Author's notes
Well actually I was planning to place this story due to a lack of positive response and was about to delete it, until a few reviews after so long…. And because of the sudden increase in people who followed the story I shall continue this story ^^, and pardon the first few chapters of bad writing I will proof-read, during the weekends, other than that hope you enjoy this new chapter, hinamori…

Previous chapter recap,
Walking into dragonsreach, the jarl congratulated him,
"We finally know that we can kill dragons, and for your services to whiterun and the killing of the dragon I grant you the title, thane of whiterun, you shall be given a housecarl and I shall give you the axe of whiterun, an axe passed down in my family line for a long time, but it seems more appropriate to have it since I rarely go out for hunting now." "I will have my steward prepare you Breezehome for free, you will have to purchase the furnishings yourself, but
Consider it a large discount for your services, you may also choose to join us
For dinner any day you wish, and while your house is prepared, you may stay
In the guest quarter tonight"
"Hinamori please come here…"
Hinamori dressed in full leather armour came out from a pillar bowing,
"Yes my lord?"
"My new thane I hereby assign you Hinamori here as your new housecarl,
Hinamori immediately turned and stared, as Toshiro's and Hinamori's gaze met,
.
.
Hinamori seeing Toshiro rubbed her eyes in disbelief, "Shiro, is that really you?"
Toshiro who was still in shock, paused for a while before nodding silently.
Hinamori stifling back her tears, regained a small fraction of her composure, and showed toshiro to the guest room, fearing the Jarl might decide to replace her with Lydia.
The room was a rather well furnished place, while nothing compared to Toshiro's captain quarter back in soul society but, Toshiro betted that it was nicer than most houses in skyrim.
After stepping into the room,
Hinamori sealed the door, and immediately hugged toshiro,
"Shiro…I've missed you so much, I was thinking about you this whole time, at least now we are together, and I can finally protect you." Hinamori smiled meekly
"You Baka… (Sniffles a bit) I've thought about you, the moment I've landed in this weird world…"
"I'm really sorry about the aizen incident, but I hope you can forgive me…" Toshiro said apologetically.
"It's fine…"
After a few minutes of awkward silence… Toshiro spoke first…
"Hinamori, I'm gonna take a shower first… it's been a long day, killing dragons, realising I'm dragonborn, and seeing you again after so long… besides I think it would be rude to our host if I came for dinner smelling like charred meat."
Hinamori smiled, and took showed Toshiro to the wardrobe to take clothes from, and guiding him to the bath house.
(Well since, there is no actual possible way to find a toilet in skyrim, and it is not going to be the rivers of whiterun, I'll just place an imaginary bath house at the bottom of the castle)
After a short soak in the warm water, refilled from the river of whiterun and constantly heated by fire energy of a few well placed soul gems, Toshiro was dressed in a comfortable new shirt, as they joined the jarl for dinner.
Dinner consisted of roasted chicken, mammoth cheese cake, light alto wine for Toshiro and Hinamori, and some sweet rolls.
The chicken was tender, the mammoth cheese was feeling, the wine reminded him of Matsumoto drinking sake all the time... And the sweet rolls were to die for… no wonder the whole of skyrim is obsessed with these.
The jarl was asking Toshiro how he managed to complete two impossible feats, killing the dreuger overlord as well as the dragon attacking whiterun, which is no small feat even to the captain of the guards.
Toshiro described to the Jarl about how he managed to kill the dragon also lying that he came from a dragon-slaying clan from cyrodil, and how after a failed dragon hunt, only he and his mother was alive, and how his mother had died, from an assassin. He also lied about Hinamori being a close friend of his, before he migrated to skyrim, and that he never dreamed of seeing her here.
The Jarl chuckled a bit, saying how Toshiro should become a trainer here, and teach guards how to slay dragons.
"But it's a family secret" Toshiro said trying to discourage the jarl…
"Hope you have kids soon than… you are the last of your family's line after all"
Hinamori and Toshiro both blushed a deep shade of red, making the jarl chuckle,
"How I wish my children will grow up to be as helpful and skilled as you Toshiro…anyway I will pass to you a whiterun shield, which Farengar the court mage enchanted as a present, it is light and strong, it also helps to boost your stamina and magicka, use it well."
Thanking the jarl, Toshiro somewhat promised that he will teach the Jarl's child some sword skills when the child reaches 13 years old. The jarl said that he would hold Toshiro to his word. Following that , Toshiro went back to the guest room where he had a good sleep for the first time, no Aizen, no dragons, no dreugers were gonna steal his well deserved rest as he finally could sleep at ease knowing Hinamori was safe.
As the sun entered the small window the next morning, Toshiro saw the petite form of Hinamori sleeping on a smaller bed next to his, Toshiro headed to the bathroom to wash his face before he wore back his travelling gear, and keeping the whiterun shield in his inventory, he grabbed a sweetroll from the kitchen and went outside of dragonsreach,
A small breeze blew against Toshiro's face outside of the keep, as he smiled with satisfaction, while looking at the beautiful view of the city below.
