Ok, this chp is kind of short, but i hope you like it.

"Let me travel, Denakuma." Yura was immediately in Denakuma's cold, lightning filled world.

She watched as Denakuma ran toward her. "Now you see why we must talk more than we already are?"

Yura scoffed. "As if you knew that he actually likes me. When I find out, you find out. So you only just found out minutes ago like I did."

"Such a nasty attitude. I'm only trying to help. But, Yura, you must know, I've suspected something from the beginning. But it didn't come out like this."

"Yeah, no kidding. I mean-"

"Aren't you happy?"

Yura looked at Denakuma and raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"Why aren't you happy? You like him and he likes you back. You should be happy that he returns your feelings."

"My feelings for him aren't like that."

Denakuma raised her head high and stared directly at Yura. "You can't lie to me. Your feelings for the boy are strong. Yoruichi even saw it."

Yura sighed and sat down. She looked at her surroundings which wasn't much. She met Denakuma's blue eyes. "Ok, so…what do I do?"

"Just like you can't tell me what to do, I can't really tell you what to do. Now can I?"

"You could if you wanted to." Denakuma shook her head. "Maybe I should just…avoid him for awhile?"

"Avoid him from what? Even if you do avoid him, aren't you showing the boy my Bankai form? You shouldn't anyway until a great battle. Things can get really messy, and you know."

Yura laughed and lay on her back. She stared up at the dark sky and lightning flashing everywhere. She brushed her hand against the dark cloud which she was lying on. Even though it was sturdy, it was still soft. "Denakuma…I know you usually don't like it when I say this, but…I wish I could stay here with you." Denakuma stayed silent for awhile as she looked away from Yura.

"Yura, do you remember…when we first met?"

"How could I forget? What does this have to do with anything?"

"I just want to make sure…that we have an understanding as to why you can never stay here for too long."

Yura swallowed hard. "Yeah…" Denakuma slowly made her way over to Yura. She sighed and lay down next to her. "Why have you been so nice lately? You're usually hot-headed and ready to pick a fight."

"Like you?"

Yura smiled. "I guess...But really. You've never been such a softy like this. In a situation like this you'd be telling me to get over it and stand up for myself."

"Do you want me to be harsh on you?"

"No. I like the new you."

Yura slowly began to stroke Denakuma's dark fur. Denakuma relaxed under her touch and closed her eyes. "You should probably go. The boy or his lieutenant will probably be looking for you."

"How can I face him now that I know the truth?"

"You'll figure it out. You always do."

And with that, lightning struck Yura and she found herself back on the hill. She looked up at the sky to see that it was night. She stood up and stretched. She looked at her hand and smiled. She could still feel Denakuma's fur. She took her zanpakuto out of the ground and began to walk down the hill.

"Moda!"

With a confused look, Yura turned around and saw a small, pink-headed girl walking toward her. Yachiru. "Oh, Yachiru. What are you doing?"

"Captain Yamamoto called in an inconvenient Captains' meeting."

Yura smiled. She was relieved that Toshiro would be busy with a Captains' meeting and she wouldn't have to show her Bankai. "Oh, is that so?"

Yachiru smiled. "What are you doing out in the night?"

Yura looked up at the sky and took a deep breath. "Just clearing my mind from…stuff."

Yachiru tilted her head. "What kind of stuff?"

Yura only shook her head and looked back at Yachiru. "It's nothing. Really. I've settled it….I'm gonna head to my room, ok?"

Yachiru looked sad, but she quickly smiled. "Ok. Ken-Chan is looking forward to battling with you."

Yura smiled. "Tell him likewise."

Yachiru nodded and took off. "Bye, Moda." Yura watched Yachiru walk off. When she was out of sight, Yura took off to her room.

She walked down the hall, but stopped when she saw Matsumoto leaning against her door. She slowly walked towards her. Matsumoto looked up with an expressionless face.

"What is it?" Yura asked her.

"What did you find out?"

Yura narrowed her eyes. "I don't know what you mean."

"You know something. How do you figure stuff out, Yura?"

Yura looked away and shook her head. "I can't tell you. It's complicated."

"Yura, I'm not mad at you or anything. But if something is going on…I need to know."

Yura sighed and closed her eyes. "I can see into people's past."

Matsumoto blinked. "What do you mean by that?"

"I can see people's past. By making direct eye contact with them I can look into their past. Remember when we first met? You felt a small electric shock in your head, didn't you? I was looking into your past. I know it's a violation…but to be honest, it's like…how do I put this? Two magnets. I can't keep away. So, when the two of you wouldn't tell me what was going on, I looked into your head and found out that Toshiro might like me."

Ignoring most of what Yura just said, Matsumoto put her hands on her hip. "It's not a might, he definitely likes you."

