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...
Walking down the halls of Karakura High School, I could see that Ichika was a bit fidgety as she walked beside me.
"You look a bit nervous, you alright?", I whispered.
She jumped slightly, but then took deep breaths and answered back quietly, "Of course I am! What do you take me for? A jumpy high school girl?"
"Yes, yes I do"
She punched my arm so hard that it felt as if my sensei was the one who hit me. I haven't felt that pain since my last training session. Guess Soul Reapers do have a bit of strength even in a gigai.
We both arrived at class 3-1. Our teacher asked Ichika to the front while I walked down to my seat next to the window. I held out two thumbs up at her as she began to introduce herself.
"My name is Ichika Abarai! I will now be a part of this class", she bowed, "Please treat me well"
The whole class clapped along with me. Some boys were eyeing her and girls were calling on her to be their friend. I smiled, knowing that she was easily going to be accepted with the rest of the students.
Class began and everyone paid attention to the lesson. Personally, I knew the basics so that was enough for me. I got passing grades so there was nothing to worry about at all. Meanwhile, Ichika looked like she was struggling a little with the subject; scratching her head as she wrote down notes from the lesson. When I smirked at her lesser ability to learn, she gave me a death stare which said 'Do that again, and I will strike you down'.
After class ended, my friend Hajime Asano walked up to me and sat across my table. Hajime's dad, Keigo, was also great friends with my dad so it was only natural that we became friends as well. They also knew the secret about us being Soul Reapers as well.
"So, what businesses do Soul Reapers have to do in Karakura High?", asked Hajime slyly, "If you don't mind, I'll take Ichika for myself-"
Another friend of mine appeared as well and slapped the back of his head, then went back on his phone, "Mr. Asano, you really don't need to say such things during school times, it is very inappropriate"
"Hey! Why'd you switch up on the honorifics! Just call me by my first name, no need to be formal", complained Hajime.

I laughed at the two of them. Another one of my good friends, Kazuya Kojima is also related to our ties to Soul Reapers due to his dad knowing my dad. Yeah, I have a lot of friends, I know.
Suddenly, I heard a loud buzzing noise from my pocket. I pulled out my Combat Pass and saw its eyes flashing. Crap, really? A Hollow at this time?
I looked sideway to Ichika who was talking to a group of girls surrounding her. She made eye contact with me, nodded, and excused herself from the group and ran away. Me having no choice to follow her, I also excused myself from Kazuya and Hajime and sprinted after her.
"You think its got something to do with your mission?"
Ichika turned back at me, "Maybe, we'll just have to check it out then. If it does have something to do with what mom was trying to find, then we have to go quickly"
We turned a corner into an alleyway and stopped so that Ichika could get out of her gigai. She popped a Gikongan, a Substitute Soul pill, and her spiritual form jumped out of her body. She wore a black Shihakusho and carried a Zanpakuto with a guard shaped like a small lightning bolt.
"Ha, I'll do you one better"
My Shihakusho formed over my normal clothes, the black cloth swirling around my body and covering my school uniform but left my hoodie on. A Zanpakuto with a Manji symbol as my cross guard appeared behind my back.
