Cupid's Arrows
Chapter 1: This Is My Time Of The Year
- - -
Karakura Town: 2:34 pm December 5th
A young woman walked absentmindedly through the streets of Karakura with bag slung over her shoulder, and a small suitcase. Her white/silver hair tied into a ponytail in the back of her head, her bright green eyes scanning her surroundings with interest. She wore a pair of blue black jeans, perfectly hugging her legs, and a long sleeved black and white stripe shirt revealing almost every curve she had to offer. Though she was tomboyish, she wasn't ugly, but she never thought of herself as beautiful, I mean everyone had their flaws.
She sighed lightly. "Hm...Ryuken-san told me to come to his Hospital...I wonder why? I haven't seen him for eight years..." she was Inuyuki (Snow dog) Hanan. Currently 18, and her father always said he trusted Ryuken, so she came to know him like another father figure even though Ryuken could be somewhat cold hearted. But yes, her father left this world when Inuyuki was ten, and her mother had been taken when Inuyuki was born.
She smiled a bit brightly. "But I have a feeling..." a red gleam came from the cross that was hanging on a thin but sturdy black string that went around her neck. "Something amazing is going to happen. Don't you think...Aotestu Ookami (Red Iron Wolf)?"
A voice in her head chuckled, a kind female voice. "I think so as well, Yuki-chan."
Ryuken Ishida shook his head, reading another file, no the problem wasn't the file. But with this stupid Soul Reaper, Isshin. "What are you doing here again, Isshin?"
Isshin Kurosaki chuckled (FYI, Isshin is in his gigia.). "Your still annoyed when I come around!"
"Beat it, Kurosaki. I'm not in the mood for your antics."
The black haired man shrugged. "Fine then be that way. I'm just here to see little Yuki-chan."
"Of course, you just had to be here when I said she was coming, didn't you?"
Giving a smug look the Soul Reaper nodded. "Yup."
Ryuken sighed. "Stay if you like, just don't bother me."
"Hm...I wonder what that kid of yours is gonna think..." Isshin sat back in a chair, pulling his arms behind his head. "When he sees that he's not the last one."
Ryuken made no comment, only nodded, and signed his paperwork. Isshin chuckled. Even on Earth, you were still cursed with paperwork.

"What?! I'm lost...!" Inuyuki groaned again. She had a very bad sense of direction, well who'd blame her? She hadn't been in Karakura for eight years.
Aotestu Ookami, -Aotestu for short- sighed. "Maybe you should try calling Ryuken-san?"
'Nah, I don't want to bother Ryukie-san...'
"He'll kill you if you use that nickname around him."
'Eh? Ive used it when I was a kid, and I'm still here today! So nothing to worry about.'
"Hmm? Yuki-chan, someone is trying to speak to you."
Snapping out o her thoughts, the young woman turned and smiled. "Oh..sorry..."
"Oh, that's okay. You looked lost, can I help you find something?"
It was a girl though she was a bit shorter than Inuyuki she looked to be about 17... she had black raven hair and blue eyes, and she wore a yellow jacket and a pair of jeans. Behind her was a tall read head with tattoos for eyebrows and he looked annoyed. He wore a black jacket and a pair of baggy blue jeans.
"Um...General Hospital."
The girl chuckled. "Wow. You're pretty far from there."
The red head sighed. "Come on, Rukia...we don't have time for this. Strawberry's expecting us..."
Inuyuki raised an eyebrow. "Strawberry? You mean as in, Ichigo?"
Rukia nodded. "You know him?"
Inuyuki nodded and gave a smug look. "He owes me twenty bucks."
Renji scoffed. "You too?"
Inuyuki stuck her hand out at Rukia. "I'm Inuyuki Hanan. You can call me Yuki."
"Rukia Kukichi. This red head is Renji Abarai." she jerked her thumb back at the red head.
"Nice to meetchya."
