Chapter 00:

Growing up, Yaya Chiyo was sheltered, that was, until she was given permission to enter the Shinigami Academy. She excelled in all things she did, and soon after she graduated she was placed on squad 11, a squad full of meat headed fighters. After moving through the ranks of squad 11, a friend of hers, Matsumoto Rangiku, vice captain of the tenth squad desided to take Yaya Chiyo out for drinking.

While she was there, old teammate Abarai Renji, and current teammates Madarame Ikkaku and Ayasegawa Yumichika, came to join in celebration, along with vice captain of the third squad, Kira Izuru. All were having a good time teasing Yaya Chiyo about not drinking when entered Hisagi Shuuhei, who immidiately caught Chiyo's attention.

Through many attempts, Hisagi failed at being able to get Yaya Chiyo to cooperate with his flirting and had the gates to the Yaya estate closed in his face. The next day, the persistant Hisagi Shuuhei announced that Yaya Chiyo would now be on his squad. After disreguarding Hisagi as her vice captain, she still acted out. Her straight-to-the-point attitude has Hisagi Shuuhei hooked.

After weeks of training and getting to know eachother, the two formed a forbidden relationship that dealt with sex, and a courtly type of love, forbidden for the heiress of the Yaya family. Soon moving into the third seat by feburary and having dealt with many ranking changes, she is sent for a month to Seto, Japan with Shota Ririn, and in their final days were attacked by an arrancar named Junkaio Kaito, an arrancar that can split himself into two seperate people and can only be killed in one attack that has to hit both of the bodies at once.

Durring the battle, Ririn transmitted messages to Soul Society while Yaya Chiyo desperately fought against the two, holding her ground under she is no longer able to call upon her shi kai. When death was thrusted upon her, she remembered Shuuhei, which reassured her that she would live as her old captain, Zaraki Kenpachi came to the rescue. It wasn't until she awoke later that week was she told the minute she would be released from the fourth division quarters would she return to the Yaya estate to be prepared for the marriage to Koirukai Saeki.

Sending her into a depression, she refused to talk to anyone or even look at them. Shuuhei desided to not show up and that's when things changed.

She was suddenly thrown onto the ground because of the bed she was on being tossed upside down. "Atataa..." She said as she rubbed her head as she stood up. "What the hell?!" She looked over to see a very pissed off Zaraki Kenpachi. "Za-zaraki-taicho..." She said going wide-eyed as she stared at her old captain.

"Grab your zanpakuto..." He told her, "We're having our fight."

"Look at yourself..." She looked away from him and down at her hands that layed palm down on the cold floor. "This is not the Yaya Chiyo with the fire in her eyes to become the greatest shinigami and to be able to defeat the squad 11 captain without calling out her zanpakuto... This is a pathetic nobilty spoiled brat who always thought she could get anything. Listen up, Chiyo! Life's not that sweet, and I know you're aware of that! So stop mopping around and let us battle."

Nodding, she left with Zaraki Kenpachi, as many fourth division members protested against it. Coming to the cleared hill where she spent most of her free time. They prepared for their final battle, and to both surprise, Chiyo made Zaraki Kenpachi jump back into a battle stance when she did not faulter from his reiatsu. When the battle was over, it was a draw between the two, and Zaraki congradulated the girl who was being rushed to the fourth division by Hisagi and Matsumoto.

When she awoke this time, she appeared in a better mood because she was able to match up to her old captain. Promising another fight in the future, she was then released from the fourth division and left back to the Yaya estate where she would begin the preparations for her marriage.

Months passed before Chiyo found a dark secret within her own estate...

"Saeki-sama... do you think that brat has that slightest idea at all what's been going on?" She heard a familar voice but couldn't place it.

"Not at all. I gave Yaya Kyouya the permission to let her out when she was younger so that she could see how horrible that life would be and how careless she acted and how close she came to death." Saeki's voice came, "The fool couldn't tell a Doushin hollow from her father for most of her life. She still thinks that her father is still alive." Saeki laughed, "And since she's not a shinigami anymore, she can't gain that power..."

"What do you plan on doing if she finds out, Saeki-sama?"

"Kaito... I was all ready planning on killing her now that I own her estate. A women would never be able to own this family, and so once an heir is born, she will be killed. Just like her mother was years ago. It's all been planned out, Kaito... ever since the begining..." Chiyo let out a small gasp, causing them to hear her. "Who's there?!" Saeki commanded as he stood up and walked over to the door to see Chiyo's formal kimono lying there. "Kaito- find Yaya Chiyo and bring her to me." Saeki commanded the arrancar who nodded and left the room, releasing his zanpakuto so that he could go in two directions.

No.... Chiyo told herself as she ran through the halls, sliding the door open and running though the koi garden towards the gates to Soul Society. I need to get help... before it's to late... before I'm killed... before soul society is killed... She was stopped as the sadden faced Kaito appeared before her.

Coming to the rescue, Hisagi and Matsumoto desided to hold the arrancar at bay while they gave Chiyo the opening to go get the Captain Commander and ask for his help. Finding Kira, she asked for his help to get to the bridge to get to the Captain Commanders office. As she entered, a captains meeting was in session and she threw herself onto the ground, pleading for his help...

"Yamamoto-soutaicho..." She said, her back covered in blood, that was still seeping through, "I beg of your help..." She said as she felt tears forming, reality finally desiding to hit her. "My father, Yaya Kyouya, was killed years ago before I became a shinigami, and was replaced with a Doushin hollow, who is under the command of Koirukai Saeki. He is planning on gaining the power of Yaya and taking over Soul Society. He has many doushin hollows and arrancars working under him. Hisagi Shuuhei and Matusmoto Rangiku are at my estate fighting the arrancar that nearly took my life last Feburary until Zaraki-taicho saved me." She explained, "I need your help... please... don't do it for me... but for Soul Society... for heaven, for hell, for those still living, and those that need protecting... Please... just help..." She said as she clenched her fist on the cold tile floor.

"Captains..." Yamamoto spoke over Chiyo's cries. "Move into battle."

So that now, a second book is opened, The Dying Hour- Sono Rinjuu... how many lives may be lost against a force such as Koirukai Saeki and his Doushin Hollows and arrancar? And what powers will unfold when the Yaya power is released? Who will win this epic battle? And who will lose their life?
