Chapter 1
My life has never been normal. Before my father died he told me that he was a soul reaper… that he was sent here to protect my mother because of her spiritual energy. But he fell in love with her. Because of this he wanted to stay with her and this would break the laws of the Seireitei.
A few years ago, I was walking down the street when I felt this strong pressure around me, it made my skin crawl and when I turned around I saw this monster with a weird mask. When I looked at him all I felt was like all the happiness around me vanished. He made this earsplitting cry that made me cover my ears and cringe in fear.
"What are you," I said in a whisper. I had the feeling that I have seen something like this before, when I was young.
The monster raised his claw about to attack me, but it never came. Confused, I looked up and saw him… what my father's stories called a Shinigami, a soul reaper. But then I saw the necklace that my father always wore, and I couldn't believe it. All of the stories that he told me about were true. They were true because the stories were about ... HIM.
'Papa, can you tell me a story?' I asked him as my five year old self.
'When someone passes from the world of the living they are sent to the spirit world, The Seireitei. It is a place that is similar to the place where we live now. You can fall in and out of love. You can also start a new life. But, there once was a boy, a young reckless one, always getting in trouble and never following the rules. But he was given a second chance, and he once again disobeyed the rules…' my father started to trail off.
'What rule did he break.'
'He fell in love with a living girl and hid so he could stay with her.'
'How is falling in love bad,' I asked confused.
'A soul can't fall in love with someone who is living.'
'Well that's stupid.'
'Yes it is, and the boy felt the same. He loved the woman so much that he asked her to marry him. And he promised that he would never leave or disappear. A few months later he became a father of a beautiful child, a little girl.'
'But, what happened to him. Did he get in trouble for disobeying that world's law?'
'Yes, but they never found him, thanks to a friend, whom he owes everything that he has now.'
…ME!
It all makes sense now.
He told me to never tell my mother because she didn't know about him being one. He met her when she was in college and he was pretending to work at a store, while looking for those hollow things. She never had to worry about anything, he wanted her to stay safe, so he gave up his life as a soul reaper in order to hide from the soul society, so that he could be together with her.
My mother would always tell me things about their relationship from before that got married and had me.
At first, from what my mother told me, he worked at the coffee house that many of the college students go to, including her. At first they just talked while he made the coffee and when she had free time from classes she would stay and read a book or something. If she was there during one of his breaks, he would just sit next to her and relax. One of the things that my mother loved about him was that if she was doing something else while he was on break, he would just sit quietly until she started a conversation, which she would always do. She told me that a girl who liked a guy would always try to prolong her time with him, and that's exactly what she does. A few weeks later of the coffee conversations, he finally asked her out and she couldn't be happier.
After I finally figured out the truth about everything about my dad, I always want to know more. I asked my mother but she said that he never liked to talk about his past, even to her, and she said she didn't mind, everyone has secrets. She always told me it was because he had done some bad things in the past that he never wanted to live that way again. She said that she never got to she anyone from his side of the family. So that meant that I never knew my paternal (father's) grandparents and neither would my soon-to-be little sister.
January 14
I couldn't believe it the day that my little sister is born, my mother named her Rukia. She looked just like me, but with our mother black hair instead of my father's brown. We had the same eyes and hair. I asked the doctor if I could go see them and he said sure…"room 127."
" Hi mom" I said quietly as I walked to the bed.
"Hisana, come here my child" my mother said weakly. She must have been tired after giving birth.
" Mom … are you ok"
"I'm just tired that's all." she smiled at me "Do you want to hold your new little sister?"
"Yes," I said excitedly. My mother handed her to me, and she was so small. And now I knew we were going to be happy, no matter what. But, little did I know that our lives would drastically change because of the birth of the little baby, with a beating heart.
January 19
My mother was finally let out of the hospital, so we could finally be a family. Dad left before us so that he could get any last minute things ready at our house. But this day changed everything for us.
We were in a taxi on the way home, when a truck was speeding down the street, and I froze. The only thing that I could do was stare at the trucks white lights while my mom screamed, covering us, and Rukia crying.
The next thing that I could remember was seeing a bright white light and people saying …
'Their so young.' One voice said.
'The poor children, the baby's only a few days old.'
'The police are charging him with reckless endangerment, DWI (driving while intoxicated) and 3 counts of murder.'
'GOOD, he deserves to go to jail for as long as possible.'
So what happens now…do I go to heaven, or to the soul society.
What's is going to happen to my mother and my little sister…Rukia.
Will we see each other again … or will we be separated forever.
