Now lets' get on with the chapter! ^^ Hikari is being a pessimist and little Shiro is getting worried over her. Aw, how cute…..! Ok, you're probably annoyed of me so lets' get on with the chapter!
Chapter 19: You and Me
I was finally able to get out of that confined Squad 4 hospital. I've been in there way too many times. It's like I'm a hospital magnet. How would you like going to a hospital every month, even if you're not technically sick? Yeah, it would be annoying.
"I thought I'd NEVER get out of there!" I said as I stretched. It was a nice, November day.
"Kaori-chan!" I heard a loud, girly, high pitched scream. I froze and turned my head. My reaction was late and I was super glomped by the lieutenant of Squad 11, Yachiru.
"Lieutenant Y-Yachiru…what the….." For a little midget, she has an insane glomp. Maybe she got a good amount of speed.
"Kaori-chan, this is your third time being in the hospital!"
"No…it was my second. Um…how do you know me, Lieutenant Yachiru?"
The little, pink haired lieutenant got off me. "Everyone in the Gotei 13 knows about you, Kaori-chan!"
"Wha…? I've only been in the Gotei 13 for like….a few months."
"Matsumoto tells all the lieutenants about you and your adventures!"
"……" There are times when you wonder if Rangiku is on your side or on their side.
"Hm…I wonder what I should nickname you…."
"I'd rather not have a nickname, Yachiru."
"But it'll be fun!"
"Um…no thanks."
"Kill joy." Then, Yachiru had an idea. "That's your nickname! Kill Joy!"
"WHAT? I am not a kill joy!"
"Yeah you are!"
"Hm…the only reason why I'm a kill joy is because I didn't want you to give me a nickname. Well, if you give me a nickname, then I'm NOT a kill joy."
"…….."
"Do you see my logic there, Yachiru?"
"No. BYE BYE KILL JOY!" She ran away, leaving me to have a strong anxiety to snap that girl's head off.
"I always wonder how she's a lieutenant…of Squad 11…." I shook the thought away. There was something that I had to do before anything else.
XxXxXx
"Kaori?"
"What's up, Kagawa?" I walked up to his desk. "I need to go back to the Human World."
"You just got out of the hospital. Are you sure it's safe for you to go out onto the field?"
"I'm the third seat of Squad 10. I'm pretty sure that I can easily go onto the field and not get hurt or whatever."
"Well, let me see…I'm a lieutenant and you're a third seat. I don't even have to go to Captain-Commander to ask if you should go to the human world."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm sayin' that you can't go to the human world. Captain-Commander would say the same thing too!"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, really."
"Then go and tell him that I want to resume my mission."
"Alright then."
He got up from his chair and walked to the Captain Commander's office. I sat down on his chair and waited. I mean, there's no problem with me kicking my feet on his desk and chillin' right?
In a few minutes, Masahiko came out with an "I can't believe it" look. I had a smirk on my face as I turned to look at him.
"So, how did it go, Kagawa?"
"…..Get off my desk, Kaori."
"Not until you tell me what Captain-Commander said. Tell me that I was so right."
"Ugh, fine. You can go to the human world."
"HA! WHAT DID I TELL YOU, KAGAWA?"
"Shut up."
I stuck my tongue out, jumped over his desk, and ran out of the Squad One admin office. See how totally awesome I am?
XxXxXx
Matsumoto was having a party with Madarame and Ayasegawa and I was working on some paperwork that the Gotei 13 gave me until I heard my phone ring. It was from the Lieutenant of Squad 1, Kagawa Masahiko. What does he want? I answered it.
"What is it, Lieutenant Kagawa?"
"If you don't mind me asking…Isn't your third seat named Kaori Hikari?"
"Yes and why do you need to know?"
"Um…Well, she's coming back to the human world."
"Is she in good condition to come here?" I suddenly had worry all over my face.
"Apparently, er, she claims she is."
"If Captain-Commander says she can return, then I have nothing to say."
I didn't like the sound of the news though. I saw how badly her wound was. It's impossible for her to come….
Suddenly, the senkai gate appeared. I didn't want to know who was coming….Unfortunately, I heard the voice of the girl that brought me both entertainment….and troublesome issues.
"SHIRO-CHAN!"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT, HIKA-"
I felt her weight on me in a quick second.
"I really missed you! Geez, the hospital is no place for me!"
"Get off of me, Hikari!"
"Oh, don't be such a mood killer, Shiro!"
"Don't call me Shiro!"
"But I haven't seen you in so looooooong!"
"It's only been a week."
"BUT IT FELT LIKE A MONTH!"
I kicked the girl off and she started to laugh. Then, I realized something. Hikari, even with the craziness going on around her, she's happier than ever... But I couldn't help but wonder why she has such a change of mood. Knowing her, she would be in a horrible mood. Then again, she is a really strange person.
Suddenly, the door opened and Matsumoto dashed in, her face bright.
"Hikari! I felt your reitsu when I was walking back here! Oh my gosh! You look so healthy!"
Hikari jumped on Matsumoto, actually giving her a hug. "I missed you so much, Matsumoto! You wouldn't BELIEVE what I had experienced in that stupid pansy hospital!"
