Chapter 51: Fusion sphere, awaken karakura town!
I never thought I would end up here again so soon…
"Are you sure, you feel alright Hime-sama?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Back in karakura to see the damage…but not just that…the people, the humans are still asleep. "It's as I feared…" hime's voice said, "Is this her doing as well?"
"Most likely."
That Valkyrie…even put the humans in a deep sleep…
"Search around the area, you two." She ordered the two shinigami with us, "Yes, ma'am." The two raced off, "This is pretty horrible."
"Yeah…it was too strong what she did."
"Can you undo it?"
"Hopefully."
"Hopefully? You aren't sure?"
"I passed out for three days after last time I undid it."
"…."
"This is even bigger area so…I'm unsure if it will work."
I wasn't meant to be here with her in karakura…head captain was against me being anywhere near Hime after everything that happened. I did go against orders after all. He refused to let me go with her. Especially alone with her. He sent two other shinigami to plain keep an eye on me.
Also the only reason I got to go with her is because she gave me the okay.
"Head captain still pissed isn't he?"
"Yes. But at the same time…he is grateful."
"Grateful?"
"That you saved me in a matter of speaking…"
We would be in the real world for months most likely it would take a long time to fix the damage done.
"Hime…sense we are here again…you should go visit Inoue." I told her, "I can't." she whispered back to me, "She safe now. You have nothing to fear." She was against it. "But…"
"I'm sure she wants to meet you…her big sister."
She needs something to take her mind off all the problems but. "Now not the time…" She whispered to me as the two shinigami returned. "I don't see anyone up and about!"
"Everyone on the ground, everywhere we looked!" We both feared it would turn out this way. "I see."
"What's your plan Hime-sama?"
"To return this town as it should be as soon as we can."
"How do you plan to do that?"
"There are over 10,000 people down!"
"I know."
It needs to be stronger than the one I used in the soul society.
Must stronger!
I want to save everyone!
She had an idea.
"You two take out hollow that appear. They may react to her reiatsu."
"She has a plan?"
"She always had a plan."
"Okay! Let's go!~"
"Will this work?"
"I don't know."
She's been very cold sense we got to the living world, to karakura town. Is it out of fear or some other reason?
"Hime, just be careful."
"I know, you as well Captain Hitsugaya."
"Yeah…" I still hate it when she calls me Hitsugaya…but I know she is cause of the other two. Still that doesn't stop me from hating it.
Please!
Please I want to save them all!
Then sing!
Sing?
Sing with those feelings as you did before!
Sing!
The parched land, like a scorched hell…
A palace covered with Ice lay within…
I tell a far old tales about it…
"A song?" I asked seeing reiastu surrounding Hime, "Hime?" I asked staring toward her.
It's just like that other time on the battlefield against Aizen.
The Ice was a curse put on the palace…
It was a very firm seal…
A frozen girl was locked in there for a long time…
All alone…
"Hmm?" Shinji opened one eye he could hear something, "Shinji what is it?" he was asked, "Nothing, but I'm going to get some air." He told him and headed outside; he could hear it strongly now.
A boy traveler happened to visit there…
The boy was surprised to find the palace and unsealed it…
There he found the girl, and felt sadness from her face…
So he helped the lonely girl out of the palace…
"So…he did save you after all, Hime." Shinji closed his eyes listening, "you really are growing up. You aren't a helpless little girl any longer."
The girl was happy he talked to her…
But Ice cannot talk with the boy…
The girl was glad he was with her…
Humans started to move a bit.
"I see that's what you are doing…"
But Ice cannot smile sand she melted into water by his warmth…
Water soared like feathers and returned to the heavens…
Hollows quickly appeared after she started singing…it was like her reiatsu was calling to them. But she must sing! We must stop all the waves that enter!
The parched land, like a scorched hell…
The voice of joy resonated in there…
I tell a sequel to the far old tale about it…
"Captain Hitsugaya! We can't keep this up!"
"We have too! Until she's done!"
"The waves keep getting big and big by the minute!"
