It was a beautiful morning, a girl with long black hair, chocolate brown eyes sat down on the patio watching the morning sun.
"Ah look, the sunrise! Look look look"Aoki said to the boy beside her.
"Geez, I'm tired why did you have to wake me up so early"Kimaru said.
"Stop complaning, we got to see the morning sun. You should be grateful"Aoki said.
"Yeah , yeah"Kimaru said. He doesn't understand why Aoki would always make them watch the sun rise. Every single morning. It's just the morning sun. However Kimaru always came when Aoki told him. He didn't know why, maybe it's cause she was the heir to the Ariyosho household. No, he came because he saw it made her happy,. He watched as Aoki began to paint it. You could here the soft tips of her brush. Kimaru sighs and decides to join her.
"So, this morning you've decided to paint?"Kimaru said. She nodded and began explaining why. A smile appears on Kimarus face, he knew Aoki loved to blab on and on about her work.
"So you two, watching the morning sun?"a familar voice said. Both of them spins around and see's a tall guy with White snowy hair. His teal coloured eyes , wearing a dark blue kimono.
"Ah, Tamaki-sama"Aoki said dropping her brush and hugging the guy.
"Morning Aoki-chan"Tamaki said.
"Ahem"Kimaru said.
"Oh and you as well Kimaru-kun"Tamaki said. He smirked, he and Tamaki were close friends. Hitsugaya Tamaki was a strong warrior and Kimaru's sensei. He wanted to be just like him some day. His girlfriend was Sakura, Aoki's sensei.
"Tamaki-sama, look at Aoki's painting it's amazing right?"Kimaru says. Aoki blushed.
"It isn't that good. I don't think the colours worked well"Aoki said. Tamaki walks over to examine the painting.
"I wouldn't say so, I think this is your best painting yet"Tamaki said. Aoki blushed even more.
"So…. Tamaki-sama… Does Sakura-sama need me now?"Aoki said.
"Yes, infact she said she would meet you in the trainning grounds"Tamaki said.
"Ah I see"Aoki said about to walk of.
"Wait a momment Aoki-chan"Tamaki said.
"Hai?"Aoki said.
"Take Kimaru, with you"Tamaki said.
"Huh? Aren't we going to do any trainning today"Kimaru said.
"Sorry I'm busy now, maybe tommorow?"Tamaki said. Kimaru mummbled "Fine".
"Come on, it's not like your not strong"Tamaki said.
"I gues"Kimaru said.
"Tamaki-sama your far to kind on him. Kimaru can't even control his reiatsu.."Aoki said.
"Hey you can't either"Kimaru snapped.
"Yeah I can, I have been for a month now"Aoki said as a large blue energy appears on her hands.
"How.."Kimaru said.
"Trainning"Aoki said. Kimaru pulled a face, both of them did the same trainning exercise's yet Aoki always managed things before him.
"Anyhow, I must leave you two now"Tamaki said.
"Hai"we both said. A strong gust of wind blew as he left.
"Its already been 3 years huh?"Aoki said.
"Yeah"Kimaru said. 3 years ago, both of them went on a mission with Tamaki and his wife Ami. Back then it was those two. Untill she died, they were married and she only just gave birth to a child. Tamaki knew since he was the same age as the boy. They knew that Tamaki wouldn't be able to handle ever looking at Toushiro since he looked like his mother. So Kimaru had brought the kid to "The soul society" the 1st district Jyonbo. Kimaru didn't want to leave his friend there. Since he , Aoki and him were close friends.
Kimaru shuddered, the memory still haunted him then. He felt Aoki's warm hands on his.
"Lets get going Kimaru"Aoki said.
"Yeah"Kimaru said. Once they arrived at the trainning grounds. Sakura, was already waitting for them.
"Hello there you two"Sakura said.
"Sakura-sama"Aoki said giving her a huge hug. Kimaru walks over to them.
"Morning Kimaru"Sakura said.
"Morning nee-san"Kimaru said. Aoki let go of Sakura.
"So you two watched the sunrise together right?"Sakura said.
"Yeah! I did some painting too, I can't wait to show you"Aoki said.
"I can't wait to see it, I'm sure it's going to be lovely"Sakura said.
"Uh…. I know it's around here somewhere"Aoki said looking for it.
"Baka, you left it back there"Kimaru said.
"Gah… I really wanted to show you"Aoki said.
"Im sure it isn't lost. Ruka or Akane or Naomi probably found it and is bringing it back to your room"Sakura said. Kimaru looks over at Aoki and saw that she had calmed down. Ariyosho Aoki, the eldest daughter to Miharu and Kumatsrou. Her long black shiny hair, she was tall for her age and had chocolate brown eyes that always sparkled. Aoki notices him staring at her and smiled. Kimaru felt his face go bright red.
