A Falling Star (Fairy Tail X Bleach Crossover)

Chapter Five

A few hours has passed and Lucy was finally allowed to leave. She bowed to the family that hospitalized her from the head wound. "I thank you again for taking care of me, one day I'll come back and make it up. I promise!" Lucy said with a smile.

Yuzu smiled at Lucy."It's not a problem! I have a feeling we'll see each other again! And your more than welcome to drop by any time of you need anything."

Lucy smiled and nodded, "Right, I will." She said as she went to the door and left. Standing outside the small clinic was an orange haired boy, who leaned against the wall. Lucy recognizes him as Ichigo, but why was he wearing a black kimono and why does he have a giant sword on his back.

"Uhh hey Ichigo what's with the sword?" Lucy asked.

"So you can see me?" Ichigo said his eyes widening a bit. Lucy tilted her head to the side."Uhh yeah why wouldn't I?" She asked confused.

Ichigo frowned a bit, as he used his weight to push himself from the wall as he went over to Lucy." I saw you pull someone out of thin air. How did you do that?" Ichigo demanded.

Lucy froze and looked at him."You saw Loke?" Lucy asked. She sighed putting her hand to her head."Dang it, I was hoping for no one to find out but I guess I can't lie." She looked at Ichigo whose arms were crossed.

"It's a long story though... and one I'm still trying to comprehend." Lucy explained.

"I got time." Ichigo said waiting to hear this story.

Lucy gave a deep breath. "Okay I think I'm from a different world because this place is something I've never seen before. Not only that but the mana here isn't really plentiful..."

Ichigo held up his hand with a few 'woah woah hold up' s to stop her. "One another world and two what the hell is 'maaana?'" He asked.

"One like I said earlier, for two it's MANA not 'maaana'" Lucy said with her usual 'Natsu your such an idiot tone' "And Mana is basically magic energy that a mage can use. As I was saying earlier, I'm a Mage, a Celestial Spirit one at that, These keys open gates to the Celestial Spirits some of them are zodiacs ,who are rare, while others are common or uncommon spirits. Each one has a specific role, and to gain these spirits you need their keys and to form a contract with them." She explained.

The orange haired male hold up his hand overwhelmed by all this." Okay so your a wizard that can summon spirits, from a different world?" He asked.

"Yeah basically." Lucy said nodding.

"Damn." Ichigo said as he put his head in his hands. Lucy looked at him seeing somewhat fear and confusion on his face.

"Hey I know it's a lot to take in but shouldn't I be the one panicking here and not you?" Lucy asked.

Ichigo looked up."How did you get here?" He asked somewhat fearing the words. If she was brought by HIM, then that means he may be even more stronger.

"Uhh well there was this book on my doorstep. I picked it up and a note fell out telling me to read it. All I did was open the cover and I found myself here." Lucy said.

"Do you have the book?" Ichigo asked. Lucy blinked."Now that you mention it I never thought about it but it wasn't on my hands when I came here."

"Could it be in your bag?" Ichigo asked. Lucy scoffed as she grabbed the small bag Virgo gave her. "Of course not, the only thing in here is my old clo-"Lucy's voice trailed off as her eyes widened in fear as she stared at what her hand came across with.

"What the?How is it in my bag?" Lucy asked staring wide eyed at the tattered leather bound pages.

Ichigo quickly grabbed it as he read the cover, "Journey of The Stars." He read aloud.

He looked up to see Lucy staring wide eyed at it. "That book, I never noticed before but it has high magic energy." She said pointing out at the old story.

Ichigo opened the page to find it covered in words in a language he never saw before. He turned the pages each one with the strange letters. It wasn't even English. He looked at Lucy and practically shoved it under her nose."Does any of these makes sense?" He said in a demanding tone.

Lucy focused on the words. " Yeah, this is my language...." she said as she took the book from his hands and examined the pages.

For minutes she was silent just going over reading while Ichigo watched, getting inpatient by each second. After the first two minutes Ichigo snapped, "Well what does it say?" He asked.

"It's a story." Lucy said not taking her eyes off the pages, each one darting to the next as her fingers touched the old pages and carefully turned them over to read more.

"About what?" Ichigo asked. Lucy's gaze still remained upon the book.

" It's about a maiden, one who loved the night and the stars." Lucy said.

"That's it?!" Ichigo asked.

" I'm not sure! I haven't read all this I've only read about three pages!" Lucy snapped looking up at him. "If you shut up and let me read then I can finish this book and tell you what's it about!" Lucy said crossing her arms.

Ichigo groaned as he leaned back. "All right fine." He said crossing his arms and staring up at the starry sky.

Lucy continued to read by the light of the street lamp, her body went to sit down on the sidewalk so that her legs won't get tired.

Hardly any sounds came off during this night, only that of the distant cars and the occasion barks of dogs.

Only then did Lucy finished the story did she looked up at the bored orange haired teenager. The book closing.

"Well?" He asked after he heard the sound of cover meeting paper.

"...." Lucy remained silent as she stared at the ground in front of her." It was about a maiden who loved this man.... but this man was a criminal. He killed people and the woman hated he did bad but still loved him. She begged for him to change but he didn't listen. So she pleaded with the stars who heard her, they went to the man to tell him to change his ways for the woman he cares wishes for it. The man refused and committed even more crime. So the stars sought to punish hi. however what the stars did to the man no one knows. All it says is that the man vanished, without a trace." Lucy said. "And for the woman...." Lucy said nothing as she held up the back of the book and opened it revealing papers that have been torn from the book." No one wanted us to know the end."
