In the world of the living a beautiful wedding was taking place in a church. the bride-to-be was so happy that she cried tears of joy. her best friends were giving her some finishing touches.
Hime bestie❤️
Rei-San! You look amazing🤩!
Rukia Bestie⭐
You look like a goddess 😍!
Rangiku Bestie💎
Oh, honey when Ichigo Sees you he's going to flip! 🤯
Rei Nakajima
Do you guys really think so? I mean I don't look too extra?🥺
Yuroichi bestie 🐈⬛
Nah Girl! You look beautiful😻!
Rei Nakajima
Thank you Yuroichi!😊
suddenly there was a knock at the door revealing Nanao the wedding planner.
Nanao-San😊
Rei-Sama! everyone on the list seemed to have arrived we're just finishing up some last minute touches!
Rei Nakajima
Right! thank you Nanao-San 😊
Since Rei didn't have anyone to give her away Captain Yamamoto offered to step in as a father figure for her to walk her down the aisle.
Cat stalker bestie🤣
I heard that Head Captain Yamamoto is going to be the one to give you away...he must really see you as family.
Rei Nakajima
Well who could say? ever since I met the old man he treats me like his family.
it was then that Captain Unohana entered the room with a grim look on her face.
Rei Nakajima
Unohana-Sama? Is something wrong? You look pale!🥺
But before she could say anything Rei's long time friend entered the room.
Sana the bitch👿
Rei! You look wonderful!
Rei Nakajima
Sana! I'm so glad you're here!
Sana the bitch👿
I wouldn't miss it for the world sweetie! Are those the shoes you're wearing?
Rei Nakajima
Well yeah... Ichigo-kun gave them to me.
Sana the bitch👿
Oh honey they look horrible with that dress you should wear the ones I got you instead!
Yuroichi bestie 🐈⬛
Hey Sana? Why don't you mind your damn business and leave her be. The shoes match her dress perfectly! it's your ugly shoes that will ruin her dress!
Sana the bitch👿
Chill out honey! I'm only worried about her appearance 😂. Honestly I wasn't trying to insult her.
Rei Nakajima
Okay that's enough you two! I don't want any of you fighting I think you guys should go get seated the ceremony will start soon.
Everyone nodded their heads and went out. All Except Unohana.
Unohana-Sama🌸
Rei.... there's something I need to tell you.
Rei looked at her with a worried look.
Unohana-Sama🌸
It's about your husband to be and your friend Sana.
Rei's smile soon faded as she looked at Unohana with a grim look. Rei now walked down an empty corridor in which she now headed to the garden of the church. She couldn't stop thinking about what Unohana told her earlier.
Unohana-Sama🌸
Ichigo Kurosaki...has been cheating on you with Sana.
Unohana-Sama🌸
I heard them talking to each other in the lobby saying to meet each other at the garden before the reception started...this isn't the first time I caught them kissing each other....I'm sorry I should have-
Rei Nakajima
No... it's fine....just....I need to be alone right now.
As soon as she reached the garden she began to shed tears quietly.
the loud gasp caught both Ichigo and Sana's attention.
Ichigo-kun💔
Rei... It's not what you think!
Rei just ran away from him and he ran after her. She ran out of the church leaving every single one of her guests confused except for Sana who began to laugh in amusement.
Sana the bitch👿
Hahahaha! Look at her run away like the tramp she's always been!
Yuroichi bestie 🐈⬛
WHAT THE **** DID YOU DO TO HER YOU SLEEZY SKANK!
Rangiku Bestie💎
WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR ******* PROBLEM SANA! SHE'S YOUR BEST FRIEND! WHY WOULD YOU HURT HER LIKE THAT-
Sana the bitch👿
Ha! As if! That **** got what she deserved for trying to be happier than I! That ***** had it coming!
Cat stalker bestie🤣
**** you! Go to hell Sana! I won't forgive you for hurting Rei-Sama like that! Aaaahhh!🔥
Soifon soon began to beat the crap out of Sana. No one could separate Soifon from Sana seeing as how angry she was for making Rei cry like that.
Ichigo-kun💔
Rei wait! Please stop!
Rei Nakajima
NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!
Rei ran and ran until she got home to her apartment complex barricading herself inside.
Ichigo-kun💔
REI! LET ME IN! PLEASE!
Rei Nakajima
GO AWAY! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU EVER AGAIN!
Ichigo-kun💔
PLEASE JUST LET ME EXPLAIN! I KNOW I FUCKED UP BUT I-
Rei Nakajima
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT YOU DID! THE WEDDING IS OFF AND YOU CAN KEEP YOUR STUPID RING 💍!
