My eyes flutter open, as I continue to daze in and out of consciousness. The manacles around my wrists continue to drain out my power, just enough that I am unable to use them.
As I'm fully awaken now, my eyes go wide with shock, my heart beating uncontrollably now. There in front, was a lifeless, massacred body of the Head Captain of Soul Society. I try to move, to crawl towards the old man, to save him. But I know it is too late. There is nothing to save of him, and that is what makes the tears slide down my cheek.
"What are you crying about, young woman? It seems that you are not aware that this man before you, now dead, is the same man who killed both of your parents? So tell me, why do you cry those pitiful tears for him?" asks the black bearded man before you, as he uses the tip of his sword to lift up your chin. He, this man who claims to demolish Soul Society and all it's reapers, was the leader of the Stern Ritter. The man in charge of all the mass destruction that was happening around you. The man in charge for the Head Captain's death. Juha Bach.
It takes every ounce of strength inside of me to clear my dry, bruised throat and speak to the man who has been holding myself captive for over 10 years.
"U-Unlike you, I do not find another person's death as an equal, v-viable reason for revenge," I croak out embarrassingly, as my chest rises up and down, slowly and scarcely.
"Look around you, hybrid. All these people had a hand in killing your father and mother. They all had a hand in putting you in the place that you are now. They are all responsible for what is happening around them. It is not revenge, girl. It is them paying for their sins."
Suddenly, a vast shift in the atmosphere occurs. The spiritual pressure so strong and immense, that I feel that I am about to drift away any moment now. W-Who could this belong to?!
"It seems as though Ichigo Kurosaki is here. I'll-
"No. We are leaving now. Send out the order immediately."
With that, his pawn and right handed man disappears, while giving me a deep, charred look.
"W-Who-
"No one you have to worry about…yet," he says, as the bearded man makes his way towards my direction.
But he freezes before I do, before I can even feel the presence that is with us now. Although it pains me to do so, I crane my neck just enough to see bright, orange locks.
I watch intensively as his eyes scan over the rubble around him, and they land upon the remains of what would be the Head Captain. His eyes go wide with shock, and I see as his fists clench tightly around his hilt. A sudden shift in his spiritual pressure and it's as if I can feel all his pain, his sorrow, his anger. It's as if I am him.
But then suddenly, I see what is in his other palm. A small, wooden block of some sorts. But then I see that black skull, which has been hand carved into the wooden oak. T-That was a Shinigami representative badge?! F-Father had the same one. Does this mean that he too is what my father was?
"Y-You bastard!" yells out the orange haired man, as he grips his sword tightly and begins to make way for the older, more experienced man in front of me. I see the look on Juha's face, his sword pointed out and positioned, and can already tell this won't end in the Shinigami's favour. Not now.
I don't know what it is that is inside of me that gives me this new strength, this new ownership, but I feel that I must do all that is necessary to protect the orange haired Shinigami in front of me. I am not sure why, but I believe that it is due to the fact that he hold's my father's badge. And for that, it is more than enough of a reason for me to risk my life for his.
With this new adrenaline suddenly flowing through my body, I rise to my feet, ignoring the pain and wounds that have now opened up in several places of my body.
Juha is too focused on the excitement in front of him for him to notice what I am about to do.
As the young man makes his way closer to Juha, I already know what he is about to say before he speaks.
Flash stepping in between the two, I use all my force and ram my frail, thin body into his taller, leaner one. I feel a bone in my body shift uncomfortably, but I ignore it, focusing all my strength into him. Surprised and shocked, his body goes flying back, where it lands into the rubble of what is now Soul Society.
Suddenly, my body goes into a spasm and I drop to the floor. Juha behind me was using his power to control the manacles around my wrist. It was the ability I hated the most of his that he used to keep me in check. It sent bursts of electricity through my blood stream, shocking every nerve.
As I hear his footsteps coming to claim my body and return back to Hueco Mundo, I know that this is the last I will see of Soul Society for a long time to come. With the electric currents still pulsating within me, my eyes flutter close, welcoming in the darkness that has followed me throughout my life.
