Rayne Says: PLEASE DON'T KILL ME FOR STARTING ANOTHER STORY!! I know I haven't updated Akatsuki Heartbreaker in forever, but I lost the written drafts for the next three chapters. I also know I haven't updated Reborn for a while, but I'm having writer's block. So here's a new series, however, it's a series of cross-over one shots involving Sakura and a character from a different anime show.

You can request couples from the following animes or mangas: Ouran High School Host Club (anime), Fruits Basket(anime), Fullmetal Alchemist (anime), Bleach, Vampire Knight (manga), and Death Note. Any couple is welcome (only heterosexual couples though). So here's chapter one!

Cherry Blossoms

ByakuyaXSakura

.:Sakura's P.O.V.:.

I had seen the first release of his zanpaktou during a training exercise as he was facing Lieutenant Abarai. At the mere mention of the sword's release a sudden shiver had passed down my spine. It was a shiver of longing, which at the moment I didn't understand.

Needless to say, he had defeated Lieutenant Abarai.

It had been an example of the training we were to be doing that day. Zanpaktou training was something that could be done alone, but blossomed with a partner. I already had a first release, although I rarely used it. My sword, Kurohime, was what I would call lovely. The blade of the sword wasn't silver like most; instead it was pure white. The guard was black with small pink gems encrusted in it. It was about a yard in length. I loved my sword.

I was paired with the eighth seat of our squad. His name was Yuta, and I despised him with all my being. Why? Because he kept making passes at me and almost raped me one night after too many drinks. He. Was. Going. To. Die.

"Hey Princess, don't worry, I'll go easy on you."

"Don't go easy on me just because I'm a girl," I said.

"I wouldn't want to ruin your pretty face," he answered.

"Let's make a bet."

"Oh?"

"If I win, you'll quit flirting with me."

"And I get a kiss if I win."

I sighed but said, "Fine."

We shook hands and quickly distanced ourselves from each other. He foolishly snatched his zanpaktou out of the sheath and ran toward me. I sidestepped him, holding my foot out, and he tripped. Muttering curses under his breath, he stood up, and threw a fist at my face. I caught it and twisted it easily. It was simple for me to enhance my strength using my reiatsu. I was about to break his arm when Yuta's elbow landed a painful hit to my gut. All of the breath came out of my lungs and Yuta used this opportunity to hit my knees. I collapsed on the ground, and Yuta grabbed a fistful of my long, pink hair.

"Wanna give up now?"

"Never."

I unsheathed my zanpaktou and sliced through the long strands of hair easily. Vaguely I wondered why no one was stopping our fight, because it was obviously no longer a simple spar, but a full out battle to the death? My answer to my thoughts was the fact that every single person in our squad was staring at us. I wanted to growl at them, but I was distracted by Yuta's sword coming dangerously close to my arm. I blocked his attack with Kurohime, and counterattacked. We continued this dangerous dance of death for several minutes, neither of us landing a single hit.

And I was getting tired and cranky. A cranky Sakura is someone you do NOT want to be fighting, because in the end you will most likely end up missing a limb.

I backed away from Yuta, sick and tired of this "spar". I held Kurohime out in front of me and said, " Freeze, Kurohime. Koori Hana!"

My sword disintegrated into tiny pieces that resembled flower petals and swiftly moved toward Yuta. He panicked and started swinging his sword around like a mad man. It did no good because the petals surrounded him, and covered every inch of his skin. They hardened and stuck to his skin. His movements stopped completely after they hardened, because he was frozen alive. I moved toward him, slowly, because I was in no hurry. I lifted the hilt of my sword to his neck and said; "I win."

The hardened petals, which were actually ice, melted from his body, and returned to the sword. Once Kurohime had fully reformed, I re-sheathed the sword, and walked away from Yuta. I dully noted the sound of feet grinding on the ground, but didn't think anything of it.

"I'll kill you, bitch!"

I turned around, almost as in slow motion, to see Yuta running toward me with his zanpaktou aimed for my heart. I didn't have time to move or time to take out my own sword. I was going to die. Damn.

A sudden breeze caught my attention and my eyes widened to find someone blocking Yuta's sword with their own. I could only stare at their back in amazement. I knew the technique they had used, but I had never seen it before. Someone had used flash step to save me. But why would they save me? Why would he save me?

"You are out of place. Abarai restrain him."

"Yes, sir," Lieutenant Abarai answered.

Seconds later, Yuta was cuffed with special reiatsu restraining handcuffs. All the while he was screaming curses at me, but I was still in shock. I turned around, only to take notice that my savior was walking away. I quickly stood up and ran after him.

"Excuse me, sir. I just wanted to thank you for saving me. Thank you!" I said.

"Be more careful next time," he said, turning away.

"Yes sir."

"I wouldn't want you getting hurt after all," he said quietly.

What?

"S-Sir?"

"You're dismissed, Haruno-san."

"Yes, sir."

I walked away, but not without gazing back at the raven locks of hair that belonged to my savior. "Thank you so much," I murmured.

… That was the day that I fell in love with the Captain of Squad Six, Kuchiki Byakuya.

Yeah, not very fluffish, but Byakuya is an ice cube. I made him a little OC, but I had to. I thought they make a good couple because, come on, the name of Byakuya's zanpaktou is Senbonzakura, which means "A Thousand Cherry Blossoms."

Other Info:

Kurohime: "Black Princess"

Koori Hana: "Ice Flower"

Yeah, I suck at naming things. Well, suggest couples or I'll just go and do my own!
