Chapter 4

Three hundred or many more years later

A six year old looking Sakura was Shunpo to the Shinō Academy. She was looking for Yoruichi and Suì-Fēng. Now that Suì-Fēng attended Shinō Academy Sakura won't be spending that much time with her, so Yoruichi and Sakura decided to surprise Suì-Fēng with a congratulation party. Sadly Suì-Fēng didn't take it too well; she practically beat the shit out of Urahara. And of course there is always Yoruichi laughing her ass off; then there's Sakura who did the same thing just like her Nee-Chan. Some people just think that Sakura is hanging out with the purple hair she devil too much. Sakura unlike her Nee-Chan knows when to stop laugh did, but still giggles once in a while.

Sadly Suì-Fēng isn't the only one who will be seen less; it was also Byakuya who will be seen less as well. Since both Byakuya and herself now wears the shinigami uniform with pride, but they were in different division. Byakuya is in the sixth division no surprise there, and is at third seat already while his Otō (father) is lieutenant of the sixth division. His Sofu obviously is the captain of the sixth division; sadly because of this people believe that he got to third seat because of his Sofu, but Byakuya proved them wrong. There was a reason why he made third seat; Sakura was really proud of Byakuya.

While Sakura got into the first, second, fourth, and twelfth divisions, apparently Sakura was good enough to be in the first many reasons, and she was fast and tough enough to get in the stealth force. She was great at healing people, and some of them wouldn't dare leave the fourth barracks without permission from Captain Unohana Retsu and Lieutenant Yamada Seinosuke of the fourth division; unless they want a beating from Sakura. Many other shinigamis stay because she can be nice and gentle if they were good. Then there's the twelfth division well she was smart enough for that. She could have easily got into all of them, but Sakura didn't want to spread herself too much. It's not like she could get in all of the division; she just wanted to go into only the top four that will need her the most. It is also because of this that she will not be seeing much of her friends.

Well at least Sakura will be able to visit the sixth division once in a while unlike the Shinō Academy; Yoruichi told her to not bother Suì-Fēng. upon walking to the sixth barracks; Sakura saw Kuchiki Sōjun walking towards her. Whenever she sees Sōjun gentle smile she can't help but smile back it's like looking at an older Byakuya, but Sōjun had blue eyes while Byakuya has slate gray eyes while Ginrei also haves slate gray eyes. Funny Byakuya looks a lot like his Otō, but his Otō appear gentler than Byakuya. Then there's the eyes both Ginrei and Byakuya share. "Ah Sakura-Hime are you here to deliver that scrolls from the head captain?" asked the gentle man. "Yes he did Sōjun-San!" Sōjun chucked but it was still gentle just like when Ginrei chucks.

"Could you please give me the scrolls then Sakura-Hime?"

"Hai! Here you go Sōjun-San." Sakura handed him the scrolls.

"Umm…Sōjun-San can I ask you something?"

"Sure go ahead Sakura-Hime; I will try and answer them properly."

"What are the scrolls for?"

"Oh…I think it is better if head captain Yamamoto-Sama told you or captain Urahara-San."

"Why?"

"Because I do not know the answer…I am sorry."

"It's ok Sōjun-San! I'll just ask Urahara-San bye tell Byakuya I said hello!"

"I will Sakura-Hime."

Before Sakura could go talk to Urahara, she first needed to go to the fourth barracks to help captain Unohana. As she walked to the fourth barracks; someone stopped her. "There you are Sakura-Hime! Head captain Yamamoto-Sama is looking for you." said Aizen extending his hand to Sakura. She smiled at him, and held his hand. "Aizen-San what doses Yamamoto Sofu-Sama want?" ask the little pinkette.

"I simply don't know Sakura-Hime."

"I see."

"Don't worry Sakura-Hime; you'll learn soon enough."

Aizen saw how his answer made the pinkette happy, he smiled at how adorable she looked when she smiled. He release his hand from Sakura's hand, and ruffled her hair. When she laugh he couldn't help but look at her with softness in his eye. Sakura always had this effect on people no matter how cold they are at first. When taken with the opportunity she hurried up and held Aizen's hand once again. Yet another fact Sakura loves holding hands with people.

