Monsters with souls

6- soul reapers and hollows

Warnings: This is a fan fiction crossover featuring Naruto and Bleach. In no way shape or form do I own the series and/or its characters. This story however is an original idea that I have had for a while now and decided that it is time that I got around to writing it. Some of the characters may seem a bit OCC so please don't hate me for it!

Chapter 6 - soul reapers and hollows

After visiting and getting to know Kyuubi, the two monsters decided that it was best that they kept this a secret from their human hosts until the right moment. Kyuubi had transformed back to his natural form as he watched Shiro leave. The hollow told the demon that since the two mindscapes were connected that Kyuubi could come and visit Shiro in Ichigo's mindscape. When he was there, Kyuubi could learn to use the power of his zanpakuto and what new abilities he and Naruto would have.

"Perhaps then I can fully introduce you to the true form of Zangetsu." stated Shiro as he pulled open the door that connected the two mindscape.

'I have a feeling that things are about to become interesting.' The fox made mental plans to work on training Naruto about his chakra control and how to use the fox's charkra as well as ninjutsu and genjutsu. Kyuubi felt that Naruto was going to need it.

Both Ichigo and Naruto arrived home as both teens let out a soft sigh before Ichigo threw open the door.

"We're home!" they called out. They could see Isshin coming running down the stairs.

"Welcome home….. Ichigo and Naruto!" he yelled out leaping at the two teens. Both Ichigo and Naruto simply side stepped out of the way as Isshin went crashing into the large brick house behind them. Every day and night they had to put up with Isshin's crazy attacks. Both teens shook their heads as Isshin crashed face first into the house.

"Do you think we should help him?" asked Naruto. Ichigo ran his hand through his hair reaching for the doorknob with his free hand.

"Nah….. Lets just leave him." he replied closing and locking the door behind him. Isshin had peeled himself off the wall watching the door close.

"You guys are so mean!" he shouted out.

At dinner, Isshin scolded Ichigo and Naruto about the fight they had at the school. The school had called Isshin about it.

"What in the world am I going to do with you two if you keep on picking fights at school?" asked Isshin.

"We don't start the fights dad. But we do end them." both teens replied in unison. Isshin ruffled their bright colored hair smiling.

"That's my boys." he stated. Isshin knew that both Ichigo and Naruto knew how to defend their selves and that they wouldn't take anybody's garbage if they were picked on because of their hair color or called them freaks. He smiled cause he knew that both Ichigo and Naruto had developed a very strong bond since the day that Ichigo had found Naruto. Isshin had a feeling that Naruto was hiding what truly happened that day as it was apparent from his clothes and shoes that he didn't belong in this world. But after hearing Naruto's story and seeing his kids reaction to what the blond had told them, he knew that he had to help Naruto out. Not once has Isshin regretted his decision. He loved and cared for Naruto as if he was a true member of the Kurosaki family.

Later that night as everybody was sleeping, Rukia Kuchiki stood on top of a telephone pole as she had been hunting a hollow that has been sighted within Karakura town. This was her very first mission within the human world since becoming a soul reapers (shinigami). Rukia left off when she could sense a spirit within the Kurosaki home.
