This is a piece of my upcoming BLEACH fanfic that is a continuation of "Standing Tall". There's one more story in between, but I got bored while writing "Standing Tall", so....
Chapter Title: Those Green Eyes
Pairing in most of the fanfic: Shusuke Amagai/OC, Ulquiorra/Orihime
Story Title: Take A Bow

Take A Bow

'I don't recall the last time, really, I don't. I should, but I just can't! What's wrong with me? I don't want to be a rude person and forget.... when was the last time I saw his face? He was so kind back then! What's his name?!'

Machi slammed her fist into the wall, cracking the wood. This was infuriating! She had to know what was going through her head, but it was all blurred and she couldn't recall the last time she'd seen those eyes look back at her. She knew those eyes, but who was he?!

Machi's hand reached up and touched her eye. He had the same eyes as her, but he could obviously see out of both, meanwhile, Machi could only see out her left eye. If he was who she thought, then maybe it would explain the eye thing....

"Machi, are you alright?!" She turned around and started breathing. She was here from the Soul Society on a mission, this was no time to run off from her friends! She had no means of escape anyways! Wait, did she? "Machi-chan!"

"Coming!" She scurried over and almost ran into her co-captain. She still had to remind herself that she was part of the Royal Guard now. Each captain had at least one helper, except for the first captain. Each of the ten squadrons had their own set of rules and boundaries. But Machi still had trouble remembering the things she had to do when she was told so by her superior captain.

"Machi-chan, you seriously need to stop running away like that.... you're going to scare Kai...."

Machi didn't look up and ran flat into someone else. She made an "eek" sound and fell back. She heard the person she'd run into gasp. "gomen...." she said, rubbing her forehead and noticed that he was one of the captains of the Gotei.

"I'm so sorry! Are you alright?!" He was freaking out and his companion was trying to figure out why. The man had slightly unshaven features and his dark hair was slightly disarranged from him trying to see if she was okay. "I'm so sorry! I should pay more attention, but I didn't. I'm sorry. Are you alright? I'm so sorry!!"

"Are you?" Machi moved and felt her ankle twinge with pain. "Because I'm not. I twisted my ankle. Heh, that might be because I fell funny." She smiled brightly at this captain.

"Amagai-taicho! She's injured! We have to get her some medical help!"

'That's right.... I forgot I was wearing my robes....'
