Dual Break...

I sat in a large ivory tower, right next to the window, my clothes were still torn here and there, my zanpakuto was gone, and my soul was in turmoil.

I looked down at my hand, and then a flash, there was blood, then another flash and it faded away...

In the end, I took all the blame, so Kokoro wouldn't get in trouble on my account, besides it was my fault anyways, Toshiro still doesn't like me much, and I don't care either way...what I'm worried about is if I lose control again, but not to my hollow...no it's...something else...

"Gah..." I closed my eyes as another memory came by, this time a dimly lit room, and I was starring out into a labratory...scientists were looking into the area I was in, my arms were bound, and I was floating in water (Hopefully)...

"No..." I shook my head and the memory faded away, then another came by, I was a little kid (Same as the Scientist one), but I was on my hands and knees, blood covered the area around me...I had a 1 foot long dagger in my left hand, and hundreds of bodies laid around me...demons, and some humans...
I walked towards my younger self, his face was buried in his right hand, then he looked up at me, and I felt a huge dense hostility from him, I sensed it behind me, I turned to see a silver / white haired boy, he had no weapon I could see, but he smirked evilly, and his eyes changed to green and yellow.
I turned to look at my younger self, his eyes flashed and they were bright blue, but demonic... He got up, and then materialized another weapon (what!? I already could that that then!? I thought...), it was a azure / blue flame like blade, the hilt was different (Like Emil Castagnier's Swords), and he held it in reverse grip.

"What...its' Lucied!!" I breathed. The White / silver haired boy laughed, amd then my younger self ran at him, while a unending wall of blades (Axes, Lances, Spears, daggers, etc), flew from behind the white / silver haired boy. Then the scene faded out.

I found myself breathing hard on the ground, I got back up and went to go look out of the slit of a window.

"Why again..." I breathed silently, then the pupils in my eyes disappeared, so they were blank, but were red in color...

"Haa...." I breathed, "No...I can't bust out of here...Headmaster tried to convince them it wasn't my fault...but it is...sorry everyone...if I'm going to die..." I looked back at my hands, then I balled them into fists. "Then so be it...but it;s not going to be easy to kill me...after all...I am a bio-weapon, an adaptable weapon of mass destruction...man...Kirei would have scolded me for saying that..." I smirked a bit... "Kirei..." I saw another memory, and she turned and smiled back at me..." Then it faded out.

"No...I can't fight now..." I whispered to myself.

Then are you just going to let yourself fade away? A voice asked in my mind...

"What the hell do you think?" I replied.

Same as always...you have to skills to kill anything, you can adapt to any situation, you know more than everyone else, from techniques to magic, to being able to use anything as a weapon, for now you are almost undefeated...and yet you sealed most of that power away, and now your going to a school to teach you how to use your Shinigami abilities properly...It continued...

"Whatever..." I closed my eyes. "It's none of your business."

I see..., well whatever back at you. But I'll say this, you are a highly trained killer, this is child's play for you, and yet you won't do anything...I know this is a simple task, but you don't want to think about hose memories anymore...It replied.

"Your point being?" I said opening my now dark cimson eyes, this time, they had a X through them, surrounded by a ring around it, and 4 comma like objects spun around in the ring.

Nothing, just that this is nothing...It said.

Haryugan, I thought to myself.

"I guess I'll be stuck here for a while..." I mumured, then I walked back to the window, and then I sensed something...

"Huh...what is that...?" I tried to look out some more, but couldn't. "Someone's on the move...by the energy I'm sensing...it could be...no...then again it might be...."

getting over fear

I winced from the pain across my torso as sensei-sama grabbed me across my waist and pulled me behind a tree with hias-san, and momo. I was still out of it. Black invading my sight only to recede then reappears, my hearing was fuzzy, I was dizzy, in pain but the huge trench that appeared suddenly brought me back to reality in a snap. I relaxed at shiros voice. He was here. I heard some shouting to control it and peered out. I froze. So his eyes weren’t just a trick of the light.

“He-he-he’s a h-h-hollow!” I gasped I felt momo’s hand on my shoulder and flinched back and turned away from the scene. I felt her wrap her arms around me.

