Chapter 2

the real introduction

for the past few days ichigo and rukia have been keeping a really close eye on them. and they found out only that they are maybe soul reapers but nothing else other than that fact. so that summer Thursday afternoon they confronted them and asked them straight up. ichigo was standing right over rose and she turned and looked at him. "oh hey ichigo what's up?" she smiled. he kneeled next to her and asked her in a low tone. " rose xander me and rukia saw you two take out that hollow a few days ago... your soul reapers aren't you?" rose got wide eyed and looked at xander who just folder his arms and shrugged laid back and said also in a low tone " ichigo kurosaki one that is none of your business but might as well tell you... yes we are... and I've heard alot about you the Substitute soul reaper ichigo kurosaki." he bit into his apple he had rose looked at ichigo with wide like shes met him before. "ichigo the Substitute... soul reaper... oh you! wow didn't cross my mind you were that guy from before" she smiled nervously. xander had his eyes closed but then had a flash back. and he sat up really quick and said in a low tone but in a high voice. "your that! Substitute soul reaper! no way! the guy that saved her that day a few years back!" ichigo thought about it and then looked at rose and the memory of saving her came back and he looked at her wide eyed "you were little then and you how old now!" she smiled and said in reply "yay you remember me oh and im 14 a freshmen unfortunately" ichigo looked over at xander he was laid back looking at the sky. they continued talking about soul reaper stuff until class restarted.

after school two phones went off, roses and rukias. they looked at each other and they already were already out their gigai and out the windows ichigo and rukia followed their lead. it was 4 menos grande coming for rose and xander. then rukias soul phone detected two other hollows it was rose and xander. they had on the hollow masks like ichigo. " ichigo! its rose and xander the menos are after." ichigo was out his body and in soul reaper form. " that strange lets go see if they need assistance." he runs off to where xander and rose are. 2 menos are already down. rose is injured pretty badly in the side but doesn't stop fighting xander is untouched. xander then uses his ultimate move the explosion of a million shards of lightning. rose takes ichigo and rukia far away from the huge explosion. ichigo and rukia were completely puzzled as rose at there looking over at the huge cloud of smoke. she turned to ichigo and rukia and their eyes grew wide with both surprise and fright. " so your half hollow half human like me?" ichigo asked hoping for her to give a different explanation. " well yeah but its a different story from yours im sure" her voice was doubled and it was her voice and a dark woman's voice with a slight hollow girl click to her voice. " well what's the story?" rukia asked. rose put her hand on the mask and it broke apart and went up into the air. and then sat with her legs crossed. "well okay this is a short part of the entire story or you could say the vital part in it... well to put it straight and forward my mom was human and she fell in love with a hollow and the hollow loved her back. and that's about the end of that." rukia was totally shocked at what was just told. ichigo was unphased. " so your parents were complete opposites then where are they now?" ichigo asked. " well they killed each other so we came here to get the recognition we deserve and so far its going well the head captain said we may have a chance of being captains." she smiled while saying that. then out of now where xander appeared. he looked weird with black hair and black and red eyes roses eyes were already back to normal due to her taking off the hollow mask. his voice was mixed with his voice a really dark mans voice and a hollows voice with the click to it. he stares down at rose with the cold red and black eyes. and said in doubled voice " rose... lets go... we have business to take care of... oh and ichigo...rukia...can you guys come with us?" his mask then broke apart and floated away into nothing and his eyes turned back to normal. rukia looked at rose. she was holding the huge gap in her side that was bleeding. xander saw that there was a puddle of blood where she was sitting and that she was doubled over in pain. xander kneeled down next to her and helped her up. she got up. her eyes grew wide and her eyes started to fade and she stopped and she passed out.
