Toshiro POV.
I was in my office sorting through the left over paper work Rangiku always leaves behind. Suddenly, my doors went bulging open and a bloody Rangiku came in, her face in shocked expression. "I'm so sorry Captain, I-I didn't mean to do it" Rangiku trailed off her voice in a murmur.
"What's wrong? What happened? Where's Nanami?" I found myself asking all these questions in a panic as I ran to her side. She looked at me, tears falling from her eyes. "N-nanami is...I'm so sorry" she burst out into tears.
"Nanami is what? Where is she?" I commanded. "She's in my room" Rangiku said quietly. I ran to her room with out a second thought. I ran into her room calling out for Nanami, but there was no answer. Then I opened my eyes wide once I saw a blood trail on the floor leading me to her body on the floor.
Nanami POV.
I felt his footsteps coming closer and I tried to keep myself from making my breathing obvious, or from laughing. "N-nanami?" I heard his voice speak and I kept myself still. "Captain!" Rangiku cam in running. "How did this happen!" he said in a serious and scary tone.
"We were just talking and playing around...but then there was an accident..I'm so sorry captain" she balled into more tears that made me want to burst out laughing. But I had to keep control otherwise the plan would fail. I didn't want to fail.
Toshiro POV.
My mind was unsteady and my emotions were the ones talking at this point. "How can this have happened?" I yelled, frustration in my voice. "I'm sorry Captain, I didn't mean to stab her, please don't hate me" Rangiku cried more covering her face with her hands as she hiccuped.
"I...don't hate you...but..."my voice trailed off as I saw Nanami's body again. My eyes went watery, strangely. I felt my body move on its own down to her. "How..can you do this to her" I murmured.
Nanami POV.
I felt shaky hands grab me and lift me up. I tried so hard to stay still but my breathing started to show.
Toshiro POV.
I felt her breath. "Nanami!" I yelled out, glad that she was still alive and breathing. Rangiku's gaze lifted up and she was surprised. "N-nanami! Speak to me! C'mon say something!" I shook her hoping to get a reaction.
Nanami POV.
Damnit! Now he knows! But should I respond...ugh I have to. I started coughing slowly and I slightly opened my eyes. "T-toshiro?" I spoke softly trying not to sound alive. "Nanami!" he gasped, relief in his voice.
I looked to Rangiku not being able to take it anymore, I wanted to laugh. She noticed and nodded her head in agreement. "Toshiro I have just one more thing to say.." I tried to sound feint. "..yes?" he closed in. His eyes were wide opened and full with worry and sadness. It made me want to melt that he cares this much.
"Please just know that..." I stopped for more effect. He just listened and waited for my last comment. " this is...a PRANK!" I opened my eyes and started to feel myself laugh out loud.
Toshiro POV.
I froze as I watched her and Rangiku laugh. They p-pranked me? And I fell for it! I feel so ridiculous!
Nanami POV.
"NANAMI!" Toshiro was angry and very upset. "Toshiro please don't get mad it was a prank" I said in haste scared. Suddenly, he pulled me into an embrace and my eyes opened wide. "Uhh..." I said confused and blushing.
"Don't ever scare me like that again!" he tightened his grip around me and then pulled away slightly. Our faces were a few centimeters away from each other and I felt the blood rush to my head. He stared at me intensely with his beautiful eyes. Then, he pulled away and got up leaving me frozen.
Was he about to kiss me?
