Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach, Although I do own Sakura Hitsugaya, her Zanpak-tou and the blood and white Squads. They just play really well together. ^_~
Spoliers: Um some, and none, hard to say,
A/n: Kinda a fun spin, a ramdom thought about what it would be like for Ichigo to meet another with power like him. As for pairings to be decided. Not sure just yet. But thinking Rukia and Ichigo...drop me a line letting me know who you'd like to see with who. I can work with just about anything. ^_^
Red lights flashed thru the room, sirens blared into the early monring air, cutting thru the silence attempting to alert someone to the danger that was taking place as forty nine men and women ran from the hidden labs in one of the furthest out-reaches within the Soul Society. Each one rushing off to do damage early in the morning, and flee tearing into things and making an all around mess, as they tore apart buildings dressed in either crimson red or pure unstained white they demolished the buildings around them, terroried the citizens with in the city and then fled finding a way to leave the soul society and head thru the dongai pacifist world and into the mortal realm. They dissappeared into the early morning light, to reign terror on the mortals of earth and make a mark and name for themselves.
Kurotshuchi Mayuri, Captian of Division: 12th, stood there staring at the last pod, running his finger over the frozen surface. The other forty nine had opened which was how they knew of this to begin with. According to the records he had on file they had been destoried. And that distruction had cost them a great Soul Reaper. Seishiro Hitsugaya had been a force to be reckoned with. A shinigami like no other and here he was standing here before the last pod....that bore only the name of the Zanpak-to.
"Zakurakadoguchi, it is hard to determine if that is your name, or just the name of your Zanpak-to, since as far as the records state, you where never given a name." Kurotshuchi said as he looked at the girl, the figure sleeping in the glass tank. Urahara did not destory you like he was supposed to. Why is that? What secert do you possess that he would spare you and leave the Soul Soceity willingly? That he would turn his back on everything and why then did he not take you? Hmm Zakurakadoguchi? Do you have the answers to these questions?" He tapped the glass with the long metal nail on his finger before tipping his head. "More importantlly why did the rest of the forbidden's keep you locked up here? Why did they not free you as well and take you from here?"
And still no answer from the sleeping girl in the tank. He sighed. "I want to open this tank and run tests, find out what your differences are Zakurakadoguchi, how different are you? What are you?"
"Captian Kurotshuchi, Captian Yamamoto would like a status report on the condition of this unknown facility as well as what was contained here in." Nemu said in a soft tone as she looked at her father then at the figure sleeping there. I have managed to find Urahara's notes on the Pures kept in storage here."
"Good give them to me. I will inform Captian Yamamoto of my findings here, in the mean time see if you can undo the locks that are keeping this fine speciem locked up here." He said waving with one hand before walking away and reading the paperwork that Nemu had brought before him.
He glanced over as Nemu worked on the locks and sprung them hearing the hiss of the seals as they gave way and released as the tank opened and slowly the girl with snow white hair sat up, fingers slowly moving to curl about the edge and Kurotshuchi smiled alive...the speicem was alive which meant he'd have plenty of time to run tests on her even as they figure out how to stop the rest of the forbidden's.
She moved and climbed out of the tank, short white hair falling about her chin, and bangs falling gracefully around her face, long whisps of hair hung down on either side of her face, white uniform with pale pink cherry blossoms on her sleeves and pant legs. A matching sash around her waist tied in a large bow with long material hanging down. Small clips were fastened in her hair, at the whisps several pale blue beads with small crystaline sakura flowers ever third or fourth bead. At her back was a sword held there by a golden sash from her right shoulder to her left hip. The Zanpak-to's hilt was a gentle reflection of Hyourinmaru.
She looked at them. "Who are you?" She asked in a warm gentle voice and he smiled.
"Captian Kurotshuchi, of Squad 12." He said as he walked forwards. "The reas.."
"Research and development?" She asked him looking at him. "What has happened to Captian Urahara?"
"He retired I now run it." Kurotshuchi said as he walked towards her, a hungry look in his eyes. The tests he could run. "If you'll just come with me Zakurakadoguchi."
"I am not Zakurakadoguchi." She said looking over at him. "I am Captian Sakura Hitsugaya of Squad 14, or the white shadow unit." She looked over at him and then around the room again. "Where is the rest of them? Why have you awoken us?"
"Ah we have not awoken you they have awoken themselves and gotten free. At this time we are looking for them if you'd be so kind as to come with me." Kurotshuchi said and she looked at him.
"I do not have the time to entertain you." Sakura said as she started to walk past him.
"Ah but I'm afraid I must insist Captian Hitsugaya." He said with a not of mockery to his voice. She was no captian of that he was certain. "Ashisogi Jizou Kakimushire!." He said smirking and weilding his Shikai. "Sorry but this won't hurt but a moment." He said thinking that he would have her hurting much much more then that later as he ran his tests.
Kurotshuchi started to thrust his sword forward to hit her and she moved her sword drawn splitting in two chains wrapping around her slender wrists as they dangled down towards the floor not tripping her up, fan blades large and delicate in appearance, like fine sharp metal lace work with soft pale blue and pink stones interlace thruought it.
"Ten Kara Oriru, Zakurakadoguchi." She said softly as began moving not allowing Kurotshuchi to get any closer to her as the fan blades whipped out flying around her as she danced and moved holding the chains and, arches of light from the fans cutting the air, but it was the cherry blossom petals and the ice shards slashing into him as the blades tore deep knocking him around in the air, tossing him about as if he was a rag doll. Mayuri Kurotshuchi had been unable to even finish getting his Shikai off....she had made short work out of him as Nemu watched standing off to the side, frozen in place. She had tried to move but as if those petals and shards tore into Kurotshuchi they blocked her from being able to get any closer.
