Chapter 3

Namida's POV

Once she was done showing me around, Rin went back to the 6th Division. Me and Rangiku went back to the 10th Division only to be met with an angry Hitsugaya.

"Where were you all day?!" Hitsugaya shouted at us.

"I was just showing her around, Captain." Rangiku said, moving past him and going into the Captain's building.

"It took you all day to do that?" Hitsugaya asked.

"Not exactly." Rangiku said innocently.

"Calm down Hitsugaya." I said, following Rangiku inside.

I could feel him seething behind me. "I got you a zanpakuto." He said through gritted teeth.

"Really?" I asked, surprised as he handed me a plain zanpakuto.

"It will eventually meld to your personality." He explained.

"Thanks." I grinned at him.

He blushed. "Um- well- I- um, I have to go!" He quickly walked away.

"What was that about?" I wondered. I turned around and screamed, Rangiku was right behind me, grinning like a maniac.

"Captain likes you!" She sang.

"No he doesn't!" I protested. "We hate each other!"

"Aw come on! Why do you think he was acting like that?" She asked.

"He had gas?" I suggested.

"No! He likes you!" She yelled in frustration. "You two are so blind!" She huffed and walked away.

I shrugged and walked into my/Rangiku's room. I wonder when I will get my own. I started thinking about what Rangiku was saying and I got angry. There was no way he liked me! I kicked the bookcase and that caused a book to fall on my head and knock me out.

I sat up. Where was I? Everything was black. I looked for my knife but it wasn't in my pocket. "Hehe! Looking for this?" A little girl's voice asked from the darkness, a little light shining on my knife.

"Give it back!" I growled, standing up and running towards it.

"Nope!" The knife moved away from me whenever I tried to grab it.

"Agh! Who are you? Show yourself!" I shouted.

"I can't." The voice sounded sad now. "Only you can control when it is light and when it is dark. When you're happy, it is light, but when you're angry or sad, it is dark. I like the light much better, but you are rarely happy." The voice said. (So. much. like. Ichigo! *goes to cry in a corner for lack of creativity*)

"Is this my 'inner world' or whatever?" I asked.

"Sure is! And I'm your zanpakuto!" The voice said, giggling.

"Why won't you give me my knife back?" I asked.

"You have to make it light! And then you can see me and how cute I am." The voice giggled.

I sighed. So be happy. When was I ever happy? Oh. I remember now.

*Flashback*

"Hey! Namida-chan!" A little boy with snow white hair came running to a little girl with maroon hair who was sitting in a small meadow.

"Hi!" The little girl replied, waving.

"Guess what I got?!" The boy asked excitedly.

"What?" The girl asked, leaning forward in excitement.

"I got us watermelon!" The little boy said, getting out a huge watermelon from behind his back.

"Yay! You're the best, Tosh-"

*Flashback ends*

"It worked!" A voice said as I snapped out of my thoughts. I looked around and saw that I was in that same meadow. But who was Tosh? A little girl with black hair and a red gothic dress suddenly appeared in my view. "Hiya! I'm one part of your zanpakuto!"

"One part?" I asked.

"Yes! Your other part refuses to come out until you've proven your strength. He's a grump!" The little girl giggled.

I just stared at her, not knowing what to say.

"Oh and by the way, my name is-" She said.

"What?" I asked. "I couldn't hear you."

"Aw! You can't hear me yet! Well it's time you go now! Goodbye, Namida!" The little girl waved and I blacked out again.

When I woke up, Hitsugaya was leaning over me. "Ahhh!" I screamed, sitting up fast and bumping our foreheads together.

"Ow!" Hitsugaya shouted, stumbling back.

"What were you doing?!" I asked him, rubbing my forehead.

"You were lying on the ground, not moving! What do you think I was doing?!" Toshiro asked angrily.

"Um, okay. I'll just leave now." Rangiku said, backing out of the room.

"So what happened?" Hitsugaya asked once we were both calm. I explained to him but left out the part about the flashback. "The zanpakuto usually acts like the wielder. The second half sounds more like you."

"Haha." I glared.

"Did she tell you her name?" He asked.

"She tried to." I shrugged.

"You mean you can't hear her? The almighty Namida can't hear her own zanpakuto's name? Wow. That's a shocker." He said sarcastically.

"Haha. Very funny, Captain." I frowned.

"You called me Captain." He said, surprised.

"I guess I'm going to have to get used to it, since I'm officially apart of your squad." I said smugly, twirling my zanpakuto around.

"I'm starting to re-think that." He laughed as I almost hit myself with my zanpakuto.

I laughed with him, then stopped suddenly. Why am I so at ease with him? How do I know him? Who is he?! Before I could say anything, Hitsugaya said, "Well now that you have your zanpakuto, you can go train with Matsumoto. I have some paper work to do." Then he left.

