Chapter Two: Win

" Ichigo. Count down." Ichigo looked between the two." A-alright. On the count of three." He said going back and forth as the two stared at each other." One...." Byakuya slightly adjusted his foot." Two..." (Y/n) simply twisted her wrists and shoulders, a sick cracking being heard. Ichigo gulped." THREE!"
Suddenly, Byakuya appeared in front of her, his hand reaching towards her face to grab her.' Oh shit-!' Ichigo thought before he watched (Y/n) drop into a split and used her arms to push herself off the ground, swinging her foot around to hit Byakuya. He noticed and blocked it with his arm in time, getting pushed back a bit. (Y/n) quickly got up and jumped off the rooftop, landing onto her side a bit and rolling before she got up and began to run. Byakuya glared down at her before jumping down and proceeding to follow her." Shit I gotta go help-!"
"Just a moment." Ichigo flinched and turned around to see a male with white veil like clothing on, stopping above his behind. His face was covered and he wore a bright red body suit as well as a white mask that looked like a crescent moon. He also wore a moon earring.' That looks just like (Y/n)'s....!' Ichigo thought." Wait, don't tell me your-?!" The man chuckled." I am her Zanpakuto. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ichigo Kurosaki. I am Moeru Tsuki."

(Y/n) panted as she made sharp turns, trying to lose him.' Shit he's a captain for a reason.' She thought as she looked ahead, seeing him appear in front of her." You've lost. Scatter-" He said before he paused, confused as (Y/n) did a slide under him, going in between his legs.' The hell-?!' He thought confused and shocked as he looked behind him, watching her continue to run.' This girl is strange. She can't possibly be this strong.' He thought before continuing the chase.

'This isn't getting me anywhere...!' She thought as she then saw some soul reapers up ahead." There she is!" Rangiku pointed." We'll cut her off!" Renji said as he got his Zanpakuto ready. (Y/n) glared slightly.' Like hell I'm getting caught like this!' She thought before Byakuya flash stepped in front of her." Scatter..." he said.' Shit! I'm screwed if-!'
"Those who use their weakness in battle will become stronger. While you may not have the training, you will still be able to hold your own against a captain." Tsuki's previous words spoke in her mind, reminding her of who she was.
'That's right...! Tsuki, I really need some help right about now-!' She thought before she felt a rush of energy in her body, mostly in her chest.
"Now then, imagine yourself teleporting behind them and above them. Now keep that in mind and bring the energy to your feet and push." A voice spoke, almost like Moeru was trying to train her while being away. (Y/n) concentrated and felt the energy going to her legs, suddenly appearing in behind Byakuya before appearing in the air, on the rooftop above them." Wha-?!" Renji yelled in shock, while Byakuya and Rangiku stared in shock and disbelief." No way...!" Rangiku said.' I did it...!' (Y/n) thought before continuing to run, occasionally flash stepping when she needed." Rangiku, Renji, get the others. We're going to need more help." Byakuya said before flash stepping after her.

"What did you want to talk about?" Ichigo asked as he stared at the male in front of him. He seemed to hide his eyes and face, thought Ichgio could see his face was burned, or at least it looked like it was. " You know the reason they are after (Y/n) in the first place?" He asked." Well I was told about it, though I'm not sure I understand completely." Ichigo said as he rubbed the back of his neck." Her father is a very strong soul reaper, emperor even. However many people wanted him on their side and many of them hated him and wanted him dead. On the red full moon, which they call the blood moon, he killed an entire army by himself, hence the name. He was stabbed in the back and died on the field. Rumors say he haunts the field and the soul society every blood moon." He explained." But I must tell you something and then I need you to promise me something. Understand, Kurosaki?" Ichigo stared at him, unsure of what was going on.

