Hope you like it!

The story of two hollows: Kitsune and Tanuki

Senkai blinked as she watched the carrot-head fight a redhead. Gaara was sitting next to her, both sitting on a roof in plain sight. "So…what do we do now? I'm bored, again!" The blonde arrancar sighed.

"There's nothing else happening than this battle right now, so what would we do, other than watch this?" Gaara questioned, opening his right eye as several eyes made of sand dissolved at different places in Soul Society. Senkai pouted.

"What about visiting Temari again? Or Sakura, Shikamaru…? I know, we can see if we find more shinigami who were our friends!" Senkai jumped up with a grin, looking somewhat disturbing as the mask covering half her face grinned too with decidedly sharper teeth.

"…Where should we look, for who?" Gaara wondered, raising one eyebrow. Senkai got a thoughtful look. "I…have no idea. But these guys are all in different groups, right? Why don't we find Yoruichi and ask her about them!"

With that, the hyper girl disappeared with a static sound. Gaara sighed. "So impulsive. Wait for me, Senkai!"

"Yoruiiiichi!" Senkai hollered, ignoring Gaara's glare as she looked around for the black cat. "I'm here, I'm here, be silent!" Yoruichi hissed from a dark shadow.

Senkai grinned and leapt over to the cat. "Good! Say, what are the divisions here? We decided to look for more friends, and what divisions there are would probably help to know." She explained. Gaara huffed. "She decided." He grumbled.

Yoruichi rolled her eyes. "I'll explain to you. There are 13 divisions, as you should know. The 1st division has no specialty, but they are the strongest, and often model shinigami. Yamamoto-taicho is their leader. The 2nd division has no specialty either, but works closely with the stealth force, and is recognized as the stealthiest division. Soifon is their leader." The cat sat down, and looked at both arrancars who were listening intently.

"The 3rd division has no specialty, but be wary of Ichimaru Gin-taicho, something is wrong about him. The 4th division is the medical/supply division, and is generally looked down upon, but they're pretty strong. Their leader is Unohana-taicho."

"The 5th division has no specialty, but like with the 3rd, be wary of the leader, Aizen. The 6th division has no specialty, but they're known to strictly follow the rules. Their leader is Kuchiki-taicho."

"The 7th division has no specialty, but they're all very sincere, and a bit too honest at times…their leader is Komamura-taicho. The 8th division has no specialty, and their leader is Kyoraku-taicho, he's horribly lazy, but very strong."

"The 9th division is the security force, as well as art and culture. Their leader is Hisagi. The 10th division has no specialty, and their leader is Hitsugaya-taicho. The 11th division specializes in direct combat with only their swords. Their leader is Zaraki-taicho."

"The 12th division specializes in new Technology and spiritual tools. Researching takes up a lot of their time, and their leader is Kurotsuchi-taicho. Lastly, the 13th division has no specialty, and their leader is Ukitake-taicho. He's almost always sick, but he's strong. You got that all?"

Senkai blinked. "That's a lot of info. But now let's check who might be in what, Gaara!" She grinned, looking at the boy who sighed. "Well, we know Temari is of the 11th. Sakura is from the 4th, and I'd think Shikamaru would be in the 8th. Which other friends would you look for first?" He asked.

Yoruichi listened to this silently, yellow eyes glowing in the dark. Senkai hm-ed. "What about Kakashi? And Sai!" She exclaimed. Gaara nodded. "Well, Kakashi is calm, powerful, and I'd think he might have a zanpakuto with affinity for lightning. Sai…since when did he become your friend anyway? Well, he's emotionless, though sarcastic, silent, and I don't know much else, other than he used ink when alive." He mused.

"I think I've heard of Kakashi before. Tall, silver-haired male with one black, one red eye? He's from the 1st division, in that case. Haven't heard of the other one, though if he's emotionless and silent, he'd probably fit in well with either the 6th or the 2nd division." Yoruichi claimed.

"Oh, cool! Let's try to find them!" Senkai cheered, ducking Gaara's half-hearted attempt to hit her. "Try to be more silent. We'll go after Sai first." He muttered, before blurring away. Senkai waved cheerily to Yoruichi before disappearing too.

