So here's the second one, it's Rangiku and Haineko this time. I'm so cruel and evil. I'm writing Rukia's right now… I think I'm mean. Oh well. Thank you for reading this.
To Hyorinmaru10: Thank you! It warms my heart… not that I have one. :) So this is for you! I hope you like it… or not. That'd be a little weird, people die in this…
Rangiku and Haineko
A little girl with sunset orange hair runs over to a young man, her brother, with lavender locks. "What is it, Sarah?" the boy asks.
"Nothing," the girl, Sarah says, "I just wanted to come see you, Zel. You've been gone all day!"
"So you're home again Zelgadas, my boy."
"Yes, father."
"Hey papa," little Sarah pipes up, "Can big brother Zel play with me, please?" The man only nods. "Yay! Let's go, brother. Let's go!"
"Alright, alright," he says laughingly, taking up his sister's tiny hand. He glances back at his father before leaving with her.
Unbenost to the siblings, their father was in great trouble. He owed money to a very powerful man, the king himself. So when Zelgadas and Sarah were out playing, he went to his debtor to ask for a separate solution.
"I am sorry, Your Majesty, but I cannot find the proper amount of money you seek from me," he says, head held low.
"Well if you cannot pay through money, then you may pay through a different sort of way. Give me your son to send into the army."
"But please, Highness, there has to be another way. Please I'll do almost anything!"
"Well give me your daughter then, not for the army, but as a slave." The king smiles a truly evil smile then, one that would even rival Lucifer's.
Their father only nodded numbly before he was escorted outside.
That next day while Zelgadas was out practicing with his blade, the royal huntsmen came for Sarah. She was picking lilies for Zel, her angel, she says.
She had a fistful bound by a long stem and was walking home when a shadow fell across her. She turned around with a wide smile thinking it was Zel. But it wasn't. She tries to scream but a cloth's placed over her mouth. She breathes in the sickly sweet fumes of chloroform and only manages to whisper, "Zel." before losing consciousness.
Sarah wakes up bound tightly by ropes around her wrists. She squirms and thrashes, attracting the attention of the huntsmen. "Hey pretty thing. Ya up now," one says.
"How about assisting us all in something a little pleasure givin'." The look of mortification was hard to miss on the little girls face. Sarah thrashes harder and harder the longer she is tied up.
Suddenly a loud roar vibrates though the hollow. The huntsmen stiffen with fear before running away with cries of "Shadow Cat! Run away! Shadow Cat!"
Sarah momentarily becomes relived until a black smoky-like panther pads in. It's vibrant blue eyes latch onto hers, and kind of understanding passes through them.
It reaches forward, it's, his, mouth open. She closes her grey pools waiting for the pain. It never comes. She opens her eyes to find its tongue rasping at her cheek. It grasps her by her binds lifting her gently from the ground. And in its gentle grasp, she falls victim to slumber.
"Wake up little one," a soft manly voice meows into her ear.
She opens her eyes to find the strange Shadow Cat from before has joined up with another smaller one. "Who are you?" she asks, "Why did you save me?"
He lays down a catlike smirk pops up onto his face. "As for your second question, I couldn't let them hurt you. For the first, I am Jaisedaron, call me Jaise." He gestures to the other of his kind before saying, "This is my sister, Haineko."
-Time Break-
As time passed, Sarah, now known as Rangiku, became accustomed to the life she now lived. And she loved the two cats as her own family, even temperately forgetting Zelgadas.
Two years later, the trio is walking by a village as you will occasionally pass one when you're traveling. A hunter in the same forest is walking home too. And he sets his sights on the cats, completely missing Rangiku. So when the girl sees him, she jumps in front of Haineko and Jaise in the same moment the trigger is pulled.
The force of the shot rips through the girl's chest, piercing her lungs. The bullet continues onward, getting Haineko in side.
Rangiku's vision grows dark, and in the end she hears two more shots and then nothing.
