"Out."

Rio and Yuri blinked, standing in the courtyard of the eleventh division compound, staring at their angry friend curiously. Shun frowned deeply and narrowed her eyes, glaring at her two friends, seeing them furrow their eyebrows in confusion, staring at her with a look that said they had no idea what she was talking about.

"What?" Rio asked, staring at her friend with a questioning gaze.

"I want you two out." Shun said, arms folded over her chest and frowning deeply.

"Wha-"

"Out. Gone. Nowhere to be seen. You get what I'm saying? I'm saying... I NEED PEACE AND QUIET!" Shun yelled, glaring at both her friends, her eyes wide with rage. "I don't want to wake up during the night, listening to you two sobbing over two bastard Captains and making me stay up all damn night! I want me and Yukiko to sleep!" She yelled, shaking both of her friends.

"You want us to leave?" Yuri asked, her eyes growing large and filling with tears. "You mean... back to the tenth division? Where my Captain is?"

"YES!"

"B-B-But Shun!" Rio yelled in protest, staring at her friend in horror. "You have to let us stay in your room!"

"NO! Rather than you two stay here and hide like a couple of weaklings, just go to your damn divisions and confront those bastards and leave me alone! If you don't want to confront those Captains of yours, just avoid them!" Shun yelled, shaking in anger. "Now go! I'm getting tired of you two being everywhere here! It's not exactly safe here." She said, looking around the courtyard and staring at some of the subordinates.

And their weird hair.

"But-"

"Look, Rio, Yuri... you either leave... or I'm going to chase you out of here." Shun said, her eyes narrowed and her mouth in a deep frown.

Both Rio and Yuri stayed where they were, staring at her like she was bluffing. Shun stared at them with a blank look. They stared back at her with a look that said they didn't believe that she would chase them if they didn't leave.

Until she unsheathed her sword.

They turned and started running, crying comically and cursing their friend, making Shun smirk widely.

-:-

Both Rio and Yuri walked down the street, their eyebrows furrowed, worry written all over their faces. Going to their divisions, after two weeks. Not good. It was not good. That meant they might run into their Captains. The same Captains that said such cruel stuff to them. Tears ran down their faces comically. What were they going to do?

"I don't want to go back." Yuri said, staring at the ground with horror in her eyes.

"Me neither. It's too much." Rio said, closing her eyes and lowering her head with a sigh.

"Can I sleep at your division?" Yuri asked, turning her head and giving her friend a puppy eyed look, pouting her lips.

"I'm sorry, Yuri, but that would mean meeting my Captain." Rio said, glaring straight ahead. "And he said he didn't like my friends."

"...Bastard!"

"Yuri!" Rio exclaimed, staring at her friend in shock.

The brown haired woman smiled brightly, making Rio stare and close her with a sigh, shaking her head with a smile. It was rare that Yuri would curse. And when she did, it would shock a lot of people. Both women felt anxious the closer they got to their divisions, especially Yuri, seeing as her division was right next to the eleventh. Anxiety was making her sweat and swallow the saliva that filled her mouth.

It was too much!

She closed her eyes and started crying her eyes out, making Rio jump and try to console her. But after she was done crying, they were in front of the tenth division, her eyes wide and nervousness was seen all over her face. Rio patted her shoulder with a reassuring smile, making Yuri smile back nervously.

Maybe she wouldn't see her Captain.

She nodded.

Yeah, she wouldn't see him. And after those hurtful words, he wouldn't want to see her. She nodded, walking confidently into the tenth division courtyard, Rio staring after her with a smile. She stopped, making the green eyed woman blink.

"I can't do it!" Yuri yelled, flailing her arms and crying comically.

Rio sighed and sweat dropped.

"I wanna go and stay with Kitty!" Yuri yelled, wiping her eyes while crying.

"Yuri, when Shun says she wants us to leave... she means it." Rio said, giving her friend a pale look.

Yuri's lips trembled, staring at her friend with a pleading look. She took a deep breath and swallowed the saliva that filled her mouth, slowly nodding and turning around. Rio smiled sadly after her before walking down the street, heading for her division, and maybe make it to her room before she runs into anybody.

Yuri quickly walked through the courtyard, her eyes wide and alert, keeping an eye out for people, walking this and that way. She just hoped she didn't walk into anyone that would keep her and maybe make her run into the Captain. She grabbed her hair and ran down the courtyard, slipping off her sandals and running into the building, running down the halls and heading for the barracks. She couldn't run into her Captain. She couldn't!

