Kaia looked at the sky. It was the end of another day at war. The sky was orange, purple, and fading to black. She looked down at her shinigami uniform, then down at the hollow&#039;s face she was stepping on. she backed away, bumping into another hollow.She looked at the desert stretched out before her, it was covered in white, black, and red. The blood of fellow Shinigami and her enemies.She was ready to fall to her knees. <br />
<br />
&quot;Inoue!&quot; Kenpachi yelled, the whole division was returning to the Soul Society for a month of healing. She turned around and ran, barely catching up. Neyoshi Kuchiki was helping Minomi Hitsugya walk, her leg was bloody, mishapened, and her arm was missing. Kaia wrapped her arm around Minomi, looking at Neyoshi. Neyoshi looked at her, his eyes may have been his father&#039;s, but they were much more loving and looked at her with deep concern. She blushed, looking away. Minomi chuckled, and the two snapped their heads at her. <br />
<br />
&quot;Minomi!&quot; Neyoshi said, looking at her. Her face was splattered with blood,one of her eyes closed. &quot;Oh man, Captain Hitsugya will NOT be happy&quot; Taro said as the three re-entered the Soul Society, giving Minomi over to the fourth division. <br />
<br />
Taro looked at his cousin, then at Minomi as she was paced on a stretcher. &quot;The captain couldnt fight very well knowing the 11th division was in Hueco Mundo. He really cares about his daughter, ya know&quot;. Taro walked to the window in front of the operation room, looking at Minomi. Neyoshi looked at Kaia, who turned her head and looked down the hall.<br />
<br />
&quot;Kaia.&quot; Neyoshi said quietly, putting his hand on her blood-splattered face. &quot;NEYOSHI KUCHIKI&quot; A short, black haired woman shrieked. Hisanna wrapped her arms around her son, while Rukia hugged Taro, who walked over to Neyoshi, Hisanna, and Kaia. The red-haired boy shook his mother off, Neyoshi doing the same.<br />
<br />
&quot;Kaia, dear, where is your mother?&quot; Rukia asked, still being close friends with Orihime. &quot;Umm, still in the human world with dad, fighting.&quot; She said. Rukia cringed, her shinigami uniform stained with dried blood. &quot;Where&#039;s dad?&quot; Taro asked. &quot;With Byakua and the 6th division. Theyre the ones taking over the 11th division&#039;s shift in Hueco Mundo...&quot; Hisanna said, trailing off. Neyoshi hugged her, a little wet blood getting on her clothes. She started to cry, Rukia escorting her back to the Kuchiki manor. <br />
<br />
&quot;ABARAI! INOUE! KUCHIKI!&quot; Toushiro yelled. The three teenage shinigami looked at his worried face. &quot;where is Minomi?!&quot; He yelled. Even though he had grown over the years, he was still short. But every since his wife, Momo, had died, he was overprotective of his daughter. Taro pointed at the window. &quot;S-s-surgery&quot; he choked. Toushiro twitched, barrging into the room only t be escorted out. Kaia sighed.<br />
<br />
Neyoshi wrapped his arm around Kaia, guiding her out of the hospital. He was tall compared to her, his black hair reaching is shoulders. He held her tightly, attacks could happen anywhere, they had nearly lost their friend Nanba Kurosaki to one. Neyoshi turned Kaia to face him, putting his arms around her waist.<br />
<br />
&quot;N-Neyoshi. Not in public... if someone saw you?&quot; She whispered. Neyoshi&#039;s father never approved of Kaia having human and quincy parents. Neyoshi chuckled, shaking his head. &quot;Let them see.&quot; He leaned in and kissed her deeply. She kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck. when he gentley seperated his lips from hers, she sighed.<br />
<br />
&quot;Imagine if this never existed. Imagine if there were no shinigami or hollows.No death, no hueco mundo, or soul society.&quot; she whispered.<br />
<br />
&quot;Lets make that happen&quot; Neyoshi whispered back, his forehead against hers.
