The air was cool and crisp in Karakura with the Autumn leaves slipping through the air onto the ground. The yellow-reddish tint that coated the town was quite calming to Soi Fon who stood atop a field of broken bodies. Warm blood descend down her cheeks, through the deep gashes and vicious wounds to finally soak into her tattered uniform. She sighed deeply than raised her blade. "Suzumebachi are we truly doing the right thing, is there no other course of action we can take?" "We are here for a purpose and is it is necessary we will die for that purpose" Lieutenant Abarai charged at her from below, flying upward at the last second releasing his bankai. She simply smirked. "Mukyu Shunko!"she roared. Her hand smashed into the snake's mouth easily ripping it to shreds. She flash stepped directly in front of him slicing through bone and flesh alike, watching as he pitifully crumpled onto the ground. She turned away but something seemed to draw her to his dying body, something she couldn't quite understand. "Why, why did you do it?" most wouldn't have even heard the muttered words but to her they rang out louder than a gunshot. It was a permanent reminder of her treachery. How far she had gone and how far she was buried inside this lie.
Why had she done it; she could have simply let everything play its course and never had the words 'traitor' or 'Quincy bitch' associated with her, she would have never brought shame upon Squad two, nor the pang of regret she felt in her heart every time she was reminded of her choice. Her choice to betray the Soul Society, to leave her friends and family behind. "Please, just tell...me..wh" Renji's harsh voice interrupted her thoughts, his coughing staining her slippers. Soi Fon bent down, nonchalantly brushing the side of his face with her fingertips. He flinched at the mere thought of her touching him and it broke her heart. Another reminder of the monster she had forced herself to become. He struggled to get away from her grasping fruitlessly towards Zabimaru. "No, I have to much to live for! All of the training everything I've ever worked for my entire life will all go to waste if I die now!" "Stop, please stop struggling. Please I'm begging you." Her head was down but the tears falling gracelessly out of her eyes told him everything. She let her body fall surrendering all semblance of normality because she knew deep inside that her life may never be normal again. So she simply gave up pulling her arms tight around him in a vice grip and convulsing; she no longer tried to hold back the tears flowing from her eyes, she simply succumbed to all the pain and grief and let it all out.
"I can't tell you why but...just know I never wanted it to be like this." She wiped the tears off her face and smiled at him, then she punched him in the face. She gently put his head onto the ground and stood up. "Even if no one else in the world knows at least one person knows the truth."
"There, there she is!" a voice shouted. Backup. She could sense a captain's restia trailing behind the group. I take it it's time to retreat. Soi Fon closed her eyes and focused on darkness; nothing but darkness, all consuming crushing darkness full of death and despair. The end of everything. She felt it begin to take her. 'The darkness that takes only the chosen ones.'
