Hey guys, time for a new chapter. I apologize in advance as it will be short X.x but that'll change as soon as I get back into the groove so bear with me for now, yea? Well, see you at the bottom *jumps to the end*

Saito POV

"Gah!" I cried out as the wooden sword I held in my hands was sent flying and I was knocked off my feet by a heavy kick to the chest. Sitting up slowly, I gasped for breath as I slightly glared at the captain of the Firearm Squadron, Agnes Chevalier de Milan with one eye while the other stayed shut in pain. She was slightly shorter than me, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her skin was lightly tanned but still paler than me and she was definitely stronger than me. She handed me the wooden sword that was knocked out of my hands earlier with a look of pity on her face.

'I hate it when she looks at me like that. I don't want to be pitied, I want to get stronger' I thought as I snatched the wooden sword out of her hands and stomped off to the starting point.

"You want to go again?" she asked incredulously, looking at my bruises. I glared at her with my good eye and rushed towards her in anger, the wooden sword trailing behind me. Her eyes narrowed as she barely brought the wooden sword up in time to block and parry. She spun and tried to slam the hilt of the sword into the back of my head as I ducked and rolled backwards with barely seconds to spare. I rolled to my feet and winced as pain like electric fire shot up my leg and distracted me just long enough for her to close the distance. A flurry of blows ensued and I slipped into a sort of musical pattern of stab, parry, thrust, duck, spin, horizontal slice, back-step, vertical swing. Finally, our swords met in an 'X' shape. I glared at her as I put my weight onto the sword, panting heavily. Returning the glare, she put her other hand where the tip of the 'sword' was to try and keep me from breaking her guard.

I growled in frustration and gave an enormous push, shattering her guard and leaving her wide open. A smirk fell onto my face as I hit her in the side then slammed the hilt of my blade in her face, stunning her further before dropping into a low leg sweep that sent her to the ground like a stone. She winced as she slowly tried to sit up and opened her eyes only to find the tip of my blade in her face.

"Yield?" I asked with a grin on my face.

"Fine" she spat with reluctance.

I reached out to help her up but unfortunately, it seemed my body had other plans for me as my legs gave out right at that moment and I dropped to the floor next to her.

"Looks like I overdid it" I chuckled as she sighed and fell back to the ground, lying down next to me. Our eyes met and we burst into laughter at our predicament.

Ichigo POV

"Oi, Baka-Inu!" an annoying voice reverberated my eardrums, waking me from my sleep.

I groaned and cracked open one eye to see Louise standing over me with a glare directed at me.

'Bitch, how the fuck do you wake up in a bad motherfucking mood?!' my hollow roared in complaint.

'Just shut it, before my headache gets any worse' I warned him as I sat up and yawned.

'Come on, King. Just once, let me rough up that bitch just one time and she'll never fuck with us again'

'Lemme think about it... Your answer's no.'

'Fine'

"Don't ignore me, Baka-Inu!" she yelled as she swung her wand towards me with electricity sparking at the tip. I looked at the wooden magic-channeling item blankly before closing my fist on the tip, snuffing it out instantly. She visibly blanched as I opened my hand and the wand gave off a few seconds of smoke from the tip before it returned to normal. I blinked a couple times then yawned once more and walked off to the bathroom, scratching the back of my head sleepily.

'If that was all it took to shut the bitch up, why the fuck didn't you do that earlier?!'

'Yeah, cause it just ran through my head to close my fist around a lightning covered wooden rod held by a crazy, abusive pink-haired girl' I responded sarcastically.

After that, my hollow shut up and I continued the rest of my shower in peace, except for the earlier mentioned abusive Master slamming her tiny fists on my door and screaming her head off at me about god knows what.

Like I said earlier sorry about the short as hell chapter, but I'll get back into the groove later X.x Anyways, Goodluck for y'all on Valentines if I don't get a chapter out by then xP I'll try and get a nice and long one out as a valentine's special, aight? Laterz *backflips off into oblivion*
