Howdy HO! Well here's chappy twoz!

Hinata vision

"Hey! You! Are you alright?" A voice asks. I look up to see a white haired boy with blue green eyes. I nod numbly at him. The boy looked past me and walked by without a second glance.

I get to my feet and turn around to also face the creature that just tried to kill me. I hadn't gotten much chance to take a closer look. A bleach white skull head, long clawed ligaments, a hole in its chest. I'd never seen anything like it. The creature hissed at us. Or at least at the person who interfered in it's lunch.

"Stay behind me." The boy said to me.

"H-Hai." I stuttered. I studied him. Close to my height, hair even lighter than Kakashi-sama's, dark blue green eyes, tanned skin, and furrowed brows. He reminded me a bit of Sasuke and Shikamaru in that he didn't seem like he smiled much.

Certainly nothing like my….Naruto-kun… I looked over my shoulder, back towards my friends for the first time since I died only a minute ago. Of course none of them could see me. I guessed they couldn't see the monster either now since they weren't looking this way or paying it any attention. Kiba is holding my cold body, looking in disbelief at it. Naruto is shaking with anger and sadness, Sakura is holding his hand trying to console him…

Shino is standing near by not moving. Everyone else is hanging on the fringes crying or trying to hold back tears. Neji-niisan is off on a mission with his team. Though things had gotten better between us I wondered how he would've reacted if he was here right now.

Strange that I can already think of my death so calmly now. I turned back to my current reality. I just notice, but the boy is holding a blade in his hands. I activate my byakugan. My vision is overwhelmed by the image of a dragon. I switch off the byakugan immediately and wait for a headache to go away.

Just who is he? And what is going on? I wonder.

"Stay behind me." I barked at the girl, keeping my eyes on the hollow. Certainly a nasty looking one. And strong.

"H-hai." A soft voice stutters. It takes me a second to realize that it came from the girl.

I wonder how a soft voiced girl like this could become a ninja. The thought is boggling. Obviously the hollow killed her, but as a ninja couldn't she have at least dodged it? Either a weak ninja or a stupid one. I keep my eyes on the hollow. As always any wrong move could put someone in danger. I wondered how such a strong hollow had managed to be overlooked by the soul society for so long.

Not only that… but how did it manage to kill a living person? Several people saw it as well. It wasn't just because they're ninja. The hollow became a flesh and blood living being if only for a few seconds. I kept Hyourinmaru in ready position. Any sign of attack ready to be fought.

'Strange.' I heard Hyourinmaru commented drily.

'What is?' I mentally asked.

'Don't you notice something off about the girl?'

'The girl? If you haven't noticed I can't afford to be distracted about some dead spirit.'

'Some dead spirit?' Hyourinmaru chuckled. 'Just wait til later.'

I let the conversation end though I had a few more questions. I hear laughing. It's the hollow.

"What's so funny?" I ask gripping my zanpakto tighter.

"You." A voice behind me hisses. I turn my head to see another hollow behind me.

How'd I not sense it?! I question staring at the new arrival. The girl also looks at it surprise.

"Now, Mr. Reaper… even though you are strong…" The second hollow hisses"…how can you protect a new spirit from two of us at once? Even you must realize…" It pauses for a breath again,"…that we are stronger than you originally….gave credit for."

I pause for a second and ask. "What do you want?"

The first hollow hisses. "How about a deal?"

The girl is looking at the nearby hollow with revulsion. Not surprising though.

Hinata vision

I looked at the boy again. Mr. Reaper?? Who is he? I examine the second monster, despite the instinct to try to not attract attention. It isn't as big as the first one but even uglier. It too has a skull head, but its body is twisted, especially its neck. Its spine is visible and like the other there is a hole in its midsection. It reeked of rotten meat, and its huge feet were only knobs covered in rags. Despite its sorry appearance I felt terrified of it.

"A deal?" The boy asked coldly.

"Yessss."

I shook as the second creature slowly turned its head toward me, neck twirling back and forth, spinning its head. I could hear the spine cracking sickeningly.

"You go back to…your headquarters and let us go. We… won't kill anyone else here. Both win." It rasped. I felt a chill inside me. I didn't like where this was going.

The white haired boy glanced at me. "And the girl?"

Pause.

The creature's chuckles gurgled as they came out of the mask and I felt my knees shake. A horrible disgusting fear filled me.

I…no… how can this be happening?! Just this morning I was training with my father and saying good morning to my little sister Hanabi. Yesterday I was just talking with my friends and looking forward to today! This can't be real! After everything I've been through…how can I just become some monster's food?! I felt like falling to the ground. Wanting to scream and cry. To wring my hair out. Go insane. Anything to not face this. I'm such a coward. I thought I became stronger, I was going to prove I had grown. That I was worthy to be called a Hyuuga, a brave kunoichi. And yet! My shoulders shook.

"No deal!" The words rang in my ears. I looked up in surprise at the boy.

Toushiro vision**

The hollow chuckled, the sound gurgled in a sickeningly horrid way. I felt instant disgust toward these beasts. There's no way I'm-

'You always could…' Hyourinmaru's voice mumbled in my head.

'What?!' I turn my anger toward my zanpakto. 'What are you saying?'

Hyourinmaru's voice had the sound of a shrug. 'Well, really the option is there. As you said before that girl's 'just another dead spirit'. Besides these two hollow are odd.'

