-:-
Rio and Yuri sat beside each other, still in Shun's room, their heads lowered and their legs pulled up to their chests. They didn't want to go out. Their friend had left early in the morning with her cat, saying she was going to train. They were still too sad, even though they said they were going to move on and try to forget their Captains. Why was it so hard to forget about them?
"Rio... my chest still hurts." Yuri said, looking at her friend with a sad expression on her face.
"Mine, too." Rio muttered, putting a hand to her chest.
The green eyed woman looked up, her features darkening, making Yuri widen her eyes and inch away from her. Her eyes filled with tears comically, wondering why Rio looked so mad. And why was out green eyed friend mad? Simple.
Kaen Hebi.
As usual.
Leave me alone, Kaen Hebi. I'm depressed.
No shit. Listen Princess, when someone dumps ya, ya either gotta be all depressed and eat chocolate an' shit, or... get pissed.
What?
I'm sayin' either be depressed or pissed. Princess, Bya Bya said he hated how ya looked. Seems ta me that the answer is obvious on what ya should do.
Rio paused and furrowed her eyebrows in concentration. Get mad? Or get depressed? How would Kaen Hebi even know about this? She stared into space, thinking over her zanpakuto's words.
Byakuya Kuchiki.
Rio narrowed her eyes dangerously, clenching her hands, curling her upper lip. How dare he say he hated how she looked! She didn't care how she looked, but then he had the nerve to say she looked weird! And after all those years of devoting herself to him! She ground her teeth together.
Yuri blinked when she stood up, looking at her friend curiously.
"Come, Yuri!" Rio growled, her hands clenched by her sides, turning her head to give a dark, dark, dark expression to her friend, making her smaller friend widen her eyes. "We're going to get advice from Shun!"
Rio stomped over to the door, Yuri slowly standing up with an unsure look on her face.
"What kind of advice?" Yuri asked, eyebrows furrowed, kind of worried.
Rio's hand was on the door, turning her head, her eyes wide with rage and dark circles under her eyes, making Yuri scream while crying comically.
She looked scary!
"We're going to get advice... on expressing out anger!"
-:-
"You wanna express your anger?" Shun asked, her eyebrow raised and her sword resting on her shoulder, Yukiko sitting on the wall while watching.
"Yes." Rio said, nodding with a determined expression.
Shun blinked several times and frowned, turning her head to stare at Yuri, seeing the brown haired woman give her a nervous grin. The childish woman shrugged, making the woman's frown grow, looking back at her other friend.
"Well, Rio, you can just express your anger now. You don't need me to-"
"But you're the master at being angry!" Rio yelled, grabbing the front of her friend's robes and shaking her.
"WHAT?" Shun yelled, stopping her friend and grabbing the front of her friend's robes and lifting her in the air, an obvious twitch in her eye. "The fuck's that supposed to mean!"
"It means you are... always angry, Kitty." Yuri said, shrugging. "Can you put Rio down? She looks mad."
Shun stared at her friend and frowned in confusion, glancing at her other friend, widening her eyes in shock when she saw the dark look in Rio's eyes. What the hell...? The sides of her mouth twitched, raising an eyebrow with amusement. She dropped her friend and threw her head back, laughing loudly, gaining everyone's, in the courtyard, attention.
Rio blinked and pouted her lips, sitting on the ground, glaring at her friend. She was serious! She turned her head, feeling a hand on her shoulder, seeing Yuri give her a smile and help her up. They glanced at their friend, seeing her hit the ground repeatedly, laughing too hard and practically crying. Shun immediately stopped and stood up, facing her friends with a smirk, sheathing her sword.
"You want to express your anger? That's fine with me." Shun said, waving her one of her hands with a large smirk and the other hand on her hip. "Yuri, are you in or out?"
"Uh... um..." Yuri glanced at her green eyed friend, sighing. "I'm in."
"Okay." Shun said, grinning widely. "First... you gotta get pissed off from whoever or whatever the hell's getting you mad!" She yelled, a wide maniacal grin on her face, raising one of her hands with a crazy look in her eyes.
Yuri furrowed and turned her head, seeing Rio nod with a pout on her lips. She closed her eyes and sighed deeply.
She had a bad feeling.
The Captain of the eleventh division, Kenpachi Zaraki, watched from the porch, his arms folded over his chest and his eyes narrowed dangerously, seeing a large smirk on Shun's face, talking animatedly to her friends, making hand signals and glancing at her friends every now and then to make sure they were watching.
That bitch.
She didn't look pissed or sad at all.
