Amaya woke up the next morning, not remembering how she got there, but decided not to question it. She slowly got up and threw on a navy blue kimono, since she didn't have work today. Amaya stood in the middle of the room, not exactly sure what to do. She then decided to grab her notebook and the electric keyboard that Ukitake gave her as a welcoming gift- though she thought he just needed to get rid of it. Amaya then walked over to her bed, and grabbed the notebook from underneath. As she looked at the notebook, she remembered Kazuki. Just the thought of him hurts. He was the first friend she made when she got to the soul society, and she just left him. Amaya took a deep breath, and shoved the thoughts out of her mind. She stepped out the door, and just allowed her feet to take her wherever she needed to go. She ended up at a big cherry blossom tree, surrounded by lilac bushes. It had a beautiful view of the rising sun. looking at the sun, Amaya couldn't help but wonder what time it was. She shrugged and sat down, flipping through the pages of her notebook. As she looked through the notebook, a smile spread across her face. Near the back of the book was the song she wrote that first night.

"The song." She whispered to herself. She then remembered that she left her body in a meadow, hidden in the woods, and she assumed her family found her towards nightfall, considering how late it was... she then started writing words.
'Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow,lay
down you're head, and close you're
eyes, and when they open, the sun will
rise. Here it's safe, and here it's warm, and
here the daises guard, you from every harm,
here you're dreams are sweet, and tomorrow brings
them true, here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away, a cloak of leaves
a moon beam ray. Forget you're
woe's and let you're troubles
lay, and when again it's morning,
they'll wash away. Here it's safe
here's it's warm, here the daises guard,
you from every harm, here you're
dreams are sweet, and tomorrow brings them true.
Here is the place where I love you

Amaya smiled to herself, happy with her work.

"Let's see if I can't make a tune for it." Amaya then worked on making a song, which was difficult since she's never played the piano before. She just let her fingers guide her to different notes and let her thoughts pour out into her music. When she thought she had it, she tried to play and sing her song.

Toshiro's POV

Just when the clock pointed to 10 A.M, captain Unohana came in and told Toshiro he could leave. Happy to leave, he quickly got up and put on his kimono. He then strapped his sword to his back, and made his way out of squad 4. As he was walking back to his squad, he heard someone singing. She sounded beautiful, like a angel. Her voice was so soft and sweet. Toshiro went towards the voice, ended up at a big cherry blossom tree. He cautiously looked over and saw that the singer was Amaya! He could hardly believe that she had such a great talent. She didn't notice him, so he just stood there and listened. He then noticed tears running down her face, but she kept singing. She then finished her song and smiled, tears still running down her face. She looked behind her and saw him.

Amaya's POV

Amaya looked behind her and saw Toshiro standing there. At first she was angry, but then she saw the look in his eye's, as if he somehow felt her pain. Amaya turned pink and quickly wipped away her tears.

"Captain, what are you doing here?" She asked in a nervous voice.

"Well, I was walking back to my squad, when I heard someone singing. I came to see who, and sure enough it was you." He said, embarrassed as well. "Why does that song make you so sad?" He asked suddenly.

"Um.. well I wrote it about how I died, and how I wished someone was there with me. Where my family found me, and that if someone's scared, their fears will wash away. Forget you're woes, because tomorrow will be better. And If you have sweet dream's, tomorrow will bring them true. And I love you, was the last thing I said to my older sister before I left." Toshiro looked at her shocked.

"You wrote that?" He asked, and she nodded her head. "That's impressive, you're really talented." Amaya smiled and blushed despite herself. From what you could tell, he didn't seem like a person to hand out compliments.

"Thank you." She said, looking straight ahead. After an awkward moment of silence, Amaya spoke up.

"Well I should get going..." She quickly gathered her stuff, and got up. Before she left, she glanced behind her, and caught his eye. She froze, not being able to look away. She felt heat rise in her face. She blinked and snapped out of it.

"Sorry.." She mumbled, quickly making her way down the small hill. When she was almost at the bottom of the hill, she felt someone grab her wrist. Amaya quickly looked behind her and saw Toshiro hanging on to her wrist. It looked like he wanted to say something important, but instead he said,

"Don't forget you're training in two days." His voice said one thing, but his eye's were saying something else. Something she was supposed to understand. Amaya felt a strange feeling of disappointment.

"Right.." Toshiro then let go of her, and she left. As she left, she hear Toshiro quietly, yelling at himself.

'Well this is weird..' She thought. 'I wish I could understand.' She tried to figure out what he wanted her to know. As she walked to her squad, she saw Rongiku and a large crowed of people hiding around a corner. Most had tears in their eyes.

"What's wrong?" She yelled worriedly.

'Did something horrible happen while I was gone?'

"Nothing's wrong Amaya!" Rongiku spoke, laughing a little. "We were just listening to you sing..." She said hesitantly.

"You WHAT?" Amaya yelled mortified and embarrassed. Ukitake, Renji, Rukia, Rongiku, Momo, even Byakuya was listening. Amaya blushed the deepest shade of red possible.

"How did you hear me?" I asked 'How did they all end up here?'

"Well, I heard someone singing and I saw it was you, so I went to go get people to listen, because you sound really pretty." Rongiku said smiling. "And one thing lead to another, so we all wanted to hear you're voice."

"Oh.. great " She said a little sarcastic, looking at the ground. An anime sweat drop going down you're head.

"Well, I should get going." Amaya waved to everyone, and left, not being able to stop herself from thinking about Toshiro on the way home; trying to figure out what his eye's were saying.

'I wish I knew'
