Woho chapter 5 of this story! Sorry it's been a while since I last updated but I have been busy in the passing weeks and had no time to get my latest chapter written, but here it is.

I own nothing of Bleach or the Characters but I do own my OC character :) and if i did own Bleach she would so be a Captain :)

Chapter 5

It was the end of the week of my time in the World of the Living and I was really sad to say bye to the people I have met and the places I have seen. It was lovely to have a break from the Soul Society and the havoc that went with it. In some respects I was glad to go back to and continue my future as Captain of squad 3 and finally become something for myself.

The thing is I know that I found Tsuki (Raven) the first day I was here but I thought I would stick around and learn more about this world and the people that lived in it. I decided that I would stay with my new friend Raven as she offered that I could stay with her until we left instead of Kiskue's. Which I was glad, as for some odd reason that guy is really weird, no wonder he used to be the Captain of the 12th division, those guys are creepy!

Another reason I wanted to go back home was that I needed to talk to Byakuya. I have thought a lot about it over this passing week and I realised that he has helped me to become what I am today without me realising it until now. He may have kept his distance from me the whole time that I was working under him but maybe that distance and false hate was just to get me to do things on my own. For that I'm grateful to him!

I also learnt that Raven is I nice girl when you got the chance to talk to her and we hit things off great. I don't know much about her past only that she was experimented on and that she used to be in squad 2. She really doesn't talk much about her past and I'm willing to respect that until she decides to tell me but I know there is something deeper inside her that I want to find out. She is not dangerous; the whole week I have been here she would fight off hollows and then comes back to the house and that's it, she doesn't even go to school. Her dark aura is around her all the time but nothing major had come out of it, maybe the Soul Society are worrying over nothing and that they should just leave her alone.

"Are you going to open it or not!" a mono sounding voice said next to me. I broke out of my trail of thought and to what was in front of me. The senkaimon was there ready and waiting to be opened by me to take us back to the Soul Society. I looked to my right where Raven was slightly tapping her left foot with annoyance waiting for me to do something. I gave her a warming smile.

"Well someone is eager to get tested on back in the Soul Society" she glared at me with her purple eyes and then punched me on my right arm. Not too hard though but hard enough to let me know that she wasn't happy with what I said. I rubbed my now sore arm.

"Aww come on it was only a joke, here" with that I opened the senkaimon and two Hell butterflies came out ready for us to return back home.

"I don't do jokes!" she growled and walked into the senkaimon before I said she could. Oh dear what am I going to do with her, she needs to lighten up a little if she wants everyone in the seireitei to accept her again. Like I said she was a nice girl and that she wouldn't hurt anyone with out reason but that attitude needs to be a little more flexible.

"Are you coming!" she growled again. I sighed and shook my head. I then followed her into the senkaimon back to the Soul Society.

As we got through to end and back to our home I sighed because this is where the journey is going to begin, I don't know why but for some reason everything is going to a little bit different now that I have Raven as a friend.

The minute I stepped out of the senkaimon I was caught of guard by someone brining me into a well excruciating hug. I looked up to my capturer, to my surprise all I saw were two large breasts in my line of vision. The only one person I knew that to be.

"Rangiku would please get off me, I was only gone for a week" I tried to pry myself free from deaths of destructions that were Rangiku's breasts.

"Aww but I missed my drinking buddy!" she crushed me tighter till I couldn't feel my breath anymore and my eyes where nearly popping out of my head, man I'm starting to get a headache!

She finally released me I was about to say something but I noticed she had her attention onto something else. I regained my composure and I turned my head to look directly to what she was starting at. It was then I realised that Raven was still with me and she was giving Rangiku and really nasty glare.

"Who are you?!" Raven insisted to Rangiku but all my strawberry blonde friend did was chuckle. Raven was still in her stoic state but I knew that she was slightly confused to what had been amusing about that question.

"Don't you think I should be asking you that question but I already know who you are as it's being going around the whole seireitei." She placed her hands on her hips.

"Whatever but you didn't answer my question?!"

"Touchy! I'm Rangiku Matsumoto lieutenant of squad 10" Rangiku said in a happy tone at which made Raven cringe.

I rubbed my temples knowing that conversation is not going to get us very far as these two clashed like orange and pink. Plus I really need to speak with Byakuya later today, well that's if he's not busy and in a good mood.

"Rangiku I need to take Raven to 12th for testing and I will stay with her while it's going on, so I'll meet you in the bar later tonight and I can tell you what happened while I was away" she looked confused and I was wondering what so hard about what I said.

"Who's Raven?" she questionably asked. I smacked my head in stupidity for not telling her that Tsuki was in fact Raven as I was so used to calling her that. Whenever I slipped up on her name, her dark aura would rise and it felt suffocating, so learned to get it right before my death came early.

"That would be me" Raven said in a mono tune with a bored expression on her face. Rangiku raised her eyebrow and stared at the dark haired girl.

