Chapter IV
Free Time…
-Italics- one's dream/vision/thought?
-Bold- thought/talking to one's mind
Riku found himself held onto a tower. In front of him, Sora was held unconsciously. Riku realized that both of his hand was tied tightly so it's no use for him to summon his keyblade right now. He scanned around; seemed like they were in a very different world. The sky was so dark while the ground was rocky.
"Finally, you're awake." Someone stated. Riku turned at the voice, seeing the same man that had made him unconscious. Riku glared at him angrily. His eyes filled with hatred.
"What do you want from us?" He yelled both furiously and loudly. The man only chuckled and walked around the tower.
"What do I want?" he said playfully. Before Riku could blink, the man had appeared in front of him, standing at the top of the tower that held Sora. "Guess what?"
Riku scowled. "Our keyblade, huh?" he mocked. The man only shook his head but still wore his smiling face.
"Wrong!" he said it playfully but with a sneering tone. He squatted a little so that he could ruffle Sora's hair. Riku was angered by his action.
"Don't you dare to touch him even a single strand of hair!" he screamed at him out loud. The man smiled wickedly at him. He gave Riku an oh-really look.
"I need him the most. He's the key to our success." He stood up again and jumped down. He turned his back against the tower but stopped for a moment.
"By the way, my name is Ichimaru Gin. Why do I tell you? You'll see!" he said as he turned his had to the silvered-hair keyblade master. "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu ne..." he said wickedly and glanced over him from the corner of his eyes. "Riku-san…" with that, he left, leaving the young keyblade masters alone. Riku stared at the blonde boy sadly. He was scared to lost Sora again. He determined not to. He sighed and tried to release his rope.
Never did he become this powerless…
Roxas was sweating all over but his face looked plain. He opened his eyes slowly. He found himself lying on, somewhat like, hospital's bed. Next to him, a bunch of flower lied. He could barely see a card slipped between the petals. He slowly lifted his head up.
"Where am I..." he mumbled. He heard someone's footsteps. He turned at the door, seeing Namine and Aoikira stood there. Namine looked glad while Aoikira only smiled.
"Roxas!" Namine cried happily as she hugged him. Roxas was amazed. Aoikira chuckled a bit and brought some fruits. She laid it on his side.
"Feeling better?" she asked him. Roxas nodded a bit though he didn't know what had exactly happened.
"Err…what happen? Where is this?" he asked a bit confused. Namine released her hug. Roxas saw her sadness filled in her both eyes. She buried her head onto his chest deeply.
"Please don't do that again! You can be killed! Challenging Nenke-fukutaichou like that!" she cried. Roxas sighed. Aoikira tapped her back. She then turned at Roxas.
"Roxas, what is your deal with Nenke?" she said sternly. Roxas glanced at her.
"Nothing. She attacked me first so I held on." He said bitterly and tapped Namine's shoulder who was, still crying. "It's okay Namine. I'm fine, really!" he said reassuring Namine so that she stopped crying. Namine lifted her head. She still sobbed. Aoikira sighed.
"C'mon. Hanatarou will take care of him." She said. Namine seemed to not want to leave Roxas' side. But after Aoikira dragged her, she stood and left Roxas, leaving the injured keyblade master alone.
Roxas smiled reassuringly at Namine. Namine gave him a faint smile and closed the door. Roxas stared through the window. Nothing. Only birds chirping here and there. No one was there.
This place is too quiet...
-----------------------------------------------
Kagami walked on the corridors of 6th division. He just had got up and tended his injured shoulder which he got from his last mission. He didn't know where to go. His shoulder was burning from pain. He didn't seem to notice that a blonde shinigami was also walking towards him. Well, automatically they bumped on to each others. As the result, they fell. The blonde shinigami rubbed her head and so did Kagami.
"Baka! Can't you see where you are going!" she screamed. Kagami ignored her though and stood up. "Oh? Our genius, Kagami. Well, well, well…" she sneered
"Yeah, yeah…Gomen Nasai Larxene-senpai…" he said as he passed her with ignorance. Larxene temper rose. She threw kunai at him but missed a few centimeters from his hair. Kagami realized it quickly and off with his shunpou. Larxene saw him landed on the top of the roof. Larxene cursed it.
"I don't have time with you…" he yelled coldly at Larxene and ran again with his shunpou. His eyes shone hatred. Larxene stunned at his doing. Particularly, she's in the 5th seat of 6th squad while Kagami is in the 7th seat of 6th squad, trained personally by Byakuya. Isn't it a bit disrespectful to treat a senior like that?