‘Its ok” she soothed

I looked over at once to see kokoro’s reaction, her terror of hollows and all and I don’t think she realized that he wasn’t a hollow. But she couldn’t still be afraid could she? My hand on her shoulder proved me wrong. She flinched back. When she turned away I got a glimpse of her face. Her eyes were wide. I couldn’t detect any pupils and tears were pouring down her cheeks. I doubt she even noticed. I wrapped my arms around her and tried to calm her down at least a bit.

I heard the fight come to an end. I looked up at the presence of another.
“s-shiro” for once he wasn’t upset when I didn’t use his full name. Though I did see him wince when he pulled me up. When did he get taller than me?
“Stupid shrimp-no-more” I muttered feeling him chuckle. I leaned against him and he wrapped his arms around me, as did momo and Ran when she got here. I closed my eyes in shame. I thought I was strong, but instead got hurt immediately and couldn’t help. Plus I was crying like a baby. I felt the fourth squad arrive. Shiro yelled at anyone lower than fuku-taisho if they tried to take me. He finally released me to Unohana-taishou-sama and she let her spiritual pressure flow over me causing me to sleep.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke in the medical ward after…I don’t know how long actually. Momo was asleep in a chair, her head at my legs. She looked exhausted. I slowly got out of the bed careful not to disturb the wraps covering my chest
“Couldn’t they have left my shirt?” I thought blushing. I turned and wrapped my blanket around Momo and turned to walk out. I heard her whisper shiro’s name and smiled, turning back to leave. I lifted the curtain separating the room and almost screamed. Vathana-san. I immediately felt ashamed. But I couldn’t help it. He was a hollow. I swallowed my terror, I was unable to tell if he was awake or not, and rushed from the ward to…well anywhere but there

I went to see shiro. He made me tea and gave me his captains robe and told me we’ve been out for a week. He also told me my presumptions about Vathana-san were wrong. He wasn’t a hollow. He was something called a vizard. After promising to look vizard up in the library he walked me back to see unahana-taicho-sama and treatened that if I didn’t stay and act normal he’d tahe away all my pocky stash. He woke momo and brought her with him as unahana-taichou-sama entered.
So I waited. After a while he woke up. I felt so ashamed after being afraid that I swallowed my fear and hugged him. This was my friend. He wasn’t a hollow! I had no reason to be frightened. We started talking. He was saying how he was going to get in trouble with head captain-sama, and possibly be executed! I didn’t want to even think of that! Its so horrible! A bit later there was a knock. I answered.
“Shiro! “ I glomped him. I felt him glaring at Vathana-san and hit him across the back of his head. “if I have to be nice so do you.” He glared at me. “hey. I’m injured. Be nice!” he shoved me out the door with a “I don’t do nice brat. Wait here” and closed the door in my face. I stuck my tongue out at the door.
----------------------------sort lil shiro POV---------------------------------
“you just had to see what was wrong didn’t you?” I snarled to the boy in bed. “look at her! When she arrived at my quarters she could barely stand!”
“I didn’t ask for any help” vathana replied. He turned his head to the side and looked down with lidded eyes

“You little-“ I lunged at him
--------------------------end short lil shiro POV------------------------------
I opened the door at the broken lamp.

“SHIRO!” I cried trying to pull me back.
“Leave me alone!” she snarled and backhanded me. I fell to the floor in shock clutching my red cheek. I wasn’t the only one in shock

“kokoro…im-“ I didn’t wait to hear the rest. I ran crying once again. I ran to the old tree in the middle of the seretei and jumped up curling into a ball on one of the branches. I feel asleep again
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I know I’m playing the little scared etc girl. Its fun for me lol.and Vathana-san i didnt mean for you to sound like a jerk in the first. i'm not so good at creating words for characters i didnt create if it's still wrong ill change it. and i attempted to clear up the hollow mistake. i was working on another story and got confused.hope this is ok!

Now what...

"Is he going to be alright?" Kokoro asked.

Captain of the 4th division, Retsu Unohana smiled. "Yes, he'll be alright, he's lost a large amount of spiritual pressure, and some blood, but he seems to be recovering faster than the average Shinigami..."

"Huh...? Really?" Kokoro walked over to see Vathana...

"Gah..." He sat up quickly all of a sudden.

