I do not own Bleach or the characters (Nanao Ise, Lisa Yadomaru, Tatsuki Arisawa) but do own the changes to the storyline and the zanpakuto of Nanao and Tatsuki and bankai of Lisa. I also own the zanpakuto spirit and inner hollow of all three.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED TO ME, ONE MINUTE I AM MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS AND THE NEXT I FEEL LIKE SOMEONE JUST TRIED TO TAKE A PIECE OF MY ARM OFF?" the girl screamed after managing to stand back up after being attacked. She desperately looks around the empty street to try and find the person or thing that just snuck up on her. After a few minutes of frantically looking around, she starts to notice the pain in her arm and the blood that is pooling on the concrete. "DAMN IT! IT LOOKS LIKE WHATEVER ATTACKED ME DEFINITELY DID SOME DAMAGE TO MY ARM! WHOEVER YOU ARE HAD BETTER NOT LET ME FIND YOU BECAUSE IF I DO I WILL KICK THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOUR ASS!" the girl screamed loud enough to cause a nearby car alarm to start going off before heading toward the local clinic of her friend Ichigo Kurosaki. It took her nearly twenty minutes to finally make it to the clinic and by that time she was nearly delirious from the combination of losing the adrenaline that she gained from the attack and from the loss of blood. She stumbled through the door just as someone happened to open the door and heard the sound of the Kurosaki's gasp out of shock before blacking out.

"Tatsuki, Tatsuki . . . Dad, she still hasn't woken up yet? Is there anything else that we can do?" Yuzu questioned after trying to wake up the unconscious girl again.

"No, Yuzu! We have done everything that we can do for her; she lost a lot of blood from that injury and needs to rest for just a little while longer!" Isshin answered before guiding his daughter away from the bed.

"I guess that I am going to go to bed then, Dad! Good night!" the young girl exclaimed with a yawn before hurrying up the stairs.

"Good night, sweetheart! What about you, Ichigo? Are you going to stay hidden and watch over your friend all night or get to bed?" Isshin questioned the hidden Ichigo after talking to his daughter.

"H . . . How did you know that I was hiding there?" Ichigo stammered out in surprise before coming out of his supposed hiding place.

"I noticed that you were hanging around after Yuzu and I got through fixing up Tatsuki's arm, then you seemingly disappeared. It is kind of hard to hide that bright orange hair of yours, there Ichigo!" Isshin explained.

"Is she going to be okay?" Ichigo asked before glancing at the quiet Tatsuki still lying on the hospital bed.

"She will be fine after resting most of the day tomorrow and the rest of tonight, by tomorrow night she should be up and better than ever!"

Lisa just made it to the scene of the attack after Tatsuki stumbled away toward the Kurosaki clinic and noticed the scent of the recently departed hollow. "It appears that someone was definitely injured during the hollow appearance and must have had a lot of spiritual pressure to require that hollow to attack without any spirits around. I think that I need to follow this blood trail because I have this feeling that the hollow will not be gone for long!" Lisa declared to herself before walking along the trail.

She followed the blood trail to the location of the Kurosaki Clinic and decided that it would be better to head back to the Visored Compound to drop off her body instead of leaving it out in the middle of the Clinic's yard. She checked on the still unconscious girl through the window of the hospital wing of the house before running back to the compound.

Tatsuki continued to rest peacefully in the hospital bed until she got the feeling that she was being watched and suddenly heard a menacing growl come out from underneath the bed. The next thing that she knew she was just managing to dodge a black arm coming through the bed where she was just lying out minutes ago and before she could understand the situation that she was in a giant white mask appeared out of the hole in the bed and started trying to bite the injured girl in half. Tatsuki managed to dodge each of the bites until her fatigued body just collapsed from the strain of dodging and not being fully healed, she then felt something bite into her midsection and then everything went black. . .

When Lisa managed to make it back to the Kurosaki Clinic, she automatically felt the pressure of a changed hollow that seemed to be attacking either the family that lived in the house adjacent to the clinic or the poor girl that was attacked earlier. She shunpo-ed to the window that she watched over the girl before leaving to go back to the visored compound and barely managed to dodge the hollow dramatic exit through the wall after being punched by a strange soul reaper that surprisingly looked a lot like the girl that was lying peacefully in the hospital bed a few hours ago. "What in the hell happened here?" Lisa exclaimed after returning to the area that was destroyed just a few minutes ago.

"I will explain everything after I get rid of this damn . . . whatever it is!" Tatsuki exclaimed before jumping after the hollow that was just then managing to stumble its way back up. Tatsuki grabbed her small rapier-like zanpakuto and started trying to stab at the white mask covering the monsters head; she managed to dodge the wild punches thrown at her and Tatsuki decided that she needed to change up her offense to some of the lessons that she learned during her karate class. She suddenly dropped to the floor and took a basic judo stance waiting for the hollow to come toward her. The hollow then ran toward the patiently waiting girl howling at the top of its lungs and lunged through the air . . . only to meet the waiting fist of Tatsuki which she pushed through the mask and watched as the hollow disappeared into a bluish light.