Once they reach the first barracks; they saw both Urahara and Kurotsuchi. Urahara waved at both the pinkette and the brunette; while Kurotsuchi tap his fingers together repeatedly (you know like when he sees a new experiment to experiment on.) Then he gave one of his creepy smiles. Even Aizen was creep out with his smile, but for some odd reason Sakura was never creep out by anything. It's like she have some sort of force field around her. Almost everyone in the seireitei believes that Sakura isn't scared of anything, but they would be wrong. Because Sakura is a tonitrophobia; tonitrophobia is the fear of thunder. Sakura could never handle hearing thunder for some reason. (Everyone is scared of something no matter how stupid it is; like the fear of gravity I'm not kidding there are people that are terrified of that.)

"Ah! Sakura-Chan we're over here!" yelled Urahara while wave at her.

"Well well well if it isn't Aizen are you here to finally except my offer to experiment drugs on you?" said the creepy scientist.

"Sorry…Kurotsuchi-San but I got to go captain Hirako-San need me to get some important paperwork." Once that was done Aizen left as soon as possible he looked back to wave bye to Sakura.

"Urahara-San, Kurotsuchi-San what am I needed for?"

"We'll talk about it inside; you know top secret and all." Said the light-blond.

"So no one knows about this?" asked the little pinkette.

"That's right lets hurry up and get inside the sooner we finish the sooner I can get back to my experiments." Said Kurotsuchi.

All three of them walked into the first division barracks; Sakura lead Urahara and Kurotsuchi to the office of the head captain. Seeing how there is only little shinigamis in the first division; it isn't surprising the first division is one of the hardest to get in. those who do considered model Shinigami, and Sakura happens to be one of them.

"This place is sooo…empty." Said Urahara while looking around for any other shinigami.

"Well what can you expect, they can't let just anyone in. said the mad scientist.

"That is true, and if they did the first division would probably be a joke."

"You shouldn't talk about any division that you don't know about Urahara-San and Kurotsuchi-San; it would be bad if any of the other caught you talking rudely about them." Said Sakura cutting into their conversation.

Sakura spotted Yamamoto in front of his office. Looking at him it was obvious that he had been waiting for them to arrive. She smiled and ran to him like any other normal child would have done to a parent or grandparent. "Yamamoto Sofu-Sama!" said an overly happy pinkette. "Hello Sakura-Hime how was your day?" said Yamamoto. He bent down to carry her like any other child would have by any adult they were close to.

"My day is good so far Yamamoto Sofu-Sama!"

"That's good to hear Sakura-Hime."

"Yamamoto Sofu-Sama why are we here for?"

"Ah yes I almost forgot; please come in."

The four of them went in the room to discuss something. Yamamoto put Sakura down and went behind his desk. He started looking for something that might be important. After a while of waiting; Yamamoto finely found the dame important scroll. He signals them to come near his desk.

They did what they were told to do or in this case signaled to do. Yamamoto opened the scroll to reviled important information on some hollows and their different abilities. Sakura took one look at the scroll, and had already memorized every piece of information. If she wanted to she could repeat every word in the scroll without failure. It wasn't hard for her to remember; after all she did have photographic memory.

Once Sakura was done analyzing the scroll; she handed it to Urahara. Urahara started analyzing every part of the information; after that he looked to see any type of flaws in each hollow. He started to write down all of the information on a piece of paper for later. Once he was done writing everything down; he set the scroll in front of Kurotsuchi. Kurotsuchi held it up to his face, and started to show the usual creepy smile he had on. "Well, well, well how very interesting; I can't wait to experiment on them. Said Kurotsuchi.

"It seems like the hollows have gain power; that could be trouble for us." Said Urahara.

"You got a point there captain Urahara, but its sooo interesting don't you think?"

"Yes it is Kurotsuchi-San; I can't argue with that type of logic."

