I'm going to be taking over this story from AlchemistLeigh95 because she's lost interest in it and we don't see each other enough to work on it together. To the new readers, welcome, and to our old readers, welcome back. Now some information for the new readers, there are a couple of pairings that you guys should know about! There will be Soul Evans x Momo Himamori, and then Karin Kurosaki x Toshiro Hitsugaya! I'll also be putting in some of the side characters from the two anime. I really hope you enjoy this story!

Chapter One
Momo's POV
It was late at night and I was sitting at my desk crying while writing a letter for my best friend, Toshiro Hitsugaya. It has been a few months since my captain, Aizen Souske, betrayed the Soul Society. I felt hurt and betrayed that he would do such a thing after I trusted him so wholeheartedly. I paused in my writing and let out a choked sob before continuing. I don't want to leave…but I have to. It's the only way I'll be able to get over Captain Aizen, I thought sadly.I finished writing the letter and picked it up to re-read it.
Dear Shiro,
I'm leaving. I can't stay here when everywhere I go I think of Captain Aizen. I don't know if I can ever get over this hurt…this betrayal that I feel about what he did. I loved him, Shiro, and I feel that if I stay here then I'll trying looking for him to be with him again. I'm sorry…but I must do this. Please, Toshiro…do not try to find me. I'll miss you.
Love, Momo
I snuck into the Squad 10 barracks and when I opened the door to Toshiro's office, I saw him sleeping in his chair with his head on his desk and I smiled sadly to myself. It was a nice change seeing the usually stern captain looking so cute and vulnerable. I placed the letter quietly on his desk and kissed his cheek. I leaned in close to his ear as he slept and whispered, "I'm sorry… Toshiro."
I left quickly and started heading to Squad 6 to use the senkaimon on Captain Kuchiki's property. It was difficult to sneak in unnoticed with other members of Squad 6 patrolling the area, but I managed and finally arrived at the Senkaimon. I took and deep breath and, without looking back, disappeared through the doors. It took a while, but I finally got to Karakura Town in the World of the Living. I didn't want to run into anyone who might know me, so I quickly shunpoed away and ended up in an unfamiliar city.
I immediately started running, as if someone from Soul Society was following me. I wasn't paying attention to where I was running and quickly crashed into someone, falling flat on my butt. Tears were still dripping down my pale face as I looked up at a boy with pure white hair, pointy teeth, and red eyes.
The boy looked no older than 16 and he looked sad. He was wearing a black jacket and orange t-shirt underneath, he had on brown pants, and he had a black band in his hair to keep his bangs out of his hair, but it wasn't doing a great job. I sat on the pavement, looking up at him with wide, scared eyes.
Soul's POV
The girl came out of nowhere! I was walking down the street wondering what I was going to do for supper when this girl in a black kimono and dark hair runs into me from behind. I took a step forward to keep from falling, but she wasn't so lucky and fell to the ground. She started to get up but then fell back down and just stared at me. Now that I could get a better look at her, I noticed that there were tear stains on her face and she looked a little scared.
"Are you ok?" I asked her as I extended my hand towards her.
She shook her head and ignored my hand. "I'm fine…" She said in a quiet, shaky voice.
"Are you sure? Why were you running?"
She hesitated then seemed to change her mind, "I'm running away from something…"
I paused for a moment. "Oh… Why? What's going on? Why were you crying?"
She looked at me, her eyes briefly flashing in fear. She absently wiped her tears away, then said, "You ask a lot of questions…despite the fact that we've only just met."
"I'm sorry… I just wanted to help…"
She looked at me for a few seconds, than hesitated as if thinking about something. She seemed to come to a decision and looked down, "I was running away from home because of something that happened and I couldn't stay there," she said softly.
"I know we just met and all, but do you think you could tell me?"
"You wouldn't understand, but I'll try my best to explain. I'm not from this world. In my home there is a civil war going on. My captain, and the man I thought I loved, betrayed the Soul Society, my home. It caused an uproar and when I confronted him, he stabbed me in the chest almost killing me. Since then, Soul Society hasn't felt like home to me so I ran away." She explained.
I stood there, a little stunned at first, and then I recovered. "Uh… I guess your right I don't really understand. But I've had a similar experience. I've lost the girl that I've loved for a long time. She died a few months ago. She was my partner…" I looked down at the ground and shuffled my feet a bit.
She looked at me sympathetically, "Oh… my name is Momo Hinamori by the way," she said holding out her hand.
"I'm Soul Evans," I replied, shaking her hand.
She gave me a small smile, "It's nice to meet you, Soul. Anyways, I have to leave quickly before the Soul Society catches up with me, if they have already started looking for me. I'm sorry." She turned around and started walking away.
I watched her go, stunned by her abruptness. I ran up to her and grabbed her hand, "Wait! Do they have any reason to think you would come here?"
She thought about it for a minute before answering, "Well… No, I guess not. I came here without meaning to. Where am I anyways?" She asked.
"You're in Death City. How could you not know where you are?" I added.
"Well, I wasn't really thinking about where I was going. I just used my shunpo and ended up here. I just wanted to get away from Soul Society," she said quietly.
"Well, if they wouldn't think to look for you here why don't you stay for a bit, and think about your next step?" I asked after thinking about the situation a bit.
