AN: Hey guys sorry for the wait, here is the chapter!
I guess it's time for me to start doing it so let's go... I don't own Bleach, That honor belongs to Tite Kubo and Fate/Stay night and Fate/Grand Order belongs to Kinoko Nasu and TYPE-MOON(If there is another company responsible for the development of Grand Order please let me know). On with the story.

Ichigo stared mouth agaped at the stunning women in front of him. She was Alaya? The supposed Goddess of this realm? Now, He knew that he shouldn't be so surprised, When he first saw Yoruichi he never considered that the talking cat would be in reality a beautiful women and many of the shinigamis in the Soul Society, although having a young appearence, were at least over a hundred years old. But he was expecting Alaya to be like old man Yama was, an elder and powerful figure...well at least he was right about the powerful part, her presence was as suffocating as Aizen's final form when he fused with the hougyoku. Then her words finally sunk down in his head.
-''If you don't mind me asking, How do you know about all of this?'', Knowing about his name? That was something he already expected. Knowing from where he was and his status as the ''Hero'' of Soul Society? Nope, that was very unexpected.
Alaya looked at the orange haired teen and started to walk in his direction, stopping just a few centimeters from him.
-''I think you could call me a God or Goddess since I'm a part of the planet and mankind's unconscious will.I will give you a little explanation dear Ichigo. Before the creation of what is called the universe, all gods were actually just one big ''mass'' of energy that kept floating in the emptiness of space. With time, this mass of energy started to evolve and separate itself in different parts, transforming into sentient beings that later would be called as gods. Each god held a vast amount of power and with it they created their own dimensions or in other words,the parallel universes that the human scientists love to talk about. Since all gods were one being before, there's still a small ''connection'' between us all. That ''connection'' allows us to know and even watch the main events that transpire in the different worlds and it's heroes'', Alaya then gave a predatory smirk that made a chill crawl up his spine and moved her lips to his ear,'' I must say that between all the heroes that I saw you are the only one that really caught my attention '', Ichigo's face flushed a bright red as the goddess practically purred these words at him, and he took some steps back.
-'' Then, if you have so much knowledge about me you should also know how I'm here right?'', She just frowned at his question and shook her head.
-'' What I meant by knowing the main events would be Aizen's downfall and Yhwach's defeat...putting in other words, things that could have disrupted the balance of your world leading it to it's destruction''.
-''Is that so?'', He couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
-'' Yes, So tell me Ichi-kun, how did you get here?''.
Ichi-kun? He was slightly annoyed at the nickname but decided to ignore it.
-''I don't really know,'' He scratched his left cheek,'' One moment I was running in the garganta and the next thing I know is that I'm here''.
-'' I see, So what is the reason of your visit''. She had a slight guess about his visit.
-'' To ask if you have a way for me to go back'', Alaya could just sigh, she was right then.
-'' Sorry Ichi-kun but at the moment I don't have anything that could help you'', Ichigo's shoulder's slumped down, he has considered this possibility but it still didn't make it any better. Suddenly, EMIYA's voice interrupted them...
-'' So berry boy is from another world huh? Alaya-sama, wouldnt be wise then to bring Zelretch here? I'm sure he could be a great help to the carrot''.
Ichigo was so caught in his conversation with the goddess that he almost forgot that the white haired bastard and Scathach were there. Speaking of the crimson eyed beauty, she was sending him a look that clearly spoke '' we will have a talk later''. His attention turned back to Alaya when she spoke again.
-'' That's a great suggestion EMIYA! The only problem is that the old man keeps jumping from dimension to dimension so I it would take a long time to track him'', Turning to Ichigo, she stared at his warm brown eyes,'' Don't worry Ichi-kun, I've said that it's not possible to find a way now but give me some time and I can create a way to you''.
-'' Really?'', The young shinigami asked with wide eyes.
''Of course! Just give me 6 months'', She replied with a grin. Ichigo couldn't contain his happiness at the news and gave a full smile. Both Alaya and Scathach felt a blush make it's way to their cheeks. Ichigo then remembered something.
-'' You say 6 months but doesn't the Throne of Heroes exist outside time?''.
-'' Silly Ichigo, while that is true, the Throne of heroes has it's own flow of time so there's still days and nights here.'' Her tone was amused,'' But you don't think that this will be for free right?'' This time she spoke seriously.
-'' Nah, I'm not naive enough to think that it would be for free'', There was a small hint of humor in his tone, and that made Alaya's expression soften a little,'' So... Whats the catch?''.
Alaya put a finger over her mouth and made a pose as if she was thinking really hard, She then gave a sly smile to the teen.
-'' What about warming up my bed tonight?'' She spoke seductively.
-''W-w-whah'' He stuttered with his mouth agape. Alaya couldn't hold anymore and burst out into a fit of laughter.
-'' Alaya-sama could you please stop joking?'' Scathach's icy voice resonated through the room.
-'' S-Sorry but I couldn't resist he is so cute when he is embarassed'', She squeaked and finally calmed down,'' Ichigo my proposal is for you to be a part of my Counter Force during your stay in the Throne of Heroes''.
-"WHAT!'' , Two indignant exclamations were shouted. Ichigo just scratched the back of his head.
-'' Well I don't even know what this Counter Force is about so if you could please enlighten me about it, I would be grateful''.
