Sayuri woke to the loud scream that pierced her sensitive ears, she didn't know what she was expecting and she had slept in late and was suprised Kira wasn't hammering on her door, she knew something was very wrong as she rushed putting on her shinigami clothes. She could feel the sudden surge in Liutenant Hinamori's reiatsu, her curiosity got the better of her and made her way there, by the time she got there everyone was leaving and their were still many yelling voices shouing orders. Sayuri slowed down when her captain now stood infront of her with his ever-lasting grin and stopped her from going round.
"Shouldn't ya be workin' Sayuri-chan" She bit down a growl and looked through her bangs up at him "There's been an unfortunate accident so there's going to be alot of paper work, now, of ya go" Sayuri hated the sarcasm in his voice that she knew anyone listening by wouldn't be able to tell. But the strong command of his voice left no room for discussion or protest. Sayuri turned as she heard the bustle of frantic 4th squad shinigami, and since Gin was watching her she turned and went to go to work, she came across no one that knew what happened. Sayuri was walking when and black butterfly landed onto her hand.
'you are to meet with General Yamamoto immediately' Sayuri sighed, she hated having meetings with the old man but she had him to thank. He knew of the power within her and liked to know how she was getting on trying to control it, and his liutenant always looked at her with scrutinizing eyes. Sayuri changed direction and headed to the old mans office. It was going to be a long day, and she knew asking the General about this morning events was going to also cause trouble. She was dragging her feet slightly and knocked on the door, the liutenant opened it and looked down at her with uncaring eyes. Sayuri walked in and bowed before the General who nodded his head and looked out of his open balcony.
"Ms. Sayuri, I hope you are well" he started "how is your control?" Sayuri looked down at the ground feeling almost ashamed for not being able to control the dark part of herself "I haven't had a decent fight for a while. It's getting a little hard at the moment" the General nodded his head and sighed heavily "I fear that you were accepted into the wrong squad but there is too much chaos going on, if it dies down soon I will move you to a more suited squad" Sayuri nodded her head afraid to say anything else "I also wanted to ask if you know anything of this accident?" Sayuri raised her head and looked at him with a frown.
"General, what are you going on about?" She was now confused "Don't play dumb, child, Captain Aizen is dead, and there are few who aren't fond of him" his loud voice made her jump. She hadn't expected that, her eyes wide with the news of Aizen's death, Sayuri took a step back this wasn't true. Aizen wasn't so easily attacked and she knew how decieving he could be, this wasn't true, a trap that would endanger the whole of the soul society. "I've only just found out!" Sayuri shouted at him not caring for her actions "I heard someone scream and a heighten in reaitsu and when I went to go find out I was told to go back to work by my Captain" Sayuri said more calmly hoping that he would believe her. She could feel the accusing eyes of his liutenant land on her, and he was walking closer to her she jumped back as his hand went to clamp around her arm.
"There is much going on and I can't rule you out, you'll be kept a close eye on for now" the general said turning away from her "You may leave" Sayuri vanished from the room feeling fear creep up into her, she knew that Aizen had a plan and this was ony part of it, and she knew the General would get suspicious if she started to investigate. She hated feeling so frustrated and on edge, she couldn't even breath in Aizen's presence and barely bare being in Tousen's or Gin's. Her darker self growled at the mere thought of them but Sayuri knew that her fear wouldn't let her fight them back, she hated this. "I can't let this go on" Sayuri whispered to herself and made her way to her paperwork avoiding the chaos but when she entered Gin was there waiting. A cold sense crawled up her back as she tried to back away but then she felt Tousen's presence aswell.
Sayuri's eyes widened as she felt the cold metal press against her neck "You'll stay out of this" Gin said as he walked forward and looked down into her eyes, she held back a gasp and tried to keep calm. "Don't worry, the best it yet to come" Sayuri froze at this and as they both vanished leaving her there stunned. As she went back to work her mind was still blank, she was still shocked. She had no clue what to do and when Yachiru popped into the room Sayuri didn't even know what to say, just let her babble on.
"Scruffy-chan, you won't speak?" Sayuri didn't know what to say knowing there was something going and was too scared to do anything about it "Booooooooring!" Yachiru yelled "play with me!" Sayuri sort of snapped out of her shock and nodded shyly not wanting to bump into Kira who thought so highly of Gin. Yachiru dragged Sayuri around to her squad barracks and Sayuri bumped into Zaraki's 3rd seat. Something bubbled within her but she kept it down as Yachiru dragged her around further, she didn't what game she was playing but it seemed that running around the whole of sereitei was what she wanted to do. No one took much notice of them and Sayuri was glad.
Well Sayuri was just going along with it until Yachiru yelled out "Ken-chan!" for once she didn't feel so dark around him, she was too shocked and scared to do anything. He looked down at her with a raised eyebrow expecting her to jump at him and demand a fight, now she looked like a lost kitten that had been beaten. Zaraki wasn't expecting that from her and he hated the look of weakness on her. "What's up with her?" he asked Yachiru who shrugged, Sayuri didn't bother getting angry at him for acting like she wasn't there "Did you find him yet, ken-chan?" he raised an eyebrow to his liutenant how shrugged once again "he could've been weak" Sayuri began to walk away not wanting to be so vunerable around this man.
