Yuzu, unlike her brother and sister, was unable to see spirits or sense anything related to them. She could however see, only recently, blurs of what she suspected were spirits. Just yesterday she felt what felt like a little girl as she passed by a lamp post on her way home. But this was different. In front of Saburo was a huge blur, the shape seemed to be at least ten feet tall, dark, intimidating, and filled the air with fear.

Yuzu, when pushed by Saburo, fell to the ground and against the tree. Saburo was standing in front of her, hands out as if to guard against something.

"Wha-What happened Saburo?" She stood up and put a hand on his back, "Do you see something?"

She looked up to the blur and gasped when she saw what looked like blood dripping to the ground. At that moment Saburo spoke up, his voice different than usual.

"Yuzu, you need to run. This isn't some spirit, you need to get out of here now!"

Saburo turned back to look at him over his shoulder and Yuzu was shocked to see splashes of red on his face.

Blood.

Saburo grinned at her despite it, "Why are you crying?" She reached up and felt her cheeks and sure enough they were wet with her tears. "I'll be fine, don't you worry." He turned back to the spirit, "I'm strong."

Yuzu opened her mouth to argue, unaware of the other blurs landing, knocking up dirts and rocks and sending families screaming in terror at yet another weird accurance. For, at that moment, for some reason, Saburo looked stronger than anyone she's ever known.

"Sa-"

"Yuzu, thanks for being my friend, I won't forget that. When this is all over I'll explain everything to you and if you decide you don't want to talk to me after then I won't hold it against you." He sighed and reached into his pocket, pulling out what looked like candy. He threw it in his mouth and in the next second he seemed to shake before another blur appeared and Saburo immediately turned around and grabbed Yuzu. At first Yuzu wondered what he was doing but then felt the mass of warm liquid covering his chest and now hers.

At what seemed like rocket speeds he jumped away but for some reason Yuzu knew that it wasn't the real Saburo when he spoke, "Lady Yuzu, Master has ordered me to carry you home. He wants you to go to Ichigo's room and stay there, he thinks the Adjuchas and the hollows were gathered due to the large reiatsu of your family and, despite his limiter, him as well."

Yuzu would've talked if not for the high speeds and the fact she thought that if she spoke she would puke.

Saburo, stay safe, please.

I pulled out my zanpakuto and turned to look at the Adjuchas and the five hollows, "A little much for just me isn't it?"

The Adjuchas, a ten foot tall hollow with blue skin, a dark white mask with black horns running over it, four arms with razor sharp claws, two legs with three claws, and two tails with a blade on each end, growled, "We were sent here on orders, foolish shinigami, you have no meaning in our plans, we just want to kill you."

I sighed, "I'm used to not being important, used to being depressed, wishing to die. Well that was until I met this family. They're a crazy bunch, rowdy, strong, funny people." I smiled, "I felt like I belonged there, but I digress." I looked into the Adjuchas's eyes, "What is your mission, if you tell me I'll let you live."

The Adjuchas started to laughed, walking backwards and pointing, "So sad! You are no Captain, or a Lieutenant!"

I frowned, "That's rude," I ran a hand through my hair and I became engulfed in silver reiatsu, "but I'll beat that out of you."

"Bankai!"

The Adjuchas covered his face with one of his arms when the silver reiatsu exploded outward.

I jumped into the air and glared down at the hollows, raising both of my hands towards them. I looked at my silver scaled dragon hands, to my silver kimono top and pants, lightning bolts decorating my top, to the dragon jaws on my shoulder, to the weight of the dragon head on my own, to the cold of my metal mask that covered up to my nose, and finally my newly acquired wings and tail.

"Kitama Ginrairyu!" I held out my arms, a ball of silver reiatsu growing into existence before it extended outwards in the shape of a long chinese dragon. The reiatsu dragon roared before coiling around me.

The Adjuchas growled, "Get him!" Two of the hollows opened their mouth up and started to spit what looked like black water. I grinned and threw forward my hand, "Ginryuken!" The dragon roared and flew forward, hitting the black water and continuing until it hit the two hollows. The Adjuchas growled and looked up only to meet my foot as I crashed down. The Adjuchas was knocked into the ground.

