His heart is pounding; his bed sheets are wet from his sweat. He looked around the room with his dark purple eyes, there was no Hollow, there was no death. The cold air breezed though Kiyoshi Shouri's room, his dark hair which covered both sides of his face blew across his face in the wind. He removed the sheets off him and sat up on the edge of his bed. "When will these nightmares stop" Kiyoshi said to himself, he covered his face with his left hand and touched the scar over his left eye before he stood up and walked towards the window. The morning sun was already upon the horizon, he looked down upon the grounds of Squad 8. He could see somebody standing under a tree by the barracks entrance, Kiyoshi decides to go and see who it was and walked out of his room, down the stairs and out of the barracks.
Kiyoshi sees a man standing under the tree his long, silver hair telling him it was his old Lieutenant, Sakana. He slowly walked towards him before making his presence known, "Good morning Sakana" he shouts out to him. The man jumps and turns around "good morning Captain Shouri" Sakana said in a startled voice. Sakana was taller than Kiyoshi and much more muscular, he had pale skin and turquoise eyes. "It's a bit early in the morning for you Captain" he said giving a nervous smile. Kiyoshi raised his brow in curiosity, "early, Sakana you obviously have not seen me get up in the morning, but this is the first time I have seen you up before the crack of dawn, what has got you up this early" he asked Sakana he asked and moved next to him and leaned against the tree.
Sakana looked at Kiyoshi with a shocked look on his face, obviously surprised that Kiyoshi had picked up on what he was thinking. "n-nothing Captain Shouri" he said and bowed towards him. Kiyoshi laughed "there will also be enough of calling me Captain, brother" he said and moved to stand in front of Sakana, the wind blew Kiyoshi's hair across his face, "your about to become a Captain yourself, I won't stand you calling me Captain anymore" he said and placed his hand upon his brother's shoulder. "From now on you either call me Kiyoshi or brother, you got it" he said and looked at Sakana with a stern look.
"Yes brother" he stuttered. "Good" Kiyoshi said and as he walked back towards the barracks he shouted back at Sakana "don't be so nervous, I'm sure you will do fine in Squad 13," he then disappeared into the shadows within the barracks and left Sakana standing there to think deeply of what his brother had told him.
