I haven't updated in a while, and I have to go to bed right now, so I'll stop here. Sorry if it seems rushed, it is. I really wanted to get into the plot that I finally have an idea for. So yeah. Reviews appreciated, especially what you think of the new characters. Catch ya later.

I'm back and I still don't own Bleach.

"So, you're moving?" Tsukiyo asked his white haired friend who had her barefeet hanging in a river. He swished his own feet back and forth through the clear blue water, causing ripples in the smooth reflection.

"Yes. To the human world." Kori answered in a solemn voice, void of any emotion. She had told the boy sitting next to her everything her mother had told her only minutes before.

"Only for a few days right?" The young Hitsugaya asked, a little bit of desperate hope hidden in his voice. He already knew the answer though. Kori wouldn't be acting like this if she was only going to be gone for a few days, but he was still hopeful. But, just as he thought, the girl shook her head.

"My mom said it could be months."

"Months!" The boy roared. He had adopted many traits from his father, a short temper being one of them. "That's ridiculous! Why? Was it because of that black fire? Because that's being taken care of! I can promise her that! The stealth force and the department of research and development are taking care of it! There's nothing to fear!"

Kori just shrugged, acting indifferent to the situation. "She never said." Her lack of emotion sent her angered friend into a small tirade.

"God! Why do you always act so emotionless when there is a problem like this! You act like it doesn't matter to you! Why?" The girl just shrugged again. "Kori!"

The other young teen snapped as well, anger flushing her voice that had been void of feelings before."Why do I act like this? Because if I don't act like this, I'm going to end up crying my eyes out! Do you think I want to go?" Hot, heated tears of frustration and anxiety spilled from her eyes. The droplets rolled down her cheeks, to her chin and fell into the water. But the ripples the tears caused were broken by the larger rings eminating from Kori's legs, her whole body was shaking with the emotions that suddenly robbed her of her composure. "You don't get how much it hurts! I have to go live without my friends all because of some stupid weird black fire thing! There are two ex-Espada living with us, Grimmjow and my parents are up to something, and no one will tell me what the hell is happening except for the little fact we're leaving!"

Tsukiyo was taken back, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't. He didn't know what to say, and even if he did, the girl hadn't given him enough time before she had stood and ran.

"Hokori!" Tsukiyo flipped himself so he was on his hands and knees, arm outstretched, as if he could catch her now. When he went to pull his foot from the water, something dragged it back a bit. He looked back with a very unhappy, questioning face. A spare arm on the aquatioc vine of a lily pad had wrapped itself around his ankle, and held it there. "How did that happen?"

Without any warning, the water weed rapidly crawled up the boys leg, all the way to his thigh, and started pulling. "What the hell?" The boy cried out, a bit alarmed. But that wasn't the end of the weed's strange actions, little spikes sprouted from the green and dug into the white haired reaper's peachy flesh, and a sharp tug pulled him into the water. He let out a yell of surprise, and his eyes fell on the creature that must have been causing the peculiar behavior and abilities of the lily vine.

A big, bony, head was half emerged from the water. Red eyes staring at Tsukiyo, a hungry want in them. Vines hung off the white head and let little thorns hang off their sides.

"I'm kind of happy you're underwater, now I don't have to see your ugly face." Tsukiyo sneered as he reached for his zanpakuto that was usually at his side. But his hand just gripped empty space. He turned an alarmed stare to his side, seeing that his sheath wasn't there. He looked back towards the bank, and saw his zanpakuto.

'I should be able to reach if I-' He jumped, arm reaching to it's full extent in attempt to grab his sword. When his blade was inches from his fingers, a green rope whipped his hand and snatched up his weapon before he even got a finger on it. The vine then chucked the zanpakuto into the center of the river, letting it sink into the murky depths. "No!"

"Don't worry boy. Your bones will be with it soon." An eerie voice said. The vine that was wrapped around Tsukiyo's leg started pulling him down further, and the boy's shaky hands weren't able to pull his leg free of the entrapment.

Even with his ears underwater, he could hear the malicious laugh of the creature drowning him.

Hokori burst through her front door, and didn't slow down while bolting through the living room, passing the adults. Worried calls of her name followed her, but she ignored them as she ran straight to her room. Once she was in there, she still didn't stop. She grabbed a suitcase her father had put in there for her and started shoving things into it. The few clothes she had gotten from her family in the human world, a couple books, and the necklace Tsukiyo had given her the night of the blackfire. She looked at the red crescent closely, and really noticed the black figure in the center of it. It looked like a little star, and black speckles in the scarlet gem looked like dust.

Without any further examination, the girl dropped it into her case and zipped it up. She sat on the mattress in her room and looked around her own personal dwelling. It was a mix between modern day human world and the never changing Soul Reaper style. Some things, like the straw mat and hand fans represented the Soul Reaper side of her, while things Ichigo brought back from the human world, such as the mattress ,the one Kori was sitting on now, that sat on a tatami mat. And plenty other trinkets were littered over the wooden furniture.

She pulled a picture off of her bookshelf and looked at the glossy image. She was standing with Izuke, Haruko, Akemi, and Tsukiyo, smiles on everyone's face.

"Why are you so upset?" She asked herself. "You're going to come back."

"Right?"
