Chapter 34: Splash Dream
Reika Hino, Kage of Team 10, woke up reluctantly to the sound of her alarm clock. She sat up, yawned and stretched. Today was Saturday, her day off. But since Ami wasn't there, Reika was forced to take over.
She got dressed and went to the Team 10 Mess Hall.
As she walked up to the counter and yawned, a subordinate from Team 10, who was cooking all day today, asked her, "The usual, Kage-san?"
"Yeah," the fire-weilder said through a yawn. "But to-go, please..."
He gave his Kage her breakfast, which consisted of scrambled eggs, rye toast, and bacon, plus a to-go cup of orange juice, she stumbled back to the office and sat down at her desk. she didn't sit down at Ami's. She wasn't the Hokage, but Ami-chan was. And Reika respected that, even if she wasn't a morning person.
She ate her breakfast while she worked, and when she finished her work, she hummed the tune to ehr favorite song, and then eventually sang it.
"Shiosai no tsumugu MERODII
Michiteku omoi
Kitsuku me wo tojite...
Hoshikuzu no egaku MESSEEJI
Hiroiatsumete
Kono mune ni kizamu
Shinjikiru koto ga naniyori mo tsuyoku..."
But she was interrupted by a knock on the shouji doors. She sighed. "Come in..."
Little Tejina, Shino, and Neji opened the doors.
"You have a nice voice, Kage-san," Neji said.
"Thanks," Reika said, blushing pink.
"No problem. Could you open the training grounds for us, please? Shino wants to practice his ultimate techinique..."
"Sure." Reika wrote each of them a note for them to put in their hip pouches. They happily left, Tejina humming the tune of Reika's song, Splash Dream.
~After lunch~
Reika had time to go to the Sereitei for a visit before dinner. There she could see her Shinigami friends there.
She was just walking along, having nothing to do with what lie ahead before her. She stopped when she saw a body. It was her friend, Shouta Hidemori, Captain of the Third Division. She ran over to him.
"Hidemori-san! Wake up!" She said this over and over again, but it was no use.
He was dead.
So she took his body to Division Four for an autopsy.
~In Division Four~
Unohana had just finished examining the body. "Well, Hino-san. He was murdered. By a Shinigami. I'll contact the Soutaichou immediately."
"I'll find the murderers. Or I'll try. My Team does specialize in detective work, after all. We do have control over the Akatsuki."
"Alright, go. Good luck, Hino-san," Unohana said.
"Thanks. I have a feeling I'll need it."
~Later~
Reika was getting nowhere and was extremely frustrated about it.
"I could just ask Itachi-san to help me, but he said he was hanging out Sasuke-kun today for a brotherly-get-together," She mused to herself. "But wait! I've got an idea."
Reika opened her mouth and started to sing Splash Dream...
~With some Shinigami~
Two Shinigami raised their heads up.
"What is it?" Their friend asked.
"That voice is awesome. Let's go find where it's coming from..." And so the three of them did.
Reika sensed them coming and so she shunpo'd off to the Team 1 barracks where a Captain meeting was being held.
If she had done it right, her song had lured the people who murdered Hidemori-taichou to follow the song.
They finally came knocking on the door of the Squad 1 barracks. Yamamoto, on Reika's request, opened the door. There stood the three Shinigami.
"Oh, we're sorry, Sir. We didn't realize that there was a meeting going on," said the leader.
"Don't worry about it," the Soutaichou said. "We actually called you here for a very important reason. Hino-san, if you are ready?"
Reika nodded. She sang her song, which acted like a Genjutsu to the three Shinigami, forcing them to tell the truth.
"Shiosai no tsumugu MERODII
Michiteku omoi
Kitsuku me wo tojite...
Hoshikuzu no egaku MESSEEJI
Hiroiatsumete
Kono mune ni kizamu
Shinjikiru koto ga naniyori mo tsuyoku
Splash Dream!
Inori wa ya no you ni
Nanatsu no umi meguri toumei na ai wo inuku
Splash Dream!
Hitomi no oku ni Splash Dream!
Subete wo sasagete mamoritai ai dake wo..."
She sang over and over again (about twice), while Soifon-taichou asked the three questions about the murder.
Finally her last one was, "Did any of you take part in the murder of Shouta Hidemori, Taichou of the Third Division?"
Two if them, the ones that heard the song, said yes blankly. The third, however, said no, because he did not hear the song, therefore he was innocent.
"Cutie Hot…PITCH!"
The other two were taken care of by the Omnitsukidou.
The Captains were dismissed, and they each passes by Reika, congradulating her.
'Good job, Akaiiro Star Holder...' (Akaiiro means red.) Reika looked around bewildered. Where did that voice come from? And 'Akaiiro Star Holder'?
What the hell was going on?

A/N: Review, please! This is the official start of Seven Girls' new power. We already know one of them is Reika, but who are the other six? And can anyone give me a guess as to whom that voice belonged?
