Chapter 1: Lone soldier
Without opening his eyes he could hear the wind gently caressing the back of his neck, the sound of the trees dancing with the breeze, the fragile cherry petals falling down and touching the surface of the pond. The sun was awakening from the dark starry night, rising slowly higher leaving a glint of sunlight through the windows onto the wooden floor. He spent the time motionless, waiting he thought, but waiting for what? He grabbed the hilt of his katana and looked at it for a long moment; it seemed like it was just yesterday the soul in his Zanpakutō told him her name and how he protected his first love.
Senbonzakura he whispered softly.
-Flashback-
Hollow's were appearing everywhere in every corner of the forest. -This was 2 years later after his parents died-. He was an adolescent now. This was his first time that he had to encounter a real hollow, but he wasn't scared and we was sure that he wasn't going to run away like the rest of his comrades. He may not know the name of his soul slayer and his shikai, but his greatest strength for now was kidou spells and shunpo steps. When he was 8 years-old, his father thought him that he should never back down in a fight. "Listen and remember well son…there are two kinds of fight, we must always know the difference; fight to defend life and fights to defend pride."
As he awoke from his father words. A huge hollow appeared behind him, he quickly dogged it with shunpo steps and went behind the hollow and moved his hand in a manner, focusing all his spiritual energy while chanting the proper incantation;
"Kunrinsha yo! Chiniku no kamen, banshō, habataki, hito no na o kansu! Shinri to sessei, tsumi shirame yume no kabe ni wazuka ni tsume o tate yo!"
"Hadou no sanjuu-san Soukatsui!"
A big blue energy ball blasted from his hand hitting the back of the Hollow and it disappeared in to a thin dust. Caught off guard, a hollow shot a red ball that hit him straight on the shoulder and he landed on the ground. There was a hole in his left shoulder, blood was leaking everywhere. He tried to get up, but his body was too numb, he couldn't move. "No…."he told himself, "I am not going to die, not here and not now!" As he was struggling to get up, more blood was coming out of his wound.
Oh get up pathetic fool! You're a Kuchiki aren't you? What would your parents says if they saw you like this"! hissed the dark feminine voice behind him.
Surprised, he spun around to see the strange yet beautiful woman standing behind him. She was probably the most beauteous woman he had ever seen, porcelain skin with rosy cheeks, long graceful pink hair, with bewitching emerald green eyes, wearing a silky black and pink kimono, and that every step she took sakura flowers were growing out of her dress. The sight of her was breath taking.
"Who are you? came a nervous reply from Byakuya.
"I am a part of you, as much as you are a part of me" answered the beautiful woman with a soft tone in her voice.
"You are the soul of my zanpakto aren't you, what is your name?" questioned the young Byakuya.
"My name? You actually think that I shall give you my name so easily? Ha! Don't make me laugh, you know i am a very fair, regal and most of all patient person; you aren't yet fit for me to lend you my abilities dear"
Offended that she said that he wasn't "fit enough" he asked "What do you mean I am not fit enough!? Since child I have been training very hard and I am the youngest student in advanced class-"
The pink haired woman waved her hand in a dismissively way.
Fine, I admit it then, you do have natural talent and courage kid, but the power you possess now; this is nothing. You could have so much more than this…….
"What must I do in order for you to give me your name?"
"You must prove to me that you are worthy, you may have strength and knowledge Byakuya, but do you have spirit?" she asked leaning on a tree.
At the same time, the same Hollow that hit him on the shoulder came flying straight towards him letting out a cry of anger. Again he killed the hollow the same way as he attacked the other one with shunpo and kidou spells.
"My, my you can't always possibly rely on your kidou spells now do you?Sigh aaahh I feel like I am being ignored."
He's brows furrowed in confusion "If I prove myself worthy then, will you tell me your name?"
"Maybe, well shall see…But for now I must leave you Byakuya but most importantly don't forget what I told you before. I want you to become one of the most notorious shinigami ever in the Gotei 13 and that everyone shall remember our names! Ignore what the councilors in the Kuchiki clan says. Goodbye dear we shall meet again very soon perhaps."
Before he could say a protest, she disappeared from view leaving sakura petals on the wet grass, and he found himself facing the trees in the forest. He glanced behind him to check if there wear any hollow's that were going to attack. All of them were destroyed. He took a deep breath, while walking under a huge old oak tree, burying his face in his hands. The voice of that woman was echoing in his mind over and over.