"So...just point me in the direction to the Hospital...you guys look like you need to get where you're going...so..."
"Oh....just walk down three blocks, make a left on Third street and it should be in plain sight." Rukia said.
Inuyuki nodded her head in thanks. "Thanks Rukia. Maybe I'll see you guys at school? You guys go to Karakura High, right?"
They both nodded.
Inuyuki gave a toothy smile. "Great!" and turned on her heels. "Bye Ruki-chan! Bye Tomato-boy!"
"WHAT?!"
- - -
"Wow! I found it! Yes!" Inuyuki cheered running with her suitcase trailing lightly behind her.
The clerk, intern or whatever looked up at her. "Do you have an appointment- Wait...OH MY GOD! IT'S YUKI-CHAN-CHAN!!"
Inuyuki chuckled. "Hey Maki-chan. Long time no see?"
Makin Hashabaria long time intern for Ryuken and ex-part-time babysitter for Inuyuki, twenty-eight years old. She has brown long hair, and pink stripes down her bangs she has brown eyes to match.
"Wow! You've turned so...beautiful!"
Inuyuki chuckled, sheepishly scratching her head. "Um...thanks...?"
"No really! Do you have a boyfriend yet? Are you seeing anyone? I wanna be the first to know!"
Inuyuki shook her head. "Nah. I'm not into boys. I told you I'm going to continue my art career and one day..." Que dramatic stars and fireworks. "SHAKE TAKESHI OBATA'S (The Artist of Death Note and Hikaru No Go. And many others.) HAND!"
Makin sighed. "Otaku-Yuki-chan?"
Inuyuki nodded. "Yup!"
"Okay then. Welcome back home, Yuki-chan!" she cheered and pressed her finger to a button and spoke into a speaker.
'Home...?'
"Ryuken-san, Hanan-san is here to see you."
"Alright, Hashabaria-san send her up." Ryuken's 'so excited' voice said back.
Inuyuki bowed her head. "See ya later, Maki-chan!"
"Alright! Text me later!"
Inuyuki nodded and trotted down the halls. Finally reaching her destination.
Ishida Ryuken. Read the sign. She sighed. 'Boring sign...' and tapped softly on the door.
"Come in, Hanan-san..." Again, Ryuken's 'excited' voice.
She trotted on in. Ryuken reading the newspaper at his desk. "Hello, Ryukie-san! Long time no see!"
Ryuken sighed. "I would tell you not to use that name. But it would be hopeless."
Then feeling a presence she darted her head over. "Oh! Kuro-Kuro-san!" Her nickname for Isshin, and Isshin gave a toothy grin. "Yo, Yuki-chan! My, my! You've grown!"
Inuyuki nodded. "Thanks...I guess? How's Strawberry?"
"Great. Still orange, and he's got himself a girlfriend!"
Inuyuki looked shocked. "Really?! It's about time that Strawberry lightened up! Who is she?"
"Inoue Orihime!"
Inuyuki nodded. "Ori-chan?! Wow! Tell Strawberry I said congrats!"
"Will do!" Isshin turned his head over to Ryuken. "Gotta go, see ya later, Ryuken. Come visit, Yuki-chan!" and Isshin trotted out the door softly slamming it behind him. Inuyuki giggled.
"Hanan-san..." she turned her head and Ryuken placed down the newspaper and intertwined his fingers under his chin. "Do you have an idea why I called you here?"
She shook her head. "Not a clue."
"Hmm...I see you still wear that thing around your neck...why not wear it on your wrist?"
She shrugged. "Aotestu-chan doesn't like it. I don't either, she's to heavy to keep on my wrist."
"Hmm...well...I called you here because I believe you are ready to hear something I've kept from you for years."
She raised and eyebrow.
"Your father, knowing that I wouldn't tell you on my own....made me promise to tell you when your were older."
"Eh? What could it possibly be...?"
Ryuken sighed. "You're not the last Quincy, Inuyuki Hanan."
