Yeah, so this is a sequel to Lost & Found. Sad Yuki died in that story…. Anyway, so… Shall we?


Chapter 1

She woke up, head aching, body sore all over. Her white hair reached a few inches above her elbows. Her hair was parted at the left. Her bangs on the right were chopped short, just brushing over her shoulder, covering half of her face. The longer bangs on the left were held by a small circular silver clip that was connected to another clip that held her hair in a half ponytail by three small chains.

She stood up and dusted of her robes. She was wearing a white turtle neck sleeveless shirt under a black kimono-style top and long black matching pants. She wore a short sword on her left hip. It had silver guard shaped into a ten-petaled flower. The sheath and handle were a bright cerulean. She adjusted her bright red eyes to the bright surroundings. She was at a… beach?

As soon as she did, she saw several figures circle around her. All of them wore shinigami robes. One of the men stepped forward.

"Who are you? How did you know we were here?" he said. He had short messy maroon hair and had brown eyes. The woman frowned.

"I don't have to answer a bastard," she snapped back. The man smirked, she's got attitude.

"Where are you goin' little girl?"

The girl stomped on his foot, "Don't you dare ever call me a lil' girl you faggot!" A woman was about to draw her sword but she was stopped.

"Fumino, no…. Were you abandoned by the shinigamis? Tricked? Betrayed? Mistreated?"

The girl's red eyes narrowed, "What's it to ya?"

"Want revenge?"

The girl smirked, "You got a plan?"

The man smirked as well. "I'm Hashimoto Hideki. What about you?"

"I'm Sasaki Rin."

"Rin-chan eh?" He was answered by a punch. He rubbed his jaw, looking questioningly at Rin, "What did you do that for?"

"You don't go around usin' my first name, especially if I dun know ya." He nodded, not wanting to experience pain again. He noticed Fumino, seething with anger.

"Calm down Fumino-chan, she's with us."

"With us?!?" the woman said. She was tall and had long black wavy hair with streaks of blonde. She had cat-like yellow eyes that were glaring at Rin. "We hardly even know her!"

"Yeah, and who said anythin' 'bout me goin' with you guys?" Rin said, crossing her arms.

"SEE!" Fumino shouted.

"Be quiet," Hideki said. He looked up and squinted his eyes, "Let's go back to the cave to clear things up."

"WHAT?!? You're going to bring her to the cave?! For all we know, she might be a spy!" Fumino said. Rin narrowed her ruby eyes. "I'm not lettin' that brat come with us!" Rin growled and grabbed her by the robes.

"Look here sugar queen, if you dare call me brat one more time, you'll regret it dearly that you'd prefer to be eaten by a hollow," she threatened, rising her reiatsu and suffocating the woman. She released her. Fumino dropped onto her knees, gasping for air. Rin turned to Hideki, "No need to settle things down, I'm in."

"I thought you might say that," he said. "Nice reiatsu."

Rin smirked, "Thanks." She looked at the woman who was still catching her breath, "What's your name sugar queen?"

Fumino looked up, glaring. "Fumino…Kobayashi Fumino." Fumino stood up, shaking, "Let's go back."

"Squad, retreat back to the cave!" Hideki announced. At once, the shinigamis left, leaving Rin, Fumino and Hideki. "Glad you decided to come with us."

Rin narrowed her eyes and looked away towards the sea, "Tch! Don't be too happy. I'm not the kind of person you can get along with…"

Hideki laughed, "Alright, come on!" Hideki disappeared. Fumino glared at Rin one last time and followed him. Rin smirked to herself and followed the two.

'Everything's going perfectly,' Rin thought.

Rin was lead to cave that was found in one of nearby cliffs. Inside, several shinigamis were resting, training, eating and talking. Fumino ran off with a group of girls and started spreading how unpleasant the newcomer was.

'Unpleasant my ass,' Rin said inside her mind.

"Everyone gather here please!" Hideki commanded. The shinigamis focused their attention to him. There were roughly two dozen. "We've got a new one! Please welcome Sasaki Rin!"

