Chapter 1: [New Neighbor]

Yukina POV:

I let out a deep breath as I set my luggage down on the polished wooden floor of my new apartment. Moving to Karakura had taken a lot longer than expected but thankfully it's finally over. I squeezed past the stacks of boxes that cluttered my apartment and took a deep breath of fresh air as I opened the door to the balcony. I leaned on the railing and gazed out at the lively town as the wind caught my long black hair. I jumped slightly when I heard the doorbell ring and made my way back through the stacks to the door. When I opened it I was greeted by a strawberry blonde girl with a huge smile on her face.

"Hello, I'm sorry to bother you but I am your new neighbor Inoue Orihime!" she said holding out a bowl of covered food before continuing "Not saying I'm new, but well, I am new to you, but you are more new than me…" she kept rambling on nervously and scratching her head with a blush on her face.

A small laugh escaped my lips and I took the food. "It's nice to meet you, Inoue. My name is Hio, Yukina." I said with a smile. "I would invite you in but…" I paused as I opened the door wider to give her a peek at the endless mountain of boxes. "I'm afraid my place is kind of a mess."

That's when she got a determined look in her eyes "Let me help! I am much stronger than I look and I could invite some of my friends and we could be done in no time!" she said excitedly.

I sweat drop at her drastic personality change and give a closed-eyed smile. "That's not necessary Inoue."

She bent slightly toward me, put one hand on her hip, and put one finger up to stop me from arguing "You shouldn't have to unpack all those boxes by yourself, you could really hurt yourself." she replied. I looked over my shoulder at the boxes again and sighed as I imagined some of the higher stacks falling on me. Her expression softened before a grin spread across her face again. "We can make a party out of it and you can meet some of my friends."

"Ok, you win" I nodded in assent.

"Yay!" she squealed and hugged me. "I'll call them right now," she said as she rushed to her apartment to get her cell phone.

I closed the door but left it unlocked and began taking the foil off the bowl to see what food she made me. My eyes widened as I saw the questionable mixture of what looked like rice, veggies, and I paused. Gummy bears? And sprinkles? My phone rang and I set the food down in the kitchen as I narrowed my eyes at the caller ID.

"We have a job for you." a low voice said.

I walked into my bedroom and locked the door before putting my hand above my head materializing a white mask over my face. I closed my eyes as I felt my long black hair turned shockingly white and my normally purple irises turned gold. Feeling the instinct to kill set in I answered in a chillingly distorted voice.

"I understand."
