3RD POV

Kuro : " Nee, Snowy! Want to go somewhere? "

Yuki looked to Kuro, and nodded rapidly at Kuro's idea.

Yuki : " Where will we go? "

Yuki asked happily.

Kuro : " Hmm, ah! I know a place! Follow me! "

Yuki nodded, and they walks side by side. The sound of the birds chirping, footsteps and a happily humming Kuro filled the area.

Yuki : " Where is the place you think of? "

Kuro : " Mm? It's a forest! There's a waterfall too! I was there when me and mommy and daddy went on a picnic! "

Yuki : " Oo... that sounds fun! "

Kuro nodded happily at Yuki's statement.

Kuro : " It was fun! Dad even caught a frog and put the frog on mommy's neck! "

They both laughed at Kuro's funny dad.

After a few minutes of walking, they finally reach the forest.

Yuki : " Waaa!!! "

Kuro : " It looks beautiful right?! "

Kuro asked to Yuki with a wide smile, she replied by sending the same smile.

Kuro : " Oh yeah, the waterfall! "

Kuro then dragged Yuki's arm and walks away.

Yuki : " E-Eh?! K-Kuro!!! "

After a few seconds of walking... they then reach a field... With a waterfall and trees.

The sound of water flowing, birds chirping. And the squirrel on the trees... and the gust of the wind...

It felt good hearing it... the smell of the air, it's clean. And the view of course, is breathtaking.

Then, Yuki saw Kuro walking to the river. So she followed him, Kuro then stopped on his track when he is a few centimeters away from the river. Then, he crouch down, and suddenly.

*Fuuuush*

Kuro turns back and splash a water at Yuki. Which he successfully sent to Yuki's clothes, making her clothes wet.

Yuki : " Ah!!! KURO!!! "

Kuro giggles and then burst out laughing, Yuki pouted and ran to the river and splash a water at him too.

The both of them smiles widely, and of course, happily. Right now, they don't think about the consequences of doing this. The only thing on their mind is...

Kuro & Yuki : ( This is fun..! )

Yuki looked at Kuro who's smiling brightly.

Yuki : " K-Kuro! "

Kuro : " Mm? "

Yuki : "

I'm glad that I met you! "

Yuki said with a bright smile.

Kuro : " Me too! "

Kuro replies with a same... bright smile.

*RIIIIIIIIING*

Yuki... and Kuro opened their eyes, with a tear from their eyes.

Yuki & Kuro : ( Eh..? )

Yuki and Kuro looked around and Yuki saw her own room. While Kuro saw the white cloud.

Yuki & Kuro : ( ... A dream... )

Although it's a dream, they knew very well that it already happens in the past. She couldn't help but let her tear flows more from her eyes. But Kuro didn't mind of it, maybe he will met her later... Although he wonders if she will be mad at him for not telling her.

After a few seconds, she calms down... Then, she wipes her tear.

Kuro, stood up and stretch his body.

She then sat on her bed and get out from her bed. Then, she walks to the bathroom and takes a bath.

Kuro, forms his black hoodie, black pants, black shoes and uses [ Shunpo ]. He then appeared in front of a bathing shop and enters it.

After they finished taking their bath, Yuki put on her school uniform. While Kuro dries his hair with a towel.

Then, Yuki went to the kitchen room. She wears her apron and took an egg, she put the pan on the stove. Then, she pours oil on the pan and she turn on the stove's fire.

Then, she cracks the egg and pour the inside to a cup and began cooking.

After she finished her cooking, she turn off the stove. And she pour the finished egg to the plate.

Then, she began eating, while Kuro ran to a supermarket and bought a instant noodles and makes it there.

Timeskip

After Yuki finished eating, cleaning the dishes. She took her bag and head to the school.

The trip to school is as usual, she met her friends and talk to each other.

While Kuro, walks on the same street Yuki's walking right now. He's currently wondering what he'll do.

The both of them, didn't realized that they passed each other... Time seems to slowed down for Yuki, she looked back at the person she just walked past.

While Kuro, uses [ Shunpo ] to disappears.

