I DON NOT OWN BLEACH OR INUYASHA

CHAPTER 3

Sara' s P.O.V

I was crying because I just remembered the very first time I changed into a Soul Reaper, it wasn't when my family was with but, a few years before that. I shuddered and curled myself closer to Toshiro.

"I had two sisters," I mumbled into him.

"What?" he asked me putting a hand under my chin so that I could look at him.

"My first sister died when I was six," I said the tears still running down my cheek. "That was the first true time that I changed into a Soul Reaper, it was so painful that my mind had blocked it until know; we where sitting in the kitchen, and then a Hollow came. He was strong. My sister was three; she saw it and she screamed; it killed her because of that. Well that's what he said after she was dead. The Hollow picked her up and he enjoyed my screams as I told him to stop, he laughed. Then he pulled her apart, slowly, I could hear the bones crunch. And her desperate screams for me to help her, and I couldn't do anything. I sat there and watched; her blood fell on me so many times. She stopped screaming for help after a while and just whimpered for him to make it stop. And then he didn't kill her. He left her there on the floor. That's when I changed, I was so furious, I killed him at least." I stopped but I knew that Toshiro knew that wasn't the end of this horror story, he grabbed my hand and I took a deep breath.

"The worst part is that, she was still breathing when I was done. I crawled to where she was, she had no arms, legs, and half of her rid cage was missing and some how she was still breathing. That's when she told me to make the pain go away, to help her go to sleep. Her organs where damaged or just not there that's when I knew that she was like me. She understood that she was going to die and that it would hurt. She told me to do the most difficult thing in my life, she gave me all her spiritual pressure and she told me to kill her." I said looking at the wall. "The first I had no choice but the second I did and she was so weak so pale, I didn't have the heart to let her suffer more, so I did the easy thing not the right one."

"No, Sara" Toshiro said taking my face between my hands.

"What you did was the most difficult thing anyone would have done; you helped your sister by moving her on to the next world." He said not letting me escape his gaze. "The easy thing to do was to let her suffer more then she needed to and be alone while you went for help you saved her from all that pain from being alone when she died. You did the right thing no ne in this world could help her but you, the humans would have numbed the pain but they could do nothing else but watch her die just like you did." I looked at him, most people would do the easy thing and agree with what he was saying, I didn't save my sister; I killed her so that she wouldn't feel pain. That's all in some ways I wasn't better then the Hollow who killed. He pulled me tighter against his chest and I let myself go until sleep over took me.

Toshiro's P.O.V

She hands formed fist on my shirt, unwilling even in sleep to let me go. She had fallen asleep, later that night after she had told me the whole story about her sister. She curled closer to me pressing her self against my chest. I sighed as I lightly pulled away; it was getting difficult to ignore the desire that burned through my veins every time she did that. She looked peaceful know at leas asleep, she would torment herself with that memory the rest of her life, I knew even as I tried to tell her it wasn't her fault that she would never get over the death of her sister.

"Don't leave," Sara mumbled in her sleep a signal tear running down her cheek, I wiped it away with my thumb. My heart breaking as I remembered who Sara was. She could be the protector of Soul Society along with me, or she could be the girl that I loved and kept from harm by me walking away. I looked at her again and thought that at least for know I could enjoy my Sara so I let her curl her self closer to me and I wrapped my arms around her holding her close, knowing that soon she would be torn away from me.

CHRISTMAS DAY

Sara's P.O.V

I had spent the day with my friends for both my birthday and Christmas, I was almost home I felt my face get hot as thought about the night with Toshiro, I didn't need anyone to tell me now, why my face felt warm and my heart was beating like crazy. I sighed reminding myself that I was human again as I walked into my house, Toshiro was in the living room looking straight at me, my heart practically jumped out of my heart.

Toshiro's P.O.V

"Captain," Rangiku said snapping me out of my thought, I looked up at her.

"Yes?" I asked her, she was looking at me rather strange.

"What are you waiting for?" she asked me, I hated this conversation, she made sense telling me to tell Sara, but. There was always a, but, something always stopping me. Now; now it was the fact that we were leaving I didn't want to hurt her that way, I felt that it would be easier if we just left, then again I could be wrong.

"I don't want to hurt her," I said.

