WARNING: Violence, CUSSING, AND IMPLIED CONTENT
Author's Note: I know these names are familiar. This story takes place about 200 or so years after BLEACH. Story is still based in Karakura town. Sorry for misspellings and any improper facts about Japanese Law, since I don't live in Japan.

Her raven hair glinted and shined in the dim light of the kitchen. Sage immediately gulped. His aunt honestly scared him. As a martial artist, his aunt was unstoppable. But, of course, she was easily embarrassed by anything romantic. Scattering her groceries everywhere, she collapsed to the floor, unconscious, shocking the teens out of their blissful euphoria. Looking at Tatsuki, Sage knew it was only a matter of time before he was screwed so he did the thing any rational male teenager would do:
"May, will you go out with me?" May shot him a glance that seemed to say 'are you stupid?' and nodded yes. Kissing her one more time, Sage mentally hi-fived himself and moved Tatsuki to the couch in the other room. Remembering he had no shirt on, Sage grabbed one of his black hoodies and threw it on. Hearing a disapproving moan from May made Sage grin cheekily at her. Pouting, May gathered Tatsuki's groceries and put them on the counter. Sage returned to the kitchen to find nothing to help May with, looking out the window, Sage jumped in shock at the moon about half way up the sky. "May… do you live with someone?" Sitting across from him, May shook her head in a slightly dejected no.
"I inherited that house from my grandmother, Yoruichi Shinouin… why?" Sage pointed to the moon behind her. Gasping in shock, my whipped her cell phone from the pocket of her skinny jeans. Groaning, and cussing under her breath (or so Sage thought), May got up as if to leave, but Sage reached out and Grabbed her wrist.
"Where are you going? Thought you didn't live with anyone." Smirking, Sage pulled her in for another kiss. Sighing dejectedly, May shook her head with a smile on her face. "The thing about having a three story house is that there's always room for guests." Sage was right, the three story building had plenty of rooms, the first floor was the kitchen/living area, the second floor was all bedrooms, and the third was a rentable apartment.
A currently UNUSED apartment.
Getting up, Sage turned before May could see… anything Important… started boiling water. "Want some vegetable soup?" still with his back to her, Sage didn't see the look of incredulity that crossed May's face. 'He can COOK?' May was dumbfounded. Never had Sage offered to cook before. Still in shock, May mumbled out an 'ok'.
"Sage, I need to get some things from my house, be right back." May said over her shoulder as she closed the front door behind her.
Not 5 seconds later, the screaming began.
Dashing out the door, Sage saw may surrounded by a gang of teenage boys. Pinned to the ground, May fought her captors with everything she had; Sage heard a bone snap from the 10 feet away he was. Seeing her there made Sage do the one thing he promised himself he would never do again. Pulling out his necklace, green sparks began to burn around him as he called on the power it possessed. Pure white energy flowed around his body, forming a Martial arts Gi, as well as a pale green coat with 2 long tails and long sleeves. It only connected in the middle of his chest, where the geographic skull symbol from his glove was visible. Stepping out of the shadows, the power rolled and shifted as he stalked towards the gang of teens. One looked up and saw him. Absolute terror filled the nameless gang member's eyes. Screaming and running, the teen left. The remaining gang members looked up to see what caused their friend to flee. After that, there were only 3 members of the gang remaining. The leader was none other than Jak Ikasoruk. His 2 remaining thugs were odd. One was a pale, thin boy with blueish-black hair and rectangular glasses. The other thug was a large muscular teen that looked like he should be an adult. His Hispanic skin was unusual in Japan, so Sage figured he would remember the man if he saw him again. "Get away from her, Jak…" Sage's voice decidedly sounded different to him. Unable to tell why, he left his threat hanging in the air. Jak stood. Pulling a pentagon shaped piece of wood from his pocket, Jak slammed his hand against his chest. Sage's confusion only increased when after a flash of light, there were 2 Jaks. One wearing his street clothes, the other a black kimono. (at least that's what Sage thought it was)when the kimono-wearing Jak pulled out a katana, Sage brought out his own weapon. A trident made of green fire, this time emerald, along with the jacket shading to emerald and forming into bat-like wings. Both teens entered a ready position, in a flash it had begun.
Jak dashed forward attempting an overhand slash aimed to split Sage's skull in half. Sage's feet were coated in green sparks as he spun his trident and deflected the slash then quickly tried to gut Jak in the same motion. Jak flashed away quickly, and shouted "Hado number 4! Byakurai!" A burst of white lightning exploded from his fingertips. Sage's eyes widened as he launched himself to the side, but not fast enough as he was still struck in the shoulder and sent sprawling onto a nearby roof. As Sage struggled to his feat, blood seeping from his shoulder, Jak flashed in front of him and whispered, "any last words, dumbass?"Looking out of the corner of his eye, Sage saw the Hispanic skinned boy pull out a cell phone. The pale boy was moving May away from the fight, surprisingly to Sage's house. "I'll take that as a no…" Jak brought his Katana down at a diagonal, but Sage leaned back, receiving a cut across his right eye instead of a split skull. Jak swung again but Sage managed to move out of the way once more, another slash crossed his eye in the other direction, creating a bloody X over his right eye. Sage's wings shortened as his wounds healed at an accelerated rate, his trident reappearing in his hands. Without missing a step, Sage flashed away, green sparks flying from his feet. Jak froze, unable to sense his opponent… right up till the fiery trident pierced his body, causing him to cough up blood. At that moment, a woman with orange hair like Ichigo's turned the corner. Screaming, she ran towards the two boys. Sage flashed from the roof tp the ground, setting the body of his opponent on the ground, trying to give Jak Isakoruk the extra few minutes it would take for an ambulance to arrive. "Sōten Kisshun, I Reject!" the mysterious woman cried as a bubble of orange energy appeared over Jak. Sage didn't notice. He was using his remaining energies to heal the small nicks and cuts on May. With his energies gone his emerald wings dissipated from the stubs they were by the end from lack of energy. Cradling May in his arms, he sat on the porch of his families' house, blood running down the right side of his face.
As dawn broke, May awoke to see Jak sleeping on the sidewalk in front of Sage's house, Nic Ishida sitting next to Jak's mother, Jenifer Ikasoruk, who was looking concernedly over her son. The gentle giant, Chad Yasotora III, was on the phone with an unknown person whispering quietly. Looking to the horizon, she saw a silhouette with spiky hair walking towards the house. Looking up, May realized Sage was holding her.
And he had a scarred X across his face

A/N: Ok, for those of you wondering why I'm not posting on my other story, Hate of Cataclysmic Proportions, It's simple. I'm trying to make it as good as possible, and without a BETA reader, it takes longer. I've had this chapter done for a while so I decided to post it. Also I've been told I forgot to tell the song rights in the other story… I'll fix that… *sigh* so much to do so little time…
Anyways… opinions are valued so 2+ positive reviews to continue this
