Here is my edited version of chapter one and I'll only be posting edits from now until I get ten reviews. I have tried to make them more understandable and easy to read. I'm not sure how I can make it better if no one points out what is wrong but thank you to those who have. Also, I only have some pictures of Kit up but not of Kat and i will get on that very soon.
A man and two girls are in what appears to be a lab. There are white walls, a white ceiling and white tiled floors. The effect is an eerie glow off everything in the room. The two girls look almost identical except for their hair colour. One with dark purple hair and the other with lavender hair. They look too small to be older than eight human years and their fear stricken ocean-blue eyes are glued to the ceiling. Both of them are strapped down while the man is pacing slowing through the room, picking up syringes, examining them, and placing them back down. The black leather straps leaving slight red marks over older bruises on their wrists and ankles. They don tattered kimonos, both red with blue and silver design. They looked deprived of food and sleep, their bodies no more than skin and bones, bruise like blackness around their eyes. The girl with darker purple hair is struggling to get out of her bindings while the girl with light purple hair is silently crying and shaking with fear. They have been strapped to these dissection tables before… many times before. The man did this often to assert his domination over the two.
"What shall we do today? Enhanced senses? Super growth? Maybe gene splicing? Hmm… no, none of those boring projects seem fit for my special girls…" the man muses aloud as he turns to face the helpless girls. He looks first to the struggling one, then switches his gaze to the bawling girl beside her. He saunters over to her, his eyes unreadable.
"Hey! You leave her alone! Don't touch her!" the dark haired one screams at him helplessly as she watches to see what he'll do. He only ever goes to the dark haired one for extensive projects or things that will hurt a lot. He saves the peaceful ones for the more fragile of the two so as not to leave any permanent marks on her fair skin. He likes her that way, not tainted by the struggles that normal spirits go through. Just how a noble should be, elegant and beautiful.
He sneers at her then turns back to the girl in front of him. "Maybe we can just have some 'fun', ne, Kitsune-chan?" he says seductively to the girl as he strokes her face tenderly. His hand then starts travelling down her body. It was always her, he would never touch the dark-haired one this way. Always her.
I wake with a start from my nightmare. 'No, that was a memory, not a nightmare.' I think grimly as I get up out of bed and get ready for the day. 'Today is the day… I'm not sure if I'm ready for this…' I walk out the door of my hotel room and head for the office. It is sort of ironic that I stayed in a hotel room, I'm not certain but I feel like I died in one. This one was nice. It was cleaner than most, very well kept. The bed was soft and easy to get comfy on and the walls were a soothing shade of green. I shake my head, 'No! I am ready!' I hand the secretary my room key as I leave. She had been extremely kind to me when I first arrived, she didn't care that I looked strange. I look around at all the houses and shops as I pass, thinking of how this day will be. 'They probably won't even remember me… maybe they don't even want me to return… I wonder how Kat is doing…' I ponder as I head towards the Seireitei. There are less and less buildings as I approach the protective wall of the place I have known as home for almost a century and a half. When I reach the wall however, I am shocked to see no gate-keeper. I walk over cautiously and touch the handle. 'Not one person in sight and there isn't a reiatsu on the handle that is fresh. Just what have I missed?' I swiftly open the gate high enough to fit my petite structure under and then lower the gate from the other side. Surveying my surroundings, I find out that everyone is hiding in their homes. 'Just what the hell happened?' I quickly head to the first division to announce my arrival to the head-captain.
Walking through the Seireitei, I notice that it hasn't changed. Well, except for all the damage that people are repairing… 'Wait! Why are there people repairing damages? Was there a fight? Oh, I knew I should've been faster!' I shunpo to the first division in a speed that would make the second division lackeys jealous. I head for the head-captain's office immediately. I knock on the screen door and hear a booming, "Come in!" Nervously, I open the large door and walk in to stand in front of his desk. His office hasn't changed much. It's still a dull white with brown trim on the bottom half of the walls. He doesn't look up from his work he just says, "This better be important, I'm very busy today."
I gulp, 'He sounds irritated… well, there isn't any way to back out now.' I take a deep, silent, breath and calmly reply, "It's good to see you too, Yama-jii." I wish I had a camera because the look on the old man's face when he looked up to see me was priceless. He rubbed his eyes and then pinched himself as if to check if I was a figment of his imagination. 'He looks unharmed… actually, he looks good for how ancient he is…'
After coming back to his senses, his eyes flare. "What are you doing back here?!" I cringe at how loud he is shouting, all amusement of his previous reaction is wiped clean off my face. "You were to be dismissed until you had regained your mentality! Are you here to tell me that you want to come back now of all times?! Answer carefully, Kitsune!"
'Ok, he's pissed.' My ears ring for what seems like forever as we stare at each other, finally I recover enough to speak. "Sir, I was far away and came back as fast as I could when I had a gut feeling. It seems that I'm too late though. I'm sorry sir, but yes, I would like to be reinstated in the gotei 13." I say, sounding way more confident then I felt.
He looks me over while pondering whether or not to accept me back when he seems like he notices something. His next question shocked me. "Are you able to use Bankai?" there is an unspoken question in his tone.
I stood there in front of the most powerful shinigami in the Seireitei with my jaw on the floor. 'How the… he… urgh!' Sighing, I look to the side with a huff. "Yeah." Was my honest reply. I can't help but notice the uncertainty that has been in his eyes since he saw me. I feel a bit hurt but it is to be expected. I'm so caught up in thinking about this that I almost don't hear his next sentence but when it registers in my brain, I can't help but freeze.
"I, Yamamoto-soutaichou, hereby reinstate you, Muguruma, Kitsune, back into the gotei 13. You will also be promoted to captain of the fifth!"
'…Wait, WHAT!'
