"Talking"

Reid POV

"Baka where are you?" hearing a voice in the rain, I hid in a rundown, old abandon shop where I can get out of the rain and try to stay warm. I looked around noticing stuff in shelves and on counters I sat there crying knowing I was alone and no one could hear, I had enough of being bullied by the other kids cause of the way I look. I started to hear rattling noises from behind me, as I turned around slowly afraid; I saw the door open slightly showing a black figure with green eyes and a smile "why are you crying?" it asked, like any other little kid would do, I ran out eyes wide and ran out of the shop screaming bloody murder "DEMON!" until I hit something very hard and woke up.

I noticed that I was on the floor while my alarm was going off non-stop. "uh...what time is it?" I muttered getting up and rubbing my head while going over and checking my clock "hm...seven...forty-five..hmm...HOLY SHIT IM LATE!" I screamed as I hurried getting dressed, brushing my teeth, looking back at the empty room that I wasn't coming back to. While going down the stairs I slipped on a step and fell rolling passing by the kitchen, "yo...i made breakfast for you sleepy head" a voice said.I ran back into the kitchen "you didn't wake me up you bastard! Now I'm late" I huffed looking at my already dressed, red hair that matches his eyes all brushed to perfection smiling roommate "actually you're an hour early...i changed your alarm...while you were sleeping of course" he smirking at me taking a sip of his morning coffee "huh?!" face-palming myself should have known he would do that "seriously dude, you got me worried there" I sighed in relief sitting at the other side of the table eating my breakfast.

"well knowing you have a record of sleeping like an animal, why yes I had to for the love of entertainment" he leaned on the counter finishing his drink and looking at me for a while, I looked up as soon as he gave me a disgusted look I thought back what I did this morning and fluffed my hair a bit making my hair look even worse then my bed head and looking at him again; before I could say anything I was literally kicked in the face, hitting the hallway wall with a slam, yeah that was it, my messy hair + hair fetish roommate= a pissed off roommate. "you got some balls there Reid, trying to make my morning a living hell as usual" he stated slamming his foot on the wall, I flinched already in pain from the fall from the stairs "Gomennasai" I apologized not wanting to provoke him to kick me more.

I heard a sigh and felt I was carried to the living room "I swear you need to gain some weight, you are too light for your own good and on top of that looking and acting like a girl half the time, its to sad to watch sometimes" he muttered as he dumped me on the sofa going off to get a comb and brush, "oh shut up, besides no matter what I eat or do I can't get muscular even if I fight people it still doesn't help" saying as I sat up and pouting; he walked back in and racked me on the head "if you stop being such a girl then you might get muscular and might even get taller" he said teasingly while doing my hair, "hey I'm taller than the girls at our job so it's not that bad" I stated staying still really feeling like a girl getting her hair done. "so your going back home today…..to your brother right?" he muttered feeling a bit disappointed his only entertainment is not going to be here, "uh ..ya its been years since I been there and chatted with him" I replied it was hard getting past what happened that day that changed everything. Walking home with my step-mom and brother and being attacked by a hollow that killed our mom and realizing my powers when I couldn't do anything to save her.

Finishing my hair he walked to the kitchen and got a smoke, I watched as every time he did so it looked so mature I admired that part of him "watching me with those eyes, wants me to do something bad to ya" he winked and smiled as I got shivers and looked away I take back every admiring comment I said about him over the years "jeesh your so weird you changed a lot" I said not looking at him, he laughed "not as much as you Black Lotus, you use to be so scary and unapproachable now that your hair changed your cute side has surfaced I think its adorable too bad I wont be there to pick on you" he said pretending to be sad "you wouldn't pick on my you would freaking molest me every chance you got you pervert!" I growled blushing at the terrible memories. He burst out laughing "and here I thought you wouldn't remember but you do that makes me happy that you remember those wonderful times" he smiled looking up with his eyes closed probably think about those times and this is one of the reasons I am glad I'm leaving!

