Back with another chapter! Sorry, but I need to vent a little so please bear with me on this. I've been stuck in school (which already sucks cuz' I'm stuck with idiots who can't bother to pull their heads out of their asses for more than 2 god damn seconds) then I gotta go to tutoring with a teacher who talks to me like I'm a fucking dumbass while simultaneously making my life living hell. Not only that but I get to have shit thrown at me every day, bitched at by multiple assistant principals, talked shit to by little fucking 3rd graders who can't even speak English right, get laughed at cuz' I don't go to school dances, carnivals, etc. and have to fight damn near every fucking kid on campus. What fun my life is!

ANYWAYS, back to the story. To The Dark Night 67, Ichigo was mad at Erza because if you remember he hates orders, she refused to talk to him directly at the beginning, not to mention he was slightly wary of her because he didn't know her, and pulled out a weapon on his ass. If I was Ichigo I would have been pretty pissed, plus remember he was just sent to another dimension and has absolutely no clue what the fuck is going on and he was just betrayed by someone he had thought to be his closest friend (Kugo Ginjo) so he's not very trusting also (stated inside the chapter) he is showing her how hopeless it is to fight against him. Zanka No Tachi 31- thanks for the constructive critiscm. I'm still working on set up with the paragraphs and extra bull shit. So, sorry about it like I stated earlier in the story I'm a new writer and plus fanfiction isn't helpful when it comes to instructions about paragraph set up. To the guest that suggested that it take place after the Quincy War arc, I've considered it and have an idea that may come into play later in the story. The only reason that it isn't after the War is because of two reasons. 1) I haven't really read and understood that portion of the manga, which is why this is based off the anime. 2) I'm not too familiar with his fighting style so I can't very well do fight scenes like that, now can I?

Chapter 3: My first job, what could go wrong?

I opened the huge doors of the Fairy Tail guild hall as roaring flames flew straight at me.

"AAAARRRGGGHHHH" I roared as the flames slammed into my chest and licked my face.

I was sent flying backwards, out of the guild hall, and crashed into the street, leaving a smoking crater where I landed. The guild rushed outside to see who was hit with the flames before some of them cowered in fear as I rose from the crater my body had created. I glared at the pink haired kid who had breathed flames at me. He was slowly walking towards me with an embarrassed grin on his face.

"You bastard" I roared and rushed towards him with my fists raised.

He turned just in time to catch a right hook with his face. He flew into the guild hall and crashed into a few tables, sending debris into the air. He jumped free of the debris and breathed comical fire. We rushed towards each other and clashed.

By the time our fight was over the entire guild hall was trashed and more than half the guild was either unconscious or laying on the floor barely awake. We both stood panting and badly bruised but each with a grin on our faces. We walked up to each other and fist bumped.

"Nice fight, kid" I said with respect in my voice. He nodded and gave me thumbs up before an ominous aura slowly rose behind us. We both turned to see Erza standing behind us with her hair hiding her eyes from view.

"You two…." She began before grabbing our heads and smashing them together. We both leapt to our feet.

"What the hell was that for" we roared at the exact same time before looking at each other and bursting into uncontrollable laughter at how stupid we sounded while Erza just looked at us in confusion. I held my stomach in pain as my eyes began to tear up and I fell to my knees.

"Natsu!" I heard someone yell as Natsu turned to see a man dressed in a dark blue T matching his midnight blue hair and dark green cargo pants walk over to us.

As soon as they were near each other they began fighting both verbally and physically while I merely ignored them, stuck my hands into my pockets, and walked over to the request board.

That is, until a pair of dark green pants flew in front of my face followed by a female voice screaming "Gray, your clothes!"

I growled, snatched the pants out of the air, and flashed in front of Gray. He looked at me in surprise before I slammed my fist (holding the pants) into his face. He fell to the floor unconscious.

"Put on some damn clothes, you bastard" I growled before flashing back to the request board.

'Destroy book for me, please' one of the requests read.

"Seems relatively easy" I growled under my breath before Happy, annoying as always jumped on my shoulder.

"What ya up to, Ichigo" the blue cat shouted in my ear.

I shrugged him off and ripped the request off the board and began walking away.

"Ichigo, watch out!" I heard Mira call as Natsu flew into me while Erza who usually stopped these fights before they progressed this far was calmly eating her cake a few tables away. A dark aura surrounded me as I got up and shadows hid my eyes from view. Natsu scrambled away in fear and everyone else tensed up. I took one look at their scared faces and started laughing which confused them to no end.

Eventually when the laughter let up and I could finally speak I heard Natsu ask "So Lucy, Ichigo you wanna join a team with me and Happy."

Lucy looked confused for a moment before she asked "A team?"

Suddenly, a girl with light blue hair appeared with a smile on her face scaring the shit out of me. "A team is a group if wizards inside a guild that take on missions together because some of them can get pretty tough alone" she explained.

"And you are…" I began.

"I'm Levy McGarden and these are my teammates Jet and Droy. We're team Shadow Gear" she said as two men walked up behind her slowly.

I took a good look at all three of them. Levy was short, thin, and pale. Her light blue hair was tied with a bandanna and she wore an orange dress. Jet was tall, had orange hair, and tan skin. He wore a brown overcoat with a dark purple dress shirt underneath and a large brown hat on his head that hid half of his face from view. Droy was about the same height as Jet, with dark blue hair styled in a curl on the top of his head. He wore dark green pants and a white T with two belts crisscrossed over his chest similar to an 'X'. I nodded in understanding as Levy smiled once more as she looked at me.

"Well, you asked my name stranger. What's yours" she asked.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, Substitute Soul Reaper" I said reflexively showing them my Combat Pass.

