Now, to the story...

The Watcher

"Do you want... to save your family?"

"Of course, is there a way?"

"You...must become a Shinigami. Thrust this zanpakutou through your heart...and I'll pour my powers into you. I don't know whether this will work or not, but there isn't any other way."

"...Gimme the sword, shinigami."

"I'm not shinigami. I'm Kuchiki Rukia."

"I'm..."

"...ro...ki ...go"

"Kurosaki Ichigo!" yelled a female teacher. "I know that this is the last period, but that doesn't mean that you can just sleep like that."

"Uh..." he opened his eyes. 'What was that? A dream?' The orange haired teenager lost in his thought. 'Kuchiki Rukia...Was she the girl I saw this morning? A Shinigami?'

"Hoi Ichigo, are you listening?" the teacher asked, unsure.

"Uh...y-yes? Of course I was listening. Haha..." lied the teenager

"...really?" A grin, an evil one, appeared on her face, "then you should be able to repeat my words, right?"

"Ah...uh...t-that's..."

"I see. Kurosaki Ichigo, now STAND OUTSIDE THE CLASS!" she yelled furiously

Ichigo let out a sigh as he walked towards the door. "Damn! Thanks to that 'shinigami' girl..." he mumbled.

"Did you say something, Kurosaki?" the teacher asked, shooting a killing glare to the poor teenager.

"Uh...n-nothing" he answered, trying to give his best smile.

'Sigh...what a day. What was that dream, anyway? It feels so nostalgic. And that girl...how can I know her name?' he thought.

It was a dark, peaceful night. Ichigo was lying on his bed, thinking about what he saw this morning, and his dream, of course. He closed his eyes...when suddenly, he heard a voice.

"What are you doing, Kurosaki Ichigo?"

"Huh?" he opened his eyes. His surrounding was pitch black. He couldn't even saw his own hands. All that he knew was that someone was speaking. A girl was speaking.

"You still have something to do, am I right? To take the life of a man who killed your friends: Aizen."

"A-aizen?" he said, half whispering. His heart beat faster upon hearing the name."W-who are you?"

"I am The Watcher."

"Watcher? What are you talking about? What are you?" he asked, confused.

"I am the one chosen to help you fulfill your goal, and make sure that you do not break the agreement."

"Agreement? What agreement?"

"I am afraid that I may not speak beyond this. Till we meet again..."

"Hey, wait!" the teenager exclaimed. The next thing he knew was that he was already in his room. "Damn! What...was that?" he breathed heavily. "Another dr-"

-Boom!-

A very loud explosion-like sound can be heard. Ichigo rushed downstairs, hoping that his family: his father and sisters were alright.

"W-what the hell is happening here?" Ichigo gaped in disbelief.

He found the clinic's wall had fallen apart. And the culprit, he assumed, was a huge monster-like, masked creature, similar with the one he saw earlier. The different were the shape of the mask, and the size of the creature. The one Ichigo saw earlier is smaller.

"Huh?" he snapped back to reality upon seeing a body, soaked with blood. His eyes widened, "that's...the girl!"

Well, the story is similar with the original one, I know. But it's just the beginning, so please be patient...xD

And oh, please review~!

See ya...