Yuki / Kuro : ( Kuro..? / That's close... )

Yuki POV

Yuki : ( My imagination..? )

Shuun : " Earth to Yuki! You okay there? "

Yuki : " Y-Yes... "

We then continue our trip to school...

Yuki : ( Kuro... )

Flashback

Yuki : " K-Kuro... s-stop the movie..! "

I said as I buried my face to Kuro's lap.

Movie : " AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! "

Yuki : " HIII!!! "

I screamed as I heard a shout, then, I felt a hand patting my head.

I looked up and saw Kuro smiling.

Kuro : " It's okay! I'm staying here with you right? "

I nodded a bit...

Yuki : " K-Kuro... "

Kuro : " Mm? "

Yuki : " I-I'm afraid... "

Kuro : " Mm... then I'll stay with you forever! "

Yuki : " Mm? "

Kuro : " You won't be afraid anymore if I stay with you right? "

Kuro said with a wide smile.

Yuki : " Mm... your promise..? "

Kuro then nodded with a smile...

Kuro : " It's a promise! "

Yuki : " Ah... I'm glad... "

Present Time

Yuki : ( Kuro... )

Then, a tear fell from my eyes...

Kuro POV

Kuro : " 499, 500! "

I said as I finished my push-up, then, I let my body fall to the ground. Sweat falls from my face and body, as I breathed out. Then, I push my body up and stood up.

Kuro : ( ... I guess I'll just go to Hueco Mondo... or should I... )

Kuro : " *Sigh* Guess I'll try to achieve Bankai... "

I need to get more stronger, last fight I had in Hueco Mondo... didn't end well...

Flashback

Kuro : " GETSUGA TENSHŌ!!! "

I sent a [ Getsuga Tenshō ] to the so called Espada. Smokes covered the area where I sent it... Then, it cleared out...

There stood him... unscathed.

Kuro : " Tck. "

I dashes at him as he does the same while unsheathing his own katana. I swung BZ horizontally to his left arm. When BZ almost makes contact with him. He easily bring his katana to his left side. Blocking it, then, unknown to me he charges [ Cero ] that's pointed to my stomach. But then, I felt it and I quickly uses [ Shunpo ] and disappears.

The Espada shots out his [ Cero ], but I'm already gone. I reappeared on the air, hovering. Then, I raised BZ up to the air.

Kuro : " Getsuga... TENSHŌ!!! "

Then, I swung it down towards the Espada. The [ Getsuga Tenshō ] flew towards the Espada. But he then disappears, and he suddenly reappears in front of me. Followed with the sound of.

*ZTTTTTTTTT*

He then slashes at me, I wanted to block but it was too late. He managed to slash across my chest. Then, he sent a kick towards my chest.

Kuro : " KAKH!!! "

I got sent out of the building and flew outside. My body rolls at the sand, but I arranged myself and stabbed BZ at the sand. Then, I skidded until I stop, I looked at the Espada. He dashes towards me from the building.

I dashes towards him too and swung my sword towards him. But he sent a left kick towards my sword. Leaving me vulnerable, I quickly uses [ Shunpo ] and reappeared behind him. He then blocks an uppercut from me with his free palm.

Then, I go on the offensive.

I tried slashing his head, but he just duck down and sent an kick while using his palm as a standing.

I dodge the kick that's aimed to my chin. Then, I sent a kick towards his back. Which I successfully sent, he got sent flying, but he rolled his body and landed. He then disappears and then, I heard the sound of-

*ZTTTTTTTTT*

-behind me, so I jumps up to the air and turned my body 180. And guess what, he truly is behind me. He slashes the place where I was.

??? : " Ho... you could dodge that? "

Kuro : " I'm not deaf, everytime you disappears it follows with the noise like a distorted ones. "

Then, I gripped the guard of BZ with both of my hands and slammed it down.

He then got sent skidding backwards.

Kuro : ( If this keeps goes on, I'll win! )

Unknown to me, the Espada himself haven't gotten serious.

The Espada stood up, I was about to charge at him. But he charges at me first.

Kuro : ( He's gotten faster?! )

I thought as I skidded back, he then pressed on me again. Then, he appears in front of me, he then thrust his katana. But he suddenly disappears and reappears next to my left. I was about to block but it was too late. As the Espada already thrust his katana before he teleported. So the katana already reached my head. But I duck my head down, and the katana missed only a millimeter.

