Tatsuki: Of course, this chapter is short
Chizuru: That's nothing to be happy about
Ryo: Don't worry about that Chizuru, it's like this for a reason

Chizuru (Pushes passed Ryo and Rukia): Konsu doesn't own Bleach
Tatsuki: Enjoy the chapter, and be ready for more real soon
"Yang, what the hell kind of name is that?"
Tatsuki was really confused. Here was this woman who could pass off as Chizuru's older sister, saying she was her power. Not just her power, oh no, her power that could make the devil quake in fear. Unlike the Chizuru she knew, this one was tamed, very much so. She spoke in a very polite manner, and seems very harmless in her dark kimono which hugged her body beautifully, something Tatsuki found a little easy to admit. This was far from the truth; something Tatsuki had realized earlier when she tried hitting the woman for groping her breast. It was an accident, something that honestly surprised Tatsuki, but what surprised her more, was when the woman casually pushed her fist away with her finger, and in a movement to swift, knocked her to the ground and sat on her.
This was the position they were in now, even after Yang had introduced herself.
"Can you get off?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because you'll attack me again and I'll be force to break your arm Arisawa-san."
"That's not funny."
"I wasn't joking Arisawa-san."
Blowing out air in frustration, Tatsuki groans, and asks another question, very curious about what was going on.
"That nightmare, why was Chizuru there?"
Yang chuckles, the pressure on Tatsuki's back lessening, and she answers.
"You'll find out in due time Arisawa-san, but for now let's address other things," The weight on Tatsuki's back suddenly fades with the world, and Yang's voice sounds from all directions. "Tell me Arisawa-san, do you know what power is?" Tatsuki blinks at the question, and tilts her head to the side in confusion, something she picked up from Orihime. She didn't know what brought up the question, but she answers honestly.
"To crush anyone with overwhelming force and will."
Yang hums thoughtfully at Tatsuki's answer.
"Interesting, truly interesting," There was something about Yang's voice that made Tatsuki feel uneasy, very uneasy. Though the Chizuru look alike was smiling, the woman's words were cold, full of a strange twisted mix of glee and disappointment. Yang shakes her head unseen by Tatsuki, her solemn grin never dropping. Sighing deeply, she asks yet another question. "Tell me Arisawa-san, for one such as you, is that all what power is to you?"
Confused, Tatsuki shrugs unsure.
"No, but, you asked what power is and I answered, but if you asked what do I believe power is, then that's another story."
Yang looks genuinely pleased by the answer, and asks the question Tatsuki proposed.
"Arisawa-san, tell me, what do you believe power is?"
Tatsuki closes her eyes in thought. The answer was truly a simple one, well, to her it was, as it always has been. In her mind, images of a solemn Ichigo sitting on the hill at the river, and a crying Orihime flashes through her mind, and she smiles sadly seeing them. Those images made her answer that much stronger as she answers, her voice soft like snow.
"The power to stop the tears."
Yang strangely smiles gratefully and proudly, confusing Tatsuki who could see the woman in her mind. Before she could question the strange Chizuru lookalike on it, a bright light shines from below, blinding her.
XxXxXxXxXx
Chizuru
"That's a...very unique, yet very pleasing answer."
"I just knew you like that Yin-chan."
Yin giggles and Chizuru grins, a purple glow overtaking her eyes. A bright light shines from above, blinding her.
XxXxXxXxXx
Ryo
"Shrouded in darkness, you're a girl truly shrouded in the mysterious aspects of darkness."
A pale woman with long silky black hair and eerie red eyes clad in a long black dress watches Ryo walk away, she holding a long sword covered in black runes, a bright light engulfing the girl.
XxXxXxXxXx
Rukia
"Time is up Rukia."
Sode no Shirayuki stares up at the little shinigami frozen in a tower of ice, her cold eyes sparkling in cold pleasure. A light suddenly bubbles in the air. Knowing it was time, Sode no Shirayuki waves her hand and the ice tower crumbles, releasing the imprison Rukia. Rukia drops out the sky fast, her skin a sickly blue. Ground coming closer, Sode no Shirayuki suddenly appears beneath Rukia and catches her. The moment she did, Rukia's skin returns to normal, and the light in the air explodes, engulfing them both.
