You attack instantly, and with much force. Byakuya drew his sword to block, but it was useless. "Bad move," you say with a smirk. Within seconds Byakuya's sword was covered in ice. He drew away which left an opening. You started attacking viciously and swiftly. The blood was pumping through your body, and an urge tugged at your heart, the want for blood. It was like being a ravenous wolf stuck in a cage full of rabbits, there was a hunting instinct. "What are you doing!" Byakuya hisses, while dodging all of your attacks. "Now, now Byakuya. Let's have some fun! Attack!" you say sounding as fight-crazed as Zaraki. Your attacks become faster, and closer to Byakuya, until one hit struck, then another, and another.

Suddenly, you felt someone attack. "Getsuga Tenshou!" A blade of energy came rushing toward you. "I'll distract her, help Byakuya," Ichigo whispers to Rukia. You skip to one side, easily dodging the attack, and begin to walk toward Ichigo. "Hmmmm, you seem to be a much more interesting opponent then him," you jerk your head toward Byakuya, who was kneeling on the floor, bleeding badly while turning into a giant ice cube.

"WAIT!" Urahara shouts. You turn to him, your eyes no longer glazed over, but a bright red color.

"What!" you hiss. "I've got orders to fulfill!"

"Go into the basement so you won't destroy my house!" Urahara complains.

You rolled your eyes, before continuing on your hunt for strawberry boy. He begins to move backward, but still faces you. Suddenly you stop, and drop the two daggers to the floor. Your eyes begin to turn back to their normal color. Shaking you fall to your knees, and grasp your head. Somehow you manage to whimper, "The necklace, I can't hold out much longer!" Your eyes begin to flash from red to blue. You cry out in exasperation. Inside your mind, there was a mental war going on. The real you, and the you that was being controlled. It seemed like a millennium before the cold metal came around your neck. Panting you struggle back to your feet. Your vision was slightly blurry, but you could see Inoue working over a golden barrier. Inside, was Byakuya, badly wounded and half frozen. You grab one of the daggers, and begin to move toward Rukia.

Rukia saw you coming, and grabbed Byakuya's sword. "Don't come any closer!" she says defensively. You hear Inoue whimper, "He's not healing!" The ice began to thicken around his body.

"You have to trust me," you say calmly.

"I did!" she cried, "And look what happened. Nee-sama is DIEING!"

"I'm the only one that can heal his wounds," you reply.

Rukia stood there shaking. "We don't have a choice Kuchiki-san," Inoue says softly.

Reluctantly Rukia put the sword down.

You drew one of the two daggers, and made a thing line down middle of the captain's chest. "This should reverse the effect of Fuyushimo," you explain, seeing Rukia's horror stricken expression. Sure enough, as soon as the blade touched the ice, the ice began to thaw out.

By the time Byakuya woke up, you had left the house, and ran away.

"Where's Hitsugaya?" Byakuya asked.

"She left," Ichigo replied. "Do you really think that's a smart idea to go find her. I don't know if you noticed, but she turned you into a snowman."

"I need to talk to her." And with that the usually cold captain left.

You were sitting on a bench, that overlooked a lake.

"I've been looking for you," Byakuya says from behind you. You didn't reply for a while. "I'm really really sorry...please have a seat," you mutter.

Byakuya sat, but didn't get very comfortable, in case he had to spring up, "When you were...um...attacking, you said something about orders."

"Oh, that. I honestly don't know," you reply, fingering the sapphire gem at the end of your necklace. "Right after I got the necklace, I had some weird dream. I was somewhere with Sosuke, and he told me to, kill everyone that stood in his way. And when I take off the necklace, I have no control over my actions."

Byakuya gave you a strange look. "You might want to report this to Sotaichou."

"No!" you say quickly. "If I tell him, he'll think that I'm following Sosuke's orders and that I'm betraying Soul Society. I've already got people waiting for me to slip up, so they can cut my throat!"

There was no reply.

"You don't get it do you!" you snap. "To know the one you love did something wrong, but you want to tell yourself that it isn't. Do you know what it's like to lose the one you loved the most, to just have them walk out on you? "

Byakuya got up and says one simple word, "Yes."

For a moment you were utterly confused, then it hit you. Hisana. You started to have a mental spaz before chasing after Byakuya.

You skid to a halt in front of him. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it like that, it's just, well, I was mad, and-"

Byakuya interrupts you, "What's done is done, she's gone and that is that." He kept walking, with no expression whatsoever on his face.

You peer after him. Sometimes you wonder how he could be so emotionless.

The sky began to darken, and soon after, rain started to fall. "How ironic," you mutter. You close your eyes, look up at the sky, and let the rain hit your face in a calming matter. The other captain turned about 100 feet away, "Are you coming?" he asks. For a while you didn't reply, but slowly you say, "Yea." You run after him, but just as you reach him, you slip on the mud. Unfortunately, you took Byakuya down with you...and use him as a landing pad.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so so sorry!" you exclaim, blushing a deep red. Quickly, you jump off of him and held out a hand to Byakuya, "Here, let me help." The silent captain looks at you, and begins to laugh softly. You cock an eyebrow at him, "Did I miss something?" And of course, as if on cue, you once again fall back into the mud.

