The war between Soul Reapers and the Arrancar, or Akatsuki, had ended with the 'death' of Orochimaru, who was defeated by Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he had sacrificed himself to try to insure the evil man's death. A couple of the Arrancar soldiers were killed but most had escaped when they had learned of their Commanders weaken state. Even with the end result hollows still roamed free and although injured and still grieving over the fallen, many Reapers continued to fight trying to hold off the hollows until the more powerful ranks arrived. But even after wrapping up the higher ranking reapers couldn't help but feel it was far from over!
The Soul Society was chaotic as the soul reapers fought off left over hollows! The hollows destroyed building after building, looking for souls to swallow! The surviving reapers were not only fighting hollows, but fatigue proved to be a difficult battle as well. But that wouldn't matter soon, for the 11th and 8th Squad Lieutenants Uchiha and Uzamaki had shown up a little late to the show.
Sasuke Uchiha, Lieutenant of the 11th squad and wielder of the zanpakuto by the name of Susanoo. Susanoo was a katana with a black sheath and a purple rope wrapped around the top with a dark purple hilt. He was a 6 foot tall, pale and incredible handsome man. His messy ink colored hair covering the left side of his face matched his inky eyes. His clothes were slightly torn, cuts, bruises, dried and not so dried blood covered his body, and he also looked worn down, although if someone were to ask he'd probably growl at them. Sasuke had lost his left arm during the battle and currently had a tourniquet tied above it, so yeah, he probably wasn't okay.
Naruto Uzamaki, Lieutenant of the 8th squad and owner of the zanpakuto named Kyuubi. Kyuubi was a katana with an orange sheath and what looked like scratches going along it, and deep red hilt. His 5'9'' tanned body was in the same condition except he was missing his right arm. Although he seemed to have a more positive look, even his ocean blue eyes were smiling!
"Wow! Check out that big one!" Naruto practically screamed, point towards the largest hollow towards the back that was as big as a 50 story building, eyes shining with excitement! "Hmn . . ." Sasuke looked uninterested but Naruto knew exactly how to get his attention. "Oh I know! Why don't we make a little bet?! Huh?"
Sasuke was still unamused as he surveyed the area, the younger reapers seem to be having trouble with the smaller ones, and he knew they didn't stand a chance against the biggest one. "Idiot, we don't have time for that. We better move before anyone else gets killed." Sasuke started to move but was stopped by Naruto, who had put his hand on his shoulder.
"If you win you I can get you alone time with Lieutenant Hyuuga. . ." This had the Uchiha flinching and turning to look at Naruto who had drawn out 'Hyuuga' as if it was the most prized possession he had while wriggling his eyebrows suggestively. Naruto smirked, now that Sasuke had taken the bait all he had to do was reel him in!
"It'll probably be you two just doing paperwork but it's better than nothing and I'll make sure no one interrupts you for a least two hours. I'll even keep Captain Sabaku away . . ." Singing this, Naruto was smiling widely as he saw Sasuke pondering over this.
Captain Gaara no Sabaku was captain of the 13th squad and held the zanpakuto Shukaku. He was also the youngest soul to become a captain. Shukaku was a katana with a tan sheath, black hilt and on the tip of the hilt was a red strapped with a cork tied at the end. Gaara was 5'8'' with blood red hair and pale skin. His eyes make him appear to have not slept in years, which some people say is true but that's just a rumor, and he has no eyebrows. The tattoo on his forehead says 'love' but he is anything but loving as a quiet and intimidating character. His reaper uniform was standard with a standard long sleave long captain's overcoat, but his was buttoned at the waist. But the thing that annoyed Sasuke the most was that he seemed to seek Lieutenant Hyuuga out as much as physically possible!
"Hmmm. . . What's the catch?" Sasuke's sharp eyes snapped towards his 'rival.'
'He's too easy!' Naruto thought as he answered. "Not much, just that if I win I want you to buy me ramen for the next four months. Oh! And talk me up to Sakura!"
