-:-Ok thanks for the reviews viettvnt and Mei Fire. Anyway well school started Monday so I don't know if I'm going to be able to update that much, cause for only being the 3rd day I have had enough homework to last a week, but I will try as hard as I can.

Any who here is chapter 3-:-

Harumi and Tōshirō jumped from building to building, but stopped when they reached the location at which the hollow was at. When they got there they noticed that it was no ordinary hollow…

"It's a menos….!" Hitsugaya said in a confused and shocked kind of way.

"Great." Harumi sighed. "Oh well, the larger they are harder they fall."

Harumi and Tōshirō looked at each other and smirked then pulled out there zanpakutō.

"Set upon the frosted heavens, Hyōrinmaru!" Hitsugaya shouted about to attack the giant hollow that was standing in front of us.

"Light up the sky, Shuurai!" Harumi shouts, releasing her zanpakutō. When she pulled out Shuurai, the yellow hilt was now accompanied with a long white sash that had a small bell at the end. The actual sword was pure white with a slight yellow tint, and the blade is in the shape of a lightning bolt.

Harumi jumped forward, along with Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya attacks first. He slices the air and a giant ice dragon comes pouring from the tip of his blade, attacking the menos. It instantly freezes, and that's when Harumi attacks. Harumi jumps off the building and onto meno's arm. She runs up the length of its arm and up to its head. She brings her sword up above her head, and then her sword starts to glow a bright yellow, like lightning.

"Too bad for you." She declares right before jumping onto the meno's head and stabbing her sword directly in the middle. Right when it made contact a bolt of lightning comes from the sky and hit her sword, causing a powerful voltage of electricity to go flowing through it and causing it to shatter. Harumi's fell to the ground gracefully to meet up with the waiting Tōshirō.

"Easy enough." Harumi smiles and rests her sword on her right shoulder.

"But why are there so many of them? That's what I want to know."

Harumi's smile turns into a slight frown. "Maybe it has something to do with the humans being attack, but yet again, it may not."

Hitsugaya narrows his eyes and glares at his fellow captain. Harumi catches glimpse of this icy glare, it sends shivers down her spine. She blinks a bit, in slight confusion as to why Hitsugaya is being so cold towards her. Nothing could really click in her head as to why, so she just shrugged it off and smiled inwardly.

"Let's go find the others." Harumi said ruffling up Hitsugaya's white hair, then flash stepping off as fast as she could, cause, like everyone knows, he hates when people do that. His eye brow twitched and he balled his fist.

"Why does everyone do that…?" He sighed, eye brow still twitching. He sheathed his sword and then flash stepped to where the others where.

-:-The Next Day-:-

After they destroyed the hollows, everyone went to Urahara's shop for the rest of the day. Everyone had been given a gigai so that they could walk around with the humans. Harumi slipped on a pair of destroyed jean shorts, a black tube top, and a pair of ankle boots. She was about to leave when, none other than Renji, Shūhei and Kira stopped her.

"Where are you off to?" Renji poked.

Harumi sighed and looked back at the three. "Out…." Was her short response to Renji's snooping.

"Out where…?" Shūhei asked, also prying.

Harumi narrowed her eyes and looked at the group of boys behind her. "Must you be so meddlesome? I can handle myself, no need for 'bodyguards'" She didn't wait for a response and she walked out the door.

"I'm leaving too." Renji muttered while casually walking out the door and in the direction that Harumi just went.

"Well I sure ain't going to stay here. I'm going out." Shūhei said to Kira before sticking his hands in his pocket and walking out the door too, but going the other way.

Kira just stood there and blinked a few times. Everyone left him, but that's when he heard some footsteps from behind him. He turns around and see's two small kids, Ururu and Jinta.

"Looks like you got left behind." The red head stated leaning on a broom stick.

Kira scratches the back of his head and smiles sheepishly. "It sure looks like it, huh."

"You can help us clean the shop…."Ururu's petit voice spoke. "…only if you want to though."

"I have really nothing else do to, so why not."

Jinta shifted his weight off the broom and tossed it to Kira. "You can start by helping sweep."

Kira grabbed the broom and followed the kids into the next room to start housework. Back down the street Harumi was walking along the side of a street, window shopping.

"It sure is boring. Is there nothing to do?" Harumi thought while stopping and then sighing. She continued walking and she walked until she reached a playground that overlooked the city bellow. She walked over to the swings and sat on the rubber seat and grabbed the cold metal chains that held it up. Harumi pushed her feet off the ground, kicking some of the soft sand. "What is it about swings that just seem to calm me?" Harumi swung on the swing, being sure not to swing too high. Then out of nowhere she heard rattling of chains coming from beside her. Harumi glanced over and the first thing that caught her eye was red hair pulled up into a ponytail. Renji.

"Renji what are you doing here?" Harumi asked placing her feet back on the ground to stop her swing.

"No reason in particular."

"Ok then." Harumi smiled and began to slightly swing back and forth again.

The two of them sat in silence for quite some time. The only sounds to be heard was the rattling of the chains and the occasionally squeak of the swing. Renji then finally broke the silence.

"So exactly what did you do to become a captain anyway?" Renji asked eyeing his young friend.

