Chapter 11: Reincarnation is Indeed a Strange Thing

Kyon walked into the classroom and saw Haruhi daydreaming.

"Hey!" said Kyon snapping out her out of her daydream.

"Hey…" said Haruhi, then she smiled "Oh Mikuru's going to under go special training!"

"What? What kind of special training?" asked Kyon.

"That's a secret!" said Haruhi with a smirk.

Kyon sighed.

That's when there was a loud crash. They looked to see Yachiru had crashed into some of the desks.

"Made it on time!" cheered Yachiru.

"You weren't even late." Pointed out a boy with somewhat long black hair and green eyes.

Yachiru stuck her tongue out at the boy.

The boy just brushed it off…

"There's something I've been meaning to ask you." Said Haruhi.

"What?" asked Kyon.

"It's about Yachiru." Said Haruhi.

"Growth spurt." Said Kyon.

"How did you know." Said Haruhi.

"It was bound to come up sooner or later." Said Kyon.

"Did Toshiro go though one too?" asked Haruhi.

"No..." said Kyon, "He's still really short."

"I see." Said Haruhi.

Sometime later that during lunch, Haruhi left… to somewhere. Kyon got his lunch ready when the boy who told Yachiru she wasn't late approached his desk.

""Excuse me, Kurosaki… can I eat lunch with you." Said the boy.

"Shino… right." Said Kyon.

"Please call me Ulrich." Said the boy, "After all it's western culture to call someone by their first name."

This was Ulrich Shino, his mother was from the US, which is why his first name wasn't Japanese… from what Kyon heard is that both his parents died when he was in elementary school as well.

"But why are you calling me by my last name?" asked Kyon.

"Because your 100 percent Japanese." Said Ulrich.

Kyon stared at him.

"So… can I eat lunch with you." Said Ulrich.

"Sure I guess." Said Kyon staring at him.

Ulrich was also infamous in class for being a loner. He never talked to anyone and just ate lunch alone.

"So…" said Ulrich, "What's your family like?"

"Why do you want to know?" asked Kyon.

"I just want to know some of class mate better." Said Ulrich.

"Well my mom is the creator of Berry Bunny." Said Kyon.

"I loved that as a kid!" said Ulrich.

"And my dad has a rare heart condition that prevents him from working." Said Kyon.

"Is he that orange hair guy I've seen around?" asked Ulrich.

"Probably." Said Kyon.

"Any siblings?" asked Ulrich.

"Just a little sister." Said Kyon.

"That's nice to have a family…" said Ulrich, "So what your connection to Miss Suzumiya."

"Oh yeah.. .you went to the same Jr. High." Said Kyon.

"I was in the same class as her the entire time." Said Ulrich.

"So how long did you last?" asked Kyon.

"Never asked her out." Said Ulrich, "I didn't think it would be a good idea to expose her to me… might have triggered something unwanted, who would have though your family would have been the trigger… Kurosaki."

"What?" asked Kyon.

That's when Ulrich sent out some of his spiritual pressure at Kyon… Kyon recognized.

"You're…" said Kyon.

"Tell Ms. Suzumiya that I want to meet you two on the roof after school." Said Ulrich in a smirk as he got up, "I would have asked you two to me at now… but the roof is so busy this time around… ever since Lieutenant Kusajishi enrolled."

On the roof top…

Yachiru was surrounded by gang members. In her hands was a wooden sword.

"Yachiru Kusajishi! We the Black Tigers will take you out!" shouted of on the gang members.

"We refuse to believe that you have taken down the Jets, the Deathly Skulls and the Evil Cookies Club." Said another.

"Yeah you… you with your pink hair and rainbow socks!" said yet another gang.

Oh yes, it will now be pointed out that Yachiru wears knee high rainbow socks with her uniform.

"Yeah, yeah… but remember boys! One at a time." Said Yachiru.

The gang members nodded… one ran towards Yachiru, she easily knocked him out with her wooden sword.

"Next!" she called with a crazy grin.

All the other members of the gang gulped.

Back in the classroom…

"Yachiru…" thought Kyon with his eye twitching.

"Remember tell Ms. Suzumiya about after school." Said Ulrich leaving.

Right before class stared Haruhi returned.

"Good your back." Said Kyon.

"What happened?" asked Haruhi.

"Ulrich wants to meet the two of us on the roof after school." Said Kyon.

"Who?" asked Haruhi.

Kyon pointed to Ulrich who was watched. Both of them saw the creepy smile when Kyon pointed to him.

"He's the one from the other day… right?" asked Haruhi.

Kyon nodded…

That's when the bell rang, Okabe entered the room dragging in Yachiru.

"I understand your father lives in another city… however if you continue this behavior I'm going to have to arrange a meeting." Said Okabe.

Yachiru pouted when he said that, then took her seat.

"Who did she fight today?" asked Kyon.

"The Black Tigers." Answered Haruhi.

