Chapter 5: Identities + Vampire

Tsukune and the rest of the newspaper club are still awaiting the arrival of Ichigo, Rukia, Neliel at the Urahara Shop. While they were waiting, Tsukune remembered the abilities that Ichigo and his two friends demonstrated during the battle against the hollows.

"Hey," Kisuke said as he enters the room that the newspaper club is in, "I heard about your little adventure."

"You did," Tsukune asked surprised.

"From who," Moka asked.

"From one of my clients, of course," Kisuke answered with a laugh.

"You have clients," Mizore questioned.

"Of course, I do. Without any clients, I could out of business. But that's beside the fact, the person I was talking to caught a glimpse of what you guys do."

"We were attacked," Kurumu said.

"She's right," Kokoa defended, "What did you want us to do? Stand there like a bunch of sitting ducks, that's stupid."

"I know," Kisuke said, "If you're being attacked, it's natural that you have to find a way to defend yourselves. I'm just saying that you caught the attention of the people who are coming here in a moment."

"You're talking the people with the strange clothing and swords," Tsukune asked.

"Yes, I see you know them already."

"Not really," Moka said, "They haven't told us their names or what they are."

"They can't be human," Ruby said, "But they don't look like they came from Yokai Academy either. Do you know who are? They are your 'clients' after all."

"If I tell you now, I'll ruin the little surprise they'll have for you," Kisuke stated.

"But can you at least tell us a little about them," Yukari requested.

"Sorry, but my lips are sealed."

"Come on, you guys," Gin said, "If he does tell us about them, he might give us the full story. I see should wait for those so-called clients of his to show up."

"Oh come on now, you guys clients as if I'm lying about them."

"You could be lying about your clients," Mizore said.

Meanwhile in Ichigo's room, Ichigo, Rukia, and Neliel are preparing to go to Kisuke's shop.

"I don't know about those guys," Neliel said, "Those powers they got are unlike the ones I've seen from an arrancar or a soul reaper."

"Well there are times where you come across people with powers that are similar to the ones that we saw," Rukia stated, "You should have already known that."

"Yeah but Nel does a have a point," Ichigo said, "Those abilities are unlike what we're used to, especially the girl with the pink hair and the double personality."

"Oh, like you don't have one Ichigo."

"That's not the point I'm trying to make."

"Then, what are you trying to prove?"

"Yeah, she's right," Neliel agreed, "And why the one with the pink girl? Are you trying to cheat on me?"

"What," Ichigo said embarrassed, "No, that's not it. It's…"

"Well, what is it?"

"I think he's talking about what she did against those hollows," Rukia said.

"Yeah," Ichigo agreed, "That arrogant attitude of hers. Reminds me of Byakuya if you ask me."

"My brother is not like that."

"That's what you say."

"Come on, you two," Neliel interjects, "Let's calm down. I'm sure we'll get more information those guys we saw earlier. We just need to meet with them in the Urahara Shop like we said."

"She's right," said Rukia.

"Ok," Ichigo said, "Let's go."

A few minutes later, Ichigo, Rukia, and Neliel arrived at the Urahara Shop and saw Kisuke sitting with the newspaper club.

"Oh there you guys are," he said, "I could from your phone call that you got questions about my guest. Allow to me start the explanations, these guys are from a special school."

"What kind of school," Neliel asked,

"A school for monsters named Yokai Academy."

"Yokai Academy," Rukia repeated, "The school that teaches monsters to live in harmony in humans?"

"You heard about our school," Ruby asked.

"Yes, I heard that the school is located in a world separate from the soul society and Hueco Mundo. And I heard that it's only reserved for monsters."

"Yeah, I heard about the school too," Neliel said.

"And the thought about the school didn't enter your mind until a few minutes ago," Ichigo said in his usual way.

"Well since you know that much about the school," Kisuke said, "You probably know about the transfer program they have as well."

"What transfer program are you talking about," Rukia asked.

"Well this just been thought up recently. But you heard about the new students coming to your school, right?"

