A/N: Thanks to aznpinayshinigami for the name of Kise's Zanpaku-Tó

--------------------

" - Shine through the snow, KANGETSU!" A bright light flashed and everyone turned to look at what it was. Kise was standing, her hand clenched around a different looking Zanpaku-Tó. The blade, which wasn't as big as before and curved a bit at the top, was a mixed color of white and yellow, the white showing more though. The hilt, white, had a decoration of criss-crossing black lines. Instead of a cross guard, there was a white/yellowish circle in the middle of it, and a sort of cover curving from the top of the circle around the blade. Underneath that were two chains wrapped around the hilt. Dangling off the end of one of it was a white/yellowish circle that resembled the moon a lot, and on the other one was a pure white snowflake. And for a final touch, a pure white ribbon was wrapped around the top of the hilt and tied into a bow, which hung a bit lopsided on the other side of where the chains dangled off.

"What the hell is that?" the Vastoorode exclaimed.

"Isn't it obvious? It's my Zanpaku-Tó, Kangetsu. Isn't she so pretty?" Kise smirked.

The Vastoorode just glared at her. "Oh wow. Your sword changed into a pretty one. Big whoop. Let's fight."

"Whatever you say." Kise Shunpo-ed towards him and raised her Zanpaku-Tó, digging it into it's left arm. She pulled it out, letting blood flow out. A few icicles were also left on the wound.

"What the HELL IS THAT?" the Vastoorode screamed. The few icicles that had been left on its arm were slowly creeping up through its body. It used its other hand to try and brush if off, but that just got more of the icicles onto it.

Kise smirked again. "You like it? That's one of Kangetsu's abilities. Leaving a few particles on you, then going throughout your whole body, turning you into a huge ice statue. And trying to get it off doesn't help either. Just to let you know."

The Vastoorode laughed this time. Flames starting curling up his arms, melting off the ice. "Ha! How will you beat me now? Your ice won't work against me as long as I can use fire!"

Kise just gave a small frown this time. And then, she winced. The pain was coming back. She had to finish this quickly. She wouldn't be able to fight anymore soon.

"You didn't hear me the first time? I said that it was one of her abilities. Pay more attention." She leapt towards it again, and swung Kangetsu. This time however, she didn't make contact with it. Instead, a few shadow-like things came out of the tip of her blade. First came a full circle, then a quarter of a circle, a half, and finally, three quarters of it. The four shapes surrounded the Vastoorode. It stood, rooted to the spot, looking at the shapes.

"What the hell is this?"

"You'll see." Kise ran forward to the full circle. She slid Kangetsu through it and it launched at the Vastoorode, injuring it. The circle wandered to another one, Kangetsu sliding into that one, and then going back to its original spot. This process repeated itself, going faster and faster every time, until it was nothing but a blur.

When the circles vanished and Kangetsu was back in Kise's hands, the Vastoorode was on the ground, bleeding horribly with multiple wounds all over it. "Yeah. That was fun." Kise raised Kangetsu and stuck it through the Vastoorode's head, cracking the mask there, causing it to dissolve.

"Haha. I did..." Kise didn't finish her sentence and suddenly felt herself collapse. But, she didn't seem to hit the ground. She felt arms catching her before she hit the ground. She tried opening her eyes a bit, to see who it was that had caught her. It was a boy. He was in a Shihakusho too...his eyes were a nice warm brown...And that was all Kise had seen before she completely passed out.

--

There was a nice warm light surrounding her...It was so peaceful, but she heard someone calling out to her. "Kise! Yo, Kise, wake up!" She forced her eyes to open and when they did, she saw Jaclyn, Jacqueline, Lee Ann, and Minhthu huddled over her, with a worried look on their faces. "You okay?" Jaclyn asked softly.

"Umm...yeah..." She sat up and looked around. There were people running around everywhere, and she could smell blood. And sitting right next to her was Orihime.

"Kise-chan, you're alright! Thank goodness!"

"Umm...where's my mom?"

"Rukia-san? She's...Unohana-taichou's with her right now," Orihime said softly.

Kise quickly got up and looked around for Rukia. All of a sudden she bumped into something, sending her flying, but that very same something managed to grab her hand before she completely flew away. It was the guy from before who had caught her.

"Oh sorry," he said lightly, glancing at her.

"Oh, it's you. Umm...thanks."

"Huh? For what?"

"Umm...catching me before." Kise blushed slightly at this.

"What? Oh. It's no problem. The least I can do since I missed out on everything. I'm Koruichi by the way. You're Kise, Ichigo's kid right?"

"Yeah. You look a lot like - "

"Yoruichi? Yeah. She's my sister."

"Oh. Yeah. You two look a lot alike..."

"Umm..yeah..." The two of them stood around a bit for awhile, a bit awkwardly (with Kise blushing slightly), until Koruichi spoke up. "You're looking for Rukia-san right?"

"Oh yeah. Do you know where I can find her?"

"Just go upstairs. The first room on the right."

"Okay. Thanks. Umm..I'll see you later then."

"Yeah. Ja."

--

Kise ran up the stairs and through the door to find her mom, her dad, and Unohana-taichou in the room. "Mom! Is she okay?" She quickly sat down, looking from Unohana to Ichigo, to get an answer, but there was none. Unohana had her hands over Rukia's wound, and was glowing with a warm orange light.

A few minutes passed...

Ten minutes passed...

Then half an hour was gone...

When almost an hour had passed since she came in, Rukia's eyes started fluttering and her wound was almost completely closed up. A few more minutes after that, her wound was completely gone and her eyes opened completely, and she sat up.

"Rukia!" Ichigo threw his arms around her, holding her head and pressing it into her shoulder. "Don't do that again!" Kise saw Rukia smirk and she wrapped her arms around Ichigo too.

"Heh, with your dull sense, how could I not?" Unohana stood up to leave, and Kise was about to too, before Rukia stopped her.

"Are you alright, Kise? Your Shihakusho's soaked."

"It wasn't anything big."

"I heard...you released your Zanpaku-to?" Ichigo asked.

"Yeah I did! It's Kangetsu."

"Aa...Wintry Moon?"

"Yeah. It's an ice, snow, and moon type Zanpaku-Tó!"

"Ice and moon? Heh...What do you say to that? Eh, Ichigo?" Rukia asked, smirking.

"My Zanpaku-Tó's a moon type and yours is an ice type, and our little girl has a mix of that...that's great!"

"Hey! I'm not a little girl!" Kise yelled. The three of them chucked. "So...what do we do now?"

"Go on with our lives," Rukia answered simply. "And we'll deal with whatever Aizen has to throw at us..."