She looked at me in confusion "Substitute Soul Reaper?"

I nodded "it's a long story. If you want to hear it either go ask Mira over there or wait till I finish this job."

She smiled "ok! I'll be waiting here then, don't forget!" I grinned and began to walk away but Natsu stopped me.

"Ichigo, let us come with you on this job" he asked. I sighed as Happy flew around my head saying "please, please, please, please" repeatedly.

"Is Lucy coming too" I sighed. Lucy began to shake her head in response but Natsu jumped to his feet and nodded.

"Let's go!" he shouted snatching the request from my hand and running off.

"Damn it, Natsu!" I roared and raced after him while Lucy just sighed exasperatedly and followed.

When we arrived at the client's house we all stopped in awe at how extravagant it was except for Lucy. "Come on, guys. We have a job to do" she said as we shook ourselves free of the self-induce stupor. We walked in and were awestruck once more at how ridiculously extravagant it was but we continued on into the main room where the client was waiting.

Flashback

"Please hunt down that gang of bandits. They've caused my family too much pain and sorrow" an old grey man pleaded. We all nodded in agreement as Happy exclaimed "Aye, sir!"

Presently we stood hidden in the trees in front of the mansion that was Minato Kirgakure's house.

Natsu wanted to take the frontal approach and force our way in while Lucy was worried about breaking the law. "You guys distract the front while I try and sneak in" I said and flashed away before either of them could answer and reappeared on the rooftop near a large window.

BOOM!

I turned to see a plume of fire and dust rise into the air as Natsu roared with glee. I turned back to the window and kicked it, shattering it instantly. I flashed back to the front gate as Lucy, dressed in a maid's outfit fell to her knees in despair with tears falling down her face while Happy and Natsu were failing at holding in their laughter.

"Whatever happened with you guys get over it. I found a way in" I said and they all leapt to their feet.

"Lucy, get on my back. Happy, grab Natsu and fly over to that roof" I said and pointed to the roof while Happy nodded and Lucy blushed.

"Damn it, Lucy. This is no time for you to start daydreaming. Come on" I said and got on my knees so she could get on. She nervously wrapped her hands around my neck as she hugged her body against mine and blushed some more as I placed my hands under her legs so she wouldn't fall. Inwardly, my hollow was roaring with laughter while I forced myself to remain focused on the task at hand.

I leaned forward and we appeared in front of the window I had just kicked in.

"Lucy, if you want to change back into your clothes get inside. I'll stand guard outside" I said as she looked around in surprise at where we were before she nodded, got off my back, and walked inside.

Soon, Happy and Natsu landed directly in front of me as Lucy finished changing.

"Let's go" I said and we all walked inside. It looked like a storage area with bookshelves filled with all sorts of strange objects. I heard a shrill scream and turned to see Happy with a demonic looking skull on his face and Lucy in a corner holding herself in fright as Natsu laughed.

I grinned 'Shiro, I'll need your help for this one.'

He grinned 'No problem, king.'

I reached my hand up to my face and said "You think that's scary." They all turned to see my hand in front of my face before black reiatsu obscured me from view.

When they were able to see me once again they all shook in fear at the white mask on my face. It was white and covered my entire face with two large horns protruding from the forehead with two black stripes that went down from the top of the mask over the eyes and down to the skull-like teeth. My eyes were hidden in shadows and when I opened my mouth smoke poured out. Lucy fainted while Happy and Natsu cowered in fear. I wiped my hand in front of my face and the mask vanished as I laughed at their expressions.

"Well that was fun" I said aloud.

'Didn't know you had it in you, king' my inner hollow joked.

'Every once in a while I have to let you out, don't I?' I responded.

"Anyways, we have a job to do so come on" I said and they got up albeit slowly as they recovered from the shock.

We began to sneak through the main hall of the mansion before four men leapt down from above.

"Shit!" I growled under my breath.

Happy grabbed Natsu and flew out of the way while Lucy had stood there in surprise. I swiftly ran over to her, picked her up bridal style, and flashed away before they hit the floor where we once stood.

The first was a hulking man, easily seven feet tall with jet black hair slicked backwards and deep green eyes. He was heavily scarred, had tanned skin, and carried a massive spiked war hammer on his back. He wore baggy pants the color of the night sky and brown military themed boots.

The next two were identical enough to be twins with matching long swords, white spiky hair, and pale skin. They both stood at about 5'8 and simultaneously drew their blades as I noticed the one difference between the two. The one on the right had pitch black eyes, a complete and utter abyss that looked as if it wanted to swallow all light and shove it down where nothing ever escapes. The other had glowing red eyes but that wasn't the disturbing part. It was that the irises were shaped like dragons and moved as if the monster within was alive and wanted to be let loose to wreak havoc upon us tiny insect-like mortals.

The last wore a deep blue robe with the hood up which completely hid his face from view. He wore a white shirt with intricate black patterns that seemed to shift with movement, black combat jeans with a chain comprised of skulls hanging loosely from the left pocket and trailing back into his back one. He had dark camouflaged boots on and black gloves with the kanji for fire and ice on the palms while earth and wind were on the backs.

"Dammit" I growled under my breath as I set Lucy on her feet carefully and drew Zangetsu while preparing to unleash bankai.

Hey guys, sorry it took so long but I finally updated. It's gonna be a lot slower cuz' winter exams are coming up that and sports, etc. is starting to interfere with my writing so it'll be a lot slower going. Please bear with me on this and I'm really leaning towards Mira x Ichigo so, if there are any other suggestions (besides yaoi which I WILL DELETE) please let me know as soon as possible. Anyways, as always review- Chaos Keeper
