You are the Wind Beneath My Wings

That night, Natsumi had a dream that she was trapped inside a dark enclosed space. She felt that the ceilings and walls were closing in on her. "Help!" Natsumi cried but nobody came to her. She then saw a pale translucent Nakito staring at her from above. "Nakito!" she cried with happiness. "Don't come near me." The Nakito Natsumi saw said. "You betrayed me. I never knew you had the heart to take my fiancé away from me. Die!!" Nakito sliced through the air with her zanpakuto. Natsumi saw red then black. She was somewhere else now. There was blood shed around her. She saw Rangiku fighting. She saw Nohaya fighting but Natsumi didn't see Hitsugaya. She was floating around against her own will when Natsumi saw Hitsugaya. He was on the ground with many wounds. Blood spurted everywhere from his gashes. He whispered, "I was wrong to trust Natsumi. She betrayed Rukongi. I'm sorry everyone I had let you down." Hitsugaya then died. Natsumi screamed. She woke up.

"What just happened?" Hitsugaya said. He peered through the tent opening. Hitsugaya saw a panting opened eyed Natsumi. Nohaya was still snoring away. "Nothing." Natsumi tried to dismiss the thought that Hitsugaya had died. "No something is wrong. Your face is red." Natsumi tried to calm down. She took a deep breath. "No really it's fine. I just had a nightmare that's all." "A nightmare about what?" Hitsugaya asked. "Uhhhhhh." Natsumi was trapped. Would she tell Hitsugaya her dreams or would she lie. "I saw people die." Natsumi decided to lie. Hitsugaya caught the lie but dismissed it. But he was hurt. He didn't know the feeling he was having. She doesn't trust me. He thought sadly. Hitsugaya faked a nod. "Ok. When you fell bad just tell me ok?" Hitsugaya left the tent.

Natsumi sighed and went back to sleep. Later she found she couldn't. So she just opened her eyes thinking of the times she had with Nakito. Nakito where are you? After a while an exhausted Natsumi fell asleep.

"When is she going to wake? Its noon already." A girl said.

"Be quiet. She had a nightmare last night. I saw her outside seeming haunted. She needs to sleep more." A boy's voice said.

Natsumi opened her eye. "Nakito." She said. But someone shook her. "Wah?" It was Nohaya who had shook her. "Wake up it's noon."

"Sorry I tried to stop her." Hitsugaya said. Natsumi shrugged. She wasn't in the mood to say any sarcastic remarks. "What ever. So what time did you say it was?" Natsumi asked. "Noon." Nohaya said. "Where are we going to next? You seem all eager and mighty to please." Natsumi asked. She sat up and walked out the tent as Nohaya bounced around. "Yep its light. That's my type!" She cried with glee. Nohaya ran out to the lake with Natsumi and Hitsugaya soon following. After that they both sat down and started talking while letting Nohaya run off.

"Talk about hyper…" muttered Natsumi. "Speaking of which are you feeling better Hitsugaya taichou?" "Huh?" Hitsugaya asked. "Never mind. I am glad your fine? You know what I feel much better too. That sleep sure perked me up." Natsumi yawned. She didn't want to mention Nakito to Hitsugaya. Natsumi bit her lip. I will never ever be able to replace Hitsugaya's love for Nakito even if I tried as hard as I could. "Is something troubling you Natsumi?" Hitsugaya asked. Natsumi couldn't think of anything sarcastic to say. She heard something chuckle lightly. Little one you are still young. The voice said. "Who was that?" Natsumi said. "I didn't hear anything or see anything." Hitsugaya said. I am your sword spirit Hikaze. The phoenix. You are really young to not understand the way of the phoenix. Her sword suddenly said. Natsumi went silent. My sword speaks cool! "Hitsugaya taichou can I ask you a favor. I doubt we will go far staying right where we are right now. Come on. Nohaya! Time to go!" She called. Nohaya came from behind them pouting. "Well so where are we going?" Hitsugaya and Natsumi sweat dropped.