Rin stepped forward, eyes narrow, and bowed, not saying a single word.

"Please treat her nicely. She might be difficult, but she proves to be an indispensible asset."

They all stared at her with criticizing eyes. What caught them the most were her striking and piercing eyes. If you look into them, it would be like looking at a blood covered sword, glistening in the moon.

"You may return to your activities!" Hideki turned back to the girl and patted her head. "That was kinda rude Rin. Anyway, our leader's still not here so I'll introduce you to him when he comes back. In the mean time, you can acquaint yourself with the others."

She pulled him by the robes, "It's SASAKI!" She then released him and stormed off. The other stared at her as she did her little stunt.

"Hideki-san, you allow her to do that?" a shinigami said. He had dark blue hair that was jaw-length and gray eyes.

"She interests me Daisuke. Don't do her any harm, alright?"

"Hai!"

Rin sat there on the cliff's grassy surface. She enjoyed the view of the sea and took in every detail. The breeze blew past her, making the chains in her hair jingle and make a soft rattling sound.

"Such a shame Sereitei doesn't have places like these."

Rin turned around and saw a girl with light blond hair tied in pigtails. She had vibrant green eyes and a wide smile. "Who're you?" Rin asked, bluntly, turning back to the sea.

"The name's Mori Sachiko. You're Sasaki Rin right?" she nodded, making Sachiko's smile bigger. "I'm new here too." This perked Rin's interest.

"Why'd you come here Mori-san?"

Sachiko laughed, "Don't call me that. Call me Sachiko instead." Sachiko sat down beside her, "Well, I'm here because I hate Soul Society I guess."

Rin laughed. "Now don't we all?" Sachiko grinned again.

"Well, it's because I was part of the Twelfth Division. That crazy captain was planning some creepy stuff. It was against my morals to experiment on live people, so I left. I bumped into Hideki and the others and well… here I am," Sachiko explained. "How 'bout you Rin-chan? Or would you like me to call you Sasaki-san?"

Rin shook her head slowly, "If it's you, I don't mind. I'm here because someone betrayed me, I guess."

"Who?"

"My boyfriend."

Sachiko tilted her head. "You have a boyfriend? Aren't you a lil' too young?" Rin shot a glare. "Never mind…. So, what did he do?"

"I caught him kissing my best friend."

She let out a low whistle. "Woah, sorry 'bout that."

"Nah, don't be. I knew that it wasn't intentional, but I needed to get away. I've already had two boyfriends and they both hurt me."

Sachiko pouted. "You make being in a relationship sound hard."

Rin sighed. "It's really not difficult, but… yeah, it's complicated."

Sachiko hatched an idea. "How 'bout we become best friends?"

Rin widened her eyes, "You trust me?"

"Why shouldn't I?"

"Because I'm new?"

"Well I am too…." she paused, "Oh yeah, Fumino-san was saying stuff about you.."

"Heh, can't be helped. You believe her?"

"Nope!" she said with a smile.

"I don't either. Fumino's such a suck up to the boss," a man said from behind.

"Daisuke!" Sachiko said, standing up and waving her hands wildly. "Meet my best friend, Rin-chan!"

"Sachiko!" Rin whispered.

"You've already got a friend? That was fast for you Sasaki. By the way, I'm Daisuke, Fujiwara Daisuke," the blue haired man said as he offered his hand.

"Sasaki Rin, pleasure to meet you," she took his hand and stood up. They shook hands.

"The pleasure's mine."

"Daisuke, don't you think Rin's pretty?" Sachiko squealed from behind Rin.

"Ei?! What's with that Sachiko?" he said, slightly blushing. The two ladies laughed and he joined in the laughter. "Hideki said you were difficult to get along with."

"It's because I hit him when I first met him." Daisuke smirked while Sachiko giggled.

