Recap: Ichigo Kurosaki had done it. He had become a shinigami.

Urahara broke up the silence by congratulating Ichigo and telling him that he had became a shinigami just in time. I just relaxed and gave a slight smile as I put away my sword. Ichigo walked up to Urahara and hit him in the face with his sword hilt. Urahara cried out and covered his face as Ichigo made his speech of how he was going to kill Urahara for putting him through that. I couldn't hold it in anymore, it was the funniest thing I had seen in years. So naturally I laughed so hard that I was rolling on the ground. Normally I would just smile a little and giggle but it was so funny especially after the serious event of Ichigo almost becoming a hollow that just happened seconds before.

It was then that Ichigo noticed me and proceeded to stared at me for a minute or two. I can't blame him I really did look different from when he normal saw me. I didn't need my glasses so my yellow eyes kinda popped out and my dark green Shihakushō must seem weird since he has only seen the standard black shinigami uniforms. I had some tattered jade green material around my neck like a only thing that was the same was my long black straight hair up its usual pony tail.

He suddenly jumped up like he was having a epiphany and started to point at me " Hey I know you!You are in my class...You are ...that girl that is really quiet."

At this point I picked myself off of the ground and started to dust off my clothing and a small smile still graced my face. I looked over Ichigo who was still pointing at me.

" You don't even remember my name do you?" I said with some amusement.

He was still gawking as I sighed " At least I have a excuse I mean how many names can I remember over 50 years."

Urahara decided to step in and introduce me " Kurosaki- san this is Sakishima she is somewhat of a shinigami." Ichigo quickly got over the shock of telling him that I was over 50 years old and looked curious.

He asked " Somewhat of a shinigami?...How do you become somewhat a shinigami?"

I looked at him with a bored expression " Well it would too much time and effort to fully explain that question but the short answer is yes technically I refuse to be apart of the Soul Society but I have my sword."

He gave that 'ohhh' look and moved on to his next question. " Why are you here? Are you here to help get Rukia back?"

I looked up at his face and saw excitement that someone else was going to go with him to save his friend.

I felt kinda selfish for my real reason for going with him and answered back " Honestly no, I need to get to Soul society for my own reason," his face fell "but I will hold to my bargain to help you and get Rukia back." He looked a little grateful that I was still going to help him.

Urahara decided that it was a good time to intervene and told Ichigo it was time for the 3rd stage. I could tell Ichigo was still pissed with Urahara.

'They are going to kill each other, oh what I wouldn't give to see that' I thought wishfully. 'But I have things to do, training to get done.' I started to walk away when Urahara called me over.

I gave him a questioning look and he explained that I would be helping Ichigo with the next stage. 'Man he roped me into helping him again. But I really do some sort of practice since I am kinda rusty with my sword. Hopefully I will kill two bird with one stone.'

I walked over to him and he put what looked like a spare hat on top of my head. He started to explain what we were to do.

"This stage has no time limit. Simply knock the hat of Sakishima's head and you are done."

I looked at Urahara with a questioning look, I have witnessed Ichigo's power but I was more experienced than him and he had a broken sword. Ichigo just studied me and swung his half sword at me I didn't even flinch at the action.

He looked smug as he nicked the hat 'Great I get to deal with all the pent up anger that he has at Urahara.'

Urahara apparently wasn't done speaking yet " Thats impressive but it will take more than that to beat her." He began to walk away but stopped a few steps " Sakishima don't kill him." I gave a dark smile because that gave me the okay to go all out on him.

' I haven't had a good fight in ages I hope he can keep up.'

Ichigo obviously didn't notice the smile because he turn to where Urahara was and yelled " I can't fight a girl. Especially her,she seems like the book type. It will take a minute to beat her."

As he complained I took out my sword and released my spiritual energy. The idiot still wasn't paying attention to me. I charged and Ichigo barely dodged.

" Come now Ichigo don't ruin my fun." I smirked at him.

He must of now noticed my sudden change in personality because he became slightly more pale. He studied me once again as I got ready to attack.

Once I lunged Ichigo became more serious and dodged. I kept on attacking and forced him to retreat from me.

" HEY COME BACK HERE!" I yelled as I swung my sword at him when he got somewhat close.

He continued to run away from me a the while still complaining to Urahara. That was until he had a sudden thought and stopped.

I could tell what he was thinking 'He thinks that my sword isn't real.'

