Sibling rivalry

*Hey everyone it's EmpressSaix once again! Here is a quick short little fic I came up with. The pairing is Uryu and Nemu (my absolute favorite pairing) and my OC Naoko will be included in this story.

Quick plot summary: While Nemu is in the World of the Living gathering data on Hollows for her Captain. He finishes making a new Lieutenant to replace Nemu, her 'little sister' Anya. But there can only be one Lieutenant and the girls must have a fight to the death to determine who it will be. But Nemu isn't the only one who's at stake here...

I'm going to try and make it a max of five chapters' maybe and epilogue; we'll see how it goes. Rated T for swearing, blood and violence. So all you little kiddies reading this you have been warned.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach except for my OC's Naoko and Anya

Chapter 1: Peaceful beginnings don't last long

A dark room...a lone table in the center...bathed by the light of a single bulb above. A still unmoving body lay on the table. A man, no a Captain stood next to the still figure grinning like the mad scientist that he was. He rubbed his hands together in excitement and the mad grin spread across his face. He then gripped a red leaver and pulled it down. The body shook as a sharp and quick jolt of electricity ran through it. Its eyes snapped open and it slowly sat up.

"Anya..." The scientist whispered.

At that moment Nemu woke with a start, it took her a moment to realize it was just a dream. The green leaves in the trees rustled softly as a gently breeze blew by. She was still here, her safe haven, her sanctuary with her protector, her knight. He was still sleeping peacefully, there were times when Nemu forgot that this was still the same person who had fought and almost killed her father. That this was the same person who had fought against an Espada and on many occasions had almost died.

Nemu had only been staying with him for a little over a week but the two had grown considerably close together. Now they couldn't be separated by anything. Nemu had originally come to Karakura to gather more observations and test samples on the Hollows in that area for her Captain/father. Since she had nowhere to stay, (from what she heard from Renji and Rukia it was best not to stay with Urahara...) so she went to the one person she knew lived here.

He was shocked but was willing to let her stay with him. The longer she stayed and hung around him the more attached they became. She even started to go to the same school as him and his friends. She loved the experience of attending a high school, doing homework, being around other people who wanted to get to know her as a friend, not a Soul Reaper. There were times when she forgot what brought her here in the first place and wished that something would happen that could allow her to stay here forever.

Uryu stirred and opened his eyes, "Nemu? Is something wrong?"

The two had a picnic here earlier and after their filling meal and had fallen sleep under a tree. Nemu's peaceful nap had been interrupted by that odd dream. The dream of her father and that girl he called Anya.

She shook her head, "No, nothing is wrong."

She laid her head back down on his chest and closed her eyes. Uryu was still a little concerned but shrugged it off and went back to sleep.

Back in the Soul Society, deep in the maze of intricate labs, rooms and hallways of the Twelfth Division a creation was taking life. Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi stood next to the table where his perfect or at least near-perfect creation lay. This one would he hoped will replace his mistake of a lieutenant.

She had soft blonde hair in multiple long braids that made her hair look like an octopus. She had a large chest, large enough to make a guy's head turn but small enough not to hinder her fighting or anything else. Her legs and arms were thin like super models but were unbelievably strong. She wore a plain short black kimono uniform just like her predecessor.

Excitedly Kurotsuchi grabbed hold of a red lever and slammed it down. A sharp strong volt of electricity shot through the still lifeless body. Her eyes snapped open, metallic gold orbs taking in their new surroundings. She slowly rose like a zombie waking from an eternal sleep.

"Anya...my perfect creation. I have a job for you to do." Cackled the insane Captain.

"Yes, master?" Asked Anya in a sickly sweet voice that made your skin crawl.

"I want you to track and kill your elder sister Nemu. While you're there I want you pick me up a pair of new research subjects."

"Yes master."

The sun had set and the moon had risen quicker than Nemu would have liked. It just meant that she was another day closer to going home and leaving the new and enjoyable life she was settling into. She didn't want to leave the beautiful town, or her new school or the new people she was starting to see as friends. But she especially didn't want to leave Uyru.

The young man had taken her in when she had nowhere else to go. He (along with his younger sister) had shown her so many levels of kindness and caring. Nemu couldn't recall a time when she had laughed and smiled so much. The pair was walking back to Uryu's home; Nemu rested her head on his shoulder with his arm wrapped tightly around her waist. But then Uryu stopped walking, Nemu looked up to see a blonde Soul Reaper standing in front of them.

Her piercing gold eyes sent cold shivers up both their spines. The girl had two normal sized swords strapped at each side of her hips. She wore a uniform just like Nemu's when she's in Soul Reaper form. The girl stood statue like in front of them.

Uryu stood ready to attack should she attack; Nemu grabbed her soul candy and was ready to pop a piece in so she could fight. But the girl didn't make a move for her swords.

"You are Nemu Kurotsuchi correct?" the girl asked as she pointed to Nemu. Nemu hesitantly nodded and narrowed her eyes. "I am your new and greatly improved little sister and Lieutenant of Squad 12 Anya Kurotsuchi. I am here to challenge you to a shi to tatakau *. You are to report here in three days at this time for our match. If you refuse or try to run or hide I will find and kill you and anyone who tries to stop me. So you best come prepared to die."

Before either of them could say anything she flash-stepped into the night. They both stood stunned as to what she said. An icy fear gripped Nemu's body, every bit of her froze. She wanted to crawl away somewhere or stand behind some who would protect her. Normally she didn't care if she died or not but now she had something to live for a reason to enjoy and appreciate life.

Uryu could see that what that girl said caused Nemu to freeze in fear. He pulled her close to him and wrapped his arms protectively around her. Nemu buried her face in his chest; she clutched his shirt as tears streamed down her cheeks. He gently stroked her and held her closer.

"Don't worry Nemu; I'm not going to let her hurt you. As long as I'm here you'll always be safe. We'll find some way out of this, I promise." He murmured.

Nemu settled down but she refused to tear away from Uryu's protective and reassuring embrace. I hope so Uryu.

*And cut! Chapter one is done! So what do you think of it? This is just a little side story it's not really connected to my other fic A Sister's Strength, which I'm still working on...I just need to get a few things organized first is all...

*shi to tatakau--death fight. (Yeah I know not very creative but it's all I could come up with...)