"Are you okay Kimaru? Your face has gone bright red"Aoki said, concerned.
"Im fine"Kimaru said.
"Are you sure? Maybe your sick"Aoki asked. He shakes his head.
"Just to be sure"Aoki said. She reaches over to touch his forehead. He blushed red as tomato. Dam Aoki, why does she have to be so cute. Sakura grinned. Oh no, she better not. His sister had figured out his crush on Aoki before even he did.
"So how did you wake Kimaru this morning?"Sakura said.
"Well he wouldn't wake up, when I did though…. Well ummm…"Aoki said. Kimaru blushed even redder now, rembering what had happend.
"Your both blushing, something happend tell"Sakura said. Kimaru kept his mouth shut but Aoki told her.
"I was trying to wake him up and when he did… he tripped over and so…."Aoki stammered struggling to find words.
"—we kissed"Kimaru mummbled.
"KAWII!! I knew you two would be perfect for eachother"Sakura said.
"S–sakura-sama, me and Kimaru are only friends"Aoki said.
"No need to be shy"Sakura said. Kimaru begins to walk of.
"–ah… Um Kimaru where are you going?"Aoki called out.
"Im going to get your painting"Kimaru said, and with that he was of.
As time went by
Aoki frowned, she couldn't believe Kimaru had just left. She was secretly looking forward to them trainning together, they hadn't trained with each other in awhile and he just blew it of. Dam it! Baka Kimaru.
"Aoki…"Sakura said.
"Gomen, I was spacing out"Aoki said. Her sensei put her sword back in it's case.
"Lets leave it at that"Sakura said.
"Hai"Aoki said. As they sat down.
"So Aoki, I've been meaning to ask you something"Sakura said.
"Ask me what sensei?"Aoki said. She takes a sip of her drink and twirls her bright yellow hair.
"Though you won't admit it, do you love my brother?"Sakura said.. Aoki spat out the onigri she was just eating.
"W–hy would you say that?"Aoki said.
"I don't know, just a feeling I have"Sakura said.
"If I did, would you get mad"Aoki said.
"No I won't, well do you? Love my brother I mean"Sakura said. Aoki thought about it for awhile, before she answered. She had known Kimaru since he was born the same with Ruka, Aoki had also seen him as a bestfriend. But lately she had been feeling something else for her friend. Whenever they were together she was happy…more happy. When he went on mission's she would always be worried thinking he might never come back. That kiss this morning… Aoki knew then.
"I think I, love Kimaru.."Aoki whispeard. But Sakura had heard her and a smile appears on her face.
"Good answer"Sakura said standing up.
"Huh? Sakura-sama"Aoki said.
"Weve been assigned on a mission with Tamaki and Kimaru"Sakura said. Aoki froze, how could she face Kimaru now. Knowing she gained feelings for him.
"Aoki let's go"Sakura said.
"Hai"Aoki said.
Kimaru ran down the hallways. Dam those two. Getting the wrong idea.
Earlier on
Kimaru enters Aoki's room and finds the painting on her desk.
"Ah, there it is"Kimaru said.
"Aoki, are–"a voice paused. Kimaru turns around and finds Ruka and Naomi.
"Ruka? Naomi why are you here?"Kimaru said.
"We should be asking you that question. Right Nao"Ruka said.
"Yeah, so Aru-kun what were you and Aoki doing here?"Naomi said noticing the how untidy Aoki's bedsheets were.
"Your blushing"Naomi said.
"Im not"Kimaru lied, he was blushing a lot.
"Oh my don't tell me you, with my bestfriend "Ruka said.
"No"Kimaru said.
"Then explain this?"Naomi said. Kimaru told them and once he finshed his story. They didn't change the expression's on there faces.
"So you accidently kissed Aoki"Ruka said. Kimaru nodded.
"and were supose to believe you didn't take advantage of the situation"Ruka said. Again Kimaru nodded.
"Well that's hard to believe, we heard some moaning here this morning. Right Nao?"Ruka said.
"Yeah and those moaning sounds could only mean one thing"Naomi said.
"Your just making that up"Kimaru snapped.
"No need to get angry. We know how much Aoki loves you"Naomi said. Aoki? Loves…
"I can't believe she does though, she could do so much better"Ruka said. Akane comes in the room.
"Kimaru-sama, your being sent on a mission with Aoki-sama, Sakura-sama and Tamaki-sama"Akane said.
"Um ok"Kimaru said. The other two pulled faces. Kimaru glared at her and left the room.
Now
Kimaru was running as fast as he could to the meeting place. Was Ruka and Naomi really telling him the truth?Did Aoki really feel the same way about him the way he did her… He stopped when he finally got there, he saw Tamaki-sama leaning against the railling, Sakura fiddling with her hair. Aoki was staring at the sky.
