Ignisha: Wow, only a chapter and already over 500 hits in under a day? That's a new record! Anyway, second chapter is on! And I don't own Naruto or Bleach!

The Pacifist Arrancar

Soul Two: The Training

Rukia stood there, shocked, gazing at the blonde haired man behind her. While his figure made her blush, her trainings of recognizing hollows of all shapes and sizes stopped her from doing so.

Looking at the Hollow mask fragment and Hollow hole, she gulped.

"Wh-who are... you...?"

She asked the million dollar question.

The man narrowed his blue eyes, before sighing and scratching behind his rabbit-like ears.

"Damn... seems you really forgot about me, huh? Gotta compliment the old man about his seals..."

"S-seals...?"

The man smiled.

"Doesn't matter... I've been wanting to meet you for a long time... Rukia..."

"Y-you've been... waiting... to meet me...?"

Before the blonde could answer, he narrowed his eyes and blurred away as Byakuya attempted to slash him. Byakuya scoffed as he looked at the man.

"Who are you?" Byakuya repeated the question Rukia asked.

The blonde narrowed his eyes. "And why should I answer such a noble Shinigami such as yourself, Kuchiki Byakuya?"

"Hoh? So a lowly Hollow such as yourself know of such Nobility as I?"

The Hollow smirked. "And it's that exact arrogance I hate about nobles..."

Byakuya narrowed his eyes.

"For that insult, I should have your head... Hollow..." The noble declared, holding his Zanpaktou in front of him.

"Chire... Senbonzakura... (Scatter... Thousand Cherry Blossoms)"

Suddenly, the blade scattered into thousands of tiny blades that reflected the light as sakura petals. Byakuya then directed the mini blades to the mysterious man.

The blonde narrowed his eyes, before blurring faster than any of the captain-level Shinigami before him, and reappeared behind Rukia, shocking them further.

Rukia froze as she felt the Hollow's presence behind her, waiting for the finishing blow, only to hear:

"I'm sorry... Rukia..."

Rukia widened her eyes, turning to ask him a question only to see him gone.

Yoruichi, seizing this chance, started to blur out.

"Three days, Byaku-bo... In three days, I'll make this kid stronger than you... remember that... Later, Byaku-bo..."

Then she was gone with Ichigo.

Byakuya scoffed before sealing his Zanpaktou and sheathing it. He then turned and walked away, passing Jushiro.

"Ah~... Byakuya-san, where are you going?"

Byakuya stopped.

"Anywhere but here..."

Then he was gone.

Jushiro sighed, before looking at the battered Ganju.

"Well, better call the 4th Division..."

Turning to a very shaken Hanataro and Rukia, he sighed again.

He then blinked.

"By the way, who was that blonde haired man?" He asked.

Rukia blinked.

"Um... t-to be honest, Taicho... I... I'm not sure myself..."

(Later.../Unknown Cavern...)

Yoruichi sighed as she led a complaining Ichigo down the Sokyoku Hill and into a strange doorway. As Ichigo continued to complain, Youichi opened the hidden door in the ground and pushed Ichigo in.

"And besides, even if I might die, there's still you and the others! Right?"

When he didn't get an answer, he turned to glare at Yoruichi.

"Oi, Yoruichi-san! Answer me-..."

He paused.

"There's no floor under me, is there...?"

Yoruichi only smiled like a cat and waved bye as Ichigo fell through the hole.

"YORUICHI-SA~~~~~N!"

*FOOM*

Yoruichi flinched at the fall. She then whistled.

"I'll give it a 4 out of 10..." She commented.

*Cavern*

Ichigo silently swore to Yoruichi as said cat-woman jumped in. He stood up and looked around.

"This place's..."

"Yep, it's similar to Kisuke's underground 'Basement' as he likes to call it." Yoruichi answered the unasked question.

She then gestured Ichigo to follow her.

"Come on."

She then brought out a human-shaped doll. "Stab your Zanpaktou with this."

"Wh-why?"

Yoruichi sighed. "In order to defeat Byakuya, you gotta learn Bankai, the last level of our Zanpaktou. I told you this before, right?"

"Y-yeah..."

"Then, with this, you'll be able to achieve Bankai in three days."

Ichigo then shot a determined look. "Alright then."

"Yosh. Alright, before we being, let me tell you about the-..."

*SHUNK*

Yoruichi blinked as Ichigo stabbed the doll with his Zangetsu. "I-idiot! You don't have to do it now! I still have to-...!"

"This is the only way to save Rukia right? Then save the lecturing for later! I gotta do this now!"

(Meanwhile)

The same Hollow from before watched Ichigo and Yoruichi as Zangetsu materialized himself. He chuckled at Ichigo's remark to definitely achieve Bankai in three days.

"The kit's just like me... Kinda makes me wonder if I have a descendant..."

He stopped and thought for a bit.

"Nah, I don't have one... do I?"

He shrugged a bit before continuing to watch the sword and its master train, the last thoughts in his mind being:

"This should be interesting..."
