Recap:

"No Masumoto. You can help Haruno-san, but after that you do the paperwork." Rangiku pouts and pushes Sakura through the hall and says,

"Fine."

"Goodbye Hitsugaya-taicho." Sakura says with a smile. Hitsugaya flushes again and Rangiku giggles.

"I know who taicho likes." Rangiku whispers to Toshiro. The white-haired captain blushes and yells,

"Shut up Masumoto!"

"So Sakura-chan, do you think Taicho is cute?" Rangiku asks with a smile. Sakura smirks and says,

"Rangiku-chan, I know what you are trying to do." The Shinigami gives her an innocent look and says,

"What are you talking about?" The former ninja sighs and says,

"Rangiku-chan, I don't think I'll fall in love again. The last time I did, it was the death of me…literally. The boy I fell in love with left me knocked out on a bench, then two years later pierced through my stomach leaving me to bleed to death. You can say I haven't really had the best luck." Masumoto gives a sad look and starts to say,

"Sakura-chan, I'm so-"

"Masumoto-fukutaicho, Haruno-san, the Captain-Commander wishes to speak with you." A messenger interrupts.

"Alright." The two women make their way to the 1st division barracks and see all the captains and lieutenants are present, along with Itachi. Masumoto makes her way behind her captain and Sakura stands next to Itachi.

"What's going on?" Sakura whispers to Itachi.

"I don't know."

"You are Haruno Sakura, correct?" The Captain-Commander asks. She nods and asks,

"May I ask why I have I been called here?"

"You and Uchiha-san are from the same place, correct? I wish to simply get some information from you." Itachi and Sakura look at each other and Sakura sighs.

"Alright, but I have a question. If you don't mind?" The Captain-Commander nods and Sakura asks bluntly,

"Why aren't Itachi-san and I in hell?" Itachi sighs, some of the Captains and Lieutenants pale while other look at her like she's ridiculous.

"Why would a little girl like you be in hell?" A Captain with a pink kimono over his captain's uniform. Sakura's eye twitches and she begins ranting,

"Well I'll tell you, taicho-san. Itachi-san and I are ninjas and have been trained to kill since we were six years old. We were taught to hide in the shadows and kill our enemies. Clients hire us and we kill who they want us to kill. Although I am a healer, I know many ways to kill. I know how to make your insides implode, cut off every nerve in your body and know where all your pressure points are." Most of occupants in the room were paling, but one person's smile was growing bigger with each word she said.

"If I attack a certain point in your neck with a needle, I'll kill you. If I attack a certain point in your arm, it's useless. I have identified, created and countered over several thousand poisons and I can also destroy a mountain with my fist." The room was quiet and awkward until the Captain of the 11th division smiles and yells,

"I like this girl." Sakura smiles and Itachi whispers,

"I think you scared most of them." Sakura smirks and whispers back,

"I haven't even told them what you can do." The Captain-Commander clears his throat and asks,

"And what is it that Uchiha-san can do?" All the occupants turn to Sakura, who quickly answers without missing a beat,

"He can put anyone in an illusion of their worst nightmare for 72 hours, copy anything with his bloodline or slit your throat without you even noticing." The people in the room blanch and Sakura smirks,

"Aren't you glad we're on your side?"

"…Right. I take it you two are from the same place, correct?" Sakura nods and replies,

"Yes, we are actually from the same village, Konoha."

"So that makes you both on the same side?" The 13th squad captain asks.

"No, we were enemies." The captains and lieutenants, except Rangiku, look confused and the ninjas sigh.

"He was part of a criminal organization made up of missing ninjas; he was the one that came from my village. My team and I fought against him because he was trying to capture my best friend. It's complicated."

"The ninja world sure does seem complicated." Renji, the 6th division lieutenant, comments. The ninjas just shrug and the 4th division captain, Unohana asks,

"Is there anything else you would like to tell us?"

"Um, well. We are ranked by our abilities. First is academy student. Then if you pass a certain exam you are a genin and get placed in a team of a jonin and two other genin, and to become a chunin you take another exam where they test your mind, your survival skills and putting you in a tournament against another ninja. Then it's basically the same to become a jonin and ANBU. Then there is the leader of the village, the Hokage."

