Heya! :D

Akemi: Hi.

Me: Cookies go to xXwhitebunnyXx for reviewing and Blondie6719 for adding Bloodied Night to story alerts!

As for xXwhitebunnyXx's question if the ferret was part of her power, my answer is-

Akemi: *puts hand over Umbry's mouth*

No spoilers! :O

Me: Fine, fine. I'm not posting the suffixes guide because I'm lazy.

As a few reminders, this fanfiction follows the anime and starts before the arrancar arc.

I DO NOT OWN BLEACH OR AQUARION.

ONWARD TO THE STORY!~

*LINE BREAK BECAUSE MY COMPUTER DOESN'T LIKE LINES*

"Come on Akemi, let's go!" A young girl with long, wavy strawberry blond hair and chocolate brown eyes cried as she raced through a lush green park. Expertly the girl dodged and weaved around trees and people, a ivory scarf around her neck fanning out behind her as she ran.

Flowers were blooming on the ground and green new leaves graced the trees. Spring was filled with life and the energy from it was seeping into the two children as they ran through the park.

"Youko!" Akemi, appearing around seven years old, whined. Her blond hair was swept to one side, helping cover up her red eye "Wait up!"

"You'll have to catch me if you want Kyatu back!" Youko paused for a moment to turn around so she was running backwards and wave the prized ferret doll in the air before turning back around to hop over a puddle of mud.

"No fair!" Akemi cried, increasing her pace so she was just out of arm's reach of Youko. Another burst of speed allowed Akemi to run next to Youko and snatch Kyatu out of Youko's hands.

"Hey!" Youko protested as sheslid to a halt, panting though she had a large grin on her face.

Sticking her tongue out at Youko, Akemi examined her ferret to make sure he wasn't dirty.

"I think Kyatu has a bit of mud on him," Akemi declared as she scrutinized her ferret's long and silky ivory fur. There was a long brown stripe down the ferret's back, running all the way down to its tail. The ferret had ears of the same color. Small claws adorned the ferret's paws. It had light blue eyes to finish off the look.

Youko inspected Kyatu's fur before pulling out two brushes "We can brush the mud out!" she said happily.

"All right," Akemi nodded, walking over to a bench and perching Kyatu in her lap. Carefully she and Youko began brushing Kyatu's fur.

Halfway through Youko began singing softly.

"On the day the earth began, under the tree of life.

We listened together to the sound of distant whale song.

Everything we lost, and everything we loved.

I embrace with these arms, but where do I wander now?

The amber star above holds its secrets.

This undying, brilliant spirit, without you but a vengeful angel.

Please, do not ravage these wings, I was born to know these feelings.

It's been ten and two thousand years since I first loved you.

Eight thousand years later, I yearned you even more.

In one hundred million and two thousand more, I will still love you.

On that day, through my torment I began to hear the music.

Before this world ends, and before our lives are exhausted,

I want to cast off this latent grief, and embrace your scent.

If you listen, you can hear the memories of the sea, and drink of the despair of the lustrous moon.

Reborn endlessly in the light eternal, your dreams will never sully.

You were born to carry these wishes.

It's been ten and two thousand years since I first loved you.

Eight thousand years later, I yearned you even more.

In one hundred million and two thousand more, I will still love you.

On that day, through my torment I began to hear the music.

You grow up once again, again and again, going off far away.

In anguish I watch over you, unable to rest...

Just to sing your name...

It's been ten and two thousand years since I first loved you.

Eight thousand years later, I yearned you even more.

In one hundred million and two thousand more, I will still love you. On that day...

It's been ten and two thousand years since I first loved you.

Eight thousand years later, I yearned you even more.

Even in one hundred million and two thousand years, I will still love you."

By the time Youko finished her song, a small crowd had gathered. They began applauding loudly, which made Youko blush. Hesitantly Youko stood up and bowed, which only made the crowd cheer more.

Akemi joined in with the cheering crowd, grinning widely as she applauded her friend. Youko had an amazing voice for someone her age, and she loved singing to Akemi.

After a few minutes the crowd gradually dispersed and Youko sat down next to Akemi again. Nervously she adjusted her scarf, playing with the ends.

"It's getting kind of late. Should we go home now?" Akemi asked, looking up at the darkening sky.

