Prepare yourself, this is not a very good chapter. Thanks to the reviewers and please Enjoy.

Crystal-Amethyst, no she doesn't have a brother. And the thing dragging her down was unknown, it isn't a new character. :) good guess anyway.

We stopped outside the small sweet shop. Matori seemed almost unsure about what this place looked like, hesitating to enter.
"It's okay, Matori. They shop may look run down and old, like the owner, but it's very trustworthy. Don't tell him I said that by the way." She slightly giggled and skipped next to me.
"If Lily-sama trusts him, then so do I." I smiled to her and led her in.

"April-san. It's been a while, how are you?"
"Hello, Tessi-san, it has been a while, hasn't it? I'm fine thankyou, and you?"
"I'm fine too, thankyou. Do you wish to speak with Urahara-san?"
"Please." He placed the boxes down and led us into the green room with the little low table.
"April-chan!" Kisuke was getting ready to pounce me, but I stopped him in his tracks.
"Don't pounce me, I don't want anything to hurt the little-len." I rubbed my stomach carringly. He took out his fan and started using it against his face.
"Congrats." His trademark smile warmed my heart as I sat next to him. I turned to Matori, who was hiding by the door frame.
"Come in, Matori-chan, he doesn't bite." Kisuke's eyes wondered to the petite girl by the door as she slowly made her way next to me.
"Hi, Matori-san, I'm Urahara Kisuke." He smiled to her, tilting his hat upwards. She smiled waryly and poked me in the side. She whispered into my ear, making me laugh quite alot.
"What is it?" Questioned Kisuke.
"She said that you remind her of Shunsui-san." I laughed. Kisuke laughed as well but Matori coiled away.
"Anyway, April-chan, is there a reason you are here?" His serious face returned.
"It's about Matori's zanpactou." I beconed her over, "Maybe you should tell him." She sat on my lap and began telling Kisuke her zanpactous unusual traits. How she does not obey her master, and over takes her body.
"This isn't as unusual as you may think. Many shinigami's zanpactou go against their owner's will, it's quite natural. I'll give you a training program which can help her learn her place." He pulled out a small sheet of paper from his sleeves.
"Thank you, Urahara-san."

