Rukia Kuchiki hops through the rooftops, looking around the neighborhood. She gazes at a certain house and can feel the soul energy coming from inside the house. "There. That must be where the Hollow is."
She jumps and lands on the open window to enter inside. The lieutenant Soul Reaper looks around and doesn't see anyone due to the darkness but she can still sense the presence. "It must be here."
"I'll show you what's here!" A voice shouts out and kicks her on her butt, making her fall to the ground. The lights come on to show a teenager with orange hair. "For a robber, you're not a very good one."
This beautiful petite Soul Reaper is confuse that a living human hit her, a spirit. "You hit me? Wait, you can see me as well?"
"Well since that was foot hitting your rear then yeah I guess I can." He jokes but stops once he gets a good look at her. 'Wow, who knew a cute robber would be the one to break in. Wait what am I thinking?'
He shakes the dirty thoughts and glares at the intruder. "Alright Midget, you're going to tell me who you are."
The midget comment gets Rukia pissed. If Renji saw her face, he would run for the hills. "Midget huh?! Bakudo 1: Sai."
Suddenly Ichigo's arms go to his back and he falls on the ground. "The hell did you do?"
"That would be Kido you brat. Now to do my mission." Rukia takes out her katana and the teenager begins to freak out that she is going to kill him as she uses the hilt and slams it next to him, hitting a ghost and it is scared.
"P-please don't send me to hell…" He begs but she gives a kind smile to reassure him. "Don't worry. You are going to heaven. Your loved ones are waiting."
The ghost feels at peace and disappears from the teenager's view. "What did you do to him?"
"I sent him to the Soul Society where he can live in peace in the afterlife. Now let me show you." Rukia takes a notepad from her kimono and grabs a pen from the desk. She draws a rabbit that is 'adorable' and then makes an evil rabbit to explain her job.
"I am a Soul Reaper and it is my job to cleanse Souls that are stuck in the living world. However there are spirits that become corrupted called Hollows and I slay them before they kill Souls. Now, is there anything you want to ask?" She asks the teenager and he looks at the drawings.
"Yeah… Why is your rabbit derpy?"
Rukia gains a tickmark from that remark and draws a french mustache on him. "What the hell?!"
"Now listen Monsieur…" She stops herself once she hears screaming. The young voice makes this mortal move like crazy.
"Yuzu! Turn this off right now! That's my sister!" He moves his hands, trying to undo the kido. Rukia tries to stop him from hurting himself.
"Hey stop, let me go save her. You'll break your arms if you keep moving." She said however he stands up and breaks the kido, much to the shock of the Kuchiki heiress. He runs outside, leaving her to follow him. 'Did he break using sheer strength? Just who is this mortal?'
They run out and see Yuzu down with a wound on her forehead. Ichigo comforts her and she tries to warn. "Big bro, Karin needs you. Something grab her."
She passes out and Rukia checks on her. "Don't worry, she just passed out. You said you have another sister?"
"Yes but where-" He suddenly stops once he hears shouting.
"Ichigo!"
"Karin!" The orange-haired student runs out with Rukia following him. Outside, Karin is being grab by a Hollow and is about to eat her but the Soul Reaper slices it's arm off and Karin is grabbed by her big brother.
"Ichigo… Why the hell do you have a mustache? Nevermind, get out of here." She tries to get her brother to get away from the monster but he shakes his head as he does his best to rip the marker off him.
"I'm not going to leave you Karin. I'll fight that bastard for hurting you." He assures her as the Hollow roars and prepares to strike them down however Rukia blocks the attack but crashes through the Kurosaki house. Ichigo runs to Rukia and sees she is injured. She realizes she can't use her shikai as doing so could hurt the people sleeping.
The Hollow comes to them and Rukia knows what she has to do. She takes her katana and points it at the student. "Listen to me, I can transfer a portion of my power into you. I need to stab you however to do it."
"I can protect my family with your power?" He asks her and she nods. He grabs the sword and places it to his chest. However he realizes he hasn't introduced himself yet. "Then let's do this. I am Ichigo Kurosaki."