"Yuri?"

She froze and turned her head, seeing the lieutenant standing next to her, holding a pile of paperwork. Yuri stared at her and gulped. Uh, oh. She stood straight and bowed down to the lieutenant.

"H-Hello, lieutenant Matsumoto." Yuri said, her eyes wide with horror.

"Yuri... where have you been?" Matsumoto asked, tilting her head to the side. "I haven't seen you in a while."

"Oh, I... I was with my friend." Yuri said, smiling widely.

"Huh... well, the Captain's been angry more than usual, so I suggest you stay out of his way." Matsumoto said, smiling brightly at the smaller woman. "Sorry, Yuri-chan, but I have to deliver this paperwork. Bye!"

"Uh... Bye." Yuri said, waving to the lieutenant, her eyes wide with shock.

She didn't hear?

But everyone heard... right? She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. Maybe not. She had no time to think about it. She had to make it to her room. She ran down the hallway, desperately trying to make it to her room. When she ran around the corner, she skidded, running full blast down the hallway. Just when she was about to make it to the barracks, a door opened, making her eyes widen abnormally large.

The office.

Just when it opened, she ducked around the corner, sensing the Captain's reiatsu come out. Oh, no! That was him! She closed her eyes tightly, hiding in the shadows. She opened her eyes and frowned, standing up. No! She had to ignore him!

She walked around the corner, gaining the Captain of the tenth division's attention, Toshiro Hitsugaya.

Hitsugaya blinked and widened his eyes slightly. Yuri. He sighed, holding a pile of paperwork. He took a deep breath, looking up, about to talk to her, only to pause and widen his eyes when she walked by. He hasn't seen her in a while and she walked right by him, like he wasn't even there. He narrowed his eyes and turned.

"Yuri."

"I'm sorry, Captain Hitsugaya, but you must refer me as Hikari." Yuri said, her back facing the Captain, her voice cold.

"...Hikari, listen... I know what I said was mean,"

"I believe you mean cruel." Yuri said, her eyes narrowed and her mouth in a firm line, glaring straight ahead.

"Yes... cruel... Yuri, I only replied to what you had said to me the night before I had told you how I-"

"Replied?" Yuri asked, turning around and staring at her Captain with a confused look. "What do you...? I must go, Captain Hitsugaya. Please excuse me." She said, turning and walking down the hallway.

"Yuri!" Hitsugaya yelled, about to order the woman to go back until she disappeared, having used shunpo.

Yuri ran into her room and shut the door closed, her eyes wide and her eyebrows furrowed. Replied? The night before the incident? What was he talking about? She stared at her floor in confusion. What was he talking about?

She shook her head.

It didn't make any sense.

She looked up and sighed, sliding down the door and leaning against it, pulling her legs close to her chest and resting her forehead on her knees, her eyebrows furrowed and sadness in her eyes. She didn't want to be there. She blinked and looked up, furrowing her eyebrows. She sensed something... something familiar. What was that?

-:-

Rio stood just before the courtyard to the sixth division, her eyebrows furrowed and her head lowered. Why didn't Shun just let her and Yuri stay in her room for just a little longer? She was so mean! Shun just wasn't being mean... there was another reason she wanted them to leave. As she said before, they either confront their Captains or ignore them. And Rio was going to do the latter.

No way was she going to see that stuck up Captain of hers.

She pouted her lips and narrowed her eyes, glaring straight ahead. How dare he. Her expression darkened, a dark aura hanging over her head, making people stay clear away from her. She clenched her hands and took a deep breath, closing her eyes and trying to stay calm. No such luck. Her heart was racing and she was sweating profusely.

Why couldn't Shun just let her stay at the eleventh division?

She made a fist and held it up, her eyes shining with determination. She started walking forward, only to stop and stand against the wall, outside the courtyard, sighing as she closed her eyes. She couldn't do it. She heard a snicker, making her frown and look up.

"Confused as ta what ta do, eh, Princess?"

"Kaen Hebi," Rio muttered darkly, her head lowered, her hair shadowing over her eyes. "I thought I... told you... NOT TO COME OUT OF MY INNER WORLD!" She yelled, turning around and glaring at the person that stood against the wall.