I ignored my zanpakto's sound reason. I look over at the girl, for once a good look. Short dark hair that was indigo on the highlights, pale skin, light lavender grey eyes. A baby faced girl. Her eyes were locked in shock on the second hollow. I could see her shoulders shaking, knees knocking. How anyone could have let such a fragile girl become a ninja was beyond me. Her eyes looked full of sadness. I knew then that I couldn't do such a heartless thing. Not to her.

I looked back at the first hollow and glare at it. "No deal!" I yelled. "I refuse to play your games."

The first hollow snickered. "So be it." A black cloud engulfed the two hollow and I felt strong pressures from them. These weren't ordinary hollow. Far from normal.

But they don't look like any of the higher level hollow. What exactly is going on here?

Hinata vision

"So be it."

A black mist surrounds the two monsters. I felt like gagging, the air felt thick and I couldn't breathe. The first monster starts attacking the silver haired boy, but the second stays put. I look at it in confusion. Just sitting there… what are those mists anyway?

"Byakugan.' I command and look at the two monsters in horror. There is a massive amount of energy being stored in them. And it's building.

The second creature eyes glow and it vanishes. I search in confusion before I realize that it's still there. It's in the air. The only reason I realized was because my byakugan could see the same whisps of energy hanging in the air, silently moving toward the silver haired boy.

Toushiro vision

The hollow darted forward again to strike at me. Before I could even swipe at it, it ran backward out of range. Annoying.

It wasn't necessary to use my zanpakto's abilities. Besides, I wanted to capture one and try to question it. There was something fishy about what's going on here.

I ducked as the hollow tried to rip off my head. My eyes flicked unconsciously to the side. The hollow with the twisted neck was gone. No spirit pressure from it anymore. I hadn't realized it had gone. But why did it leave? I re focused on my fight.

'Hmmm…' Hyourinmaru mumbled, 'Why did the hollow leave. This is certainly strange.'

I agreed. 'The fact that even our services were needed to take care of this hollow is one thing, but this whole situation gets more and more-'

I felt a presence and turned to see the girl right behind me.

"Watch out!" She said and grabbed my arm. A shadow fell on us and I looked up in time to see the second hollow appear out of thin air. It was close enough for me to see its yellow eyes clearly. I wrapped a free arm around the girl's waist and dodged the hollow's attack.

I landed a few feet away. The two hollow followed us with their eyes. I was about to let go of the ninja girl when Hyourinmaru glowed in my hand. I stared in shock as it changed to shikai by itself. Normally I'd have to recite a phrase to get it to do that. It'd never change without me telling me it to.

'Hyourinmaru?' I asked it mentally. 'Why…?'

'It wasn't me.' Hyourinmaru stated flatly. 'The energy just came to me, I didn't choose to.'

Didn't choose to? If I didn't have Hyourinmaru shift, and it didn't decide to either. Then who else could have done it??

"TSSSK." I looked up at the hollows. "This is getting…prolonged too far." The hollow rasped.

The second hollow's neck twisted to the right. "Let's end it now."

I scowled and stepped in front of the girl. This matter would have to wait until later.

Hinata vision

'Let's end it now.' The second monster hissed.

The boy grimaced and let go of my waist, moving between me and the monsters. I could still feel where his hand was a minute ago. The thought made my face get hot. I quickly dispelled the train of thought. I barely knew this person, besides even though he was protecting me, who knows what he was going to do afterward.

I re-activated my byakugan and looked at the two monsters. The two energies inside monsters were swirling together. They disappeared in a cloud and the two clouds began to swirl together. I watched as a new monster emerged from the cloud.

"Th-they combined?" I stuttered. This day was getting stranger and stranger.

"Nice observation." The boy scoffed.

I looked at his sword. A minute ago it glowed, but all that happened was that a crescent shaped blade was added on it. I felt instant worry.

I flinched as the monster took a step toward us. I blinked and the silver haired boy was gone, only to reappear above the monster's head. He swiped down at it but the monster grabbed the blade and flung him away. The boy landed on his feet with ease and rushed back in to fight.

Am I really this useless?

The monster raised its hand as the boy attacked it again. A stream of the dark mist came out and knocked him away yet again. The boy landed on his feet but started hacking. He doubled over and I watched, frozen, as the monster stalked towards him.

Toushiro vision

Dammit. The hollow blocked my attacks one after another. I'd have to switch to my bankai if this kept up. I jumped into the air, yet again, to try to get at its head. It raised a hand, I expected another block so I lowered my zanpakto to slice through it. But instead a stream of black shot towards me and I was blinded. I felt the hollow smack me away like a fly. Instinctively I moved to land on my feet. My eyes burned and ached. It felt like my lungs were filled with concrete. I couldn't breathe. I coughed harder and harder, trying to get some air flowing to no avail. My whole body felt like lead, I became unaware of my surroundings and hunched over.

'Hitsugaya! Look up!' Hyourinmaru voice rang in the back of my head.

I looked up immediately, forgetting my lack of air, to see a pair of glowing eyes. 'Shit!' I cursed in my head. I willed for Hyourinmaru to come up to defend but I felt weak from not being able to breathe. I cursed as the hollow raised a fist.

THWAK! My eyes bugged out as a rock hit hollow's head. The both of us looked to see that ninja girl. Even in my position I could see that her knees were trembling.

What is wrong with that her?