-Worthy
-Spirit
-notorious shinigami
-Have so much more…..
This sent chills running down his spin thinking about her words, Byakuya knew that in order to know her name that he must follow her wishes. This is also want his parents would want him to do.
Ten years later, Kuchiki Byakuya was promoted in the 5th division. He was sitting at his desk doing paper work -family finances-. While working he felt a light breeze in the room coming from the window and the scent of flowers wandered in the air. Byakuya looked outside the window to see the first cherry blossom bloom from the tree.
"It's the first day of spring" he told himself.
"Byakuya- sama!" screamed one of his comrades in the 5th division his name was Akira Wanajima he was in 7th seat.
"What's wrong?" asked Byakuya.
"A Menos Grande was spotted in the real world this morning; the captain wants you and me to go defeat It." said Akira
"Fine" said Byakuya.
Byakuya rose from his chair, for the first time he was going to attend his first Menos Grande mission. But just before leaving he grabbed his sword and stared at it intensively like if waiting for a soul to come out. Nothing came unfortunately.
The rain was pouring hard on the ground, making the solid forest into a swamp; he and Akira had arrived from the real world. Where they saw the Menos Grande, they both had overconfidence grins on their face.
"This is our chance Kuchiki-san, which one of us that kills the Menos first will become vice-captain or even better a captain of the Gotei 13. And it's for sure that it's going to be me!" said Akira.
But before Byakuya could reply anything, Akira had run straight ahead, using a Destructive spell as he approached the Menos. A huge red explosion was hit on the creature, leaving the Menos unaffected. The Menos looked down stupidly seeking for the person who was responsible for the intrusion. And it saw Akira.
The creature grabbed Akira, crushing all his bones in his body and slowly eating its prey ripping him into pieces with its teeth.
The Menos turned and saw Byakuya, its eyes staring at him with hunger. Now alone on the battlefield, Byakuya shunpo himself behind the Menos. In able to make a surprise attack, he began to cast every Kidou spell he knew at the beast.
Still using Demon spells I see…
Her voice was annoyingly light for, compared to the situation.
"If you intent to help, then you are most welcome, but if you do not intend to help, then I would suggest you to please be quiet."
If you say so…..
Byakuya let out an annoyed sigh.
You know for a long time you haven't needed of my assistance, I know because I have been watching you for a very long time Byakuya. You are one of the youngest rank seat officer there is, and you were able to wield a sword before you entered the Shinigami school. You are more powerful than most Shinigami will ever be with their sword. And yet you have the absence of a shikai. So why aren't you able to defeat this monster now?
"But-"
You are born as a Kuchiki weren't you?
"Yea-"
Now start acting like one!
The Menos Grande was walking towards him and using his energy creating a red ball called Cero.
I want you to annihilate him!
He grabbed his sword gripping the handle tightly in his hands, hearing her words echoing in his mind, urging him to go. The winds were pushing him violently, but he did his best to ignore it. Arriving at its feet, he was suddenly knocked away by the powerful force and was sent crashing down the trees and smack against a huge pin tree. Blood was trickling down his face.
Get up fool!
His whole body was covered in mud and blood – the color of crimson mixed with brown-.
God…Must I do everything myself!
Suddenly his body rose from the ground like if an invisible force lift him up.
The sword in his hand was shaking violently, as his muscles were trying to regain control.
Let go of the blade.
But how-
The time has come to set me free.
He nodded; looking into his blade he sees her emerald green eyes as she looks into his. A smug grin was placed upon his face.
Call me out with "Chire" and I shall scatter into the winds and cut all you enemies.
Listen boy and listen well….
My name is Senbonzakura.
He had held her close to his face, whispering to her like the caress of the wind.
"Chire Senbonzakura"
Yes!
In a vibrant pink flash, the blade disappeared.
A lone soldier awakens the soul in his blade, long awaiting for freedom.
A/N: So how was it good or bad? I'm currently updating chapter 2 right now. I'm not that great when it comes to writing "fight" scenes, I did try my best with this one. It was pretty odd using Japanese words in a English story….Oh yeah here's the translation for the incantation: "O Lord, mask of flesh and bone, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of man, truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall of dreams unleash but slightly the wrath of your claws!" for the second one: Way of Destruction Number 33: Blue Fire, Crash Down.
