"Kizuna-bō wake up" a older woman says, her black hair having white streaks while she gently shakes her grandson her blue eyes filled with affection
The young boy gently stirs his ruffled black hair messy slowly he opens his eyes slowly revealing the same ocean blue color, yawning while blinking away the sleepiness, his necklace still on him the black chain clinging softly
the purple-blackish circular stone with 4 golden stars shining you can even see your reflection in it as he keeps it on him at all times because it was the first gift he got from her so he treasures it very dearly "I'm up I'm up" Kiana says sleepily while running his fingers through his hair
"Well good now get dressed fix your hair and come down to eat okay" "okay Baa-chan" Kizuna softly says getting up he goes to the bathroom to fix his hair, it's a big long so fixing it is a pain but he has to
When he looks into his reflection into those oven blue eyes he never had in his past life it's a bit weird 'can't believe it's been 5 years already' Kizuna thought in slight disbelief getting reincarnated was already a suprise
But getting reborn in bleach man that's crazy, he first found this out by him seeing and talking to a plus also he could feel his Reiryoku it was really large, well maybe he dosent have a measuring stick but he can feel it's really large, on top of that he's stronger than other kids his age kind of like Chad
So all in all he's feeling good he has a good newbie starter pack, a nice loving grandma, and they seem to be well off sure it might 1878 from what he can tell but hey its a good head start he smiles at his reflection doing ginger guns "looking good, feeling good"
Kizuna says to reflection but the second after he realizes how kind of cringe that is he puts them down slowly but still overall this new life it's good I like it I mean yeah I wish my family was a bit bigger since it seems like my mom and dad are both dead and yeah it kind of sucks he died like a week before his 15th birthday but..
Hey in life sometimes you can't have everything you want, besides it's best to focus on the positives in life that's what my mom used to say so I live by it, suddenly I feel my stomach growl well first things first I need to eat I'm really hungry
Quickly Kizuna gets dressed putting on a kimono with large open sleeves for ventilation it's something his grandma actually made herself so he takes good care of it, he then puts a couple blue pins in his hair that he thinks makes him look very handsome, Kizuna looks himself in the mirror with a smile fixing his necklace also
"Coming!" He says going downstairs to where the food is as he sits down neatly "my you look as cute as ever Kuzuna~" his grandma, Matsu said ruffling his hair before pinching his cheeks "hehe I know but I think you mean handsome" He says smiling not minding the cheek pinching
Since he likes it and if it makes her happy, he doesn't mind eventually she stops setting the table as she places all the dishes which consists of steamed rice, miso soup with tofu, grilled fish and we even had bread?
Oh we also had coffe I mean it makes sense it's the uh Meiji era? Or was it Meji era? Um one of the two basically modernization was happening so there western elements like the houses, which was nice since I liked western food after all I did live there for a tiny bit before dying along with going on vacations there
Matsu sits down next to him ruffling his hair "Here now dig in all you want Kizuna-Bō after all tie still a cute growing boy" she says affectionately "thanks Baa-Chan this looks really good" then he digs in like really digs in since he's hungry
At one point he just swallows a piece of bread whole "Hehe calm down the food isn't going anywhere also try eating a bit more properly Kizuna~ seriously" His grandmother softly chides, flicking his forehead while she eats gracefully and patiently,swallowing his food he chuckles sheepishly "Haha sorry Baa-Chan but um it's all really good"
As they continue to eat Kizuna takes in the atmosphere it's..nice I mean after everything that happened before in his past life these simple moments are really good, but finally he finishes eating his food as he does Kizuna leans into Matsu
Resting his head on her side closing his eyes for a while, she doesn't mind Kizuna was always an affectionate boy even as a baby he would often times signal to be held by her the memory makes her smile fondly her fingers running through his soft hair that seem to always have a healthy sheen on it like a mirror
"I see you decided to use the pins I gave you recently, they fit you nicely" she compliments her hands caressing the pins on his hair, "of course I did after all you gave them to me recently" Kizuna says as if it were the most obvious thing in the world
For a long while they stay like that eventually Matsu speaks up "Well~ Kizuna-Bō I would like to stay like this forever but I have to get everything ready so I can open the shop" she tells him in that same perpetual soothing tone wrapped in soft silk
Oh yeah almost forget about that, grandma has a shop it sells and makes clothes like kimono's along with other things that alone probably wouldn't leave us that well off but from what I know my dad has a small company that exports Japanese art
Apparently my dad's business partner made it grow quite a bit as they are dabbing in the textile's industry but thanks to that I'm pretty well off
"Oh well how about I help you set up!" He says happily wanting to be useful and to do something "sure that sounds lovely but don't work too hard my little cute worker~" Matsu teases softly, taking his small hand they go to the shop which is pretty close on the walk there he admires everything
Like the houses were pretty big but they were western-style, it was also quite, peaceful but there was also a general air of samurai-class nobility and distinction since quite a bit of them were former samurai which was so cool! I mean real samurai living near me so awesome
But I learned the city where living in is Naruki City which I'm pretty sure is near Karakura town I think oh and it was also where Xcution was stationed, man this is so cool near Kakura sure it might be dangerous but I can't believe I live near here, getting reborn in an anime is scary but also very awesome
Once they made it to the shop grandma quickly started putting up signs to show their In business, tidying everything up and I also tried to help but um with these tiny arms and my height I achieved little "Hehe look at my little worker man~" Matsu says warmly scooping him up as she placed him on a chair
"Okay I think you've worked hard enough right? You've more than earned your break" I pouted slightly, curse this body I think and did she really have to put me on such a high chair I mean it's like 4 feet tall so it might as well be a skyscraper to me
Anyways as grandma gets everything ready I watch swinging my legs on the chair it should be 5 or 4 minutes until she opens when she does I sometimes help since I do know how to like sow and stuff due to my past life leading a bit about that and in my current life I also learned
After 4 minutes she opens we wait then finally we get our first customer honestly I mainly zone out and just do what she says which isn't a whole lot, in order to make time pass I do sometimes talk with the kids which wasn't all that bad at the very least it's good to distract myself but I also try to befriend them
I help her out here and there nothing to major then I played with my spinning top as many may expect that quickly got boring to me but, the day quickly dimms "Ugh Baa-Chan I'm bored" he complains after all he's used to constant stimulation like phones, games, videos, things like that
"Relax Kizuna-Bō just be a bit more patient okay?" "Oookay" he drawls out while sighing, as the day passes slowly getting darker, Matsu smiles faintly at Kizuna "alright Kizuna-Bō I'll finish up here you go home be careful oh and there's snacks in case your a bit hungry" she tells him as he nods after all what's the worst that can happen
This is a pretty rich safe neighborhood, besides it's not that far away "Okay! Bye Baa-Chan" as I walk out the store I go towards the house..but I do some wondering around first I mean what's the worst that can happen?
