"...Well, now what are we supposed to do? With Cree now having a zampakutou, not to mention she's wearing a Squad T.P. uniform whenever she changes, Toshiro and I don't know what to do with her. Should we take her to the Soul Society? Or, should we keep her here, maybe train her on the weekends? God, I have no idea what to do, considering this has probably never happened before. Oh well, I guess I have no choice but to somehow talked Toshiro into letting her join us when we leave to go to the Soul Society. Well, that will be interesting, but there's still one thing that bothers me. If that Hollow really did follow Toshiro and I into this world from the Soul Society, who gave them the knowledge of how to open their own senkaimon?..."

OUR WORLD
4:45 p.m.
Madison's Perspective
Toshiro and Madison stare at Cree as she falls to the ground, stunned by what just happened.
"C-CREE!" Madison yells, trying to get up, but cringing in the end.
Toshiro immediately appears by her side, catching her as she falls back to the dirt.
"Yattamori, be careful, you're still not completely healed!" Toshiro warns, holding her arm.
"Cree, she's out cold!" Madison snaps, trying to stand again, making better this time.
"Yattamori please-" Toshiro starts.
Suddenly, Madison flashsteps from Toshiro's grasp, taking him by surprise. She reappears by Cree's side, trying to turn her over without yelling in pain. As she finally gets Cree onto her knee, she smiles as she sees that Cree's just sleeping, perfectly fine.
Though, she's a far other story. Her rip is still cracked on the left side, two on the right, and she has a good idea that she probably has broken at least one of her major bones in her right leg.
Then, a soft yellow glow distracts her from the pain, causing her to look back down at Cree. Her eyes widen as she watches Cree's kimono beginning to fade from sight, returning to her original outfit. As it happens, the light seems to gain a life of it's own, surrounding her with a nostalgic yellow light.
"What the..." she starts, watching the light grow, then shrink.
Without reason, the light splits into different orbs and float for a second, before floating down to touch different areas of her body, then expanding over. Madison gasps as she finally realizes what they are.
"She can heal...?"
Within seconds, the pain in her chest begins to subside, the cracks in her ribs beginning to mend, along with the completely broken. Soon, after, her leg is back to normal, and even the scratches on her face have disappeared, the only thing left being the little gash on her fore arm, which is being attended to with great stediness.
After only what seems like seconds, Madison is fully healed, even her mild headache which she had tried to ignore. All of her stamina is back, and she quickly stands, holding Cree up by her arm.
"Yattamori!" Toshiro yells as he runs over to her side, surprised by the fact that she's able to even lift Cree a foot off the ground.
When she turns back towards him, his eyes widen in surprise, not expecting to see her in this great of shape.
"H-How did you heal so quickly?" Toshiro asks.
"I wasn't the one that healed myself." Madison answers, "She was the one."
His eyes widen even more.
"Cree healed you?!"
"Well, I think."
"What do you mean "you think"?"
"Well, I do believe she has the ability to heal, but I think that because I also have that ability, it was amplifed, making it stronger and quicker." she explains.
Toshiro thinks it over for a moment, before nodding.
"I guess that makes sense." Toshiro finally says.
Madison sighs and turns back towards the road.
"So what are we gonna do?" Madison asks.
"About getting home, or about her Soul Reaper abilities?" Toshiro asks.
"Both!" Madison snaps, "Toshiro, Cree has abilities like us, and she even has Time Psyhic abilities to top it off!"
"Well, it's not like we can take her to the Soul Society!"
Madison becomes quiet, worrying Toshiro.
"Yattamori, no, we can't-" Toshiro starts.
"Well why not! If she does have a zampakutou, then she must be able to travel back and fourth. Heck, I still don't know why you can besides that." Madison counters.
Toshiro sighs.
"Well, even if she could, how on Earth would we explain her to the Head Captain, no, the Soul Society itself?!" Toshiro asks.
Without warning, Madison begins laughing uncontrolably, confusing Toshiro completely.
"Why on Earth are you laughing?!" Toshiro asks, irritated.
Madison wipes her eyes with her free hand, finally able to breath slightly.
"Toshiro...are you serious?" Madison asks.
Toshiro raises an eyebrow.
"Huh? Yes, why?" he answers.
"W-Wow, you're an idiot." Madison says, still giggling.
"What?!"
"Toshiro, if they were able to accept me, a girl who had been pretty much dead for 14 years, into their Society, don't you think they would accept her?" Madison asks, silencing Toshiro.
He scratches his head, think over what Madison had just suggested, and it hits him.
She right, they had accepted her easily, so it wasn't an issue.
"Well?" Madison asks, grabbing Toshiro's attention.
He stares at her for a moment, then sighs.
"Fine."
Madison grins.
"Alright, now we only have one problem." Madison says.
