This is an introduction chapter for Rukia, it's just giving some background information and the reason why she pursues a certain someone, anyway enjoy
I remember the day like it was yesterday. I remember so clearly what happened that day, that it scares me. My sister, her face, the emptiness in her eyes, and her struggling breaths, I remember that all too well. My brother always said she died of illness, but she was murdered. She wasn't murdered by a human, no it was a demon who took her away. I remember every detail of him. He had black wings, shocking orange hair, and a dark twisted grin. Unfortunately I didn't get to see his eyes.
I remember discovering that my brother had lied to me to protect me. He was a leader of a secret organization within the Church that dealt with demons and devoted all of their time to eliminating them. After I found out I trained in secret, and one day against my brothers will, I presented myself to the Church, hoping they'd let me join. I remember this day perfectly as well.
Flashback
I awoke suddenly in my bed, my muscles still sore from the intense training I did yesterday, yet despite the soreness I was full of energy and excited. Today was the day I'd join the Church as a demon hunter, also known as an exorcist. My mission was simple, join the Church and hunt down my sisters killer, and when I found him I'd kill him.
I stretched my arms and quickly took off my sleep wear and entered the shower. I let the water hit my face as I slowly awoke. I never took warm showers... only cold showers. I felt most at peace when it was cold. I'd always play in the snow as a kid, and I still do every now and then. In fact when I turned 14 this year I went to a ski resort and spent the entire time playing in the snow or training.
I remember telling my brother about what I planned to do. He immediately told me not to do it and that I was too young anyway, that if I got involved with demons now I'd just die while still a teenager. I decided to ignore him and today I was going no matter what, even if he dragged me back home I'd still go back, I'd continue to go back till they allowed me to join, and no one was going to get in my way.
After washing my body and exiting the shower I got dressed. I had a hard time choosing, not knowing if I should dress really formally or casually, in the end I decided religious clothing would be best.
After throwing on my "I Love Jesus" shirt and a skirt I ran out the door grabbing a piece of bread and started on my path to the Church.
I remembering nearing the Church and as I entered and neared the secret passageway I remember having a powerful sensation cover my body. It was amazing. The sensation was warm and made my skin tingle, but that feeling was quickly killed when I came face to face with my brother who was currently wearing his exorcist robes.
He eyed me intently, "Rukia... what are you doing here? I remember telling you to never get involved with the exorcists or demons... this world is something I don't want you to be a part of."
I felt the anger rising in me, I didn't care about the danger or any of that I just wanted to relieve this pain in my chest my avenging my sister and I won't let anyone stand in the way even if the person in my way is my sisters husband, "Nii-sama you know I am already involved... and I won't leave until I find him and run him through, I have to avenge my sister."
My brother continued to stare at me and finally after a long moment of silence sighed. He then told me something I'd didn't want to hear, "Rukia do you even know who killed Hisana?"
I shook my head regrettably. I honestly had no idea who or what killed her... all I knew was that he had orange hair and black wings with a revolting grin.
Byakuya looked at me and sighed, "Rukia, what killed Hisana is something that is completely out of your league. Hisana was killed by a fallen angel, and not any ordinary fallen angel. The fallen angel who killed Hisana was a former leader of the Grigori, Ichigo Kurosaki. You could train for a million years and you'd never be able to get close enough to kill him, that is how powerful he is."
That name repeated constantly in my head, "Ichigo Kurosaki, Ichigo Kurosaki, Ichigo Kurosaki." I could feel the anger in my body rising along with a weird sense of happiness. I now knew the name of my sisters killer, and I'd make sure to avenge her.
I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't notice my brother was still talking.
"Rukia if you are completely serious about this I'll allow you to join, but I have to tell you something important. We exorcists make contracts with celestial beings to fight demons, the one I'm contracted to is called Senbonzakura, it is because of him I'm able to fight demons. If you're accepted as an exorcist you'll have to make a contract with a celestial being, otherwise you'll never even be able to think about killing demons."
I wasn't expecting that. My brother is actually allowing me to join. The happiness I felt at that moment was unbelievable, my brother was actually acknowledging me and my abilities. All I had to do now was be accepted into the branch and a squad and make a contract with a celestial being and hunt down Ichigo Kurosaki and kill him and then finally my sister would be avenged. Actually now that I think about it I have to do a lot, I might be an old lady before I even accomplish all of that... but it doesn't matter. All that matters is I know the name of the man who killed my sister. Ichigo Kurosaki I'll make sure you regret the day when you killed Hisana.
End of Flashback
That was 2 years ago. After talking with my brother on that day I went before the Church and was accepted. I joined the 13th demon protection squad under leader ship of Jūshirō Ukitake and made a contract with Sode no Shirayuki- a celestial being with a divinity for ice.
In those 2 years I haven't found any leads on Ichigo Kurosaki, I've only found leads for the current leader of the Grigori- Aizen. It doesn't matter though, one day we'll cross paths and he'll die.
I have complete faith in my abilities now. While I haven't reached stage 2 of my weapon I am still strong enough to hold my own against a captain for a while. I continue to get stronger everyday and I'm even a lieutenant for the 13th squad now. Despite all my responsibilities- going to school, doing a normal part-time job, exorcising demons, and hunting down Ichigo Kurosaki- I live a fairly comfortable life, but I don't care about that.
I won't allow myself to live peacefully until I kill you Ichigo Kurosaki. You're the reason for all my grief and anger, and you will repent and pay for your cruelties. I will have my revenge, and you will fall by my blade Ichigo Kurosaki... you have my word.
Hey guys I hope you enjoyed. This chapter is only a character introduction chapter giving some background information. Even if it is only a character introduction I hope it was interesting. Also next chapter will be another character introduction and the 3rd chapter will be the start of the actual story. Anyway review and tell me what you think my sweets. Also I bet you weren't expecting Ichigo to be the one who killed Hisana, especially since this is a romance between Rukia and Ichigo. Only I know the future of this story... you all just have to wait.