"Wow everything's so..nice looking" I mutter wandering around but just as I'm about to turn to go home I sense something, he quickly turns around squinting but I see nothing
"Huh? Must be my imagination?" I walk turning my head but then "Ahh! Fuck! Kizuna yelps practically jumping out my skin it's-it's a hollow I'm not tripping! Instantly I bolt
As soon as I saw that mask-face thingy I ran since I'm fucking 5! Like come on at least let me get some levels first you spawn camper! "Fuck this is what get for wandering around!" As I run I do a quick right turn only to find out…
It's a dead end! Oh god I turn back seeing the hollow with its very muscular arms, oh god do something! I yell but then I realize something why don't I just scare it away bleach style
I close my eyes, just as the hollow is about to lunge at me, the ground cracks as I release my spiritual pressure it staggers back surprised "Haha yeah that's right tremble you holl-" my words instantly stop as the hollow seems to just steel its nerves preparing to attack me
Fuck! I just had to get the determined hollow! Seriously man!, it swings its large arm
Once again I see my life flash before my eyes like how it did when I was dying before..Shit! I-I can't die not again not after what I have but
I'm not a Shinigami not a Quincy nor hollow, I instinctively grip my necklace, Fuck! Fuck! Please let me not die!
But then a brilliant green glow covers my necklace the chain extends, the purple-blackish stone separates into five rings that go onto my fingers with the chain extending a little past my wrist it looks a lot like Kurapika's conjured chains from his Hatsu which I love since he's one of my favorite characters as a wicked smile appears on my face in an instant I roll evading his punch as I stand behind him
"Oh-ho yeah I'm going to beat you up now" "Rraaah!" It screeches or roars whatever as it rushes at me "No you don't Chain Jail" I say yelling out my attack since come on this is anime! you have to yell out your attack besides I've always wanted to do that
A chain extends out wrapping around the large hollow holding it tight then I lift him up and slam him down then again and again
But I soon realize I can't do a soul burial and I don't feel like messing with the whole cycle thing since that could bring unwanted attention…so what do I do? Luckily I'm pretty smart af least that's what I like to think "looks like it's plan B ugly" I'm somewhat near Karakura town so there should be Shinigami around right due to the intense spiritual energy right? Well I hope so
Releasing my large spiritual pressure I quickly throw the hollow with all my might sending him flying as I then run away back to my house hoping my plan worked
————————————————————
"Who can have that high spiritual pressure in the human world?" "I don't know but we should probably go towards it something could be happening" two Shinigami say using shunpo but then they see something high in the sky like a meteor "it's a hollow" one of them says
Quickly both of them defeat the hollow, before using soul burial "I don't think that immense spiritual pressure came from this hollow but I don't sense it anymore" they both sigh well it's no use looking since the person hid it
————————————————————
"Baa-Chan I'm back!" I say, Matsu quickly comes out scooping him up in his arms while she held him close "Kizuna! you worried me! When you hadn't come back I was assuming the worst" Kizuna feels his chest be fuzzy it's nice having someone care about him like that
But Kizuna quickly tries assuring her "Sorry Baa-Chan I was just wandering around nothing to be worried about I promise" she calms down a bit since we are in a good neighborhood but she gets worried easily about me, it's really nice
"Well okay but he careful now come eat, after that get washed up and ready for bed, Kizuna-Bō" "okay Baa-Chan!" Quickly I go to dinner I eat even more happily now since I'm a fullbringer! How cool is that? now I can protect myself
Not to mention who wouldn't love to have anime powers! "Mmm~ you seem rather joyful Kizuna-Bō" Kizuna just smiles at the question, eventually dinner comes to an end I quickly go and wash up, getting ready for bed with eagerness since I feel more confident than ever before
I happily hop on my Futon getting all comfortable with covers covering me, then grandma comes in "Kizuna-Bō ready for bed?" "Yes, Baa-Chan!" Matsu tucks him in stroking his hair "good night Kizuna-Bō may you have the best dreams" with that she plants a kiss on his forehead
Kizuna smiles happily at her "thank you Baa-Chan have sweet dreams, I love you" "I love you too Kizuna-Bō" with one last loving kiss she walks out going to her room as I lay there in my Futon thinking about my last life, thinking about everything that's happened, but now-now I think I know what I want it's something I've always wanted
Maybe in this life It will be better I mean it's a second chance maybe it's a second chance in bleach where I can die easily, nonetheless it's still a second chance I'm sure it will be better, it will I promise to myself and for the first time in my life both past and new I'm happy about tomorrow ecstatic even
With that I close my eyes looking forward to a new day, new chances, new opportunities.
