Strange Bottle

Chapter 1: Strange Bottle

Soft warm breezes flow against her dark brown hair while the 5th division vice-captain quietly reads a book on a hill near soul society under a tree. Taking a break from her paperwork she decided to read her book at her favorite spot.

Smiling as she reads, Hinamori hears something drop nearby. "Hm? What was that?" Hinamori looks around to find where the sound came from. Placing her book down, she leans over and looks behind the tree.

A small cart with a man trying to put a crate back onto his cart. Hinamori quickly stood up and rushed over towards the traveler who wore a hat and a red scarf.

"Do you need some help?" Hinamori called out as the man struggling to get the wooden carte back on the cart with a black bull. He hears someone and turns his head looking at the young girl rush towards him. The man smiles "Oh thank you!" They both grab the crate and place it carefully on the cart. The man bows his head "thank you so much for your help!" he thanked her.

Lifting his head up, the man had red hair and green eyes. Hinamori smiled "It's no problem!" He looked at the brown haired girl "You are very kind hearted to help a stranger like me."

Hinamori waved her hands in front of her "I-It's really nothing! You looked like you were having a hard time with the crate." She saw the crate's lid was slightly opened and a small glimpse what was inside the crate what seemed to be small glass bottles with some hay inside.

The man looking at the crate and smiled "See something interesting, young lady?" as he slowly opened the crate reveling bottles of different colored sparking sand inside. The bottles were all in different shapes and sizes. Glittered under the sun as they reflected off Hinamori's eyes.

"Wow...They're so beautiful!" Hinamori said as the man smiled "Why, thank you...These are special bottles, my own creations." There was one slot empty in the crate as Hinamori looked around and saw one bottle on the floor.

Hinamori gently picked up the bottle, it was in a small round shaped glass bottle with red sand inside it. "Oh, this one must of fell out..." she handed the bottle as the merchant looked at it and chuckled "Oh, haha that is very interesting...This one rarely ever comes out of the crate."

He took both hands and held Hinamori's hand with the bottle in her palms "Take it, please as a token for helping me."

Removing his hands away, Hinamori looked at the bottle "this is…for me?" The traveler nodded "Yes…I am a traveling merchant and this is a very special product! I hope this will help you as you have helped me."

She smiled "It's so pretty…Thank you! Please be safe during your travels" She bowed as the traveler bowed back "You are too kind…Thank you." Hinamori returned back to her hill and watched the traveler ride on his cart and disappear into the distance.

Looking down at the red sand, curious what could be inside…

"Hinamori" a voice called her as Hinamori jumped from the sudden call "Kya!" turning around to see her childhood friend with his arms crossed looking at her.

"Mou! You scared me Shiro-chan!" Hinamori holding onto her chest. "You get scared too easily…You should already recognize my reiatsu" he said. Hinamori pouted, what he said was true but all of the captains always appearing out of nowhere.

Noticed something in her hand "What's that in your hand?" Hitsugaya asked, she looked down and opened her hand showing the glass bottle "I don't know…I helped a traveler and he gave me this as a thank you gift!"

"You received a gift from a stranger…?" Hitsugaya giving an annoyed face as he took the bottle from her hands to examine it carefully. Simply tossing it back to her, Hinamori caught it in her hands "Throw that junk away…You don't even know what it is" he said harshly.

"That's so mean Shiro-chan! I think it's beautiful..." Hinamori said as she tightly held the small glass bottle "Wait…Why are you here anyways Shiro-chan?"

Hitsugaya quickly turned his head away from her "…You weren't in your office so; I thought you would probably be here like you always are." Truthfully, he came to visit her while he had time…

He laid down on the grass under the tree and let out a yawn "I'm going to take a nap a little bit…Wake me up within a few minutes." Closing his eyes with his arms behind his head. Hinamori smiled and placed the bottle in her pocket. Sitting next to her childhood friend and continued to read her book quietly as he took a nap next to her.

Inside her pocket, the lid of the bottle began to leak as the red sand slowly flowed out of her pocket and onto the grass…

Moments later, Hinamori finished a chapter of her book and looked at her childhood friend sleeping peacefully. She smiled as she softly brushed his white hair bangs away from his face "Shiro-chan?"

There was no reply, Hinamori gently touched his face "Shiro-chan, it's time to wake up" she called him again as he let out a moan. Slowly sitting up, he was still tried but the nap was exactly what he needed.

Feeling the soft breeze he looked at Hinamori "I can understand why you like this spot so much…"

"It's nice, right? You should come here more often too" she said smiling. They sat there for another minute as Hitsugaya slowly stood up "I better get back to work" he sighed "Matsumoto better be there working on paperwork when I get there…."

Hinamori let out a small laugh "have a good day Shiro-chan!" He looked down at her "Are you sure you'll be okay…Alone here?" concern for his childhood friend, she nodded "Don't worry; no one really comes around here and I'll be leaving soon."

"…Okay, I'll see you later" he walked down the hill while Hinamori waved at him. Hitsugaya raised a hand good bye to her as well and left.

Hinamori let out a yawn and closed her eyes 'maybe I'll…Take a small nap too…' slowly she drifted away as the leaves gently blew in the wind creating a peaceful and soothing sound.

It was slowly getting dark as the skies began to slowly turn light orange. A shadow hoovered above the sleeping brown haired girl as the shadow kneel down besides her. Hinamori felt someone put a hand on her shoulder and gently shook her.

"Hey" a voice said.

Hinamori heard the voice 'Shiro-chan…?' as she slowly opened her eyes. She thought it was her childhood friend but it was a boy kneeling down with his hand on her shoulder, looking at the boy he had black hair and dark red glowing eyes. He was dressed in a long hooded black coat with black pants.

"You're going to catch a cold if you stay here any longer…" he said as Hinamori slowly sat up. "Oh, I must have dozed off…" rubbing her eyes and let out a yawn.

"I guess you are the one who opened the bottle, thank you for opening me" the boy said as he slowly stood up. Hinamori blinked "Excuse me? Opened...?" He looked at her and arched his eyebrow "You opened the bottle…Right?"

Hinamori put her hand in her pockets and pulled out the bottle. The bottle was opened with the cork on the grassy floor and the red sand was gone. Hinamori's eyes widen as she placed her hand inside her pocket to see if there was any sand "The sand it's gone…The bottle, y-you were inside it!?"

He nodded with a smile as he put his hand over heart "Yes, my name is Vayu" he bowed towards her "At your service… Miss Hinamori Momo."