"Yeah, but how did you know about it," Ichigo asked bluntly.

"Well I'm a good friend of the headmaster there and he filled me in with the idea. And their newspaper club was selected due their past experiences in the world of living. Since you saw their powers earlier, I think they need to tell what they are."

"Well that would help us to what type of monsters they are so we could have better understanding on how they did what they did," Neliel stated, "And I guess we should do the same."

"If that's the case," Gin said standing up, "My name is Ginei Morioka, but you can call me Gin. And I'm a werewolf."

"I'm Ruby Tojo," Ruby said standing up like Gin, "And I'm a witch."

"I'm a witch too," Yukari jumped up, "My name is Yukari Sendo."

"I'm Kurumu Kurono," Kurumu stood up, "I'm a succubus."

"I'm an ice woman and my name is Mizore Shirayuki," Mizore said standing up as well.

"The name is Kokoa Shuzen," Kokoa said, "And I'm a vampire."

"And I'm her older sister," Moka said, "My name is Moka Akashiya and I'm a vampire."

"And I'm Tsukune Aono," Tsukune said, "I'm a human."

Ichigo, Rukia, and Neliel's eyes widen when they heard that.

"I figured as much," Kisuke said as he opened his fan.

"You are a human," Ichigo said surprised, "Then how were you able to see us back there?"

"Rukia, did you say that the world that the school is located is a world separate from the soul society and Hueco Mundo, correct," Neliel asked and Rukia nodded in response.

"Then, it's a spirit enriched zone. His time spent there must have given him enough sprit energy to allow him to see spirits."

"That's correct, Nel," Kisuke said, "Plus he has something in him that is also giving off spirit energy but you'll find out later. Since you now know what they are, should you return the favor?"

"Right," Rukia said, "I'm Rukia Kuchiki and I'm soul reaper. My orange-haired friend here is a soul reaper too. His name is Ichigo Kurosaki."

'I knew it,' Ruby thought remembering seeing Rukia's kido.

"What's a soul reaper," Moka asked.

"A soul reaper is a like a spirit with the ability to combat the monsters that we saw earlier," Ruby explained, "They fight with spells with witches that they call kido or with a sword called a zanpakuto. They also send spirits that haven't move on to the world to the soul society"

"How did you know all of that," Ichigo asked the elder witch.

"I told about them when I was little."

"Me too," Yukari said.

"And you could have told us about them when we first saw them," Kurumu said.

"We could have, but someone like you wouldn't understand with that tiny brain of yours."

"What did you say, you flat-chested brat?"

"You heard me, you over-sized cow!"

"Anyways," Rukia said to stop the two girls from fighting, "the girl clinging to his arm is Neliel Tu Odelschwank. She's an arrancar."

"An arrancar is what exactly," Tsukune asked.

"An arrancar is a hollow, like the ones who fought earlier, but they're given the powers of soul reaper," Kisuke explained, "They have parts of their old hollow selves by either a hole on their bodies or by a piece of their hollow mask. They use a zanpakuto like a soul reaper but instead of kido, they use a type of blast known as cero. Nel used to be in a special class of arrancar known as espada."

"Espada," Kokoa repeated now curious.

"An espada is an elite class of arrancars or in words, an S-class monster."

"WHAT," the newspaper club yelled surprised, "SHE'S THAT STRONG?"

"Yes," Neliel said stretching the back of her head, "But, I'm a former espada. Most of them are dead and the surviving two; I don't know what happened to them."

"Well, it's getting late," Kisuke said, "You guys should get home."

"Right," Rukia said leaving the shop, "Well we'll see you guys on Monday."

"It was nice to meet all of you," Neliel said bowing her head and following Rukia.

"Take care," Ichigo said, "And see you on Monday."

After Ichigo left, Ms. Nekonome walked in and the newspaper club had supper and went to bed remembering what happened today.

Next time: The newspaper club starts their first day in Karakura High and is introduced to the rest Ichigo's friends.
