Kazui Kurosaki, a 17 year old in Karakura High, is not as normal as a regular high school student. Like his father Ichigo, he is a Substitute Soul Reaper who possesses incredible power. Read the story about the new Substitute Soul Reaper trying to e...
Huh, that was strange. I bet it's just my classmate who just happened to know my name. It's definitely not my childhood friend who is a Soul Reaper that slices monstrous things called Hollows for a living.
This is what I would have told you if you were a regular human being.
"ICHIKA???", I yelped as I unintentionally sprinted towards her.
You see, the momentum in which I gathered while I was running was up to the point where I couldn't stop. And the only thing that could stop it was another moving object, and well.... you see where I'm going.
I crashed towards her, and we went tumbling down the road together until we stopped when we hit a tree.
"Owwwww", Ichika groans as she rubs the back of her head with her hand, her long red hair tangling in between her finger. "Kazui, you idiot, why didn't you stop running?!"
"Hey, it's not my fault that you popped up out of nowhere, Ichika!", I replied back while taking deep breaths, but then I smiled, "But it is nice to see you, you know? You don't come by often".
(For those who don't know, Ichika Abarai is the daughter of Renji and Rukia, who are together after the events of Thousand Year Blood War as shown in the Howl from the Jaws of Hell arc Special One-shot)
Ichika blushes furiously and shakes her head, "It's not like I came for you, you know?!"
"Yeah yeah, what did you come here for anyway?
Ichika's blush fades away and she stood back up, a proud confident grin displayed on her face, "I got assigned to defeat a Hollow in Karakura Town!"
"Aren't you too young for that?"
"Shut up! You're the same age as me, remember?"
"Alright. But still doesn't explain why you're wearing the exact same school uniform as me"
"W-well my mother told me that I needed a cover so that I can stay in the World of the Living! And she did the same thing when she lived with your dad!"
"Oh yeah, dad did say something about that..."
We both stayed there for a second before a sudden realisation hit me. I was late to school.
"Look, we need to hurry up before we get into trouble. Both of us are already late to school and if we don't make it........we'll get into more trouble"
Ichika sighed, but then smirked and said, "Race you there", before sprinting off.
I groaned as I caught my breath and dashed after her.
We both were running across town before we finally reached Karakura High. Ichika and I plopped down onto the floor and we both lay there to rest. If it weren't for a certain teacher, we would've been laying there forever.
"Hey, you two. What are you doing there laying on the floor. Oh, it's Kazui! And you also found the new girl as well!" said Ochi-sensei.

"Oh yeah, haha. I heard about there being a new student, so I took the initiative to find her"
"Ah, what a good student you are. You are much better than your father. He really had bad attendance and always looked grumpy", Ochi-sensei cheerfully stated.
If she only knew what my dad did as a part-time.
"Well, uh, Ichika. Why don't I lead you to the classroom now. We're kinda late so we need to hurry", I say while holding out a hand for her to take.
Ichika looked at my hand and took it, letting me help her up off of the floor.
Meanwhile, Ochi-sensei was watching us with a sneaky grin on her face, "Ooooh, do I sense a little bit of chemistry between the two of you already~?
Without any hesitation, Ichika and I both exclaimed in sync, "NO YOU DON'T"
"Alright, you better hurry and follow me to get to class, or else...." Ochi-sensei smiled at us while holding her clipboard threateningly.
As we both calmed down, we looked at each other while exchanging messages with just eye contact. We would talk about this situation later.
Ichika let go of my hand and we both followed our teacher to class 3-1.
