Prolog.
I was looking through my closet with my information sheet in hand. The reason I had this paper filled with his likes and dislikes was to make certain I would look like someone he would leave with. I had watched him for 3 days now and I was sure of where he and his friends were meeting. This had to work without his help it was all over
'got that right hime I'm gonna take you out' a cold voice said in my mind. Her speech brought a pain stabbing through my whole body and for a moment I doubled over in pain.
'Not happening you twisted hollow.' I growled in replay.
He would help, and if he refused I think either my looks or my sword will change his mind. From what Urahara tells me the guys a pervert all I have to do is use that to my advantage. You will help me Shinji Hirako or I'll make you help me and it won't be pretty.

They all entered the club ready for a night of fun and laughter. The group consisted of Ichigo, Orihime, Rukia, Shinji, Hiyori, Mashiro, Renji, and Rangiku. All the other vizored had said no to coming (except Kensi who let out a string of profane words.) Hitsugaya was back in the soul society, along with Shuhei, and Kira. They choose a large round both in the corner. Everyone but Rangiku and Shinji ordered nonalcoholic drinks. The girls all started in on talk while the boys except Shinji acted like they cared. Shinji was too busy watching all the other girls dance. As he got distracted by a blonde he didn't even notice the girl approaching him.
"Hey pretty boy what's your name?'
' he was startled to look up and see a girl he had noticed earlier addressing him. She was about 5'3 with black hair down to mid back; she had bright green eyes, and was wearing jeans ripped at the knees along with an emerald green halter top.
"Shinji Hirako and what's yours angel?" He said with his usual smirk as all his friends gaped that this girl was actually pretty yet she was giving Shinji the time of day.
'' I'm Mori Akiki, want to dance?'' she said giving Hirako a flirtatious look.
''WHAT! No way!'' this was Hiyori who look shocked.
''I'm sorry, is Shinji your boyfriend?" Mori said.
''No way I'm not dating him!'' said Hiyori whose expression had changed to outraged.
''Well then I don't see a problem here'' the girl said silencing Hiyori for what could be the first time ever.
" So Shinji did you want to dance or not?''
"Uh..Yeah I did.'' He said standing Mori then grabbed his hand and lead him to the dance floor. Everyone in the group went back to their conversation except Hiyori who watched the two dance while silently stewing.
''LOOK!'' Hiyori suddenly cried 5 minutes later. The whole group turned to see Shinji leaving out the front door with that girl.
''Where are they going?'' asked Ichigo.
'' Ask Isshin to explain when you get home'' said Rukia in reply causing Ichigo to blush.
'' That little hussy'' said Hiyori with venom in her voice.
''Look Shinji's an adult and it's his business,'' said Renji who for once was the voice of reason.
''Yeah lets have a drinking contest" said(guess who)Rangiku.
''No!'' everyone said at once.
Outside Mori lead Shinji to an ally. After a moment Shinji turned around to find she was no longer looking at him with the lust filled expression she had used in the club. But was instead regarding him with cold calculating expression. Suddenly feeling nervous he made sure his arrogant grin was still in place before he broke the silence.
''What's with you?" he asked.
'' Just wondering if I found the right Shinji Hirako. For a former captain you sure didn't pick up on my reitsu.'' Shinji was shocked his grin wavered for a moment before he spoke.
''don't know what you're talking about angel I only came out here for one reason and now that it looks like that's not happening I think I'll go rejoin my friends.''
"Really so you're not the former captain of the fifth squad funny cause you look just like the picture Urahara gave me." She said with a smirk of her own.
" You know Urahara?"
''Yeah and he said Shinji Hirako could help me and judging by your reitsu he was right your like me.''
''I'm nothing like you princess'' for a moment he looked dangerous.
'' Really cause I'm a soul reaper who left the soul society and now has an inner hollow, still think were nothing alike?"
''You're lying.'' said Shinji but he didn't look so sure.
''Oh yeah how bout we head to Urahara's and you can find out.''

They were now in Urahara's underground training area staring at each other. Shinji was still in his gigia, Mori however was in soul form. She wore her soul reaper uniform sleeveless with an orange obi instead of the normal white one. Tucked into this obi was a zanpactou the hilt was green the guard was gold and star shaped sporting a design of odd looking runes. She also had three long scars running shoulder to wrist on her right arm that didn't show in her gigia.
''So you are a soul reaper I'll give you that, I can also sense your hollow now. But why should I help you?'' said Shinji.
'' I want to join the vizored. And I'm strong."
''Hate to tell you sweetheart but you don't look it.'' Shinji stated. In response to this the girl let her spirit energy loose it was easily that of a captain if not more, and brought Shinji to his knees before he could adjust to it.
''Fine you made your point. I'll fight you, if your strong you can join us if not I'll leave you to the hollow.''
''You don't expect me to win do you.''
''No I don't so how bout we make it interesting?'' She looked suspicious at those words.
''How so?'' This brought a smirk to Hirako's face.
''If You win you get something if I win I get something picking up on where I'm going with this?''
''Fine if I win you have to ask that awful Hiyori girl out on a date so I can watch her beat you silly.''
'' Alright and if I win you have to kiss me.'' His arrogant smirk got even bigger like the Cheshire cat
Before he could utter another word a fist met his face. He glared at her before charging and sending a kick at her. She dodged easily, and slapped an arm up to grab his leg and flip him onto his back.
''Alright now we get serious call on you hollow princess your gonna need it.'' With this he pulled on his own mask and drew his sword.
an hour later they were still at it, Mori had a long gash down her left arm and Shinji had one down his right leg. Both were covered in dirt and had bruises in places. Mori had yet to call on her hollow. They flew at one another once again swords crashing Shinji kicked her in the gut gaining the upper hand.
But when Mori picked herself up from the dirt she was wearing a mask and her voice was layered. The mask was shaped like Ichigo's its design was a painted butterfly whose wings stretched across the face. It was black with orange and pink on it.
'' Now you're in for it pretty boy I'm not as nice as the hime." The hollow Mori spoke.
''So you're her hollow huh. Well I'm glad you find me pretty.'' Shinji joked
"My name is Netsubaki that's the name hime gave me." Said the hollow.
They began to fight once more.
'' She named you?'' Shinji said as they held their swords to each other's throats.
'' Yeah she's a good kid but I want control, and you're in the way of that" with those words the Netsubaki jacked her knee straight up causing Shinji to fall to the ground in pain. He rolled out of the way as she staged down where he had been, and knocked her knees out from under her. Once she was down he kicked her sword from her hand and used his so smash her hollow mask, putting Mori back in control.
Mori opened her eyes to see her sword lying ten feet away and that she was pinned down by Hirako who was smiling like a mad man.
''Heads up sweetheart I win. You pass the vizored will train you.''
''Fine get off me and get it over with you creep.''
'' trainings gonna take a while."
'' Not the training you won the bet stupid.''
'' Well look whose all eager. Don't worry about that right now ill collect on a later date.'' With that he turned and started toward the ladder up to the shop she picked up her sword and started to follow when he called over his shoulder
''don't worry Princess I won't forget I always collect on a debt.'' Mori groaned inwardly saying that's what I was afraid of.
So, how do you like it please review. Lots of love