While Urahara and Kurotsuchi where talking to each other about the hollows; Sakura was too busy on the fact that the hollows gaining power could be a bad thing. She remembers one of the hollows abilities; apparently it hand the ability to travel to one place to another. But what troubles Sakura is how does this certain hollow travels. 'Maybe it bends space and time or perhaps it goes throw different dimensions.' Thought the little pinkette. Sakura started to form formulas of the hollows ability.

Two hours later

After talking for two hours on each hollow's abilities; Sakura was tired now all she wanted was a nap. Sadly she had training to go to with Yoruichi. The little pinkette Shunpo herself under the Sōkyoku hill training space, which Urahara built; when Yoruichi, Tessai, and himself were children. They know use it to train Sakura or create new type of Kidō.

When Sakura arrived at Sōkyoku hill; Yoruichi was already waiting at the entrance. The purple haired woman waved at the little pinkette, but for some odd reason Sakura felt like she wasn't going to see Yoruichi for a long time or as if it was the last time to see her face. She clenched her hand over her chest where her heart is. She felt like her heart was bleeding out, out of sorrow telling her to spend time with everybody as much as possible. Unknown to Sakura was that a tear sled down her cheek. Yoruichi saw this look on her face, and thought that maybe someone is bullying her or something. "Sakura Imouto-San is something wrong?" said Yoruichi worriedly over her little sister.

"Huh?" said Sakura surprised that she was crying. "Oh I don't know Yoruichi Nee-Chan."

"Are you sure nothing's wrong?"

"Can we spend time with everyone else today Yoruichi Nee-Chan?"

"Well sure if you want to, so why the change all of the sudden?"

"…I don't know…"

When Yoruichi looked at Sakura's face; she knew something was up but what was it. One way or another she was going to find out, too bad it was something she was going to regret ever finding out. That's when she heard her stomach growled out loud, but it wasn't only hers it was also Sakura's. The one thing that the whole entire seireitei knows is that the whole entire Shihōin clan is known for are mastering Shunpo, amazing beauty, bottomless stomachs, and never getting fat no matter how much they eat. Well anyone that's born into the Shihōin clan; those who marry into the Shihōin clan are a different matter.

Yoruichi had sent a hell butterfly/s to everyone. Seeing how it's right about lunch hour, most liking that everyone was coming. They were headed to a restaurant. Yoruichi wanted to Shunpo there, but Sakura wanted to Shunpo halfway there and walk the rest of the way. The purple hair woman looked at her younger sister worriedly. 'Sakura Imouto-San why are you acting so strangely…is there something wrong; why won't you tell me?' thought Yoruichi getting more worried by the second.

While Sakura and Yoruichi were walking they ran into Aizen, Gin, and Tōsen. "Hello Yoruichi-San, hello Sakura-Hime how are you?" asked Aizen with his usual smile.

"Everything is fine." Said Sakura happily.

She walked past everyone not wanting to lose time with everyone else. Aizen caught a glimpse of sadness in her eyes, and of course Gin caught it too. Tōsen on the other hand could hear her voice which also sounded sad. Tōsen walked close to Yoruichi to ask her what was wrong with his favorite little pinkette. "Yoruichi-San what is wrong with Sakura-Hime?" Yoruichi looked at Tōsen not at all surprised that he knew something was wrong with her.

"I don't know myself Tōsen-San; I've been asking her myself but she won't tell me."

"She sounds sad…I don't like it."

"I don't blame you I don't like it either."

"I think you're not the only one catching on Tōsen-San."

"What do you mean Yoruichi-San?"

"We all know Sakura Imouto-San pretty well…this is…not like her."

"You got a point there."

Gin was right beside Sakura wondering what was wrong, so he ask. He obviously had nothing to lose. "Ah Sakura-Hime is there something wrong you look paler than usual?" asked the silver haired boy while looking at his friend worriedly. "No nothing is wrong Gin-Kun; why would you ask a silly question like that?" said Sakura with a fake smile on her face that screamed out I'm a fake smile look at me. Then theirs Sakura's eyes that look too dull too lifeless for his liking, Sakura's eyes seem to always carry around fire in them or a spark. Gin decided to let it go for now; well until he gets back up from Byakuya and Suì-Fēng.

