WARNING: this fic was inspired by jwg676's 'When Darkness Falls'. It includes a very dark, very twisted, very morbid behaviour about the captains. It will seem very OOC, so if you don't like it, don't read it. I'm kind of nervous as I right these notes because I know at least one person will flame me because it's so OOC. Especially the second one. But anyhow...
jwg676's fic is very good though, I wrote this within five minutes after reading hers.
Summary: They're different when that veil falls, that black veil that hides their pain and gives them freedom
Soi Fon
She stares with a blank face in the light, her eyebrows set determinedly to get through the day. When the black veil descends, she cuts the insides of her thighs until she feels she is on the verge of passing out, trying to use the pain to forget when her mistress left.
Byakuya
He walks with her in the light, but when that black veil falls, he passes by her room, watching her sleep. Then he injects the drugs from the labs, trying to forget the pain of the memory that she reminds him of.
Toushirou
He never smiles, even during the day. As the black veil drops, he cuts himself and cries as the river of crimson flows, for his love will always remain unrequited.
Kenpachi
The black veil has fallen. He stares at the ceiling blankly, as if to forget. Then he takes his zanpaktou and stabs his body, trying to forget the emptiness of not having a name.
Mayuri
He slips off his mask and looks at himself in the mirror, glaring at the reflection. It's so imperfect, so unreal. Then, within the black veil, he slashes his face with a knife and replaces the black-and-white covering that hides his true self.
Jushirou
He holds his white hair far enough out so that he can see it. Then he grimaces, reminded of his disease. As the black veil descends, he pulls out the bottles of sake from which he drinks straight, ignoring the tiny cup on the table. Slowly, the memories of Kaien and Miyako and Rukia fade from his alcohol-impaired mind.
All
As the black veil starts to disappear and is replaced with the brightening reddish-gold, they fall asleep, knowing that the next day will be just as terrible.
