Chapter 1: Prologue

AN: My Apologies for the Overkill on the OC form and the misplacement and overdone info. Here is the prologue of the story everyone. Please enjoy and I hope you can forgive me for my mistake as Shirou is my first OC.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or any related media, though I do own my OC.

After Masaki Kurosaki's funeral:

Isshin Kurosaki pondered why his wife, Masaki, would want him to adopt someone with such an interesting last name; he finally decided the kid must be an orphaned relative of hers.

Isshin turned to his kids and said "Alright, I need to respect Masaki's last wishes so off to the orphanage we go." Making the three groan and Ichigo questioned Isshin while Karin and Yuzu just muttered under their breath, "Why's that dad?"

"Your mother, Masaki, wanted me to adopt an orphaned relative of hers whose last name, interestingly enough, is Ryuujin or Dragon King." Isshin replied making the three blink and agree that the last name was interesting, and slightly weird in Ichigo's opinion.

After killing many squadrons of the greatest evil in existence, known as Paperwork:

"Alright then Shirou, I'm your foster dad Isshin – feel free to call me dad – and these are your new siblings Ichigo, Karin, and Yuzu. We're the Kurosaki family and your relative Masaki, my wife, wished for you to join the family. You can keep your own last name or take up ours." Isshin greeted, gave introductions, and commented to Shirou Ryuujin.

"I'd like to take your family's name Mr. Isshin." Shirou commented quietly, slightly intimidated by the overly cheerful man and blinked when the girl, Karin, kicked Isshin face-first into the ground saying something along the lines of "Quit scaring the kid Goat-Face." He found himself laughing at her name for Isshin thinking that he did look a bit like a goat.

""""Alright then, welcome to the family Shirou Kurosaki!"""" The other four people of the Kurosaki family commented happily.

9 years later (Ichigo and Shirou are 15) 1 year before beginning of Bleach:

"So Ichigo, are you excited about starting highschool today?" Shirou questioned

"Sort of." Ichigo replied

"Why only sort of Ichigo? Think of all the new stuff we could learn!" Shirou almost yelled

Ichigo chuckled and replied, "You're the only one in the family who would think that without prompting, and it's sort of because my rep from middle school will likely follow me here." Ichigo then added thoughtfully, "As will yours now that I think about it."

Shirou sighed and agreed with him, thinking about his rep as both the 'Fake Janitor' and the 'False Teacher'. "Well at least we won't be bored from the monotony of Dad's daily 'training' assaults anymore."

Ichigo nodded and replied, "Yeah, Goat-Face's attacks were getting predictable."

Shirou nodded in agreement as they entered the school.

AN: Here's the prologue all, should advance much faster once I hit the actual 'meat' of the story next chapter.