Sasuke could feel his eye twitch as irritation set in, but then again if he won there was no catch! He would finally get some alone time with the woman he's been falling in love with since they were newbies and Naruto wouldn't get shit! He was sure to win!
Sasuke smirked as Naruto smiled. "Deal." And they were off, counting the number of hallows they finished off.
"Roar Kyuubi!" Naruto yelled and his blade curved and became thicker towards the hilt, turning blood red. The hilt grew long curving over the back of Naruto's hand as nine short spikes appeared. After Kyuubi transformed Naruto flipped him so the back of the blade rested against his arm with the spikes pointing as if they were his own knuckles and Naruto started to take down hollows quickly!
Sasuke, deciding to follow his friend, speaking, "Avenge, Susanoo." Susanoo's blade grew in length and a skull sat on top of the hilt. Although he had just recently lost his arm, Sasuke handled his zanpakuto beautifully and cut down hollow after hollow.
As they continued they both were starting to look worse as they were also starting to struggle, adrenalin could only do so much with the amount of blood they had lost. Naruto had just finished off his 38th hollow when he stumbled, his vision becoming blurry! This was enough time for a hollow to catch him off guard and kick him, sending him flying!
Sasuke's vision was dulling as well, but he pressed on destroying the 39th hollow in his way. He was going onto his 40th when Naruto slammed into the side of him, throwing both of them to the ground! Sasuke leaned up onto his elbows to see Naruto to weak to stand but trying his best to move off his friend. They heard the howl of a hungry hollow, looking up they both made contact with three different hollows that stared them down, ready to eat!
"Shit!" Sasuke growled and Naruto grunted, both were unable to move out of the way in time for all hollows jumped at the same time! 'Damnit! I'm gonna die by small dumbass small fry!' Sasuke thought but was hesitant as he saw blue electricity flow through the air!
Two fellow lieutenants stood in front of them, squad 4 and squad 7s Lieutenant Sakura Haruno and Lieutenant Hinata Hyuuga, both with their zanpakuto in hand! But they weren't the ones to destroy the hollows. Sasuke's captain took out the hollows quickly making sure to check up on his Lieutenant. Smiling down on the two boys he answered the questioning stares he was given. "I'm sorry I'm so late, I was helping a little kitty out of a tree." And of course both Naruto and Sasuke thought the same the thing. 'No way was that what you were doing!'
Captain Kakashi Hatake of the 11th squad stood tall with his zanpakuto, Chidori by his side. He was a 6'2''man with gravity defying silver hair, a scar over his left eye and even though everyone has tried only a selected few captains have ever seen the lower part of his face. His uniform was a little tattered but other than that he looked to be in pretty good shape. Unsheathed Chidori had a black sheath with blue markings going along it making it look like lightning and it had a dark blue hilt, but when activated Chidori became a long needlepoint knife with a blue ribbon that connected to the hilt and wrapped around Kakashi's arm.
Kakashi turned back to focus on the hollows that were left, not that many as he counted the amount he could finish. Realizing that he wouldn't be able to fight them all off he turned to the others.
"Lieutenant Haruno, can you take care of these two while I take Lieutenant Hyuuga and finish off the hollows?" He questioned the females in front of him. Sakura mock saluted the man. "Yes' of course Captain!" "Y-Yes, Captain Hatake." Hinata agreed in a soft voice that made Sasuke want her to talk more, but only to him.
Sakura Haruno, Lieutenant to Captain Tsunade Senju of the 4th squad, also known as the medical squad and the wielder of the zanpakuto, Mebuki. Mebuki is a tanto with a tan sheath having sakura blossoms run along it and a red hilt. Sakura was a 5'7'' woman with a slim figure and a slightly large forehead. Her pink hair and emerald eyes has had Naruto crushing on her for years, although she would much rather have Sasuke's attention as she's 'loved' him since the academy. She wore a standard reaper's uniform except for the med kit on her back and the red turtleneck underneath.