"If you look like that you'll be made an easy target" Zaraki grumbled laying down on the roof, Sayuri turned to him not expecting advice she wanted to say 'too late' but that was giving up too much information and she didn't want the consepuences. "Sit" he muttered and even he wasn't sure why he said so. Sayuri sat obediently and quietly picking at he edge of her clothes slightly. "You find any of the intruders yet?" Sayuri turned to him and shook her head. She was confused by the heated feeling inside of her and felt it rise to her cheeks when he looked at her. Sayuri managed to keep it back down knowing she was already too vunerable in front of him like this and didn't want to make it any worse.
"It seems others have been more lucky in finding them, I found one but he was too weak to satisfy me" Sayuri blurted out wanting to end the silence between them. "I seem to have a list building, but I gotta find this intruder first before anything, curiosity always wins first" Sayuri laughed knowing she was the same way. Zaraki looked at her wanting to pull the other side out of her, that raw rage that excited him, she looked too shy and caged. The sun was beginning to set and he saw Sayuri inhale deeply "I must leave" she muttered, she stood and looked down at him with that gleam in her eye "Find me when you're ready to have your ass kicked" he laughed a she flash stepped away no longer looking so shy.
Sayuri didn't know where the confidence came from but she couldn't leave letting him think she was shy and weak, she grinned to herself and went to go find something to do. She couldn't stay in this evening, she wanted to let herself be free and let herself outside of the caged shyness. Sayuri needed to train and she knew no one better than fighting her own Zanpakto.

The wind was still and there was no noise around, Sayuri sat there joining to meet her Zanpakto. She opened her eyes and realised she was sat on the locked door, the sky was Dark green and the clouds were swirls of purple. The floor was a maze of locked doors all had some srange design of black, white and yellow on.
"Finally, I've been bored not fighting you" Kyoki said standing in all his glory. He was slightly taller than Sayuri and his skin was Scarlet, his eyes with black and white swirls. He wore Yellow baggy trousers and that was it and his tail was leaf shaped at the end, Kyoki smirked at her knowing that she was going to fight him, he loved that she was getting closer to losing all of her shyness. "You made me wait awhile didn't you, my sweet" Sayuri smirked back at him drawing her katana releasing it into it's first form. "I've been busy, if we fought all the time I'm sure you'd get bored" Kyoki cackled at her words "Bored! Theres always something new to learn. Now let's have some fun!" Sayuri jumped back as he disappeared through one of the doors, his trick was coming from any angle.
She turned around and quickly blocked his attack as he popped out of one of the doors behind her, she pushed him back and charged at him again letting out her anger. They both had the same grins plastered on their faces, looking identical to each other, he jumped over her and swug his katana at her back but she avaided it and jumped back from him, "you'll have to do better than that" Kyoki laughed again and flicked his long black hair out of his eyes. He sprung and grabbed her foot and swug her into the air where he jumped up and went to attack once again. Sayuri swung her katane against his "Scream!" she yelled and the golden green light shot from her katana sending Kyoki backwards and he shot the same attack back to her. Sayuri pushed the force of it back and pounced at him again this time with full intention of making him bleed, she caught his arm and he caught her leg. They both landed breathing heavily "not bad, you're thirst for blood always makes me proud" his malicious grin motivated her and they began once again.
When they finally landed once again they were both bleeding and bruised. "Now my sweet, I have something to show you, my element of suprise isn't my only power" Kyoki couldn't wait to see her face "Well this is kind of a suprise to you and your oppnents but still. Now watch closely my sweet, or I won't let you play" Sayuri watched him as he took her Katana and threw it in the air "HENKAN!" (henkan - transform) she watched as the sword fell back onto his hands and burst into light which then curled around his hands. When the light died the metal was now curled around his hands and fingers, they were covered in small spikes. "so is this your true form?" Kyoki shook his head and smirked "No this is my third form, and Bankai is my fourth" Sayuri stood a little confused "I can change because you have two sides to yourself, when you're shy side dies then so will my second form. You're a little different my sweet, but that is always a good thing" Sayuri never knew her Zanpakto was like her, and she surtently wasn't expecting this, but like Kyoki said 'theres always something new to learn' "No go, we noth need our beauty sleep!" he cackled.

Sayuri opened her eyes and smirked down at her Zanpakto, she put Kyoki back into his sheath and slowly began to walk her tired body to her room, Kyoshi joined her on the way and curled himself around her shoulders purring happily. Todays events were forgotten, well until she bumped into Ragiku who wasn't in her usual bubbly mood. "Ah, Say-chan, its been such a long day" she sighed falling into step beside Sayuri, who had began to recall todays events "Yes, indeed" she muttered falling back into her shy state. Rangiku looked to the sky and inhaled "I've got some more work to finish up, I'll see you tomorrow!" Rangiku called flash-stepping away.
Kyoshi rubbed his face against her cheek in form of comfort as Sayuri looked to the ground and began to think again, she had to find a way to get past the General's watching eyes and find out what is really going on. There was going to be more chaos and death than she would've liked, this man had no heart and she planned to rip a whole in his chest where a heart should've been, but first she would need the confidence and her luck was never that good. Sayuri opened her door and turned the lights on in her room, Kyoshi jumped from her shoulders onto her bed as she dressed into her light green robe. She pulled off her glasses and looked in the mirror in her bathroom pushing her hair away from her face, she traced the scar that went from her hairline to just below her eyebrow. Sayuri washed her face and looked into her green eyes. She could see the darkness in them, her madness and smiled feeling comforted that she wasn't normal. She pushed her hair back into place and crawled into bed. Once again dreaming of fighting Zaraki and yearning for the adrenaline rush that awaited her.