"Headmaster, you don't really mean-!"
"I do. I am about to hunt this girl myself!"
"Old man, be rational. We can handle her."
Yamamoto turned and looked at the two captains." Please sir, let us gather and search for her." Captain Ukitake said." And if we can't then you can step in." Captain Kyokaru said. The headmaster looked at them." If you can't then I will have to step in. I know Byakuya is already chasing her. So I know he will do us good-"
Just then Rangiku and Renji busted in." Captain Kuchiki needs help! She's learned to flash step!" Renji said making the three look at them." What?!" Jushiro asked shocked." But she's not trained...!" Shunsui said also shocked. Yamamoto slammed his staff down." I want all soul reapers to search for her! She must be stopped! IMMEDIATELY!" He yelled.

Soon, every Captain, Lieutenant, and squad member was searching for the girl. Meanwhile, Ichgio was running around trying to find her, holding Moeru." Holy cow! She's got everyone looking for her!" He muttered as he watched everyone run around to find her, guarding every entrance and exit." They want her for a reason. They truly believe she is the reincarnation of the moon holder." Moeru spoke." You think so?" He asked as he continue to run from rooftop to rooftop." That or they believe she has some secrets to where he is and if he's alive." He replied." But she doesn't. She's never met her father." Ichgio said. Moeru got silent, as if knowing something." I know....but they don't know that. They make think she's lying." He spoke up. Ichigo thought for a moment." Let's just hope we can find her before they can." He said as he jumped off a rooftop, his shadow illuminated by the bright moon.' Ah.....a full moon.....' Moeru thought to himself.' Blood will be shed....'

(Y/n)'s point of view

Shit I cant go anywhere! I'm stuck in this fucking prison! I peeked out from behind the building, making sure no one was around me. I saw a group of soul reapers run past me.' Good now that they're gone I can-' I thought before a blade was next to my head. I flinched slightly." Well well well~ if it isn't our little runaway~" I looked behind me and saw that creepy guy with uneven fingernails. I glared at his smirking face." It's pleased to see you again, Moon Holder." He said. I couldn't even speak I was so pissed. The one creep I didn't want to run into. That and the freak with the bells on his hair." Can't say I'm not too upset." I said turning to face him." Oh? Were you expecting someone else?" He asked." I'm just glad it's not that sea urchin." I crossed my arms. He laughed." Ah yes. Captain Zaraki Kenpachi. He is one of the brutes we have here. Always about fighting and wanting to fight someone, blah blah blah." He said. I slowly took in his appearance. He wore what appears to be a captains uniform and coat but the rest of him looks unusual. One of his nails and longer than the others and the rest were normal. Somewhat. His skin was pale, paler than a piece of paper. He had strange black markings on his face and had a weird blue thing that made me question if it was his hair or not. He looks like a croissant. He had purple fur around his neck, kinda like a pimp. On top of that, he wore a weird golden face piece.' What the hell even is that? Why is everyone so damn crazy looking? That guy I challenged to tag had to be the most normal so far. I think Ichigo called him Bakuya. No...Byakuya? That sounds right.' I thought.

"Now then, it would appear you are turning into my little experiment after all~" he said grinning. Gross, his teeth looked yellow. And his grin was all crooked and just...unsettling." I'd like to see you try." I challenged." My dear, you don't realize who or what you're up against. I'm a captain and you are nothing but a little girl-" He said before I appeared behind him. He quickly looked behind him, his eyes wide before I kicked him, watching him go flying. I panted, feeling my hand shake as I watched him go through two buildings. Soul reapers started gathering around the holes before looking at my direction." There she is!" One yelled.' Shit!' I thought before turning and continuing to run.' Damnit I need Moeru and fast!' I thought as I ran from roof top to rooftop.

———

I don't know how long I've been running for. How long have I been here? Has it been hours? It must be because I was in that cell for an hour or two, maybe three. I feel like I've been here forever.' Am I really this important to them?' I thought to myself.' If my father was the Moon Holder or whatever they called me, does that mean I'm important? I'm strong? What if I'm not like my father...?'
"There she is!" I heard people behind me. I looked over and saw a spiky red head jump up on the rooftop with some bald dude." You're cornered now!" He yelled, holding his Zanpakuto up.' What if I'm not good enough?' I thought as I went faster. I looked in front of me and saw that flower guy, Byakuya, and some girl with braids." Soi Fon." He said, which she nodded and they both got their Zanpakuto's out.
'It doesn't matter...! I won't let them take me! Mom wouldn't want me to-!'
"Just know I'll always be there....I-I love you both.." Mom's words ran through my head.' Mom...' I thought.' I need guidance....! Please....!'

