The low soft murmurs of footsteps made their way through the Soul Society that night. The high pitched creeks of the wooden tile, the subtle melodies that were being sung by the local cicadas rung out into the night, and the bright diamond like stars glistening in the midnight sky set forth a beautiful scene for the ever so young evening. With a swift movement a wooden door was opened to reveal a captain busy at his paperwork, his form was rigid and solid; focused. "Captain, it's late. If you don't mind me suggesting, you really should go to bed." Deep brown eyes made their way towards the door, to see his 4th seat standing in the door way. She had long snow white hair, bright green eyes, and possessed a tiny little fragile frame. He smiled gently "Amelia, there's no need to worry about me. I'm almost finished. Can I help you with something? Very rarely do I ever get visits late at this hour of the night." She then stepped forward and handed him a piece of paper. "Captain, I would like to submit a request form."
His eyebrows raised "A request? You want to transfer to squad 12?"
"Yes, I feel like I am no longer gaining anything from my experience here. So I wish to expand my abilities elsewhere." She was lying; her will was breaking under his gaze. She hoped that those brown eyes didn't notice the fear that filled her eyes.
He smiled, and approached the girl, carefully caressing her face.
"Oh Amelia," he cooed "Is that the only reason you wish to leave? Or is there other reasons?"
"No, Captain. I have no other reason for leaving." The smile on his face disappeared and his hand that was so gently caressing her face turned into a tight grip around her throat. She then tried to pry his hands away from her neck, kicking, jerking her body back forth trying desperately to break free.
He chuckled and tightened his grip, watching as clear tears drops slid from off her cheeks and onto his hand. "Amelia, stop moving you'll only make matters worse for yourself." He then threw the girl onto the ground, and watched as she gasped for air. The man then climb on top of her, his face then began to morph into a hollow mask, the timbur of his voice dropped two octaves and that once pristine, rigid, solid body of his manifested into a black cocoon. An eerie voice escaped the creature lips "Amelia, you will never leave m…" "Amelia! Wake up." Amelia shot straight up and took in her surroundings. 'It was just a dream' her eyes made their way towards Momo. "Are you ok Amelia?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just… Just had a really bad dream that's all."
"You've been having them a lot lately. Are you sure you're ok? Do you want to talk about it?"
Amelia just shook her head and made her way out of bed. "Look Momo, thank you for your concern. But I'll be fine. Now you better get going or you might miss your meeting with Captain Aizen." Momo blushed with a smile beaming from her face. "Thank you Amelia! I'll see you later!" Amelia waved goodbye to the giddy girl, shaking her head as she watched her dash off to meet her beloved captain. 'Stupid girl. You just have no idea' she then changed into her normal attire and headed towards the training grounds, watching as all the new recruits filled the squad 5 barracks.
She then whistled and gained the attention of 40 new recruits that were anxiously waiting to dive right in to their new lives of being a part of squad 6.
"Listen up, if you thought that becoming a soul reaper and joining the 13 court squads was going to be easy you're dead wrong. It's a lot of hard work, and I promise that if you thought that the academy was hard then let me be the first welcome you to hell. There's always the possibility of losing your life whenever going out on a mission. If that's not up your ally, then I will be happy to personally relocate you to squad 4, we are always in new of great medics. But, if you are as I am and death doesn't scare you then you're in the right place my friends. Allow me to introduce myself I am 4th seat Amelia Kumori and welcome to squad 6."
Twenty minutes passed and Amelia finished her briefing with the new recruits and turned walking to her captain's quarters. With each step she took she remembered the dream she had dreamt and cringed. Stopping in front of the bamboo sliding door, she knocked gently and in response she heard the warm velvet voice of Captain Aizen grant her permission to proceed inward. His deep coco eyes met her green ones. He smiled "I heard you gave the recruits quite the speech ."
She rolled her eyes "How long are you going to keep the fake smile on your face. It's irritating."
He chuckled and then approached her, bringing her into his embrace.
"Why so negative Amelia? I would think you would be happy to see me."
She glared at her captain, taking in his scent she sighed.
"Captain, why won't you approve my request to transfer to squad 12? Do you hate me? "
He shook his head, placing a kiss upon her forehead. "Oh, Amelia. I do not hate you; if I did I would've killed you a long time ago."
"Then why are you keeping me here with you? Sousuke, you're tearing me apart!"
He smiled and removed his glasses, slicking his hair back and placing a kiss on her lips, returned to his desk and looked through his papers. "Amelia, you're my muse. Without you I would be bored and lack inspiration. Besides, I look forward to the day I get to make you my queen." She winced, disgusted with the idea of being his. She despised him, they grew up together and Sousuke was never like this as a child. But as they say people change with age; and him well, he changed for the worse. She was a scientist by heart so when growing up with him she was naturally intrigued by his actions and the way he thought things out. Hell, she respected the man for thinking outside the box but, things got too out of hand when the graduated from the academy. Sousuke took up a new interest. An interest better left un-said. As they grew older Sousuke began to take a new interest in her. Originally he took care of her like a sister, but once they entered the academy that is when his feelings for her grew strong and he has refused to have her leave his side ever since.
He then dismissed her to carry out her duties, walking out with a large stack of paper in her grasp she scurried on over to the barracks of squad 8. Making her way to the Captain's chambers she stopped to notice how the cherry blossoms had not bloomed yet.
"Well, good afternoon 4th seat Kumori." Her eyes shifted over to the captain who was draped in a pink floral pattern. She smiled her heart filled with laughter as she felt him approach her. "Good afternoon Captain Kyoraku. Have I ever told you that I really appreciate your personality?"
"No, not that I'm aware of. But hey, I'm pretty sure Captain Aizen's personality isn't that bad."
She nodded her head "I suppose your right Captain Kyoraku. " She handed her stack of papers to the captain.
"These are for you, Captain Aizen says these are to be signed and delivered by this Friday."
He nodded his head and dismissed her and left wondering why she had seemed so stressed. Shrugging his shoulders he figured it was probably just nothing.
Amelia made it back to her chambers later that evening after finishing the rest of her duties, and laid down on her bed relaxing when a knock was heard from the outside of her door.
"Who is it?"
"Take a guess."
Amelia then jumped up, ecstatic to hear the voice of her lover. She quickly opened her door and jumped into his arms.
"I missed you, but hurry inside. You're not supposed to be seen!"
His grin widened as he enter through the threshold of her bedroom. "What can I say, I miss ya and I had some free time so I figured I would come a visit ya. Plus, I've needed a break from the warehouse."
She smiled and stood on her tip-toes and gave him a kiss.
"I've missed you too Shinji."
