Melting a frozen heart

Chapter 1: Light in the Abyss/ stranger in Seireitei, friend or foe?

[Aiko's point of view]

My eyes glowed a dim blue as I swam around in my lake, I say my lake as I had fought or scared other chains away from it when I first discovered it. The Abyss didn't have many pools of water but those it did have were always filled with water so dark that you would be unable to see what was just below the surface – which is why my eyes glowed, so I could see what was around me. Breaking the surface and looking at my reflection in the dark mirror like water I saw that today was one of the rare days that I was not smiling. For reasons unknown to me I had felt very lonely and sad this morning – although no one could really tell time in the Abyss – I was thinking the cause was that months ago one of my only friends in the abyss had made a contract with a human and escaped – my other friend didn't need a contract as he could travel between the abyss, his own dimension and the human world.

I wonder what Alice and Oz are up to now? I thought as I used my strange energy like fairy wings to lift my self above the water and hover just over the surface. While thinking I brought my knees up to my chin, wrapping my arms around them and resting my head on the top of them. As I stared off into the distance I felt something cold land on the top of my head, confused I lifted my head slightly and saw that it was snowing. How strange, it never snows in the Abyss. I thought before looking around and realising – no it wasn't snowing in the Abyss; it was snowing over my lake. Looking up hoping to see the source of the snow, I saw a circle of light – which was even stranger as I have been using the water of my lake to spy on the human worlds and was sure that snow came from clouds.

I started to slowly fly upwards, feeling a strange pull from the snow making light. When I reached it I had to squint my eyes before they adjusted, once they had I reached a hand out to touch it when I heard something. It sounded like… like someone was fighting and it was coming from the light, looking at the light more closely it started to clear a bit so that I could see what was happening. I looked into a strange room when a person cut across my vision, a boy with white hair and his back to me. He had a sword drawn – the sheath strapped to his back – I couldn't get a good look at his opponent but he was able to knock the boys sword from his hand. Not a moment after the boy's opponent lifts a clawed hand and swings it at him.

[Toshiro's point of view]

I was sitting at my desk doing paper work while Matsumoto was no where to be seen, I sighed and mentally cursed out my Lieutenant for probably getting drunk and skipping work. As I was about to return to my work a hell butterfly fluttered into the office and landed on my out stretched finger and relayed the message to me. Why would Captain Kurotsuchi want all of us to come to division 12 labs? I mentally asked myself as I walked to my door, once out of the office I shunpo-ed over to the twelfth division labs. When I arrived I saw that not only were all the captains here – including Head Captain Yamamoto – but all the Lieutenants as well.

"Good you're all here," Captain Kurotsuchi said walking into the lab we were asked come to.

"What is it that you have found Captain Kurotsuchi?" Head Captain Yamamoto asked stepping forward.

"Head Captain Yamamoto, I have found that there is another world beyond that of Soul Society, the Living world, Hueco Mundo and the underworld." Captain Kurotsuchi said while walking over to a large machine.

"How is that possible?" Captain Soi Fon asked looking at the large machine as Captain Kurotsuchi started to turn it on and causing a circle of light to appear on the floor of the machine. Everyone stepped forward to see if this 'other world' was visible through the light, when something pushed me forward to far and my hand skimmed the outside of the circle.

"Please be careful Captain Hitsugaya, I have yet to know what this would do if any of us touched the light. Be thankful you only skimmed it with your hand," Captain Kurotsuchi said pulling me away from it slightly.

"Do you know what the name of this world yet?" Captain Ukitake asked before coughing slightly in his hand.

"Not yet, but we are working on it." Captain Kurotsuchi said as he reached to turn the machine off but was stopped by an Adjuchas class menos attacking him from behind. Fortunately he was able to dodge, unfortunately more Adjuchas started to appear as well.

