Around her were buildings that were different from where she lived. She walked around in silence, but then she hears a terrifying shriek from behind. She stands still unable to move when she hears the same shriek. Finally she took a deep breath and turned around. Her eyes grew wide as she stood frozen solid by what she was seeing. A monster towering over her, its eyes red as blood, its face covered with a sort of mask. It opened its mouth and in it was a red glow as it grew larger and larger. She stood there unable to run or evade when finally the monster shoots out a gigantic blast towards her.

Screaming Sai quickly sat up gasping for air with cold sweat dripping down her face. She took a quick deep breathe in and finally started to breathe normally.

"That dream what was it?" Sai asked herself.

For a while now Sai has been having the same dreams played over and over whenever she sleeps and for some reason they won't go away.

"Hey Sai wake up, we have to get to school!" her sister shouted.

"I'm coming Xion!" Sai shouted back as she got out of bed and started getting dressed. She then ran down the stairs in her uniform. She wore a white buttoned uniform shirt with a tang top underneath and a blue skirt that went down above her knees.

"Yo, rise and shine Sai, here's your lunch!" Marie shouted as she handed Sai her lunch box, but Sai shook her head, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, thanks anyway Marie," Sai placed her skates on and skated out the door towards her school. Today was the last day of school and to Xion and other kids it would be the greatest day ever, but that's not the case for Sai. Today was the anniversary of Sai's mother's disappearance. When Sai was five years old her mother left Sai by the river when it was time for her to go to work, but that night she never came back. Since then Sai's dreams became nightmares. Sai had long black hair that reached all the way down to her back. She had blue hazel cold eyes. Her body was slim and she was atleast five feet tall. By the time she arrived at school the bell rang. She quickly ran up the stairs to her classroom. At the end of the day the students were in the court yard playing and laughing now that school was finally over. Sai was sitting against the fence with her knees up and her drawing journal on her knees. She was drawing a picture of her mother and how she remembered her. Just then at the corner of her eye she saw a bunch of girls coming towards her. Closing her journal she placed it in her backpack as she stood up and wiped the dirt off her skirt. She looked straight at the group of girls who were also holding scissors. The girl in the middle was a girl with black short shoulder length hair she was basically the leader.

"Terri,"

"Well, well if it isn't Sai the child, guess what me and my girls have been waitin all year to cut that long flowing hair of yours and now it's time. Girls grab her," Terri ordered.

Then at least three girls surrounded Sai as one of them grabbed her left arm and one of them grabbed her right arm. The third girl put her arms around her waist keeping her from moving as Terri stepped forward. Sai struggled to break free, but she couldn't handle all three of them. But then rage started to build up in her body, but instead of heat it became cold as ice. She looked up at Terri, her bangs covering her right eye when suddenly they turned into an icy blue color as her fist tighten. Steadily she pressed her feet down to the ground and with her strength pushed up with force as she jumped up and flipped. The other three ended up falling backwards hitting the dirt floor as their grip on Sai released. Now free Sai ran through the crowd of students and away from the school. Sai continued running until she stopped by the banks of the river as her eyes returned to normal as she breathed heavily.

"What….in the world happened to me?" Sai asked herself when she took a look around her and realized where she was. "Things just keep getting worse for me,"

There was only one reason why she would end up here near the banks of the river. This was the last place she ever saw her mom, the day of her disappearance. It all happened here, the very same place, standing in the same spot.

Her mom was getting ready to leave for work after taking her daughter to the river.

"Okay, Sai you can get to school from here," her mother said placing on Sai's hoody. "Be good also I might come home late so watch after your big sister even she can get into trouble," she laughed as she gave Sai one last hug as she turned to walk off.

Ever since that day Sai would have nightmares once every month or week maybe even twice. She stood there shaking, clutching her fists as a tear ran down her face. It's been 10 years without her mother and back then it was horrible and it still is now only it haunts her every night. Too caught up in her emotional past Sai hadn't noticed a shadow sneaking up on her from behind. All of a sudden she heard a loud terrifying shriek. Quickly she turned and became face to face with a gigantic monster. It was black and large, its face had some sort of mask, it's eyes were red and glowing. She stared wide eyed at the beast, but not for long as she turned and started running to who knows where. She ran down the street, her hair blowing back behind her. As she ran people were ducking out of the way which to her seemed really confusing.

'What is wrong with these people can't they see that thing?' as she made a quick, sharp turn near a shop. Just then she was hit hard at her back causing her to crash into the store. Slowly she stood up coughing and scared out of her mind. Turning around, the creature that attacked her ended up getting crushed by a bigger white foot. She looked up and became even more afraid and uncomfortable. This creature was at least 10 stories high or no higher than that! Except it's face was a little different from the other one. It had a long nose and a wide mouth. Suddenly its mouth opened wide as a red glow appeared. Sai froze in her position unable to move and unable to breathe. She stared at it not taking her eyes off of it as it grew wider and bigger. Finally the red glow shot out as a big blast heading straight towards her at rapid speed. She closed her eyes and waited for her life to be melted away, but nothing happened. Opening her eyes she saw a man standing in front of her wearing a kimono and a stripped robe. He had a hat on his head covering some of his blonde hair. He was holding a sword in his hand blocking the attack as is it was nothing.

