Chapter 1: Berry meets a Shark

Karakura Town 15:00 (3PM)

Walking down a sidewalk in the fall late afternoon, an orange haired teen stops and looks at a group of skateboarding delinquents. Looking to the ground next to a lamp post the orange haired teen sees a small vase with flowers that has been knocked over and now has a crack in it. Next to the vase a girl dressed in a pink dress and blonde pig tails floats looking at him with sad eye and tears in her eyes. The orange haired teen walks over toward the delinquents with an angry scowl on his face before abruptly kicking the leader of the other two in his back so hard you can hear the bones being crushed and cracked. The other two look at their boss go flying then to the orange haired teen.

"What the hell man?" Says the shorter and fatter of the two left conscious, as they look at the orange haired teen and then back to their leader. The teen cracks his knuckles with a huff and a dark aura seems to emit from him.

"Tell me what that is over there" He says pointing toward the vase for a second before rolling his neck. "Answer me wrong and you'll regret it." He adds as he walks toward them, the dark aura that he emits takes the form of a demonic looking mask that only those that really feel threatened can see.

"I-I-It's a vase for remembering a person that has died here..." Says the taller delinquent that has shaggy black hair that goes to his shoulders. The next thing he knows it that he is flying back 4 feet, the teen with orange hair standing in front of where he was with his fist in a ball and arm stretched.

"Correct! Now explain to me why it was knocked over." He says as he looks toward the short stubby delinquent. The demonic mask forming behind him with glowing eyes causing the delinquent to scream.

"Eeeeh! W-W-We were skateboarding a-and we m-mu-must have kn-knonked it over..." He stutters out as he watches the orange haired teen stop and point to his side.

"Now tell me, who's going to apologize to her?!" He yells as the girl with pigtails starts to appear next to him with blood seeping from her head. The fat delinquent screams and shakes the tall one waking him only to add to the screaming. They get up and grab their leader and run for the hills, leaving the orange haired teen and the girl to stand and snicker. "Sorry about using you like that, but those guys shouldn't bother this area anymore." He says to the girl who just smiles at him before replying.

"That's ok and thank you again for that sir." She says in a shy voice but giggles slightly seeing a tick mark form on his forehead.

"I'll stop by tomorrow to put some new flowers in, and it's not sir, my name is Ichigo." He says in a stern voice and waves to her as he walks away, the young girl smiling stands there and vanishes after he gets some distance.

As Ichigo walks home he smiles inwardly as he makes his way home. 'I'm glad I could help that little girl, I just hope she moves on to the afterlife soon.' He thinks to himself, looking around he sees more people floating around, a small groan escapes him as he mentally says to himself. 'My name is Ichigo Kurosaki and I can see the spirits of dead people.' He keeps walking to his house without even thinking about the rest floating around.

As he opens the door he looks around not hearing his normal insane father coming to greet him in his usual way. He stops as he walks past the kitchen and sees a young girl roughly 11 with orange hair cooking. "Oh Hai Onii-chan dinners almost ready." She says in a happy tone as she smiles to him.

"Thanks Yuzu where is Karen and dad?" Ichigo asks as he walks to the fridge and grabs a bottle of water.

"Oh they went shopping; I'll call when dinner is ready." Yuzu says as she watches him head up to his room. For those who don't know it Yuzu is Ichigo's sister, Onii-chan is older brother full.

As Ichigo enters his room he lays back and looks at his ceiling. Shortly after he falls asleep for a short time.

Somewhere in Karakura Town an hour later:

As the sun goes down the shadows of the buildings grow, in an alley way a crack forms in the air. Shortly after the crack starts to groan and expand before opening and making a black hole leading to nothingness. Soon a figure comes walking through to hole with long waist length blonde hair. The figure is curvy, but it's almost hidden by the bone armor covering its body. A full bone mask with shark like teeth covers its face and extends down its chest; the bone armor like covering seems to round out as if the figure has a rather large chest. The arms of the figure are covered in the same bone like armor but the right arm is a large fin like blade about the size of the figure. Going down the armor stops at the stomach and shows a well-toned brown skin stomach and then a white bone like skirt, white bone boots with a black line going down the sides finish the figures outfit.

With a deep breath the figure lets out a very relaxed sigh, the sound though was more feminine then anything. Looking to the sun the blonde haired woman turns as if sensing something and without the slightest hint of motion vanishes in a static buzz.

