Chapter Two: Disappear! The Memories Return!
"How long did you think you'd be able to stay up here without anyone coming?" Yuki asked the boy sitting on her roof. She walked over to him as he glared at her, "I'm not here to fight, I've already sent off the two vice captains." She sat down, his eyes never leaving her, "And I figured you would have left too after hearing what I told them since you were there too."
"I know..." He said looking at her, no emotions on his face.
"Shouldn't you be in like elementry school not high school?" She asked him, causing him to finally show emotion of annoyance.
"Finally he shows emotion." She said with a small laugh.
"I'll have you know, I'm taller than you." He said cause her to glare at him.
"Yeah, by an inch!" She said not lifting her glare. He smirked, "What's so funny." She demanded.
"Toshiro..." Yuki opened her eyes, she was staring at her blank wall. "Hitsugaya Toshiro..."
"YUKI-SAN!" Her bedroom door was opened and Genkei ran in.
"What did you call me!??" She asked sitting up and looking over to him. No one was there, and she realized she was just imagining things. She looked over to her clock that flashes 3:24am at her. She could hear the rain hitting outside as she pulled her covers back and stood from her bed. She walked over to her closet and pulled out some black skinny jeans, and a red shirt that had five gold stars on the back and had the number five below it. She pulled on one of her black coats and scarfs and as she reached the front door, she slipped on her boots and left the house.
She walked down to the park and sat on the bench. She smiled to herself, recognizing the reiatsu. When she reached the park she saw Hitsugaya sitting on one of the benches. He looked over and she gave him a small smile. In return she got a smirk from him before he turned forward again looking at the playground where kids played and their parents or grandparents watched over them.
"What are you doing here?" Yuki asked sitting on the bench he was sitting on.
"I came here to think." He told her, "And you?"
"Same." She said, "So tell me, my little white haired captain, what is on your mind?"
"Don't call me little, white, or captain. I'm not your captain, and you have no reason to call me that." He said to her.
"Okay, so Toshiro, what are you thinking about?" She asked him as he uncrossed his arms and turned to face her more. "What? Don't want me to call you Toshiro either now?" She laughed a bit as he raised an eyebrow at her.
"Toshiro is fine." He said. "What about you? Yuki, Shiraha? what do you want to be called?"
"Yuki-dono!" She said smirking at him.
"How about not." He said with a smirk.
"Toshiro..." She said remembering more.
"You seem to be remembering more..." She jumped, startled by the voice.
"Kisuke-san..." She said recognizing the man. "What do you mean?"
"Toshiro? Do you even remember him?" He asked her.
"Sort of... I saw him today and heard his voice..." She said, "And I remember meeting him here at this bench and we talked... I tried to get him to call me Yuki-dono but he said how about not." She laughed, "Was I close to Toshiro?"
"You can say that you were in the time the two of you knew eachother." Kisuke told her.
"How long did I know him?"
"Only a week."
"Why so short?" She asked him, her eyes curious to know.
Kisuke sat down next to her. "The name Shiraha Yuki was imfamous from Squad 14 of the shinigami community three houndred years ago..."
"But I'm only sixteen, Kisuke-san."
"You've only been living for three years as a mortal human." He explained to her. "When you were a shinigami, you were a vice captain, and you were very strict, you didn't believe in love, and all you wanted to do was go out and defeat hollows, and menos."
"What are those?"
"A hollow is what attacked at the house you stay at last night..." He told her, "A menos is a tenfold stronger, and are harder to defeat."
"Oh..." She said.
"You were so strong, you could defeat a menos with one hit..."
"Really?"
"Yes. Everyone looked up to you, and you never let anyone down..." he told her, "But then...something happened..."
"What happened?"
"You were sent on a mission... your whole squad was... and nearly everyone died..."
"I let them die?" She asked him, scared.
"No, it wasn't your fault, Yuki." He told her, placing a hand on her shoulder. "It was overrun, and there was nothing you could have done."
"So what happened?"
"You, and four of your teammates that survived were exiled." He told her, "And then they thought you died years later... but then... three years ago, they came after you again... and that's how you met Toshiro..."
"Why didn't he tell me that then?" Yuki asked him, "I asked him if I knew him, and he told me that he didn't."
"You're not suppose to remember is why..." The two looked up and behind the bench stood Toshiro, his arms crossed.
"Aren't you cold?" She asked him as he wore a pair of faded jeans, and a black colared shirt.
"No." He said turning and facing them.
"Well, I must be going. Toshiro-kun, don't stay out to late!" Kisuke said getting up and leaving quickly, Toshiro cursed to himself.
"It's Hitsugaya-taicho to you!" He yelled after Kisuke who was down the street all ready.
"Toshiro..." Yuki said getting his attention. He turned back and his expression soften from his shouting glare to Kisuke. "Why am I not suppose to remember you or anything?"
"You didn't want to." He told her, "You said I don't want to know, or remember anything about Soul Society, Hollows, shinigamis, anything. So if I don't remember that, then that is perfectly fine with me." he told her, "And so when you became a mortal human, your memory was wipped and that's what you wanted." Toshiro stood there, his hand on his cheek where she had left a kiss. He remembered the last contact they really had, and he unknowingly raised his hand to his cheek.
"If I'm not suppose to remember, then why do I keep remembering all these things that happened, and now I can see shinigamis, hollows, and spirits... it wasn't like this before." She told him, desperate for it to stop. "How do I get it to stop?"
"You can't." He told her. "Unless you become a shinigami again. But then you'll remember everything."
