Yayy!! Chapter number 4! Now this means I'm really serious about this story o.o...well anyway. here's chapter 4. NO FLAMES!


The battle of Dark vs Light....

Who will win?....


"..Third seat Raiyorin! Draw your sword! Show me your bankai!" said Tousen as he unsheathed his sword.

" C-Captain Tousen! I-I can never draw my sword against my captain!" said Raiyorin, trying to get her captain to stop. " Forgive me, Raiyorin. But I have to find out for myself. No matter what I have to do!" said Tousen,moving towards Raiyorin, swinging his sword, trying to hit Raiyorin, but misses due to Raiyorin jumping back away from him. " Captain, please stop! We don't have to do this!" said Raiyorin as Tousen slashed at her, this time hitting her in the shoulder. Blood slowly trickling out of her shoulder, down her arm.

" Argh...C-Captain Tousen..." Raiyorin whispered, holding her shoulder. Tousen swings his sword at her once more, cutting her across her stomach. Raiyorin then screams in pain as she wraps her arms around her stomach.

" C-Captain...please...s-stop this...." Raiyorin begged. " Hm....Nothing yet....It seems I'll have to try something different." said Tousen, jumping into the air.

" Suzumushi Nishiki: Benihiko..." said Tousen as he released the second form of his zanpakutou, sending down multiple blades towards Raiyorin. ' I have to stop him. I have no choice but to fight back...Forgive me captain..' Raiyorin said to herself in her head as she unsheated her sword.

" Ten kara no teru yaki,.... Hikari no Kami!( lit. Shine from the heavens,....God of light)"yelled Raiyorin as she released her zanpakutou's shikai, sending a blast of light energy towards the blades that were about to hit her, destroying them. " Captain Tousen, forgive me. But if the only way I can stop this is if I put you out of commission.." said Raiyorin, staring at her captain with a determined face.

Meanwhile in the squad 9 barracks, we see Shuuhei walking around. " Hmm...I wonder what the captain needed Raiyorin for.." wondered Shuuhei before he heard an explosion from outside.

" What the hell? What was that?" said Shuuhei as he ran towards the door that led to the training field.

When he gets to the door, he opens it and steps outside. When he steps outside he sees Tousen and a badly wounded Raiyorin engaging in battle.

" C-Captain Tousen! Wh-What's going on?!" asked Shuuhei, horrified at the scene that was taking place before him. " Hisagi....Stand back. I don't want you to get hurt in this.." said Tousen as he used Benihiko once more, blades flying at Raiyorin. Raiyorin dodges some of the blades, but most of them cut her, most of them hitting her in her sides. After being hit, Raiyorin coughs up a little bit of blood before stumbling over, breathing heavily.

" Captain Tousen. Please stop! Raiyorin can't take anymore!" yelled Hisagi, begging his captain to stop his actions. " Once she unleashes her real strength. Once she shows me her bankai!" yelled Tousen as he uses Benihiko once more.

' I...I can't take this anymore...I have to do it! I have to!'said Raiyorin in her head as she unleashes a great amount of reiatsu. " Wh-What's going on? Raiyorin! Wh-What are you doing?" asked Shuuhei stunned a bit. Raiyorin slowly gets up, blood trickling down her body, breathing heavily, a mad expression on her face. " Forgive me, Captain..but I have no other choice....Lieutenant Hisagi....stand back...I can't promise you won't get hurt." said Raiyorin as she took her stance. ' Is this it?..Is she going to finally show us her bankai?' Thought Shuuhei.

" Hahh!! BANKAI!!" yelled Raiyorin as she released the final form of her zanpakutou. Wings of pure white light form on Raiyorin's back, her long hair's length a bit long, silver silk glovettes with gold chains decorated on them, the sleeves of her shuuhakshou ( sp? or correct term?) gone, her sword's blade a bit longer and straighter.

"....Bankai....Hikari no tenkuu no kami." whispered Raiyorin. 'Oh my god....I-It really was her....And her bankai..It makes her seem as if she was an...an angel...' Thought Shuuhei his head.

" So...This is your bankai...But...have you mastered it?" asked Tousen, irritating Raiyorin a bit. " Captain Tousen!!" yelled Raiyorin as she charged at her captain, her sword out in front of her, ready to hit Tousen.

Just as about her blade is to hit Tousen, Tousen dodges and stabs Raiyorin below her chest, causing her to cough up blood and fall to the ground, panting heavily. Tousen stares at the weakened third seat, sheathes his sword and walks away.

