Simple Desires: The Beginning
The Dark Hours
"Aniki said that you were killed, when we were living in district 80, by some bandits. You weren't consumed by this hollow so why? Why is he able to steal your soul bodies?!" I screamed not expecting an answer from them.
"How can a hollow not eat 2 souls near death?" the hollow asked in a sickening tone. "They were truly tasty ones too. Too bad they were already too dead to convert into hollows," the hollow cackled before putting on a more serious tone.
"Why did you interfere? I was sure I had killed you with all those wounds you've received. I was almost done eating him too. You would have been next. I promise to give you a turn once I'm done. Although, it seems like you're quite eager to die considering how you drew all of my attention to you all at once," the hollow laughed again.
His so call laugh sounded like a thousand screeching birds.
A groan erupted from aniki. "Hold on, aniki," I whispered.
I glared at the hollow.
"You bastard!" I yelled at him.
"Heed upon wintry wishes, Hatsuyuki!" I shouted out.
For the first time today(and in this story), Hatsuyuki took upon her shikai form.
The dull colored blade changed in to brilliant and lustrous silver with a thin coat of frost. The hilt became clear ice and the cloth around it changed into a pure and brilliant white. The cloth twisted around the hilt to form diamond cut out patterns showing the solid ice hilt. The guard transformed as well, to obtain a hexagonal shape with everything cut out except the outside rim and the pattern of a snowflake. A white tassel with silvery streaks hung from the end of the hilt. The ice in my zanpakuto was 5 times stronger than regular steel. Immediately, a blade of ice flew out at its target, the hollow. The hollow quickly dodged and jumped away.
"Oops, too many shinigami are approaching, the barrier's going to be broken. Sorry, I can't play," he said while disappearing into the distance.
"What barrier? Hollows can't put up- Hey! Get your filthy ass back here!" I yelled running forward as the hollow retreated.
Suddenly, a figure was dropped in front of me.
I recognized the fiery red hair immediately.
"Aniki?" I whispered unsure of myself.
I looked from his body, to the figure before me.
The aniki before me's eyes shown brightly.
"My dear little sister, I'm sorry for scaring you," the one before me said softly.
I stared and stared.
I wanted to reach out and hug him but before I could do that, he was lurched upwards.
There was an insane cackle and the body before me was reeled towards the hollow. "It's a true masterpiece," the hollow said.
"You stole the light in his eyes," I whispered.
I had become frightened again.
Frightened that I had no one to hold on to.
Frightened about knowing that the hollow had a large enough piece of aniki's soul to create such a precise and accurate body.
Frightened that I had failed to protect my only family.
"Correct, let's meet again someday little one," he said fully disappearing.
I just stood there.
I felt like the hollow had carried away a part of my soul along with my aniki's.
Aniki's eyes would never again light up,
And it was all my fault.
My zanpakuto fell from my hand and reverted back to its sealed form. I fell to my knees slowly next to my aniki as the clouds over head began to drop their bearings slowly.
"Aniki, aniki, hold on, I beg of you," I whispered reaching for his hand.
My chest tightened painfully as I felt how cold they were.
I whispered my vow to my brother as he lie unconscious in the grass.