"How is telling her going to hurt her?" she asked me angry but, her being my lieutenant stopped her from really showing it.

"It already is going to be hard enough for her that we leave; I don't want to give her false hopes Rangiku, what if I don't come back?" I asked angry myself.

"Then you should tell her so that she remembers you as someone brave that's not afraid to stand up against the world for what he feels and believes in!" she responded angry now herself she left then as the front door opened and Sara came in we locked eyes and her face turned a light pink that sent desire running in my veins.

Sara's P.O.V

"Hey," I said walking in and dropping my things on the floor. "Where did Rangiku go?"

"She went for a walk," he answered still looking at me.

"What for, as far as she's shown the last thing Rangiku wants' to do is work," I said talking off my boots.

"Sara," Toshiro said, but the way he said it made me stop moving and sent a slight shiver down my back. "Can you come with me?"

"Sure," I said. "Were to?"

"Out for a little bit I have something I want to check," he said, I put back on my boot and frowned a little. I got up and opened the door and looked back at him.

"Well then hurry up," I said, he smiled slightly and we walked out the house.

We walked all the way to the river under the bridge, which connected the homes and town. That's when Toshiro stopped walking, I turned.

"Something wrong?" I asked.

"I don't think so," he answered, he was looking out toward the house.

"Did you find what you where looking for?" I asked.

"You could say that," he told me, my muscles tightened.

"Oh," I said not looking at him but I could feel his eyes on my face.

"You know that my mother gave me this a long time ago," he said showing me a comb that you used to pull up your hair it was turquoise like his eyes and it had a silver flower at the edge.

"It's beautiful, she had good taste," I commented he laughed slightly.

"Well, you could say that, but," he started. "She told me something when she gave it to me. She said that I should give this to someone that was very important to me, someone that I was willing to risk everything I had for. Of course, I was young so I didn't quite understand what she was saying, I'm still not 100% sure, but I understand what she was saying." I didn't say anything my heart wasn't being nice to me it was having fake delusions.

"I guess that it means a lot to you," I said, he was still looking at me.

"Yes, and Sara," I turned to look at him he wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed his lips to mine, heat exploded in my veins and I twisted my hands in his hair pulling myself closer to him. He responded pulling me closer deepening the kiss and he twisted one of his hands into my hair, I closed my eyes and surrendered to him.

Toshiro's P.O.V

I didn't have a clue at why the hell, I didn't tell her before I took her in my arms, and she was so beautiful her eyes filled with a gentle light. I pressed my lips to hers and pulled her closer to me as she put her hands in my hair, she tasted sweet and so much like the memory of the little girl that I met, but she was different, she was the girl I love, I twisted my hand in her hair holding her tightly to me, I heard a slight moan come from her throat and deepened the kiss as she came closer to me. We pulled apart at the same time I looked at her and she was so beautiful her eyes filed with a gentle emotion that sent a silent shiver through my body.

"Sara," I started, but something in her eyes stopped me.

"Toshiro my name is Sara Rosa, I'm sorry but I didn't know you before, but now I trust you with everything thing that I have," she said her eyes boring into mine and it made sense when I met her eyes were filled with mistrust but now they were wide and twinkling like my own personal stars.

"Sara," I continued. "You are the most important person to me, I love you," her eyes opened with surprise and then they became gentle.

"I love you, but, she said my heart gave an uncomfortable twist at the, but. " You are a Soul Reaper and I am a human, and I know that you have to leave," her eyes sparkled again but not with emotion but with tears. She knew she had always known that we would leave, and she was trying to tell me that it was okay. She was trying to tell me that but she didn't want it her hands had fist of my shirt and I pulled her into my arms.

"Sara, we are leaving and I want you to take care of your self things are going to become difficult in both Soul Society and the human world, I don't want anything to happen to you," I said she looked at me and her eyes searched mine and she gave a tiny chuckle.

Sara's P.O.V

He was telling me to be careful when he wasn't sure that he would be okay, it was funny but sweet because he meant it, we fell in love and now they where taking him away from me.

"I will be okay, but you have to at the least try as hard as you can to come back to me," I said holding onto his shirt, it made me feel like I could keep him here with me his eyes softened, he gentle pressed his lips to mine.