"They're just as strange as last night, if not even more!" The black cat muttered.

Gaara scouted out the 2nd division's grounds silently, while Senkai was tapping her fingers impatiently. "Any sign of him?" She demanded. Gaara shook his head. "Not here." He replied, and sighed as Senkai blurred away immediately, before he followed.

"There he is! I knew it!" Senkai exclaimed, though a bit more silent than usually. Gaara stared at the boy in the training grounds.

Short black hair that fell straight down around his ears, emotionless black eyes, and very pale skin. Yep. He was wearing the same type of gloves as when he was alive, and he had customized his shinigami garbs to his liking, cutting one sleeve short, and curiously enough having cut the top to the same length his top were as alive.

"What's with him and always having to expose his middle?" Gaara muttered. Senkai shrugged, and looked at what he was doing. Though he had a sword hanging at his waist, he seemed to work with some drawings instead. "Maybe he's figured out how to convert his jutsu!" Senkai concluded, before leaping down and walking over to the black-haired boy.

Gaara grimaced, irritated, and stayed where he was.

Sai was training, when an unexpected voice yelled at him, and he span around in shock. "Senkai?" He questioned, disbelief coloring his voice. Senkai grinned, ignoring his shocked look. "Yep, it's me alright! Don't mind the hollow mask, I'm still the same Senkai you know! …Knew." She grinned sheepishly.

"I can see that." Sai said dryly, putting away his drawing tools. Senkai looked curiously at him. "Don't you like your sword?" She wondered. Sai shrugged. "I'm more used to a tanto. And I prefer my other techniques." He said.

"…Have you managed to use your jutsu now? I have!" Senkai puffed up her chest childishly, and Sai snorted. "I can use some of them. Mostly my drawings, as they have a medium. Are you alone?" He wondered. Senkai shook her head. "No way, I'd get bored too fast. I'm with Gaara!" She pointed to where Gaara stood with a dissatisfied look upon his face.

"He doesn't look pleased." Sai stated. Senkai shrugged. "Too bad for him. Hey, do you know who else are here? We've met Temari of the sand, Sakura and Shikamaru already." She grinned.

"Kakashi is in the 1st division. Uchiha Itachi is in the 2nd division, and I've seen Hyuuga Neji in the 10th division. I don't know of anyone else. Mind you, there might be some of your friends that aren't shinigami, and then you'll have a hard time finding them." Sai claimed.

Senkai shrugged. "We'll see. Hey Gaara! I know of three more, let's go!" She yelled, blurring away with a static sound once more. Gaara sighed, and Sai smiled lightly when both were gone.

"Hollows, here?" Kakashi narrowed his eyes as he looked around in the air, only to gape behind his mask as a certain blonde girl barreled into him. "Kakashi-sensei!" She exclaimed happily, and the silver-haired man blinked, confused.

"I think he's shocked, Senkai. You don't have to shock his wits out of him." Kakashi looked up to see Gaara floating in mid-air, with a fragment of a hollow mask on his face.

He looked down to the girl crushing him in a hug, and was surprised to see a hollow mask covering half her face. "Before you go and attack us, we're arrancar, not hollow, and we're nice!" Senkai grinned, letting go of her teacher.

"Arrancar? Is that another evolution?" Kakashi drawled, standing somewhat slouched, but with his hand on his zanpakuto. "Yep. We're some of the strongest! …Well, I haven't met any others." Senkai admitted, scratching the back of her head.

Gaara sighed. "It seems quite many turned into shinigami." He stated, tilting his head. Kakashi nodded. "Indeed. Though I'm fairly certain there are hollows from our time too." He mused. Senkai stared at him for a moment. "Wow, you look strange without the headband, sensei!" She exclaimed suddenly.

Gaara and Kakashi palmed their faces.

"Anyway, we're off to see Itachi! Bye, Kakashi-sensei!" Senkai grinned, waved, and was gone, again. Gaara sighed. "Excuse me, but were she this crazy when you trained her too?" He demanded. Kakashi chuckled. "Yup. Now go along, wouldn't want Yamamoto-taicho to find you. He's kind of prejudiced against hollows."

