Chapter 7 - Not yet

I just wanted to lose consciousness, The deepest part of my brain had been clouded over and there were moments when i felt as though i could almost slip away,

But the intense pain would always wrench me back to my senses before i could follow through. I would've welcomed even a momentary loss of consciousness with open arms but any sort of respite was plainly denied me,

The only possible escape was death, and death was certainly at hand but it was taking an eternity to reach me. "I want you to feel every agonising second of your death Byakuya" a malicious voice whispered in my ear running a knife against my cheek. I felt like a shellfish removed from its shell - I knew my fate but only the chef could make the end come ... and he was savouring my torment. He started to laugh again running something smooth and cold against my arm and when he brought it up to my eyes I could see it was a pair of scissors, He stood over me one eye staring intently into mine "Look what you did to my eye Byakuya!" He hissed, Then he smiled like a Cheshire cat crouching down snapping the scissors "You know what they say? ... An eye for an eye" He finished bursting into another fit of laughter.

He brought the scissors to my left eye, I wanted to scream and shout and plead and beg but no matter what no messages would reach my brain, and the result was unbearable.

He stabbed me in the eye an indeterminate number of times, until my eyeball became nothing more than a soup like in consistency. And he left me there bleeding to death in horrible agony. "I am a very tenacious person Byakuya very lucky for you indeed!" Ayukayb murmured. He walked away from me laughing, until suddenly he stopped laughing. Strangely he started screaming until i heard a disgusting cracking noise and a body thump to the ground.

I was left there in silence, Time slowly ticking by "Byakuya? Byakuya where are you!" A voice cried out to me, I immediately recognised the female voice and heard many footsteps pounding towards me, "OH MY GOD!" another female cried, throwing herself down at my side "Nee~Sama! please wake up, don't die!" Rukia cried kneeling over me, Next to her was Ichigo and Renji - but something seemed off, They weren't Enemy anymore they were back to normal and Standing over my head was ... Hisana.

I was completely immobilised and looked dead to any other person, I couldn't answer their pleads to speak to them or wake up all i could do was stare into Hisana's eyes an empty hole trying to stare into hers. My eye paralyzed in shock. Eventually they stood up "He's ... D-D" Rukia couldn't finish her sentence. Slowly I moved my lips "R...r...r...u..." I tried to say her name "H...h..." I couldn't say anything and my words were barely audible, but Rukia heard them and she slowly turned around to face me, "Ne-" She started to say but was cut off by my agonizing screeches of pain, all the screams i had been holding in, all the moments i felt myself turning delirious came out, I couldn't stop no matter how hard i tried. Ichigo and Renji ran to my side while Hisana took away Rukia who was sobbing into her shoulder "Captain whats wrong!" Renji shouted trying to find a way to stop me from screaming. Ichigo looked away into the distance something on his mind "Renji... All the pain and suffering he has endured... he has never been able to scream... so he's letting it out now" Ichigo whispered trying not to look at me. I was writhing on the ground in pain, Screaming curses and words unimaginable to think i would ever use "LET ME DIEE" I screamed clutching my eye in horror.

After all it proved to be too much for me as i fainted that moment of unconsciousness finally welcoming me into its arms gratefully.
