CHAPTER 1

Betrayed. Traitor. Tricked. Duped. These words, along with many others, ran through my head as my friend placed the shackles and collar of the slaves on me. Rangiku Matsmumoto. The only friend I ever had has just sold me into slavery. Why?!

"Why Ran?" I'll be damned if I don't leave without the reason why she would do this.

"Why? Simple Ichigo, Darling." I couldn't help but flinch at the pure venom in her tone when she said 'darling'. "Your beauty and intelligence out ways my own. No matter where I go you are the one on peoples lips! No matter where we go I am ignored when you are near! I can't stand it! I should be the one they look at with love and lust in their eyes. Not You!" She shouted. "Now I can finally get rid of you once and for all."

"Rangiku! What kind of fucked up reasoning is that? I thought we were friends." I yelled.

"Well, you were wrong. Besides who would want to be friends with a freak like?" She laughed. She had to rub salt into the wounds. She knows I won't be able to get over my past.

One thought ran through my head. Jealous bitch. That was the only thing running through my head as my trust and my heart was locked away in a steel box covered in chains. She was my only friend! The only person I could trust! And she betrayed me!

I was yanked from my thoughts as the slave trader viciously yanked on the chains connected to my collar and wrist shackles. I was loaded onto the wagon with two other slaves. I didn't even bother to look at them or talk to them. I watched the last view of Karakura town I would probably see shrink to a mere speck. The peacock hybrid stood there with her peacock feathers standing proudly behind her as she smirked at me.

I will never trust anyone ever again.

I will never allow anyone into my heart ever again.

I don't want anyone to hurt me…ever again…

My resolve towards my fate and new found promise to never let anyone close to again was set firmly into place as the sun set over the horizon.

Little did I know I would be rethinking that promise I made…

So what did you think? Please review!

I will be uploading the new chapter real soon!
