"And when life's sweet fable ends,
Soul and body part like friends;
No quarrels, murmurs, no delay;
A kiss, a sigh, and so away."-Richard Crashaw
"Every living soul that has ever even breathe the air of the earth, have ever spared a single cell, molecule, atom, has been to the Soul Society. Those souls, stronger in their abilities, tend to remain in the Soul Society and hone their spiritual abilities. Others live their worry free lives until they are summoned back into the earth, born to a newborn baby. Their memories are completely wiped out and they love this new life, their reincarnated life.
Sometimes, however, destiny denies the poor souls to rest and be reincarnated properly."
This ancient teaching, a teaching that has long been forgotten; what was once told amongst the souls, the Shinigami and the trainees has been crushed, though the lesson has long been forgotten it is still true.
The pages of the book may be torn, ripped and shredded and perhaps even burned but the book still existed, and it's words still live on.
No one amongst the Shinigami, from the twelfth seat to the Lieutenant to the Captain could ever understand why the seemingly foreign energies of the ryokas seemed so, for lack of better word, familiar. Even the leader of the Gotei 13 couldn't fathom why he hadn't sensed their alien energies.
It's because they had already been there. Sometimes, people are meant to be together. Sometimes, they shouldn't be together. Love can overcome the odds. Sometimes…it's unnatural for the two people to be together, as in their class or even their race. They where made for each other, though in the wrong place. A Shinigami and a Quincy; they where destined to be together, love each other, destroy each other.
They where meant to be; they just weren't meant to be together.
A/N: A short, but hopefully, intriguing prologue. Im slowly getting over my writers block, especially since I'm writing all my story ideas down on paper and getting them out of my mind. I'm halfway through all my updates (as in each new chapter is half done hahaha) Enjoy, this is a slight AU IChi-Uri (Because of that HAWT new Uri **swoons and faints** haha)
