Hello! You know, I didn't actually think I'd be able to find a way to actually put myself in front of the computer and updated this, considering the fact that I am totally busy! But, just to know if this fanfic is a success or not, I pushed myself to at least try to update!

Chapter 2

Hitsugaya was concentrating on his paperwork, but this was proven hard to do if his lieutenant keeps bickering about their new member. "Matsumoto, Will you just calm down? Soutaichou said our job is merely to observe her…and what you're doing is more to stalking"

It has been two days since that girl was sent to the 10th division, and during that time Matsumoto has been constantly spying on her. She's using binoculars from the office window and following her every move, "But, Taichou! Do you know how creepy she is?"

"Not as creepy as you"

"Not true! She's way creepier!" Hitsugaya looked up from his paperwork, "She doesn't do anything all day! Usually she just sits in her room and looking at the wall with an empty look or she'll just draw some scribbles on paper and read books, she doesn't even come out to eat! I asked her about herself once, but she doesn't even answer me when I asked her what her name was! How rude is that?"

"She must've gotten used to being locked up in that dungeon" Hitsugaya placed down his brush and stood from his desk. He walked pass Matsumoto and stopped at the door before glancing back, "Well? Are you coming or not?"

Matsumoto jumped from the sofa before throwing the binoculars back to the table, completely ignoring the loud crash. "Coming!"

-In Nakamura's Room-

The girl was leaning against the wall while looking down to the book in her hand. She looked up when she felt two familiar reiatsu approaching her room. She stared at her door for a bit before closing her book and placing it back on her table. She stood up and began walking towards the door.

She hesitated for a bit before taking hold of the door's frame and sliding it open. What she wasn't really expecting was to have a woman falling as she was leaning to her door, and out of reflex she moved out of the way just in time to allow the woman to fall face first to the floor.

"Ouwie!" Matsumoto wince in pain as she rubbed her nose. She looked up and met an unfazed gaze of the said girl. She didn't say anything; she merely offered her hand which Matsumoto gladly accept. She stood up and rubbed her back before looking back at the girl, "…You don't have any comments of this?"

The girl furrowed her eyebrows before shaking her head. Matsumoto turned and pulled her captain into the room before pointing towards the girl, "See!"

Hitsugaya look back towards the girl, who merely shrugged in reply. Hitsugaya look back at Matsumoto, "Matsumoto you should go back to the office before you cause any more damage here"

"Me? Causing Damage? Taichou, how could you-"

"You can go drinking of you want"

"See you later, Taichou!" The strawberry blonde wasted no time to wait for her captain to change his mind before sprinting towards a random direction, as to where she would somehow find an empty bar for her to drink in along with her buddies.

The small room was suddenly filled with an incredibly uncomfortable silence, in Hitsugaya's case anyway. "So…" Hitsugaya was finding it quite difficult to talk to this girl, especially the fact that she was looking straight at him. He raised his eyebrows slightly, "…what happened to your arm?" He said while pointing towards the girl's left arm.

Hitsugaya stepped closer and took her left hand; her arm was completely bleeding. He narrowed his eyes before looking back at her, "Doesn't it hurt?" She shook her head lightly. He had a thought in his head, and without realizing it he ended up speaking it out loud for the girl to hear, "Do you ever talk?" He widened his eyes.

He was about to apologize when the girl answered, "I don't find it necessary to talk to people that I barely know"

'Well she's a cold one'

"And just so you know, it's a normal for my old wounds to keep reopening" She said before taking her hand back from him.

"You're saying that as if it's a daily basis" She looked back at me with a dumbfounded look. "You're not very fond of people, are you?"

"I can clearly see why they call you a child prodigy" She looked away from me and sits back beside her table. I sighed before deciding to join her. I caught a glimpse of her across the table, and she didn't seem to mind that I was there.

"Why have your lieutenant been spying on me? I can't even read my book without her constantly looking through your office window with those binoculars, that I don't even want to know where she got from; it annoys me to no end"

"...How did you know she was spying on you?" This girl certainly is sharp, I had to admit that.

She turned her gaze back to the open book on her lap again and completely ignoring my question. I sighed in annoyance; she was going to be a very hard one to get used to. I gazed around her room, it was quite empty and plane. I was just glad to know that she's not the type to create a mess. Her room was like any others, and since she's been living in a dungeon she doesn't exactly have any belongings.

I looked back towards the girl herself before narrowing my eyes. Nakamura Keiko. Her name was already erased from history, but the elders would still be able to recall her crimes. She was known throughout Rukongai for various murders and crimes, and none of their efforts was enough to bring her in. Even though she was known very well for her crimes, no one actually knew her past or why she became what she is. It's hard to believe that she was now at the mercy of seireitei and its rules, after all those times that she always managed to find a way out of any situation.

"Nakamura-san" She didn't look up from her book, but I knew she heard me. "Would you mind coming with me for a second?" I managed to get a glimpse of her looking towards me before back to her book.

