Just so you guys know, it's still in Flashback mode! Please review as well!

I lay there, panting on the ground.

'Wanna give me a hint on what to do?' I thought.

'Ah, I'm sorry, allow me to introduce myself-'

'No time for introductions!' I thought urgently as I was suddenly lifted by something. I looked up into the gaping mouth and screamed out loud.

'Say it! Say "Show your true air, Kaze no Chaos"!'But before I could say anything as I was passed into the Hollow's mouth, a calm, cold and secure voice said,

"Chire, Senbonzakura."

I was about to look around for the source of the voice, but was distracted by pink petals floating over to the Hollow in front of me. They stopped in front of the thing, then disappeared. I blinked, and the Hollow fell down while disintegrating into thin air.

Now I spun around, but I didn't have to look far. because a man with long black hair, white haori, white scarf, stern face, black sumerai robes similar to mine and holding a sword that was building with pink petals forming the blade was standing right behind me. I gasped, and unconsciously stepped back.

The guy smirked, then said emotionlessly, "Get away from here. You are not a Shinigami and will never be one."

I scowled, though I had no idea about what he had just said, "Hey! If you were watching all that time, then you would have seen that I just turned into whatever you just said!"

He glared at me, "Shinigami! Now get out of my way or I will kill you!"

I glowered back, "Oh, acting Mr. tough guy now are we? What's it to you, if I die?"

"Did I say that I cared if you were dead or not?"

"No, but you should bloody well care!"

"But I don't!"

"You should!"

"No I shouldn't!"

"Yes, you should!"

"No, I shouldn't!"

A low, deep laugh interrupted their arguement.

We both turned to see a another, huger Hollow leering down at us.

The guy beside me muttered, back to his emotionless state, "Adjuchas."

I asked, "A what?"

"Adjuchas."

I was having fun now, even if my life was getting threatened. "What?"

"Adjuchas."

"What?"

I was suddenly held up in a choking grip. One moment, he was only five metres away from me, now he was right in front of me and gripped my throat in one hand.

I gasped, struggling for air. He whispered menacingly, "Remind me, human, who saved your life."

I managed to roll my eyes. "Duh! Your sword! Who else?"

We glared daggers at each other for a few seconds, but then my vision was getting dim. He dropped me in disgust. "I have better things to do than deal with you." He spat, then turned, walking towards the adjuchas, and lifting his sword up slightly. I lowered at his retreating back, fuming. I was snapped back to reality when the adjuchas roared and lunged for the guy. He held up his sword fast, blocking the talons that the hollow had. He broke the contact, and leapt back.

'You should be helping him',My zanpakutou said.

'I should?' I asked. 'He's such a jerk.'

'Yes, I know he is, but he saved your life.'

'Yeah, yeah...Fine, I'll help him...but how?'

'My God, what did I tell you to say whne you were about to get eaten?'

'um...'

'You surprise me...how can you forget in such a short time?'

'Well...There is a lot going on! Now what were those words?'

'"Show your true air, Kaze no Chaos"' But, i don't know if you are trained enough! It might strain your body...Wait! Don't!'

I ignored my zanpakutou and held my sword in front of me. I shouted, "Show your true air, Kaze no Chaos!"

Nothing happened. The guy looked at me, raising an eyebrow. The hollow stopped to watch. (A/N: I know, adjuchas are supposed to be smart, but oh well this ones dumb.)

My eye twitched. A blush started to make its way up my neck. 'WHAT THE HELL!?! YOU SAID IT WOULD WORK!!!' I yelled in my head.

My sword answered back timidly, 'Well, I didn't say it would work...I just said it might strain your body...and obviously, your not trained for this right now.'

The guy hissed at me, "Stay back!"

I shouted back, "I will not!" I then held my sword high again. "Show your true air, Kaze no Chaos!"

Again, nothing happened. I scowled. The man glared, "I told you to stay back."

