Chapter 4: Soul Reaper + Vampire

On the last "Bleach and a Vampire", Tsukune and the newspaper club enter the human world from Yokai Academy. Trying to take a peek at the school that they will attend, they were attacked by hollows. When it looked like Tsukune was about to be eaten, he was saved.

Tsukune saw his life flashed before his eyes as the hollow moved in closer to eat him until it was pierced through the mask and was destroyed. Tsukune looked to see who saved him. It was the same person who told him how to get to Karakura High, Ichigo.

What does Ichigo's presence mean for the newspaper club? Find out now…

"Hey," Ichigo greeted as Tsukune got back to his feet.

"You're that guy from earlier," Tsukune stated, "Who are you? And why are you dressed like that?"

"Well, it's a long story and now may not be a good time to tell it."

More hollow began to appear and move towards Ichigo. One of them said, "Damn soul reaper, who do you think you are?"

'Soul reaper,' Tsukune thought, 'What's that? Is it a monster?'

"I'm the substitute soul reaper of this town," Ichigo declared, "Ichigo Kurosaki."

"I see," another hollow said, "You're the one that defeated Lord Aizen, are you?"

"That's right and you're next."

"We'll see about that. It doesn't matter how strong you are; you can't hope defeat all of us." It was at that moment, the hollows charged in to attack both Ichigo and Tsukune.

"GETSUGA…TENSHO!"

A huge blue energy wave came out of Ichigo's zanpakuto and slashed through the oncoming hollows and destroyed them. Tsukune looked what happened with a surprised look on his face.

"What just happened," he asked himself.

"Look, you need to get friends and get out of here while you can."

"Wait, we can help you."

"TSUKUNE," Moka yelled in distress as hollows approached her.

"MOKA! Hang on, I'm coming."

As Tsukune began to dash towards his vampire friend, some more hollows charged towards him so they can intercept him.

"Move out of the way, please," a new voice said. Tsukune looked at the direction of where the voice came from and saw a green haired woman with a skull on the top of head, wearing some kind of white clothing, and a regular sized sword drawn, and running towards him. It was Neliel.

"M-Master Neliel," one of the hollows said.

"I said move out of the way," Neliel said to Tsukune and the boy did what he was told. Neliel ran towards the hollows and sonidoed behind them.

"CANCION…BARRA!"

Neliel place her zanpakuto back into her sheath and the hollow she appeared behind of were cut down the middle and were destroyed. Just like with Ichigo, Tsukune was surprised about what he saw.

"If you're done looking at me like an idiot, get your friends and find somewhere safe to hide," Neliel said while redrawing her zanpakuto.

"TSUKUNE, PLEASE HURRY," Moka yelled scared as she continues to run from the hollows chasing her. Then Neliel sonidoed towards the pink-haired vampire so they she can protect her from the hollows. Moka saw the espada and said worryingly, "Get out of here, they'll kill you."

"Don't worry about me," Neliel said to Moka, "This will be over before you know it."

After saying that, Neliel turned her attention to the hollows that are approaching her and Moka.

"DRAGON…TWISTER!"

Just like what Rukia does with her shikai, Neliel drew a circle with her sword. But instead of a pillar of ice appearing, Neliel created a twister, destroying the hollows that were caught in it. After the hollow were destroyed, Neliel sheathed her zanpakuto.

"Now find somewhere to hide until this is over, ok."

"Okay, but," Moka said, "What about my friends?"

"Rukia, Ichigo, and I are going to help them, trust me."

Tsukune was then seen running toward the two females. Moka nodded at Neliel's request and started to run to Tsukune.

Meanwhile, the rest of the newspaper club is having tough time dealing with the hollow around them.

"Damn it," Gin cursed as he went back to his human form, "What with these things?"

"A better question is what are these things," Yukari stated.

"Who cares about what they are," Kurumu said, "How do we kill them?"

"I hate to admit it but milk jugs is right," Mizore said while firing more ice kunai at the hollow but it had no effect. Kokoa tries to use her weapon and flatten the hollow, but was smacked to the side for her efforts. "Damn," she cursed as she got back to her feet, "What the hell are we suppose to do?"

All of the sudden a burst of energy appeared and destroyed one of the hollows. The representatives from Yokai Academy were stunned at what they saw, and then Ruby saw where the attack came and said, "Look over there."

The others looked at the direction that Ruby was pointing and saw a girl wearing a black kimono, short black hair, and a zanpakuto strapped to her side. It was Rukia. Rukia then used the flash step and cut another hollow down the middle.

She looked at the newspaper club and asked, "Are you guys okay?"

"Yeah," Yukari answered, "More or less."