"Hey, did you know…"
The two started chit chatting and going into their own world. I stared at Hikari and not only realized that she was happier, but I realized that I actually did miss her. I was worried, but to see her with a new face of optimism made me think differently. I couldn't help but smile with her.
"I missed you, too…Hikari." I murmured. "This time, I won't let anything bad happen to you. It'll be just you and me, no matter what."
XxXxXx
"Is something wrong, Akemi-sama?" Lita asked.
"No, it is nothing." I replied.
I was not happy with Lita almost killing Hikari. I didn't want to tell her that for the most obvious reason…
-Flashback-
"Akemi-sama! Akemi-sama!" I saw Lita running towards me with an energetic vibe. Something good must have happened…I turned to face the window.
"Did you finish the mission so soon?"
"Yes ma'am!"
"So how did it go?"
"I killed her, Akemi-sama! I killed the blasted Kaori Hikari!"
My eyes widened. She did what? I stayed silent and I could feel Lita's energetic vibe begin to disappear.
"Akemi-sama…? Did I do something wrong?"
I shook my head. "I'm fine, Lita. You did a good job."
Her vibe returned and after I got my face neutral, I turned to face her. She was kneeling, her head down.
"Thank you, Akemi-sama! I'm glad that I didn't let you down."
I wanted to tell her the truth; I wanted to tell her that she was a fool and deserved to die for Hikari's sake. But seeing her so happy…I couldn't tell her.
-end of flashback-
But after she had left, I knew that she was alive. Hikari was alive…But now, I realized that by this time, she must want to return back to the human world, ready to fight. If she comes back, she'll want to fight. If she fights, there is a high percentage that she will die….
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." I called as Lita got up. Then, Ichimaru appeared.
"Usagi, there's a meetin' and Aizen-taicho needs ya."
"So be it."
I walked out the door.
XxXxX
"Sorry, Lil' Lita. Aizen-taicho don't want you to be here." Ichimaru told me. I was surprised.
"W-Why can't I be with Akemi-sama?" I asked.
Ichimaru shrugged and walked off, shutting the door behind him.
XxXxX
As I walked towards Aizen's meeting room, some of the other espadas were there.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Aizen-sama is making a new arrancar."
"Aw, how boring." I sat next to Tia and watched as Aizen walked towards the hogyoku. Aizen took the orb and slightly unlocked its power. In a flash, a new arrancar was born.
"Welcome, brother." Aizen said. "Tell your brothers and sisters your name."
"Wonderwise…."
Well that's a strange name…
Afterwards, Wonderwise was given a set of clothes and he left with Tousen. When the newbie was gone, we all stood up and began to leave.
"Usagi, I'd like to talk to you for a minute." I heard Aizen say before I could leave the room.
"Crap…" I thought, stopped in my tracks, and turned, plastering my neutral face. "Yes sir?"
"Why did you send your fraccion to the human world?"
"No reason, sir."
"I know you well enough that you wouldn't just send your subordinates for no reason."
A scary silent filled the room. Aizen smirked.
"Is it because of that shinigami girl?"
At that moment, I knew what my lie would be. I stared at Aizen.
"Because she knows valuable information about the invasion, I found her as a threat. So I took quick and supposedly subtle action, via bring my fraccion to the real world to eliminate the threat."
"Now how could she know this valuable information? I certainly didn't tell her."
"Her captain probably told her."
Another, but not as scary, silence filled the air. Aizen's smirk faded.
"I see. So I guess my assumptions are wrong." He responded and started walked towards the door.
"Assumptions my a**." I thought.
"But remember your place….Squad 2 lieutenant."
"I'm not part of the Gotei 13 anymore."
XxXxXx
I was right outside the door. Akemi-sama….was part of the Gotei 13? I was walking towards the room since I saw all the other espadas going to their rooms and I didn't see Akemi-sama. So, I went to find her. Aizen-sama saw me and started to say "But remember your place…Squad 2 lieutenant." I saw Aizen-sama smirk.
"Tell that to your fraccion, Usagi." He said and walked away. I took a deep breath and walked to the door entry. She was facing me, her eyes widened. It was like her mask was broken and I saw a new figure in front of me. I was taught that all the espada and arrancar here used to be hollows. She was a SHINIGAMI, our mortal enemy but turned into an espada. I felt hurt inside but at the same time, everything started to come together. She was always so quiet when I asked her certain questions and unlike most arrancars, she doesn't show her hollow hole. Then again, Harribel doesn't show her hollow hole…hm….
"How much do you know?" She asked. I looked down.
"Enough to know that you're a shinigami."
"WAS a shinigami. I'm an espada now."
"But…all espadas and other arrancars were formerly hollows. You….you were a shinigami. Moreover, you shouldn't even BE in Hueco Mundo! I-It's impossible for you to be here!" I took out my zanpakuto. "Bleed…Shirohime!"
Note: I see that I didn't add Wonderwise's last name. I find it not relevant. xD Sorry for extremely short chapter! :O :O If you want to kill me….then go right ahead. TT_TT
