Her hands felt the soft grass that she was sitting on. She recognized it instantly. It felt just like the one where she first met her zanpakuto! She got up quickly, as she did this she yelled out, "Where are you?"
She was answered by the sound of a twig snapping behind her, spinning around, her long hair seems to flow like the river. Keeping silent and standing her ground as the same wolf from before appeared before her eyes, clearer than ever. "You were calling for me." He said, more of a fact than a question. His red eyes piercing her, almost as if he can easily see through her. As he took another step forward, fire suddenly spread around her in a circle, burning nothing else, not spreading throughout the forest floor or engulfing her with flames.
Reika looked around her, double checking that no fire was approaching her. She looked back into his eyes. "I-" She started. "You have trained yourself well. But it seems that you have to prove to no one but yourself to know my name." The wolf said and seemed to be giving her a smirk. She looked at him, not absorbing what he said at all. 'What did he mean prove to no one but myself?' She thought to herself. If she could have meet him now and learn his name, she would have nothing to fear for the graduation test.
"I just want to know you-" Reika got cut off by him again and this irritated her. "You will soon, kid. You have yet-" this time, the wolf got cut off by Reika, "Learn some manners you senseless wolf! You sound like an old man!" She yelled out and took a step forward. As she did so, the flames surrounding her flared up and the wolf raised his snout and laughed. He was so loud that it echoed throughout the area, and caused leaved to fall and wind to pick up speed.
"What's so funny?" Reika asked, demanding an explanation. The wolf seemed to have calmed down and amusement clouded his red eyes. "You will never cease to impress me, child." It said, smirking again. But before she could ask him for his name again, the forest around her started fading as well as the wolf. Before her surroundings completely disappeared, a strong howling wind blew at her angrily. "I still want to know your name!" She quickly exclaimed towards where the wolf was before.
"You will soon." That was the last words she heard.
Reika jerked up, panting heavily and her long fringe stuck to her forehead with sweat. She wiped it off with a hand, not realizing that she was on the rooftop. Suddenly, she lost her footing on the tiles and started sliding off the roof. She started screaming, not able to get a proper footing to use shunpo or get ahold of a tile that was securely intact. Reaching the end of the roof, she was sent flying through the air. Looking down, she screamed louder. Hoping someone would catch her before she breaks her spine.
