Hey all! I said a while back I was thinking about the continuation of the story, A walk in the woods. This would be that story, but with one major plot change! It's no longer a Hitsugaya fic, but a Kira fic!

Lol I'm writing a Kira fic and it's not even in Death Note. (Haha!)

Warning, this story is going to be really long. I'm currently writing chapter 12 and I might be about halfway done.

Anyway, Please enjoy!

Disclaimer-I do not own Bleach, the characters, the story or plot points, or anything else that could be seen within as interesting. Wow, it sucks to admit that.

Chapter 1

She sat on the top most branches of the large maple tree, smelling the earthen scent that the tree produced and looked at the world around her. It had been a few years since she'd been out here, this close to civilization, and honestly it frightened her. She'd been into town a few times in her young existence, and had been taught about fighting from friends of hers that had been in the central village. It had sounded interesting, but not enough to get her out of her home. It was great in here. The trees, the animals that wandered, There was a gorgeous waterfall a little farther out than she was now, and she considered going to take a bath after her curiosity ended about seeing how the village was doing.

She sighed, shaking her head at her own lack of bravery and turned, headed out to the crisp waters that suddenly seemed all the more tempting.

She sank down, the water from the falls so much cooler than the water she was in. There were hot springs surrounding the falls, each way too hot to climb into, but it warmed the water here to a tipid temperature instantly. She sighed. It was a lot warmer than last time and she wondered if the falls had worn away the earth between the pool and the springs.

"Hey!" She heard and turned, her heart leaping into her throat. "I didn't think that someone so beautiful would have found their way out here!" She watched the man as he wandered closer, keeping in mind where her cloths were. "You want to relax together?" She backed out of the water, her heart pounding so hard she could feel it in her hands. "I have to go…" She backed to the opposite edge of the water, grabbing her cloths.

He was there in an instant, his hands on her shoulders, holding her still. "Why the rush?" He started to lower his hand and she screamed, punching him hard enough in the face that the blood flew a few feet back. He jumped up and glared, stepping forwards menacingly. "Hon, that was a bad move." She reached up grabbing her sword from the rocks above and frowned, watching for his next move.

He smiled and reached down into the water, grabbing his sword from his hip. "You're not the only one who can fight…" He stepped forwards before running at her, only to find her tossing her sword back to the rocks as she grabbed him by the back of the head, using his own momentum to smash him face first into the rocks behind her.

While he was distracted she jumped up and got dressed, grabbing her sword she was ready to run but he was a little faster than she'd thought. She turned as he'd grabbed her arm and grabbed his arm, twisting so fast that it was a audible snap when the bone reached it's limit. The man fell to the ground, screaming before looking back up at her. "If you touch me again, I'll end this quickly."

He reached up and grabbed her ankle, looking up at her, his broken arm cradled before him. "You're about to die, girly. Then you won't contest me anymore."

She stepped back, eyes widening as she reached up with her arms. He'd noticed her hair fell from the tight bun behind her, but that was the last thing he saw till he woke later.

"Hey!" His wife spoke, thrilled that he'd gained consciousness. "Are you alright? They found you in the woods, we couldn't find what had happened."

His eyes widened as he realized that whatever she'd done, she was right. She'd ended it quickly. "I was attacked in the woods. There was some woman who jumped out and attacked me."

It was only 24 hours before there were shinigami wandering through the woods, looking over every little area. The one who had complained to the shinigami stood back and grinned, knowing that they'd kill her.

Normally the shinigami wouldn't be interested in something like this, just a small time woman attacking people in the woods, but when the man had explained what had happened Kempachi's eyes opened. It had definitely gotten his attention. Hitsugaya frowned, shaking his head. "This doesn't interest me. I have REAL work to do."

"But Taicho, if she knocked him out without touching him there's now saying how powerful she is. We do have some right to go and help out the weaker-" Hitsugaya sighed, laying his head on his hand. "You're not going to stop pestering me till I say yes, are you? Fine, I'll go." She smiled, rubbing his head. "Arigatou, Taicho."

"Matsumoto, don't do that." He frowned, running his hands through his hair.

