hey there, I was planning on only having this as a one shot story but I decided to give it a second chapter, which is this. but i have one thing to say which I'm sure a lot of other writers must feel as well.
when people follow and fav its great! but what I really want is for you to leave a review was well, tell me what you liked about it why you followed it why you faved it. It helps keep us writers writing it and throwing out new chapters on a regular basis. so when you see that button at the end of this chapter please press it as well as fave and follow. tell me what you like. what you think I can work on, maybe even what you would like to see happen in she story and I will see if its in my power to do that and keep the story true to how it is in my head as well. Please leave a review and I hope you like the story.
Enjoy!
Two half's of the same coin
You have not lived until you have died
You cannot have lived until you have died
Born only to die
A child will never know
What the family goes through
When they die before
Even opening their eyes for the first time
Born only to die
Life can be granted
Only to be taken
It's just a matter of when
A month
A year
A week
A child that dies before opening their eyes
Life is a cruel thing
The first thing she ever felt was a cold rush of air and a blinding light. The deafening sounds of a crying baby next to he,r then she was warm again. She was crying as well but then as time passed and she stopped crying and things dulled the light faded and the sounds melted away and she was cold again.
Light came again and she cried once more but it was still cold. She was alone, never knowing if she would have that warmth again, so she cried. She cried because she knew that a part of her was missing, her womb mate was gone and it chilled her to the bone, the warmth of the arms that she somehow knew to be her and her womb mate's mother, that was gone also.
A small town called Karakura town had a captain of the Gotei thirteen walking through its streets. They had sensed a strong flux of spirit energy only a day ago and more hollows had shown up looking for the strong soul.
Captain Hitsugaya walked the streets of Karakura town. Sensing the energy of the spirit as he turned a corner he found a hollow bearing down on some lost soul. With a swift movement, the hollow was down with a single flick of his zanpakuto. As the flecks floated into the sky and vanished he turned to perform conso on the soul. He froze when he saw the soul lying on the ground was a baby. Instead of doing conso, leaned down and looked at the child. She must have died only a few days ago, and only a week old. A sadness washed over him for the family. Child deaths were hard for soul reapers, especially one so young. He picked up the poor child and looked down at her. She was solid and not the slightest bit transparent, her spirt energy was high too. He sensed a familiar but weaker spirit energy behind him. Toshiro turned his head and saw his division's previous captain.
"Hey Toshiro," said Isshin Shiba, no Isshin Kurosaki. The once captain had a sad look in his eyes. "Do me a favour Toshiro, look after my kid will ya."
"This," Toshiro looked at the baby in wonder, "Is your-." Isshin cut him off as he walked passed him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah, her name is Isume," he said then left. Toshiro looked back down at Isume. She wasn't crying but she looked so sad. Her eyes were open, looking back up at him with the same colour eyes as his old captain. Toshiro held her to his shoulder as he opened a senkaimon, following the hell butterfly.
"Captain!" called Toshiro's vice-captain with glee, "Why do you have a baby in your arms?" he looked at her then back down to Isume.
"She will be raised here," he said.
"Why did you bring her through the senkaimon?" she asked "Why did you not do conso on her?" So many questions, Toshiro was getting a headache. He sighed and walked to his office. Rangiku following closely behind. "She has strong spirit energy captain." Toshiro sat at his desk, Isume still in his arms. He told Rangiku everything, and she gazed down at the baby with a sad look in her eyes.
"Captain, can I hold her please?" she asked. Toshiro passed Isume over and Rangiku held the child in her arms. "Captain, do you plan to raise her yourself?" she asked looking at her captain. He had a troubled look on his face.
"I will become her guardian, and I will help to raise her, but I think it's best if she was raised by a woman. I don't have much time for her," he said sighing and giving Rangiku a look.
"I will take her with me to the women's society, captain," she bowed her head and left with Isume asleep in her hold. And I will talk to the head captain. He thought getting back to his feet.
