Yuki grinned at the men standing around her, talking about life in 10th squad. They spoke of Matsumoto-fukutaicho, Hitsugaya-taicho, the relationships between them and every other squad.

"What of 5th squad?" Yuki asked, still remembering the look on Hinamori-taicho's face.

"5th squad is in good relationship with us. Hinamori-taicho likes Hitsugaya-taicho. It's probably because they grew up together," one of the men said. Yuki nodded, smiling in thanks before she took off into the direction of Matsumoto-fukutaicho who had been walking past the group.

"Matsumoto-fukutaicho!" Yuki called.

Matsumoto slowed and turned to Yuki, smiling widely when she spotted her. She swung her arms out, crushing Yuki to her breasts only resulting in Yuki flailing wildly before Matsumoto finally let her go. Matsumoto grinned down at the white-haired girl.

"How's your first day as 6th seat of 10th squad?" She asked the young girl as they walked down one of 10th squad's corridors.

Yuki grinned widely at her fukutaicho. "I like it. The guys have been helping me get settled into the new position, what with all the added responsibilities."

"Well you know, if you need anything, anything at all, you just ask me, okay? But now I have to go. Taicho has me running errands," Matsumoto said.

Yuki nodded at her fukutaicho, waving her goodbye and watching her leave. Yuki then turned to the library, hoping to find answers on something one of the people that had watched her fight with her taicho had said. They had spoken of a zanpaktou with an ability similar to hers that had had a wielder many years before. He and his sword had disappeared and no one had any idea what had happened to him. And it was not like she could just ask Kasumi, for Kasumi herself said she couldn't remember anything before Yuki.

Yuki hummed under her breath a song Rukia had given her sometime ago. Yuki was absolutely attached to the song, singing it whenever she could. Some people say it might be a bit moody but she could see the underlying strength in the songwriters words.

I know I can stop the pain.
If I will it all away.
If I will it all away.

Yuki frowned when she felt a tendril of fear creep down her spine. Her sixth sense, the one that had gotten her out of many sticky situations, was acting up. She sped up her steps, heading straight for the door. There was a glimmer and that was all she had to warn her that someone had done something. She jumped out of the way, and watched in shock as the place where she had been standing turned violet pink.

Yuki whirled around in horror, knowing that ability, and there in front of her, sword drawn, stood Hinamori-taicho.

Hinamori took another swing, slashing her sword and bringing forth her power which crackled as it flew out. Yuki dodged, now very glad for the training she had taken with Ichigo. She weaved through the bookcases, both hearing and feeling the raw demonic power searing away at the ancient tombs. She dodged a falling book and felt arms wrap around her. Yuki started thrashing, trying desperately to get away before she felt something prick her skin. Her limbs started to feel numb and heavy, so very heavy. She sagged in her captor's arms and watched Hinamori walk forward with a grin on her face.

Hinamori sneered at Yuki and slapped her. Yuki's body jerked with the force as tears of frustration started leaking.

"I already lost one important person in my life. I won't let you take the other. Let her go." Hinamori said to both Yuki and her captor. Yuki felt the arms leave her and she slumped down by the bookcase. Hinamori bent down and lifted Yuki's head.

"You come near my shiro-chan and I will kill you," she snarled.

Yuki frowned at Hinamori, "He is not yours. He never will be."

Hinamori's eyes took on a crazed look as she screamed, "He is all mine! I'll prove it to you." Hinamori stood in a huff, glaring down at the slumped girl. Yuki struggled to stay awake; she was so focused on her task that she almost didn't hear Hinamori's next words.

"I don't care if he wants you. He will be mine."
