Whoa, already second chapter xD
Well, I guess I don't have stuff to do at 3 AM /.
I'm really trying not to stretch it out, but it's just a way I'm writing... Again sorry for my bad English, since is not my homeland language. Hope you enjoy, and if you have some kind of criticism I accept them. Always good to know what others think :)
Oh and little note
Stuff in italic is something she remembers, or someone thoughts. - marks things in present and '' marks sentences in past or memories.
Why did she lie?
Hikari was not person of pride, but letting others to know that she can't release her sword for 40 years, would hit her stronger than any fist she ever received.
Thought that made her more relieved was that she's in 11th Division. Shinigami there... they never cared. They asked her lots of stuff, but never ''What's your swords name?''.
Fight was major thing there. It's not like she minds it. As soon as they are not touching her where they shouldn't, she'll be fine.
The 11th Division quarters were closer now, and Hikari stopped running. She turned around, and looked in direction where Academy is, which was on the other side of Seiretei.
Not bad... improvement from regular walking speed, but still not close to a shunpo speed. Little bit more, little bit more...
Every moment she could get for herself, she used for a sort of training. Putting more pressure on her muscles makes her happy. So, training was sort of her anti-depressive.
As she entered her division head quarters, she felt like entering her own shrine of memories
It felt like time stopped - nothing has changed. Walls, wooden structure of roofs, stone sidewalk, and people... it's same.
Her first time coming here, and all awkward looks that men there had... stayed in her mind priceless.
How did I got myself here? Was the only thing she could think at moment
A first introduction to a Captain, Vice-Captain, and seated officers... She couldn't stop wondering, how many personalities are functioning together: From tall, and scary looking captain and little pink haired girl on his shoulder, to 3th seat Ikkaku and 5th seat Yumichika...
They're so different from each other, not only by a look, but by a character itself, yet they functioning great...
Maybe... this place isn't that bad...
So as a newcomer there, she had to face lots of things
''This ain't Academy, now you're on your own! I don't like weak people. If someone is bullying you, don't come forth me! Except you really want to try out my skills.''
That was one of the rules that got engraved in her mind. She was not a coward. But just other day, she could felt what her Captain really meant. Older shinigami went on rookie-hunt to threat them to do various stuff for them. Of course not all of them, but mostly those who wanted to show-off as a elder, respective shinigami.
''Oy boy, what's your name?'' - said one really rough lookin guy. On his face were lots of scars, probably from battles. His eyes were narrowed, and one eyebrow was missing. His nostrils were so big that someone could think that he was searching for gold in them.
Hair was short on one side of a head, while on other side, was no hair at all.
He and the other guy, whoever he was, were following her from some distance, but not like she was not aware of them.
''Oy boy, I asked you a something.'' Next moment, he was now in front of her.
''I'm not a boy, sir.'' Hikari answered quickly, but harsh.
''You stupid fuck, there are NO girls here, so that statement is invalid here.'' The guy didn't gave up.
''Really? Thank you for telling me that. Now I'm wiser for one thing now.'' She said, adding a sarcastic tone, and putting a fake smile on.
''I'll ask once more, boy. What's your name?'' - He reached with his hand to grab her for uniform, but she stopped him by grabbing his hand.
''It's Hikari sir. As you see, very girlish name.'' She gripped his hand even more, and he started to look rather in pain, than to look cool.
''You fuck, are you putting up for a fight!?''
''If you don't mind, I'll leave now. And please don't bother coming after me. I'm not in a mood for any kind of fight, even if it's a verbal'' She left her grip, and man was finally free from her squeeze.
''You faggot, I'll get you for this!'' - Man screamed, but she didn't turned around.
And that didn't stop them. There were others which always asked for something, whether was that to clean a hall of her quarters, or doing a laundry. In laundry she could see almost everything. Once she found white stains on one of the uniforms she received from two roommates which really acted oddly around each other.
''Dude... maybe they didn't, but, dudeeeee...'' Next time she wrote them a note with attention that they should be cautious with their shlongs and where are they waving them. They had luck that was her who noticed, otherwise... others would lynched them. Hikari was not a person who would go around and gossip about people intimacy.
Little by little, she got to know people around there. She actually managed to made up few
-Hikari-
friends, and that was mostly when she went on drinking spree around bars.
-Hikari...-
Maaan, that was a timeee..
-HIKARI!-
Someone slams her in the head with palm. It was like rough woke up after a pleasant dream.
-...the fuck?! Why did you hit me, you...-
After turning around, there was no one else than Ikkaku.
-Where were you, in the land of flying teddy-bears!?-
Hikari still scratched her head where Ikkaku slammed her.
-I was not...maybe?- She was even worsser than her usual.
-Ugh, you maniac... I'll train with you today, got that?- He sounded rather like commander.
-What?! And what's with 5th seat?-
-Triming his eyebrows.-
You tell him...-Vice-Captain?-
-As usuall, high on candy.-
Lucky girl...-Captain?-
-My life is in interest here, woman.-
LIKE MINE ISN'T!! -Then, what about other--
-YOU were the only one in SIGHT! So I WILL train with YOU! Got it?- He turned his head around, and back.
-Who losses, treats at the bar.-
-Deal!-
-Then, follow me this way- Ikkaku shunpoed away, and so Hikari after him.
Maaan, I'm so easy to hook on...