Sakura ran into the restaurant to tell the workers that there will be more people coming in. she went to her favorite spot and sat down. Byakuya, Ginrei, and Sōjun came in, and saw Sakura sitting in her favorite spot ordering a bunch of food for herself. Byakuya's left eye twitched just looking at Sakura ordering. 'Dame the Shihōin clan and their legendary stomachs.' Though Byakuya irritated that Sakura could eat that much. "Sakura-Hime are you already ordering without us?" ask/said Sōjun kindly to the little pinkette.

Little by little everyone was coming into the restaurant of Yoruichi's choice. They spent time looking for something that Yoruichi would like Before the others got there, it took the purple hair woman about five munities to finally choose a dame restaurant. Aizen seemed happy that the purple hair woman finally settled on one.

The last person to arrive was Hirako (its Shinji if you don't know his surname). To everyone he looked dead tired. 'Maybe Yamamoto Sofu-Sama is giving him too much paper work; I feel sorry for Hirako-San and the other captains and their lieutenants.' Though Sakura, while eating her tenth blow of ramen, fifth onigiri, twelfth sushi, and fifty-fifth dango. The same goes for Yoruichi as well. Knowing both of them; they probably still be eating when everyone else is done.

Once Sakura and Yoruichi where done eating, and where satisfied with their full tummies. Kurotsuchi was still interested in the Shihōin clan abilities to stay thin; an interesting subject for him. In fact one day he's going to find out why the Shihōin clan has bottomless stomachs. But back to the matter at hand Sakura, Yamamoto, Urahara, and Kurotsuchi all had to go; just to disgust about the new data that both Urahara and Kurotsuchi discover.

"Bye I'll see most of you guys later." Said Sakura; waving at those who were just leaving for work or going back home to rest.

"See you later at the manor Sakura Imouto-San!" said Yoruichi happily forgetting that something was wrong with her little sister.

This time intend of going to the first division barracks; they went to the twelfth division barracks. Since there will be new data and information on the hollow problem. Urahara typed on the keyboard for the hollow data to pop up. Thanks to Sakura for some of the new theories on some of the hallows abilities. Then there are Urahara's theories on some of the other hollows; after his theories there's Kurotsuchi's as well.

Yamamoto stroked his beard thinking about the probability of sending in a group of shinigami to eliminate the problem. Letting the group of hollows roam the Rukon District could be trouble in the long run, so he started to come up with a team. "Urahara-San I want you to assemble a team to eliminate all of the hallows that roam the Rukon District." Said the head captain.

Urahara sighed in annoyance, but he already started to list passable candidates. 'Lets see who should come alone with me…ah I know!' thought Urahara already writing a list of people. Sakura looked at him knowing that she was going with Urahara for this little mission. "Urahara-San…should I start packing for the trip?" asked the little pinkette.

"What? Oh how do you know that you're coming along?"

"It's quite obvious that I'll be going with you."

"Ah Sakura-Chan you now so well."

"Yeah well enough that you are in love with Yoruichi Nee-Chan."

"WHAT! I mean what are you talking about?" Said Urahara, while looking away trying to hide his red face.

"Captain Urahara is this true?" asked the mad scientist.

"Of course not Kurotsuchi-San."

"Of course he does; haven't you seen the way he looks at Yoruichi Nee-Chan?"

Urahara covered Sakura's mouth. Preventing her from speaking anymore so that Sakura wouldn't talk about his huge crush on her older sister. He Laugh nervously trying to avoid Kurotsuchi and Yamamoto's gaze. "Ha ha ha ha-ha I'm screwed…" said Urahara.

"I wonder what Yoruichi will say if she found out?" asked Kurotsuchi mostly to himself.

"You wouldn't dare!" Urahara yell angrily.

"Don't worry they won't tell Urahara-San." Said the confident little pinkette.

"Good I want Yoruichi to hear it from me and no one else."

