the room. Walking through the corridors of the police station, he was about to leave the building but was suddenly stopped by a female voice.

''Wait a second please!'' It was the woman he had saved at the convenience store, she was running toward him. Ichigo could not help but blush and look away. It was when he noticed how all the men in the hallway fixed their eyes on only one spot of the woman's body, her huge breasts that swayed endlessly as she ran. An expression of pure disgust formed in his face. Sending a look full of murderous intent toward them, he succeeded in frightening them as they all turned their attentions to anything but the dark-haired woman.

"Tch, not only are they a bunch of perverts but also cowards." He snorted mentally.

Facing the gasping woman, Ichigo waited a few minutes, giving her time to catch her breath.

'' I just wanted to thank you properly. How about I pay you something to eat as a reward?" The ex-shinigami scratched the back of his head.

"Look, thank you for the offer, but you don't really need to, not to mention that being able to put a bastard like that in his right place was a reward on it's own considering how my day has been so far."

''By the way you're talking, it seems like you've had a really bad day.''

''I just got kicked out of my third job in less than two months.'' Ichigo spoke flatly.

''Ah...'' The woman began, somewhat reluctant. ''It's such a pity, I'm sorry to hear that young man.'' But then, a cheerful smile graced her lips. ''I had an idea, and it's a better reward than free meal, would you like to have an interview at where I work? Turns out I'm the manager of a restaurant." Ichigo stared at her in surprise.

''Huh? Are you sure? I know you have good intentions and everything, but I'll tell you now that because of my looks I attract all kinds of attention, and I'm not talking about the good kind." Ichigo warned her. He then found it best to inform her briefly about the events of his last job, not wanting the same situation to occur again. The older woman simply shook her head and laughed.

"Don't worry, weird and crazy things are always happening there, delinquents will not be a problem." She said with a big smile. Opening her beige bourse, she took out a small card and handed it to Ichigo. "Here is all the information, from phone number to the address, I hope to see you there on monday boy!" Only leaving these excited words behind, the young woman left the police station, disappearing from Ichigo's sight.

Staring at the card in his hands, he smirked.

''Well, I think today's curry is going to be used to celebrate this turn of events.''

He was really happy that he got a new job opportunity so soon, but the woman's words for some reason caused him a sense of discomfort.

"She said crazy things are always going on there. It can't be that bad... right?''

Long time no see huh? I had this idea for quite a while now, actually, since I started reading Floor Ni Maou Ga Imasu(There's a demon lord on the Floor). This story takes place a year after Aizen's fall and as you can see Ichigo is not working for Ikumi.

About pairings, those who read Floor ni Maou may have thought that I'm going to pair him with the manager...That's not the case, pairing will be Ichigo x Salyu, I just love her, she is such a fun character, so if you wanted a harem sorry to be the bringer of bad news but Ichigo won't have one.

I've already sent a request to add Floor Ni Maou to the anime/manga category, while we wait for that to happen(and I hope it won't take too long), I'll keep this one as a Bleach x Anime Xovers crossover.

Updates will occur every two weeks in either saturday or sunday.

To any of you that may have read When a God and a Goddess Collide...Yeah, that story is on Hiatus and I'm thinking of putting it to adoption, I was initially going to rewrite everything but I lost interest in Fate/Grand Order and so my motivation to write it just disappeared too.

Next week I'll update Assassin and the Demon(my Akame Ga kill story with Lubbock as the main character) and now that I've finally been able to download the rest of the books of the Skullduggery Pleasant series, I'll write a new chapter of A Cup Of Whisky Can Make Even Strangers Turn Into Friends.

If you're a writer and is willing to take up challenges for a Bleach x Mondaiji Tachi crossover, please check Shinigami in Little Garden, I dump all of my Bleach x Mondaiji ideas there.

Also, would anyone be willing to beta read this story? Send me a PM if you're interested.

Hope that everyone liked the idea, see you all in the next chapter!
