"...Ok, who would of guessed that of all people, I would be the one training people older than me to become invisible and create barriers out of thin air? Well, that can be answered easily with, well, no one. But that won't stop me. I'll try my hardest to explain it to my squad. There's three problems though. For one, I'm pretty bad at explaining things. But who knows, maybe my smart tounge will return like it did during my return speech. Though, there's the other thing bothering me. Since Toshiro told me that Kuchiki was right about what happened at our duel, I've felt off. Like something is keeping me from thinking clearly. And last, it's Kenta. I just have a feeling that something bad will happen, and it'll probably involve him and his idiodic plan..."

SOUL SOCIETY
Madison's Perspective
Madison opens her eyes suddenly to pale light coming through the white shades in front of her ceiling to floor wall of windows. She blinks as few times before she realizes where she is and her breathing begins to slow. She's laying in her oversized queen-sized bed, which looks like something from out of a Faerie book, like the rest of her bed chamber. Unlike the rest of her home, which had been tricked out to look completely modern, her bedroom is what she imagines a princess would live in. Dusty pink walls, lavish furniture, a large crystal chandelier matched with two wooden fans which hang lower from the ceiling, not to damage the beautiful light fixture, an extravagant and extra comphy bed that was sprinkled with at least 10 normal sized pillows and intricately designed green, pink, and brown shaded bedding that must of come from somewhere in Europe, and a master bathroom which is at least 25 feet by 15 feet in size, marking it as being absolutly huge. Madison looks passed her toes through the sheer pink fabric that lined the upper part of her bed, starting from the beautifully decorated top that clinged to the wall above her, then transcaded down the sides of her bed then cut off gracefully only about six inches from the floor, making the bed look even more old-fashioned, to see more modern stuff.
Directly across from her was a great flat-screen TV and media center, which seems to hold only Madison's favorite movies and games, including all the latest Twilight movies and Michael Jackson Wii game, which she wanted for Christmas in the other world. And, all seasons of her favorite show, Ghost Adventures, is there, inwhich Zac, Nick, and Aaron look exactly the same, causing her to become a little creeped.
Suddenly, Madison's thoughts swich from realty TV to her situation at the party the night before. After learning what she had done to Kuchiki, Madison didn't enjoy herself. Even Ukitake and Kuroaku noticed. In fact, it was there idea that Madison should become invisible and flee the party that helped her get out of there without having a grueling conversation with Toshiro.
She still couldn't believe she had done all that without knowing. And the image of herself that was plastered in Toshiro's mind was something that she was starting to wish she hadn't peeped at. She almost didn't reconize herself. She was something she hated, she was the person that hollow had been.
Her thoughts then turn to the nightmare which had woken her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She had been walking a road with Toshiro, talking about what to get to eat at the next tea hut.
"Hey, are you gonna eat your tea cake?" she asked.
"I won't buy it if I won't eat it." Toshiro answered.
"Then will you buy me one?"
"Buy one with your own money, don't mouch off me."
"Aw, c'mon, I forgot to bring enough, and I'm starving."
Then, suddenly, the world had become dark and the sun itself hid behind the dark light of a solar eclipsed moon. Toshiro and Madison stepped closer together, then Toshiro put one arm in front of her, trying to protect her by keeping her a little behind him, making her a little annoyed, but glad. Suddenly, high pitched laughter pierced the silent air and a purplish black lightning bolt seemed to scar the sky, causing Toshiro to immediatly react and pull them into the safety of the trees' shadows.
"What the heck's going on?" Toshiro said.
Then, something sharp and swift slashed at Madison's back, causing her to fall into Toshiro in pain.
"Yattamori!" Toshiro yelled as he knelt to his knees, Madison reacting with a shout or two of anguish.
Immediatly, Toshiro began to inspect the wound, cradled her in his arms, then, flashstepped to a safer area of undergrowth. He sat her down to lean against a sturdy bush as he tried to inspect her wound more. As he goes to touch it, a energy began to seep from the gash. Toshiro gasps as Madison leans over in pain.
"Madison!" Toshiro said as he turned her to face him.
