Chapter one: Introduction

Toushiro POV

He was welcoming the new arrivals to his squad when his eyes fell upon her, her red irises swiveled up to meet his teal ones. "State your name and status" he had said to her, eager to use any excuse he could to learn her name. "Aya Kitaniji, Fourth seat" she said. Her voice was beautiful, perfect for singing. It took all of Toushiro's strength to not become hypnotized by it. He continued down the line of new arrivals, once in a while he glanced out of the corner of his eye at her, she was beautiful, and even better, this was the first woman he had ever met , other than Lieutenant Yachiru, that was shorter than him, if only by half an inch. 'Aya' He thought, such a beautiful name, it fit her perfectly. He looked, once again, out of the corner of his eye at her, and he caught her looking at him, she quickly looked down at her feet, and he could have sworn he saw her face go slightly pink.
