I do not own Naruto or Bleach. I hope you enjoy and thank you to all my faithful readers! About Hikari, you'll learn more about her later.

~Hinata's PoV~

It felt nice running around, the wind flowing through my hair, the feel of flying. I remember how much you loved it, Hikari-chan (Light). I looked at the bracelet she had given back to me. I had given her two charms out of the 15 I had, reducing the number to 13: the yellow yarrow (healing and health) and the mixed zinnia (thinking of an absent friend). I had given it to her in hopes of her finding her zanpakuto and at the moment we both touched the bracelet, Iyashihikari (Healing Light) had been born. Iyashihikari had been everything she had dreamed of. She thanked me tremendously. That was how we had both come to wield her. I had created her, but Hikari-chan had given her her unique power and name.

She began to act weird after that. I was so surprised to see that she had been trying to find something to give to me in return. When I found out, I had told her to not, but she had gotten me this. It held charms for the four main elements. Water, fire, earth, and air. I had given it back to her and told her, "You carry it for me. That way, every time you leave, you'll have to come back to return it." I ran out to the top of a tall building. But now…she had returned it.

"Ah! It's the Senzaikyu (palace of remorseful sin)! Hikari-chan, do you think that my friends would be amazed at this structure?" I asked to her spirit. I thought for a moment. "I guess so!~ But…I hope they don't come anytime soon. They should have a long, happy life." I put my hand to my face, shadowing my eyes from the sun. I looked around. "I wonder which way the Academy is," I wondered aloud. I felt someone come behind me, a captain?

"You're looking the wrong way," I heard a voice say. Hitsugaya-taicho (captain)-san!

"Ah! Hitsugaya-taicho-san! You found me! I was hoping I could find the Academy before you happened to find me," I said.

"Too bad. Come on. Let's go back to the Sogo Kyugo Tsumesho (coordinated relief station) now," he said.

"Can't I visit the Academy? I have to…do something there," I asked him.

"Iie. (No.) It can wait, can't it? It's more important for you to recover," he stated.

"Are you sure? I just want to take some things from my dorm, before someone decides to trash it again," I said. I clamped my hand over my mouth.

"Trash it? What do you mean again?" he asked. Gyah!

"Ah! N-N-N-N-Nothing! There I go, running my mouth again! Let's go back to the Sogo Kyugo Tsumesho now! I guess I'm in a lot of trouble huh?" I said, waving my arms around, smiling sheepishly. (in a very Orihime Inoue-like fashion)

"You said you just wanted to pick some things up huh? Fine. Let's go," he said, walking down from the Senzaikyu. I followed.

"Arigato (Thank you), Hitsugaya-taicho," I whispered.

"Let's just go," he grumbled, turning away from me. I smiled. I let the reiryoku (spiritual energy) release from my feet and fell.

"Come on, Hitsugaya-taicho!" I shouted at him.

"Oi! (Hey!) Matte! (Wait!) You're going to get hurt!" he shouted. He also let the reiryoku release from his feet and fell after me. As the ground came closer, I turned in a flip and landed on my feet. He also flipped, barely making it to his feet. I smiled.

"Who's going to get hurt?" I asked him. He looked away, grumbling. I giggled. "Y'know Hitsugaya-taicho, you're really sweet."

He stopped for a moment. "Am not!" he grumbled. "So what is it you want to get anyways?"

"Some of Hikari-chan's stuff. She wanted me to have it. It's just some notes on our zanpakuto," I answered. He stopped and looked at me.

"You just broke the law," he accused of me, noticing the 'our' in the sentence. I turned to him.

"Nope!~ We didn't," I told him. "When you figure it out, tell me. I'll explain to Yamamoto-captain-commander when he asks later anyways."

"Baka. (Idiot.) You are so stupid. I'll tell him later," he told me.

"Hai! (Yes!) Then I don't have to tell him myself!" I told him.

"You're really weird," he mumbled.

"All part of my charm," I told him, laughing. I looked up. "Oh! We're here. I'll be right back!" I ran off. I unlocked our door, the key under the mat, finding the room trashed. "Mattaku! (Geez!) Those guys really will jump at any chance they get!" I said, thinking about something Hikari-chan had said.

Flashback…

"They trashed our room again! We just cleaned up!" she yelled at the messy room. "Stupid Yin and Yuki! I hope you two rot in H-E-double hockey stick! You two both suck!"

"H-Hikari-san! L-Let's just clean up!" I tried calming her down.

