I didn't make any Bleach characters, nor do I own them.

A strong gust of wind blew, blowing the red hair back into the woman's face, her blue eyes gazed ahead, giving a small smirk as a hole formed in the sky, large hands emerging from them. "...Now, now..we can't have that one eating away this small city.." Her hand gripped the hilt of her Zanpakutou, jumping off the lamp-post, then starting to flash-step over to her destination.
Renji yawned, staring off out the window as he waited for his phone to ring. "There haven't been any Hollows for a while.."
Kisuke nodded, sipping a hot cup of tea. "Mhmn. If you ask me, I'd think there were someone else taking care of them for you."
Renji blinked, "I'm sure Soul Society would inform me of any other Shinigami they may have sent out."
Kisuke shrugged, "I wouldn't bother much with it, maybe the Hollows are just..not hungry, or something.."
"You're a beasty little thing aren't you?" The woman yelled, dodging another strike from behind by the large Hollow. Her blade swung once more, hitting a shoulder of the Hollow.
"And you're a real pain, shinigami! I'll be sure to eat your soul slowly! Savor the flavor of victory!" The Hollow roared back, giving another blow to the woman, this time landing a hit, sending her back a few feet into the nearest tree.
The woman grunted loudly, her body sliding down the trunk and hitting the ground. "I'll make sure you never get that chance, you're far too ugly..I'd never let something so disgusting touch me.." She lifted her body back up, one arm stretching to hold herself up with the tree, only to hold up her sword, dodging another blow just barely, an end result being her cheek getting cut across.
"You're a real bitch..!"
RING-RING-RING!
"Finally!"
"Be careful.."
"Whisper, Mekura!" The woman yelled, putting her hand up in front of her face, holding up two fingers as she held her sword to point straight at the Hollow. The sword turned to a clear state, barely visible if not for the beam of light that had hit it at angle. The woman gave a small laugh, looking up at the hollow with a slight grin. "This is the end..any last words?"
"I'm not dead yet.."
Renji blinked, looking through the branches of a tree. 'So there is another Shinigami? I'll bet Kisuke knew all about this..' His eyebrow ticked slightly, but soon stopped as he blinked. He would've thought she had no sword, had he not seen the glint. "What an odd Zanpakutou.."
The Hollow rushed foreward, not wanting to give the woman any extra time. The womans eyes closed, sighing lightly. "Air crystalization level one, hault." With that said, the Hollow stopped where it was, it's body gaining a massive amount of weight on it. "Complete"
The Hollow grunted slightly, "The hell is this?"
The woman looked up at it, her eyes narrowing slightly. "When I reach level three..you're dead.." She continued, closing her eyes once more as one hand circled in front of her body. "Air crystalization Level two. Silent pain." She took a few steps forward, a hand shooting up as she walked forward. The air around the Hollow compressed itself, forming into sharp needle-like crystals, and with a small gesture, were sent into the Hollow's body, causing endless pain, so severe even the Hollow couldn't react. "Complete."
Renji stared in shock, her method..it was..nothing he had seen! It was so odd, he couldn't look away.
The woman's hand tightened around the hilt of her sword, holing it over her head, ready to strike the Hollow down. "Air crystalization level three, Doomed fate." She gave a small sigh, "This is the end--" Her eyes widened, feeling a sharp pain in her rib cage. Her eyes searched for the culprit, looking down to see a large claw-like object in her rib-cage. "How..could I have not sensed you..?"
The stench of another Hollow filled her nose, feeling it breath down her neck. "You were too busy with him.."
Renji stood in mid-leap. He had sensed the Hollow, but it had turned out to be quicker than him in this instance. He stared at the woman, who had gone into a state of shock, merely staring ahead and blinking at him.
'Foolish me..' she thought to herself, feeling her body numb, then collapse to the ground. "Incomplete."
"Oiy! You there! Hollow!" Renji yelled, giving the Hollows another thing to look at, distracting, he supposed. Of course, they looked, and the last thing they would ever remember were the words, "Howl, Zabimaru!"
