Prologue

'H-How could this happen? This can't be... How could someone like him become like this? This is wrong! This is all my fault! I'm sorry! I'm sorry for making you turn into him! I'm so sorry!' Orihime Inoue cried her heart out as the tears fell down like two waterfalls. 'None of this should have happened?' She wrapped her arms around herself and shuddered. She looked up and forward to see the silhouette figure that haunted her in her dreams, after the whole war between the Soul Society and Aizen ended.

She never thought that she would seen that familiar and horrifying face again. She knew she shouldn't be scared, but no matter how brave she was, that face made her entire body shiver and shake in fear. Her knees would give in the moment she saw those dark eyes look at her. It just horrified her to no end.

She looked around and saw nothing but bright red and orange flames everywhere, surrounding her in a circle of fire. In the center stood only her and the figure. The atmosphere had no moisture whatsoever because of the heat coming from the flames. Even her tears would evaporate as soon as they touched the ground. This was nothing more than a nightmare she wanted to get out of. However...this was no nightmare nor a bad dream...this was reality.

If only this was a dream, she would instantly do anything in her power to awaken from it, but this was actually happening. Everyone and everything she cared about was caught in this tragedy that she wished never happened. She just wanted to pinch herself to wake herself up, but no...that was not going to happen. She was stuck and there was no way out of this.

She saw the buildings that were destroyed by the figure's destructive rage. The town that she grew up in was now completely engulfed in flames. Just the thought of how many people were killed just shattered her heart into multiple pieces. Karakura Town was no longer a city, but a battle field. There was no end to the flames. The once peaceful town of Karakura, her friends, the people who she cared about most in the world, was gone. She blamed herself for everything.

There was only name running through her head in her time of need. 'K-Kurosaki-kun...' She wanted him to be here with her. She wanted him to come to her rescue like he always did when she was in trouble. She knew he would always help her. All she had to do was scream his name and he would be by her side in an instant. However, this was not going to happen this time.

'It's all my fault...it's all my fault that Kurosaki-kun became like this...' She let out a loud cry. "I'm sorry...K-Kurosaki-kun...it's all my fault!" She sobbed and clutched her shoulders tightly. The tears were now endless. The flames that were in front of the figure were blown away by a sudden burst of wind and Orihime looked up to see that same face looking at her. 'I-I-I'm sorry...everyone...Kurosaki-kun...' Her heart suddenly felt like it was ripped out of her chest when the figure spoke to her.

"Ore ga...tasuke..."

Author Notes: Well here is my first ever Bleach fic and I hope you guys enjoyed this little prologue. Regarding the last line in the fic, to be honest, I am not that fluent in Japanese, granted I know words because of anime, but I think that is how you write it, but I'm not entirely sure. If you know how to pronounce it, please inform me it would be a great help. Well, I'm hoping you guys like it1 I am not sure when I'll update this story again, I guess it depends how well it is received by you readers. So, until next time!
