Two Hearts, One Soul: The Girl with His Eyes

"Let go of me!" Sasuke yelled as Shikamaru held him back in his shadow choke.

Shikamaru looked over at Naruto, who was trembling over the last genjutsu Sasuke stuck him in.

'Shoot Naruto's in no condition to fight right now. What the hell did Sasuke show Naruto in that genjutsu?' Shikamaru thought as Hinata stood up next to him.

By the look on Hinata's face she knew what had to be done as did Shikamaru. She looked down at Shikamaru, who nodded his head at her.

"Choji, Kiba please take Naruto and get out of here." She asked her teammates as she activated her Bakyugan. "Shikamaru and I will be right behind you."

"You better be." Kiba told her as he hoisted Naruto onto Akamaru's back.

Kiba, Akamaru, and Choji ran for the entrance of the cave with Naruto. Just outside of the cave Naruto came to and ran back into the cave despite the pleads of Kiba and Choji. Naruto stood looking at Sasuke, who had his right hand wrapped around Hinata's neck. Sasuke cruelly smiled at Naruto.

"Care to watch me finish off Hinata here with your eyes in normal time?" Sasuke cruelly asked Naruto.

"Sasuke stop this! This isn't you! Please don't…" Naruto yelled at Sasuke.

"Oh if only you were stronger than me Naruto then you might have been able to save Shikamaru and Hinata." Sasuke laughed as he held Hinata close to his body.

Naruto watched as Sasuke tighten his grip on Hinata's neck as she tried to free herself.

"Hinata!" Naruto yelled as…

Naruto's eyes flashed opened. It was all a dream, more like a nightmare of the past. Naruto sat up leaning on the tree that he was sleeping under. He looked at his teammates as Sakura rolled over in her roll and Akamaru's tail swished hitting Kiba in the head.

Naruto sighed as he ran his hand through his blonde hair. 'Who else has to die by your hand Sasuke? I swear I will drag you down to hell myself.' Naruto thought as he stared at the full moon. 'Then I'll join you in the after life Hinata. Why the hell did you wait till you were dying to tell me you loved me?'

South Rukon 13th district

"How come we were chosen to do this sweep through?" Mashiro whined as she played with her green hair.

"Would you stop complaining Mashiro." Kensei snapped at the girl.

"But this is so boring couldn't I just go bother Neji-kun in the hospital?"

"No now shut up and keep up with me." Kensei said as he started walking faster.

Kensei walked along the streets ignoring Mashiro only to find Gin walking towards them. "Hey what are you doing out here Gin?" Kensei asked.

"Oh I was just out for a walk. It can get quite cramp just sitting in an office all day." Gin answered with a grin.

"See Kensei even Captain Aikawa let's his squad members have some fun." Mashiro pointed out as she stuck her tongue out at her captain. "You have fun on your walks right Gin?"

"Oh yes lots of fun there are so many interesting people here in the soul society." Gin said as his grin got bigger.

Mashiro huffed seeing that Kensei was ignoring her yet again. But it wasn't like he didn't want to listen to her whining he felt a reiatsu almost exactly like Neji's.

'How is that possible for someone to have the almost the same spiritual pressure as someone else? Let along someone to have Neji's.' Kensei questioned as he placed a hand on top of his Zanpakuto hilt. "Mashiro stay here with Gin. I will be right back."

"But why?" Mashiro started but it was too late Kensei was gone.

'Come on where is he?' Kensei thought as he searched around for the spiritual pressure.

Kensei found himself in front of a small run down mansion. 'The person is in here.'

Kensei opened the door and walked in closing the door behind him. As Kensei walked around inside the mansion he felt like someone was watching him from a far.

'Great this is the same feeling I get from Neji's Bakyugan.' Kensei thought as he walked further inside.

Kensei entered another room. As he walked into this room he caught something in the corner of his eye. Kensei turned his head to see something spark.

"Shoot a paper bomb!" Kensei yelled as he jumped out of the way of the blast.

He barely made it in time. Kensei calmed himself as the smoke from the paper bomb dissipated.

"Great this person was a ninja this place is covered in traps." Kensei muttered as he found more paper bombs placed around the room along with wires.

Kensei closed his eyes focusing on the spirit ribbons of the people in the area. Kensei smirked as he grabbed on that was red. He jumped onto the wall triggering another paper bomb. Just before the bomb went off Kensei jumped away from the walk and hung from the ceiling. Kensei turned to his left then to the right as the smoke cleared out.

"I'll admit that you're good, but you're going to have to do better than that to stop me from finding you." Kensei said as he dropped down from the ceiling.

'She's coming at me from behind?!' Kensei thought as he stood up.

He timed it just right to dodge the girl's attack just before impact. The girl gasped as she started to fall, but it was just a decoy to her next attack. Kensei jumped away from the girl as she tried to kick him.

