Chapter Three: Judgement
It was maybe three days too soon, I woke up- unknown surroundings around. I wore a white kimono, sitting it what may have been someone's house.
"Lord Kuchiki. Lady Hisana has awoken." a maid spoke, from outside the doorway.
Lord Kuchiki? Is that...Byakuya? Rukia's brother? Why am I here? What is going on?
"Hisana, I see you're finally awake." Byakuya walks into the room and sits beside me. He hands me a sword with strange engravings at the hilt. "Do you remember this sword?"
I shook my head in dismay. I had no idea.
"Maybe this, will help you." Byakuya leaned forward and kissed me softly on the lips, grasping my hands in his. It felt too familiar to me, as if I knew Byakuya before. My head started to hurt, and the pain quickly increased. My eyes went wide and I fell back on the bed, clasping my head in pain. It was too unbearable that I had blacked out.
--"Hisana...it's been a long time, hasn't it?" A girl in a pink cloak with blue framed glasses stood before me. Her hair was long, and the color of a violet tulip accented with white tips. Someone who looked like me stood beside her but with blue hair and golden eyes and a red kimono. Then on her right was a woman with long red hair and a floral kimono with a man with blonde hair standing next to her, wearing a soul reaper uniform with insignia on his left sleeve of some sort. He also wore a blood red scarf with that.
"Hisana, it's about time you know the truth, my child. The woman in the floral kimono stated, walking over to me.
"Your real mother and father died from an attack, and you were made a human so that your powers would be sealed. We tried to protect you. And the man who claims to be your father in the World of the Living, is not at all a father or a decent man to be raising you. Since you're back in the Soul Society though and your powers are returning to you, most of your memories of this 'father' are going to disappear."
The man that was beside her before, stepped forward and looked straight at me. "You see, Hisana, we.. are your parents. You're the last living member of our family's clan. The Kusonarii's.."
I was baffled by this, my hands shaking along with my whole body trembling. "What?"
"Draw us out.." My parents and the girl in the pink cloak said. The person who looked like me grinned. "Release your inner hollow, too.."
I opened my eyes and grabbed the sword; "Spread your wings and fly! AKUMA NO TSUBASA!"
My kimono, well shikasho changed from a white to a black with white accents on the sleeves, and I stood there, before Byakuya with him staring at me with wide eyes. Byakuya fell to one knee at the shock by my spirtual pressure. "S-Such spirtual pressure...!"
"Where's Rukia?" I looked down at him.
"I don't care about her.."
"How could you? She's your sister! You can't be so cold towards her!"
"She was locked away for the right thing. They are discussing her verdict in Central 46. She will most likely get sent to the repentance cell." He looked at me with cold eyes, showing no remorse nor feeling for his sister. She was simply saving Ichigo's life by doing what she did. "I will save her." Byakuya coldly grabbed my arm.
"You will not."
"But I must save her! Who else would? Renji? He's too loyal to you!"
He pushed me back into a room and shut the door, locking it behind him.
I sat there, crying. I couldn't do anything to help her. When I felt a spritual pressure enter the bounds of the Soul Society. There was four of them together.
it surely cannot be...!
I stood there, drawing in a breath, and spread my legs apart a little. "O Lord, Mask of Blood and Flesh, all creation, flutter wings, you who bears the name of man, Inferno, and Pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, "March on to the South! Hado 31! Red Flame Cannon!"
A beam of red light submerges from my hands, blasting a hole in the wall. I grab my zanpoktou and dash out, leaving mere traces of my spirit energy behind.