"Soooo, how did it go with Captain?" Rangiku asked, walking in and wiggling her eyebrows.

"You know how it went." I knew she was listening at the door.

"How did you know?!" She asked, bewildered.

"I could hear you breathing." I said.

"Fine! You got me." She pouted. "I still think Captain likes you."

"No he doesn't! Stop nagging me already!" I shouted.

"Fine." She crossed her arms and frowned.

"I'm...I'm... sorry." I said, painfully.

"Did you just say you're sorry?" Rangiku asked, surprised.

"Yes! And I'm not saying it again!" I was squished into her breasts as she hugged the life out of me.

"Aw! I knew you liked me!" She grinned and let me go. "So am I your bestest friend now?"

"Sure whatever." I rolled my eyes.

"Yay!" She smiled. "Do you want to train with me?" She asked with that huge smile still on her face.

I sighed. "Sure."

"Yay!" She squished me again.

Rin's POV

I walked into my apartment and smiled. Did I finally get a friend? I started walking towards the kitchen then stopped suddenly. Why was it so quiet? Wasn't Ichigo supposed to be here? I searched around the house frantically. He wasn't anywhere! Did he just leave? No! He wouldn't do that! Then I heard the front door open.

"Ichigo?" I called, going to investigate. "Is that you?"

"Dang it! I was supposed to be here before you came home!" He pouted.

"Ichigo!" I shouted hugging him tightly. He looked surprised and dropped the bag he was carrying. "Don't worry me like that!" I hit him in the arm.

"Aw, were you worried about me?" He teased. "What happened to your pretty blanket?"

I ignored him and looked at what he dropped. Before I could see it, Ichigo quickly picked it up and hid it behind his back. "Nope! You don't get to see anything until I'm done! You have to leave." Then he pushed me out of the apartment and locked the door behind him.

"Ichigo!" I banged on the door. After awhile, I sighed and walked away. I walked towards the 6th Division, feeling a little nervous because I haven't shown up today and I don't have my zanpakuto.

"Takahashi." Captain Kuchiki said because he never shouted. "Where were you?"

"Killing little children." I said sarcastically.

"Takahashi." He said warningly.

I sighed. "I was in the 10th Division showing a new soul reaper around. Captain Hitsugaya asked me to." I said, knowing he couldn't punish me if another Captain asked me to do something.

"Where is your zanpakuto?" He narrowed his eyes.

"I, uh, lost it?" I tried.

"Go find it." He said, menacingly.

"Yes Captain." I sighed and started walking back to my apartment. Hopefully, Ichigo would give me my zanpakuto.

"Ichigo!" I shouted, pounding on the door. "Captain is going to kill me if I don't get my zanpakuto!"

The door opened a little bit, not letting me see what was inside and a hand appeared, giving me my zanpakuto. "Ichigo? What are you doing?" I tried to open the door but he slammed it in my face, locking me out again.

I frowned and angrily kicked the door. "Meanie!" I shouted childishly, stomping away.

I was still angry when I arrived back at the Division. "Hey Rin?" Renji asked.

"WHAT?!" I shouted in poor Renji's face. "Sorry." I sighed. "Ichigo is getting really irritating. And on top of that Captain is getting on my butt for everything!"

"Yeah he really gets on the nerves sometimes. Why did you want him to stay in the first place?" He asked.

"It's a long story." I said.

"Okay, you can tell me later. As for Captain, I'll try to get him to back off of you." Renji said.

"Thanks." I sighed in relief.

"Well I have to go, see you later!" Renji waved as he walked away.

I sighed and walked into the Captain's office. "I'm back, Captain." I said, bowing a little.

"Good. Here's some paperwork." He said, gesturing to a mountain of papers on his desk.

"But Captain-" I started to protest.

"Take it and leave." He ordered sternly.

"Stupid baka." I muttered under my breath as I lifted the heavy stack of papers and started to walk forward.

"There's a chair." Captain said, and I moved out the way, carefully walking towards the door. "Don't trip." He added.

"Yeah, I would totally want to trip Captain!" I gritted my teeth in annoyance, walking forward and tripping over my own feet.

"I said, DON'T trip." Captain said as paper's flew everywhere. "Clean it up." He stepped around me and the papers, leaving the office.

"Agh! Jerk!" I shouted, picking up some papers.

"What did you say, Takahashi?" Captain asked menacingly.

"I said, you're a jerk! You always pick on me! You even made me trip!" I shouted.

"You tripped over your own feet." He said, narrowing his eyes.

"But you made me! You always make me second guess myself or make hesitate!" I shouted at him.

"You should be more confident in yourself then." Was all he said as he left a second time, leaving me alone with paper everywhere.

"I'm not cleaning this up!" I yelled after him.

He didn't say anything. I sat on the floor and pouted.
