Prologue
Ever since I was a little kid, I was able to see ghosts. At first I thought I was going nuts because none of my friends saw them. When I told my dad - Ichigo Kurosaki - he told me I wasn't going nuts or insane. Instead, all the told me was that I got my talents to see ghosts from him. Of course, I was only 4 years old then, but my dad has been giving me his sword - zanpaku-to, as he calls it - to practice my sword fight when Mr. Hats-And-Clogs came over. Fairly so often, I would go over to Tatsuki's house. Of course, Tasuki was my dad's friend and was so nice to me that she even gave me free martial arts lessons for ten years straight in private. For ten years, I have been training with Zangetsu - my dad's zanpaku-to - and Tatsuki. Thanks to all the training, not only did I master the martial arts, but I mastered one of the two moves of the zanpaku-to called bankai.
Chapter 1
High school. The moment I entered that building, everyone stepped back to make a huge room for me to walk past them, even the higher grade-leveled students. I may only have been in the first year in high school, but everyone feared me. No one ever told me what it was that was scaring them, but I never bothered to ask.
I headed to may class and opened the door just as the bell rang. A male teacher who looked tough yelled, "What's your name, young lady, and what's your excuse for walking into classroom room when the bell rings?" When the entire class gasped, the teacher asked them sheepshily, "What?"
One of the male students responded quickly, "That's the one and only Ichisan! Ichisan Kurosaki! She's the toughest student around the town!"
"And as the rumor goes, a woman named Tatsuki has been giving her private martial arts class lessons for free! Ten years straight! Tatsuki was the toughest person around the town, until Ichisan beat her!" another student cried out, but this time, it was a girl.
"Kurosaki? I haven't heard that name in a long time!" the teacher said. He turned to me and snared, "I bet you ain't as tough as your father Ichigo Kurosaki!"
I punched him across the face and he skidded to the back of the classroom on his side. I called, "If I can punch you and knock you off your feet that easily, I bet you that I am stronger than my father!"
As I took a seat, the teacher slammed his hand on my desk and snapped, "Martial arts contest after school. You against me!"
"That won't be happening at all," Tatuki's voice said. When we all looked over, Tatsuki was standing by the door. But her hair color was not black this time. It was light brown, instead. She told my teacher, "You have been fired by the pricinpal of this school."
Outraged, he cried out, "But who will take over my class?"
My father appeared at the door as he said, "I don't know why, but he wants me to take over when he knows that my daughter's in this very class." His beeper that looked like a cellphone started to beep violently. His eyes got bigger when he checked it. As he took out a candy, he said, "Ichisan, come here! It's time for you to put your skills to test! I'm getting to old to fight these things! Hurry! We don't have much time before one arrives to attack these students!"
My dad ate the candy and his soul came appart from his body. Kon - the soul that was in the candy that took over my dad's body - jumped on me as he cried out, "Ichisan! Your dad was trying to kill me!"
I grabbed the arms and kicked him in the chin as I said, "And I see why, Kon. Only if you were as smart as all the boys in my class were. That would make my life so much easier, you know that?" I turned to Tatsuki and asked her, "Can you hold him down? I need to turn into a Soul Reaper and that won't happen with him keep pouncing on me while my dad does that."
Tatsuki nodded and grabbed Kon while I got in front of my dad. He asked me in uncertain way, "Are you ready, Ichisan?"
"I didn't train to fight hollows for nothing, dad. Bring it on," I said as I nodded.
He cried out, "I'm sorry, Zangetsu, but I'll have to pass my powers and Soul Repaer part onto my own daughter!"
With just that, he stabbed me in the chest and the last thing I heard was Tatsuki crying out, "Ichigo! What the bloody hell are you thinking?"
Almost as though there was an explosion, I felt myself falling away from my body and landed on my back. When the smoke cleared, I saw the candy that my dad ate roll by my hand and my dad was getting up. He looked directly at me and asked, "Ichisan, get up! Quick! A hollow will be here any second now!"
I quickly got up and took out the zanpaku-to. When I took out it, I realized that it was three times longer and three times bigger in length than its original size when it belonged to my dad. Next thing I knew, there was a huge explosion sound by the windows and a huge hole appeared. When the smoke cleared up once more, a hollow appeared and this one looked like a huge white spider with a hole in its chest. One thing that all hollows had in common, I realized, was the hole in the chest and the mask, but the mask styles were different.
