A/N: Okay so this story just popped into my head and i dont even have it planned out or anything. Then again i've never truly planned out any story that i have written. Most of the time i come up with an idea and then let the story write itself...probably why i've never finished one... any way in all actuality the first story i ever planned even a little bit of before typing it up was Demons Lay Dormant and i've sorta hit a slight road block there at the moment...this is the second story that actually has a bit of planning thrown into it. Coming to the point, this idea wouldnt stop bugging me and i have a pretty definate idea as to how im going to end this story, the problem is that i have no idea as to how im going to make this prologue transition through the other chapter to reach the end i have in mind...if people have ideas that they'd like to share feel free. i am completely up for suggestions. this is my first bleach fanfiction so please dont flame me if the characters seem OOC...im going to try to make them as in character as i can but im not perfect...im pretty sure thats all i have to say at the moment so... onto the prologue of my new story Restoring Hope. Oh and i'm sorry its so short...but then again prologues are meant to be short are they not? ^^ lol

Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing except my own character Akari that may or may not be making an appearance in this story...i havent decided yet. and of course the plot...i own the plot...or lack thereof ...


Restoring Hope

Prologue

I knew things were bad. They told me when I left that things were bad, real bad. Looking back now, I realize how naïve I was being. At that time I was fresh out of training camp; thinking that they were exaggerating the situation; never

believing that things could be as bad as they said. HA! If only the situation had stayed that bad and not gotten worse, none of this would be happening right now. If I had just gone with my father's request and stayed in my own city I wouldn't be

laying here right now, in a puddle of my own blood, trying to figure out where it all went wrong. If I had just listened to my father I wouldn't be laying here on the cold floor of an old abandoned warehouse, severely wounded and unable to move. If I

had listened to my father, I wouldn't be laying here, helpless and expecting to die, but I can't really say that I regret it. Because If I HAD listened to my father, I never would have fallen in love. I smiled as I started to slip away, thinking of the one man

who believed that I could save this city from the evil tyrant who ruled here. I shook my head slightly as I felt my eyes start to water, only one tear escaping to run down my cheek. As I lost consciousness, one thought crossed my mind, I had failed

him.


IMPORTANT!
(or at least id like to think so)

i know its short but like i said prologues are meant to be short...also this is kind of just a starter...i want to see what people think of it...i'll update regardless if people like it or not and i warn you all now i update at my own speed which while it varies its normally very very slow...not to mention my updates depend on my muse, and one thing i know about my muse is that it likes to travel...leaving for weeks or months on end only to show up for like a day or two only to disappear again for another undeterminable amount of time...also im a junior in high school so not only do i have a life but its my hardest year so i have a lot of hard homework and a lot of time consuming homework and i absolutely love reading much more so than writing so that is also a factor in how fast i update...also as far as i remember...this is my first time ever doing first person pov...im actually a little excited about it because while i was writing this i realized that first person pov gave me, as the writer, a new view and insight to the story...and you might think that that little paragraph up there couldn't possible give me insight and shit...but believe it or not that little paragraph took me and hour and a half to write...i just couldnt get satisfied with the wording...and i couldnt decide if i wanted to put the next scene in here or not, finally deciding on leaving the next scene as the opener for chapter 1...i hope you like it and while i feel like im forgetting something im going to shut up and go read more fanfiction...i accept creative criticism but if you send me a review that is along the lines of "this story sux and i hate it and you suck as a writer and have no talent,etc." without any creative criticism at all i will simply smile and laugh as i bask in your jealousy becasue i know for a fact that i am a good author, not perfect and probably not even great but i am good...=] well until next chapter

Ja ne~
Au revoir
see you later