"Noted."

"You are dismissed." Soifon's cold voice said as she looked at Itachi with a bored expression. He nodded calmly, eyes betraying nothing as he left, coming out to the training grounds of the 2nd division.

"He may be on a mission." A voice said, and Itachi blinked, somehow recognizing the deadpan tone. "I don't think so! Besides, he's always where there is trouble, so since it's trouble here in Soul Society, he'll be here." Another louder, and somewhat more feminine, voice exclaimed.

The black-haired Uchiha turned quickly, and blinked in surprise as he saw Sabaku no Gaara and Uzumaki Senkai. "So you were alive after all. Hollows, it seems. Not surprising by the amount of evil power you both carried." He said calmly.

Senkai span around and grinned. "Itachi!" She yelled, flying onto him and hugging him. He smiled slightly. "Yes, that is still I. You should be more silent, Senkai." He chastised.

"That's boring. Both of you continue talking about being silent all the time, but I can take care of anything that comes my way!" Senkai grinned, grabbing a hold of her sword.

"I know that. What are you doing here? And for that matter, how do you have humanoid forms, I was unaware hollows were able to have so." Itachi said curiously. "We are arrancar. We have evolved, you could say." Gaara supplied silently.

"And we're here because we're looking for friends! Hueco Mundo is awfully boring, so we came here for fun first." Senkai claimed, scratching the back of her head. Itachi smiled slightly and turned to Gaara. "Tell me, is it you who have made her talk without cursing every second word?" He asked.

Senkai looked affronted, while Gaara chuckled. "It would seem so." He nodded. Itachi shifted his eyes as he sensed Soifon's presence coming briskly towards them.

"If you do not wish to be discovered, you better leave now. Taicho is on her way." He warned. Senkai blinked, and pouted. "Damn. Well, see ya! Don't get your ass kicked by anyone before we can spar, I'll take you down this time!" She claimed, before blurring away.

Gaara nodded. "Unfortunately, she still uses some of her lesser curses. I'm still working on it." He smirked, before following the blonde.

Itachi sighed inaudibly just as Soifon came out. "Why are you still here?" She questioned, raising an eyebrow. Itachi smiled calmly. "I was thinking. My apologies, I will leave now." He said with a slight bow before disappearing.

"Who's there?" Hyuuga Neji asked out in the air, white eyes shifting slightly. Matsumoto Rangiku looked at him with a surprised look. "Neji, who're you talking to?" She asked curiously. He narrowed his eyes.

"There's someone close. Someone unknown." He said in clipped tones. The orange-haired woman sighed. "Neji, you're too uptight! It's probably just some new shinigami, that's all." She waved his concerns away. He turned his deadpan gaze to her.

"Hitsugaya-taicho is right, you are too …happy." He droned. Rangiku laughed, and then stopped and blinked in confusion as she heard another laugh and the sound of someone hitting someone.

"Ow! Geez, what was that for?" A female voice said as a girl with a red jogging suit, blonde hair in pigtails, a zanpakuto and half a hollow mask over her face landed on the ground.

"Senkai?" Neji asked, incredulously. Rangiku blinked in confusion. "You know her?" She wondered. Neji nodded slowly. Senkai blinked a couple of times, and grinned. "Neji! Long time no see! …I dunno how long though." She scratched the back of her head, as a redhead landed beside her.

He had a red cloak-like jacket, black pants, grey armor, a zanpakuto, and a fragment of a hollow mask over his ear. Rangiku looked curiously at them. "Oh, are you hollows?" She questioned blankly. Senkai shook her head. "No, no! We're arrancar, and I'm nice! …Gaara's mean though. He hit me!" She pouted.

Neji sighed. "Why me?" He muttered. Gaara raised one eyebrow. "Do you know how many times I've asked that question?" He asked rhetorically. Neji blinked slowly, and smirked slightly.

