Byakuya X OC
Chapter 1:
Walking calmly I go through the ritual of walking to the lake of partners once I was healed the tradition of my people makes it so that if I miss the time to go to the lake then I will not be able to take a partner... should that happen I would surly die. So I walk my feet barely making any marks on the grassy floor of the dense forest. I live in the Devine realms, we are only one of many, but the ones that I have learned are the Devine also known as the Light realm, the Dark realm, the Human realm and the Dead realm. They are only the names that I know these places by.
Walking seems to take all the energy out of me at the moment, but I must make this journey... now where was I ... yes the light realms are inhabited by Angels. We have wings and swords as well as many other attributes, yet unlike they have believed in the human worlds we aren't all pure and innocent and they don't become angels by living lives without sin... I would say that being an angel can be as much a punishment as anything that can happen after death.
My legs stumble and I trip only instead of meeting the soft floor I fall further. I keep falling through darkness. My vision is unclear, but when I can see again its blue and green. The green is getting bigger and closer. Too weak to open my wings I can't move and the sickening crunch as I hit the ground as well as the horrible pain that follows tells me that I have broken my wing and shattered my right wrist. I writhed in pain for some time, but when curiosity finally overwhelmed the pain I got up and looked around.
I'd landed in a garden of some sort with one other person standing there... it's a man with dark hair and white clips, but he doesn't have wings! I stare at the black clothes he's wearing for a moment before realising.
"You're a soul reaper!" my eyes popping from their sockets.
"Yes, that much is obvious. Who are you?" he looks down at me and I notice the grey steel colours of his eyes are so cold.
"Well I would think the wings would make that obvious. I am an Angel, but don't worry about me I'll just take a holiday here shall I, or maybe I could go somewhere else? There is one problem though."
"Really?" he seems to catch my sarcasm.
"Yes the little flaw is that I am simply... how to put this..." I was about to use some witty remark when I accidently moved causing pain to my right wing. Hissing through the pain he understands and sends someone running off. The searing pain in my back only gets worse and soon enough I black out. The only thought lingering in my mind is that of the first man I've met here and his cold empty eyes.
I open my eyes to a throbbing back, wrist and a blurry room. I blink several times and still my focus doesn't return so I watch the wall as I try to ignore the pain. I feel my heart beat through my chest and try to think about my friends that I've met that are soul reapers. A woman soon enters my room and waits by the door. She says nothing and only watches me.
"I have given you something for the pain. It will take a little while to take effect though." She said and it made sense.
"Please don't do that again. My eyes won't focus now and your medicines will have no effect on me. My body doesn't respond to human medicine. They only make me feel more out of place here." 'Don't you think that was a bit mean?' my zanpakuto said in my mind.
'"It doesn't matter if it is mean or not it is true"' silence...*sigh* I'm going to need to do something about this aren't I?
"Would I be able to speak to Ukitake Jushiro and Kyoroku Shunsui?" I said the names of my old friends. They have angel blood so they were required to train as Angels for a period of 10 years in the Divine realms, so they became good friends of mine.
"Yes sure. I'll make sure that they are here soon." She takes her leave of me and all that fills my mind is the soul reaper who I met... who was he and why are his eyes so cold and empty? These questions may never be answered, but maybe I shall meet him again, since I am stuck here until my wing heals, maybe we shall meet again.
I woke after what I could only guess had been sleep to see two familiar forms beside my bed. My visions still a bit unsure because of the medication that she gave me. Smiling sadly to the older pair of friends I remember who I am. Sitting up straight I take a calming breath before I begin to speak.
"It's been a while since I have seen the two of you." They seem pleased that I'd missed them and for the next few hours we reminisce about old times, and we talk about the new. When our talks changed to that of the upcoming war I looked down.
"Yes I have heard about that. The elders have refused to allow anyone to travel away from the realms while there have been fighting here... I didn't know that it was that bad..."
The captains turned sullen and waited before saying anything. "If they have forbidden the movement between the worlds then how did you get here?" ukitake asked being the smartest of the pair.
"I don't know exactly... you see... I fell." They tried, but only for a few seconds before they laughed. Literally rolling on the floor laughing so hard that they held their aching sides. For a long time that was all that was heard in the room and others outside decided it better not to ask.
"Okay so how does an angel fall?" shunsui asked still giggling slightly.
"I don't know." I answer in a sullen and dark tone.