Sakura smiled at Urahara. She knew that Urahara liked Yoruichi maybe even love without him knowing himself. After all Yoruichi and Urahara have been best friends for years; it was bound to happen with one of them liking the other more than a friend. Urahara hurried up and finish the list of people to come along with Sakura and himself. He handed the list to Yamamoto, so that he can approve of. Yamamoto nodded his head that he approves of the people that would be going. "Kurotsuchi-San I want you to get these people and tell them to pack." Said Yamamoto.

"Why do they need to pack head captain Yamamoto-Sama?" ask Kurotsuchi.

"Who knows how long it will take to eliminate the problem."

"I see…I'll be on my way then."

Kurotsuchi said his goodbyes to them and left to go find the people on the list. Urahara went off to get things ready, and Yamamoto left to his office to finish paperwork. Sakura decided to go to the Shihōin manor to get ready herself.

At the Shihōin manor

Sakura got to the Shihōin manor's gate. The gates to the manor opened up to her, and as soon she got in. the people from the Haruno and the Shihōin clan bowed down to her. And of course the servants bowed as well. "Welcome home Sakura-Hime." They all said in union. She looked left and right; all she sees is purple and pink hair, dark skin and pale milky skin, yellow cat like eyes and dark green forest eyes. Sakura looked more of a Haruno than a Shihōin; well almost her eyes carry more of a gem look. If Sakura remember correctly the Haruno clan was known for their demon like strength, the amazing ability to heal fast, and the Haruno women were known for being cute. Or in Sakura's case beyond adorable. While the Shihōin clan were known for stealth, bottomless stomachs, and their amazing beauty.

Sakura walk into her room; she looked around for her backpack. She found it in her closet under some clean clothes. She started to pack. She packed three shinigami uniforms, the gifts she got on her birthday excluding the kimono since she grow out of it, and money that would last more than five time a shinigami's life time(obviously more than a human life time). She was right about done when she heard a knock on her door. "Come in." said Sakura. Suì-Fēng came into her room and looked around.

"Sakura-Chan I hear that you're going out on a mission, and I got you something." Said Suì-Fēng shyly.

"What is it Suì-Fēng-Chan?"

"W-well I-I asked some people i-if I c-could get an academy female s-s-student uniform for y-you." Suì-Fēng stuttered while blushing.

"Thank you Suì-Fēng-Chan! But I'm going to have to try it when I get back."

"W-wait take it with you."

"Ok Suì-Fēng-Chan!" said Sakura giving her an adorable smile.

Suì-Fēng wanted to faint at the sight of Sakura's smile. 'Sakura-Chan is the most adorable person ever alive!' thought Suì-Fēngwhile blushing heavily. Sakura looked at Suì-Fēng, and saw flowers coming out of the background. Sakura went up to Suì-Fēng and put her hand on Suì-Fēng's cheek. This made Suì-Fēng blush uncontrollably. "Eh Suì-Fēng-Chan are you sick or something?" asked Sakura. The one thing that Suì-Fēng could do at that moment was faint.

Sakura once again heard knocking on her door. "Come in." she said. Yoruichi enter Sakura's room. Only to see Sakura packing the academy uniform in her backpack, and Suì-Fēng sleeping on the ground. "Sakura Imouto-San why is Suì-Fēng sleeping on the floor?" asked Yoruichi. Sakura looked over her shoulder; she looked down to Suì-Fēng then up to Yoruichi. Then the only thing that she could do at that moment; she shrugged. "I don't know…maybe she's sick or something." Sakura answered back.

"So you left her on the floor?"

"She'll wake up soon; she is after all a big girl."

"That's true."

Instead of Yoruichi helping Suì-Fēng like any normal person would do. She grabbed a brush with ink, and started drawing on Suì-Fēng's face.

"So what's with the academy uniform?"

"Oh Suì-Fēng-Chan wanted me to try it on for her, but we got a mission to do."

"Ah that right."

"Are you ready Yoruichi Nee-Chan?"

"Yeah I am; bye Suì-Fēng see you when we get back."

"Yeah what Yoruichi Nee-Chan said."

