Chapter 3: Meeting the Death God
'Why is this happening to me..Why me?' he said to herself. There was a hint of green tea lingering in the air, the scent was soothing and calm. 'Am I...still dreaming?' she heard someone calling out to her softly...
"Hinamori-san…?"
Opening her eyes, she looked up at the ceiling and a lamp hanging from it. She blinked a few times and turned her head to see her manager sitting besides her smiling "Urahara-san…?" she said.
He nodded "Hello Hinamori-san I'm so glad you're awake" he held some tea for her "Here have some tea, you'll feel better."
She slowly sat up and received the tea from her manager "Urahara-san…? What happened…How did I get here...?" Urahara nodded as he closed his eyes "I understand you're confused and have a lot of questions right now. First drink some tea and try to calm yourself."
She looked at her manager and closed her eyes while taking a sip of the warm green tea. She took a deep breath as Urahara smiled "Feel better, Hinamori-san?"
"Hai..." she replied in a small voice. "That's good..." Urahara said as he looked down and pour himself some tea as well ""Well before we start, what can you remember, Hinamori-san?"
"Erm...Well, I remember walking home and-" she stopped herself.
Where to start? She didn't want to blurt out anything that would make her look or sound crazy! She remembered walking back home and saw the monster on the streets then, that boy appeared. He had slain the monster and soon everything just became a blur.
She couldn't recall coming back to Urahara's store and didn't want to lose her job yet she didn't want to lie to her manager either. She lowered her head and shook it "…You probably wouldn't believe me, Urahara-san."
"And why wouldn't I?" Urahara said with a soft smile. His words were warm and understanding. She was so lucky to have a nice manager like Urahara but, she didn't want him to know about her secret. It always drove away everyone expect her grandmother.
Hinamori look down at her tea cup; wondering if she should tell him about her curse being able to see dead people and monsters that no one else can see. Suddenly, the door slide open as a white haired boy wearing a strange uniform entered.
Hinamori's eyes widen "You…-!"she stared straight into his eyes, this wasn't a dream anymore.
"Urahara, enough of this…She's going to hurt herself. You know the reason already, she can see us" he spoke as Hinamori tilted her head "Excuse me…?" Clearly she was confessed at the white haired boy. Urahara gave a nod "I guess you're right. Hinamori-san..." he called her and pointed towards the boy by the door "Do you see this young man in this room?"
Was this a joke? She knew she was a bit strange but wasn't blind, of course she can see him. White hair and turquoise eyes; he stands out like a nail. Hinamori was confused but gave a short nod "…Hai." Soon, Urahara adjusted his hat "So you can see him clearly, that is interesting...Now, can you touch him?"
'UHHH...What...?' Hinamori's face when blank with her cheeks burning up from the embarrassing question.
"Hahaha! Oh Hinamori-san! I'm so sorry!" Urahara started to laugh "I know my request is a bit odd but, it's just a small test." Soon, the white haired boy took a step inside the room and pulled out his hand out towards the girl.
Hinamori was taken back and looked up at him. His turquoise colored eyes looked straight into hers; the eyes she remembered in her dreams. She felt her own hand reaching towards to his as if it had a mind of its own. She softly felt her finger tips on the palm of his hands, they felt strong. Urahara watched carefully as their hands were together and smiled "Well done! Hinamori-san...You passed the test. You really do have a high levels of spiritual powers inside you."
"Eh?" She turned towards her manager and looked back at her hand. She quickly withdrew her hand back with her face blushing 'Oh god...How long were we holding hands!?' it felt like hours as if time stopped.
The white haired boy crossed his arms and leaned against the wall "Are you satisfied now, Urahara?" The green hatted man looked at the annoyed captain and nodded "Hai! Thank you for your participation, I really wasn't expecting you to comply with the request but you did! hahaha!"
Suddenly, he looked at the green hatted man with darken eyes and the room turned cold.
"I'm joking! I'm joking! Hahaha...!" Urahara said with a hesitant laugh. "Erm..." Hinamori said quietly, they both stopped and looked at the girl who was still in the room watching the two "Urahara-san...I still don't understand what is going on. What do you mean Spiritual energy and...Who is he?" she looked at the boy.
