A/N: Hey, I have recently talked to my cousin who said that I should write a Zanyuki fic... and here it is!
"Mayyyyyybe!" The beautiful zanpakuto giggled at her master, who had asked her if she 'liked' anyone in the zanpakuto realm. Rukia's face lit up.
"Who who who who!" She shouted and it reverberated off the walls of Ichigo's kitchen. Sode no Shirayuki smiled down at her four-foot-eight master.
"Hyorinmaru..." She confided.
The little shinigami looked as though somebody had hit her upside the head with a ten-pound frying pan.
"C-captain Hitsugaya's zanpakuto?" She asked quietly, looking up at Shirayuki. Shirayuki looked as though she were listening to something far away and fading away at the same time.
"Rukia, I'll be back, alright? I'm being called to the zanpakuto realm..." She faded from view and appeared in another dimension, seeing one of her plethora of zanpakuto friends, Wabisuke, she ran over to him expectantly.
"Hey, Wabisuke! Do you know why we were called here?" She chided, looking at the emaciated man and waiting patiently for a response. He looked up from behind the black wave of hair that hid his face from view.
"No..." He whispered, moving the iron ball on his shoulder to emphasize his point.
"Thanks anyway... maybe Hyorinmaru knows." She waltzed away from the man with a stone tablet on his back to search for the taller, green-haired man in samurai clothing.
"GET OFF ME, TOBIUME!" The ice zanpakuto bellowed at the four-foot-eleven zanpakuto with chocolate brown hair. He tried to shove her off, but she held tight.
"Hey!" Shirayuki yelled at the short zanpakuto clinging to her love interest, running to assist the other frost-type zanpakuto in getting the obsessive fire-type off his person.
After they had thrown Tobiume away from them, Hyorinmaru looked at Shirayuki and smiled gently.
"Thank you, Sode no Shirayuki." He spoke softly, walking up to the yuki-onna zanpakuto.
They walked together, discussing their shor-no, vertically challenged masters for roughly an hour, walking over a considerable amount of the zanpakuto realm.
"I'm bored." She stated jokingly, looking at Hyorinmaru.
He snorted, "How am I supposed to help you with that, Shirayuki?" He closed his eyes and sighed deeply until he felt the body of Sode no Shirayuki leaning against his chest. He unconsciously wrapped his arms around her shoulders.
She giggled, "You can help me by playing a little game with me, ice dragon."
"What's the game, sleeve of white snow?" He chuckled against her pale blue hair.
"Tag, you're it." She whispered, flashstepping to a clearing directly next to a lake. Great green pine trees towered over her at more than a hundred feet tall. They surrounded her on all but one side, that one side overlooked a vast lake, the sunset reflecting off its inch-high rolling ripples.
Hyorinmaru materialized in the clearing, and the most beautiful zanpakuto in soul society hid behind one of the many tall pines thick trunk.
"Where could she be hiding...?" He mused aloud, trying to get a reaction from the yukki-onna.
She tried to hide her giggles, but a few slipped out and reached his ears.
He disappeared, reappearing behind her and wrapping his strong arms around her slim waist.
"MEEP!" She yelped when he grabbed her from behind, but quickly adjusted to it and leaned back against his well-toned chest.
He whispered into her ear, "Caught ya, Sode no Shirayuki."
She smiled and giggled, the small vibrations rolling through her to Hyorinmaru.
"I think Tobiume hates me." She said while giggling, waiting for his response.
"Why do you think that?"
"Because, there's been a rumor going around the realm... that you 'like' me..." She whispered almost inaudibly.
"What if it was more than a rumor?" he leaned in closer to her ear, "what if that was reality?"
She froze, hoping he wasn't playing with her emotions, "Really? Is it reality, Hyorinmaru?" She asked quietly, knowing he could hear her.
"Yes."
One word. The most beautiful zanpakuto in soul society turned on a dime and connected her mouth to his before pulling away quickly.
"I'm sorry... that was foolish." She chastised herself for kissing him.
"Don't worry about it... that was just a little soon..." He spoke, surprised.
A/N:this is my pathetic excuse for the beginning of a zanyuki... don't worry, zangetsu will make an appearance in later chapters.
