(so here it is finnally!!!!!!!!!!and hopefully!)
The sun shone on my face as I ran through the forest. The rays of light were bursting through the leaves currupting the darkness. It was already getting tawords sunrise. I had to hurry. It was my first day as a soul reaper and I already had to fight with a hollow. As I got closer the aura got stronger and more visible. To me anyway. The sky was being covered with dark clouds as the hollow got stronger. By this time every second mattered. The only thing we were to focus on was the slaughter of the hollow. No emotions. We couldn't do anything but fight.
The clouds kept getting darker and darker. There was a distant rumble of thunder. It started to rain a bit. The rain caught in my light purple hair. The rain didn't stir a fuss. We couldn't focus on the rain. A streak of lightening hit the ground right near the hollow. I began to be able to make out it's shape in the distance. My sword was drawn by then and I was ready to call it. The hollow roared as we neared it. Nobody flinched. We stood ready to fight. Ready to die.
The hollow was bigger that most. There was a crack opening in the sky. The door to the human world. We had to stop it. It was gathering more power as we stood ready and waiting for the right moment to attack. We knew we could die but our expressions never changed. A few of us ran away like cowards but most of us stood our ground. We waited for the hollow to turn away. But it didn't. No hessitation. I called my sword. It became very large and had the imprint of a wolf on the side. Everyone else followed my lead and tried calling thier swords the ones that didn't know how just let thier blades stay the way they were. I leaped at the hollow. It clawed at me. It gave me a large wound in my shoulder. I didn't pull back. I winced a bit but I had to ignore the pain.
It was so big the only tactic we could use was to cut off it's head. Others closer to it's feet cut at it's lower body to keep it busy. I was getting closer to it's head. Unfortunatly it noticed me and ignored the people at the ground. It got it's claws into my other shoulder that it didn't cut. I let out a yell as I sliced it's arm off. It gave a roar of pain as it's blood spurted everywhere. The people on the ground were getting showered with all the blood. But they did not draw back. As the hollow was still screeching I got close enough to it's head to slice it's open. It spotted me and swatted at me with it's remaining arm. I swung my sword and sliced it's arm off along with a chunk of it's face. It roared louder. I was about to finish it when it bit me. I grunted in frustration and brought my sword down on it's head. Finally it was defeated.
We could now show our emotions. Since I was on the dead hollow's head I had to jump off before it hit the ground. As I lifted off it's carcass I finally felt the rain. Now that it was pouring it washed away some of the hollow blood. I examined the hollow's face...It was the face of my brother who had just turned into a hollow that day. My emotions filled my head. I broke down crying. These pathetic human emotions that filled me made me sick. But he was my brother after all. As the rain poured on so did my tears. My squad captain Toushiro walked over to me. He put his hand on my bloody, trembling shoulder. I looked up at him. He smiled at me. I strained out a weak smile. He bent down and hugged me. He smelled so nice. I felt better already. He whispered in my ear," I understand your feelings."
I didn't want to feel those feelings...The feelings of love or sorrow. If you felt love it would just leave to sorrow. And if you felt sorrow it would just leave to love again. But I couldn't help feeling these things. These pathetic human feelings. But Toushiro brought them out even more. We had known eachother in the soul reaper acadamy...I had been in my first years and he was in his last so he became a soul reaper before I did. He gave me these feelings once again at that moment. The pain felt so terrible but I wanted to be with Toushiro just a little bit longer. So we sat there like that for a while until a member of squad four came up to me.
"I need to treat your wounds." She said. I nodded. I tried to stand put my legs wouldn't move. Toushiro helped me up. Being so close to him made me feel so good. I wanted him to hold me longer but he couldn't. He whispered in my ear," You did great. Be strong." I nodded. I grabbed his hand as he started to walk away. He turned to look at me and I pulled him back tawords me and gave him one last hug. To my surprise he gave me a small kiss on my cheek. My eyes widened. He let me go and ran off to where ever he was going. The girl from squad four looked surprised. I smiled at her and said," I'm sorry."
