Human
Human behave yourself,
Grimmjow's POV
"What is your problem, Sexta?"
"I can't do this anymore, Ulquiorra."
The cuatro espada gives me a curious look, or a curious as Ulquiorra could ever look. "What do you mean? Does it have to do with the trash?"
"You mean Kurosaki."
"Yes, I am talking about the trash." Every time he says trash, I involuntarily flinch. "It is. You are flinching when I call him trash."
"I can't help it! He looks like Prince Ichigo. And he wound up being him, I'd never hurt him. I can't!"
"Prince Ichigo Karyushima? That human trash?" He looks down at Ichigo, a frown etching itself on his face. "You might be right."
You have burst at the seams
Let it all fall out open your mouth
Nnoitora's POV
Sarah holds my hand. The youngest prostitute in the cat house being the only one I can stand. The only person I can call a friend. My mother, Genevieve doesn't want me to be with other children my age. She doesn't think anyone would want to befriend her bastard child. I can't
wait till I'm grown, I'll leave then.
"Nnoitora, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, Sarah."
"Do you wanna go home?"
"Back to the cat house?"
"Well, if you have another place, take me with you. And while we're on the subject of you, happy birthday. Here's an eye patch to play pirates with!" She drops said piece of cloth in my hand, a smile etched on her face. "And a kiss for your first double digit birthday."
Her kiss takes me by surprise. It's sweet and nice not at all like the others I've felt, and that's saying something. My last being a man with whom my mother once consummated with. I hate that man. It's not like he's the first. I'm just thankful it doesn't matter to Sarah.
Often I lie awake,
Think of things I can make
But I don't seem to have the parts to build them
Nelliei's POV
A gust of wind, surprisingly hot in this desert of eternal night, blows sharp particles of sand in my face like tiny swords that bite into my flesh, leaving stinging cuts and nicks in their wake. Grimmjow, Anita and Ulquiorra seem to be the only espada at home in the blistering gales. I would have never expected Ulquiorra to love it out here. I can already imagine how bad it must feel to have those kinds of wounds on the paper-thin membranes of his black velvety wings.
"Nel," Grimmjow mewls, nudging my hand with his muzzle.
"I'm alright, Grimmy. I'm just not sure this will work out well. I mean, Shinigami and Hollows don't mix well."
"Neither does Ulquiorra and sugar. But we'll make do."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. It'll work out. I promise."
Human I wonder why you're a better make than I could ever build or create,
Szayzel's POV
I sigh, thirty-five failures now, thirty-five times I failed at creating life. I slam my head against a table, leaving a face print in the metal. "Szayzel, please don't hurt yourself. I don't mind." Bella rests his dainty hand on my arm and kisses my temple. Oh, how I wish I could give him a child. One as beautiful as he. Oh, how wonderful mortal life is. But why is creating it so damn hard? "I'm not giving up just yet. I need to do this. For you."
"But you don't have to. I never expected that I'd ever have kids. I'm just glad I have you to keep me grounded. Like Keta has Ichigo and Souske has Hanna."
"But..." I'm so glad a machine cut me off. It was the happiest news of my life.
"Experiment: Success."
You know not love or hate
Ulquiorra's POV
What is love? The emotion that lies within that organ, the heart that beats so strongly in the human woman's chest.
What is hate? Is it too caused by the heart? Is it so different than love?
They are twisted around in my mind, melding into one feeling so that I cannot even tell the difference. My life so mixed up that I could never tell them apart. So, what is love? What is hate? Not that I'd know.
I am so scared of what will kill me in the end for I am not prepared,
I hope I will get the chance to be someone,
To be human,
Hallibel's POV
"What's up, Hal?"
I smile and lay a hand on Coyote's. "Just wondering."
"Wondering about what?"
I look out at Lilinette and Ggio, the couple laughing and just hanging out. If you didn't know it, you'd think they were still human. You'd think most of us to be human. "'Bout what it'd be like to live again."
Look what we've done, x2
Anyu's POV
Twilight. New Moon. Eclipse. Breaking Dawn. I've read them all. I've watched them all. And now... I'm watching Twilight... with Keta and Ulquiorra. Stupid Idea.
"That is so stupid! Vampires don't sparkle."
"This is unacceptable. We must protest!"
"Yes! We have to for our species!"
'What have I done?'
I would give my life, to be human x 3
I would give my life, to be…
Ggio's POV
"Ichigo! Ink's trying to eat Renji again!"
"Really? I wanna see!" The orangette runs up, a cocky smile on his face. I envy him and the life he has. Oh how I long for a life such as his. To be human again. But such is life.
Human I'm trying to come clean,
I will be a better me
Ichimaru's POV
A tear slips from her eye, cold and clear, like the diamonds in her earrings. Karin looks down at the ground, keeping Yuzu close to her. Mama's dead, and I and Ichigo are responsible. If our spiritual pressure wasn't so high, Mama would still be alive. I don't wanna lose our Papa or our sisters, so I hafta to protect Ichi. Even if I have to kill him to do so.
Zan-Zan says we have to sleep now. But I don' wanna sleep. Ichi needs us. And I need him.
I will not drink until I'm dead
I'll make the most of it.
Souske's POV
"That'll kill ya one day ya know."
"It isn't stopping me, Hanna. Besides I'm already dead.
She gives me an unamused face and punches my arm. Lightly, she doesn't want to accidentally break it. "You know what I mean, Souske."
I take another swig of scotch. "And I obviously don' care. It's one of the few things I still enjoy in this world, besides you and our friends."
