I found myself staring into those eyes. Longer than I should have been. Far longer. They were completely entrancing, mesmerising and so amazingly unique. I'd never seen such piercing, cool orbs in my life.

They had this coldness and sharpness to them, that made it seem they could look into your very soul. The way if you could look close enough there was that hint of ocean blue at the very edge of the eye before it blended into the easier seen aqua and then the bright turquoise which had first captured my gaze.

Yes. I stared into them for far too long. There was something else though. Something odd. Odd and familiar. There was this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that didn't leave. That refused to stop.

Why? Why did they seem so familiar? Why do they remind me of something? Of someone? Something flickered in their eyes then. Shock? Surprise? Recognition?

"You. What's your name," they asked. I blinked before the internal panicking started. Crap crap crap! Oh no no no! What do I say? What do I say?! I didn't think I'd get caught so quick!

"H- Hinari Mimi..." I replied quietly. He's going to figure me! He's so going to figure me out!

"Well Hinari Mimi, what squad do you belong to?" they demanded. I shook my head lightly, trying to get a hold of myself.

"S- squad?" I said questioningly. I looked properly at them, not just the eyes. Tan skin, snowy white hair that spiked upwards, furrowed eyebrows which were as white as his hair and- a captain's coat! He looked so young! He was that bit shorter than me, if I was standing, which I'm not... I'm still crouching behind a fridge.

"Yes squad. You're a soul reaper aren't you? You're wearing the robes," he stated matter-of-factly. Ah, I forgot I was wearing those... Wait he thinks I'm a proper soul reaper? Really?! Wow! This is like a dream come true.

What do I say? I got stuck in the world of the living? But I could've used my zan pactuo to get back to the Seretei so... That's not even what he asked! Okay okay, just say a random number from one to thirteen Momo.

"T- ten?" I said, not feeling very sure of myself. His eyebrows furrowed more. He crossed his arms over his chest and studied my face for a moment. I tried avoiding those piercing orbs of his.

"I don't recognise you, yet you say you're in my squad," he said slowly. I fidgeted with my hands. Isn't this turning out great. So not only do I say I'm in the same squad as this guy but I get caught by a captain of the thirteen court guard squads! Things couldn't go more wrong...

"Hina-Chan! I've missed youuuuu," a voice exclaimed excitedly. Caught completely off guard I looked up quickly only to get tackled to the ground. I dizzily looked up. Neh, who was hugging me? What... I'm very confused. No way its Kasuti...

"Matsumoto, get off her," he said. "But Captaaaaaaaaain," she complained in a whiney voice.

"I'll cover for you for now. Just play along," she whispered in my ear before getting up and holding out a hand. I took it and she pulled me up. I got a proper look at her then.

Bright and slightly wavy strawberry-blonde hair along with ice blue eyes. She had a lieutenant's badge tied to a light pink ribbon and a massive... Chest? Why am I so... Not that! Now really isn't the time for this though... She is after saying she'll help me so she must be a pretty nice person. I smiled at her.

"Long time no see... Matsumoto-san," I said, hoping I got her name right. She grinned. Someone cleared their throat. I looked at the white-haired captain. Is he really a captain?

"Anyways... I want to know why a member of my squad is doing in the world of the living, when they aren't supposed to be," he stated giving me an accusing glare. I gulped.

"Neh, Captain no need to be so scary. It's not Hina-Chan's fault. You see I asked Hina-Chan to do a favour for me. I couldn't find any more of my 'Something Strawberry' cosmetics anywhere in the Seretei! So I asked her to come to Urahara's shop to see if Yoruichi knew anything about it! That's why she's here Captain," the woman told him. I have to say, she sounds extremely convincing.

"Then why was she hiding?" he asked.

"Need you ask? That glare you were giving the poor girl a moment ago is enough reason for her to not want to be on your bad side!" the woman- Matsumoto- told him.

"Last time I checked though, I'M IN CHARGE OF MY SQUAD MATSUMOTO!" he yelled in frustration at her.

"That's hardly fair, I'm the lieutenant I should be allowed some control over the squad," she replied, giving him a pleading look. He scowled.

"Pretty much any other lieutenant is fine, but you. You're a different story altogther," he said rolling his eyes.

"I'll take that as a compliment," she said flipping her hair and closing her eyes.

"It wasn't one. It was an insult," he said plainly before bringing his attention back to me.

"You. Hinari Mimi right? Come on. We were heading back to the Seretei today anyways. And don't worry about her stupid favour. She should've done it herself," he said before turning around and starting to walk away.

"R- right," I stuttered before gathering my wits and following him.

"I'm not sure this is wise," Kasuti said to me. I jumped.

"Kasuti-san! Don't scare me like that!" I exclaimed holding my hand to my chest.

"My apologies," she said quietly.

"N- no, don't be! It's fine Kasuti-san!" I told her, giving the blonde a reassuring smile.

"Let me guess..." he said sarcastically, "another member of my squad I don't know about?" Kasuti shook her head.

"Squad nine," she told him. He shook his head in exasperation.

"I don't even want to hear it. Talk to Hisagi when you get back and give him your excuse," he said. I noticed Kasuti's ocean blue eyes widen.

"Hisagi? Hisagi... Shuhei?" she whispered to no one in particular.

"Kasuti-san? Is something wrong?" I asked her. She shook her head.

"I'm fine. Just surprised..." she answered me. I frowned. I wonder if she knows this.. Hisagi Shuhei. Or rather I wonder how she knows him...
