What have I become? *Bleach fanfic*

Chapter 8: Found my body! But why is Reji here?

Kojiro's POV

As  Reji stood before the gate that lead to the Soul society, I clenched my right fist, remembering what he used to do to me as a child.

*Flashback*

The slums of the Soul Society, the first place that every soul that has passed on, arrives to. There are many of us still living here. But that isn't what I'm focusing on.

"After him!" A young boy with shoulder length hair yelled out. "Get the freak! Kill him!" More voices called out after another young boy, running for his dear life.

"Stay away from me!" he called out, panting.

The young boy that is being chased has long black hair that reaches his back, silver eyes, and lightly tanned skin. The reason why they label him as freak, is because he has special abilities, that sometimes, get out of hand.

That boy is me, Kojiro.

"Give back what you stole! Or we'll have to chop those arms off!" Another man called out.

I turned to the corner and stopped. Dead end.

I turned around, while backing up to the wall. As they came closer and closer, I became more afraid. Next was unbelievable. Someone jumped in front of me, grabbed a hold of me, and jumped to the top of the wall. And then, the voice said "Don't worry, you're safe now." A woman's voice. She put me down. I backed away. "My mom told me to never talk to stangers..." I said, backing away.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." She then held out a hand towards me. I looked at my bio-mechanical hand that a doctor made for me, and held her hand.

"See? Like I said, I won't hurt you. Now. What's going on between you and those thugs down there?" She said as she sat down and pointed to the guys that chased me.

I then, reached into my pocket, and took out an amulet. It was the size of a person's palm, and was golden. There were 8 different slots, to put small jewels in.

"I stole this back from the boy with red hair. He took it from me when I was sleeping, and well,..."

I looked down at the crowd. "They said that they'll kill me... and..." Tears streaked my cheeks, before they fell to the ground. "My mother, before she died, giving birth to my sister....... gave this to me.... it's.. it's very precious to me... it's all I have left of my family..." Next, I fell to my knees, sobbing.

The woman held me in her arms."There, there, it's okay. Listen."

I looked up at her face.

Dark purple hair, tanned skin, hazel eyes, and a befriending smile.

"My name is Yoruichi Shihouin." she asked me "What's your name?"

I wiped my eyes, and said "Kojiro Kurasaki.It's nice to meet you, Yoruichi." I then hugged her tightly.

"You remind of my mom.." I said, blushing.

"I have an idea, why don't I take you to see Unahona? I bet she'll be able to take you in." She said as she put me on her back. "Is she nice as you?" I asked, curiously. "She can be." She said, smirking. She then jumped towards the white walls that surrounded the main hub of the Soul Society.

After a few minutes, we arrived at a huge gate, that lead us in.

"What are you doing with that child, Yoruichi?" A guard holding a spear asked, demandingly.

"That is my business. Now, let us through, unless you want to go home in pieces." She said as she got closer to the guard.

"Okay, okay! Let her through!" The other guards opened the massive gates, letting us through.

'You must be pretty tough, to threaten that guard like that."

"Yeah, I am pretty tough." She flexed her left arm, showing she had muscular strength.

"Okay, I believe you."

She lead us through the many streets of this place. By the time we reached Unohana's place, the sun was setting.

"Wait." I said jumping off her back. I found a spot on the grass, so I could watch the sun set.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Yoruichi asked.

"Yeah..." I said, breath-taken from the sunset.

We sat for at least 10 minutes, before the fully set. Showing that is was evening time.

"Come on." She said, grabbing my hand and leading me to a house behind us. Yoruichi knocked on the door. Then, I heard shuffling, the door clicking, and opening.

A woman with blue eyes, peach skin, and black hair in a braid that reaches her hips opens the door.

"Hello, Yoruichi." The woman said, smiling.

"Hello, Unohana." She smiled back. "This is Kojiro Kurasaki. Go on." She said, lightly pushing me.

"Um, hello... Unohana." I said, shaking her hand.

"What brings you both here?" She asked, calmly.

"Oh, I was actually wondering if you could take care of Kojiro for me. Um... is that alright with you?" She said, scratching her head.

"I'd love to, Yoruichi." She smiled again.

*End of flashback*

Kojiro's POV

If it wasn't for Reji. I wouldn't have met Yoruichi, or Unohana, or Kita....

"I'll be your escort, men." Reji said to the men carrying the stretcher.

They'll be leaving for Soul Society. I'll follow them.
