Demigod Soul Reaper

By Ambersage Champlin

Intro:

Nico di Angelo decided that enough was enough he was moving completely away from Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter, and he was never going back. Japan seemed nice enough. He decided that Karakura Town was the perfect place. Since Nico was only seventeen he would have to go to Karakura High School. When he starts seeing spirits and people with Zanpakuto's (Yes he knows what they are, he isn't stupid) going around and killing big weird looking spirits and stamping regular spirits on the forehead with their Zanpakuto's Nico knows that this is no ordinary place. Plus the fact that only he seems able to see the people with the Zanpakuto's. Well at least Percy and Jason aren't here.

Chapter one: New places, new friends, and new recruits (Nico P.O.V.)

Finally I was free of Percy and Jason. I don't think I could've been there another second without completely freaking out. Percy was going to college with Annabeth in New Rome and I'm sure Jason and Piper will follow. I don't know why I went here, but I somehow picked up their Japanese. I was in a small town called Karakura Town. I would be attending the high school also named Karakura. I got my uniform the next day I arrived right before school. It was a white short sleeved button down with gray pants and a gray jacket to match. The shoes were a plain old brown. I guess it beat the bright orange T-shirts from camp Half-Blood. I got dressed and wondered what everyone at the camps were doing. Had they noticed I was gone? Were they looking for me? I shook my head probably not.

On my walk to school I was surprised to see so many spirits roaming around freely. At one point I thought I had seen an orange spiky haired boy with a Zanpakuto, yeah I know what they are, slicing through a monster with a skull looking thing for a head the size of Olympus. It must have had been my imagination, well that's what I thought until I saw the same orange spiky haired boy at school. He was in all of my classes, and I wanted to ask him but I knew better. It wasn't until lunch that he spoke to me.

"Hey you're that new kid right?" I nodded and hoped he hadn't seen me staring at him and trying to figure out what had went on this morning. "Want to eat lunch with us?" behind him I heard someone yell. The guy looked like sitting with me was the last thing he would ever want to do. "Oh, pay no attention to Keigo Asano he isn't that way once he gets to know you." I nodded and followed him to a spot where a group of guys and one girl were waiting.

"Hey Ichigo, who's the new kid?" The girl asked. She had short black hair and wasn't any taller than me. I brushed past her and got a weird vibe of death come off of her. I also felt the slight sensation I got when a spirit was near.

"Hey yeah I never got your name, I'm Ichigo Kurosaki by the way. And Little Miss Sunshine is" he was cut off by the girl.

"Rukia Kuchiki," she said. I still felt that jolt of energy that I got from her. Rukia gave Ichigo a very stern look. A tall figure loomed over me and he seemed to take up the whole sun. I looked up to him and it was like trying to look Frank in the eye.

"I'm Yasatora Sado, but everyone calls me Chad." He held out a massive had and I shook it questionably. The last guy that was there was a tall, but not as tall as Chad, guy with black hair tucked behind an ear and he wore glasses. They reminded me of Jason and his new glasses he bought.

"My name is," He hesitated for a minute looking at me and a look of surprise crossed his face. He finally continued. "Uryū Ishida," he went back to his meal.

"Well I'm Nico di Angelo," I said looking at everyone. They nodded and muttered nice to meet yous. Halfway through lunch I had a weird feeling, one that I got when summoning a zombie or spirit. I wondered what could be happening.

P.O.V. Ichigo

Rukia told me that her soul reaper senses were jammed like the first time she had met me. I felt it too, but not as strong as she did. I noticed Uryū gave Nico a weird look. He must have felt it too, and Chad, did he feel it? I couldn't worry about that because a while after eating Rukia got an alert from the soul society about a hollow. I noticed Nico looked up and around. Had he sensed the hollow even before Rukia got her alert? I thought it must have had been a misunderstanding he didn't look like a soul reaper. I would have to see what color his spirit ribbon was just to make sure, but not here and not until that hollow was stopped.

Rukia and I excused ourselves from lunch and we began to follow the signal of the hollow. We had put Kon in my body to fool Keigo and Nico. It wasn't long until we found the hollow, and Nico was there trying to fight it.