"I would, but I don't have any place to stay. It would be safer for me and everyone else if I continue to run," she said, sounding a bit uncertain about that idea.
"I have some empty rooms, if you did want to stay for a bit. You could stay with me," I replied. I looked at her and saw that she still looked a little unsure. "But I guess it's up to you. But if you change your mind, my door is always open." I started to walk away.
Momo's POV
I stared after Soul, a little surprised that he invited a complete stranger into his home, but it was true that I didn't want to keep running, "Wait, Soul! I'd like to stay here for a bit, but I don't want to be a burden to you," I called after him.
He turned around and smiled at me, "Well, come on! I'll show you the way."
I smiled back ran after him. After I reached his side, I looked at him, "Are you sure I won't be of any trouble?" I asked him shyly.
"Nah… It's pretty lonely there right now; having someone there will help keep the place alive. Hahahaha!" He laughed, than started to walk toward a large house on the corner.
His laugh sounds so nice, I thought to myself. I smiled, "Well okay… If you're sure I won't cause you any trouble," I said, my face turning slightly pink. I looked up to see the house and my mouth dropped, "You live here?!" I exclaimed. "It's huge!"
"Yeah, it has a lot of cool rooms inside! I'm really proud! Come on in," he went up the stairs towards the front door.
I followed him inside, looking around as I went and because I was not paying attention, I tripped and fell into Soul's back. I quickly moved away blushing, "Sorry," I whispered, embarrassed.
He blushed a little as well, "It's okay…" He replied. He took a small step back, then blushed a deeper red.
I looked around the inside of the house, "Wow, it's pretty clean in here!" I said, quickly changing the subject. At that moment, I realized that Soul can see me despite being in my Soul Reaper form. "Wait a minute… How is it that you can see me?" I asked him, sounding a bit surprised and confused.
"Why wouldn't I be able to see you?" He asked, looking confused.
"Well, normally people can't see me when I'm in this form. The y only people who can see me in this form are other Soul Reapers or people with strong spiritual energy," I replied.
He looked a little confused, "Well my life has a lot to do with other souls, do you think that might explain this?"
"Maybe," I said, although I still felt confused, "Now that I think about it, I sense that you have a very strong spiritual energy. I can also tell that you're no ordinary human; but if you're not an ordinary human, then what are you?" I asked, half to myself.
"To tell you the truth, I am a human, but I'm also a weapon; to be precise I'm a scythe," he said a little uncomfortably.
I felt really confused now, a small crease forming between my eyebrows, "I don't understand… What do you mean 'you're a weapon'? You don't look like a weapon you look like a normal human to me."
"The reason that I look like a human is because I'm in my human form. In my weapon form I look like a scythe; you know like what the god of the dead would use, you know in those cartoons and stuff…" I cut him off.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. That's actually really cool! So do you have someone who wields you as a weapon?" I exclaimed excitedly.
"Well… actually she died… like I said earlier she's gone, I'm actually looking for a new Meister," he explained.
"Oh…" I replied looking uncomfortable, "I'm sorry…," There was an awkward silence between the two of us for a few minutes. I was the one who broke the silence. "Well… If you're looking for a new one then can I be your Meister?" I asked hopefully, my wide brown eyes sparkling with excitement.
"We'll have to see if we can resonate…"
I tilted my head, "Resonate? What does that mean?" I asked.
"Hmm…well, it means that we need to check to see if our souls are compatible. If they're not, you can't be a Meister." He smiled at her. "Do you want to try?"
I smiled back, "Yeah sure!" I exclaimed, "Let's do it!" I felt really excited for some reason. I wasn't sure why, but the thought of me being Soul's Meister made me really happy.
Soul changed into his weapon form. "Catch me!" He yelled as he fell toward her.
I caught Soul before he hit the ground and twirled him around as if I had used a scythe before. It really was no different than using a sword. My movements were very graceful. I suddenly felt something flowing from the weapon in my hands. "I can feel something coming from you, Soul."
"Yeah, that's my soul wave lengths. If you weren't able to feel them, then we couldn't be partners."
I smiled happily, "Well, I guess it's a good thing that I can feel yours! Can you feel mine?" I asked, and I stopped twirling him around.
"Yeah I can feel them. They're really strong! It's very impressive," he complimented her.
I giggled and blushed at the compliment, "Thanks… Yours are very strong too, Soul! Does this mean that we can be partners?" I asked hopefully.
"Absolutely, I go to a special school for weapons and Meisters. I have to go tomorrow. Would you like to go with me and see if you can be enrolled too?" He asked timidly.
"Yes please! I would love to go to your school, Soul! Would I be accepted so late into the school year?" I asked, feeling really happy.
"We don't really have a school year; here we go to school year round! So it wouldn't matter when you came!" He said happily.
"Oh okay! Then I would get accepted, right? Even though I'm a Soul Reaper?"
"I'm sure it wouldn't matter. Lord Death will probably let you in if we show him that we're compatible." He explained. "Come on. I'll take you to your room."
Soul changed back into his human form and took me upstairs to show me to my room. He went in before me, saying he had to get it ready, then when I was all settled in he said goodnight and went to his room, fell onto the bed and went to sleep. I curled up in my new bed and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
