Hmm... I'm not sure if this is AU or not. I'm back again xD and this one was a result of my over-active imagination :) Please read and review! I hope you guys like it! And if you don't, PLEASE TELL ME.

The sky reminds me of bean soup.

Murky brown, churning and bubbling with black crumbs strewn across the over-cooked clouds.

I am sometimes known as the King.

But more importantly, I am the one who watches over you. I am the one who observes the patterns in life, in which years are simply as short as days for me. I am the one who will wait for you when you are ready to let go of life. I am the one who watches the souls go by, into soul society and back to the living world where the cycle will repeat itself until the end of time. I am the one who directs my gods of death, and I am the one who has been here since the start of time, until the end of time.

I see so many things. I see the past, the present, and the future. I see the patterns in which history repeats itself. I see the cycle of souls, and the ones who burn brighter than the rest, and choose them for my death gods. You were someone else in a past life- and you will be someone else in a future life. You will never remember any of your past life's memories, thoughts, feelings. This is the absolute rule.

There have only been two people who have broken that rule.

And this is where the story starts. I am the Spirit King. I have seen countless souls, but two, and only two… broke the rule. I am not absolute. I am not all-powerful, omniscient. Perhaps I am very close, but two things-two has always been my least favourite number- have always evaded my understanding.

Fate. And, of course

Love.

Fate brought those two together again, and love brought them to remember. Once in a millennium you will see something like this. The stars and planets align, something clicks—they meet again. I watched her soul go through the cycle so many times, and watched his refusal to let go of her. I watched them meet, meet again, remember again. There are only two things that withstand the sands of time, and perhaps I will never understand. I have to say, humans will always surprise me, and the connection between those two burned brighter than all the rest.

His name was Byakuya.

Her name was Hisana.
