Midori Nakasone was a tortured soul. Her life in Soul Society had dealt her a fate that she was not disserving of. Midori was quiet, modest, and very sweet, but she always looked tired or weak, like she had not slept in days. Because of what she was given, she had to fear for her life everyday. Midori was strong once, but she had been broken down into nearly nothing. There was a time when Midori was not so reserved and scared, a time when she could stand up for herself and throw back a punch. Midori had always been a nice person, she used t be strong, but now she was a sweet person who ad no will to stand up for herself. Midori was not only a beautiful person on the outside, but she was on the outside as well. She had dark brown hair she used to clip back with rose barrettes that Captain Otoribashi gave her as gift when he first met her as his third seat. He gave those to her the day she left to become the squad ten lieutenant. Also the day her torture began. She had pale skin and the most electrifying green eyes you would ever see. After Midori had become the tenth's lieutenant everyone noticed the change in her personality. She became more reserved and modest. She seemed to grow weaker and seemed to always be scared. There were reasons for this, but Midori never told anyone. She didn't want to be a bother to anyone. She actually thought she was a bother to her own friends. That is how broken she became.
The day she met her captain for the tenth division is the day she died a second time, emotionally. She relieved that day in her dreams every night, but there was never anyone to help her through those horrible nightmares. Sometimes she wishes she were dead because of the pain he caused her. She was forced to do his job for him. At least one good thing came of her transfer. She got to see Rose a lot and Shinji even. She had to run a lot of errands and messages to other captains. From that they all found a liking in the sweet but meek Midori. Even Kensei would beat the hell out of anyone who looked at her wrong. Midori and her captain had not been seen together very often and many noticed Midori's habit to apologize too often. Midori often told them it was just a habit, but they felt like there was more to her little 'traits.'
"Come into my office, Nakasone." Her new captain ordered her. Willingly, suspecting nothing, she followed her captain. Her new captain shut the door behind her. Midori still faced the desk, but to her surprise was slapped across her face by her captain.
"C-captain, what was that for?" she asked angrily
"Shut up!" he ordered as he hit her harder this time so she fell to the ground. Midori landed with a painful thud,
"Captain, what the hell's the matter with you! Why are you doing this?" Midori asked with her electric green eyes glaring at her commander
"I told you to keep your goddamn mouth shut!" he kicked her sides "You…you think you can go on reminding me of her?"
"Her? Who's her?" Midori asked holding her sides painfully.
"You're just like her! You just have to remind me of my dead wife don't you?" her captain asked screaming. He grabbed her up by her collar and punched her face until bruises formed and blood leaked from her nose.
"S-stop it captain! Stop!" Midori ordered, but she was answered with a punch to her stomach making her cough blood, "P-please…" she begged. Midori never begged before. He threw her into a shelf and the whole thing toppled. She rolled out of the way, but the shelf hit her leg. She suppressed her cries, but tears leaked from her eyes, "C-captain…stop please…it hurts." Midori begged the man in front of her.
"You'll pay for taunting me so, bitch." The monster said yanking her hair painfully. "If you tell anyone about this, I'll kill you or worse." He left Midori on the ground to bleed and almost die. All Midori could think to do was cry. Why had she been beaten? Why didn't she fight back? Her whole body hurt. Her right eye was swollen shut and black and blue. Her ribcage was completely covered in bruises and she had broken a few ribs more likely. She wished Rose was there to save her. She wished someone would save her.
"I'm sorry…captain." She said as she lost consciousness.
Years went by with the same treatment. Midori was abused by her captain and she never told a soul. She managed to figure out that she reminded her captain of his wife, whom he loved dearly, but died. Not a day went by when Midori didn't acquire a new bruise or other injury. She had been broken from her confident self into a weaker and reserved girl. Many wondered why she always looked battered and beaten, but she told them it was a training accident. Shinji and Rose had their suspicions. Seeing Midori beaten like that pissed him off more than anything, even Hiyori couldn't piss him off that much. While she was still in squad three, Shinji had made a close connection with Midori. He told her 'If that same guy you're 'training' with does the same thing again, I'll kick his ass.' Shinji knew better than to think Midori was telling the truth about her appearance everyday. Rose had often confronted her captain about why Midori was always hurt. He told him it was training, and that they were hardcore when it came to practice. Rose left still not satisfied with the answers he got. So every night someone confronted him about Midori she was beaten even worse than usual and because of that she would end up hospitalized in squad four. After numerous treatments, Captain Unohana would not tolerate such treatment any further. She confronted the other squad members of the tenth, but they said they never trained with Midori and that they hardly ever saw her. Unohana went straight to Midori's captain and, much to her horror, found him beating Midori. She managed to incapacitate the other captain and save Midori's life, which had almost been taken from her than night. After Captain Yamamoto was alerted of squad ten captain's treatment to his subordinate he had him stripped of his captaincy and put in prison for a number of years, but the captain died after committing suicide. Midori begged Head Captain Yamamoto and Captain Unohana never to alert the other captains about her abuse. She claimed she didn't want to interfere with work. Yamamoto agreed to Midori's wishes as did Unohana, but with more reluctance. At this moment of her life, Midori would need support from her friends. Midori went about her normal life and many noticed how she grew stronger, but she was never that same person she was before she joined squad ten. She never told anyone, not even Rose or Shinji knew. All Midori cared about was making sure her friends never had to worry about her.
Now that life was far behind her. She was residing in the world of the living now with the others who had been hollowfied by Aizen. She would need to work hard to suppress her inner hollow. She knew being hollowfied was probably a horrible thing, but she was glad the others were with her the whole way. She had tried so hard to put that life and that abuse behind her, but until one faces their past one can never move on.
A/N: Okay, so his is like a prologue to the real story. Midori is not the same person as she is in my other fic 'Pretty Eyes.' This is Au-ish so it won't follow the Bleach plot exactly because of my OC. I hope you enjoyed it and it will get better. And yes, Midori is a vizard too.
