It's sometimes hard to see the difference from Ikazuchi and Inazuma.
Chapter 3: dreams and pranks
There was a sudden bright flash of light in Ikazuchi's eyes as she woke up. "Ka..zu..ki?" she muttered. "Sorry. I don't know who this person is." a low voice came. "Where am I…. What year is it?" she grumbled. The voice said, "You're in a bed in the naval hospital. Also the date is April 14, 2021." Her eyes widen as they adjust to the room. It was dark, and there stood two figures. "I am your admiral, Kaminari." Ikazuchi 's face flusters up as she yells at him, "My name is IKAZUCHI NOT KAMINARI!" The admiral laughs and smiles at her a she beats him lightly with her fists as she gets out of the bed. "Hey Akashi, I'll be heading out now." the admiral says. Akashi suddenly jumps up in shock and asks, "Are you sure? She was just activated after we recieved her from Hawker 9 platoon this morning." The admiral blinks and laughs looking at Ikazuchi. "What's the worst that could happen?" he asks. Akashi's face turns blank as she replies, "The processor could fail and we'll need to send Ikazuchi back to Hawker 9 for repairs." They start arguing like the usual while Ikazuchi looks around in confusion. She walked up to the door of the building and swung it open. The blinding light flashed in as she heard the shouts of Akashi and the admiral suddenly get fainter.
In her subconsciousness (or dream)
Ikazuchi woke up to be back in 1942 on the IJN Ikazuchi. She hears some soft humming over near the bow. Where is everyone? she wonders as she peeks over at the person humming. There she saw Kazuki sitting on a chair while fishing. "Ikazuchi, I know you're there. Come, join me." He looked up and smiles at her. "It's been a while Kazuki. I was looking forwards to meeting you sometime ago." she replies wincing at the smell of raw fish. Kazuki smiles. "I see you have turned from spirit to actual human form girl. I'm glad that you get to have this chance." he sighs. "Your admiral looks like a complete goof like me. I hope you two could get along well." Ikazuchi turns to him and asks, "How do you know this anyways sir? I haven't seen you till now." "I'm dead remember. I can see everything. For example, right now your admiral is getting ready to throw you off the pier to see if you will awaken." He chuckles as he watches Ikazuchi desperately looking for a way to get out of this dream and finding a way to wake in the real world. A tug came from his fishing pole as he pulls upwards. A golden koi leaps outwards. "Looks like I caught one" he says. "You may go now Ikazuchi. I'll be watching over you."
Back in the real world
"I hope this wakes her up." The admiral picks up Ikazuchi and prepares to throw her into the pier. As he tosses her, Ikazuchi grabs his hand and they both fall into the pier. She laughs as the admiral bobs out of the water with seaweed and a squid in his hair. "Got you admiral!" she laughs as he gets back onto the dock. Kazuki was correct. She touched her hair and frowned. It was wet and she hated it getting wet. "At least you're awake now Ikazuchi." The admiral gasped after getting his hair free of seaweed. He looked up and saw Ikazuchi with her hair tied up into a ponytail. "Inazuma? Is that you?" he suddenly bursts out. Now flustered that the admiral had called her someone else, she slaps him in the face and shouts, "AGAIN WITH THE WRONG NAME!" The admiral suddenly gets a bright Idea and smiles. "I have the best idea Ikazuchi. Leave that ponytail on and wait. The girls are on a sortie right now and I have a prank to pull on Inazuma." Ikazuchi smiled and immediately mimics Inazuma's voice (A/N:Technically they are sisters so why not?). "You are so mean to me, nanodesu~" she says grinning like crazy. "You really sound like Inazuma now, Ikazuchi. Let's head over to the office now."
A little while later in the office
"Where is everyone, It is so quiet." Ikazuchi now complains. Suddenly the door of the office opens and reveals a short destroyer with a small ponytail. "Flagship Fubuki reporting from today's sortie!" Then she notices *cough* *cough* Inazuma *cough* cough* on the couch. "What are you doing here Inazuma? Aren't you supposed to be in the docks?" Internally smiling Ikazuchi replies, "Hawawa! I have been discovered, nanodesu~!" she imitates with a shocked face. The admiral tries to stifle his laughter. Fubuki, with a surprised look, tries to push Ikazuchi out of the room. "Inazuma, this isn't like you at all. What has gotten to you?" she asks. Ikazuchi was about to reply when the real Inazuma came into the room. Suddenly the room became very silent as both the Admiral and Ikazuchi try to stifle their laughter. "HAWAWA! Who are you, nanodesu?" The admiral then spoke up. "Hawker 9 probably gave us another Inazuma by accidents," he said winking at Ikazuchi. "WHA?" both the destroyers looked at Ikazuchi. Inazuma approaches Ikazuchi and waves her hand in front of her. Ikazuchi copies her and starts waving. She then approaches Inazuma and they both accidentally collide heads. "Oow" they both shout at once. Then both the admiral and Ikazuchi laughs while the two other destroyers looked at them with a confused look. Ikazuchi takes off the band and lets her hair fall down. "Third Akatsuki class destroyer reporting for duty!" Ikazuchi announces with a bouncy tone. "I have to admit though, Ikazuchi., you do make a good Inazuma." the admiral says as they open up the windows. He turns to see the two destroyers blushing like crazy. "Don't say that, nanodesu!" Inazuma complains as she starts to hit the admiral. "I guess I'll come back later admiral." Fubuki says as she leaves the room with a rather awkward smile.
Now there is the end of the third chapter. I'll probably be updating more frequently these days because I am on Vacation right now. Please review and if you have any suggestions, please tell me in the reviews because I currently am dry of ideas. Thanks!