Sakura quickly kneeled down separating the boys so she could heal them and activated her zanpakuto. "Heal, Mebuki!" Mebuki transformed into a scalpel as she unwrapped an arm she had picked up earlier from god knows where.
Naruto looked from the arm to Sakura, back and forth with a look of shock! "Whose arm is that?!" Sakura glared at him. "It's a right arm and you need a right arm! Plus it will be faster to heal from something rather than nothing, now shut up and let me fix you, stupid! Sasuke will take a long time to heal since I couldn't find a left arm; I can't wait to work on him!" Now she was just daydreaming about how she and Sasuke would fall in love because she healed him and they would get married, have like 10 children and live happily ever after! She did this as she stabbed Naruto's limb, literally taking his pain away, for now.
Sasuke wasn't really paying attention to any of what the two beside him were doing for he was watching Hinata get ready to fight alongside his captain.
Hinata Hyuuga is the Lieutenant for Captain Kurenai Yuhi of squad 7 with her zanpakuto named Komainu. Komainu is a katana held in a dark blue sheath with purple ribbon spiraled around it and a gold hilt. Hinata stands at 5'3'' with an hourglass figure and a gentle and graceful touch. Her once long ink like hair now had a good chunk of it cut to her shoulder, most likely during the battle, her eyes the color of lavender and pale skin covered in dirt, blood and cuts! Her standard reaper uniform was slightly different as her sleeves were extra-long, going to her fingertips and she wore a white and purple obi sash around her waist. But her clothes were torn at her side exposing the right side of her small waist; luckily the obi had held otherwise everyone may have had a nice look at the underside of her breast.
"Be gentle, Komainu." She whispered holding her weapon with tenderness and care. Komainu transformed into a pair of gold pantera claws, the blades were short with a thin copper chain flying behind her, the ends connected to circular blue stones that were connected to the side of her fists.
Even as she shredded her enemy, Hinata's elegant movements often had many in awe. You would never guess that the sweet and generous Hinata Hyuuga would have such a ferocious and terrifying weapon but once you see her in action it made so much sense.
Kakashi and Hinata finished off the remaining hollows in the area when Sasuke noticed that Hinata had been holding her right side, hiding her skin from view, after all she was still pretty shy.
"Hyu-" Sasuke was interrupted by Sakura who had all but shoved her face into his. "Sasuke it's your turn! Would you rather I heal you from scratch, which could take a really long time, or should we take a walk and find another arm for you?" She said all this while batting her eyes trying her best to gain Sasuke's attention.
Sasuke felt his eyebrow itch as Sakura continued to squabble but Sasuke continued to watch Hinata as she sheathed Komainu and headed towards his captain making sure he was okay. Thinking back to his arm he had decided its fate long before he and Naruto had met up and decided to take out the hollows together. "Heal it the way it is, it's a souvenir from my brother." He had said all this calmly while both Naruto and Sakura had blanched at the idea so he quickly sighed and added. "And don't argue, idiots."
Sakura nodded and started to heal the stump while Naruto talked enthusiastically with Kakashi about how he had defeated an Arrancar all by himself, boasting and trying his best to look cool for Sakura. Hinata giggled as she joined the group with Sasuke's zanpakuto, that he had dropped after Naruto smashed into him earlier on, sheathed and held tightly to her chest in both hands.
Hinata kneeled down handing Sasuke his Susanoo and gave him that heart melting smile she gave everyone. Sasuke felt the heat rush to cheeks and turned his head so no one could see it, both Naruto and Kakashi knew that he liked her and often teased him on it but right now probably wasn't the time as everyone was still injured and exhaustion weighed down on them.
Sasuke stood, towering over Hinata as he took Susanoo as gently as he could and even brushed his fingertips against the back of her hand. Hinata blushed at the contact and Sasuke smirked feeling pride well up knowing he was the one to cause the heat that rushed to her face! Looking up at him through thick lashes, Sasuke could only think about how pretty she was, but the moment was ruined by Naruto, who had clapped his hands on top of their shoulders!
