Bleach - Chaotic Rest
Chapter One - Hunger
Hundreds of years before the Aizen incident, there were many unkown events that took place. This a recollition of that time.
In the Soul Society, on the outskirts of the Rukon district, sits a young blonde male with raggedy brown clothes and a dirty face against a building. However, his blue eyes seemed to shine through that dirty look. His feet and body were no different from his face in that they were dirty as well. Though he looked dirty, his positive disposition seemed to make the filth almost disappear. Layed next to him was a wooden sword in which he carved himself.
He arose, picking up the weapon, and walked to the north where the rest of the town was. The people he passed were as dirty as he was so it wasn't as if he was the only one. Though, being covered in filth did still disturb him. As he walked through the town, he noticed the people scuraging around for water. He too felt thirsty. However, water was scarce this far back in the Rukon district of Soul Society, and what little water the town did have, was expensive.
"Get back here with my water you stinkin' punks!" shouted a man as he chased three dirty children trying to run away with a jug full of water. The blonde let the kids pass and slammed his wooden sword's hilt into the man's stomach.
"Leave 'em alone," he said. He then followed up by giving the man a round house kick and running off in the direction of the kids.
"I'll get you kids!" the man yelled as he shook his fist at them. The children ran back to a run down house and put down the jug of water.
"Thanks for your help back the Momo," said one child. This child, a male, had white, spiky hair with green eyes. He was usually the type who just loved hanging around his friends.
"I told you to call me Myko. You know I don't like being called Momo all the time," stated the blonde. The other two children laughed.
"That's just like Nakura to forget such a thing," stated another male child. This one had black hair and brown eyes. He was the only one with a darl complexion. He was the kind who never liked to get in a fight with anyone. He just enjoyed a good little prank every now and again.
"Oh come on Leo, don't tell me you think Momo is a bad name. I like it," said Nakura. Myko just sighed and shook his head while his friend Nakura put an arm around him, smiling innocently towards Leo and the female child who had yet spoken.
"I think it's an adorable name. You should be proud of it Myko," said the female. After having finally spoken, she too was smiling. She had long black hair and blue eyes. She was always kind to Myko, spoke with Nakura, and bailed Leo out when he pulled a prank. The four of them were an inseperable team.
"Hey, you guys wanna go out to the riverbank a few towns up and spend the night there?" Nakura asked excitedly. He always loved going out and sleeping anywhere outside of that town. It was the worst thing in the world for him if he had to stay there.
"Naw. We been there already, " Leo pointed out.
"So what do you suggest then?" the female asked. "Going out and tricking people to give us free water again?"
"Oh shut up Kiraku. You're just mad 'cuz you can't think of a good prank to pull, " Leo mocked.
"No. She just has better things to do than fool people into doing stupid stuff. Besides, I think we should travel up to one of the border towns near the Seiratai. That way, water will be super abudundant," Myko planned. The children all lit up at the idea and nodded simultaneously. "Good," he continued, "then we set out after a quick drink."
The group each stuck their hands in the jug and cupped up some water and took a quick drink. Water was all an average soul needed to survive if they didn't have any spiritual pressure.
After the quick drink, each of them grabbed a bottle and filled it up. They would need it on the long walk up towards the border town. As each of them headed out of the building, one after the other, Myko was the last to leave the building. He stopped at the entrance way and felt a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach. A rumbling in which he never felt before.
"You ok over there Momo?" Nakura asked.
"Yea, I'm fine, " he lied. He went outside and started walking with them towards the north.
************
After a day of walking, the group had went through a couple of towns. It didn't bother anyone to see the four of them to be on there own since children ran around by themselves all the time.
"So, how much farther do you think we are from the closest border town?" Leo asked.
"Well, since we only walked for a day, I'd say we have a lot more walking to do, " Kiraku replied in a voice that seemed as if it was obvious.
Myko and Naraku laughed at their friend and decided it best to sit down a take a drinking break.
Myko felt the strange feeling in stomach again. The rumbling was harder this time, however. This time, it was loud enough for the other kids to hear.
"What was that?" asked Nakura.
"N-Nothing. It was nothing. Let's just drink up, " Myko replied hastily, his face turning slightly red. He heard the low growling again, however this time, it was Leo.
"Leo...did your stomach just growl?" asked Kiraku. After she had, the sound was heard yet another time, yet in unison from Naraku and Kiraku.
Myko's eyes went big as he realized what this sensation was. It was hunger. Hunger was a sign of having spiritual pressure though. He couldn't have any. Not at his age anyway. He decided to drink and see if it would dissapear. Instead, the drink made his hunger grow. His eyes started to get heavy and he couldn't keep them up.
"Myko? Myko are you ok?" Nakura asked worriedly. After hearing thequestion, Myko tried to answer "no", yet the words wouldn't come out and everything went black as he passed out on the ground.
"Myko! Myko! Wake up!" Kiraku shouted. "This isn't funny!"
As the children tried to wake Myko, a spiky, white haired man in a captains uniform, white jacket showing the sqaud number he's in and a black kimono underneath, showed up and looked at Myko.
"Give him this," he said, handing Leo a rice ball. Leo nodded and opened Myko's mouth placing a peice of the rice ball. Myko's body instictivly swallowed it and he awoke slowly.
"He should be fine after awhile. However, I'm going to have to ask he come with me."
"Why? We don't have to let you take him away from us," Nakura said firmly.
"Yea. You're not taking our friend away," Leo agreed.
"We need to take him to the Seiretai. He has spiritual pressure now. It'd be dangerous to leave him here," the captain said.
"Well, we don't have to listen to a kid like you ya-" Leo tried to say but was interrupted with Myko getting up slightly.
"N-Not w-without th-them. I w-won't go without th-them," he said. The captain smiled and nodded.
"Alright, take these kids to the Seiretai. It's time they become Shinigami."
