Izumi Chieko never really had a good life. Orphaned at the age of 4, brought into the army at the age 17, she never really had a good life. So when she died at the age of 60, she didn't know that she would soon become one of the greatest legends in soul society history. Now stuck in a 3 year old body, it seems that things are going to get a crazier and crazier. Takes place 5,000 before the sol society arc.

Past

Present

"Talking"

"Talking in the past"

The sound of blades clashing resonates through the void, the smell of blood fills the air as two blurs fight to the death in an endless match of explosions and bloodshed. The two blurs stop, facing each other with calm stares as they look over themselves; covered in the blood of the enemy they hold their zanpakuto in a ready position, waiting for the other to make their move as they ready themselves for the final attack.

Finally one speaks, breaking the silence with a grin.

"How about we make this our final attack to end the battle ne? I'm bored of just fighting with no outcome."

"As battle ready as ever eh Chieko?"

The first speaker, Chieko, smirks in response.

"You know me best Akira."

The second speaker, Akira, closes her eyes and smiles preparing for her last attack.

"Let the final battle begin."

Perhaps I should tell you my story before this battle began…

I was considered weird, in fact I still am, but I was also scared, scared of the world and all it has done to me.

A young girl, only the age of 4 walks home with a smile on her face

I was shy, bullied, the world was never bright at all, and that was a fact. I would've rather have died.

She was excited to get home, for it was her birthday and her parents were finally home from the daunting work

Life was dull. I would come home everyday and think, think of what my life could've been if I was stronger.

When the little girl opened the door, she was greeted with blood

And it soon became my resolve to become stronger, after many years of hiding.

There on the floor were both her parents, stained with blood as a man licked his sword clean

I would be stronger.

The man slowly started walking towards her readying his blade as he swiped forward only to cut down the young girls mom instead. The woman turned around sharply cutting the enemies head clean off with a translucent blade.

I would protect my love ones!

"Live" was all the woman could say as she collapsed to the ground. All the little girl could do is look in horror as her parents died on the floor, eyes dull and lifeless

Stronger.

"M-Mommy…. Da-Daddy… why are you on the floor, why wont you wake up?"

Stronger.

"Mommy…get up please don't leave me alone…. Y-you too daddy stop playing and get up it's my birthday, y-you said we were going to celebrate!"

STRONGER!

"MOMMY! DADDY! DON'T LEAVE ME!"

A girl the age of 5 walks through the corridor of her school, her face shown no emotion as she walked on, her hair, almost silver in the light of the day as her dull green eyes searched for meaning, meaning to know why she was alive, why she was in so much pain. Suddenly, she was push to the ground with a terrible whack, her tormentor had arrived.

A large boy walked up to the girl, eyes filled with malice as he started to grin with great amounts of hatred pulsing out of his body.

The young girl finally showed some emotion, while not showing emotion on her face her eyes showed it all, terror was present in her eyes as she could do nothing but take the pain and words that came from the boys horrid mouth.

"You're useless" the boy says.

*WHACK*

"You're Weird"

*WHACK* * SMACK*

"You're nothing but a nuisance"

*WHACK* *HIT* *SMACK*

"WHY ARE YOU EVEN ALIVE?"

*HIT* *KICK* *SMACK* *PUNCH* *WHACK*

There the girl lay on the floor, her nose bleeding as she slowly got up and left thinking the same thing as she always did.

"Why am I alive?"

Finally, at the age of 17, her answer came to her.

A girl no older than 17 walks down a dark alley from a rough day at work, not wanting to go "home" just yet she goes to a small on the corner of the street. She sits on a bench daydreaming. Suddenly she feels someone grabbing her shoulder, out of instinct she grabs the mans arm and throws him over her shoulder, she didn't take self-defense classes for no reason. The man falls over, landing on his head he rolls over and lays flat on his back groaning.

"Who are you and what do you want?" the girl says, her silvery blond hair falls down her back in a smooth fashion.

She looks at the man more thoroughly and found that he looked no older than 60 years old.

"I just wanted to ask for directions…." That man said grasping his sore head.

Blushing the girl helped the old man up to the bench.

"I'm sorry Mister…."

"Himasaki Kazuto"

"Well I'm sorry Himasaki-san for um…throwing you." The girl said scratching the back of her head.

"Its not a problem, now child, tell me your name." Replied the man.

"Izumi Chieko"

"Fountain of wisdom eh?"

"Yes"

"well Chieko-Chan, may I ask you a question?"

"Sure I guess"

"What is the meaning of life?"

"The meaning of life… I guess it means Change."

"What do you mean change?"

"Learning to adapt, to learn from your mistakes and get better, to fall in love and be broken hearted to feel different emotions you have never felt before."

"Hmmm" was the mans only reply.

"Chieko I have a proposition for you"

"And that is?"

"Will you join the army as a recruit?"

And I guess that's where the story really begins, the start of a new adventure that will place a mark in the history of the soul society for thousands of years to come.

You could say that this chapter was the prologue to the real story. Sorry that this chapter is short we'll try to make the chapters much bigger.