He frowned and growled, glaring at her, remembering those things she said. He unfolded his arms and put his hands on the railing, glaring at the woman, curling his upper lip. People walking by would freeze when they saw the dark look. But the wood around his hands cracked when he saw her grinning.
She looked too damn happy!
Yachiru furrowed her eyebrows, watching from inside the division, seeing the Captain's reaction and glancing at Shun. What had happened between both of them?
-:-
"I hate you Byakuya Kuchiki!" Rio yelled, stomping her feet and yelling to the skies.
"I hate you Toshiro Hitsugaya!" Yuri yelled, flailing her arms and glaring at the clouds that passed over.
Shun stared at them with a blank look, sitting down near them, a deep sigh leaving her mouth. Why the hell would Rio suddenly go to her and ask her for advice on getting angry? Damn insulting towards her. It's not like she was always mad.
She snickered.
Ah, yeah. She could tell she was lying to herself.
"Shun! What next!" Rio yelled, glaring at her friend and hyperventilating.
Shun blinked and stared at her friend.
Shit. She looks pissed.
I agree.
What do I do, Tora no Yuki?
Asking me for help? I'm honored.
Shut up.
Well, if you are referring to your problem with your Captain, then-
NO!
Shun growled, glaring straight ahead, clenching her hands. Like hell she was ever thinking about that asshole! She would rather.. get kidnapped or something than think of that bastard!
Then I suggest just telling your friends to confront their Captains.
Any... Any better plans?
Well... I suggest telling them to cause havoc.
Havoc?
You know... what you usually do when you are angry. You know, when you get that unbelievable urge to gouge-
I get it!
Shun sighed and pushed herself up, cracking her neck and giving her friends a deep frown, seeing their eyes narrowed and hands clenched, waiting for their next instructions. She stretched her arms over her head, eyes narrowed, staring at their sky for several moments. Rio and Yuri blinked, glancing at each other. They widened their eyes, a few strands of their hair flying to the side, turning their heads, seeing that Shun's sword was unsheathed, her eyes narrowed.
A large smirk spread across her face, swinging her sword several times, Rio and Yuri trying desperately to dodge her attacks. People looked up from their lounging, some of them perking up and grinning, some even standing up and cheering.
"C'mon, kick their asses, Masuyo!"
"You can get 'em!"
Rio unsheathed her sword and blocked the attack from her friend, her eyes wide, staring at her friend with a questioning gaze. Shun grinned widely, understanding immediately shining in both of Rio and Yuri's eyes.
She was asking them to release their anger out on her.
They narrowed their eyes, Yuri quickly unsheathing her sword, both her and Rio swinging their swords while Shun moved this and that way, dodging their attacks with ease. She widened her eyes when one of them managed to get her right cheek, her eyes snapping to the side, seeing blood on Yuri's sword.
Excitement shined in her eyes, stabbing her sword in the ground, making both her friends blink, and punched their abdomen, making them widen their eyes and cough violently, saliva flying out of their mouths. Rio grunted and narrowed her eyes, quickly grabbing Shun's arm before she flew away and threw her into the air. The black haired woman smirked and flipped in the air, pointing her hand at her friends, making them widen their eyes.
"Hado-"
She narrowed her eyes when Yuri appeared behind her, kicking her back and sending her to the ground. Shun twisted her body and landed on the ground, a large grin on her face. Rio and Yuri jumped towards her from two sides, making her chuckle darkly, seeing them smirk and swing their swords. Shun put her hands on the ground, kicking her legs out, hitting Rio's stomach, sending her flying into a wall, and jumping in the air to kick the side of Yuri's head, sending her crashing into a tree.
Shun started laughing, a smirk on her face.
"Don't tell me that's the best you both can do?"
She widened her eyes, blood spurting from both her shoulders, her eyes snapping to her left shoulder. She looked behind her, seeing Yuri standing a little far off with her back facing her. Her eyes looked forward, seeing Rio standing with her back also facing her. She smirked. Rio and Yuri turned, jumping towards their friend, swinging their swords, seeing Shun jump to the side. They were about to follow her before widening their eyes, seeing Shun grab her sword.
Shun grinned widely and pointed her sword at them, a lazy look in her eyes.
"Imagine me as those bastards that pissed you off." Shun said, seeing both women blink. "Think about those words they said to you. Think about the cold look in their eyes while they said it. Think about to anger and sadness that swelled inside of you. Concentrate on the anger and let it out!"