"How 'bout we talk about our little group," he said. Rin replied a 'why not'. "Well, the group was started by a shinigami who was friggin' mad at Sereitei for not giving him the Captain position. He was a very capable man, but the Head Captain said that he wasn't suited because he lacked analytical skills. One night, he escaped into the world of the living and now, here we are."

"What's his name?" Rin asked curiously.

"Hanabusa Akira," the Sachiko and Daisuke replied in unison. Rin paled.

"Hanabusa Akira?" she repeated.

"Yup!" the green eyed girl said.

Inside her mind, Rin was running races. He was a shinigami. He was a shinigami. HE WAS A SHINIGAMI?!? HIM?! She was supposed to be under him?! NEVER!!! Not after what he did to her.

"Are you alright Sasaki?" Daisuke asked in concern. Rin snapped out of her thoughts and nodded.

"When is he coming back?" she wearily asked.

"He should be back by sunset. Need to go now. See ya around." He stopped in his tracks. "Oh yeah, you already missed lunch. Dinner's at sunset, okay?"

"Alright, Fujiwara-san…" He waved good bye and disappeared. "He's a peculiar one."

"I think he likes you!" Sachiko squealed.

"No he doesn't," she coldly replied. Her friend pouted. "Don't make that face."

She immediately wiped the out away and was replaced by a grin. "What do you wanna do Rin-chan?"

"How about a little match, Rin-chan?"

The two turned to the voice and saw Fumino standing, arms crossed. "Hello, Fumino. I'm sorry, but I don't want to fight you."

"Why? You scared lil' girl?"

Rin clenched her fists, knuckles turning white. "Yeah, that I might kill you." Fumino narrowed her eyes.

"Now aren't you the cocky one? At your size, I bet you haven't even achieved shikai," she said arrogantly.

"Sachiko?" Rin asked.

"Yeah?" she nervously replied.

"Move back. I'll teach lil' sugar queen here a lesson," she said as she drew out her sword, eyes narrowed.

"Oooh, how scary! A little brat's gonna beat me up," she mocked. "What are you gonna do? Poke me with that short sword of yours?" She drew out her sword. It was longer than a usual katana and had a yellow handle and a guard that had three spokes on one side and a rounded part on the other, making it look like a claw. "Now THIS, is a sword. Afraid now?"

"Hardly. I already fought someone who has a larger sword. I brought him down in five seconds flat." Sachiko did a double-take and Fumino narrowed her eyes even more.

"Let's see how you do then." She disappeared and reappeared behind Rin. "Gotcha!" She swung down her sword, only to hit nothing. The sword was deep into the ground.

"Way of Onmitsu, 3rd of the Shihou, Utsusemi. It allows me to move so quickly that the me you hit was just an after-image." She gave her a couple of hits and jabs, making Fumino hit the ground. "Good job, you lasted 5 seconds as well." She sheathed her sword and turned to Sachiko, "How was I?" she asked with a smirk.

"That was… AWESOME!" Rin widened her eyes as Sachiko hugged her. "How did you do that? Was that a special attack from your zanpakuto? But how? You haven't even released it yet? Maybe you have bankai! Do you have bankai?"

"SHIT! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME YOU BRAT!?!" Fumino screeched. Sachiko calmed down and stared at her lying figure. "AND WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE ONMITSU THING?!?"

"I just paralyzed you. I hit a couple of pressure points and… ta-da!" She paused for a while then smirked. "Utsusemi's a special technique taught to the members of the Second Division."

"Second Division?" Sachiko repeated.

"Yeah. I was part of the Second Division back in the old days. Then, I transferred to the Fourth, to the Fifth and yeah…"

"I WANT A REMATCH!"

"I won't fight you. You're not worthy of my blade," she replied coldly, further infuriating her.

"DON'T GET COCKY LIL' BRAT. HANABUSA WILL GET YOU FOR MESSING WITH HER GIRL!" She struggle to move but to no avail. "Fuck! Make me move again!"

