Chapter up, and I REALLY need to start rewriting... I've caught up with all my chapters now and may be lagging for the next one! Enjoy!
xXmegachompXx; Oh thx 4 that ^^ Im not mad at all, I dont speak japanese and my english spelling is just as bad anyway so thankyou, I'll sort it out for further chapters.
Abby; I know he's my 2nd fav too! And you find what I did funny? 0.o that was unintentional but thanks.
'This couldn't be happening. After everything we had been though, after everything we have done, I have ruined it all.' The message played over and over in my mind;
"Kuchiki taicho, Lily-chan's blood level has lowered to a fatal state, she is in a coma. We are unsure as to when she will awaken, or if she will survive. However, it is best for you to return to your duties, and we will inform you instantly if anything changes." I headed straight to central 46, after what Ichimaru told me, I needed to know if he was not lying.
"Kuchiki taicho, you understand the rules: No unauthorised personal or 'outsiders' are alloud to enter the jail. Sosuke Aizen is still inside, serving his 20 000 year sentance. We have over 3000 guards making sure he does not escape, all who are armed and ready. For saftey reasons, you are forbidden to enter."
"All I am asking is for someone to check-"
"No! He is locked up and will not be escaping! Now leave!" Arguing was not an option. I turned and left. 'I need to make sure April is safe. I know where I can find Ichimaru, he can inform me more detail.'
Making sure I wasn't seen by anyone, I carefully snuck around until I was outside the gotei 13. I wasn't going to give in to those idiots in 46, Lily's life was far more important. I headed straight for my destination, the small hut in the forest. I knew about her life in the Yukitachi mansion, I knew about her life in the Kuchiki manor, but I was not told anything about this hut. I only knew about this place when I asked Ukitake taicho once years ago. As I turned around the trees, I found the small river. Following it, the forest became deeper, and darker, but I could sence that it was the right direction. Finally, I found it. The wooden hut was burnt around some edges, and moss grew all over it. I walked slowly up the front stairs, one of them snapped under my feet. As I pulled my leg out of the broken gap, a rat also fled out. Still I continued to the front door. The hinges were broken so the door only needed a gentle push. It creaked horribly and the darkness was over whelming. The cramped room contained a futon, a wardrobe, a mini fridge, an oven and a table with two chairs. This was definatly not a place for a child to live, let alone a noble. I stepped inside. Going straight to the futon, I noticed different items scattered on the floor, mainly food; dried persimmon. I had never known Lily to have a love of food, and by the amount here, it was definatly for two or more people. Inside the wardrobe was no clothes, but more objects; drawings, books and blankets. I could tell instently that Lily had drawn these pictures, because, unlike myself or Rukia, she had a natural talent for drawing. Each were different, each held a different emotion. One showed a lonely child, with no colour, just black and white. Another, two young girls and a young boy, all holding hands and brightly coloured in. 'These two girls are Lily and Matsumoto. The boy must be Ichimaru.' The books only held notes of each day that was spent in that hut. Survival tips found out by herself mostly, like how to build a fire or how to rebuild any holes in the hut. Also, she kept saying that she heard different voices in her dreams, a woman calling through flames. 'That must of been when she first heard Fenikkusu, why did she never tell me about it?' This was how the burn marks got to the hut, luckily enough, not enough fire to burn it down. I placed the items back.
"Kuchiki taicho?" I did not need to turn around to know who was calling my name, "What are you doing here?"
"Matsumoto fukitaicho. I am here for my own buisness. I return the question as to why you are here."
"I'm sorry about what I've done. The last person I would ever want to hurt was April. Please forgive me, I was drunk. I know how much distress I could of caused because of my foolish actions." I heard her muffle her cries. When I did turn around, I noticed black marks falling down below her swollen red eyes.
"This is not something I can forgive. Because of your actions, drinking whilst on duty, she is now in a coma, with such a low blood level, she can die." Her eyes widened in shock, obviously she didn't know about that part.
"It's all my fault! I'm so sorry, Kuchiki taicho. I was only drinking because I thought I saw Ichimaru Gin again, it brought back so many painful memories." 'I have never seen her like this, somehow, it reminds me of April. She blames herself for the things she can't control.'
"You knew Ichimaru for a long time, it must of been hard to watch him die." 'This is why he kept himself hidden, to stop Matsumoto from going through more torchure of the heart. Perhaps this is the same reason April didn't come back until 100 years had past. She kept away to help me heal.'
"You know, after I found April, Gin found me. Me and Gin lived together in a warehouse and April stayed here. We used to visit her every day." 'So, Ichimaru did know April before I did.'
"What was April like with Ichimaru?"
"She didn't trust him much, but she and him stayed together alot of the time. When Gin didn't return to the warehouse, I usually found him here." She looked around the hut with a sorrowful smile, "I wish I could see him again." I walked up to her. She was taken back by me, I knew she was quite afraid of my coldness, but I had known her better for the last few months April had returned. I placed my hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sure whatever he did, he did to keep you safe." I walked past her and went to the river. She followed me as I knelt down by the rushing water. 'Matsumoto is going through the same faze I did, but even I can't tell her anything that will help her get through it.'
"Kuchiki taicho?" I turned my head to show I was listening. She sat down beside me, "I don't mean it in a bad way, but how come you've changed so much since April returned?" I did know that I had become less cold and more emotional, but I did not know why.
