Hey, I know I haven't updated in a while and I'm sincerely sorry about that. I've been really caught up with some crap in school and other stuff none of you readers probably give a shit about. So! I'm posting the new chapter hopefully by Christmas as a little gift to you guys. So I ask my readers to please review as a Christmas present for me. Anyways, onward to the chapter! (I don't own Fairy Tail or Bleach)- Chaos Keeper

Erza led me to a small building that looked plain when you look at the rest of Magnolia. We entered through a worn, wooden door with a small window on the top of it.

"Hey, I need a sword custom-made for a friend!" Erza shouted as a small man ran up to us.

"Oh, Erza… and you brought a friend. The mistress is just this way, if you please" the tiny man said his displeasure at my presence evident.

I growled at him as we passed by and he glared back.

"Impudent animal" he whispered as I passed by.

"Midgety bastard" I muttered in response.

Erza sighed, grabbed my hand and led me to a large room.

"What the fuck! This room is big enough to hold my house and Inoue's but still have plenty of room. How is that even possible when it looked so small from the outside' I thought as I gazed in amazement all around me.

"Welcome, Erza" I heard a female voice speak. I turned my head towards the speaker to see a woman with long, jet-black hair wearing a red velvet dress with pale skin and gray eyes sitting in a throne at the end of the huge room.

Erza got on one knee and bowed her head.

"Lady Persephone" Erza said with respect.

I merely stood a bit taller while my face immediately set into its usual scowl. Out of nowhere two tall men in black suits appeared next to her and aimed shotguns at my head.

"Bow to Lady Persephone; or die" they growled as one.

Irritation flowed through my mind as I frowned.

"Why should I bother to get on my knees for someone I don't even know let alone respe-" I started before one of them men fired a shotgun round into my right calf. I screamed in pain as I fell to one knee.

"You'll kneel if I make it so you can't stand" the one who shot at me said.

I glared at him as I slowly forced myself to stand while blood freely flowed from the wound on my leg. Anger flooded my system as I heard the second gunshot and time seemed to slow down as I felt power similar to Shiro's reiatsu flood my body. I narrowed my eyes and forced my body to move as I rushed forward and caught the slow-motion bullet before continuing to rush towards the man who fired it.

I pulled back my fist with the bullet in it and slammed my palm into his face, flattening the bullet on impact and sending him crashing into the wall behind him. I flipped over to the other bodyguard and quickly rendered him unconscious, keeping him from making any dangerous movements before returning to where I was originally; out of breath.

Time sped up as the results of my actions became noticed which I was able to find out by Erza's look of surprise.

"Well done, Ichigo" I heard a familiar, cryptic voice compliment. I turned with wide eyes to see a few familiar faces that I never thought I'd be seeing so soon and I was happy I could.

Right now you must be thinking 'You bastard! I'll kill you for making the chapter so short and leaving me with that huge question mark.' Ah, but I did it purposely; why you may ask. Because this way you hunger for more and can't wait to continue the next chapter so, while ur sitting there plotting my death why not click that review button to kill some time. Who knows maybe if I get enough good reviews I'll speed up the typing of the new chapter XD. Anyways, merry Christmas readers- Chaos Keeper
