Enjoy! I don't own any anime used.

Chapter 1: The Rose and the Moon
Night was heavy over Karakura Town. A single young woman stood on a telephone pole. She wore a black kimono, and had long, pink-reddish hair and brownish-amber eyes. A sword hung sheathed at her side

"It's close..." the woman murmured before leaping off the pole.

BOOMF! A gang member was sent sprawling to the ground. A tall young man with black hair that looked a little like a crab and gold highlights, with colbalt blue eyes, and wore a school uniform of some kind stood near a small gang of teens his age. "Whoa! H-He just knocked out Lil' Johnny!" one of them gasped.

"Now, first question. What is that?" the teen demanded, pointing at a vase tipped over. It was broken. It held a flower in its shattered remains. "Uh...s-some offering for the kid who got hit by a truck?" one of the gang members responded. "Correct!" The teen knocked the responding member down by kicking him straight on the chest.

"Second question. Why is it broken?" the teen asked. "We, uh...knocked it over with our skateboards..." another member responed. "Check out the brains on Smelly!" The teen growled as he kicked that teen's face in. "Well, then...I SUPPOSE YOU'D BETTER APOLOGIZE TO HER!!" the teen shouted as a young girl's spirit appeared, wearing a spooky mask. The gang members screamed and ran away.

The teen looked at the spirit with sadness in his gaze as she took off the mask. "Sorry. Didn't mean to use you like that," he apologized. "It's okay. I can rest in peace now. Thank you," the young girl spirit thanked. The teen headed back to his home, murmuring to the spirit, "Glad I could help."

''I'm Yusei Kurosaki. For as long as I could remember, I've always been able to see spirits of the departed. Maybe it's because my family is tasked with saving lives, but I've always seen spirits.''

"I'm home..." Yusei called as he entered his home, the Kurosaki Hospital. BAM! Yusei was knocked to the ground, courtesy of his father. He had a golden afro, stern, but goofy blue eyes, and wore a white coat over a blue shirt and black pants. "YOU'RE LATE AGAIN!" he yelled. "Gee, dad, can't you show any respect for your only son helping a ghost find peace again?!" Yusei shouted.

"I set rules in this house, and you have to follow them! I said you have to be home by 8 PM every night--" Yusei's dad was cut off as Yusei kicked his dad in the stomach. "Dang it, dad! I helped a lost ghost find peace, and this is what I get?!" the rather handsome teen commented. As the two fought, Yusei's two sisters, Luna (who had green hair tied back, and yellow eyes, and wore a white jacket over a red shirt with a gold pattern on it.) and Rebecca (gold hair in pigtails, blue eyes, wore a red shirt and blue skirt) ate dinner.

"Come on, guys, stop fighting!" Luna pled. "Forget it. Once they start, nothing can stop them," Rebecca reminded. "But Rebecca..." Luna began. "Give me some more rice." Rebecca took some of her dad's rice. WHAM! Yusei's dad was knocked to the floor. "ARGH! You're so annoying!" Yusei complained. Rebecca sighed. "You've got another one," she informed her brother. Yusei looked behind him and grunted in annoyance. Another one that looked like a business man was floating over him. "ARGH! I'm going upstairs!" Yusei shouted, heading upstairs.

Even though I saw spirits...the existence of Soul Reapers never crossed my mind.

Yusei flopped onto his bed, lights off, and stared at the ceiling. Worry crossed his mind. "Lately, it seems like more spirits than ever are around Yusei," Rebecca observed. "You and Yusei are so lucky. All they are are faint images to me," Luna admitted. "To be honest, I just don't believe in spirits," Rebecca informed. Luna sighed.

Yusei then saw something come into his room. A young woman with pinkish-red hair, brownish-amber eyes, wearing a black kimono and had a sword sheathed at her side. She leapt gracefully into the room. "It's close..." the mysterious woman murmured. At once, Yusei kicked the woman over. She collapsed onto the floor, surprise blooming in her eyes. "How's that for close, jerk-off?!" Yusei growled.

"You...you can see me," the woman realized. "Well, duh, I can see you," Yusei retorted. The woman looked at Yusei closely. "Hmm...there don't seem to be any signs of defects with you," she commented. Yusei took a step away from the woman. "There are no defects with me! Or have you heard I can see spirits?" he asked.

"You can see spirits?" the woman echoed. "Duh," Yusei responded. The woman sighed. "Then let me explain. You see...I am a Soul Reaper," she informed.

Meanwhile, a huge humanoid monster with a white mask and a hole through its chest was chasing the same small girl spirit. She wailed in fear as she ran. Suddenly, the monster stopped and sniffed. Its glaring yellow eyes narrowed. "Much power...nearby..." he growled.

"So, let me get this straight. You're a Soul Reaper from this place called the Soul Society, and there are a bunch of Soul Reapers as well, who fight these evil things called Hollows?" Yusei questioned. The Soul Reaper nodded. "Well, that makes perfect sense. ALONG WITH FLYING PIGS AND THE TOOTH FAIRY!" Yusei shouted as he flipped a table only supposed to be used for comedic purposes.

"Wait. You don't believe in Soul Reapers even though you see spirits?" the Soul Reaper asked. "I don't believe anything unless I see it with my own eyes," Yusei answered. The Soul Reaper sighed as Yusei went on. "So why don't you just leave and I'll pretend this never happened?" the teen asked.

"Bakudo #1: Sai!" the Soul Reaper called. As if invisible restrainers appeared suddenly, Yusei's arms were suddenly were forced behind his back, and he collapsed onto the floor. "What the heck?!" Yusei shouted. "That was kido," the Soul Reaper informed. She now had a cocky look in her eyes. "It is how us Soul Reapers cast spells, and be thankful I let you off easy." Yusei snorted. The Soul Reaper then began to explain what Hollows were.

To make a long story short, good spirits were called Wholes, and had a chain coming out of their chests. Hollows were basically bad spirits, shaped like monsters with white masks and holes in their chests. Soul Reapers were guardians of the afterlife, and therefore enemies of Hollows.

"Make sense?" The Soul Reaper asked. (Well, it would it make more sense if the drawings were better...) "Why do your drawings stink so badly?" Yusei asked. In retaliation, the Soul Reaper drew a cartoony mustache on Yusei's face.

"HEY!" Yusei protested. "Now, let us continue," the Soul Reaper decided. At once, a dark roar filled Yusei's ears. His eyes widened. "Hey, Soul Reaper chick, what was that roar just now?!" Yusei questioned. The Soul Reaper looked at Yusei in shock as, not a moment later, the same roar echoed, though muffled, through her ears.

"What in the world?!" The Soul Reaper thought. A dull thud brought to their attention someone was outside the bedroom. Yusei managed to look past the half-closed door and see Rebecca. "Rebecca!" he gasped. Rebecca was bleeding slightly from the head. "Y-Yusei...dad's back exploded and he fell...I had to tell you," Rebecca stammered out before passing out.
