Author's Note: I hope the wait wasn't too long. I still haven't gotten any reviews, but as I promised, I would still update! People reading this again, congrats! Chapter one is so boring. That chapter just explained everything. No epic stuff. But for now, let's get on with the story!
By the way, Ulquiorra isn't dead in this story.

I decided to teleport to where the hollow is, leaving Toshiro just a little behind. His Captain's haori billows in the wind. Wow, he has no idea how awesome I am. Haha. Laughing in my head at my own awful jokes must be some kind of mental disorder.
"Here. I'll kill it," I say to Toshiro.
"What? But you're not even a ranked officer. That is the only explanation I have for you. That must be why I don't know who you are. Although it is suspicious for an unranked officer to be on a mission in the world of the living, it's still a plausible idea."
I laugh again. Seriously Toshiro? An unranked officer being a master of shunpo?Well, I will explain to him later. I grab my sword out of thin air. I can hear Toshiro gasp. Well... another perk of being the Soul King's daughter is that I don't need to carry my sword. The neon green grip is bright against the black blade. My sword is always in shikai form.
"Get ready for some epic purification," I tell the hollow.
I stab the sword into the ground and green sprouts shoot around me. They wrap around the hollows arms and legs. The hollow just so happens to have six arms and four legs. It kind of scares me. It resembles a spider except for the fact it has too many limbs. My sword doesn't prevent the hollow from moving; no, this is not the function of my zanpakto.
The green sprouts suddenly fall off. this makes the hollow feel like it's free.
"Your attack did nothing," Toshiro says.
"Haha," I laugh. "That's what you think."
All of the sudden, green sprouts shoot out of the hollow's limbs. The sprouts that wrapped around his arms and legs are actually planting seed that feed on the hollows spiritual pressure. He will die very soon from losing its spiritual pressure, but he can still move and such. The hollow is almost like a ticking bomb with an expiration date. Except there is no explosion. The hollow just dies. So then, to kill it now, I will have to wear it down so it will consume more of . It's almost like a game. I didn't need to use my shikai, but I thought I'd show off for little Toshiro there.
With one quick swing, I pierce the hollow's mask and he dissaptes into the air. I turn back to a gaping Toshiro. He knows that I didn't need to use shikai. I can imagine him thinking, this girl's no unranked officer.
"Who are you?" he says, pointing his blade right into my face.
"I told you, I will tell you later! Probably at the dorm," I reply.
"Fine," he says, sheathing his zanpakto.
I grabs his arm, planning to shunpo teleport him, but he resists.
"W-what are you doing?" he asks. "How do I know I can trust you? How do I know you aren't an espada that survived the war or something? How do I know if you're not an assassin that gains my trust, only to kill me? How do I-"
I cut him off by teleporting use both back into the dorm.
"Apple juice or Sprite?" I ask him as I walk toward our kitchen.
"Um...A Sprite?"
I grab two Sprites out of the kitchen and head towards the library. Toshiro follows. I plop down on the couch. Well, at least I thought it was the couch. I plopped down onto a hard oak chair. Now, my tail bone hurts. Toshiro starts to laugh at me.
"So you can defeat a hollow without a scratch, impressive for an unranked officer, but you get hurt by a chair."
Wait... did he just laugh? He seems to notice too as he begins to shut up, his serious face back on. I hand him a Sprite and he gladly accepts, opening the can right away. The sticky liquid fizzes out and onto his hands. Now it's my turn to laugh. He just grabs a tissue and calmly wipes it off.
"So who are you? Explain," he demands.
"I am not part of the Gotei 13."
"Then are you an academy student?"
"Nope, not an academy student."
"Then who are you?"
"I am... let me just say that I am a prodigy. And I will also say that you should be bowing down to me, begging for forgiveness. But, I am not a brat and I hate it when that happens."
"Are you a noble?"
"Kinda. I am the daughter of the Soul King."
His eye widen as he immediately gets to the floor. His fists pressed hard, head down.
"My apologies, Lu-sama. I was unaware of your position. Please forgive me."
"Cut the honorifics and all. I hate that. I shouldn't have told you."
"Okay. So is it okay to pretend you aren't?"
"Not in front of the Royal Guard or anything."
"Okay."
We sit here, sipping delicious Sprite. I am so happy that Toshiro knows, now that I can fight without him thinking I'm evil.
"W-Would you..." he falters.
"Would I what?" I ask.
"Wouldyoupleasetrainmetobestronger?" he blurts out at a rapid speed.
"Why? You are a captain."
I have no idea why the heck he blurted that out so fast. He knows he is powerful, but no, he needs to become stronger so desperately.
"During the Winter War," he begins.
"Wait... what war?"
"You don't know about the winter war?"
"Nope. All I now was that this man named Aizen was defeated. Such a weakling."
"He was very powerful. He wanted to take over the Royal Family. If it weren't for the substitute soul reaper that defeated him, he might have been able to take over."
"Wow... I've been kept in the dark. So I assume that there was a war between you and the espada."
"Yes, the espada are an elite force of..."
"Dummies."
"Um... I think they are stronger than you're giving them credit for."
"Um... I don't think so," I mimic.
