cheel: Well, thanks for those reviews! Arigato gozaimasu! Sorry for the late update, my monitor was kinda broken. Sadly... That is... So, I don't own Bleach! Thank you so much for bearing up with me. Here goes nothing!

4. Tenshi-Hime

"Sakurai-sama." the 5th division fukotaichou called,

"Ah, Hinamori-fukotaichou. Anou, not the sama please, just the san." said Himeno as she looked at her fukotaichou,

"Anou, Sakurai-san, I am to attend a meeting with other taichou-tachi. Is it OK if you accompany me as well? Anou, we were told to bring our fukotaichou, but for my case, my 3rd seat, that is." said Momo with pleading eyes,

"Sure Hinamori-fukotaichou. It would be an honor to be able to attend the meeting." said Himeno as she smiled,

"Well then, thank you Sakurai-san! Anou, the meeting would be later afternoon." said Momo as she left and proceeded to her paperwork,

"Hmmmm... I'll train for the moment..." said Himeno as she went to the 5th division's training grounds.

Byakuya was in his division doing paperwork when he sensed a high amount of reiatsu being released.

'Dare' was all he could think. This captain-level amount of reiatsu must belong to someone who can nearly achieve bankai, or perhaps, might have achieved it.

But then, it came from the 5th Division's Training Grounds. He glanced at Renji, who was doing his own paperwork.

"Doushite ka, Taichou?" Renji asked.

"Ieee. Betsuni. You may continue on you paperwork." Byakuya replied monotonously as he stood up and went out for a bit. It seems his curiosity was at its peak, that he wanted to look at the owner of this amount of reiatsu. His curiosity might have been really enough to let him stay out of his paperwork.

Quickly, he shunpo'd towards the 5th Division Training Grounds, only to see the unexpected.

Meanwhile, Himeno was trying to compress her reiatsu, but she needed more training to achieve bankai status. She sighed and sat down on the ground for a moment.

She called unto her zanpakutou,

"Tenshi-hime!"

And a woman with a halter-type of dress with curly brown locks, appeared before her.

"Nandemonai desu, Himeno-sama?" Tenshi-hime asked her wielder,

"Moushikaneru, Tenshi-hime. But then, can we practice again on how to achieve bankai?" Himeno asked,

"Eh? Ah hai, Himeno-sama." Tenshi-hime said as a couple of feathers appeared,

"Again, Himeno-sama. These are feathers. Among them is your bankai. Only that feather can protect you from my attacks." Tenshi-hime reminded her master,

"Sou ka desu. I expect the best from you Tenshi-hime, after all, once I achieve bankai, I can use those attacks. If I am not wrong?" Himeno asked as she started,

"Hai, Himeno-sama." Tenshi-hime agreed as she attacked the 3rd Seat of the 5th Division.

Nonetheless, while all of these were happening, Byakuya was merely observing from a distance. And as soon as he was able realize that she was trying to achieve her bankai, he continued on observing. He wanted to see how long it would take Himeno to achieve her bankai status, especially since she was already able to materialize her zanpakutou.

He smirked as he saw that she was defending herself from her zanpakutou's blows. Tenshi-hime was it. He shook his head and went back to his division now that he knew that it was indeed his fiancèe who was practicing.

He smirked once again while a puzzled Renji was looking at his taichou.
