Soifon had gained her composure and was starting at the Kuchiki Captain, who was now a vizard. "Byakuya, what the hell have you turned into?" Byakuya was moving faster than Zommari's Gemelos Sonido, making it hard for Soifon to keep up with the real him. All Soifon could do was smile. "I asked you a simple question Byakuya. Do you like me or not?" Byakuya reduced his speed to Gemelos Sonido so he could unleash a flurry of balas at Soifon. "Is your menos-level speed supposed to scare me? Do I need to fight you in order to get an answer?" Soifon unsheathed her zanpakuto but couldn't go in shikai because Byakuya had released Senbonzakura's shikai. "Fon Shaolin, I am worlds above you in shunpo; you cannot defeat me. I do not need to answer your question to satisfy your fantasies." Soifon blacked out in rage. "He's pissed me off now Suzuembachi; its now time to play." Soifon kept some distance by way of hadou and speed blitzing off Soukyoku Hill and into the area where she fought Yoruichi. "Sting all enemies to death, SUZUEMBACHI!" She was strapped and ready for a good battle, except for the fact that she was wrapped around a tree with Sajo Sabaku. "How dare you think you are better than me? My swordsmanship, kido, speed, and zanjutsu are worlds better than yours Fon - -"

"That may be true, but I still own you in the shunpo department you bastard."

"What?" Byakuya could not believe that Soifon had escaped from the tree. "Shihouin Black Ops #3: Utsusemi."

"I know that move as well - -"

"Hadou #31, Shakahou!" The red beam threw Byakuya headfirst towards the trees. With Suzuembachi in tow, easy victory for Soifon right? That is what she thought, but she was wrong. Before Byakuya could remove the rest of his mask, Soifon was already busting out the hax shunpo. "Can you follow me now Kuchiki? Are you finally going to tell me now - -"

A "help me" from Byakuya's normal voice stopped Soifon dead in her tracks. "Whats Kuchiki, done already?" Byakuya was struggling to gain control. "Captain Soifon, you may think that I'm fighting you, but it's the hollow - -"

"Did you hear that Byakuya? She just insulted you - -"

"Get out of my body, I do not want you inhabiting it!"

"That's too bad because I kill anyone that insults me." Byakuya's hollow did not take long to assume complete control, clashing with Soifon and leveling everything around him. "Captain Soifon, use your zanpakuto to kill the hollow." Soifon could not bring herself to do that.

"T-that would mean killing you - -"

"DO IT, I AM NOT AFRAID OF DEATH. I do not want to burden anyone with my problems. Please do it before the hollow takes full - -" Too late for Byakuya as the hollow was the primary power source and unleashed a globe of reiatsu. This was eating at Soifon badly. On one side, she had feelings for Byakuya; perhaps the feelings could prosper. On the other hand, she ALWAYS followed orders. She decided on the latter. When Byakuya had started charging a cero, he already had a black butterfly imprinted on his chest. "Forgive me Byakuya… NIGEKI KESSATSU!" Soifon was going in for the second and fatal stab and Byakuya just stood there, almost as if daring Soifon to do it. Enraged, she branded that second butterfly and fell back, thinking that the job was finished. Byakuya had her fooled again. "Foolish woman, have you not heard of a hollow hole?"

"What?" Byakuya removed his shirt to reveal a hollow hole, sending him into ape mode. "You have made a fool out of me for the last time." Byakuya positioned his zanpakuto for bankai and instead of the usual drop, he jumped in the air about 50 feet and threw his zanpakuto down, engulfing a massive area for the parallel rows of swords. Soifon was paralyzed in fear, even though she was told not to be. For a moment, Soifon had a flashback to when she was sparing with Yoruichi. "Have you noticed anything different about Kuchiki Byakuya?" Soifon told her nothing changed, that he was his usual cold self. "He's a vizard now, and you need to be ready to fight him if that day ever comes." That day has come and Soifon doesn't want to partake in it anymore, growing teary eyed. "I don't want to fight anymore Byakuya. If this is what I have to do to get a simple yes or no answer out of you, then its just not worth it." Hollow Byakuya did not care for any of that. "If you expect me to pray for your pity, then you are sorely going to be disappointed."

"Senkei, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi." The blades came at mach speed, coming too fast for a dejected Soifon, who did not bother evading. The next sound she heard was a scream from a familiar voice that was standing infront of her. "Soifon, get out of here. My Sogyo no Kotowari and I will hold off Byakuya for as long as we can."

"Thank you Ukitake."

Soifon could not go far because of the last thing that Yoruichi told her during their sparring. "If little Byakuya loses control to the hollow, then you must kill him at any cost."

"If you have time to stand there bitch, then you have time to fight me."

"You are not Kuchiki Byakuya; shinigami have pride and you do not." That really was the final straw for Hollow Byakuya." He gathered the petals and had them surround his body all while releasing even more reiatsu.

"Kyuukyokukei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi… Ahnhel de Diablo." The reiatsu that erupted out of Byakuya was unlike anything Soifon has ever experienced. "Bankai!" Soifon had her Suzuembachi bankai raring to go without the building support, dramatically increasing the likelihood that she could land anywhere. It was worth the sacrifice but before she could get her Jakuho Raikoben off, 4 captains and ex Kido Corps Captain Tessai suddenly appeared. "This is my fight, what the hell are you all doing here?"

"Let me kindly remind you that you will die if you try to fight Byakuya right now since he released." As much as Soifon hated to admit it, Urahara had a point. Meanwhile, the smoke cleared and through the smoke appeared Byakuya in his released form; an angelic-like figure with wings, horns and a tail like a devil, and a lance he used as his primary weapon. "More people want to die now? If that is your wish, then I will fulfill that wish for all of you." Byakuya flew up in the air and threw his lance towards the clouds. A combination of lightning and wind was drowning the 'Hill with turbulence. "Let this be the last breath that you take."

"Que callen del cielo, espinas rosadas!" It seemed like hundreds of millions of pink swords came down on the captains. Soifon was far away at this point, but she could still see Soukyoku Hill being engulfed in pink.

50 years passed and Soifon stood on Soukyoku Hill in the late afternoon, looking depressed. From what she heard, Byakuya returned to normal, but immediately fled Soul Society and hadn't been seen in 50 years. Renji took over as interim captain until Byakuya was found. "I guess I'll never know his answer. I wasted my time…" Soifon barely turned around when in what seemed like a second, she felt her lips being kissed by a man in a white hoodie. By the time she turned completely around, that man was long gone. Soifon found herself blushing and about to cry when a piece a paper was on the ground addressed to her. She picked it up and read its contents.

"Was that the best kiss you've ever had?" –Kuchiki Byakuya

Tears rolled down Soifon's eyes as she nodded yes.
