3 rain,(Hitusgayalover12)
There was this one tree that stood in the middle of the practice field of the academy. I always went there to think, to set my mind straight. There were a lot of things that I thought of when I sat in that tree. I came from the 77th district of the rukongai which was one of the poorest. I had no family whatsoever. I never knew them or what happened to them, but I was left alone in the streets all my childhood. I was like Renji and Rukia, but I didn't have friends to cope with my situation like they did. I lived in hunger, pain and loneliness. I lived alone and I only looked out for myself. I tried my best to survive. Well my best was all that I needed to survive. Everything was a test of survival and everything was difficult. But things got better after he came along, Captain Ukitake.
I was sitting on the porch of a house when the owner chased me off. Of course that was typical when they saw a street kid like me. Pissed off, I picked up a rock to throw at the window but somebody's hand stopped my arm from throwing it.
"Come on now there isn't any need for that. Put the rock down."Uktiake said. I knew who he was so I did as he said and I threw the rock down. "You know by the muscles I touched in your hand I can tell your pretty strong for a someone as small as you."
"I'm not little! I'm almost as tall as Captain Hitsugaya of squad 10!"I screamed at him. I hate when people call me short.
"Well no offense to Captain Hitsugaya but he is kinda short."He said with a smile. I had to smile to.
"Shouldn't you be in the Court of Pure Souls doing some shinigami stuff. I bet more you have important stuff to do then talking to a simple street kid."I put my head down in shame. It was true. He stroked the back of my head and knelt down.
" I am doing shinigami stuff, but I noticed I sensed spiritual pressure coming from somebody. So I came to investigate. And what do you know that person is you."He explained. My eyes widened at the sentence he just spoke. It was as if he was lying to my face.
"If your gonna lie to me make it a good lie."I crossed my arms at my chest. I'm smart enough to know that I'm not capable of spiritual pressure.
"I'm not lying. I sware I can feel it."He pleaded once more. " Have you ever considered becoming a shinigami?"
"No. Why would I? I'm not capable of anything you can do like kido or wielding a zanpacto."
"Well you never know unless you try." His smile convinced me. Later that day he told me I was to start my freshmen year in the fall. A few days before that Aizen betrayed us. Everything after that fell into place. I trained myself so hard. Sometimes I had to force myself to get out of bed even though the pain was unbearable. I trained myself to death to get where I am today. But even when I got this badge I knew this journey was far from over.
I stared out at the scenery that was laid out in front of me. The pond water was clear and the trees were covered with freshly bloomed sakura. It was so peaceful till he came along.
"Hey Karidi!" yelled my old squad member from the academy Tadashi Hiroshi. He was currently a 6th seat in squad 6.
"Don't you know how to leave me alone!" I yelled back at him.
"Nope, because you are just so memorizing I couldn't dare to stay away from you. It would be like ripping my heart out and feeding it to the Gods of pain." I hate when he says stupid jokes like that. They sound so cheesy.
"Don't make me hurt you." I waved a fist in his face. Me and Tadashi have been friends for 4 years, but it felt like we have been friends our whole lives. No matter what he has had my back through everything. Especially when I was in trouble.
"So how did it go?" He asked curiously.
"Not so good. Tadashi I don't know maybe I'm just not cut out for this job like we said I was. Maybe I'm not good enough to be his lieutenant."
"Are you kidding me?! Your one of the best soul reapers I have ever seen!!" His voice sounded as if he was a little boy watching the fireworks blow up and change colors in the night sky.
"Your just saying that cause it's me." I said and put my chin in my palms. I was so depressed.
"Oh come on. Don't give me the sad face. Your gonna hurt my feelings if you do." He gave me his puppy dog eye. That got me every time. I smiled at him.
"Now that's better. Well I gotta head off before Captain Kuchiki has a heart attack because I'm late." He slid down the tree and began to walk away.
"Hey Tadashi!" I called after him. The corner of his eye caught me and I smiled. "Thanks." He nodded and took off. No one could ever replace Tadashi. He was my best friend and no one in the living world, our world, or any other worlds that we didn't know of could change that.