"Yoruichi take her out of here under the shop," he shouted. Then a brown skinned, purple haired woman appeared out of nowhere as she took Sai in her arms and ran in the shop.

"Wait, where are you taking me?"

"Just shut up and you'll be fine!" the woman named Yoruichi shouted. After that Sai thought it was best to just keep her mouth shut for now. Under the shop was like a sort of rocky terrain, but farther down was a black potal.

"W….wha…what is that? Sai stuttered. Yoruichi didn't reply when she jumped straight into portal. When she landed her feet were on these blue light looking tiles. She kept running until Sai was able to see a light at the end of the tunnel. When they got closer Sai looked down to see a village, but with a few palaces.

"This is as far as I can go," Yoruichi lifted Sai up and aimed at a palace that was in the center of the place.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"Sorry, but there's no other way," Yoruichi smiled.

"But I'm injured all over!" Sai complained.

"Don't worry, now…." She paused then threw Sai as hard as she could, "Good luck!"

Sai screamed on her way down towards the place. As she got closer she put her arms in front of her protecting her face. Then she crashed through the walls with force and ended up rolling until she hit the wall rather hard. Sitting up slowly she pulled out a piece of wood that was stuck in her arm. Breathing heavily Sai looked up and saw an old man dressed in a black kimono with a robe that had the number one on it, sitting at his desk. In front of the desk was a kid with white spike hair with the same clothing, but his robe had the number ten.

"Well, what do we have here?" the old man said as he stood up holding his wooden cane.

"Who are you?" the whit haired boy asked. Sai stood up in silence unable to speak due to exhaustion. She pushed her bangs back behind her ears to look at them clearly, but she was still unable to see clearly due to the blood dripping down her face. Looking at them she felt as if she's seen them before.

"First I want to know where I am," Sai declared.

"This is the soul society," the old man replied.

Sai gasped as her eyes grew wide at the man's reply. That name the soul society it was a name from her one of her dreams. Both of them watched her reaction when all of a sudden pain just burst in her side. It appears that she was stabbed in her side when she crashed into the shop. The pain was unbearable and for her to handle. Her throat felt heated as she felt something going up. All was silent when she started gagging and blood just came out her mouth. Her vision blurred with colors swirling around in her eyes until finally she passed out.

Sai awoke later in a some sort of infirmary. Surrounding her were beds and IVS including one attached to her arm. Sai blinked a few times as she slowly and carefully sat up.

"You're finally awake," a voice said from beside her. She turned and saw the kid from earlier.

"You're that kid from earlier," Sai said.

"Alright first of all I am not a kid! Second of all my name is Toshiro Hitsugaya captain of squad 10,"

"A captain?" Sai asked confused. 'short captain to be exact' she thought.

"That's right, allow me to explain the soul society is separated into many groups or districts, but you'll learn more about that later. The location you're at now is in the infirmary of the thirteen court guard squads. In it are separate divisions, there are 13 total. I'm the captain of the third division and the old man you saw earlier is the head captain,"

"The old man ? no way….." Sai couldn't believe what she was hearing besides the fact that an old man with a wooden stick and long beard is a captain and the fact that he is at a level of his own!

"Hey since you guys are captains don't you guys have lieutenants?" Sai asked when all of a sudden a woman with orange hair barged into the room.

"Captain there you are, I've been looking all over for you!" she shouted when she noticed Sai sitting on the bed.

"Who's this?"

Toshiro sighed, "To be honest I don't know her name, which brings me back to the point. What is your name?"

"My name is Sai,"

"Sai what?" the woman asked.

"I don't have a last name, it's just Sai,"

"Oh well nice to meet you. My name is Rangiku Motsumoto, and I am the lieutenantof squad 10," Rangiku said cheerfully.

"Pleasure to meet you," Sai said holding out her hand, but instead of a hand shake Rangiku just completely grabbed Sai into a giant bear hug.

"You are so cute!"

"Let go Rangiku can't you see she's injured?" Toshiro shouted.

"Oh yeah," finally letting her go Rangiku looked at her up and down, watching her quiver in pain.

"Hey how'd you get those injuries anyway?"

Sai looked up at them and then looked away silently. She wasn't the type to open up to others, but in this situation it couldn't hurt to explain everything right? She sighed as she begun to explain every detail of what had occurred in her life and what had happened before she came here.

