Peace.
Such a small word, with so much meaning.
But in truth, it's just empty.
We never should have believed there would be any peace.
Shouldn't have shown ourselves so openly.
Now, I know better.
Now after I lost everything.
Again.
It wasn't so long after we defeated my Father, welcomed Rukia in our Family and accompanied her to her wedding with Ulquiorra.
Everything was great, quiet, peaceful.
But the storm was coming, slowly, silently, like a rising tide.
V.A.S.T. was everywhere, we came without being called, like the FBI.
No one knew what we did, where we got our information or the authority to take special cases from the normal Police.
Of course the officers started questioning their chiefs, and they the higher ups, up to the government.
But even them knew only the least they had to.
So some genius in the USA picked someone from the street, who had been involved some time prior.
How I loathe these idiots.
Every cop knows what happens to a junkie when they don't get their dope.
Just, that guy was worse than a human junkie.
He was a Vampire, class Insane, stage 2.
You won't starve these guys longer than 2 days, when you know.
Since they didn't, they made the biggest mistake, ever.
Word spread like wildfire.
Everywhere they sought us, hunted us down like livestock.
Even normal people who lived with us were killed.
So the witch-hunt was re-invented.
They found our blood banks, well not all yet.
Our homes, bars, meeting places, everything where our life went on.
Even the V.A.S.T. offices were run over.
The Tower...even that is but a ruin.
We fought as long as we could, but the councils broke apart, everyone is on his own.
Ichigo always was at the front lines, no bullet could harm him with his incredibly evolved healing abilities.
But they found our weakness, holy water.
Of course I didn't think it would work on my beloved, since he's still half a child of Gabriel, but I was wrong.
He got struck by one of these bullets, after he had to see how his daughter and her husband got executed.
It didn't kill him, but since then he's in a deep sleep.
I try to cleanse his blood each and every day, but it won't change at all.
Very soon after that, they sniffed out our home.
Ichigo and me weren't there, I brought him to a safer place and were at his side that day.
When I got back, the last I saw was Grimmjow in rage, who teared up a lot of the humans.
In the End they shot him down.
Next to his corpse, lay the other two, Shinji and Stark.
I don't know what happened next, but when I came to I was the last one standing in a pool of blood.
No one of my clan survived, only Ichigo is still there and as much as I want him to wake up, as much I hope he never will.
History never changes, only our weapons do.
So we repeat the old fight once again.
As long as I last, I will protect Ichigo from them.
Maybe he'll save us once and for all.
Maybe it's already to late, and we are the last ones of our race.
But as long as I am the last one standing, it's not over.
For my Ichigo, it's me against the world.
I am

War
