"...How on Earth am I gonna do this? I mean, seriously, how can I teach Cree how to use her zampakutou? It's not like some manual I can use to help her. If there was, I would of used it to help me with Mamori when I learned her name. But oh well, it looks like I'll have to deal with it considering our strange circumstances. Though, as we work on as usual, Cree keeps on asking more and more about what exactly my big secret is. And, whenever I say to her that 'she' isn't an issue anymore, she just wants to know more and more! What can I do?! It's not like I'm gonna show her my secret, even if I knew how, so it doesn't matter anyway. Still, can I keep Devena away from her forever, or will Cree have to find out the hard way?..."

SOUL SOCIETY
Madison's Perspective
Madison yawns as she walks down the steps of her house, Cree following close behind. Seeing as how Cree isn't exactly a Soul Reaper and has no quartersto even go to, she decided that it would be best if she stayed with Madison, which she agreed with.
"Cree, did you sleep well?" Madison asks as they turn down into the hall leading to the kichen.
Cree nods.
"Yeah, you have such big guest rooms, it's almost ridiculous." Cree comments.
Madison chuckles.
"Don't blame me, blame the architects, they did all the planning." Madison says, "All I told them was that I wanted something roomy and high-end."
"Well, they certainly took that to the extreme."
"You've got that right."
After a few minutes, the two find themselves laughing over cereal and hot chocolate, going over what they think Virginia would do if she out about this place.
"Hey, anyone home?" Toshiro's voice calls from down the hall.
"We're in the kichen, Toshiro." Madison calls back.
"How the heck did he get in?" Cree asks.
"He has a spare key in case of emergencies." she answers.
"How is breakfast an emergency?" Cree asks.
"I don't know."
Within moments, Madison sees Toshiro in the doorway, wearing his usual Soul Reaper uniform and white captain's haori.
"So, what's the plan for today?" he asks.
"Well, I talked to the Grandpa Yama yesterday, and he said that we need to start Cree's training right away, so that's the plan." Madison answers.
"Wait, so I don't even get a day off, or anything?" Cree asks.
"Nope." Madison answers.
"Well, that seems a little unfair." Cree comments.
"I know how you feel, I had to do the same thing." Madison says, "But don't worry, once you've learned to control Hebi Denkou, you'll probably be put under either Toshiro or I, so don't worry about it."
Cree sighs, and returns to her cereal, now a little down.
"So, anything else going on?" Toshiro asks.
"Nope, that's pretty much it." Madison answers.
"Alright, well, I'm going back to my barricks to get some paperwork done, then I'll meet you two at my training grounds. Sound good?" he asks.
Madison nods, as well as Cree.
"Awesome." Madison answers, "See ya then."
"Bye." Toshiro says, before leaving, the door soon shutting in the distance.
After a moment of quiet, Madison looks up to see Cree smiling strangly.
"Is something up?" Madison asks, before taking a sip of her Hot Chocolate.
"Do you like him?" Cree asks.
The surprise of the question causes Madison to do a full spit take, luckily facing away from Cree at the time, though it still causes Cree to almost jump out of her chair.
"Wh-What?!" Madison yells, blushing.
"Do you like Toshiro?" Cree asks again.
"What on Earth would make you think that?!"
"The fact that you two have been gawking at each other everytime I see you two in the same room, the fact that the only person you have brung to our world is Toshiro, and the fact that you're completely red now that I've brought it up."
Madison falls silent, taking in what Cree just said.
...Have I really been gawking at him?....I didn't mean to make him the only person that comes to the other world...And why am I turning red?!...
"You're turning even redder!" Cree says, breaking Madison's consentration.
"I am not!" Madison yells.
"Oh yes you are."
They both fall quiet, before Cree starts again.
"Madison?" she asks.
"What?" Madison answers.
"Who exactly is "her"?"
Madison feels her body go stiff.
"Wh-What?" she asks.
"Yesterday, you said something about a "her", well, who is "her"?" Cree repeats.
