Love for the Lost and Broken
Hello again!
Chapter three is here!
"…"-Speaking '…'-Thoughts (…)-Extra Info *- Other Random Stuff
Thanks to Grimm-Inuoka004- I'm feeling a lot better now; although my nose is still stopped up a bit. But your message was nice to read! Thank-you much!
Okay; so I decided to go into the past a little bit and write some flashbacks about how Muramasa came to live with Masutātorikkusutā and Kaien. (Remember Gin and Tousen are not there yet.) The flashbacks will always be there own chapter but will hopefully be shorter than a whole chapter.Okay… so I said that the third chapter would be about the trip to Japan. Well I lied! (Not really lying though…) The truth is that I'm going on a trip for a whole week… WITH NO COMPUTER! (AHHH I'm gonna die!) So I didn't have time to finish the chapter I had planned on writing… so I decided to write a shorter flashback chapter. It won't be the only one but this is to tide the readers over until I get home to write the next full chapter. Sorry about the wait you guys! (Note… if you really, really, really don't want to read this or any other flashbacks you don't have to. But if you want to just click the 'next' button at the bottom of the chapter page. (Come on you know you want to.)
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the storyline, my OC, and my OC's Zanpakuto and its powers. Everything else is Tite Kubo's.
Chapter starts…NOW! (Or at least the flashback does :p)
Flashback: 2 years ago (Masutātorikkusutā's POV)
"You worry too much about nothing at all Kusutā."
"It is the duty of the Soul Reaper to destroy the hollows Kyōfu."
"I am aware of that master but you yourself said that the odd reiatsu you sensed was not that of a hollow."
"Yes I did say that but it did have similarities so we can't be too careful."
"Agreed but; I don't sense the reiatsu anymore… in fact it seems to have disappeared altogether."
Kyōfu was correct; the strange reiatsu had disappeared a few days ago but it was weird because I had felt the same spiritual presence several times before in the hollow forests until it suddenly disappeared. So for the past few days I had come to Hueco Mundo trying to locate the origin of the oddity. However as Kyōfu had observed the reiatsu had gone and vanished altogether. Sighing in defeat I moved to open a Senkaimon1*and return to the World of the Living. But before I was able to open the portal a large pulse of reiatsu traveled through the area with such force that it shook the dead, withered trees of the Menos Forest.
"What in the world was that?" Kyōfu asked with worry.
"I don't know; but that reiatsu was the same as the one that we have been sensing for a while now."I answered grabbing Kyōfu's hilt.
"So… what shall we do master?"
"Figure not where and what it's coming from of course."I replied with a smirk as I took off in the direction the pulse of energy had originated.
"Ah yes…always running head long into the path of danger... I should expect no different."
"You know you love it Kyōfu."
"Yeah right…"
Ten minutes later had me standing in the middle of a clearing in the Menos Forest. Even though there were no trees in the way no sun came down to brighten the area up. There is no sun in Hueco Mundo after all; it was making it really hard to see if something was there or not.
"I don't see shit…"
"Me neither; perhaps the reiatsu came from somewhere else."
"Maybe…but I was sure it came from right around here."
"Hey what's that… over there against that tree?" Kyōfu asked.
Turning my head I searched for what it was that Kyōfu had seen. Soon I found it; leaning against a large tree at the edge of the clearing was a humanoid figure. I ventured closer in an attempt to get a better look at the person. It was still too dark to see clearly so I flared out my spiritual energy. The red flame appeared around me and provided enough light to see by. I was finally able to get a good look at the figure against the tree. The person's body was slumped and their head was down. Their dark brown, messy hair completely covered their face but I was certain that the person was male. His cloths looked similar to an arrancar's outfit; it was white with purple designs on it. The man's outfit also sported a collar that was made of soft-looking, greyish white fur. Slowly I pulled out my sword and began using the hilt to poke the apparently unconscious man.
"What in god's name are you doing!" Kyōfu shouted.