"I'm just annoyed. Gomen. (Sorry.)," she said, realizing something. "I thought I told you to call me Hikari or Hikari-chan! Hinata-chan! You're too formal! We're friends now, ne? (right?) Besides," she sighed, a tired look in her eye. "This is normal now. Those guys will jump at any chance to make us miserable, even if we died."

End of Flashback…

Ah! Irony, no one likes you! Hikari-chan's bed and desk were missing, signifying someone either stealing them or the sensei clearing it out before the room was trashed. The curtains hung crooked on the window, shredded until it would be pointless to even put them up. My covers were thrown on the floor and the pillow was lodged onto the half-open window, soaking wet. There was toilet paper strewn in different places. Tests and notes were soaked until the words were smudged and thrown on the floor. The bookcase was turned over and the books were wet as well, thrown onto the floor carelessly. The closet was open and clothes were tattered, soaked, and left there. On the walls, people had written all over it, some overlapping:

Go away!

Cheaters!

Stay away from Hitsugaya-taicho!

Quit seducing Byakuya-taicho!

Over-achievers!

Teachers' pets!

Liars!

Bribers!

Leave!

Things to that effect.

"So you weren't joking," Hitsugaya-taicho's voice drifted through the door. I looked behind me.

"Why would I lie, Hitsugaya-taicho? I just wanted to find some things," I told him. I walked around, trying to picture the room when it was neat. The two beds would be right next to each other in the corners, a bookcase in between. The desks would be by the closet door on the opposite wall. The desks would be neat and so would everything else.

"Hmm…The desk should be over here," I walked over to the place where Hikari-chan's desk was. "So then her bed is there," I walked over to Hikari-chan's bed. "Then it should be…" I walked in between where the two objects were. I pulled out Iyashihikari and tapped her point to the ground. The ground opened up, showing several notebooks. I grabbed those and walked into my closet, tapping Yoganudewa's (Lava Bracelet's) point to the ground this time and the ground opened up, showing another room. I set the notebooks by this opening and jumped down, both sheathed once again.

"Oi! Matte!" Hitsugaya-taicho yelled.

"Just wait!" I yelled up. He looked down through the opening and saw me. He sighed, but respected my word and let me pack. I looked around, looking for some things. The room was basically like the closet above, except not trashed. On the left side were all our, Hikari-chan's and my, tops. The other side held both of our skirts and pants. Our clothes supply wasn't too big so there was a lot of room left over. In front were 7 different-sized packs, a tent, two sleeping bags, and some more books. I grabbed the biggest pack, putting in all the tops and bottoms, which numbered around 40 all together. I put in all of the books, happy to see that there was still some room left over. I put the tent in and put in three of the smallest bags. I took the second biggest bag and fit the last bag and a sleeping bag inside, leaving enough room to put in the notebooks. I tossed the filled bag up the opening.

"Catch!" I yelled up to him. I heard a 'thump!' sound coming from above. I slung the bag over my shoulder and jumped up, finding him standing right in front of me, the bag next to him. I got up, put all Hikari-chan's notebooks into the bag and went back down, grabbing a sleeping bag, and bringing it up too.

"Done!~" I said. He rolled his eyes. I stacked the two bags, one on top of the other and took out Iyashihikari. I tapped her point in between the two and the two became a small pack, around the size of a small sleeping bag. His eyes widened the slightest bit. I grabbed it, slinging it onto my shoulders. "Ok!~ Let's go!" I said. I grabbed his hand without thinking and walked out of the dorm, the key left under the mat.

I came upon the Sogo Kyugo Tsumesho, my room up onto the sixth floor. Unlucky number. I thought for a moment. I jumped up, had the reiryoku harden under my feet, and entered through the window I broke through.

"Ah! I better fix that window!" I said aloud.

"Yes, you should," came a soft voice behind me.

"Unohana-taicho-san!" I yelled. "Eto…(Umm…)" I smiled sheepishly. "H-How much trouble am I in?" I asked her. There was silence for a moment.

"Not too much. That is, if you agree to pay for the window and only leave after an approved check-up. That isn't too much to ask is it?" she asked me.

"Iie! Eto…Would it be ok if I just fixed the window?" I asked her. She nodded. I held my hand out and imagined the glass there. I took my reiryoku, hardening it there, exactly in the shape I had broken it in. Soon, I opened my eyes, the glass filling the hole, but loose. I gently ran a finger between the two, not wanting to make it crooked. As I ran my finger between the two, my reiryoku was filling the cracks, making it one large glass window. After it was done, I looked to Unohana-taicho-san. She had long black hair that she pulled into a braid in front of her. She was always kind, but not someone to mess with.

