They called me crazy, insane, and a lot of other things. They refused to believe my truth; they called me a damn crazy liar. They wanted to take away my captain status if I spread these so called 'rumors' around the Seireitei. They said I was some weak young girl that knew nothing about this world and I should just shut the fuck up. I knew more than them; they were the ignorant ones. They will pay for this, and it will most likely end with their lives being taken a little too soon. I personally do not care what they loose; it only shows that I am right.
Maybe I am crazy; maybe I am just an insane little girl that should be in a padded room hidden somewhere a few dozen meters under ground. Part of me hopes this could be true, I would love to just be crazy. That would make everything make sense; but, this sensation in my gut tells me that this is not true.
These voices will not stop, they follow me everywhere. My only solace from them is sleep.
Oh beautiful sleep; so silent and enchanting.
"Captain Wakahisa," a voice said and I cringed as I turned toward the source. Standing a few feet away was my lieutenant.
With a small smile I said, "yes, Siba?"
The unkempt man took a few steps closer to me yawning and sitting down, "how did your meeting with the Captain Commander go?" I bit my lip annoyed, I did not want to tell him the truth. I did not even tell him why I had to meet with the Captain Commander to begin with. That old man and Unohana refused to believe a word I said and said if I spoke a word to anyone else within the Seireitei I will be imprisoned.
I cannot sit back and do nothing.
I have to do something to help protect myself because I do not want to die like these ignorant fools. I will listen to the duo, I will not tell anyone else just in case they pass the words back to them; but, I will go to the one person I already told since he will definitely help me with this.
"Badly I guess," Shiba muttered at my non response.
I groaned as I sunk into my spot, "yeah, but it does not matter. It was something silly anyway"
"Eh, are you going to sit here all day and moan about it still?" Shiba said.
I turned toward him with fire in my eyes as I remembered something, "nope I will not." I stood up with a smile on my face, "why aren't you in the office working? Last time I saw there was a day's worth of paperwork on your table because you did none of it yesterday." Shiba's face paled as he remembered it and jumped out off the ground.
"Umm… I finished it, but I will go check if there is any new work now," he lied quickly knowing if he waited any longer he would have to pay my wrath.
"That is the damn spirit Shiba, you must really love your paperwork" I exclaimed, "I will go to the other squads to see if they have any to spare for you."
"Shit" he yelled as he ran back to squad 10 office. I laughed, I may not be able to take my anger out on Unohana and Yamamoto but I can definitely take it out on my lieutenant.
I am a great captain, right?
With a small laugh I followed Shiba back to the barracks until I heard a voice above me.
"I told you they would not believe you," the voice said and I looked up. Above me in the tree, with a glowing aura from the sun behind him, sat the only person in the Seireitei that both knew my secret and actually believed me completely.
"You were right, okay?" I said as I looked away from him, "they said I was crazy and to not tell anyone else about my wacko theories." With a piteous look he jumped down from the branch and joined me in the darkness below. I gazed into the chocolate brown eyes sadly below looking around for any witnesses. When I was completely sure we were alone I whispered, "Sousuke, I need your help." Sousuke responded to my question with an agreeing smile.
I knew I could trust him.
"What should we begin with?" Sousuke asked.
"Research," I replied, "research anything to do with Quincies and Yhwach. Do not let anyone catch on to this. This includes your captain; Hirako can never know since he already does not trust you and it will make him more suspicious."
The shadows are whispering.
