Chapter 1:

Present Day: Seikatsu

Forbidden. A powerful word that plagues my very existence. To be forbidden is to be cursed. Cursed with fear, greed, and death; so much death. A tear rolled down my cheek as my hand stroked the head of my beloved. Another body to add to the weight of all of my sins. We were supposed to win. What went wrong? What could we have done differently? I kissed his forehead and let him sink into the depths of the pond.

"May you rest in peace beside your children."

Centuries Earlier: Yushima Ōko

"Welcome to the 12th Division, Yushima Ōko. You will be assigned to Shinigami Research and Development Institute. You will be an intern for now. You are expected to help whenever possible and if you come up with an invention submit it to the counsel for review. If you have any questions refer to your handbook." The voice recording stated when I entered the room.

"What a warm welcome." I grumbled as I set my bag down. The room was cold with its sanitized steel furniture. I sat on the bed.

"An intern? Have I really fallen so far?" I sighed. I didn't like the idea, but it did give me a chance to start over; to reinvent myself. A soft dig brought me out of my thoughts. There was a blue light leaking out of the drawer of my desk. I went over to the desk and opened the drawer. Resting within it was a tablet that said: "Please, report to Lab 768. Bring tablet". I clicked the x and picked up the tablet.

"I don't even get the evening to settle in. Division 12 is living up to the slave driver title." I exited my room and set off into the maze of hallways. I found it eerie that every hallway looked exactly like the last. If it wasn't for the numbers I passed I would assume I was walking in circles.

"765…767…768. Let's see whose home." I placed my hand on the wall sensor and the doors opened revealing vats of chemicals and odd machines hanging everywhere. Some of the machines were being worked on and the high pitched noise they gave off made me cringe.

"Are you the intern we asked for?" A man's voice shouted over the noise. I followed the voice to a heavy set man with wild white hair. He was wearing a fire proof suit and had grease smeared over much of his face.

"Yes, sir. My name is Yushima Ōko."

"Welcome to my home, Yu. My name is Saru and I'm the boss around here. Let me show you around." He stated putting down his wrench as I walked over to him. "This beauty is part of the skeleton project." The machine had a cockpit and seed to be a suit of some kind.

"What is it?" I asked as he wiped his face with a greasy rag.

"It's an exoskeleton prototype. Hollows vastly out number Shinigami and not all Shinigami can fight. This baby will allow the weaker guys a fighting chance. There are still some bugs we have to work out though." Saru smiled.

"What bugs?" I asked intrigued.

"Well, it runs off of spirit energy. Thing is it requires a ridiculous amount and usually causes the user to go into a coma for a few months after." He explained.

"What's in the Vats?" I questioned.

"It's part of the Elder Green project. The idea is to make nature your personal army. All you need to do is place a couple of drops on some nearby greenery and it will use its own energy to become a humanoid solider. Again we're trying to tackle the inequality in Hollow to Shinigami ratio. The problems that were having with that is it doesn't have enough energy to change forms let alone fight. When we tried to amplify its energy with another chemical first and then poured elder green on top it either exploded or tried to destroy the person who created it." He sighed.

"Sounds like quite the conundrum."

"Yes, it is and it's a conundrum you will be helping with. Word of advice. Keep some acid handy. If you sprinkle it on them they lose their spirit energy and revert to a dissolving pile of twigs." Saru laughed. I grimaced. I was going to be the guinea pig that got attacked by salad every day. What a wonderful way to start my new life.

Note: I know this chapter is short, but I will try to make the chapters to come longer. Please, let me know what you think in the reviews. More reviews and follows means quicker turn around time for chapters.