'She's pushing out reiatsu in her attacks the same exact way Neji does.' Kensei thought as he dodged the girl again, 'Who the hell is she?'

"This isn't working." He heard her say as she pulled out a scroll.

'What is she planning?' Kensei thought as he backed away from the girl. 'I feel like I'm fighting Neji just as he was when he was fresh out of the academy, but there's no way this girl has had any training in the ways of a soul reaper.'

He watched as the girl bit her thumb and swiped it across the unwrapped scroll. There was a puff of smoke as a sword appeared in the girl's hand as the scroll dropped to the ground.

"That's a Zanpakuto. How did you get that?" Kensei asked the girl.

"My Sensei gave it to me. He told me not to use it unless I came face to face with another Soul reaper." The girl answered.

"Then might I ask who you Sensei is?" Kensei asked.

"Why should that matter? Where are you keeping the man that was found during the last Hollow attack?" She snapped at him.

"Hold on here! I'm not your enemy! I came searching for you for your spiritual pressure is like that of one of my squad members." Kensei told the girl as he tried to get a better look at the girl's face.

"How much alike are they?" the girl asked.

"Almost identical."

The girl turned her head so her face was deeper in the shadows. 'Who could he be talking about? Neji?' She asked herself. 'No, I mustn't be afraid. Azien promised me that I would be reunited with Naruto if I join him.'

"You're lying! You came here because of the soul reaper you just bumped into in the streets!" She yelled back at him.

'Does she mean Gin? How is Gin connected to this girl?' Kensei tried to figure out the girl.

"Now fade, Amarante!" The girl yelled releasing her Zanpakuto.

"Shoot you can already release your Shikai form?!" Kensei jumped out of the girl's attack as he pulled out his own Zanpakuto. "I didn't want to do this but you leave me no choice. Blow Tachikaze!" Kensei released his own Zanpakuto, as he got ready to deliver his own attack on the girl.

As Kensei flash stepped closer to the girl he saw her eyes finally and saw that they were as white as Neji's. Kensei backed off as the girl looked at him with a puzzling look on her face.

"Why did you not attack me just now?" She asked.

Kensei placed his Zanpakuto back into its shrive, "I will not attack you for your eyes are just like his in fact I would have thought you stole his eyes if I didn't know better."

"I don't know who you are talking about but putting your Zanpakuto away against me was a mistake." The girl yelled as she charged.

Kensei found Neji standing in between him and the girl. "I'm sorry to interrupt this little battle Captain, but Lieutant Mashiro was worried about you." Neji apologized as the girl retreated into the shadows.

"There's no point in hiding. I already know who you are Hinata." Neji told the girl as he lowered his Zanpakuto.

"I really do like having that Byakugan of your around Neji." Kensei commented as the girl came out of the shadows.

"Actually sir I knew who she was here before I came." Neji stated as Hinata looked at him with a look of shock, "Yes Hinata, Shikamaru told me where to find you."

Kensei watched as Hinata dropped her Zanpakuto and fell to the ground crying.

"Was all he told me a lie?" She asked.

"Who are you talking about?" Neji and Kensei asked Hinata.

"He told me if I keep training with him and joined him. He would reunite me with Naruto." Hinata sobbed.

"Oh my I guess I've been caught." Kensei and Neji turned around to find Sosuke Azien standing right behind them.

"What's the meaning of this Lieutant Azien?" Kensei questioned the Lieutant of squad five.

"Well I found Hinata and Shikamaru here when I joined Gin on one of his walks. And I just couldn't leave them so I started training them in hopes that they could join the soul academy and graduate within a year like you did Neji." Azien explained.

"So you took it upon yourself to train them instead of bringing them straight to soul academy like you are suppose to do?" Kensei questioned Azien.

"I know it was selfish of me and that I should have stuck with orders, but I couldn't help myself I just wanted to see if I could train a person to be a soul reaper on my own." Azien hung his head as if he was asking forgiveness of his actions.

"We will deal with this after we return." Kensei told Azien as he headed for the door. "Come on Lieutant Azien. Neji please bring the girl back with you."

"I'm sorry Azien-sama." Hinata whispered.

"This is not your fault Hinata." Azien smiled at the girl as he followed Kensei.

Hinata stood up after Azien was gone and just looked at Neji. That's when she noticed the black 69 on his upper right arm.

'Since when did Neji think about a tattoo?' she thought.

"In case you are wondering about the sixty nine. It is a tradition of squad nine to get a tattoo of sixty nine on their body once they enter the squad." Neji told her as he walked towards the door. "Pick up you Zanpakuto and come on."

Hinata picked up Amarante as she ran after Neji, 'Somehow he is the same Neji that I knew back in Konoha.'