"Trying to see in the poor fellow's alive or not." I answered simply; was it not that obvious?
"By poking him with the hilt of your weapon?"
"Pretty much, yes."
"Ugh…You are absolutely ridiculous Kusutā." Kyōfu stated in annoyance.
I ignored Kyōfu's comment at the moment as I continued to inspect the man before me. It was then that I noticed two things I had previously overlooked during my initial observation. The first thing was that the man's entire outfit was covered with rips, snags, and smudges of dirt; it looked as though he had been in a nasty fight of some sort. The second was a large stain on the man's clothes. It was coming from a tear in his clothes just above his waist on the left side of his body. The stain was red; and it glistened in the light given off by my reiatsu. My eyes widened as I realized what it was.
"Fuck!"I found myself cursing aloud.
"What's the problem?" Kyōfu asked me quickly.
"He's hurt bad; I think he was in a fight. Judging by the injuries I'd say it was a sword that caused this puncture. He's lost a lot of blood as well." I stated as I knelt down in front of the injured man to try and help him. My actions were interrupted as Kyōfu decided to take this moment to yell straight into my ears.
'ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND!'
"What is your problem?"I yelled back.
'You can't help him!'
"Why in the name of hell not?"I asked in confusion.
'He's the enemy that's why not!'
"How do you know he is an enemy?"
'He's wearing an arrancar's uniform; of course he's the enemy!'Kyōfu continued to shout and it was starting to make my ears ring.
"Actually an arrancar's outfit is exactly like a Soul Reaper's except theirs are white not black."I stated matter-o-factly.
'It doesn't matter what he's wearing; his reiatsu is proof that he is an arrancar.'Kyōfu shoot back in agitation.
"No I said the reiatsu was similar to an arrancar's but not exactly the same." I countered Kyōfu again.
'I still say he's an arrancar.'Kyōfu insisted.
"Why is that?"
'Kusutā he's wearing the same shoes as a Gillian; he has to be some level of a hollow.'Kyōfu stated as though it was the must obvious thing in the world.
"That is true; he does have similar shoes to that of the Menos Grande's." I responded noticing the man's pointed white-grey shoes for the first time. "I don't think I would ever be able to wear such a shoe; it just looks uncomfortable."
'Kusutā…focus.'Kyōfu stated flatly.
"Yes of course…howeverGillian shoes still don't meanthat he is an arrancar or even a hollow at all."
"Well; if he isn't a hollow then what is he? "Kyōfu snapped.
"I do not know; but it may not even matter."I stated as I continued to jab the man with the hilt of Kyōfu no sakebi.
"I think that this poor guy is no longer among the living."
"Oh?"
"Yes… I do believe that his injuries got the best on him."I said as I started to make a move to stand back up.
I felt bad but if he was already dead then there was nothing I could do for him. However as I went to stand my previous belief that the man had passed on was shattered as he let out a groan and shifted slightly. He then brought his right arm up and across his waist to rest atop his bloody abdomen. At that moment I saw that the injured man had long nails; really long nails actually. They looked to by about nine inches in length; 'So odd…' I thought to myself. I was careful to avoid them; they may have been dull but it would still be no good to get clawed by them.
'So you aren't dead after all; my friend.' I thought to myself.
'So… what will you do now master?' Kyōfu questioned.
'…I'm going to help him.'I responded to Kyōfu inside of my mind as I moved to heal the strange man's serious wound before it bleed anymore.
'Very well...'Kyōfu sighed in defeat.
Without another word I began to pool my reiatsu in preparation to activate one of the few healing technique I knew. However before I could complete the process a powerful spiritual pressure crashed down on me like a ton of bricks.
"What the hell…"I wondered aloud in confusion.