"I will, but don't wait for me forever," he said his eyes serious and slight pained.

"I will wait as long as my heart tells me," I said no hint of humor of compromise in my voice. He frowned slightly but sighed.

"Best that I can ask for," he said but the way he said made me now that he was leaving sooner then I thought, I pulled myself up so that my lips could reach his, my arms locking around his neck, he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me back, also knowing that our time together was coming back to an end. He ended it pulling my arms away and placing his mother comb in my hands so I wouldn't reach for him again. He pressed his lips to mine again.

"Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, I love you, I'm sorry, and good bye," he crushed me to him one more time.

"I love you come back, good bye," I said and he was gone.

Toshiro's P.O.V

"Captain," Rangiku said as I opened the way to Soul Society.

"Enough Rangiku you need to be ready, and yes I told her," I said as we went through, I had left her.

Soul Society

"Welcome back," Captain Ukitake said as we entered Soul Society, that's when it hit me the voice from the phone was Ukitake. I felt my face harden, I nodded. "Did you find anything?"

"No, we found nothing," I said.

"How did that happen?" Captain Kyoraku said in his lazy manner.

"Things happen," I answered. "If you don't mind I have a few things to attend to," I walked away, Soul Society has its secrets and so would I.

NINE MONTHS LATER

"Should I wait for you or go on?" Senna asked me, I hadn't been going to school much but had been out killing Hollows.

"No, go on ahead and tell her to go straight home," I said getting up and chasing the Hollow that passed us by.

"Alright," she called walking away. I followed the Hollow killing it quickly, I had learned how important it was to make sure no Hollow stayed alive long. My Zanpaktō had told me a lot of things and one of them was that if a Hollow found out who I was they would kill me. Sadly if anyone found out who I was they would shackle me, not literally, the longer Toshiro stayed away the more reasons I found out why he had left me here. I felt the spiritual pressure of two Soul Reapers behind me, not the ones I knew though. I turned around they stopped shocked, they were a woman and a man, she was small with black short hair and purple bluish colored eyes, the man was taller then her and me about six feet, he has orange hair and brown eyes.

"What do you want and why are you here?" I asked them they where both in shock that was easy to tell, the girl recovered first.

"What squad are you from?" she asked, again the same question.

"It isn't rather polite to ask someone that before you your self have presented yourself," I told her she looked startled.

"13th squad, Rukia Kuchiki," she said.

"Ichigo Kurosaki Substitute Soul Reaper," he said.

"Sara Kinshi," I said. "I belong to no squad and I follow my own wish, I simple do the favor to Soul Society of killing the Hollows in this area." They were in shock again I laughed, Ichigo didn't look to happy with that reaction.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing I just thought that Soul Society would learn to hide there secrets better," I said.

"What do you know about Soul Society?" Rukia asked.

"Plenty," I said. "Enough to know that Soul Society has more secrets then can be counted and I'm one of them, and I know enough that if you're here it means that Soul Society isn't following there side of the deal."
"What deal?" Ichigo asked.

"They stay away and I kill every Hollow that comes by," I told him. "Know why, are you here?"

"That really doesn't concern you," Rukia said, I laughed.

"Listen you're not in Soul Society here you stand underneath me this is my town and I want you out now," I said, I really wanted these Soul Reapers away they where making me uncomfortable.

"I don't know what deal you have with Soul Society but that has nothing to do with us so if you don't mind we would like to look around," he said starting to walk I pulled out my Zanpaktō and put it at his neck.

"Ichigo!" Rukia cried.

"I told you to leave now," I said, my phone started to ring, damn it what lousy timing, I picked it up.

"Hello," I answered.

"Sara-chan, please don't harm Kuchiki-san or Kurosaki-kun, they don't know many things," Ukitake said.

"You called just in time then," I told him removing my Zanpaktō. "So then what are they doing here?"

"It can't be discussed over the phone," he said, a lot of things couldn't be discussed over the phone lately.

"You want me to help them, right?" I asked.

"Sorry for the unconvincing Sara-chan, but if you can," he said, I sighed.

"Fine then," I said.

"Thank you and I have to go good bye," he said and hung up.