"You are such a klutz," Byakuya chuckles. "In a good way."

You stare at him in disbelief. Byakuya, the Byakuya, was smiling! S-M-I-L-I-N-G! You start o giggle. "What?" he asks, starting to stand up.

"Nothing, nothing," you reply. He gave you a quizzical glance, but shook it off. "Here," he holds his hand out to you.

"Thanks," you say taking his hand. Once up, you ask him, "Do you need a place to stay?"

The key clicked inside the lock. "Welcome to my place," you say. There were 5 rooms in total, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a kitchen, and a lounge room. Dripping wet, you make a bee line toward the bathroom. "You snooze you lose!" you call behind you. "Do I?" he says, now in front of you, and already inside the bathroom. "Hey! That's not fair!" you manage to say before he slams the door in your face. You heard him chuckle inside, "I wonder if he's on drugs..." you mumble.

It seemed like ages before Byakuya came out of the bathroom. "Geez! About time!" you complain, shoving him out as soon as the door was open. You were practically freezing your butt off waiting for him. After the shower you put on a fresh hakama (don't ask how you got clothes YOU JUST DO ;P) and decided to call Rukia. She probably thought you had killed her brother.

Rukia? It's Yuki.

Yuki!!!!! Where's nee-sama?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

He's fine. I rented out an apartment, it's at-

At that moment you felt a jolt of reiatsu. Before you knew what happened, the other captain was out the door, moving quickly to the source.

Sorry Rukia, can't talk now. I'll see you tomorrow! Bye!

You hang up before Rukia could say anything else.

"Ugh! This better be important," you whine once outside in the rain.

As you run through the rain, the new presence starts to feel familiar. Then it hits you; it was his reiatsu. You speed up; you were going to get to the bottom of this whole necklace brain-control thing.

All three of the traitors were there, with Byakuya standing across from them. You stop swiftly next to him.

"What did I tell ya Aizen-sama," Gin begins to speak at your arrival, "she did become Taichou. How could you not see that Tousen?"

The blind captain shot him an evil look.

"Oh wait, don't answer that..."

"Why are you here?" you ask harshly, keeping your hand close to the hilt of your sword.

"Well wouldn't ya like ta know girlie," Gin replies "I'll tell ya if ya come back with us to Hueco Muendo."

You scoff, "As if."

Gin makes an over-exagerated sigh. "Ya always make us do this the hard way, dontcha girlie." He starts to move toward his sword.

You saw Tousen mutter something to Gin, but you were to far away to hear.

"Yuki," Sosuke finally speaks. "it's been a long time, hasn't it."

You roll your eyes.

"You really haven't changed much since the last time I saw you. You're still strong-willed, and stubborn as always, and as easy to read as an open book. I can see it in you, your thirst for power. I can give you that power, but you must do something for me in return."

"Don't act like you know me."

"I don't think you know what position your in, especially when your brother's life is on the line."

Fear surges through your body. "What have you done with Toshirou."

"That information comes with a price."

Without warning, you attack the cocky bastard. However, Tousen and Gin block your attack. The sound of metal against metal rings through that air. You glare through the swords, into the deep brown eyes that were just in front of you. "Move...now!" you spit. A burst of reiatsu explodes from you. The unexpected force left the other two in shock for the tiniest second, you use this momentary opening to your advantage. Rapidly, you move pass the two captains, and come after Sosuke. He begins to run. "Come back here!" you scream. By now you have totally lost it. Anger pulses through your veins, pushing you to move after the captain.

While Sosuke looks behind him, you sprint ahead. "Tell me what you have done with my brother," you snarl, the sword tip at his neck.

"Nothing...yet," he replies calmly.

"What do you mean yet?" you ask, still leaving the blade at his throat.

The captain chuckles lightly. "I have 4 Espada stationed at each gate, entering Seireitei. At my command they will infiltrate Seireitei, and slaughter every shinigami in their path. Your brother was made into the main prize." You stare at him in horror. "Now, I suggest you remove your sword, unless you would risk your precious brother's life."

Slowly, you lower your sword.

"Now you have two choices," he continues "you can either do exactly what I tell you. Or watch everyone die in Seireitei."

You stand there in utter shock. He was telling you to betray Soul Society or watch everyone die.

"Did you not hear me?" Sosuke asks impatiently. You stand there with a blank expression.

All of a sudden a sharp ringing pierces your skull. You scream out in pain, and collapse to both knees. The noise feels like thousands of drills pounding against your skull, the agony was unbearable. "I will never...betray....Soul....Society," you manage to say between heavy breaths.

"Wrong answer," the captain says. The noise becomes sharper, and torture doubles. More screams pierce the air. By now your body is so sensitive, the light drizzle of rain, feels like shards of glass against your skin. "I hope you did not value the lives of everyone in Seireitei," Sosuke mutters in your ear.

Just before you black out, you see petals. Flower petals. "Bya-ku-ya," you murmur, before falling into a pit of darkness.
