I try but it's so hard to believe....

♠❙— Spade just grins, confused like all hell. “…I really do look like my dad.”

     "A-ah... Yeah you do."

❆‖— Loud yelp. “—!! Ryou-chan! Don’t do that!! You scared the daylights out of me!”

     "Ahhh...? Sorry Taichou-sama, I was just happy to see you."

❆‖— Thinking he should tie his hair back again…

     Casually tackle hugs her uncle from behind, "Taichou-sama!"

"Oh my beautiful lady, that’s where you’re wrong! It’s like love at first sight! Ne, ne, do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?

      "I see, I've heard about your type. You flirt incandescently with anybody who's female, the books I read say I am to turn you down and walk away. But I don't really feel like being alone either so..." A sigh left parted lips before she squeaked. "L-love at first sight?! D-don't be foolish it can take a hundred years or more for love to encapture a heart!"

"Heal me? Ahahaha I was gonna say no, but sure! Have a date with me and I’ll be fine, sweets~! heee"

     "A... date? Isn't that what humans go on if they're attracted to each other, why on earth would you ask me out. I'm not pretty or attractive."

√__Echni gave a slow nod of understanding at that, kneeling down next to the shinigami to place herself at their level. “I know….. Not having parents can be tough. There are things other kids don’t understand. Don’t want to understand. For them they….take things for granted because the thought of losing them, being like us, is too scary for them. It’s not really their fault, but it doesn’t make things any easier.” she murmured, turning her head to gently pat the girl on the head. “Things will get better….eventually.”__√

     "I miss my mommy and my dad... I just wanna curl up in my bed, I wanna go home." she whispered, clutching at the uniform skirt. "I've begun to forget what it feels like to have daddy scold me, or my mommy to hold me. I'd forgotten what they sound like, what they look like!"

"Hey, you alright?" she asked the child, a hint of concern in her voice as she did so.__√

     "I suppose... I just want what they have." she whispered. "A place to call home and a mom and dad." she whispered, looking away now. "I... I.. It's not fair!" she cried out.       "They have it and don't even appreciate it! I... I want my mother and father back." Blue eyes wam with tears now as she looked at the elder woman. 

When you realize something’s important, why is it already gone?

Of course the attendance was what she had expected. Most new healers were nervous, hesitant. Things it often took experience to get rid of. Calm navy hues move across each face, expectant, but holding an indifferent air always helped here. It was how she sifted through personalities rather quickly. The admiration shining over the young girl’s face was evident. With the slightest bow of her head, she spoke. "I am the Yonbantai Taichō, Unohana Retsu — I look forward to  seeing what your hard work and dedication has brought to you.”

     "It's very nice to meet you, Unohana-Taichō." she greeted with a bow of her head that was deeper than the one that the female captain had given them all. "I... I'm very honoured to meet you!"

"Then heal me! If you can’t fight then I’ll fight for the BOTH of us. Give me back my energy, and if youre not gonna fight then give me some of yours. Just keep me up and running and I’ll fight enough for the both of us!”__√

    "Lyashi no hikari." A wonderful blue light surrounded them, from her body, energy of her soul flowed forward as she forced that energy into the woman before her. "Here! Take it all!" she cried out, to heal the girl back to one hundred percent.
