«Prologue/Introduction»
Tokyo, Japan - 2021
'(Sigh), another day in this dark and harsh world…' A young man, in his mid-twenties, thought to himself rather darkly.
He was a slim, yet slightly muscular young man. He has black hair, and hetero-chromatic eyes; his left a blue color, his right a hazel. His assemble consisted of a regular t-shirt, jeans, a coat, and silk scarf. Usually, he is seen wearing glasses, but as it is currently a cold day, he decided to forego them, as they'd simply fog up in the process.
As he continued walking down a lone road and into a small alleyway, his thoughts continued to wander.
'I wonder when I'll be able to one day get away from all this. Having to simply live and suffer in a world that's cold and unforgiving. Wars, death, anguish...why must we all suffer and die in this world? If only…'
His thoughts were interrupted when a few gang members were seen walking up to him. They had approached him whilst he was pondering to himself so deeply.
"Oi! Kid, give us your money and anything else that's valuable." One with sunglasses and a toothpick sneered. "Otherwise…"
One of the gangsters with an eye patch cracked his knuckles to signify the message.
"Well, ya get the idea." The first chuckled darkly.
However, the boy simply paid their threats no mind and continued to think to himself. As he mumbled something, one of the gangsters seemed to think of it as an offensive comment.
"Hey! What'd you call me ya dumb shit?!" A bald, muscular one snapped.
The boy once again didn't reply and was about to pass when the man put his hand on the boy's shoulder, tightly.
"Hey! I'm talkin' to ya!" The guy growled again.
Finally, the boy looked up and to the gang's surprise, they stepped back at the sight of his cold, dead eyes.
"Get your hand off of me." He said, a chill going down each member's spine, except the bald one.
"Or what? Whaddya gonna do?" The muscled (and obviously dumb one) said.
"Hey, hey, hey, Bull. Th-this guy kinda looks familiar. Maybe we shouldn't mess wit' em?" The toothpick chewer suggested.
"Shaddap, Duncan!" The now identified Bull commanded. "I know this little shit said something crappy about me, and now he's gonna get it!"
"Uh...sorry boss." Duncan cowered.
"So, you gonna tell me what you obviously said to me?" Bull growled.
"It's none of your business. But if you really want to know, what I called you was, trash." The boy said with a sneer.
"That's it! You's gonna pay!" Bull threw a punch, but to his and his lackeys' surprise, the boy caught it with one hand!
"You obviously don't know who I am…" the boy said in a sinister tone. "Most gangs flee at the sight of me due to my...outlook... on things. So," here, the boy kneed Bull in the stomach and back handed him into a nearby wall with strength that seemed to not fit his physique.
Duncan along with eyepatch man backed up as they saw their boss was easily felled. The boy then looked at them.
"The name's Jakob. Jakob Black. Remember it scumbags." The boy smirked with a feral gleam in his eyes.
The remaining gang members whimpered as Jakob approached them with a sinister aura about him.
All that could be heard from the alleyway that day were pleas to stop and screams of pain.
Other gangs heard the nearby ruckus and they knew that the newbies had stumbled upon "The Black Devil". They could only pity the latest gang and hope that this painful lesson would stick. Otherwise, they'll get an even worse beating than they are getting right now.
"Not the face!"
POW!
Just another day in the life of Jakob Black...
~((-S_-A_-O))~
What are dreams? Are they merely figments of our imagination? Or are they actually more? For one girl in particular, they were a link to her past from long ago…
"Senna! I'm coming for you, Senna! Hang on!"
"Ichigo!"
"You still foolishly believe that you can save the Shinenju? Don't be a fool!"
"I made a promise that I would protect her and I swore it on my soul! Hyaaaaaaahhhhh!"
"Impossible!"
"You're awfully quiet for once. What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?"
"Shut your big fat mouth, Ichigo. Heh heh."
"Ichigo, I'm scared."
"Senna…"
"I won't do it. I just can't. I can't allow it. Not when this is such a wonderful world! With so many beautiful people living in it. Not where you live Ichigo. I can't let that happen!"
"It's okay. The Blanks are still near me and I'm not afraid of them anymore. If I return the memories to them then they'll be at peace. And the barrier between the two worlds will be strong again."
"But, Senna…"
"If the world were destroyed, there would be no Ichigo. I...just can't imagine a world without you!"
"Stop! You can't do this!"
"No Ichigo! I could never let YOU die instead of ME!"
…
"Ichigo… I have a favor to ask. I want you to take me back, check my family grave. Remember yesterday? When I told you that it was here? I was alive once. And I lived in this town. I just know it."
"Yea…"
"I don't remember everything, but I did have a family, I'm certain of it. I was in this world and I was alive, so there has to be a name on the grave."
"It was right around here…"
"It was just down this row, fourth from the end."
"Is there a name? My vision is blurred, I can't see very well. Is it...there?"
"...Yea. It's there,clear as day. You used to live in this town and...you had a family."
"(Sniffle). I'm… I'm so happy! I feel so warm. Ichigo...will we ever meet again?"
"Whatcha talking about? Of course we will."
"Goodbye Ichigo...I...will miss you…"
…
"ICHIGO!" The young girl shouted, fully awake from her past memory's dream.
As she looked around the room, she sighed and gave a small sniffle.
"Ichigo...I miss you so much...but, somehow…
"I'm alive!"
TO BE CONTINUED!
Yea, I know this doesn't make sense at first glance, but from what you can tell, this is a Bleach and Sword Art Online crossover. I've seen many fanfics that have SAO and Bleach as a crossover, but to my dismay, they never get finished. So I decided. I would try my hand at rewriting an SAO story since I had deleted my last one due to some constructive criticism that got to me. I was sensitive back then. I still somewhat am.
But yea. Anyway, this is only the start of this new revamp. I hope you will enjoy this and later down the line, the ideas I have for it as well! I will still be keeping my priorities straight though. Bloodlines will be a main work, while this and Awakening: FDTL, will be secondary.
Wish me luck and thank you to not only Tite Kubo's great anime/manga for this idea, but YouTube, and my good friend/fellow author, Mataras - The Red Swordsman! Hope you'll follow and favorite this; all of you! R&R!