I quickly realized that the dark, oppressive energy was coming from the man in front of me. His reiatsu spiked sharply; the black and red flames engulfing his body. He groaned loudly in pain; I knew something was really wrong but I didn't know what. The man continued to shift and make noises of discomfort; he was suffering greatly I could tell. It had something to do with the energy around him; the energy may have been coming from his body but it almost seemed as though the reiatsu didn't belong in the man's body at all. He leaned forward, clutching the left side of his head tautly.
"Hey what's wrong!"I asked in concern.
"Master look out!"
Everything happened in slow motion at this point… it was the oddest of things. Kyōfu called out for me to move but even I wasn't quick enough. The first thing to happen was sound; I heard it in my ears like cannon fire. The sound of tearing flesh; I mentally noted that it wasn't the same as a single slash from a sword. No; this was multiple slashes at almost exactly the same time. After sound came taste; I had opened my mouth in shock when I had heard the sickening noise. An odd warmth entered my mouth and all I tasted was the heavy twang of salt and the strong heat of the liquid. After taste was the smell; half of taste is smell after all. I could smell the sweat on my face; mixed with the overpowering scent of copper. Next was sight; the liquid flew everywhere; I saw it shoot through the air in front of my face. It splattered onto the face and clothes of the man in front of me. It flowed down his abnormally long nails onto his fingers and hand; it was shining a bright red color. Finally came the sense of touch; I clearly felt the touch of the unknown warmth flowing down my right cheek. It flowed quickly and I could tell there was a lot of it. Then the feeling get worse; the warmth of the flowing liquid was replaced with a deep, burning. It was as if someone had pressed a hot fire-poker against my face in five different places only about an inch apart from each other. It burned like wildfire and it wasn't going away anytime soon.
Using shunpo2* I moved about fifteen feet away from the injured man and immediately slammed my right hand against my right cheek. Bad idea; the pain increased as I put more pressure on it. I drew my hand away and inspected it; it was almost completely covered in a thick layer of fire-engine red… blood…my blood. I could feel it flowing down my cheek onto my neck and the top of my shirt. Great; I now I had five gouges in my face that are bleeding my out like a stuck pig*3. The man had lashed out at me with the same arm he had brought up to clutch his head with. His long nails had dug into my face from the edge of my cheek-bone just under my right eye all the way down my cheek in a diagonal slash to the bottom of my chin. The five slashes were still pouring out blood and I had no way to stop them; at this rate I could be in a lot of trouble.
"DAMN IT!"I shouted in rage and pain.
I returned my attention to the man that had attacked me; he was getting to his feet now. He was shaky and wobbly but he was able to get to his feet all the same. He then brought his other arm up and clutched the other side of his head; I was still unable to see the man's face and he continued to act as though he was in pain. The way he was gripping and shaking his head; it looked like he was fighting with something. Not a physical something but something that seemed to be inside of his head. He screamed then… his voice was deep and I could still hear the pain in that scream. I made me jump slightly it was so unexpected.
'What… what is going on with him?'I thought to myself.
He screamed again as small white particles appeared seemingly out of nowhere around his head. The particles began to compile then form and shape around the man's head. My eyes widened as I recognized what was going on. It was a hollow mask. The mask continued to form until it was completed; the mask had two long horns sticking out from the top at an angle. The bottom half of the mask seemed to have teeth from one side to the other; two of the teeth were longer than the rest and looked like fangs. Even from this far away I could see two glowing red eyes staring at me through the silted eye holes of the mask.
"I knew he was a Hollow! Kyōfu shouted in accusation.
"No Kyōfu; something still isn't right here."
"What do you mean? The proof is right there! He took a part of your face off!" Kyōfu continued to shout.
"His reiatsu still isn't that of a hollow; it is similar but not the same. I think that he somehow has Hollows inside of his body and they are causing what we are seeing now."
"You're crazy! How can someone have Hollows inside of them! It isn't even possible!" Kyōfu hollered in opposition.
"I don't get it either; but it most be possible because I'm certain that it is what is happening right in front of us."
"Impossible!"Kyōfu protected loudly.