That day after school… both Haruhi and Kyon walked up the stairs. They got to the roof to find Ulrich was already there.

"Well, well… do you actually came." Said Ulrich with a smirk.

"Okay so who's your mother?" asked Haruhi.

"My mother was a human, so was my father." Said Ulrich, "I figured that Ms. Tsuruya was able to sense to I was a Hybrid."

"That and you told us…" said Kyon.

There was awkward silence.

"Oh yeah I forgot about that." Said Ulrich.

"Then how are you a Hybrid?" asked Haruhi.

"Reincarnation is a funny thing you know." Said Ulrich, "You'll never know when someone will remember a past life… and should they have been a powerful being then they would be able to retain their abilities… All I can say is that I never excepted you woman, to have that sort of personality… even after regaining your memories."

"It can't be…" thought Haruhi.

That's when Ulrich began to glow emerald green, he separated from his body, revealing his Arrancar form… well his half Arrancar form. He was even more pale than his body, with green lines going from his eyes. His mask fragment was half a helmet with a horn coming from it.

Haruhi fell to her knees in shock.

Kyon looked at Ulrich who was smirking.

Kyon recognized him from stories other told them growing up… he was the spitting image of a certain Arrancar.

"You're the reincarnation of Urolora… Urialioa… Urqolaor…" said Kyon struggling with the name.

"It's Ulquiorra." Sighed Ulrich, "It's not that hard to say."

"IF you say so." Said Kyon.

"And yes you are right, I'm his reincarnation." Said Ulrich, "Are you going to fight me Kurosaki?"

Kyon gritted his teeth. "Fine." He said taking out his Soul Candy. He plopped it into his mouth separating his soul from his body.

Kyon who looked Haruhi who was in shock.

"Chappy! Take care of Haruhi." Ordered Kyon.

"Right! Hop!" saluted the artificial soul in Kyon's body.

"I really have to get my own Soul Candy." Thought Kyon.

"Are you ready Kurosaki?" asked Ulrich.

Kyon nodded and ran toward Ulrich. The two of them clashed swords.

Haruhi helplessly watched them fight.

"What's going on… is Ulrich our enemy… how can he be…" thought Haruhi.

"You okay? Hop?" asked Chappy.

"I'm fine." Said Haruhi.

Back with the fight… the two-continued to clash sword.

"Well Kurosaki, aren't you going to use Shikai?" asked Ulrich.

"I haven't learned it." Said Kyon.

Ulrich's eyes widened then he jumped away.

"You're not worth my time then." He answered.

He grabbed his body and jumped off the roof. He got into his body in midair and landed on his feet.

"Kurosaki… we will meet again." Said Ulrich loudly.

"We're in the same class…" pointed out Kyon.

"I meant out of class." Said Ulrich with a smirk, "Later…"

Ulrich calmly walked back inside the building.

Kyon glared at Ulrich then walked over to Haruhi.

"Are you okay?" asked Kyon.

"Kyon?" asked Haruhi.

"Yeah?" asked Kyon.

"Do you think he's an enemy?" asked Haruhi.

Kyon sighed… with what happened before, him helping them and just now.

"It's really hard to say." He answered.

Haruhi sighed… "Okay…" she said.

Kyon got back into his body and they headed to the clubroom. When they got there both Itsuki and Yuki looked at them.

"What?" asked Haruhi.

Itsuki sighed, "I don't know how to say this… but did something happen?"

Haruhi seemed to get upset, "Why do I have to tell you?" asked Haruhi.

"Great… take it out on someone else." Thought Kyon.

Itsuki sighed, "It's just that… there's a closed space." He explained.

Both Kyon and Haruhi's eyes widened.

Meanwhile Ulrich was walking home when he passed Kisuke's house…. Kisuke happened to be outside.

"So, how did it go?" asked Kisuke.

"If that didn't confuse them I don't know what would." Said Ulrich trying not to laugh.

"So when are you going to reveal yourself as someone on our side?" asked Kisuke.

"Don't know…" said Ulrich, "I'm kind of hopping I get the chance to throw a rose at the enemy… "

"Is that supposed to be a joke?" asked Kisuke.

"Kind of…" said Ulrich with a shrug, "But there might be a problem… I have the weirdest feeling I made things worse."

"You did." Said a voice.

They looked down and saw a talking cat, "Haruhi still is unable to fully control her powers. What just happened made her depressed… meaning she created a closed space." Said the cat, "I think I might need to introduce myself to the brigade."

Kisuke adjusted his hat, "I was going to talk to you about that."

And so the mysterious figure turned out to be a classmate of Haruhi's from way back… however this event reveled some things that they needed to know. However the S.O.S. Brigade still needed some more training… and fortunately they had one of the best trainers out there…

Next Time: The S.O.S. Brigade plays a game of tag... It may not sound like much, but add in a certain former captain who can turn into a cat it turns in training... very, very strange training. Meanwhile the Back up Brigade confronts Ulrich. What will happen? Find out next time!