Though she was unconscious, Rukia was able to hear zanpakuto's final words to her.
"I believe that is enough punishment Rukia, when you regain your powers, we'll have a proper talk."

Urahara Shop
"Well, I'd say that little experiment was successful."
Urahara chuckles, he staring at the unconscious girls on the ground intently. Those four girls truly surprised him, but who really surprised him was Ryo, the 'Normal' one of the four. She wasn't a shinigami like Rukia, or an experiment like the other two. The kind of power she had was strange indeed, something worth investigating.
Ching
That would have to be for another day, because right now he had a sword to his neck by one former shinigami lieutenant
"Urahara you worm, mind feeling me in on what's going on?"
Lisa Yadomaru was curious and perplexed on what she witnessed. Watching her little human friend being referred to 'test subject' by Urahara really set her off earlier. She may never admit it loudly, but Tatsuki has really grown on her over the years. To see her treated like a mouse in an experiment and by Urahara of all people really pissed her off. The former shinigami scowls darkly, a faint glow overtaking her blade.
"Stop right there Yadomaru-san."
A strong hand grips Lisa's shoulder, forcing her to release Urahara or what she believed was Urahara. The Urahara she had held suddenly deflates like a balloon, stunning her. Shivering coldly, Lisa glances behind her from the corner of her eyes to see Urahara, giving her such an infuriating smirk, she almost lost it. Seeing the growing fury in Lisa's eyes, Urahara holds up his hands in surrender and quickly shoots out an answer to Lisa's earlier question in hopes of calming her.
"Whoa there Yadomaru-san, I know you have questions, and I have answers, but threatening my cute little gigai is a no, no," Scolds Urahara playfully. Eyes suddenly becoming cold and serious, Urahara levels Lisa with an even stare. "But yes, I will explain some things to Yadomaru-san, you deserve that much."
Lisa huffs and sheathes her sword, waiting for Urahara to begin his explanation. To her silent surprise, he brings out a folder from behind his back and hands it to her. Giving him a bewildered glare, Urahara motions for her to open it, and Lisa does so. Pulling out the documents, she reads over each one slowly, her eyes slowly widening over the contents, not believing such a thing was possible, not believing Urahara would willingly go so far. Urahara suddenly speaks, causing the already tense Lisa to tense further.
"This is my final trump against Aizen, Yadomaru-san," Urahara's dark expression, darkens further. "Call me devil, call me evil if you must, but this is all in preparation for him."
A cold silence passes between them, a silence that was broken by the forgotten Yoruichi who lifts Chizuru from the ground, holding her bridal style.
"I'm taking Chizuru-chan home."
An impish smile spreads across Urahara's face. "Bye bye mommy." A second later, Urahara was face first on the ground with a fist imprint on the back of his head, steam rising from it.
Yoruichi smirks at him and gives Lisa a small smile. "See ya." She takes off through the window, running through the night.
"I guess we'll take Ruki and Ryo home, Yadomaru-san, you don't mind taking Tatsuki do you?"
Urahara was already up with Rukia over his shoulder, while Tessai who wasn't there before, had Ryo in his arms, once more surprising Lisa, something she really wished stopped happening to her. Giving Urahara a curt nod, Lisa walks over to Tatsuki, and wordlessly lifts her. Hugging the girl close to her body, Lisa leaves the Urahara Shop without another word.
Racing across the sky, Lisa gives Tatsuki a small concerned stare.
'What Urahara did is unforgiveable, if you knew what he did, would you lose all faith in life Tatsuki?'
As if she heard her thoughts, Tatsuki groans in her sleep, and buries her face in her chest. Lisa turns an interesting shade of red, and what Tatsuki mumbles in her sleep deepens the blush.
