Kyogi no Sonzai
the Soulless Sword
A Bleach Fanfiction
Chapter One
Violet Risen looked out her window.
"There's that noise again...," It was like a roar. Something louder than the city traffic, louder than the vents under her bed.
Sighing, she smoothed her nightgown, letting the pink cotton flatten against her stomach and flow over her admitting oversized bust. Her room was bare, sparse of girl-y things. Her twin bed sat beneath the eastern window, while a dressed topped with a mirror sat beside the northern window. The floor was made of bamboo, and a naked light bulb light the room.
Violet jumped as a loud crash shook her building. Once more, there was that roar, louder now, so loud it deafened her ears.
Her wall that was nearest to the staircase exploded inwards, throwing shards of wood, drywall and metal towards the opposite wall. Cowering in her bed, Violet stared as a monster loomed through the hole.
Four giant arms reached through the wall, pulling a large, white, armored body forward. The head was stretched, a large, deformed, white mask. The jaw opened and it roared once more, staring at her.
The beast reared back, letting out another monstrous roar as it prepared to lunge at Violet as she cowered on her bed.
At that moment, time stopped, or at the very least moved so slow that every split-second lasted an age.
As the monster reared, there was a wind blowing through the open window. Violet saw a black butterfly float into the room through it, followed by a tall man with messy brown hair. The man held a sword loosely in his hand. He gave her a sideways glance through his rectangular glasses. Serenely, like something not of this world, he swung his sword, severing two of the beasts arms.
The creature fell backwards, retreating downstairs. The man followed at a leisurely pace. Stunned for a few moments, Violet hurried after them.
In the living room downstairs everything was destroyed. But blood's scent stung her nose. She could see the broken, cut up bodies of her friends. Violet sank to her knees, letting out a silent scream, tears streaking her face.
The man stood over the monster's corpse. His sword went through it's chest, nailing it to the floor. He watched in silence as it turned to dust.
"They... They are all..." Violet said hoarsely.
"Dead? Yes, they are. The monster, a Hollow, killed them. And I in turned killed it. But I can give you power to stop the monsters from ever hurting your friends again. Forever."
"Pl-please, give it to me?!" Violet hoped that power would make her strong enough to punish the monsters, these 'Hollows.' She was beyond fear. She now sought vengeance.
The man pointed his sword at her chest. "By running my Zanpakuto, my sword, through you, I can pour my power into your body. However, my spiritual power could kill you," Violet nodded. "Brace yourself."
"What... Who are you?"
"A Soul Reaper," the man pierced her chest with his sword. She could feel pour flow into her body. "My name is..." Suddenly, the power was too hot, then her body felt cold and limp. Violet watched in horror, looking up at the man as her vision went dark. The last thing she ever heard with her living ears was, "Sosuke Aizen."