"I'll let you off for now, Kagami." She mumbled as she walked through the corridors, trying to reach Byakuya's office.
Kagami still ran off with his shunpou, seemingly trying to go from Larxene as far as he could. He clenched his left injured shoulder which he got from his last mission and gritted his teeth. His shoulder had turned red.
It is burning with anguish pain…
Quickly, he changed his direction, knowing where to go: the 4th division.
-----------------------------------------------
Nenke was sleeping soundly on her bed. Next to her, stood Shikachi who was reading a report. Nenke slowly opened her eyes. She felt her body shattered. She's too tired to get up right now.
"I told you not to use demon art technique when in shikai state." Shikachi said as she folded the report and walked away to the table. She made some tea and poured it to 2 cups; one for her and the other for Nenke. She put Nenke's next to her bed. Shikachi sipped her tea. "You have not recovered from the last mission."
Nenke smiled bitterly. She tried to sit against the wall and hardly reached her tea. She only stared at the tea blankly. "What about you? I thought you should be the one who get scolded like that. After that Ichimaru…" Nenke shut up after she was given a death glare from Shikachi. She turned chibi and sipped her tea once more.
"Anyway…" Shikachi continued her words. "I had this report. I haven't told this to Ukita, though." She said. Nenke turned at her. The sun had already set again.
"What report?" she asked curiously. Her eyes were filled with curiosity. She gripped her blanket tightly. Shikachi sipped her tea again.
"About Sora." She replied and put her tea. Nenke seemed to be stunned but hid it perfectly. She looked at her meaningfully, waiting her captain, or rather, her friend, to continue her words.
"It seems like he disappeared. We lost track him and his partner, Riku." Shikachi said seriously. Nenke knew what the meaning of this was. She sipped her tea again and sighed.
"You expect me to make a new team to search for them, am I right?" Nenke asked her. Shikachi gave a slight nod. "Why is it me? Ukita could do better than me."
Shikachi glanced at her at firstly but replied her question. She held her teacup loosely, bored. "First, there's no one – well actually, Ukita would be perfect but she's busy right now – except you who can arrange the team deciding from their abilities. Second, you're Roxas mentor. My point is that you enter him. Third, you're my friend from time to time. I trust you."
Nenke smiled a bit. She loosened her grip on her blanket and stared at the window. Silence clashed the room until Shikachi broke it. "So, will you?"
Nenke turned her head on Shikachi. A big smile slipped between her lips.
"Sure! Why not!"
-----------------------------------------------
Roxas just stared blankly at the window, not realizing that the time had halted again. He realized it when he saw the birds were not chirping any longer.
"Hey."
Roxas turned over to the source of the voice. He could saw the boy he had seen before. Roxas stared at him blankly. He approached Roxas.
"Oh, It's you." He said expressionless though his hand clutched his blanket tightly, signaling he was frustrated. Kail sighed.
"Don't be so cold! It's neither you nor my fault that the heartless appeared." He defended himself. Roxas turned his head to the window, tried to evade Kail's glare. His eyes showed frustration. Kail sighed again.
"I know it's frustrating. You feel like you're being used again, aren't you? Like when you're in the organization." He mumbled and stood up in front of the window, blocking Roxas' vision. Roxas glared at Kail and snapped, "Stop reading my mind!"
"I can't help it. You're the one who share it unconsciously." He replied in monotone. Roxas turned from him, signaling his defeat. Kail sighed again.
"Listen! I don't know what's up with you but…" Kail smiled a bit and continued his words. "…thank you for everything." Roxas blinked, seemingly not to catch his word. Before he could ask his keyblade – or his keyblade's form, Kail had already disappeared. Roxas mumbled angrily, not satisfied. Shortly after, he heard someone's footsteps. A person was approaching to his room. He turned his head to the door and leaned back to the bed, waiting the person to enter his room.
The person entered. Roxas' eyes went big. That person, that fiery hair and those emerald eyes...the one he had seen before, stood there on the door. He grinned widely like a mad man.
"Hey Roxas! It seemed like you've been beaten up quite badly!" he grinned. Roxas only chuckled a bit.
"Axel…"
-----------------------------------------------
Namine and Aoikira were walking on a deserted corridor of 14th division. Well, it wasn't deserted anymore since Namine was still worried and sometimes tripped her feet because of her daydreaming, forcing Aoikira to alert her every time she daydreamed.