The girl began to bandage my shoulders and my side where the hollow bit me. She worked silently. She was a little rough and she hurt my shoulder even more but she was a girl. The bad thing about low wounds is that you have is you have to pull down your shirt to get to them. So it was a pretty good thing that she was a fellow girl. I guess she got curious because she asked," What was with you and the captain." I looked back at her and said," He just felt bad for me. That hollow was my.....brother." I bit my lip to keep from crying more. She nodded and whispered," I think I get it now."
Another member of squad four walked up to the girl fixing my wounds. "We have to go to go bury the dead." My eyes widened at the words that came out of his mouth. People had died? It was all my fault......... I had let my brother change into a hollow. Then I couldn't defeat him fast enough! I bit my lip even harder. I was bleeding now. The girl who had been fixing my wounds said," You have to go now." I nodded and started running back to my quarters.
As I sped out of the forest the rain started pouring harder. I was soaked and miserable. The thunde was booming and echoing through the dismal trees. Lightening was the only thing that lit the dark sky. It seemed as if the rain was never going to stop. The same as my pain. I was still holding back many tears that I felt I couldn't shed. The feelings I wanted to disappear filled my head and blinded me. I could barely see as the rain caught in my already watery eyes. After what felt like an eternity I saw the buildings of my squad.
I walked slowly to my room in the building.My vision was gettin blurry with the still unshed tears. Toushiro walked up to me. He saw the pain in my eyes. I looked at him the best I could through the tears in my eyes. He looked really concerned. I started walking slowly tawords him. He stood there. I ran over and grasped him. I buried my head in his chest and started crying again. He pulled my body closer to himself and hugged me. "Please don't cry." He whispered. But I couldn't help it so I cried harder and harder. Toushiro just stood there and hugged me. His eyes looked a bit teary too.
I just cried and cried until I couldn't cry anymore. When I finally stopped I was blushing. Toushiro didn't care he just stood there and took it. I inhaled. Just standing there holding him made me feel a lot better. I was out of breath from crying. Every time I breathed in I felt calmer and calmer. Toushiro pushed me back a little so I could look at him. "It's going to be ok. You're much more beautiful when you smile." I nodded and tried to smile. I managed to give a weak smile. "I'll try to smile more for you then." I whispered. He smiled at me. Then he jerked me tawords him and gave me a huge kiss on the lips this time! I was surprised but I closed my eyes and started kissing him back. I wanted that moment to last forever. I felt so at peace. After what seemed like an hour we broke the kiss. We were both um....gasping for breath. Toushiro blushed a little then walked away after whispering," I love you."
After that kiss I felt like everything was ok even though it might not have been. Slowly the sun started to shine through the clouds. Even though my brother was gone I could go on living. I had decided that I could have these human feelings as long as they got me closer to Toushiro. Then I mutterd to myself," I love you too."
The rest of the day was spent with mourning over the dead. It was silent all around the soul society. But I didn't cry again. I was through. It was all ok. I sat in my room for a long time just thiking about what was happening. I was finally at peace with myself. After an hour I got up off of my butt and made my way outside. It wasn't storming anymore. That includes rain. I once again felt the warmth of the sun on my face. I smiled and let the wind whip my hair around. It was actually nearing sunset. So the sky was changing colors. In the peace of it I sensed spirit energy comeing tawords me. Someone was going to attack. I tensed up and looked around. One of the captains was walking up with his sword drawn and transformed.
"I failed to get your brother to kill you. So I guess I'll just have to dirty my hands..." He said darkly. "What?" I asked but this guy wasn't about to explain. He charged at me so I quickly pulled out my sword and shouted," Ookamimaru!" The name of my sword is Ookamimaru. So I made it transform and I caught the guy on the arm. He let out a growl of pain. He swung his sword but I blocked it with mine. He snickered and muttered,"I'll have to step it up a knotch." He slashed me away and I jumped back. He appeared behind me and knocked me over. He was sitting on me with his sword pionted at my throat. That was fast! He snickered again than hissed," Say goodbye little girl!" He pulled up his sword and began to bring it down on my head. Blood splashed everywhere.