Instead of Yoruichi or Sakura waking Suì-Fēng up or putting her on Sakura's king size futon. They just left her on the floor.

Once they were at the Shihōin gate; Yoruichi saw Urahara there waving at her. She waved back at him with a grin on her face. This made him blush a bit, so he turn his face the other way trying to suppress his blushing. "Hey there." He said still not looking at Yoruichi for fear of blushing even harder. "Hey are you ok or something…eh Sakura Imouto- San you think there's a flu going around." Asked Yoruichi. She remembers Suì-Fēng pass out on the floor; maybe she had the flu too. "Doubt it Yoruichi Nee-Chan I don't remember anything about a flu going around." Said Sakura knowing very well what's going on.

"Let's get going." Said Urahara. Yoruichi and Sakura nodded.

"Oi, Urahara who's coming on the mission with us?" said the purple hair woman.

"Hmm…lets see I only asked five other people…ah I remember know it's um…um captain Muguruma Kensei, third seat Ichimaru Gin, lieutenant Aizen Sōsuke, lieutenant Kuchiki Sōjun, and lieutenant Kotsubaki Jin'emon."

"Urahara you made the list of people, and the only people you remember is Yoruichi and myself that's just sad." Said the little pinkett.

"Well it's not like I know them that well enough to remember them."

"How can you not remember one captain, three lieutenants, and a third seat?"

"I don't know maybe it's because I don't care for them."

Sakura shook her; it was quite a disappointment not to know people names that are above the fifth seat.

Upon coming to the west gate; Sakura could see three figures. One of them was the gatekeeper Ikkanzaka Jidanbō the other two were Kensei, and Jin'emon. Jidanbō waved his hand at the site of seeing Urahara, Yoruichi, and Sakura. Kensei and Jin'emon both looked at Urahara wondering why the little pinkette was riding on his shoulders. It also looks like Yoruichi wanted a ride. "Sakura-Hime why are you riding Urahara-San's shoulders?" asked Kensei. "Because I didn't feel like walking." Sakura answered back with a hint of sleepiness in her voice.

It didn't take too long for Aizen and gin to arrive to the west gate, but Sakura ways already sleeping on Urahara's shoulders. "Did we really take that long?" asked Aizen. "No not really; it seems that our little cherry blossom had a pretty busy day." Said Urahara. After all he should know his day was as busy as hers, but there's a difference between them. Why people asks; well it's obvious Sakura is still a child after all, and had her limits. "Urahara if you don't mind; could I carry Sakura-Hime?" Aizen asked nicely. "Hmm? Sure why not; my shoulder are getting a little stiff." said Urahara. He handed the sleeping pinkette to Aizen.

Three days later

It was the middle of the night, and Sakura just ran out of clean shinigami uniforms. Luckily for Sakura she remembers that Suì-Fēng gave her an academy uniform. While she was putting on the uniform; she could also hear the conversation about the remaining hollows. "How many hollows are left Urahara-San?" asked Kensei, he was never the type of guy to keep track of how many hollows he had purified over the years. All he knows is that in the future he'll purify more of them; well if he lived that long. "About thirty-one more hollows, but I'd be careful if I were you the last ones always seem to be the stronger ones." Said Urahara with a hint of laziness in his voice.

There is truth in what Urahara words. There always seem to be stronger hollows; after all the other weak hollows have been eliminated. For some reason it always ends up happening no matter what.

Sakura came out of the tent that was set up ten hours ago. Yoruichi was the first and maybe only one to squeal in delight with sparkle in her eyes. "Sakura Imouto-San! You look sooo cute!" yelled Yoruichi. The purple hair woman hugged the little pinkette tightly; to the point of almost cutting off circulation. "You look just like a doll Sakura-Hime." Said Gin. The others didn't argue with that statement; it was quite obvious that what Gin said was true. "Well can we go now we do have hollows to purify; we can't waste any more time." Said Sakura. She was ready to go home, so she could play tag with Byakuya and Suì-Fēng.

"WAIT!" said an overly happy the purple haired woman. "Let me take a picture!"