"Alright! Thanks for saving our asses! Hahaha!" Naruto laughed loudly as Sasuke growled, hitting the man upside the head! Hinata smiled, although Sasuke could see the worry in her expression as she turned to Naruto, asking if he okay.
Sasuke knew she used to have a crush on Naruto back when they were still in the academy, but back then he had thought that she was annoying with her shy demeanor and her constant stuttering. He had been cold and distant, angry that his older brother, Itachi, had betrayed the Soul Society to join Captain Orochimaru Yasha, who used to be in charge of squad 12, and his plight to take over. Naruto had been the one to help him see that vengeance and hate shouldn't be the only reason to become a soul reaper, this had actually helped him learn his zanpakuto's name!
When Hinata had learned of Komainu's name she had hated it, claiming it was too violent and wouldn't let it transform, her grades and knowledge of Bakudo and Hado were enough to get her by. Sasuke was the one who had helped her in understanding her zanpakuto in the end!
-Flashback-
The senior reapers were taking the newbies out to have them take on the smaller, much weaker hollows. During the mission an unexpectedly strong hollow showed up! It was small but very fast, built like a cat but with the skull of toad and a tongue like a chameleon! It had killed the unsuspecting seniors and moved on to swallowing and injuring the newbies!
Sasuke, being the star pupil, decided to take it upon himself to destroy the thing but ended up injuring his leg protecting another reaper from being killed! Hinata and the young reaper he had saved dragged him to shelter as the hollow circled around searching for more reapers, eating to become stronger!
The young reaper next to them was shaking mumbling about how they were never going to get out alive and that he didn't want to die, not yet! Sasuke could feel his irritation grow and when he turned to see how the Hyuuga was doing he realized she was shaking, fear had gotten to her as well as her eyes filled with tears.
"Stop it." He said more towards Hinata but it seemed to get both of their attention. He glared at the young woman as he continued to speak. "You're supposed to be a reaper, we're supposed to take hollows out! Now wake up and find a way to destroy it!"
Hinata looked shocked at the way he had harshly whispered but it was the other boy who spoke, blubbering more like it. "B-But how a-are we supposed to take th-that thing out?! We're ne-w!" The boy was slightly louder than Sasuke but was silenced with a glare.
Turning back to Hinata he pushed on. "I know you know your zanpakuto's name. Take it and defeat the hollow." Hinata spoke softly, trying her best not to argue but not wanting to work with the weapon. "M-My weapon is so vi-violent, it doesn't fi-fit me."
By now Sasuke was angry. "It is not a weapon!" His hands shot forwards, one grabbed her katana and the other grabbed her wrist. Hinata gasped in surprise as he roughly shoved the two together! "You fight together, this is your partner! And you don't treat your partner as if it's a monster!" He had yelled this while looking her straight into her lavender eyes!
His breath came out fast as he watched something grow in her eyes that has grown in his when Naruto had knocked sense it him, recognition and clarity.
The moment was ruined as the wall to the cabin they had hid in was destroyed, the hollow had heard Sasuke's yell. The hollow has seemed to eaten more because it had grown, to the size of a hippo! It still had a cat's body but the skull had changed, growing sharp edges and long saber teeth, it had also grown a tail and had learned to speak!
"Sh-Shit!" The young reaper yelled hiding behind a small table that had been pushed onto its side by debris.
"I found some little piggy's hiding in a house made of sticks, I have destroyed the house and now it's time to eat!" Its shrill voice laughed hauntingly as Sasuke glared at the thing, if he was going to die, he'd rather know his killer than turn a blind eye! Although these thoughts stopped as he felt a build in spiritual pressure, it sent a shiver down his spine! He noticed Hintata stand beside him, bangs covering her eyes, she was the cause of the pressure! He watched as she unsheathed her zanpakuto, giving off a golden glow! The hollow didn't seem to notice this change in power, but what Sasuke saw was beautiful!
