The Mysteries of This Life

Prologue: Living as YK

"Why should we let this happen," the royal family asked in wonder to the person in front of them.

"To tell you the truth, I'm not completely sure myself. I just feel as though I'm useless living in the soul society known only to the head captain and the royal family which holds the king of the soul society. I'm hidden constantly. No one knows of my existence anymore. Why continue to live there as a secret when I can be in the world of the living defeating hollows and even the newer threat of arrancars and Aizen? Please king. I ask of you in desperation. I will go there and serve you if you wish." The young soul reaper looked up in desperation at the royal family.

"And what if you get caught? You hold something precious to us."

"And what would that be? Your royal blood that is coursing through my veins?"

"No. The key that allows anyone to enter here is hidden inside of you."

"Then hide it somewhere else! I don't want to sit in the soul society as a secret! I'm there as the guard to the head captain yet anytime there is someone that might be a threat to him, he sends me out of the sei-rei-tei! I am nothing there but a secret that is hidden from the world inside. The last knowledge anyone there has of me is the memory of tiny and sweet little Sari Saito. I am known as the heir to that family estate. I am known as one of the very few members left in that family. My mother was supposed to be the heir, but she died. She can't be the heir so they looked to me, her only child. I want to go to the world of the living and find who is was and who I need to be. I want to find my father and find who I am currently. I am a noble, a princess even. That's all I know about who I truly am in the soul society. I want to bring back the spirit and the skills I once had. Let me go to the world of the living. Let me live with the name I had before all of this happened. I have been in such a small little world since I have been taken away from the inquiring eyes of the members of the soul society. More specifically from the members of the thirteen court guard squads. And even more specific than that, the members of my old squad. If you remember, I was in squad three. Gin Ichimaru was my captain and he was one of the traitor captains as well. It's quite a let down that my old captain was a traitor and betrayed the thing which I lived for. I lived for the soul society with full thirteen court guard squads. I have no meaning here anymore. Please let me go to the world of the living. I will do whatever you want. Just let me go grandfather! Please! I beg of you! I am no longer able to fulfill any duties there or any duties as a princess for the royal family or for the Saito family! I can't be here anymore! I don't know who I am anymore. I don't know why I wasn't killed years ago. If you don't want to grant my request, then please kill me so I no longer have to deal with living without a true identity. Please." Sari said all this and then broke down in sobs. She fell to the floor and sobbed at the cruelty of her identity leaving her. The royal family was startled. They had never seen her let out a single tear for many years. The last time a tear had escaped her eye was the time that her mother was killed before her very eyes. The royal family turned away and had a short conference amongst themselves. When they finished they turned back to Sari, who had finished crying. There were still stains on her face from her tears.

"We have decided! You will go to the world of the living Sari." Sari looked up in joy, but she still looked sad. "But there are a few conditions to this happening. Your memories of the soul society and us will be replaced by that of going to a private school because of you being a problem child and sneaking away from your father while there. You will also have your zanpakto broken in its unreleased form."

"I can't release it though! How will I use it if I can't release it?"

"You will not use it at all. You will not need to use it. The last condition should be obvious by now. You will have your soul reaper powers sealed inside of you, but you will still have your enormous spiritual pressure. If you do not accept to these terms, then you will stay in the soul society."

"I accept these conditions grandfather."

"Then your soul society name Sari Saito will be gone from you and your memory. You will not stay away from us forever. You are unable to."

"I know. All I want is to learn who I am through this experience."

"Very well. Break her zanpakto, replace her memories and make sure she is unconscious before you put her in the world of the living. When you put her there, Put her in Karakura Town. She knows that place well. That is where she is comfortable anyways. And contact the head captain. Let him know everything that has happened. Tell him to contact someone there that will protect her and keep her safe until she can gain control of her powers and spiritual pressure again." By the time he finished talking, someone had already taken Sari to Karakura town. She laid limp in the person's arms. Her plain white dress was flapping out behind them and her long hair was let down to fly freely behind them. She wore one piece of jewelry, a necklace with her initials on it. It sparkled in the dim light from the alley's lamps. The two letters that would help others recognize who she was, the letters YK.

(A/N: That was the prologue. I don't own Bleach. If I did it would be a chaotic show that no one could follow. I only own Sari Saito and everything that happens in this story. Have a great day!)