Both Rio and Yuri blinked several times, soon narrowing their eyes dangerously, remembering those hurtful words exactly and how their Captains looked while they said it. Simultaneously, they visioned Shun as Byakuya and Hitsugaya, tightening their grips on their swords, seeing those cold looks that were in their eyes. Shun smirked when she saw both of them bend their knees and glare at her.
They ran towards her and jumped in the air, their eyes narrowed and their orbs small with their anger. Shun narrowed her eyes and smirked, holding up her sword, blocking both attacks. She winced. Shit. They were more powerful when they were pissed.

Ichigo was doing paperwork, his elbow propped on the desk and resting his cheek on his palm, staring at the forms with a lazy expression on his face. Hisana was playing with a stuffed rabbit with a bright smile while Isshin drew a picture. Just as he was about to sign his name, widening his eyes slightly, feeling pressure on his shoulders, recognizing those reiatsu.
He looked up, turning his head in the direction of the eleventh division.
That was Shun, Rio, and Yuri. Was Shun training them? No... Ichigo narrowed his eyes. Something felt different. He stood up, making his way towards the door.
"Dad."
He paused and turned his head, seeing both Isshin and Hisana staring at him. He chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck, seeing a blank look on Isshin's face.
"Oops."
He walked over and picked Hisana up, nodding towards Isshin, seeing him nod and stand up. They made their way down the hall, the two year old baby looking up and staring at her father questioningly. Once they were outside, Ichigo used shunpo, glancing back to see that Isshin was keeping up.
He was only five yet he was able to keep up.
Just amazing.
After five minutes they made it, Ichigo widening his eyes when he saw the condition Shun was in. Blood was dripping down the side of her head, one of her sleeves were ripped off, one of her arm bands were gone, and she was panting heavily. He turned his head, his eyes growing a little wider, seeing that both Rio and Yuri looked almost in the same condition.
What was going on?
Their training sessions were never like this.
"What's going on?" Isshin asked, a blank look in his eyes, looking bored. "They look like crap."
"Isshin!" Ichigo snapped, glaring at the little boy. "Rukia will kill me if you use that word again!"
He snapped his attention to the fight when he saw both Rio and Yuri jump towards Shun, their swords held tightly in their hands, seeing the black haired woman smirk and raise her sword. Hisana started cooing, reaching out to the woman.
"Aunt Shu!"
Shun blinked and turned her head, looking in their direction, seeing the baby smiling brightly. The black haired woman widened her eyes slowly, staring at the baby with a curious expression.
"Stop!" Shun yelled, resting her sword on her shoulder, turning her head, seeing both her friends blink and stop. "I think that's enough letting your anger out today." She said, rolling her eyes.
"But-"
Shun nodded her head to the side, making Rio and Yuri direct their attention to where she nodded, only to widen their eyes when they saw Ichigo walking towards them with a scowl, Isshin and Hisana standing by the wall, watching curiously. Both women jumped and hid behind their taller friend, their eyes wide with nervousness.
"What's going on here?" Ichigo asked, glaring at all three women.
"Ah, they wanted to let out their anger." Shun said, pointing behind her with a bored look on her face.
"Let out their anger...? And that means wrecking the eleventh division courtyard?" Ichigo asked, glaring at the woman. "What if Kenpachi gets mad at you? Then you're going to be mad and then-"
"Don't. You. Ever. Mention him. In front of me... again." Shun growled, a very dark, very angry look in her eyes.
"What?" Ichigo asked, his eyes wide with obvious fear and confusion. "Why?"
"'Cause Masuyo an' the bastard had a little fight before."
Ichigo and the others blinked, turning their heads, Shun instantly frowning when she saw both Grimmjow and Nnoitra standing a couple meters from them, both grinning widely. Shun growled and glared at them, turning her head to stare at the Captain with a glare.
"A fight?" Ichigo asked, his eyebrow raised. "What fight? Why are you mad?"
"Don't you fuckin' hear rumors?" Nnoitra asked, raising an eyebrow with a smirk. "Ya see, Masuyo here, was told off by the bastard of a Cap'n. Zaraki started tellin' her he hated her this, he hated her that. Man, when he was done, I was sure she woulda killed him on the spot."
Ichigo frowned in confusion, turning his head to stare at the woman. Shun frowned and narrowed her eyes.
"I wasn't the only one told off." Shun said, pointing back towards her two friends. "Their Captains also told them what they hated about them. And man, were they some serious stuff."
Ichigo narrowed his eyes, making everyone in the courtyard freeze, including the ex-Espada. He motioned all three women to follow him, making them blink and glance at each other before looking back at him.