"Well your system is kind of like ours. What were your ranks before you died?" Soi Fon, the 2nd division captain, asks.

"Chunin and Itachi-san was an ANBU turned S-class criminal, one of the most dangerous ones actually." The captains and lieutenants begin to talk amongst themselves and the lieutenant of the 3rd division, Kira, asks,

"What were you trained in?" Sakura takes a deep breath and stares to speak again,

"Taijutsu which is hand to hand combat and weapon handling, genjutsu which are illusions and ninjutsu which are techniques used with the elements by hand signs. There are also special techniques like Itachi-san's bloodline and my healing abilities, using these techniques are hard if you don't have the right teachers. Itachi-san was born with his and I have perfect chakra control. Would you like an example?"

"NO!" Most of the people shout except for Kenpachi and Yachiru who say yes. Sakura giggles while Itachi smirks.

"Relax, I was talking about my healing abilities, but I don't know if chakra works here. Have you tried it Itachi-san?" Itachi looks and her and says,

"No, never really needed to."

"Wait, what's chakra?" Toshiro asks. Sakura thinks about it but Itachi answers for her,

"Like reiatsu, it's our life force though. If we run out we die." The Captain-Commander takes in all the information, then asks,

"Haruno-san, I take it you would like to be a Shinigami?"

"Yes, I would. If I can help any way I can."

"Very well. It would take too long for you to be in the academy, maybe I can assign someone to train you in our ways then put you in a division most suited for you." Sakura smiles wide and Rangiku steps up and says,

"Yamamoto-sotaicho, I would like to volunteer to help Sakura-chan with her training." Rangiku winks at Sakura as most of the lieutenants look at Masumoto like she's not the real one.

"Very well. That leaves the division assignment. From what you have told us, you would do well in the 2nd division which is the stealth force, 4th division the medical force or even the 12th division the research division."

"Ha! My division? Ridiculous!" the 12th division captain, Kurotsuchi scoffs. Sakura just rolls her eyes and ignores him.

"If I may, when I finish my training I would like to be placed on the 4th division. Healing is what I do best." The Captain-Commander nods and says,

"You all are dismissed. This meeting is over." The captains and lieutenants all scatter, except for Rangiku who walks over to Sakura and Itachi.

"Man Sakura-chan, you really scared most of us." Sakura rubs the back of her neck sheepishly, and says,

"Sorry. I just don't like it when people underestimate me."

"Anyways, we still need to get you changed." Sakura looks down at her outfit and blushes a little.

"You're right. See you later Itachi-san." Itachi nods at her and disappears on a blink of an eye. Rangiku blinks in confusion and says,

"Wow." The two women walk out of the barracks and quickly make it to the 10th division barracks to get Sakura changed. As the ninja puts on a black kimono, Rangiku suddenly asks,

"Sakura-chan, you sounded so strong when you were in the meeting…so how did you die?" Sakura pauses and looks down sadly. Rangiku begins to panic and stutters out,

"Oh, I didn't mean anything! You don't have to tell me!" Sakura giggles and says,

"Calm down Rangiku-chan, its fine. I'll tell you." While this was going on, the two girls didn't notice a certain captain stops by the door and listens to their conversation.

"Well where I'm from, I'm not really that strong. In fact, I was the weakest in my genin team always relying on my teammates and sensei to save me. Then one day, one of my teammates left the village to get his revenge. Remember the boy I told you about that knocked me out?"

"Yeah, the one you fell in love with. What about it?"

"He was the one that left. To kill his brother who murdered his whole clan, and succeeded too." Rangiku gasps and replies,

"That's horrible! What was this boy's name?"

"It's Uchiha Sasuke… and his brother is Uchiha Itachi." Rangiku stares at her in shock and Sakura continues,

"But now that I see Itachi-san here, I can't help but think something was going on. Anyways, when I heard about that I thought he was going to go back to the village and we can become a team again, but he didn't. He became part of the organization his brother was in and wanted to destroy the village he was from and I have no idea why." Rangiku sinks in the information and Sakura continues,

"My other teammate and I realized he was too far from his original self and gave into revenge, so while my teammate tried to stop him…I tried to kill him. I was ready to kill him, but I hesitated and he killed me." Sakura finishes changing into her kimono, which stops just above her knees and Rangiku hugs her.