"I heard you helped the Jarl, on behalf of the city of whiterun, I thank you"
Jumping Toshiro turned to notice the guard; blushing… he nodded his head, to embarrassed to say anything. The guard chuckled and walked off.
Half eating the sweet roll, Hinamori in full leather gear, rushed forward and berated him for leaving the castle without informing her… apologetically Toshiro gave some of the candy to Hinamori who popped it into her mouth, her face blushed, as her sweet tooth was activated.
~Avren family sword~
Somewhere close by… a redguard male was talking to his wife about trying to go collect a sword or something, but it was too dangerous.
Sighing to himself about how his good nature will be the death of him, Toshiro decided to go and speak to the man.
"What was that argument about?"
"Nothing…just wanted to get back my family sword, my grandfather spent a fortune on that sword and to see it go to waste is just terrible…" sighs "it's not like you can help me.."
"I'm the thane of whiterun, I'm certain I can help you…Toshiro said with a smirk, and thought how useful being a thane was"
"My apologies thane, I did not recognise you, if you wish to help, I traced the bandits who stole it all the way to halted stream camp, if you help me, and I'll reward you in coins and train you in sword fighting."
"I'll be back soon…" as he ran out of the gates and Hinamori followed in tail...
After leaving the sight of any guards, she told Hinamori to shumpo with him to the bandit camp, apparently near the river coast. Using the rapid shumpos they made it to a 100m away from the camp, behind a rock. Toshiro drew an arrow, calculating the distance he aimed an arrow at a bandit, and was about to shoot, when a thunderous roar caused him to lose balance.
A dragon flew overhead Toshiro, as it's released a fiery breath at the bandit camp, the shouts of bandits could be heard, frantic screams and some who sacrificed their life willingly to let other bandits flee into the camp, a few arrows were shot at the dragon, but finally the dragon prevailed. The dragon charged towards the rock they were hiding at, Toshiro not letting any harm fall upon Hinamori did not waste any time in calling upon hyoinmaru and activating its bankai.
The battle was tough as this dragon was much stronger than the previous one at the watch tower,
Matching claw to steel , but there was one deciding factor, Hinamori who seized the distraction from Toshiro, had chanted a full incantation as a quick lightning coursed through the dragon, as the dragon's skin began peeling and its energy was absorbed by Toshiro.
Toshiro thought to himself "thank god for Hinamori"
Entering the mine, few bandits put up a fight and many surrendered, most were too injured by the burns of the dragon flames, after the bandit chief was killed, the other so called higher ranking bandit offered the bandits to serve Toshiro if they spared their life, agreeing, while bandits have to pay for their crimes, that perhaps this bandits can do some good deeds under toshiro. So Toshiro and Hinamori went to heal the bandits with kido, a few found it scary, while most accepted it.
Apparently the previous bandit chief had a lot of gold that he kept to himself, so the bandits agreed using the gold as a capital; they will run a escort service, where they work as bodyguards. The bandits will also sell minerals mined from the cave, which 10% of the business goes to Toshiro a month.
After reclaiming the Amren family sword from the chief, he went back to whiterun, where he returned back to Amren…
"Is that my family sword?"
"Took a while, but I did it" he said proudly
"You have no idea how much you have done for me, here I'll teach you a few sword tricks my father used to like, and I'll give you 300 coins for your help..."
At this moment a whiterun guard approached him,
"Honoured Thane, the court mage has instructed me to pass you these letters of recommendation at the college of Winterhold, for you to study there should you choose to…" it was impossible to tell how the guard's face was… but from his voice, it was easy to tell that he hated the college…
Opening up the letter, it read,
To the Archmage of the College of winterhold,
I am writing this letter to recommend two possible new students at the college, one a white haired Imperial boy, Toshiro, who not only slew a dragon but is dragon born as well; he also shows extreme promise and seems already quite skilled in ice magic .He is also the thane of whiterun. The other is a raven haired imperial girl called Hinamori who serves as his housecarl, who despite showing great skill in swordsmanship, she also possesses a wide range of spells, some I have never seen before or read of, even in the college library. She also is found to have a sharp mind and able to formulate a battle strategy against a complete stranger who was her opponent.
Despite the fact that they are below the normal required entry age of one seeking to join the college, I hope you will grant them special permission to enter.
Many thanks, and may the odds ever be in your favour,
Farengar secret fire, court mage of whiterun
PS: do not call the boy a kid or insult his height, he apparently takes offense to it.
Below the letter was a seal of a crown at the bottom, and the whiterun horse symbol on it,
"Hinamori want to go to school?"
Cliff hanger, please review for me, the more reviews the more tempted I will be to update.
