Chapter 1

The next morning was pretty quiet for the twins,  surprisingly.  They woke up and got ready for school before going downstairs to eat beakfast. "Hey." Greeted the broody twin.  "Good morning Ichi-nii, Yasu-nee!" Greeted back Yuzu. "Good morning." The two repliet at the same time. Yasu smiling at their little sister. "Where's dad?" Ichigo asked,  looking arround. Yasu was also confused as the man would have usually jumped at Ichigo by now. "Early meeting. Said he'd be late tonight too." Karin replied,  sipping from her cup. "Again, huh?" Asked Yasu. Taking a toast along with Ichigo. Their attention them turned to the TV where an explosion was beeing reported. Ichigo stared at the TV with his toast in mouth.
"Something bad happened?" Asked Yuzu,  curious about what had gotten her older simblings' attention.  "That's near here." Mumbled Ichigo,  frowning. Yasu also frowned. An explosion?  How strange.

After a quick breakfast the older pair of twins were walking  down the street, past the 'KEEP OUT' tape and the place of the explosion. A few yellow flowers were poking from Yasu's School bag. They walked arround the corner on the street. Arriving at the place where they kicked the thugs yesterday. Not seeing the little ghost Ichigo frowned and Yasu looked arround,  a small frown of her own itching it's way out. "Hello?" She called out, brushing a stray hair out of her face. Suddenly an inhuman roar sounded down the street and the twin's heads snapped in the direction of it. "The hell was that?" Ichigo asked,  looking at his sister. The albino's frown deepened and she pushed her glasses up. "No idea. Should we check it out?" He nodded and the two sprinted down the street towards the mysterious sound. Not knowing that today is a day everything changes.

"Did you hear that?" A brown haired lady asked the man infront of her. "What's that?  I didn't hear anything except you-" Hi sentence got interrupted by a sudden crash behind the corner. People yelled and ran. The source of the crash was seemingly invisible. Large claw marks suddenly formed on the wall of a building. People screamed and fled as quickly as they could.

The Twins could be seen running the opposite direction, straight towards the explosion of dust and inhuman roars. They both covered their head as another crash was heard and a roar. Out of the cloud of dust was now visible a large form. Something that could be straight out of a horror movie to the twins. 

"W-what the hell is that?" Ichigo asked,  looking absolutely belivered up at the monster. His sister took a small step back, eyes just as wide behind the rim of her black glasses. "N-no idea." They both were snapped out of their trance by a small, familiar voice calling out "H-help me!" The little ghost girl called out at them. Running towards them. "Run!  Hurry!" Ichigo called to her,  letting her ahead of himself and grabbing his sister's hand,  the trio running away from the strange,  bug-like monster.
"What is that thing?" The little girl asked. "I don't know!" Ichigo answered. Still running and clutching at his sister's hand. The little girl suddenly tripped and the twins paused,  helping her up. "Come on!  We've gotta move." Said Yasu,  helping the ghost up. Too late. The monster was hovering above them,  opening it's giant maw to swallow all of them. Yasu hugged the little girl and clung at her brother's hand. And suddenly a black butterfly came into view in front of Ichigo. A figure appeared in front of the monster,  slicing at it with a sword. The Figure was short and female. She had black hair and was clothed in strange old clothing,  with a large Katana in hand. She took a stance before jumping at the monster again,  slicing it clear in half. The monster then disappeared in a flash of blue light. "Whoah." Ichigo said in awe as the girl looked at them. Her violet eyes a few shades darker then Yasu's. Then the girl disappeared and Yasu stood up. Looking just as belivered as her brother.  "Hey hold on." Ichigo called out after the disappearing girl. People begun to trickle back into the street,  all looking at the aftermath of the monster's wrath. "The side walk is burned... " "There must have been another explosion!" People begun calling out. Did they not see the monster?  Yasu lookd at her brother who also looked at her. Ichigo looked quite frankly terrified just as his sister.

Sirens sounded in the distance that evening,  people having no idea what had trully accured that day.

"I'm going out!"

Called out Yasu as she opened the door. She was in casual clothes. A white T-shirt and a light purple hoodie -a gift from Yuzu- along with simple black leggings. Tying her white converse she exited the door with her brother's call of. "Be careful!" "Yeah,  yeah. Motherhen." She mumbled the last part. Yuzu and Karin giggled as they heard it. She had been feeling like crap again. Coughing like crazy the whole day. She sighted as the breeze ruffled her white hair,  glossy violet eyes hiding behind the rim of black glasses were staring up at the sky. She knows she won't survive for very long. Doctors had called it a miracle that she had survived until now as they had scheduled her death when she was 12. Yet here she is. But won't be for long. Her brother has always been protecting her. Caring for her. Not letting her out of his sight. As much as she is thankful for it,  hisnconstant hovering is annpying. She needs to clear her head.