"Oh really…" Raven's dark aura rose and Rangiku was slightly taken back by it and decided that she shouldn't really piss Raven off "…it's a nice name" she said wearily.

"Like I said Rangiku I will meet you later after the testing, ok" trying to stop my two friends starting a battle over some thing as silly as a name. Rangiku nodded and gave Raven I slight look before she Flashed Stepped off, probably to the bar to get a head start.

I turned my head to Raven and gave her a dirty look "Be nice that's my friend ok! You would be surprised to what she can do, trust me, she has made some grown men cry before and that's not a pretty sight" the dark haired girl shrugged and looked forward not caring to what I said.

"Let's get this over with, I hate waiting around! Once this is over I'm going to kill that mad scientist for doing this to me!" her anger rose and a white and purple aura was rising off her and I could feel in some way she was scared. I placed my hand on her shoulder for reassurance.

"Don't worry nothing is going to happen to you. Also after this is over could I help you in killing him too" I smirked at her; she turned to me and returned that smirk. With that I could see she was happy with her sparkling eyes and the way her mouth smirked but there was still something there deep inside that I needed to get out of her to find the real Raven.


We where standing in front of the door to the 12th division the feeling of hate and worry were in the air. When I looked at Raven, she looked calm enough but her hands was trembling of either from that anger or the fear that something will happen. I promised her that nothing will and I intend to keep that promise.

"Shall we go in?" I said turning to the door again. I tried opening it but for some odd reason it was locked. Why lock it when they know we are coming here today. I'm not being funny or anything but whom in there right mind would steal from this place unless it's for information but then again you could never get to it because of secured passwords. So why lock it? That Captain Kurotsuchi and his weird ways!

I knocked on the door hoping someone would hear us and realise that we were here.

"Yes who is it" a very robotic voice sounded through the door.

"It's Captain Nakamura and Tsuki Hikari" I said cringingly hoping that using Raven's name didn't cause my death but looking to the side to her nothing happened. Maybe she knew that if I didn't use her name they would probably wonder who she was, like Rangiku.

The door clicked open so I pushed the door open to a dark hallway. Wow this place is creepy. There standing in that dark hallway was Nemu Kurotsuchi staring blankly at us.

"Please follow me" She said and turned around and walked into the black abyss. How could she see in here without any lights? Possibly the years of practice of knowing where everything is but for visitors it's not that easy. So we followed her and hoping her judgement of the way was correct or we might fall down a trap door that was for intruders, I wouldn't put it past Captain Kurotsuchi to do something like that.

Soon after what seemed like 10 minutes we could see a light up ahead which must have been the laboratory. Nemu stopped and turned around to face us.

"Thank you for assistance Captain Nakamura but me and my Captain will take it from here"

"You're very welcome but I have promised that I would stay and watch this so call testing of yours, not that I don't trust you but your Captain I'm not so sure?" her blank stare gave nothing and I didn't know what to do. She seemed nice but does she have any emotions at all, what was she thinking?

"I'm not sure if that would be appropriate, the 12th division is classified to other squad members unless said otherwise" I rubbed the bridge of my nose with annoyance and these division's and their stupid rules. I could see that Raven was also getting impatient with this wanting to be over a done with.

"I don't care about your silly little rules and regulations she is coming with me if you like it or not!" Raven raised her voice to Nemu, I slightly felt sorry for the girl to be on the end of Raven but with what I have heard to what her Captain has done to her when she has been out of line with him, she seemed quite intent with Raven's voice.

"Very well follow me" she mono toned again and walked into the Lab.

While we were inside of the lab I could see the masses of machinery and test tube containers for experimental specimens that were filled with a liquid that I didn't want to know what it was.

"Nemu! Where are you?!" was the weird sounding voice of Captain Kurotsuchi. As he marched into the room with a mission glare in his eyes I knew that he was itching to start on Raven. He loved to get new things to experiment on and Raven must be the icing on his reasonably weird cake.

"Here Captain and I have your new specimen" Nemu replied to her Captain and father.

"Good" he said. When he finally reached us he immediately noticed me and his face dropped from glee to rage in the matter if minutes. He pointed to me.

"Nemu what is she doing here! I only wanted the aura freak"

"Hey who the hell are you calling a freak you crazed ass loon" Raven stepped forward but before she got any further I caught her arm and gave her look of 'I'll handle this'. She backed down and stood next to me.

"I'm sorry Captain Kurotsuchi but I will be watching your experimentation on Tsuki as it is her request that I do so" he raised and his eyes unimpressed and crossed his arms.

"That is not going to happen. No one is allowed to see any of the experiments that are conducted here in this laboratory unless you are in squad 12"

"Well I'm sorry but I'm not leaving. I'm staying here to make sure that you don't do anything to her other than what you have been given orders." He gave a light growl and glared at me and Raven in annoyance.

