Disclaimer:I do not own Bleach or any of its characters as all credits go to Tite Kubo. I do, however, own my main oc and some minor ones appearing.

Me: Hello guys this is Luna and welcome to my third story. I know I've been neglecting my other stories lately but school has been quite hectic lately so yeah. Anyway, this will be the first time I am using an oc that is relating to a main character. Don't worry, I took the Mary-sue test beforehand and she wasn't mary-sue nor to I intend to make her like that ever. Well I hope you enjoy it!

X.X.X.X.X.X

As the sun set on the city of Karakura, Japan, the sounds of punches and laughter could be heard beyond the higurashi(cicada) chirps. On an empty street near the city, a group of young men stood over a young girl with shoulder length, spikey orange hair who was now rubbing her cheek. Brown eyes glared fiercely at the leader of the group who had a smug look on his face.

"Little girl, you know you shouldn't have done that. Now I may not like hurting children but I don't like it when someone attacks one of my boys for no reason. So what to you have to say for yourself? The girl didn't answer, settling for just staring at the smug young man. This however only pissed the male off. "So no answer huh? FINE, you asked for it!"

No sooner when he went to punch the girl did he come face-to-face with a fist that sent him flying and knocked him out. The gang and the girl looked to the person responsible for it and noticed a boy with orange spikey hair as well and, safe to say, he did not look happy.

"Ichigo," The girl whispered.

His brown eyes met the girls, examining her before turning back to the gang. One of the boys spoke up angrily. "Do you have a death wish pal. No one jumps one of our boys and gets away with it!"

"Uhn," Was the reply he got.

"What, that's all you can say? Uhn?" The male went to punch Ichigo only to get a foot to his face. He hit the ground and was repeatedly stomped on by the carrot-top.

"Ah, Yamma's down, we gotta help him." "No way." I'm not going to take on that psycho," The 3 other boys said amongst themselves.

The orange haired male continued to stomp on Yamma's face until the ground broke then looked up at the other 3 and shook a fist. "Now listen up you pond scum, you see that?" He asked, pointing at the slightly broken glass vase with flowers at the corner of the street. "First question: What do you think that is? You, the one in the middle, answer!"

The middle guy studdered. "Well uh, I guess those flowers were for some kid that got killed here."

"CORRECT!" Ichigo yelled, falcon kicking the guy. "Now the next question: The vase there, why is it laying on its' side?"

By now the other two were shaking in fear. "I guess one of us must 'ave...knocked it on its side when we were skateboarding through here."

They too were met by a series of punches. "My, you guys catch on pretty quickly. And now for the bonus round: See the girl sitting on her ass behnd me?" He asked, jabbing his thumb over his shoulder to the girl who was now glaring at Ichigo. "Why is her cheek wounded?"

The 3 males looked up at Ichigo in fear then pointed at her. "Sh-she sttacked us first! We knocked over the vase and she attacked one of our boys out of nowhere."

At this, the male drop kicked the ground, nearly hitting them all. "Wrong answer! NOW GO AND APOLOGIZE OR SOON THOSE FLOWERS WILL BE FOR YOU!" The males shrieked in fear, picked up their skateboards and unconscious friends then ran away apologizing.

Ichigo scowled before turning to the 13 year old, sighing and walking up to her. "Jeez Tsuki, are you trying to get yourself killed?"

"Tch, they just got a lucky punch. I would've flattened them if you hadn't shown up,"She retorted.

Ichigo's left eye twitched slightly before offering his hand to her. "Is that anyway to thank your brother who just saved your ass?"

Tsuki took the hand and was pulled up. "Whatever. Anyway, your heroic act will keep them from showing their ugly mugs around here."

Almost in sync, Ichigo and Tsuki turned to the corner of the street where a transparent, floating girl with a chain going down her chest.

"Sorry about that, we'll bring by some new flowers tomorrow,"Ichigo told her.

The ghost smiled. "Thank you both for coming to my defense. I think now I'll be able to rest peacefully."

Ichigo picked up the glass vase and turned it upwards. "No problem, it's the least we could do. After all, you deserve to rest peacefully."

With that, the ghost girl disappeared and Ichigo and Tsuki made their way home.

X.X.X.X.X

15 year old Ichigo Kurosaki, a high school student, and his little sister, 13 year old Tsukiyo Kurosaki, were both teenagers whose family runs a small medical business. Whether it was because they were entrusted with the lives of the living, they didn't know but since their younger days they've been able to see the souls of those who haven't moved on. Was it an annoying gift, yes but they dealt with it.

Ichigo opened the gate to their house then opened their front door. "We're home." He announced before being kicked in the face by their goat-faced father.

"You dropped your guard. Always stay alert when you come home and you're late for dinner! Same thing with you young lady!"

In just a nanosecond, Ichigo was on his feet again and pressed his forehead against his father's. "Come on! Is that anyway to greet your own son after he just saved his sister and helped a soul find peace?

"Silence! Oh so now it's their fault huh? I suppose it's their fault that your room isn't clean, when are you going to show some discipline?" And thus began yet another father/son sparring match of idiotic proportions.