"Let's just see if your little Hanabusa can even lay a hand of me. Oh yeah, the effect wears off in about 15 minutes at least, and two hours the most. It depends on how many times and where I hit you."

She widened her eyes, "Fuck you, you lil' brat!"

"Sachiko, we should better go back. The sun's already setting."

"Hai!" she replied.

"See ya around Kobyashi."

"You're already done Rin?" Sachiko asked, seeing her friend already setting down her bowl.

"Yeah, I don't really eat much," she replied. She stared as her friend finished another bowl. It was her what? Fifth? "You eat a lot don't you?"

"Haha. Yeah… Uh-oh."

"What?"

"Fumino's back… with Hanabusa," she said, starting get worried about her new friend.

"THERE SHE IS AKIRA!" a shrill voice said. "There's the girl who hurt me!" Fumino said as she pointed Rin out.

"You! Come over here!" a man said. Rin stood up, confident. She passed by Hideki and Daisuke who were confused. She just smiled at them and continued to walk. She caught sight of Fumino and a man who had brown hair and gray eyes… Akira.

"I assume you're Hanabusa Akira. The leader of the group?" she said nonchalantly, looking away.

"Yes," he replied. "And I assume that you're Sasaki Rin, the one who beat this fine lady over here" he said as he drew Fumino closer by the waist.

"Maybe…"

"WHY YOU LITTLE-!"

"Fumino…" Fumino stopped and glared at the girl. "Why'd you do it?"

"She challenged me."

"I see. And I heard that I wouldn't be able to lay a hand on you according to Fumino. Is it true that you said that?" he questioned.

"Maybe…"

"Interesting. Want to see if your statement is even possible?" He smirked.

Rin smirked as well, "Why not?" There was a gasp throughout the whole cave. Fumino had an evil smirk on her face.

"You're dead lil' girl."

"Don't count on it, sugar queen."

"Well now, let's get to it. Let's do it on the cliff… Y'know, where you beat Fumino…" Akira said.

"Sure, meet you there." She disappeared.

"Interesting lil' girl we have…. Who found her?" he asked. A hand was raised.

"I did," Hideki said, hiding his fear.

"Nice catch."

"Thank you, sir."

"Now, if you guys are done eating, do you want to watch? We need to hurry up there, we wouldn't want a lady to wait." He disappeared as well and was soon followed by the other shinigamis. They reappeared on top of the cliff where Rin was standing. She had her back to them and was facing the sea. The breeze blew past her, making her hair move with the wind.

"Shall we start Hanabusa-san?" she turned around. Her red eyes now seeming to glow, scaring the shit of the other people.

"Whenever you are…" he paused as the clouds disappeared, the moon giving enough light to expose his opponent, "… have I seen you before?"

"No, but I think I may have seen you in some records back in Soul Society," she bluntly replied.

"Hmm… No use. Let's start!" They both unsheathed their swords. The two then disappeared, only the sound of metal on metal being heard. They reappeared again, "Not bad. At least you could keep up with my speed."

"Don't get ahead of yourself. I've fought people tougher than you," she replied, pushing him back. "And that wasn't my fastest pace." She disappeared again and reappeared behind him. She was about to paralyze him but he disappeared, shocking Rin. She felt him behind her and immediately jumped away.

"Nice reflexes."

"Tch! Bakudo #4: Hainawa!" A yellow rope then appeared from Rin's hands and wrapped around him. "Hado #11: Tsuzuri Raiden!" An electric current then flowed through the rope then electrocuted Akira.

He stood up, grinning, barely scratched, "Nice kido as well, who taught you?"

"None of your business."

He frowned, "Oh well. No holding back then."

Rin smirked as she readied her stance, "Oh? I thought that was your best." She saw him hold his sword horizontally, making her narrow her eyes.

"Disperse, Asamoya*!" His blade then disappeared and the surroundings turned foggy. "Be careful, it burns," he cautioned from somewhere in the mist. Rin moved away from the fog, but it followed her and soon surrounded her.

"SASAKI!" a man called.

