The girl sighed, twirling a strand of hair. Summer was coming, a season that she did not particularly enjoy, though she could handle the heat very well. She placed a hand on her zanpaktou that was next to her. Only recently had she begun to use it for her legs and fists were easily formidable opponents. But things were changing. She felt it in the air. She knew that her zanpaktou, Soyala, was powerful and would definitely be needed for the times to come, but there was something apart of her that said her zanpaktou was wrong for her. It wasn't the right weapon of choice for her. Every time the voice in her head said it, she would answer with "Then what is?"

Usually, there wasn't an answer.

The girl stood, her legs stiff from sitting on them for so long. A light breeze flew around her, catching her hair and long sleeves of her Soul Reaper clothing. The air smelt of blossoms and freshness. Living things, like she. Due to her size and age, fifteen and five feet four inches, the girl tended to keep her zanpaktou on her back, unlike the other Soul Reapers who attached their weapons to their sides. Except one. The captain of the 10th Division, Toushiro Hitsugaya, or Hitsu as she called him.

Not to his face, though.

He too was young, but he was a captain, higher than her and deserved respect. She gave him respect in front of others and he himself, but to herself, she called him Hitsu.

She walked to the edge of the roof and stepped off, landing perfectly on her feet as if she was never on the roof. She walked silently, barely making any noise as she began to run down the corridors. Running was her therapy, her escape from the pressure and hassles of the Soul Society. Her feet padded lightly on the wooden floor, a whisper sound among the silence. Her legs, delicate and coated in lean muscle, propelled her up and over a building. She landed in a crouch position, her legs wide to balance her weight. Her breathing was heavy; her lungs trying to bring in as much oxygen as possible.

'Why am I breathing so heavily?' she thought, her hand lightly on the handle of her zanpaktou. 'A simple run like that shouldn't have done this to me.' She hadn't landed the simple jump right either. The girl got to her feet shakily, not understanding why her body was reacting so oddly.

"Ah. There you are. I've been looking for you everywhere."

Her body tensed, every muscles in her body preparing her to fight. The 'calm, innocent' voice sent her body into severe alert mode. She turned around slowly, widening her stance in preparation for battle. She knew it was foolish to presume that she would battle with this captain, but her blood boiled in hatred and disgust, not trusting the captain at all.

"I'm surprised," she said slowly, checking herself from drawing her zanpaktou.

Gin Ichimaru tilted, his smile never faltering. "Hm. Why?"

The girl's dark green eyes darted to Gin's lieutenant, Kira Izuru. Her body relaxed a fraction. She trusted and admired Kira; she even had affection for him. Although she despised Gin, Kira was different. The girl didn't know how, but she felt the difference between the two.

"Kira," the girl said, acknowledging the lieutenant in an effort to avoid the captain's question.

"Cora, it's good to see you," he replied formally.

Cora raised an eyebrow in question to his tone, but remained silent. Gin was still here and her body wouldn't let her forget it.

"You've been absent for quite a long time," Gin said.

Cora continued to look at him, her eyes growing darker with each moment.

"Now don't look at me like that," he taunted, chuckling. "I just asked a question."

"A question that doesn't concern you," Cora seethed, not able to hide her anger any longer. Her hand reached up to Soyala's handle, but she hesitated.

Kira shook his head slightly, telling her that if she attacked, she'd fight him first before Gin. Cora didn't want to fight Kira. She didn't want to fight either, but Gin unleashed a hidden fury and hatred in her that she had little control over. Not even Mayuri Kurotshuchi, the captain of Division 12, angered her as much as Gin did. Captain Kurotshuchi had wanted to 'research' her the minute she was accepted into Division 6. Lucky for her, Captain Kuchiki immediately sent her off to do work that, although was easily accomplished, should have been reserved for someone lower. She was, after all, third seat in her Division. Why had Gin been watching her? It unnerved her that Gin kept track of her and she desperately wanted to know why. But she wouldn't give Gin the satisfaction of loosing control by demanding for answers.

"My, my," Gin said, taking a single step towards her.

"Don't," she shouted, grasping her handle.

Gin stopped, that stupid smile still on his face. "Don't what?"

