Hi guys well it took me a long time to write this chapter, thank you to all of you guys who reviewed. I still haven't figuered out the pairing. Also before you start reading I had a hard time naming her sword and abilities please don't laugh at me =) I beg of you. Enjoy. Please remember to review.

Disclaimer: I almost forgot Kagome's sword name is from the new Otome game called Shirahana no ori, but the sword design is my imagination.

A Past

Kagome ran through the hallways trying to reach her classroom on time. This morning she woke up to find herself locked in her very own room. After successfully unlocking herself, she ran into obstacles on her way to the academy. All around her people started snickering at her, especially a group of girls. Kagome never saw the foot that was extended in her way, as she fell onto the floor.

Her books and papers scattered everywhere and full blown laughter was heard everywhere. Kagome's hands tightened into fists and she looked down at the ground trying to hold back frustrated tears.

She snapped her head up when she saw a pale hand reach down and gather her stuff.

Byakuya had left the training grounds after observing potential candidates to be placed in his squad when he witnessed one of the students being tripped and humiliated.

"You shouldn't show weakness in front of potential enemies." He said in his usual cold voice as he knelt down to help her gather her things.

He almost flinched when he saw deep blue eyes gaze at him. Gathering her things he offered her a hand up. Her slim delicate hand almost reminded him of Hisana's except he felt warmth.

"Next time be more sure of your surroundings." He gave her, her things and retreated quickly before the girl brought back anymore more painful memories.

Kagome gazed at his back, until the whispers around her brought her back to reality. Everybody was glaring at her. Kagome sighed. The man just made her day a whole lot worst.

…...

Kagome gazed off at the clouds her sword in hand as she awaited her turn to mock fight. Her thoughts wandered to the handsome captain she met yesterday and the one just this morning.

"Oh good morning Captain Ukitake."

Kagome turned around to see her teacher speaking with the white haired captain from yesterday. A silent blush appeared on her cheeks and she turned back around when he turned her way and gave her a small smile.

"Every one line up! Captain Ukitake of the 13th squad wants to witness your fighting skills. Higurashi and Kimura you're up first." The teacher turned around to speak to the captain.

"Kagome Higurashi as you might have heard is the prodigy of the academy, already knowing her swords Shikai, and has excelled in Kido. Danto Kimura is only second to her."

Both turned around as Kagome and Danto faced each other in the middle of the field.

Danto sized up his opponent Kagome Higurashi. Prodigy of the academy, everybody picked on her and also rumor said that she could be very dangerous, he concluded that he had a fair chance of beating her since he was second to her, all he had to watch out for was her sword.

"Bloom out of season, Shirahana no ori." Kagome held her sword out as petals spun around it. When they disappeared her sword transformed. The top of the handle had a flower shape with a jewel in the middle while vines twisted around each other on the handle.

Danto looked incredulously at her Shikai the hand on his sword started shaking as he saw the raw power she had. 'I won't let this prodigy beat me I will show her and everyone who is better.' With new found confidence he charged at her.

Kagome jumped out of his way.

"Petal's of Subjugation." A blast of flower petals made their way towards him. Danto tried hacking at them only there were to many of them. The petal's suddenly turned into needle's and they pricked his arms and legs.

Danto couldn't feel his body, he fell in a heap on to the ground unmoving.

"Kagome Higurashi has won the fight!" The teacher announced as he saw their was no chance for Danto to move again.

"Amazing." Ukitake said in awe.

"She defeated her opponent in one move. How is it that she is still in the academy."

"That's what I have been asking myself also. We have requested to the head captain for her to be graduated early, but for some reason he has declined."

Ukitake looked to see Kagome put her sword away and make her way towards Danto. She offered him a hand up only for it to be slapped away.

"I don't need help from someone like you." Danto said through clutched teeth. His friends made their way towards him and helped him up.

"Get away from him."

"You did this on purpose." "How could you be so violent."

He could hear people shout all around her. He was about to intervene only for a hand on his chest stopped him.

"Leave her be. She needs to deal with this herself." The teacher said in a grim voice.

"You mean this happens to her all the time." Ukitake said in shock.

Kagome just looked down on the ground and started walking away from the field her hands clutched at her side.

"That's all for today class you are dismissed."

All the students suddenly surrounded Danto and praised him for the fight and commented on how cruel Kagome was to do something like that to him.

Ukitake watched Kagome leaving, everybody glaring at her back.

He dismissed himself from the teacher and ran to catch up to her.

"Taisho!" He stopped in his tracks when both his subordinates popped in front of him.

"Taisho! You were suppose to be at Squad 4 for your check up today." He was suddenly grabbed from both hands and dragged away.

"No wait, I have something important to do." "Well it can wait." Kiyone said dragging him harder when he started to resist.

"Nothing is more important than your health Taisho." Sentaro said from the other side.

Both dragged the unwilling captain away.

…...

Kagome looked from behind a tree at the trio. She felt relieved when those two people dragged the captain away from chasing after her. She wanted to be alone.

Kagome walked herself back towards her room. She turned the lights on and fell down on the bed face down. She was so tired from today's events. From the humiliation in the hall to the criticism after the fight.

That's why she hated fighting with her peers. Everything she did was either viewed as cruel or showing off to them.

'Maybe I should just quit training to be a shinigami.' She thought. It was never her choice when it came to that.

Once so long ago it seemed she was an ordinary person living in the 10th district. Life wasn't hard there as it was in the other lower districts but she never knew how she ended up their. She just one day woke up and found herself lying in a field of grass not having any memories of anything other than her name.

Before she knew it she found herself a job as a florist and found herself a quiet peaceful life. That was until that fateful night.

She still remembered it clearly, she had to work late since it was very busy that day and found herself walking back home in the middle of the night. It was when she almost reached her house that she felt a strange presence behind her that's when she was attacked by a hollow. It hit her on her back and she fell on to the floor. Feeling afraid she closed her eyes, and awaited for herself to be eaten only to hear the screams of the hollow. She opened her eyes and stared in awe at the pick bluish light that was escaping from her body, and destroying the hollow.

She got up on shaking legs and went inside her house, she decided to keep that event a secret. But a passing Shinigami saw everything and the next day while she was working a lieutenant and a squad of Shinigami's came and took her away.

She then found herself in the academy without any explanation only that she was to stay there and complete all the courses to become a Shinigami.

Kagome turned on her back and faced the window to see the moon and stars out already.

She closed her eyes and dreamt of past she saw only as a dream. Never seeing the star up at the sky shining only for her.

Hope you enjoyed. PLEASE REVIEW!