"Apparently not…"I muttered back.
The man screamed again, louder than before; the newly formed mask distorting his voice. In an instant his neck and head snapped back at an impossible angle. His arms shook violently as they were forced away from his head and down to his side by an invisible force. The area of the man's chest where his heart was pulsated loudly. I could see the hollow hole open and close with every ominous pulse. The man hollered out again as the pulses continued and got faster.
'Shit! The Hollows are trying to take complete control of his body.'I thought as I watched the masked man lift his right arm towards his chest in a futile attempt to get the pulsing hole in his chest to stop aching.
"Well… what do we do about it now?" Kyōfu asked.
"Simple…"I answered after a moment of thinking. "I'm going to force all the Hollows out of his body."
"And just how do you plan on doing that?"
"Come on; have a little bit of faith in me!"
"I have more faith in you than anything else Master; it's the Hollows inside of that guy that I'm worried about."
"Don't worry Kyōfu; just sit back and leave it to me." I said reassuringly.
"Sit back; you mean you're gonna fight him on your own? I'm hurt…"
"Don't be… It's just that a blade is no good for a sealing kidō. And I'd hate it if my partner got hurt by accident."
"I'm glad that you are so concerned about my safely."
"Like always my friend."
"Indeed… now get ready; he is attacking!"
I returned my attention to the Hollow-possessed man just in time to see him forming a small purple sphere of energy in his hand. He aimed it at me and a barrage of small purple disks came straight towards me in an instant.
'Great… the Hollows inside of him are strong enough that he can fire a Bala*4.'I thought as I used flash step to avoid the attack.
My opponent didn't move from where he stood; his red eyes did watch me however. It felt like they were digging into my soul. I had to remove the Hollow's from his body quickly before they could take over his whole being. This of course was a lot easier said than done unfortunately. Although only the Hollow mask had formed at this point if I didn't stop the Hollow's they would continue to take control of this guy's mind. The more control they got the more like a Hollow he would become until there was no more conscious thought in his head at all; just a mindless killing machine. I would have to remove the Hollow's and destroy them quickly.
The masked man moved again; so fast that I was unable to keep up with him. Then he lunged at me; the fingers on his right hand close together like a spear flying straight for my chest… I dodged the attack with ease however. Over and over again; same attack and same dodge. I was searching desperately for an opening to restrain my attacker but he was moving so fast that is was impossible.
'Hey Kyōfu; it looks like I may need your help in this fight after all.' I said to Kyōfu inside of my mind.
'Oh…do you now? You actually mean that you need my help?'
'Come on Kyōfu don't be like that.'I complained.
'Alright then; fire away Masutātorikkusutā.'
'All right, here we go!'
In a flash I drew my Zanpakuto and pointed it at my attacker. "Ōgoe-Kyōfu no sakebi…"I spoke aloud. I didn't hear anything of course; I wasn't supposed to anyways. The noise was meant for the enemy; that was one of the many things my Zanpakuto has the power to do. A moment later the hollowfied man screamed; his voice demonically deep from the Hollows inside of him. He continued to scream as he fell to his knees and tried to cover his ears. The Hollow mask got in the way of the man's hands so he could not actually cover his ears. However; the mask didn't help to lessen the pain he was in and his long nails actually dug into the sides of the mask as he attempted to block out the noise but to no avail. I was completely deaf to the sound that was causing him so much pain. Sense it is my Zanpakuto's power and it could put me on my knees as well if I were to hear it as well. I had never heard the sound that Kyōfu was able to generate but from what he had told me I knew that the noise was different for every person and that it was extremely painful. However it gave me the opening I needed.
'Thank-you Kyōfu…'
'Don't worry about it; just finish this before he gets up.'
I did just that as I spoke the incantation for one of the many kidō spells I knew.