Youko nodded "Yeah, that's a good idea," she said, standing up and beginning to walk onto the sidewalk.

Akemi followed behind Youko, Kyatu cradled in her arms. Silently they walked along the sidewalk until Akemi felt something wet land on her nose.

"Hm?" Curiously Akemi put a hand in front of her, a few more raindrops landing in it. She looked skyward and saw rain clouds blocking out the few stars that had come out.

"We'd better get into some shelter. It looks like this storm will pass over quickly," Youko observed thoughtfully.

"Good idea," Akemi said, looking around as the drizzle of rain increased.

"I think there are a few shops in the next few blocks. Someone there might let us stay until this rain passes over," Youko said, continuing walking down the sidewalk.

Akemi nodded and broke into a jog, Youko following her example shortly. They ran for about a block before they passed by a man under an umbrella.

The man under the umbrella grinned, showing off the scar on his chin. Wind picked up, making Youko pause for a moment to smooth down her red and purple plaid skirt so it wouldn't fly up.

Quickly, taking advantage of Youko's temporary stop, the man grabbed her arm. As soon as he got a firm grip, several other people stepped out of the shadows and surrounded Youko.

Whimpering, Youko shrunk back a bit. Her hands were clutching her scarf as if by some miracle it could save her.

A man with short brown hair that fanned up at the ends and a goatee grabbed Youko's scarf and examined it, pulling Youko towards himself in the process.

"LET YOUKO GO YOU JERKS!" Akemi yelled, running over and kicking the man in the shin.

Not that it did much good, anyways. The man didn't even look at Akemi when she kicked him. Instead, with his free hand the man made a motion to two members of the group, twins with blue hair who were both wearing a different hat.

The two twins grinned and pulled bottles of water out of their pockets, flipping the caps off.

"Zeige dich, Guhl and Gunther," Akemi couldn't tell which twin said what, as she was suddenly dunked underwater.

Wait, this doesn't make sense! The logical part of Akemi's brain screamed as she tried to push to the surface of the water around her I'm on land, there shouldn't be any water!

With a sudden movement all of the water around Akemi parted. Falling onto the pavement, with waterlogged senses Akemi vaguely heard Youko scream her name while the man with brown hair held her back.

"So, what do you think of them?" The silver-haired man with the scar on his chin asked "It didn't look like the blonde one could activate her doll. But her friend's doll is only sleeping."

"Yes, once Youko's doll awakens we will not lose," A woman with turquoise hair who was wearing a purple dress said "We should just leave Akemi until she is able to activate her doll. Once she can we'll come and retrieve her."

"I agree," The man said "Now, let's go," he said, pulling a piece of cloth from his pocket and putting it over Youko's mouth.

Slumping over, Youko would have fallen if not for the brown haired man catching her.

Akemi tried to cry out, but instead only succeeded in coughing up water. The sound brought the attention of the man with the scar on his chin.

Walking over leisurely, the man brought the cloth close to Akemi's mouth before she weakly scooted away from it.

Sighing, the man grabbed Akemi's neck to hold her down and forcefully pressed the cloth over her mouth.

Attempting to avoid breathing, Akemi glared vehemently at the man and attempted to throw him off her, only to have him catch her wrist. He quickly twisted it backward, making Akemi involuntarily gasp. In the process she inhaled the fumes on the cloth. The fumes smelled strangely of flowers.

Akemi's vision became even more blurry and she fell limp. Smirking, the man put the cloth back in his pocket and straightened up, walking back to the group.

The man with brown hair picked up Youko bridal style, and in a flash all of them were gone, leaving Akemi alone in a rain-drenched world.

Closing her eyes, Akemi succumbed to darkness as she listened to the raindrops falling all around her.

*LINE BREAK OF SHEER AWESOMENESS*

I wrote legit filler! I'm so proud of myself seeing as filler is nearly impossible for me to write! :D

Akemi: …Yay?

Me: Anyways, most of you guys will be able to figure out some stuff from this chapter. Feel free to go back to last chapter, read it over, and facepalm. Note what I called the ferret doll.

Akemi: :D

Read and review please!

Me: I almost forgot, this will turn into HisagixOCxIchigo soon. Or at least OCxIchigo. Not sure how soon, though.