"So what happened to cause you to become a soul reaper . . ." Lisa started before noticing the weird look that she was getting from the young soul reaper.

"What the hell is a soul reaper and what the hell was that monster that I just kicked the ass of?" Tatsuki asked before noticing that the girl she was talking to had the same type of clothes on and a sword hanging on her back," Who are you?"

"I am Lisa Yadomaru and you just kicked the ass of a hollow. You and I are both soul reapers; now will you tell me what happened after I left you because I have never heard of someone going from a normal human to a soul reaper in a matter of hours!" Lisa exclaimed to the shell shocked Tatsuki.

"Well . . ." Tatsuki began.

Tatsuki managed to dodge the first attack of the hollow, but she could not defend against the onslaught of biting lunge until she slipped and was bitten through the midsection. She finally succumbed to the huge amount of pain that she felt from the attack and fainted. When she woke up she was shocked to find that she was floating over her fallen body and then she heard the voice of the hollow taunting her.

"Hahahahahahahahaha! It looks like my meal has finally decided to wake up, good because I always enjoy my meal after watching the despair come over my victims faces!" the hollow croaked out while licking where its lips should be.

"What the hell is going on? Why am I floating over my body?" Tatsuki finally managed to yell out after getting over the initial shock of her situation.

"YOU ARE ABOUT TO BECOME THE SAME AS THE MONSTER IN FRONT OF YOU, IF YOU DON'T START FIGHTING THROUGH WHATEVER SHOCK YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN!" a voice screamed in her head.

"Wh . . . Who said that?" she exclaimed out loud.

"Who I am is the least of your problems at the minute! Just focus and try to release your inner power! Hurry!" the voice answered back.

"How do I do that? Focus . . . huh!" Tatsuki thought before finally calming down and started to mediate even though she didn't know if it was such a good idea considering her current situation, but decided that she was either going to unlock whatever inner power that she supposedly has or die and become a monster. Suddenly the world started to become unfocused and Tatsuki found herself surrounded by only a black void, then the next thing that she knows the world comes back into focus and she finds herself in a wheat field by a giant lake. "Where am I? Is this where my hidden power is located?" Tatsuki wondered out loud.

"Good! You have found your inner world, now it is time to discover if you are ready for the power that you possess or if it will be wasted when you become a hollow!" a woman exclaimed after appearing over the top of the nearby lake and started to walk closer to where Tatsuki was standing. The woman was dressed like a geisha, but she carried a large fan in one hand and a rapier-like katana with a brass knuckle shaped hilt in the other. "Prepare to defend yourself because if you cannot unlock your inner potential and defeat me, then unfortunately you will never make it out of this world because I will have to kill you on the spot!" the geisha declared before charging at the frightened girl.

Tatsuki didn't know what was going on, but still managed to defend against the thrusts of the woman that she found was attacking her. She decided that no matter what she was not going to let this weird woman or that monster that the woman called a hollow. Tatsuki created some distance between herself and the woman attacking her by using a basic judo throw after the woman failed to stab her. She then went into another meditative/ judo stance to try and find whatever power that everyone thinks that is inside of her. It was amazing but the entire time that she was in this stance she was somehow able to dodge every attack thrown at her with just pure instinct alone, then Tatsuki found a strange energy lurking deep into her inner self and started to try to access this power.

"Yes, that's right Tatsuki! That is the power that you need to use to survive what is happening to you, but unfortunately when you unlock this power the new corrupted power will also unlock inside of you! We will cross that bridge when we come to it though!" the geisha thought to herself as she rested waiting to see if the young girl will be able to unlock the power that she desparately needs.

While the geisha was considering the current situation, Tatsuki suddenly become enclosed in a bright white light and she changed into shinigami clothes.

"After that you know what happened because I used this sword's strange hilt to knock the hollow through the wall!" Tatsuki exclaimed after finishing her story.

"Well it appears that you need to come with me because I have a lot to explain to you and if you were able to destroy that type of hollow, then you will be a valuable access to our cause! Grab your body, I will get Hachigen to heal you and your body before we put you back into it!" Lisa declared before walking toward the visored compound.

Well did you guess who the girl was or did I catch you off guard. The next chapter will start with Tatsuki, but I think that it will end with a glimpse of a new threat other than the corrupted hollows that Aizen created. Can anybody guess who the geisha was that talked to Tatsuki during her time in the strange world. Remember to review and let me know what you think or any criticism at all.
