Notes: English is not my native tongue. Please tell me about my mistakes!
And I'm not good at writing about Bleach.
"Ankoku no Tenshi" should mean "Angel of Darkness" or something like that.
The Quincy and the Angel.
- Ankoku no Tenshi -
I would like it to be real.
I'd like to mould my thoughts, to give them a shape, a form, a meaning.
But I cannot.
It's sad, it's strange, it's difficult, it's…impossible?
How did I fall in love with her?
Or rather, when did I fall in love with her?
Was it when she chose to almost get killed, just to kill me along with her?
Was it when her heartless "father" kicked her, making her soft rosy lips part and get tainted with blood?
I don't know.
But I'll never forget her.
Even if I know I won't be able to meet her deep, black eyes again.
I'll never fail to remember her smile, her soft voice whispering tender words to the most awful man.
I'll never fail to remember the way she helped me out.
Never.
My Quincy pride certainly would not allow me to.
Because she was able to look beyond the surface, to catch the slightest hint of kindness even in the dirtiest heart, the darkest night, the saddest mercilessness.
Because she was an Angel.
And even if her wings had been broken and torn and cut and scratched and burnt, she didn't mind.
Because Angels don't care about pain, soreness, sorrow.
They just smile and stretch out their hand to you, healing their wound with the blissful balsam of
your deepest wonder and your purest gratefulness.
Because even if they're trapped on earth, Angels never lose the will to fly.
And you could see in Kurotsuchi Nemu's eyes, she felt like flying again.
