It had been only been a few weeks since the Winter War, a few weeks since the imprisonment of Aizen and a few weeks since a large number of Shinigami were heavily injured. In that time the members of the Gotei 13 worked hard to restore things; restore their members to full health, restore the peacefulness and it had been going well but things never last do they?
Punch, punch, kick and dodge. The familiar routine had been embedded into the young girl's mind since she was young and had only been reinforced with the constant training she had found herself doing over the past few years.
When she was younger, Yuki had found herself dependent on martial arts as a defence against those cruel enough to hurt her physically. She couldn't do anything about the names they whispered behind her back, all she could do was ignore them, but when some boys tried to beat 'the demon' up, her father stepped in and insisted that she learned to defend herself.
Of course, when she stood up for herself against the bullies it was Yuki who got reprimanded and it was the bullies who got the sympathy. Her father used to say that people were scared of anything different; did that mean they were scared of Yuki? Her snow white hair and blood red eyes were scary but if anyone cared to look past that they would see a kind young girl, one who was so desperately alone.
As Yuki's thoughts trailed to her childhood, her punches faltered, it was a much simpler time then. She may have been picked on but she had her family; her mother, father and of course her younger sister. Now Yuki was truly alone, living in some abandoned warehouse, ignored by those on the street and in shops. Even her own mother didn't acknowledge her eldest; she hadn't said a word to her since her 16th birthday. Yuki had finally started to recover from her father's death that caused them to move to Karakura Town two years ago then out of the blue, her own mother refused to acknowledge her existence. Only Kimoko, her baby sister, talked to her when she saw her which wasn't often. Yuki refused to put her in any danger from the monsters that seemed to hunt Yuki down from time to time.
Now Yuki lived in the abandoned part of town, full of derelict warehouses, in hope that one day soon the monsters would stop coming after her and that her mother would finally acknowledge her existence once again.
