By the time the long lecture about rules was over, I had found out a few things. Firstly, I had found out that this was a school that taught you how to be a shinigami, like Tōshirō. I also found out that I would live in the dorms with a dorm mate of my choice (Mitsuru had already agreed to be my dorm mate), and lastly, that if I was here, I had a great potential with my spiritual pressure.
When it was over, they directed us into the pairs of dorm mates and lead us to our dorms. Inside it was like a regular room, with bamboo walls and tatami mat flooring. There were two futons on either side of the room and a wardrobe full of our new uniforms, which we were told to put on. It had red pants (I always forget the parts of the shihakushō sorry) and a white top with a red stripe running up both sides.
When the schools representative left, we quickly changed, because it was time for dinner. They were having a feast for the new first years. All of the captains would be attending, which probly meant Tōshirō would be there too, so I asked Mitsuru if there was a way to make sure he couldn't find me.
"Well, you can try masking your reiatsu, but that usually takes years of practice," she answered.
I sighed. Oh well, I'm just going to have to face him and try to out run him. I thought. I decided to tell Mitsuru about why Tōshirō was angry at me. When I finished explaining it to her she said this:
"You shouldn't tell anyone about the ring, and keep it hidden. Maybe we can get a chain for it and you can put it on as a necklace. But keep it hidden, okay?"
I nodded. By this time, we had reached the cafeteria. The moment we walked in, Tōshirō was trying to go out, so I came face-to-face with him.
"KAAARIIN"
Uh oh.
I swiftly turned around and ran down the corridors. I had no clue where I was going, but it seemed as though Tōshirō knew exactly where he was going. I turned down a hallway and my heart practically died. It was a dead end.
Just as I was about to come up with some excuse for him not to kill me, a voice came from the hall I was just in.
"Tōshirō! What the hell are you doing to my sister? If you even think about hurting her I'll…"
Just then, a tall boy with bright orange hair appeared.
"Your sister…? Huh?" Tōshirō's voice betrayed confusion.
Just then something struck me.
"…Ichigo…" the voice rolled off my tongue so easily. I felt something inside me stir. A pounding in my head started suddenly. It hurt. That's all I could think of. My mind just went blank. I couldn't stand anymore as the world spun around me.
Traitor. Traitor. That's what you are. A traitor.
Voices called out to me. They said the same things over and over again. Why? Could it have something to do with my memory loss?
Two warm arms hugged me. I suddenly felt at ease. The voices had stopped. The arms lifted me up and pulled me closer to a warm body. I gladly accepted the heat and snuggled closer to it. It felt so… nostalgic.
"Tōshi"
{Tōshirō's POV}
"Tōshi."
My heart skipped a beat. Why… did this seem so familiar? Argh!
I never understood why you were considered a genius.Hyorinmaru said in my head.
What do you mean, Hyorinmaru? I thought.
He sighed. I tried to talk to him again, but he was ignoring me. Great. Just when I need him, he won't answer. Stupid Hyorinmaru. I usually can't get him to shut up.
Well, I had better get her to the Fourth Division and have Unohana-Taichō look at her. I stood up and shunpoed off.
