Last time Suzuyo checked, they still had two days. Did those two days pass by that quickly? There wasn't really a good-bye, there was just a double checking to make sure that they had everything (pretty much nothing) and that they were placed in a much desolated location somewhere in Soul Society. They didn't remove Suzuyo's zanpakuto since she was voluntarily executed and couldn't really remove Mizuki's. They weren't really thrown in a 'desert', it was just really hot and it seemed really dry.
"Say Mizuki, what are we going to do anyways?" Suzuyo commented as they walked mindlessly into the desert.
"Good question, I was kind of thinking of building a house or something and just settling here."
"That would be nice. But if we're going to spend eternity here, we should try and build something cool…with what we have."
"You mean nothing?"
"Yeah pretty much. Let's start with trying to find a tree or something that could give us shade, I'm burning."
"Same…." They walked for what seemed like hours (which possibly was) and still nothing but dirt and sand were seen. Suzuyo, who had aced her test on fresh water systems (sadly I didn't…) knew exactly what to do.
"Hey Mizuki, it rains in Soul Society right?"
"Of course, why wouldn't
it?"
"Well that's not the point. Anyhow, see if your
zanpakuto could get some water from the air or from the water
underground. Maybe with that water, we could wet the sand and manage
to build something out of it."
"Hey, not a bad idea!" She smiled and tried to summon up some water. It took a lot of energy, but it paid off, as Mizuki was able to get about a litre of water or so.
"Okay, we don't have much time the minute you let the water down, we probably have about thirty seconds, so on your mark, get set…go!" Suzuyo quickly jumped to her knees and started to build what looked like a column.
You could say they built a wall about fifty centimetres tall and forty-five centimetres wide with the possibility of it being about three centimetres thick. Exhausted, they lay on the dry sand (surprisingly, it dried so fast that it got harder faster and it was stronger). There wasn't much shade for them (since the sun was kind of high at this point, but it was enough for them to feel better. Taking a deep breath, Suzuyo was glad to be relieved slightly from the sun.
"Wow, you're smart Suzuyo, this feels great!"
"Thanks, it was nothing really. But this wall won't stay forever; when it rains the whole thing will crumble."
"Yeah, if only we could find rocks or anything that can live through the rain."
"Well, what should we do…we could just you know, stay here and travel at night….or whatever…?"
"I guess we'll just rest here for a bit…."

Kira couldn't understand why Suzuyo left with Mizuki without saying good-bye, heck he didn't even understand why she left at all. He laughed slightly to himself, he knew the answer. He just didn't want to accept the fact that she was gone. 'That's why I love her.'

Hitsugaya sighed in frustration as he piled his finished paperwork faster and faster. He didn't understand why he wanted to see Suzuyo again, and he also didn't get why Matsumoto was off again without doing any work. He doubled checked the files of Atsuikumo Suzuyo, but all he found was useless information. He knew all about what was happening now; she was in his division, but what about her past? She had to take an exam right, and before that, they need information. They needed to know more about personal stuff, but nothing personal enough showed on her file.
At least, that's what Hitsugaya convinced himself whenever he thought about Suzuyo; that she was just mysterious and he was just curious. But his actual brain asked him about Mizuki and she was mysterious, and Hitsugaya went on ignoring it like usual.
'Poor Hinamori never got to find out about how you felt when you pushed me aside.' His brain commented while Hitsugaya finished up his last sheet of paperwork (he never got the chance to finish it).
'Shut up, I don't need stupid voices in my head'
'Don't you remember how she was sent on a mission and you went to say you loved her but instead all you did was look away and say good-bye?'
'I told you to shut up; I don't you to bother me.'
'And how she smiled at you and said: "I've grown up Shiro-chan".'
'I said shut up! Leave me alone.'
'Don't make the same mistake…'The voice faded into the distance of Hitsugaya's mind. He stood up abruptly and stormed out the door, determined to find some peace and quiet.

Sometime during the day, Suzuyo dosed off. How she knew? Because when she was wide awake and alert, she noticed the sun wasn't above her, but rather it was setting. She looked beside her, Mizuki was still sleeping. She felt bad if she tried to wake her up, so she went back to staring at the sun (no, it doesn't hurt because it's kind of orangey when it sets). She let her mind travel to space. She let it to wander to her life in Seireitei.
'I really took it all for granted, never really thought that I'd leave that place. I wasn't even there for a long time…but at least Mizuki is here, she's like my memory of that place…. Everyone there…like Kira…I'll miss him. I wonder what everyone is doing there….' At that point, Mizuki started to stir. "Good night Mizuki." Suzuyo smiled.
"Huh…what…oh hey
Suzuyo. Did I fall asleep?"
"I think we both did…."
"Haha, sorry about that. I guess it's night time now. Want to start moving; I think I'm getting stiff."
"Sure. It looks like we're taking a step forward."

Hey everyone, how do you think this chapter was? I know it's a little boring, but I'm going to update soon, because I'm leaving on July 12th, and I wanted to fit another update within that time. So that's just a heads up!