" C-Captain.....Wh-.." started Shuuhei. " Hisagi,...make sure Raiyorin gets medical care...I'll be returning to my quarters.." said Tousen walking into the barracks.

Shuuhei rushes to Raiyorin's side. " Raiyorin! Are you ok?!" asked Shuuhei worriedly, picking up the girl's head, placing her head on his lap. "I'm....ok....don't worry about...me..." said Raiyorin in between gasps before falling unconscious. " Damn...I've got to get her to squad 4 and quick." said Shuuhei as he picked up Raiyorin and quickly carried her to the 4th division.

The next morning in the squad 9 barracks, we see Rangiku walking towards Shuuhei's quarters. When she gets there she knocks on the door.

" Hey! Shuuhei! Mind if I hang out here for a while? Captain chewed me out for going to the bar after taking Hinamori to her cell instead of helping him with the paperwork yesterday!" said Rangiku. No answer.

"Shuuhei?...Shuuhei!" said Rangiku as she knocked harder. Still no answer. " Ugh..That's it..I'm coming in..." said Rangiku as she slid open the door to the room.

" Hey, Shuuhei! If you're not going to answer the freakin door.....at least lie and say you're sick or so-..."said Rangiku before she realized he wasn't in the room. " Shuuhei?...Where is he?" wondered Rangiku as she looked around the room. She looks around until she spots a note on the table. " Hey....it's a note...Wonder what it says." said Rangiku unfolding the note.

' To anyone who it concerns,..

If you need me, I'll be at the 4th division looking after third seat Raiyorin....

Signed,

Lieutenant Shuuhei Hisagi.'

" Raiyorin's in squad 4?...Oh no...I should go and see what's up..." said Rangiku, leaving the room for the 4th division.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

When Rangiku gets to the 4th division, she decides to go and ask Isane where Raiyorin or Shuuhei might be.

" Hey there, Isane!" said Rangiku, greeting her friend. " Ahh. Rangiku. Hello. Running away from Captain Hitsugaya again?" asked Isane. "Yeah kinda. But I'm also looking for Shuuhei. Have you seen him?" asked Rangiku. " Oh. Lieutenant Hisagi's in room 8 looking over Raiyorin. It seems that he's worried about her after he brought her in last night. She looked badly beat up." said Isane, frowning a bit. " Oh no...That sounds bad. Any idea how she might've gotten like that?" asked Rangiku. " No clue...Only lieutenant Hisagi and Captain Unohana know, but neither of them will tell me." said Isane. " Damn....If my captain knew...He'd be really upset...Is it alright if I go and see Raiyorin right now?" asked Rangiku. " Yes. But make sure you don't do anything to hurt her or anything." said Isane. " I won't." said Rangiku as she left to go to the room.

About a minute later, Rangiku reaches Raiyorin's room and knocks on the door.

" Raiyorin. Shuuhei. It's me. Rangiku. Can I come in?" asked Rangiku, knocking on the door. Shuuhei then opens the door and lets Rangiku in. " Oh..Rangiku. Please come in. But keep your voice down. Raiyorin's trying to rest..." said Shuuhei. " Ok. Is she doing alright?" Rangiku asked in a soft voice. " Yeah...She's been sleeping ever since she came out of surgery." said Shuuhei, staring down at Raiyorin's sleeping body. " Wow...She looks badly beaten...I wonder how this happened. " said Rangiku. " I know....Only if Captain Tousen didn't...." started Shuuhei before he silenced himself, not wanting to say more. " C-Captain Tousen did this?...B-but why?" asked Rangiku surprised.

Shuuhei sighs a bit. " Rangiku...if I tell you something...do you promise not to tell anyone?" asked Shuuhei. " I promise...What is it?" asked Rangiku. " Well you see...Captain Tousen did do this...because..he wanted to find out if Raiyorin was the other squad member in our squad other than him that had achieved bankai, because I mentioned to him that I saw another squad member of ours use bankai and I thought it might've been Raiyorin..... So captain decided to have a match with Raiyorin and Raiyorin got badly beaten up. And when she couldn't take it anymore, she released her bankai. That proved that she was the other squad member. Then...the captain somehow irritated her, so she started to charge at him. But when she was about to hit him, he moved and stabbed her below the chest. She fell unconscious and the captain left her and told me to get her medical attention..." said Shuuhei, staring down at the third seat's body.

