~Maddie ^o^

"...I thought that Virginia, being as stubborn as she has always been, would definitely take longer to learn the name of her zanpakuto then the rest of us. But damn, it's already been two days, and she hasn't even been able to call a command! It's ridiculous! Seriously, how hard is it to just name a sword, one that not only belongs to you, but is born to you?! Mamori and I clicked only 12 hours after I started to call to her, and this chick is taking four times that long! Ugh, we need a break. No, scratch that, I need a break. One more look at a simulated attack by Cree, Kayla, or Bianca, and I will go insane. Though, I definitely never thought that Rikuto would be here to fill my boredom on my free day. I wonder what he wants...."

SOUL SOCIETY
Squad 14 Training Grounds
"Alright, Bianca, you try this time!" Mariya calls, standing in front of panting Virginia, looking over at Cree, Bianca, and Kayla.
Bianca groans.
"Again? I've done it already seven times!" Bianca replies.
"Virginia needs to unlock her zanpakuto, now c'mon!" Mariya replies, crossing her arms.
Bianca rolls her eyes, but follows Mariya's orders, pulling her zanpakuto, Aratatsuki, from her sheath as she runs at Virginia, jumping to tower over her.
"Ngh!" Virginia breaths.
"Release your sword! Virginia!" Bianca yells, swinging her sword from over her head.
"Ack!"
With a thud, Virginia lands a few feet to the right of where she had been standing seconds prior, having dodging the attack once again, as she had been the whole day.
Mariya groans, rubbing her head.
"Virginia, you can't keep dodging the sword like that!" Mariya yells.
"What do you expect me to do?! Stay still and let the blade cut off my head?!" Virginia yells back, irritated.
"We're doing this to draw out your zanpakuto, not kill you." Cree says, walking over to stand by Mariya.
"It sure seems like you're trying to, considering how close you guys keep coming to my skin." Virginia comments.
"We're only doing that to put you under pressure, which for all of us, worked in revealing our zanpakutos." Kayla replies, walking to stand beside Bianca.
"Well, what if I don't have a zanpakuto? Did you ever think of that?!" Virginia asks.
"If you didn't, you would be able to come here." Mariya replies.
Virginia grunts, crossing her arms now as she pouts.
Mariya sighs, looking over Virginia and the others, noticing that each of them are breathing a bit harder then usual.
...I guess each of them are tired after trying to get Virginia's zanpakuto to reveal itself for about six hours....
She looks over at where the sun is in the sky, a bit before the 3/4 point, meaning it must be around four or five. She then turns back to look at them.
"How about we stop for today." Mariya says.
All of girls give out a happy sigh, seeming relieved that it's time to go in.
"Thank God..." Virginia trails, panting.
Mariya grins.
"How about you guys go to the World of the Living for the rest of the day." she suggests.
Cree blinks.
"The World of the Living? Now?" Cree asks.
"What's the World of the Living?" Virginia asks.
"It's like another world connected to the Soul Society, kinda like our world, but it's a lot closer." Kayla explains.
"Yeah, we've only been there once, but from what we saw, it's kinda the same as our world too, I think we went to someplace in their Japan if I recall correctly." Bianca adds.
"Oh, I see..." Virginia trails.
Mariya nods.
"Yeah, you guys could go catch a movie, grab some dinner, maybe even go to that new outdoor putt-putt place that's only open at night." Mariya replies.
"That does sound nice." Bianca comments.
"Yeah, but what about you Mariya?" Kayla asks.
"I think I'm going to stay here, because of the memory situation a week back, I'm behind on a lot of work, especially the Mahinahime case." Mariya answers.
"So you're skipping out to go do more work." Virginia says, raising an eyebrow.
Mariya chuckles.
"Guess so, but hey, I'm a commanding officer, a Captain, I need to get my work done if I expect my subordinates to do their own work, it's part of the gig." Mariya replies.
Virginia blinks, surprised by the modesty in Mariya's answer.
"Oh...well, I thought you wanted to go to this new putt putt place, you love Mini Golf." Cree says.
"I can always go another time." Mariya answers, looking over at Virginia, "And when I do, I can beat your butt, like I always do."
Virginia smirks.
"Right, sure you can, remember that last time you only beat me by one putt." Virginia replies.
"Yes, but you still lost." Mariya laughs.
"Aw, shut up!" Virginia replies, hitting Mariya playfully.
"Ok, you two, knock it off. There's been enough fighting for one day." Cree says, pulling the two apart.
"She's just mad that I won't be around to beat her." Mariya comments.
"Hell no!" Virginia answers.
"Stop it!" Cree says.
"Fine..." Virginia trails, pouting in a funny manner.
"Well, I better get going." Mariya says with a laugh, beginning to walk away.
"Alright, we'll see you later tonight!" Bianca calls.
"And try not to do all the catching up on your own, ask Toshiro for help!" Kayla yells.
"Got it, bye!" Mariya calls over her shoulder, before disappearing with a quick flashstep towards her home.
Cree grins.
"She's back to normal at last." she comments.
