Her dark blue eyes were wide and confused. How did she end up in this world of side ways sky-scrapers? She had been relaxing in one of the many caves in the mountains of her home when she was pulled into the drab blue world of sky-scrapers and no life.
"Who are you?" The young woman jumped at the very masculine voice behind her, whirling around to glare at the stranger.
"I should be asking that of you..." She said warily. The old man smirked, jumping from his post on a pole jutting from one of the many buildings and stood before her, offering a hand in assistance so she could stand.
Sode no Shirayuki accepted the help in standing, brushing invisible dirt off her kimono.
"Again I ask: Who are you?" The old man repeated his question, making the physically younger spirit glare.
"My name is of no concern to you. What matters is where am I and how do I return to my master?"
"You are in my master's inner world. Now, tell me your name."
Standing tall, the pale lavender haired woman announced her name. "I am Sode no Shirayuki." Her next comment not only had her puffing up in pride, but also made the elder male smirk. "I am one of the most beautiful ice and snow ZanpakutÅ in all of Soul Society."
Zangetsu had yet to revel his name, but was rather amused by this... Child. So young, so unaware of the world around her. Zangetsu would have loved to rain on her parade by saying how he has seen other spirits with much more beauty than her, but didn't bother.
"Now, I have told you my name. I demand to know yours."
"My name is Zangetsu. And I am this boy's blade. Why are you here?"
Sode no Shirayuki looked guilty at that. "I don't know... I remember being in the mountains of my own home when I was pulled into this place. I do not know how I got here nor do I know why I am here."
Zangetsu frowned, staring up at the blue sky hovering over them. "Then we will have to wait until it is time..."
Sode no Shirayuki was confused. "Time? Time for what?"
"For Ichigo to gain his true powers..." And with that, Zangetsu left Sode no Shirayuki standing there by herself, know the only place she could really go was further into the city of Ichigo's mind. At least he had a conversation partner now.
The woman huffed, glaring at Zangetsu's back as he stood on the pole, a scowl on her face as she spun on a heel and walked further into the side ways city surrounding her so she could cover come of the buildings in snow and make it seem much more like home to her than the current scene.
"Come seek me out if you ever need a word." Was the last thing she said before vanishing in a swirl of snow, going further into Ichigo's mind to explore and hide.
A/N: Zangetsu and Sode no Shirayuki fanfiction. Was watching the ZanpakutÅ Rebellion arc and thought: "Does Shirayuki know Zangetsu? Did she get shoved into Ichigo's inner world the night Rukia lent Ichigo her powers?"
If she did end up in there, I'm sure she'd turn half of the city into a snow logged world with ten meter high piles of snow to suit her needs since she is an ice and snow type blade. *shrugs* Enjoy, then! You can see IchiRuki in this if you want, but I'm not one for the pairing.