Ichigo-kun💔
REI PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU-
Rei Nakajima
I SAID GO AWAY! YOU LECHEROUS MISBEGOTTEN BASTARD! LEAVE!
Ichigo-kun💔
*sigh.....
Fine.💔
Rei began to wail quietly as she sat on the couch brokenhearted from the betrayal of the man she loves and her long time friend seeing each other behind her back.
Rei Nakajima
Ichigo...Sana....you can both go to hell...*sob
Back at the church Ichigo arrived defeated as he announced to everyone that the wedding has been cancelled nor will there ever be one between him and Rei.
Hime bestie❤️
Kurosaki-Kun....How could you do that....How could you hurt Rei like this?
Rukia Bestie⭐
Why did you do that to her? Didn't you say that you would love her forever!? Didn't you say she was your one true love!?
Yuroichi bestie 🐈⬛
I knew you were no good for her!
Cat stalker bestie🤣
The audacity! And you call yourself a Man!
Rangiku Bestie💎
Shame on you! Shame on you Ichigo Kurosaki!
It was then that Captain Yamamoto stepped in front of him and gave him a good slap on the head.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
This will be the only and final time the soul society will work with you and the final time you see Rei ever again....This was low even for you Ichigo Kurosaki.
Ichigo-kun💔
On account of Who!? last time I checked you're not her relative!
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
On account of me! Her adoptive grandfather! I may not be related to her by blood but to me she is and will always be my granddaughter! And I'll be damned if I let her see you again! Stay away from Rei Ichigo Kurosaki...you've been warned.
After Yamamoto's angry outburst everyone followed behind him and left leaving an upset Ichigo to fend for himself in the church.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
Everyone return back to the soul society I want to speak to my granddaughter alone. The same goes for those who live here too.
everyone nodded their heads and headed back home. Captain Yamamoto arrived at Rei's home where he could clearly hear her lamenting.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
*knock
*knock
Rei my dear.... it is I....Captain Yamamoto.....may I come in?
there were a few seconds of silence and then the door opened letting him in
Rei Nakajima
Captain Yamamoto....what can I do for you sir? *sniffle *sniffle
Yamamoto noticed her dress was in all taters and shredded all over the place letting him know how upset she was.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
Rei my dear....move to the soul society with me and become my granddaughter.
Rei Nakajima
🤯..... Captain Yamamoto.....what are you saying sir? Do you feel fine?
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
move to the soul society to get away from here....help me train the 13 gotei and become my adoptive granddaughter.
Rei thought for a bit and soon came up with an answer.
Rei Nakajima
Rei Thinking:
If I stay here....I'll only suffer seeing as Ichigo doesn't give up that easily...if I move in with Grandpa Yamamoto I'll be better than I am now...I'll be distracted.
Rei Nakajima
Yes....I will move to the soul society with you but in order for me to go there I must expire
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
that is correct....that is why I brought this
Rei Nakajima
Mm? Sakura Raindrop cakes?
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
yes they're a special kind of food that once you eat this cake you will go into a deep slumber.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
If you eat one you will sleep for 1 month. If you eat all four of them you will sleep peacefully forever....in other words you'll die peacefully in your sleep. your heart will stop beating.
Rei Nakajima
I see.....then I'll eat all four of them. Once I eat them all how long until the effects kick in?
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
5 seconds
Rei still pondered for a bit until Yamamoto patted her head gently.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
Don't worry about it too much. If anything it will make it seem that your cause of death was caused by a broken heart. Kurosaki and Sana will be the ones to blame for your death.
Rei Nakajima
I see...but I don't want to leave my body behind....I don't want anyone near it. Especially Sana since now I know her true colors.
Keisuke Sensei
Then I'll take it to the soul society once I prepare the funeral 😁
Rei Nakajima
OH GOD! When did you get here!?😳
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
I thought I said for everyone to go home and leave Rei be did I not?
Keisuke Sensei
Easy pops I'm only here to help ease her anxiety. Besides if she disappears without a trace don't you think people will get in an uproar? I rather make it seem like I found her dead from a broken heart and prepare a small funeral without having Sana and Ichigo there to sabotage it. Once that is over I'll hand your body over to Yuroichi to take it to the soul society where Mayuri Kurotsuchi will make sure to preserve it. Does that sound good?😊
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
.........
Rei Nakajima
Can you honestly guarantee me that everything will go off without a hitch?
Keisuke Sensei
But of course my sweet raven😉
Rei Nakajima
*nod
Alright....I'll eat them Captain Yamamoto
Yamamoto gave Rei the cakes in which she then ate them all in a matter of seconds. Once she was done she collapsed but Keisuke caught her just in time before she could hit the floor.