Madison looked up to see Toshiro staring at her in worry. She began to say something when suddenly the darkness engolfed her completely, and all control over her body vanished. Madison watches sub-consciously in horror as her body begins to move on it's own and she stands, Toshiro helping her. Madison tries to cry out to Toshiro to get away, but he doesn't hear her,
Madison then took to seeing herself from outside her own body, and watched as her chestnut brown hair became white like snow and her hazel eyes began to become blood red and the whites of her eyes turned black. Toshiro backed away from her as she began to laugh delivlishly in a tone not even Madison knew to be her own.
"Yattamori..." Toshiro said.
"Hahahahaha. Have fun in Hell." Madison said in a high pitched voice, one that's not her's, as she materialized Mamori Koudoutai over her head, the hilt held strong in both hands.
"NO! STOP!" the detached Madison yells as her body thrusts her sword down at full force and speed.
Toshiro's eyes widened in fear and desperation as he had no time to draw his own sword and Madison's began to slash deep into his skin from his left shoulder down to his lower abdominen.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" detached Madison screamed as Toshiro fell to the Earth, probably dead.
Detached Madison fell to her knees next to Toshiro, anguish taking over as she began to feel tears forming in her eyes. She looked over at Toshiro, as was surprised to see he was still alive, even conscious.
"Toshiro!" Madison yelled as she crawled over to be right next to his head.
Toshiro seemed to hear her and looked her directly in the eyes.
"Madison...why?" he whispered, his voice cracked.
"Toshiro..Toshiro I'm so sorry! Please, forgive me.." Madison said as tears began to pour from her eyes.
Toshiro's eyes widened as her tears somehow didn't pass through his skin. Madison didn't notice, she was so appalled with herself and her large sobs made it so that that she couldn't see.
Suddenly, she hears high-pitched laughing. She turned, her eyes still filling and spilling out tears, and gasped. She herself was the one who was laughing. Her blood red eyes burned with the intent of death. Madison's body stopped then, and turned towards her detached self and looked up.
"You'll be next." herself said as she drew Mamori out once again.
Detached Madison stumbled over her own feet, her eyes wide in horror, as she tripped and looked up at her body, her mind lost to the wind as her instincts told her to run away, but kept her frozen in place. Madison's body laughed as she raised the sword above her head.
"Bye Bye." her unreconizable voice said as she she slashed the sword down.
"AHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed bloody murder.
"Madison, NOOOOO!" Toshiro screamed from a few feet away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then, nothing, or at least she couldn't remember what happened next. That was when she woke up, fright filling everything.
Madison looks over at a clock. 8:14 a.m. She had about 45 minutes to get ready for her training day with some of the members of her squad. She quickly got out of the horror of her bedroom and raced to the gigantic bathroom, and took a shower.
Minutes later, she walks down her grand staircase to go to the kichen. As she nears, she hears talking and some laughter, then an unmistakable voice.
"Will you two shut up! It's not true!" Toshiro yells from around the corner, apparently irritated about something they said about him.
Madison smiles, happy to hear his voice. Her dream still had her kinda shaken, but hearing him talk normally made the pain ease a little. As she walks in, she finds Rangiku and Toshiro in a glare-staring contest at the large long, but thin dark wooded dining table while Aneko seems to be putting cut apples, fresh strawberries, peeled banannas, and freshly squezed orange juice, pulp taken from the looks of it, into a new looking blender. Aneko looks up and smiles.
"Good Morning Captain." Aneko says as she turns back the island in the middle of the gigantic kichen to grab a cup of ice.
Toshiro's trance immediatly cracks and he turns to face her. Madison grins to see Toshiro looking normally.
"Hey Yattamori, how are you holding up?" Toshiro asks.
"Great, still a little confused, but the freaking out part has passed." Madison says as she takes a seat directly across from Toshiro next to Rangiku.
Toshiro grins, seeming to be relieved.
"Good, so are you ready for today?" Toshiro asks.
Madison begins to answer, when she's cut off by the high pitched screech of the blender's probeller blades. She turns to see Aneko chilling behind the blender as it blends all the fruit together into a pink slushly liquid. Within a minute or two, Aneko stops it and begins to pour out the drink into four cups, one for each of them apparently.
"Hey, how did you guys get into my house?" Madison asks.