"Yeah, it's nice to see act like her usual peppy self." Bianca comments.
"What are you guys talking about?" Virginia asks.
The three turn towards Virginia.
"Did Mariya not tell you about what happened to her?" Kayla asks.
Virginia shakes her head.
Cree sighs.
"Her memories...of everything, we're erased recently." Cree says.
"What?! But she recognized us-" Virginia starts.
"That's because she was able to gain her memories back by unlocking her mind." Kayla interrupts.
"How'd she do that?" Virginia asks.
"Well, technically, she didn't, Toshiro did." Bianca says.
"How?" Virginia repeats.
"Toshiro spoke the key that held Mariya's memories tight and out of reach from her consciousness." Cree explains, "He was very pissed off by the outcome."
"We all were, who can blame him." Kayla comments.
"What was the key?" Virginia asks.
They fall silent.
"...It was her last name." Cree replies.
"Shecker?"
"No, Yattamori. That's her last name in this world." Bianca corrects.
"Oh yeah...why did that piss him off?"
"Because she calls her that all the time, though he stopped at the time so to not confuse Mariya on what her first name was." Kayla answers.
Virginia's eyes widen.
"It was so obvious..." Virginia trails.
"Hidden in plain sight. Toshiro beat himself over it for about three days straight. He believed it was his fault that she hadn't had her memories returned to her sooner." Cree explains.
"That must feel awful..."
"We all feel awful for not putting two and two together, but we can't change it now. And besides that, Mariya is fine now, so there's nothing to worry about." Kayla says.
Bianca and Cree nod in agreement.
"I see...Is that another reason I haven't seen Toshiro as much?" Virginia asks.
"It's a good possibility." Bianca answers.
"But, he'll eventually get over it, that's just how he is I guess." Cree replies.
"Yepe, stubborn, and a bit cold at times, but if all is well, he won't dwell on the idea for too long, and will return to his calm self." Kayla adds.
Virginia smiles.
"Toshiro is really close to Mariya, isn't he?" Virginia asks.
Cree blinks, then grins.
"Yeah, they're closer then anyone I've ever seen." Cree replies.
"Same here, I swear, if they did have the feelings, they'd make one of the cutest couples." Kayla comments.
Cree laughs.
"Mariya and Toshiro? Together? Now that would be a sight to see." Bianca says, smiling.
"Yeah, but if anything, I must say he is really protective of her, and she of him." Cree adds.
"Why exactly is that?" Virginia says.
Kayla, Cree and Bianca look at each other as the smiles on their faces fade into content frowns, their eyes changed even.
"Mariya hasn't told you yet?" Bianca asks.
"Tell me what?" Virginia answers.
"About...her death....14 years ago." Kayla trails.
Virginia's eyes widen.
"No...what happened?" Virginia asks.
Cree sighs.
"I'll explain..."

Mariya's Perspective
"Ha-CHOO!" Mariya sneezes, whipping her nose.
She sighs, happy that luckily nothing came out.
"Man, I guess someone must be talking about me somewhere." Mariya comments, walking up to her home.
As she comes to the deck, she yawns.
...Man, I must be more exhausted then I first thought I was...I need a nap...
"Mariya?"
She blinks, turning to see who it is.
She grins, recognizing Rikuto easily as he walks up to her.
"Rikuto, what a surprise." Mariya says as he comes to stand in front of her, "What are you doing here?
"Oh, I was just walking about the squad barracks, and I thought I'd stop by and say hello." he replies with a kind grin.
"Oh, well that's very nice of you." Mariya says.
Rikuto chuckles.
"Glad to brighten your day." he answers.
She chuckles back, before remembering something.
"Oh, that reminds me, last movie night, you apparently left something here." Mariya says.
He blinks.
"I did?" he asks.
She nods.
"Yeah, you wanna come in for a minute?" she asks.
"Sure." he replies, following as she opens the door, holding it open for him.
"Just follow me upstairs, alright?"
"Can do."
She turns, beginning up the stairs, not noticing as a sly look comes over Rikuto's face, secretly locking the door behind him before following.
A minute later, she's in her sitting area, happy and calmed by the light green color of the walls. Soon, she hears him following, turning to face back in his direction.
"Get distracted on your way up or something?" she asks with a chuckle.
"No, just started thinking randomly I guess he calls, secretly closing and locking her bedroom door.
"Well, I think I put it beside my bed, let me go get it." she says as he enters the room.
Without her knowledge, he chuckles darkly, walking towards the couch a smirk like one he's never smiled creeps up his face, his blue eyes becoming dark for a second.
Though, when she turns back into the room, his expression is kind and normal again, leaving her clueless.
She hands him a CD, the name written in Kanji letters.
"I think we listened to it during the previews, and I forgot to give it back." Mariya says as she holds it out to him.
He grins.
"Thanks, I had forgotten about it too." he says, taking it from her grasp.
"At least I'm not the only one who's forgetful." she comments with a laugh.
"Yeah..." he trails, looking down at her.
She blinks, noticing that he's getting closer to her, though she's lost in his blue eyes, his black bangs falling handsomely around them.