"Is this ok?" I asked her. Her eyes were wide and her skin had become paler. "Unohana-taicho-san! Daijobou? (Are you ok?)" I asked, frantically. She shook her head for a second.

"Ah! I'm afraid I was surprised. So let's get you checked up." she stated.

"What happened to Taicho?" Matsumoto-fukutaicho (lieutenant)-san asked. I sweat dropped.

"Well…" I started.

Flashback…

"You're going the wrong way," he stated, pulling me in another direction.

"I am not! It's this way. It's a shortcut I use when Hikari-chan gets admitted to the Sogo Kyugo Tsumesho," I told him.

"You are worse than a child not getting candy," he complained to me.

"You're one to talk, you're only a few years older than me," I argued.

"Says the one who's been here under a year," he countered.

"You just have to follow me once, ne? So just do it," I told him, taking off without shunpo (flash step). He suddenly came behind me, picking me up easily. I pouted.

"You need to eat more. You're too light. Anyways, let's just get back," he told me. I flicked him in the forehead and put my hand on his head, using it as leverage to jump out of his arms and shunpo away. I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Come on Hitsugaya-taicho! You're too slow!~" I yelled at him, already a long way gone.

End of Flashback…

"…and then right after, I had jumped up this window instead of climbing the stairs so I'm sure that he's coming up right now," I explained. "In fact, he should burst in here in about…3…2…1…Landing." Sure enough, the door slammed open and he was there, with a very large angry vein on his forehead. He put me in a headlock, yelling at me.

"What the h311 did you think you were doing?" he growled. I laughed.

"Having fun. You know, you should loosen up more. It doesn't hurt to laugh and smile sometimes," I told him. "Besides," I flipped him over my shoulder, having him sprawled on his back on the bed. "I bet that," I pointed at him. "you would look nicer with a smile on your face." I poked his forehead.

I turned around. "Matsumoto-fukutaicho-san!~ Don't you agree? Eh? Matsumoto-fukutaicho-san?" Suddenly from behind, she was there, trying to get me into a certain hold. I used my flexibility and got out of it, trapping her in the exact same hold she was trying to get me.

"Eh? Is everyone against me today or something?" I asked as I absent-mindedly released her and used shunpo to go to the examination room at the same time.

~Matsumoto's PoV~

That girl! She had embarrassed Taicho by flipping him over onto his back and having enough time to lop off his head if she wanted while getting me into a hold that would have killed me if she was an enemy. What was this girl? She had just beaten a taicho and fukutaicho.

"Taicho!~" I whined. "We just got beat by a girl that was here for under a month." He grunted, getting himself up and turning to me.

"Let's go Matsumoto. I need to talk to Yamamoto-taicho. Now," he told me.

We arrived upon his quarters, knocking. "Come in," came his worn voice. We both entered, bowing. Inside the big room, he stood there with Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai. They had probably just finished giving him a report or something. "What is it you came to see me about?"

"It is news regarding Hinata Hyuga, one of the more recent students of the Academy," Taicho said.

"Yes?" Yamamoto-taicho asked.

"She is very proficient in hakudo. She has been able to detain both Matsumoto and I, without breaking a sweat. Though we weren't trying too hard, she was still able to do so. In addition, her hoho is also impressive. She was able to go very fast even without using shunpo. Regarding her roommate…she and Hyuga had been hiding the fact that both hold ownership over a zanpakuto," Taicho told him. I resisted the urge to go yell at her. What was she thinking?

"Bring that youngster over here. She needs to have a beating," he stated, his reiatsu (spiritual pressure) rising a little. I bowed and left, leaving Taicho. I ran into Kenpachi-taicho and Yachiru-chan.

"Where you going?" Yachiru-chan asked. She must have seen my grim face.

"Hinata-chan has broken a law and Yamamoto-taicho has called for her," I explained.

"Eh! She has?" Yachiru-chan shrieked loudly, in her high voice of hers.

"Well…ye-Wait! How do you know her?" I asked her.

"Ken-chan! Can we go see what happens to her?" Yachiru-chan asked Kenpachi-taicho, ignoring me.

"Sure! If this turns into a battle, we can jump in too!" he said, bloodthirstily.

"Hurry hurry, Boobies-chan! We want to see Hina-chan!" Yachiru told me.

"Hai. (Yes.) Eto…How do you know her?" I asked again. She ignored me as Kenpachi-taicho and her left.

I used shunpo to go to the medical room she was in, finding her sitting on her bed Indian-style with her two zanpakuto beside her.

