sandface: I told you it'd be out this week! enjoy it, and for those who haven't read the first half, please read Torn Between Two Worlds, so that this makes sense.

__________________________________________________

It was merely mid morning, and some would probably say it was just a normal day. The captain's meeting had just ended, but the 12th captain was asked to stay behind. An evil grin came over his face when asked that, since he knew what he would be told.

"Let me guess, you're reconsidered my offer?" Kurotsuchi asked.

"Yes, but only because of the reports of a second one. You may now experiment on either one if possible to catch either of them" Yamamoto replied.

"I bet the younger one will be easier to catch, but I want to get a hold of the older one" Kurotsuchi thought aloud. His dream had come true now; this is what he had wanted for almost twenty two years.

"Just whatever you do, don't let the 10th division find out. You know exactly what would happen if Hitsugaya's beloved Hisana became an experiment" Yamamoto said before leaving.

Elsewhere in the human world

The two glared at each for some time, and then slowly drew their sword. Everyone gathered around quickly to see the long waited battle. The two growled like beasts, and then got ready to release their blades.

"Skin your claws in, Shiro-Kuro Neko!" "Burn all, Hidama!" the two yelled before beginning their fight.

"Hold it!!! Ichigo for the last time stop placing bets on our kids' fights!!" Rukia growled once she walked thru the door.

The large black and white cat sat down and glanced at the beast in front of him. A large white wolf with red and gold at the tips of each hair looked scared out of her mind at the sight of her master's mother. Everyone else ran and jumped out the window out of fear of what the small Shinigami might do to them.

"Why do you every week have to stop the fight?" Ichigo asked.

"Because if I don't I have to clean blood off the carpet for hours, and besides everyone else makes a mess of the place" Rukia growled back.

Each week the two siblings would have an all out battle between each other, and a few Shinigami would come by to watch the fight. Hisana sighed a bit, and released sealed her sword. Her younger brother, Kaien growled like a wolf, and then sealed his as well. He had very high fighting skills, but never would be able to use them any other time than to fight his older sister.

"If you won't let us fight then at least let me kill some of the hollows, I'm bored to death" Kaien snapped.

For a minute mother and son locked glares, until Kaien gave in and slinked back to his room. Hisana chuckled a bit, and followed him, since the two had to share rooms. Back when she was twelve was when Kaien was born, and was given his name because he looked so much like the fallen 13th vice captain she had heard about. He had spiked black hair, and light brown eyes that at times seemed gold.

"You're lucky since you got to fight Arrancar! I'd like to do something more than collect dust" Kaien said.

"When I was fighting them I didn't exactly feel lucky" Hisana replied. "That reminds me I have to take Kento for an hour" she added to herself before slipping back into her body and leaping out the window.

On the weekends she had to take care of a young three year old named Kento, and she had almost forgotten this day. Once she had picked up the young boy he nearly dragged her to an ice cream cart a few minute outside his house. Hisana remembered the old ice cream cart from fifteen years back. That one day was so nice, and yet now everything was so wrong. After a few minutes of walking around town with the small boy Hisana heard a crash sound and stopped dead in her tracks. Kento stopped as well, and clung to her leg in fear. Again there was another crash, and this time Hisana wasn't going to let that monster go.

"Kento, stay here" she growled.

In a split second Hisana jumped out of her body and ran toward the crashing sound. Why must she always do this? Kento wondered as he watched her run off. Within seconds she found the source of the noise. Hisana stared at the dark alley way for a minute, and then slowly walked down it. Since the alley way was so narrow she knew the crashing sound wasn't a hollow, it had to be a Shinigami. Why don't they ever learn? Hisana wondered as she closed in on the Shinigami.

Even though she had nothing to do with Soul Society, she and her family still would kill the hollows that from time to time came around. Though some Shinigami thought they should now be in charge of killing the hollows in Karakura town, and every time they tried Hisana chased them out. Since it was so dark she could tell that the Shinigami was about her height, but not another detail. Quietly Hisana drew her slim black blade, and at the same time the other Shinigami did the same thing.

Hisana growled a bit, and swung her blade at her opponent. They did the same, only their attack had more force, causing her blade to come flying back toward her. The two for a minute continued to clash swords, until both had had enough and charged at each other. The swords clashed together again, but now the two stood face to face. Finally just a bit of light came into the dark alley, revealing who was who. Both stood in shock to see who they had been fighting.

"Hi-Hisana?" Hitsugaya asked.

"S-Shiro-ch-chan?" Hisana asked.

Neither were 100% sure if they were right about who was who, since they hadn't seen each other in fifteen years. After a second of staring at her old friend Hisana knew this had to be him, who else had white hair and green eyes? She dropped her weapon and hugged her old friend so tight to the point he couldn't breathe anymore. Hitsugaya then knew that this was his old friend; no one else would drop their only weapon and hug him like she was. He too dropped his sword and hugged her back. He missed her more than ever, and was beyond happy to see her once again.

