Chapter Thirteen

Shadow's

Two Figures from two different areas had been watching the fight one was a young boy clad in a black hooded robes with only his Shigami robes underneath. His large Scythe in hand as he watched Raika's fight she had been an awesome combatant something about her peeked his curiosity. He jumped away quickly to talk with someone. The other figure was Kenpachi Zaraki he smirked as he watched what the girl had done. Ichigo had told him awhile ago she had two zanpakto's but now that he saw it for himself he wanted to challenge her again. If only Ichigo hadn't interfered in his last fight.

"She's good Ken-chan!" he heard Yachiro his lieutenant say she was clinging to his shoulder. Her bright pink hair framed her face. Zaraki looked at her and grinned mischievously

"Ya...your right Yachiro..." he said in his gruff voice. He watched as the fourth squad lieutenant attended to her wounds. He looked at Captain Hichi the man had always been quite the annoyance.

"I see why Ichi didn't go with convention in making her a captain...if she had been put up for placement nobody would of voted her in...Right Zaraki!" Yachiro smiled brightly. Kenpachi nodded slowly.

"She's strong Zary-chan! You gonna fight her ehh?" a voice said behind the two. Zaraki had heard that voice a couple of times before and really didn't want to deal with its owner. He turned around and spotted the woman she was tall slender with long blood red hair that was pulled back into a braid today her crystal blue eyes seemed to spark with inner amusement.

"...Why...are you wearing a captains uniform...keran..." Zaraki glared as he saw her outfit. It was a captains uniform on the back rather then a squad insignia there was two letters in a circle K and J. Keran smirked.

"So Zary-chan 'members me I feel soo lucky Kiichi!!" she said brightly as she walked up to him she ran her figure over his chest slightly "Its good to see you again..." she smirked. He shook his head and frowned.

"Sorry can't say the same..." he growled.

"Hey! Long Haired girl leave Ken-chan alone really your very rude" Yachiro said glowering at her. Keran looked at Yachiro and then smirked.

"Oh...I see didn't noticed you there...right...I forgot Zaraki-san prefers little girls..." she said running a hand through her bangs. "Look me up when you want someone a little more mature...Zaraki..." she then seemed to disappear as Zaraki tried to catch her.

"Damn...She gets on my nerves.." Kenpachi said darkly. Yachiro nodded in agreement. When Zaraki looked back at where Raika and Kai had been both where no longer there. "Well looks like I am going to have to wait awhile longer before I can challenge here again.." he said

---

"Ichigo...It seems someone already challenged your placement of Raika do you think it was a good idea now" Rukia said as Ichigo sat in his desk he looked up from his work and sighed slightly.

"Did she win?..." he asked sounding slightly curious. Rukia blinked and then frowned.

"Yes but she got pretty badly injured in the process your being so reckless I don't care what you think she can handle this is to much..." she said harshly Ichigo stood up and smirked slightly. He walked up to her and wrapped his arm gently around her waist and looked down at her.

"Rukia...don't you remember...people use to say that to those who trained me...to Urahara and Yourich" Ichigo said to her. Rukia's face flushed red she hated when he did this she always felt like she wanted to scream.

"But...Ichigo..." she protested.

"are you still talking..." he said shortly as he looked down at her and then kissed her deeply. She pushed away from him slightly.

"DAMN IT ICHIGO!...now is not the time for that!" she growled. Ichigo sighed and put his hands behind his head with a frown.

"Cant blame a man for trying...anyways...I don't think right now its a good idea to have a squad without a captain...there are some troublesome reports I have been filing recently..." he sighed. He picked up a piece of paper off his desk and handed it to Rukia. She took it and her eyes widened.

"H-have..there been that many..." she said looking at Ichigo. The orange haired man nodded slowly.

"Unfortunately yes...it seems like the newer Shigami are being picked off by the hollows..we've had 10 deaths in the past weak..." Rukia looked at Ichigo in shock.

"W-why hasn't anyone else noticed this..." she said Ichigo frowned and sighed.

"I've been trying to keep it on the down low...but what it comes down to right now...either they are getting stronger...or we are getting weaker and either way we need all of our squads to have captains..." he said lightly. Rukia nodded slowly he was right a squad with out a captain was useless. "and of course thats not the only warning sign Rukia...shes back...keran" he said lightly.

"WHAT! Why is she back..." Rukia glowered at Ichigo. The leader of the Shigami's shrugged.

"I don't know she wouldn't tell me...she's been hanging around however because I can always feel her...I am surprised you haven't sensed her already she has very distinct spiritual pressure..." she said. Now that he mentioned it she could feel the woman even from the middle of the seireitei she was somewhere near the out skirts.

"This isn't good is it Ichigo...With keran hanging around who knows whats going on...did you happen to ask her about Raika?" she asked now she was slightly curious about Ichigo theory.

"I asked her if that was the reason she was here...I kinda hoped she would say yes...but she didn't know her...it could be her playing blond though you know how she gets when she wants to keep her secrets safe" he sighed. Rukia nodded her and Ichigo where probably the only two in both the soul society and the living world to know what keran was. The woman had showed up right before Ichigo had come to save her from her execution, and would keep her company up in the repentance room when she had been waiting to be executed the girl had actually given her a bit of hope.

"...well...looks like right now we can only sit and wait...right Ichigo..." Rukia said lightly. Ichigo nodded.

"For now lets just...have some fun" he smiled as he walked up to her and pushed her to the wall kissing her on the neck.

"I-Ichigo...s-stop.." she said but didn't fight him.
