I really do not know why this took me so long to write this...

"Wonderful," Danny whispered to himself. "Just great. Everywhere I go, trouble follows," he continued to himself as he sat down behind a tree, catching his breath after flying for about a day. Four times. Four times he had been lost. Actually, make that five if you count now as being lost. He was in a forest. Far away from the prison-like place he was sent to. Could they find him? Is he actually safe? Hopefully. Maybe Ichigo will come to save him soon – or not. They may have hung out for a day, though this might have been the boy's objective: To make him drop his guard and capture him.

He looked up. Panting as he was out of breath. Smalls rays of light shone through the gaps in between the leaves and trees from above. He was deep in a land of greenery; surrounded by a vast amount of trees. He hoped this was a perfect place to hide. However, as the thought passed through the halfa's head, he heard something. It sounded like a rustling in the bushes a short distance in front of him. Holding his breath, his heart pounding at an immense speed. He was going to be caught for sure! Someone was there and he wasn't going to live for long. He could feel it.

He stood up slowly, creeping over towards the bush, the rustling getting stronger and louder. Danny pushed his arm forwards, his creeping getting more and more sluggish. 'This will not end well...' He thought to himself, a luminous green pooling in his hand as it took the shape of a ball. More like an ecto-blast which had not yet been fired. He wasn't ready. He didn't want to do this. Even though Danny had no choice. "Come out!" He yelled as he yanked open the bush, creating a parting in between the bushes!

However, what had happened he did not expect. A squirrel no less came rushing out, dashing away from him with fear. Then the rustling stopped. A tiny, redish-brown creature popping out after being disturbed stopped in front of the perplexed teenager. He stood there, blinking as he watched the animal nibble on an acorn. He finally let out his breath. Snapping around, his breath was caught as he heard more rustling in the aforementioned bush. Suddenly a small child came out as she yelled, "Mr. Fluffy come back!"

Danny fell backwards as this was yet another surprise. However, as she flew out of the bush, her grinning face filling the world with happiness, the squirrel ran off. Jetting away as it wouldn't dare to face the horror of Yachiru Kusajishi. Her short, bright, pink hair seemed to enlighten everything around her. It was stunning, really. "Hello..?" Danny asked, swallowing his courage. It was just a little girl. Even though she was wearing the plain black, standard Soul Reaper shihakusho. It was... peculiar. Wasn't she too young to fight? Maybe she stole it or something...

The girl turned around. Her dark pink eyes were filled with wonder. She stared up at the man, laughing as she spoke,"hi!" Waving her short arm exaggeratedly.

"Um... hi?" Danny said, perplexed. "Who are you?" He asked, pointing a finger to her. He felt the victorious superiority flowing inside of him.

"Yachiru!" She yelled in excitement. "I'm the Lieutenant of squad eleven," she continued with her tone unwavering.

The ghost boy stood in confusion. Once more, he was confused. Could this month get any more strange? He thought he lived in the most strangest place. "I'm Danny, do you know how to get out of here?" He knelt down to her height, though he was still taller.

She nodded. The girl's eyes focussed on the boy. The little Lieutenant laughed and pointed back towards the Seireitei. If he looked closely, focussing his eyes towards the distance, he could still see the exponentially large area still there. Despite the fact that he was a one day flight away from there – with breaks, he admitted.

A soft, small sigh could be heard from the teenager. He wasn't happy. He wasn't joyful. "Yachiru?" Came a gruff voice from the short distance. A voice which was intimidating, yet familiar. The aforementioned voice was terrifying. Then it all came back to the halfa...

FLASHBACK

"Who's this, punk?" A large, bulky man asked as he towered over the ghost boy and the two Lieutenants.

Snapping around, the Lieutenants bowed their heads for a moment before saying, "he's the source of the mysterious pressure. We had been sent to retrieve him, Captain."

"Heh, I think you should have killed him," the bulky man sneered and chuckled murderously. He had a devastating scar which trailed down one eye, with an eye-patch on the other. Black, spiky hair stuck up on its ends like knives as his grin was psychotic. His overall appearance and tone sent shivers down the spine of the halfa. "Whatever, I'm gonna' go cut something up. If you see Ichigo next, tell him I'm waitin' for him."

"We will, sir," they said as they continued down towards the barracks of squad one. "That was Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, the Captain of squad eleven. Don't get on his bad side or he will – without hesitation – cut you up."

"I'll try not to..."

END OF FLASHBACK

Caught in the moment of shock, he froze. Frozen like an ice cube. Although Danny snapped out of it once he heard the angelic voice of the younger child. "Kenny!" She yelled as she ran over towards the bulky Captain. The Captain which could destroy countries with his spiritual pressure! One look at the guy and you would die for sure... He's not one to let others look at him without sending a devastating nightmare to them.

"It's you..." The menacing man grunted as he saw the boy. "You're the punk who escaped, aren't you? Well, now that I've found you, I may as well kill you!" He grinned psychotically, whipping out his sword as a burst of spirit energy exploded around him. Danny flying backwards from the deadly force as he hit the sturdy ground underneath him with a loud SMACK.

His rough-edged sword shone from the rays of the light which peeked through the small holes from the leaves and branches above. The silver weapon held up high along with a disturbing smile petrified the boy. He held his sword up high before forcing it down with a mighty thrust, the blue eyes of the boy underneath was wide with fear as he watched the metallic object quickly come down with force...!