"I assured you for them 10th time, Namine! Roxas will be fine! 4th squad is famous for its healing techniques! He'll be fine!" Aoikira yelled at her. This time, she also grabbed Namine on the hand because she's GONNA tripped her feet again. She pulled Namine so that she could stand on her feet.
"Gomen Nasai, Aoikira-san. I just worried about his condition. Challenging Nenke-fukutaichou like that… he could have been killed!" she squirmed. Aoikira sighed.
"No." she said calmly. Namine turned at her, puzzled. "Nenke never killed a person with Shikai. She will use Bankai. Want to know why?" Namine nodded. Aoikira sighed again, "Because, her shikai is meant to test someone's skill, not to kill one. It doesn't have the ability for it."
"Oh…" Namine only looked at her. They had been walking towards Aoikira's room. Aoikira was going to teach her a healing demon art since Natsume was too busy even to teach his own subordinates and Ukita was still busy, hit by her fukutaichou.
The deserted corridor was no longer deserted when suddenly, Ren came up. He brought a basketful of flower. It's various through lilies to roses. He saw Namine and his senior and smiled happily.
"Namine-chan! What are you doing in my squad?" he chirped. Aoikira only shook her head. Every time she met Ren, He always chirped first. She admitted that Ren is a gifted shinigami, but he's over energetic for her to handle. The last time she introduced him to her squad, she chirped and yelled all the way, almost like a bird.
"Oh, I'm going to learn a healing technique. We'll need it for the next mission, won't we? Beside the success ratio will go up!" She smiled. Aoikira, feeling unnoticed, coughed. She got their attention.
"By the way, what are you going to do with those flowers?" she asked him. Ren only pointed his finger to the flowers. "You mean these?" he asked back. Aoikira nodded while Namine only listened to their conversation.
"These flowers are for Nenke-fukutaichou. I heard she had battled Roxas. Is it true? Well, I won't be so shocked if Roxas failed or lose. Besides, Nenke-fukutaichou has never lost until now." He said. Aoikira stared at him sharply. Ren was annoyed by her looks. "What…?"
"Well, if you really want to know, Roxas passed and able to summon his zanpakutou – or should I say his keyblade." Aoikira said calmly. Ren's jaws fell, signaling his shock ness.
"No way! Nenke-fukutaichou never lost!" he yelled at her unbelievably. Aoikira chuckled a bit.
"I didn't say that Nenke lost! I said Roxas was able to summon his zanpakutou." She said correcting Ren's word. Ren growled softly while Namine only grinned for the first time.
"Oh, come on, Aoikira-san. How come Nenke-fukutaichou lied on her bed now if Roxas hadn't been pushing her?" she said. Aoikira placed an oh-yeah face. Ren smirked.
"Well, I'm going now. See you!" he said as he walked past the two. Aoikira snapped from her thought.
"Ren!" she suddenly yelled at him. Ren only turned his back over. "I'm coming with you. I've got to see her face!" she beamed. Namine scowled.
"But how about my training?" Namine only looked at her mischievous face. Aoikira tapped her back. "Don't worry! We'll begin it after we visit her!" Namine was about to grumble but smirked anyway. Aoikira didn't have to wait her reply because she had grinned excitingly; so exciting that Namine sweat-dropped. Ren sighed a bit.
"Let's go!" Aoikira finally said the word.
-----------------------------------------------
"So, I saw you walking with Larxene the other day. What's got into you?" Roxas asked the red head interrogatively. Axel only chuckled.
"No biggy. We've been in a mission together and Larxene saved my butt." He grunted. Roxas only grinned widely. Axel only scowled, "what's so funny about!"
Roxas laughed. "The fact is that you were saved by a girl! It's okay if other girls save you – because I'm pretty positive they'd fallen over you, but for crying out loud! Larxene! She's not a type of girl who will save someone like that!" Axel grumbled and took a pillow. He slammed it to Roxas' head, making the patient leaned back to his bed. Roxas grunted.
"Stay like that like a good patient." He grumbled. Roxas only murmured a bit and rubbed his head. Silence crashed the room. Axel was the one who broke it with a sigh.
"Now, tell me. What's got into you?" he said. Roxas blinked confusedly.
"About what?" he asked Axel, not sure what was he talking about. Axel slammed his hand to the nearest wall since he sat near one.
"Don't play dumb! You challenged Nenke! One of some fukutaichou who could summon bankai! What were you thinking?" Axel yelled as he stood up, head to head with Roxas. Roxas felt a sudden urge to shut Axel up for the first time in his life. His temper reached his critical status.
