The Ancient One
Chapter 1
Awakening
Hueco Mundo, Many, many years ago.
"Leave Yamamoto" Yuki Uzumaki screams as she parries a strike from a Vasto Lorde, one that she knew very well.
"But" A young man known as Shigekuni Yamamoto tries to argue.
"Leave" A wave of Reiatsu launches from Yuki, forcibly banishing Yamamoto back to the Soul Society.
The Vasto Lorde laughs "You certainly have a way of gathering loyal followers, Dobe"
Yuki snorts inelegantly "And you have a way of dying every time I fight seriously, which is worse I wonder?" Yuki is five foot six with a mane of crimson hair that goes down to her waist wearing a Shinigami Shihakusho, in her right hand is her Zanpakutō, currently in Shikai it is a Katana that is pure white with a intricate six-pointed snowflake design for a Tsuba. It's name is Chifuyu and it is a powerful Ice-type Zanpakutō and currently the strongest Zanpakutō in existence. In her ears Yuki has snowflake earrings and on her head is a silver tiara.
"Damn you, I am an Uchiha, I am the strongest!" shouts the Vasto Lorde Malévolo (Malevolent) who was known in life as Sasuke Uchiha, dressed in Samurai style armor made from Hollow bone and wearing a ANBU style Hollow Mask with markings to look like a hawk, in the middle of his chest is his Hollow Hole. Hidden behind the mask is a blazing Mangekyō Sharingan, once a very powerful Dojutsu, now useless in the afterlife due to the lack of Chakra in both the user and the opponent. In his hands is a Chokutō similar to the one he wielded in life but made out of Hollow bone, a small chip is missing and a crack radiating from where Yuki's Chifuyu struck it when blocking.
Yuki raises and eyebrow and simply states "Maybe in life you were the strongest, but in death I am stronger!" Yuki raises her Chifuyu and strikes down shouting "Kurai Hanketsu"
Chifuyu pierces through Sasuke's chest, exactly an inch above his Hollow Hole. Sasuke smiles grimly "I still win Dobe" The powerful ice attack envelops them both, Sasuke's reiatsu merges inside the attack with Yuki's to make it affect them both.
Sasuke is purified by Chifuyu and sent to the Soul society without memories of his past. Yuki is caught in the blast of ice and frozen into a tower of ice several kilometers high.
A tower that will be known as one of the few permanent landmarks within Hueco Mundo for over two millennia.
-TAO-
Hueco Mundo, sixteen years before the Winter War.
Amidst the endless plains of Hueco Mundo, a Tower of Ice that reaches up to Heaven exists, to the Hollows this is a place of fear, the powers that formed the tower are so potent that even after two millennia they are strong enough to freeze even Arrancar.
Once Sōsuke Aizen tried to approach the Tower, even with the abnormal strength of his reiatsu, he still couldn't enter the tower. It's presence has since then forever mocked him, a place that not even he can enter.
Within the tower there is only two rooms, the tower is actually hollow with only two entries, the outer room is only a pathway that winds around the inner room, halfway between the two entries from the outside are two doors to the inner room. Within the inner room is a large block of ice reaching upwards towards the sky, the tower has no roof and the moonlight of Hueco Mundo shines directly down on the block of ice, within the ice is Yuki Uzumaki.
Despite being frozen for over two millennia Yuki is still alive, as evidenced by the cracks in her prison where her power is fighting to get out.
On this day, a day like the billions that came before it. A day that is completely and utterly unremarkable, Yuki shatters her prison.
Cough Yuki falls to her knees, looking around she smiles "No Teme you don't win, I do" weakened Yuki gets to her feet and staggers a bit. She uses her ancient Kido powers to open a portal between Hueco Mundo and the Mortal Realm. A task far easier then opening a portal to the Soul Society, Yuki then jumps into the portal.
-TAO-
Karakura Town, outside of the Kurosaki Home.
Yuki emerges from the portal in front of a house, weakened even more by her exertions she stumbles, but before she can hit the ground she is caught.
Yuki looks up to see a woman with long and wavy brown hair in a blue dress, she has brown eyes and a kind face. Yuki can sense power emanating from her, similar to Reishi and Reiatsu but with a hint of life.
"Are you okay" the woman asks, Yuki frowns as she can't understand what the woman is saying
"What did you say?" Yuki asks the woman.
Masaki Kurosaki was just minding her own business as she waited for her husband to show up after spending the day learning with her former fiancée… boy did it seem weird to think that.
She is shocked out of her thoughts when a swirling black portal opens up and a female Shinigami falls out of it. The Shinigami stumbles and Masaki leaps forwards to catch her. Masaki is shocked by the power emanating from this woman… no this Shinigami. She opens her mouth and asks "Are you okay?"
The Shinigami stares blankly at her and then says something in a language she has never heard before.
Before either of them can say anything more Isshin Kurosaki walks into the yard "Masaki who are you talking to…"
Yuki nearly jumps when she hears another voice, she looks towards the source of the voice and frowns, what the "Shinigami!" she exclaims.
The man looks straight at her with surprise in his eyes, "What are you doing in the Mortal Realm" Yuki asks.
The man still shocked by his expressions answers "I have lost my powers, saving the woman holding you from Hollowfying, why are you speaking the ancient tongue?"
Yuki frowns in confusion "Ancient tongue? What do you mean? This is the language I have always spoken"
The man almost staggers back "Who, who are you?"
Yuki still frowning in confusion answers "I am Yuki Uzumaki"
The man starts to look concerned "What division of the Gotei Thirteen are you from?"
Yuki is utterly confused and snaps "What the hell are you talking about? What is this Gotei Thirteen?"