Tsuki pinched the bridge of her nose, walked into her house while dodging the stray punches that headed her way, placed her bag down and took a seat next to her youngest sister Karin. Her other sister, Yuzu, handed her a bowl of rice and Tsuki began to eat, trying to ignore the scene behind her.

The ever concerned Yuzu looked over at the brawling males and tried to break it up. "Hey, cut it out you two! Come over here and eat your dinner."

"Just let them fight, more for me?" Karin replied in a dead-panned tone, bringing her bowl towards Yuzu in a gesture for seconds.

"That's not very nice Karin," She said, filling her younger twin's bowl again.

Tsuki looked at the fight from the corner of her eye and closed her eyes. "Don't worry, it'll be over in just a minute."

And true to her words, with just one kick to the face, Ichigo sent his father flying to the wall. "I gotta tell ya dad, a pretty normal, healthy high school kid with a 7 o' clock curfew is totally uncool!"

"Speaking of uncool, Ichigo, you have a new one,"Karin told him.

Ichigo blinked and looked behind him and jumped at the sight of a new ghost hanging over his shoulder. "Hey, how long have you been there! Take a hike will ya!" He yelled, trying to get the ghost away from him.

Tsuki sighed and stood up. "Whatever, I'm going to my room. Thanks for dinner Yuzu."

"Now just hold it there yound lady!" The now recovered Isshin yelled, pointing as his eldest daughter. "Don't think for one second that your tardiness will go unpunished. You need to learn some discipline along with your brother and..." His ranting was stopped when Tsuki threw her shoes at his face, knocking him to the floor. She walked upstairs and entered her fairly normal room and closed the door.

Her walls here painted a dark blue color and all over the walls were of famous bands, including Within Temptation and Evanescence from America. She had a working desk across from her bed which was against the north wall, a closet was a few feet away from there and a window on the left wall to her bed. She sat them layed down onto her bed, crossed her arms under her head and stared at the ceiling.

'Man, it seems that Nii-san has been seeing spirits more often lately. Yes I can see them as well as he and Karin can, but they seemed more attracted to him. I wonder why' Tsuki yawned loudly. 'Well, no use in dwelling over it' The orange haired girl turned to her side and stared out her window at the moon before her eyes closed and she fell asleep.

X.X.X.X

The next morning, a disgruntled Tsuki slammed on the off button of her alarm clock and covered her face with a pillow to block out the rays of the sun, trying to get some more sleep.

But this soon failed once her door flew open and her father came in with a speaker phone in hand.

"GOOD MORNING MY LOVELY DAUGHTER! TODAY IS A GREAT DAY TO WALK OUT AND SUCK IN THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF OUR WORLD! SO WAKE UP AND EMBRACE THE BOSOM OF YOUR LOVELY DADDY!" Soon the goat faced man was hunched over, clutching the place where the sun don't shine with a very pissed off Tsuki hovering over him. She glared at her idiot of a father, kicked him out of her room, got dressed in her school uniform and walked down into the kitchen.

Yuzu was at the table with Karin and Ichigo. She smiled when she noticed Tsuki. "Good morning Nee-chan! Come here and have some breakfast!"

Tsuki huffed, took her seat next to Karin and began to eat.

Ichigo raised an eyebrow before giving his sister his trade-mark smartass grin. "He woke you up and pissed you off badly, didn't he?"

"Biggest understatement of a century. He used that stupid speaker phone of his too," Tsuki retorted.

Karin sighed. "Jeez, you'd think that a 40 year old man would be more mature than that but I guess our family wasn't so fortunate."

Before the 4 Kurosaki siblings could blink, their father(how the hell did he recover so quickly?) was crying against the poster of their mother. "Oh Masaki, our children are beginning to outgrow and scorn this old man. They are becoming so cruel to me!"

Karin growled and turned around in her chair. "For the last time, take down that damn poster!"

Getting more frustruated than he already was, Ichigo stood up from the table and went to turn on the news. There was a showing of an explosion just outside of the Karakura station and many newscasters and bystanders were standing outside of the explosion. Many buildings in the surrounding area of the were damaged heavily as well.

"Hey, that's near here," Ichigo said, concern starting to edge in his voice.

Tsuki was worried as well as she stared at the tv screen. Her brown eyes narrowed before closing as she got up and retrieved her bag. "Well I'll see you later guy."

Her siblings said their goodbyes and Tsuki headed down the street, and to the city. For some reason, the feeling of the atmosphere was getting to be a bit eerie and much more dense. She didn't know what it was but she didn't like it.

Tsuki was about halfway to her school when an explosion northwest of her caught her attention. The orange haired girl sprinted to the scene and stopped at the corner of a building when she saw her brother and the ghost girl from yesterday being chased by a huge creature that she's never seen before. Its' body was like that of a praying mantis, its' face was covered in a white mask, glowing gold eyes peered out of it and a hole was right where the heart would normally be.

Her breath hitched when she recognized the air around the creature as the one she felt in the city. Something about it nearly scared the living crap out of her.

