Kokoro no Uta – The tale of the Shinigami Witch

Chapter 8 – Should I?

"Now… Mizuki, Rei there's something I wanna talk to you about… It concerns about your skills …"

"May I ask… Why is our skills so interesting to you?"

Hitsugaya crossed his arms and closed his eyes as he looked another direction from Mizuki, Rei and Matsumoto just watched all the action happening since they were still a little bit drunk.

"Because… I see a shinigami in you guys… If you are willing to… That's is why I brought you guys here"

"Dou… shite?"

Does that mean… he wants us to become shinigami's?

Everyone froze from Hitsugaya's words, Mizuki just hugged the coat Hitsugaya handed her as Matsumoto got up and just stared at her captian

"Taichou… What are you thinking? These girls aren't ready to be shinigami's just like that! They need the skills, the agility, the shinigami power and most importantly the knowledge"

Hitsugaya walked back to his desk ignoring Matsumoto's words as he took a sip of tea from his special cup, Matsumoto fought back as she slammed her hands on the table and took a serious look at her captian

"Taichou! How are they…?"

"Calm down Matsumoto, you know perfectly well that I think before I act…"

"But taichou, this is serious… how could you make them into shinigami's? Especially Mizuki-chan? She just got here and doesn't know a thing…"

We just meet yesterday from a fight… and now he wants to make us shinigami's?

Mizuki clenched her hands on Hitsugaya's coat and looked down at the floor, Hitsugaya noticed as he looked back to his cup that had heat coming out of it.

"Mizuki… Rei… do you two have any experience in fighting, self defence and stuff like those?"

"5 years of Karate and 1 years of Judo… or should I say black belt in karate and just a beginner in judo"

"And you Mizuki?"

"4 years in both fencing and self defence…"

"Well Mizuki got both skill and agility right, Rei might need some training with a sword… And I can sense some strange powers within each of them…"

Matsumoto then looked at them and thought for a moment

"Rei has more knowledge of this place than Mizuki, I'm guessing with these result maybe around 6 months of serious intense training can make them into shinigami's… But still taichou, I think maybe they may have a hard time here…"

"And that's why we have choices…"

He then gave them a scary but serious look as he leaned on his chair and looked away from them

"Were offering you guys a choice, a choice to either join us or decline. Since of your experience you guys will take 6 months advance shinigami learning as we give you both your own zanpaktou, uniform, a room for both to sleep and provided food. Everything for a cost of you guys to stay, BUT the only thing is that one of you has to be in the 9th division and another here in the 10th division. Yamamoto and I making the decision"

Matsumoto stood next to where Hitsugaya sat while Rei's eyes started to glitter and Mizuki just acted her normal self.

"And also, if you agree to this there's no turning back… you stay in this place for the rest of your life here in Soul Society, being with a new family and a new environment. But what we really want you guys to understand is that in every situation there's a life and death cause that can happen in any situation…"

Both eyes open wide for a moment as Matsumoto said those words, Hitsugaya's face looked at their scared faces and just looked a bit worried.

"May we both think about it for a while?"

"Sure, go ahead… I have nothing else to do today but sign some paperwork, right Matsumoto?"

"Eheh… actually…"

Matsumoto sweat dropped as she suddenly ran out the room and left Hitsugaya with an angry mark on his forehead, Mizuki then got up as she suddenly went through the window. Rei walked up to Hitsugaya who just sighted and just smiled in a sad way

"I wish I knew what was happening in that poor girls head… she alway acts like that"

"She's awfully… deep with keeping her emotions to herself, must have had a hard life on earth"

"Hopefully she didn't come here to Soul Society because of commit suicide, then her pain from earth will keep her this way…"

"I don't think she died because of that Rei, maybe her life in earth… was a bit harsh on her innocent soul"

Rei then sat on the side of the desk as she watched Mizuki from a distance

"I'm glad to accept this Hitsugaya, but… that's if Mizuki could join with me…"

"Then the decision rests on her shoulders…"

---

What should I do? I know deeply that Rei wants to be a shinigami; it was her dream wasn't it?

"Hmm, no wonder why I couldn't see the shinigami! All black! But you wanna become a shinigami?"

"Yep, that's my current dream I'm chasing. To become a shinigami, so I can help others. They say that you need a pretty good reason to join!"