Kurotshuchi watched as she caught the fans kneeling, one hand up in the air the other behind her to the side a little, and looking at him. "I am sorry but I must contain them before they can harm anyone." Then looked over at Nemu. "You may call for the medical teams now, I will be gone before they get here though I have too much to do and not enough time to do it all in."
Then she was gone....and Kurotshuchi blacked out....still seeing glowing cherry blossom petals and ice shards in his dreams....
All of the squad Captians were pressent or at least they all should be present. Kurotshuchi was in the med wing at the moment which meant they were down one. Even still Toushiro Hitsugaya wasn't happy as he listened to Nemu give her report about the events that happened less then an hour ago.
"Your saying that the creature called itself Captian Hitsugaya?" Komamura Sajin asked looking at Nemu.
"I would not call her a creature. No." Nemu said as she looked at them. "In a short time she proved to be a skilled Shinigami, she took out My captian before he could finish launching his Shikai."
"I see, and you said she called herself Sakura Hitsugaya?" Ukitake Jyuushiro said as he looked over at her. She nodded her head. "Yes sir. She called herself Captian Hitsugaya of Squad 14, and said that she needed to take care of the current problem." She looked at them all then down again.
"I have not had the time to comfirm or deny the information that she had provided us with."
"It does not matter at this point, there is no Squad Fourteen." Yamamoto said shaking his head. "We must find all of these things and destory them before they do damage to the human and spirit worlds."
They all nodded. But Toushirou wasn't so sure. He had accepted the order because he didn't have a choice but there was something about this that was bother him. Sakura.....Seishirou had died a long time ago because of the loss of his daughter. Because of the loss of Sakura. His most precious treasure, even more so above his wife who had died in child birth. Seishirou had handled that because of the small child and then....it was why at first he had had no desire to become one of the Shinigami they had caused his brothers death. But....now, if it meant he was in a postion to save Sakura this time. He owed it to Seishirou didn't he? His brother had a right to rest in peace knowing that his daughter was alive and well and safe. under his protection.
But Toushirou had a problem he could not just go running to the earth and track her down right away. He had to find out more about things here. Then paused as he looked at his vice-captian.
"Rangiku." Toushirou said as he looked at her.
"Captian Hitsugaya, you look troubled." Rangiku Matsumoto said as she looked at her shorter captian he had a special place in her heart, she knew that and as she looked at him realized that he was about to ask something of her that could..."What do you need me to do?"
Toushirou looked at her then around and sighed. "I need you to go to Earth, and find Ichigo." he said looking at her. "Your going to need his help in keeping her safe."
"Her?" Rangiku asked feeling a little put off at the idea of rescuing some girl.
"Yes, if I'm right about this, she would be my niece, my brothers only daughter." He looked at her. "And she is in danger at the moment. Sakura looks like the family, snow white hair."
"Teal eyes and pale skin?" Rangiku asked and Toushirou shook his head no.
"No, she has podwer blue eyes like her father." Toushirou said looking at her.
"No problem. I'll go after her, and have Ichigo help me keep her safe until we figure things out. You can count on me." Rangiku said with a bright smile and dissappeared.
"I know. I'm sorry Rangiku." Toushirou said softly. He was going to get her into trouble for this. But it couldn't be helped right? Had not Ichigo himself gotten upset with him for keeping it all bottled in? Well Ichigo and Rangiku wanted to be part of his problems then they would be. They could keep Sakura safe while he comfirmed her lineage and found a way to keep her safe.
Toushirou turned and paused as he was looking at Byakuya who was regarding him quietly.
"An endavor of this nature can be dangerous on your own." He said as he walked fowards.
Toushiou watched the captian of Squad six walk over to him and then look in the direction that Rangiku had taken off in.
"Renji." Byakuya Kuchiki said as he glanced over his shoulder. "Go check up on Ichigo and make sure that he is staying out of trouble. He seems to like to make Rukia worry over him unessarily."
"Of course." Renji Abarai said nodding his head and jumping up dissappearing.
"Come Toushirou we have work to do here." He said looking at him.
"This goes against the rules." Toushirou said looking at him.
"Someone once told me, that if a rule means turning your back on family then you must tear it down." Byakuya said then looked ahead. "I told him if he could beat me, I would accept his logic and proceed further." He looked at Toushirou. "He beat me."
Ichigo hollared as he was slammed hard by a guy with dark purple hair a red fightin gi and a twisted looking Zanpak-to. The guy hadn't said anything and the next thing Ichigo knew he was plowing the earth with his body, he didn't care how much they show it in anime and cartoon's. That really really hurt!
"That's it!" Ichigo shouted as he jumped back up and glared at the man in the air who was laughing as if he had just witnessed the funniest thing in the world.
"Zangetsu...you ready?" Ichigo mumbled and felt the reassurance from his blade, form Zangetsu and glared up at the man. He moved to launch his attack only to be wambasted once again into the ground by purple haired guy. Heck Ichigo didn't even have a name to call him.
Gritting his teeth he looked up as a girl in a white fighting gi moved past him. Two fans flying out on glittering chains.
"Ten Kara Oriru, Zakurakadoguchi." She said and he watched one of the most beautiful Shi-kai's he had ever seen.
The guy takes the hits and returns his own. Then smirks. "Is that the best you have? Or have you forgotten, there is no mastering this Zanpak-to, for I am the Zanpak-to."
"I know." She said softly as she looked at him. "Ban-kai."
Ichigo threw his arm up as a blinding power surged up around her, he could feel it....like he had just been dropped into an ocean...an endless ocean of power, and could drown in it.....just who was she?