"Komainu." Hinata whispered her partner's name and she was breathtaking! Sasuke smirked as the hollow continued to laugh!
"This little piggy seems to want to play! I'll just have to eat you other tw-" The hollow had abruptly stopped talking as Hinata disappeared from it sight! Sensing her behind it, it turned slowing and almost mechanically. "W-Why? I was strong! Why-" those were the hollows final words as it dissipated with three cuts, splitting its mask into four different parts!
Higher ranked reapers had shown up after and as a reaper from 4th squad healed his leg Sasuke saw Hinata lean down next to him. She looked at him with a heartwarming smile on her plump, pink lips and spoke the words he hadn't heard in a very long time without a single stutter!
"Thank you." And he fell, hard.
-End-
After that they were all separated into different squads and so whenever paperwork or messages needed to be taken to Squad 7 he made sure he would be the one to deliver it, hoping to get a glimpse of Hinata, and when he did he would just nod but the smile he would receive was definitely worth it! Once they were both Lieutenants it was a lot easier to go talk to her, be it meetings or doing paperwork together, he was willing to go the distance just to see her. Often getting teased about it by both his captain and Naruto, Sasuke used to get irritated, arguing and/or hitting Naruto, even if he tried he wouldn't be able to touch Kakashi, but now he would either ignore them or get Naruto back later, painfully!
Hinata had been the one to bring his attention to the black cicadas that the Soul Society used for communication, telling the group to head to the tower at the center of the Society, most likely to access who had survived and who had died.
They all moved quickly getting to the tower as fast as they could, considering that many were injured. Getting to the tower now that the hollows were taken out was a quiet and easy procedure but the knowledge of the many they had lost was discouraging.
They had learned of the deaths of Squad 12's Captain Danzo Shimura, and 1st squad, head of the Soul Society's Commander Hiruzen Sarutobi and his Lieutenant, Gekko Hayate,and althoughthey only lost three in commander many lower ranking reapers had lost their lives, most could not even be acknowledged for they had either been eaten or cut up beyond recognition!
From then on, until they could come up with a suitable candidate to become Commander, the captains of squad 2 through 13 would share the duties and would split the rest of squad 12 into different divisions, until a new captain can be named. But until then the Soul Society needed to be repaired and that was going to take some time.
Paperwork was a bitch, as Naruto liked to put it, but Sasuke was willing to do it as long as it gave him time with Hinata. Sasuke smirked to himself as he thought of the different ways to get her to notice him.
Opening the shutter door to the Lieutenants improvised meeting room, his inky eyes met lavender, but not the gentle ones he was expecting! Shock and irritation filled him as he processed what was in front of him.
"What are you doing just standing there, get in here Uchiha we have a lot of work to do." The sharp voice of 2nd squad's Lieutenant hit him full force.
One of the two Lieutenants for Captain Might Guy of squad 2 and Hinata Hyuuga's cousin, Neji Hyuuga, weilder of the zanpakuto named Kagome sat in front of a couple of large piles of papers just waiting to be looked at. Kagome was a long katana with a black sheath and a silver strip going along the side and gray hilt. His 5'11 pale skin and lavender eyes matched his cousins but he had chestnut brown hair that had a hair tie at the bottom. He had a straight laced, serious attitude and was extremely overprotective of Hinata. Even his uniform earned prestige for not even a single hair on his body was out of place. Oh and Sasuke hated him!
Knowing he couldn't back down he slammed the door shut, walked to the table and got to work all the while cursing the Lieutenant of the 8th squad! 'That bastard's gonna to die!'
Miles away Naruto could be seen laughing to himself, "Well, I didn't say which Hyuuga, Heeheehe!" and continued his way towards Gaara, who had caught sight of Hinata and was trying to get to her. Naruto needed to keep him busy for at least two hours, if he didn't Sasuke might actually kill him!
