DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BLEACH
It just seemed like another usual meeting that the captains held, Shinji smothered another yawn secretly with a hand as the Soutaichou droned on and on about another one of the seemingly endless issues that Soul Society faced.
Shinji gazed blankly at the wall behind the captain of the 1st squad, before his eyes travelled around to the other captains in sheer boredom. The white haired captain, Ukitake Juushiro, was the only one away, yet again, due to his illness. His thoughts drifted to the woman that was still in the 4th Squad the last time he had went to see the progress of her recovery.
The door slid open with a soft click, two people stepped in, the kind, gentle captain of the 4th squad and the blonde captain of the 5th squad.
"I have personally treated her wounds." Unohana stated.
"She will make a full recovery as long as she rests, Hirako Taichou." Unohana taichou smiled softly.
"I understand." Shinji nodded and stepped towards the sleeping woman.
Her chest rose and fell slightly at each breath she took, her pale pink lips were parted slightly as she continued to sleep on. Her ebony black hair was splayed around her head, contrasting again her still pale skin and delicate features.
'She's quite pretty now that I look closer…' Shinji stared unceremoniously of her long, dense eyelashes before he was jerked back into reality by a speaking voice.
"The high fever she had and her sustained wounds have weakened her, which is why she has been sleeping quite deeply." Unohana smiled and then turned around to the door.
"I shall take my leave, Hirako taichou."
'She's already been out for five days…' Shinji glanced at her zanpakutou that was leaning against the wall behind the 1st Division's captain, a seal was wrapped tightly around the guard and sheath of the katana.
"Now, I shall move on to another problem that has risen in Seireitei." Yamamoto Soutaichou declared before opening his eyes and continuing on, Shinji's attention focused back on him.
"As you should all now, there was the rumour of an unknown person outside of Seireitei was aiding us in several battles against hollows." He paused as the information sunk in.
"The person has been captured a few days ago after a battle with numerous hollows that emerged in Rukongai. She is currently still in the 4th squad…" Yamamoti Soutaichou abruptly paused in his speech, a frown found its way onto his aged face.
The ground had suddenly begun to shake ever so slightly, as the faint sound of frantic shouting and yelling reached the room. The rumbling grew louder as it approached, the yelling magnified several times as the thudding of footfalls made the ground tremble.
"What's with all the ruckus outside?" Shinji muttered, his eyebrows raising a fraction, before his mouth fell open at the voice that echoed throughout the building.
"STOP FOLLOWING ME!!!!!"
The captains looked at each other as the yells of men turned into cries of 'get her!' and 'she's coming this way!'
"Well it seems like the person I was just talking about has decided to come to us instead. Let us go greet her." The captain of the 1st squad declared before turning, grasping the katana and walking out of the opened great doors behind him.
~B~L~E~A~C~H~
Rayne weaved through the paths with increasing speed as the stampede of death gods behind her gained on her. Her left leg had begun to throb as she continued to put more and more pressure onto it.
"Rayne…" The woman's head flew to one side, Arashiei's voice was definitely stronger and louder than before.
'I can't believe all this aimless running has gotten me closer to him.' Rayne shook her head and glanced back at the people chasing her.
'I guess I need to get rid of these people first before I can search for him…' Strands of her midnight black hair blew into her eyes as she skidded to a halt, spun around and began charging towards the people that now seemed like a moving wall of black, screaming figures.
"Huh?! She's coming this way!! Get-" The end of his sentence was never heard as a foot planted itself into the middle of his face, sending him crashing backwards into others like a ball knocking down pins in tenpin bowling, execpt that the ball and pins were shinigamis.
"You guys asked for this!" Rayne leapt backwards, her yukata fluttering wildly as she ducked a few slashes aimed at her head and slammed a hand into their stomachs, successfully knocking them out with ease. Her movements seemed like the flow of water, unbroken and continuous like a dance as she carried on knocking them out one after the other.
After what seemed like an eternity to her, the last one finally fell with a thump on the other bodies that were piled around her. Rayne panted as she lifted a hand and wiped her brows, her arms and legs shook from the sudden amount of exertion they had just been put through.
'That took more energy than I thought it would…' Rayne closed her eyes as giddiness overtook her body for a second.
'Oh yeah…' She stared down at her attire with a frown. 'I can't keep running around with a sleeping yukata.'
"Excuse me, but I'll be borrowing your clothes." Rayne received a pained groan as a reply before she tugged the clothes off the unlucky person that happened to be lying at her feet.