"Well, we thought that you wouldn't want to wake up to a big empty house, so I used the spare key I had to let us in so that you would wake up to see someone. Happy?" Aneko explains as she sets the drinks down, then sits next to Toshiro across from Rangiku.
Madison smiles.
"Of course I'm happy. I'm the type of person that likes to be surronded by others, so I feel perfectly comfortable."
"Good to hear, now drink up. We have a big day ahead." Toshiro says.
"We?" Madison says.
"Did we forget to tell you? Well, the Head Captain asked if we would help you during your training lessons today. And of course, Captain said yes." Rangiku says as she takes a smoothie from the bunch.
"What about your own squad?" Aneko asks.
"Our squad is doing training with Squad 1 today, so the Head Captain is pretty much baby-sitting." Toshiro says.
"Nice." she comments.
"Now quit with the small talk and drink your smoothies you two." Aneko says as she takes a sip of hers.
They each nod and reach for a cup. By accident, they go for the same one, and their hands touch. They each gasp under their breath as Madison's dream quickly plays back for both of them. She sees Toshiro eyes widen in shock and horror at the scene shown to them. Suddenly, they feel the lietenants, shaking them, pulling them from the the dream world. Madison blinks and finds herself still reaching for the smoothie, as Toshiro was doing the same. Toshiro looks over to her, and Madison immediately takes the other smoothie and begins to sip quietly, so to not look him in the eye.
"Madis-"
"I'm gonna go ahead and head over to the training grounds. I'm sorry Aneko, I'm not hungry right now." Madison says, cutting off Toshiro as she gets up and scampers out of the room.
She runs away, hearing Toshiro call after her. She doesn't listen though, she runs out the front door and flashsteps several times before anyone can catch up.
She was scared, scared that if she got into a conversation like that, she might just loose it and begin bawling her eyes out. Although, it was already too late. Tears begin to fly off the side of her cheeks, and the wind pulls back her bangs from her face, reveiling the eye she hid behind it, to be filled with even more then the other.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toshiro Perspective
Toshiro, Rangiku, and Aneko flashstep to try to catch up with Yattamori. Toshiro is worried. From the looks of that vision Yattamori had accidentally shown him, she was terrified she was goning to lose control of herself again. And the fact that in the vision she had slaughtered him, well, that must of made Yattamori feel uneasy when he saw it. He looks down over the barricks below, seeing other soul reapers starting to converge around them. They all had the curl lined trimming on their kimonos, meaning they were all from Yattamori's squad, probably on their way to training for the day. Suddenly, a hand jerked him from his thoughts and he turned to see Aneko holding his wrist as she flashstepped faster, with them tagging along.
"What the heck are you doing?" Toshiro asks.
"I just spotted Yattamori ahead." Aneko answers.
Toshiro gasps quietly and looks around. Aneko was right, Yattamori's spiritual pressure was getting stronger, and as he looks ahead, he spots Yattamori's pink haori as she flashsteps far ahead.
Without thinking, Toshiro frees himself from Aneko's grip and begins flashstepping quicker then her.
"What the-?" Aneko says, apparently surprised that Toshiro was able to pass her at full speed.
Within seconds, Toshiro is only yards behind Yattamori. Yattamori looks back, and gasps as she sees him gaining on her. She quickly turns back and begins to go faster. But, Toshiro stays on her tail, unbelievably. Finally, Yattamori wips out her fastest speed yet, and flies at least 40 yards ahead, then disappears to the right.
Toshiro's eyes widen in shock, as he tries to key in on her again. When he turns right, he discovers that they were only a half mile away from the training grounds, and that Yattamori was only about 10 yards ahead. Toshiro grins.
"Yattamori!" Toshiro yells.
Yattamori looks back at him and her expression becomes one of shock.
"How the heck are you still behind me?!" she yells back at him.
Suddenly, Toshiro does a quick side flashstep, leaving Yattamori confused. She turns back to see Toshiro right in front of her. She gasps in surprise. Toshiro takes hold of her wrist, and begins flash stepping faster then before. He senses his eyes beginning to glow as he pulls Yattamori to his side. He couldn't believe it. She was trembling.
"Toshiro!" she yells.
