I groaned and opened my eyes. I bolted upright when I realized I was still in the warehouse. I must have passed out last night…. Last night, I sighed, remembering what had occurred.

I turned around. My hollow spirit stood there. She was undoubtedly beautiful, but that beauty was wasted on me, I felt no affection towards it, and my hollow side was ugly to me. My Kuragari looked similar to me on the outside. Kuragari had golden hair, in the same hair style as mine, long and hanging down to the middle of the back. She had yellow eyes surrounded by black, just like my eyes when I had my hollow mask on. She had tan skin, was the same height as me, and wore white shinigami robes.

She was practically opposite, but the same. I had silver hair, icy blue eyes, and pale skin. She was me, but not me. I glared. "What do you want? Why have you brought me here?"

Kuragari laughed, "Oh? Can't I just have a nice chat with my light side without her harassing me?"

I exploded, "Me harassing you?!? More like the other way around! You are such a jerk, you think you can do whatever you want, but you can't! I'm the one in control!"

Kuragari laughed, "If you had complete control then you wouldn't be here!"

I snarled. My rage bubbling over.

"Kuragari, be quiet! You are upsetting the mistress!" A sharp, commanding voice rang out. I turned around and relaxed when I saw my zampokutou spirit, Raikou (as I called he, I didn't like to call her Kuragari no Raikou all the time because Kuragari is a jerk about it).

"Raikou!" I ran over and hugged her. She smiled at me.

"Kasumi, it is good to see you." She said. "You have been growing very strong."

I smiled at my zampokutou. Raikou was very beautiful. She had flowing blue and white hair that seemed to spark and glow, like electricity. Her skin was pale like mine, and her eyes were a shocking electric blue. She dressed in all black and silver. She wore a black tank top over a silver long sleeve shirt with black jeans with silver chains and black platform flip-flops. She smiled at me. "As much as I love seeing you, you must return to the Soul Society and regain your consciousness. Forgive Kuragari. She went to far when she called you here."

I was then falling, falling into darkness…

I sighed, Kuragari was a $$ to have done that, but Raikou at least had been nice…. I groaned and stood up. Suddnely I gasped and shunpoed out and toward the 13th squad barracks. Captain Ukitake! How could I have forgotten? He must have been worried about me…

I burst through the doors of the barracks and down the hall into my captain's office. He looked up from his paper work. "Kasumi! There you are I was getting worried. Slept in late?" He chuckled, "We just got a new batch of paper work from the tenth division. Will you help me?"

"Of course captain, forgive my lateness." I was soon sitting at my desk; head bent over paper, as my eyes scanned over it and I 1quickly signed my name in some places.

Sorry this chapter is so late and so short; the next one I write will be better, promise. -Fangirl
