Prologue
"Time Stops''
They had won. Aizen had been defeated, Rukia was safe, and Renji had made it out alive. For Byakuya, it wasn't enough, he selfishly wanted more. He wanted Rayna. Rejecting any assistance, he made his way toward the fourth division. His wounds were not immediately life threatening but, they were taking their toll, and would be soon if not seen to. When he entered the hospital wing of the Seireitei, his body started to feel too heavy to carry him anymore. Slowly, proudly, and with all the dignity of his rank and title, he made his way to the first empty bed he could find and collapsed.
After he was healed, the duties of organizing the chaos of a war consumed all of his time. Hoping that Rayna would return, consumed all his thoughts. Weeks passed by and he heard nothing. Weeks turned into months and months stretched beyond a year, still nothing.
The disadvantage to living hundreds of years was time itself. In happiness, time flies by and in a blink. Five years passes in seconds. In sorrow, time is the enemy, because heartache can turn seconds into long tortured moments. Fifty years turns into an eternity. For Byakuya time passed the slowest when he longed for something. It was in those moments time stopped. The world whirled by around him, and even though he was affected by it, it still felt like he stood still. Hope had sustained him, time had trapped him, and his world was stagnant.
Be afraid, I have returned in all my single minded fangirl glory... and yes we know what that single minded thought is about. The new improved way hotter Byakuya. Who knew a wardrobe change could make him that much more...TASTY.
Sorry, for the spoilers. Go read the newest chapter of 'Bleach' and you will understand my excitement.
Any who, this is just the first installment. I may be slow to update but, rest assured it will be.
Bleach belongs to Tite Kubo, not me. But, thank you for not making me wait to much longer to see my Fangirl fantasy. Byakuya fangirl for life here...
