I stood in my wrecked home and let out a low sigh. Time to clean up. I began to put my books back on the bookcase with a small smile on my face. I guess I could be annoyed that I was stuck with cleaning up this wreck caused by the shinigami, but I am happy that their punishment was to send me back to the human world away from my father.
The only reason they locked me up for as long as they did was to search my home and father's palace for any signs that I was helping in his cause. They came up empty handed. The book that I wrote was used as proof as my innocence luckily.
Fortunately, now I am free and my father is not. Now that father is locked away I am free, I can do whatever I want without his eyes constantly watching over me. Privacy was not in his vocabulary.
The only disappointing part of the whole situation is Shinji. I have yet to see him since I was given my punishment. I miss him.
I pushed him out of my mind as I went back to concentrating on cleaning up the mess. This is going to take a couple of days to clean up my whole house; it does not help that I might have slight ocd. For example, my books have to be in their correct positions- which is alphabetical. Once I finished organizing I realized that stupid bird statue was missing. Did they take it? Or did it break during the search? I sighed as I sat down on the floor in front of the book shelf; I am too exhausted to do more work now.
"Shouldn't A be before S?" a voice asked and I nearly jumped out of my skin. Turning around I saw Shinji standing there. Blood instantly rushed to my cheeks as I looked away. How does he always do that?
"Yes it does," I said as I looked over my bookcase and saw a couple of books out of place before turning back to Shinji. I will fix them later, "why are you here?"
"Well, I wanted to see if you needed any help after we tore apart your place," Shinji said as he avoided my gaze, "and I wanted to talk to you about everything."
My eyes widened, "I thought you were going to avoid any contact with me after you found out about the truth." Shinji sat down on my destroyed couch and finally caught my gaze.
"I can't deny that I never thought of it," Shinji said with a small smile. I turned away from him and looked back at the bookcase. I did not know what to say to him. Silence fell between us for a few minutes as I fixed the books. Once I sat back down on the floor Shinji broke the silence. "So… Kana, is that your real name?" Shinji asked.
"No, it is Seira Aizen," I replied.
"Seira"
"Yes?" I responded.
Shinji sighed, "I prefer Kana."
"You can call me Kana Sato if you want, I prefer that name too," I said as I turned back to him with a smile. Shinji stood up and walked over and sat down besides me.
"Can I ask you about something?" I asked.
"Yes" he said.
"What was with the hollow thing that night?" I asked and Shinji turned away from me with an anxious expression, "I guess my father did it? You do not need to say anymore."
"How was Sousuke as a father?" Shinji asked as he turned back toward me.
"Distant," I replied.
"Why am I not surprised?" Shinji replied and I laughed, "you really are nothing like him."
"Why do you say that?" I asked.
Shinji turned toward the bookcase and pulled out the book I wrote and opened it as he began, "I always knew there was something wrong with Sousuke since the first time I saw him. There was always something off about him; I could never put my finger on it it. It is different with you. You are not hiding anything. You try to do what you believe to be right, and also you erased your memories just to get away from him. If that does not say anything about you, then I do not know what would." Shinji ran his fingers as I rested my head on his shoulder.
"Thank you," I said.
