Hello all, Reaper here. This will be my first fanfic, so it may be a little rusty. I'm gonna be using some of my own ideas to, as you'll see. Creative criticism and some pointers are definitely welcome. Without further delay, enjoy the first chapter of Seireitei's Angel.

Also, I don't own anything Bleach.

**Zanpakuto/Hollow Thinking**

At the edge of the Rukongai in the Seireitei, a person was just waking up in a new place, with a new story about to begin.

"Where am I?" "Who am I for that matter?" He asked, sitting up and looking around. A sharp pain suddenly filled his head as he remembered his name. "Arthur…Arthur Richards." He stood up and walked over to a puddle, looking into it, "Is that me?" Looking back at him was a 19 year old with a round chin, silver hair, and hazel eyes. "Not bad, the hair could be a little bit longer, but otherwise, not too shabby." As Arthur was admiring his looks, a lone figure began to approach him from his left.

"What am I wearing?" Wrapped around his body was a very light silver, nearly white, kimono. "It's weird, but dammit if it doesn't feel comfortable." Arthur started to pick at his clothing, still not noticing the figure getting closer and closer.

All of a sudden, a meek, female voice came from the figure, "Excuse me, but who are you?"

"Ahh!" Arthur screamed as he fell into the puddle. "What the hell are you doing, sneaking up on me like that!?"

"S-sorry." The figure came out of the shadows and revealed a girl in her early twenties. She had spikey gray hair and grey eyes. On her were black robes and a pair of sandals. "Are you okay?" She asked him as she helped him out of the puddle. "Yeah, I'm alright." Arthur looked at the woman and blushed, "Sorry for screaming at you." He told her under his breath, but just loud enough for her to hear.

Hearing this, she blushed slightly and looked away, "That's alright, but who are you and what are you doing here?" Arthur looked at his surroundings, trying to figure out where he was, "I'm Arthur Richards, and as for what I'm doing here, I have absolutely no idea where I am." Turning back around, Arthur looked at the woman before him and studied her. Tall, shy, she has a look in her eyes though, one that says she'll protect those she cares about. I like her. "If you don't mind my asking, who are you?" He asked giving her a small smile that showed he was no enemy of hers.

"Isane Kotetsu, Third Seat of the 4th Division of the Gotei 13." The now named Isane told him with a hint of pride in her voice. Arthur looked at her with a blank look. Then, he scratched the back of his head and gave a weak chuckle, "Sorry, but I don't know what any of that is."

Isane got a look of suspicion, "Wait, when did you get here?" Arthur looked back at the spot where he woke up from and told her, "I would to guess about maybe, 10 or 15 minutes ago." Had he been looking back at Isane, he would have noticed her wide eyes. So he's the one I was sent to get. I don't sense his reiatsu. Just as she was about to speak, a massive amount of pressure came from nowhere, forcing Arthur to his knees, and even Isane had to crouch under the force. Before them appeared a creature that could only be described as a monster. It's body, purely black with the exception of the large white mask where its face should have been, was that of a lizard's.

"What have we here?" Its voice was raspy and high pitched, making Arthur, who hadn't heard a Hollow before, cringe as he heard it. As Isane was about to draw her Zanpakuto, it grabbed her faster than she had expected it to move. Screaming, the creature held its prize up, as if examining her. "A new soul and a Shinigami, what a lucky day!" The Hollow began to lick its lips, and as it opened its mouth to eat, "Let her go asshole!" Arthur was now on his feet, sending the Hollow a death glare. "And what if don't, what are you gonna do about it you weak little-" Before it could even finish its sentence, a large amount of white reiatsu surged forth from Arthur. "I'll make you!" Arthur ran at the Hollow while it was still shocked and launched a hard punch to the hand that was holding Isane. Yelping, it dropped her, backing away in further shock that a mere soul had done damage to him. Catching the woman, Arthur quickly jumped back and placed her down carefully.

"You okay Isane-chan?" Arthur wasn't looking at her anymore, his steady gaze fixed on the creature before him. She looked at him in pure amazement, "Y-yes, I'm fine, thank you."

"You little brat, you nearly destroyed my hand with that!" The Hollow was back to its senses, looking at the soul before it. Arthur had a bored look as he spoke, "Sorry, I'll make sure I finish you quickly so you don't have to cry about it anymore." With that, he charged at it again, but this time, the creature was ready.

It raised its hand, ready to destroy the puny creature before it. Arthur didn't even attempt to slow down, "Nice try!" He jumped into the air, a shining light covering his leg. He kicked the hand, causing it to vaporize. "Ahhhh!" The Hollow roared on pure agony, not noticing its approaching doom. Raising both his hands into the air, he slammed down on its head as hard as he could, "Take this!" And with that, the Hollow was engulfed in a white light that caused Isane to shield her eyes.

As the light faded, Isane looked back at the scene with shock. Amazing, not even here for half an hour, and he can already kill medium class Hollows. Arthur knelt down next her and gave a tired smile, "You okay?" Blushing, she nodded. Her eyes widened when she saw a large gash on his arms, "You're hurt." He looked at the deep cut and back to her. "Is there a place where I-," He didn't finish his question as he passed out from exhaustion. Isane caught him and began her journey back to her barracks.

She knew what she had to do. First, fix up Arthur. Next, tell her captain what had happened. And finally, report her mission as a success.

And that's the first chapter. This took way longer than I thought. My window closed when I was half way down and I had to start all over. Anyway. Tell me what you think. Chapters will come out as fast as I can get them out, but school does come first. Stay cool everybody.