Keisuke Sensei
I'm sorry that this whole thing happened to you Rei....But hopefully this teaches Ichigo a lesson and I wish you nothing but happiness in the soul society.
As soon as Keisuke felt her heart stop he nodded his head slightly to Captain Yamamoto Where he then collected a bright blue orb from Rei's body.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
Her soul is so warm and gentle.... she's one who's born of the light....make sure you keep her promise to her and don't you dare let those two come near her vessel...Or I swear I'll kill them both.
Keisuke Sensei
Understood sir! Take good care of your granddaughter then!😁
Soon the head captain left with Rei's soul to the soul society and left Keisuke to set up the plan.
3 days later the funeral was held at Keisuke's shop were he only told Rukia, and Yuroichi what was really happening in which the two had to keep everything a secret even from their friends here in the world of the living.
Hime bestie❤️
Rei....I truly do hope you're resting in peace....and I'm so sorry for not being able to protect you....till the very end! *Sob Rei!
Ishida-San
It's okay Orihime.... She always knew you were strong and she wouldn't want you to feel bad like this... Let's live our lives like she always told us to do so... let's live it like she did.... always living in the moment!
Rangiku Bestie💎
AAAAAHHHHH! **** you Ichigo! *sob *sob It's all your fault! Rei! I'm so sorry!
everyone there could not stop crying for their loss of their beloved friend.
Ichigo did show up but he was not let inside. In fact no matter how much he hollered to be let in no one batted an eye. They ignored him till the very end. Keisuke only looked down upon him with a serious look on his face.
Ichigo-kun💔
Keisuke....please.....I'm begging please....let me see her.
Keisuke Sensei
Sorry 😒 can't do that. It was her last wish for you and Sana to be away from her as much as possible.
Keisuke Sensei
You know she died of a broken heart because of you. She really did love you and you ruined it by hooking up with her supposed Skank friend.
Ichigo-kun💔
But it wasn't like that-
Keisuke Sensei
Why don't you stop making excuses Ichigo. Besides, I heard that this wasn't the first time you cheated on her with Sana. Why don't you man up and own your mistakes instead of running away like a coward.
Ichigo-kun💔
Will you at least tell me where you're going to bury her.....So that I can visit her grave at least?
Keisuke Sensei
I'm burying her here....where she won't be disturbed by you or Sana. Good day Ichigo Kurosaki.
Keisuke walked back inside and shut the door behind him without giving Ichigo a chance to speak.
Ichigo-kun💔
Rei.....I'm sorry....Please....I'm so sorry. *sob.
In the soul society every soul reaper awaited for Rei's soul to wake up from her deep slumber.
Rei Nakajima
*eyes opening slowly and looks around confused.
Where am I?
Rukia Bestie⭐
Rei! You're okay!
Rei Looked around once more as Rukia suddenly hugged her. She remembered exactly what happened and smiled for a bit.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
Welcome Home to the soul society Rei my granddaughter.
Rei Nakajima
oh...thank you!
.
.
.
.
.
Huh!? Granddaughter!?
Rei seemed surprised by his words but she had no Idea what her new life had in-store for her.
The Date
Rei's P.O.V:
It's been 3 years since I left the realm of the living and joined the soul society. It was probably for the best seeing as I didn't want to be anywhere around my ex and his soon-to-be wife.
I have no one back in the world of the living, no family, so the move was pretty easy for me to decide.
Of course, I'm letting the soul society use me how they see fit seeing as I am the one strongest who helped defeat Aizen and end his tyrannical war. After all I am a supreme being and lethal weapon at that.
Head captain Yamato and I were outside the veranda of his castle drinking Sake and eating some dango I had made earlier.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
Rei my dear.... I know the reason you left the world of the living is because of Ichigo Kurosaki.....I know what he did to you, and that is unforgivable.... I also know your story origin.....so I've decided to make you my granddaughter.
Rei Nakajima
Head captain Yamamoto I-I don't know what to say!? I-
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
You've suffered long enough. I will become your family.....you have protected us and the mortals for a very long time....I owe you and I will never get the chance to experience having a family. Just accept it my dear.
I could only sigh softly as I began to shed tears quietly.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
Now that we are family.....I want you to start dating again.....and live a happy life with your significant other.
