Alright it was pointed out that this was a bit of a Mary Sue so I'm going to be re-editing these few chapters while I still have a chance and I'm going to be changing a few things up but the story plot and base is still the same. It's still based on the arancars saga

Summary

Sakura Haruno comes to Karakura town as a new transfer students and with a secret; she's a visored; she's always one step ahead of Ichigo and his friends when it comes to slaying hollows in the town but doesn't know anything about them or about the soul society in the lest or her own powers due to that fact she tries her hardest to exclude herself from the world to hide her powers and appear normal. What happens when the soul society finds out about her and she gets involved with this upcoming winter war?

BTW-not sure I'm spelling everyone's names right but I promise I'll get it eventually! And characters might be OC

I don't own bleach or Naruto because if I did you would have a wonderful cross over season!

There was the last howl of a hollow as a 15 year old teenage boy with short spikey orange hair and piercing brown eyes slashed with his large sword at the spider like hollow cutting it in half. He watched with a grin as it disappeared.

"Another Hollow down for the count" Ichigo said smirking after all his training and the fights he was glad to finally be back home for a while he had just gotten back from his battle with the bounts and things were finally getting back to normal for him well as normal as I could be. Rukia hadn't come back to the world of the living so he was stuck cleaning up the hollows on his own. It was too bad Rukia wasn't around though because it meant he had to let Kon stay in his body. Then there was also his soul reaper badge but it would mean passing out in the middle of class.

"Well now that that's done" Ichigo sighed happily "I should get back to school before Kon wrecks my reputation even further"

Ichigo arrived later at school during break to find Uryuu and Chad trying to restrain Kon from going after any of the girls in the field; he remembered what happened the last time something like this went down he almost got expelled but luckily for him it was just a three day suspension sometimes he wondered why he bothered with Kon when it would be better to appear dead.

"Alright time to switch" Ichigo said going over to his friends who were trying to hold down Konwith all their might.

"Ichigo" Uryuu called his glasses were cracked and his usually neat blue hair was dishrivled "Get back in your body now; we can't hold him much longer!"

"What the hell's going on?" Ichigo asked

"No" Kon begged "Please just let me stay a little longer I wanted to talk to that new cutie!"

Ichigo gave him a weird look "I've seen him get worked up over girls but never this much usually he would just pout and cry not punch and kick"

Kon continued to struggle but after he realised he wouldn't be breaking out of their death grip he stopped the struggles "Come on Ichigo I wanted to hook up with that new hotty please!"

"What are you talking about?" Ichigo asked

"He's smitten with the new girl" Chad explained calmly "You missed her introduction this morning when you left. It was actually a bit frightening"

Ichigo raised his eyebrow and scratched the back of his head "Oh well anyway time to get back in"

At the mention of that Kon started struggling again "No….No; wait Ichigo just give me a few more minutes I was so close to groping her! She's got melons as big as Orihime's"

Ichigo felt a vein throb on his forehead good god he was so lucky his friends stopped Kon from jumping the new girl or this time he would've been expelled for sure. He was losing his reputation because of him!

Ichigo ignored Kon's pleas and got back into his body sighing heavily "So he didn't do anything else did he; no jumping anyone? Attacks"

They shook their heads "Surprisingly all he done was try and trudge after Haruno"

"Haruno" Ichigo asked

"The new girl" Uryuu explained "Sakura Haruno"

"Oh yeah by the way" Chad started "You're her lab partner that's why Kon wanted to stay in your body a little longer and you're seated next to her"

"Oh" Ichigo said

"ICHIGO!" Kaigo called running over to him; he of course had the wind knocked out of him when Ichigo raised his fist and hit his friend square in the face.

"Kaigo what's going on?" Ichigo asked

Kaigo stood up from the ground recovering from the punch he grabbed Ichigo by his shirt and started shaking him "What the heck man? You lucky bastard you got the hot new girl as your lab partner! You have all the luck; why?! Fate is so cruel"

Ichigo shook his head why the hell was everyone making such a big deal over this…Sakura girl was she that good looking?

"Aw man" Kaigo whined

Mizuiro came over to them "What an idiot it was just dumb luck Keigo that Ichigo was the one paired up with her; I gotta admit though I am pretty just she's just been listed as one of the top girls in the school ranked up right with Orihime from what I heard the seniors say and she has an unusual natural hair colour like you Ichigo"

"Huh?" Ichigo gave them a blank look "You rank the girls?"

"Never mind that" Keigo said "How can you not be affected at all at the thought I mean did you even see her properly?"