"Bakudō # 61: Rikujōkōrō!*5"I shouted and instantly six triangles of light formed and slammed into the kneeling man's midsection. The hollowfied man slowly recovered from Kyōfu's attack only to let out a roar of rage as he tried to move but couldn't because of my capture spell. He continued to struggle to break the bonds around his waist but he was having no success with it. A white, gooey substance began to extend from his mask and form a chest plate; small spikes formed where his heart was located and curled in as the Hollow hole that had been pulsating up til now finally formed inside the ring of spikes. The goo continued down his upper arms where it hardened and formed two large curved blades that jetted out from his arms like scythes at his elbows.
'Good… he's contained but I have to hurry; that Bakudō won't hold for too long.' I thought as I began to chant the words of the complex kidō that would hopefully remove the Hollows from the man's body.
"Black powers creep and crawl; across endless channels of loss and despair.
"Bleed dry the fighters; and nourish once again the victims.
Let the mask of the wraith be broken, reformed, and broken again.
The dark souls scream as they are cut from the wound; and destroyed by the sun.
Remove them now with the light; and cast them into the hell fire.
The wicked destroyed and the crooked vanquished for all eternity;
As the white warmth sweeps over the empty space; and purify it with acid rain."
"Bakudō # 85: Yami o kyohi *6…"
I spoke it all from memory; something that was really a pain in the ass to do. I felt the shining energy form in both my hands; two yellow spheres the size of apples. Nothing special at first glance; but this was in fact one of the few kidō spells designed specifically for removing the corrupt reiatsu of Hollows. I was really hoping this would work out; I had never had to use this technique and I wasn't completely sure if it would even work.
'No time to worry about that.' I thought as I heard the bonds around my opponents waist crack and shatter completely. I forced the two energy spheres together; they resisted for a moment but soon gave and joined into a single ball of bright energy. The hollowfied man roared again; so loud that it shook the trees around us as he charged me again. This time he aimed the large, curved blades on his elbows at my neck; trying to decapitate me. I stood still waiting for the last possible moment; I went to my knees in a flash as I heard the scrapping sound of the man's arm blades rubbing against one another as they came within inches of my neck. I sprang forward and thrust the glowing sphere in my hands straight into my attackers' chest. The ball slipped into the Hollow hole on the man's chest as I moved away and let it do its work. The sphere crackled and expanded out inside of the man's Hollow hole as he howled in pain. Then right before my eyes the kidō took effect; out of the back of the man's Hollow hole came the Hollows themselves. There was hundreds of Hollow! I had never seen so many in one place; and coming out of a person's body.
"What in the hell… how is such a thing possible?" Kyōfu asked in complete shock.
"I have no idea…" I said aloud as I watched even more Hollows flow out of their victims' body.
When all the Hollows had exited his body they were still unable to move because of the energy the kidō sphere was releasing. The mass of Hollows roared and thrashed around like mad; trying to free themselves in vain (I even saw some Gillian's in the mix; how could anyone even move with all that negative energy inside of them?). Then in a millisecond spears of light shot out from the sphere still lodged in the hole in the man's chest. Each spear hit its target; every head of the Hollows were impaled with a spear of light. The wounds didn't even bleed as the mass of Hollows slowly turned to ash and floated away. The kidō sphere expanded again; this time it completely engulfed the man it had just been inside of. I could no longer see just what was going on but I could sense it. The reiatsu of the Hollows that still resided in the man's body was being drawn out be the energy sphere. The bright yellow color of the sphere slowly darkened as the dark Hollow reiatsu was pulled from its resting place into the sphere itself. The sphere changed from bright yellow to dark yellow then on to a light brown and finally settled at a pitch black color. The pressure of the reiatsu was so heavy and dark that I was worried that the sphere would actually explode from the pressure being placed on it. Then; the sphere cracked… it was covered in deep cracks that looked like the ground out in the middle of the desert. The cracks went through the sphere completely; and slowly it disintegrated like the Hollows it had just destroyed. The sphere was gone and I could see the man again; he still looked hollowfied and I was afraid that my technique hadn't worked. I was proven wrong however as I saw his mask crack in half diagonally. The rest of his Hollow armor fell away; slamming into the ground where it broke into thousands of pieces and disappeared. His body swayed from side to side for a second and I knew he was going to drop at any moment. He fell forward then, his body finally giving out from the pressure of the Hollow reiatsu that had been inside of him. He would have smashed into the dusty earth but I used shunpo to get to him quickly and was able to support his weight and lower him to the ground where he rested on his back. He looked even more ruffed up then he was when I first approached him; I felt really sorry for him at this point.