After talking some more it was time to go. "Alight maggot get out here before I jump ya" he said turning around so I couldn't see his face, I know he was going to miss me when I leave, since I was basically his only entertainment here. As I put my shoes on, I heard a voice "don't get into too much trouble, I sure as hell don't want to see your ass on the news like last time" I smirked and nodded leaving the house I opened the front gate and looked back seeing my friend looking out the window at me, I waved but he just flicked me off looking jealous to see my happy face, I turned around from his good-bye -sweat drop- I closed the gate and ran to the train station, I almost tripped myself just two blocks away when I was getting closer to the train station. I saw ghosts well I guess you can say souls waving their good-bye to me, I gotten pretty close with the afterlife and mastered my weird powers I haven't mentioned it to anyone except my housemate and my brother but there were still things I didn't understand.

Red Head POV

Seeing my friend off was a bit heartbreaking since his gonna see another man that's not me. I walk around the house and saw the pictures of us together showing him pissed and me happy then ones of him smirking and I'm pissed I still don't know how I fell for a kid like him remembering how we met again.

~Flashback~

Running in the pitch black darkness being chased by the mafia. "hahaha…you guys better give up already I'm not going back" there were a lot after me but I just kept running turning corners fast getting more distance. "Get back here punk, you know the boss will have your head if you don't come back!" one shouted running faster then the others, its really troublesome when you don't know where your going. I ended up running in a park damn, I'm screwed turning around was just the right amount of time for the block heads to catch up. I faced them ready to fight until a short kid stood in front of me wearing a hood with ears eating fish shaped teriyaki. "you guys got some guts coming on my turf again" he said in a low pissed voice. I was dumbfounded this kid was standing up to these guys let alone with no weapon wait did he say "again" what does this kid know about the mafia before I could wrap my head around the situation the guys chasing me were cursing, the leader spoke up "we don't mean any trouble we just want the punk that's behind you, you understand we don't cause trouble unless ordered to" the guy stepped up being real friendly, never thought they were scared of anyone before...just who is this kid? "I didn't ask why you were here did I? I don't care what business you have with his guy if his on my turf ill deal with him" the kid stepped forward ready to beat the crap out of them. They flinched some recalling some painful memories "we understand, our boss would be forever grateful if you hand him over when you have time" they were about to leave I sighed with relieve but planned to get the heck out as soon as the chance arrived "my my, I didn't say you guys could leave" he smirked as he got a good few reactions he attacked them without warning, it was savage like a wild animal I didn't know what to think I couldn't even run away. After he was done he looked at me with a glare I noticed his ocean blue eyes I couldn't say anything when he was in front of me "hmm...I have no choice you will have to do" I didn't know what he was talking about, but he gave me a good look up and down and nodded looking at me his glare turning into a cheerful one "from here on out your living with me got it old man" EHHHH!? From that day on we lived together like he said and I gotten use to his weird ways and notice he was a good kid until I saw him on the news one day saying that every mafia was taken down by the Black Lotus his stage name. The Black Lotus causing all sorts of chaos stopped after that.

~Flashback end~

Remembering it gave me a headache afterwards, he still makes my day a living hell even after his gone damn I'm turned on.

Reid POV

I jogged through the pass scanner, getting in line to get my ticket; while I was waiting my phone went off singing a song brother and I made up, reaching into my pocket and pulling it out and answered "yo, this is Reid what's up?" I waited for an answer hearing breathes from the other line "hey bro it's Ichigo, been doing errands, are you at the train station?" I smiled walking off ticket in hand waiting for the train "yeah I am waiting for the train now, you know you don't have to pick me up I can find my way there" there was a small laugh before he said, "well actually you're not going to be here for a while and I am getting a friend of mine to pick you up, he knows a thing or two about your powers in seeing souls so he can help you out hope you don't mind" I felt a little disappointed that he told others about me "cool, so he knows about me?" there was a lingering moment "yeah, I just told him and a few others but their good guys they can help you get stronger and probably taller" I can tell he was smiling on the other side of the phone "hehe is that how your gonna be" after saying this I hung up on his ass that will teach him. The train pulled up and I got on.

Ichigo POV -same time frame when Reid was getting up-

Everyone was getting ready, Ichigo was upstairs planning everything out for today. "alright I meet you up at Urahara's shop" Rukia said going through the window leaving Ichigo in his room, I guess that is it for the welcome party, I should get Yoruichi to watch over Reid from a distance for when Hollows come before getting up and going downstairs "Ichigo, does he still like udon or fish shaped teryaki?" Yuzu looking at me I thought about it, "I have to guess both, we might as well stock up cause he probably still eats a lot" going down the stairs looking around seeing Karin on the sofa, "true, I always wondered where that food goes and how he never gets fat" Karin shook her head still confused till this day, Yuzu and I nodding in agreement "well I am going to head out, be back later" I walking out and ran to Urahara's place.

