"Oh shit!" I panicked. With Jasmine securely in my arms, I sprinted off towards my house. I had to get away from this thing! I heard a roar come not too far behind me. "Crap, crap, crap!!" I ran faster but I tripped over my feet. I yelped as my face smacked against the concrete. I grabbed my nose. It was pouring blood! I winced. Maybe it was broken... I flinched as a sound I did not want to hear rang in my ears. I spun around so fast, I'd make a Merry Go 'Round jealous. That damn monster had it's foot stomped down on Jasmine! Tears of anger built up in the corners of my eyes. "Damn monster! Let go of my dog!" I screamed as I ran towards it. The Hollow looked up at me and grinned. It added more pressure to my dog. "I'll kill you! I'll freakin' kill you!!" I charged faster. After what seemed hundreds of years, I finally reached the monstrosity. I kicked and punched it's leg so hard, my knuckles started to bleed. "Let go! Let go! Let Go!" I noticed the man was just watching the scene unfold. His black eyes grew wide. "Hey, girl, watch out!"
'Snap!'
Chapter Three: New Kid, New Body, New Found Power
Everything just seemed to crash and burn. The stranger missed by seconds to cut off the thing's leg before the monster crushed my dog beneath it's ghostly white hand. The Soul Reaper managed to carry me away from the Hollow only to leave my dog's body at the mercy of that creature. My screams of anger and sorrow echoed in my ear drums. That abomination killed my dog! My best friend! I loved Jasmine and the creature took her away!! The Reaper had me over his shoulder while he getting far from the Hollow. I kicked and banged on his chest and back. "Take me back! Take me back, damnit!" I demanded. He just ignored me. I noticed the knobs on the end of his freaky looking hair were bells. They jingled as the man ran. I looked back at the horror. The Hollow thing was limping away. I bit my lip when I saw a pool of blood with a grayish form in the middle. Tears streamed down my reddened cheeks. That bastard...I'll kill him! I swear! I was interrupted by the guy tossing me onto the ground. I hit the bottom hard. I hissed. "Owie..." The man sighed and rolled his eyes. "Humans are so weak." I perked my head up. "What do you mean by that?" He looked down at me. "Haven't you figured it out yet? Jeez, you're slow." I growled. "Well, excuse me for being in a poor emotional state at the moment! It's not like my dog just died, asshole!" I hiccuped. Cursing was more of Mirai's habit then mine. But sometimes it slipped out. "Hmph, the pooch was in the way." I grew ridged. In the way...? I slapped him hard across the face. I didn't care who he was or what! He deserved that! His head jerked back to face me. The expression he wore was one mixed with shock and anger. I was dumbfounded at what happened next. He began to laugh. "Hahahahaha, not too many people have the guts to hit me! Maybe you're not so bad, human." He said after his laughter had died down. Whatever, I was still pissed. "Hey, you have the power to finish that thing, don't you?" He cocked his head to the right. The bells rang as he so. "Of course, I'm a Captain after all. One of the most feared Soul Reapers!" "Yeah, yeah, shut up. I don't care. Kill him!" He looked mad that I stopped him during a speech but, honestly, I needed revenge. He nodded and in second, he was gone. I stared around me. Everything was so calm and quite now. I hesitantly walked over to the area where my dog lay. I felt my knees buckle as I stood looking at her. Like if all my strength was zapped, I collapsed and cried. I picked up the blood covered fur ball and wept. I sniffled and noticed that a car was coming this way. My parents car.

I walked down the street with my bag on my shoulders, heading for school. It had been days since my encounter with the Hollow and Soul Reaper guy. I gently touched the cold metal wrapped around my neck. It was Jasmine's dog tag. I told my Mom that she had been run over by a truck. I didn't mention anything about the things I encountered that night. I wasn't careless. If I told them that, I would've been in a crazy house faster than lighting touched the sky. I sighed. Why can't my life be normal?
"Hey, Kiki!" Mirai shouted from the corner.
I weakly put on a smile. Mirai and a few others knew about Jasmine. But no one knew the truth. "Hi..." I replied. She grinned and tapped my head lightly. "You okay?" I nodded. "Okay as I'm going to get for now." She frowned. "Look, I loved that dog too but," I glared at her. I was not in the mood for pity or anything! Mirai quickly shut her mouth and looked away. "Uh, nice weather we're having..." "...." Mirai laughed. "Awkward silence!" I couldn't help but stifle a laugh. "Now see? I'm funny. Hell, I may be the funniest person on this planet!" She proclaimed. I was about to make a comment when...
"Nah, you'd the pervy person on the planet!" Someone giggled.
