Life Is Not Like Soccer
Life is not like soccer, sure it is fast paced and full of competition but it is not fair. If someone hurts you they don't get sent off, there is no penalty shots, no do over's. Like soccer life is hard and that won't change but like soccer you learn the game and hope for the best.
A rip comes across the sky and guess what another hollow, like Karakuda Town doesn't have enough of them. Honestly are the shinigami doing anything at all? Yes I am being a bitch but you would be a tad bitchy to if there is a constant stream of giant monsters trying to eat you upon a daily basis. Ok I know that's not fair I mean Karakuda is one small town in Japan but still with Ichigo and his friends gone off on another lets save the world things and just dad, Afro-san and Urahara's group left protecting the town so we are basically screwed.
It's not their fault it is Aizens, fucking Aizen. The douche bag suddenly escaped from prison which was basically supposed to be impossible and gone off on another let's take over the world of the living and the soul society thing. If you ask me that guy needs to get a better hobby.
My feet pound upon the ground, the scenery around me is changing as well. Good bye town that experiences monthly apocalyptic situations, hello deep dark scary woods. Yes the woods, my intelligence eludes me as well.
Running is all that I can seem to do, run to a secluded place, run around waiting for a shinigami, and try not to get eaten. Life is so good and if anybody can't tell that was sarcasm my one true friend who I will never let go.
The trees get thicker as some roots begin to appear above the ground. You know in those movies where the girl is running away from the giant scary monster and people always mock her for being so stupid, well I am that girl at the moment and if I survive this and find out that you were mocking me I will personally kick your ass.
Running I feel the hollow getting closer, and I am running out of breath. The hollows arm rips across my chest. It slashes through my ribcage slicing across my heart, lungs, muscles and all that other stuff. There is blood seeping from my body, you can see my organs hanging outside of it partially.
I begin to run faster, the woods become thicker and my feet pound the ground harder. The broken chain upon my chest is really bugging me and I can't breathe. Ok thirteen years of seeing dead people and none mention the breathing thing. This is just the best day ever you know get chased by a hollow get killed and keep on getting chased. Oh my god if this day had a form it would be a bright constant stream of sunshine coming out of the arse of a fucking unicorn.
Suddenly a dark figure Shunpos above me, a zanpakuto slices the hollow in two. The pieces turn dark and flutter away.
The figure turns around it's my father but instead of the usual goofy expression his face is stony and serious like Ichigo's. He looks at me and he says 'Karin lets go home.'
The broken chain is upon my chest it feels heavy, I open my mouth to say something, anything but nothing comes out. My knees buckle, I sit there unable to get up thinking what am I going to do how will I tell Yuzu, or Ichigo.
Dad comes over picks me up in his arms and carries me out of the woods towards home. The thing is it won't be home anymore. Soon I will need to move on because if I don't I will turn into a hollow and hurt those around me but I will miss my family so much. Still they could visit me I mean that is a perk of having two soul reapers in the family.
The scenery changes from the woods to the streets of the town we all know until we reach he clinic. Dad places me upon the couch and gets into his Gigai. He goes to the phone and makes a call probably to Yuzu. After making the call he comes over to the couch and sits there his face in his hands. He looks broken, I mean usually he is extremely hyper active and happy but now, it's like the life has left him. It sounds weird but when mum died he got even more hyper active and happy to try and keep me, Yuzu and Ichigo happy and to keep our minds off it. It didn't work but still we appreciated it despite the yelling and constant fights it caused.
It doesn't take long for Yuzu to get here. She bursts in through the front door, blond hair flailing wildly and tears pouring from her eyes. Her eyes set on me and she rushes over here. Her arms embrace me, the tears flowing more heavily from her eyes than before.
At this moment I hate it how in the past few years our powers grew. Yuzu's abilities were the weakest but now she can see shinigami, hollows as well as see ghosts clearly. Before we could shield her and protect her from what was happening around us but now she sees everything. I am not saying that she is weak or anything. In fact she is strong and tough even though she doesn't look it. She is not afraid to cry, she helps others as much as she can and in any emergency she is always there to help. The problem is that she is not violent. Like everyone she can fight but she chooses not to because she cares too much. She will help anyone and everyone even if they wanted to cause her harm.
Dad is still there silent and broken; I remain silent feeling Yuzu's arms around me, memorizing the texture, the feel of everything because this will probably be one of the last times this will ever happen. The only sounds are Yuzu's crying and Ichigo is gone. Eventually Yuzu's arms around me loosen; I turn to look at her face is tear stained blotchy. I try to smile to tell her it is ok but nothing comes out like a fish a fucking fish.
Yuzu opens her mouth and outcomes the words that needed to be said 'Karin I love you so much, I know this is one of the worst things that could have happened. Soon you will have to go to the soul society and I hate that but it is also one of the only ways to keep you safe. If you stay here the way that you are you will be vulnerable to Hollows, Arrancar and who knows what else. I won't see you for a while but one day I will.'
Dad looks up from the couch and says 'Karin you are one of my daughters and I love you. Please move on peacefully don't linger, you should have died peacefully surrounded by your children and grandchildren. '
My eyes are watering but the tears don't fall. I look up at dad; he is still in his Gigai.
'Get out of your Gigai old man and let's get this over with.'
I could have put that better but I am not good at the whole goodbye thing.
Dad takes out a soul candy and puts it in his mouth. The fake soul takes the body into the next room. He looks at me, it's devastating. The hilt of the zanpakuto touches my head.