"Hey! Remember me?" Kento asked as he watched the two Shinigami.

Hisana let go of Hitsugaya, and then remembered that she had been watching Kento. Once Hitsugaya saw the small boy all the happiness in him left in one second flat. The looks of the small child showed who his parents were. Kento had extremely dark gray eyes and burnt orange hair that looked more brown than orange.

"Sorry Kento! This is my friend I told you about, Shiro-chan!" Hisana said. "Wait a minute... what are you doing here anyway?" she added.

"We were just passing threw the town, but Matsumoto saw some shop and ever since then I've been trying to find her" Hitsugaya replied quickly, slightly showing that it wasn't the truth.

Then why were you in the alley way behind my home? Hisana wondered. Not long after that Hitsugaya said he had to continue looking for his vice captain, and left quickly. Hisana sighed a bit, and then took Kento home. She knew that the hour was nearly up, so once she had gotten home the hour would be up. After a minute or so she was in front of his house. Kimiko greeted her and took her son back from her friend.

"Thanks for taking him" Kimiko said.

"No problem" Hisana replied as she slinked toward the door.

Kimiko stopped her from leaving, since she had noticed an odd look on her friend's face. She had remembered see that look on her friend before, but it had been years since she had seen it; it mere smile.

"Why are you smiling, you never smile!" Kimiko laughed.

"She takes after her father... he never smiled either" Orihime added in her sleep. She had been asleep on the couch that was near the two.

"I... saw an old friend that's all" Hisana replied while still trying to leave. Each week she found herself stuck in that house for hours.

"Really? Who?" Kimiko asked.

"Shiro-chan" Hisana said once she finally got her friend to let go of her arm.

Hisana then left, since her brother had probably moved the duct tape that divided their room. Kimiko smiled just a bit, and glanced down at Kento. So that explains that smile, she thought as she walked Kento to his room.

---

Night fell not long after Hisana got home. Luckily Kaien didn't move the duct tape, but if he had he would have been wrapped in it. Now that the room was empty and quiet, Hisana pulled out her old sketch pad. It was near full of sketches, but as long as there was one page left she wouldn't get a new one. She flipped thru the many pages, and remembered the reason for each one. Hisana stopped when she got an old one that was her favorite, and stared at the details for a minute.

"He doesn't look much different" Hisana muttered as she looked at the photo of the sleeping Shinigami.

A slight knock on her door snapped her back into reality. Hisana glanced at the doorway to see that her father was standing outside her door. She knew what he wanted, and knew that if she didn't give in then for the rest of eternity she would still have him asking the same question. A restaurant on the other side of town every weekend had karaoke night, and each week he asked if she wanted to join their group, each week it was a no.

"I already know the question" Hisana said as she stood up and set her sketch pad down.

"So the answer is the same?" Ichigo asked.

"Well... we ran him out of town two years ago, so sure why not" Hisana replied just to shock her father.

Ichigo merely nodded and left. While yes it was nice that finally she agreed after over a year of asking, it still irked him to think that she still avoided places because of him. Once her father was gone Hisana closed up her sketch pad after one last look at the photo she had done fifteen years back. As she set it back down the words of Shiro-Kuro rang in her ears as if he was yelling it to her; it won't work with one, but the other it will. It wasn't until now that the feline's comment made perfect sense.

Elsewhere in Soul Society

After a few hours Hitsugaya returned to his division only to find his vice-captain repainting everything in sight. Each year she would think that the rooms needed to be changed, so she and as many others she could rope into it her plan would repaint all the walls.

"Blue now?" Hitsugaya asked as he walked by the group of painting vice-captains.

"Well I thought it would be better than the yellow" Matsumoto replied as she glanced back at captain.

Matsumoto noticed something seemed odd about her captain and stared for some time at him until it clicked what seemed so strange. Around the time she figured it out the rest of her group begged for a break, since they all were tired and covered in paint.

"Taicho... why exactly did you want to go out alone today?" Matsumoto asked as she tried to get some of the paint out of her hair. "Did you go looking for her?" she added.

Hitsugaya didn't meet her gaze, but replied "This time I found her. She looks a lot different after so long"

"If you found her then why do you seem so sad?" she asked.

"She had a little kid with her... and you know exactly who's it was" he replied before leaving again.

---

Hisana was getting ready to beat her head into a wall because of agreeing to join the group. The same person had been up singing for the past two hours, and their voice seemed more like a screech. Everyone else seemed like they were having fun, but she couldn't for a second find a single thing going on to be 'fun'.

"I think that this might be his last song, you should go up there!" Kimiko said.

"If it's not his last song I have a katana that will say otherwise, and you'd have to get me beyond drunk to touch that stage" Hisana growled back.