'I haven't seen her at all' Ichigo thought back in his mind and it was the truth he didn't know why his friends were getting so worked up over this girl even Mizuiro who always went for older girls.

It was time for science now and Ichigo was sitting at his usual far end in the corner of the class room but the window of the double desk; class was just about to start and it seemed that almost all the guys in class were staring at him; well not staring more like glaring at him. He tensed slightly damn all this for the new girl? He glared back at them and their looks faltered before they turned away from him in fear.

"Alright students" the teacher called "Please open your text book to page-

'Oh shit' Ichigo thought 'I don't have it here!'

Suddenly the door swung open slightly and they heard a voice it was soft but it sounded firm.

"Um excuse me….." the teacher went over to the door "Sorry I'm late; I got lost"

"Oh that's ok" the teacher smiled; she opened the door further "Come on in"

The teacher turned to the class "Now I'm sure some of you know her but I'm going to introduce her anyway this is Sakura Haruno…come on in dear don't be shy"

Ichigo looked away from the window and over to the teacher time to see what all the hub bub was about. He froze slightly.

"Hi; I'm Sakura Haruno nice to meet you" she said sounding rather blunt about it

There stood the new girl; she was a little small curvy and Kon wasn't kidding when he said her breasts were as big as Orihime's well almost as big yet she was slightly shorter than her but taller than Rukia. She had pink hair that was down her mid back with bangs framing her face making her slightly wide forehead visible and emerald green eyes. If she didn't have that stoic look on her face she might be considered to look a bit like a doll.

"Alright let's see" the teacher said looking at her seating paper "Go sit beside Kurosaki Ichigo"

Sakura turned to Ichigo and nodded before walking over to him; she haltingly took her seat as the lesson continued. She took out her text book then noticed Ichigo and poked his shoulder slightly.

"Um; excuse me" Sakura said "Do you have your text book?"

"N-No I forgot it" Ichigo replied 'Why did I just stutter?' he thought

"Here" Sakura said moving her book and her chair a little closer to him so they could both see the book.

"Thanks" Ichigo said

"You're welcome" Sakura murmured under her breadth though it almost sounded like she was trying to flip him off. It was like she had a real strong tone but stoic attitude.

As the lesson progressed not much was said between the two but there was a feeling of death in the air and it was so directed at Ichigo and he knew it while Sakura seemed oblivious to it. They ended up doing an activity together and got grouped for an assignment which got him death dagger glares in return but like he could care less about that. They already knew not to mess with him but some idiots just don't learn their lesson plus people just looking at Chad scared them away.

The bell finally rang signalling freedom for Ichigo well for now "Oh hey Sakura" Ichigo called looking over to her "When do you want to work on the assignment?"

"Um" Sakura paused for a moment and frowned a little "How about next week Saturday; we can work out the details during the week"

"Sure"

Ichigo started heading out the class but stopped when he heard Sakura's voice again; turning around he saw some of the other guys gathering around her

"So you're the new girl Sakura that's a pretty name"

"You think; I find it a comical joke" Sakura said oblivious that these guys were trouble as she packed away her books.

"I have to say you make that pink dyed hair look really hot"

Sakura twitched slightly but didn't seem to react that much "It's my natural hair colour" she stated

"Well babe why you hanging around a punk like Ichigo you hear the rumours about him?"

Sakura cocked her head to the side with that same stoic look on her face "Rumours?"

"Yeah; he's a total delinquent; it's not good to be seen with him" one of the guys vouched

"Like I believe rumours" Sakura said and her voice almost softened at that "Now could you move? I have to get through"

"Hey come on" the senior started reaching for her but his wrist was grabbed and he was twisted around with his arm held out on his back.

"Ah crap that hurts!" he said trying to get out of Sakura's grasp "Are you insane?"

She let him go and kicked him back; she flipped off the long bangs on her side of her forehead and threw her bag over her shoulder "I don't like to repeat myself" she glared at them and it actually made them flinch "Get out of the way"

"Why you-

Just as another one of the seniors looked like they were going to start Ichigo's voice cut through.

"If she says move then your should do what she asked" Ichigo says calmly as he finally decided to come up to them; looking at the other guys they all just tensed; gulped and fled the class room in an instant.

Ichigo sighed "Hey you ok?" he asked

Sakura nodded "Yeah don't worry about it that's been happening all day"

Ichigo narrowed his eyes "In every class?"