Rei Nakajima
Captain-I mean grandfather.... It's too soon for me right now I-
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
I know dear be calm, I just want you to go on one date with Byakuya Kuchiki.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
He asked for you personally....just talk with him for a bit and if you don't want to continue seeing him then take all the time you need to gather yourself and your thoughts and look for your new love
I only nodded my head and then got up said my good night to my grandfather. The next day I got up and my maids started to help me change into a beautiful and elegant pink kimono. I put my long voluminous straight wavy hair into an updo where I now looked like a Geisha especially since I had put on the family head piece that Yamamoto provided me with.
She soon did her own make up that made her crimson red eyes pop, and finally she put on her sandals. As soon as she was done the maids and the other servants including Yamamoto's lieutenant looked at her with awe as her beauty is nothing but breathtaking.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
It's time to go. The Kuchiki clan is waiting for you my dear.
Once they arrived, the Kuchiki estate seemed so overwhelmed with her beauty.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
As Requested by the head of the Kuchiki clan....my granddaughter is here to go on this special date of yours.
Yamamoto then handed his granddaughter's hand to Byakuya Kuchiki who seemed eager to finally see her.
Rei Nakajima
Kuchiki-san.....we meet again.
Rei gave him a small smile but in all honesty she seemed tired and yet she tried to seem more cheerful.
Byakuya-San💘
Yes... that's right....would you join me in the veranda for some tea.
he was practically taken aback still from her beauty. He soon composed himself seeing as he still wanted to impress.
Rei Nakajima
*Giggles Quietly
she soon hooked her arm around his where he then led her to the veranda. He then began to prepare the matcha tea.
Rei Nakajima
Kuchiki-san? May I ask you something?
He only nodded his head slightly.
Rei Nakajima
Are you in love with me?
without hesitation he grabbed her hand and planted a small kiss on it.
Rei Nakajima
Oh Kuchiki-san...... I'm sorry..... but I can't.....return your feelings.....I don't feel the same way and I recently broke up with Ichigo Kurosaki.....what I'm trying to say is-
Byakuya-San💘
No matter how long it takes..... I will wait for you.
Rei Nakajima
You'll only be wasting your time....you won't be able to change my mind.
Byakuya-San💘
What ever happened with you and Ichigo Kurosaki you must let it go....I am not Ichigo Kurosaki.
Rei Nakajima
I know you're not....but you must give me some time to think and do some other things. It's a bit hard for me to move on with some one new....so until I get over my ex then I will start dating again....so please...no more dates.
Byakuya only nodded his head slightly. Although he was a little disappointed with her answer he was still happy that she was considering on becoming his one day.
As soon as they finished their date she bid Byakuya farewell as Rei and her now grandfather went back to their castle.
But their peaceful moment would soon come to an end as Yamamoto and Rei felt a disturbingly powerful presence appear out of nowhere.
when they looked up at the sky they were appalled to see the sky opening up once again making anxiety flow across Rei's body.
Rei Nakajima
No.....Not again! This can't be happening!
The Hybrid Hollow
The sky began to open up once again making anxiety flow across Rei’s body.
Rei Nakajima
No….Not again…This can’t be happening!?
The portal lasted open for a few seconds and then it closed. Making everyone there anxious.
Without hesitation Rei used her power to change into her jet black and crimson red jump suit. She almost looked like an assassin with that clothing.
Rei Nakajima
The portal closed and something too fast for my eyes came out….I must be on guard….Who knows if stupid Aizen is on the move again.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
Do you see it anywhere Rei?
Rei kept eyeing the sky looking paranoid for a bit as she scanned all around the soul society including the sky. She then felt the presence once more and to her surprise she saw a glimpse of it readying it’s attack.
Rei Nakajima
EVERYONE SPREAD OUT AND WAIT FOR MY COMMAND!
Rei Nakajima
UNOHANA-SAMA! INCOMING ON YOUR LEFT! SLICE IT!
Unohana sliced the air where soon a fleshy like creature showed itself and groaned in pain as it was now cut in half.
Renji-Kun
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?
Suddenly Rei felt another one of those things presence.
Rei Nakajima
LIEUTENANT ABARAI ABOVE YOU!
Rei hurriedly rushed to his side and protected him with a protective shield barrier. Byakuya appeared out nowhere and now stood before them managing to stab the creature on it’s shoulder where it soon roared in agony and managed to get away.
Rei Nakajima
Kuchiki-San? Can you see it too?
She asked in which she unshielded Renji from her protective barrier.
Byakuya-San💘
Yes, but only it’s camouflage.
Rei let her guard down too early as Byakuya noticed the thing coming straight for her. She felt its presence a little too late managing to dodge it by an inch, but it managed to sto stab her right side area with it’s horn.