Mirai spun around to glare at her mortal enemy; Orihime. "Damn you! Where in the hell do you freakin' come from?!" Orihime laughed again. "I came from mama." Mirai cranked her head back at me. "Honestly, I surrounded be morons..." Her face was morbid. I burst out in hysterics. "It's the truth!" Mirai looked like somebody threw a pie at her face. "You backstabber! You bloody traitor!" She fumed. A bang echoed as a foot came in contact with Mirai's head. Tatsuki had kicked her. "Enough of your damn yellin'!" Mirai rubbed the back of her head. "Bitch, I'll get you for this!" She grumbled. Tatsuki smirked and looked at me. "How's it going?" "Alright," She nodded and pushed Mirai on her face. "Ya know, you need to get stronger." She taunted. As usual, Mirai fell for it. "I'll murder you!" She pounced on Tatsuki at the two went at it. I heard Orihime skip over to me. She placed her hand on my shoulder and squeezed. "I'm sorry." I bobbed my head up and down in understanding. Her brown eyes widened. "Oh my gosh! I totally forgot! Did you guys hear about Ichigo?!" The two bumbling idiots paused for a moment. "Why? What happened?" Both the girls had a tight grip on each others hair. "A car ran right into their clinic!" In unison, we all gasped. Tatsuki and Mirai let go. "Everyone okay?" Tatsuki asked. Orihime shook her head. "Yeah, every body's fine." We let out a breathe of relief. It would tragic if Ichigo and his sisters lost their Dad. He was all they had left since Mrs. Kurisaki died years ago. "Alright, let's quit acting all depressed and get our butts to school!" Tatsuki shouted, taking off like a Chetta. Orihime quickly dashed after her friend. Mirai's shoulders shrugged. "There's no way I'm running all that way for school." She angrily picked her backpack and stormed off. I rolled my eyes. I wasn't planning on running either.

The morning bell just rang and we got in classroom just in time. Kubo-sensei was leaning against his desk with his arms folded. His took his glasses and looked at us. "Have a seat, girls. We're about to begin." We nodded and hurriedly sat down in our seats. I sat in my usual desk right by the window. I twisted the bag off my shoulders and hung it on the seat. I rubbed my eyes and decided to stare into space and beyond. Sensei cleared his throat and started his morning introduction. "Good morning class. I hope you all had a good nights sleep. But before we start the day, I have someone to introduce." His hand gestured to a black haired girl. "Please come to the front and say something about yourself." I watched as she rose from her seat and stepped in front of the room facing everyone. Most people would have written off as average, but I thought she was pretty. No, I'm not gay. I like to compliment people, that's all. Her black hair was short with spikes at the tips. Her face and skin were pale but not paper white. Her height was somewhat taller than mine. She had purple iris'. I thought it was odd but then again, that is what makes humans unique. A smile slowly emerged on her lips. "Hello, I'm Kuchiki Rukia. I am new to this area. I hope to get along with each and everyone of you. Let's have an excellent year together." She bowed and returned to her spot. Kubo grinned. "Thank you. Now, today nothing special is happening. No tests, no trips, and no breaks coming up. In half an hour, you'll depart to your second period, Math. Have a good day and see you again at 2:30." He placed his glasses back on and took a seat himself. Soon the class was alive with chatter. I noticed that Kuchiki-san and Ichigo were sticking close together. They were whispering things I couldn't read. Wonder what they were saying? I heard a jingle of a bunch of little bells. My eyes widened. Outside the window was that Soul Reaper guy! I flinched as I glared at him. What was he doing here?!
"Hey, girl, come on out. I need to talk to you."
I glanced around to make sure no one was looking then I stuck my tongue out at him. He was shocked and then grew angry. "Why you little-" He looked to his left before dashing away. I sighed. Thank God! He's gone! I felt someone staring at me. Peeping through my hair, I saw Ichigo and Kuchiki-san staring at the window wide eyed as well. My eyes narrowed in suspicion. Did they see him? My question was answered when they asked if they could go to the restroom. I quickly shot my arm up. Sensei looked at me. "Yes, Yagami-kun?" "May I go to my locker? I forgot a textbook." He shook his head and I walked out of the room. I looked in both directions until I caught them running down the left corridor. Now I knew I was right. They did see him! I darted after them. I wasn't alone. Those two could see things that the human eye shouldn't comprehend. I ran down the hall and whirled around the corner. I came to a stop and hid behind some lockers. I peeked. Ichigo and Kurchiki-san were talking again. Her eyes searched everywhere to make sure the halls were empty. I quickly ducked back. Thankfully, she didn't see me. Kurchiki pulled on a red glove with a skull on it. Her gloved hand smacked Ichigo right in the middle of his face. All of sudden he collapsed. I clamped my hand over my mouth. Did she kill him?!
