"Talking"

Thoughts/Emphasis/Kidō

'Zanpakutō talking'

'Talking to Zanpakutō'

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Hitsugaya Kayuki groaned. She could hear light footsteps and whispering. Where was she? Kayuki's eyes flickered open. For a few seconds, she just lay there, too tired to move or do anything.

"I see you are finally awake."

Kayuki shot up. She recognized that voice.

"Now, now," The soothing voice of Unohana Retsu – Captain of the Fourth Division – said, "be careful. You just awoke."

Kayuki looked at Unohana-taichou. She looked the same as always; she was a very slender and youthful-looking woman, with blue eyes, and black hair, which was long and always worn as a braid in front.

"Is Yukito-kun alright, Unohana-taichou?" Kayuki asked. All her anger at Yukito was forgotten. She just hoped he wasn't hurt.

"I am afraid there is no one here by the name of Yukito." Unohana-taichou told Kayuki gently, eyeing her with suspicion. "You were the only one."

Kayuki's eyes widened, but she quickly composed herself. She couldn't appear weak.

"I was the only one." Kayuki said. It wasn't a question.

Unohana-taichou nodded her head softly. "Yes you were." She confirmed.

What's going on...? Kayuki wondered, furrowing her brow, Where is Yukito-kun...? And how come Unohana-taichou doesn't seem to recognize me...?

"You have an hour to rest up." Unohana-taichou spoke, drawing Kayuki back from her thoughts. "Then I am to take you to see Head-Captain Yamamoto."

Kayuki simply nodded her head.

"I shall leave you then." Unohana-taichou said, which Kayuki knew wasn't true. The whole room was probably being guarded. They didn't know who she was. She was a Ryoka in their eyes.

Unohana-taichou headed towards the door and excited, leaving Kayuki alone with her thoughts.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

The hour passed by much faster than Kayuki would have liked.

Unohana-taichou came to collect Kayuki, her expression calm, as always.

Kayuki rose to her feet and followed Unohana-taichou silently, knowing it was useless to complain or attempt to run.

The pair walked in complete and utter silence, never glancing at one another. Kayuki also noticed that Unohana-taichou never even bother to ask her name. Kayuki knew what that meant. Unohana-taichou simply believed it to be pointless. Kayuki, after all, would be thrown out of the Seireitei...

They arrived at Head-Captain Yamamoto's office in no time.

Unohana-taichou knocked softly.

"Enter."

Unohana-taichou opened the big, double doors to the office and entered, followed by Kayuki. "I have brought the girl, Head-Captain Yamamoto."

Head-Captain Yamamoto was sitting at a large mahogany desk, which overlooked his incredibly, large office. Kayuki had only seen it once or twice when she'd come along with her parents.

"Good. You may leave, Unohana-taichou."

Unohana-taichou bowed politely and excited to the office, closing the doors.

Kayuki stood there, attempting to keep her expression impassive. She couldn't be afraid.

Head-Captain Yamamoto was an old man. He had red eyes, Kayuki noted, with a very long white beard, and long eyebrows. He had many scars on his head, but his most prominent ones were a pair of long, perpendicular scars about his right eye. Kayuki knew Head-Captain was a powerful Shinigami and had been in many battles.

Silence filled the air. Head-Captain Yamamoto didn't say anything. He just sat in large chair, his knowledgeable red eyes locked on Kayuki, observing her.

He didn't know who she was. Kayuki could tell.

Head-Captain Yamamoto rose to his feet, walking around his desk, taking his staff with him.

"You are a Shinigami." He stated. "Where is your Zanpakutō?"

Kayuki lifted her necklace out from underneath her Shihakushō. She held it up for the Head-Captain to see.

"A daisho sword pair," Head-Captain said.

"No." Kayuki correct immediately. "My Zanpakutō are twins. They work together, but are not a daisho sword pair. They are separate, almost like they are two different Zanpakutō."

"Interesting..." Yamamoto mused. He then became silent.

Finally, after another few minutes of silence, Yamamoto walked over to Kayuki. He circled the small girl, looking her up and down. Yamamoto then stopped in front of Kayuki, looking down at her. "You have a daffodil stitched into the back of your kimono in dark green. That is the insignia and colour of the Tenth Division." He said. "Tell me girl, what is your name?"

Kayuki told the truth. "Hitsugaya Kayuki."

No one ever lied to Head-Captain Yamamoto, not unless you didn't value your life.

"Hitsugaya, you say. What, little girl, is your relationship to Hitsugaya Tōshirō?"

Kayuki bit back a cheeky response. She didn't like being addressed as little girl. Kayuki knew she was short, but that didn't mean everyone had to point it out.

"Family," Was all Kayuki told Yamamoto. It wasn't a lie.

Yamamoto narrowed his eyes. Kayuki gulped. She shouldn't have answered the question like that.

"You have unusual white hair and turquoise eyes." Yamamoto spoke again.

Kayuki said nothing.

"You are Hitsugaya Tōshirō's' daughter." He said. It was not a question, it was a statement.

Kayuki nodded her head. "Yes."

"You are from the future, correct."

"Yes." Kayuki said. There was no point in lying.

Yamamoto went on, "State your Seat and Division."

"Third Seat of the Tenth Division," Kayuki answered immediately.

"The Third Seat of the Tenth Division was recently vacated." Yamamoto said. "You are now the Third Seat of the Tenth Division, Hitsugaya Kayuki."

"But my –"

"My decision in finale," Yamamoto cut in. "You will pose as my granddaughter and bide your time until a way to return to your time is discovered. Your father will not discover your true identity."

Kayuki wanted to argue but she held back. She couldn't disobey Head-Captain Yamamoto.

"Starting tomorrow you are to report to Hitsugaya-taichou." Yamamoto said.

Kayuki nodded her head.

"You may remain in the Fourth Division barracks for tonight."

"Yes, Head-Captain,"

Yamamoto banged his staff on the ground, the sound echoing around the office. "You are dismissed."

Kayuki bowed politely and silently left the office. She hurried down the hall, returning to the Fourth Division barracks...

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

So... That's the end of the second chapter.

I just wanted to put Kayuki into the Tenth Division for some drama. And because she's short, that way Matsumoto can tease her and Hitsugaya.

That's it really...