Toshiro blinks in surprise.
"What?" he asks.
"What are we supposed to do with Cree until she wakes up?" she asks, pulling Cree closer by the arm.
He doesn't answer as his eyes widen, more confused then he was last time.
"Uh, I've got nothing." Toshiro answers.
Madison sighs.
"Great."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cree's Perspective
She blinks as light begins to enter eyes, brighter then usual. She scratches her head, not knowing what exactly has happened. Cree looks around as her eyes finally clear, noticing that the room around her is strange to her to say the least.
"Where the heck am I?" she asks herself.
The room looks like something out of a Asian movie, a crane picture in the corner of the room, and what she once thought to be a bed turns out just to be a mat on the floor. But, as she looks around, she finds that for some reason, the room seems off, more cartoon then anything. It's now that she looks down at herself.
For some reason, her hair is longer by a few inches, and she nows wears a white kimono looking outfit. And, around her neck, is a topaz gem in the shape of a triangle, hanging from what looks like a black hide chain. Slowly, she stands walking over to the door.
Suddenly, the door opens, causing her to gasp in surprise.
"Wow, wow, Cree, settle down!" Madison's familiar voice says as Cree falls to the ground.
Cree looks up to see Madison, but not Madison Madison, Yattamori Madison, staring down at her, Toshiro close behind her with a few people she's never seen before.
"Are you alright Cree?" Madison asks as she kneels beside her.
"W-Where am I? Why do you still look like that? When did you-?" Cree goes on.
"Wow, wow, Cree." Madison shushes her.
"Yattamori, is this the girl you told us about?" A girl, maybe a year older then them asks Madison, calling her by her other name.
"Yes. Momo, this is Cree. Cree, this is Momo, one of Toshiro's and mine childhood friends." Madison says as introduces the girl to her.
The girl smiles.
"Nice to meet you." Momo says.
"Captain, how are you going to explain her to the Head Captain?" another women asks, though probably more in her 20s.
"I'm just gonna tell it to him straight." Madison answers.
"So you're gonna tell him "Oh, I just happened to run into a Hollow in your world, and that my friend here somehow miraculously gained a zampakutou just in time to save the day, before falling to the ground unconscious. Oh, and to top it off, while she was unconscious, she healed me, meaning she also has time psychic abilities." the women says.
Madison doesn't answer for a moment.
"That is what you were going to tell him, isn't it?" the women asks.
"Maybe." Madison answers.
"-Yattamori!" Toshiro starts.
"-Well, what else am I supposed to tell him?!" Madison interupts.
"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!" Cree yells, grabbing everyones attention.
Madison sighs.
"Cree, do you remember what happened to you?" she asks.
Cree blinks as she scratches her head.
"Does the name Hebi Denkou sound familiar?" Madison asks.
Cree's eyes widen as everything that happened to her comes rushing back in one moment. From seeing Madison get slammed from behind, to when she was trying to run over to her, before falling to ground. Finally as the memories fade, she grabs Madison by the shoulder, who's still sitting beside her.
"You mean that really happened?!" Cree yells.
Madison looks surprised for a moment, before sighing.
"Yes Cree." she finally answers.
Cree lets go and looks down at the ground, trying to make sense of everything.
"Cree." Madison says, distracting Cree.
"What?" she asks.
"Cree...we brought you to the Soul Society." Madison admits.
Cree's eyes widen, stunned by what she was just told.
"What...?" she mumbles.
"After you fell unconscious, Yattamori and I decided that the best thing for you, considering your unknown powers, would be to bring you here to discover more information about your zampakutou, which we've guessed is called Hebi Denkou." Toshiro explains.
"B-But, what about my family?" Cree asks.
"Don't worry, in the other world, it's night, and our bodies are just sleeping." Madison reassures her, freaking her out even more.
"What's that supposed to mean?!"
Madison sighs.
"When we come to this world, only our spirits travel here. Our spirits leave our bodies, leaving them in an unconscious, sleep-type state." Madison explains.
"S-So, that time when you past out during your party, you..." Cree starts, before trailing off.
"Came here, along with all the other times." Madison finishes.
"That's unbelievable..." Cree whispers.
Madison chuckles.
"To most, yes, but to us, it's just a part of everyday life." Madison says.
"But still, some of the things that have been happening lately have been strange." Another women says, stepping up from behind the others, "Especially the Yattamori, Shecker split a few weeks ago."
"Yattamori, Shecker split? What's that?" Cree asks.
Madison gulps a little, before beginning to hold herself.
"Madison?" Cree asks.
"A few weeks ago, Yattamori and I were scouting an area in a place called the World of the Living, when our new enemy, called the Bijuu, attacked us." Toshiro starts.
"Bijuu? Like Naruto Bijuu?" Cree asks.
Everyone accept Madison become confused.
