Thanks for waiting!

By the way, sorry for the slow updates. It's not because I can't think of anything, but because I can't use the computer that much. I'm too 'young' to get my own. But I write it all down on paper, so I'm on Chapter 13 now. :P

And I need reviews. I'm not entirely sure if yall like it. Because if yall don't, I'll stop posting it.


Soul Society-Somewhere in Seireitei

"Do I have to?" Hisagi tried to make his whining not sound childish.

"Do you want to go to jail?"

What a sneaky...

"Well," Nanao said, frustrated at his lack of conversation. "Do you?"

"... No." He replied like a sulky teenager.

"Then do what I say." Nanao looked around. She dropped her voice to a whisper. "Listen, my taichou is acting very suspicious."

"Suspicious?"

"Yes. He said, and I quote, 'I know her.'"

Hisagi was shocked. That means she's not bad right? That there is a explanation for this whole thing! But when he mentioned this, Nanao laughed in his face.

"You are way to naive. Why would she be on our side? She infiltrated Seireitei, attacked 2 lieutenants-one of which was you-and is planning on doing more."

"No, Nanao. You are just too negative. Why would you jump to that conclusion? Do you actually believe that Kyoraku taichou is a traitor?"

Nanao winced as he reflected her unthought feeings. She tried to brush it off. "While she is still attacking Seireitei, I will still target her. I won't let her destroy all that the Gotei 13 worked to build."

"But she hasn't really done anything!"

"Yet. She hasn't done anything yet. But, we will kill her before she does."


Seireitei- Sewers

A large black butterfly grew right next to its twin.

Damn! I missed. She dodged slightly, but I still got her. Soi Fon jumped back to strategise her next move.

She's stronger than I thought... Mikuru held her stomach, which was erupting with crimson blood. And the pain! Oh, the hurt... I guess I have no choice... I'm going to have to.... She coughed up blood and spat to her side.

"This time I wont miss." Soi Fon ran at Mikuru, wielding Suzumebachi expertly.

"Ban...Kai." Mikuru whispered.

Wh-what?! Soi Fon stopped in her tracks.

The sewer imploded. A deep violet reiastu engulfed Mikuru and Soi Fon.


Seireitei-13th Division

Kyoraku and Ukitake were enjoying a nice, hot cup of green tea. Or at least Ukitake was.

"Ugh." Kyoraku moaned. He rolled the green liquid around in his cup. "Jushiro, where's the sake?"

"You know Nanao-chan doesn't want you drinking."

"I'll deal with her."

"Sure, sure." Ukitake reluctantly pulled out two bottles of sake and Kyoraku clapped his hands together happily.

"Better make that three." A voice drifted from out the window.

"I knew Urahara-san would send you sooner or later." Ukitake replied as he pulled out another bottle of sake.

"Hey, Youro-san." Kyoraku greeted as he took his bottle.

Yourichi jumped through the window and sat down. "You know what I want to know."

"Well..."

"And don't give me any excuses."

"Relax, have a drink." Kyoraku handed her a bottle and she took it with shaking hands. She was beyond worried. She took a violent swig and swished the sake around in her mouth. "You seem relaxed..." Yourichi sent him a death glare.

"Youro-san," Ukitake began. "I know you and Urahara-"

"And Shinji and Kensei and Tessai and-"

"Anyway," Ukitake shot a glare at Kyoraku's flushed face and empty bottle. "This is what she wants."

"To infiltrate Seireitei? Her second home? Get herself killed? Do you understand what would happen to any shinigami who even lays a finger on her? The Gotei 13 could get dismembered!" Ukitake waited patiently for Yourichi to calm down.

"Youro-san" Ukitake said in a soothing voice. "She knows how to fight. You taught her a lot of what she knows now. Are you saying she's not capable?"

"Capable of what?!" Yourichi took a swig of sake to clam her nerves. "I don't understand."

"This is a test of her strength and capability."

That test... After swallowing another mouthful, Yourichi asked another question. "Does her father know?"

"No. She wants him to stay out of her life."

Yourichi held her face in her hands. This could get messy for all of us."Do the captains know?"

"What kinda test wouddit be if tey knew it?" Kyoraku drawled. The two ignored him.

"Only Kyoraku, Unohana, Yama-jii and myself. No one else knows."

"Is this because of what happened last time?"

"I think, but she hasn't said why."

The three fell silent.

A light bulb went off in Yourichi's mind. "But her life is still at risk..."

Ukitake looked away and Kyoraku closed his eyes.

Neither breathed a word.


Kinda short, but I wanted to have SOMETHING up.
Wonder what they meant by 'last time'...
