Here's chapter 2 guys enjoy!

Welcome to the Soul Society

Chapter 2 - Komamura

Ugh... what happened? I asked myself as I regained consciousness.

Did I fall out of bed again? I questioned as I felt the hard floor beneath my hands.

And who the hell is making all that noise?! I could hear a faint commotion in the back of my consciousness that was growing in volume.

"...SOUL REAPER!"

The sounds grew louder still, until my hearing was fully restored.

"Now would be a good time to wake up, little brother!"

Brother? What?

And that is when I remembered everything that had happened.

Oh sh- my eyes opened up immediately. I stood up as if I had just been brought back to life with an electrical rod.

The first thing I noticed was that there was dust everywhere.

The second thing i noticed was that there was a pounding in my head.

And the last thing I noticed was the sound of fighting.

I turned my head, knowing what I would see, but still not believing it.

There, amidst the rubble and debris were two beings were engaged in a fight to the death. One, a creature straight out of hell. The other, an almost identical copy of myself.

"I CAN NOT WAIT TO FEAST ON YOUR VERY ESSENCE!" Yelled the creature as it swung it's arm, ready to punch the stranger in the chest. However, the stranger was faster.

He dodged the attack. Not even a second later, he roundhouse kicked the creature into a wall, causing it to collapse on top of said creature.

The stranger looked back at me at that moment. He seemed relieved to find me up.

"Hey bro. Glad you're awake." He said as walked towards me.

"Bro? What?" I said, both confused and cautious as he came closer. He stopped walking when he was a good five steps away from me.

He was about to say something when he suddenly spun his head in the direction of the fallen monster.

"I'll explain later MOVE."

As soon as he said that the creature burst from the fallen debris and lunged towards me. I tried to move out of the way but it was too fast. Before I knew it, the stranger who called himself my 'brother', had grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and tossed me out of the building.

This building was over 8 floors tall. Safe to say, I screamed like a banshee.

As I fell, I thought to myself, Is this how it ends? I closed my eyes, hoping it wouldn't be as painful as I thought it would be. It wasn't. Actually, I didn't feel any pain. Is that normal when you die?

Before I could question this more, I felt as if someone was carrying me. My eyes immediately popped open.

If I was terrified when I saw the monster, I'm pretty sure I pissed myself as I realized that I was in the clutches of, what i thought at the time, was a ten foot tall bear and that we were landing on a nearby building.

Once we had landed and I got over my shock, I most likely looked like a seizure patient as I struggled to free myself.

"Cease your struggles boy, and have more gratitude. I could have easily just allowed you to fall to your death, so be grateful that you are the brother of my dearest friend." Chastised the bear in a male voice.

"Who the- what the-!?" The bear can talk!? I was so shocked, that I forgot to tell him that I was, in fact, an only child. At least I thought I was... he does look like me...

The bear sighed, looked at me, and then let me go.

This gave me an opportunity to see what he looked like.

He stood on two legs (paws?) like a normal human except for the fact that humans aren't bears and bears don't talk. He wore the same robes as the dude that claimed to be my brother, only that on the bears shoulders there was some sort of armor.

As I examined him, he chose to sit on the ground cross-legged, closing his eyes.

"H-hey! bear-man! What's going on here!? Why is everything so... so..." I had a hard time coming up with a word to describe what I had seen and experienced today.

"Hectic?" He asked as he opened his eyes.

I just nodded my head as I tried to get over the fact that I was having a conversation with a giant walking, talking animal.

The bear sighed, (he does that a lot. I think he's getting tired of me) and began, what I expected, was going to be a long speech.

"Let us start with this: I am a wolf, more specifically, a werewolf. Please remember that." He said as he looked at me.

I gulped. Is that supposed to make me feel better?

He made a coughing sound before continuing. "My name is Captain Sajin Komamura and I am what in your language is called a Soul Reaper." I opened my mouth, ready to ask what that meant. "Before you ask the obvious question, here is the answer:" I closed my mouth. "a soul reaper protects souls who go through transmigration or reincarnation, as it is more commonly known. Soul reapers also have the duty of purifying hollows, those are souls who lost their way after dieing."

At first it seemed surreal to me that this was even possible, but I had been raised in a Latino household full of superstitions, and it it didn't really surprise me as much as the fact that I was talking to a 10 foot tall werewolf.

"Why did it attack the university then." I asked the soul reaper, as I dusted off my shirt from all the debris it had on it.

Komamura sighed again and reached his ear to scratch an itch that had been bothering him. "They were after you, you see strong spiritual energy draws hollows. They search in packs and devour the soul of the human and become stronger. We exist to keep these scenarios from happening."

"Oh so that's why you guys came to save the university; because the spiritual energy is strong here. Wait what!? So you guys came to save me!"

"No, on the contrary your brother Roman and I came here to investigate a powerful energy that has been killing shinigami." He got up and looked at the building where Roman was battling.

He seemed to have the upper hand but every time he went in for the kill, the hollow would escape in the last moment. Komamura seemed to find this odd as well, but instead of interfering and helping his subordinate he chose to refrain himself and watch.

Wait... why do they keep saying that he's my brother? I chose to ask this question aloud.

"Hey, Komamura how come you keep saying he's my brother. I was born an only child."

Captain Komamura didn't seem to be listening to me but when he did, he walked towards me and stood no closer than 3 feet from me. I could feel powerful strength surging through the ground from where he stood.

"You are going to have a difficult time comprehending this, but you Leonardo Cruz are not an only child, you were separated from your parents at a very young age, and that curly haired moron is your brother whom witnessed your parents die in a burning fire."

For a moment, I could not comprehend what he had said. However when it sunk in, I felt as if my knees became weak, my legs felt like jello, and my eyelids began to close. I lost consciousness again.
