A/N: Hope you like the re-written version! I changed and tweaked a few things here and there, just so you know! I Do Not Own Bleach, but I really wished I did. Yuki is my character, copyright infringement will not be tolerated.
Yuki and Kisuke unsheathed their swords, and prepared to spar. Urahara took the offensive position, while Yuki took a defensive stance. A calm silence fell over them, but before any of them could move a muscle, the alarm rang throughout the Seretei. Two Hell butterflies came and perched themselves in their shoulders. The Soutaicho's voice was resonating in both of their heads.
"Former Captain of Squad 12, Kisuke Urahara and Substitute Shinigami, Yuki Kinomoto are hereby assigned to eliminate the small invading hollow force in the 62 Rukongai District.."
Yuki looked at Kisuke, who gave her the same confused look.
"I wonder why you were assigned, since you are a former captain," asked Yuki.
Urahara sighed," I guess they're short on staff,"
As always, Yuki just went along with it. The both of them set off to the 62nd Rukongai District. Quickly flash stepping their way through the Seretei's gate, they entered a forest. None of them had spoken much after the Hell butterflies message. Yuki was confused about the sudden assignment and the Head Captain's decision of sending her. Kisuke was disturbed by the choice of the Head Captain too. They reached the end of the forest, and came to a small valley with a town on fire. A group of Gillians with Adjuchas were burning the town and eating its citizens.
"Let's split up, shall we?" asked Kisuke,
"Agreed,"
They both split, each taking half of the group of hollows.
"Oh, a shinigami? This will be very interesting," laughed one of the hollows,
"I wouldn't underestimate your opponent," smirked Kisuke, "Sing, Benehime,"
In a quick flash of red, the hollows were immediately killed.
Meanwhile in Yuki's side...
Yuki had just stopped in front of the group of hollows. Most of them were Gillians but there was an Adjucha leading them. He looked like a snake with a rams skull for a mask. His voice was deep and booming. When he saw Yuki blocking his path, he let out a spine-chilling chuckle.
"So, the Sereitei sends a little girl to do their dirty work? How pitiful!" He chuckled,
Yuki looked at him with a blank expression on her face, which darkened and then changed into a bothered glare,
"First of all, let's get some things straight. A) I'm not doing their dirty work, I prefer to call it cleaning and b) Who are you calling a little girl! For your information, I'm older than I look, approximately 50 years,"
The hollow had shut up, realising how much poison seethed in her voice. Out of nowhere, a Gillian came up behind her and attacked. Without looking behind her, Yuki flash stepped behind the hollow and decapitated it easily. All of the hollows took a step back, the weakest starting to tremble in fear.
"W-Who are you?" asked an Adjucha, fearfully,
Yuki thought about it for a moment and then smiled "I'm Yuki Kinomoto, Substitute Shinigami."
Then she unsheathed her sword, and muttered with her eyes closed,
"Pray, Shi no Niwa,"
Her sword suddenly glowed aqua and the blade extended and became extremely thin, and then into a ebony chord with a eighth note attached to the handle. Then the handle became a conductors baton(A/N: Orchestra not the Band one). When the hollows saw that it was just a chord he smirked.
"A string? You intend to fight us with a string? How pathetic!" he laughed.
She looked at him and gave him a small wistful smile,
"Don't judge a book by its cover," she told him,
Suddenly, he felt a couple of sharp stabs and slashes all around his body. He looked down and saw pitch black instrument strings quickly wrapping around him. He panicked and looked at her. He saw her just standing there, giving the same wistful smile, but something was different. He saw that the string had disappeared from the handle, but somehow, he knew that the strings around him were that cord. And then, a string wrapped itself around his neck and then with a sharp pull, slashed his neck and broke his bones. The hollow had only time to register the pain before dissipating. The rest of the hollows backed away and stopped their fates unknown. More hollows were coming and adding to the large numbers of enemies.
I have to take care of them, and fast, she thought. But then she felt a sudden rush of energy and a voice on the back of her mind telling her something.
Use what you learned during your sleep, my dear. That is the key to your future.
Yuki somewhat understood what she meant and closed her eyes. She muttered a few words under her breath. Suddenly, she was covered by a dark blue and black reiatsu. Moments later, the reiatsu dispersed and there stood Yuki in a black strapless dress that only barely reached her knees. On one hand, she had a violin with sharp looking edges while on the other one, she held an instrumental bow with metal strings instead of the usual horse hairs. She looked at them with cold frown, very out of character for her, and she disappeared. The hollows started to frantically look around until they saw her behind them, smiling very over sweetly.
"Ciao!"
A second later, all of the hollows felt slashes all over their bodies, spilling their blood and purifying the tainted souls.
Kisuke looked over at Yuki's side and his eyes widened. He saw her disappear and reappear, and the hollows dying several seconds later. His sense told him that this was a greater power than Yuki's usual shikai. He immediately knew it was her Bankai.
Interesting, I wonder when she could have learned to release her Bankai.
He headed towards where she was standing to check out the scene of destruction. He flash stepped all the way towards her and then stood behind her. His eyes became wider as he saw the scene up close. The area seemed to be clean and bloodless, perhaps even better than the state they found it in. Yuki turned to look at him with confused eyes and back in her old outfit. Kisuke knew when he saw her eyes that she herself didn't know where she learned how to do it.
"Yuki-chan, let's just go back to Seretei and report back to the Commander, OK?" he asked her.
She nodded, still confused. They headed off to the Seretei in a hurry, hopiong to just forget what had happened today.
A/N: Just a note, Shinoniwa means "Death Garden" and sorry about leaving out some parts like the Bankai's name, I just didn't want to spoil the deets until later in the story were it can be fully appreaciated. Anyways, Please Read and Review, ESPECIALLY REVIEW, I need reviews and Bad...
