Hello! The name's Artemis' Reaper, please enjoy my story.

This story takes place after the manga has ended in both worlds….

I don't own bleach or katekyo hitman reborn, just the annoying plot bunny.

"You've got to be kidding me…" 22 year old, Kurosaki Ichigo said as he stared at the annoying shopkeeper/shinigami standing at his door. "Good afternoon Ichi-kun~" Kisuke practically sang cheerfully. "Go away" was the instant reply. "My, my ichi-kun, don't be mean, we – well, you – have guests. This is Luche-san and Giotto-san. They've come a long way to ask for our help."

"No"

"….but – "

"No"

"They -"

"No"

"Ichigo - !"

"No"

Giotto chuckled softly at the scene, a little surprised that the young man hadn't slammed the door shut. Luche smiled softly as she watched the boy, however she hide her surprise well. When Kisuke said he knew the prefect person to help them, she hadn't expected this. The boy, Ichigo, had unconsciously awakened his flames, not only did the type surprise her but also the fact that he hadn't harmonised yet. Strangely enough, the second she sensed his flames, she thought of them.Giotto chose that moment to step forward and speak, "Kurosaki-kun would you at least hear us out?" Ichigo turned to him with a scowl, his frown seemed to deepen for a second before disappearing completely and with a sigh, he stepped aside a let them in.

Ichigo lead them through the mall apartment to the kitchen where a table and four chairs could be found. While his guests sat down, Ichigo busied himself by making tea. Giotto glanced around the room, noticing the scattered notes and books laying on every surface, "I hope you don't mind me asking, Kurosaki-kun, but what are you studying?" Ichigo glanced towards him with a surprised but thoughtful expression, "History and literature" he answered then looked around the room "Sorry the place is such a mess…I wasn't expecting visitors" he glared at Kisuke silently before turning away. Luche giggled softly as Giotto chuckled nervously.

The room fell silent as Ichigo finished the tea, placed it on the table and sat down, "Now can we please get back to business? I've got a project to finish"

"Ah, right, of course, back to business! We want you to help a few decedents of ours. When we first looked into it we realised that this enemy was messing with something they shouldn't, which is why we contacted Kisuke-san" Answered Luche. Ichigo nodded in understanding, "Okay, I get that but why ask me? You could've just asked Shunsui-san"

Kisuke fidgeted a bit, "You're right we could have but this matter is best handled by someone familiar with the human world" Ichigo sighed, "Okay…tell me everything."

0/0 O.O

"Good morning class. Due to unfortunate circumstances, Sora-sensei has resigned" shocked gasps filled the room, "but no worries, we have a replacement. Please come in Kurosaki-san" Hibari stepped aside as a tall man walked in.

He had shoulder length bright orange hair and brown-gold eyes. He wore a plain black shirt (the first few buttons undone) with a dark red tie and grey jeans…..He also looked extremely bored but if you paid close attention you would see the slight smirk that tugged his lips, "My name's Kurosaki Ichigo, nice to meet you".