"..Well, well Renji..what did you bring home? It was just a Hollow, did you have to knock out a bystander?" Kisuke shook his head slightly, watching Renji close the doors and walk over.
"Shut it..she's another Shinigami, she was ambushed by a Hollow while fighting another. I couldn't just leave her there!" Renji's eyebrow ticked, walking past him and into another room, slamming the door.
Kisuke laughed slightly, sipping a bit of tea from his cup before getting up, walking into the next room silently. He looked over at the woman, an eye widened, the other with the usual shadow. "Oh..She was sent here? That's unexpected."
Renji blinked, looking over at him, "You know her?"
Kisuke nodded, "Her Zanpakutou is very powerful..but, the most powerful part is her BanKai form..It's nearly as beautiful as she.." He blinked, "If I say so myself."
"You've seen it?" Renji asked, staring at him curiosly. "How?"
"I was once teamed with her, so I've seen it, yes..It was far too long ago. If I remember correctly, she refused the place of Vice Captain. Said it was too troublesome, and she didn't feel much like it." He sighed lightly, "She wasn't lazy..just hated how boring Sereitei was."
Renji sat down, bowing his head slightly. "These wounds should heal soon, right? Should we contact Soul Society?"
Kisuke shook his head, "No, she'll be around in a bit. Did you happen to find her Gigai, by any chance?"
Renji shook his head, "What's her name, anyway?"
"Suishou..Suishou Hikari..if I'm not mistaken..Tea?" Kisuke asked, handing him a small cup as he sat down, looking at the woman silently.
Renji took it, giving a short sigh.
"Ah..she's much more beautiful than when I last saw her..taller, as well..She used to be as tall as Rukia-san."
"She must've been really short then."
"I wasn't that short, Kisuke-kun..you're exaggerating again." Suishou sat up, grabbing her side. "Oiyoiyoiy..That Hollow..If I ever see another one.."
"You were that short, you barely came up to my throat.." Kisuke replied back, offering her a cup of tea as well. "It's about time you woke up, had Renji over here worried."
She blinked lightly, "Renji?" She turned her head, looking over at a red haired man, tattoos on his skin. He just waved, issuing a small hello.
"He saved you..you know?"
Renji blinked, realizing the woman was now practically jumping into his arms, practically choking him. "Oiy! Hey!"
"Ah! You saved me! So brave! I owe you my life! Renji-kun!"
Kisuke sighed lightly, "Eh..did I mention she was a very..friendly person?" He coughed lightly, putting a hand on Suishou's shoulder and pulling her back. She blinked lightly, taking a seat beside Kisuke.
She rubbed her neack, laughing nervously, "I'm sorry." She said politely, picking up the cup of tea, sipping it silently.
"It's alright.." Renji's cheeks reddened slightly, only to go away with a small yawn.
"Suishou, will you be resting here tonight? It's late.." Kisuke looked over at her, giving a sort of smile. "We have extra rooms, so it won't be a problem."
She gave a small nod, "Thank you, Kisuke-kun, that would be appreciated."
He nodded, his hands finding their ways into the sleeves of his kimono. "Ururu! Please come here!"
They heard a small, "Yes!" and footsteps, a small girl and young boy entering the room. "Can you show Ms. Suishou to her room?"
Ururu nodded, giving a small bow.
"Oiy! Freeloader!" Jinta yelled, staring at Suishou.
Renji looked up, an eyebrow ticking, "What?"
Jinta gave him a short look, "Not you, Idiot. That woman."
Both Renji and Suishou's vein pulsed, two fists slamming down on the boys head. "Shut it, boy!" They yelled simultaneously, the boy lying like a lump on the ground, a low groan coming from him.
"Idiot..Ah, well..Good night, Kisuke-kun, Renji-kun." She stretched lightly, stifling a yawn before standing up. "Ururu-chan, let's go.."
Ururu nodded, pulling her off to her room. "Okay!"
Renji was the next to go, pulling himself up, then walking off. "Eh, Goodnight, Kisuke.."
Kisuke nodded, then sipped his tea. He gave a short smirk as Renji disappeared, "I wonder..."