"Naruto? What's Naruto?" Momo asks.
"Nothing, continue Toshiro." Madison says.
"Anyway, Yattamori and I tried our best, but when Yattamori was injured, we had little chance to win. Luckily, backup came, but then the leader of the group attacking us showed up. He sent me flying into a nearby river, then centered in on Yattamori. After pinning her to a nearby tree, he used some power to spilt Yattamori into two people." Toshiro continues.
Cree's eyes widen.
"Two people...?" Cree says.
"Yes, the Madison you know, Madison Shecker, and Yattamori, Madison Yattamori. Then, four days later, the two had to duel to the death."
Cree gasps.
"What?! Who won?!" Cree yells.
"Shecker." Madison says, taking Cree by surprise.
"What?..." Cree asks.
"Shecker, Madison Shecker was the one who won." Madison says, "Or, I won the duel, I guess I should say."
"So then, what happened to Yattamori?" Cree asks.
The room falls silent for a few moments, before Madison sighs.
"She returned to just being my memories of my last life." Madison answers.
"...Last...life..."
Cree gulps.
"Madison..." Cree starts.
Madison blinks.
"Yeah?" she answers.
"Why...why were you stabbed in the heart?" Cree asks.
Madison eyes widen as the other gasp, including Toshiro.
"How...did you find out about that?" Madison asks.
Cree stalls for a moment.
"I told her." Toshiro confesses, surprising everyone.
"Captain, you told?!" the light haired women asks, surprised by the thought of his actions.
"Yes, she wanted to know why Yattamori didn't stay in the Soul Society." Toshiro explains.
"Madison." Cree says, regrasping Madison's attention, "Please, why were you stabbed?"
Madison looks at her for a few moments with concern in her hazel eyes, before gulping. She looks up at Toshiro.
"Do you not want me to tell her?" Madison asks him, causing Cree's hair to stand more on end.
Toshiro looks away for a moment, thinking the question over. Finally he sighs, and turns back.
"It's alright." Toshiro answers.
"Will you be alright?" she asks.
He nods.
Madison sighs, then looks back at Cree.
"14 years ago, Toshiro and I had been scouting in the Soul Society, same thing as when our Yattamori-Shecker situation happened while in the World of the Living. While we were going through a forest outside one of the Rukon Districts, we were attacked by powerful Hollows. While standing back to back after going against them once or twice, I had a vision." Madison starts.
"What did you see?" Cree asks.
Madison looks back up at her.
"I saw Toshiro get stabbed through the back with an arrow-shot sword." Madison admits, a few tears beginning to grow in her eyes.
Cree's eyes widen in alarm, before looking over to Toshiro, who's gritting his teeth and clenching his fists.
"After, Toshiro began to walk from me, and I knew that he was uh...you know." Madison continues, "So, I got rid of Mamori, and pushed him out of the way. That's when it happened."
Cree gasps.
...She died...protecting Toshiro...
Toshiro walks out of the room, and slams the door, catching everyones attention.
"Toshiro..." Madison trails, "He still blames himself."
Cree turns back towards her, seeing that she not only looks concerned, and a little saddened, but maybe even a little irritating. Moments later, she clenches her own, taking everyone still in the room by surprise.
"Damn, when will he ever realize it's not his fault?!" Madison says, stunning Cree and the others, "And why does it still matter?! I'm here now, so it doesn't even count even more!"
Cree chuckles, taking Madison by surprise.
"What's so funny?" Madison asks.
Cree looks over at her.
"It doesn't matter if happened 14 years ago, but you're here now. The main fact is that something that he did, did lead you to sacrifice yourself for him. I mean, hasn't he ever done the same for you, just not to that much extent?" Cree asks.
Madison turns away, before her eyes widen, and she nods.
"He's done it twice before. Once when I first came back, and another when...he fought her." Madison admits.
Confusion crosses Cree's face.
...Her?...
Suddenly, Madison gets up.
"I'm sorry, I-I just..." Madison stutters, before she finally walks out, not able to take it any longer.
Cree reaches to her as she shuts the door.
"Madison, stop-" Cree starts.
"No, Cree." the light haired women snaps, taking Cree by surprised.
Cree looks up at her, to see a concerned look as her expression.
"Rangiku, what's wrong?" Momo asks, revealing the women's name.
"Yattamori doesn't walk out on conversations. You know that. She must of been seriously uncomfortable or on the verge of tears to have to leave. The only one I can even think of talking to her and making it through to her in this type of situation is my Captain, and he already left. So, to me, I think that it's best that we leave her alone for a little while to allow her to calm down." Rangiku explains.
Cree sighs, then looks back at the door where Madison had just fled. As she watches, many questions pop into her mind. But, one out of all of them repeats itself in her mind.
...Just who...is "her"..?...