He looks down at her, and she immediatly shuts up. Toshiro was now worried. Yattamori's hazel eyes were lifeless, filled with pain and guilt.
"Madison, you've got to get your head back on your shoulders."
"What the heck is that supposed to mean?"
"I know that you're freaked out by that vision you had, but you can't worry about that right now. You have squad members who are counting on you to help them become stronger. How can you do that if you can't even use flashstep to the extent I know you can because of a bad dream?" Toshiro explains.
Yattamori didn't reply. She was speechless. Aparently something he had said had clicked in her mind, becuase she no longer was trembling.
Suddenly Yattamori broke his hold and began flashstepping faster then ever. She then turned back towards him. Her eyes were livelier then ever, flashing happy shades of brown and green.
"Thanks."
Toshiro smiles.
"No problem."
Yattamori laughs, then flashsteps to be at his side. She takes his left hand and suddenly another vision came up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yattamori's body went to slash detached Yattamori, but a force repelled the attack.
Her body staggered back, a twisted and angry snear took shape on her face. Toshiro looked at Yattamori's detached form to see her glowing lime green, which always happened when she released her spiritual pressure. Then, the light consumed detached Yattamori and injured Toshiro, and when she was reveiled, she was in her shikai form, her sword now a bow n' arrow, drawn back, aimed at her own body, and injured Toshiro had vanished.
"What?!" the high-pitched voice in her body screamed.
Yattamori's detached form stood up and opened her eyes, glowing a light blue, light Toshiro's did. This triggered Yattamori's swan-like wings to open and begin to flap. Soon she was above her body, which was snearing at her in alarm and in fury. Yattamori drew the arrow back further, signaling she was about to release.
"You'll pay for that!" she yelled at her own body.
"This can't be, I took complete control." the high voice yelled as her eyes widened in horror.
"10,000 ARROW SLICE!" Yattamori yelled as she released her arrow.
Suddenly, arrows shot from all sides at her own body. Toshiro looked in aw. Yattamori had never mastered that technique before, seeing how it was so hard to control 10,000 arrows at once. But, she had actually done it this time. It was historical.
"NOOOOO!" the high-pitched voice screamed as the arrows pierced her skin.
Then, something weird happened. The arrows went straight threw Yattamori's body, not leaving a scratch. But when they came out on the other side, a being was stabbed all over and forcefully slammed into a tree behind her, pinning her.
Yattamori's body fell to the ground, a spirit no longer inhabiting it. Slowly her hair turned back to being chestnut brown and Toshiro could sense her eyes turn back to normal under the closed lids. Slowly, the detached Yattamori disappeared, her soul returning to her body. Within moments, Yattamori was awake and staring at the soul that had been controling her body. Toshiro looked closely and gasped as he saw that the being looked exactly like Yattamori, except everything was opposite. Her eyes were blood red and the whites of her eyes were black. Her skin was snow white, matching her hair and white kimono. Her haori was dark green, the exact opposite of Yattamori's light pink one. And the copies of her choker, which was dark green and and light red, and the necklaces Toshiro had given her, which was also light red, were exact opposites as well.
Suddenly, the being began to move and looked furiously at Yattamori, who was surprised herself..
"You might of been able to get rid of me this time, but don't think you've won the war yet." she squeaked inbetween gasps for air.
"What do you mean?" Yattamori asked.
"I mean that this is just the begining!" her opposite said in her high voice, beginning to to fade.
As she laughed histaricly, she completely vanished, leaving Yattamori alone in forest.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly Toshiro blinks to find himself flashstepping once again, Yattamori leading them as they were only yards from the training grounds.
"Yattamori-"
"It's ok, I know what happened. But we can talk about that later. Right now, we have Soul Reapers to train." Yattamori says as they land on the hill overlooking the grounds.
Toshiro looks down to see 24 different soul reapers talking down below, streching, and practicing. He looks around to see some that looked familar. But one stood out in the pack. Kenta.
Toshiro remembers how Yattamori acted around him, and it made him a little on edge. He knew something sour was between the two, he just didn't know what.
"This is Aneko's and Rangiku's 1st group. They'll be helping them with barriers. You and I are going to the group on the other side of that hill, where we'll be helping with invisibility." Yattamori explains as she points to a hill directly across from them, breaking Toshiro's train of thought.
