A/N: Along with the Omake Theatre, there will be a series of questions at the end of every so chapter. If you want, you can answer them in a review! It helped one of my friends on Quizilla (Who is now in lunaescense ever since they F--ked up quizilla)

Would You Love me If You Knew What I Was?

Chapter twenty-six: Swearing

Disclaimer: I don't own bleach nor do I claim to. It pretty much sovereigns over meh, but I call dibs on Yumi, Archer, and my other OC's! So, ha!

I'm going to get an ulcer pretty soon… With the next chapter, I'm sure…ugh.

Now guys...Sorry to say, but the last chapter had like...two reviews. It's not like I hate it or judge my stories by how many reviews I get (Although it helps), but I really need your opinion. It really helps and motivates me. I don't know what you guys like. Do you want me to include detailed fighting scenes or stick with more talking with little fight scenes (They're still there...just not in full detail) So please? For old times sake? At least three a chapter...?

REVIEWS ARE MY ANTI-DRUG!

Reviewers last chapter:

KurokamiHaruhi - Dude I love you! -huggles- Thanks for always being good support for me! Sorry I haven't updated much (I was on vacation in Key West and Cozumel for a while and just got back)

Jibun no Omoi - Man, I honestly want to glomp Miyuki soooo much right now. Your stories are awesome and I enjoy the reviews you give me -hugs-

Oh, and I shall finally reveal where the encyclopedia comes from!

Lol, it's from Soul Eater. Y'know, when Maka takes a book and hits Soul or her dad with it (Or occasionally Black Star)?

Quote of the chapter:

"If men swear that they want to harm you when you are asleep, you can go to sleep. If women say so, stay awake"


"God damn it this whole joint can go to hell. Seriously! Which cunt in their right mind would try to design this shitty maze? If I find the person who made this, I'll f—"

"Now, now, Reisha…" said Archer, feigning parental concern for her temper, "Such language will definitely send you down there, y'know."

She scoffed and rolled her eyes, "Please. Been there, done that. Let me tell you. His flaming lordship actually has quiet the humor."

"Archer, please tell me that's sarcasm." Yumi said, raising a brow at Reisha's behavior as she continued tried seeing through the moist dark caverns. "Or else I'm beginning to wish I was there instead of here…"

Oh, you must be wondering where they are right now, huh?

"You f—"Reisha took a deep breath in and exhaled in an attempt to release the tension. To further overstress her discomfort she put slight pauses between her words, "Prissy. Stray… you know how much I hate damp places… The thing I hate more than that is how horrible it smells down here. Now, put those two together and what do you get?"

"Let's see… a pissed off Reisha in an underground sewer," Finished Archer, hitting his fist in his palm like he solved the meaning of life. "Am I right?"

Yumi crinkled her nose and winced. "I think horrible is an understatement. It smells like shit."

"Great, now you got the brat swearing. Seriously Reisha! You're a bad influence." Archer swung his arms up in over exaggerated frustration. "Anyway, you would be wishing for the impossible if you asked that all sewages smelled like roses and daisies. You two whine too much."

Reisha began to growl but then looked down and grinned, pushing forward so she was walking in front of him. There was a certain hint of mischief in her stride that made Archer hesitate. He paled when he heard her next words and a strange 'squish' on his right boot.

"…says the person who stepped in a doody bomber [1]."


Hitsugaya and Matsumoto flash-stepped at a hurried pace towards the only hope they had of stopping the execution. It was the central office of forty-six. As they came to their destination, Matsumoto frowned at the doors that were locked and protected by kido and bars. But…

"Now what?" asked Matsumoto.

Hitsugaya said nothing as he slowly walked up to it and drew Hyourinmaru. Before she could protest, he brought his sword down, slicing the bars and door in a diagonal.

"Taicho!"

"…the alarm didn't go off." He said after a moment's pause and sheathed his blade. "Even though I forced the door open the alarm didn't sound, nor did any guards arrive. So that means someone's been in here before us."


The heavy tiled ground gave way as one slid out of place, revealing three heads that popped out from below. Archer came out first and offered Yumi a hand. After she had been lifted out, he extended his help to his temporary partner. Her violet eyes studied him for a moment before she jumped out of there by herself. Archer growled in a low tone as Reisha stuck her tongue out at him in a teasing way. Ignoring their non-verbal war, Yumi looked around in confusion.

"Where are we?" she asked, furrowing her brows.

"We're right by the central office of forty-six," Reisha casually answered and crossed her arms like she didn't care. "You wanted to go there, didn't you?"

Realization dawned on Yumi as her mouth opened slightly, "Reisha…"

"Heh, looks like the raven has a soft spot after all!" Archer teased as a very large vein popped on her forehead.

"URUSAI YOU PRISSY—Mmmph!" Reisha began to shout but Archer silenced her by covering her mouth with his hand and almost holding her in a headlock.

"Shut up! Do you want us to get caught!?" he said in a hoarse whisper. Reisha narrowed her eyes and then moved her jaw. Seconds later, Archer paled and then jumped away from her as if he had been burned. Except what was on his hand wasn't scorch marks… They were drool stains. And a lot of it. "You—you brat! You licked me you disgusting kid!"

Yumi rolled her eyes and jumped up on the rooftops. Archer noticed and called after her.

"Yumi, I'll catch up as soon as I can, so don't do anything stupid!"

She nodded and flash-stepped as fast as she could. Silently, she sent a prayer to the gods most high. If anything were to happen to her captain...

Her thoughts were cut short when she sensed a familiar presence up ahead and scanned the source.

'Kira?' she questioned mentally and hid her reiatsu signature even more, 'What could he be doing here…with Rangiku-Chan?'

