Sitting on the ground, he called my name, "...Crystal?"
"Yes. Its me..." I replied, turning just my face to see his. "Sorry that I have kept this a secret from you. I knew you were a Shinigami from the day you met Rukia, Ichigo."
"Then why didnt Rukia tell me?"
I gave out a small sigh. "Because I told Rukia not to tell you nor the others."
"So you've been seeing me go Shinigami, and never helped out this whole entire time...?" he had a surprised expression on his face. "You... you're the 9th Captain?!" Even with my Zanpakutou on top of the number '9', he still read the number.
"Yes, I am the new 9th Captain, Ichigo."
"Then... then why didnt Rukia know? Not even Renji? How come anyone we've asked didnt know?" Ichigo stood up and came towards me, I turned my whole entire body.
"Because only the Captians know, and I told them not to tell anyone, until I reveal it myself." I looked down. "Sorry I'm keeping alot of secrets from you. I just had to.
"But, before I tell you any more information, I'm going to defeat the enemy." and spun around to face the Arrancar named Ace.
"I'll go with you." and reached to his pocket.
"No. Why dont you watch me fight this time?" and gave him a small smile.
I slowly turned to face Ace, and reached back to my Zanpakutou. When I touched the stalk of my Zanpakutou, i used Shunpo and appeared right in front of Ace. I took out my Zanpakutou and swong it down.