"Rangiku-chan?" Masumoto shushes her and says,

"It's okay Sakura-chan. I'm here for you now. You don't have to act strong right now." Sakura slowly hugs her back and tears start falling down her cheeks. She takes a deep breath and smells alcohol on Rangiku.

"You remind me so much of my shishou, Rangiku-chan." Sakura whispers. The person who was eavesdropping clenches his fist in anger and leaves the two women alone. They finally stop hugging and Sakura wipes her tears.

"Anyways, what do you think?" Masumoto looks at Sakura and says,

"You look great Sakura-chan! And you have breasts too for being so young!" Sakura blushes and exclaims,

"Rangiku-chan!" Mastumoto looks at her up and down noticing that she kept her black boots and headband, but left her pack behind.

"Are you going to keep your headband on?" Sakura touches her headband and takes it off. She then grabs a familiar red ribbon from her pocket and ties it around her hair. Sakura smiles and says,

"That's better." Rangiku smiles back and says,

"Great! Now we need to start training you!" The lieutenant grabs Sakura's arm and drags her out of the barracks to an open training ground.

"Okay Sakura-chan. We'll start with you zanpakuto." Sakura cocks her head to the side in confusion and asks,

"What?" Rangiku laughs and pulls out her sword and shows it to her.

"This is a zanpakuto. A zanpakuto reflects a Shinigami, you are one. Once you learn your zanpakuto's name you are able to communicate and grow stronger with it. In its sealed state it's just a regular sword, but once you figure out the name, it transforms into its shikai form." Sakura stares at her, absorbing the information and nods in understanding.

"You understand, good. Now you try and listen to your zanpakuto. Close your eyes and concentrate." The former ninja does what she is told and waits. Suddenly Sakura gets transported into a field at midnight filled with cherry blossoms and the woman she saw before.

You have come back child. Will you receive me?

'I want to receive you.' The woman nods, grabs a fan and puts it in front of her face.

Then my name is… Sakura cups her ear and says,

'I can't hear you.' The woman sighs and replies,

You are not ready. You still have doubt in your heart. Sakura clenches her fists and yells,

'I don't. I am sure I can do it.'

Your heart says otherwise child. Sakura calms down and asks,

'What do I have to do?' The woman and background start to fade as her last words were,

Face your doubt. The scenery starts to change and Sakura gasps at the familiar place.

'Konoha.' A figure starts coming out from the trees and Sakura gets ready for battle, but falters when she recognizes the person.

'Sasuke.' Sasuke just looks down at her and smirks. He then grabs her neck and holds her up in the air as he sneers.

"You are weak Sakura! You relied too much on Naruto and me. You're useless." Tears start falling down her cheeks and Sasuke smirks at her pain. Sakura then grabs onto Sasuke's hand and squeezes it hard, making him let go of her, not noticing the leaves around them are swirling around them as the wind gets stronger. She falls to the ground, gasping for breath and says,

"I am not weak or useless! You are! You gave up as soon as you left the village. I am stronger than you!" Sasuke growls, but she doesn't give him time to react as she punches him across his face making him go flying into the forest. Konoha begins to disappear and the field scenery comes back along with the woman.

Very good child. I see no doubt in your heart now. The woman takes the fan away from her face and shows Sakura her face. The woman turns out to be a beautiful geisha with a white kimono. Sakura gasps at her beauty as the geisha bows and says,

You are ready. My name is Mayonaka Tsumjikaze, at your service Sakura-sama. I promise to be your power and never let you down. Sakura bows back and replies,

'Midnight Whirlwind, thank you. I also promise to never let you down and never give up.' The geisha transforms into a black Japanese War Fan with daggers at the end and ends up in Sakura's hands.

Sakura suddenly wakes up and realizes her zanpakuto is in her hand. It reverts back into its katana form and Sakura smiles.

"I did it." She whispers and looks up at Rangiku who also smiles.

Tell me what you think. I love reviews. :3