Urahara let out a chuckle"Now that is the million dollar question! Isn't it...Hitsugaya Taicho?" Hinamori arched an eyebrow '...Taicho?' she thought to herself wondering why such strange title? Her manager looked at Hinamori with a smile "You see, Hinamori-san...You're able to see things no one else can, correct?"
Her eyes widened in shock, words wouldn't come out all she could do is nod slowly. Urahara placed his hand over hers "It must of been hard for you to deal with this and hide it but you do not have to be afraid Hinamori-san, what you have is a powerful gift. I always knew you were special, that's why I wanted to see how strong your spiritual power is and clearly, you're levels are quite high for a regular human."
Urahara looked at the boy "...Strong enough to see him." He looked back at the brown haired girl "Hinamori-san, he is a Shingami."
"Eh…?" Hinamori blinked as she looked at her manager who was just smiling and looked at the boy. "…A Shinigami?...A death god?...Reaper?" she asked quietly.
Urahara smiled brightly and nodded "Bingo! All three are correct! I'm so glad you're taking quite well!" Hinamori sat there with a blank expression. She wasn't taking this well, she was getting hit by trains constantly and her brain was already slowly frying.
Soon the telephone began to ring in the other room as he slowly stood up "Oh! Excuse me...Hitsugaya Taicho, please watch her I will be right back!"
"Uhm wai-!" Hinamori called out but, Urahara had left the two alone in the room with the door closed. The room was dead quiet as the young Shinigami sat down nearby and leaned against the wall with his eyes closed waiting for the stripped hatted man to return.
She couldn't believe she was in a presences of a Shinigami. The image what she thought was so different; always thinking they were skeletons carrying a large scythe around and wore ragged black robes. But, the Shinigami looked normal and mysterious. His looks were cold as winter itself and so young, almost if they were the same age.
"When were you able to see us?" he finally spoke, Hinamori snapped out of it "Erm…Since, I was young. I was in a car accident with my parents. They didn't make it and I was the only survivor…"
He opened his turquoise eyes and looked at her "…I see, a near death experience. That would make sense why you could see us."
Looking into his eyes, she felt drawn in. Suddenly, it hit her like a speeding truck. Her manager left the room with her and the Shingami it only meant one thing. She swallowed hard as she held her gut; she was going to die…
'D-Did he hear my wish!?' She began to panic; she didn't mean to wish for herself to go somewhere far away like heaven or the afterlife. Regretting her wish, she bowed in front of him "OH SHINIGAMI-SAMA!"
He jumped with his arched eyebrow in shock from her suddenly bowing towards him "W-What are you doing?!"
"Please hear me out! I didn't mean to make such stupid wish! I take it ALL back; please don't take me with you! Not yet, I'm still too young!" she cried out. He sat there looking at the awkward girl in front of him freaking out "…What in the world are you talking about?" She lifted her head up with teary eyes "…You're…Not here to take me to the other world?"
"Why in the world would I take you with me?" he said as Hinamori sat back down "then…Why are you here?" He crossed his arms "We're here on duty to take care of the hollows in the area and send wandering spirits home."
"Hollows?" she asked, he nodded "…Yes, the monster you saw before you fainted." He began to slowly explain that hollows are corrupted souls that fell into despair and turn into what they call "Hollows".
She sat there listening to the Shinigami who was actually a high ranked captain; one of the Gotei 13 captains. He had explain about how if a wandering spirit lingers around the human world too long, they'll soon turn into an hollow. She was amazed at him and smiled "Thank goodness you're not here to take me away! I'm so glad…"
He let out a small scoff "…I could never understand you humans." He sat there looking at her smiling brightly 'Why is she smiling like that… Is living that great?' He looked at her and looked away but, he was still looking at her from the corner of his eye. He couldn't stop looking at the brown haired girl...
The door opened "Maa…Sorry I had some other business I needed to take care of, now are we getting along now?" The young captain slowly stood up "I better get back…"
"Understood, thank you Hitsugaya Taicho please take care of yourself!" The stripped hatted man stepped aside as the captain left the room. He stopped; he wanted to say something to her but soon disappeared.
"He's gone…" She blinked her eyes; it was like a magic trick. Urahara chuckled "You seem quite interested in the captain…Did something happen?" Her face began to blush red; there was no way she would tell her manager that she dreamed about the Death god she just met! Her life was never going to be the same…
