Ok, this is a series of drabbles, mostly sad.
Original drafts posted under DreamscapeXDancer (My second account, which I cannot remember the password to get into or I would delete it) under the title Shaded.
The stories posted in under this title have been edited, added on to, and tweaked, just for the sake of it. Please enjoy, and maybe leave me a review if you feel so inclined.
I do not own Bleach, as much as I would like to have that privilege.
And just to make sure that this is a LEGITIMATE chapter, I shall leave you a little tidbit.

Reflecting Myself
The glint of a diamond, the sparkle of sunlight on new fallen snow. The shine of metal. All reflecting light, like eyes reflect firelight. Like the image in a mirror.
My own reflection is my worst nightmare. I am what I fear. I have become as my family wanted me, but I do not like myself. Freedom is what I crave. If I were free then I could stop pretending to be what everyone else sees. And like the diamond, like ice, I am hard and cold. Only my eyes are not like the diamond and the Ice. And inside I feel like a mirror, reflecting what they wanted. I am fragile yet solid, like the glass I'm looking into.
Suddenly my perfect mask cracks, and reflected in the mirror is my face, my real face, twisted into an angry snarl. My eyes are wide and dancing with rage. Anger burns through me so fast, like paper, and I reach out, shattering the glass in front of me. Picking up a shard, I feel the edge slicing into my skin. The section of my face reflected in that chunk of ruin was so drasticly different from the me that everyone else saw. Suddenly I realized why I had let other shape what I became. Deep inside of me there lurked a monster that, if I let it out, would destroy everything I held dear. And just as suddenly as it had come, the anger was gone.
I watched a droplet of blood run down the side of the mirror shard. Disgust filled me at what I had just done. I threw the shard back on the pile of its other pieces and turned toward the door. Closing the door behind me, I pushed my earlier thoughts from my mind and kept walking.

So, for those of you who couldn't tell, that was Byakuya. *giggles madly* I think I did ok, tell me what you think, if you feel like clicking a button and writing a few words. If not, well, I'll be sad, but I'll get over it.