Everyone was there seated, some talking about who Reid was or what does he have to do with soul reapers. Ichigo walks in along with Urahara on his right "okay let's get down to business, Ichigo here will tell you about our newcomer and then we can ask questions" Urahara announced and took a seat by the table where Ichigo friends were. Ichigo nodded as everyone quieted down "Reid is my friend who I grew up with, he was also part of the hollow incident when I was little, his powers activated that day and for a week his appearance started to change from looks to voice to internal organs" I paused waiting for everyone to grasp the issue then continued "he ran off out of town a few months after that, I couldn't help him since I didn't know what was going on, we did talk on the phone often and he mentioned the people have something called Pulse but the last time I saw him was when he was taking out the few new monsters we see now" I finished speaking and everyone was whispering.

"So those are the basics, now any questions?" Ichigo looked around the room until hearing Uryuus voice "so this kid has powers, sees this so called Pulse and probably hollows as well, wouldn't it be easier to just tell him about the soul reapers rather than keep it a secret? He is your best friend and wouldn't he feel betrayed if he found the truth?" everyone looked at Ichigo and some nodded stating it was a good question, "that would of helped but he was weak he probably wouldn't believe me anyway" Ichigo answered "that's kinda harsh Ichigo what if the time he was gone he improved his skills to actually protect himself ? He has seen it with his own eyes what has been going on" Yoruichi asked keeping the questions going, "well then I guess when he comes then we can see for ourselves, Yoruichi and I can wait to pick him up so we can test his strength and maybe see how he handles hollows and get information about the new enemies" Urahara smiled "and if he has improved a lot to the point he can handle himself in any situation then he can help us out" Toshiro added from the back corner of the room with Rangiku by his side.

I nodded not wanting Reid to get here and feel like a stranger to everything, everyone started getting up and leaving talking about if they could hang out with him when he gets use to everything like they know his going to be alright. "you okay Ichigo?" Toshiro asked not looking at him, they stayed as everyone left "yeah, I just hope that he wont get mad by telling everyone about him" he said "you guys are not kids anymore and I am pretty sure from your description about him, he will be just fine if you can get stronger in a short amount of time then he can too that's what makes you guys friends or should I say brothers" Toshiro said smiling before leaving Rangiku following behind, Toshiro and a few others only know that Reid is my adopted brother.

Kisuke POV

Yoruichi and I went to the underground training room to talk about the meeting earlier "so do you really think that this Reid kid will help us with the new monsters that been appearing lately?" I looked at Yoruichi who looked back smiling, "well in my opinion I think yes, with those kind of powers that Ichigo told us about I think it will help us a lot and we can learn from him to see if we also have that kind of power to destroy them" I explained thinking "seriously we need to think of a name for them instead of calling them monsters" I rubbed the back of my neck laughing a little then getting serious "if Reid gets into the wrong hands, that would be bad for us and I sure don't want Ichigo having to fight him as an enemy" Yoruichi nodded in agreement, "let's get Ichigo to let us pick him up, so we can get his side of things and make a decision" walking back to look for Ichigo.

Ichigo just got off the phone with someone and was not looking to happy when we left my shop, "so what's the news Ichigo?" Yoruichi and I walking towards him "his on the train now" he looked up from where he was standing "he might look different now but I don't think his behavior changed that much" he laughed nervously. "I remember when he would run off and it would be hard to find him, so I got a bell that had a nice ring to it and no matter where he was or how far he would come back" he looked at us smiling, he gave me a cat bell that was black with blue outlining on it "are you serious?" Yoruichi sighed "he might as well get catnip too huh?" she laughed. After Ichigo left knowing I could pick him up without him I decided that I would go while Yoruichi got things ready for the training.

