It was a cold winter morning. The air was fresh and crisp, light snow blanketed the dirt ground. Kids were out with their families building miniature snowmen; a cold gust of wind swept through Sereitei. All parents out felt the atmosphere changed like something bad had happened. The kids noticed nothing. Troubled parents at unease ushered their kids to go back inside where it was nice, safe and warm. The kids were disappointed but they listened to their parents and stayed inside.
"Hey Father!" six year-old Toushiro called out, standing beside his mother. He was hugging his mother's leg. Toushiro looked up to see his mother's face; lips trembling, eyes flooding tears.
"What's wrong with Father? Why is he lying on the ground?" asked an unaware Toushiro. His mother's face was pale; gulping as if she was trying to hold down her emotions. She looked at Toushiro with a weak smile.
"Nothing is wrong with Father. Let's go inside, Shiro-sweetie." His mother grabbed his hand and rushed him away from the scene. Toushiro was still confused why father was face down on the ground. Toushiro let go of his mother's hand and dashed on his stubby legs to his father's side.
"Toushiro! Get back here!" His mother triedto grab him back but she only made contact with his sleeve. Toushiro made a sprint to his father, shaking him but he remained still. Henoticed a patch of red on the snow underneath his still father. The red spread just like water, traveling closer to the young boy every second.
Toushiro was scared. What was the red substance? He looked over to his mother. She stood like a statue, her sad expression frozen. Everything about her was motionless except for the gust of wind blowing strands of her white, sleek hair. A single tear glided down her face.
The yellow sun did not greet me this morning. Instead it is dark and gloomy, immediately dampening my mood. I wake up as usual -a bit later than yesterday- but that didn't matter. I didn't really have anything on.
I glide my way down the grand staircase once again and reach the breakfast table. This time it's fruit. I gaze at the brightly coloured fruit resting neatly in their bowls, wondering which I should eat first. My eye lands on the blood-red apple that seems to shout "Eat me." I grab it, sinking my teeth into the fruit.
Looking around the table, I see my beautiful fiancée Karin and my mother having oranges. Karin catches my glance and flashes me a smile. I grin, brightening my mood just a tad; she is prettiest when she smiles. I continue eating my apple as I listen to my mother and Karin talking about wedding plans. I don't usually take part in wedding talk, because when it came to weddings, I would have no clue on how to organise one or even make it look good. I leave it to the girls.
I look out the window. The radiant sun has risen up and the white fluffy clouds move across the blue sky. I smile; it seems like the weather had decided to become sunny. I get up from my chair, excusing myself from the two people I care most about. They take no notice since they're too engrossed in their wedding talk. I let out a quiet chuckle and left the dining room.
~3:00pm~
I tap my foot impatiently as I waited for my new student to come. She was late; everyone knows I'm a very punctual person. I let out a sigh; first time being a sensei and my only student was late. Where is that girl? I think.
Speak of the devil. She dashes through the dirt path where I was impatiently waiting. She stops just a few steps in front of me, panting as if she had run the whole way. I'm annoyed.
"Where have you been?" I say, irritated. She takes a few gasps before answering me.
"I was running some errands."
"That's not good enough Hinamori-san." I respond coldly. She stops panting and looks up to me with her brown eyes.
"Aww. Dang Toushiro, I thought that would fool you." she says as if we've been friends for years. One of her eyes is closed and an arm rubbed the back of her head.
"Please do not call me by my first name, Hinamori-san. I have only come to be your sensei and teach you sword skills." I say, a little shocked that someone had called me by my first name.
Shocked because this girl is almost a total stranger.
"Yeah, yeah Icicle-prince. Now teach me." I swear a vein popped in my head but I try to ignore the annoying nickname given by the female stranger, focusing on being her teacher. I grit my teeth.
"What do you know?"
"Just the basics; Kenpachi-Sensei taught me most of them." she replies nonchalantly. "Can we just spar?"
I debate the question, since Kenpachi didn't even let me even near the weapon till he thought I was ready. Plus I don't know what her skills are.
"Okay we'll spar just to see what skills you have already."
She grins. "Great."
Because Kenpachi had locked the house we couldn't go in and get the protective gear. I will have to go easy on her. I throw her a wooden sword which she catches it with ease.
"Okay. Are you ready?" I ask while I get into the attacking position for kendo. She gives a nod.
"Prepare yourself." I yell, sprinting at a dangerous speed towards her. As I race towards her, she stands motionless with her eyes closed. I'm confused in what she's doing but I continue my run towards her at full speed. All of a sudden she opens her eyes. Her eyes are dark and hard unlike her bubbly personality minutes ago. I'm not ready for what happens next. My sword makes a large clash with Hinamori's sword. Expected. What I didn't expect is how strong this petite girl is. I am forced to let out a grunt which makes her smirk. Now she knows I was struggling to hold off her defence.
She starts to build the pressure on her sword against mine. I knew I had to forget about going easy because Hinamori is almost on par with me. Did Kenpachi say she was a beginner?! I begin to use more force and it now seems the tables have turned. She lets out a grunt of frustration as she tries to withstand my pressure. I let a smirk. It's time to end this.
I attempt to push her sword off mine with my leftover strength. Her footing stumbles and I take my chance, swinging the sword to her side. It makes contact and the power of the sword and my strength manage to knock her down on the grass. The sword is released from her hands and she lands on the ground with a thud.
I let out a sigh. Kenpachi has had me face girls before, teaching me that whether the enemy was a man or woman didn't matter; you would fight that person as an enemy no matter what. So I didn't feel guilty about knocking her down. I crouch down and extend my hand to her.
"You're pretty good at this." Hinamori opens her eyes and looks into my teal ones. She gives me a weak smile and takes my offer.
"Thanks."
I pull her up and hear her let out a wince. It was barely audible but I heard it. I realise that I have used too much force, she was like glass.
"Did I really hurt you that much?" I ask, full of guilt. She gives me a small smile.
"It's okay. I asked to spar and it helps."
"Helps?" I ask, curiously.
"Ah. Well, it prepares me."
"Prepares you… for what?"
"Just some stuff."
"Oh, okay." We start walking around to the back of the wooden shack to put away the swords.
"You know, I can take care of things here. You go back to the castle, Toushiro," Hinamori says cheerfully, a bit perkier than before.
"Um okay, if you insist." And I start going back on dirt track leading its way back to the castle.
"See ya, icicle-prince." I hear Hinamori say. I don't say anything back because I honestly couldn't be bothered. There was one thing on my mind though. What did it mean when Hinamori said it prepares her? What was she preparing for?
Hinamori made me feel something that I hadn't felt in 12 years. Intrigued.
