A/N: So this is Fan-fic No.2! It's a follow on from my first one with the same characters (and new ones too!), from my ideas so far it is going to turn out quite a lot longer too, but you can all deal with that right? I do not own any of the concepts or characters except for my OC's and that which surrounds them. Enjoy!
I was flying through the air over the vast landscape that stretched out below me in every direction. I looked to my left and saw my giant wing swooping up and down with an elegance of a swan. I was surrounded by a constantly shifting aura of black and white that seeped into my very being.
Suddenly in the bleak endless landscape ahead of me I spotted four bright lights that seemed to be moving away from me. I picked up speed, curious as to what these lights were in the middle of all this grey.
As I drew closer I could make out the colours of these strange lights, they were blue, green, red and purple. Strange power was pulsing from them and as I wondered what on earth they could be the blue one slowed and turned to face me.
It was a wonderfully majestic ice dragon, just like Tōshirō's Hyōrinmaru ...
"Taichou" I heard someone say faintly from somewhere, but I didn't care. I wanted to know who this dragon of ice was.
"Taichou" The persistent voice carried on a little louder now. 'Shut up!' I thought to myself, this was not the time to talk to a Captain.
The voice was joined by another, a very familiar one.
SPLASH! My eyes flew open as I spluttered for air. I was lying on a futon in my bedroom drenched through, with a grinning Shuhei leaning over me an empty bucket in hand.
"What the hell Shuhei!" I screamed, into his laughing face.
"Emiri here has been trying to wake you for ages and I walked past and noticed so figured I should help out." I looked past Shuhei's shoulder and saw a rather timid 5th seat who had an apologetic look on her face.
I sat up, "Ahhh well that explains it, but you do realise I will get you back for this Shuhei. "Anyway Emiri was there anything you particularly wanted to wake me for or just a nice little chat?"
Emiri blushed, "Um not a chat no. It's just that we received a message from squad 10, and I um figured you would want to know about it."
"Ah the wonderful Squad 10. Well what is the message that is of utmost importance?"
Emiri handed me a sheet of paper, "Again I'm sorry that I had to wake you Captain."
"Not at all Emiri, just try not to let Shuhei help next time!" I said with a laugh, she smiled before standing up and exiting the room.
"You going to read it then?" Shuhei asked me.
"Of course!" I told him as I unfolded the paper. Written in neat characters was a note from Tōshirō, like it could have been anyone else.
"What does it say?" inquired a curious Shuhei.
"It says, Dear Caitlin, I believe you do not have duty today and wondered if by any chance you had ever heard of a quaint little café called Akemi's? I was wondering if you wished to join me for breakfast there at around 9 o'clock. Yours and always yours, Tōshirō."
"Aww that's so sweet!" Shuhei said trying to keep down the howls of laughter threatening to erupt.
"Glad you think so." I said rolling my eyes at his pathetic attempt at keeping his laugh under control, "Anyway do you know where Akemi's is?"
"Yeah sure, I'll escort you there madam." The laughter could be held no longer and soon enough Shuhei was on the floor clutching his side.
I gave him a quick kick, "I thought you said you would escort me, not lay on the floor and laugh your head off! Anyway I need to get changed because for some reason my clothes are drenched." I gave him a stern look.
"Sorry Caitlin," He said while standing up, "I just can't help it."
"Well I'm glad you realise that your laughter is something that happens naturally..."
"No I can't help waking you with water, you sleep like a log and nothing else seemed to work." He cut in with a grin on his face before rushing out the room so I couldn't
smack him around the head for it.
"Well that was an interesting start to the morning." I muttered to myself as I started to retrieve clean clothes that would be acceptable for my date.
As I changed I thought about the dream I had been having, was it just a dream or did it mean something. That ice dragon had certainly looked an awful lot like Hyōrinmaru, but what about the other three?