"You should have gotten rid of him at the start." Kyōfu spoke in a low, sour tone.
"Kyōfu! What the hell!" I answered in horror at what he had said.
"He tried to kill youMasutātorikkusutā… and you're still trying to help him!"Kyōfu snapped at me again.
"The Hollows were trying to kill me; not him…so yes I'm still helping him Kyōfu." I stated evenly.
"Your stupidity never ceases to astound me Masutātorikkusutā."
"I'm not arguing with you over this."
"He is dangerous Masutātorikkusutā; you have the gashes to prove it! If you continue to help him you'll just be putting yourself at risk!"
"Kyōfu!" I had never yelled at my partner in anger before but you bet your ass I yelled at him then. He didn't speak; I had shocked him for the first time in over four hundred years of being Zanpakuto and master. I felt bad but he was judging before he actually knew; that was one of the things that I could not stand. That was one of the things that had forced us both to leave Soul Society; judging what you had no comprehension of. I continued to speak but in a much calmer voice.
"You should know better than anyone how things go when others make assumptions about something before actually giving it a chance."
"…..."
I knew Kyōfu wanted to retort with a smart comment but his silence told me that he knew I was right and he couldn't say anything against it. No normal being would help the person that had just tried to kill them; but I've never really been one for normalcy. After all the shit Kyōfu and I went through with Soul Society I changed my way of thinking a lot. So even if I should consider the now unconscious man next to me an enemy I knew in my heart I couldn't make that call so lightly. I had managed to destroy all the Hollows that had been inside of him so I saw no danger in helping him at all. If anyone in Soul Society saw what I was doing they would die on site at the fact I was helping an enemy. Some would say I had 'lost my mind' or 'was getting soft' something like that. But I had learned long ago that everything Soul Society said and did was not always the correct answer to the problem. So I was gonna help the guy no matter what; maybe I was going soft but it didn't really matter to me. I pooled my reiatsu into my right palm and placed it over the deep wound on the man's abdomen. His face contorted in pain but he remained unconscious as I worked on healing the life threatening injury. As the wound began to close up and heal the man's body and facial expressions relaxed.
"There… the wound is closed now. All he needs now is some pain killers and a lot of rest." I muttered to myself.
"I hope you know what you're doing master." Kyōfu grumbled, finally giving in to my reasoning.
"Well… I've never been one to think ahead too much."I stated offhandedly.
"So the chances that I ever actually 'know what I'm doing' are not all that great either."
"Great…"Kyōfu stated in a drawn out sarcastic voice.
I ignored my partner for the second time that day; I was way too tired to bothering coming up with a retort. The kidō spell I used was very advanced and it had sapped a large chuck of my energy. So I let the sarcastic comment go for now and instead turned my attention to the five claw-like marks on my face. They had continued to bleed heavily and I was now worried I may actually bleed to death. I already felt a bit light-headed which was not a good sign at all.
"Great… at this rate I'll end up bleeding to death for sure."I grumbled as I tried to feel the exact extent of the wounds on my face but the scorching pain the contact caused prevented me from doing so.