Rei Nakajima
EEEEIIIEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
Byakuya flashed stepped towards her now protecting her from another incoming attack from the creature as he then stabbed the creature in the eye running away for the moment as it prepared to attack once more. He then wrapped his arm around her shoulders and brought her closer to him.
Rei Nakajima
Kuchiki-San! Let go! I’m fine-we need to defeat the thing and-mmm!
Byakuya began to kiss Rei fiercely as he brought her more closer to him. He kissed her as if he would never see her again. Rei began to feel weak from his passionte kiss. She then wrapped her arms around his neck and then she began gripping his captain’s coat tightly. They soon parted their kiss panting heavily and gasping for air.
Byakuya-San💘
*pants heavily I was so scared of loosing you….I was so scared…..stay by my side…..I don’t want to lose you…….I know you told me to wait….But I-
She hushed him quietly by putting the tips of her fingers on his lips in which he then gently grabbed her hand and began to kiss it making her blush even more.
Rei Nakajima
I’ve thought…..Long and hard….and I’ve made my decision…..If you help me….defeat this thing…..I promise to become yours tonight….I promise to become your wife…..and we can get married tonight.
Byakuya then kissed her once more and they soon got into their fighting stances as the creature was coming straight towards them. Byakuya unleashed his Zanpakto with Rei in the middle they both held on to the zanpakto putting all their power in it.
Byakuya-San💘
Senbonsakura!
They both swung the sword with all their might slicing the creature in half with their overwhelming powers. The creature soon revealed itself as it now began to disintegrate and howl in agony.
Hollow monster 👹
Rei Nakajima…..you may have defeated us for now…..but you can’t outrun your destiny….the prophecy will come to light and soon everything and everyone you care about….will die.
Was the hollow creature spoke as it disintegrated quickly into the air.
Byakuya landed on the ground with Rei and Unohana immediately arrived to her side to heal her before Rei lost anymore blood. But Byakuya would let Rei leave his side nor his sight.He wouldn’t let Unohana take her to the hospital ward fearing that Rei would no longer want to be with him.
Byakuya-San💘
You can heal her here…you don’t need to-
Rei Nakajima
Kuchiki-San….please…..you and the other squad captains….have to investigate these creatures…..don’t worry about me….I’ll be fine.
Rei Nakajima
I promise…..I won’t run away….nor break our promise.
She gave him a tired smile and he only nodded his head and quickly went to investigate with the other squad captains.
The captains took a look at the remaining Caracas of the first creature. They were all horrified to see that it was so fleshy looking and just horrid….it looked like an experiment with human flesh.
Renji-Kun
This is crazy! Who would do such a thing! It looks like hollow but with human skin! WHAT IS GOING IN!?
Just like Renji everyone seemed pretty disturbed by the sight of the creature. They wondered who would do such a thing. Captain Kurotsuchi then pushed everyone aside.
Kurotsuchi the weirdo😓
If you all have observed the creature well, go write your reports, and leave this behemoth to me who make an excellent specimen from my collection of creatures.Nemu! Alert everyone in our squad to come to the center court! We need to take this lovely specimen back to my laboratory!
Everyone else just walked away as they didn’t want to deal with Kurotsuchi.
Womanizer(Kyoroko)😒
He’s as crazy as ever.
Ukitake-Sama
Well…you know how captain Kurotsuchi is when it comes to his work. 😅
The two then noticed Captain Kuchiki walking ahead of them in a hurry.
Ukitake-Sama
Captain Kuchiki! Would you like to-huh? Captain….Kuchiki?
Byakuya ignored them and this time he flashed stepped away as hurried to Rei’s side. He was anxious for her. Once he arrived at the hospital ward he looked everywhere for Rei but he couldn’t find her. He then ran outside and looked around the area. It was then that he saw her with head captain Yamamoto sitting at the water fountain talking.
Rei Nakajima
Kuchiki-San!😳
In front of Captain Yamamoto, Byakuya hugged Rei tightly as he breathed a sigh of relief. Byakuya then looked at head Captain Yamamoto and blushed a bit in embarrassment. He then looked at Rei and noticed her bandaged arm and torso.
Byakuya-San💘
How are you? Are you alright?
Rei Nakajima
Yes…Unohana gave me a pill that will help me heal faster. Don’t worry…..we’re you anxious because you couldn’t find me?
Byakuya-San💘
A little bit…I’m sorry for overreacting.
Rei Nakajima
It’s fine. Don’t worry….grandfather there’s something that Byakuya and I would like to discuss with you.
Grandpa Yamamoto👴
If it’s about your marriage I already know. I will give you my blessings.
Byakuya and Rei only sighed in relief as they hugged each other once more.
