The Hardest Part of This Is Leaving You

Chapter 1: The Cold November Rain

Note: This story takes place two years after A Tale of Two Networks. Be warned: Unlike the last story, this one will have NO humor in it.

I do not own anything here. adult swim Moral Orel, or Bleach.

It was a cold, rainy day in the adult swim cemetery. There were no sounds outside, except for the occasional rumble of thunder. There was nothing noteworthy to see out there, except for the occasional flash of lightning, and a figure dressed in a black rain poncho kneeling in front of an old, worn out gravestone. The engraved words on the gravestone read "Christina Posabule: May God rests her soul. July 2nd 1993 – May 27th, 2007". The cloaked figure seemed to be praying, as his hands were together, and he was chanting strange words. He then reached under his poncho, and pulled out what seemed to look like a vial of blood. He dipped his thumb in the vial, and fingerprinted the gravestone with its contents.

"By the power of the great dark lord, I resurrect you, CHRISTINA POSABULE!" said the figure. The wind around the gravestone began to howl. The rain clouds began to turn dark, first gray, then black. A being began to rise from the ground. "Stop right there!" said a person, who just seemed to enter the cemetery. It was Byakuya Kuchiki, a person who had claimed wide acclaim in the Adult Swim army. "So, you survived", said the figure. The wind began to swirl more. "You will NOT get away this time!" said Byakuya. "You saw my power last time, but I guess another demonstration is in order". The cloaked figure then threw the poncho aside. He was wearing tattered clothes, had scars all over his arms and legs, and had greyed, dried out hair.

The wind was now howling very loud. "You will not be spared this time", said the person. "This time, I will not go easy on you, OREL!" said Byakuya. Orel pulled out a sword from under the poncho that he threw aside. The sword then flashed red. Orel began to form an evil smile on his face. "I guess you'll just have to die for getting in between me and my dream!" Orel screamed. He then lunged at Byakuya with a very twisted look on his face. Byakuya pulled out the Senbon Zakura and it flashed purple. He was very close in dodging Orel's attack. Orel slashed at him a few more times, and one of the slashes was able to connect with the wound that almost killed Byakuya in their last fight. Blood started to pour out of Byakuya's clothes. Orel then took another lunge; this time with so much intensity that it sent Byakuya flying.

Byakuya flew into a huge gravestone and got himself pierced by a couple of bone shards. "I guess this really is the end…" Byakuya smirked. "You're damn right! Now, for coming in between me and my dream, you will PERISH!" Orel then swung his sword at Byakuya. Byakuya couldn't dodge it this time. He was killed. "Now, before this pathetic excuse for a distraction came along, where were we? Oh, yeah. In Signum DIABOLI!"

The being that paused when Odin came fully arose from the ground. "I hope you haven't forgotten about our little deal" said Orel. The creature spoke. "No, quite the contrary. I was actually looking forward to this deal for some time. You got the requirements?" "Yep. 1000 Vials of blood from my closest Allies and Friends. And I didn't know if killing them was a requirement, but I didn't take any chances. You see that person over there? He was my final score, but I don't even know if he was even worth killing." "It wasn't a requirement, but you did do well", said the creature. "Very well, I shall bring back your long, lost lover."

There was an explosion of gold dust. A figure stepped out of the dust. "Christina!" said Orel, obviously happy to see his love again. "Orel!" said Christina, happy as well. They embraced. "It's so good to see you!" said Christina. "Good to see you too, Christina. Now what should we do tonight? I know! Let's go Ballroom Dancing!" said Orel. "Okay!" said Christina. The two of them took each-other's hand and started skipping. Then they kissed.

Later that evening…

You know how they say before you die your life flashes before your eyes? Well, Orel and Christina went ballroom dancing, and in the middle of it, the doors banged open, and a terribly wounded Frylock came in. He pulled out a shotgun. "Orel Puppington." he started. "For crimes that have been committed against the Adult Swim community, I hereby sentence you to immediate execution". Frylock then fired two shots out of the gun. The two shots hit Orel and Christina. Christina died instantly, but Orel was alive, and, while bleeding on the floor, paused for a moment. "What did I do to deserve this?" Orel asked himself. "Was all that I worked for just for this moment? The moment of my death, was that my reward?" He then reflected on all the things that got him to that point…
