Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach, or Isshin Kurosaki, or Masaki, because if I did, there would be a whole lot more of those two in it! =)

Summary: Basically an idea of how Isshin and Masaki met!

A young man stepped out of the Senkaimon into the world of the living. It had been awhile since he was there; he hadn't been to the human world since he was promoted to the Royal Guard. It's what the man missed most about serving in the Gotei thirteen, coming to the Material World to rid of hollow's, but that wasn't his reason for being there. He was there in search of something for the Royal King himself, and yet the Shinigami was clueless as to what it.

As the Soul Reaper made his way through the fairly large city, he took his time; taking in all the sights and sounds around him, the busy noise of cars and people rushing by was calming to him. But being in the World of the Living now was a tease, like giving a child a new toy only to have it taken away just minutes after they've received it. It was painful for the seemingly young man to be relishing his time with humans and knowing its most likely his last time for a while.

The Shinigami was half way across the crosswalk when he heard the sound of screeching tires and gasps from the people all around him. The man turned around to see a teenage girl frozen in fear between him and the sidewalk, staring at the car heading towards her, before she fainted. Without thinking the Soul Reaper shunpo'd towards the young woman, catching her before she fell and carried her away from the scene.

The Shinigami found a park close by and placed the teenager on a bench, ready to leave her when a hand grabbed his arm to stop him. Turning, the man looked at the girl as if seeing her for the first time. The teen had light auburn hair and looks that could make any man fall in love. After what seemed like ages of staring the man's eyes widened in realization, this woman could see him.

"Thank you," voiced the girl, her voice even more angelic then how she looked. "If it wasn't for you, I would have been hit by that car."

"Uh, you're welcome Miss," he replied not really paying attention to what he was saying. "I best be going now."

"Wait," panicked the teen, not knowing why. "May I at least know the name of the man who saved me?"

"I-Isshin, Isshin Kurosaki," answered the Soul Reaper, somewhat shocked.

"Masaki," replied the girl with a soft smile. Isshin smiled in return and walked away from the girl who would one day be the love of his life. Masaki watched as he walked away, and when he disappeared she whispered to herself. "Thank you, Isshin."