"Well, I don't! Who would think that she will attack me like that! I had to stand for my life!" he screamed back. Axel looked at him unbelievably. "Say that again? Nenke attacked you?" he asked. Roxas angrily nodded. Axel noticed that there's no lie within his eyes. He leaned back onto his seat.
"Well…" Axel said. "It means that you're her favorite. No one had been treated like that ever since." he said again. Roxas sighed and asked again.
"Is everyone – I mean the former member of Jyuusan Kikan – also entered this realm?" he asked curiously. Axel scowled.
"Umm…Not everybody. So far, I've only met Larxene, Marluxia – who is still a bastard, and Demyx. I still can't stand his chirps." He replied. Roxas sighed in relief.
"Where were they put at?" he asked again. Axel only mumbled this time.
"Larxene at 6th division, I'm the same as Larxene, Marluxia at 4th division - I can't believe he became a healer after getting his scythe back! - And for Demyx – he's just in, he was at 10th division. I just can't wait to see Captain 'little' 's face when he chirped here and there, playing his music with his sitar!" he said excitedly. Without their notice, Hitsugaya was already stood in front of the door, hearing every word that Axel had splattered. When did he arrive, they don't know. Roxas turned chibi, seeing the 10th squad captain stood there; angry, mad, and embarrassed. He pulled Axel's shinigami uniform sleeve. Axel only turned his head to the blonde boy, seeing his chibi tears.
"What?" he asked the teen. Roxas only pointed his finger to Hitsugaya who was absolutely furious. Axel turned at Hitsugaya and turned blue. "Oh, that's bad…" he said as he jumped from the window before Hitsugaya could ever freeze him at his place. Hitsugaya looked at the window, seeing him running through the road.
"Come back here, Axel!" he yelled but Axel ignored him. Hitsugaya only sighed. Roxas was sweat-dropped. Hitsugaya only passed Roxas but stopped on the door. He turned at Roxas.
"If you're quite well to walk now, meet Shikachi tonight at her office. She's going to give you whatever it is. Her business was not mine to be concerned so don't asked why." Hitsugaya said coldly and sharply. It made Roxas shivered a bit. He went out from Roxas' room. Not feeling his reiatsu anymore, Roxas leaned against the bed.
"Tonight, huh?"
-----------------------------------------------
Shikachi was walking through 3rd squad headquarter. She was going to see Ukita to report her discovery since the last time; they were busied by Roxas' test. She stopped in front of Ukita's office. Before she could enter, Shichi had already opened the door and rushed away, stumbled at her.
"Ah, gomen nasai, Shikachi-taichou! We have an emergency! Sorry!" she said in panic as she rushed through the corridors. Shikachi only blinked confusedly. "What's up with her?" she thought, stood up and enter the room.
"Hi, Ukita." She said plainly. Ukita's status was bad. She had more lines below her eyes. It's obvious that she had been working a lot without sleeping. Her eyes were not focus. Shikachi automatically swung her hand before her but she didn't react. Ukita was still on her state, looking outside with no focus. Shikachi sighed and took a glass of water, poured it to Ukita's head. Ukita groaned.
"There's no need to be that stress…" Shikachi said. Ukita only stood up and shoved her so that she could walk to the basin. Shikachi only moved from her position as Ukita washed her face. Ukita then spoke, "What is it?" her tone was slumbered as if she was the only one who gets the worst part of work.
"We lost track of both Sora and Riku." She said quietly. Ukita turned at her, shocked. She sat on her seat again, this time, with a serious face.
"When?" she asked Shikachi interrogatively as she pulled out a piece of paper from her box and grabbed her pen. She started to write. Shikachi only sighed at her sudden act.
"Some days ago. No traced of them. The only thing that was left was a huge trace of reiatsu. And guess what! It belongs to no one, none other than-"
"Ichimaru?" Ukita cut her words. She could see an upset glimpse from both her eyes. "Smart one…" she thought. Ukita sighed and stood up. "I understand. I will report this as quickly as possible to Yama-jii. You recommend a search squad, right?" she asked. Shikachi was startled by her sharpness but hid it anyway.
"It's not necessary. I've already asked Nenke for it. Just give me the assignment paper to give to the team so that you can work at your paper again." She said as she pointed her finger onto her paperwork. Ukita groaned slightly.
"You're mean! You should have told me about that report so I can slip from this work!" She grunted. Shikachi's eyebrows twitched.
"You're the one who didn't want to hear it in the first place since you're too excited for Roxas' sparring." She retorted, making the other shinigami growled unsatisfied. She finished writing and handed the paper to her.