The woman looks to the man and asks "Isshin, what are you asking her?"
The man looks back at the woman "I asked her what division she was from, she doesn't know what the Gotei Thirteen is"
Yuki frowns in anger and activates a Kido she had created a while ago "Bakudo Hyaku-To-Nana: Gengo Rikai" a golden aura surrounds Yuki and the woman
The man and woman look at Yuki in confusion and she snaps "What the hell is going on?"
They both jump slightly in shock and the man asks "Wait, how can you suddenly speak modern Japanese?"
Yuki face-palms in frustration "The Kido I used lets me understand other languages, I never knew why it existed but know I can understand, now tell who are you two?"
"I am Masaki Kurosaki" Masaki answers.
"I am Isshin Kurosaki, formerly Isshin Shiba, Captain on the Tenth Division of the Gotei Thirteen" Isshin replies.
Yuki frowns at Isshin "Shiba? I remember a little gaki by the name of Tatewaki Shiba, that kept following me around asking me to teach him how to be 'an awesome Shinigami like Nee-chan'"
Isshin pales at that statement, Masaki notices and asks "Isshin, what wrong? Do you know this Tatewaki Shiba?"
Isshin nods slowly "Tatewaki Shiba was the Shiba clan head over two thousand years ago when Yamamoto founded the Gotei"
Yuki's eyes go wide in surprise "Wait! Yamamoto! As in Shigekuni Yamamoto?"
Isshin nods in answer "Yes, do you know him?"
Yuki nods slightly distracted "Yes, I was his Sensei in the arts of the Shinigami"
Isshin nearly faints with shock, he is speaking with the legendary Hiki, the immensely powerful Shinigami who taught Yamamoto and was taught by the Reiou himself. Masaki instantly notices his change in demeanor "Isshin, do you know who she is?"
Isshin nods slowly while both Yuki and Masaki watch him with hawk like intensity "Yes, the Shinigami know her as the legendary Hiki, the Ice Princess of the Soul Society. Said to be the first Shinigami ever created, taught by the Reiou himself. She was said to be immensely powerful, able to fight Vasto Lordes on equal footing, and back in those times Vasto Lordes were many times stronger than they are nowadays. Somewhere on the magnitude of five times stronger, if that is true, Yuki may very well be the strongest being in existence"
Yuki snorts with exasperation "Yeah, possibly. But I am still weak from the energy drain I had from trying to break free of a prison made by my own stupidity"
Isshin frowns in surprise "What do you mean?"
Yuki laughs bitterly "I had the stupid idea of fighting the strongest Vasto Lorde of my time, but he was my rival in life and the one who killed me, as I killed him. In our final battle it was almost identical to how we died in life, but this time I was lucky and was only imprisoned in my ice rather then killed like he was. Still guess he got the last laugh, maybe…"
Isshin looks intrigued "Maybe what?"
Yuki smiles at him "If there is one exiled Shinigami, are there more? I would like to learn more of this new world I am in, it must be far more interesting than the one I knew"
Masaki and Isshin smile at Yuki, although none of them knew it, the arrival of Yuki was the turning point in many ways. Many long thought out plans were destroyed, and Yuki, Yuki found a reason to continue.
-TAO-
Sixteen Years Later
"Hey!, What the hell do you think you punks are doing?" A young teenager with bright orange hair yells at a group of three wannabe punks.
The three look at the tall teen in awe "What do you think we're doing" one holds up a skateboard "We were skating around and having fun"
The boy kicks the brave one in the face, knocking him to the ground with a bleeding nose, he looks up at the two and shouts "Listen up you pond-scum! Do you see that!" and he points at a glass bottle with flowers in it next to a telephone pole near the entrance to the alley which was laying on its side. The teen glares at the two remaining punks.

Special Skill:...
"First question you" Ichigo points to the wannabe punk on the right.
"What me" the wannabe cowers
"What do you think that is?" Ichigo asks
The wannabe pointed out earlier looks at the glass bottle on its side and hesitantly replies "M-m-maybe it's an offering f-for some kid that got killed" after he finish this sentence Ichigo kicks him down shouting.
"Correct, Next question, you his friend, why's it lying on its side?"
The second wannabe nearly wets himself as he replies "W-w-we knocked it d-down while we were skateboarding we'r-" before he could finish Ichigo knocks him down with a kick as well.
Ichigo then shouts "Now go and apologize or the next ones will be for YOU!"
The two wannabes jump up shouting "We're sorry" as they carry away their unconscious friend.

Special Skill: He can see ghosts.
Ichigo turns around and walks over to the glass bottle he leans down and rights it before he says "There! that'll teach them a lesson!"
The ghost of a little girl appears in front of him with a short chain hanging from her chest, she looks at Ichigo and says "Thank you, Maybe now I'll find peace"
A feminine chuckle fills the alleyway, Ichigo turns to see Yuki standing there in her school uniform, ever since he was a boy Yuki had been his friend, she had grown up living at a candy store run by a man call Kisuke Urahara. She had always believed him when he said he could see ghosts, he idly wonders what she is doing here "Yuki!, what are you doing here?"
Yuki smiles sadly and looks at him with sorrow in her eyes "I'm sorry Ichigo"
Ichigo frowns in confusion "Sorry? What are you sorry for?"
Yuki lets a tear fall down her right cheek as she separates from her Gigai "For this, it's time for you to know more about the world of the afterlife" Ichigo stares in surprise at Yuki who is now in her Shihakusho with her silver tiara and snowflake earrings, at her waist her Zanpakutō sits in its sheath in its sealed form of a katana.