"Who are you," Kurumu asked as another hollow appeared.

"Get down," Rukia ordered as prepares to use kido again, "HADO #31: SHAKKAHO!"

Rukia fired a red fire ball like sphere at the hollow and destroyed it. Ruby and the others saw what Rukia did in disbelief.

'Wait a minute,' Ruby thought, 'She wears a black kimono, has a zanpakuto, and does those types of spells.'

'She couldn't be,' Yukari thought, realizing what Rukia is.

'She's a…soul reaper.'

"You all need to get out of here while you can," Rukia warned, "Because something tell there will more hollows coming this way."

She was correct as the sky rips open and another army of hollows came out. Rukia draws out her zanpakuto as Ichigo and Neliel appears beside her, ready for battle.

"That's great," Ichigo complained, "You guys ready for round 2?"

Moka and Tsukune saw the hollows approaching their friends. Then Moka nodded to Tsukune and said boy removed the Rosario from Moka's chocker. It was at that point the sky changed color, from blue to a blood red, and the pink-haired Moka was gone and her silver-haired counterpart appeared. Ichigo, Rukia, and Neliel saw the transformation and notice a sudden rise of spiritual pressure.

"What the hell," Ichigo said, "That spirit energy."

"Somebody's spiritual pressure was just spiked," Rukia stated, "But is it coming from her?"

Neliel looked at the new silver-haired Moka and felt high amounts of spirit energy when the vampire opened her eyes. "Yes, it's coming from her."

Moka walked towards the hollows in a calm but menacing way causing the ones with a zanpakuto to step back. But those who knew Moka knows what she was about to do to those hollows.

"I don't know what kind of monsters you are," the Inner Moka said, "But if you try to come after us again, I'll make pay dearly. Now, KNOW YOUR PLACE!"

Then Moka kicked one of the hollow and send it flying into a group of them and destroyed all of them.

"No way," Ichigo said surprised.

"She destroyed a group of hollows," Rukia said shocked.

"With one kick," Neliel finished scared.

Then another hollow showed up behind Moka but was dealt with quickly by the vampire. After that, another group of hollows swarmed around the vampire. Ichigo flash stepped towards Moka and defeated the hollows around her.

"Nice one, Ichigo," Neliel commented.

Moka turned to the substitute soul reaper and said, "I don't recall asking for help."

"Hey, you should be thanking me for saving you ass," Ichigo fired back, "If I didn't, you would've been eaten."

"That's what you believe, huh?"

"Ichigo, behind you," Rukia warned her soul reaper comrade as a hollow appeared behind him. Then Moka swiftly destroyed the creature with another powerful kick.

"There," she said, "Now we're even."

'That boy may call her Moka, but her name should be Byakuya,' Ichigo thought, judging by the silver haired vampire's attitude. More hollow appeared by second. As Ichigo was about to attack, the hollows were quickly destroyed. Trying to figure out what happened, he saw Gin in his wolf form using his high speed to destroy the hollow. Then Ichigo saw hollow falling from the sky completely slashing, so he looked up and saw Kurumu in her true form using her nail to slash the monster. Ichigo turned to his left saw Kokoa grabbing the pet bat, Ko, and changed into a hammer and smashed some of the hollows. He then turned to his right and saw the two witches, Yukari and Ruby, using their magic to destroy some of the hollows as well. Finally, Ichigo saw the remaining hollows getting shot down by some ice-made knives. He looked at Rukia, but she shook indicating that she didn't do it. He then looked at Mizore, saw her ice claws and thinks that she was the one that did it. Tsukune then ran to Ichigo and said, "Thanks for your help."

"Tsukune, don't get near them," Moka warned, "We don't who they are or what they are?"

"Geez, that's a very nice way to say 'thank you'," Ichigo said irritated, "But your friend said it better."

"Come on, Moka," Tsukune said to his vampire friend, "These guys gave us a hand; we should at least give them a chance."

"Fine," Moka said while taking her Rosario back, "But if you're wrong, they're finished."

After she put her Rosario back on, the pink haired Moka returned. Everyone else went back to their human forms as well.

"Now, who and what are you guys anyways," Tsukune asked.

"We'll tell you," Rukia said, "Now is not the time or place. Meet us at the Urahara Shop in one hour and we'll tell you what you need to know."

After that was said, the newspaper club went about their business as Ichigo, Neliel and Rukia went back to the Kurosaki Clinic.

Next time, the newspaper club learns what Ichigo and two of his friends are and begin their year in Karakura High. How will this affect Ichigo and the others?

A/N: I had an idea to give Neliel the sword techniques that Zoro and Brook use, even though she has one sword.