She watched as the girl tripped over her feet and her brother turn around to help her out. The creature caught up to them, making its' move to eat them but was soon stopped by a young girl clad in black that seemed to come out of nowhere. She unsheathed a sword and swung in through the creatures mask, sending its' blood everywhere. It roared once more before it was cut through again by the girl and disappeared into the air.

Tsuki's eyes were wide at what she had just witnessed. Part of her wanted to go after the girl, who walked away and disappeared, and ask her what the hell happened and what that thing was but the other part of her held her back and made her continue her way to school.

X.X.X.X

It was late into the night when Tsuki woke up from a surprise, surprise 3 hour nap. She ran a hand through her unruly hair then clasped her hands behind her head and stared at the ceiling.

'I can't grasp what happened earlier today. Just what was that creature with the white mask and who was that samurai girl. I've never seen anything like it.'

Silence overcame her for a few moments as she turned over to stare at the still full moon.

Suddenly, a familiar energy and howling pierced that silence. Screaming came after that and caused the 13 year old to jump out of her bed and run down the stairs.

"Yuzu! Karin!"

When Tsuki got to the bottom of the stairs, she saw a creature much like the one before beyond the giant hole in their house and in the monster's hand was Karin.

Protective instincts overcame Tsuki as she picked up a wooden beam on the floor and charged at it. "Let go of my little sister, you monster!"

The creature looked in Tsuki's direction and before she could strike at it, it used its' free hand, hit her and sent her flying into the side of the house.

Blood came out of her mouth and the air was nearly knocked out of her. She managed to keep herself awake as she struggled to get up, only getting her upper half up to stare the monster.

Finally, the creature spoke in an odd voice. "Ahh, you may not be the one I am looking for here today but your soul will be quite delicious, girl"

Tsuki gritted her teeth and began to shake in both anger and fear when, suddenly, Ichigo came charging at the creature with a metal chair. It proved futile as the fish-like creature punched him and he landed a few feet away from her.

Ichigo shook from the force of the impact and opened his eyes to see Tsuki next to him. "Tsuki."

He looked up when the creatures' shadow loomed over him. It went to attack again but its' arm was cut by the girl from before, making it let go out Karin and vanished.

Ichigo caught the now unconscious girl, his eyes and mouth wide in disbelief. "Karin, hey!"

"Its' okay, the hollow left without devouring any of your sisters' souls. For some reason, their souls weren't the ones that it was after. And what's even weirder is that your own spirit energy was suppressed until just now. So that means, the hollow is really after you," The black haired girl explained, her purple eyes meeting Ichigo's brown ones.

Anger surged through Ichigo at the news revealed to him. He looked at Tsuki and Karin, and thought about Yuzu when she came up to his room injured. This was all because of him? His sisters were hurt because of him? Damn it!

Within a few moments, the hollow appeared before them again.

"It's here again! Get out of here!

Ichigo stood up. "No! So what you're saying is that my sister's are in danger because of me?"

"That's one way to look at it."

That made Ichigo run up to the creature and stand in its' path. "Coward, stop attacking other! It's my soul you want so come and get it. Fight me one-on-one, you ugly bastard!"

The hollow roared and moved to kill.

Tsuki screamed. "ICHIGO!"

Just when the hollow seemed to have its' next meal, the girl came in between Ichigo and the hollow, taking the blow. She used her sword to make it let go and fell to the ground woth blood pouring out of her wounds.

"Soul reaper!" Ichigo called out.

"...You fool. How could you have possibly thought that you were any match for a hollow. Did you think it would be over if you simply gave him your soul, one soul doesn't satisfy him for long. If you keep this up, we'll just end up being his food." The soul reaper managed to pull herself up and get into a sitting position against a light pole. "Tell me, do you want to save your family?"

"What, of course I do. If there's a way then show me how," Ichigo replied.

"There's only one way. You must become a soul reaper yourself," She said, holding up her sword. Run my zanpakuto through the center of your being so that I may pour my powers into you. I can't guarantee it will work but it's the only choice we have."

By this time, the hollow had recovered and was slowly making its' way to the two.

Ichigo smirked. "Give me that blade, Soul Reaper."

"My name is Rukia. Rukia Kuchiki"

Ichigo took the blade in his hand. "And my name is..Ichigo Kurosaki!" He pulled the blade towards him and a bright flash of light forced itself from him.

Once she took her arm away from her eyes, Tsuki gawked at the sight before her. Ichigo was now clad in a black shihakusho(soul reaper uniform) and he heaved a large blade over his shoulder. She watched in awe as her brother destoryed the hollow with his massive blade.

"So, the time has finally come eh?"

Tsuki jumped at the sound of a new voice next to her. She turned her head to see a blonde haired, middle aged man wearing a green and white hat and clogs. He had a paper fan in one hand and a cane in the other.

"Who..who are you?" She asked in barely a whisper.

The man tried(and failed) to cover his amused grin with his fan before kneeling down to the middle schooler. "All in good time, little Tsuki. All in good time."

She was about to ask how he knew her name but he snapped his fingers in front of her face and she knew nothing more.
