Fourth period, Damien's favorite period. "Lunch time!" I said. Just as I said that Damien's face lit up. So we left class. Most of the shinigami in training ate outside. I sat with Hana, Kokoro, and Damien. We talked and talked, I explained about the things happening in Soul Society. When lunch was finished, we had Zanjutsu training. "Damien you look exicited," Said Hana, "Not usual of you Damien-Kun" Kokoro added, "Finally there's a class where I can beat the crap out of people!" Replied Damien. It wasn't easy, the oppenents you had to fight have more expirence. some mastered it. they had the speed, and strenght. Damien moved very slowly, and applied almost no strength. Every time someone was hurt, Kokoro would rush over and heal them in no time. It was now time to leave school. I took them to 6th squads quarters. "This is where you'll be staying," I said pointing to a room. I opened it, and it was empty. "Ah Captain Kyoshi's room," I said, they backed out, "He won't mind?" Hana asked. "He's dead," I told her. They just gave me a look, like an "I'm sorry," look. I put a smile on and said, "No No it's ok, it's just extra space." So they walked in. Damien looked around, "Where are the beds!?" He yelled. "Oh right, the beds, hold on!" I said running down the hall. A couple minutes later I returned with the matresses, I was shocked.
"Damien what the hell!" I yelled, where Damien was sitting, there was patato chip bags, and soda cans. Hana and Kokoro wern't there. Suddenly they popped up from behind me andgot into an attack position. "What's going on?" Kokoro ask. Hana put her hands over her mouth when she saw the mess. "Well at least you girls can sleep tonight, Damien will be cleaning," I said. Damien stood up and yelled about why he has to clean. I opened the closet and there was a ton of soda cans. "Damien do you have a bladder?" I asked. So I brought Hana and Kokoro to a different room, that was slightly smaller. "Get some rest you two," I said as I left. So I went back to see what Damien was doing, he was actually cleaning. I entered and started help him. After cleaning was done, we all went to sleep. An explosion near the grand hall shook the dojo. There was a scream coming from Hana and Kokoro's room. Damien and I rushed over. "What's happening?" Damien asked. Kokoro pointed to a dark figure outside the window. "A hollow!" I yelled, "Everyone get back," I pulled out my zanpakuto and jumped out the window. The hollow didn't move, then it handed me a note in a bottle. "F-f-from master Daisuke," Said the hollow as it dissapeared. I jumped back into the window and asked them to follow me, "It's not safe to stay here unprotected," I said, so they did follow.
We made it to the grand hall where everyone had to enter the hall and wait for further orders. I opened the note
Dear Shinigami
I have your comander hostage, I will kill him if my demands arn't met, I want Haru Makato to report to my castle loacted north of grand hall. Find it and your comander will be spared.
Yours, Daisuke Yuu
I knew that if I went that I would be killed. This was a tough decision, so I told everyone about it. Now there was a commotion about if I should go or not. It was now 9:15, day 2 since Kurosaki went missing. I appeared in front of the Central 46, there were the people who made rules. They talked about it, and the decision was made. "Haru Makoto, liuetenant of 6th squad, you are here by granted permission to journey to Daisuke's castle," Said the head of the Central 46. Now begins the Kurosaki Rescue Mission! I rushed home, to get some supplies. "Food, food, food," I said looking through the cabinets. "Looking for these?" I turned around and saw Kokoro, Damien, and Hana hold a bag full of food. I reached for it, but they pulled it away. "If you want it, then we have to come along," Said Kokoro. I sighed.
"I can't, you guys only had 1 days worth of practice, that isn't enough," I said, "Don't worry about us," They replied. I just looked at them for a while. "If you guys ever got hurt, I could never forgive myself," I said quietly. Damien crossed his arms and laid back against the wall, Hana and Kokoro just looked at him. There was silence. Damien sighed and stood up straight, "We don't care what the cost is, we're coming along," Damien. I sighed, "Fine, do as you wish," I said. They went to get packed, "Oh wait, Haru-kun, you might want this," Kokoro said as she threw the bag full of food. I caught it, and when I looked up, she was gone. It was now 3:15. "Guys, get some rest," I said, "Ah-ha no way, if we sleep you're gonna leave without us," Said Hana. I just looked out the window. So nobody got any rest, except for Damien. "Well, the journey begins now," I said