"Toshiro, are you alright?" Yattamori asks.
He turns towards her, to see her expression calm, but a little worried. He grins.
"I'm fine. I'm just worried I'll be useless."
Yattamori seems surprised, then laughs as she playfully slaps Toshiro on the arm.
"Don't worry, we'll do something to make you useful. But I can't gurantee it will be pleasant."
Yattamori then turns away and flashsteps around the grounds to the next hill, which was about a half mile away.
Toshiro smiles. Yattamori was back to herself. Her happy-go-lucky, humorous self. But, when her dream enters his mind, he begins to worry about her losing it again.
He shakes his head, thinking it would never happen, then starts to flashstep, when something catches his eye. He looks over to see Kenta, staring at him from below. Toshiro holds his breath. He then remembers the abilities Aneko had told him Kenta had. Invisibility, create barriers, move things with his mind, quickly heal wounds, and...
Toshiro's eyes widen.
Kenta could read thoughts.

Toshiro's eyes widened in fear and desperation as he had no time to draw his own sword and Madison's began to slash deep into his skin from his left shoulder down to his lower abdominen.

Toshiro Perspective
Toshiro, Rangiku, and Aneko flashstep to try to catch up with Yattamori. Toshiro is worried. From the looks of that vision Yattamori had accidentally shown him, she was terrified she was goning to lose control of herself again. And the fact that in the vision she had slaughtered him, well, that must of made Yattamori feel uneasy when he saw it.

Suddenly, a hand jerked him from his thoughts and he turned to see Aneko holding his wrist as she flashstepped faster, with them tagging along.
"What the heck are you doing?" Toshiro asks.
"I just spotted Yattamori ahead." Aneko answers.
Toshiro gasps quietly and looks around. Aneko was right, Yattamori's spiritual pressure was getting stronger, and as he looks ahead, he spots Yattamori's pink haori as she flashsteps far ahead.
Without thinking, Toshiro frees himself from Aneko's grip and begins flashstepping quicker then her.
"What the-?" Aneko says, apparently surprised that Toshiro was able to pass her at full speed.
Within seconds, Toshiro is only yards behind Yattamori. Yattamori looks back, and gasps as she sees him gaining on her. She quickly turns back and begins to go faster. But, Toshiro stays on her tail, unbelievably. Finally, Yattamori wips out her fastest speed yet, and flies at least 40 yards ahead, then disappears to the right.
Toshiro's eyes widen in shock, as he tries to key in on her again. When he turns right, he discovers that they were only a half mile away from the training grounds, and that Yattamori was only about 10 yards ahead. Toshiro grins.
"Yattamori!" Toshiro yells.
Yattamori looks back at him and her expression becomes one of shock.
"How the heck are you still behind me?!" she yells back at him.
Suddenly, Toshiro does a quick side flashstep, leaving Yattamori confused. She turns back to see Toshiro right in front of her. She gasps in surprise. Toshiro takes hold of her wrist, and begins flash stepping faster then before. He senses his eyes beginning to glow as he pulls Yattamori to his side. He couldn't believe it. She was trembling.
"Toshiro!" she yells.
He looks down at her, and she immediatly shuts up. Toshiro was now worried. Yattamori's hazel eyes were lifeless, filled with pain and guilt.
"Madison, you've got to get your head back on your shoulders."
"What the heck is that supposed to mean?"
"I know that you're freaked out by that vision you had, but you can't worry about that right now. You have squad members who are counting on you to help them become stronger. How can you do that if you can't even use flashstep to the extent I know you can because of a bad dream?" Toshiro explains.
Yattamori didn't reply. She was speechless. Aparently something he had said had clicked in her mind, becuase she no longer was trembling.
Suddenly Yattamori broke his hold and began flashstepping faster then ever. She then turned back towards him. Her eyes were livelier then ever, flashing happy shades of brown and green.
"Thanks."
Toshiro smiles.
"No problem."
Yattamori laughs, then flashsteps to be at his side. She takes his left hand and suddenly another vision came up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yattamori's body went to slash detached Yattamori, but a force repelled the attack.