"Come near me," Cora said, breathing heavily. The difference in their powers was amazing and probably caused her lack of breath, but Cora didn't care. Gin deserved to die and she would be extremely happy if it were her that gave the killing blow.

"Captain," Kira said.

Gin ignored him, his grin widening. "Cora, you've been missing for quite a while. I worry for your safety and I just wondered where you've been, as a captain."

Cora's grip loosened. "I appreciate the concern, Captain, but my whereabouts do not concern you."

"Are you-"

"If you insist to question me about where I have been," Cora continued, her voice sharp and inappropriate for her place, "then I suggest you talk to Captain Kuchiki."

"But-"

"Captain Ichimaru!" Cora snapped, drawing her sword. "If you continue to question me, I will attempt to kill you."

"Cora!" Kira shouted, stepping in front of Gin, his sword drawn. "Remember your place."

Cora growled, gripping Soyala's handle. "Kira, I swear, if you don't move, I'll kill you too."

Gin grinned in the background.

Cora screamed in rage. "Leave me alone!" Suddenly, a bright blue-white light surrounded Cora as she ran towards Kira and Gin. Kira grunted, readying himself for the attack. She was quick and quiet, barely making a noise as she charged at him. Her eyes were black and filled with an intense hatred. Kira had never seen his friend like this before, so hateful and outraged. Was Gin the cause of this? Kira decided that it would be better if he didn't know the answer.

"Cora! Stop this!" Kira shouted as she changed hands, her sword now in her right hand.

"Get away!" she screeched, jumping high into the air.

Kira looked up, ready his defense against the blow, but it never came. An instant before the others showed up, Cora jumped barely, narrowly avoiding a blow given by Renji Abarai, her Lieutenant.

Cora landed lightly on her feet, dropping to one knee. 'Damn it,' she thought as the captains and lieutenants from all thirteen divisions came, minus the first. Cora had never wanted to draw attention to herself, but that always seemed to become inevitable around Gin. She clenched her fist in anger and bit her lip to keep herself from lashing out again.

"What is going on here?" Renji demanded.

Cora kept her eyes on the wooden floor.

"Nothing too important," Gin said.

Cora whimpered as blood dripped down her chin. Her tooth had punctured her lip as she stopped herself from commenting.

"How so?" Fear flooded through Cora as her captain's emotionless voice asked the question. She was surely going to be punished now, just how severe was the question. She cursed herself for loosing her temper, again, and she wished that she would just die. Have a zanpaktou rip through her and end her life. Oh, how she wished it would happen.

"Well, I suppose that I might have caused her to attack me."

"No Captain!" Kira defended. "It was not your fault. Cora had no right to attack you."

Before they could argue anymore, Cora decided to end this quickly. She stood, causing everyone to look at her. She sighed mentally, knowing that her pride needed to be put aside for this situation. Still with her head down, Cora spoke, her voice soft.

"I apologize for my behavior," she said, "and I fear that I have caused too much trouble. I lost my temper and I should not have attacked Captain Ichimaru. I'll be waiting for my punishment in my quarters, Captain Kuchiki," she finished before walking off.

"What did I just do?" she asked herself as she stripped off her uniform. She stepped into the bath, letting the warm water surround her. So far, no captain or lieutenant had come to give the punishment and she decided to take a well-deserved bubble bath. She leaned back, closing her eyes, willing her body to relax. Without a thought, her mind wandered to the subject she loved to dream about.

She had passed him as she left, nearly collapsing from a sudden strong wave of desire. She had only recently begun to desire him so strongly and had no idea why she was suddenly thinking like this. He was a Captain, a Captain! She was third seat in the sixth division. Though the difference in words and rank seemed fairly small, the difference in power and respect was tremendous.

'And besides,' she thought, massaging the tense muscles in her neck, 'Momo and him are together.'

'You keep telling yourself that,' replied the voice in her mind.

She sighed, blowing bubbles as she submerged herself under the water. Her eyes remained closed and her body was finally beginning to relax. Cora sighed, her last breath escaping her mouth as her mind went black.

Okay, so, what did you all think? This is a pretty old FF, so it might not match up correctly. Hoping to fix that...Reviews? Ya? Ya?