Ichigo,  meanwhile,  was in their shared room,  thinking about what had happened that day. He is laying in his bed on his back. Arms under his head,  still in his school uniform.  'Who was she?' thought Ichigo. 'I can't make any sense of what happened out there.' Suddenly the same black butterfly from before flew into the room through the opened window. "Huh?" Ichigo stared,  wide eyed.  He quickly sat up when a figure,  silently as a mouse floated into their room through the wall and stood on Ichigo's table. "What the hell are you doing here?" Asked Ichigo, freaking out slightly.  The raven haired chick gave no reaction. Simply staring ahead before she reached for her sword. Now he  freaked out, having seen what she could do with that thing. "Put that thing away!  You're not slicing me up!" He yelled at her. The girl simply jumped onto the floor,  looking arround. "Hey!" The male twin called at her.   "It's getting closer." The raven head said quietly. "I feel it." Her quiet intrusion was interupted by non other then Ichigo, who proceeded to kick her. "Who are you and what do you want?!" A crash was heard as the strange girl landed on the floor. Looking utterly confused. He turned on the light,  looking down at the girl.  "If you think you're a burgular(?) you aren't a very good one!" Ichigo yelled,  pointing a finger at her. "For starters you shouldn't talk to yourself! "

"You... Kicked me.. But I can't be seen by ordinary humans. Are you saying you can see me?" The girl asked,  clearly confused.  "Well considered that that was my foot i just planted in your behind,  you tell me. " The girl stood up,  looking at Ichigo. "You are the one I saw in town earlier along with another human!  I remember." She said,  looking up at Ichigo. "Boy, nothing get's by you." He deadpanned and the girl went to him. Observing.  "How very strange! You look normal but you must be defective in some way."  Ichigo scoffed as she totaled his head arround. "I'll show you defective!" He said,  kicking at her. The girl dodged and jumped into his head,  kicking off lightly making Ichigo fall over as she landed. He turned to her,  still on the floor. "Who are you?" He asked,  clearly irritated. "You want to know?" The girl turned to him. Serious. "Then i'll tell you. I'm a soul reaper."

Somewhere else in the city Yasu looked up as she heard another monsetour howl,  turning her head down the street she noticed  the little ghost girl was running away from an invisible shape. The ghost rounded the corner. "Oh no,  not again." She said,  peeking from behind the street light.  The electricity cables were tore apart. Breafly revealing the monsterous shape of her attacker. She continued running down the street,  the monster following. Leaving giant footprints in it's wake.

"Alright. So you're a something called a soul reaper... " Ichigo begun,  sitting on the floor,  arms crossed over his chest. The girl nodded. "Mhm"  "And you were sent here on a mission by something called the Soul Society... " The girl nodded once again. "To deal with demons like the one we saw on the street today." The Girl nodded again at the ginger's slightly less calm sentence. "Which was chasing after that girl's soul."  Nodding,  the girl hummed. "Mhm." "That's all believeble to me... " Ichigo once agajn begun,  getting an irk mark. "Along with Flying pigs and the tooth fairy!" and he quite  litteraly flipled a table. The 'Soul reaper' looked slighly scandalized.  "Why wouldn't you believe in soul reapers when you just admitted you can see spirits?!" Ichigo stood up, hands in his pockets. "I've never seen or heared of 'Soul reapers' before and frankly,  your story is just too increrible. I don't believe in anything i can't see."
Sure,  what happened that day was weird. But never once in his life had he seem another 'shinigami' running about.
The 'Shinigami' stood up,  standing defensivly in front of Ichigo. "Well you see me. Don't you?"
"Well that's true and i agree with the fact that you're not human. Why don't you go play your soul reaper game somewhere else? Okay little brat?  Now run along." He said,  still bot believing. Putting a hand on her head. The 'Soul Reaper' smirked dangerously,  getting irritaged by Yasu's twin.  "I'm brat now,  am i?" She said dangerously. Putting up her arm. "Bakudo number 1.... Sai!" Ichigo's arms snapped to his back,  he grunted in effort to try and move,  only to fall over into the floor.  "I can't move!" He grunted out. "What did you do to me?!"  He yell-asked.  "Paralysis. I've used what's called a 'Kido' on you. It's a high level incantation only Soul Reapers can cast. It's useless to struggle against it. You're just wasting your energy." She  replied,  smirking. "I may appear young to you. But i lived nearly ten times of you life times. I would have killed you on the spot for your insults if it were not against my orders,  so you little brat,  be grateful!" Ichigo scowled up at her,  still struggling .  "You've got nerve!" The ginger said, glaring. "And now..."