"Here. Just give it to the search team." She handed the paper grumpily and yawned. Shikachi smiled and turned. Ukita stopped her; spoke "By the way, whom did you recommend?"
Shikachi stopped. She turned at Ukita. A big wide grin slipped between her lips. "Can you guess who?" Ukita could see her mischievous glimpse. She sighed heavily and leaned at her chair.
"Roxas, huh?"
-----------------------------------------------
Kagami was walking towards the front door of 4th squad. He quickly entered the building and went to one of the healer.
"I have to meet the head healer squad! Fast!" he yelled. Seeing that Kagami's shoulder was bleeding heavily, the shinigami seemed to understand the situation and dashed through the corridor. His vision turned rather blurry. Kagami cursed it as he walked towards the nearest seat and leaned there. "Damn it! Just because of this stupid injury and my sickness…" he cursed mentally. He waited there, on the deserted room. It seemed like no one was sick after all. He heard someone's footsteps and turned at the source.
"Kagami Nozomi, I presumed; the 7th seat from 6th squad. Lucky number though…" the man said firstly. He had a lilac (was it pink?) messy hair. Kagami only stared at him but smiled sneeringly.
"Yeah, it's me." Kagami only replied him blankly. He turned from him. "What's the deal, Marluxia?"
Marluxia smiled viciously and spoke, "well, the last time you needed my help, you traded your precious scroll. I will help you of course, if-"
"I trade something for it. I've always hoped that you could stop saying that and shut the hell up! I knew what I'm doing!" Kagami cut him. Marluxia only sighed.
"Fine…what will you trade for?" he asked grumpily. Kagami only took out a kunai out from his bag and tossed it over to Marluxia.
"Karasumaru; It's both swift and highly deadly. It's my pride and also contains histories from generations." Kagami only said that words. Marluxia only scanned for a moment until he decided to put it inside his pocket.
"This will do." He said as he came, approaching Kagami. "I have to tend your wounds first before Unohana-taichou comes here and kicks us out like the other day because of your yelling." He grunted. Kagami only smirked in victory.
"Thanks."
-----------------------------------------------
"8.30…" Roxas mumbled softly. He had gone to Shikachi's office but it seemed that there's no sign of her. He only waited outside her office and sat on a wooden chair, looking at her beautiful garden filled with lilies and other flowers. It remembered him about Marluxia's. His eyes went rather blurry because he's tired, remembering that he is not really okay and need some sleep. Still, he went as Hitsugaya said.
His eyes were so heavy that he could sleep there, right here, right now, not concerning surrounding. Finally, He decided that a little sleep never hurts him. He fell asleep; entered his dream world…
"Hey kid…" a man spoke. Roxas could hear him clearly as if the person was right next to him, though there's no one there. Roxas turned his head all over but found no one. Everything is pitched black.
"Who are you?" he asked the voice. His voice only echoed through the pitched black room.
"Who are you?" the voice asked Roxas back. Roxas felt a bit annoyed and decided to summon his keyblade but stopped as he felt a hand grabbed his own hand. He turned and saw Kail stood next to him, looking upwards. He then turned at Roxas and shook his head.
"Don't…" he said calmly. Roxas only stared at him, not knowing what he meant; or at least, what he thought. Kail only grabbed Roxas' hand tighter as a blinding light revealed a path leading to something. Kail only smiled at Roxas and leaded him across. Roxas hesitantly followed him.
They found their selves standing in front of a round, huge machine, almost like the one which held Sora asleep. Kail and Roxas stopped walking. Roxas only looked at the machine disbelievingly because of its size. He felt Kail pulling his hand. Roxas turned at him a bit annoyed. Kail only smiled at him.
"Guess what to do…" he only said that and turned into ashes. Roxas startled by his action and found out he grabbed his Oathkeeper. Every time he summoned it, it made him safe. Roxas only smirked.
"What to do, huh?" he said as he charged at the machine, making it crumbled and opened forcefully. Roxas was about to draw his keyblade back but halted as he saw an orange-haired teen was sealed within the machine. He looked like asleep and appeared to be a shinigami because of his shinigami uniform.
"Good work…" Kail said, making Roxas a bit startled. "Still, isn't it time for you to go?"
Roxas snapped from his thought and realized that he's not on the solid ground anymore and the machine had already disappeared. He's back at the total darkness.
"Roxas!" someone yelled at him. Roxas felt a huge pressure slammed against his body. He shot his eyes open and saw Shikachi who was shaking him badly. Shikachi released her grip and leaned against the nearest wall. Roxas only rubbed his eyes, signaling that he was tired.
