Yukiko frowned as she stepped from the gateway. She was late, something she hated more then almost anything. But then her captain had needed her to take care of one last thing and she was never one to say no. The man had done more for her then she had ever expected from anyone when she had first gotten her post. Over the years, he had earned her personal trust.

Without a thought, she pulled her Zanpakto free, slicing cleanly threw a hallow's mask just before it got to close. She moved easily to the next one, working her way to them.
