"Talking"

Byakuya's thoughts

Inner talking/zanpakto talking

Sakura' s thoughts

Snow.

The elegant white colored snow.

Cold.

Freezing.

He hated it. Not that he'll that that to Toshiro, the young captain likes it very much from what he observed. Of course, it's not that he really hate it. He just can't stand it.

"It's like Sakura blossoms." Now, where did he heard that?

He sighs.

Of all the shinigamis to volunteer and work here in the Shinobi World, he did. No wait, he didn't volunteer, more like blackmailed – by Rukia, nonetheless. If threatening him that she'll marry the Shinigami Substitute, if he won't accept the mission was called blackmailing. Her reasons are still unknown, but one thing was kind of obvious – his adoptive sister is attracted to him. He may never admit it but, he really won't care even if she married the ryoka, as long as she's happy. But now, if there's a law allowing him to hurt the ungrateful sibling of his, he'd already sliced her into pieces via Senbonzakura, of course. But that was just a thought. Shaking his head, he moved his way to the frozen path, slowly. He's not on the rush. Being in this world for a year, he starts to get at ease. Apparently, his mission was to scout and observe. Scout – as for there are reports of hollow sightings and observe – as the 12th Division Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi, seems interested in the Shinobi's way of manipulating their energy or from what he heard from some of his travels on the watery lands of Kiri – Chakra. As of now he can count on his fingers how many hollows he had killed – 9. It appears that Hollows are rare sight on this world. Already reported what he found out, Mayuri requested to extend his mission as to OBSERVE in which, he greatly opposed. But, the 12th division captain gave him reasons as why he should stay:

"There seems to be powerful shinobi that you can challenge and –" "I'm not power hungry as Zaraki and as dense as Kurosaki that take on any challenges to get him killed." That is what he replied, and was promptly ignored as Mayuri voice another reason.

"How about women?" He glared at the captain.

"How about –" "Fine. I will extend my stay."

He said that as he had no other choice and that's where he is now. Again, in the cold, freezing, wintry land of Snow – oh the irony of this world. For some reason his foot seems taken him there. As he strides to the snow, he heard voices. Following the source, he jumps to a nearby tree and listen. The voices stop. Thinking it was just his imagination due to his none existent talking buddy, in which his Zanpakto sneered, he thought of getting back on the road, but he was wrong, someone shouted, clearly a woman. He rushes to where he heard it and was greeted by a gruesome sight – bodies. Dead. Scattered all over. A woman with pink hair,shaking a man right in front of her, was calling his name. "Kaitou." He heard. Such a beautiful voice filled with sorrow. This is the first time he heard a shinobi spoke with sadness, most of them are laced with malice or death, sometimes mockery and even happiness – sadist. He stared at the woman who was clearly crying. Tears are dropping continuously at the man's dead body while still holding his hand and squeezing it hard, as if it will wake him up. Looking around to find the man's soul, he spotted him near the tree he was perch up. He moves right in front of him, surprising the soul. He appears peaceful at least.

"I won't harm you." The soul smiled. Attempting to perform the "soul burial" the soul stops him. "Please, before you take me, can you do me a favor?" he asked looking at him. Byakuya raised his eyebrow at this but, he still nods. Happy at his answer, he looks at the crying woman not far away from them. "Don't let someone harm her. See to it she comes home safely. Please…" He pleaded. Sighing he nodded, and then perform the ritual. As the soul disappeared, he slowly approaches the crying woman until he stops right in front of her and stare at her form.

She shivered and he was shocked as she speaks again. "Who are you?" She can see him.

This wasn't supposed to happen. Their mission was just simple – infiltrate a shack near the borders of Yukigakure, rescue the Daimyo's son and leave. But that didn't happen. Their mission – already failed as their charge was already dead. Right. Now after confirming that the daimyo's son is killed, they got spotted by an enemy nin that was a surprise to them. Not Good.

Now, as she and her squad running – more like what was left in her squad which consist of her – the Captain and the new recruit – Kaitou Shigeru. She knows, no, she is certain that right after witnessing those nins killed his teammates, he's now scared. She can see it. Apparently signing for ANBU was great but, now signing from it comes with a package – DEATH. Seems like he wasn't ready for that, looking at the nin right behind her, she signal for them to stop. Bewildered by his captain's order he voiced his opinion. "I don't think stopping is a good idea Taichou."

Sakura shakes her head "Listen. Go back to the village. You can go on your own right?" Shocked at what he heard, he was supposed to answer but was interrupted as a kunai was shot on their direction. Jumping from the projectile they both landed on a clearing, and suddenly surrounded by 9 Shinobis.

Well, thought about luck. Inner commented.

Shut up. You're not helping.

She needed to think fast, if not, well they will die. Not a good choice. Clearly, they had disadvantage.

9 fully equipped nin vs. 2 ANBU with limited supply of weapons = DEAD.

9 fully equipped nin with a S-class missing nin as leader vs. 2 ANBU with limited supply of weapons = DOUBLE DEAD.

Shit. She felt helpless right now. Why did she agree of taking new recruits in this mission? Oh yes, they predicted nins as their enemies but never a S-class one. Growling, she never expected this.

Well, expect the unexpected. Inner noted.

Right in front of her was Hidoi Amagaki – S-class missing nin hailing from Iwa. Listed in 3 Bingo books – in Iwa, Kiri and Konoha, melee combat specialist, has a lot of jutsu in his arsenal, Escape if encountered.

More like prayed if encountered.

God, she didn't need Inner's constant sarcasm now. She needed distraction so she can lead Kaitou out of the battle and leave for Konoha. Concentrating chakra on her right hand, she ran towards Hidoi, attepting to attack him. It seems he expected it and stood in his battle stance, but he didn't expect what she did later on – she puched the ground. Hidoi jumps out of the way while the not so intelligent nins – which was 2 was buried alive. As this was happening she shouted to Kaitou "Leave. NOW!" He hesitated at first but nods. "Stay alive Taichou." He left. "Give a little faith with your Taichou, kid." She muttered as she scans the area. So far, no enemy nins followed Kaitou. Good. Grabbing kunai in her holster, she grips it hard, not wanting it to slip. She still has 5 kunais and 3 shurikens at her disposal, she lost her tanto a while ago. With only 45% of chakra left, 7 enemy nins to kill with an S-class one, she smiled. "I'm sorry, Naruto."

Chapter 2 is 35% done as I drank another inspiration potion last night and today - coffee by the way - I may update as soon as I finish a chapter or as soon as inspiration potion last.

Thanks again.