Kuro : ( Shit! )

Then, I heard the sound of-

*ZTTTTTTTTTTT*

-in front of my face. My eyes widened, as my face is met by the knee of the Espada. Then, I got kneed on the head.

Kuro : " GHH... "

??? : " Bring out your mask... "

?!

Kuro : " If that's what you wanted... "

Then, I scratched the air in front of me. As my Hollow Mask appears on my face.

Then, I uses [ Shunpo ] but this time, it's more faster.

Before I use [ Shunpo ] while not wearing my mask, it took 1,50 seconds to appeared to where I wanted to. But if I use my mask, it took me 0,75 seconds.

Then, I reappeared behind him and sent a diagonal slash. This time, I managed to slash across his back. As a cut shows on his back. But then, the Espada disappears again and reappears far away from me.

I was about to charges at him but what he said next caught me off guard.

??? : " It appears I must get serious a bit... "

??? : " Confine, Murciélago. "

Then, a black with the outline of green flared from him. I could felt his power skyrocketed...

Then, the black Reishi disappears, as the Espada shows himself...

??? : " Tips of advice... don't blink, stay alert... "

Then, he forms an black spear, and he suddenly disappears and reappears in front of me. With the spear on my neck.

Kuro : ( Wh- )

I instinctively uses [ Getsuga Tenshō ] and then, it explodes... Smokes filled the area, then, it clears out...

Half of my mask... got destroyed.

Kuro : ( I couldn't even react... )

I retreated away while recovering my mask.

Kuro : ( I must think of a pl- )

Then, the Espada appears in front of me, I swung BZ. But he already chokes my neck, he then fly away. I stabbed his stomach, but it proved to be futile as it only cut a bit. As if a very small piece of a wood stabbed onto your skin.

Then, he threw me down to a pillar. Unknown to me, a [ Cero ] is coming towards me. But it's more different...

My view is blurring, but then, I finally see a black with a outline of green coming towards me?!

*VUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNGGGGG*

The Cero, no, [ Cero Oscuras ], engulfed me as I got sent flying to another pillar. Smokes covered at where I got sent inside the pillar. Then, the smoke clears out, showing my Shihakusho that is ripped. Wounds on my body, my Hollow Mask that's no more. Then, I started to puke blood, I staggered to the ground.

But then, I slowly stood up.

??? : " ... "

Kuro : ( He's... too strong! )

??? : " Just give up and accept that you're going to die. "

Kuro : " *Chuckle* Give up? "

I started to cough.

Kuro : " Sorry but, I am not going to give up that easily. I'll only give up once I truly died... "

??? : " ... Is that so? Then... "

The Espada's Reishi... flared up, as he himself got engulfed by his own Reishi. Then... the Reishi clears out, and he himself is shown.

My eyes widened because of his Reishi that skyrocketed.

??? : " Resurrecion, Segunda Etapa... "

Kuro : ( ... )

I looked carefully at him, then, he suddenly expanded his legs. Then, he dashes towards me, I watched carefully until...

Kuro : ( Wh- )

... How?

I didn't even heard the sound of a distorted voice, I even saw him in front of me... So how?

Then, he threw my head as I got sent flying. I quickly arranged myself, but again. It happens... I saw him, right in front of my eyes. But suddenly I felt a knee attack from my back.

I quickly put on my Hollow Mask, I waited for him. Then, I saw him hovering at the air. He then flew towards me.

Kuro : ( Watch out for him... )

I waited for a sudden attack, but it didn't come. He kept on flying towards me, so I raised BZ. Then, I envelopes Getsuga Tenshō on BZ. I swung BZ horizontally but then...

Kuro : " ?! "

The Espada just slammed his right palm onto my Mask, and to my head and threw me towards the sand.

Smokes covered the area where I got sent, then, I felt something circled around my neck. The smokes then cleared out, I looked and noticed that the thing. That encircled my neck belongs to the Espada.

Kuro : " GHH, d-damn y-you..! "

My vision became blurry, as no oxygen is entering my body. Then, I heard the Espada talked.

