I'm an ordinary 15-year-old boy who happens to be able to see ghosts. My fate took an extraordinary turn when I met Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper who showed up at my house on the trail of a Hollow, a malevolent lost soul. Drawn to my high level of spiritual energy, the Hollow attacked me and my family, and Rukia stepped in to help, but is injured and unable to fight. As a last resort Rukia decided to transfer a part of her Soul Reaper powers to me!
