Ukitake's POV

I didn't know what I was seeing. It's like she was able to be in two places at once, or at least she was that fast. In under fifteen minutes she had gotten 24/25 of the machines. Though no one else seen it I saw a flash of black near the last robot and I'm pretty sure she was it. Most likely she had stopped herself from shooting the final one, a feat that no one has been able to do, well at least only after years of being a captain here. This girl was something else, like she had already been trained for our line of work. Amazing.

Shiro's POV

Aizen is one needy bastard. Right after I got back to Las Noches, he called again. It was probably about Yuki. If it was anyone else, I'd say that she was more than she was worth, but I'd be lying about Yuki. The doors appeared to suddenly as the blue tile floor announced my arrival all on it's own.

"Shiro welcome back. We should assume that you gave her both devices? Watch and tracer,?" Aizen asked, seeming to already know the answer.

"She'll come back. I took something from her that's irreplaceable. She's now mine," I say finalizing my claim on Yuki.

Aizen chuckled before sending me on my way. There had been a little bird listening in on our conversation though. A weird child with a creepy helmet on scurried right into another hallway as I followed him. He knew I was coming and his run was just prolonging his fate.

"Di Roy, if you come out I promise to make it painless," I purred.

"Make what painless?" a new voice said coming out from the blue, literally.

"Well Grimmjow, didn't expect to see ya here," I say, playing with him.

"Just wondering what my remaining subordinate was doing," He said, answering my unheard question.

"Really? I thought he died? " I said eying the scurrying Fraccion. Also didn't think him the kind of person to listen to classified conversations," I said, telling Grim just what his Fraccion was doing.

"Ya and I heard it was quite interesting too," Grimmjow said calmly, but his eyes held hate in them.

"Oh, about how I took Yuki to the Shinigami or about how I claimed her as mine," The last part I went up and whispered in his ear, "She pretty good in bed, for a virgin."
This put him over the edge. He tried to punch me but they were too slow. It was incredibly easy to dodge. When he hit his hand on the wall he seemed to regain control again enough for him to say his little speech.

"It's funny, if I remember right, the last time you seen your brother you told him not to slipp because you'll pull him down and crush his skull. Well Shirosaki, this is your warning. You let Yuki even slip through those snowflake fingers of yours and any one of us espada will snatch right from your grasp. And thanks for the heads up about her skill in bed. One less thing I'll have to teach her when she's mine," he finished.

I watched him leave, that annoying smirk played across his face. Bastard, Yuki will be mine forever.

Yuki's POV

There was still a half hour before time ran out and I was just waking up from a cat nap. This test was probably the easiest I've had it since, that day. It was good the things didn't shoot back or I might have had a hella lot more trouble. My gun still had one shot in it and I planned to keep it that way. Well before the blood curdling scream shot throughout the place. Grabbing my gun I ran to wherever that place was. The Chinese looking girl was on the ground, unconscious with a horrible looking bruise to her forehead. The pain had been scrapped of moment before I got to her, but it looked pretty critical. Picking her up bridal style I headed towards the door were I came in.

Knocking on it I yelled," Hey we have someone in critical condition here who needs attention! Hello?"

"No one will come through those doors, not until the timer runs out," A bored voice came from behind me. It was Baldy

"Well is there anyone here who's a medical practitioner?" I said a little annoyed.

"The only one I know of here is Kotetsu-san-" He was cut off by me.

"Okay what does she look like," I said in a hurry.

"Silver hair, two braids insanely tall," He's never met Nnoitra.

"Okay I'll try and find her," I say he looks at me with surprise again.

It takes me a whole two minutes before I find this Kotetsu, and when I do she already looks very beat.

"Kostetsu-san?" I ask

"Hmm?" She says

"We have someone who's in pretty bad condition, their at the front door?" I say starting to lose strength in my voice, realizing that I was worrying over a stranger.

"R-right, let's go quickly," She says now determined again.

I end up reaching there a good five seconds before her and look at the now peacefully sleeping girl.

"Oh dear. It looks like we might have a mild concussion on our hands.."She continued on, ordering all who ended up coming over. Finally the girl opened up her eyes, quickly and very alert.

"I remember being in a lot of pain and shock, then being rescued be a flying...um," The girl stopped blushing slightly.

"Being rescued by what Hinamori," The large boob strawberry blond asked.

I knew she was going to say something along the lines of angel so I cut in with a quiet voice, "I brought her back here if that's what you're asking."

All thirteen people looked to me just before the timer went off and the doors shot open. Wonderful first impression.

A Captain with a black braid in the front rushed with subordinates to Hinamori, rushing her out the door.

The old man came in fuming, "And who was it that shot for Hinamori!"
"Captain-Commander, no one would purposely do this to Hinamori. It was probably a stray-" the strawberry was cut off by a little boy with white hair.

"Not now Rangiku," He said with power to his voice.

Not that anyone noticed, but I seen a certain red head sigh and about to speak. He looked like this would probably destroy his life. I wasn't here to make friends, but I also made a big scene and felt responsible.

"It was my stray bullet that hit Hinamori, which is why I was able to get her help," I said, lying to everyone's face.

"That would be impossible as you hit all the targets head on and still have an extra ball within' your gun," a man with a kenseikan spoke up.

Pissed I took my gun and fired it at the wall, "I'm admitting my fault and your now saying I'm a lair. I shall take any punishment but that."

"By taking this punishment, it means you'll never be able to become a Captain," The Commander said.

"I know, but what kind of person would be-," I was cut off by the red head cutting in and admitting his mistake.

"Stop it! It was my bullet that hit Hinamori. The robot moved out of the way before I could stop it," The red head said. I felt really stupid.

"No it was none of you, actually, it wasn't a paint ball but a BB," the woman with with the braid said as she reentered the room. I sighed, my gut telling me that was the wrong thing to do.

"I'm sure your comrades here all appreciate you trying to cover up but next time, stay out of what's not your business," The man with the kenseikan.

Everyone was lined up either in order or with their captains so of course I was the last to exit with Ukitake.

"That was really brave of you to stand up for Renji," Ukitake whispered to me, "Everyone seen him squirming. It's okay, him and Byakuya have a history, don't take it personally."

"Right," I say, unsatified

"And if Hinamori hadn't got the treatment she did, when she did, she would probably be in worse condition," Ukitake aslo whispered.

"Really?" I ask

"Really."

"Thank you Ukitake-taichou," I said with gratitude.

"No problem. But Mai-san, I have some questions for you when we get back to my office."

"Okay~," I said smiling at him.
