Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own these wonderful characters from Bleach. I will take ownership of Kaida Matsu and any plot developments that differ from the actual plot.

Warnings: This story will contain violence, swearing, and mentions of rape/sexual abuse. It will also have several spots where the plot will change from the actual story line of Bleach. There may be some spots where certain characters get OOC.

Author's Note: Hello people out there. I wish to thank you for taking the time to at least look at my stories and I apologize for not writing anything sooner. I've had a lot going on and still do. I hope you enjoy my stories and know that any helpful criticism is welcomed. I also will apologize in advance for any lateness in chapter updates, I will try to make sure to get at least one chapter a week up.

Character Info:

NAME: Matsu, Kaida (last, first)

AGE: Looks to be about 20, she is actually only a few years younger than Shunsui and Jyuushiro.

LOOKS: Medium height with a slender build. Pale lavender hair, in certain lights it turns an ivory looking color. Eyes are a vivid silver, the pupils are a bit different from a normal persons' eyes because of an accident when she was younger. Her face is shapely and well colored, not to pale not burnt either. There is a scar running from one temple across her eyes to the other temple. Kaida has many scars along her body, both from when she was human and when she came to Seireitei. Her shinigami outfit is definitely not like any other, mainly because of her fighting style. The top half of her body is wrapped in bandages, her shirt only consisting of a strip of black cloth over her breasts and tying behind her neck, almost like a halter top. She wears a pair of black skin tight pants underneath a deep purple skirt that goes to mid-thigh with a slit up the right leg. Over it all she wears a black haori.

ABILITIES: Because of the scar across her eyes, Kaida is technically blind. But she has enough reiatsu to keep a constant dome of reiatsu around her that can expand to her liking, using her reiatsu she is able to pinpoint anything that comes at her from any direction, making her a formidible foe. A set back but also a plus about her ability to see is that she cannot see a persons' face until she has touched the face and traced each detail with her hands, once she has 'seen' the face though she will never be fooled by a fake.

ZANPAKUTO: Kaida has a rare Zanpakuto that comes in a pair, even when not released. Her two katanas can be found criss-crossed across her back, hilts at her shoulders. Her Zanpakuto represents the six elements*, the 'light' elements represented by the sword held in her left hand (over her right shoulder) and 'dark' elements by the sword in her right hand (over the left shoulder). When released into the Shikai form, the command being Kouyou Kigan tame Toku, each one radiates the three colors of the elements hidden in the blade. Bankai form also comes in a rare form. Each sword turns into more of a whip (three parts to each). Nobody knows that Kaida has actually reached Bankai but that will eventually change.

PAST: In the human world Kaida was a poor child whom was always beaten, abused, and raped. Even when she came to Seireitei the scars stayed. Kaida was found by Kenpachi when he was still in Rukongai. The two of them traveled together until one particular battle split Kenpachi and Kaida apart. For years they each believed the other dead, that is until after years of being apart Kenpachi found Kaida in a bar near the gates of Seireitei. After being in the Academy for a total of 5 days, Kaida was summoned by the So-Taicho Yamamoto and after seeing her abilities she was placed as the third seat to Kuchiki-Taicho's squad. Not much else is known of her yet except that she will soon become the Third Squad Taicho.