Before Yoruichi could even take the photo. A hollow's screeched could be heard from the distance. Everyone at the campsite ready themselves for the attack that would soon take place, something was off. Why did they give away their positions; when they could have ambush them. It seems that she wasn't the only one to notice this. Everybody around the campsite notices this; it didn't take a genius to figure this out.

At that moment it seems that everything was all in slow motion. A hallow came out of nowhere right behind Kensei; Ready to devour the captain of the ninth division. Luckily for him Urahara blocked the hollow with his' zanpakutō. Yoruichi, Sakura, and Urahara knew in intent that this whole entire thing was plan out, but the question is who planed it all.

After the first hollow attacked; one by one they all started to come out. Sakura grabbed her hiltless katana ready to strike down any hollow that threatens her or underestimated her. One think is for sure never and I mean never underestimate Shihōin Haruno Sakura. They teach that to many of the shinigamis at the academy.

Sakura was forced to come back to reality; when a claw came straight at her. She shed her hiltless katana, and in one swell swoop she cut off it's one of its four left arms. As she could hear is howl in pain from the cut; she took the chance and struck it down. Once that hollow was gone five more took its place. (A/N not very good with action scenes but I'll try my best). As Sakura tries to dodges attacks from oncoming enemies from all sizes. She was still able to keep track on everybody and see how they are doing, but Sakura found it odd that Aizen and Gin where holding back.

Sakura just shook her head thinking maybe they were planning on how to get rid of the hollows. Once again she had dodged another claw. She sliced though the hollows mask, and watched it disappear. Sakura had cut two more down; she wanted to be near Yoruichi or Urahara. Sakura felt that eerie feeling that she had days ago. She was so focus on the eerie feeling that she didn't notice claws coming right at her. Sadly Sakura didn't dodge the hollow in time and got three large claw marks on her right side. The little pinkette bit down on her lips to prevent her from yelling out in pain. She wouldn't give the damn hollow the satisfaction of hearing her scream in pain. "SAKURA!" yell out Yoruichi when she turned around to see her little sister get hit by the damn hollow that dare lay its nasty claws on her. The purple hair woman shunpo herself to her little sister. She grabs Sakura by the waist to support her weight.

Yoruichi cut through the hollow while she holds her dear little sister close by. She cut through three more hollows. "Sakura can you heal yourself?" said Yoruichi worriedly. The pinkette nodded her head as a yes.

Before Sakura could heal herself; a hollow came out of nowhere reaching for Yoruichi. Sakura did the most naturel thing that anyone would do for a love one. She pushed her big sister out of the way with all her strength. As the hollow grab Sakura's little petite body hard; squashing her tight enough for her to spit out blood. "SAKURA!" Yoruichi yelled out once again as she reach out her hand. "…Yoruichi…" whispered Sakura; also reaching out to her older sister.

They were so close yet so far way. Sakura looked at everyone maybe for the last time. After that she keeps fading in and out of consciousness, all she could tell was that some of them were shouting or running towards her. The problem was she could tell that the remainder hollows were getting in their way.

After all of their hard work they couldn't reach her the hollow had rip open a hole, and jump right in with the little pinkette. The worst part was they were only a few inches away of getting Sakura, but that basted of a hollow did it on purpose to get their hopes up. Just to take it way in the end. As Yoruichi lays on her knees ready to cry, but the rain beat her to it.

With Sakura

Sakura saw inside of the rip hole it was beautiful stars, planets with and without life, different galaxies. To see it all before she die was somewhat pleasant, but she rather see her sister's face last before she die. Now her face would be the second to the last no make that third; because see now sees a dirt road. Well at least Yoruichi's voice was the last thing she heard. "LOOK THAT THINGY IS ABOUT TO EAT A CHILD!" one thing came to Sakura's mind 'damnit!' after that she blackout.

Sorry if it took me while; I didn't mean to let you wait this long . Oh and I still need some help with Sakura's Zanpakutō, and don't be shy no idea is stupid unless you can't release your imagination, but if you are shy then pm me or something.

with lots of love PhantomCat13
