"Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other?

You'll always be my thunder"

-Thunder by Boys Like Girls

It was a rainy day in Seireitei. Back in the tenth division barracks, Hitsugaya-taichou reminisced as he filled out his large stack of paperwork. Thunder roared in the distance, and lightning flashed across the sky. It was not the time for him to be so distracted, but with such a stormy day, he couldn't help but think of her. The girl he couldn't stop thinking about, the one he left behind in the world of the living: Kurosaki Sayuri.

'Get a grip, Toshiro. You need to get this paperwork done today!' he told himself.

[The previous summer]

"We're going back to Soul Society tomorrow," Toshiro said, his back to the orange haired girl. Sayuri frowned. It had never occurred to her that he would have to go back to Soul Society. It only made sense that they would have to depart sooner or later. After all, he was a captain. Toshiro had a job to do. Her chocolate brown eyes dulled a little, and she sighed.

"I want you to promise me something," she said. Toshiro turned to face her and gave her his full attention. "Promise me... Promise me that you'll come visit." Sayuri's cheeks turned a light shade of pink.

Toshiro's turquoise eyes softened at her request, and he tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. "That's a given. I would never think about abandoning you. Sayuri, you have no idea what you mean to me." He gave her a small smile, and it was at that moment she thought she would melt where she stood.

Yes, she was his world; she was the sun that brightened his day, the soundtrack of his summer, his thunder. The very thought of her smile gave him the power to do anything. He would do anything to prevent her tears, yet his leaving was the one thing that made her cry.

"I promise I'll come back for you, Sayuri... Please, please don't cry."

She was, after all, his thunder.
