Chapter 8 Senna, The Untruth

(Seen from Senna's perspective) How many days had I slept? It seemed as if I had been sleeping for years. I wanted to wake up yet it was very hard for me to even open my eyes and move my body. I could not remember what was going on also. Yet, I could hear Ichigo's voice, speaking to someone.

I tried little by little to open my eyes. It was very heavy. Then, I remembered the dreams I had when I was asleep. Yes, the dream where I met again with that man, a man with wings on his back. He looked really like the messenger that I met the first time. He said something to me, didn't he? None knew it except you, senna! Try to recall it! He said something like the chosen one, the moon and something like fulfilling the score… Right, he also said something about the stone and relics…That's all that I remembered. It was only a dream right? It was not real and I could just ignore it… Maybe for some time…

I tried to open my eyes once more. It was quite hard, yet I had to do it. How many more days did you want to sleep, Senna? You had to wake up. I opened my eyes just to see a huge lamp on top of my head shining brightly, as bright as the moon. Feeling a bit weird, I moved my head to the other directions and I found Ichigo was sitting there with an old man, waiting for my consciousness to come back.

"There, she has woken up!" Ichigo shouted.

I sat up directly, making a sudden movement. It was not that I wanted to catch his attention. It was like my own muscle that forced my body to move.

"Hold on. Don't move your body too much, you have not recovered completely!"

"Alright." I answered softly. I moved my body back to rest position.

"Ichigo, where am I?" I asked, unknowing the place. The place seemed to be very new to me. The person Ichigo was talking to was not familiar also. I had never met him maybe. Or it was my mind that started to corrupt?

Ichigo starred at me, surprised. He looked dazzled as if I had said a three-words-sentence directly to him without any preparation. By seeing his eyes opened wide without any movement, I could also infer that he was a bit confused as well. I started to think again whether I had made a mistake in my question. After a few moment of dizziness, he finally answered, "Here? It is Urahara san's house."

I was feeling relieved that that was nothing wrong with my question that he asked me back.

"Oya, by the way, what's your name?"

"My name is…" Just a second before I pronounced my name, another realization conjured up inside my mind. Was it really alright to reveal my name? No. I must not reveal my name… He should not remember me. Never. I did not want to involve him anymore. This truth must be concealed! However, how should I answer his question? It would be even more odd if I did not answer. He would be more eager to know my name if I did not tell him… I had to lie… Sorry, Ichigo. It was the only way for now. The truth must be concealed…

"Are you really ok? He asked me, worried

"Yeah… uh… My name is Yui." I answered finally. I had to lie for now. Yeah, at least for now… I had to try my best to keep him safe from my complicated problems. He must no be involved again and he must not be bothered just because of me.

"Alright! Urahara-san, Yui had woken up!" he shouted to the old man who was reading a paper.

"So, your name is Yui, isn't it?" Urahara asked.

"Yes, sir"

"Do you know anything about the meteor, the man with wings that kidnapped you, and hollows? I am quite certain you know… Please tell us about them."

What? Man with wings, meteor? They are inside my dream! The thing I did not know was what was wrong with them… They were just natural phenomenon… A normal natural phenomenon… How could I answer his question? Should I answer it based on my odd ludicrous dream?

"Urahara san, do we have to discuss this matter now? She is still too weak for now. Let her rest first." Ichigo questioned with concern.

"No, this matter must be cleared now or never. Besides, this is not a loving matter."

(Seen from Ichigo's perspective) Urahara-san should not ask that question abruptly. The girl was still weak because of the things happening to her continuously, strange thing. The strangest thing was that how could she know my name? I had not told her my name yet she could mention my name as if she had mentioned it many times. Had we met each other before? No… Yui knew my name because of me saying it myself probably… I was quite absent-minded most probably.

"Euh… I had strange dreams actually when I was unconscious… But, I could not recall what they were…" Yui said.

Yui was fainted at that time. She was neither unconscious nor asleep. How could she have dreams?

"Well… if that's your answer I have to try to dig the information from you deeper. By doing so, maybe you could remember the things you should remember…" Urahara said

"Firstly, have you ever seen this man, a normal man with circular wings on his back?" he continued by showing her his messy drawing which was quite vague for even me who had fought the man.

"Yes… He was a person that was talking to me before I became unconscious." She answered without any emotion. It was a very important piece of information actually. Yet, she answered it as if it was a very common information, she answered it emotionlessly.

"He was talking to you?" I asked, surprised

"Yes, he said that he had to take me to … somewhere… I don't know…" Yui answered.

"Alright if that's the case, just tell me everything that you remember for now." Urahara san said

"Uh… The chronological order was that I was going to the window to see the recent explosion from the northern area. Then, I was taken aback when I saw abruptly a person behind me. He said some odd words which I did not really understand actually. The part which I could remember clearly was that he said the chosen one would open the gate into a new beginning… That kind of weird stuff which I don't know…" Yui told us the story with, this time, full of emotion. Her red eyes blinked and opened with full of emotions. Nonetheless, still I could not really know what her emotion truly was. It was as if I had seen many emotions within her face.

"Yes, I think that's enough for my analysis to be completed. One more thing, the key point, have you ever seen this kind of ancient symbols?" Urahara san showed her the stone, a small one, from which began every feeling of anxiety to know he truth. It could glow into red color and there was many cryptic symbols which I personally disliked. The most important thing was that, It was taken from the centre of the meteor; the meteor which, according to Urahara san, had increased the power of the hollows nearby.

Yui took the stone and saw it carefully, leaving no symbol unseen. Her white fingers groped the stone slowly yet precisely. The red color of both her eyes and the stone seemed to be very identical. A person's steps brought me back to reality. It was Rukia.

(Seen from Rukia's perspective) I rushed towards Urahara's room. The house was quite dark and I could detect his room quite easily due to the glowing stone. Its glow passed through the darkness of the house and was more prominent than the glow of the lamp. There was reticence inside the room. It was not a complete silence as just seconds ago I heard people's voice. Just as I was in front of the room, the room became silent, strange.

I opened the door quickly and entered the room with great speed. It was urgent news to be told.

"Urahara-san!" I said quite loudly, breaking the silence inside the room.

"What is it?"

"The soul society had finished researching the meteor and the man with the strange wings. They proclaimed that they were all related to one topic in common, the angels." I said

"What? Angels? Had not they been extinct and destroyed?" Urahara san asked.

"Hey hey, what's going on?" Ichigo also asked.

"Yes. Unfortunately, before the explosion of the meteor and the meeting with the one of the angel yesterday, there had been many strange reatsu spectrum recorded in the Valley of Screams. It was undoubtedly theirs, the angels'."

"What? How could that even be?" they asked in unison

"Yes, even the worst thing was that, the relic, sculptured on the stone taken from the meteor, was said to be an angelic symbol. It repeated the ancient belief, "the fifteenth moon…" my sentence was cut by the girl.

She said, "The fifteenth moon has bloomed. The water will evaporate and dissipate, the gale will form typhoons and tornadoes, the fire of phoenix will devastate the world, the earth will shake and for all, the harmony shall bring about Armageddon."
