Author's Note: Well, I finally did it. I finally got my butt in gear and got the first part of this written! Yay me! Sorry it's so short, but I wanted a little bit of a Prologue type thing, even though the stuff that happens here, will probably be halfway through the series. Or at least this is after the first part of main action and fighting.
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach, I only own the plotline for this story.
I sighed. Toshiro just didn't understand. I did come to save him; that was what my primary objective was. That's why I went up against Kenpachi Zaraki and other Soul Reapers. I was determined to save his life, even if it meant the cost of my own. I guess he didn't realise it. I love him, I have ever since I first met him. Although he tells me that it's alright, it wasn't my fault; I can't help but feel guilty. He was sentenced to death because of me… And now he's gone off on his own… I think he's angry at me, I don't know why… Probably because he thinks I was reckless coming here to save him and he didn't want me to die… That must be the reason, right? I mean, why else would he be angry at me? Unless… Unless he does blame me for him being sentenced to death… I know he said he didn't blame me, but saying something and telling a lie can seem like the same thing at times… maybe he lied to me because he didn't want to hurt me… But I'm already hurt… I ache all over, I just want to sleep, want the pain to end… both the physical and emotional pain… I bet he wouldn't care if I died… But I don't want to die, at least, not yet. I'm only sixteen and I already have all these duties on my shoulders… It's exhausting… I hardly ever sleep all the way through the night anymore, either because of worry or some other emotional thing, or because I get called away to do something else. I hide how tired I am from everyone else, I don't like people worrying about me. It's not fair on them. I would rather rely on myself. I'm trying to stand up tall, but the weight of my burdens, and my pain, are pushing me down, telling me to rest, but I can't... The worry, the stress, the anger, the depression... all of it prevents me from sleeping properly at night. I lay there as I try to sleep, but all I can think about are the negative things, then I either get woken up, or I fall into an uneasy sleep, I usually wake up feeling worse than I did. Wait a minute, I bet you're all wondering how Toshiro and I met, and how all of this happened. Well, I'll tell you...
Author's Note: Well, let me know what you think, and I will try and update as fast as I can