"Well.. anyways, Aizen's zanpakto has the ability to hypnotize people. My childhood friend, Momo Hinamori, was a victim, and I, believing that Momo was Aizen, due to Aizen also hypnotizing me, stabbed Momo. She's okay, but I need to get stronger to prevent that from happening again."
"So, what I'm getting here is that the love of your life, Momo Hinamori..."
"I treat her like a sister," he interrupts.
"Whatever. She was stabbed by you and you need to get stronger to protect her."
"Yes."
"Okay. That's a good reason to become stronger."
We are still sipping soda. The night comes. Wow... so much stuff happened today.
"So will you help me train?" he inquires again.
"Maybe. I will need to think about it. But I don't think you need to train harder physically," I state.
"Then what do I have to train? Mentally?"
"Yeah. I know some meditation techniques that the Royal Guard taught me to be strong."
"Okay. Thank you so much."
I walk toward the bedroom and collapse onto the bed, drifting into a blissful sleep. Momo Hinamori. Is that her name?
I feel a pillow hitting my face. What the...
"Wake up," Toshiro yells. "Class starts in five minutes! We must not be late!"
I open my eyes, sitting up as me and Toshiro bump heads. He blushes and I laugh. A vein pops on his head as he gets annoyed.
"You won't mind if I got out of bed and changed using shunpo, would you?" I say.
Regardless of his answer, I zoom out of bed, change, and grab my iPad for school.
"Let's go, slowpoke," I say as I exit out the door.
He catches up with me. As we enter our classroom, all the girls start flirting with Toshiro. I laugh.
"I have to use the restroom," he grumbles, clearly annoyed by the girls fawning all over him.
A girl pushes me aside to talk. At least I think to talk.
"You better stay away from Hitsugaya-sama. I don't care about you being in the 'A' class or anything. You better stay out of my future husband's way. You got that?" she hisses into my ear.
She walks back to her seat. All the girls that surround me convey the same message through their cold, menacing glare. I stifle my laughter. Toshiro returns to his seat and they all start batting their eyelids. Class starts and we learn about chemistry and chemical reactions.
"The girls gave me a talk about how you're taken and I better not be friends with you," I whisper into his ear.
"Yeah, they get very jealous. Do you play soccer?"
"I thought we were talking about your fans," I mock. "But yes, I do play soccer. Why?"
"The tryouts for the team are today. I'm the captain of the team."
"Haha. Do girls tryout?"
"No. But girls can."
"Good to know."
"Lu-sama, what is the scientific term of sodium chloride?"
"NaCl," I say.
I return to our conversation, the teacher seeming not to care.
"As long as we know the answers and do good on the exams, the teacher really doesn't care about what 'A' class people do," Toshiro whispers in my ear.
I laugh, making it seem like Toshiro is flirting with me. This will be a fun game to play, Toshiro fangirls.
It's lunchtime. I exit back into the "A" class dorm lobby to eat, as "A" class students are allowed to do so. Toshiro has notified me that Urya Ishida is a Quincy and the Ulquiorra Cifer was a previous espada. He also told me that Ulquiorra has has been given permission to be in the human world by the Gotei 13 and has concealed his mask and hollow hole. Toshiro said that Ulquiorra now is on our side. I will have my guard up, as I do not trust in hollows.
"Nice to meet you guys," I say as I put my hand out to Uryu Ishida.
"Hi, I'm Uryu Ishida."
"I'm Skyler Lu."
"I'm Ulquiorra Cifer."
"Nice to meet you guys! I think we'll all be good friends."
They grunt, continuing to eat their food. I bet Uryu is well aware that I am a soul reaper and perhaps Ulquiorra as well. Toshiro should have figured it out before. Maybe he was distracted about something else about me.
Maybe he likes...
No, that's not possible. I've known him for a day now and he's not the kind of person. But that would be a good reason. I heard about the Tenth Squad Captain being cold to everyone. Yet he laughs and blushed when we bumped heads. And he was so open about everything.
Toshiro comes in after getting his lunch at the cafeteria. Ulquiorra motions for Toshiro to come and talk. Toshiro listens as Ulquiorra whispers something inaudible from this distance. Toshiro nods.
"This is the Soul Kings's heir and daughter, Skyler Lu," Toshiro announces.
"Such unusual circumstances. Why would a very important person be in the world of the living? This is not your average thing. I know you've come here for a reason. Not just to go to school," Ulquiorra says, his green eyes boring into mine."
"Yes, that is suspicious," Uryu agrees.
Toshiro looks at me expecting an answer.
"Yes, it's true Ulquiorra," I say, exasperated about how easily he could see through me. "Unknown to my father, I recently felt a presence of evil in the world of the living while inside the palace."
Toshiro beckons me to say more.
"The source of the evil was unnamed until recently," I say, knowing Toshiro will be heartbroken.
"Her name, I discovered, is Momo Hinamori."
Author's Note: I hope you like the twist of events. I'm sorry to Momo's fans. I like her too. But you can always change the names. Copy and paste the story on Microsoft Word and go under "find." Then click replace, type Momo's name to whatever and replace her name. You can also replace the main character's name to something else. Maybe Momo? LOL see you next time!
