This movie has so many memorable parts, it's so hard to keep track of how many!! This is also one of my favorite parts of the movie and it's mostly because of the sad music the band was playing. Sorry if it has been some time since I last uploaded this story. School's been getting in the way plus it's almost the summer. I'm always busy!!!
Till the End
Rukia and Ichigo ran through the first class interior of the ship. They ran through a door leading into the smoking room and were about to run right through until Rukia suddenly stopped.
"Wait, wait, wait", Rukia asked and Ichigo complied. "Kyoraku-san??" Rukia asked in confusion as Shunsui looked at her, dazed. He was originally looking at a small clock that was just over the fireplace.
"Oh…Rukia…" Shunsui said with his voice mystic and almost lifeless.
"Won't you make a try for it?" Rukia asked with her voice almost pleading.
Shunsui sighed and looked down on himself in shame. "I'm sorry", he softly said. "I couldn't build a stronger ship for you, Rukia."
A loud creak was heard throughout the interior of the ship, a not that Ichigo quickly took of. "It's going fast", Ichigo said and lightly grabbed Rukia's hand. She let him take her hand, but her body didn't move from where it was standing. "We have to move-"
"Wait", Shunsui said and stopped the two from moving. He reached down to his side and grabbed his life jacket. With his hands trembling a little, Shunsui offered his life jacket to Rukia. "Good luck to you both", He softly said.
Rukia gently took the life jacket out of Shunsui's hands. "And to you", Rukia said with tears in her eyes. She ran up to Shunsui and hugged him tightly. Once she let go, Rukia rejoined with Ichigo and left.
Ichigo looked back at Shunsui when he hesitated to go through the revolving doors, but Shunsui nodded his head to urge Ichigo to go and leave him. "Thank you", Ichigo quietly whispered to Shunsui and he ran after Rukia.
Shunsui sadly smiled, knowing that he done some good from the bad he created. He turned his head back to the clock just above the fireplace and locked eyes with the hands of the clock.
Meanwhile…
A steward with his arms full of life jackets rushed through the grand staircase. "Hirako-san!!" He asked and approached Shinji Hirako. "Please put this on, Hirako-san."
Shinji held out his hand to stop the steward. "No thanks, we are dressed for our best and we're prepared to go down as gentlemen", he told the steward with dignity and confidence in his voice. Shinji continued his way down the grand staircase when something struck him. "But we would like a brandy!!" He shouted at the steward.
Hitsugaya suddenly appeared right back at the grand staircase while dragging the lifeless Naori behind him. Clearly he went in a big circle. The panic and frenzy of the ship was starting to get to him and he couldn't tell which way was out. Calm down, Hitsugaya thought and took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He calmly looked around, trying to find an exit out of the grand staircase, but his mind was still so juggled that he couldn't tell his right from left anymore.
Shit! I shouldn't have blown my brains out at Naori, he thought to himself and dazedly continued surveying the room for an exit. He suddenly turned to Naori and he saw that the dazed girl was staring off at a distance and was paying no attention to the panic around her. Her eyes were locked onto one part of the ship and she didn't even say anything to Hitsugaya. (A/N: Gosh Hitsugaya! You scared my OC to her wits and now she's a mute zombie!! Good going!)
Hitsugaya looked at what Naori was gazing at and there on the next level above the grand staircase was a half-open door leading out to the deck. Duh, Hitsugaya stupidly thought to himself and he grabbed Naori again. She followed him up the staircase and out the door without giving a single restraint or pull. She just mindlessly followed the white hair boy in front of her without a second thought.
They ran into the deck and ran up the incline while dodging the many running passengers that were running the same direction. They didn't know that they were on the upper decks instead of the main deck, but they went with the crowd like a leaf flowing with the river.
Meanwhile…
The rushing yells of the officers and the passengers filled the air. Many officers were working as hard as they can and people were running around to find another lifeboat. Though they all knew everything would be in vain, it couldn't hurt to just try.
The dazed captain of Titanic walked mindlessly around the deck of the ship, surveying everything that was happening. Water was already filling up the deck and it'll be minutes for Titanic to go under. He sadly sighed to himself thinking how this was the last ship he would sail before retirement. His thoughts were suddenly interrupted.
