Ayame woke up. Whole her body hurt. She started screaming and crying. Her eyes were black and yellow like those of a Hollow. But no mask. While she was screaming she looked around her. She was in the Dojo. 4 people around her. Then she saw Jin lying there. Her hand went to his direction. She stopped screaming. Ayame wanted to take his hand but it was too far away. Her Hollow eyes disappeared. But the tears were still rolling out of her eyes. Her heart was broken. The only thing she wanted now was his hand.

"It's not your fault okay. You couldn't know. Don't blame yourself!" Natsume said. "Just rest. If Ayataki wakes up, she wants you to be okay and not like this". Natsume smiled. ≈≈ Ayame was fighting her Hollow. It was difficult because the Hollow had the same fighting style as her. But it was stronger and faster. "Come on Ayame" Zetsumei said. "I thought you were stronger than that!" Ayame attacked with a combo. But the Hollow dodged every attack. This fight will take long. ≈≈

"Stay still, idiot!" Shika started healing again. "She is fighting her inner-Hollow". Shika said. She stood up and went to the other medics to help them. "Natsume, can you do something for me?" Shika asked. Natsume nodded. "Can you make sure Jin doesn't move?" Natsume nodded again and went to Jin. She sat next to him and lays her hand on his shoulder. "don't worry about her, okay? Ayataki is really strong".

≈≈≈ Ayame woke up on a beach. The sand was white and the water was light blue. She looked around her and saw Zetsumei standing in the sand. She had the form of a girl with a black dress. Her was long and light blue and in two ponytails. Ayame never saw the eyes of the spirit. They were always closed. "What am I doing here?" Ayame asked. Zetsumei pointed to the water. Ayame looked at the direction she was pointing. It was Ayame herself who was standing in the water. But her hair and skin were snow-white. Her eyes were black and the irises were yellow. Her Hollow. The Hollow smiled at her. Ayame knew what would come now. She had to fight her Hollow.. ≈≈≈ Meanwhile, in the Dojo was Shika finished healing Jin. "You still have to rest a lot. Or your bones will break again". She said. The old lady looked at the direction of Ayame. The girl was breathing fast. "Is she alright there?" Shika asked. "She is fighting". One of the medics replied

Mizuki took Kei and walked after Jacob to Icy. "She fell asleep again?" Mizuki asked. "Maybe she was just tired.." She didnt really know the answer. This was the first time she met a Soul-Shifter and she didn't really read much about them. Mizuki lays Kei next to Icy. "Well that's cute". She said and went to sit next to her brother.

Shika looked at him "What happened there?" Meanwhile, Natsume was back with 3 other medics who started healing Ayame as soon as possible. Shika looked to Jin again. " You have some broken bones. So lie down and let me help you". Shika said and started healing Jin. "Don't worry about Ayame. She is in good hands".

"Leave him alone!" Natsume yelled and attacked bone arm!. She knew she couldn't do much and ahe was scared too.But then she heard someone after her. He looked and it was someone she knew. Captain Kenta! "Take him away, Natsume. I'll handle this". Natsume helped Jin on his feet and leaded him to the portal. When then went through it. It disappeared. She lays Jin down and went to Shika. "How is she?" Natsume asked. "She is not going to die". Shika replied. "Her wounds are too big for me to heal". The old lady looked at Natsume. "Can you find more people gorm squad 4 for me?" Natsume ran away to find them. Shika stood up and walked to Jin to check if he was alright. "She has lost a lot of blood. But she will be alright". Shika said to him. "How are you?"

Natsume quicktraveled through the desert. Then she heard the scream. She went to the direction of the scream. Natsume saw Jin fighting. He went to him and helped him. "Hi!" She said.

"Can you open a portal for me?" Natsume asked. Shika nodded and opened one. Natsume walked through it and landed in the desert. "Jin! Where are you?" She started yelling. She looked around and started searching for him.

Natsume saw the body of Ayame rolling out of the portal "Ayataki!" She yelled when she saw the blood. She quickly went to Shika to ask for help. When they were back in the Dojo Shika started to heal Ayame. "She's fighting". "With what?" Natsume asked. "With her inner self". Shika said.

"You know". Hiro said while he dodged the attacks. "She will die if you don't bring her back". He disappeared and reappeared next to Ayame. He kicked her. "Hmmm, what a shame. She was such a good girl". Hiro said and started laughing. "The portal is still there. Go before it closes itself. And let this be a message. Don't ever come here again". He said and jumped away.

