I do not own BLEACH, but I wished I did.
Don't read if you don't like.
I woke up in a dingy alleyway. Everything around me looked so weird. I didn't know how I got there and I don't remember anything. I tried to stand up but I had a hard time. After falling down a couple of times, I used the wall as a support to get me up. Leaning against the wall helped me stable myself. I remember my name was Kurosaki Ichigo and I remember my age was 23. Starting to move was probably the best idea. I could find out where I was. Once I got out of the alley, I was given the image of a Japanese village. There were stands along the streets selling whatever they harvested, some were selling clothes and others were selling other things. I decieded to approach a stand to figure out where I was.
"Excuse me." I said to an elder man running a little cart of watermelons," Will you tell me where I am?"
"Ah a newbie," the elder started out with, "you are in Soul Society's Hokuta part of West Rukongai. Do you have anywhere to stay at night boy."
"No. I guess I have to find a place." Ichigo replied while scratching the back of his head.
The man said kindly "You could stay with me. I have no company and I need help in my job. I hate paying teenagers to carry my watermelons here. They usually steal them for themselves. You can help with the cart of the watermelons and I will give you your meals and a place to sleep. I will only need you for help with the watermelons, otherwise you could do whatever you want for the rest of the day."
"Thank you so much. What time do you need me back here to help you close up?" Ichigo said gratefully.
"Around 6 would be good."
Ichigo replied a thank you before departing to explore this Soul Society more.
A couple of minutes later.
A white-haired tachio shinigami stopped in front of his favorite watermelon cart.
"The usual Hitsugaya-taicho?" the elder man asked.
"Of course." the stocic captain replied. While the elder was bagging up Toushirou's precious watermelon he asked, "Anything new here?"
"Ah. A new soul came today. He looked like a capable boy. He is gonna live with me now. I could sense some spiritual pressure coming out of him but I can't rate it. I might suggest him to the academy when he feels ready. He is a new one so he must be a little nervous."
"Well I would like to meet this new soul to gauge his reaitsu. I will meet him when you have our annual dinner with Granny." Toushirou said.
"Of course."
"I have to be on my way now. See you in a week." Toushirou left to go back to his office knowing that if he didn't go back soon a sake party just might start because of Matsumoto.
Walking around this place seemed a little weird. I guess it was how I looked, probably my orange hair and when I looked at a mirror my scowl. It looked like it was born on me. I went everywhere and then I started to get hungry. I decided it was time to go back to the elder since the sun looked like it would almost set. Arriving at the cart, I saw the elder was selling his last watermelon. I quickly went over and helped him put away anything that was required to be put away. I picked up the cart by the handles and followed behind the old man to get to his small farm.
The place looked like somewhere that should be called home. It wasn't just a watermelon patch, but there was a small vegetable patch and strawberry, and blueberry and other fruits. It looked like though that that was for his own use since it was so small. The house that was in the middle of the land was a quaint cottage. It wasn't that large but it looked like you could survive and live in there.
The old man told him to put the cart by the edge of the watermelon patch. Ichigo did as he was told and followed the old man into the house.
"I'll start dinner. You could look around the farm to get to know it better." The old man said before walking towards a firepit.
After 30 minutes they ate dinner, and the old man filled Ichigo in on things that he would see.
"Ichigo was curious and asked "What is that big wall that seem to keep on going?" Ichigo asked while eating his rice.
"That is Seireitei. It is where the nobility and shinigami live, our army. That is the escape from the slums here. But you can only get in if you have high reiatsu or spiritual power. So if you ever get really hungry at any time tell me so I can apply you for their academy and you can become a shinigami. Enough chatting get some sleep. You have to be up by 6 to help me collect watermelons."
Ichigo bowed before exiting the room to his cot in a seperate room and fell into a deep sleep.
Please review.