"She's...no one." Madison answers, not wanting Cree to know about Devena.
"Madison, tell me-" Cree starts.
"I said no one-" Madison interupts.
"But Madison-"
"I said she's no one!" Madison says as she gets up, "And now you're cleaning the mess!"
Madison leaves Cree stunned and walks to her room, and changes, grumbling to herself the whole time. After an hour or so, Madison finally coaxes herself to go downstairs. She quickly finds Cree in the Media room, watching Ghost Adventures (who knew they had it in this world) on the big screen. As she walks closer, Madison notices that Cree has changed as well, wearing the kimono that Madison remembers her wearing back in their other world. Finally, she finds her voice.
"Come on Cree, if we don't leave now, we'll be late to meet Toshiro and Aneko." Madison says, walking into the room.
Cree glances over at her, before sighing, turning off the TV.
"Fine." Cree says as she gets up, walking past Madison.
Madison groans.
...Great, she's mad at me...
"Oh, c'mon Cree, it was partly your fault-" Madison starts.
"-And it was partly yours!" Cree snaps, taking Madison by surprise, "Infact, scratch that, it was all your fault."
"Alright, alright, calm down." Madison says,"Jeez, it was just hot chocolate."
"It's not that that I'm talking about!" Cree yells.
Madison stops talking.
Cree doesn't speak either for the rest of the trip over to the training grounds, and when they walk up to Toshiro, he seems to catch some of the tension in the air.
"Is something wrong?" he asks, surprising Madison and Cree that he picked it up so quickly.
"It's nothing, just a little disagreement." Madison reassures him.
"More like a full blown quarrel." Cree mutters under her breath.
"Cree." Madison snaps, hushing Cree.
"Alright then, because you two have the better connection, Yattamori will be the one to duel you, Cree." Toshiro says.
"What?!" they both yell.
"It was during a duel between you two that Hebi Denkou first showed himself, maybe if you two continue fighting, you'll learn how to pull Hebi Denkou from your subconscious, like Yattamori can with Mamori Koudoutai." Toshiro explains.
Madison and Cree groan.
"Fine." they both answer, before turning to face each other.
Without a second thought, Madison holds her hand out, calling on Mamori. Instantly, thehilt appears in her palm, the tecture nostalgic against her skin. She smiles as she takes tight hold, holding Mamori close in her right hand. She looks up to see Cree staring at her, a little taken back by what she just did.
"How do I do that?" Cree says.
"We'll have to find out." Madison says, before she lunges at Cree, taking her by full surprise.
Cree luckily dodges Madison's attack, and rolls to the ground a few feet to the left of where Mamori had landed.
"Are you crazy?! I haven't called him out yet! You could of killed me, you idiot!" Cree yells.
A spark goes off in Madison's head.
"Will you stop calling me an idiot?!" Madison yells, "This is part of your training, didn't you hear Toshiro?!"
Madison lunges again, to be met by more dirt, Cree now on her right.
"Will you stop running?!" Madison yells as she pounces again, but misses once more, "Stop it Cree. You're getting no where, no and-"
...Allow me to kill you!...
Madison freezes.
"Oh...no..." Madison whispers.
Cree, Toshiro, and Aneko, who just showed up, notice her stop.
"Madison, what's wrong?" Cree asks.
Madison begins to feel her heart beat faster as she looks up, partially terrified. She immediately jolts around to face Toshiro.
"Toshiro! Devena!" she yells.
The world goes black.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cree's Perspective
Her eyes are wide with shock as black light begins to spit from Madison's body, contorting in odd shapes around her until it completely encases her in a shell.
"To-Toshiro! What's going on?!" Cree yells, turning to look at Toshiro.
He's ash white, the light in his eyes gone.
"This is bad, Cree-" Madison's Lieutenant yells, grabing her attention, "Find someplace to hide Captain Hitsugaya!"
Cree becomes confused.
...Why does Toshiro have to be hidden?...
Suddenly, a gush of air rushes past Cree, towards Toshiro. She looks to see white hair, glinting dangerous in the light. And she gasps as she realizes something.