She wants to help others… like all the other shinigami's do… But what I still don't get is why Hitsugaya just suddenly wants us to become shinigami's! All I ever did was fight and lose to that leader, did that suddenly make him think this way? Anyways he should know that I'm new here, don't know a darn thing and most of all is getting so dam confused! I'm breaking down here…

"Mizuki…"

Mizuki suddenly blinked in shock as she noticed Rei trying to get to the top of the roof where she was, Mizuki got up and helped Rei as they both walked back up to the top of the rood and sat down.

"So Mizuki, what's your decision to what Hitsugaya was talking about?"

"I dunno yet… I dunno if I'm capable to become a shinigami, since I have less knowledge of this place…"

"Don't worry! You have me Mizuki, and I'm sure this training will be a lot easier to you than it is to me… I have to learn how to use a sword! That's mostly important than learning about Soul Society"

"But I wasn't good at history or even remembering things back on earth, I'm not sure I can do it…"

Rei then stood up as she made one of those 'good people poses' and looked at the scenery of Rukongai

"Mizuki, if you wanna become a shinigami then you should believe in yourself… that goes with other things you wanna do in your life, if you believe in yourself and push yourself to be what you want… then you could do anything!"

"Demo… would I become a good shinigami? I don't even know why I wanna join"

Even though if I wanted to become a shinigami, what purpose is there for me to become one?

"Well hopefully you make the right decision, this decision count for what were gonna do for the rest pf our lives… Now don't decide this because of me, decide for your own sake"

Rei got her hands out to Mizuki as she smiled and turned it to a pinkie promise

"But before I forget, can I promise you something?"

"Huh? But…"

"Can I promise to you that if your having trouble if it's a life or death situation, that I will help you when you need me?"

Mizuki blinked in confusion while Rei just sweat dropped

"I know it sounds a bit weird and all… But that's what buddies are for aren't they? To help their friends in any situations, because we care for each other"

Mizuki smiled as she suddenly got her pinkie out as well

"A promise it is, and I'll do the same thing "

They both made the promise as Rei helped Mizuki up and walked back inside where Hitsugaya was holding onto a black butterfly, he noticed their appearance as he send the butterfly away and watched them as they both came up to his desk

"I just sent a hell butterfly to Matsumoto for her will return to take you guys home"

"So that's a hell butterfly… cool"

"Ohh Hitsugaya"

Mizuki got his coat off and folded it up nice and neatly while Hitsugaya sweat dropped and tried to smile

"There's no need to make it all neat Mizuki, anyways I need to wear it before anyone else notice I'm not wearing my proper uniform" "Ohh gomenasai…"

She unfolded it and gave it to Hitsugaya who immediately wore it, Mizuki then looked at some of the pile of paper on his desk while Rei was talking to Hitsugaya about his white hair. She noticed this article about some mysterious hollow as she tried to take a close look but suddenly freaked out from Matsumoto's appearance

"Mizuki! Rei! Come along girls, Matsumoto will take you out of this boring place"

Mizuki noticed Hitsugaya pilling all the papers as that article went along with the pile, she sighted as Hitsugaya caught her looking snoopy

Shimata! Ohh well…

"Is there something interesting about staring at my desk Miyazaki?"

She reacted quickly as she sweat dropped and scratched her head

"Eheh no, nothing at all Hitsugaya…"

Matsumoto then dragged Mizuki along with Rei while Hitsugaya sweat dropped at how drunk she was, Mizuki was a bit afraid of how Matsumoto was dragging them as she started shivering

She's even more scary when she's drunk… Why can't someone else take us?

They were about to leave until they suddenly felt the wind going past as she suddenly noticed Hitsugaya in front of them

"I forgot to mention, the decision must be made by tomorrow. We don't have much time to loose so think about it tonight, okay?"

They all blinked at him while he decided to walk back into the lounge, before he closed the door he looked back to them with his light green eyes as he sighted

"Please Miyazaki, Rikkui. Can you make sure that Matsumoto doesn't come back drunk? I would really appreciate it"

"Uhh sure…"

He then closed the door as they all sweat dropped, Mizuki and Rei got out of Matsumoto's dragging as Matsumoto just smiled her drunken way and lead the way. Rei then looked back to the 10th division lounge with a bored look

"That taichou is one adult-ish person, does he even remember his own young age?"

"He should be around your age right Rei?"

