Hey everybody I'm super excited to be writing my first fic and I hope you enjoy!
I do not own Bleach it belongs to the Talented Tite Kubo.
Chapter 1: The Breaking
Ichigo flew across the Sereitei searching…searching for that beautifully proud presence that he knew could only belong to Rukia's older Brother.. Hot flashes of panic beginning to surge through him as the images of the nobles beaten and bloodied form began to flash across his mind. 'No! No! Dammit don't you die on Byakuya I'm coming! I'm coming to save you! I promised.'
Ichigo skidded to a stop amongst the overturned buildings of Society and honed in on the flickering pressure of his friend's brother, if the circumstances were different he would of jumped for joy when he managed to pinpoint the fading spiritual pressure. However the circumstances weren't different this was war and Byakuya Kuchiki was dying. He gritted his teeth and crouched down low to the floor before exploding off again towards his destination.
Ichigo tried desperately to rein in his inner storm as her laid his eyes on his friend's shredded form. Byakuya's front was a cut up mess of blood and hanging skin that appeared to be somewhat plastered to the broken layers of wall, his left hand had been severed at the forearm and dangled brokenly. It was the big hazed, dying gray eyes that kept falling and lifting as they attempted to look Ichigo in the face that really hit him though. Bringing a burning sensation to his eyes and the back of his throught that he forced back.
"Are…Rukia… and Renji ….alive?" Byakuya asked in a shaky tone. Ichigo gulped slightly before nodding his head reassuringly,"Yeah. They're fine. They're alive."
Relief came into Byakuya's unfocused eyes, "I…See..good….I will not last much longer. Despite being a captain of one of the Gotei 13. I could not defeat the foul enemy that invaded seireitei, and I let many valuable soliders die.. causing suffering in their families and subordinates hearts. And in the end I was defeated miserably " He released a shaky breath and a single tear escaped one of those pretty gray eyes sliding down his pale, bloody cheek. " I am ashamed of all this. On the other hand you are a human. Normally, Not only you shouldn't be involved in all this you shouldn't even be here now. Yet I'm going to ask you for a favor. Please forgive my decicable behavior. Please. Protect Soul Society Kurosaki Ichigo!"
After these words were spoken not even Ichigo could say what happened next all that was certain was he was never going to going to forgive those bastards who did this. Who trampled over his friends who trampled over Soul Society who trampled over Byakuya, Renji, and Rukia like they were beneath them. 'No, They would never ever be forgiven.' This thought seemed to fuel the Substitute as he prepared for combat with the asshole who began everything, Juha Bach.