She tugged the hakama on and tied the obi around her waist and then pulled her arms through the sleeves of the haori before tucking them into the hakama.
'I wouldn't be noticed that quickly if I wear the same clothes as them.' Rayne pulled her hair out from underneath the collar before looking down at herself appraisingly.
The clothes were hanging rather loosely around her slender frame, deft fingers made an attempted to shove the clothes more snugly around her. Rayne looked up as she felt a tingle run through her followed by a faint whispering voice that echoed softly in her mind.
"Rayne…their coming…" His voice died out into silence.
'What…? Who's coming…? Never mind…" Eyes the colour of rain clouds closed as Rayne tried to pinpoint the location of her missing partner.
'He's close…but I can't find his exact location…' Rayne reopened her eyes and scratched the back of her head while gazing around.
'I guess I'll just walk around this area…' But on the first step she took, her knee collapsed underneath her, sending her sprawling to the ground.
At the last second, her hand shot out and pushed against the floor, her nose was a mere centimetre away from the hard tiles. A wince found its way onto her face as a burning fire seared through her flesh and up her leg in waves.
'I think I broke my leg again.' Her hands gripped her foot, biting her bottom lip to suppress the cry of pain the threatened to pour from her lips.
"O…Ouch…" Rayne stayed there until the pain died down and faded into a dull throb that matched the pulse of her heart. She released a held breath before taking another and pushing herself up into a sitting position.
A shadow suddenly fell over her, as did a ground shaking amount spiritual pressure that slammed into her, locking her muscles in place. Rayne managed to move her head and look up, eyes wide with disbelief as she stared up at the old man standing before her. She could tell by just looking at him and from the feeling of his reiatsu that he was very powerful and not someone that who should be messed with.
'Don't tell me…' A muscle in her cheek jumped as she saw the white haori the old man wore, her eyes twitched as they looked past the captain and saw the rest of the captain lined up behind him.
'Oh? She's a bit different to what I imagined after hearing Kisuke's report.' Yoruichi grinned at the sight of the girl sitting in front of Soutaichou seemed unaffected by his reiatsu, only slightly wary.
'Things will definitely get interesting with her around.'
'Wow…' Shinji's eyebrows rose in surprise at the sight that greeted him as he emerged from the barracks of the 1st squad. 'The 4th Division is going to be loaded today…'
Rayne looked up, their eyes met for a second, recognition flashed across onyx grey gems at the sight of him.
'That person…' Rayne fought down a blush that threatened to rise on her cheeks.
'He's the one I…' She trailed off and shoved the slightly wrong image that rose in her mind as she recalled what happened. 'First I crashed into him, sending him into the ground with me on top and then I walked away mumbling that he was only a figment of my imagination...'
'I have to apologise…but first...' Rayne smiled nervously, not quite sure what to do with the 1st Division's captain looming over her.
"Hey Shinji." Shinji turned his head to the whisper and the insistent prodding on his shoulder, his eyes travelled to Kyouraku who was smiling rather strangely.
"Yeah?"
"Is that girl the one?" His eyebrows rose further at the captain of the 8th Division.
"Yeah…" Shinji answered slowly, uncertainly.
"She's fairly cute." Beside them, Love and Kensei rolled their eyes at their conversation and continued to watch the scene unfold in front of them.
'I guess my disguise was blown within record time.' Rayne sighed mentally before gazing up tiredly at Yamamoto Soutaichou.
"Is there any chance you could just return my katana and let me go?" Rayne asked, her hopeful eyes glued on her zanpakutou which was held at the captain's side.
"You would be asking too much from me, child." Yamamoto Soutaichou replied as he watched the woman with growing interest.
Rayne was not a bit affected by his spiritual energy, instead she merely looked away and pouted in a somewhat childish matter whereas others would have probably been frozen and sweating in fear.
"I assume that you will be either be forcing me to join or imprisoning me if I don't." Rayne muttered grudgingly, her eyes sliding back to the captain towering over her.
"That would be correct." Shoutaichou confirmed as he continued to loom over her, his hands resting on the cane that concealed his zanpakutou.
'Rather straight to the point as well…' Shinji thought as he studied her, his eyes falling onto a hand that was grasping her left leg rather tightly.
'It's definitely hurt'n…' Shinji watched her closely, noticing her fingers clench more tightly and the corner of her mouth straighten.
The silence seemed to be all too loud as the grey eyed woman considered her options, finally she looked up at the person that towered over her. She swallowed the lump in her throat, licked her lips and answered.
