I just left the candy shop just before Bankai training because I had someone to go see. It was my brother. I had a feeling he needed some words from me. So here I stood in front of an abandoned building that had some kind of barrier around it.

I knew my brother was in there. In fact, I could hear him panting in there. I could feel his anger from out here.

I saw someone walk out and I was met with a male who had brown eyes and straight blond hair that went to his jawline. Just by being this close I could tell he had strong reishi, in fact, he feels like a soul reaper.

"so might you

"so might you. I think you may be my first love, " he said.

I smiled glad I left my captain's cloak at the store.

"Akiko Kurosaki, may I know your name?" I said.

"Shinji Hirako, so what brings you here?" he said.

"I was wondering if I could see my brother, Ichigo?" I said.

I could tell he was sceptical. Then a sandle came flying at him as a young came out.

"what's happening Shinji!" she called.

"Hiyori I'm dealing with it. " He said his attitude suddenly changing.

"I apologize for my intrusion. I just wanted to see Ichigo before I'm unable to because I have to train, " I said.

"why?" Hiyori said.

I smile at them.

"He's my brother. I'm just a bit worried is all, " I said.

Hiyori went to say something but stopped and Shinji dragged her in calling my brother. Ichigo soon came out with a few others following. when he saw me he ran up to be pulling me into a hug.

" you're okay. I was worried. If only I wasn't so weak, but don't worry I'm going to get stronger, but you shouldn't be here. I'm going to go through something and I don't want you to think of me any differently, " he said.

I was smiling until his last statement. My eyes narrowed and I kicked him, sending him flying into a wall. I turned to the shocked others and smiled.

"excuse me I have to speak with him, " I said walking over to him.

He went to sit up but I grabbed his collar pulling him up to meet my gaze.

"How foolish do you think I am. I'm well aware of the hollow inside you. And I don't give a damn. If you become a hollow I will beat the humanity back into you and again beat you when you're back to your normal self. And if it happens again I will repeat the process. I love you, damn idiot, and I always will, no matter what happens. I may be disappointed in you; anger at you mad, sad, annoyed, but I will never stop loving you. No matter what you do or how I feel I will never hate or fear you, never, " I said.

Ichigo looked at me shocked and I huffed pushing him to the ground. I stood up and went to walk away.

"Aki, thank you, " he said.

I spared him a glance and smiled.

"I'm your twin what else would you expect. Do you think I would let you down in seal pity and fear of yourself? I'd be damned if I let that happen. Now I have to be on my way I have my own training to do, " I said walking away.

Shinji watched the girl leave. Having just witnessed that encounter and seeing how Ichigo change from it made him glad he let her talk to him.

She was a strange one for sure.
