A/N: Hello everyone ! This is my first Fanfic ever. I've been thinking about this idea quite a lot lately so I decided to give it a shot. Don't forget to review! (Especially if you see grammatical errors as English is not my mother tongue). If you don't want to post publicly send me a PM, I'd love to hear from you. If you have constructive critics or suggestions, I'd gladly hear it but make sure you do it kindly. Your reviews will also allow me to improve my writing skills. If you don't like the ship… well, too bad for you! But try to give it a shot J
PS: Of course, I didn't finish reading the novels as the translations are still in progress, but I'll try to stay as true as possible to the canon elements of Bleach Universe. Ichigo and Orihime are adults in my story, they are going to be IC but in a mature version, so I guess they are going to be slightly OC compared to the manga. Well, enough of talking, here we go!
This prologue is an introduction to my story. It's a poem that I translated (from French) written by 'Never', entitled "Il aimait la mort, elle aimait la vie" and I slightly changed it. He got inspired by Romeo and Juliette from Shakespeare (this author choice is not a coincidence... Read it carefully ;) )
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach in any way.
Last but not least: A HUGE thank you for AxlMaster angelesewe and no-rhyme-no-reason-in-love for their kind words and motivation and also for my Beta readers KiraMika WillyVanry for taking their free time to read/correct my fic. You have my eternal gratitude!
He loved death, she loved life
He loved death, and its dark promises,
The uncertain future of a boy in distress,
He wanted to die, let his pain go,
Forget all these tasteless days...
She loved life, happy to exist,
Wanted to help people and grow up in peace,
It was a gift from heaven, always smiling,
Flowers and nature, rainy or windy weather
But one day, the fall began,
They fell in love, wrong choice,
She loved life and he loved death,
Which one of them was going to be stronger?
They loved each other so much, they would have sacrificed everything,
Friends and family, capable of denying everything,
Giving everything to love each other, that was their treasure,
But she loved life and he loved death...
So different and yet closer than anything,
Understanding each other to protect their love,
One only dreamed of dying and flying away,
The other, of a life with him far from the atrocities...
Forced to separate,
They had promised each other their eternal protection.
Today, the tortured boy lives for her,
Since the girl, for him, has given back her wings...
He loved death, she loved life,
He lived for her, she died for him.