I smirked and jumped back and was instantly surrounded by the last three of the hollows. They jumped forward and I raised my hands to push back against them while the one behind me got ready to take a bite out of me.

My tail whiped back and cut it in half before whipping around in front of me to take out the last two. The Adjuchas growled and rushed forward, surprising me with it's speed. The Adjuchas punched forward and I barely had time to grab his hand. He punched forward again`and I once again grabbed his hand. His hands twist around then and grabbed tightly around my wrists.

Oh shit! He thought ahead of me!

In desperation I attacked with my tail but he caught even that. He lowered his bull shape head and a ball of red started to appear.

Cero!

"My mission was to make sure there wasn't any big threat here for my Master. I was right, he will enjoy eating the souls of everyone here. With all this reiatsu he'll become even more powerful and then I'll have all the young girls to eat as I want!"

I gasped and struggled to get out even more, "Say goodbye Shinigami!" The cero pulsed before the beam was shot point blank at me.

Damn it this is going to hurt! Sorry Yuzu...

Damn it boy! Use it!

Before I could do anything the beam hit me in my stomach and he let go of my hands and tail. I was sent flying back and into several trees before finally stopping.

"Shit," I shakingly stood up, watching as the Adjuchas charged towards me, "seems like I'll have to use it." He grabbed my zanpakuto and raised it up, my wings folding in front of me with the tips pointed forward, my tail doing the same, "Kyuushuu Raikou Kujo!" I slashed forward, a silver ball glowing in front of my wings, tail, and zanpakuto. The balls blew outward quickly towards the Adjuchas who didn't dodge in time and was shocked.

The Adjuchas, enveloped in a haze of silver lightning, gasped out in pain, "What's this? I can't move!"

I panted as I fell to a knee, "That's just part one of the attack," I raised my right hand in the air and slammed it towards the Adjuchas. In that second what looked like a silver lightning bolt struck down on him from the sky.

I smiled and fell out of my Bankai state, watching through half lidded eyes as the Adjuchas appeared from a cloud of smoke missing it's tails and two arms. He yelled out at me, what I couldn't tell.

It seems like I fail at all I do. Why couldn't I win at a time like this? I lied to Yuzu! Damn it why can't I ever win?

My eyes closed and I succumbed to unconciousness, the last thing I heard was a loud yell.

"Getsuga Tensho!"

"Saburo? Saburo?" I groaned as a voice peirced the darkness surrounding me.

"Saburo! Get up please!" Something wet landed on my cheeks.

What? What is this?

Fool, you need to wake up. I turned to face my zanpakuto spirit, Ginrairyu who was calmly looking down on me. All you've been doing is sleeping, you're taking up room. Not to mention just how damn noisy you are, snoring and screaming. He lifted his hands and swatted forward, sending me flying off of his cloud. Tell your girlfriend I said hi.

"Saburo!" My eyes snapped open to face a brown wooden roof. I blinked and turned my head, groaning at the pain.

I smiled, as best as I could, at Yuzu who was currently crying and Ichigo who was looking down at him almost boredly.

"Saburo!" Yuzu jumped forward and hugged me, making me ache all over but I was careful not to scream.

Ichigo sighed at the display, "I had to tell her everything, by the time she got back to the park she was able to see spirits. Probably due to your reiatsu and all the hollows, mostly that captain class one." He spoke as if it wasn't him that was constantly releasing Captain Class reiatsu. "She saw me and you and while you were being healed I told her." He glared down at me, "When you heal completely I'm going to Bankai your ass so get ready." He turned and walked out of the room.

Yuzu pulled back and wiped her tears, "I'm sorry Saburo, if only I had known I could've helped you better!" I smiled at her and raised my hands, my eyebrows furrowed as I did so. I cupped her cheeks and wiped her tears.

"You're helping me as is." I sighed, my eyelids feeling heavy, "I'm sorry but I'm still tired." My eyes closed, "Will you be here when I wake up?"

I couldn't hear her answer but I felt her grab my hand, her warmth spreading through me.

Huh, why is this so comfartable? Know what? Not going to look into it, for now I'll just sleep.