The snake like man grinned widely, showing his fangs, narrowing his eyes until they were almost slitted. Meet Rio's zanpakuto. And if some of you haven't noticed... he's a pervert. His red orbs stared at the woman, not looking peeved or even scared from her outburst.

"C'mon, Princess, ya know I don't easily get scared."

"Last week you started crying when-"

"That's different!" Kaen snapped, glaring at the smaller woman. "But other than all this crazy crap, since 'm yer zanpakuto, I know when yer scare-"

"I'm not scared." Rio said firmly, narrowing her eyes.

"Ya can't lie ta me, Princess." Kaen said, smirking widely. His features turned serious, narrowing his eyes, making the woman blink. "Rio,"

The woman blinked, widening her eyes. He used her name. He must be serious.

"What Byakuya Kuchiki said hurt you, dearly, but you are only being cowardly for not confronting him." Kaen said, not using his accent. "Rio, I'm not only saying this as your zanpakuto, but as someone who knows you the best. Please confront Byakuya Kuchiki. Not confronting him is only making you seem like a coward."

Rio stared at her zanpakuto, her eyes wide slightly, seeing him start to disappear. She sighed and closed her eyes, walking into the courtyard of the sixth division, her eyes closed tightly. Why was it that when her zanpakuto would be so serious sometimes, that she would listen to him? She opened her eyes and walked straight ahead, deciding to head for her room.

If she ran into Byakuya, she would simply brush him aside, then run.

She nodded with a small smile on her face, her heart pounding hard against her rib cage. If she saw Byakuya, the man that said he hated how she looked, she would...

KILL HIM!

Rio narrowed her eyes dangerously, walking into the sixth division building, her hands clenched tightly at her sides. Her mouth went down a few inches, her eyebrow twitching, her knuckles cracking from how hard she was clenching them. Everyone was right. He was a bastard!

She pouted her lips, walking down the hallway, heading for her room in the barracks. A dark aura hovered over her head, keeping everyone away from her, all looking pale. When Rio wanted to look mean, she looked mean. Dark circles were under her eyes, a dark smile spreading across her face. Shun must have done something to her, because she was visualizing she tied Byakuya up and was about to beat him.

She chuckled, only to jump and scream when a hand clamped down on her shoulder. She turned, glaring at whoever scared her, only to widen her eyes and freeze when she saw the person she was day dreaming about.

Byakuya Kuchiki.

"Rio,"

"I'm sorry, Captain Kuchiki,"

The Captain blinked, staring at the woman curiously, seeing that her head was lowered with her hair covering her face.

"But... you have to call me Sachiko from now on." Rio said, looking up with a dark look on her face.

Byakuya stared at her blankly. Rio stared back at him with a cold look, shrugging off his hand and walking down the hallway. Byakuya narrowed his eyes and reached out, grabbing the woman's wrist.

"Rio, I-"

"I'm sorry, Captain Kuchiki, but I haven't been here in two weeks and I must clean my room." Rio said, pulling her wrist out of his grip. "Please call me when I have work to do." She said, walking down the hallway, not even giving him a second glance.

Byakuya stared after her, closing his eyes and breathing out of his nose. He turned and started walking down the hallway.

Rio walked down with a smile on her face, a deep sigh leaving her mouth. She was so nervous. But at least she told him off! But she felt bad, but he said he hated how she looked and that's what he got! She stopped and blinked, furrowing her eyebrows. What was that just now? She looked up and around the division.

-:-

Shun laid on top the roof of the eleventh division, staring at the sky with a blank look. Shit. That bastard punched her so hard it left her throwing up outside. She pitied anyone who had to clean that up. But... She raised a hand and rested it against her chest, narrowing her eyes. What was this pain in her chest? Why did her chest hurt?

She frowned with confusion, staring at the sky with a glare.

She narrowed her eyes and sat up, looking to the sides with a deep frown. Yukiko looked up and stared at her with a smile like look on her face. Shun stood up and looked around with a serious look on her face. Something was staring at her. Who was it? She looked around the area, her hands clenched by her sides.

Her eyes snapped forward when she something move, narrowing her eyes and looking forward. What the hell was that? It was a black dot floating in the air. She moved forward, trying to see what it was, squinting her eyes, trying to see what it was. It was so small. What was that? She took a step forward, only to widen her eyes when she fell forward.

