Trouble with Fire

Normal POV

"KAA-SAN?" Kasumi and Shinsetsu yelled. Kasumi and Shinsetsu's mother was Shimiko Watsaru, who abandoned Kasumi when Shinsetsu was born. She had knee-length light brown hair and amethyst eyes, which she had passed on to Kasumi. She wore a tattered cloak, and her zanpakuto was at her side. She turned, eyes bored.

"Ah, Shinsetsu and Kasumi, you have grown. I was looking for you, but looks like you found me first." Shimiko said, evil tainting her words.

"What do you want? You abandoned us! You don't deserve anything from us!" Shinsetsu yelled, drawing Benitsuki, her zanpakuto.

"How rude. My own daughter is being oh so mean." Shimiko sneered. Kasumi glared at her, Kasumi's hand on Yukihime just in case. Shimiko smiled wickedly.

"I've come for you guys to experiment something on you stupid creatures. Now you are to come with me or I'll take you by force. Got that?" Shimiko smiled wider. It was a fake smile though. Shimiko drew her zanpakuto, making Shinsetsu charge without releasing Benitsuki.

"Never!" Shinsetsu shouted and swiped at Shimiko who dodged and tried to pierce Shinsetsu in the stomach. Shinsetsu deflected and sent a sweep kick to trip Shimiko but she dodged again. Shimiko sent a kick to Shinsetsu, who was crashed into a building.

"SHINSETSU!" Kasumi yelled, running over to her. But she was stopped as Shimiko came in front of her. "Don't forget about me!" Shimiko said.

"Sing, Yukihime!" Kasumi yelled, her pink streaks turning white and her eyes becomina an electrifying blue. She held the kunais in her hand and mouth, and her shikakusho became white with a silver outline. Kasumi charged and threw the kunai.

"First Song: Snow Torrent!" The kunai burst and a huge wave of snow flew at top speed toward Shimiko. The voice of Yukihime was stronger and more clear, and words could be heard. It sang-

The riddles of snow...

Find them from the crow...

As it swoops low...

Run...run...run...

In every song...

Nothing is wrong...

Find the gong...

Run...run...run...

The only reason it was heard and words were eligible was because Kasumi had poured more reiatsu in it. The wave of snow was faster, colder, and bigger. It froze whatever it touched. Shimiko took out her zanpakuto and released it.

"Trick, Maboroshi..." (A/N: Maboroshi means 'illusion'.)

The snow wave disappeared, and Kasumi was in a desolate forest. The moon gave off an eerie glow, and an owl hooted somewhere far off. It was freezing; Kasumi was standing in her shinigami attire, her haori, but Yukihime was missing. Shinsetsu was also missing, and Kasumi ran around calling her name.

"My, my, Kasumi, don't yell." Kasumi glared up at the voice of the person to see none other than Shimiko. Kasumi clenched her fists; she was scared, but she didn't want to admit it. She couldn't get to Yukihime in her mind, and it felt like she was being blocked off.

"Die!" Kasumi yelled in outrage and charged. In an instant she was pinned to a tree with Shimiko holding her by her neck. No matter how much Kasumi struggled, she couldn't get out. She was losing air fast.

"Kasumi, you are not stronger than me." Shimiko whispered, but almost immediatley the forest was torn away and it revealed that it was just an illusion. Kasumi stood a few feet away, released from Shimiko's grip.

"Are you sure?"

Elsewhere

As soon as the alarm rang, Matsumoto and Toushiro ran outside. While scouring for the enemy, he came upon what looked like a girl with short orange hair and wore a patched up cloak. She held a zanpakuto in hand.

"You are not to pass. Shimiko-sama has not finished her business." She said in monotone. Her zanpakuto was held ready in her hand, as if readying herself to fight.

"Let me through." Toushiro said coldly and as harsh as he could. He glared at the girl, she actually seemed pretty harmless. What a stupid thought.

"I'm the master of fire, one of the Elemental Four. The name's Fire. I want to know who you are before you die. So, you are?" She asked.

"Toushiro Hitsugaya, captain of the Tenth Division, part of the Gotei 13." Toushiro replied.

"Overheat, Hihana!" She yelled. (A/N: Hihana means Fireflower)

Her zanpakuto became a blood-red flower that she held in her hand. Heat emanated from it, making it already feel hot. The center of the flower glowed a bright orange, and fire spewed out of it on command it seemed.

"Entwining Fire!" The girl yelled. Throwing the flower at Toushiro, she hit the ground near him. Withdrawing Hyourinmaru, he was about to release him until the flower melted into the ground. Up rised the flower, but this time larger and the stem was blazing with fire. It entwined around Toushiro and he was soon in a column of fire. He released Hyourinmaru.

"Set upon the frosted heavens, Hyourinmaru!" Toushiro yelled while holding up Hyourinmaru. Water spewed from the top and went up to the sky, and soon came down a dragon, a chinese dragon of ice. Directing Hyourinmaru around the column of fire, the column evaporated and Toushiro could get out. A shadow fell over him and he saw Fire jumping over him.

"Fiery Fist!" The flower in her clenched fist, it emitted a lot of fire, engulfing Fire's fist and she punched down toward Toushiro. Too late to dodge, he got hit in his side. The fire burnt him strongly, and he yelled in pain. A big burn spot formed on his side, and Hyourinmaru in dragon form came over and breathed on it. It felt better, but it didn't go away. Toushiro tried to reach for his zanpakuto, but Fire came over and kicked it away.

"What a weak captain." She said, and held her two fists up. "Twin Fire Dragon Fi-" Fire was interrupted as she let out a scream of pain while holding her leg. A kunai was lodged in it, blood-red with black here and there. Toushiro could feel the heat emanate from it. Toushiro looked behind her to see Shinsetsu limping, kunais in her hand.

"Shinsetsu! What happened to Kasumi?" Toushiro asked frantically. He was worried over her welfare.

"Onee... chan... she's... caught in... Kaa-san's... illusion..." Shinsetsu muttered. She was on the verge of collapsing.

"What happened to you, Shinsetsu?" Toushiro asked, worried about her also.

"Kaa-san... threw me... into... a building... rocks... collapsed on... me... but I got out... and sensed Onee-chan... but Yukihime... Onee-chan's... zanpakuto... told me to... go after you... since... you were in... danger... and... Onee-chan would... be alright..." Shinsetsu leaned on what looked like the remains of a building and breathed deeply.

"You... How dare you damage me with my own element?" Fire yelled and ran at Shinsetsu with the kunai still in her leg. Shinsetsu smiled, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.

"First Silence: Kunai Spike..." Shinsetsu murmured. It was true that it was silent as the kunai grew long, sharp spikes around itself. Fire screamed again, louder and more piercing and blood-curdling. Blood spurted from her leg and she fell over. Picking up her blood-red flower, Fire threw it near the ground at her leg.

"He-Healing Fire..." Fire murmured. The fire worked at her leg, carefully removing the bloodied kunai. The hole where the kunai was closed up, and soon Fire stood up.

"You can't kill me..." Fire said lowly, anger tainting her words. Toushiro struggled up, leaning on Hyourinmaru for support.

"TWIN FIRE DRAGON FISTS!" Fire yelled, fire engulfing her fists and forming into the shape of the head of a dragon. She charged at Shinsetsu, who closed her eyes as if accepting that she was going to die.

"Second Song: Mermaid's Tears!"