She stood up and started to walk away. "Hey- where are you going?!" Toshiro asked jumping over the bench and running to catch up with her.
"home. Maybe if I ignore it all, it'll go away." She said and he stopped in his tracts. She stopped a few feet ahead of him. "What's wrong Toshiro?"
"Nothing." He said. "I... bye." He said quickly before turning and walking the other way to Kisuke's house.
She wanted to forget, and he knew that. But it still hurt him, and he didn't understand why. She hadn't remembered him the last three years, so why all of sudden she does, and why all of a sudden does he care? He's a cold hearted captain....She was a vice captain, but she didn't want that. She wanted to be normal, no hollows, nothing. She knew that it wasn't possible, but she always dreamed for it.
She realized what she said and turned around, "Toshi...ro..." he wasn't there anymore, or anywhere in sight. She sighed and turned, ready to go home.
A couple of days later, she attended school and her friends surrounded her, talking about what they were planning for the weekend. "I heard from my brother that heard from Kurosaki Karin, that you came to their house crying about something... Is everything all right, Shiraha-kun?" One of the girls asked her.
"Oh yeah..." Yuki lied.
"Is that why you haven't been here all week, Yuki-kun?" Another girl asked her.
"We had a death at home, and so, we had to deal with that."
"It wasn't Genkei-san was it?!" The three girls asked, scared that the older man had died.
"No- it was Yatsushiro." She told them and they all hugged her.
"He was so young!"
"Thirteen." Yuki told them.
"Awww... what happened?" They asked her.
"Etto... it was a medical condition..." Yuki said thinking quickly. "His heart would race and then, bam! it would suddenly stop for no reason... It happened when he was playing some videogames and we weren't around in the room to save him in time. Kurosaki-san came and tried everything, but Yatsushiro didn't make it."
"I'm so sorry!" They teared.
"Do you know what Kurosaki-san's son's name is?" Yuki asked them suddenly. "I thought that he called him Ichigo, but I thought that was a girls name..."
"Yeah, Kurosaki Ichigo is the only son of Kurosaki family." One of her friends said. She pushed up her glasses, the light reflecting off so that her eyes became hidden as she opened up her notebook and read. "He graduated two years ago, when we were in nineth grade, and he missed a lot of school. He hung out with Kuchiki Rukia, who mysteriously disappeared after graduatation, and Orihime Inoue, who had an older brother that was -"
"How do you know all of this?" Yuki asked her friend. "Seriously, Lala, how do you know it?"
"Research." She smiled innocently. "But, he had a small group that he always hung out with, and he spent a lot of time at Urahara Shop, which isn't to far away from our school."
"Kisuke-san... he knows Kurosaki-san's son?" Yuki thought about it.
"Yeah." Lala told her.
"All right." Yuki said, "Afterschool... I'll take a visit to Kisuke-san."
The bell rang later that day and Yuki grabbed her stuff and headed out of the school quickly, running down the street to her house. "I'm home!" She yelled as she ran up the stairs quickly. She threw her stuff in her room. "I am needing to go to Kisuke-san's shop. I will return later." She said leaving the house again, closing the door behind her.
"She seems like she was in a rush..." Kyomi said to Yohime as they sat at the table in the dining room. "Wait- why aren't you in school?!"
"Still recovering." Yohime grinned.
Yuki ran down the street quickly to Urahara's Shop. "Shiraha-kun!" Someone called as she ran past them.
"Yuki-kun!" Someone else called, but she wanted to hurry to Kisuke-san. She turned a corner quickly, and she spotted his shop down the street.
"There it -" She tripped down over something and rolled down the street a couple of feet below rolling into lightpost. "Oww...." She said as she picked herself up. "What was that..." She looked over to see a body laying on the ground. "Oh- My- GOD!" She yelled. She looked around before crawling over to the guy. "Hey! Are you all right?!" She asked him, shaking him. "He's dead!" She said. "Kisuke-san will know how to do this..." She picked the guy up over her head and ran down the street quickly to Kisuke's shop.
"Woah! Why do you have a dead guy on your back?" Jinta asked poking the guy with a broom.
"Don't poke him! He's dead!" She said swatting at Jinta. "Where's Kisuke-san?"
"He's in the back." He told her. She nodded and dragged the guy inside. "Make sure you don't get any blood on the carpets!"
She set the guy down in the sitting area and looked around. "Kisuke-san!" She called looking around. "Kisuke-san!?"
"Yuki- what are you doing here?" He asked sounding surprised.
"I found a dead guy on the street..." She said pointing to the guy. "Can you do your magic and help him?"
"Uhm..." He walked over and exaimed the guy. He let out a sigh, "Looks like they just leave their gigais everywhere..." She looked at him confused. "Don't worry, he'll be fine. I'll just take him to another room." Kisuke said picking the guy up and taking him to the other room he stopped and turned to Yuki, "Now that that is done, you should head home now!"
"No! I have more I need to ask you." She said standing up quickly. "Kurosaki Ichigo... I know you know him." She said.
"What did he do now?" He asked as she followed him down the hall to one of the rooms.
"He has a lot of spiritual power! I can feel it from him!" She said and Kisuke looked at her oddly. "Last night... I talked to Toshiro, and he told me about how I use to be a vice captain of some type of squad in a place called Soul Society. I have been able to sense these... spirits... and I can now even see them, and these...shinigamis... I can see them too... I can sense their... spiritual power... reiatsu is what it's called if I remember correctly, and Kurosaki Ichigo has a lot of it... just like you do."
Kisuke set the body in a room. "Come with me."
