Chapter 1
xXxXx
Yuki dodged again, ducking under the tentacle slashing her way. Bright red hot pain flared up over her face as the tentacle sliced her skin. She twirled away, long tresses of white hair swimming around her. Her zanpaktou held aloft in her sweat-drenched hand kept the Hollow away from her.
Yuki stared up at the Hollow before her with grey eyes and scowled. It seemed to have some kind of rapid healing ability and had just brushed away all the other shinigami that had opposed it. They all lay around the field where her group had encountered the Hollow, all unconscious or unable to continue fighting. Yuki herself wasn't so well off either. A deep slash over her left shoulder marked the first cut it had made and the puncture wound on her stomach marked the second. Her face was the last place. The big problem was that she was starting to tire, but Yuki was glad her strength lay in evasion, agility and speed, otherwise she would have quickly ended up like the unconscious shinigami around her.
Yuki dodged another quill from its arms and slashed downwards, pushing the Hollow away from her fallen comrades.
She was the only one left out of her group still conscious and in fighting conditions and she was determined to stay that way and protect her team..
Just a few more minutes.
Yuki knew her taicho was on his way so all she had to do was hold out just a bit longer until he got here. Just before the Hollow had been able to breach their defences, one of the younger shinigami had been sent to get reinforcements. And not seconds ago Yuki had felt the tell-tale tingle of her taicho's reiatsu reaching her senses.
Yuki ducked again as the Hollow attacked but the quill still grazed her right arm while the force hit her straight on. She went tumbling away straight into a tree and lay there dazed before she remembered her downed comrades. She pulled herself up with much difficulty and limped over to the space between her friends and the Hollow.
The Hollow blinked owlishly at her before it laughed, "Why don't you just give up, little shinigami? Your body is already broken."
Yuki stumbled a bit before righting herself and tightening her grip on her zanpaktou. "Never," she growled.
She watched the hollow laugh and mentally steeled herself for another fight when suddenly there was a flash of snowy white in the corner of her eye.
Her taicho had come.
With another flash-step her taicho stood before her and she felt all the anxiety in her slip away. She dimly felt other shinigami land all around her and start carting off the unconscious to Unohana-taicho, but her eyes stayed on her taicho.
With a quick and clean upward slash, her taicho broke through the Hollow's defence and mask. Still screaming, the Hollow dispersed into red flecks that drifted into the air.
Her taicho slipped his sword back into place before turning to her. She felt her knees give way and just before her face became acquainted with the ground, small but strong hands held her up.
"You did very well. Without you they would surely have died. Sleep now and let 4th squad take care of you," her taicho whispered to her.
"Hai, taicho," she whispered as she looked into his eyes. He smiled softly at her before handing her over to the 4th squad members waiting. She never took her eyes off her taicho and had to strain to see him when they flash-stepped her away. When she couldn't see him anymore she tracked him with her zampaktou's special tracker ability. Even that slipped out of her grasp when she entered the 4th squad's hospital.
Just then Yuki realized she had done something heart-breaking.
She had fallen in love with her taicho.
With her Hitsugaya-taicho.
The unseated officer of the 10th squad blinked away tears.
