"Hey Rukia, going somewhere? You know, you should put on your Lieutenant badge on. It's soul Society law that you wear it. Oh, and Rayona, wear your captain haori or you'll be punished by the old man." Ichigo said grimly.
Rukia and Rayona lost it together, Rayona used her flash-step to get behind him and Rukia drew her Zanpaktu and held it pointed at his heart, and Rayona's Zanpaktu at his neck. They were so enraged that they were panting hard, struggling to keep their swords from shaking from rage. That foul-mouthed, no good, arrogant fool thought to be the captain of squad 10 in the 13 court guard squads. Supposedly he only got that title because former squad 5's Captain Aizen was a traitor so former squad 10's captain got squad 5 and Ichigo got squad 10. Kana had enough of Rayona and Rukia's tempers, so she left; Sayaku had it as well and used an Aikido like move she learned in Soul Reaper School. It was forbidden to use it unless you were in combat, but Sayaku had enough and finally used it against her best friend, Rayona.
"Bakuro! 38! Shunejensi!" Sayaku shouted as a red orb formed and she blasted it in the general direction of Rayona.
Once the dust cleared, Rayona was standing next to Sayaku and Rukia was just landing from a high jump, Ichigo was on fire from the attack. Rayona sighs, turns around and starts to leave; Ichigo tries to stop her from leaving but when he touches her she yelps in pain. It hurt her, being touched on her wrist and hand, she had a wound, an old wound, and unfortunately, it did not heal all the way. She had an ugly scar from her middle fingers to her right elbow, and a scar on her right eye too, but that's not why she has an eye patch on her right eye. Battle wounds, no, more than just battle wounds, they were proof of the time she fought the elder for the highest position, she was left with only a few scars. He didn't hold back, neither did her, she had made a mistake that could have cost her her life; she remembered the words spoken to her after the fight: "Rayona, I'm disappointed in you, you could have beaten me with your Zanpaktu's released form alone, but you tried Bankai when you still had your eye patch on. And you went for the cross strike, but you know, that was a mistake, never, ever, try a so predictable move. You have to be strong! And pull through until you have beaten them down into nothing!" That's all he had to say to his very own great granddaughter that was laying on the ground, coughing up blood, tap…tap…tap… he walked away, head high, blood splattered here and there. Tap…tap…tap… she blinked and her vision faded, and then… darkness.
She opened her eyes and walked away, head held high, hand shaking from remembering that fateful day. Ichigo knew, she made up her mind, and he could do nothing about it, his fiancé, Rayona Kuchiki, made up her mind about everything. She was headed for Mayasa Urahara's gate to the Soul Society, once in the Soul Society; she went to Kieske Urahara's gate to Japan. Kana and Sayaku understood so they stayed behind so as not to disturb Rayona and have her attack them, such a scary thought, Rayona attacking them without notice. Rukia didn't understand so she and Ichigo went with her to the world of the living and back to Ichigo's house. The 3 of them traveled together, although Rayona didn't need them, she just put up with it and shut up. One day Rukia and Ichigo went back to the Soul Society for about 3 days to 3 weeks, and in that time Rayona went to Ichigo's former school to get away from reality. Tick…tick…tick…the seconds went by, Byakuya was aching for a fight, but he retained from doing so and went about paperwork, then he got ready for a fight. He ties his Zanpaktu onto his waist, opens his eyes and sets off to find Hollows.
"Wow. How long have I been here?" Rayona questioned herself only after 3 weeks of being in the world of the living. She made new friends in just that time, but despite all that, it all ended when summer break started. Rayona was just walking all alone when she suddenly felt a Hollow's Spiritual Pressure. It was…familiar, which Hollow could it be? Then, out of nowhere she got out of her Gegi and was in her Soul Reaper body; Kieske Urahara forced her out of it and pointed to the Hollow. It was the Grand Fisher, the evil, demented, foul Hollow who killed Ichigo's mother. Or so she thought, she had an idea, Why not make him prove he killed Ichigo's mother? She stood up straight, took a deep breath and got into a very relaxed position.
"Hello, Grand fisher, or, are you really the legendary Hollow that has been escaping from Ichigo Kurosaki and us Soul Reapers for over 2,000 years?" Rayona challenged bitterly.
"You should know by now, I am the Grand Fisher! I killed that boy's mother! To prove it… why not show her to you?" The Hollow shrieked and the lure sprouting from his head changed into Ichigo's mom.