The girl returned to the heavens and became rain which poured on the land…
Very affectionate blessing…
"Captain Hitsugaya!" a wave made it pass us and toward her, "Hime!" I yelled as she opened her eyes, "Eh?"
Keep singing!
But the hollow!
I will protect you from them as your blade!
My blade….you're?
In the middle of that rain of joy the boy left the village…
He realized that the rain was the girl and felt sorrow….
So, he departure on a journey to find her lost heart…
"Hime look out!" I yelled as three; three pointed shields appeared around her, "What?"
That shape is…Santen Kesshun!
But how did it appear on its own?
"Captain Hitsugaya!" I quickly turned around to a group of hollows. That was god's shield…but she always sonly could make one. But I saw three…what does that mean?
All alone…
The girl was happy he talked to her…
But water cannot talk with the boy…
A blade appeared before Hime. I will be your shield and blade forever more.
Why? Why did you come back?
It is what my heart desired.
To be with me?
I am your blade and shield, I will never leave you ever again Sara-hime.
The girl became rain for him…
But the water cannot smile…
And she dispersed into water by his warmth…
Zephyrus…
Zephyr. You will call me Zephyr.
Zephyr, thank you…
Water soared like feathers and returned to the heavens…
Thank you so much for loving me…
I glared behind me to see a blade before Hime. It was fighting the hollow on its own, "Z-Zephyr?"
Can that really be…?
It's him. He was speaking with her.
How did he return?
This I do not know.
The girl was glad to become a blessing rain for the boy…
And she could smile for the first time…
As well as her body, her frozen heart might be thawed and melt into water…
Soon the hollow stopped appearing and the three of us turned toward hime.
Because the tears the boy shed were warm…
A light rain started to fall from the sky as hime took the blade into her arms and hugged it, "Zephyr…" She whispered, "Welcome back."
"What an ending to the tale." Urahara grinned staring out the window, "You saved so many lives but you are…" he whispered closing his eyes, "Do you feel it as well?" he asked out loud. "Kisuke!"
"Ah, Yoruichi-san welcome back!~"
"Did you feel it?"
"Ah yes, our little Hime-sama sure is growing into a heroine."
"You know that isn't what I meant!"
"…I know. What do you want me to say? What you know and I both know? What good would that do?" he asked her, "Kisuke…she can't recover from this no matter how much time she is given." She was right and he knew it. "I know."
But I'm sure she knew it before she started to save them. That was too much stress on your body Hime-sama.
I know…but I'll be alright!
Hime.
…
"Hime?" I asked as I helped her sit down, "Eh? Yes Captain Hitsugaya?" I started, "You look pale. Did that take more out of you than you thought?" I asked her quickly nodded to me. "Yeah, it did sorry."
"Rest you need it."
You know you can't fool him very long…
I know…
Hitsugaya knows you too well. You can't hide it.
But telling him something like this is…
He wouldn't take it well…right?
Yeah…
"….."
Was this fate? I'm still not sure. But no matter what I want to tell you a story. This is a story about a boy and a girl. But I plan to start at the end of this tale and not the beginning.
Why the end you ask?
Didn't you know? How a story ends is always the good part.
"You two are on hunting hollow duty for now, search the town!"
"Yes, Captain Hitsugaya!"
"What about Hime-sama?"
"I'm going to take her, somewhere she can rest."
The boy loved the girl with all his heart. His heart would always beat fast around her.
She meant the world to him.
The girl was exhausted. In body and mind but she would cling to the boy and also loved him very much.
She hated to be away from him.
The boy brought her to apartment close by and knocked on the door. "Toushirou-kun?" Inoue asked as she opened the door, "Inoue please. She needs to rest. So please…" She smiled. "Sure please come in."
Always watching, always looking out for her the boy was.
Like a guardian…
"Who is she?"
"She's…She's the spirit hime. Kaze Sara Hime…"
"Eh? She is? She looks so young!"
"Also…she's…"
The two met by fate or was it destiny?