"Fine, but if your drinking so am I."
I don't know what it's like to be alive,
To say goodbye,
Lilinette's POV
Cold, his hands are cold, not from the freezing weather but from that final scene in ones life. Oh, how sweet is the death that ends a human's existence, the very thing that we as hollows crave. To taste the pain and sorrow and happiness of a souls past.
This is how my father's hands feel as he wipes away my tears. Cold yet with a warmth caused by the breaths he still breathes now as a hollow. My papa, I love him, human or not and I could never say goodbye.
To cry a thousand tears because my ears won't listen.
Anita's POV
Cyan eyes gleam at me through the morning fog. My brother's eyes are watery with unshed tears, and he wipes at them, trying to keep them from falling. Prince Ichimaru's dead, and Keta's pregnant. Oh, how cruel this world is, to take a father away from his unborn son. To put
such a burden on a girl who's lost so much; her father, her twin, her cousin, everyone she cared about...
Like Grimmjow and me.
Human I'm trying not to lose my faith in you,
Hannaverra's POV
I hold onto Souske's hand as we walk out to a lily pond near his home. His chocolate pools are full of mirth and happiness; I believe he missed me. "Hanna," he murmurs, "why are you here, now of all times? Why not earlier?"
I sigh. "I didn't wanna tell you this, Sou-chan, but... I'm dead."
He gapes at me. "You... you're dead? W-who k-killed you?" I sigh again and mumble my answer. "Hanna, tell me."
"My daughter."
"Wh-why?"
"My servant, Lancaster killed her new mate and it awakened 'that' side."
"That?"
"Her father was a marauder hollow, a Vasto Lordes. And he was my cousin. And it killed me. That power that lay almost dormant inside him was passed to her, and it killed me."
"I don't care!" he exclaims, "I love you anyways!"
I smile. 'Oh, how I wish you were still the human boy who sold his soul to me. My little demonling.'
I've sussed out all that I've seen through,
I've sailed and ocean
Stark's POV
"Lilinette, don't cry," I whisper in her ear and attempt to consul my little girl.
"B-but wh-why d-do you have t-to g-go?"
"Because, King Arthur wishes me to. There's no turning back on that oath. Just remember, for me, no matter how far I am from you, I'll always love you, okay?"
"I love you, too Papa."
I am so scared of what I'll look like in the end for I am not prepared
I hope I will get the chance to be someone,
To be human,
Look what we've done, x2
Byakuya's POV
"Just piss off!" My head smacks against the concrete with a sickening crack.
"Byakuya! You will never talk to me like that again, understood?" I nod, shying away from my grandfather. He grabs ahold of my left ear and yanks, drawing a pained scream from me. "And keep these things hidden from sight. You're a worthless disgrace!" With one last tug on
my ear he leaves.
And I curl up in a ball and cry, holding a hand over my twitching and sore, black ear and its matching tail to my side.
I would give my life, to be human x 3
I would give my life, to be…
Yammy's POV
I sigh. Is it too much to ask for a more human form? If I can't be human, is this my punishment? To look so different from the other espada. I even envy Ulquiorra who is perhaps the most secretive of all espada.
I use to hear it all so loud
The sound of my heart breaking
Senbonsakura's POV
The sakura blossoms highlight Byakuya's slim features, like a daisy in the dead of night. He waves at me; a broad, sparkling white smile on his face. Little Yakuya. He doesn't know who I am yet, but that's okay. He's still my Yakuya after all.
And I'd never hurt my Yakuya.
The truth is waiting to be found
I trust that I will take it
Adrenaline's POV
Juushiro. My reason for staying here. Why are you so sad? You have our son now. Is it because you don't know he is? I wish I could tell you.
I would give my life x4
Ichigo's POV
"Who's this Renji?" I ask, looking over the blue headed soul.
"This is Anyu. No I'm not going to explain."
"I wouldn't ask you to," I respond, a smirk playing on my lips. His expression reminds me of my own when my sisters are in danger. "Take care off her!" I call over my shoulder and trudge up the steps to Keta's and my room.
I would give my life, to be (human)
Toushiro's POV
"Toushiro, wake up."
"Five more minutes, Mommy, I don't wanna go to school. Can't I stay here with you?"
My mom, correction, adoptive mom laughs. "No, Toushiro. You shouldn't be late for your first day."
I open my eyes slowly. "What if no one likes me?"
She smiles. "They will. I promise."
I bolt out of bed, breathing hard. These memories I'd long since buried, resurfacing after twenty plus years. It's not like I'll see her again. After all she died that night. Both she and my adoptive sister, Kaiya. And then I was with the monster.
I would give my life, to be (human)
Nyx's POV
I card my fingers through Isshin's hair, a smile working itself up on my face. I've missed this. Just being with him. Eight years is a long time, and soon, when Ichigo and Ichimaru are ready, I won't have to leave ever again.
I would give my life, to be (human)
Violetta's POV
"Big Brother!" I launch myself at U'ra, and as per usual he catches me without a hitch.
"Yes, Little Sister?"
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Can I eat Szayzel?"
"Why?"
"I'm hungry."
"Okay."
"No!"
I would give my life, to be (human)
Keta's POV
"Is it true, what they say? Are we too blind to find the way? Fear of the unknown clouds our hearts today." I tilt my head up to the sky and greet the coming dawn with grace. And a song slips in and out of my mind like a breeze on a warm day. "Come into my world. See through my eyes. Try to understand, don't wanna lose what we have." I sigh and look down at the city. What I wouldn't give to be one of them, to be Human.