He found himself at the waterfall which the guy had mentioned and looked around, trying to find out what had happened. He could tell that the attack had started in the water, the splashes of the water on the rocks were still wet. He walked around and looked for footprints, noticing that she had been backing away before he'd fallen over. He sighed, standing. He'd attacked her.

Hitsugaya stood, looking at her footprints running into the woods. "Hey, Matsumoto," He sighed into the microphone by his cheek. "Go back and tell the guards to arrest the guy who made the complaint. He'd attacked her. I'm following her to see if she's alright." Matsumoto spoke unusually soft. "Oh, Hai, Taicho."

It was nearly instantaneously that he found her, shifting behind the tree in front of him. He looked over and saw her eyes widen as she turned to run. "Wait!" He called, but she didn't. He followed quickly, using Shunpo to catch up to her instantly.

"Please, just leave me alone!" She backed away. Hitsugaya was easily able to catch back up with her, realizing quickly that she was at a Shunpo speed as well. She frowned, ricocheting off of a nearby tree up above his head. He looked up but was blinded by the sun. He stopped and looked up, surprised. She was an expert at avoiding. The one that attacked her had to be pushing her really hard to make her fight him. He turned to walk away before noticing her in the trees above him.

"I know he attacked you. I came out to see if you were alright." She called back down to him, he could sense the hesitance in her voice. "I'm fine."

"Please, come down so that I can check." She sighed, but came down from the tree.

He looked her over, her black hair held tightly in a bun by a single hair stick. There were a few stray strands that stuck out, but her eyes were downcast. She looked afraid to meet his gaze.

"You look too young to be on this hunt." She frowned, her eyes only reaching as high as his knees. He frowned as he spoke again. "Hunt?"

"I've been attacked three times today, starting with the man with the broken arm." Hitsugaya sighed, nodding. "I apologize for that. Many of the shinigami don't look for many details. It looked like you were attacked while bathing." She nodded, wrapping her arms around herself. She was small in stature, maybe five foot six, one hundred and twenty pounds, he could tell from her cloths that she was one of the more feral of the spirits. Probably lived out in the woods, never came to the village. "You didn't hurt anyone else, did you?"

"There was one, he's unconscious, but he'll be fine." Hitsugaya nodded and walked over to her. "Your clothing is interesting. What is it?"

"I made it from pressing some of the flowers around here. It's almost like paper." Her eyes were curious, even Hitsugaya could tell, but she wouldn't look up at him. "Why won't you look at me?"

"Every time someone looks at me today, I get attacked. I don't like to fight, I just want to be left alone." Her voice was fearful as Hitsugaya heard the clicking before the voice in the headset. "We have to be careful! This monster took down Kempachi Taicho!" Hitsugaya froze, looking down at her again. He reached up, hitting the button. "The search is called off. She was attacked, and I can tell she's not a violent person. She was defending herself."

"From Kempachi- Never mind... Order obeyed."

Hitsugaya frowned, looking her over. "How long have you been out here?" He bent down, taking her arm as if looking for an injury.

"I don't really know, I was abandoned out here as a baby. There were others, but they all left me." Her voice was so small, so fragile that Hitsugaya grimaced at the sound. "You showed great ability today. Have you ever thought of becoming one of the shinigami?" She shook her head.

"There's nothing they have that I need." Hitsugaya looked at her, frowning. "But this, living like a ghost, never seen or heard, is this really what you want? Wouldn't it be better for you to have a purpose? Something to look forward to?"

She looked up, finally looking him in the eyes. She was about to say something when she stalled. "Your eyes..." Her pure blue eyes were surprised by his. She returned her gaze to the ground. "My purpose is to live, I don't need the pampering and such from that life."

"What about friends? Someone to greet and be able to smile with?" She looked down.

"People don't like me. They wouldn't become friendly with me." Hitsugaya smiled at her. "I have."

She looked up at him, surprised by his words. She knew that he wasn't like the others she'd met before, he was kind. He was gentle. Maybe she'd been wrong. She stood quickly and looked in the direction of her house.

There really was a chance for a better life. A chance for friends. She nodded as she turned back to him.