"Hmm… I guess you could say that, or maybe he's 1 year younger from the look of his baby face"

"So that mean he's 15?"

"Well… you could say that, but here we say 150"

Ohh yeah… that hentai person said that before

"So… you must of just came here in Soul Society huh?"

"Why would you know something like that?"

"If you were around the area, your age wouldn't be 14, it would be around 140 years…"

"140…?"

Don't ever remember that gang Mizuki! Bad, bad, bad…

"Ohh okay then, I knew that…"

"Sure you did"

"Ohh never mind"

The conversation was all quiet until they finally reached the gate they came in from, Shidanhou appeared again as he let Rei and Mizuki through. When they both jolted to the other side and noticed Matsumoto waving goodbye they panicked as they tried to get back on the other side but Shidanhou already closed the gate.

"By girls, I'll come to your place tomorrow morning! Be ready"

Uhh ohh…

"Hitsugaya will surely get grump at us tomorrow"

"The thought of that… is just scary, since he looked happy for us to take care of her…"

They both sighted in a gloomy way and started heading back to Rei's place, while they were walking Mizuki was back into her deep thoughts while Rei was just looking around the market. When they finally arrived at the alleyway to the house Rei stretched her arms out and decided to talk

"Well my decision is already made, I'm gonna become a shinigami even if I live or die. This is my chance and I wont deny it"

Guess nothing will change in her head…

"How about you Mizuki? Still thinking?"

"Mm… I think I need a bit more time to think about it"

"But before you think about it eat dinner with us okay?"

"Well… I'm not that hungry…"

"Don't deny it! Last time you said you would skip dinner, you ended up eating 2 bowls of katsudon!"

Eheh… she got me there, don't think I could escape it once again…

"Fine, I'll only have some"

"Right… might be double the amount we could eat"

When they finally reached the house everyone was outside as they all ran up to them, Kana and Haruka were both crying as they both hugged them both. Kyo, Hiro and Noriko just stood a bit away from the shocked girls, as they got a bit angry

"Rei, Mizuki. Where were you guys all day? We've been searching around the area to find out what you've been doing with that shinigami"

"Now, now Noriko. I'm sure these two have a great explanation"

Rei and Mizuki took Kana and Haruka off as they patted them both and just sweat dropped

"Why don't we go eat some food and then will explain? Cause I'm starving"

"It's nothing bad… but could we get some energy before we chat? Since its kinda intense…"

Kyo then stood in front of them and wrapped his arms around them and looked back to Hiro and Noriko

"You herd what Mizuki said, everyone back in the house! Tonight I'm cooking"

My plan always works, teehee…

They all went back inside as Kyo cooked sushi for everyone while everyone sat around the table with a serious atmosphere

"How would you care to explain?"

"Uhh… eheh… How can I explain this…"

Rei explained the whole situation about them becoming shinigami's while everyone just looked shocked, some where happy while some were sad

"Is Rei and Mizuki gonna go away from us?"

"Well I haven't made up my mind yet Kana"

"Does that mean you'll stay?"

"That we can't decide yet Haruka… But if we do leave we will come back and visit okay?"

They both started crying while Mizuki and Rei just sweat dropped, Kyo then picked them up as he took them away t their rooms. Hiro and Noriko just sat their all quiet until Hiro finally talked

"So… in the end you guys get to be shinigami's, I think that's wonderful"

"Wonderful? Hiro they might die out there! There just too young to become shinigami's, why can't Hitsugaya-san just wait for a couple more years?"

"Noriko… you know that they need people to become shinigami's, young or old. Ever since that incident happened Soul Society needs more protection! You know that…"

"Gosousamadeshita (a word Japanese people say after eating their dinner)"

Mizuki stood up as she pushed her chair in and walked off, Rei was about to get up as well until Mizuki noticed and stopped

"I'm just going for a little walk, I promise I'll be back in a hour"

"I'm coming to…"

"Please Rei, anyways this time those gangsters won't disturb me anymore. I need… to think about it…"

"Be careful"

Mizuki took a jumper from the clothes pile and walked outside, Rei sat back down in her seat and looked down. Noriko and Hiro just looked at the window Mizuki last was

"Rei… sometimes people need to have some time alone, and Mizuki really need to be alone right now"

"She's right Rei, Mizuki just came here and already something big happens that could change her life forever… Poor child, I wish we could help her"

"But all we can do now, is support her…"