"Where?"

-Half an Hour Later-

"Do I need to ask?"

"You haven't been out of your room for two days and you practically spent a century in your cell; you need to get out more"

"Look who's talking" She looked at the window with an uninterested look, "If you wanted to observe me, you could've just done it anytime" I was about to respond when she spoke again, "That also includes you trying to be-friends me"

I closed my mouth, knowing there was no point in arguing with her. I sighed; this girl was impossible to deal with. I brought her out of that room because of how I saw her earlier, it's pretty clear she doesn't like socializing and I intend to change that. I know she just got out of prison but, that's still no excuse for me to not worry for her well-being; not that I care that much. It's just that…

I looked to the side a bit to catch a glimpse of her. She was sitting with her legs crossed above one another and that book by in her hand. Her hair wasn't tied up into a high ponytail, instead it fell to her left shoulder and fell freely the rest of the way. She seemed relaxed in the restaurant's quiet atmosphere, but it couldn't cover up of how pale her skin was. She might have gotten sick; she looked like Ukitake during one of his cold.

"Are you normally that pale?" I asked after admitting that I had to know before I get even more curious.

"Yes" She answered bluntly.

She didn't even look up! My eye twitched in annoyance, she hadn't said a single thing that's actually nice for a change. Everything that came out of her mouth sounded emotionless and cold, well, it sounded like me but hers was a bit worse.

The rest of the night was exactly as it was at that moment, quiet. Even so, I managed to learn a couple obvious things about her:

She hates socializing

She hates people who are cheery and childish

She is extremely observant (I mean really observant, it scares me a bit)

She finds no meaning in friendly conversation

We were both already walking back to the 10th division barracks by the time the sky turned dark. We were walking through the long alleyways of seireitei, I've never noticed how complicated the structure around seireitei was until now. Though I find it quite amazing that even though the last time she walked through these streets was probably a century ago, she seemed to know where she's going.

I looked at her from the corner of my eye. For some odd reason, it was hard not to look at this girl. She was…different. She was quiet, cold, and never shows any emotion as far as I've known her and as far as the elders have told me. But Yamamoto said they never really knew anything about her past, this was what brought up my curiosity.

I was so locked up in my own thought that I didn't see her eyes moved towards me before looking back straight ahead, "What are you thinking about?"

I widened my eyes before looking back straight ahead, "It's nothing"

Our trip was soundless again after that. I didn't have anything important in my mind. I don't get it either but, I can't seem to think straight with this girl near me. She doesn't bother me that much or anything, and to my surprise she's the same height as me. So my height issues don't count in this case.

We parted as she walked back towards her room and I headed back to the office, I knew I had a lot of work to finish before sleep…at least try to finish. I seated myself in my chair before sighing and looking at the pile of paperwork blocking my view, "I wonder if I'll be able to sleep at all tonight"

I turned my chair and looked out the window; I could see a great view of the 10th division. All the lights were off except one in particular. A small window was still open with someone sitting at the edge of the frame; they didn't seem to be unbalanced so it was alright. I narrowed my eyes to get a better look, and end up recognizing the person. "Nakamura? What is she doing?"

She seemed to just be sitting there and looking up at the sky. I stepped forward and narrowed my eyes, only to end up taking a step back in disbelief. My eyes were wide as I recall the short moment that I managed to catch a glimpse of. Was she… "Something tells me she might kill me if she knew I saw that"

-Nakamura's Room-

I couldn't resist the urging wind coming from my open window. I found myself already sitting on its frame and gazing up at the stars. It was a beautiful sight. I missed it, I missed this feeling. I haven't felt this free in such a long time even if, I'm still chained. Those stars looked like small glimpse of light that's starting to be swallowed by the darkness of the night sky but refused to accept it.

I scoffed, "What foolish thoughts"

I ignored the sudden rush of pain surging inside me as my surroundings turned pitch black in my sight. I could hear soft footsteps approaching, but I didn't bother to turn around. The footsteps stopped behind me as a voice spoken, "Yes, they are foolish. But wouldn't you like to dream of having such foolish thoughts as well?" The voice was of a man's voice. It was deep and soft, and I can't remember the last time I've heard it. His steps resound and became closer towards me before I realized it, I could already feel arms wrapped around me. "You'd give anything to be able to dream again, wouldn't you?" His voice was soothing and stern. His warm breath brushed against my neck.

"No" I could practically hear a smirk appear across his face. "If I had a dream, it would probably be of that night"

My sight was soon filled with white petals blowing through before they disappeared out of my sight. The arms wrapped around me tightened before I could hear that voice one last time, "Don't make the same mistake twice, Mistress"

Hmmm... You know, I've been thinking. Does it makes sense that a girl's zanpakuto is a man and a man's zanpakuto is a woman? Is there a rule in that or something? Oh, god! I hope not!

Anyway... Please Review!