I was mad…no; completely pissed in all honesty. I glared at the resting man across from me for a few seconds but knew that there was no point in it so I gave up. I was sort of mad at him for slashing up the side of my face; but I knew that it wasn't really his fault so I stopped glaring at him in favor of continuing to work on getting my wounds to stop bleeding. Again… not going so well. At this point I could do nothing but sit my tail down and chastise myself for being complacent enough to get clipped in the first place. Sighing aloud once again I turned my attention to 'my charge' once again.
"Well… can't get rid of you now, can I?" I asked knowing he wouldn't answer back.
'I probably wouldn't even if I could though. I can feel your energy… I sense you're not such a bad guy at all. Funny… your energy reminds me of a family member I had back before I died and became a Soul Reaper. Like my brother's*7… you must both act about the same then.'
Author's Note:
(Foreign words and extra stuff are together this time because I must explain certain things in detail or it will drive me crazy.)
1* Senkaimon- 'World Penetration Gate' Used by the Shinigami to travel between Soul Society and the World of the Living. (You've seen them before; I know you have. ;)
2* Shunpo- 'Flash steps' movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. It is a form of Hohō-'Fast Movement'. (You've seen this technique as well. I always wanted to be able to use this ability. So I can get places faster and get behind my brother quickly and smack his head when he's being a dummy. )
3*-Lord of the Rings reference! In the third movie when Frodo is captured by the orc's and tries to untie his bonds the one orc catches him and goes to stab him in the gut and 'bleed him like a stuck pig'. Ouch! Sounds like it would hurt!
4* Bala- Spanish for 'Bullet', Japanese for 'Hollow Bullet'. Technique used by arrancar's only. (Muramasa is able to use it because the Hollow reaitsu is turning him into an arrancar. You should know that already but my brother has taught me that things that are meant to be common knowledge are not always so.) A bala is smaller than a cero but about twenty times faster and has more concussive force to it. (Again that should also be common knowledge.)
5*Bakudō # 61: Rikujōkōrō- A form of Kidō (Kidō means 'spirit way' or 'demon way'…just FYI). It falls into the class of Kidō called Bakudō (Bakudō means 'way of binding'… again just FYI). You've seen this technique before as well; the English translation would be 'Way of Binding #61: Six-Staff Light Prison'. (I find that the Kidō spells sound cooler in Japanese then if you were to say it in English ;)
6* Bakudō # 85: Yami o kyohi- Ok this spell (as far as I know) is completely make up…by me. Yeah I know right! Tell me what you think of the incantation for the spell; it took my twenty minutes to get it the way I wanted it.(I think it sounds like something a Soul Reaper would actually say; all dark and long and…stuff; 0..0) I made it # 85 since the strength of the Kidō spell goes from 1 (being the weakest) up to 99 (being the strongest). Anything above 90 is usually forbidden and anything below 80 seemed a little weak for a technique that could destroy so many Hollows at once so 85 sounded the best to me. In English the spell would be translated as 'Way of Binding #85: Rejecting the Darkness or Rejection of Darkness'.
7*- Yes; Masutātorikkusutā had a brother before he died. I'll tell you guys about that later though; in another flashback chapter. It is an important thing that Muramasa reminds Masutātorikkusutā of his brother though. At this point Masutātorikkusutā doesn't really know how Muramasa normally behaves but he believes that a person's energy (Reaitsu/Spiritual Pressure) in a since dictates how someone acts. Also; normally someone who becomes a Soul Reaper or a Hollow can't remember their life as a human. However; Masutātorikkusutā isn't a normal person at all. I'll elaborate more on that later as well.
Ok that's all for now! (Remember… I'm going on a trip for a week and I won't be back home to my computer till next Friday. Sorry Sorry Sorry! I hope anyone who cares at all will be patient until I can get back! Thank-you all! (And I'll even tell you guys where I'm going! Gatlinburg Tennessee!) It's my graduation trip me and my Grandma are taking! Finally out of High School! I'm leaving tomorrow morning; so excited!
Hope you all liked this chapter alright since it was a rush job and all...
Love to all readers and reviewers!
Peace Out!
