When a human
soul departs from it's body, a Soul Reaper is responsible for that
souls safe passage unto the Soul Society, a place of everlasting
salvation for departed souls to live for the rest of eternity, but
have you ever wondered where souls go when they commit heinous acts
while living? They certainly don't go to a place where they can
freely interact with the peace loving souls in the Soul Society. They
to a place where infinite punishment has a new meaning. This place is
the Oni Soul Society.
The Oni Soul Society isn't very different
from the original. In place of a Seireitei, there is a large
informatory, where damned souls are imprisoned. The sky shines an
eerie blood red sun that stains the sky with a sinister crimson
stain. The soil on the ground, rich with iron, has turned the ground
into a rust color. Only few live in this unearthly place, the Oni
Soul Society's thirteen court guard squadrons, The five noble
families, the central forty-six and all their families. Each and
every day, there are several Hollow attacks on the walls that border
the Oni Soul Society. They are believed to come from the never ending
horizon outside. What drives them to attack is the immense Spiritual
pressure emitted from the inside of the wall. No Hollow attack as
ever been successful.
I am Henteko Misuto, Captain of squad three.
It is because of me and the sacrifice of my men, that no hollow has
entered the Oni Soul Society, that is the job of squad three, but let
me tell this story in order. It all begin when my father made me
enroll in the Soul Reaper Academy. I knew from the start, things were
going to be awful. All I wanted to do was stay home and sleep, but
Dad wouldn't have it. I pretty much guessed that my peers would
make fun of me for being incredibly short, or having long, dark
purple hair and the bags under my eyes, which I'm beginning to
think I was born with. All my predictions were correct. To make what
was bad even worse was that I was instantly thrown into an advanced
class just because of my old man's reputation. This is how things
all began.
As my father left me at the stoop of the towering
academy, he said something to me that I will always remember.
"Listen
Henteko, just remember you are not me." He said. At first I thought
he was trying to make me feel small and weak to him, but now that I'm
older, I believe what he was trying to say was, I didn't need to
live up to him. My father was a lot taller than I am. His hair was
purple too, but a lot darker and straighter then mine. He always had
this serious look on his face. As he departed, I ascended the small
amount of stairs leading to the academy doors. I tried to open them
but they were locked. I thought to myself, why does Dad always have
to do things early? Suddenly a figure appeared behind me.
"You
are exactly one minute and twenty seven seconds late." He said,
sliding his glasses on to his face. He was a dangly fellow, a lot
taller then me too. He had what I would soon to name, a mullet. His
hair was a coffee color. He always had this Know-it-all look on his
face. "You should know that the teachers open the school doors at
exactly eight-o-clock am, by then this place will be flooding with
half wits who think they can be Soul Reapers." He smirked. "But
of course you didn't know that." I started to wonder why this guy
was even talking to me. "Allow me to introduce myself." He
continued to monologue. "I am Ichiban Genkaku, soon to be top
student in the Soul Reaper Academy." I figured it would be rude not
to introduce myself ether, But it was a mistake I would soon not
forget. "I am Henteko Misuto." I stuttered. Ichiban glared at me.
"So you think that just because you're Katai's son, you're
better than me?" He muttered "I never said that." I groaned.
"Understand that I'll will always be better then any body born
into fame like you, Henteko Misuto!" Ichiban yelled. Then from the
roof, came another yell.
"Leave him alone Ichiban." There was
a person lounging on the overhang above the academy stoop. He had red
bangs and green hair. He smiled down at us with this cocky look.
Ichiban swung his head quickly in the young man's direction.
"Don't
bother me Gegai!" Shouted Ichiban. I could tell this was going to
be a long year.