-'' The job of the Counter Force is to guard human history and prevent threats that could lead to the destruction of mankind'', Alaya looked intensely at him,'' I'll be honest Ichigo, many times the enemy will be the humans themselves,terrorists,politicians,sometimes supernatural creatures and so on, many times killing will be needed, so I ask you again, will you accept my proposal?''.
Ichigo didn't like the idea of killing human beings but from what she said, it was a sacrifice needed to save the innocents.''My name means number one protector and thats exactly what I'll do, if to save innocent people from harm I need to paint my blade with blood then be it'', Looking directly at the red headed deity, Ichigo's eyes began to glow a faint blue, showing his resolve.
-'' We have a deal''.

AN: I was planning on posting the chapter earlier and a Mondaiji one shot too, but when I started to write them it somehow turned into a Rise of the Guardians/Frozen crossover, I'm a big fan of ROTG and Jack Frost is one of my favorite characters of all time(so much potential, especially with the 300 years being alone, they could have gone in some really dark routes if it wasn't the fact that its a dreamworks movie.-.) I recommend it to you guys if you want a cool animated movie to watch... and Jack x elsa is one of my favorite pairings ever. Also sorry if there is any type of grammatical error in the chapter,it wan't chaos083 who did the proofread of the chapter, this time It was a friend of mine that has proofread the chapter, his english is really good but he is still a Brazilian like me so mistakes are still a high possibility, if you see any mistake please let me know so later I can arrange them. And a BIG THANK YOU Guys, this story has reached 115 favorites and 157 followers, I never expected something like this!( Honestly I was expecting to have more or less 5 to 10 favorites and followers at maximum by the end of the story).
Now to the reviews!
Bunny153539: Hey thanks for the review, I recommend to check out the Mondaiji light novels, the anime just covered 2 volumes and the LN starts to get crazy from vol 3 onwards, there are currently 11 volumes translated to english if I not wrong, My plan is still for the end game to be Ichigo x Scathach but as you can see Alaya will be the Yoruichi or Rangiku of this story haha.
Neema Amiry: Glad to see that you're enjoying it.
ShadowGOUF: Thanks, I'm happy that my story is being entertaining and interesting to everybody :D
King Edgar: Yeah we seriously need more Gon x Neferpitou stories in the HxH fandom, Now I don't have anything against yaoi stories but it's a big let down when more than 95% of the stories of the fandom are yaoi, there are many cool females in Hunter x Hunter( of course nobody get's close to pitou but still) so why not make some cool fanfics with them?... Now that I calmed down, thanks for dropping a review :)
Flaminbutturkey: Glad to see someone enjoying this so much, There will be more next week!
Gabriel790: Thanks!
The Man: It's cool to see that you liked it bro, I was actually hesitant on publishing this story but now I'm happy that I did it if it means a fun read to anyone.
maxigiampieri2012: Thanks :D glad That I convinced you to favorite hehe.
Guest: I've heard about manyu hikenchou but never really watched it but from the images I saw, the girls are really beautiful so I'll probably check it out and write a crossover with bleach in the future.
SomethingAncient: Hey thanks for the review :) Now about you questions... In my story Ichigo is as strong as a captain in bankai in his human body and being capable of using his powers in his body I simply didn't see why he would need to go in his spritual form, and about him disappearing, It's been a long time since I've read or watched the beginning of bleach but from what I remember, souls are made of reishi so without reishi or with a small quantity of it in the air they would disappear( I remember of a Bleach/Shingeki no kyoujin crossover that had a big discussion in the comments saying that if there weren't any reishi in the air, a soul would disappear, if you would like I can send the link of the story to you later, but if it's wrong then I apologize, but it will be this way in this story) and I hope that you're having a good day/night too, god bless you too bro :D
Ulquimaru3: Thanks for reviewing man, I can understand that some wouldn't like perverted Hichigo( I personally find him hillarious) but you can relax he will not just make perverted comments all the time, he will give some good advice or talk about normal things with Ichigo, and about him being jealous... it's more of a physical attraction that he is feeling, Ichigo is dense as a rock but he is still 19 so his hormones should be still kicking haha, but don't worry, I'll try to make their relationship evolve at a convincing speed(the word is try since I've never wrote romance before, actually I never wrote before creating this story.-.) I hope that you're having a good day too!
Zaralann: Thanks! I'm happy that it got your attention.
Warrior of six blades: Thanks man, I'm trying to take it slow with the development of their relationship, it always bothered me a little to see the girl falling in love in the first ''hour'' that she met the guy(not that some of the stories that this happens are bad, but still), as I said, I will included some slice of life chapters to explore their relationship, and yeah archer can look like a total jackass at first, I had that impression too but after some time I started to like his character, glad that their interactions are at least convincing hehe, and I hope that your questions regarding Alaya were answered in this chapter :)
Guest: Iwill make more bleach/Fate crossovers in the future so there's a high possibility making these girls be a part of his future harem's haha.
BrokenLifeCycle: Thanks for the tips!, Yeah the first two chapters weren't that good but I hope that it got better from chapter 3 till now, please let me know if you see more errors :)
Paxloria: Thanks I see the contradiction now, I was trying to say that while the heroes die young(between 25 and 30 generally) it's still difficult to find heroic spirits as young as Ichigo xD. Now about how well EMIYA and Arturia get along, let's say that they don't hate each other but at the same time aren't the best friends, and Gilgamesh... Yeah not even in a million years EMIYA would live in his kingdom haha.