"Hinata-chan. Yamamoto-taicho would like to see you," I told her. She opened her eyes, strapping on both her zanpakuto. Together, we left and used shunpo to reach his quarters. During this entire trip, I stayed silent. Inside, I wanted to ask her so many questions:

Do you have a reason?

Will you end up fighting?

Why did you do it?

How are you going to get out of this mess?

Are you going to get punished?

Are you going to leave me?…

So many questions, but I didn't ask a single one. Hinata-chan should have enough on her mind…

As we reached the destination, she knocked respectfully. "Hinata Hyuga, please stay outside for a moment. Rangiku, come in," breathed Yamamoto-taicho's grave voice. He told us some things and then I let Hinata-chan in. She entered, bowing respectfully. I took my rightful place, watching as calmly as I could. "Hinata Hyuga, is it true that you and your roommate both held the same zanpakuto and did not have a battle over it?" She looked him in the eye.

~Hitsugaya's PoV~

Stupid! How could you! "…over it?" he asked. She looked him in the eye.

"Though it is true that Hikari-chan and I both held Iyashihikari, we did battle over it," she answered. "It is not exactly what you are thinking, however. Please, let me explain, Yamamoto-captain-commander," she asked. He nodded. She bowed a little, straightening up after.

"Every day, Hikari-chan and I would be bullied. It was a common occurrence. Hikari-chan and I held the two top places in the class, but were the youngest. Though I had my zanpakuto, Hikari-chan did not. Her dream was to have a zanpakuto that would make healing easier, to be in the same team as Unohana-taicho-san. She says her name was given to her by Unohana-taicho-san. She respected her very much, devoting her time and energy to reading healing kido books and memorizing different herb properties with me. After some time, I asked her why her zanpakuto had not yet formed, though she was in her last year of the Academy. She answered, 'I think that there is something missing. I'm not sure what, but I bet as soon as I find it, then I'll get a zanpakuto.'

"True as her word, the missing object was what got her zanpakuto to form. The next day, I gave her a bracelet with two charms. They were flower charms: a yellow yarrow meaning healing and health and a mixed zinnia meaning thinking of an absent friend. As I handed her this bracelet, it became a zanpakuto and both of us found ourselves facing her. Her name is Iyashihikari." She pulled out one of the zanpakuto. The tsuba (sword guard; usually round) was a sun and the blade was about the same size as the other. This one, however, was more round. She placed it—her—on the ground in front of Yamamoto-taicho, continuing.

"We were both able to pass her test. As we did, I asked her why she had given me the test to me too. She had answered telling both of us that though Hikari-chan had given her her power and name, that I had given her her form and shape. Hikari-chan had been so ecstatic, having her own zanpakuto, even though it had only been for a few moments. With that, I decided to make a compromise with Iyashihikari. The one who beat the other at zanjutsu ("art of the sword; cutting technique) would wield her. Hikari-chan and I battled. However, she beat me, just as I knew she would. I could never win her in zanjutsu. In that way, Hikari-chan wielded Iyashihikari.

"The day of the practice Hollows, we also fought. We connected minds as she was injured and fought in an imaginary world. This time, I did not spare Hikari-chan any hits. I beat her, both of us smiling and crying at the same time. That day, she did pass away. She did die. It was by my hand. She knew it too. If I had not battled her at that second, she would have lived. It was that…we both knew that we should do it then. We both knew that…we could not keep the charade up for much longer so we battled. I am sorry to say that she would have made a better shinigami (death god; soul reaper) than I would have. Demo…(But…) as she was dying, she told me something. I am afraid I cannot tell you. She made me promise and I would like to honor her last wish. I would like to ask of your forgiveness. We both did not want to lie, however…we both would hate to fight." She bowed to him, Iyashihikari still on the floor.

He laughed. It suddenly reminded me of an old man laughing at another. "It is fine. Though in return, I would like to test you," he said. She perked up.

"Arigato! Eto…Test me?" she questioned. She picked up Iyashihikari, putting her back into her sheathe. "Eto…Why? How?"

He looked at her. "You'll see why. Now. I would like Hitsugaya to start off!" he yelled. Then, I used shunpo to come behind her, and attack with hakudo, throwing a punch to her back. She turned around and grabbed my hand at the last second surprised.

"Ugh!" she groaned. "Let me guess. My punishment is to face people in this room. Great! This stinks big time!" I took this opportunity to try and knock her off her feet. She jumped up, flipping over me and throwing a kick at me herself. I used my forearm to block, pushing it aside and throwing a punch at her. She dodged, moving her head left. (My left.)

I'll write about this fight later. ^_^ Review please!~
