"Swallow Your Pride, it will blind you for the rest of your life"
Prologue
"Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi", exclaimed Kudo Kuchiki in the midst of a barren battle that now seems to be in the peak of its climax.
As the fiery blossoms of petals roam the battlefield, there stood a man with a clear intent to kill, a neutral stare as he readies an attack to his overwhelming opponent that merely seem to be a woman but was accused of killing the Kuchiki remnants, she was dangerous, but only Kudo was the only capable of stopping her. Meanwhile a distant shadow approaches hastily from afar.
"Father! Stop! No!" screams a child that rushes unto the perimeter of the battlefield.
"(*cough*) The fate of the Kuchiki Dynasty lies in my shoulder's. I will never-" Kudo says before being interrupted by the sudden thrust of a cold and frigid blade that now embedded him.
"Father!" shrieked the child heading unto the fallen warrior's side.
"Recca… I'm sorry… but…" -a sudden aura arouses Kudo- the opponent draws back to regroup a defensive stance.
"…BANKAIRA! Kaeshi Senbonzakura Kegeyoshi! (Reverse Thousand Cherry Blossom Display) ." proclaimed the revitalized warrior.
"Recca, take care of you mother for me… always… remember your principles…" Kudo requested Recca, his child, that seemed to be his last words.
The opponent doesn't seem to show fear and charges forth.
"Father!" Recca screamed…
A sudden flash incinerated…
As the battlefield clears up petals fell as though rain around the field, there laid Kudo between what seems to be cherry blossom trees. Recca rushes quickly to his father's side.
"Recca…" Kudo wispily said
"Yes Father?" questioned Recca.
"…" – a unnerving look shrouded Kudo's imperceptible face.
"Father?" wondered Recca.
A shadow arouses behind the scenes of their conversation…
"RUN!" instructed Kudo
"I'll run no more" Recca unsheathes his zanpakuto. "BANKAIRAGA; Zanzetsumei moerukusari hyoji (Deadly FlameChain Display)
The shadow was nothing of merely than a hawk that passed. The release incinerated everything in plain sight, the battlefield was made unto nothing but rubble and the two trees that resided the area was now merely ash.
"Son enough!" Kudo Demanded.
Tears start coming out of the eyes of Recca.
"Recca!" Kudo once again exclaimed
"Sorry dad…" apologized Recca
" *cough* *cough* Rec—ca—" only realizing his arms have been burnt to ash…
"WHAT THE -" Kudo surprised
Flames slowly burned its way through what's left of Kudo, more than third degree burns engulfing his body, like feeling a thousand knives just pierce right through your body.
"Son why!" Kudo questioned…
"Because…"
"You Killed…"
"my beloved Ayako…"