"YO"Kimaru said. They stop what they were doing.
"You finally came"Tamaki said. He nodded as they got ready to open the gate.
"Hi Aoki"Kimaru said as they entered the gate.
"Hi"Aoki mummbled. Once they got there to the world of the living. Aoki wasn't speaking to Kimaru still and he was wondering why. Did I do something to upset her I wonder? No sooner had they arrived a large group of hollows surronded them.
"My we already have a fan club?"Tamaki joked.
"Hmph, gues we have no choice"Sakura said.
"Emerge and shine within your thousand elements Hatsue Arato"Aoki said killing all of them in sight.
"Aoki… You.."Kimaru said.
"Lets do this together Kimaru"Aoki said.
"Thats right"Kimaru said.
From a distance a boy around there age, stood there watching them. A small yet evil smile appears on his face.
"So that's, my target huh"the boy said looking down at them. To think I have to kill such a beautiful girl, hmph I might be able to force her to submit if I kill her friends.
"Hatsue"Aoki said, once more a beautiful water dragon appears. Amazing. She really is amazing. A hand places on his shoulder and he turns around to see Tamaki.
"Tamaki"Kimaru said.
"Seems like you love her, do you not?"Tamaki said.
"Yeah, I do"Kimaru said. Aoki finshes of the last of the monsters.
"This was far too easy"Aoki said. Kimaru nodded in agreeement.
"Shouldnt the shinigami come and deal with this instead?"Kimaru said.
"No, Sakura checked with Kizuki they couldn't get any one here. So they decided to send us"Tamaki said. Kimaru froze, shinigami I wonder if he's become one yet. He had enough reiatsu.
"Anyhow, we should get going the enemy has probably figured out our location now"Sakura said.
"Hai"Aoki said following then.
Night falls
A girl with long brown curly hair, ocean blue eyes stares outside the window. A large cloud appears in the sky. The rain patted on the grounds and everyone rushed to take shelter. Aoki…. She isn't back yet. I wonder if she's okay.
"Something wrong Ruka?"her brother asked.
"Its nothing…."Ruka said. Her brother stands up and puts the book he was Reading down on the table.
"Now Ruka, I'm your brother I can tell that something is bothering you"he said.
"Aoki, I… she isn't back. I'm worried"Ruka said. She felt her brothers arms wrap around her into a hug.
"She's going to be okay Ruka"Riku said.
"But…. This time 3 years ago. Why did it have to be this night? All 4 of them is going in a mission… Why does it seem to familar to me"Ruka said.
"Ruka, it's not going to happen again"Riku assured her.
"Aoki, she almost died last time. I can't let this go she's going to get hurt"Ruka screamed.
"Sakura is there, so is Tamaki. Also Kimaru loves Aoki he won't let anyone hurt her"Riku said.
"I know. I still have to see her. Sorry"Ruka said, before he could even react , there was a large thud on the ground and he fell.
"Gomen, I have something to do"Ruka said.
"Ruka"a voice said. Ruka looks up to see Kuroka.
"Kuroka…"Ruka said. She walks over to her brother and strokes his face.
"Your going to tell right?"Ruka said.
"No I'm not, you have something you have to do right?"Kuroka said. Ruka nodded.
"Then you best get going"Kuroka said.
"But, everyone might"Ruka said.
"Dont worry me and Sekira will make sure know one notices your gone"Kuroka said. Sekira? It's not like I don't trust theeese two but…
"Get going Ruka-sama"Kuroka said.
"Right"Ruka said dashing out the door and leaving the building. I'm sorry brother but there's just something about tonight that doest feel right.
"She left?"a familar voice said.
"Yes, she did"Kuroka said placing Riku on the couch.
"Do you think he's going to?"Kuroka said.
"Ofcourse, he said he was going to tonight"Sekira said. Kuroka nodded.
"Is this the right thing to do? I know if she dies you can be the heir to the throne but…"Kuroka said.
"Dont have any doubts now. We know what were doing and besides don't you want Ruka's position?"Sekira said a evil smile in her face.
"Your right"Kuroka said.
Sekira leaves Ruka's room and head down the hallways. As she went past she saw a girl with long curly blonde hair.
"Yori…"Sekira said.
"Did — you hear"Sekira said. Yori nodded and Sekira was drawing her sword out.
"Even if what your doing is against Aoki-sama I won't say"Yori said.
"Why?"Sekira said.
"Well whatever you do it's surely going to end. Just rember who Aoki-sama is, she posses potential she's said to surpass your mother, you know that"Yori said.
"I will surpass Aoki! It's always been about her. I'm sick of it"Sekira shouted.
"Whatever, I will keep it a secret for now. But you know your time will end Sekira"Yori said and with that the blonde girl left me. Could she be right?
