Editor's Note: Shinji is sure angsty. Are you sure he isn't really a teenager who got rejected? And yes, I will comment on everything, Molly, because making editor's notes makes my life!
Chapter 2: Waking Up
Hiyori s POV
I felt like I was in a black abyss. There was no way in or out, I was just there. The last image I had seen before falling into the blackness within was Shinji s pain stricken face as he tried desperately to find someone who could help me. I remember anger and the lust for revenge showing in his eyes. I had to live. I had to make it. Shinji was waiting for me.
One problem-I could feel that my body was whole again, but I couldn't control it. It was like my mind had been detached from my body. Why can t my body listen to me! Let me open my eyes! I have to live!
I lay there fighting the blackness that threatened to consume me. It was so frustrating! Why can t I wake up! AHHHHHHHH!
After what felt like years of nothing, I could feel my body. Yes! Yes! Open my eyes, I thought, open! I tried once, but it felt like trying to lift two tons. I tried again. I will get them open, so help me God! After what seemed like eternity, they finally opened.
AHHH! Everything is so bright. Bright light, too much, I felt myself mutter. I blinked a few times and took in my surroundings. I seemed to be in my room with Shinji, now asleep in a chair next to my bed. God, he looked awful. He had huge dark circles under his eyes... like this was the first time he had slept in days. His clothes were ragged and unkempt, which was not like him. He looked much thinner, almost sickly. Then I realized that he must have been really worried about me if he looks this bad. Wait, what the hell happened? I sat straight up, realizing that my body was whole again. Shinji, of course, picked that moment to wake up. When he saw me sitting up and looking around in total confusion he gasped and began to gush,
Oh God am I so glad you are okay! After a week and a half of hoping you would live, you are okay. I was beginning to lose hope, but here you are, totally fine! Oh God, this such a relief! I mean, thank God, you're okay! I mean everyone else is too, but I am so relived that you are alive and okay! Don t ever do this to me again. I wouldn t be able to live with myself if something like this ever happened again...Oh you must be really confused, sorry, Shinji trailed off.
It s okay, I get it and I wouldn t know what to do if you died either, dumbass, replied Hiyori with an unprecedented smile. I saw Shinji s eyes brighten at the sound of this frequent insult. With that insult I had showed him that I was totally fine and completely myself. Shinji then proceeded to tell me about what I had missed. Apparently, Aizen had kicked our asses, even with Shinji s inverted world technique. We were all alive and well, especially now that I had woken up. We still had to hide from the soul society, I had missed a full week, and the undamaged city had been returned to it s proper place. Aizen was eventually defeated by Ichigo (who had conveniently lost all of his powers) so life was pretty much back to normal, or as normal as it could be, and that was fine by me.
