CH30-Reunion
Stretching I sit up in my bed and look around the barracks. Smiling, I stroke Niricames fur waking her up. Last night she explained everything to me, from the transformation to the distant feeling. She was hesitant to leave the Zanpakto now but I know her, if she is in there for too long she'll go crazy. Her jaws open wide in a yawn and she delicately walks over me and returns to the sword. Everyone is watching me now just waiting for me lose control so they will have an excuse to hit me on the head. Apparently I'm very stubborn and a lot of people would like to knock some sense into me. Irritated, I rub my head where Aizen had hit me hard.
Throwing my legs over the side I stand on the icy floor. Slipping on my Zanpakto I walk along the quiet halls. "Where is everybody?" my voice echoes through the deserted building unanswered. My skin begins to prickle and my hand grips the sheath ready to pop out Niricame if the need arises. Carefully placing each foot down and slowing my breathing I start to hear my surroundings better. A creak of a floor board behind me confirms my suspicions, I am being followed. I give no hint that I have noticed them and continue down the hall.
Coming upon a mirror I glance at it through the corner of my eye in time to see long black hair flit into a room. Side stepping I hide in a corner between a grandfather clock and the wall. I watch the person poke their head out and scan the halls, obviously displeased that she had lost me. Muttering to herself she heads back the way we came. Slipping out I silently stalk her and doing a much better job than she did. Each time I see her flip her hair to look back I am already behind a door or in a room.
We are almost at the end of the hall and I have yet to see her face. Tossing the doors open she steps outside which is also barren of people. Quickly looking around she walks briskly to the right. Staying inside I follow her as well as I can but I soon lose her. "Darn." Walking out onto the grass I stare at the trees to see if maybe she had gone in there when I hear it, the hiss of blade scraping against it a sheath. Somersaulting forward the blade digs deep into the ground. Landing on my hands I spin myself onto my feet to face her and bring out Niricame.
My glare widens into a look of shock as I see the girl before me. Her straight, long black hair falls over her sheath which lies in her back, and her Zanpakto has yellow ribbon wrapping around the hilt. Both of our Zanpakto's lower slightly as we take in each other's features.
"Kari?"
"Mya?" Wait, if it's Myaname, and she didn't die, than why didn't I sense her presence. I sensed the presence of someone sinister, almost evil, not that of my sister. "How are you alive, I mean I thought the Hollow had killed you?" Looking sad she shakes her head. "No, I heard the noise and I came to investigate and found Koriuno and Master on the ground. After I buried them I searched for you but I couldn't find you, I thought that the Hollow had run off your body." I stare at her in shock but a smile spreads across my face and I go to sheath my Zanpakto when her voice changes from sorrow and relief to anger and longing. "If only I was so lucky."