"Wait, Matori-chan! Why are you running?" I shouted from behind her. Still she refused to answer me. We ran for only a couple of minutes, straight after we left the doors of Kisuke's shop. Finally, she stopped in the middle of a forest.
"Look, Lily-sama." I looked into the sky, watching Ichigo fight five low-level shinigami as Uuryu and Orihime attacked a swarm of hollows. We quickly jumped into the action, killing off both hollows and shinigamis. None of them seemed to land a scratch on any of the teens as well as us. 'Why did Matori-chan want to come here when they were clearly doing fine?' The small battle finished relitively quickly. I lowered down to her as she wiped her sword on the grass. Already I could sence something wrong with her. Was she crying?
"Matori-chan?" I walked up to her, placing a hand on her shoulder. It wasn't tears, it was laughs.
"You're wide open." I felt my chest quickly slice open as I backed away from the venimous girl. Her laughs grew colder and louder as she stepped into a fighting stance. I drew fenikkusu out, but I was blocked off as Orihime held me in her orange shield. Uuryu and Ichigo headed towards her, bow and sword weilded.
"No, stay back! You don't understand her power!" They couldn't hear me, "Orihime, let me out, I need to warn them!" I screamed. Instently, Uuryu was sent flying into Orihime, sending both of them back, but landing safely. I escaped her shield and acompanied Ichigo.
"Ichigo, you need to go now!" I screeched to him. My voice sounded distant, what was happening? Still he attacked.
"Ichigo, listen to me! Her trident can cut off a body part as soon as it pierces the skin, if she gets your back, you're dead!" Ichigo nodded but smirked before placing his hand against his face. A hollow mask formed over his face, creating an amazing amount of resiteu that even I could sence off the charts. 'Baka!' I flew into the fight. Matori easily caught up with his speed, planting her zanpactou into his leg.
"Bureizu, Hyakutaiyono fenikkusu." My wings spred out far, blocking Orihime and Uuryu from rejoining the fight. I sung to a slipknot song, creating a insane amount of speed. However, even though my strength was at its best, the amount of resiteu I leaked causes me to weaken reletivly quickly. 'This has to finish quickly.' I lunged at my enemy, ready to take her down. Obviously effected by the heat, she placed her sword infront of her, awaiting the attack.
"Sash!" She screamed. Lightening struck through the middle tong, taking me by suprise. Insictivetly, My wings were placed infront of my body, consuming the attack. The bolt was sent flying back to her, this time covered in fire. She shunpo-ed out of the way, causing the trees behind her to set alight. Fire surrounded us, cutting off Ichigo. My wings grew further apart and beated silently as the fire from the trees joined to them, the heat became increasingly intense. I began to struggle, but I didn't back down.
"What have you done to Matori?" I venimous eyed girl stared at me cold. I knew this wasn't Matori. I shunpo-ed behind her, bringing my hilt into her back. 'This isn't Matori, so why can't I fight her?' She landed on her hand and sprung back onto her feet, smirking at her realisation.
"So you know I'm her zanpactou, wondering why you can't attack me? I'm still in Matori's body. Killing me will end up killing her!" My eyes grew in disbelief. That's why I couldn't, I don't want to kill Matori. How can I kill this beast without killing her too? Suddenly, my right arm fell limp by my side as I noticed three slashes against it. I rammed fenikkusu to her, cutting her with the healing side. 'At least if Matori returns, she would be healed.' My thoughts were cut short as a burning pain reached my stomach. I coughed up blood as I forced my head to look. The green eyes peered up to me, her zanpactou pierced completely through my stomach. I kicked her chest, sending her back. She instently threw herself to me again, this time aiming for my heart. I took position, placing my 'x' shaped sword flat side facing her. One of the tongs got caught into the small gap, letting me pry it out of her grip. I kicked her back again, this time further away.
"I'm sorry, Matori." I whispered as I clenched the trident by my wings. Slowly, the metal began to melt, causing a huge scream coming from the heartless girl. She collapsed as the sword washed away into oblivion.
"Ichitoraidento-me is no more." I sighed. I closed my wings and placed fenikkusu away. I closed the gap between me and the unconsious girl, only for a surge of pain jolt my body. A scream filled my lungs as I fell to the ash covered ground.

My eyes winched open delicatly. As I took in my surroundings, I realised I was in a human world hospital. The darkness of the night sky drew a dangerous aura around the room. I felt my hand being held up in the dark abyss by someone, my hand against their forehead. My fingers relaxed against my palm as small trickles of a salty liquid decended down my forearm to the matress my elbow rested upon. Someone's cry echoed silently around the room. I turned my head to try and make out the dark figure in the night. I squinted but still I saw none. Slowly I moved my hand from the gentle grip and cupped the dark figure's face, wiping away the tears. He looked into my eyes. Then I realised that no one could mistake those stormy grey eyes.

Byakuya.

He placed his hand onto mine and cried further. Closing them and gripping my hand tight.
"Please, don't cry." I whispered through the oxygen mask. Again, he looked into my eyes, but wished his gaze away and flung his arms around my neck, resting his head against my chest.

'Please, stop your crying,
It'll be alright.
Just take my hand, hold it tight.
I will protect you from all around you,
I will be here, don't you cry.'

I kissed the top of his forehead, hugging him in return. Gently, I stroked his back. Then I saw it. A dreadful sight that I could never imagion. Blood covered the sheets of my bed. MY blood covered the sheets of my bed. From my waist to my knees the horrifying liquid oozed around. My eyes bulged out of their sockets, my breathing became labored. Byakuya looked up at me, then placed his head on my shoulder. After six weeks of pain, agony, sickness, my belly was back to it's flattened state. No longer did a bump decend upon it, but pure nothingness. Everything disappeared from that room as the blood became luminous. My own tears feasted down my face.
"NO!"

:( She lost the baby. There is a reason I did this, I'm sorry for anyone who finds this distressing or annoyed that I did this but, trust me, it's part of the story. Please review and I'll see you tomorrow.
