Sakurai's Bleach Fanfiction
My best friend Sakurai has written a Bleach fanfiction but she doesn't know how to post it so she asked me to post it for her so here it is. It takes place in the year 3108, when Hollows are raviging the world and the Soul Reapers have all died beforehand. The main character is Sakurai herself. She's thrown in a colorful cast of characters that are the SRC (Soul Reaper Companions) human host. They can borrow the powers of the Soul Reaper that they reincarnate.

Here's a bit of the first chapter she wrote.

Bleach: Our Future

By: Sakurai Tenjiko


1


My name is Sakurai Tenjiko and I am just your average middle school student. I'm in the 9th class, group 3, along with my friends Rena, Kalane and Zero. I have shoulder-length white hair and aquatic green eyes. I'm different from the rest of my friends. There's this thing called a 'Soul Reaper Companion' that Rena, Kalane and Zero keep talking about but I'm usually left out of the conversations. I don't even consider them my friends anymore because they don't talk to me anymore. All I have for company is my own sketchbook. I'm in the manga club at our school and I do manga and clip art for our club's magazine that we put out every month. There's something that's been bothering me for the past few weeks. Sometimes, when I look in the mirror, I catch a glimpse of a boy with messy white hair and aquatic green eyes in a kimono brooding about in my room but he vanishes quickly.
It was a completely ordinary day when it happened. I mean… why today… and not another day? It doesn't make sense. Well, I'll explain it better.
I woke up at 7:00 am and dressed quickly. While I was straightening my tie, I saw the boy again. He was staring straight at me, a saddened expression on his face, like he was sad that I was going to school. I stared back at him. He suddenly smiled and then vanished. I thought it was nothing.
"Any sign of Toshiro Hitsugaya's reincarnation, Zero?" Rena asked while waiting outside for me to come out of my house.
"Remember this, Rena. His reincarnation will appear in a few years or so in a newborn child so there's no reason we should keep waiting for Sakurai. The way we all started out was that we caught glimpses of our Soul Reaper Companions in our mirrors. Let's go, you two." Zero said, standing up.
"I was talking to the ghost of a boy, Mom! Nothing unusual! He was happy to talk to me! It's not as if this seeing ghosts thing is abnormal anymore! He was staring at me through my mirror!" I shouted while running outside.
"Sakurai, get back in here and show me this boy!" My mom shouted.
"Can't! He's gone for a while! Later!" I ran up to Kalane, who pushed me away from her immediately.
"Don't come near me, Sakurai. None of us are your friends anymore. You're a nobody to us. You don't have a SRC." She said. "And this-" Kalane kicked me in the stomach, "-is for all of those years we had to put up with your f-ing presence! Get lost, loser! You're not welcome in Karakura anymore!"
My eyes filled with tears and I took off. A Hollow appeared and chased after me.
I ran as fast as I could to the border of Karakura and Tokyo. Since no one would miss me when I left, I thought I would move to Tokyo and live there, alone, for the rest of my life.
The Hollow screeched and continued tromping after me. I continued to flee from Karakura until the Hollow jumped in front of me and opened its mouth. I backed into a wall and slid down it, my eyes wide with fear and tears streaking down my cheeks.
But what happened next was truly unbelievable.

I covered my face with my hands and let out a scream for help. No one came. I peered through my fingers and the Hollow leaned over to me and opened its mouth even wider. I was shaking with fear. That's when I heard his voice.
-You idiot, Sakurai! Running away from Karakura just because you can't stand to have any friends! I've been watching you for so long that I knew that this day would come when we would unite as one. My name is Toshiro Hitsugaya, the boy you saw in the mirror. I am a Soul Reaper.-
"Soul… Reaper…" I whispered, lowering my hands away from my face.
-All right, Sakurai. Let's fight this thing together. I'll give you my powers and you slay the Hollow. Afterwards, we can show those ex-best friends of yours who's who. Just don't start abusing my powers or I might just vanish forever.-
"Like I would! Just hurry up and help me, White Hair!"
-That's EXACTLY what I was talking about! And my name is 'Toshiro!' Just give me your hand!-
I obliged, reaching out until a transparent figure in a kimono appeared before me, reaching out to me, too. Our hands met and there was a blinding flash of light. A zanpakuto cut through the Hollow like a hot knife to butter. When the Hollow vanished, I landed on the ground. The zanpakuto I had used was a long sword with a purplish hilt. I was wearing a pure black kimono with black skirt-like pants, a white sash, white socks, tan sandals and a white robe-like vest. There was a symbol on the back of the vest for the number 10. I stood up and sheathed the sword.
-Congratulations, Sakurai. You defeated your first Hollow. There's a million more to go.- Toshiro laughed.
"Does that mean I have to go to school like this?" I asked, a pouting look on my face.
He looked at me and shook his head.
-Not unless you want to. Well, there's more to come. By the way…-
I looked over at him.
-Memories are memories. I've been in all of them but you just don't remember seeing me. I was gonna come last year but you were too scared and I thought that you would die of shock when you saw me. I know I look different from the pictures but Hinamori did this to my hair. She said I looked cuter like this.- Toshiro messed his hair up even worse than he had it before by trying to run his fingers through his hair.
"Bad hair day, huh?"
-I ran out of hair gel! Don't laugh!-
"No one said I was laughing!"
-Stupid hair gel people. When will they learn that the blue hair gel is MINE?!-
Gosh, he's so into the color blue, I thought.

I walked to school and went into my classroom. I took my seat near the teacher's desk so I wouldn't be near the three ignoraymuses.
-Ignoraymuses? Nice word for the three you used to consider your friends.- Toshiro said, sitting on my desk.
"Off, off, off. I'm trying to draw, here." I said, pushing Toshiro gently off of the desk and pulling out my sketchbook. I had drawn a picture of a fox girl and wrote at the top:
Emma Ryusei, Fox Beasttalker
Toshiro examined all my drawings before coming across a manga drawn by Rena, who has a bit of a gay fedish and drew Toshiro and Ichigo together. Pretty amusing at first. He dropped the sketchbook, his face red with embarrassment. I picked it up, flipped to a blank page and began to draw. All the while, Toshiro started to mutter about hair gel and needing to pick some up from a convenience store on the way home.
"Oh, quit your bellyaching. I'll pick some up on the way home. Geez, can't you wait until school's over to start your bellyaching?" I said, loud enough for everyone to hear.
-You quit tellin' me what to do, Tenjiko! I'll kick your ass for that!-
"You'll just be hurtin' yourself!"
-You little ignoraymus!-
"You're the ignoraymus, Toshiro."
-Are not!-
"Are so!"
We argued for five minutes until Kalane and Zero showed up.
"What are you doing here, Tenjiko? Shouldn't you be five hundred miles away from Karakura?"
-Shut it, ignoraymus!- Toshiro growled at Kalane.
"Who are you supposed to be?" Kalane asked, staring at Toshiro.
-Toshiro Hitsugaya, Squad 10 Captain. Sakurai's SCR, you ignoraymus.-
