"Where exactly are you going so early in the morning?" Matsumoto asked as she opened one eye. She had been pretending to sleep on the couch near the door.

"That's none of your business" Hitsugaya snapped back.

"You know if you keep going there, they'll start following you again, and I doubt they'll just give you a slap on the wrist once more" she said, hoping he would listen for a change.

He never answered, and only kept walking. Once he was outside, one odd thing caught his eye. Vice captain Nemu and a few from her division were outside as well, and it seemed as if she were giving them orders. Hitsugaya slinked a bit closer to hear what the group was saying.

"If you can make sure neither are injured, but go for the girl first, she'll be the hardest to deal with, the boy should be easy, he's much younger than her" Nemu said.

"What are her abilities?" one of the group asked.

"No one knows but the 10th captain, and you can ask him all day what they are he'll never give you an answer. The boy's powers are unknown right now though" she replied sharply.

That's when it clicked what they were up to. Are they going after Hisana again? Hitsugaya wondered as the group continued to ask questions. Already he was going over to Karakura town since finally he had found Hisana there, but now he had to get there before that group did, or else Hisana and Kaien might end up dead.

Kaien stared at his sleeping sister for a minute, and then slowly pulled some of the tape up. He couldn't stand that he had less on his side, and wanted to have it to be her who had less. The ripping sound of the tape woke Hisana. She sat up and glared at her younger brother.

"Put that down" she growled.

He nodded, set the tape down, and backed away from her slowly. Hisana chuckled a bit, and then fell back on her pillow. Even though the day started normal with her brother trying to move the tape, something seemed... off. Once Kaien had left the room Hisana pulled herself out of bed, and staggered over to her window. Originally her room didn't have a window, until Rukia had tried teaching Kaien kidou, and just as his sister did; made a window in the room.

"Everything seems normal" Hisana muttered as she opened the window a bit.

She stared out of it for a minute, and then turned around to crawl back into bed. Hisana had nowhere to be that day; it was the weekend why not sleep in for once? It wasn't until then that what seemed so off showed itself.

"Hisana Misaki Kurosaki, we've come to capture you, and your younger brother, Kaien Ishin Kurosaki" Nemu said.

Nearly half of her division stood behind her, ready to attack if need be. Hisana sat up, turned to face the group and sighed a bit. I would have preferred that my wakeup call come from a little hello kitty clock, she thought as she blindly batted around for the pill that would knock her out of her body. Finally she found it, and stuffed it in her mouth. Nemu grabbed the hilt of her sword, ready to defend herself when the orange haired girl began to attack. Hisana glared at the group for a second, and drew her thin black blade.

"You three, find the boy" Nemu ordered.

Three of the Shinigami jumped into the room and stormed past Hisana. She turned to block them with her sword, only to have five other Shinigami draw their blades and clash them against hers. Hisana growled and pulled her sword back, cut one Shinigami on the leg, around on the shoulder, and the last three knocked down after a couple of hits. Sadly since she wasn't very close to Nemu she didn't pick up the vice captain spout off a binding kidou, which now was holding her to the floor with nothing but air.

I know this one, it's easy to break! Hisana thought as she slowly broke the binding spell that held her down. Finally she managed to break it, and charged after the Shinigami that had gone to attack her baby brother. Once she was in the main room she found Kaien holding his sword to the throats of all three Shinigami. An evil grin was on his face, showing that he had been waiting to battle someone for years.

"Onee-chan, mind if I kill these guys, they mentioned somethin' about capturin' us for an experiment" Kaien said as he glanced at his sister.

"I wouldn't if you want Hisana to live little boy" Nemu said, her sword against Hisana's throat.

Hisana smirked, and remembered one thing she had learned in the few days she was at Soul Society. In the blink of an eye Hisana had vanished, and reappeared behind her attacker. She pushed her opponent against the wall and held her there for a minute.

"You seemed to have forgotten my heritage, vice captain Nemu" Hisana snarled.

Nemu glared back at the young girl, and cursed to herself in her mind since she had forgotten the other half of this girl's blood line. For a second the two locked glares until the sound of blood spatter on the floor made both look over at where Kaien was. The three Shinigami were dead, nothing left of them but the blood on the floor and on Kaien's sword.

"Man these things make such a mess!" he said before he sheathed the blade.

"And since you made the mess you clean it" Rukia snarled behind him.

"First though tell me what to do with this vice captain I caught" Hisana said as she poked Nemu in the side.

"That's an easy one, Ichigo get me a pen, paper, and a pin" Rukia ordered Ichigo.

Captain Kurotsuchi nearly threw his vice captain across the room for losing all of their men and not bringing back the test subjects. How hard would it be to catch a twenty two year old and a ten year old? He ripped the paper off her shirt, and read it quickly, which annoyed him more.