"R-Rikuto?..." she trails.
He drops the CD at his side, distracting her.
"Hey, you dropped the-" she starts.
Suddenly, Rikuto pulls her close, taking her by complete surprise as she feels him pick her up off her feet.
Her cheeks begin to burn red with embarrassment as she tries to pull away.
"R-Rikuto! P-Put me down!" she says, trying to sound tough though she's quite taken back.
Though, her efforts are useless, held tight in his arms, she's powerless to escape.
Her cheeks redden even more as he begins to kiss at her neck.
"Wh-What are you doing?!" she says, flabbergasted.
"I'm making you happy..." he replies, still kissing her neck.
"Do I sound happy?!" she asks.
Then, she's taken back even more as she feels him drop her onto the couch, only leaving her released for only seconds before pinning her down, getting on top of her.
Her heart begins to race erratically, not knowing what to do.
....Wh-What is he doing?!...I can't move!....
She looks up to see him chuckling, leaning over to kiss at her neck again, before moving farther down, causing her to freak out a bit.
"Rikuto, stop!" Mariya yells, "This isn't funny!"
"Who said I'm trying to be funny?" he asks.
He comes up, grinning.
"What are you thinking?!" she asks.
"That I'll entertain myself." he replies.
Her eyes widen.
"What?!"
"Hado number 1..." he starts.
She gasps.
"You wouldn't dare.." she starts.
"Sythe."
Before she knows what's happening, she's lost all feeling in her limps, her arms and legs becoming limp as the kido's power comes over her, making her paralyzed.
...N-No!...
"I-I can't move!" she yells.
"Which is exactly what I want." Rikuto comments.
She looks back up at him, only able to move her head.
He surprises her with a kiss on the cheek, making her turn redder.
"R-Rikuto..." she growls, becoming angered.
He chuckles.
"Dear Captain, you are quite a beautiful sight..." Rikuto trails, putting his hand to her cheek.
She blinks.
"I just thought it'd be nice to play with something so nice." he continues, moving his hand up to her bow, taking hold on one of the tails, pulling it fast, releasing her hair.
...What is he planning?!...
He drops her ribbon beside the couch, smiling with a darker look then she's ever seen.
"Captain Hitsugaya gave you that ribbon, it's a shame he's a his office and not around to see my show with you." Rikuto says.
"S-Show?" Mariya stutters.
"Yes, show, a game and a show can mix, can they not?" he replies, "But first, we must adjust some things."
Without warning, Rikuto pulls down on her collar, loosening it so it rests on her shoulders, showing off her shoulders now.
She gasps.
"R-Rikuto!"
"Hmm not enough."
He moves her haori to her elbows, trying to make it so that he can she her bra.
"Stop it!"
"Oh, wait I see the problem behind all this." Rikuto says, taking the tail of her sash bow, "This bodice is so tight so that in battle you don't have to worry about anyone trying to remove your top."
She feels herself beginning to tremble.
"N-No..."
"Well, let's get rid of this." he says a yank.
Moments pass as her bodice loosens greatly, causing her to yelp as Rikuto pulls open her top, revealing her bra.
"Stop..." Mariya trails, tears coming to her eyes.
"Damn, what are you, a C Cup?" he asks.
Her eyes widen.
Rikuto almost never cusses.
She grits her teeth in anger.
"Who are you?!" she yells.
Rikuto blinks, before chuckling.
"So, you finally realized I'm not the real guy.." Rikuto answers, his voice changing tone.
"Wait, y-you're.." she trails.
His eyes change to a warm brown.
"Shukaku, the Bijuu..."
She gasps, the jolt of surprise somehow breaking the kido.
"Shukaku, you bastard! Get off of me!" she yells, trying to push him off of her.
Her attempt is futile, only held tighter to the couch.
"Oh, I'm definitely not letting you go. I'm getting my revenge whether you like it or not!" Shukaku yells.
"You're undressing me to get revenge?! That doesn't make any sense!" she yells.
He laughs, worrying her.
"Oh, if only you knew what I'm doing, then this would be so much more fulfilling." Shukaku says, "Trust me, there's actually a really good reason behind all of this."
"Which would be?!"
"That damn cursed form of your's, the one you were in when you slaughtered my lover, it will be gone!" 
Her eyes widen.
"Lover? Nekomata was your lover?!"
"Yes, you bafoon! Nekomata was the love of my life, and you took her from me!"
Suddenly, Mariya feels a lump.
...Great, now this bastard is making me feel bad...
Then her eyes widen.
"Wait, what form?" Mariya asks.
"You transformed into a powerful form, even more powerful then Bankai to kill Nekomata, after what I do is done, you will never be able to use that power again!" 
"I don't know what you're talking about! And what are you trying to do?!" she yells.
Shukaku takes her by surprise, slipping her sleeves further down her arms, leaving her even more shown.
Her eyes widen, beginning to tremble even more then before.
...N-No....he couldn't be...
With a grin, Shukaku, still in Rikuto's form, leans over, so to easily whisper in her ear, putting her even more on edge.
"I'm taking away your greatest possession...your purity."
