This is my first fan fiction so give me all the hate you can muster as I seriously need the help in the grammar department and I will see if I can come out of the corner to write some more chapters.
obviously you know what the story is vaguely about as you did click to read it but if you want a hint at what should be to come then here it is
The main character is called Kurayami... (literally just goggled what darkness was in Japanese)... he is going to be a bad ass who messes stuff up. I really wanted a darker protagonist in bleach that I couldn't get from ichigo (not that I don't like ichigo) . So don't be expecting Kurayami to be loveydovey with anyone he will get to the point and kill anyone who screws with him . warning there will be some shipping between Kurayami and Rukia ( not loveydovey shipping) and Rukia will be a good fighter in this fanfiction and not as useless as she is for most of the anime ( I said most please don't hate me). Anyway enough of that lets get on with the story.
P.S. this is only chapter one so yes they should get larger as this is just setting up the basics of the story... very basics
legend:
bold = "zanpakuto/powerful creature of death talking" (also pre story chat by me is in bold so you can skip that and just read the story if you like)
italics = "thoughts"
bold italics = "Zanpakuto's thoughts"
warnings:
language warning
violence and gore warning
I do not own bleach or any of the character or story that are in the manga or anime as that privileged goes to Tite Kubo and anyone else that worked with him.
Kurayami walked down the halls of division 8. The place was a mess after the invaders had come through a few days ago. Well 1 invader in particular for their division. Kurayami still didn't really believe a human could cause this much damage to the division before the captain took him down. Well it was none of Kurayami's concern all he was concerned about was rebuilding all the buildings that had been destroyed and not get yelled at by anyone with any rank.
"Do you really think a human could have done this I mean maybe he could have destroyed the buildings but apparently he even stopped Rukia's execution and took down her brother Byakuya" the whisper was close by and Kurayami ducked into a nearby room to try to avoid any attention from the unknown people
"I agree I reckon they just made it up to explain why half of the captains ditched" another voice replied. Kurayami recognised them as the 7th seat Sunako and 8th seat Zensuke of division 8 and decided to not make him known to them at this point in time.
"HA! Your probably right idiots think we are going to believe that they were beaten up by some puny human" the higher man scoffed as they walked past" the higher rank of the two called lauder than expected
"Shhh keep it down Sunako if any of the higher ups hear us, you know that we can get in a lot of trouble for talking like that", the lower ranked man was right talk like that often led to demotions especially if captain Shunsui found out they had been doubting the reports given by the captains. It was time for Kurayami to leave before he heard too much more
Thud
Kurayami had tripped on a chair in the room he was in while trying to get out of the room before his superiors noticed him
"Well well well if it isn't Mr 10 seat, having a little listen in on your superiors were you?" Kurayami backed away from the two smiling men now at the doorway of the room.
"Take that sword out and so will we would you like a beating with swords or without" Zensuke smile widened slightly "your choice" Kurayami pulled his hand off of his sword knowing it was the better. While he was much faster than the other two they had the advantage in both numbers and skill with the blade.
"Oh this is going to be fun" smirked Zensuke as he walked up to Kurayami ready for any attack Kurayami could throw.
The first attack came quickly as Zensuke flung his right hand strait to Kurayami's head only to be easily ducked under and countered with a punch to the gut that pushed the air out of Zensuke and would have allowed Kurayami to go on the offensive if he had been fighting only one
SMACK
Kurayami was on the floor before he even saw the fist coming
"I'm impressed Kurayami you actually got a decent hit in before you went down" Zensuke said as someone pulled Kurayami off the ground and held him up
SMACK
Kurayami felt the punch hit his gut and instantly began to gasp for air still trying to orientate himself from the previous hit to his temple
SMACK
Kurayami felt his nose break as the punch landed and soon after felt the blood running down his face. the person holding him let go and Kurayami fell to the ground hitting the back of his head and sending another pulse of pain through his head and making him see black spots in his already distorted vision
CRACK
The kick hit him in the ribs breaking at least 1 and causing the last jolt of pain to fill his vision with black and as he embraced the black vision he felt himself being pulled up and hear Zensuke whisper in his ear
"Would have been if you had of pulled out that sword, but you will. Find out how bad it can get if that conversation gets known by anyone else" the threat was clear to Kurayami even in his delirious state don't tell or die.
When Kurayami woke up he was in the same place which didn't surprise him all the lower ranks just left anyone in this area alone knowing it was something they shouldn't mess with and anyone of any rank never really came to this area of the division.