Kimiko knew the reason why her friend was so growling, and felt a bit sorry for dragging her to this place. There were more karaoke places, but she picked this one. Finally Hisana had had enough of this mess and went outside. Even outside the horrible voice carried to the point that you couldn't even here your own thoughts let alone anything else. Because of that Hisana crashed right into someone. She turned to apologize, and was in shock to see who she had crashed into.

"You can't be looking for your vice-captain here" Hisana laughed.

"Huh? Uhh... no I found her, I just... have the day off?" Hitsugaya wasn't the best at lying, and had to quickly think of something.

"Ok... hey, it's beyond boring in there, come on and stick around! Please!" Hisana begged like a little kid.

Hitsugaya agreed, but once he was dragged inside he began asking himself why he had agreed. At least it beat the horrible stench of paint fumes. And also he had never been able to say no to Hisana, even when she was a little two year old he couldn't say no to her. It wasn't long after that that Kimiko noticed that her friend was no longer annoyed, she seemed much happier.

"Hisana come on you gotta sing something!" Kimiko begged.

"No! Unless... Shiro-chan up for some singing?" Hisana asked jokingly.

The other three – Ichigo, Rukia and Orihime – laughed at the thought of those two on the stage trying to sing. Hisana stuck her tongue out at them, and then told Hitsugaya she was joking, since she truly wouldn't even go on stage even if he would go with her. For the rest of the night the six had fun, until a person at the bar made a comment.

"And she complained about him cheating, and that's exactly what she's doing now!" some girl said.

Hisana reached in her pocket and pulled out a small pill. The night was nice until that comment, and she didn't want to hear another thing come from that girl's mouth. Most of them tried to convince her to let it go, but not one person was winning. Hitsugaya had zero clue of why she was getting so mad over the comment until he got a better look at her hand. Finally Hisana listened to them and put the pill back in her pocket, though she reasoned with herself that the girl wasn't worth her time.

It wasn't much longer after that that the group went home. It had been a good couple of hours, so by now the paint stench had to be gone hopefully. As Hitsugaya walked away from the group he caught sight of the person who had made the comment earlier, and followed her for a minute or so, or at least until he thought the rest of the group wouldn't see him.

---

"Let's see... that's... Ha-ha, five more inches for me!" Kaien laughed as he laid down one last piece of tape.

Hisana opened one eye to see what her brother was doing, and noticed what his plan was. She quickly jumped up and ripped the tape away from him. He had set the tape where she could only walk from the door to her bed! Kaien apologized countless times, though he still ended up taped to the wall.

"Did ya hear what happened last night?" Kaien asked as he tried to wiggle his way out of the tape.

"No, what?" Hisana as she fixed her bed a bit better.

"Some stupid chick was found a couple blocks away from the karaoke place near death. She had huge gashes all over her that were made by a katana. And someone said they saw a white haired guy following her for a minute" Kaien told her.

"He... didn't... he wouldn't!" Hisana muttered in pure shock.

Kaien knew who she was thinking of, and began wondering too if he had been the one to nearly kill that girl. Though Kaien had only met one or two Shinigami, he had heard countless stories about all of them, but mainly from his sister one that she called Shiro-chan.

Quickly trying to think of something good to say, Kaien said "I heard from Mom that Neliel might have found Ishida finally"

"That's good to know, it's been over year now" Hisana replied.

A bit over a year back there had been a ten car pileup which had killed tons of people, but one in particular had been lost. After Ishida had gotten killed in the car wreck Orihime had been horribly depressed, but luckily was beginning to get better. Since a few had made friends with him, a couple of Shinigami keep an eye out to see if they can find their old friend. They've figured up a way for anyone lost in either family to be returned to them; just as a Shinigami would get one, the lost one would be given a gigai and easily could return to their family.

"Here's something that'd be nice. If Neliel one day found Soken there, and left him in the worst district they had" Hisana growled with a bit of a laugh before leaving the room.

Kaien shook his head and managed to peal himself off the wall. Around two years back Soken and Hisana were engaged, but one cold dark night she found him with another woman, and nearly killed him. No one had seen him since that night, and knew they wouldn't ever. Kimiko once got a letter from her twin brother, saying that he wouldn't turn home until a picture of Hisana's grave was sent to him. I bet if your Shiro-chan found him he'd be dead, Kaien thought as he continued to rip tape off the floor.

"Nemu, get together as many from our division as possible to catch the girl, you know she won't be very easy to deal with" Kurotsuchi ordered.

"Yes Taicho, we'll leave in an hour to capture her. Would you like us to capture the boy as well?" Nemu asked.

"Yes... bring both of them to me" Kurotsuchi replied, unable to hide how happy he was that after so long he would finally have the specimen he had wanted for nearly twenty two years in his hands.