Harumi didn't bother to make eye contact; she just kept gazing at the city. "Honestly I don't know. I would have never thought in a million years that they would want me as a captain. I never really cared if I was a captain or not, I was happy on the 3rd seat."

Renji's eyes widened as Harumi said that she didn't really want to be captain. "Do you know how many people would kill to be a Captain!?"

Harumi jumped off her swing and lit it just sling back, almost hitting Renji. She walked over to the hill that sloped down towards the city. She stood at the very top and continued to gaze out.

"I know a lot of other people would die to be captain. I am honored that they actually wanted me, and I'm glad that I am one, but I'm just saying that I wasn't really setting my life to become one." She said turning around to face Renji who was still on the swing. She changed her expression from a serious one to a playful mischievous one. "I bet you're just mad that I became a Captain before you."

Renji look down at the ground, trying to hold in his anger. The only visible signs of anger were his eye brow twitching and the tighter gripping of the chains.

"Oo…looks like I struck a nerve." Harumi giggled.

Renji didn't say anything; he just got up and walked over towards Harumi. His eyes where shaded and his mouth was crooked into a half smile. Harumi covered her mouth with her hand to try and hold back her laughter, but then Renji did the unexpected. He lunged towards Harumi and 'attacked' her. They both tumbled down the hill and when they hit the bottom Harumi just looked blankly at Renji.

"Don't you dare!" She warned.

Renji gave her a evil toothy grin and attacked her sides.

"St…haha….op….Renji! I'm war…hahaha….ning you!" Harumi tried to get out between laughs. See Renji knew that Harumi was super ticklish on her sides, and when they were younger whenever she made him made, he just came back with a tickle attack. Harumi hated being tickled. Harumi was laughing so hard tears started rolling down her cheeks.

"What was that I couldn't understand you?" He mocked as he tickled even harder.

"Haha…Renji please….hahaha…stop…" She tried once again.

Of course he didn't stop, he just kept at it. Harumi has been laughing so long and hard that nothing is even coming out anymore. On the top of the hill a group of familiar friends walked by, Ichigo, Rukia, Hitsugaya and Shūhei to be exact. Rukia was walking closest to the edge of the hill, when she spotted an unusual sight.

"Oh my gosh. Look at who it is!" Rukia smiled pointing down at Renji and Harumi.

All of them ran over to the side and looked down at the bizarre sight. Ichigo couldn't help but to burst out laughing, while the others just sighed in pity.

"Way to go Renji!" Ichigo hollered down at them, mocking the whole situation.

Both of them looked up and saw their friends spying on them. Renji quickly jumped off Harumi, he was sitting on her stomach while tickling her, and Harumi quickly back up…both blushing like crazy. Renji's blush quickly faded because he didn't want to seem like a sissy.

"Shut up Kurosaki!" Renji yelled up to him.

"Renji what were you doing!?" Rukia yelled down to him, a bit irritated.

Renji marched up the hill with his arms crossed and the look of embarrassment was mixed with a fake anger. Harumi followed after him, trying not to make eye contact with any of them. She made it past the group, or at least she thought she did. She felt two hands grab her upper arm and then literally drag her backwards towards the monkey bars.

"Hey what are you doing!?" She called out, still not knowing exactly who was pulling her.

The finally let her go and then spun her around. She met the curious eyes of Rukia and Shūhei.

"What were you and Renji doing….?"Rukia asked shaking Harumi's shoulders.

Harumi blushed a bit. "Weee werenn'ttt doinnggg annyythiing" She said while Rukia shook her.

"It sure didn't look like you were doing nothing, Captain." Shūhei added.

"I made Renji mad, and he tackled me and started tickling me. It's a old thing we did when we were younger. There is nothing between us!" Harumi said a bit annoyed, while shaking Rukia's hands off her.

Rukia and Shūhei just looked at each other with doubtful eyes.

"Sure you say it's nothing now, but what about later?" Rukia said shaking her finger in Harumi's face.

Harumi swatted Rukia's finger and walked away, back down to the city. Rukia and Shūhei just blinked blankly.

"I'm gonna get it later." Shūhei said worriedly trying to think about what his Captain would do. Rukia nodded and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Yes-you-are."

Shūhei sighed and rolled his eyes and head, and then followed Rukia back to where Ichigo and Renji was, and considering Hitsugaya was missing they guessed that he left to be by himself….like always.

"Where is Harumi going?" Renji asked looking behind Rukia and Shūhei at the disappearing figure of Harumi.

Ichigo narrowed his eyes and his mouth curved up to an evil grin. "Why don't you go after your girl…." He cooed.

Renji's anger boiled over and he wacked Ichigo over his head. "Shut the hell up!" He then stormed off, opposite of the way Harumi went.

Ichigo rubbed his head and looked at the others with a look of satisfaction. Rukia just sighed and rolled her eyes then walked off signaling Ichigo and Shūhei to follow. Harumi was walking down the street again just thinking about what just happened.

"Nothing happened. Nothing at all…we are just friends, simple as that. Friends that's it." She thought with a sigh. Harumi again found herself walking down the store filled streets. She was looking in one store when she heard her name being called from behind her.

"HARUMI!"