"Wait you said there was a giant monster with glowing red eyes and it created a red glowing blast,"

"Yeah that's right,"

Rangiku and Toshiro both looked at each other before looking back at Sai. Sai didn't quite know what was going on, but she knew that whatever that attacked her was extremely dangerous and that it could've killed her.

"That creature you saw was a hollow, but it's hollow that's created from eating other hollows instead of human souls. Those creatures are known as a Menos Grande. Mostly Menos intend to travel in a group and not many appear in the world of the living. If they do appear it's most likely that they were attracted by a powerful spiritual pressure or by another force," Toshiro explained.

"But captain how could it have been attracted to her?" Rangiku asked. Toshiro looked at his lieutenant incredulity and shook his head.

"We will soon find out," a voice said from behind them. All three of them turned to see the head captain standing still looking at them.

"Head captain Yamamoto," Toshiro said.

"All of you meet me outside in five minutes," he then left the room.

"What was that all about?" Sai wondered when suddenly her clothes ended up landing on her lap. She looked up and saw Toshiro leaving the room.

"Hurry up and get dressed,"

Sai sighed she really didn't understand his stupid attitude. After getting dressed she went outside to find the head captain along with Toshiro and Rangiku waiting for her.

"Sai come here," the head captain said. Sai hesitated at first ,but slowly she walked towards him.

"I want you to stand in the center over there," he pointed to the center in front of the infirmary. Doing as she's told Sai stood in the center.

"Now close your eyes," Sai did as she was told.

'Release the Menos Gande!"

Sai let out a small gasp and opened her eyes to see the giant hollow in front of her. She stood there wide eyed releasing quivering breaths. This was something she hadn't expected to happen.

"Head captain it's too dangerous!" Toshiro shouted.

"No need to worry, this is only a test to see how she attracted that other Menos,"

Sai remained still when she noticed it taking a step forward. Without thinking Sai quickly flipped out of the way landing on her feet. Again it stepped forward, this time she rolled out of the way causing a few bruises on her arms near her wounds. Her heart was beating rapidly as she breathed heavily as if she was gonna pass out.

"Captain her wounds opened!" Rangiku shouted. Toshiro looked back at Sai and soon saw the blood that lay on the floor.

"Damn!"

Sai kept her eyes on the huge hollow, but she kept looking back at the others who were looking at her wounds. At first she wasn't sure what they were looking at until it hit her literally. At her side blood completely squirted out of her body like crazy. Her wounds have finally opened.

'Damn, just what are they trying to do?' she wondered when she noticed the mouth opening wide. In it a red light slowly growing bigger and bigger. Sai was scared out of her mind, this was exactly what happened to her at her home town. For some reason she couldn't take her eyes off of the bright red beam.

"Sai get out of the way!" Toshiro shouted.

Sai couldn't hear him, couldn't look at him, couldn't think or breathe.

'Help me!" she thought, ' Marie, Xion, …..mom. Somebody, anybody!'

Her body filled with fear, coldness and loneliness. The beam shot out heading towards her with a direct hit. Rangiku screamed out her name, but didn't get a response the same with Toshiro. Sai was lost in the smoke. Suddenly the air temperature dropped as it became cold and dark as a full moon appeared in the night sky. All of a sudden a tornado of icicle blades swarmed around Sai. A howl echoes throughout the area as her spiritual pressure went out of control.

"What the-" Toshiro began as he felt the spiritual pressure around him, "Is that Sai?"

Just then the smoke disappeared and standing in the tornado was Sai.

"Howl at the moonlit sky," her eyes turned into an icy color, "Hanayuki!"

In her hand was a sword of beautiful light as it shined. She slid her hand on the blade, steam rising forming a figure of a white wolf. Using her strength Sai attacked the hollow freezing it in place as it shattered into a million pieces. She stood there with no emotion and blood dripping from her hands and wounds.

"I'll leave her to you two," the head captain then disappeared. Toshiro and Rangiku ran up to Sai to see if she was alright. Rangiku was so emotional she hugged Sai in a very tight hug.

"Oh my god I'm glad you're alright!"

"We thought you had took a direct hit that would've killed you," Toshiro added.

"Rangiku let go of me please,"

"Oh yeah sorry. I'm just glad you're alright,"

"Yeah… so am I," Sai smiled when she began to fall, but Toshiro acted in time in order to catch her body before she hit the ground.

"Sai!" yelled Rangiku.

"Shh, you have to remember she was forced to release her spiritual pressure that she kept inside and her tie with her zanpaktou, she needs to rest,"

"Yes sir, but her spiritual pressure it's as a high as a captains,"

"I'm aware of that, but she needs to be trained in order to control her spiritual pressure. She needs to put her best effort if she intends to become a soulreaper and become a captain. In my opinion Sai will succed."

Wow it took me forever to get this done, but it is finished. I hope you guys enjoyed it.
