Though there was no sun in the sky, the azure blue dotted with puffs of white clouds filled the view of a certain man who lay stretched out on his back in the middle of a street. Confused, he blinked his dark blue eyes a couple times before sitting up to see old buildings and people walking around in old clothing going about their daily lives.
A small boy, no older than 10 saw the midnight blue haired stranger, and realizing he was confuse, approached him. "Hey, mister, you new around here?" The boy asked.
"I guess I am, where is 'here' away?" The man asked standing up.
"You're in the 37th district of the Rukongai." The boy stated with a big smile. "Welcome to Soul Society."
"'Soul Society', where's that?" The man asked, still not sure where he was exactly.
"Oh, I guess you don't remember anything at all, do ya?" The boy asked as the man shook his head. "Well, you're dead." The boy stated matter-of-factly. "This is the afterlife."
The man merely cocked his head to the side, looking at the child. "Dead? So I died and came here?" He asked in disbelief, but playing along. The child nodded in response, still with his innocent smile. "Okay, so what do we do now?"
"Live out our afterlife until we go live again, I think. I'm not really sure. I heard some grown-ups talking about it before, but you should ask a Shinigami if you want some more information."
"Shinigami? As in the Gods of Death?" The man asked, again merely playing along with the child. "So I died just so I can live to live again?"
"That's right." A man's voice said from behind him. "That boy is telling you the truth. Everyone here has died and come to Soul Society to wait and live again." The blue hair man turned to see the source of the voice. "You don't remember your old life as most souls don't but the truth is that you are dead. The man looked around a bit, still not sure whether or not to believe that he was dead. "So, do you at least remember your name?" The man asked the newcomer.
"Yamaru." The stranger replied. "Kireajiha Yamaru."