"WOAH!" Kokoro jumped a bit in surprise...

"Ahh...man..." He put his hand to his chest, he was shirtless anyways, just had bandage tape wrapped around his stomach and chest, and around one of his arms, also his entire left hand all the way to his elbow were wrapped up too. "Ow..."

"Your okay!" Kokoro said happily, she glomped him.

"Aaaahh!" He said in pain.

"Oh sorry..." Kokoro let go and backed up.

"How are you feeling Vathana-kun?" Unohana asked.

"I'm doing okay, I just feel a little weaker is all..." He answered.

"Vathana you should be more worried right now!" Kokoro said suddenly, Vathana looked at her.

"You took on an Arrancar! And you almost got killed, do you know what would of happened if you lost control of your-?" Vathana shook his head a bit lokking at Unohana. "-Gah...nevermind, anyways...I guess we're stuck here for a while...Headmaster said we may get in trouble for fighting against the Arrancar on our own, also...I'll talk to you about it later, Toko, Hias, Renton, Zakuro, Suchi,and Kikyo are coming over to see how we're doing..."

"I see..." Vathana said looking out his window, it was night time anyways....it had been a long day...

"Well I'll leave you two to your discussion," Unohana said smiling, and then leaving the room.

"Alright then, thank you so much Unohana-Taichou," We both said.

"!!!" I loooked out the window again.

"What is it?" Kokoro asked.

"...I sensed...something new...someone else is coming alongside the others...I think...she's a girl..." Vathana said, then he shook his head a bit. "Nevermind we'll find out when they get here..."

He looked down at the table next to him, his zanpakuto still radiated a small glow, only visible to his eyes...

"So...what do you think is going to happen now Kokoro-san?" He asked looking over at her.

"Well...you may get...into major trouble for the hollow mask thing, Shiro-kun (v raises an eyebrow, Kokoro smiles), Rangiku-san, Momo-chan,Ikkaku-san, Kenpachi-san, and the others saw it...so..."

"I might get executed by the Sokyoku..., no...Yamamoto-taichou might execute me himself..." Vathana said in a downcast... "I'd only last, 5-20 minutes against him...if I was at my full stength that is... but even then I'd barely have a chance..."

"Your full strength?" Kokoro asked a bit interested...

"It's...well...I put myself under a seal, having a lot of power at once can be dangerous you know," He answered.

"Oh I see..." Kokoro said, then there was a knock on the door...

Wow this is getting lenghty isn't it...

Student Profile (ikara-o-kage's OC)

Name: Kira Yamaneko
Age: 17
Appearance: Black hair tied back with a violet tipped black ribbon. An average face with lilac eye shadow almost always present, black eye liner around dark lilac eyes. She normally wears dark purple lipstick and her face is naturally pale, almost bone white. The normal shinigami/student uniform.
Personality: She's normally calm and collected, only going from cool and chilled to crazy and smiley when she has spent time with her fave fukutaichou, Yachiru of the 11th division.
Squad: 2, 7, or 11
Fave. Captain: Komamura-taichou and Zaraki-taichou
Place of Origin: Seireitei
Friends in the Gotei 13: Yachiru-fukutaichou because of their similar addiction to sweets... More to come as time goes on.
Abilities: She's a fast learner and rarely has to be told twice to do something. Sweets are one of her weaknesses off the field, on the field, her size tends to be both her strength and her weakness. She is skilled with some of the simpler kidou, and knows basic healing kidou. She is fast on her feet and fast to attack, though her power lacks until she enters Shikai. Her main skills are in the martial arts, and stealth attacks. Her zanpakuto has a story of her own...

