My Body Is Your Shield – A Bleach Fan fiction
Pairing: Ichigo x OC, OC x various parings (you'll understand as you read)
Rating: M (For Language and other things...) :)
Sprinters are people that live to help people in need. If they find someone that they really care about and want to protect- they cling to that person. They are literally attached to
the person- the person can't see them though unless they want to be seen. They live in a world called Fae. They can live forever- whenever they die they are reborn in either the
form of a male or female. Sprinters can stay with the people the cling to (their masters) for as long as they want to. There is only one rule- you can't fall in love with your Master. (Again, you'll understand as you read. I suck at explaining this-obviously *blush*)
(if you've ever watched URABOKU, do you know in the beginning when they show Luka holding Yuki? Imagine that to be Shusei and Ichigo when she is attached to him.)

Chapter 1:
Ichigo Kurosaki quickly dashed to the left to avoid a large, sharp claw. This Hollow was stronger than normal and plus it was holding a small child hostage. Ichigo had to be extra careful not to harm the child, while trying to fight the strong Hollow.
The Hollow laughed manically and launched itself at Ichigo- careful to keep the child in front of himself for protection. Ichigo grimaced and leaped out of the way again. He was soaring
through the air trying to figure out a plan, when he felt something reach out a grab his leg. Ichigo turned around and saw the Hollow had sprung tentacles from his mouth.
"What the hell?" Ichigo yelled, as he felt himself being yanked to the ground. He fell so hard, that a crater was created when he landed. Ichigo winced and struggled to his feet, only to be
assaulted by more tentacles. Ichigo raised Zangetsu and attempted to cut through the creature's arms, but they kept coming.
Six tentacles flew towards him, piercing his chest. Ichigo howled in pain and threw back his head.
"Dammit!" Ichigo yelled. "You fucking coward, let the kid go and fight me!"
"Now why would I do that?" Asked the Hollow. "Its ssssso much more fun this way." The hollow's voice was slithery and thick. Ichigo hated the sound of it. He struggled against his constraints, ready to rip the hollow apart.
"You're sick." "Ichigo spat out, still struggling.
The hollow laughed. "I know."
"Bakudo number 1! Sai!"
Ichigo looked up and saw a flash of black just as the Hollow froze. He roared vehemently, struggling to no avail against the Kido. The black flash returned and the tentacles retracted before falling lifeless, on the ground. Ichigo also fell and landed unceremoniously on his rear-end.
Rukia landed gracefully in front of the hollow, placing her Zanpakto back in its sheath. Ichigo had to admit he was glad to see his friend. She couldn't have arrived at a better time.
"You useless idiot." Rukia spat out. "Do I always have to come rescue your sorry ass?"
She just had to ruin the moment by opening her mouth. Ichigo felt his anger rise. He glared and Rukia and stalked towards her.
"Shut up and let me do my job." Ichigo raised Zangetsu and charged at the Hollow. The Hollow growled and was about to raise his arm, to shield himself with the child, when he noticed he didn't have an arm anymore.
Rukia smiled and sheathed her blade, holding the child in her arms. "I'm sorry, are you looking for this?"
The Hollow roared angrily and tried to run, but Ichigo blocked his path. Ichigo smirked and brought Zangetsu down on his enemy's head. The hollow screeched as the blade pierced his head, before fading away in an explosion of dust.
Ichigo landed beside Rukia. "Thanks." He said shortly. "Let's get this kid home."
Shusei Saiyato felt completely drained. Her chest ached from where Ichigo had been pierced. Her breath was coming in gasps and she could barely stand. Protecting him used to be so easy, but now that he was fighting almost every night, she couldn't handle the psychical stress.
Protecting him was too much of a strain on her body now. When he'd first become a Soul Reaper, the strain wasn't so bad, but now that he had become more daring, Shusei's body couldn't handle the pain.
She had to see a healer almost every day. Often she would have to leave Ichigo just to go back home to Fae so she could regain her strength. If things kept going the way they were going, she would have to take another trip home- her second one this month.
If Ichigo didn't stop fighting so much, he was going to be the death of her. Not that it mattered though, she would just be reborn. Even so, Shusei didn't want to die again. She was just getting used to her new life.
Shusei hated having to keep adjusting to life after she came back from the dead. It always felt so awkward. She felt as if she were always missing important things while her body regenerated itself. It was so heartbreaking at times. Imagine having to leave the one you love, promising you'll come back soon, only to return and find them in the arms of someone else.
Shusei knew exactly what that felt like; she'd experienced it many times. The time it took for her body to regenerate varied anywhere from 1 week to 10 years. It was trying on both sides. Shusei promised herself she would try her best not to fall in love again.
It was hard, especially when her current master was so gorgeous.
Shusei had fallen in love with Ichigo Kurosaki the second she saw him crying over his mother's dead body seven years ago. She'd been with him ever since. She held him while he cried at night. She protected him, took hits for him, and helped him. Shusei felt so protective over Ichigo. She needed him probably more than he needed her. She knew it was forbidden to have such feeling for your master, but she couldn't help it. She'd already broken that law plenty of times with her previous masters anyway.
Suddenly, Shusei felt a sharp pain in her chest. She needed to call for a healer from Fae, quickly. She quickened her step, hurrying down the street towards her apartment complex. He vision was blurring.
No, please, I just need to make it to my room! She thought, breaking into a run. Her apartment building was in sight now, but she still didn't have the strength to make it there. She gathered her spiritual energy and used Flash Step. She appeared in her room and crumpled to the floor in fetal position.
Her body was giving up on her. The physical strain was too much. She was going to die if she didn't take a break from Ichigo.
But she wouldn't. She would keep protecting him, even if it killed her.