"How interesting, I'm sure Lord Aizen would greatly enjoy knowing about this new world. I think we'll be taking this machine back to him," a low level Arrancar said as he walked out from behind the group of Adjuchas. How did they get inside Seireitei? I asked myself before drawing my Zanpaktou along with the rest of the Captains and Lieutenants. After finishing one of the Adjuchas I saw another heading for the still active machine, using shunpo I cut him off and stood between him and the machine. Swinging Hyourimaru I was able to push the Adjuchas back but didn't notice that this one had a tail – I was slightly tired from fighting the other Adjuchas – using its tail it was able to knock Hyourimaru from my hand. Raising its own clawed hand I braced myself as it started to swing its hand back down catching me in the chest and sending me to the floor, making me waver between consciousness and unconsciousness.

"Do you wish to live?" I heard a voice ask, it took me a moment to realise that the voice was female and not one I knew. Pushing myself into a crouched position I saw that the Adjuchas was preparing to attack again.

"Well? Do you wish to continue living? If so all you have to do is make a contract with me," the voice said again. "Final chance will you make a contract with me?"

"Yes!" I shouted as the clawed hand started to swing down towards my throat. Suddenly the Adjuchas stopped moving.

"Wh-what's going on?" it asked seemingly unable to move, looking behind me a saw a girl rise out of the circle of light her eyes glowing different shades of blue.

[Aiko's point of view]

I had been trying to get through the circle of light since I saw the boy fall to the floor but realised that I would be unable to unless I made a contract like Alice did. So I spoke to the boy I wasn't sure if he could hear me but if I could hear what was going on there then he should be able to hear me as well. I asked if wanted to live and if he wanted to make a contract with me, when he shouted his answer the barrier preventing me from moving through the circle vanished and I rose myself up and out of the abyss. The boy's opponent may have been physically strong but his will was weak and so I took control of the water within his body.

"Wh-what's going on?" the strange creature asked – as now I could get a better look at the boy's opponent I decided it was a strange creature. The boy turned towards me and I could see that his eyes were teal/light blue and although shocked to see me his face still held a serious look. Looking back to the strange creature I answered its question.

"Simple, I am controlling you." Looking around I saw the room was filled with people and a few strange creatures like the one I was currently controlling. Flying out of the strange machine I was in, I landed next to my new contractor and by moving my hand as if I was controlling a puppet I made the creature turn and attack the other creatures. Unfortunately my concentration was broken by a strange man attacking me; stopping my control of the creature I gathered the water from the air and formed my bubble shield around myself.

"What and who are you?" the strange man asked as I studied his face to see he had a piece of bone in the shape of twisted and spiked head band on his forehead.

"What I am is none of your business, but I will tell you who I am. I am the Dark water nymph," I said while creating a katana from the water around me and rushing towards him, clashing my sword with his. Unfortunately for me I hadn't used a sword in a long time and was mostly on the defence while he continued to attack me, once getting a good distance I changed my weapon to a whip and started to try and get his sword away from him. As I kept lashing my water whip at him I saw my contractor grab his sword again and – along with the other people in the room – dispatched the strange creatures. Strangely enough my contractor disappeared only to reappear behind my opponent and place his sword through his heart, which made him disintegrate.

What a strange place this is. I thought as I made my whip evaporate back into the air; however a sword was soon placed at my throat by a man with short spiky black hair, black eyes, three scars running from the top of his hair line to the bottom of his cheek on the right side of his face and a tattooed 69 on his left cheek.

"Who are you?" asked an old man coming into my line of vision. "How did you get into the Seireitei?"

"Hmmm, as you are allies of my contractor I guess I can tell you. My name is Aiko, I'm also known as the Dark water nymph." I answered as I started to smile and my eyes stopped glowing to show my natural dark sapphire eyes. "And as for how I got here I came through the circle of light after making a contract with that person." I lifted my hand and pointed towards my contactor just as he clutch at the area on his chest where his heart would be. Pulling back some of his robes it was shown that above his heart was the same mark on my right arm and forehead.

"What is going on here?" the old man demanded as he turned back to me.