Zanpakuto: Toorima (Phantom Killer/Thief)
Form: A simple wakizashi when sealed, a pair of bone white fingerless gloves and similar shin guards when in Shikai; they enhance her power to be even with her speed*. Bankai, the gloves and guards shift to a set of gauntels and greeves that almost triple Kira's attack power, though slowing her down a bit**. A white half-mask also forms on her face, resembling a lynx's face.
Shikai: 'Bokusatsu' (beat to death)
Bankai: 'Gekitou' (Feirce fighting)
Details: (*) To put it in numbers, instead of her normal 2/5 ratio of strength and speed, Shikai makes it 5/5 and evens it up. (**) For her Bankai, when I am allowed to pull it from my little bag of tricks, the gaunlet greeves are kinda an idea pulled from DMC Ifrit/Beowulf/Gilgamesh. For the numbers, think 6/4 strength speed ratio instead of 5/5. It adds more to it but takes away as well. And like all bankai, it gives her access to some more abilities. Hone(bone) Genkotsu(fist) would be her focusing her strength into her fist and delivering a one hit attack that would stun her opponent and deal some damage. She can access this in both Shikai and Bankai. Bankai makes it worth using regularly. Shikai, it is more of a lead up to a combo; knock them off their feet and then lay into them.
Story: Toorima was a black lynx from the artic regions, a legend in her own right for her thievery skills and stealth. She was killed by a sword when the people she lived off desided they were stronger than the natural legends that kept the balance around there. She became a spirit and when Kira was born she was sealed in the form of her zanpakuto. She told Kira this story just after she awakened her.

Oh, my....

I was about to do some paperwork when Matsumoto came into my office. The news did surprised me as I didn’t expect such thing would happened to my new students. We rushed to the scene straight away. The battle was still ongoing.. The enemy still hold on strong.. and Hadachi..? What the..? I already know of his ability but I really didn’t expect to see him in this state right now. He almost lost control over his inner hollow power but he managed to regain his consciousness after a while.

'C'mon Hadachi. U can't lose this one. Or we're all be in great trouble..', I whispered to myself.

However we were already prepared to interfere if Hadachi somehow mess it up. But for now, there's no need to get involved as that kid seemed to enjoy his battle. And even if we told him to stop, I knew very well he won’t do as been told.

'I’m sure Yama jii will get me for this..', I sighed.

Suddenly, I felt this strong reiatsu coming from behind me. It was Suchi-ru. Captain Zaraki gave me a meaningful look.

'I can’t let her get involve.. What’s already there is enough..’. I stepped up and block her way. I put my hand on her shoulder and looked straight into her eyes. 'Don’t. Let him finish that. It’s his battle or at least that's how he sees it.'
'But.. we must do something or..'
'No. I know u want to help your friends but for now we just stand back. Let’s have faith in him'
'What if something happened? What if he loses?'
'If such thing happens, trust me. We are the one who'll do the job. There are captains with us.'

I knew she was not satisfied by what I said but at least I managed to hold her back. I could tell that she had no idea of what's happening to Hadachi. and that's what make it more dangerous for her. They were not supposed to involve in this mess to start with. I was supposed to protect them but.. 'Why in the first place u did that Hadachi..?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two clashed, face to face. A moment later, there was silence. Both of them were hidden by the smoke. The reiatsu seemed to fade away. As the smoke began to clear up, we saw the arrancar and Hadachi, both holding zanpakutou that have pierced their enemies' bodies. Hadachi was his normal self again. The hollow mask had disappeared. He pulled his zanpakutou and blood gushing out from the arrancar. He himself was pretty bad. The arrancar sword did cut him thru, only a few inches missing his heart. We let out sighed of relieved. The fight had finished and he had won. The 4th squad members had arrived. Hadachi and Kokoro were taken by them. I could sensed that the other students were still in shocked and confused.

'It’s over. Take your students back to the academy. U should watched them more u know..', Toushiro said as he leave.
'Yeah, I know, I’m so sorry. Anyway, thanks guys.' He left with Matsumoto and Kenpachi.
'I’m sorry I couldn’t stop him earlier..', Ikkaku said to me as we led the students back.
'don’t worry. It’s already over. I’ll take the responsibility for this'.
Momo was quiet all the way and ask to leave early. Maybe she was worried about Kokoro. I told the students to head straight back to their dorm. They had enough for today. I went back to my office to gather up my stuff. I planned to leave early too because I wanted to check out on Hadachi and Kokoro at the relief station. I hope they were doing okay. But an application form caught my eyes. A new student? And at the other end of the table, there was another form. Gwen Shizuna, she wanted to quit. Ah...Looks like I can’t leave just yet..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-i hope this is ok. and sorry Suchi-ru. the headmaster just need to stop u ^^
