Yashiro sat in the Fourth Squad Barracks Medical Bay gazing at the wooden floor as she waited for her Captain to return. The door slid open alerting her as she looked up slowly.

" Unohana-taicho... I'm ok, there really is no need to.. " Her words trailed off as she say the familiar strawberry.

"Kurosaki-san... why are you.. is there something you need? " Yashiro tried not to sound harsh but Ichigo had made her nervous, his power made her uncomfortable. She had encountered many incredible people in her time but none of them possessed his level of reiatsu.

"How was your father able to seal your reiatsu? " Yashiro's eyes widened at the question. It caught her off guard, she had not been expecting that.

"I-I'm-"

"I know it must be hard... but I-I..." He bit his lip "I need to know. " Ichigo clenched his fists eyes downcast.

Yashiro stared at him curiously.

"You don't have proper control over it correct? " Ichigo stared up at her with wide eyes

"I can tell. Everything about your spiritual pressure feels chaotic, my body felt overwhelmed. " Yashiro stood up as Ichigo looked at her. " I'm afraid I can't help you. "

"W-Why not?! " he yelled urgently. "Unfortunately my father died before he could show me how to channel one's abilities. That's the very reason I'm struggling with mine." Yashiro explained sadly as Ichigo backed off with a sigh.

Silence enveloped the room.

"I like your hair. " Yashiro blirted causing Ichigo to blink and stare at her, seconds later a smile crossed his lips as he laughed lightly. "I like your hair too. " Ichigo replied with a grin and Yashiro returned it. The door opened catching both of their attention as Jushiro walked in.

"It seems I was right you are both quite similar, I knew you would get along nicely. " The white haired male said with a soft smile. Yashiro blushed at the male Captain.

"I should be getting back to Rukia see ya later. " Ichigo said exiting with a wave.

Yashiro's heartbeat sped up realizing that they we're now alone.

"Damn it why did Ichigo leave, I can't deal with this without embarrassing myself. "

"How are you feeling? " Yashiro smiled. "I really am fine releasing all that reiatsu at once was a little exhausting but I'll recover. I've said that to my Captain but she says I need more rest, I'm a b-bit scared of what she'll do if I try to leave. " Yashiro stammered rubbing her head nervously.

Jushiro chuckled lightly taking a seat right next to her bed.

"We were quite worried for you, It seems Rukia thought you were in real danger when you went after that Menos. " Yashiro nodded before a blush returned to her cheeks

"A-About that, t-thank you for what you did I appreciated it. "

Yashiro was looking down at her hands nervously her orange hair creating a curtain around her face as she tried to hide her blush.

"It was my pleasure. " Jushiro comforted placing his hand on hers.

Yashiro looked up startled her heart beating erratically at the contact.

"I know it must not have been easy for you. " Yashiro stared at him a sad expression reflected in her eyes but she tried to brush it off with a fake smile. "It's no big deal I didn't have it that bad. "

Jushiro's gaze was serious as he looked at her wiping a hand against her now wet cheeks.

Yashiro blinked in confusion at the feeling of fresh tears running down her cheeks.

"W-why am I... "

"There's nothing wrong with feeling pain, we all have to endure at some point in time. Trying to cover up your sadness will only worsen it." Yashiro rubbed her eyes furiously before standing abruptly startling Jushiro.

"Yashiro-"

"I'm sorry Captain, I have to leave. " without another word she flash stepped away.

General Pov

Yashiro had ended up on top of a roof in the squad barracks taking a seat and looking off into the sky.

A sigh escaped her lips as the wind blew threw her orange hair.

Ichigo had been an interesting person to encounter, apart from his disruptive reiatsu he seemed like a nice boy.

"Why are you here. " Yashiro stood up startled by the sudden voice, turning she say the familiar dark hair and stoic expression of Squad Six's respected Captain.

"Kuchiki- taicho w-what are you doing here? "she questioned.

He simply stared at her. "Your abilities are quite interesting."

Yashiro sweat dropped. "He never answered my question how rude. "

"I-I thank you I'm glad you think so Captain. I-If you don't mind me saying this I-I just your reiatsu is a little unbalanced. " Byakuya's hardened as they zeroed in on her smaller form.

"Crap, did I say something wrong I'm dead if I pissed him off. "

A cold sweat gathered as he continued to just stare at her.

"How is it unbalanced? " she blinked before looking back at him.

She took a deep breath before moving closer towards him placing her hand on his sword.

"I-I can't really explain its just the vibes I get whenever I encounter someone's zampaktou, your sword is like piece of your soul if your not on the same wavelength when you fight your just holding back your true potential. "

Yashiro could see his eyes showed something that wasn't there often she almost missed the slight change in his expression. "I could have sworn he looked the least bit surprised. "

Yashiro shook her head slightly.

"I will keep that in mind. " without another word Byakuya disappeared causing Yashiro to frown.

"For a noble he's rather rude. " she muttered pouting as she jumped off the roof.