Quickly, she hid between the gaps of the buildings, low enough not to be seen but at a correct angle to see what was going on. As expected, Kira and Matsumoto stopped and began a conversation.

"Matsumoto-san," he started with his eyes serious and straightforward. It almost scared Yumi, seeing as the only time she really only talked with Kira was that one time at a party. He seemed so quiet and calm, not one to start a fight but to stop one. Just what was going on?

"You know…I may have only known your subordinate for only a few days," he trailed off as his eyes drifted to Yumi's position. She tensed in anticipation. "But already I can tell what she feels and how she reacts."

"What are you talking about?" said Matsumoto, speaking in a tone that felt foreign to the bystander.

"I mean this. Way of Destruction No. 31 Shakkahō."

Yumi's eyes widened as she saw a familiar ball of red kido fire aimed at her as she jumped out just in time to dodge the flare. Matsumoto gasped slightly in shock but recomposed herself and narrowed her eyes.

With her cover blown, Yumi stood in-between both vice-captain's and let the hair on her face shadow her eyes.

"So, I was right," surmised Kira as he drew his sword from its sheath. "You had two birds flying to the same nest."

"Yumi-chan." Matsumoto spoke in a low demanding tone and bore her silver eyes into her guarded violet ones. She walked up to her and grabbed her wrist in a not too unkindly way. "Go back. Now."

There was a moment of silence before the youngest of the three took in a breath.

"Rangiku-chan," Yumi spoke quietly but the vice-captain felt the desperation behind her calm exterior. "I'm begging you…let me go."

The grip on her wrist tightened momentarily, as if in hesitation. It was a strict order from her captain. Actually, it felt more like a plea even though the captain of the tenth division would quickly disregard it. And here, the girl she was ordered to keep away from central 46 was just asking her to let her go!

"Why do you need to go, Yumi-chan?" she asked. Yumi didn't need to get caught up in this. Hitsugaya made sure that her escape would be near flawless and he risked almost everything on the line for aiding an escaped convict. So why...?

"Because," Yumi trailed off and looked at her bandaged hands that were wrapped with the cloth from her captain, "There's something...I need to tell him."

Matsumoto looked up into her violet eyes and tried reading her emotions. Oh, determination was surely there. But she didn't act like she wasn't afraid or force a smile this time. Fear and concern was clearly on her young face but the resolve to push through that made its mark on Matsumoto's decision.

"I'm sorry, Yumi-chan…" she answered softly and unsheathed Haineko. Yumi's eyes widened in surprise but she held her ground. The Fukutaicho studied her with an uncharacteristic critical eye and smiled for what felt like the first time in a while. "You're going to have to owe me for beating Kira off your tail!"

A warm smile touched Yumi's face as they tagged each other's hands out before they went separate directions. Kira blinked but couldn't help but give a small smile despite the situation.

"That kid really is something."

The tenth division vice captain nodded and got ready for battle, "Yeah. She'll owe me six weeks of paperwork when I'm finished dealing with you."

In the mean time, Yumi ran, hoping to catch up with her captain before it was too late. In her gut, she had a sinking feeling that something was wrong and her captain was going straight towards it.

'You really care about him, don't you?' asked a voice inside her head that was like a haunting memory.

She retorted quickly, 'Who wants to know?'

From the back of her mind she heard her scoff, 'Do you want to get there before him or not?' Yumi contemplated for a moment before shaking her head.

'I'm not letting you take over like last time.'

'I'm not expecting you to.' Yumi could feel the grin that was radiating off of her inner self and closed her eyes before taking a deep breath.

'I trust you on this.' She said before opening her eyes. In those violet pools, swirls of amber began to churn and she felt the wind beneath her pick up. There was a moment of silence between the two before one of them spoke up.

'…Good choice.'


"W-what…is this?" murmured Hinamori as she stood watching the scene in horror. The room was full of blood and began to smell of decay. The bodies of the central office of forty-six had multiple slash wounds from a sword. All dead.

She had followed Hitsugaya after he had left and created a barrier to lock people out. Of course it was too easy for her to escape. After that, she masked her reiatsu and went after them. At this very place, she saw Hitsugaya and Kira who had left moments after he was found.

Footsteps halted her thoughts as her body froze from the chilling words that were whispered into her ear.

"Welcome back, Hinamori-chan."


[1] It's a term my friends used for goose poop on our track at school. In this chapter…it means Archer stepped in poop. XD He's gonna kill meh

Omake Theatre

Yumi: HEY!

Mana: What?

Yumi: What happened to the awesome fight you were supposed to put in this chapter!?

Mana: I'm sorry. Originally, I was actually going to describe Renji's fight as well but...

Hitsu: Leave her be Miyamoto. She's obviously too lazy

Mana: URUSAI TEME! IT'S NOT THAT!!!

Yumi/Hitsu: 0-0;

Mana: -sighs- i'm just stressed. I know I promised to work on WYLM all summer but... Some family matters happened.

Hitsu: -coughs- well...erm...

Mana: -brightens- ANYWAY! On to the question sheet!

Yumi/Hitsu: -deadpan-

Questions:

1. Ichimaru corners little Hinamori in from the the slaughtered office of forty-six and said, "Welcome back, Hinamori-chan." What do you think that foreshadows?

2. Hitsugaya doesn't know that both Hinamori and Yumi are going towards the same place. What will he find when he sees the truth?

3. Yumi says that she needs to tell Hitsugaya something, urgently. What do you think she'll say?

It's completely optional to do these. So i'm not forcing you. Do what comes natural and in the next chapter, some (If not all) of these questions will be revealed...I think. lol
