Chapter 2
"Chizuru-chan?" Souji Okita looked at her, cocking and eyebrow.
"Huh..? Oh!" Chizuru Yukimura jumped at the sound of his voice. "I'm sorry Okita-san, do you need something?"
"No, you just seemed out of it." Souji hmmed, looking outward.
Chizuru blushed in embarrassment. A gust of wind whooped past, making Chizuru wince. The wind ripped her hair tie away, causing her ponytail to come undone. Her hair floated down and surrounded her face.
"Ack!" Her hands flew to her face. "Oh no! That hair tie..." She whirled around. "I can't lose it!" She ran after the tie.
"Wait, Chizuru-chan!" Souji bolted to his feet and dashed after her.
The tie rode the wind, floating and dancing gracefully on the breeze. Chizuru snatched at it, her eyes desperate. The tie slipper in and out of her grasp. "No!"
"Chizuru! Stop!" Souji kept running, swatting tree branches out of his face. "You can't go there!"
She didn't listen to him and jumped to grab the hair tie. Her fingers grazed the tie but then she plummeted. Chizuru shrieked as she fell downward into a lake.
Souji slowed to a stop at the bank, laughing. "I told you so." He squatted down, smirking. "C'mon. Get out of there."
The lake's surface remained still and the hair tied floated down onto the lake causing ripples. Souji frowned and slid closer. "Chizuru-chan?"
No response.
No...
Souji searched the waters desperately. "Chizuru!" He dove into the water. His robes rose as Souji looked around him. A startled fish stared back at him. Souji gazed back and forth. His expression turned pained and he shot up to the surface.
"CHIZURU!" He yelled, circling around. "CHIZURU ANSWER ME!"
Her hair tie surfed the water next to him. He picked it up and clenched his fist around it.
"Chizuru..."
A sudden coughing sounded behind him. He whirled around to face the source.
A petite raven haired woman drenched to her bones lay coughing on the bank. Her black robes clung to her skinew and shook in time with her coughs.
Souji drew himself out of the water, onto the bank. He approached the girl, cautiously. His hand wen to his katanas.
The girl propped herself up but was knocked down again by Souji.
"What did you do to Chizuru!?" Souji hissed, angrily.
She coughed. "W-who?"
"My friend!" Souji yelled. "What the hell did you do to Chizuru!?"
The girl slapped st his chest and knocked him back. "I don't know who or what you're talking about but you need to cool it!"
Souji backed up, his sword itching to be unsheated. "State your name."
The girl looked up at him, coldly as she pushed herself up. Her dark, purple eyes were piercing.
"I'm Rukia. Rukia Kuchiki."
I hate this site sometimes.
