"4th seat Kumori! 4th seat Kumori," Yelled one of the new recruits as he ran over to Momo and Amelia. Amelia stepped forward watching as the new recruit who stumbled in front of her was trying to catch his breath.
"Where did you come from? You look as if you ran a 500 mile run-"
"Urgent Message from Captain Aizen Ma'am! He asks that you report to the squad 1 barracks immediately!"
Amelia nodded her head. "Good job Recruit. You're dismissed." The recruit then left leaving Amelia and Momo alone.
"Now if you excuse me Momo, I have to leave." Amelia said as she turned and left. Walking amongst the squad 1 barracks she noticed the faint smell of cherry blossoms and turned to see an ever so elegant Captain Kuchiki making his way towards her. His eyes shifted to her "4th Kumori, don't you have some business to attend too?"
She jumped "Oh! Um, yes your right Captain Kuchiki. I actually have-"
"Move along then, your blocking the way." He said as he walked passed Amelia brushing against her shoulder. She sighed 'Why is Captain Kuchiki always a grump?' She turned and followed behind the Captain of squad 6 to the room where the meeting was taking place. They stopped in front of the double doors and that's when Captain Kuchiki turned and looked down at Amelia's small form. She looked up at his face and smiled nervously. "Captain Kuchiki would you mind opening the doors? I'm kind of running a little late. Heh-heh." Amelia whispered hoping that the awkward tension building would cease.
"I was under the assumption you had left to return to your duties. What business to you have here 4th seat?"
"She is with me Captain Kuchiki."
Both Amelia and Captain Kuchiki turned to see a Captain Aizen approaching them. "Her presence was requested by Captain Yamamoto. It seems He has a special mission in mind for her." Aizen took a place next to Amelia, taking his hand and patting her head. Amelia lurched back "Captain, could you please stop?" He chuckled in response to her childish whining. The double doors that lead into the meeting room opened revealing that all the other captains had already took their place in the lineup. The three then entered the room filling in the empty gaps. Captain Yamamoto stepped forward and announced that there had been a disturbance in the world of the living and that 4th Kumori was going to leave to take care of the problem.
"Onto the next order of business-"
"Captain Yamamoto. May I ask a question?" Captain Yamamoto eyes darted at Captain Aizen, Only to have Aizen respond with a smile.
"Captain Aizen you should know better than to interrupt people while they are speaking."
Captain Aizen lightly laughed "Believe me Captain I have better manners than this but, how long might my 4th seat be out on this mission? She is quite busy with training the new recruits."
"She will be gone for two weeks unless she is able to complete the mission sooner." His eyes shifted over to Amelia "What are you waiting for girl? Leave, and take care of this annoyance. Now." And with that he took his staff in hand and tapped it roughly on the ground which sent a ringing noise throughout the halls. Amelia then nodded her and left to the world of the living. As she left Aizen watched and smiled 'ahh such a stupid girl' he thought.
Meanwhile, in the world of the living Shinji lay on the couch.
"When is Mashiro coming back? I'm starving." He moaned. "She'll be back any minute. Just be patience." replied Love shifting his eyes back to the new shonen jump.
"But she's been gone for twenty minutes now and-" That's when a hand grabbed Shinji face and flanged him across the room causing him to crash into some workout equipment. He sprang back up rubbing his face "What the hell was that for Hiyori?!"
"Oh shut it baldy! I'm tired of your complaining!" She barked
"I'm not bald idiot! Jeez Hiyori!" He sneered.
"Whatever baldy! Hey Love, when is Mashiro coming back? I'm hungry." Shinji eyes widened and his jaw dropped. 'You've got to be kidding me. This little brat…' he thought
"What the hell Hiyori! I just asked that!" Shinji yelled. That's when Hiyori whipped her head backwards towards Shinji. "Nobody heard what you said because nobody cares enough to listen to you complain baldy!" Shinji then shot Hiyori a dirty look and left to his room. Opening his door and shutting it behind him he fell on his bed and grabbed for a piece of a paper under his mattress. It was a picture of him and Amelia sitting with each other next to a nearby riverbank. Their faces smiling, his arms around her, and her face had a slight blush shimmering on her cheeks. He sighed and whispered "Only if you were with me now."
Amelia entered into the world of the living and looked around to see if she could see a hollow. Looking around all she could see was trees, a playground, and people. Before she could decide what to do next she felt a tug on her right pant leg and heard a mousy voice call out to her. "Why are you dressed in a kimono? It's not Halloween yet Miss White hair lady."
Looking down Amelia saw a little girl with two pig tails and huge purple eyes looking up at her. Her eyes widened and she frantically looked around herself and bent down so that she was at eye level with the little girl. She leaned close into the little girl and whispered "You can see me?"
The little girl blinked in disbelief "Yeah. Are you old? My mommy told me that old people have grey hair and forget lot things. Like when Halloween is, also you have white hair so that must mean that you're really old and forgetful." Amelia raised an eyebrow "Oh really? Well, you can tell your mommy that-"
"Yuki!" A lady approached the two of them and Yuki turned to the lady and said. "Sorry mommy, I was just was making sure Miss White hair lady knew that it wasn't Halloween yet. "
The lady grew worried and grabbed Yuki's hand "That's nice sweetie. But it's time to go home. Go tell your imaginary friend that you have to leave now." Yuki then waved goodbye to Amelia and left. Amelia was dumbfounded, 'how did that little girl see me?' She then got up and walked over to a sign in front of the playground.
She read it aloud "Welcome to Karakura Town Park." she blinked, confused about this 'Karakura town' sighing she found a bench and sat down. "This is going to be quite the mission. Thanks Captain Yamamoto."