"You look like shit" the voice surprised Kurayami and he tried to sit up only to lose the little vision he had gained and extreme pain in his head and ribs.
"You really got ruffed up didn't you" Kurayami realised that it was a female voice that was talking.
"I like how you make it seem like you actually care" Kurayami struggled to get out due to his broken ribs
"Well I was the one that found you unconscious and beaten up on the way to see your captain I thought maybe I should care a bit" the women spoke clearly confused about Kurayami's reply.
"Well you shouldn't. "Kurayami said bluntly as he finally managed to get a look at the surprisingly short women that was beside him. She was wearing the normal Shinigami clothes and had shoulder length black hair but her expression confused him it seemed concerned but no surprise in finding him or with his blunt reaction.
"Well I have a meeting with your captain to get to ill find out what's going on from there" the women said as she began walking away
"NO!"
"So you do care if I stay and help you" the women said turning around smiling
"No but I do care if you tell the captain" the women looked at Kurayami for a while
"very well but I'm finding you and getting what happened out of you as soon as I have time off"
"Fine whatever can you let me sleep now my head is killing me", the women began to leave and turned back just before going through the door.
"What is your name?"
"And why would I tell you when I don't even want you to find me again", Kurayami laughed (which caused much pain)
"I don't think you get a choice in the matter of whether I find you or now even if you don't tell me" the women said as she left. Darkness filled Kurayami's vision again and just before he drifted back into sleep he realised who the woman was. How could he not she was the talk of the soul society since she was meant to be executed but saved by the humans. She was Rukia Kuchki.
Kurayami woke, or he thought that he did everything was black even with his eyes open. he tried to move but realised that he couldn't and began to panic
"Well look who finally shows up" the voice was deep and in the dark Kurayami could not pinpoint from where it was coming from. "I suppose you are wondering where you are" again the voice came from all around him
"Who are you" Kurayami's voice was higher than he wanted it to be showing that he was afraid and not in control
"Let's not get into who I am or you will be here too long try another question" the voice spoke in the same dark tone but seemed to be playing with him
"Ok ill play your game what do you want" Kurayami said less scared after recovering from the original shock of the situation
"That's better I knew you would ask the right question. So let me start by saying this I am here to make you stronger " Kurayami laughed he couldn't help himself the very idea seemed stupid
"You want to make me strong yea sure whatever man now can I get back to realism time soon please"
"You doubt I can make you powerful"
"First off its me so yes I doubt. second I don't even have a Shikai so that isn't close to becoming powerful yet and third I'm not good with sword play it's just not what I'm best at" while Kurayami said this he failed to supress all his hope that there was in fact a way to allow him to be strong.
"You still haven't realised who I am have you. Have a hint this is your mindscape "if there was any light it would have looked like a fools as he lay there shocked at the new revelation.
"But...but only zanpakto's can come into a person's mind scape and talk to them" the shock was evident In Kurayami's voice but the voice claiming to be his zanpakuto just laughed
"And he finally gets it welcome to your mindscape and I would like to introduce me your zanpakuto" the voice was still coming from all around Kurayami but it took on a lighter tone almost like a game show host
"If this is my mindscape why is it so dark in here and why did you call yourself my zanpakuto instead of using your name so I can call upon your power" Kurayami asked still slightly sceptical of the voice.
"I can answer bot of those with the same answer. You must defeat me in order to gain my power be prepared and train for the next time you visit your mindscape I will not let you talk so casually " Kurayami could feel the strength behind the words and all chance of this being a bad joke left his mind
"Then why do you not just attack me now to save you the trouble of having to fight when I am ready and it isn't so dark?" the voice laughed at Kurayami's statement
"I have to give you a chance don't I. Oh and it will be this dark until you gain my power so hope you learn to fight blind soon" Kurayami sensed the presence leaving and called out
"Wait give me a display of some kind so I know what level I must reach before returning to this place" Kurayami's voice didn't seem that scared but the idea of fighting blind scared him
"Trying to work out some of tricks so you can prepare, very well then I will try to make as much noise as I can to give you an idea of how quiet I will be next time you return" as the voice spoke this Kurayami heard footsteps walking closer to him and braced himself pulling out his sword and holding it in the ready position. Suddenly the footsteps vanished and no sound was heard. Kurayami strained his ears and heard a light footstep behind him. Just as he began to turn around to face his opponent a voice appeared from all around
"Too late" and with that he felt a blade pierce his neck and woke with a start in the room he was in when beaten up.
"Fuck"
