Monsters with souls

11- first mission

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!

Key Guide: “regular speech”, ‘thinking to ones self’, *mental speech*, (author notes), bold - Kyuubi & Shirosaki speaking, italic - attacks/jutsu, -spirits/hollows speaking-

Chapter 11 - first mission

After a full day of training both Ichigo and Naruto went to the Namikaze estate feeling drained.  They still hadn’t put away the stuff that they had bought at Urahara’s shop.

“God I feel like I can sleep for a week.  I wonder what our first mission is going to be.” stated Naruto.

“Well considering that we didn’t do any of those D rank missions because of our special circumstances.  We could be doing a C rank mission.” replied Ichigo as he dug into Urahara’s bag laying stuff onto the counter.  When Ichigo came across a cell phone with a note taped on it, a questioned look stretched across his face.  Ichigo took the note off opening it.

‘To Ichigo Kurosaki and Naruto Uzamaki, Please don’t be alarmed by this letter as I am a former soul reaper captain who has been assigned to accompany this dimension to help you both with your zanpakuto training and to keep the hollows from attacking people within this dimension.  Lately hollows have been attacking normal humans with very little or no spiritual pressure.  Ruki Kuchiki had told me about what happened to you both.  Your family is under the assumption that you are both on a trip visiting Naruto’s true family.  They have no clue about the truth.  If you have any questions for me please don’t hesitate to stop in and ask me.  Kisuke Urahara.  PS. Don’t forget to call your family to let them know that you are both all right.  And give them updates every so often.’

“Ichigo is there something wrong?” asked Naruto.

“Not at all.  You should read this.  It seems that we aren’t the only soul reapers within this dimension.” replied Ichigo as he went into another room flipping open the phone to call his family.

Ichigo had spent an hour talking to his family as after Naruto had read the letter by Urahara he talked to his adoptive family for a little bit.  After they got done they decided to go to Urahara’s shop to get some answers.  Both Ichigo and Naruto stayed within their outfits carrying their zanpakutos as they crossed paths with a girl about the same age as them who had brown hair as she wore them into two buns.  She was eyeing both Naruto’s and Ichigo zanpakutos.

“Those are very interesting weapons that you are both carrying.  I have never seen weapons like that before.  Would it be all right if I take a closer look at them?” she asked.  Both Naruto and Ichigo raised their brows in question.

*Go ahead.  She wouldn’t be able to use them anyway.* stated the combined voices of their inner spirits.  Naruto took Kitsune off of his side while Ichigo pulled Zangetsu off of his back.  The ribbon came alive unwrapping from the sword.  Ten-ten first took a closer look at Kitsune running her hand over the dark red fur near the hilt of the kunai swinging it a few times before handing it back to Naruto.  Zangetsu was much larger than her as she could barely hold onto it with one hand like Ichigo could.

“You have to tell me where you guys happened across such fine weapons.  I would love to own one.” stated Ten-ten.

“Sorry but we can’t tell you.” stated Ichigo as he took back his sword.

“Bummer.  Well if you need any repairs and/or if your weapons need sharpening come to my families shop.  My name is Ten-ten.  The name of the shop is Fallen Weapons (made up name).” replied Ten-ten before she took off.  Ichigo and Naruto continued on their way to Urahara’s shop.
