The next day

Ichigo is sitting at his desk at school surrounded by his friends as he hears a familiar voice

Rukia:you must be Ichigo Kurosaki correct

Ichigo moves his head so he can see Rukia as his friends turn to face her

Keith:hey what the hell Ichigo why didn't you tell me you know the new kid

Ichigo:I don't and I didn't even know we had a new student

Rukia:its true this is our first time meeting I just heard a bit about him and thought I'd come say hello

Rukia extends her hand out towards Ichigo revealing the palm of her hand

Rukia:it's very nice to meet you Ichigo

"Make a scene and you're dead"

Ichigo:seriously

Ichigo accepts rukia's hand and shakes it

Ichigo:likewise

Ichigo let's rukia hand go as the teacher comes in and class is started as uryu looks back

Uryu:so she's the reaper you were talking about... She doesn't seem all that impressive compared to you

Time skip

Lunch

Ichigo and rukia are in a secluded place at school no one else around

Rukia:so this is a human school huh

Ichigo:ya know that was pretty messed up and what if someone else had seen that on your hand

Rukia:it would have been fine don't worry about it

Ichigo:sure but then I have another question what are you doing here

Rukia:well I have some questions I'd like answered by you and I did say we may end up working together so it seems only right to get to know you right

Ichigo:whatever.. What are your questions

Rukia:well for one.... How do you have soul reaper powers...and why do you seem so comfortable with using them

Ichigo:how should I answer

A few seconds rolls by

Rukia:well

Ichigo sighs to himself scratching the back of his head clearly annoyed by the situation he finds himself in

Ichigo:I've had these powers since I was a kid I don't know how I got them as for how I am so comfortable with using them well I really don't have a answer I tend to let instinct do most of the work

Zafkiel:liar

Ichigo:the best lies have some truth mixed in

Rukia:since you were a kid huh... So strange maybe you are defective somehow

Ichigo:rude

Rukia:well either way I'd like you to assist me with hollows

Ichigo:why aren't you strong enough

Rukia:well you have the powers of a soul reaper if you've had them since you were a child then some training will be necessary so you don't hurt anyone unintentionally

Ichigo:fine

Rukia:good

Rukia takes out a glove as she pushes Ichigo out of his body letting his body fall to the ground as Ichigo now stands in his soul reaper form

Ichigo:what if someone sees me

Rukia:no one will see you in your soul reaper form you're a spiritual be-

Ichigo:that's not what I mean

Ichigo points down to his human body as rukia blinks now realizing what he meant before she shrugs

Rukia:it will be fine

Ichigo:what a pain

Rukia:anyway we have a hollow not to far from here so let's go

Ichigo:aren't you going to leave your body

Rukia:huh why would I this is your training and this is a gigai It's a fake body that allows soul reapers to interact with normal humans

Time skip

Rukia and Ichigo now stand in the park

Ichigo:the park huh

Rukia seems to be checking her soul pager

Rukia:alright it should be close by

Just then the scream of a hollow echoes throughout the park as Ichigo looks towards the hollow seeing it chase after the spirit of a young boy Ichigo takes a step forward

Rukia:stop... I have a question first

Ichigo:and what would that be

Rukia:I'm assuming you just have raw talent and killed the hollow last night through that however in that circumstance it was your family in danger so then... Would you be willing to risk your soul for a stranger

Ichigo:that's a stupid question

Rukia:what

Is all rukia could get out before Ichigo moves and kills the hollow with ease

Ichigo:rukia

Rukia:what is it

Rukia says this in a shocked tone as Ichigo once more has killed a hollow with ease as Ichigo stands over the now slain hollow as it begins to disappear and as soon as it does Ichigo performs a konso on the young boy allowing his soul to go to soul society

Ichigo:when you have the power to stop something yet do nothing who's fault does it become

Rukia:what do you mean

Ichigo:if you are at the scene and do nothing is it the fault of the hollows that a soul died... The hollows are obeying their instant rather like animals.. The soul couldn't defend itself so then... The blame lies with the soul reaper ... So to answer your stupid question rukia if I have the power to stop something happening right in front of me that I know isn't right... And do nothing what does that make me

Rukia doesn't say anything as Ichigo leaves heading back to his school

Ichigo:that should do it.. Right.... What do you think Zafkiel

Zafkiel:I think that did just fine

Ichigo:good
