"Rina … you're never alone"

PRELUDED

As my eyes closed, I saw him with his back to me, sword drawn in a protected position in front of him and me. I knew something bad was about to happen. He turned to look at me, but only for a brief second, I saw his face with a pained look and a tear running down from his beautiful eyes, and I knew… I had to fight back.

I keep running, knowing I was too weak to finish the fight. He followed me down the street and through the warehouse. It was too dark for me to see where I was going but as I tripped over something, he leaped for the last strike.

As I woke up people were surrounding me. They keep asking "Are you ok!" and "What's your name?" At first, I couldn't understand what they were saying, but then I became alert and started to hiss in pain but then I realized there was no pain or if there was, I couldn't feel it. "That's weird " I thought, "I thought I was just in a battle? ". Then someone ask me again "What's your name?" that time I answered, "Rina… Rina Amarante" I whispered. " Rina, are you ok you look pretty beat up? ", "I'm ok", I responded with out thinking. After they were done asking questions, they helped me home and left.

I decided to take a shower to wash off before I eat. When I got out an hour later, I looked in the mirror to see the damage of the previous battle, but to my surprise there was none. The only scar was a long one all the way done my face, and I knew that would never go away. Nor did I want it to; I needed it to remind me of that night and the wanting for revenge.

Remembering that day was very painful but for along time now it was the only dream I had when I closed my eyes. When I woke up I was very tense. I could barely move. "What the hell is going on?" I went outside to see if there was a menos, but there wasn't any. "This is weird? There's something here and I know it!" so I took a walk down the road and felt that strange spiritual pressure again. Then it hit me… "There's a Captain here! Wait… why is there a Captain here? I'm the… well was the only Captain to come here. Oh well whatever it is I'll leave it to them." I continued my walk through the town when I felt a very huge spiritual pressure. I've never felt so much in one area at once! So I decided to go look, then I saw it… "A human? No it cant be. It just appeared through a portal in the sky. It's not a hollow; I know that for a fact." As I got closer, I felt that Captain's Reiatsu again. So I got closer and I saw people, well not people but kids. There were only three of them that looked like adults. Worse, they all were getting their butts kicked by this stranger. I signed, "Might as well help them…" I tookGringo out of my pocket where I keep him until I need him, out, put one in my mouth, and swallowed. When I got out, I turned and whispered so the people wouldn't hear me "stay hidden and quite." "Yea whatever" he said and sank to sit and wait on the ground. I hid my Reiatsu like I always do so they wouldn't sense me, and started to flash step to the strange being. When I got close, I waited for the right moment to attack.

The time came when they were all out of breath and on the ground, heavy breathing. So I ran and took out my Zanpakutō, Hebinoyou Himemiya. When I got close enough and could feel them watching me, I yelled, " Fall to the ground ... Hebinoyou Himemiya" it did just so! With my arm out stretched, I let go of Hebinoyou Himemiya and it transformed beautifully into a snake and coiled around my arm. The string on the end of Hebinoyou Himemiya came up and tied my long periwinkle color hair in a ponytail so you could see the gray lightning bolt tattoo on the side of my hair. Then the person, after looking over me, asked, "What Captain are you?" this question surprised me. My eyes got big, I quickly thought of something to say, "Why do you think I'm a Captain?" "By your Reiatsu." "Did I forget to remember to hide it again?" I thought. I thought for a minute then said," Well I'm not. So who are you?". "I'm a Arrancar; well I'm really an Espada. Espada Number 2. My name is Baraggan Luisenbarn." "Well that's good to know I always like to know the name of the people I kill." "Ha Ha, do you really think you could defeat me?" "Yes. I know I can!" then I charged.

I have to admit he was fast but I was faster. I killed him in less than ten minutes. When I was sure he was dead, I drifted to the ground and put my shikai away, I stood there for a minute because he cut through my arm good. Once I regained control of myself I flash stepped back to my body before the people could get over what just happened. When I got back home, I did my best to repair my arm but not knowing much about medicine and I didn't do a very good job of it either. After I fixed my arm the best I could do, I was so tired that I skipped eating and went to bed.

When the gang got to Orihime's place, they started to talk about what happened earlier that day.

Toshiro: "Who was that girl? Her Reiatsu was much more then mine! I've never seen that before."

Orihime: "Who ever she is, she's very pretty!

Renji and Ichigo: "Yes she is…"

Orihime: "Did you guys say something?"

Renji and Ichigo: "No."

Rangiku and Rukia: *stares at them*

Uryu and Chad: "She was a very good fighter!"

Toshiro: "I'm …um… going to take a walk."

Rangiku: "I'll go to."

Toshiro: "No I'll be fine on my own."

Rangiku: "Ok… Captain."

Ichigo: "I wonder what's wrong with Toshiro?"

Renji: "Who knows? "

Toshiro, who's for some unknown reason is sitting on the roof of Orihime's house. As he looks to the sunset he wonders who and why that girl came to save them. As he's up there, he's soul pager goes off telling him there's a hollow near by. " Rangiku, I'll go fight it. Stay here with the others." But what he didn't know was that no one heard him nor did anyone's soul pager go off. Only his did. Also he didn't know that the hollow only set his pager off on purpose… to kill them off one by one.
