I woke up in large, dark room. The only light was coming from a window, and that was moonlight. Hikari was next to me, on a separate futon. I looked down, and I was no longer in my shinigami uniform. I was in an oriental dress, with no sleeves, it was quite short. Its seam stopped at my hip, and my hair had been pulled back so it was half loose and the other half was in two, intricate braids. I had a throbbing headache, so I felt the back of my head. There was a bump there, and I remembered the gash on my arm. There was a clean bandage on it. I jumped up and walked to the window, stabilizing myself with the wall. I looked out, and was surprised of what I saw. It was white desert as far as the eye could see. I heard soft footfalls behind me, and turned around. Gin was behind me. "I-Ichimaru? W-where am I?!" I whimpered. "You are in Hueco Mundo, the home of the hollows. Hikari and your new home, also. I couldn't leave my favorite new lieutenant." He said snickering. I turned my head so he wouldn't see me blush.
"But why would you want me here?" I asked, my voice raising an octave.
"That's why I hired you. You are capable. You will do well here. As will your little friend." He said, tilting his head towards Hikari. I rushed to her and stood in front of her. "I want to go home," I whimpered. "My dad is going to want to know where I am. I miss my friends. Ichimaru, send me home." Tears began forming in my eyes. "Shit! I don't cry!" I screamed. Ichimaru stepped back a little, surprised by my outburst. Hikari stirred a little, and sat up. She looked around. She looked up at me, and cringed. "Shi… Where are we?" She whimpered. I sat back down, and hugged my knees. Gin apparently knew what I was thinking. "You can't find your way back to Soul Society. I'm sorry." He had true remorse in his voice. He left. Hikari burst into tears. I stared in to nothing-ness.