I swung my sword and sliced of the remaining mask on his head. " You are getting careless." I told him with a slight frown on my face.

" You think just because she not a full issued shinigami that she can't seriously hurt you." Urahara's voice said from behind me.

" Sakishima release your zanpaktou."

I turned my head to look at him to see if he was serious. He looked dead serious so I did what I was ordered.

" Slither, Nāgaraja!"

My normal sword with its green-brown hilt and small leather like keychain at the ends started to change. A emerald green snake slithered up and around the hilt as the blade got longer. Finally the leather turned into 5 chains and got bigger till they were on the ground wiggling like snakes. I let them go around my arm and shoulder so that when I fought with my Zanpaktou they would get in the way and drag when I fought.

Ichigo looked fearful as my sword changed and muttered " Zanpaktou's name?"

This time I answered " Every Zanpaktou has a name, and this is his name."

I decided to show him the power of a released Zanpaktou. " Let fight, Nāgaraja!"

I once again swung my sword with my increased power. Ichigo was knocked back still shocked at what he had learned.

Urahara gave a look that said 'destroy the rest of his sword' so I nodded and continued to attack while he spoke. He told Ichigo that his sword was nothing more than fluff and that there was no way he could beat me with that sword. I kept slicing his sword as if it was made of butter. I was enjoying my self since it has been a long time since I have had the need to call out Nāgaraja. But it was bittersweet, sure I got to fight but it was against a boy with a useless weapon and no way to fight back.

I frowned when I got to the hilt. I have had enough of going easy on him and not attacking him directly. Sure it was lesson he need to learn but I was not going to baby him any longer.

I looked at him with a serious face " I understand what Urahara is teaching you and I commend you for getting this far. But now,I am done babying you it is a dog-eat-dog world in the soul realm. It is as simple as this, start to learn and fight or die!"

Ichigo took off running as soon as he saw the chains wrapped around my arm and shoulder start to move and glow. He dodged just in time as one of the chains went to grab him, and instead crashed into some rocks mere inches away from him. As he ran from me, I walked toward where he was as my chains did their job of attacking him. He had successfully blocked one just to have another grab his ankle and trip him. He managed to stand up just to have my chains totally wrapped around his body. He was really panicking now that I was almost to were he was. My chains were squeezed tighter each time he moved and struggled.

When I finally got to him I looked at him with merciless eyes and raised my sword to ready to attack again. He all a sudden stopped struggling and I knew what had happened since I had a similar experience when I had got my Zanpakuto's name. All a sudden his retisu flared up and I knew my assumption was correct. I jumped back and held on to the hat as the dirt around me was moved by a strong gust of wind.

I felt him cut my chains and heard them fall of his body. He looked ready to fight when the dust cleared. My chains were already regenerating to the length the were at before. They wrapped around my body once again sensing that it would be a sword battle from here on out. I looked at Ichigo and started to smile again.

'Finally the fight I was looking.'

Ichigo looked at me and said " Sorry Saki but it would seem that I can't hold back. Be sure to dodge this."

I was curious as to what he was saying until I felt the rise of his retisu again. I quickly went to shunpo out of the way but I was too late. I held my sword up to block what I could and stood my ground. I closed my eyes as the bright flash was going to hit me.

After a minute of not feeling any pain I looked to see what happened. I found Urahara in front of me with his sword and a red barrier in front of him.

He looked at me and said " Good thing I blocked that,you could have lost a arm."

I gave a nod of thanks and went back into a normal position to see what Ichigo was doing. To my shock he was asleep with his new Zanpatou in front of him.

'Must have used up all his energy in that last attack.' I noticed that the hat I was wearing had blown away and was missing a big piece in the front.

" I didn't except that much power in one swing." I told Urahara.

He looked at me and said "He truly is a frightening child."

I had to agree, who knows how much power this kid really has. Urahara went and picked up the spare hat that was by the big ditch Ichigo had caused.

"Lesson three cleared."

He came up to me and said "Now its your turn for lessons."

I looked up at him and got into my fighting stance.

' Ichigo turned out to be a disappointing fight I hope Urahara is better.' I smiled ready for a great fight "Ready when your are." Urahara gave a nod and attacked.

After 7 hours of fighting I was tired and sore. Urahara did a number on me but I did regain my skills and even made them stronger.

I was on my knees breathing hard "Thats enough, you improved and I think you are ready for the Gotei now."