" Oh my god...Th-that's horrible...If my captain found out he'd be-.." started Rangiku, before someone slid open the door. It was none other than Toshiro.

" I had a feeling you'd be hiding out here, Rangiku. Get back to squad 10 and do your paperwork. Now!" commanded Toshiro. " Captain...Now...Now's not really a good time..." said Rangiku. " What the hell do you mean by-..." started Toshiro before he noticed that Raiyorin was in a bed.

" Rai...Raiyorin?" said Toshiro, stunned a bit. " Wh-What happened to her?" asked Toshiro as he went over to her bed side, seeing the scars on her face and arms. "...Hisagi, what happened to her? Tell me." said Toshiro in a firm, yet worried voice. Shuuhei pauses for a bit before answering. " She....She got hurt." said Shuuhei, looking down a bit. " Hurt? How? Did anyone hurt her?" asked Toshiro, this time in a more determined voice. " Err..." was all Shuuhei could say. " Tell me! Tell me who hurt her!" commanded Toshiro. "...Er...I...I don't know...I found her hurt last night. I didn't see who did it...I'm sorry." lied Shuuhei looking down a bit.

Toshiro groans a bit and turns to face Raiyorin. Toshiro stares at his resting friend's body with a saddened expression. He places his hand on her cheek and slowly caresses it. He slowly leans down and puts his lips against her ear. " Raiyorin...I promise I'll make sure you get better...and I promise that I'll find who ever did this to you and kill them." whispered Toshiro to his friend.

" Ngh...Captain..Hitsugaya...." said Raiyorin as she slowly woke up. " Raiyorin! You're awake! Thank god.." said Toshiro as he quickly embraced his friend into a hug.

Raiyorin blinks with a confused expression on her face due to her friend's sudden actions.

" C-Captain...You're hurting me a bit." said Raiyorin, her eye twitching a bit due to Toshiro's hug hurting her sides a little. " Oh...Forgive me, Raiyorin." said Toshiro, releasing his friend from the hug, holding her hands.

"Wow..I never knew my captain was so affectionate.." Rangiku said to Shuuhei with a giggle. " Shut it, Rangiku...." hissed Toshiro. " Captain Hitsugaya,...what are you doing here?" asked Raiyorin, confused a bit. " Raiyorin..who hurt you last night?" asked Toshiro, looking into his friend's eyes, firmly grasping onto her hands. " Uh..." was all that came out of Raiyorin's mouth as she looked over at Shuuhei, who shook his head, signaling for her not to say it was Tousen.

" I...uh...I don't know..It was dark..so I couldn't see who did it..." said Raiyorin, turning back to face Toshiro. "A-Are you sure, Raiyorin?" asked Toshiro, his face showing a very worried expression. " I'm sure. It's nothing to worry about, Captain. I'm sure it's not likely to happen again. You don't have to worry about me, ok?" said Raiyorin, giving him a soft smile.

" Er...Ok....But...it doesn't mean I can't still come by often and check up on you, my Little Raiyorin..." Toshiro said with a smirk. " I guess that'd be ok.." replied Raiyorin with a soft smile.

" Aww...isn't that cute? Those two are flirting....Don't they make a cute couple, eh, Shuuhei?" Rangiku teased, giggling, causing the two shinigami to blush furiously.

" Rangiku! Time to go back to our squad and finish that paperwork! And you're not going to the bar for the rest of the week!" said Toshiro, getting up and dragging his lieutenant by the arm. " Oh come on, Captain! You know I was just teasing!" cried Rangiku as her captain dragged her back to their squad.

" Those two seem to get along greatly on a captain-lieutenant relationship." said Raiyorin as she watched the two leave. " Yeah...Are you feeling any better, Raiyorin?" asked Shuuhei. " Yeah. A little bit....Just...wondering why Captain Tousen had to be so rough if he wanted to find out something." said Raiyorin, looking out of the window. "...I don't know...The captain likes to do stuff in his own manner..." said Shuuhei looking down. " Well...with everything thats going on right now, everyone's likely to go mad and get confused." said Raiyorin. " Yeah...I better get back to squad 9 and make sure everythings going ok." said Shuuhei, leaving the room. " Ok then. Bye, Lieutenant Hisagi." said Raiyorin.


And still the darkness prevails...

When will the light win?...