"The light seal. Hikaritenshi. (Light angel) Its at Taiyou yama (Sun mountain). It's pretty high up. We will face harsh conditions. It would be easier with... with... with….." Hitsugaya became silent. Natsumi knew what he was thinking. The answer was Nakito. Nakito could easily with her earth powers lower the mountain down so it would be easy to climb. "Umm?" Nohaya broke the concentration thread between Natsumi and Hitsugaya about Nakito. "Oh right so we were leaving let's pack up." Hitsugaya said. "Got it." Natsumi said.

She scrambled back to the camp only to find 30 hollows. She paused. "A tasty treat has come here I see." A hollow said. Nohaya came and gasped. She scrambled of leaving Natsumi to herself. "Kuso." Natsumi grumbled. "Where is Hitsugaya when I need him" The hollows all surrounded her. "Tasty one let me have a bit of you." Suddenly Natsumi was all surrounded. "Hikaze Hi arashi!" She screamed. Fire balls started falling from the red sky. It hit many of the hollows but those who were strong blocked the fire balls. Natsumi didn't notice as one hollow crept behind her. It quickly entered her and took control of her soul. At the same intense Hitsugaya came rushing with Nohaya close behind. "Natsumi are you all…" Hitsugaya didn't finish before Natsumi lunged at him with her sword. "Hikaze bankai. Honou. (A mythical creature made in china. Thought I'd add it hear)" Was all Natsumi murmured. "When did she get bankai?" Hitsugaya asked Nohaya. "I don't know." Nohaya answered. Natsumi was suddenly in the air. She had wings that were burning like flames. Her sword burned furiously as it seemed to reach everywhere. The hilt had become red. Everything else burned. There were also jagged lines on her. She had a crest on her forehead and a crown made of fire.

"Hello tasty morsels. Your friend here is quite weak at controlling her powers. Let me help her." The hollow inside Natsumi said. "She is being controlled by hollows." Hitsugaya said. "How can we destroy the hollows." Nohaya asked. "There isn't a way." Hitsugaya answered. "We have to kill Natsumi too." "Don't kill my host yet. I want some fun." The hollow laughed and with Natsumi's body lunged at Nohaya and Hitsugaya. "Kajitsunami (Fire waves)!" Natsumi yelled. A huge wave of fire swooped at Hitsugaya and Nohaya. Hitsugaya grabbed Nohaya and carried her to safety. "Let me handle this." Hitsugaya said. "Soten ni zase!" Hitsugaya yelled. He jumped on Hyourinnmaru. "Promise me one thing. Run away if I die." Hitsugaya said before letting Hyourinnmaru rise up. Natsumi slashed at Hitsugaya. Hitsugaya was cut many times finally Hitsugaya let her cut his shoulder but he grabbed her arm that held the sword. The other arm came to punch him but he dodged. "Why you!" The hollow inside Natsumi cried. "Natsumi can you hear me? Natsumi please become your normal self again." Hitsugaya pleaded. "It won't work morsel. Just shut up and let me eat you." The hollow said. "What is this? I can't control her." Natsumi fought. She became herself for a few second. "Why Hitsugaya taichou why?" she said as she cried. "You are my precious friend." Was all Hitsugaya said. He felt faint and started to slump. Natsumi felt herself falling as the hollow pushed her down. "Oh no you aren't going to do that to my body!" Natsumi yelled. She pushed herself forward and dragged the screaming hollow down. But the hollow transformed into a beautiful women. The women had Midnight blue hair and purple eyes. She was wearing a kimono and seemed to be a noble. "Thank you. You have freed me from my hollow form. However, I can't escape you so let me help you fight the world in repay. When you need me summon me with your strength. Call on me and your shikai nor bankai won't have one sword but two." The women disappeared. Natsumi's bankai dissolved and she fell. Hitsugaya with the last of his strength reached for Natsumi and caught her.

Nohaya spent the rest of the day tending the two's wounds. The three didn't move after all. Natsumi woke up to see Hitsugaya all feeling better. "I'm sorry Hitsugaya taichou." Was all Natsumi said. She waited for her punishment. But instead she felt him embrace her. Natsumi gasped then blushed a red rose color. "No. I should be sorry for not coming earlier till I saw your attack. I should've sensed their reisatsu. Like I said you are my precious friend and I will protect you all my life." Hitsugaya said. Natsumi smiled.