Little girl's street two hours later:

The sun has now set and the moon starts to shine even as its crescent shape becomes seeable in the cloudy night. As the street lights flick on a black vortex seems to swirl into existence next to a lamp post. A little girl with blonde pigtails runs to hide behind a lamp post that has a small vase next to it. Soon a large black arm reaches through the vortex, then another and soon they strain as a large white mask starts to come forth from the vortex. The masked creature was all black, with the head like a fish. It was about 10 to 11 feet tall; its arms were almost half that in length, but what really drew attention was the giant hole in its body where the heart should be. It let out a roar that shook the glass of the surrounding buildings.

Its yellow and black eyes scanned the area around it through the large mask, it stopped and looked at the girl for a minute before the masks mouth opened and a large set of teeth were shown, it licked it's chops and roared as it went after the girl. She turns to run only for the creature to smash the lamp post and grab hold of her, the last thing the girl sees is pitch black nothingness as the creature bites down on her and rips her in two. The sound of bones snapping and blood being spilt.

As the creature devours the girl blew particles fill the air and are absorbed into the creature. "Where…is it…so strong…must feed…" It growls out as it lumbers down the street still chewing on the girl as it follows the scent of a strong soul.

Kurosaki Clinic:

Lying on his bed asleep Ichigo is woken by the most annoying sound in the world to him. His door swings open and a black haired man dressed in a white lab coat, blue jeans and black loafers comes flying in with his left leg extended in a kick.

"Iiiiiccccchhhhhiiiiiiiiigggggg-" He doesn't finish as Ichigo wakes up and grabs the flying man by his left ankle and flings him out his bedroom door and into the hall way. A loud crash and small amount of drywall dust shows the man in a crumpled heap on the floor.

"What do you want old man, and do you always have to attack me when either of us comes home?" Ichigo asks as he looks at his father with utter distain. His father looking like he had been turned into a bag of bones on the floor coughs and tries to get up, only to fall back down in a very painful position.

"Well done...my son... I have...taught you well..." His father coughs and groans as the pain sets in, the drywall that he had hit now crumbles down leaving a hole in the hallway. Yuzu walks over grabbing their father and sighs.

"Come on dad I'll get the bandages." She says as she drags him away and a black haired girl dressed in a black shirt, walks by them heading down the stairs.

"Yuzu leave him that's what he gets for attacking Ichi-nii every day." She says as she watches Yuzu take her dad to the connected clinic. (Nii at the end of a name is also older brother.)

"But Karen-Chan dad just wants us to be ready for anything." Yuzu says to her twin who rolls her eyes as she goes down stairs.

With that all out the way Ichigo makes a mental note to fix the wall in the hallway and lays back on his bed. Without realizing it he falls asleep again.

Outside Kurosaki clinic:

Sitting on the lamppost out front of the clinic the blonde woman giggles at the antics of the orange haired teen and his family, listening to their interactions and watching the teen when he lays back down. 'Hmmm he is definitely strong but does he even know anything about the two worlds?' She thinks to herself as she rubs her neck and sighs. The sound of footsteps breaks her out of her thoughts as she looks around she notices that it's coming from the street just in front of the clinic. A large fish headed monster was now looming toward the house.

Down the street from the Clinic:

Just down the street from the clinic the Fish head monster was moving closer to the clinic and the source of its growing hunger. The creature howls into the night's sky and throws a punch at the front of the Kurosaki clinic, smashing a hole in the wall the size of a truck and allowing it to grab Karen and swing her around. Yuzu and their dad come down in time to see Karen be lifted off the ground and thrown around, smacking her dad into the wall and knocking him out while throwing Yuzu into the hall up the stairs. Fish head howls again and gets ready to devour Karen as it raises her up to its mouth, only to stop as a Baseball bat slams into its arm. Standing in front of it was an orange haired teen with a scowl on his face a black shirt with a 13 on it in white graphics and black jeans with a chain running from his pocket on his left side to his left back pocket.

"Alright asshole, drop her!" He demands and holds the bat at the ready to strike the creature.

Ichigo's room, just before the attack:

Ichigo rolls onto his side and wakes up just in time to hear a loud howl and crash. Without a thought he jumps off the bed and runs to his door. Soon as he opens the door he sees Yuzu stumbling toward his door, she looks like she was thrown around and now Ichigo is getting angry.

"Yuzu, what happened?!" He asks her as he tries to hold her up; she's fighting her own weight and struggling to stand.

