The Truth…About Soul Humans
I am at the park with Ikasu. We decide to sit on the swings, me on one and Ikasu on the other. My blonde hair is blowing behind me. It's a little bit past my shoulders. We're quiet for quite some time.
"What's been going on, Roku?" Ikasu said while breaking the silence.
"I just transferred to Karakura High." I answered. "And I met the Substitute Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki."
"Does he know you're a Soul Human?" Ikasu questioned.
"I'm not going to answer that." I snapped.
"So, he does know?" Ikasu asked.
"You can figure that out for yourself." I told him.
"Would you quit talking like that?" Ikasu asked.
"Sorry." I said. "It's just that you were gone for ten years and I'm a little mad."
"I don't blame you for that." Ikasu said. "But I would like to know if Ichigo knows that you are a Soul Human."
"He knows." I replied. "But I don't want you to make any comments."
"I won't but does anyone else know?" Ikasu asked.
"Not that I know of," I answered. "Besides my mother of course."
"Yeah," Ikasu said. "I should probably get going and patrol the town."
"Already?" I ask.
"Yeah," Ikasu answered. "That's what I came here to do. See you around."
"Yeah," I said. "See you."
Ikasu stood up and used his flash step to leave. I decided to stay at the park longer. Ichigo stood in front of me in his Soul Reaper form. "Why didn't you tell me the history of the Soul Humans?" Ichigo asked.
"What do you mean?" I ask. "All I know is that my father said that there were others like me."
"You mean you don't know?" Ichigo asked.
"Don't know what?" I said.
"Kisuke told me that there were tons of them roaming around. Then one day the Soul Reapers from the Soul Society were told to destroy them and the parents of the Soul Humans." Ichigo said. "I can't believe you didn't know that."
I just look at him in shock. There was a bunch of my kind at one point? How can they all be destroyed like that? "Why did you tell him anyways?" I ask as I stand up. I barely got those words out.
"Because Kisuke would probably know about that," Ichigo replied. "He seems to know a bunch of that kind of stuff that goes around the Soul Society."
"Why you little…" I said. "I told you not to tell anyone!"
I make my Zanpakuto appear out of nowhere. I grip it with my right hand and start charging at Ichigo. He blocks my attack with his Zanpakuto. We backed up a few inches after our Zanpakuto's touched. "Would you knock that off, Roku?" Ichigo asked.
I use my flash step and back up. Then Ichigo decided to come at me. He doesn't use his Zanpakuto though. He grips the collar of my shirt. "Stop acting like this!" Ichigo said. He let go.
I make my Zanpakuto disappear. "Sorry." I said quietly. "I guess I'm not used to any other Soul Reapers around."
"I told Kisuke because I trust him." Ichigo said. "He won't tell others. I'll make sure of that."