"Hmm, such an intoxicating smell, I love it," When Tatsuki continues and what she did next would forever scar Lisa, literally. "Hmm, it's so good, must eat." Tatsuki opens her mouth, and Lisa could swear she saw fangs right before the girl bites down on her right breast through her clothes.
Lisa's horrified, yet strangely pleasing scream feels the night.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Karakura High
The next morning, things were strangely different in Ichigo's eyes. Tatsuki was staring out the window, but something was off about her aura, something he couldn't understand. The strange thing, the girl had multiple hand prints on her face, something she would prod every few moments confusingly. Chizuru, she was off in her own world, not trying to molest Inoue, something he was silently grateful for, because he was beginning to think he would never have a peaceful morning. Rukia, she was at home, still sleeping, dead to the world. Ichigo didn't know if he should be worried or not, but he was sure seeing the shinigami's breath in a eighty degree house was very strange. Ryo, well, Ryo was Ryo, as silent as ever, reading her book as usual. He would have put it off if it wasn't for the bewildered dark glint in her eyes.
Ichigo also notices a few other things this morning, things he would admit never happened ever, and was glad he purposely ignored them. There was one thing he was sure he couldn't ignore, no matter how much he tried. Even now he tries to deny it, but he couldn't, and he shakes his head as he makes his way to his desk.
'Who was that Smaller than Rukia Pink-haired Shinigami Girl singing about candy retrieval?'
XxXxXxXxXx
Downtown Karakura
"Candy, Retrieval, candy or retrieval, which one, which one, which one shall I choose?"
A small pink-haired shinigami sings happily as she marches through Karakura without a care in the world. She ignores all the stares aimed her way. Being alone in the mortal world without her Ken-chan was something she never thought possible. Not to mention this was a big, big, very big mission. Appointed to her, but the Head Captain himself, was a mission of great importance, a mission only she could accomplish with her vast strength and cunning. She giggles happily remembering the Head Captain's orders.
"Go to the Human World and locate the shinigami Rukia Kuchiki. If found, you are to bring her in alive, then we will discuss the destruction of the 10th Division's barracks, Lieutenant!"
"Okaaaayyy."
Now that she was here however, the shinigami was conflicted. Earlier she saw a boy and his mommy walking down the street with a giant bag of candy. Of course being who she was, the little shinigami wanted candy as well. Seeing those large gumdrops and chocolate really made her giddy. So giddy she grabbed the boy by his shirt and shook him like crazy, demanding he told him where the candy was. After being pried away from the boy by his screeching mother, the woman kindly (screamed) pointed out the directions. Happily thanking the woman, the shinigami girl skipped off singing about candy.
However
"Where's the candy store?"
The shinigami child, having quickly forgotten the directions, was now at Karakura High, staring at the school in awe.
"I bet someone in there can point out directions to the candy store."
Giggling happily, Yachiru skips towards the school for help. Those inside were not aware of the danger coming for them, the destruction and chaos one little girl was going to cause them, or the partnership that would be formed between a perverted girl and a hyperactive shinigami child.
Hell was about to engulf Karakura High by the playful chaotic nature of one Yachiru Kusajishi.
Rukia: We're doomed
Tatsuki: She's here so soon?
Ryo: I feel a headache forming
Chizuru (cheers): Yeah
(Yachiru suddenly crashes through the window screaming)
Yachiru: Hi everyone
(Yachiru slams into the screaming Tatsuki, sending them crashing through the wall)
Ryo: Um
(Ryo, Rukia, and Chizuru stare at the smoking hole with growing sweat drops. Coughing is heard from the hole, and Yachiru stumbles out, laughing happily, blood trailing down her face)
Yachiru: Ninjas are fun
(Yachiru collapses face first)
Chizuru: Uh
(Chizuru glances from the unconscious Yachiru, to the unconscious Tatsuki laid out around the ruble that was once a part of the wall)
Ryo: I'm going home
(Ryo leaves without another word, leaving Rukia and Chizuru with clean up duty)
Rukia: Damn
Chizuru: Better clean up and get ready for the next show