I watched as he raised his sword in front of him and said coldly, "Chire, Senbonzakura!" His sword dispersed into pink petals and flew towards the hollow. They disappeared in front of the hollow. But it didn't fall down. The hollow laughed, "Do not try your petty tricks on me! I saw it attack, and was able to dodge every one!"

True to it's word, it had avoided every single one because the blade on the guy's sword formed up again.

I said, "Any more ideas, smart guy?"

He ignored me and said to the hollow, "I do not have time for this. Bankai!" (A/N: A little extreme, even for Byakuya, but this has to happen for this story to work. I do not know if adjuchas are hard to beat for a captain, but lets just say they are! :D)

I watched as several sword appeared on either side of the guy, taller than him, and alligned in rows. (A/N: Please don't get me to explain it! Happenes in the fight with Ichigo...or was it Renji? i dunno.)

"Wow," I said, amused, pratically enjoying the show, "Your dead meat now!"

"Quiet!" The guy said. "Chire..."

The hollow's eyes widened.

"Senbonzakura!"

The blades dipersed into millions of petals and they floated over to the hollow. They vanished. I waited with baited breath, but then saw, with horror, that the blades that were in the ground, reformed.

And the hollow was still standing.

It burst out laughing again, "Ahaha! That trick is still useless! I could dodge every one of those stupid petals! Give up now, and I might make your death quick!"

My eyebrows furrowed. If we don't do something, we will die! My eyes scanned the place around me. Then realization hit me. I yelled to the guy, "Do that again!"

He turned to me, "Why?"

"Just do it!"

He shrugged then said, holding his sword up again, "Chire, Senbonzakura"

I smirked as the petals began flying over to the hollow.

Please work, I thought. I said, "Show your true air, Kaze no Chaos!"

I watched in amazement and interest as my sword changed. It's hilt turned into a beautiful symbol made up of swirls and lines. The place where I gripped it was curved at the end. The blade was pure white with grey lines and spirals and swirld, almost the same desisn on the hilt, and it was curling all the way up until the point. I grinned. Excellent..., My zanpakutou said.

Time to unleash my oh-so brilliant plan! I thought. I swiped my sword at the Sakura Trees on the side of the street, beside the pathway. The pink petals came off gently and joined the others, guided by the wind that I was concentrating on and controlling. Now the cloud that was the guy's petals were now everywhere, covering the whole street so that I couldn't see. Some petals were real, some were fake. I waited for the petals to clear, blinking my eyes.

After a few moments, the flowers started to finally settle, since I let go of my control over the air. The street was littered with petals, and the blades were still gone. I looked over to where the guy was and saw that he still there, sheathing his sword. The hollow wasn't anywhere to be seen. My sword went back to it's original form.

The guy started walking away. "Wait!" I called. He turned, regarding me with a cold stare. "What?" He asked.

I said plainly, "At least tell me your name."

He sighed, and started walking away again. He said, still looking forwards, "It's Kuchiki...Kuchiki Byakuya."

I smiled, then said after him, "Kurosaki Arika."

He disappeared form sight. I sighed, then felt suddenly drained. I collapsed, unable to move.

'What's happening?' I asked my Zanpakutou, 'I can't move my body!'

'I said you could strain your body. Now you could die if you don't get care soon!'

'That jerk! He probably knew I would end up like this!'

'Or probably he didn't know!'

'Shut up...' I couldn't speak anymore, and I slowly drifted off to unconsciousness...

Present time

I sighed. I kept on wondering where Byakuya went. 'Still, what a jerk...leaving me there...'

'At least you got svaed by your dad and Ichigo! They found you like that, sprawled over the ground...'

'Actually, I heard from dad he found me first. Wait...What about my body?'

'What do you mean?'

'Dad says he found me, but I wasn't in my own body, I was still in soul form...'

'True...oh well, just get some sleep will ya?'

'Fine! Good night.'

'Goodnight'

Sorry it took so long to get out! I really am lazy. i've planned it all out, but I sometimes can't be bothered typing it out! Please review!