She's Madison.
"DIE TOSHRIO HITSUGAYA!" an unfamiliar high voice screams from Madison's body as she thrusts Mamori Koudoutai down at Toshiro's head.
Without thinking, Cree rushes over and moves in front of Toshiro.
"Strike, HEBI DENKOU!" Cree yells.
...Please work!...
As if to answer her prayers, her sword appears in her right palm, and she grins as she grips it tight, putting her fist up on the side of the blade. She grits her teeth as Mamori Koudoutai hits Hebi Denkou with great force, sending both Toshiro and herself sliding back in the dirt. She pants as she looks up at Madison, and she freezes.
Madison's hair is pure white, her once warm hazel eyes now murderous blood red, the whites of her eyes now jet black. She outfit is exactly the same, though she seems more in a seductive way now.
"Ma-Madison..." Toshiro says, grabbing Cree's attention.
"Toshiro, what's happening?!" Cree says.
Toshiro seems to ignore her as he grits his teeth.
"You devil Devena, how the heck did you find a way to surface?!" Toshiro yells.
Cree's eyes widen.
...Devena?...
Madison, I mean, Devena, smirks, and chuckles.
"It seems that your little girlfriend has been in a bit of a stressing situation lately, as well as being injured." Devena answers.
Toshiro stares her down.
"Get out of her, now!" Cree yells, taking even Devena by surprise.
Soon, Devena smirks again.
"Well, what do we have here? A little girl with a mouth to big for her head." Devena says.
"Shut up, and give Madison her body back, now!" Cree says, holding her sword in front of her, "Or else I'll beat you out of her!"
Toshiro gasps.
"Cree, are you nuts!" Aneko yells.
"Devena is too powerful for you! She can use probably up to 75% of Yattamori's power, on top of her own, she's too much for you!" Toshiro yells.
Cree turns to face him.
"You give up too easily." Cree comments.
Devena begins to laugh histarically.
"What's so funny." Cree asks.
"The fact that you think you'll actually survive this. Might I warn you that if it hadn't been for Yattamori, both Shecker and Toshiro would be dead from the injuries I gave them." Devena laughs, "And, this time, Yattamori won't save you."
Without second thought, Devena flings herself at Cree, meeting Hebi Denkou in a mound of sparks. The impact causes Cree to jolt for a moment, before regaining herself. She glares down Devena as Devena laughs.
"Die, you little rodent!" Devena yells, thrusting her sword every which way.
Suddenly, Cree looses her footing and stumbles, giving Devena an opening. She stares helplessly as Mamori Koudoutai rushes towards her.
But, before it reaches her, Toshiro appears in front of her, stopping Devena's attack. Devena's eyes widen as she watches Toshiro's eyes glow.
"What the-?" Devena starts.
"Madison, I'm sorry." Toshiro starts, "But it's the only way..."
Without warning, Toshiro thrusts his sword around Mamori Koudoutai and forces it from Devena's hand, before pressing his hand on her forehead.
"Bakudo 20, Sakasa Kon (Soul Reverse)!" he yells, immediately followed by the black energy reappearing.
"W-Why, YOU!" Devena screams, "I'm gonna KILL YOU, YOU DAMN BRAT!"
Suddenly, the light reencases Devena, followed by a few high pitched screams. Soon, the light purifies to a bright lime green, causing Cree to sheild her eyes. When the light finally fades, Cree gasps to see Madison back to normal, her white locks once again chestnut. Her legs give in and Madison falls into Toshiro, apparently unconscious. Cree immediately runs over to Toshiro's side, to see Madison unharmed, but breathing hard.
"I hate that Devena..." Toshiro comments.
"Toshiro." Cree says.
"Yes?" Toshiro answers.
"That's the "her" you've been talking about, isn't it?"
He doesn't answer for a moment.
"Yes." he answers.
Shivers go down her spine.
Great, just great. Her best friend has a demon inside her.
What else?
