" My powers....t-there gone..."  Rukia stuttered between words. Ichigo widened in awe. There was a short silence when Rukia decided to speak up. " I was supposed to give you half of my shinigami powers to fight the creature but for some reason it seems that you absorbed all of it"  Ichigo shook his head in understandment. Ichigo lend a hand to Rukia and helped her get of the ground. Ichigo was lost in fighting the monster that he actually didn't have time to actually notice the girl's physical features. She was rather short and had shoulder length raven hair that swooped down and curled up at the ends and had a pair of silvery eyes with a hint of purple in them. The teen then diverted his attention to the road as he walked to his home and was then interrupted by none other than the female ravenette. "Uh Ichigo, if you don't mind then can I stay at your house?.."  

Ichigo then stopped in his tracks to turn around and face the girl. He looked at her with both shock and stupidity. He then cleared his throat as if he were to say something quite long " ... WHAT DO YOU MEAN STAY AT MY HOUSE!? ARE YOU STUPID, WHAT IF MY FAMILY SEES YOU WHAT DO I SAY TO THEM AND WHAT AB-"  He was then interrupted by a sudden swat on his cheek which left a burning sensation on his face. before he could even retort, he was met with a very stern and annoyed voice of Rukia. " BAKA! IM A SOUL, NORMAL HUMANS CAN'T SEE ME! CMON IT WON'T BE THAT BAD! PLEASEEE "  Rukia exclaimed back. Ichigo mentally face palmed and sighed and thought for a few seconds before opening his eyes and nodding his head in agreement although he had a scowl on his face.. Rukia gave a subtle smile before following the other to his house. After a few minutes of silence and slow pacing Ichigo decided to speak. " So Rukia, if your a soul, why have you come here and what is that monster i fought earlier?" Rukia realized that this guy was a human and didn't know anything about this. " Well, this world I come from is called the Soul Society. I was sent by them to exterminate those creatures. These creatures are called Hollows. Hollows are usually lost souls who haven't attained peace from their living life or have done many grave sins in there life. These lost and sorrowful souls then transform into hollows instead of going to the Soul Society like other souls. But what makes Hollows dangerous is that they feast on the souls of human's souls or even sprits to fulfill their appetite. As shinigamis, it's our job to protect people from getting attacked by Hollows and to help the hollows get peace and return in the Soul Society. "

Ichigo processed all information in his head and then nodded his head in acknowledgement. But he still had another question. Hoping that Rukia wasn't going to get annoyed, he asked.  " So does my sword have any ability and does it have a name?" Rukia then looked Ichigo but soon stared at the huge body length sword currently on his back before turning her head towards the walkway and answering. " Every shinigami has a sword like that. It's called a zanpakto. A zanpakto also has 2 levels. Level one is called shikai. This is the zanpakto 's normal state. Level two is called bankai. This however can only be unlocked after years of hard work training. Once you reach your bankai, you get a spirit and from time to time you can travel to your inner world and meet your spirit. Each bankai has it's own unique and special ability." 

" Hm ok is that all I need to know?" Ichigo questioned. Rukia nodded her head in response. Finally after what felt like an eternity, they reached Ichigo's house....Well it didn't really look like a house. At the front there was a huge sign that said ' Kurosaki Clinic'. Rukia looked really confused and Ichigo noticed her face. " Oh yeah, my father owns a clinic which is combined with our house that's why it looks like a clinic."  Rukia understood but also had a slight relief. "Phew, I thought Ichigo was a rogue psychiatric patient who escaped some hospital."  She thought to her self trying to not burst into laughter. Ichigo then was going to tell Rukia the plan to sneak her in the house. Rukia followed ichigo to another side of the house and Ichigo then pointed up to a window. " That window is my bedroom window." Ichigo then pointed to along steel pipe leading up to roof gutter. " So this going to be a bit difficult but your gonna have climb the pipe in an order to reach my room.." Rukia just looked at him with great annoyance before screaming in his ear. " DUMBASS! DO YOU THINK I'M SOME PARKOUR NINJA WARRIOR. THAT PIPE IS SO DAMN SLIPPERY. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM ME YOU ORANGE-HAIRED OAF!!??" It didn't take long before Ichigo could retort back. " OH I'M THE DUMBASS HERE, YOUR A DANG SHINIGAMI OR WHATEVER NONSENSE. YOU HAVE SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT YOUR RACE, YET YOU CAN'T CLIMB A DAMN RUSTY OLD WATER PIPE??!!" Rukia then huffed and made an angry pouting face while ichigo just crossed his arms with a vein of anger on his forehead.