"I don't have time for your nonsense! I will not allow you to be present!" Now I'm getting mad! What is so wrong for me to watch? Did he really want to do something to her that he shouldn't? I wouldn't tell anyone to what goes on in this squad as it was not my place to do such thing. He was so closed to everyone that not even the Head Captain knew what goes on this lab and also what goes on in his head. I think my bribe will be in order!

"Right that's it! I don't know what is so wrong for me that I can't watch but it's getting suspicious that I really want to know what goes on with your little experiments. So if you don't let me watch I will release my bankai and this lab will be nothing but ash!" his face grew wider with fear because he knew of what my Zanpakuto could do, mostly everyone knew now over this past week. It was not every day that a nothing becomes Captain and has a duel Zanpkakuto with it.

He was gritting his teeth with annoyance "Fine but if one word gets out to what you see to anyone. I will hunt you down and kill you with no hesitation!" I don't think it would be easy to kill me as I sleep light and have great senses while awake but he could try. I gave him a warming smile.

"Of course but you do one thing out of line my threat still stands, I'm I clear"

"Crystal" was his weak reply. "Nemu bring them to the main lab. Oh and remind me to deal with your punishment later for letting this purple haired, scar eyed freak of Captain in to my lab!" he rose his voice and turned to his lieutenant.

"Yes Captain" she replied in one of her mono tones. I don't know how she can be so calm with him. He just said that she had to remind him about her own punishment and she is going along with it. I have heard from some people that when he created his lieutenant he didn't give her any emotions and programed her to obey his every command. That ass, so he could do anything he'd wanted and she couldn't do anything to stop him.

As we followed Nemu into the main lab I saw within in the middle of the big room was a metal table with at each ends of the corners where arm and leg restraints. I noticed Raven clenched her fists in rage to see that she had to be retrained on a table and nothing she could do to stop to what was about to happen to her. I place my left hand on her right shoulder then gave her a smile. She nodded with appreciation to my reassurance and we continued to walk through the main lab room till we reached the table.

"Right you on the table and make it snappy!" Captain Kurotsuchi pointed to Raven then the table. Raven growled at him for his lack of appreciation towards her but she did as she was asked knowing I would stop anything if he went too far.

Once she was on the table, Nemu clicked the restraints in place on Raven's arms and legs. She then got from her operating equipment table were some wire connectors and a head gear that had a wire connecting to the main computer. Once the connectors where clamped onto Raven's body and then connected to the head gear the computer started up and a sound of a heartbeat flowed through the lab.

Charts of Raven's body appeared on the screen along with a chart that seemed to be measuring her aura. My eyes widened to the fact that there was so much aura within her body that it practically replaces her blood.

"Captain Kurostuchi if I'm seeing what I'm seeing then if her aura replaces her blood doesn't that mean that she is incapable of major injuries and healing would be so much faster"

"Yes you are somewhat correct her healing is faster than anyone else in the soul society but when she is using Bankai she uses her aura. One of the abilities I have heard is that she can use her own blood or in her case 'blood aura' to control another person's Zanpakuto, to is why she is a threat to us."

I glanced at Raven and she looked ashamed to have such power within her. I knew she would never control someone else's Zanpakuto without reason and she is no threat to us.

"She is no threat I know that for a fact but that power could help us in defeating enemies like Arrancars. I don't see why everyone thinks that she would do such thing!" I raised my voice to the other Captain and I could feel my breathing getting heaver by the second. I couldn't control my anger towards everyone who would think she would hurt everyone here in the Soul Society. Since I met her a week ago she has been nothing but kind to me, in her own way and her thoughts may not be that of revenge either. I get the feeling she wants to be accepted for what she is not what people think of her. In some way me and Raven have a lot in common.

"You seem very attached to her in the passing week Captain Nakamura" he gave me a slight creepy smirk that had my hairs standing on end. The sooner we get out of here the better.

"Of course we have become great friends over this week and as my duty as a friend I intend to defend her in any way I can" I looked over to Raven and saw her face light up from this despair she was in to gratitude of my announced friendship.

"Oh good grief your making me sick" the clown looking Captain remarked sickly then went back to his work.

I stood next to Raven to which I got a nasty look from Captain Kurostuchi but he restrained from saying anything because he knew what would happen if he did. I smiled at her "I mean every word you know. I know it's been a week but in that time I feel like that we have known each other forever. I know there is a past you are not willing to tell me but I will wait till you are ready".

A rare occurrence happened that I saw a smile become on Raven's face "Thanks so much Michiko it means a lot to me. I have never made friends before because of my previous position in squad 2 and that a friend becomes a burden but now I wish I made them long ago. When this is over I am willing to tell you about my past as you have done so much for me, not this but sticking with me knowing that everyone else dislikes me" My smile grew bigger and I found it hard to not cry as she had so much pain in her voice that I could ever imagine and soon I may find out what causes her pain and help her in any way I can.

"You're very welcome my friend"