"Back to the real world, huh?" she grinned and patted his hair. Roxas felt annoyed and shoved her hand. Shikachi only grinned wider.
"Stop that!" Roxas said annoyed. Seeing her grin made him grunted. Shikachi only stopped grinning as she felt someone's presence around.
"It is okay, Kagami. You can reveal yourself." Shikachi spoke. Roxas didn't really knew what she meant until a raven-haired shinigami showed himself. The shinigami went out from his hideout, bushes; simple classical place to hide. Kagami only stood there emotionless.
"It's better to be a very good mission, Shikachi-taichou, or else you wouldn't summon me in this late night." He said emotionlessly. Shikachi only chuckled.
"Well, what do you expect? I could finish this mission faster than you but I also have to leave my paperwork. Elite would be perfect to do this kind of job." Shikachi replied. Kagami turned at Roxas coldly. He didn't seem to take interest on Roxas. He simply turned away from him, making Roxas sweat-dropped because his action.
"What's wrong with him?" Roxas thought. He snapped out from his thought as he felt a big amount of reiatsu. He didn't know whose reiatsu it is until the person also came out. To his surprise, it was Namine, Ren, and Aoikira. All of them slightly panted, exhausted from their last shunpou.
"We received your order, ma'am!" Aoikira said. Shikachi smiled satisfied.
"Well, since the elites are here…" she said as her hand picked out a paper and do some seal with her hands. She drew on the ground and murmured some sorts of mantra. Shortly after, a hologram appeared, revealing 3 figures whom Roxas and also Namine noticed even though only 2 of them.
Sora and Riku…
Ren looked like notice only one of them while Kagami only looked at the hologram.
"…why don't we just discuss the meeting?" Shikachi said calmly. Roxas stared at her unbelievably while Namine glared with confusions buried within her stare. Kagami was still looking at the 3rd person who has short silver hair. Ren only stared at it; afraid.
"Wait a minute! Just when you decided that I'm elite! I mean, I just stayed here for 1 or 2 days! And why is it with Sora? Are they in this?" Roxas yelled. Shikachi only squatted down to sit on the ground and sighed. Kagami decided that it has been enough time to look at the hologram and listened to the meeting. Ren also did the same.
"Since you could summon your keyblade and you are special. Nenke already recommended you and Namine since your first arrival and I really saw what she means. So, back to the business. Aoikira please picked some flowers from my garden and delivered it to Nenke. I haven't picked them yet!" she could hear Aoikira grunted but she did it anyway. Shikachi sighed again.
"Let's see. Elite squad, you've got two new members namely, Namine and Roxas. Hope you all can work together as a team. For your mentor…" she said as she picked her paper and read it carefully. "…is Hyuura Nenke, 14th squad fukutaichou. Yes, Roxas…your mentor again." Shikachi stopped for a moment seeing that Roxas grumbled about the decision. Namine slightly chuckled and Kagami smirked for the first time. Ren grinned.
"So, up to business. You're going to…" she said as she waved her hands making a seal again. Shortly after, the hologram only revealed the S-criminal, silver-haired shinigami, none other than Ichimaru. "…find out what is his true purpose namely, Ichimaru Gin. You'll have to find his record yourself. Also…" for the 2nd time, she made seal again with her hands. Then, Sora and Riku's hologram appeared before their eyes.
The night seemed to be as silent as oblivion. No one cut her words, not even Roxas with his tons of Question. They all only sat on the ground quietly, listening to the 14th squad captain.
"…You, four of you, are to track Sora and Riku. They've been missing for the last few days. I've got a hunch that Ichimaru and Aizen are in this. Your mission will start next week. Until then…" she said as she snapped her finger, making 4 portals behind each of them.
"…Train hard!" she grinned mischievously as she in front of each of them and slammed them into the portal. For Kagami, he already entered the portal before Shikachi could lay a finger on him. Roxas and the others ended up slammed onto their beds.
Roxas grunted and rubbed his head. It hurts since he first landed with his head. He finally eased the pain and decided to get some sleep, in hope that tomorrow will be better than today.
He buried his face onto his pillow and fell asleep.
Not noticing that someone had been watching him all over…

A/N: Bahh! This chapter is lame! I don't have anything to write! Gimme some ideas!
Oh yeah, forgot to tell you all! Aoikira is also my friend's character, Shinta. Gomen kudasai for the lateness!
-Review? No? Yes? No? Yes? Definitely must!-