"Let's finnish this" Ayame said. "Zetsumei!" She yelled. Her Katana changed in a spear. she slashed al the Hollows in high speed. Hiro started to break the masks with his hands. It was weird. He had a mask as well and he had a hole in his chest. But he was still Ayame's brother. He was killing his own kind for her. "I think we're finished". Ayame said after defeating the Hollows. Her Zanpaktou changed back in it's normal form. She walked to her brother and hugged him. "You can't believe how happy I am to see you!" She said. "Stay with me" He said. His hand changed in a blade and stabbed Ayame two times in her stomach. "W-Why?" Ayame asked him. "I'm a hollow now". He said. Ayame started to feel sick. She tried to stop the bleeding. "Join me, sister". Hiro said and disappeared after that. Ayame fell down on her knees. The wound was bleeding so hard. "I-I can't stop it!" She yelled. She looked at Jin. Her eyes became empty. She lost her feeling of time and space. Ayame fell down and closed her eyes. Why did this happen?

"Just kill as many as possible". She said and started their mission. Ayame ran to one of the big ones and cut his mask off. And the next one, and the next one. She didn't stop. She was fighting with pure frustration. Then one of the smaller Hollows ran to her. But it didn't attack. It put his arms around her. "Aya..." It said. Ayame's eyes became bigger. Tears started to roll down, but she didn't care. "Hiro.. Is that you?" Ayame started to hug the Hollow. "It is you! I've missed you so much!" "I've missed you too!" Hiro said. "Let me look at you". He released Ayame and stared at her. "You're beautiful. Like always". He said. But then one of the other Hollows wanted to attack her. Hiro protected Ayame by blocking the hit. He jumped on the bigger Hollow and broke it's mask. Hiro jumped back to Ayame. "And is that your partner?" He asked while pointing to Jin.

"I've heard a lot about the human world from the other Shinigami". Natsume said when she slashed one of the dummies in half. "They all loved it!" Ayame went back to the Dojo. She had a mission. "Jin, we have a mission". She said. Her eyes were red because she cried. She opened a portal in the Dojo. "Later" Ayame said to Natsume. The little girl waved at her. Ayame walked through the portal. On the other side there was a desert. There were a lot of Hollow. "Mission today. Kill the Hollows" She said to Jin.

"Because I'm still too young. And because I have to take care of the Dojo now." She said and smiled. "I will go to the human world someday. But not now" Natsume started training again.

Ayame stared at him She tried so hard to hold back her tears. But it didn't work. "I'm..going to check if there is a mission". She said while she left the Dojo. Natsume looked at Jin. "This is the first time I say her cry" Natsume said. "Poor girl".

"Some souls come here as a Hollow. That's their second life. Others, normal souls and Shinigami, have a inner Hollow." She put her hand on her chest. "All in here". Natsume walked to them and started to listen as well. She didn't know this part. "If you give yourself to the inner Hollow, you will become one. If you can fight and defeat him. You will get its power when you put on the mask".

"Hmm, what's wrong?" She asked Jacob. Then she looked at her brother whk was still asleep. But this time without any pain. "Are classes over?" She asked and jumped on her feet. While rubbing over her uniform to get the dirt away she looked at the two.

"Impossible". She said. "He went insane not long ago and has given himself to his inner Hollow". She stared at her feet. "He is wandering in this world, but doesn't remember being a Soul Reaper. But I guess I'm happy he's still alive".

"I've been so many times in the human world and you were the first one who saw me. And you remind me of my brother". She said while she was staring to one of the dummies. She didn't want to see his face on this moment. "I've liked you from when you tried to steal my Zanpaktou" She said.

"Stop staring like that". Ayame said. Natsume was staring them and laughed. Ayame felt uneasy now but she tried to ignore it.

"Okay..I you really wanted to know". Ayame walked to him. She put her arms around his neckand pulled him closer to her. Then she kissed him. Ayame released him again and took on of his snacks. She sat down again and enjoyed her snack.

"Nothing" Natsume asked and smiled to him. She winked to Ayame and then she tok her Zanpaktou and started to train against the dummies. Ayame only smiled at him."Say, did you really believe what I said back there about your parents?" Ayame asked him.

Natsume waited until Jin was gone. "What are you going to do about it?" She asked Ayame. "Just do like I'm not". Ayame said. Natsume was just a child but she saw that Ayame really liked Jin. "Does he know?" Natsume asked. "I have no idea".

Natsume opened the door "Welco-... Oh yeay Jin, Ayataki!" She said with a smile. She hugged them both. "And how was it?" She asked. "Horrible". Ayame said and started to tell her what happened. "You guys don't have a lot of luck heh?" Natsume said while she shook her head. She walked to Ayame and whispered in her ear. "And what about you and Jin?" Ayame's face turned red and she whispered Nothing back to her
