Prologue


Gin POV

I simply sat under a shade tree watching Naruki as she went over, and asked a few faver from her lieutenant. "Can you send these reports about the increase of Menos; Gillian level to the head captain?" She asked Mokari Namoma. Mokari simply nodded with a happy face. Usually if it was another person I would kill then at night, but Mokari only saw Naruki as someone to surpass.

Finally Naruki took notice of me under the tree, and waved with a huge, charming smile. I simply smiled back. Naruki quickly rushed to meet me for lunch. I stood up lazily waiting for Naruki to come out, and hop on back. Like I predicted, she came in running, when she got near enough she hopped on my back, wrapped her arms loosely around my neck, and her legs wrapped around my waist. I adjusted her on my back, then securely grabbed onto her legs so she wouldn't fall. Its funny. I'm three years older than her, but i'm still a lieutenant, while she's a captain with the second highest ranking squad, the head captain being the first. Her squad is known as the Menos Hunters. Specialised at defeating High class Hollows, and higher ranking one at that two.

"Where do you want to go for lunch?" She asked while playing with my hair. "Some where," I simply replied. We walked around the Soul Society. People gave Naruki weird looks but never bothered to question it.

After a little while of walking we came by the cherry blossom park where Naruki loves so much. We walked towards her very own cherry blossom tree, that Byakuya made for her. Soon we were munching on Narukis favorite foods, talking, and just enjoying eachothers presence. Everything was perfect. Till one day.

On July 8th, Naruki was reported missing on her mission to take care of a group of Menos. We sent search squads all over the world, to look for her, but neither one found a

single trace of her. It was like she simply disappeared. After two years of searching we gave up, everything was different. Squad 14 never got a new captain. No one fitting enough to replace Naruki, and thats when…...I became…...A cold hearted snake. The captain of squad Three. The squad who picks on squad 14, under my orders.