"I am not sure. I guess it made it easier to be able to talk to someone I had once been so close to, everyone else I was close to had died, such as my grand-father, and my wife." She stayed silent after that, trying to control her emotions once again, "Perhaps that, if Gin was still alive, he is trying to help you by staying away. If anything was to happen to him, at least you will not have to suffer." She thought about the words for a while, going through all the possibilities.
"Thank you, taicho." Matsumoto got up and left, leaving me dwelling in my own thoughts. 'If only I had realised that myself, I would not have turned so stubborn.'
"Realise this, Ichimaru, I only said those things to help her. No woman should go through their lives in the past." He shunpo-ed to the other side of the river.
"Aw, how did you know I would be here?" I didn't answer, I just got up and faced him.
"I need answers. I can not protect April if I do not know everything." His grin dropped again.
"Well, all I know is what I've told you."
"Has Aizen already broken out of prison?"
"Hai, the central 46 guards are dead, but central 46 does not know yet."
"And how do you know of this?"
"I wanted to get my revenge on Aizen, but after all that trouble of breaking in, I found that everyone was dead, and the cell door had been destroyed. There is no doubt he is gone."
"How do you know he is after April?" He paused for a long time as his grin returned, almost to cause suspension.
"Because Aizen is the man Lily is betrothed to."
My eyes fluttered open, showing me in the small room I have spent most of my time in. My memories flooded back to me as I stretched. I frowned as the last memory returned to me. 'Why was Byakuya kissing Rangiku? I shouldn't of slapped him, I'm sure he had a reason, if not, then I still didn't need to do that.'
"You're awake." I held my breath. That voice. It can't be!
"S-Sensei Sosuke?" My heart jumped terribly, please say it wasn't so!
"No." 'Thank god!'
"Then who are you?" I checked around the room, noticing a man step out of the shadows. My breathing became laboured, the heart monitor showed my heart begin to race.
"N-no! Please you-you can't be! A-Aizen Sosuke? Sensei's son?" He gave a small bow and walked up to my bed, "You're-you're not here! You're in jail, I must be dreaming, a nightmare!" He lent close to my face, his steaming breath inches away from my lips.
"This is not a dream. I am here, and I'm sure you know why." He whispered.
"To avenge your father, for what I did." I whispered back. My eyes never left his as he edged towards me further.
"No, I never had anything to do with my father, I don't care that he is in jail, I care more about what he did to you."
"Why do you care about me?" His brought his lips even closer.
"Why shouldn't I care about my fiancé?" He pressed his lips deep onto mine, using his hands to keep me from pulling away. I felt physically sick, and confused. 'Fiancé?' Once he removed himself, he unhooked me from the monitors.
"I am not your fiancé!"
"Oh, but you are, Lily, don't you remember? The day my father and yours decided that we are to be wed, the day we became betrothed." His smirk held devilishness on his face.
"You are my betrothal?"
"I am, my beauty. Finally we meet, and I must say, my father certainly chose a very beautiful young lady." I felt intoxicated to this man. I hated him, and what he had done, so why can I not move against him? Why am I letting him take control of my body? He gently grabbed my hand and pulled me up. I was slowly forced over his shoulder as I completely lost all movement in my limbs. He open a portal and entered, leaving no trace of himself behind, or me.
A place unknown
"Aizen-sama, we have lost Rukia and Byakuya, however, Unohana is recovering." Jushiro reported.
"Good. Go tell everyone that no one is to leave, I need all of the ones left in order to go forth with my plan."
"Hai." He shunpo-ed away as Aizen turned to me. I sat glumly on the floor. A chain was kept around my neck like an abandoned dog. I was forced to wear a black dress, one that exposed all my clevedge, and was tight around my curves. The hem of the dress fell down to not even a third of my thigh.
"We will create a new world under our rule, together. With your power and strength, we will be unstoppable." He turned his gaze to my unfazed body, "What is it? If you follow me, you can have everything your heart desires, and you are not happy?" I didn't respond, I didn't even look at him. But I heard him fast-pace to me, a strong hand slithered to my neck.
"Do not ignore me." He sternly remarked. Still I did not move. This led to a massive red mark on my face. My eyes remained dull, my life was back with Byakuya. My body was thrown away like a rag doll.
"Answer me!"
"I have nothing to be happy, nor unhappy about. There is only one thing my heart desires, and you are not the one who is able to give it to me." A disgusting scowl praised his horrible face. Another slap was thrown across my face and I was thrown again onto the bed.
"This will make you happy." He whispered seductively in my ear, "There is no reason to fight back." He grabbed my wrists and sat on top of me. I snapped back to reality as his sickly smirk reached his face. 'What am I doing?'
"Get off of me!" I screamed. My arms and legs moved ferociously around, prying him off. His face turned sour as he punched me on the cheek. Quickly, I threw him on the floor and fled to the exit, only to be jerked back by my leash.
"Disobedient girls should be punished!" He lingered over me as I desperately tried to undo the chain. My ribs instantly cracked under his foot as it pounded at my side. He ripped both our clothes and locked me onto four chains on the bed, one for each limb. I was bounded to the bed. 'I'm sorry Byakuya, I'm sorry for everything I've done.' All my thoughts of home were out of reach.
"APRIL!" I ran as fast as I could to the Yukitachi mansion. 'Please say your okay!', "April! Where are you?" She wasn't in fourth squad, sixth squad, twelth, third or first. She wasn't at the hut or in my manor. 'Please no, I'm sorry April, please be okay...'
Was there a reason I did this? Yes, because I wanted to. Aizen seems quite OOC and I am sorry about that, but I can't seem to get his character right. Please bare with me and review!
