Please review people or I won't add anymore chapters. I just want ONE REVIEW. ONE. To let me know how the story is going.
Tatsuki, Ichigo and Rukia returned to class quickly taking their seats. The principal had deemed to the damage to the roof not affecting the learning environment and ordered everyone back to class as well as the fact that they only had one more class to go before the day ended. There science teacher did role call.
"Kai Zetsumei. Kai Zetsumei."
"Kai went home. He was deeply affected by the day's explosion and wanted to go home and rest."
The teacher looked at Tatsuki before nodding.
"Where did he go?" whispered Ichigo.
"My house," answered Tatsuki.
"But won't your parents…"
"They're out of town for the week."
The two nodded. None of them concentrated that period. Tatsuki just stared at the clock waiting for the bell to ring. And once it did the three quickly dashed out of the room.
"Ichigo, Rukia!" once they had gotten a good distance away from everyone and were headed to Tatsuki house, "Explain right now what's going on. These weird creatures, Kai, Ichigo. What the hell is going on?!"
Rukia sighed and began digging through her back pack for her notepad.
Ichigo slapped his forehead and mumbled, "You had to ask. Not this again. RUKIA YOU CAN'T DRAW!"
Rukia punched Ichigo in the face as she flipped through the pad. "Ok…" she breathed. "Kai, Ichigo and I are Soul Reapers. We enable people to pass on and we fight creatures called Hollows." Rukia showed Tatsuki her odd bear and bunny drawings. Tatsuki stared at the paper for a minute.
"I think I get it."
"Now…there are a few humans that are able to see us like Ichigo, you, and so on."
"So is Kai human?"
"No…he's a Soul Reaper."
"So he's dead?"
"Not necessarily. He was born in the "human" world, but was brought to the Soul Society where he became a shingami."
"What?"
"Fancy word for Soul Reaper. He was young when he died in the human world. He was 13."
"How?"
"You'll have to ask him."
"He doesn't talk."
"He did once. So maybe he'll do it again. Anyway even though Kai is technically a Rogue Shingami and deserter of the Soul Society for the last 100 years he is still technically a Soul Reaper. You are most likely able to see him because of your spirit energy."
"What about last night at Ichigo's house? His dad and sisters didn't claim to see him."
"Well Karin can see spirits. She's just in a state of denial, but Yuzu and my dad didn't see him."
"Ok. And the Hollows?"
"Soul Reapers have the ability to sense them. Although Kai's ability is better then mosts. Ichigo's ability is good too, but not like Kai's."
"Thanks." Sighed Ichigo.
"Are Hollows easy to kill? Kai kills them quickly."
"Most of the time, no. Kai happens to be very, very skilled. Which allows him to kill almost any Hollow in a short amount of time."
"Well that answers many of my questions, so thank you. Now I know why you two are so close and why you disappear from time to time and why you came so quickly the day of the explosion."
"You're welcome. And don't tell anyone else of this conversation."
"Right."
They arrived at Tatsuki house to find Kai sitting quietly against the door completely asleep. Tatsuki smiled as she went over to him to get him to wake up.
"You know it's unlocked right?"
Kai nodded.
"But if you could tell me you would say it was, "rude to enter someone's house without them there." Right?"
Kai nodded with a smile as they entered the house. He wandered about examining many of the appliances located in the residence. He pressed a button the television and stared mesmerized at the images on it. Tatsuki turned it off. Kai looked disappointed, but was soon amazed by the radio which he turned the volume up too loud.
"Knock if off. You think it's rude to enter my house, but not to touch my things. You can be such a child." She shook her head.
"That's what I said."
Tatsuki pointed to the dinner table where everyone sat down. "Alright Kai. We're going to try and get you to talk. At least a little."
