The Pacifist Arrancar

Soul One: The Soul

"Neh neh, Youko-chan! Check this out! I managed to create a ball purely out of Reiryoku!"

A semi-giant fox-like creature with a fox-like mask and nine tails growled. "My name ain't 'Youko-chan', Chibi! My name is - - -! Say it with me! -. -. -!"

The small girl with jet black hair and big violet eyes pouted, dissipating the Reiryoku ball on her hand. "My name isn't 'Chibi'! It's Rukia! Ru-Ki-A!"

The fox scoffed. "Tch, fine, I'll call you 'Rukia'..." He paused, before smirking. "When I get reincarnated back to a living being..."

*SNAP*

"Youko-chan, you meanie!"

*STOMP*

"OW! WHY OVER THE JEWELS, YOU LITTLE PIPSQUEAK!"

"Nyah~!"

"Why you! Come 'ere!"

"No!"

"Just get over here! Ngh!"

"Kya!"

"Got ya! Now... TICKLE TORTURE!"

"Ahahahaha! S-stop! Y-Youko-chan! Ahahahaha, it hurts! Ahahahaha, STOP IT! Ahahaha!"

"Not 'till you apologize, you ungrateful brat!"

"Ahahaha, stop! Hahahaha... Hehehehe, a-alright! I'm sorry! Ahahaha, stop it, please!"

The fox finally stopped as Rukia managed to stop laughing. She grinned and pounced on him.

"WAH!"

The two rolled before the fox was on the bottom with Rukia on the top, both of them laughing.

"Neh... Chibi..."

Ignoring the nickname, Rukia answered, "Hmm?"

"If you were to choose between me or your power... which would you choose?"

Rukia blinked before tapping the fox's snout. "What are you talking about, Youko-chan? Didn't you promise that you'll marry me later? Of course I'll stay with you!"

The fox chuckled. "Yeah... I guess I agreed to do that..." "Although you forced me to..." He thought the last part

There was a moment of silence before the fox said, "Rukia..."

The girl blinked in surprise at the sudden announcement by her name. "Hmm?"

"Arigatou..."

"Huh? What are you-..."

Suddenly, Rukia found her face covered with a large hand and all went black.

Kuchiki Rukia snapped open her eyes, gasping as she sat up quickly, her hand over her head.

"Wh-what was that...?"

Gathering her wits, she went over the dream. "I rarely have dreams of my childhood, but why does this one seem so particular? Besides the fact that I was able to summon Reiryoku earlier than I imagine, but..."

One last thought disturbed her.

"Who was that Hollow...?"

The fox slowly and gently placed Rukia on the ground as he heard rustling behind him. turning around, he was met with an old man with a long white beard. He was bald and his eyes were closed. He wore a black Hakama with a white Haori over it. In his hands was a large cane. The fox chuckled.

"Long time, hasn't it... Yamamoto Genryuusai?"

"Long time it has... Gran Zorro..." The now named Yamamoto spoke. The fox sighed.

"How long has it been since we last seen each other, old friend?"

The Shinigami chuckled. Glancing at the girl, he said, "Is this the child?"

Gran Zorro nodded. "That's her..." He looked pleadingly at the Shinigami. "Please, take her away from me. It's too dangerous for her to stay with me, and although I detest to part from her, it's dangerous for her to stay with me, especially with all the Hollows still around here..."

Yamamoto nodded, picking up the girl in his arms. "Is this alright...?"

The fox sighed. "As long as she's safe, I don't care where or what she ends up... Even if she becomes a Shinigami... Just keep her safe... It was bad enough I found her about to be eaten... I don't want myself being added to that..."

The old man nodded as he started to leave. "Very well then, any other requests?"

"Yeah... Seal her memoires, will'ya? Last thing we need is her becoming a Shinigami, only to hesitate when killing a Hollow... Neh?"

Yamamoto chuckled. "Yes... Well, if that is all..."

"Wait..."

The old man stopped as the fox stood up and went up to the girl. Reaching into his fur, he took out a beautiful necklace with a greenish-blue crystal presented. Taking a huge breath, he placed it around the girl's neck.

"This is my present to her. If she survives it's curse, then it will bless her instead... I hope it'll help her survive..."

The old man nodded as the fox touched the girl's forehead with his tail.

"And last of all... something to help on her journey..."

Yamamoto sighed. "You sure are taking a great gamble, Gran Zorro..."

The fox chuckled. "Yeah, I guess I am..."

Suddenly, a roar was heard. The fox sighed.

"Go... I'll hold them off! Take her to safety!"

The old man nodded in respect as he blurred away.

The fox then got onto his hind legs, his nine tails spreading out. he growled.

"Alright, you damn Hollow-wanna-be's! You wanna fight! Come an' get 'im!"

With that the fox roared out a deafening and frightening roar and sped into the forest, before thinking out:

"Be safe... Rukia... Goodbye..."

And he disappeared into the forest.

A slit blue eye opened, taking a look around. Smoke arouse as the Ryouka's fought many opponents. The figure sighed as his rabbit-like boned ears twitched at every sound made. Landing on thin air, he surveyed the area before feeling a great deal of Reiatsu pouring from Senzaikyuu.

He sighed, gripping his Zanpaktou, and walked forward.

As he looked at the tower known as the Senzaikyuu and narrowed his eyes, rustling his black Hakama to show a fist-sized hole on the middle of his chest.

Hopping onto a pole, he sniffed. He then narrowed his eyes.

"She's close..."

With a leap, he jumped off the pole and towards the Senzaikyuu.

"I'm coming..."

He then blurred out of existence with a sound.

"Rukia..."

(Later...)

Kuchiki Byakuya narrowed his eyes as Shihoin Yoruichi came to the rescue to prevent the man from using his Zanpaktou. Ichigo layed on the woman's shoulders, unconscious, as Rukia watched from afar.

"Who is that woman? How does she know Nii-sama?"

Suddenly, an unfamiliar Reitasu filled the air. Everyone's eyes widened as a figure blurred behind Rukia.

They turned around to see a figure with a young man's body. He had blonde spiky hair and three sets of whiskers on his right cheek. His eyes were bright blue as the sky and slit. On his head were a pair of rabbit-shaped boned ears. He wore a black Hakama similar to the Shinigami's and held a Zanpaktou. But the two most noticeable things were the jaw-like mask fragments on his right cheek and the fist-sized holes in the middle of his chest.

Rukia shivered as the figure's cold blue eyes stared at her, as if peering her soul (lol). Suddenly, what he said next made her fear of her life in the next chapter:

"I finally found you... Rukia..."

Ignisha: I kinda had this idea for a while, and wanted to bring it out, since no one apparently had this idea... Well, just to make sure you guys won't wait for me, this story's not gonna update anytime soon... That is all.
