Chapter One
Waiting To Be Saved
~The Story So Far~
~~Fire of Kyubi~~
Fifteen year old Nick Negron wasn't the most ordinary kid. He could see spirits, and would help them when he could. One day, after helping a little boy's spirit find peace, he comes back home to his mother Tabitha Negron, who gave him a hard kick into a wall of their house. Later that night, after an argument with his mother, A woman came through the wall of his room, dressed in what looked like a black kimono. After being scared shitless, Tabitha comes in with Nick's twin sister Jasmine. Tabitha knew this girl, calling her Lora. Lora was the Lieutenant for Squad One of the American Soul Society, and she had come to the World of the Living to stop a Hollow, or corrupted soul, from killing a very strong Spiritual Pressure, which just happened to resonate from Nick.
After a few discussions, Nick and Jasmine begin training to become Soul Reapers, but they cannot finish their training without going to the American Soul Society to undergo the final three tests of Initiation. Before they leave, however, Nick gets an urgent call from his girlfriend, Katie Hansen, who begs him to come to her house to talk. Once there, Nick finds out that Katie is pregnant with his child, and offers Katie to stay with him for awhile. She agrees, but when they reach Nick's house, the Hollow attacks. Both Nick and Jasmine, as well as their mother and Lora defeated the Hollow, and Tabitha told Nick the story of how she was the former Captain of Squad One while the current Captain happened to be her ex boyfriend Raymond Barrett, who she had dated before coming to the World of the Living and falling in love with Nick and Jasmine's father Elias Negron.
Nick refused to go to the American Soul Society, pleading that Katie would need him. Tabitha, knowing that Nick wanted to finish his training, confided in Katie about the predicament. Katie agreed to and succeeded to talk Nick into going to the Soul Society. Once there, Nick and Jasmine see Elias who had died about ten years earlier while Tabitha was still pregnant with the twins' younger sister Megan. Nick, in an outburst at his father, storms away from his family and goes to the American Soul Society Training Grounds and defeats the Lieutenant of Squad Ten, Tai Szendy. Afterward, Nick and Jasmine go to finish their final Test of Initiation.
While undergoing the final test, the Spirit King Ichigo Kurosaki appears, telling Nick that he is supposed to be the next King of Soul Society (Spirit King) and that Ichigo is Tabitha's cousin. Then, the Seireitei is attacked by a strange Hollow, which proceeds to bite Nick. Then, before Jasmine defeats the enemy, it tells her that Nick now possesses an Inner Hollow, and in time Nick will turn into a Hollow, then destroying the entire Soul Society.
Meanwhile, back in the World of the Living, Katie has the feeling that Nick was in trouble, which was correct. But, since Tabitha didn't want to stress the pregnant teenager, she told Katie that Nick had just gotten a minor injury. Later on, Tabitha had to tell Katie about what happened when the guest overheard Tabitha talking to one of the American Soul Society's Visoreds, or Soul Reapers that have crossed into the Realms of the Hollows in order to gain Hollow powers.
Nick, in danger of turning on his family and friends, is rushed to the Visored base in order for him to be trained so that he could control his Inner Hollow. Nick defeated the Hollow, but was now harboring an burden that would soon affect the lives of those he loved. Meanwhile, while Nick trained on controlling his Inner Hollow, Elias received a visit from Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto of Squad ten from the Japanese Soul Society.
Rangiku takes a walk through the Rukon District in which Elias lives and finds herself walking into one of the only people that she never thought she would see again: Gin Ichimaru, the former Captain of the Japanese Soul Society's Squad Three. Upon seeing Toshiro running towards him, hate apparent in the short Captain's eyes, Gin tells Rangiku to meet her in the Spirit Forest outside the Rukongai in order for them to just talk, asking her to consider the fact that he never lied to her.
Upon talking about it with Toshiro, Rangiku goes to the Spirit Forest, where Gin tells her why he had left the Soul Society in the first place. He had been under the effect of Sosuke Aizen's Zanpaku-to, whose effect was Complete Hypnosis. After explaining this all to her, the two establish their feelings for each other and Gin asks Rangiku to stay with him, even though Rangiku was with the Lieutenant of Squad Six in the Japanese Soul Society, Renji Abarai. After talking about it with Ichigo, Rangiku decides to travel back to the World of the Living with Gin to live with him. It just so happens that the day they leave is also the day that and the rest of the Negron's, along with Raymond, travel back to the World of the Living to return home.