"Come with me." Ichigo ordered, turning around, heading for his two kids. "I'm going to call the fourth division for you three."
All three women shivered and glanced at each other with scared looks, making Grimmjow and Nnoitra grin with amusement written all over their faces.
-:-
"WHAT?" Ichigo yelled, staring at the three women in shock. "Y-You mean Byakuya actually said- and Kenpachi- and Toshiro... w-why would they... wha... why would-"
"Calm down, Strawberry." Shun said, rolling her eyes, sitting in a chair with the baby girl in her arms.
When Hisana giggled and squealed, Rio and Yuri turned their heads, smiling widely when they glanced at their friend, seeing her frown and glare at them. Ichigo breathed out, shaking his head and putting a hand to his forehead, his eyes wide.
"But... why would they tell you this?" Ichigo asked, sitting up and staring at the woman curiously.
"I don't know." Rio said, closing her eyes and shaking her head.
"It just doesn't make any sense. I mean... they're crazy about you three." Ichigo said, looking up, seeing sad looks on the... nicer women and a glare on the angry one.
"...Don't say that again, Strawberry." Shun said, growling quietly. "Just the thought of that bas- Captain makes me want to go on a rampage and go and fu- murder him."
Everyone sent the woman questioning looks, wondering why she didn't finish "bastard", and "fucking". Shun frowned and gave them looks before glancing at the baby in her arms. They all nodded in understanding, Ichigo staring at his desk with concentration. It didn't make sense why their Captains would suddenly say... those things out of nowhere.
And when all three women would fight, the Captains would be there to watch. But when he got there, they were nowhere in sight.
What was going on?
"Ah, you little-"
He blinked and looked up, raising an eyebrow when Hisana had a handful of Shun's hair, the woman trying to get her to let go while both Rio and Yuri gave sad smiles. They had told him they wanted Shun to instruct them how to let out their anger, seeing as they were always happy, except Rio had one of those glares every once in a while.
"...I don't think I can ever imagine Shun as a mother." Rio said, her smile widening just a little.
"Shut up! Let go!" Shun growled, trying to get the baby to let go of her hair.
"That's her way of telling you she likes you." Isshin said, drawing a picture, not even looking up.
"Oh, jee. Thanks!" Shun snapped, turning her head to glare at the boy. "I'd hate to think what she would do if she hated me! Let go! Dammit! C'mon! Please!"
That's when Hisana let go, making Shun sigh out of relief. Rio and Yuri furrowed their eyebrows, lowering their heads, looking at the floor with sadness written all over their faces. They had let out their anger, but... why were they still sad? Wait. The only one they knew that had any experience in love was...
"Ichigo, can you tell us what to do?" Rio asked, looking up and staring at the orange haired man with a questioning look.
"What-"
"You are in love with Rukia Kuchiki, correct?"
Ichigo's face turned red and stuttered. "Y-Y-Yeah?"
"Have you two been in fights?"
"Like you have no idea." Ichigo said, rolling his eyes with a sigh.
"How did you deal with it?" Rio asked, leaning forward with her brown haired friend.
Shun glanced at them and rolled her eyes, scoffing. Jeez. Love sick puppies. She must have said it out loud, because both Rio and Yuri turned their heads and glared at her.
"Well, since we fight almost all the time, we would make up and start being-"
"Love dovey." Isshin said, still not looking up.
"Isshin!"
"Oh." Yuri said, both her and her friend lowering their heads with sad looks on their faces.
"Well, Rio, Yuri... we never really told each other what we hated about the other." Ichigo said, giving both women pitied looks. "So, I can't really tell you how you can deal with this."
"...You'll figure it out eventually."
Everyone blinked and turned their heads, staring at Shun, seeing her holding Hisana up with a bored look. They stared at her with incredulous looks, their eyes wide. Was she... trying to cheer them up? Shun glanced at them and frowned.
"What? I'm just trying to make you guys stop acting so depressed." Shun said, shrugging. "We'll all eventually figure this out."
"Uh, Shun..."
"What?"
"I wouldn't do that." Ichigo said, shaking his head, glancing at Hisana.
"Why?"
"Because she gets sick when someone lifts her up high."
"So?"
"Well, she-"
Hisana threw up, making everyone widen their eyes and stand up, all glancing at Shun, seeing her eyes wide, staring at the ceiling, still holding Hisana in the air. Everyone made faces, seeing puke on... Shun's face. They stared at her quietly, ignoring Isshin's laughter, seeing a twitch in Shun's eye.
"AAAAAAAAGH!"
