Yumemi was looking around the place as they came out the gate way that lead to the Land of the living, and just about everything here was new to her, the scents and the many sounds were making her head spin from all these new things all at once, the lieutenant run off somewhere in her fake body, which they had to use, they needed it to let their spirit energy charge while in these fake bodies, though it was hard to move in.
Her Captain took her to a girl named Orihime place so she could get use to everything in this realm while she was getting use to the fake body, he left shortly after that leaving her with Orihime to go deal with a hollow near by. Orihime made her something for her to eat, it didn't really look that edible at all, but once she bit into the weird looking food she found herself liking it though it was really sweet. This place was very much different from the Soul Society, there were so many bad humans here, they kill each other for the fun of it, she felt sick when she thought about those humans killing each other for the fun of it.
"Miss Hidaka, are you okay?" Orihime asked her in a worried tone, snapping her out of her little daze.
"Yes I am fine, Orihime, and just call me Yumemi, you don't need to speak so formal around me, I'm no one special like the Captain or even the Lieutenant, I'm just a normal soul reaper," she smiled at her, her smile was actually forced but Orihime didn't need to know she was faking happiness.
"Well if you're alright then, do you want to go to this old shrine I had found a few a days ago?" she asked her excitedly. Yumemi thought about it for while, it could be very reckless going to unknown area that could be very well dangerous but she also didn't want to let Orihime go by herself, so she didn't have much of a choice but to go with her.
"Alright, I'll go with you," she smiled at the young teenage human girl while getting up, something inside her told her that something bad was about to happen but she just shrugged it off like it was nothing.

All he could feel was coldness within his body, everything around him was dark, he felt lost, alone, and the anguish. He could feel his people all around him, though he couldn't see them but it didn't matter to him, all he ever had and loved was gone. But something inside him called out for her, his lover, his queen, his everything, he needed her so badly and yet he let her slip through his slim fingers to easily. He promised her that he would always protect her, but he had failed her and she was dead because of his failure to protect her with all his life.
"Yumemi," he softly whispered out into the darkness as he spoke his dead lovers name he had felt something deep inside him burning with need and want. Than he suddenly felt it, her spirit, it was faint at first but now it was getting stronger and closer like she was still alive, but that was impossible, he saw her die that day in his arms. Rage began to run through his body again for the millionth time as the memory of that day run though his mind yet again. He opened his eyes for first time in a long time, his eyes were filled with so much pain and anger, he felt like her spirit was still alive but was yet still far away from him at the same time. His heart was telling him she was indeed still alive but no longer human, he didn't care all he just wanted was her.
"YUMEMI!"

"YUMEMI!"
That same voice shouted her name again but it wasn't just her that heard this time, Orihime heard it as well. They were so close to the shrine now, that she could see how old it really was and it looked very familiar to her, and they only stopped walking once they had heard that voice shouting out her name.
"That voice again?" she asked aloud without noticing she even spoke it out loud in the first place.
"Again? Yumemi, have you heard this strange voice before?" Orihime asked her after she spoke it aloud. That was when she realized she actually said it out loud and not in her head.
"Yes," she answered her honestly not wanting to lie to her since she had heard the voice as well,"I have been hearing this voice we just heard for the past few days in my head, but now it seems to be calling out to me, you heard it call my name with me this time. At least now I know I'm not going crazy." She sighed in relief grateful that she wasn't going crazy like she had thought she was.
"Well, let's go find out what this voice thing is than!" Orihime said all to cheerfully as she run up the shrines steps.
"Orihime! You shouldn't run up stairs! You could fall!" Yumemi yelled after the other girl so she wouldn't get hurt, they hadn't noticed that they were being watched by something hidden in deep within the shadows that wanted devour both of their souls.