"Onii-chan something smashed into the wall in the living room...it...Karen...daddy..." She stutters out the last bit before passing out in his arms.

Ichigo growls and sets her down gently as he heads down stairs. When he sees his dad unconscious and Karen being held by a large fish headed creature. Grabbing the baseball bat next to the kitchen he makes a mental note thank Karen for leaving it out where he can get it. He runs in with the bat cocked back and ready to slam it, when he sees it about to eat Karen. With as much force as he can muster, he slams the bat down onto the creatures arm, hearing a sickening crunch come from the spot that connected with the bat.

"Hey asshole, drop her." He says cocking the bat back again, only to be blindsided and thrown into the broken wall. As he collides with the broken wall he feels his back be cut open and he coughs up a little blood.

"You...your power...give it to me!" It roars and lunges at him; Ichigo braces himself for the attack he glares at the creature. Before the creature can smack Ichigo again a white blur lands in front of them and a shower of blood sprays the area. "RAAAAAHH!" It yells in pain as it grabs the stump of its other arm.

Standing in-front of Ichigo and the creature was the blonde haired woman with her right arm-blade covered in blood. In her left arm she now held Yuzu Kurosaki who was unconscious, turning to Ichigo she could see relief on his face now that his sister wasn't in the creature's hand.

"Be gone Hollow or die." The woman states in a calm stoic voice that almost sends chills down Ichigo's wounded back.

"Back off...it's my prey!" The creature now known as a hollow yells as it holds its wounded arm. The woman shakes her head and brings her right arm up, as she does a yellow orb forms at the tip of her arm-blade.

"Cero..." The woman says as she almost vaporizes the hollow in a single blast, the beam goes down the street and dissipates after a second before doing any other harm. As the dust settles she turns to Ichigo and Yuzu, walking to them she extends her left hand to him. "Can you stand?"

Ichigo looks at her slightly confused before taking her hand and being pulled up. "I can...thank you for saving us..." He says as she sets Yuzu in his arms, with a groan he takes her and limps toward couch with her.

"Stay here..." She says as he sets Yuzu down, in a static buzz the blonde is now gone. Ichigo goes to the storage closet and grabs some boards, hammer and nails before starting to fix the giant hole in the house. Almost half way through boarding up the hole a static buzz sounds out front and a knock comes at the front door.

Ichigo pokes his head through the hole and looks toward the door to find the mysterious blonde standing there with three fin like extensions on her shoulders and back. Instead of her fin like blade right arm, it now seemed a normal human arm. "Oh it's you...come on in." He pants out as he goes back in and starts hammering his board into place. As the female walks in the door she stops and notices that there is blood pooling underneath the teen.

"You should rest..." She says and gently brushes her fingers against the wound on his back. Ichigo doubles over in pain and drops the hammer on his foot. This now causing him to yell and cuss as he falls on his face. The blonde giggles and sets the last of the boards with little effort to help him. "Let me see your wound..." She says but soon realizes that Ichigo has passed out on the ground, she kneels beside him and notices that the wound is still bleeding. 'Hmmm so much will to protect, I can sympathize with him.' She thinks before her right hand glows a slight yellow color and she gently pushes the energy into his body. The wound closes up and stops bleeding, as the energy does its job, before she can do anymore for the family she hears the father groan and start to stir awake. In a burst of static noise she leaves and appears on the lamp post outside again.

"What the hell happened to the house!?" Isshin yells waking up Yuzu and Karen but only to see Ichigo passed out on the ground with the hammer and box of nails at his feet. The blonde giggles again before opening a black hole next to her. As she goes through the front door to the house opens and Isshin, Yuzu and Karen run out looking at the boarded up hole. Karen looks up just in time to see the blonde hair flow into the black portal and she waves up to it as the portal closes. Silently wondering who that was and was it real, they all go in and wake Ichigo and he walks out side looking for the blonde woman, only to find she's no longer there. What he does find is blonde hair stuck on one of the boards that he didn't put up, gently tugging it free he looks at it before it turned to yellow particles and drifted into the sky.

"So she was a spirit...wonder why she looked like a skeleton soldier?" He thought aloud and walked back inside then reached to his back and noticed there was no pain. "She healed me too?" He asked again but this time he got a response.

"That's not all she did Kingy." A dark ominous voice said as he looked around and found no one, the only thing her heard then was dark cackles from inside his head.