A poor boy and a noble girl. What played the game in their meeting?
"My sister? I have a sister?"
"Yes, she is your sister."
"…Really?"
"She can use santekesshun too."
The girl was born with god's power to turn back time. It made her the target of many. It was a lonely life. The boy was lonely as well…he had trouble making friends.
But together the two didn't feel lonely anymore.
"You don't believe me do you?"
"Eh? No I believe you! If she really has the same power as me than she must be my sister!"
"Inoue."
"I want to talk to her." She started to walk up, "Hime?" I asked, "Hitsugaya?" She linked seeing Inoue beside him. "Hello!"
"H-Hi…" The reaction was fear at first but soon that changed. The two got along quickly.
"I-Inoue-san."
"Please call me Orihime! Okay Sara-one-san?"
"One-san?" Tears quickly ran from the girl's eyes finally getting to speak with her sister.
But…
"Eh? Why are you crying did I say something wrong?"
"No…I just I'm happy to finally talk to you, Orihime." But it was tears of happiness and it made the boy smile as the two sisters hugged.
The boy was happy for the girl. So very happy. Laughs quickly came from the two girls mouth. Both happy to get to meet each other; both happy to speak with one another. The boy smiled watching the two. But at the same time…he worried about the girl.
The two girls slept soundly side by side.
"Captain! Finally I was waiting all day for a call! Is everything alright?"
"Matsumoto tell me."
"Tell you what?"
"Last time she sang…she was exhausted and she passed out from it."
"What?"
"I didn't say this before but…after that so called spirit left her. She lost 80% of her reiatsu. If she uses too much energy like that again. It's is likely she will…" she started to say, "She will what?" I asked even if I knew the answer. "She will die."
The young girl fate was ill-fate. Everything had been against her even from the start. The boy didn't want to live without her. He felt like he couldn't. His heart was slowly breaking.
"Captain? Are you still there?"
"Yeah I am. Sorry Matsumoto but I'm hanging up."
"Wait a second Captain!"
The boy stared at his phone. He didn't want to believe it. More than anything he didn't want too!
"Sara…you gave everything up to save the humans. Why?" The boy knew she couldn't recover from this. The girl's body had too much stress in so little time. She can't recover…she can't. The boy prayed he prayed for her to be saved. Prayed for her to live! He wanted her to live!
But the boy's prayed when unanswered. There was nothing that could be done for the girl; and the boy knew this.
But he tried to be strong for her. He had to be strong for her…no for both of them. But how could he when he knew what the outcome would be?
"I don't know what to do."
Master?
"I can't. I can't live without her. I can't…if-if she really dies what will I do? How could I live than?"
Master…
"I can't…"
I just can't…
"Toushirou? Why are you still up?" the voice pieced through my thoughts so easy. That voice always could. "Sara…"
"Eh? You sound upset is something wrong?"
"You're dying aren't you?"
"….."
"Matsumoto told me if you did anymore to your body you would. So you are…aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Why do you have to push yourself this far?"
"Toushirou…"
"I don't want you to leave me alone!"
"…I'm sorry."
"That's all you can say to me?"
"It's not like I want to die! I'm scared. I'm so scared and I can't do anything to stop it!"
"Sara I…"
"I don't want to leave you as well! I want to be with you always but I can't be…"
"I'll give it up."
"What?"
"My seat as Captain…so I never have to leave you again."
"What? Are you sure?"
"I became a shinigami to follow you and than a captain to gain your attention."
The boy would follow the girl no matter where she when.
"I'm in no right of mind to be a Captain anymore, anyways."
"I see, are you sure about this Captain Hitsugaya?"
"Yes, sir captain commander. I have no right to lead the tenth squad any longer. My selfish reasons have won over all."
"I see…after everything that has happened I can say only one thing to you."
"And what is that sir?"
"Please take care of Kaze Sara Hime-sama for me."
"Yes sir, I plan too."
The boy picked his path to follow the girl forever more.
But this isn't the end it is the beginning of a new path for the boy and the girl.
