Through the dark, he could hear her voice.
It was a twisted, painful thing.
At the moment the cherry blossoms scattered and she felt his spirit pressure dip into nothingness, she turned her back on her enemy. Even knowing they would strike in her blind spot.
Byakuya felt the most excruciating pain as a wave of cherry blossoms blasted him in a full frontal assault.
They took him by storm, peeling the flesh from his body...No mercy. The surge pounded into him again and again, and he heard his bones crack as they knocked him through wall after wall. He hit the ground once and bounced off, swept up in the air like a ragdoll by his beautiful Senbonzakura.
It had always been just him and Senbonzakura against the world. Nothing had come between them until Hisana. But still he loved his zanpaku-to, as any Soul Reaper could.
Even though it was the epitome of silence and kept no better company than most his trinkets, it was one of the rare consistencies in his life.
On the battlefield, the hilt of his blade was always the first thing he touched.
What a betrayal, to have it turned against him like this.
If Senbonzakura could have screamed its agony, it would have. But it stayed silent to its master.
It was now just a puppet in the hands of the cruel monster that pulled its strings.
As blood filled his lungs and Byakuya's vision blackened, he thought of her once more.
He was stuck in this godforsaken wall, dying, but in the end all he could think of was his glaring failure to protect the ones he loved.
What a pathetic way for a Kuchiki to go, not old and withered from natural causes, but at the hands of a Quincy. All the Kuchiki heads before him were probably rolling over in their graves or poll-vaulting out of them just to see this—the wretched end of the Kuchiki Clan.
Byakuya could just it now. "Head Kuchiki dies younger than his father, disgraces Kuchiki name."
Genrei would have him by the balls for that.
Byakuya felt an icy chill travel down his spine and tried harder not to die.
