Hearing About…Soul Humans

It's been about a week since Ichigo found out that I'm a Soul Human and he won't get off my back about it. He wants me to tell some guy named Urahara. I just give him an evil look when he looks at me.

I'm following Ichigo after school, why? I don't know. "You sure you don't want me to tell Kisuke for you?" Ichigo asked.

"I'm sure." I answered. "I don't even want to so why do you keep on bugging me about it?"

"I think Kisuke can keep your secret." Ichigo said.

"Even if he does I don't want the word spreading about me, you know?" I said.

"I guess you do have a point there." Ichigo said. "I'm going to stop by his place, you wanna come?"

"I'm good." I said.

"Hey," A person said. "You don't have to tell someone what to do."

I look at the building we're next to and recognize him. Ikasu? I haven't seen him in years. He is leaning against the wall with his right leg bent while resting his right foot on the wall and crossing his arms while looking down. Ikasu has black hair and blue eyes. He's also 5' 9".

"Who are you anyways?" Ichigo asked while facing him.

Ikasu is in his Soul Reaper form. "Just a friend of Roku's is all." Ikasu said while walking two steps.

"But Roku isn't a Soul Reaper so how does she know you?" Ichigo asked.

"He saved me once before." I said. That is true. "He did save me from a hollow when I was still learning on how to use my powers."

"I see." Ichigo said. "Well, I'm off if you want to join me."

"I'm good." I said.

Ichigo had left. I just hope he doesn't tell that Kisuke Urahara person about me being a Soul Human. Ikasu is a Soul Human as well but his mother is a Soul Reaper and his dad is a human so he has a Soul Reaper form.

"How's it going, Roku?" Ikasu asked.

"Fine," I answered. "How come you showed up out of nowhere?"

"I'm on a month mission." Ikasu answered.

"Oh, really?" I ask. "I haven't seen you in ten years and you show up just for a month mission."

"Yep, that's about it." Ikasu said. "You still live at home?"

"Yeah, why?" I said.

"Just wondering…" Ikasu said.

"If you think I'm going to ask my mom to let you stay at my house, think again." I said.

"We should probably go someplace where there are less people." Ikasu said. "We might draw a crowd."

"I guess you're right." I said. "Let's go to the park to talk."

Ichigo's P.O.V

I walk in the Urahara shop and sit down in front of the table. "Kisuke," I said.

"What is it Ichigo?" Kisuke asked.

"Never mind…it's nothing." I said while crossing my arms.

"Whenever you came in this week you've been acting strange, like you want to say something but don't want to bring it up." Kisuke said. "Is it so that no one gets in trouble?"

"It's hard to say." I said. "I just keep on forgetting what I want to say is all."

"There's more to that, isn't there?" Kisuke asked.

"I'm not going to bring it up if that's what you want." I said.

"I let everyone have fun today." Kisuke said. "I even made Yoruichi go to make sure they don't come back till late so you can tell me what's on your mind."

"It's nothing," I said. "Really."

"You know you can trust me, Ichigo." Kisuke said.

"Alright but I don't want you to tell anyone." I said. "I made a promise."

"I won't tell." Kisuke said.

"Have you heard of a group called Soul Humans?" I ask.

"I haven't heard that name in a long time." Kisuke said.

"So, what do you know about them?" I ask.

"There was this Soul Reaper in the Soul Society wanting to make a group of warriors in The World of the Living so we didn't have to go back and forth so much." Kisuke said. "The group was destroyed over 150 years ago. The Soul Reapers from the Soul Society who were not involved were ordered to destroy the Soul Humans and the parents of those Soul Humans because they were both involved."

"What?" I ask slamming my right hand on the table. "Why would they do that?"

"They are very similar to Substitute Soul Reapers so they didn't want a bunch of them running around." Kisuke said.

"That still doesn't make sense." I said.

"The Soul Reaper convinced a bunch of other Soul Reapers to go in The World of the Living to create these people called Soul Humans." Kisuke continued. "They are made from one parent that is a human and one parent that is a Soul Reaper."

"I still don't know why they made such a big deal out of it." I said.

"It's almost the same as making a group of Substitute Soul Reapers." Kisuke said. "It's against the law in the Soul Society."

"That isn't right." I said. "Destroying a group because of what they are…that's just cruel."

"That's the law for ya." Kisuke said. "After a 150 years passed the subject has closed because they don't want any more of them running around."

"How many do you think there are?" I ask.

"Why, do you want to know?" Kisuke asked.

"Just curious," I said.

"To be honest with you we have no idea." Kisuke said. "There could be hundreds of them or none at all. Why do you ask? Is there one out there?"

"Well…" I said. "I made a promise not to bring it up but since I already have I'll answer. There is one I have met."

"What's their name?" Kisuke asked.

"It's Roku Haruhi." I answered. "She made me promise not to tell anyone so I don't want you to tell anyone either."

"I said I wouldn't." Kisuke said. "And I won't but if I do tell anyone it might be Yoruichi and that's the only person I'll be telling if any at all."

"I trust you about this, Kisuke." I said. "And you better not break it."
