Whispering Shinigami

Chapter 1

The Soul Society. The afterlife is where all souls from the World of the Living go after their time comes to end. Not only do souls from the World of the Living life with her but also Shinigami as well. Shinigami, also known as Death Gods or Soul Reapers, are the guardians whose jobs are to help souls pass on from the World of the Living but to deal with Hollows. The Hollows are a race of monsters that are born from Human Souls who, for various reasons, do not cross over to the Soul Society, after their death and stay in the World of the Living for far too long. They are corrupt spirits with supernatural powers which devour the souls of both living and deceased Humans.

Shinigami have four areas in which they are trained. The four areas that they are trained in are Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hoho, and Kido. With four different areas, many Shinigami have their strengths and weaknesses of them. Some may have a talent in Kido but lack in Hakuda, and so on depending on the person. While learning these four areas, those who wish to become a Shinigami must attend the Shinoreijutsuin or Shin'o Academy. The Shin'o Academy is located in the Seireitei which is the Center of the Soul Society.

Within the Soul Society is also the famous Gotei 13 otherwise known as the Thirteen Court Guard Squads. Each squad has a Captain and a Lieutenant each possessing immense strength in various areas. For one to become one, there are three ways for a Shinigami to become one. The first way is a Captain Proficiency Test which requires the tester to perform a technique called Bankai with at least three existing captains, including the Captain-Commander, having to witness the test. Another is Personal Recommendation from at least six of the captains while getting the approval of three from the remaining seven. The final way, which is a rather barbaric way, is the Trial by Combat with at least 200 witnesses from the captain's division. Although, this method allows one to bypass having the mastery of Bankai or other possible abilities which a captain would otherwise be required to know of, for it allows no judgment from captains who would require those skills as a prerequisite to join their ranks.

However, to obtain Bankai, A Shinigami must learn the name of his Zanpakuto as only a few other than Captains and Lieutenants have been able to do. Each Zanpakuto has its unique name and abilities varying from the other. There is one Zanpakuto whose power is different from most as he is waiting for his time to be called by his master. As for that master, he is only a child who is running a small town within the Rukongai having fun. The child has short green hair with a rather cheerful personality as he tends to create a bit of mischief but means well. His name is Y/N L/N and he is well known in district 17 in South Rukongai for being a rather energetic one.

Right now he was running around with a smile on his face as he had a few Shinigami chasing after him after pulling a prank on them while they were sleeping.

Y/N: Hahahaha!!!! You guys are way too slow!! You'll never catch me!! Said as he laughed.

There are three Shinigami chasing after him all rather annoyed with him.

Shinigami 1: Damn kid!!

Shinigami 2: Get back here!!!

Y/N: Try to catch me if you can losers!!! Said as he laughed.

The third one appeared in front of him with a smirk.

Shinigami 3: I got you now!!

Y/N smiled as he slide under him while pulling the Shinigami's pants.

Y/N: You're too slow!!! Hahahaha!!! Said as he ran on ahead.

The other two who were chasing him ran into the other one. Y/N ran on ahead leaving them where they were as he gained good distance from them. Once he got to a good spot, he went to a nearby tree and climb it as he sat on one of the branches. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the money he had gotten from the Shinigami as he chuckled.