"So, arrancar 1 and 2, who are you?" Rangiku asked with a smile. Neji glanced incredulously at her. "I'm Uzumaki Senkai, that's Sabaku no Gaara. We're Neji's friends! …Well, we were. Somewhat…to be true, Gaara was his leader, while I…what was I to you, Neji?" Senkai blinked.

"Annoying little sister-figure. And you were over me in rank as well." He replied calmly. Senkai nodded, spiky pigtails bobbing up and down. "That's right! Anyway, who're you, shinigami?" She looked at Rangiku who grinned.

"I'm Matsumoto Rangiku, Hitsugaya-taicho's trusty lieutenant and beauty extraordinaire!" She introduced herself. Neji palmed his face. "Save me." He grumbled. Gaara quirked his lips in a smirk, and lifted his eyebrow. "And how would we do that? We're technically enemies." He pointed out.

"Yeah! Let's spar!" Senkai suddenly exclaimed. Gaara hit her on the head, again. "Don't be stupid. While Matsumoto might be nice, and we know Neji, there are other shinigami here that most likely will not tolerate arrancar." He drawled with a small glare.

Senkai deflated with a pout. "No fair. Well, maybe carrot-top and the other guy are done fighting now? Let's go and check! Bye Neji, Rangiku!" She waved enthusiastically and disappeared with sonido. Gaara shrugged. "I'm not leaving her alone in this place. It'd be turned upside down." He chuckled, and followed.

"Neji! Why didn't you say you had such cool friends?" Rangiku demanded. Neji glared flatly at her. "I didn't know whether they were hollows, shinigami, or something entirely else until now. Why would I tell you of people I had mostly forgotten?" He replied.

"How can you forget your little sister?" The orange-haired shinigami asked, shocked.

Neji sighed.

"Oh…he's not here. Let's find him!" Senkai said, dropping to all fours and sniffing the ground. Gaara looked faintly disturbed. "You're not a dog, Senkai." He pointed out.

"Correct. I'm a fox." She grinned, and looked up from the ground. "Found his scent tracks! Come on!" The blonde arrancar said, and began running on all fours, having surprising agility and speed. Gaara ran after, fully using his 'ninja-speed'.

"Ichigo! S-Someone's coming!" Hanataro stuttered, glancing around. Ichigo scowled, rising up and taking a hold of his zanpakuto. "Well, I'm ready for them!" He decided, before wincing slightly.

"N-No, you mustn't! You'll r-rip open your wounds!" The cowardly shinigami shook his head. Ichigo scoffed.

"Hah, I found him! Who's a dog, hm? Foxes are way better than dogs anyway." A blonde with a strange mask similar to Ichigo's grinned in triumph as she rose from where she had skidded to a stop on all fours.

"There is a difference between a normal fox and a demon fox, Senkai." Another voice drawled, as a redhead stopped right on the spot.

"Oi, who are you guys?" Ichigo demanded. The blonde looked up. "I'm Senkai, that's Gaara. So what's your name, carrot-top? I've been wondering since yesterday!" She exclaimed. Ichigo scowled.

"It's Ichigo, not carrot-top. You aren't shinigami, what are you?" He wondered. Hanataro shivered. "T-They're hollows!" He stuttered. Senkai blinked. "Arrancar. We've got a bit more power, less berserk-ness and I got more of my own mind back!" She punched the air.

"Hey! It's you!" Ganju pointed at the two arrancar. Senkai blinked. "…Oh, you're the ugly guy. I thought you'd been defeated by that 'pretty-shinigami' guy." She admitted, looking at her claw-like nails. Ichigo snorted.

"While it is all fun and whatnot to see you all argue, Ichigo needs to rest, or his wounds will not heal properly, am I right, shinigami? We are merely here because Senkai wants amusement, we're not here to help, nor hinder, but we'll be here." Gaara said silently.

Senkai glared at him. "Don't be so mean. But yeah, what he said!" She nodded. Ichigo shrugged. "Fine. Just don't get in my way." He warned, before slumping down to sit.

"Will do!"

So, now they've met more friends...what did you think about that? Were the divisions/squads fitting for those persons?