Rin rolled her eyes, "I'm friggin' fine Daisuke! No need to overreact!" She positioned her hands in front of her, "Hado #58: Tenran!" A tornado then formed, coming from Rin's hands. Instead of focusing it on one target, she moved in a circular motion to clear the mist away.

"Hmm… Kido? Always kido? Why not release?" Akira said as he moved through the mist that was slowly approaching.

"Because you are not worthy," she said.

"Now, now, I've heard that you have quite the temper there," he said with a smirk. "Is it because you're short? But seriously, you do look like a kid... A kid I knew from somewhere."

Rin gritted her teeth, "Alright, change of plans! I'll give you the privilege of seeing it."

"Gimme your best shot lil' girl!" Rin smirked. She pointed her sword towards the ground and dropped it.

"Waltz, Touketsu Kaben!" The blade partially went through the ground and turned into ice. It shattered, and the pieces then formed bracelets on Rin's wrists. "Good luck. My zanpakuto will freeze every cell in your body."

"I take it that you're zanpakuto's ice and snow based."

"Yes."

"Then that would be a problem with my mist," he said, tapping his chin. "Oh well, no choice. Ban Kai! Asamoya Suppai"

"DIE SASAKI!" Fumino screamed from somewhere. Rin rolled her eyes. She saw the mist grow denser, and darker, limiting her vision greatly.

"RIN! Be careful!" Sachiko shouted.

"Aren't you taking it too far? Why are you goin' all out on lil' ol' me?" she said out loud.

"Because you're holding back," he replied.

"Am I?"

"You are."

"Then what should I do? It's obvious that you dun' want to kill me."

"At least wound me and make me fall on my knees," he said. He chuckled, "If you can."

"That's easy, but I won't use it on you. Seventeenth Song: Queen's Blizzard!" The wind started to pick up. It brought along snowflakes. It grew stronger and stronger until the mist solidified, exposing Akira. "Eighteenth Song: Storm's Rage!" Snowflakes then fell and attacked Akira. One flake grazed his cheek, cutting him. "Be careful! They're pretty sharp!" She then moved her hands in a dance like movement, the flakes following her, pretty much like Byakuya's Senbonzakura.

Akira braced for the pain but he felt a few hits on him. He fell to the ground. The mist then reverted back to being his sword. Rin stood beside him, her sword back to normal. She made a cut on his cheek, making sure it bled. She shook of the blood and sheathed it.

"There! I wounded you and you're on the ground, unable to move. Now let me be!" She turned around and walked away. She spotted Sachiko who was sweating. She walked towards her. She glanced back and shouted, "You haven't even laid a hand on me!"

"Rin!" Sachiko shouted as she hugged her. "I was worried for you! That was so stupid challenging him! Me, Hideki and Daisuke were all worried. Don't you ever do that again!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever…" Rin looked up at the starry sky, "… let me go Sachiko. I need to sleep."

"You can sleep in the cave!" she said.

"Nah, I'll find somewhere else to sleep." Sachiko pouted.

"Alright."

"Good night Sachiko."

"Nighty night Rin!"

"Good night… Yuki." Rin's eyed widened. She quickly composed herself and turned around to face Akira who as on someone's back.

"Yuki? Where the hell did you get that name?" she said, trying to hide her surprise.

"Nowhere. Just figured that since you had a snow/ice type, Yuki should be fit for you, meaning snow, right?" he said. He looked up in thought, "Though Rin also suits you. It means 'cold' right?"

"Stop messin' with my name. See ya tomorrow Sachiko." She disappeared.

"Bye Rin."

….

Somewhere in the crowd, Fumino was seething with anger. Aside for not killing the small girl, she noticed Akira was too interested with the girl.

"You'll know you're place little brat. And I'll be the one to show you…"

That was sooo obvious. I highly doubt that you guys haven't connected the dots..

Hate me if you want, but I just needed to let these friggin' thoughts out.

That's about it. Hope you like this one as well. Review please.
