IT ENDS TONIGHT
The wind rustled the leaves of the park as she stared at the moon one last time, it was the day of her existence in her friends' lives to come to an end after all her only family was already gone and the man she loved never saw her more than a sister.
"Inoue," the hooded figure called to her.
"I understand," she replied but secretly in her heart,she wished she could tell all of them…. Tatsuki, Ishida, Chad, Rukia and most important of all Ichigo how she would miss them all even in her darkest hour. But then again it was a feeble excuse for cold feet. No, It ends tonight.
Three months ago as she sat in her lone cell in Hueco Mundo, she prayed and hoped for her friends' safety but she realized yet again how she had burdened everyone and all their hardship had come as a result of her incompetence. Even after the winter battle saw victory for the whole of Soul Society, she couldn't help but wish that she was of more use to her friends than to the enemy.
Aizen,Tousen and Gin had escaped death and prosecution by a whisker however they weren't out of the boiling pot yet. As she sat in her cell, she silently wished to do something offering her life and peace in soul society in exchange for her own life...it was then that the room was filled with an intensive chocking blackness and as she focused her eyes, they widened in horror as she saw the hooded shinigami before her.
She could tell straight away that he was no ordinary shinigami,he didn't carry a zanpaktou and he emitted a reiatsu of pure evil that sent shivers down her spine.
" Wh….who are you?" she asked.
"You offered your life, didn't you?" he answered in a mocking, dark voice that bore the resembling feeling of snakes sniveling down your throat.
"I wish only to save the people important for me….I don't want them to hurt anymore," she said as tears started to form.
" I will give you the peace you need in exchange for your body, soul and powers."
"My powers?"
" Do you accept?"
"Wait….why? what do you want with my powers?"
"Do you accept?" he repeated.
A pregnant silence seemed to fall over them as she fought back tears. What did they want with her powers? Who was he? How did he find her?
Growing impatient the hooded shinigami pulled out a zanpaktou and held it against her neck.
Frozen in panic over her impending death, she closed her eyes ready for the finishing blow.
" I do not have time for you to contemplate on the answer. " as the sword moved in fast upward motion to impale her.
