The Handicap Girl
She's not known by many in Seireitei,
And yet she is known by all…
"Amazing!" The young girl said aloud as she viewed a beautiful garden. "I never knew there was such a place…"
"O-namae wo oshie-te kudasai," a slightly cold voice was heard from behind the young girl.
"Nani?" the girl was startled at this point. "oh… Watashi no namae wa Harue Winter desu. Eigo wo hanashi-masu-ka?"
"Yea. Why?" Apparently the voice belonged to a boy who seemed to be no older then the girl, or at least no more than a year or two older.
"I don't like speaking in Japanese too much; it isn't really my best language…"
"Oh, well, where are you from?"
"Around here…"
"But, you don't have a shinigami uniform…" This comment was said by the woman with wavy orangish hair who just walked in behind the boy. "I'm Matsumoto Rangiku, by the way."
"I just realized this, but are you supposed to be at the fourth division?" The boy asked.
"Why? Also, what's your name?"
"I'm Hitsugaya Toshiro. And I ask because you're sitting in a wheelchair…"
"Oh yea… I forgot…"
"You forgot? How can you forget if you're handicap?"
"I just can, that's all. I wasn't always in this wheelchair, you know."
"How'd you become handicap, then?" Matsumoto doesn't really have boundaries to what she'll ask apparently.
"Matsumoto! You don't ask people that kind of thing!" Matsumoto doesn't have boundaries, but Hitsugaya does, I guess… "If you have time to bother people, you have time to do paperwork…"
"But Taichou…"
"What a minute…" Winter doesn't really get much news; she has been inside most of the time she has been in Seireitei… "You're a captain?!?"
"Yep, he's my Taichou; he's the worst one, though. He's too strict and…"
"MATSUMOTO! GO DO THE PAPERWORK OR YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET ANY SAKE FOR A MONTH! Why did I have to get you as a fukutaichou…?" Hitsugaya's mad now…
"Hai!" that threat works on Matsumoto constantly…
Matsumoto immediately runs to the office, she probably won't get all the paperwork done, though. (Now Hitsugaya and Winter are alone in the garden)
"So, did you want to know why I'm handicap? Or can you tell me where I am…?"
"Well you are… wait, you don't know where you are?"
"Well I don't go outside much so…"
"You're in my private garden…"
"What?!? I had no idea! I'm sorry for disturbing you! I would bow if I could…"
"It's okay… Do you like it?"
'His face looks much more peaceful than it did when he was yelling at Matsumoto…' Winter thought almost out loud. "It's very beautiful here…"
"That's good… Did you need help finding your way back?"
"That's right! I wasn't supposed to leave! What division is this?"
"The 10th division…"
"Oh no! I need to be at the fourth division. It's not like I can run there, though…"
"Did you want me to walk you back? I could tell them you wanted to see a different division for once, or something…"
"Really? You'd help me?"
"Sure… I was going to take a walk anyway…"
"Thank you sooo much!"
Japanese used in this chapter:
O-namae wo oshie-te kudasai Tell me your name
Watashi no namae wa Harue Winter desu My name is Winter Harue
(Harue is Winter's last name so when I translated it, I put it the way you introduce yourself in America.)
Eigo wo hanashi-masu-ka? Do you speak English?
I might make a long or short chapter next… Reviews will probably make me write more… This chapter is short, I know… Don't worry, next chapter won't have as much Japanese...