Yura threw her arms up in frustration. "You're not getting the point!"

"Ok, well…why do you keep looking into my head and not Toshiro's?"

Yura's face fell. "Well, that's the thing. I can't."

"By that you mean won't?"

"No, when I say can't I mean can't. I can't get in his head for some reason."

Matsumoto seemed to be in deep thought. Then something clicked in her head. "You've seen everything!" Matsumoto said, while her hands flew up to her head.

She's slow for a lieutenant.

Yura heard Denakuma. She contained her laugh and sighed instead. "Yes, I have. I know everything. And I mean everything. There's nothing that I don't know about you."

Matsumoto frowned. "Who else's head have you gone into?"

Yura thought about it for a while. "Ichigo, Renji, Orihime, Kenpachi, you…that's about it."

Matsumoto took a while as she processed everything. "Yura…do you like Toshiro?"

Yura's eyes widened. "What? Why would you say that? Of course I…I mean, I…not exactly. He's been a good friend, but…"

"That's not my question."

Yura looked away. She opened her mouth to say something, but quickly closed it. Matsumoto's face brightened. "You do!" Matsumoto threw up her arms and threw them around Yura.

Yura stiffened and gritted her teeth together. "Please, don't ever do that again."

Still smiling, Matsumoto let go of Yura. "Yura, this…it's exciting!"

"How is this exciting?"

"That you return his feelings. And you…this is perfect. You're just about the only one who can make Toshiro smile."

Yura looked at Matsumoto. "Really?" Matsumoto nodded, her hair flying around her. Yura's lips twitched up in a small smile. "Well, earlier I…I think I made him laugh."

Matsumoto's smile widened. "I've never heard him laugh. Is it nice? Tell me."

Yura laughed at Matsumoto. "Shouldn't you be keeping things in order while the Captain is at a meeting?"

Matsumoto waved it off. "Keep what in order? Nothing's happening right now. You can tell me everything in details."

Yura shook her head. "You'll have to find out the details yourself. I'm tired and I'm going to sleep. Goodnight, Lieutenant Matsumoto." Matsumoto moved out of the way and Yura walked into her room. She turned around and looked at Matsumoto. "And don't tell anyone what I just told you." She closed the door behind her and went straight to her bed. She sighed and sat down. "Are we gonna get through this in one piece, Denakuma?"

What kind of question is that? Of course we will.

With a smile, Yura lay on her bed and stared up at the ceiling. She slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"Yura, will you come out here please?"

Yura smiled as she ran out of her house. She stopped in front of her father. "Yes?"

Her father smiled. "It's time to go. Are you ready?"

Yura's smile grew bigger and she threw herself into her father's arms. "Yes, I'm ready." She let go and they took off down the quiet street.

Yura and her father would do this once every full moon. They'd take a hike up the mountains and see the beauty of their new life and how it isn't so different from their old life when they were alive. After about an hour they made it to the top of the hill. Yura ran around through the tall grass and spun around in circles until she grew dizzy and fell to her knees. She laughed as she looked up at the bright, full moon.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, breathing in the cool night air and the smell of the spring flowers. She opened her eyes and sat back, moving her head side to side as if music were playing around her. The music she imagined was an old lullaby her mother used to sing to her. At the thought, her happy expression turned into a sad and hurtful one. She turned around and looked at her father.

"Papa, do you think mommy still thinks of us?"

Her father smiled down at her. He sat next to her and looked up at the moon. "I'm sure she does." They were silent for awhile. The only sound was the whispering wind and chirping of crickets. "Yura, there's something I want to give you."

Yura looked at her father and smiled. "What is it?"

Her father reached behind him and pulled up a large bag. "Before I give it to you, you must promise to watch over it and to tell no one of it."

She nodded. "I promise." He smiled and opened up the bag. Then he pulled out a long sheath. Yura frowned. "What is this, Papa?"

He handed her the sheath and she nearly dropped it when she felt how heavy it was. "It's a sword, Yura. A zanpakuto to be more specific."

Yura looked at her father. "But only Soul Reapers carry these. Why are you giving this to me?" She looked down at the sheath that held the sword.

"Because when you are old enough, I want you to become a Soul Reaper…and this will be your zanpakuto."

"But, I thought-"

"Keep it safe, Yura. Promise that you will become a strong Soul Reaper."

Yura looked at her father again. "Why does it sound like you're leaving?"

Pain flashed across her father's eyes and he kissed her forehead. "I'm not going anywhere yet. But I won't be around forever. And why not train you now so you can become even stronger?"

"I will become stronger?"