"Yeah good bye to you too," I said I turned to where Ichigo and Rukia where. "Sorry about that but things aren't what they where."

"I'm used to it," Ichigo said.

"Well then it looks like you and I have something in common," I said. "Look someone from Soul Society told me to help you out so I will; you can stay at my place if you want."

"Thank you, we appreciate it," Rukia said.

"Alright then let's get going," I said.

"Hold up, don't you go to school or something?" Ichigo asked.

"Well we should do a lot of things that sometimes when you find someone that does the same things the order of priority change," I told him. "Especially, if there is a time gap."

"Really and just how long have been doing this favor for Soul Society?" Rukia asked.

"Since I was eight or six depending on how you see it," I said, they looked shocked. "I'm not dead I'm still alive."

"Then you're a human like me," Ichigo said.

"I guess you could say that but there is a difference," I said.

"Right, I'm closer to Soul Society then you are," he said.

"Right, Ichigo, since thanks to me you're a Soul Reaper," Rukia said and Ichigo glared at her.

"Yeah but you didn't seem too proud of that before," He said, she just looked at him coldly.

"Well things change," she said.

"Well, then lets get going," I said going towards my house, their conversation had reminded me of him, and the way we were with each other, the wind of September tickling my eyes.

Ichigo's P.O.V

We followed Sara to her house, I didn't quite approve of the fact that she should be in school but wasn't, then again that wasn't my problem.

"Ichigo," Rukia said.

"Yeah?" I asked her.

"I don't like her," she said looking at the back of Sara I frowned.

"It wasn't that big of a deal Rukia, nothing happened," I told her guessing what was bothering her.

"No, Ichigo it wasn't that," she said.

"Then what?" I asked my mind coming up blank.

"Look at what she had in her hair," Rukia said pointing out the comb in her hair it was quite odd looking.

"What about it?" I asked.

"I've seen it before; it belonged to Captain Hitsugaya, why would she have it?" Rukia asked.

"It was Toshiro's?" I asked.

"Yeah it belonged to his mother or something like that," Rukia said.

"I don't know maybe it's another one," I suggest Sara didn't seem the type.

"Or most likely, she's the one that we're looking for," Rukia said, she had a point the comb was strange and now I knew why it was transmitting spiritual pressure.

"Looks like you're right," I said I took a deep breath, that' when I felt it the spiritual pressure of an Arrancar. It went after Sara and she saw it just as it hit her. "Watch out!" Then the whole place exploded in ice.

Soul Society (Same time as nine months after Toshiro's departure.)

Rangiku's P.O.V

I had just heard what me and the Captain had been, fearing. I ran as quickly as I could to where I knew he would be I saw him.

"Captain!" I called he turned to look at me.

"What is it Rangiku?" he asked.

"Captain they sent someone to go look for her," I said his grew wide then they blazed with anger.

"Who?" he asked.

"The head Captain, he sent someone but I don't know who Captain Ukitake gave the final order," I said.

"Get ready Rangiku we leave in two minutes," he told me and like that my Captain was gone.

Toshiro's P.O.V

I was furious, they had disrespected my wishes and now I had to fix certain things I found Captain Ukitake.

"Who did you sent to look for her?" I asked.

"Well Captain Hitsugaya, it looks like fire spreads fast," he said.

"Captain Ukitake I don't have patients for this I know a lot of things and I want to know who you sent now," I told him my temper rising.

"I'm sorry but I couldn't stop the order of the head Captain, he told me to send the best we had on the human world," he told me. "He told me to sent Kurosaki-kun and Kuchiki-san," I took a deep breath.

"Thank you Ukitake," I said and I left already by the Rangiku.

"Let's get going," I said. We reached the human world just in time, the three Soul Reapers had been attacked by an Arrancar but Sara was hit first.

"Sit upon the frozen heavens, Hyourinmaru" my Zanpaktō changed and I attacked the Arrancar it was very weak and I let Rangiku take over.

Sara's P.O.V

I felt strong arms catch me before I hit the ground I opened my eyes and saw him.

"It's you," I said I heard a familiar laugh that sent a pleasant sensation down my skin.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Merry Christmas I hope you enjoyed this chapter a lot of choices where made but something huge is about to change there lives Sara isn't the only secret of Soul Society