"Can he see that hollow?" Rukia sounded confused. Then Nico turned and looked at us, straight at us. He could not only see the hollow but he could see Rukia and me as well. "Ichigo he's gonna get himself killed, help him." she snapped. The hollow didn't even seem to notice us, maybe he was locked on Nico's spirit energy. I decided that no matter what I needed to help Nico.

Nico's P.O.V.

I didn't know what it was but it was big, and evil. I've faced uglier and bigger before. I noticed Rukia and Ichigo show up. He was wearing that outfit again. I tried to keep my whole attention on the creature in front of me. I decided to call upon some of my friends. It's been awhile since I had to. Soon enough the ground broke and gray zombies popped up and bowed to me. I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Ichigo was gaping at me, along with Rukia. The creature chomped my zombies' right up. I couldn't believe it.

"Mm." the creature said. "If you taste as good as your spirit friends then I picked the right soul." I felt my hands begin to shake, then followed my whole body. I was stuck in Tartarus again and facing my worst fears, I was a little kid again, hearing that my sister was gone. I expected the creature to have ripped my to pieces but something stopped it. I opened my eyes to see Ichigo standing in front of me, and with the huge creature's maw clamped onto his right shoulder.

"Get out of here Nico." He barked at me. I wasn't going to run or go, I was going to fight. I pulled Ichigo away and he growled at me. I looked down at his huge zanpakuto, and then glanced at my Stygian Iron sword at my side. "You really want to help me?" Ichigo said then coughed up some blood. I felt bad, this was all my fault I thought. I nodded once to him and he took out his zanpakuto and told me what had to be done.

"Wont that kill me though?" I figured being skewered by a zanpakuto would kill me, but Ichigo assured me it wouldn't. I had a few seconds of insane courage and took the end of his long blade. I let out a small yelp as it punctured my body and filled me up with energy I hadn't felt before. I looked down and saw that I was downing a black kimono, and where my sword used to be was now a long black zanpakuto. It didn't take me long to know that my stygian iron sword had been transformed with me. Rukia ran over and tended to Ichigo, I unsheathed my sword and decided that I would try again at killing this creature.

I was lucky the second time around. If I hadn't of had these extra powers I probably wouldn't have survived. I walked back over to Ichigo and Rukia. They both looked at me in awe. I nodded to them and walked back to the school.

Ichigo's P.O.V.

I couldn't believe it. This new kid could see us and the hollow, and to make the matters weirder he was now a substitute soul reaper like me. Rukia couldn't believe it either, and I wanted answers about how he could see us, but Rukia had other things in mind.

The next day at school we walked over to Nico at lunch again and took him somewhere private to talk. "Nico, I need to know how you saw us." I said bluntly still not liking Rukia's plan.

"I've always been able to see ghosts and stuff, I'm a child of the Greek God Hades. He controls the Underworld and stuff." Nico said straight out as if he had said this many times before. "Now what was that creature that attacked yesterday?" Rukia took out her drawing pad. Oh great, I thought, more of her drawings. She drew the same picture that she showed me a long time ago, and was it just me or had her drawings gotten worse.

"You see?" Nico nodded and I could tell he was not going to laugh at her drawings, good move on his part. "Now, Rukia and I have a proposition for you." Nico nodded and sat on the ground he apparently knew that he was going to be there a while.

"Well, as I've explained Nico if you want to keep your soul reaper powers you will need to know how to control your powers." Nico agreed and listened intently. "Well you could train at the academy or there is Urahara Kisuke. He trained Ichigo and you wouldn't have to leave this town or miss school." Nico nodded again and stood up.

"Sign me up for this Urahara." I smiled and knew that Urahara was a good teacher for beginners. So was Yoruichi, but she was in the Soul Society at that moment.

"Good, he is always looking for new recruits," Rukia then walked away only leaving us. I looked at Nico and remembered how I felt when training, it was hard, and Nico didn't look like the kind of guy that could take that kind of training.

"I'll take you to his shop after school." Nico nodded again mumbled a thanks and left himself. Maybe he would be fine, he did have the same badass attitude as I did.