Sakura nodded plainly again "Yeah in English this morning; math; physics oh and PE was the worst then Geo"

Ichigo froze 'Wait; she's in all my classes?' he thought stupidly he had missed all his lessons today so he really shouldn't be surprised.

"Well if those guys give you trouble; I'll set those guys straight" Ichigo offered

Sakura shook her head "Don't worry yourself; Kurosaki I can take care of myself and I don't need any knights in shining armour"

Ichigo was a bit taken back by her tone; she started walking off out as she passed through the door he heard her "Though thanks for the help"

As Ichigo walked home he thought back about Sakura; she seemed to grasp his interest; she acted so cold and stoic towards those guys that were hitting on her and by the looks of it she literally looked like she was going to hit them back yet she was very calm when she did that and when she just brushed him off like that wait why was he thinking about her like that; she just acted like she didn't give a damn when he helped her. Just then Ichigo heard his combat pass and sighed heavily.

Another hollow; he sighed he just couldn't get a break today. He was about half way off from where he was heading but then it stopped blinking. Ichigo looked at it curiously.

"Is it broken?" he wondered holding it up to his eyes

"Die monster" a bitter sweet voice whispered in the night as she brought her blade down on the creature cutting it right down the middle; she watched as it dissolved into nothing and smiled a little for the first time she arrived in this town.

"That takes care of that" Sakura sighed and stretched out her arms tiredly "Time to head home and then over to work"

Sakura wore an unusual soul reaper hakama; it ended mid-thigh and was frilled at the bottom with a white ribbon around her waist with long sleeves. She put her sword back in its sheath and started heading back home where she left her body; she always tried to leave her body at home before taking coming to defeat the hollow. On the numerous occasions when she wasn't able to and had to literally just leave it lying around in public where people could see her and that always created a big commotion.

This arrangement of Sakura fighting these monsters all these monsters had only started about two years ago but from the time she was five she's been able to see ghosts. She lived in an orphanage at that time so it was hard for her to deal with seeing things no one else could see and the bullying there made things harder but then a year after that she was taken out of the orphanage by someone and during that time though the images never faded she never told anyone she could see ghosts.

As to how she had become a soul reaper; it all started when her ability of being able to see ghosts became more clearly than ever and a sense of danger that would make the back of her hair stand on end began and then after that she just woke up one day with this skull in her hands which she had turned into a necklace thinking it looked really cool but no one else could see it and then every time she got that feeling of something dangerous coming she would show up at the location; the necklace would beep she just seemed to get knocked out of her body. That was the first time she had transformed into a soul reaper and the first time she's ever seen a hollow before and didn't have much choice but to slay it. However Sakura didn't know about other soul reapers or the soul society or even hollows. She just thought she was some kind of freak that had to use her powers for something.

Ichigo sighed he was halfway running for the hollow but then his badge just stopped so now he had to head back home which was all the way across town! Now he was going to have to rush home or he was going to be scolded for breaking curfew again not like he cared really though but it was getting really late. He passed through the towns markets that were just closing up. He stopped when he spotted a blob of dark pink.

"W-What the?" he blinked "S-Sakura? What's she doing?"

He saw Sakura leaving a café; she was wearing a light blue dress that ended at her knees with white frills and a white apron. She had on blue laced boots as well. Her pink hair was tied into two buns.

"Hey Sakura" Ichigo called going up to her; she turned around

"Oh crap" she muttered under her breadth; her eyes hardening slightly "Sorry we're closed now"

Ichigo looked at her strangely and tried to ignore the cold tone "You work here?"

Sakura nodded bluntly "Yeah"

"How come; I mean it's so late don't your folks know that?" he said covering that he was going to ask her why she was working here because this kind of thing didn't really seem her style from the impression she gave

She shook her head simply; she didn't have any parents to begin with but what would be the point in telling him that.

"Oh" Ichigo said maybe her parents weren't the kind who would just give her money a lot like his wouldn't "Wow that must be hard"

Sakura shook her head "Not really I mean the hours aren't really as late as you're exaggerating"

"Yeah but what about school work?" he asked her

"I get that done as well Ichigo" Sakura stated simply "Now if you're done I have to close up"

Ichigo was once again taken back slightly by her tone "Alright see you" he muttered under his breadth "Little miss attitude"

She waited until she saw him far enough and sighed; she ran a hand through her hair. She wondered what the heck he was doing here at this part of town to begin with.

Ok here's the first chapter of the new What hurts the most; hope you enjoyed it; I know I'm changing Sakura's character up a bit but it's like I said in the summary she wants to keep her distance from people so she's developed that kind of characteristic.