~~~Ice of Evathon'Dala~~~
Six months have passed since Nick and Jasmine, along with their father, have returned to the World of the Living. Katie is just about due to give birth to her and Nick's child, and Tabitha adopted one of the Soul Reapers that had helped watch over her and Katie. This Soul Reaper, Sakura, is the twin sister of Yachiru Kusajishi, and was now the foster sister of Nick, Jasmine and Megan, although she considers Katie as more of her mother. Meanwhile, in an abandoned warehouse on the other side of the city they live in, Meteor Heights, Go Koga, the so-called last remaining Bount hatched a plan for the domination of the American Soul Society with the help of his seven fellow American Bounts.
Sending two of them to go and capture the Quincy that stayed in the World of the Living to help his Quinigami (Quincy-Soul Reaper hybrid) sister Sayuri Ishida watch Nick and his family, Takumi Ishida. Nick, Gin, Rangiku, Tabitha, Sayuri, Sakura, Jasmine and Elias all were able to defeat one of the Bounts, sending the other one running back to the warehouse in shock. After the battle, Tabitha called up an old friend, Dominic Urahara, in order to get assistance with defeating the Bounts once and for all.
The next day, they visit the Urahara Brother's shop and Nick, Jasmine, Sayuri and Sakura undergo Bankai training. All four of them unlock their Bankai and went home. Afterwards, Katie gave birth to her and Nick's twin daughters, Isabella and Kairi Negron. Once Tabitha had brought Isabella and Kairi back home from the hospital, which she was the Head Doctor at, Katie asked Nick to ask his mother about the tests that Katie herself had requested to be taken. After explaining to Nick why she had the tests taken, Nick confronted his mother about it. Tabitha told him that Isabella and Kairi, being affected by the presence of Nick's Inner Hollow, had a rapidly growing level of Spiritual Pressure. But, then the bad news came. Katie, also affected by Nick's Inner Hollow, was developing her own Inner Hollow. The only way to save her, as Tabitha could tell, was to take her to the Visoreds and see what they could do to help Katie be in control when the Inner Hollow starts trying to take over Katie's soul.
The next day, the final battle between Nick and the Bounts occurs. Nick, in his rage, unleashes both his Visored powers and his Bankai in order to defeat Koga once and for all, finally ending the worldwide conflict of the Bounts. Now, Nick is desperate to save Katie's life, which now only has six months before it could be too late. But, will Katie's soul be saved? Or will Katie's now-developing Inner Hollow destroy her Soul, killing the Katie Nick loves and ultimately force Nick to kill his girlfriend and the mother of his daughter? Find out now on Bleach: Dawn of Amaterasu.
~~~~End Synopsis~~~~
Negron House, Six Months Later...
Nick lay in bed with his girlfriend Katie, lightly stroking her dark brown hair while she slept peacefully. It had been six months since the couple had heard the news that Katie was now developing an Inner Hollow, and it was Nick's fault due to his own Inner Hollow. He sighed and, getting up from the bed, made his way over to the small kitchen area that himself and his father had installed in the basement room. He reached into the medium-sized refrigerator and took out a bottle of Dr. Pepper Cherry.
There was a noise from the bed, and Nick looked to see Katie sitting up, stretching her arms above her head. "Nick? Is something wrong? It's only three in the morning."
Nick smiled at her and went back over to the bed. "No, nothings wrong, Kate. Go back to sleep. I'm going to check up on Isabella."
Katie smiled at Nick, knowing exactly what was bothering him. "Don't worry. We'll get word about it soon. I just know it. Please, Nick, go check Isabella and then come straight back to bed, alright?"
"I will, beautiful." Nick said, kissing Katie's forehead lightly.
As Nick walked over to Isabella's crib, he thought about what she had said. It's already been six months! He thought. We only have six months left! Why would Raymond, Lora and everyone else leave us like this? Katie's life is in danger, and I want her to be better sooner rather than later. I can't lose her. Not this soon after she had Isabella.
As Nick went back to the bed, he yawned as he put his arm around Katie's sleeping form. Even after six months, Katie was still waiting to be saved.
A/N: Here's the beginning of the next installment of my Bleach Series. If anyone's wondering about the story name, Amaterasu is the Japanese God of Light (Technically, the Sun) so the name makes sense. The next chapter won't be up for at least twelve hours, because I have important things to watch on TV soon, making me unable to write this story in long intervals, yet. Also, I have told this to a couple of people, but this story is going to be at least slightly darker than the other two, because it revolves more around Katie instead of Nick, and Nick is so worried about Katie that he'll technically do anything to help save her. There will be an enemy to face, so don't worry about that little aspect of the story. Also, sorry about the actual first chapter part being so short, but it was really just an introduction to the story still. Okay, bye for now.
Next Time: Nick and the rest of the family finally gets the approval from the American Soul Society that will allow them to get help for Katie. When they get to the Soul Society, some people show up to take them to the Visored Base, but Nick has something that, apparently, he needs to do, even though he didn't know about it. Until next time.
