Chapter Two
Change in Destiny
Rukia entered what she was hoping was the Seireitei, but the place wasn't anything of the Seireitei. It was frozen with what looked like ice. What was this strange ice-like substance? It was something she wasn't use to. Her body froze as she saw that many of the Soul Reapers were trapped in the ice-like substance.
"What the-" Rukia looked around. The floor was surely covered in snow, and the buildings had that strange ice looking stuff around it…almost like a barrier. The sky was grey, giving the light in the streets a bit of a blur.
She walked down a long road that led toward District 6. The further she went the harder it was to walk. She struggled to maintain her balance in the heavy snow. She could feel herself get frost bite, but she had to keep going. At least until she knew that Renji and Byakuya were alright.
Hours went by, or so she thought it felt like. She couldn't help but collapse in the snow. She rested in a deep hill of snow. She looked up at the grey sky and sighed.
"Still breathing?" Rukia looked up at a hazy woman. The woman had a kind gentle voice. Could she be a Soul Reaper, she thought to herself.
"W-Who are you?" Rukia asked, getting back to her feet. Her vision wasn't clear but she could see small details. The woman had long black hair and fair skin. Her hair was moving along with the breeze.
"Rin Kyokou" there was a pause between them. "Your zanpakuto possesses ice affinity, does it not young Soul Reaper?" Rukia saw Rin walk closer to her.
"How did you know that?" Rukia took her sword from the slot. She pointed it at Rin unevenly.
"I sense that of you. I use to be of this world. I use to be just like you actually. Did you know I can know everything of a person just by looking at them?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Rukia cried.
"I'll tell you of my past, young Soul Reaper"
Rukia looked at Rin as though in disbelief.
"You filthy bitch! You don't belong here! I'm not sure why we even had you! Get out of here!" she would yell at me"
"I felt her cold boney hand hit hard against my frail cheek. Heat rose to my cheek as the blood rushed to it. I stared at the monster called mom. The look in her eyes said that I wasn't her child. It said that it was just a miss happening of child labor on her.
"I felt scared as I walked down a long street that leads pretty much into town. I was no older then six years old. My name was Rin Kyokou. Every time mom brought home a guy she usually just kicked me out with her abusive fighting hands. Around this time I realized I had this strange spiritual energy. Out cast. Like me. People whose parents didn't want. People who were different then others.

"I decided to create a world, not connected to this one, to have people who believe in their inner self. A place for outcasts with strange abilities. Soon I realized there wasn't just me. Hundreds of people began to live in my society. I had organized the place. So I made the Rukon district, the Soul Society, and the Seireitei. All three parts were divided into spiritual power. I, my self shot straight to the Seireitei. My spiritual energy was so grand that they had no choice but to make me their head captain.
"Then that's when it hit me! Why not separate the Seireitei into six different directs and have them ruled by six different captains and lieutenants? So that's what I did. I would be the one controlling everyone else. It was beautiful! I was happy.
"But soon after about a hundred years past I got lonely. Sure I had many of my people around me but I had no one to share it with. I guess you can say that any woman would want someone special and close to her, no?" she gave me a keen look but continued. "Anyway, a few lonely months pasted by and I went on a special mission to the Rukon District to gather more people. I went there and there I saw a man. He looked so beautiful.
"He had dark broke hair that reached to his shoulders, and his face was flawless. His skin was a bit light conflicted, but that didn't matter. He had a small beard growing but it made him look cute. Or I thought so. His spiritual energy hit me like a pile of bricks. He was perfect. I had to have him. So I went to him. I asked him and he agreed.
"Well, soon after he joined us he became my lieutenant. I didn't assign it but his spiritual power was great. Almost as great as mine. We worked together for several of hundred of years. His spiritual power grew while mine slowly decreased. But then suddenly things changed. He challenged me for Captain Seat for squad one. He defeated me and soon became known as Captain Yamamoto Genryuusai. I went down the list toward squad five. I didn't want to break my own rules so I just stayed there. He soon changed the laws of the place. He made it to 13 court squads and added a school for people to study to be a special person. And he changed the name to Soul Reaper. The rules got tougher and harder. The captains were strong and unable to be surpassed by their lower ranks.
"I just stayed in the shadows for years. Not even more then ten. But then he came to me and told me that I was to be removed from the 13 court squad guards in order to make more room for better and higher spiritual energies. I just looked at him in disbelieve. This man? The one that I had fallen in love with was kicking me out of my own place? No!
"I put up quite a fight, killed ten "Soul Reapers" I did. But soon he had pinned me down and put a Kido wall to keep people out, like me. Over the next generations I watched him age and new and better improved captains and lieutenants came in view. I saw how he had trouble keeping order in the Seireitei. I thought for a moment that he would beg me back, but he didn't. He just watched me suffer with the Rukon District"
Rin looked at Rukia and smirked. She came closer to her, making Rukia wish that she was passed out. Not having to look into those eyes. But they found her. They were glued onto Rukia.
"H-How does that make us alike?" Rukia trembled from the coldness of the place.
"We both started in low places and slowly made our ways toward nobility. We both have men we love but knowing they will never love us back the way we want them too. We suffered the hardships of life without asking for it! It's who we are!" she let out a cold laugh. "Join me, young Soul Reaper. With your Ice Zanpakuto and my amazing powers, we can over ride Yamamoto and have this Soul Society to ourselves!" another laugh came threw her lips. "I won't take no for an answer"
"Sorry to burst your bubble but I won't turn my back on them!" Rukia stood up and held her sword to Rin's face. "I shall kill you for hurting so many people!"
Rin sighed as though she was tired of playing with kids. "Always the hard with you Soul Reapers. Very well" she snapped her fingers.
The ice hills crackled and many soul reapers leaked from them. They walked toward her. They didn't use their swords, knowing that Rukia wouldn't hurt them even if they were armed.
"What the-"
"I bet when you entered this land you noticed this ice-like flounce. It's a special blend of mine I gave my zanpakuto to make so I could control the mind of the people that were frozen under the ice"
"You monster!" Rukia cried.
"Thank you" Rin smiled and turned her attention toward the other Soul Reapers.
They grabbed her and their faces blocked out the last of the sun's light from her. She quickly was put into a deep sleep. This is the end. If this was the end then she would want to see his face once more before she died… Ichigo.
