Disclaimer: I do not own –man or Bleach

Ichigo was just finishing off a hollow when he heard fast footsteps behind him. When he turned around he saw an old man running towards him- no not an old man, it was a teenager like himself. He had made the mistake because of the bleach white hair. He also had a blood red tattoo over his left eye that started at an upside-down pentacle on his forehead and went through his eye and ended in the middle of his cheek.

When Ichigo looked behind the weird boy he saw a thing chasing him. It kind of reminded Ichigo of a hollow, accept this thing didn't have a hole.

The boy saw Ichigo and stopped right in front of him and stared at him with a curious look on his face.

"What's with the huge chef's knife?" asked the boy.

"You can see me!? Who are you and what do you mean by chef's knife?" asked Ichigo, very confused.

"Yes, Allen Walker and that thing in your hands." answered the boy kind of confused why he wasn't supposed to see the weird teen.

"Oh you mean this?" he lifted Zangetsu. "It's my Zanpakuto."

"Zana- watta?" asked the boy.

"It's what I kill hollows with." answered Ichigo. Now they were both confused.

"What's a hollow?"

"It's basically a bad soul. And I'm a Soul Reaper that kills these hollows. This isn't my real body, this is my soul. My real body is somewhere around here." Said Ichigo not knowing why he was telling this boy this information. It's probably because he can see me so he can most likely see hollows, but he should already know this, thought Ichigo.

"Oh, by the way what's your name?"

"Ichigo Kurosaki."

Before the two could say anymore, there was a huge explosion.

When the debris had cleared, Ichigo saw nothing but white. Then the white moved and he saw Allen with a white cloak, a silver mask hanging on his shoulders, and his hand had turned into a sharp, black claw.

"Are you okay?" asked Allen with concern.

"Yeah, what is that?" asked Ichigo looking at the thing.

"An Akuma I'll explain things later," he said with a serious face.

He ran towards the thing and cut it in half. Then there was an explosion and Allen shielded himself and Ichigo with the cloak.

When he lifted the cloak, the thing was gone and so were Allen's weapons.

"Explanation, please," said Ichigo 100%, through and through confused.

"Like I said, that was an Akuma, made by the Millennium Earl when someone is grieving over someone's death, he brings the dead back to life as a metallic skeleton at the alive one's request. He orders the skeleton to kill the one grieving for them and wear their skin, thus making a killing machine. The other exorcist and I are given weapons called Innocence to kill the Akuma." Allen took a deep breath.

"Strawberry," Allen suddenly said giggling this under his breath which made Ichigo look at him like he had sprouted two heads.

"What?"

"I just remembered that you told me that your name is Ichigo, which, if I'm not mistaken, means 'strawberry' in Japanese," said Allen with a sparkle of amusement in his eyes and voice.

"You got a problem with that?" Ichigo threatened sending Allen a death glare, which made Allen think of Kanda, but he didn't want to fight with someone he just met, so he just shook his head. "And my name in Kanji actually means 'to protect'."

"Okay never mind." said Allen.

"So why are you here anyway?"

"I got lost while being chased by the Akuma." answered Allen.

"Why didn't you just kill it when it started chasing you?" Allen just stared at Ichigo like he was just realizing this fact. Ichigo just shook his head and face palmed.

"ICHIGO."

A girl with shoulder-length black hair and in the same get-up as Ichigo (accept her sword was normal sized and looked like a katana) came running towards them.

"Why are you here Rukia?" asked Ichigo.

"I got a hollow reading, but it seems like you took care of It." said Rukia. "Who are you?" she said looking at Allen.

"I'm Allen Walker. Who are you?" he said while politely bowing slightly.

"I'm Rukia Kuchiki." She said also bowing slightly.

"Moyashi."

They all turned around to see an 18 year old with blue, girly long hair in a ponytail and a katana by his side, glaring at Allen.

"My name is ALLEN Bakanda. A-L-L-E-N or can your brain not comprehend the complexity of my name!" Allen shouted at the man.

"Did you get lost again Old man?" the guy said with a smirk.

"Maybe," Allen mumbled.

"Who are you?" asked Ichigo.

"None of your business, why are you with the Moyashi?" questioned the man.

"Kanda this is Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki. Ichigo, Rukia this is Yu Kanda, but you should just call him Kanda unless you want to die." Allen said with a blinding white, creepy smile

"So where do you guys live?" asked Rukia politely.

"Well we live in Europe but we're staying in a hotel, but I can't remember where it was. Can you Kanda?" Allen replied.

"No." Kanda replied with a glare.

"Do you need somewhere to stay?" asked Ichigo like he knew it was coming. "'Cause you can stay at my place like everyone else."

"What do you mean?" asked Allen.

"It's just that every time I meet someone out of the ordinary they always end up staying at my house, but it's okay."

"Actually if you can just give us direction's that would be okay." Allen said with a bright smile.

"Oh, where is it then?"

"I don't know the exact location but I know it's across from some clinic."

"The Kurosaki Clinic?" Ichigo asked timidly.

"Yeah do you know the place?"

"It's my dad's clinic and it's my home."

"Cool, so can you bring us to the hotel?" Allen said happily.

"Yeah follow me."

"Wait, Ichigo where is your body?" Rukia asked. Kanda looked at Ichigo and her weirdly, while Allen knew exactly what she was talking about.

"Oh yeah I left it behind that bush over there." Ichigo said causing more weird looks from Kanda. He then went behind the bush and pulled out his flesh body. He put is soul inside his body. He grabbed a schoolbag that went with the gray school uniform with red trimming he was wearing.

Allen explained to Kanda what just happened.

"Are you a Soul Reaper too Rukia?" asked Allen remembering she was wearing the same outfit.

"Yeah and Ichigo is only a substitute Soul Reaper, which means he's only a Soul Reaper because the power I gave him awakened his own."

"Ok, now to the hotel!" Allen said cheerfully.

"Right this way."