Reid POV

I get off the train and looked around, everything was different from what I remembered when I was little. I tried searching for the person that would pick me up but I didn't see him I forgot to ask Ichigo what he looked like. When I got into a crowded I started hearing a voice that would talk to me every now and then, I learned the hard way to listen to this voice I gave him the name Jester his pretty weird since he appeared when I activated my powers. He taught me a lot of things and trained me I never seen him I can only hear his voice "go to a less crowded place, he will find you" as I did what he told me and got to a clearing and waited I started hearing a bell from a very far distance, focusing on the sound blocking everything out just the way Jester taught me from training over the years. I found where it was coming from and looked in that direction and saw him, holding the bell that Ichigo would ring so I could find him. I was pissed at he told someone about that stupid bell.

Kisuke POV

I was at the train station and saw a great number of people get out of the train where the boy should of been getting off, I looked and didn't see a boy who had black hair and blue eyes from where I was standing so I walked in deeper, and saw a boy jogging from the crowded area with black hair and tan skin. I figured it was him cause he looked like the kid cause of his height, I got the bell and rung it staring dead at him hoping it was him, he looked down I rung it again, I started to feel a weird feeling like he was searching for me, everything was disappearing and it was just me and him ringing it one more time he shot his head in my direction and I knew it was him, I waved and he titled his head looking displeased then walked over lightly like a preying cat then stopped in arm's length away.

We stared at each other for a few minutes, then I held out my hand out "hi there, you much be Reid I'm Urahara Kisuke please to finally meet you, I am a friend of Ichigos hope we can get along" I smiled at him hoping I wouldn't scare him cause he was so short that it looked like I towered over him and his eyes looked so cute just like a felines. He looked at my hand for a while until he tapped it with his finger and looked back at me blankly to see my reaction, I was a bit confused until I figured he that was his way of doing a hand-shake to a stranger. As I dropped my hand and was about to sigh when I heard a soft, sweet radiating voice "please to meet you as well" he smiled looking pretty satisfied after looking at me for awhile longer. I nodded and walked out of the train station, he trotted beside me and I noticed up close he had blueish tips at the end of his hair, face was very attractive.

Yoruichi POV

I heard laughing and guessed it was the kid, I watched as Kisuke and the boy were walking in, Kisuke sat down by me on one side of the table, the boy just stood there observing me, "this is Yoruichi, she is also a friend of Ichigo we are here to get a better understanding of your powers" I looked at Kisuke speaking softly to lighten the tension and I looked back at the boy as he nodded smiling now showing there was no threat and sitting on the opposite side of the table. "Please to meet you, take good care of me" after hearing that I just wanted to jump over the table and hug him, he sounded so cute and looked the part as well. I nodded and we started to get down to business.

Reid POV

Kisuke and I were talking about Ichigo before we arrived at our destination. We walked in and I saw a woman she looked like a ninja or something I didn't know how to take her presence, Kisuke spoke that she was also a friend how many people did he tell, that stupid Ichigo I nodded using my winner smile saying my greetings and sat on the other side of them.

They waited until I got comfortable, "we want to ask a few questions about your powers in details" I nodded smiling and looked at Kisuke who looked like he was going to start it, "can you summarize your powers to us?" Kisuke put tea in front of me and smiled trying not to offend me by asking me these questions. I took a breather before talking "I can basically see what normal kids can't see souls which I found out their called Pulse, hollows which are souls that get turned by other hollows, mostly my powers can detect monsters that I call Akumas I think I know what soul reapers are but never seen one" I go further into details about my powers, but not telling them about Jester they would think of it as a threat if I did. They nodded understanding everything I said. "we are glad to have you here, surprisingly you know what a soul reaper is on your own your very smart and you even made a name for something you never met before it seems you have no problems dealing with them either" the lady replied.

They both got up motioning me to follow "we are actually having problems here some people here that are friends of Ichigo have powers that can see things as well, wondering if you could lend a hand when the time comes" Kisuke glanced back smiling. I nodded making an inner note that they were included in that circle if they know Ichigo and are talking about it, "if you don't mind we wanna see those powers of yours in person so we know what were dealing with" Kisuke yawned arriving at the training ground it was very big enough to go all out if you wanted to. I looked around getting the feel for the place, the woman called Yoruichi attacked without warning quickly dodge with reflex skills I prepared myself for one heck of a fight.

What will Yoruichi and Urahara think about Reids powers? Would Ichigo be able to tell his brother the truth about him being a soul reaper? Find out next time Is Two Better then One?