Flashback

"Hey! Leave her alone!" I yelled at a group of kids, who was picking on another girl, pulling her hair and tugging on her toys. The group of kids looked over at me." What'd you say?" One asked letting her hair go, which made her run off, not caring about her toys, crying her eyes out. One of the kids was a year or so older than me and he clearly wasn't hugged enough or thought because he was older he can do whatever.
"I said leave her alone you big bully!" I said glaring at him with a pout." Oh yeah? Get her!" He said before the two of his friends began to pull and hit me, making wince and fight back." Shut up!" The boy said as he smacked me across the face.

"(Y/n)? (Y/n)?" I heard my mother call out while I stayed curled up near the sandbox, panting a bit. I heard her gasp and footsteps hurrying." (Y/n)! What happened to you?!" She asked as she helped me up. She gently cupped my cheeks." Awww my sweet baby..!" She said." Im ok mom..." I said as I stood up weakly." What happened?" She asked. I opened my mouth before the girl from earlier came up to me." T-thank you for sticking up for me....." she said. I nodded." No problem..." I said holding my hands up, holding her dolls out. She took them with a smile." Thank you! I'll remember this! I'll see you tomorrow!" She said before running off. I looked back at my mom." You...helped her?" I nodded. She smiled gently." I'm very proud of you. Let's go home and treat you, Hm?" She said with a smile as she held my hand. I looked down, tightening my grip." Mom....? Is it wrong...? To feel a bit regretful?" I asked, looking up." Regretful? Why's that dear?"
"If helping people means you get hurt...is it worth helping people out?" I asked stumbling a bit. Mom suddenly picked me up and let me rest against her." That's the only sacrifice you make when you help someone. However that doesn't mean you don't do what's right. You should always do what's right even if it's painful at first. Do what your heart thinks is the right thing to do..." She said." Ok dear?" She asked. I nuzzled into her, hugging her." Ok mom...."

"I promise I will."

Flashback

'Ah....that's right...thanks mom...' I thought. I know what to do now....
"Scatter-"
"Sting all enemies to death-"

"(Y/n)!" I heard Ichgio yell. I look over confused. Ichigo to my right had Moeru in his hand." Catch!" He said as he threw it towards me.' CATCH?!' I thought.' The hell does he-?!' I thought before reaching up, catching the hilt before behind sent flying. I was sent towards some trees, landing a good distance away from Byakuya and those other soul reapers. I landed on the ground and panted." Good one Ichi...." I muttered before getting up." Hey Moeru...been a while." I said as I continued to run." It is good to see you again Mast-" Moeru spoke before someone appeared in front of me. It's the old man! I couldn't even sense him! I raised my hands up before he quickly moved and kicked Moeru out my hands.' Crap! Moeru-!' I thought amazed by his speed before the old man swept my feet from under me and slammed on my stomach, making me cough violently. My whole body aches....did he kick a cater in the ground...? I hissed as I tried to move my wrist. He pointed his Zanpakuto at me." You've lost." He spoke. I coughed, panting and gasping for air. Soon after, every soul reaper and captain was around me, watching us from a distance." Now then, I'm getting a bit bored of this game. Either you join us or you die." He said. I could tell he was serious. I took a deep breath before I moved quick and punched him in the face. He didn't even move." Fine fine....you win. Just get the hell out my face old man...." I muttered as I pulled my hand back. The old man chuckled before he laughed, stepping back." A game of tag, all this stubbornness, and now you lose because you don't get your way? You truly are his daughter!" He laughed. He then put his Zanpakuto away and held his hand out. I took it and he pulled me up, wincing at the pain." Now then, let's get you treated." He said. I sighed." Thanks.....now then...I guess my only concern is....who's going to be watching over me? Assuming you don't trust me yet to be on my own." I said." Don't worry about that my dear. Just focus on getting rest."

"For tomorrow, you train."