Her body staggered back, a twisted and angry snear took shape on her face. Toshiro looked at Yattamori's detached form to see her glowing lime green, which always happened when she released her spiritual pressure. Then, the light consumed detached Yattamori and injured Toshiro, and when she was reveiled, she was in her shikai form, her sword now a bow n' arrow, drawn back, aimed at her own body, and injured Toshiro had vanished.
"What?!" the high-pitched voice in her body screamed.
Yattamori's detached form stood up and opened her eyes, glowing a light blue, light Toshiro's did. This triggered Yattamori's swan-like wings to open and begin to flap. Soon she was above her body, which was snearing at her in alarm and in fury. Yattamori drew the arrow back further, signaling she was about to release.
"You'll pay for that!" she yelled at her own body.
"This can't be, I took complete control." the high voice yelled as her eyes widened in horror.
"10,000 ARROW SLICE!" Yattamori yelled as she released her arrow.
Suddenly, arrows shot from all sides at her own body. Toshiro looked in aw. Yattamori had never mastered that technique before, seeing how it was so hard to control 10,000 arrows at once. But, she had actually done it this time. It was historical.
"NOOOOO!" the high-pitched voice screamed as the arrows pierced her skin.
Then, something weird happened. The arrows went straight threw Yattamori's body, not leaving a scratch. But when they came out on the other side, a being was stabbed all over and forcefully slammed into a tree behind her, pinning her.
Yattamori's body fell to the ground, a spirit no longer inhabiting it. Slowly her hair turned back to being chestnut brown and Toshiro could sense her eyes turn back to normal under the closed lids. Slowly, the detached Yattamori disappeared, her soul returning to her body. Within moments, Yattamori was awake and staring at the soul that had been controling her body. Toshiro looked closely and gasped as he saw that the being looked exactly like Yattamori, except everything was opposite. Her eyes were blood red and the whites of her eyes were black. Her skin was snow white, matching her hair and white kimono. Her haori was dark green, the exact opposite of Yattamori's light pink one. And the copies of her choker, which was dark green and and light red, and the necklaces Toshiro had given her, which was also light red, were exact opposites as well.
Suddenly, the being began to move and looked furiously at Yattamori, who was surprised herself..
"You might of been able to get rid of me this time, but don't think you've won the war yet." she squeaked inbetween gasps for air.
"What do you mean?" Yattamori asked.
"I mean that this is just the begining!" her opposite said in her high voice, beginning to to fade.
As she laughed histaricly, she completely vanished, leaving Yattamori alone in forest.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly Toshiro blinks to find himself flashstepping once again, Yattamori leading them as they were only yards from the training grounds.
"Yattamori-"
"It's ok, I know what happened. But we can talk about that later. Right now, we have Soul Reapers to train." Yattamori says as they land on the hill overlooking the grounds.
Toshiro looks down to see 24 different soul reapers talking down below, streching, and practicing. He looks around to see some that looked familar. But one stood out in the pack. Kenta.
Toshiro remembers how Yattamori acted around him, and it made him a little on edge. He knew something sour was between the two, he just didn't know what.
"This is Aneko's and Rangiku's 1st group. They'll be helping them with barriers. You and I are going to the group on the other side of that hill, where we'll be helping with invisibility." Yattamori explains as she points to a hill directly across from them, breaking Toshiro's train of thought.
"Toshiro, are you alright?" Yattamori asks.
He turns towards her, to see her expression calm, but a little worried. He grins.
"I'm fine. I'm just worried I'll be useless."
Yattamori seems surprised, then laughs as she playfully slaps Toshiro on the arm.
"Don't worry, we'll do something to make you useful. But I can't gurantee it will be pleasant."
Yattamori then turns away and flashsteps around the grounds to the next hill, which was about a half mile away.
Toshiro smiles. Yattamori was back to herself. Her happy-go-lucky, humorous self. But, when her dream enters his mind, he begins to worry about her losing it again.
He shakes his head, thinking it would never happen, then starts to flashstep, when something catches his eye. He looks over to see Kenta, staring at him from below. Toshiro holds his breath. He then remembers the abilities Aneko had told him Kenta had. Invisibility, create barriers, move things with his mind, quickly heal wounds, and...
Toshiro's eyes widen.
Kenta could read thoughts.