??? : " Goodbye then. "

Then, the Espada points his finger towards my chest and a [ Cero ] is made.

I closed my eyes, waiting to be killed. Until...

???1 : " You're going to give up that easily, Kuro?! "

My eyes widened as I knew that voice. I opened my eyes and saw her, Sana.

Kuro : " S-Sana?! "

3RD POV

Sana, swung her katana towards the Espada. But then, the Espada suddenly disappears, although Kuro is released.

Kuro : " *Cough* *Cough* BEHIND YOU! "

It's too late, the Espada, summoned a spear and stabbed her stomach.

Sana's eyes widened, as Kuro's eyes widened. Sana then falls to the ground. Kuro, could only watch.

Kuro : " S-Sana... "

Kuro, could only watch, as Sana got stabbed, and falls.

Kuro's Hollow side... snapped.

Then, a black with the outline of red Reishi flared up from him. Kuro roared with his hollow voice...

Then, a mask is formed on Kuro's face. As Kuro, continued to roar.

Then, Kuro stopped roaring.

Then, out of nowhere, a Garganta opens up. A man shows up, as he then disappears and reappears in front of Kuro. Then, he grabbed the both of his horns, and then. He breaks the horns, as the mask disappears. And then, Kuro goes unconscious...

Present Time, Kuro POV

I didn't knows what happened after I blacked out... I only saw Sana lying at the ground...

It was then Shiro told me about what happened. So I, promises myself that I would control my Hollow side. Although for that I must subjugate Shiro, and achieve Bankai too.

I too, still... remembered that day... when I promised to protect her...

Flashback

How... how did this happens?

We were just heading to a supermarket to buy snacks...

Then, these murderers come and kills people... They even held hostage...

*BANG*

I closed Yuki's and Kyu's eyes... while I looked away...

Why? Why would he kill them? What have the innocents done to them?!

???1 : " Ah, she's dead, what're you gonna do police?! "

The one who murders her ask.

???2 : " GIVE US A CAR AND WE'LL GO IN PEACE! SIMPLE RIGHT? OR DO YOU WANT MORE HOSTAGES TO BE KILLED?! "

Then, the first murderer looks at me, he then looks at Yuki.

*Smirks*

???1 : " Oi, Zen... look what we got here... *Chuckles darkly* "

Zen, looked at Yuki...

He then came to Yuki, but not before I came in front of her.

Kuro : " Don't take her! Just take me! "

Zen : " Shut the fuck up kid! "

Zen points his gun at my head, I didn't move aside. And I just looked at him, enraged.

Zen : " Ho, a courageous one? But meh, you'll die. "

Then, Zen pulls the trigger. I waited for it, the bullet then hit my head. Yuki and Kyu looked away in horror. But...

*Tang*

I opened my eyes too see him shocked, I quickly took this opportunity and kicked his balls.

Zen : " MM!!! "

Kuro : ( I don't know why I'm not dead yet, but I must take this opportunity! )

Then, the other murderer points his gun at me. But a shoot came from the outside shoots the murderer's backhand.

The murderer scream in pain, but I remembered that the one that I kicked at the balls is still probably conscious. So I push him and let him fall to the ground. Then, I sat on his chest and began punching his head.

After I looked at his beaten face I stopped and looked around.

Kuro : ( Yuki! )

I search for Yuki and saw her safe. I came to her and Kyu's sides.

Then, I looked to Yuki and Kyu.

Kuro : " Guys, guys? "

The both of them then looked at me, a bit shaken.

Yuki / Kyu : " K-Kuro! / B-Big bro Kuro!!! "

The both of them tackled me to the ground. Then, they cried out, I tried to move my hand. But it seems that I'm still too shaken up too...

Yuki : " B-Baka! D-Don't do anything like that again!!! "

Kuro : " Hehehe... it's okay, cause I'll always protect you guys! It's a promise! "

I said with a bright smile...

Present Time

Kuro : ( *Chuckle* I truly wonder, will she even need my protection now..? )

I stretched out my body, as I uses [ Shunpo ] to find a place where there are no people. When I find the best spot, I summoned Shiro.

Shiro smirks at me, as he took out his own BZ and SZ. I too took out my BZ and SZ, then, we charged towards each other.