"Humph! So you are! Well then, "Rayona's eyes went dark. " I'll just have to eliminate you myself! The very source of my fiancé's pain!"
Rayona ran foreword and drew her Zanpaktu, flash-step…flash-step…flash-step. And she was right behind him…and then he was gone once she tried to slash at him, here was he? He was never there all along, it was his new trick, he used refraction against her. He was really safe in the sky, and ready to eat her soul, he wanted her soul only, to devour her into nothing. He got her into a corner, and now, he planned a trick on her. Greed, Sorrow, and Hatred, he was more than those emotions; he was a Dirty hollow hungry for a Soul Reapers soul.
"You don't get it, I have power over you. I can kill you if I want to! So, I will eat your soul instead!" The Grand Fisher sneered hatefully.
He charged and got hold of her; he bit into her and basked in the sound of her screams of pain. He wanted more so he bit harder and heard a bone breaking, yes; he broke her right shoulder and part of her arm. He enjoyed playing with his food; he would make her suffer for being Ichigo Kurosaki's fiancé at all costs. She could see only darkness then she felt the Spiritual Pressure of her brother, but only faintly. She struggled and when she could, she grabbed her Zanpaktu and plunged it into the Grand Fisher. She heard and felt him let go of her and when he got away from her, she tried to stop the bleeding.
She was breathing very hard, she could feel her wound pulsating and then she felt it stronger. Her brothers Spiritual Pressure, it was very close, and then, she could feel herself falling. Her eyesight was fading, she couldn't breath, then, she was caught, someone caught her. Such warm arms, she could melt into it, and the nostalgic scent, it was so familiar. She knew that scent, that Spiritual Pressure but, she was fading away; losing herself, and then a voice broke that silence. What? Get up? I'm not ready. I don't want to. I'm not getting up; I'll just lose myself again.
"Rayona! Snap out of it! Wake up! This no time to act like your dying!" Commanded her older brother Byakuya Kuchiki.
He was here, he came, that made her happy, then, she opened her eyes and he was worried sick about her. She knew he was relieved but when she tried to speak she coughed up blood. It burned, awakening from darkness, but she didn't have to say anything, he knew. He knew what she wanted to ask him, why was he here, how, and when did he start caring for her? Byakuya sighed and set her down, pulled put his Zanpaktu and does the flash-step… slash…slash…slash! He reappeared in front of her and then suddenly the Hollow burst with blood going everywhere. She was in shock, why, how, when, what, is what was going through her head.
"Get up, and fight Rayona, that's… if you want to save Ichigo and your future together." Byakuya spoke demandingly.
Rayona understood, she had to make herself move, had to make herself fight for her love for Ichigo. She remembered that day, when Ichigo almost sacrificed himself for her sake, yes, it was déjà vu for her. Only this time she was going to push her limits to protect him this time. She would allow herself to be taken over partially, to achieve her goal in mind. She stood up, receiving help from Byakuya and faces the Grand Fisher, ready and focused. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, loosening and concentrating on breaking that barrier of a line between her chosen path.
Byakuya could see her tremendous Spiritual Power; she was going to break the line between Soul Reaper powers and Hollow powers. The line has only been broken once before, and that one person who broke it was Ichigo Kurosaki. And now, Rayona Kuchiki was going to break that barrier as well, and only she can truly protect their love. Rayona made up her mind; she loved him and wanted to be there for him always and forever. She breathed in and focused purely on breaking that barrier, and she, in no time at all, broke it with ease. There was a sound like evil, shaky, mechanical laughter coming from Rayona, something was wrong, yes, something was very wrong.
"Finally! I get to come out and take over this body to my hearts content!" Rayona yelled facing the Grand Fisher, with a mask of white and red on.
Rayona was different; her hair was all white with black streaks and the mask. It was a Hollows mask, it had red streaks and white as the main color, her eyes, the whites were pure black and the color part was yellow, neon yellow like a cat. Cold chills went down Byakuya and then she disappeared, reappeared, and she slashed away. The Grand Fisher was caught by surprise; she slashed and slashed and slashed, she was crazy. She tried to not go too crazy but she was getting revenge for him killing Ichigo's mother. She killed the Grand Fisher and when she got back to normal she fell to the ground. Byakuya could see it, on the ground next to her, it was the mask she had on, the mask of a Hollow.
