Chapter 4 - Shinigami

Today is May 11th. After my fireball jutsu levelled up, I continued my routine of school, arcade, train, sleep, repeat. I was able to level up my body flicker to intermediate as well, which increased my speed and reflexes by ten.

Finishing my breakfast, I picked up my bags and left for school.

In a school yard, saw a group of school students, who look like delinquent, surrounding Ichigo and Chad. Loving a fight, ofcourse I jumped into the circle.

"Sasuke?" ichigo said surprised.

"Yo, can you guys go a days with out fighting?" I joked.

"It's another monkey!" one of the delinquent laughed.

"Okay, now I'm gonna kill you," facing back towards the delinquents.

And so the fight broke out and we took care of them easy all three of us could take probably take'em out on our own.

"That was fun," I said stepping over the scattered unconscious bodies.

"Hmm," Chad frowned in agreement.

"Let's go to class."

*BLAH BLAH BLAH*

After school I was on my way home. No one had made any plans today. Ichigo didn't join as wanted to take a detour.

Looking in the sky I saw a pitch black butterfly flying by. A large smile appeared on.

"Rukia Kuchiki."

At home, I finished my homework and made me something to eat to pass the time. Exiting my house I decided to go for a stroll through the area.

Walking for a while I started doubting that it was tonight. "But I swear I saw that butterfly." Until I heard the noises of destruction, followed by a hollow's roar. Before I can go towards the noise, someone catches me off guard.

"Tonight seem like it's going to be quite eventful."

Turning around to face the person speaking and saw someone i wasn't planning on meeting today.

Urahara Kisuke

"Good evening, boy."

'Ah, not this guy,' I thought.

"Who are you?" is the only thing I could say.

"Oh how rude of me. My name is…"

Before he could introduce himself, a large pillar of light appeared from the direction of Ichigo's house.

'So she still passed her powers on to Ichigo.'

Urahara unloved since he already knew that was going to happen.

"I think we should leave our introductions for later." Urahara said, taking a few steps towards the clinic and stopped without looking back in my direction, he said, "Actually, they might need your, follow me." Without waiting for me he continued walking.

Stunned by what he said, wondering what he was thinking, " Forget it I'm not smart enough to know he's thinking." Regaining my composure I started following him.

When I arrived at the clinic, Ichigo was passed out in the middle of street. He was wearing the shinigami outfit and had a body-sized zanpakutō. Another thing I noticed was that Urahara was talking to Rukia, who was bleeding from her shoulder. I approached.

"Oh, you arrived, what was taking you so long?" Urahara asked playfully.

Ignoring his question I asked, "What happened to Ichigo?" Gotta keep the act up, you know?

"You…?" Rukia mumbled looking at me. Urahara probably mentioned me in their conversations moments ago.

"Don't worry I already healed everyone here. I need your help with something else." He said with a reassuring smile,"But first, how much do you know about the soul society and shinigami?"

"The what?" acting confused.

"The Soul Society as a realm where souls go after they die. It's a place of order, where Shinigami, or Soul Reapers, reside. Their duty is to guide the souls of the deceased, known as Pluses, to the Soul Society. However, if these souls are not guided correctly or have strong attachments to the living world, they can transform into Hollows, which are malevolent spirits that pose a threat to both the living and the dead. So it is the shinigami's jobs to also exercise Hollows." Urahara explained.

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.

"Because, this lady here is a shinigami and gave her powers to Ichigo so that he could save his family."

"Mmm-hmm." Nodding along with his explanation.

"But now she can't return to the Soul Society. What I can provide her with, is a Gigai, an artificial body that will allow her to interact with humans and also be able to recover her powers."

"That's very nice of you." I said, "But, why don't you need my help?"

"I was going to ask her for a place to stay and since you live alone and near Ichigo, I thought it…"

"Sure." I said trying to be as nonchalant as possible.

"Huh?" Rukia and Urahara both said stunned.

'Wait, how does he know I live alone!'

*BLAH BLAH BLAH*

I was in class listening to music while everyone was talking about 'the truck' that inti Ichigo's house.

The look on Urahara and Rukia's face were hilarious when I agreed to his request. When Urahara question me, I replied that if she's a shinigami then she's supposed to be the good guys, right? And she lost her powers anyways, so it's fine.

She didn't come to my house last night. Instead she went to Urahara's so that he could give her a gigai, but instead he shoves the hogyoku in her.

"Hey guys, today a new transfer student is joining our class!" Keigo shouted out in excitement. "Ooh, a new student." The conversation continued.

"Excuse me." With curiosity students turned their heads to the voice. A short girl, who had entered the room, approached Ichigo. I paused my music, when I noticed Rukia.

"You're Ichigo Kurosaki, nice to meet you!"

"Y…you…why…" Ichigo stumbled over his words. But when Rukia held out her hand he stayed silent.

"My name Rukia Kuchiki." She stated. Then she turned to face me.

"Nice to meet you too, Sasuke Uchiha, right?"

"Yes, nice to meet you Rukia." I said with a small grin portrayed on my lips. 'Out the the dark I think Rukia looks hotter then in the anime and now she's new roommate. Life couldn't get any better. Also…