I looked up at Urahara, who had a few scratches on him nothing serious. 'Man, I am tired and he doesn't even look that tired or hurt for that matter. No wonder why he was a captain.'

I just nodded, and got to my feet I sealed Nāgaraja and started to head to the ladder.

"Sakashima rest tomorrow and then come into the shop the next night, all the preparations will be ready by then." I nodded once again and started up the ladder.

I don't exactly remember how I got home and into my bed but I did somehow. I woke up and it was around 5 o'clock in the afternoon. I was in my 'body' so my wounds on my spirit self were probably healing. I got up and took a shower then went to eat something.

'One more day and I will be in the Soul Society...wow...' I just didn't know what to think.

Sure I was excited to see HIM but I also would be his enemy.

I snorted 'Wouldn't be the first time that we were on opposite sides of something.'

Still after all that has happened I still loved him and missed him everyday. I was still exhausted from yesterday and decided that once we went to the Soul Society I probably wouldn't get much sleep. So I went back to bed.

I was resting against a tree in the forest outside of the Rukongai where Kenpachi, Yachiru and I were staying at that week. We tended to move around quiet a lot to find more battles to part take in.

I was just relaxing since I myself was just in a fight not to long ago. I opened my eyes to look at the scenery before me and noticed that my clothes were far from alright. Not only were the filthy with dirt and blood but they were also torn a little. I only had one set of clothes and I was in them.

I started to groan and try to figure out how I was going to clean them this time. I was pulled out of my thoughts by heavy footsteps. I grabbed my sword but relaxed when I recognized it as Kenpachi.

He looked at me and chuckled "You must have had some fun fight."

I smirked at him " Ha that guy's face will never look the same."

He smirked back " That a girl."

He came and sat next to me on the grass. His smirk turned into a frown.

I looked up at him questionably " Whats wrong? Fight someone weak?"

He looked at me and signed " They are all weak, all 7 of them."

I frowned in response he was never satisfied with his fights anymore.

I looked around " Where's Yachiru? You know she will get lost if you leave her by herself for too long."

He pointed to the left and I saw the little girl in a field of flower picking the pink ones and making a crown of flowers.

I smiled " She's so cute, can't find a thing but cute."

He smirked again and looked at me again before getting up again. " Watch her I'll be back."

I just nodded and relaxed again. It wasn't unusual for him to be gone for hours on end and comeback. I trusted him not to leave us behind and knew that he trusted us to be here when he got back. After a hour or so Yachiru came over and showed me the flower rings and that she made. She told me that she had made one for me as well.

After a while she got bored with doing that. So I took out a book and gave her a brush and some colored ink for her to draw with while went and got some fire wood to set us up for when it got dark.

By the time Kenpachi came back it was well past sunset and I had already made some food over the fire. He grunted in thanks as he started to eat. After we had all ate I put a mat down for Yachiru and got her ready for bed. As usual she would give Kenpachi a hug, which he didn't return and gave me a hug. I put her to bed and she was asleep in no time.

I came and sat by the fire again across from Kenpachi. He kept looking at me and it was starting to annoy me.

I blushed when just started to stare."What!?"

He just shook his head and went back to looking at the fire. When I had enough of the stares, I got up to go to bed.

I looked at my ruined clothing and shrugged' I will take care of my clothing once I wake up.'

I walked past him and he caught my wrist. "Wait."

I looked at him curiously he took his bag out and got out a bundle. He gave the bundle and let go of my hand. I opened up the bundle to find now clothing. I gave him a surprised look to find he was looking back at the fire.

I blushed "Thank you. I was wondering how I was going to fix this mess."

He looked back at me 'Please don't let him see my checks all pink' I pleaded to any god.

"I got them off a guy's cart I fought. They may be a bit to big for you but just deal with it."

He told me gruffly. I just nodded and gave him a huge turned away from me again and I was frozen in my spot. 'Just do it' I was yelling at myself.

I quickly gave him a hug as best as I could then quickly went to my bed.

'He got me something and noticed when something was wrong.' I was so giddy that I almost couldn't sleep but I did eventually fade into sleep.

I awoke once again a little before noon and smiled. 'Its been many years since that moment but what I wouldn't give to go back to it.'

I sighed and decided to start making final preparations for my quest. I popped out of my giagi and gave it final instructions. When I was alone again I touched my scarf. It was the only thing left of that Shihakushō and it was my most precious item. It was the only thing he has given me.

I shook my head ' I will see him again and make sure that he choose me this time.'
