Recovering what's lost

Chapter 1

In the many districts of Rukongai, in Soul Society, a soul that had lost her memory was lying on the grass on the outskirts of the town. The soul opened her eyes and examined her surroundings for the first time. The girl had waist length black hair with silver streaks in and the tips of her hair was silver. Her hair was straight but had curls at the end of her hair and bangs. She had bright blue eyes that seemed bottomless and penetrated your soul when you stared at them. She had a petite body and had a pale moon kissed shade of skin along with a pretty face. The girls' name was Minaro Airia, pronounced 'I-ria.' She was 4'4 and she was wearing a simple pink yukata with petals decorating it.

Where am I she thought. She started to feel hungry so she decided to walk into the town, to look for food.

In a separate dimension in an elaborately decorated and large room there was a throne. On that throne there was a man who looked around in his early forties with gray hair and piercing blue eyes with some wrinkles. He wore a royal blue kimono along with a katana held at his waist with a white obi. There was a woman who had the typical shinigami uniform on who looked like she was in her early thirties but she had an armband with the kanji of zero on. This woman was Kirio Hikifune, the captain of the twelfth division of the gotei thirteen; she had been recently recruited to the zero division but she was still handling her affairs in the gotei 13 so she would be making an official leave soon.

"Where is she? Where is Airia, Kirio?" The stranger asked her.

"Airia-sama was experimenting with some chemicals but an explosion occurred, she wasn't hurt because there were no traces of blood but she has disappeared."The woman who had now been identified as Kirio explained to him nervously.

"Is the seal still active on her then?"He asked her.

"Yes it is but we can't track it." She replied

"Well, Airia is strong so she should be able to take care of herself for now, until we find her." He was now nervous but slightly reassured.

With Airia

Hmm I think I'm lost Airia thought after walking for an hour and she still couldn't see the town. She was now in a deeper part of the forest after wandering for a while. The sun was shining brightly, at its highest point in the sky, showing it was around noon. The forest was filled with trees that were luscious and healthy.

A shrill scream echoed in the large, empty forest signifying a hollow was near. The masked lizard like monster appeared in front of Airia.

"What the hell is that?" Airia wondered aloud.

It then raised its claw and aimed to slash right through Airia. Airia screamed but managed to dodge by jumping to the side but the claw had managed to nick her hip causing a small wound to appear.

"What do I do?" Airia screamed. The hollow was getting closer and closer, Airia was stumbling now, getting really scared.

Don't be afraid child. A voice seemed to appear from nowhere.

"Who are you?" Airia said whilst still dodging the hollows' claws.

I am your zanpakuto, a manifestation of your soul. Just stay calm, relax and draw me out

Ok then, I'll try that, but first I have to get a far distance away Airia thought. She then ran back a further ten metres away from the hollow. Airia took deep breathes and tried to calm down, then a katana materialized in her hand. Airia quickly drew it out of the sword sheathe and aimed a slash at its mask whilst the hollow lunged at her. Airia landed a few metres behind the hollow with its mask shattering and the hollow disintegrating.

Gotei 13 at the same time

A hell butterfly sent to deliver an important message to the nibantai taichou, leader of the Onikitsukido (Covert Ops). The message was about a high level hollow appearance in the forest on the outskirts of Rukongai so Yoruichi Shihōin, the current captain, commanded her third seat of her squad to deal with it.

Urahara Kisuke, the lazy yet brilliant third seat, immediately set out to follow his captain's orders.

Kisuke's POV

Hmm I'm nearly there, wait what's that noise I thought to myself. I slowed down almost to a stop and I quietly slinked over to the area where the noise came from.

Who's that? She looks like she can handle herself but that's a high level hollow. Wait, is that her zanpakuto? She killed it? And she didn't even get hurt. I think I should take her back to the captain commander I thought to myself as I watched the show.

Normal POV

After Airia had finished the battle, she put her katana back in place. She examined it closely; It had a dark blue handle, a square silver tsuba and the sword sheathe was Dark purple with swirls decorating it. To her surprise it suddenly vanished into thin air, as if it had never been there in the first place. Airia noticed that there was a man watching her who was wearing the standard uniform of a shinigami.

"Who are you and what do you want?"Aria called out to the mysterious figure with nervous smile gracing her features.