"Capitan, where should I go?" A French woman asked as she clutched onto her baby even more. "Please"
The captain stared dazedly at the woman in silence and he sadly ignored her. He headed away from the woman and to another part of the ship. He was another lifeless body just like Naori.
"Captain!! Captain sir!!" An officer yelled out and offered a life jacket. The captain ignored him as well and continued his way.
He walked into the control room, which was already filled with water. He looked around at the quiet scene before him and entered the captain's quarters and he quietly locked the door behind him. He sighed of deep sadness and stroked his beard that was braided with purple lace.
Well old Yamamoto, he thought to himself. This is it…
Outside in the decks, the band finished another cheery song like instructed. (A/N: How can you still play when the boat is sinking??!) They stopped playing and glanced at one another. Each musician slowly lowered their bows as they surveyed the chaos around them.
"Right. That's it", the head violinist said.
Everyone in the band nodded too. "Right", one said and he hugged his band mates. "Goodbye Wally and good luck."
"You too", Wally said and bid his mates goodbye. He looked around in fear and sadness and raised his violin again. He started playing one last song for the ship itself, Nearer My God To Thee.
His band mates heard him playing and recognized the song as well. Starting with the viola, next the cello, and finally the bass. Soon every single member of their former band joined in for their final song on Titanic.
The music from this orchestra had played sweet through the entire panicking ship. The mellow sound of their song narrated what was happening with the souls that knew they were going to go down too.
Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai looked around the abandoned control room with sadness everywhere in him. He gently placed his hands on the steering wheel and looked at himself. He blamed the fact that if he heeded the warnings, then the ship wouldn't have to go down like this.
Shunsui Kyoraku continued looking at the clock right above the fireplace. The ship was tipping more and more and cups of brandy were falling out of their positions. He sighed at himself in disgrace, thinking of what he built was killing many souls. The ship was near its death. He took out his pocket watch to check the time and arranged the frozen clock before him to change it's time. The time is 2:10 at the moment.
Water was filling up the passengers room fast. An old couple slept peacefully in their bed as the water rushed into their room. They didn't mind as they held lovingly onto one another. The old man hugged his wife closer to him and gently kissed her in the cheek.
The music the orchestra played sounded nothing more than a lullaby for an Irish mother and her two kids. She safely tucked them away in a cozy bed and told them a peaceful story. "And so they lived happily ever after for 300 years in the land of Tir Na Nog with eternal youth and beauty", she softly told her children. The two boys smiled and they quickly drifted to sleep as their mother smiled on at them, knowing it was for the best.
In Rukia's sunken room, her beautiful paintings that were made by Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso drifted into the water. (A/N: Seriously that's his name) The paintings were already protected so the water couldn't get in. Those paintings were only the things that weren't ruined by the frigid, freezing waters
The band continued playing on and on.
The entire front of the ship had sunken, with terrified people rushing away. They ran as fast as they could up to the stern, yet the water was faster. Renji was scared as he saw they approaching waters. He solemnly looked back at his fallen friend and finally let go, after taking the life belt Urahara had on. He frantically placed his life belt on and he ran to one of the lifeboats.
Uryu looked around him, terrified by what was happening. They didn't have enough time left and the waters were already near their still unlowered boat. The child he had on had ceased her screaming and was clutching onto Uryu with fear. All around them, screams were heard to cut the ropes and that they didn't have pulled out his pocket knife and he started slashing through a bunch of rope.
The dangerous waters rapidly filled up the grand staircase and many passengers frantically ran away from it as fast as possible. Shinji only remained on his chair while calmly sipping on a glass of brandy.
The ship was going down even faster. The officers finally managed to get all of the lifeboats set free. Most of them were filled, but not enough to the drowning passengers in the water. People ran away from the approching waters that were gaining on the playing orchestra. The band slowly hit the last notes of the song and looked on at the panic that was all around them and the rapidly increasing water.
"Gentlemen…" Wally stated. "It has been a privelege playing with you tonight."
No thoughts, just review!!!