"Rukia Kuchiki, Soul Reaper of the Gotei 13. Good luck, Ichigo Kurosaki." With that, she thrusts the katana into him and energy courses through him. The Hollow rushes at them but a bright light blinds it and it's arm is cut off. It turns to see Ichigo in Soul Reaper clothes leaning on a cane. He smiles at the monster as it roars and charges at him. Rukia is in white robes and watches in shock as Ichigo takes the handle off the cane to reveal a blade and pierces it rapidly.
"A Shikomizue. But how is it possible? Most of my powers went into him." Rukia can't even sense Sode No Shirayuki. Ichigo chops off it's leg and the Hollow falls towards him. He pierces it's head and ice encompesses it. Once it falls, The Hollow's head breaks and Ichigo looks at his sister. He smiles that she is safe however he passes out.
Sode No Shirayuki looks around the inner world of her new host. It appears to be a ghost ship surrounded by the ocean and mist. A voice can be heard that appears to be singing.
YO-HOHOHO~
Going to Deliver Binks' Sake~
Following the sea breeze! Riding on the waves!
"Oh hello madam." The figure in the mist stops singing and steps out of it to introduce himself. A fashionable skeleton with an afro comes out and tilts his hat to the ice woman.
"A pleasure to meet you, I am Ichigo's Zanpakuto: Brook."
She isn't frightened by the skeleton, he doesn't seem threatening or scary. "Hello Brook, I am Sode No Shirayuki. It seems we are now both the Zanpakuto Spirits of Ichigo Kurosaki."
"How exciting to have another guest. I would love to ask you something." Brook said as he looks at the curious spirit. The last thing that can be heard in the Inner World is yelling and ice coming out of the ship. "First Dance, White Moon!"
"AH! AH! So cold!"
"Ichigo! You're okay!" Keigo Asano jumps at his friend who steps out of the way and he crashes through the classroom floor. Mizuiro Kojima meanwhile just smiles to see Ichigo is alright from a truck crashing into his house but notices something odd.
"Ichigo, why are you wearing sunglasses inside?" Mizuiro which makes other classmates notice the orange oakleys he is wearing. This makes him remember about them and he pulls out a letter.
"Thanks for reminding me about this. Rubble from the crash hit my eye so I'm wearing these to hide the injury. Here is the letter from my old man." He reveals and hands the letter to Ms Ochi. Many classmates feel bad for him and someone comes up to him. He looks up and sees the woman from last night.
"Ichigo Kurosaki? My name is Rukia Kuchiki. Could you please give me one of your textbooks?"
"Rukia?" He wonders about her but she holds out her hand. There is writing on it. 'Talk and you are dead.'
'So sinister…' Ichigo can't help but think to himself.
On the roof, Ichigo and Rukia meet up for her to explain. "You see Ichigo, when I gave you my powers the ritual messed up and you now have most of my Soul Reaper abilities. Now I need you to do my duties until I can get my Zanpakuto spirit back."
"I see." Ichigo is calm at this revelation. After all, he is a teenager that deals with ghosts all his life. He is however curious about something else as he takes off his sunglasses. "I have two questions. Is this a side effect?"
He points at his eye to reveal no eyeball, just a socket. In fact, the sunglasses hide missing skin. You can even see his skull. This shocks Rukia and she tries to think of how this happened. "Maybe because you are still alive, my power is messing with your body. I'm sorry for making you into this."
"I'm okay about it. I get to protect the town and family with these powers thanks to you. No skin off my back. Though I guess I'm not going to have skin soon." He jokes about his new look. Rukia can't help but laugh.
"Heh, thank you Ichigo. By the way, what is your other question?"
Ichigo gives her a very serious look. Rukia feels that this is an important question. She can't help but respect this mortal.
"Can I see your panties?" He asks which shocks Rukia. She gets angry and kicks him in the face and he crashes on the rail.
"Freaking perv!" She shouts with blush all over her face.
The new Soul Reaper isn't in pain, if anything he just laughs it off. "YO-HOHOHO!"
This is a tale of romance and fun between a man turning into a skeleton and a ghost ice woman whose heart is thawing.
