Chapter 2
"Onee-chan"
Toushirou panted slightly as he arrived to his next class. His mind was filled with vengeful thoughts on how to get back at Minako. Little images of him choking her and then drowning her roamed his evil mind. When he arrived at class, he stood at the door for a moment. He took deep breaths composing himself, for he wouldn't let anyone see him not calm and collected as was his usual demeanor.
Toushirou opened the door and found everyone staring at him. He ignored them and walked to his seat. The teacher resumed the lesson and Toushirou soon found himself thinking about Minako again.
Sakura blossoms scattered in the wind as Minako walked through the forest beside the academy. Her heart's beating was still not normal, but it had calmed down. She was angry at herself, for being scared of Toushirou. Minako bit her lip, a sign of nervousness, while she recollected her thoughts. Not only did she anger herself, but she was disobeying her grandfather's orders again. He will not be happy.
Minako found a bench beside a lake and sat on it. The lake glittered with so many colors, it seemed magical. Flower petals sprinkled its surface and the sun gleamed above it. She brought her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. Minako rested her chin on her knee caps and resumed her thoughts. She couldn't seem to get the boy out of her head. No. She didn't want revenge. The idea of apologizing seemed very appealing to her right now, and yet she didn't understand why. His grandmother. He seemed very protective of her. She was important to Toushirou and Minako didn't have the right to say that about her. By the way he talked, and his obvious repulsiveness, he probably grew up somewhere not particularly wealthy. He also seemed to be… lonely in a way. His teal eyes were filled with slight pain.
I'm going to go there and apologize to him or I'm afraid he will haunt me. Minako got up, patted her uniform, and started back to the academy.
"Listen up students, we will be having a visitor today, and be respectful, for the meeting with her will determine the rest of your life as a shinigami" The teacher announced. Toushirou lifted his head from the desk and looked quizzically at the door. Please don't let it be her, please don't let it be her. He chanted in his head. Chatter filled the room, but was quickly shushed by the teacher's voice.
"You could come in now" The teacher smiled and Toushirou held his breath.
The door opened to reveal a young girl, about 7 in human years, with big gray dough eyes and a bright smile. She walked up to the front of the class, put her hands on a student's desk and leaned forward into the student's ear.
"HELLO" The girl screamed. The student fell back on his chair and clutched his ear in utter pain. "MY NAME IS AYAME!!" The other students immediately cowered to the back of the room, but Toushirou stayed in his seat. Ayame noticed and walked up to him." What's your name Shiro-chan" Ayame grinned. A vein popped on Toushirou's head, his patience was long run out. He grabbed the girl by the collar of her kimono and lifted her up to eye level. The teacher and his classmates gasped in alarm. Ayame watched his movements with an interested glint in her eye.
"MY NAME IS HITSUGAYA TOU—"he stopped mid-sentence, something was familiar about this girl. Her long blonde hair, big eyes, and small figure, all pointed to – Minako." Are you by any chance related to Yamamoto fuki-taichou" Toushirou growled. He placed the girl on the floor and waited as she fixed her kimono. She then looked up at him, her lips pursed.
"Minako is my onee-chan" She rummaged in small purple purse she carried with her and pulled out a picture. Ayame handed it to Toushirou and he took it. His eyes widened, the girl in the picture looked nothing like the girl he met today. The girl was holding Ayame in a bear hug, with eyes full of light and a grand smile. The bags that were under Minako's eyes were not apparent in the picture. Minako looked truly happy. He looked back at Ayame, noticing the girl had a wistful expression on her face.
"That was before she became a vice captain" Ayame whispered, she smiled," She was so nice and prettier too, right?"
Toushirou nodded and gave the picture back to the young girl. She muttered a "thanks" and turned towards the door. Toushirou felt pity for the girl. He mumbled a curse under his breath and followed Ayame into the hall. She was dragging her feet and head faced the ground.
"Your sister is not that bad I'm sure" Toushirou called to her. She turned around pouted slightly.
"You obviously haven't met her then" They were outside now; Ayame grabbed his hand and led him to a bench next to the entrance of the academy. "She used to be happy all the time and really sweet. She'd take me anywhere I would want to, the park, my friend's house, sometimes even to the living world. Onee-chan cared for me."
She paused and started to fiddle with her fingers. "Now all she does is drink and laze around Seireitei. I barely see her anymore. Grandpa gets very annoyed by her, but he keeps her as the vice captain because she 'has her moments'" Ayame glanced at Toushirou who was looking off into the distance with an angry expression on his face.
"Hitsugaya-k—"
"Ayame what are you doing here" Ayame looked up to see her sister walking towards them. Her face looked wary. Minako stopped a few feet from the pair. Ayame got up from beside Hitsugaya and stood in front of him, as if protecting him. Her grey eyes turned into steel.
"Grandfather asked me to visit the academy, to look for recruits" Hitsugaya got up and began to walk back to class. Minako noticed and spoke up.
"I'm sorry!!" Minako shouted. Hitsugaya turned in bewilderment." Don't be mad at me. Please." She pleaded at him. Minako ran towards him and grabbed his shoulders while Hitsugaya just stared at her in confusion." I'm sorry for making fun of your Granny"
Hitsugaya narrowed his eyes and ripped her arms off his shoulders." Go away" He muttered darkly.
Ayame kept quiet, watching the scene before her. It was peculiar to her, her sister never cared about how others felt towards her, why now?
Minako grabbed onto Hitsugaya's wrist and held onto it tightly. He ground his teeth in angry. Does she want a piece of me again?
"I'm sorry" Hitsugaya searched her eyes and found … sincerity. She really meant it. Hitsugaya sighed heavily and tore his hands from her grasp. She looked down in melancholy. He rolled his eyes. "I accept your apology".
Minako's head snapped up, her face graced with a huge smile. Ayame gasped softly, surprised to see one of her sister's old smiles. A fire lit up in her tiny body as she looked at Hitsugaya. He made it happen; he made my onee-chan smile again.
Hitsugaya started back towards class and Minako didn't stop him. She was happy. It was something she hadn't felt in a while. She looked towards her sister who was twirling her feet nervously.
"Come on runt, let's get you home" Ayame looked up to see her sister kneeling down, her back towards her. Ayame beamed and climbed onto her sister's back.
"Maybe, one day, she will be back to her old self" Ayame thought. "My onee-chan"