"You can send as many people as you please, every last one won't return home. Give up now and no one else has to die" the note read.

"If that's the game they're going to play, Nemu, send as many from our squad to attack, not capture. If I have to I'll run the tests on the dead bodies of those two siblings!" he hissed.

Nemu nodded quickly and left. She knew that before long their division wouldn't have even one person left in it; sending them to attack the siblings was the same as sending them to their deaths.

Elsewhere in the human world

"I truly doubt they'll listen to that note. Kaien, be ready to fight soon" Hisana said.

Kaien again got an evil grin on his face, and then slipped back into his body. He couldn't stand how his fighting skills weren't be used, but now they would be. Before Hisana was even back in her room to clean that mess up, her brother was yelling for her. She shook her head, and went back the way she came.

"You got a friend here for ya sis, says you call him 'Shiro-chan'" Kaien said as he pointed to the Shinigami beside.

"Now this time I don't thinking you're looking for your vice captain" Hisana laughed.

"No, I came to warn you that some of the 12th division is coming here to attack, but because of the blood on the wall, I bet they already were here" Hitsugaya replied.

"And you guessed right! Kaien got rid of them in a slice. But I think there'll be more of them" Hisana said.

"Of course there'll be more, though I don't think they'll let you continue to kill them off for too long before they send in the big guns to get you two" he replied.

Hisana stared down at the floor for some time. She knew he was right, but sadly what more could she do? "What if... what if we ran? How long would they search?" Hisana asked.

Everyone turned to face to Hisana once she said that. Her parents didn't seemed all the bothered by the idea, since they had once contemplated that when Hisana was a small child. The idea seemed reasonable though; what person in their right mind would hunt someone down for years on end? After a matter of weeks or months they would give in and leave the person alone.

"It could work, just you couldn't stop running for even a second" Rukia replied.

"I don't plan to stop running until they leave me and Kaien alone" Hisana growled slightly.

That could work, Hitsugaya thought. At one point in time Hisana had left Karakura town and not a single Shinigami had a clue of where she was. When that happened he went in search of her for months, until they locked him in his house. Out of everyone he was the only person who was willing to search for that length of time, so maybe that strange plan could work.

Before anyone else could say a thing a large group from the 12th division busted the door down, swords unsheathed, ready to attack and kill anyone they wanted. Hisana reached for her sword, but before she could even reach the hilt the group was frozen solid. She glanced back at her mother, and saw that she wasn't even in Shinigami form. Hisana then glanced back toward the door, and noticed the culprit of the frozen Shinigami.

"If you plan on running, you'll need someone to defend you better" Hitsugaya said as he glanced back at her.

After that the ice shattered, killing the entire large group of twenty Shinigami instantly. Kaien glared slightly at the captain, since he had wanted to burn the group up with his own power. He never got much of a chance to use it, and wanted to put Hidama to some use for once.

"Are you offering to completely leave everything you have behind, and run away with me and my brother? I don't really think that Soul Society place would like it all that much if one of their captains vanished" Hisana asked.

"Matsumoto is a strong girl, she can run the division while I'm gone, besides, I don't think they'd come looking for me" he replied.

Hisana wondered exactly what he meant by 'I don't think they'd come looking for me'. She had heard that once before he disappeared for a matter of days and they nearly killed him for it, and if she had to run for months then of course they would come after him! After a second of wondering she gave up on getting her answer, she should just at least be glad that for the next few months she won't be stuck alone with her little brother.

"Then I guess it's a agreed" Kaien said.

---

An hour later the two siblings said good bye to their parents and friends and left. They would be gone for a few months, but there was a chance that they might get captured and never be seen again. Both parents stood at the door, watching as their only children walked away, maybe forever. On the inside Rukia was beating herself senseless, since to her, if she had never stepped forward twenty years ago and told them about her daughter's existence, that maybe they wouldn't be hunting her and her brother.

"We'll see them again, I doubt Hisana or Kaien would just sit back and let them make them into lab rats" Ichigo said.

"Let's hope so" Rukia replied sadly.

Hisana stopped walking for a second, and glanced back at everything behind her. She had left before, and each time killed her, this time was no different. The first time was to Soul Society, which she had hated, and returned home a few days later. The second time was she and Soken had run away together, which turned out horrible, and ended with him missing and her hating him. Each time she had returned home, but this time, would she?

"Come on, standing there won't do us any good sis" Kaien said as he tugged on her pants.

"Yeah, sorry" she muttered as she kept walking.

When she glanced down at her brother she could see in his brown eyes sadness, which reflected what was in her deep purple eyes. Just a couple of months, they'll give up on us... I hope, Hisana thought as she glanced back once more at her home.