She cursed and closed her eyes tightly, waiting for contact with the ground.

"What the-"

She heard a yelp when she hit the ground, opening her eyes with a blink and looking down. She widened her eyes when she saw who it was, seeing the person snap their eyes open and glare at her, his eyebrow twitching. She landed on someone.

"Masuyo! What the hell're ya doin'!" Grimmjow yelled, glaring at the woman.

"Jeagerjaques... thanks for cushioning my fall." Shun said, grinning widely.

"Shut up an' get off!" Grimmjow snapped, pushing the woman off and sitting up with a scowl on his face, standing up and dusting himself off. "What were ya doin'? Dancin' up there?"

"Wha...? No, I always dance when no one's arou..." Shun paused and froze, widening her eyes. "I-I mean I saw something in the distance and I tried to see what it was!" She yelled, a wide grin on her face, pointing in the direction where she saw the floating thing.

"...Ya dance when no one's around?" Grimmjow asked, a wide grin on his face.

"NO!"

Grimmjow's grin widened, making Shun start shaking in anger. She huffed, about to turn around when someone covered her eyes, making her frown and pull her eyebrows together. What the hell...?

"Guess who?"

"What are you doing, Jiruga?" Shun asked, frowning deeply.

"Ah, ya got it right!" Nnoitra said, removing his hands with a snicker. "Wanna fight?" He asked, grabbing his sword with an anticipating grin on his face.

"Nah... I'm... uh..."

"Depressed." Grimmjow said, seeing the other man nod, grins on both their faces.

"Shut up." Shun said, turning her head to glare at the man. "I may be pissed, but I'm not depressed."

"Liar." Nnoitra said, a wide grin on his face.

Shun frowned deeply and glared at both men, walking by them with her eyes closed and her eyebrows drawn together, her hands clenched tightly by her sides, her shoulders hunched up. Stupid idiots. Both men grinned after her, shrugging, like the answer was clear to them. Shun glared back at them, turning her head only to stop and widen her eyes slightly when she saw Kenpachi at the porch.

She continued to walk forward, making the Captain narrow his eyes, thinking she was going to start acting like herself, that is... until she made a right turn and continued to walk with a blank look on her face.

He frowned and glared after her.

Like hell she was talking to him after what he did to her. Her stomach still ached. She closed her eyes and sighed deeply, continuing to walk, a deep frown on her face. She cursed and kicked an invisible pebble on the ground. She hated people who always stared at her. And she was starting to hate a whole bunch of people in the courtyard. It was always like that since the Captain dumped her. She scoffed. They weren't even in a relationship to begin with.

She had to widen her eyes and jump when someone had the nerve... to slap her ass.

Kenpachi and several other men narrowed their eyes, all reaching for their swords. The man that was foolish enough smirked and stared at the woman, walking around her and staring at her. Shun curled her upper lip, her eyebrow twitching, glaring at the man.

"You... just made the most foolish mistake of your life." Shun said, reaching for her sword.

"Oh? Don't tell me you don't recognize me." He said, a wide smile spreading across his face. "But I forgot that you regularly forget people... Shun-san." He said, shrugging his shoulders and sighing with a smile still on his face.

Shun blinked and raised an eyebrow, holding her sword loosely. She stood straight and stared at the dark blue haired man curiously, frowning in confusion. She stared at his features. Dark long blue hair, tied up in a long ponytail, short messy bangs in the front, bright blue eyes, and the standard shinigami shihakusho.

"How do you know me?" Shun asked, narrowing her eyes.

"Ah, I knew you didn't recognize me! Considering you have a bad memory." He said, a wide cat like smile spreading across his face, covering his mouth with a giggle, his eyes narrowed until they were almost slitted.

Shun's frown deepened. She still didn't recognize this guy. The man pointed to himself with a wide smile on his face.

"Jiro Makoto." He said.

Shun blinked before widening her eyes slightly, making the man's smile widen, almost taking up most of his features. She pointed to the man and yelled, her eyes wide, making the man laugh while everyone looked on in confusion.

"J-J-Jiro! W-When did you get here?" Shun asked, her eyes wide with shock.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, their mouths hanging open. Who the hell was Jiro? Kenpachi frowned and narrowed his eyes. Jiro grinned widely and closed his eyes, his hands on his hips.