But standing next to his fallen body was Ichigo. Only he was clothed in the robes that the Reaper wore. On his back was a huge and thick sword. Where'd he get this stuff?! New girl told he something more and they went back to running. Ugh, why running? Why not power walking? I huffed and continued to follow them. The two lead me outside where the first Reaper guy was attacking the thing from the nights ago! This time the Hollow had a new look. His arms and legs were repaired but there was something else. Oh yeah! His mask wasn't there! Half of it is missing, leaving the other half of his face uncovered. Hid body structure was changed too. He was more muscular. I felt myself freeze. This monster was completely rebuilt! I clenched my teeth to the point where I was grinding them. This bastard may have gotten upgrades, but that doesn't mean he's going to get away alive! The two dressed in black seemed to arguing with each other while new girl was trying to defeat the Hollow on her own. I closed my hands into fists. If anyone was going to harm that thing, it was to be me!
Without thinking I ran out to join them. Ichigo and Spiky saw me coming and stopped. "Kiki, get back! It's dangerous! You'll get hurt!" Ichigo warned. Spiky said nothing. I ignored Ichigo's pleads and jumped off the ground. "Take this!" I punched the Hollow in the stomach. I didn't understand how but, I knocked the wind outta him! Saliva spewed out of his mouth. I dug my fist into his pale stomach. I heard the organs pop. I felt a hot liquid drip on my head. Blood was pouring from his mouth. I smirked and hit harder. Kurchiki was astonished. She had never witnessed a mere mortal harm a Hollow! I jumped backwards and watched as he gripped his sore stomach in pain.
"Y-you're....the human from that night!" He gasped out.
"Yeah, and I'm here to get revenge!" I shouted, pointing at him. He looked confused for a moment but he broke out in laughter. "Ahahaha, now I know what you mean. I recall putting that dog out of it's misery." I lowered my head. "It was pathetic anyhow. The thing couldn't even protect it's master." He laughed. "Shut up..." Ichigo rushed and stood protectively in front of me. "Kiki, is that really happened? This monster did that?" He asked softly. Spiky spoke up. "Yes, I was there. He smashed it." Ichigo put up his sword. "You'll pay!" I felt power surge in me. I thought I was on fire! My head snapped up. "Shut up!!"

A green aura glowed about her body as the power inside began to emerge. Ichigo stepped back as the rest did. Ichigo and Ruika trembled. The spiritual pressure was heavy! The spike haired Soul Reaper remained steadfast. He had never witnessed such raw energy. Kiki glared at the Hollow demon as he shivered. Her blue eyes shimmered a grassy green. Her spiritual energy formed a face of an animal. Crimson eyes shot open. The energy created a wolf's face with deadly red eyes. The spirit form gave an ear shattering roar as it engulfed Kiki's body. The aura shone like wild fire. As if being controlled by another force, she raised her hand to the sky. In a sparkle of light, a long katana appeared and set itself in her palm. Twirling it around her fingers, the blade made a typhoon like noise. She snatched the sword in her hand. "This is for my dog, you heartless beast!" Slamming the katana on the ground, a giant wind tunnel whirled towards the Hollow. The creature tried to escape but it was in vain. The vortex sucked him in. Screeches of agony and death rang out as the Hollow was being torn to pieces. Kiki's wind calmed down and disappeared. The remains of the Hollow was nothing more than a bloody stain in the grass. The weapon vanished along with Kiki's spiritual pressure that resumed it's slumber. Her knees buckled at the sudden vacancy of overwhelming strength. Her legs gave out and she collapsed onto the dirt. The last image before the darkness creeped over was Ichigo running at her. Then...nothing....

Rukia did her best at healing the human girl to the best of her abilities. But since she was stuck in a Gigai (1) because last night Ichigo stole her powers. Ichigo and Spiky stood by and looked on as Rukia worked on Kiki. "So, you know Kiki?" Ichigo asked, glaring at the other Reaper. "I sure as hell don't know you. But, who's Kiki?" Ichigo frowned. "The girl on the ground. You said you were there when the Hollow..." He didn't finish. Spikey got the idea. "Oh yeah, I remember. That's her name?" Ichigo nodded. The taller Reaper started to walk away. "Hey, wait a minute! Who are you?!" Ichigo yelled. The older Reaper didn't reply. In a flash, he was gone. Ichigo growled. "Some nerve...Silent treatment. I hate that!" Rukia overheard his question. "His name is Zaraki Kenpachi, Captain of the 11th Division." Ichigo blinked. "Captain? 11th Division? What's all that?" Rukia got up. "It's Soul Reaper Squads. And he's one of the goteijūsantai (2)." Ichigo was still confused. Rukia went on. "Basically, he's the most fearsome of the Soul Reapers."
