Chapter Three: The Man In The Black Kimono
Sosuke could do nothing but stare. Stare down at the body before him. The body that was his own. His feet seemed to be attached to the ground, preventing him from even falling backwards in shock. Finally, he was able to move slightly. He took a couple small steps backwards from his body. A thousand thoughts ran through his head at once. His brain felt as if it would melt.
"Strange isn't it?" The voice suddenly echoing from behind the olive eyed teenager startled him out of his wits. He spun around on his heels to face the source of the voice. Standing before him was a man, about the same height as him, with blonde hair that went beyond his shoulders down to his mid-back. He wore a small smirk on his face and a black kimono on his body. A sheathed sword was tied to the sash around his waist.
"Seeing yourself lying on the ground before you... It messes with your head", the man spoke softly. He had an odd accent that Sosuke was not familiar with. The blonde haired man drew the sword at his waist and held it firmly in his hand. Sosuke, convinced he was about to be attacked, quickly got into a battle stance and narrowed his eyes.
"Relax", the man said, "I ain't gonna hurt you", as he spoke he lifted his sword, the bottom of the handle facing its target, "You're headed to the soul soceity. And its my job to get you there." The olive eyes widened as the sword handle was thrust forward, pushing the almond locks away from his forehead and making contact.
"Don't be afraid. You're headed to a better place." The man spoke softly as he drew his sword back. A strange sensation swept over Aizen. He felt suddenly warm, as if he was covered in a soft blanket. His eyes closed involuntarily as the young man lost control of his movements. He felt himself sinking, as if he was drowning. He did not panic, however. He felt safe and comfortable, but at the same time he couldn't help but wonder where exactly he was going
But that curiosity faded fast. Along with everything else. Sosuke's memories slipped away from him one by one. His family. His home. The rumors. The pain brought to him by his brothers. His neglectful father. The slaughter of his family. The spree of killing that had followed that. The arrow that had killed him. Soon, the only memory he had was that of the blonde man. And the words he spoke.
"A better place…"
A soft noise stirred the almond haired boy from his slumber. His olive green eyes flickered open and began scanning the area. The boy was laying in a grassy field. Surrounded by trees. He pulls himself upright, balancing his weight on one hand. Looking around, the scenery was beautiful. The sun shone up above. Small butterflies danced around a patch of pink flowers. And the grass was lush and green. However, the boy did not know this place. At least, he didn't think he did. Honestly, he didn't really know. He didn't seem to be able to remember anything.
Looking down at himself, the boy saw his body was covered by a white yukata. he never remembered putting this yukata on. But he obviously had. How did he end up here? He didn't have the slightest clue. Standing up, the young man became instantly dizzy and leaned on a tree for support. He blinked a few times to get rid of the blotched invading his vision.
"Hey you!" The voice suddenly calling startled the boy so badly he fell over. Scrambling to his feet and leaning on the tree again, he saw a boy, not much older than him, running towards him. The boy had white hair that stood up in small spikes on the top of his head. His eyes were abnormally large and teal. The brown haired young man was sure he didn't know the boy. Or maybe he did.
The white haired boy stopped directly in front of him. "Do you know how i got here?" The olive eyes blinked twice before his head shook.
"Oh…" The white haired boy said in a disappointed tone. "Well", he continued, perking up a bit, "My name is Sukia Hitsugaya. Who are you?"
The boy thought for a bit before replying, "Sosuke….Aizen."