"I guarantee it." Yura smiled. "But, Yura, there are a few things that you must know about this particular zanpakuto. Its strength will combine with yours, making your powers stronger. You will also be visiting the spirit for guidance. Its world will be hypnotizing and you will be tempted to stay. But if you stay too long…you will cease to exist in this world."

Yura searched her father's face. "You mean…I'll become nothing." It wasn't a question, but her father nodded anyway.

"Yes. You will become nothing."

Yura looked down and pulled out the sword. It was obviously taller than her. The blade glistened under the moon light and the light reflected off of her face. She gripped the handle tightly and felt a jolt of electricity run through her entire body. The feeling was excruciating at first, but soon enough it became soothing and familiar. Yura's eyes quickly flashed blue, but returned to their normal violet. It's an honor to be in your possession. A voice spoke in Yura's head. She looked down at the sword and smiled.

Yura snapped her eyes open and took a deep breath. Her dream wasn't much of a nightmare this time, but just a painful memory. It was also a happy one. Yura first got Denakuma from her father, but her father disappeared afterwards. So to her, he lied. He said he wasn't leaving yet, but he was gone that next morning.

Yura sat up and looked out of her window. The sun was up already and she could hear people talking. She groaned and jumped out of bed. She quickly got dressed, grabbed her zanpakuto and ran out of her room…nearly running into Matsumoto.

"Oh, Yura. I was just coming to get you."

"Why?"

"Toshiro is looking for you."

Yura rolled her eyes and walked past Matsumoto. "Maybe we can talk some other time."

Matsumoto caught up to her. "Yura, you can't di-"

"I can't disobey or deny the Captain when he asks a favor of a member of his or another Captain's squad. I know the rules and stuff, but I'm really not up to it." Yura stopped and looked at Matsumoto.

Look into her past. There's something you need to know.

Yura frowned, but met Matsumoto's gaze.

Matsumoto was in Toshiro's office when he came back from the Captains' meeting. Ignoring Matsumoto, he walked over to the large window and leaned against the wall as he stared outside.

"Did you find out what was wrong?" He asked Matsumoto, still not looking at her.

She stood up from the couch. She took a deep breath. "She knows. A lot of things. She told me that her power that she gets from her zanpakuto allows her to see into ones past."

Toshiro looked at her. "What do you mean by that?"

"I'm not completely sure. She didn't tell me details. All that I can tell you is that she can see into anyone's past…except for yours."

Toshiro frowned. "I don't understand."

"I don't understand either, but that's what she's told me. She can go into anyone's mind that she wants to…but not yours, Captain."

Toshiro looked away. He wanted to believe that Yura said those exact words. He honestly didn't want to fight her again. "You're sure about this?"

"Yes, Captain."

Yura came out of Matsumoto's head. Matsumoto looked hard at Yura, then pointed a finger at her. "You went inside my head!"

"You told Toshiro my secret! How could you do that after I told you not to tell anyone?"

"I can't exactly help it. You know the rules."

"Just because you're the lieutenant doesn't mean you can't break at least one rule. There're hundreds of them." Before Matsumoto could speak, Yura held up her hand. "I'm going to talk to Toshiro and I don't want you there to say anything else. Such as who's head I've gone into."

With that Yura turned around and took off using Flash Step. She stopped in front of Toshiro's office and barged right in. "I thought I made it clear that no one should ever barge in on me again."

"Well, looks like I didn't get the message. Even if I did I would've still barged in."

Toshiro looked up from his desk and met Yura's piercing, purple eyes. "What is it now?"

"What exactly did Lieutenant Matsumoto tell you last night?"

Toshiro seemed he was about to protest, but gave up and told her the truth. "She told me what you're capable of doing."

"And what is that exactly?"

He hesitated. He couldn't tell who she was mad at. Matsumoto, or him. "That you can see into people's past."

"Anything else?" She narrowed her eyes at him.

"I think you know the answer to that."

Yura looked away. She shook her head and bit her lip. "I'm done with this. I tried to keep my secret…but obviously I can't keep it from most people," she looked at him. "I'm sorry for all the trouble I've put you through, Captain Hitsugaya."

"You're going back to formalities."

"And stripping my title as your friend." Yura turned around and opened the door.

"Yura, wait." Toshiro stood up and used Flash Step to step in front of her. He touched her arm and an electric current traveled through both of them.

Yura quickly stepped back. "Don't touch me again. Please."

Toshiro looked at her face to see tears forming in her eyes. "Yura-"

"And you can't really blame me for keeping a secret," She met his eyes. "because I'm not the only person here that's keeping secrets." With that, Yura pushed past Toshiro and walked down the long hallway.

I'm guessing you don't want to talk right now.

Tears fell down Yura's face, but she held herself together. "Yeah, I rather be left alone for a while."
