Bleach, Loving Star (3rd Book)

Chapter 24: Heaven

-Misana p.o.v-

They'll die.. mom and dad will die?!

"W-wait, grandmother I don't even know where they are or anything and you're saying they might still be alive?!"

I said and she only gave a look as she came at me with her blade, and I quickly grabbed mine as well blocking her, she had a serious look, i must have triggered her somehow, or she's testing my strength! as her blade which had blue markings on it clashed with mine, which was pure white with a light pink ribbon and the handle being wrapped in white bandage, grandmother gave a smile as she pressed against my blade and I jumped back to gaze at her smile more.

"My mother was the heaven child, and trained me with the sword you hold now, it brings back memories Misana."

She said and I widened my eyes to look down at my sword giving a almost wind sound as I then smiled as well.

"Grandmother, do you think I'll be as powerful as she was?"

I asked and she held her sword up and smiled at me.

"Every heaven child is different, but you want to protect your brothers and love them until your demise, my mother did as well, but.."

I heard her trail off and I gave a questioned look as I walked closer to her.

"But what?"

"She couldn't protect them from each other."

She said giving a frown as I stared at her.

"Grandmothe-"

I blinked and she was gone, I looked around and saw nobody but my brother training in the distance as I frowned.

"-you were asking the wrong person, child, now chin up!"

I looked behind me to see a woman, she had long grey curly hair that had little bits of red in it, she had a white kimono on that had yellow flowers and regular sandals, she looked aged enough and had light brown eyes.

I tilted my head and she had a sword on her hip that looked, similar to mine! The carvings of the sheath and the ribbon everything!

"W-what do you mean, I'm getting so confused, who are you now, ?!"

I asked in frustration and she pointed to my blade which I held up and was in stance.

"I, was the last heaven child, before you, Rosa Hitsugaya."

She said in her soft voice and I let my eyes stare as she paced forward, her wrinkles had begun to ware off and her hair turning bright red as her shoulders lifted, and her once frail skin and bone hands turned full, and as pale as the fresh fallen snow, but her face became more youthful as her lips went from a chapped grey, to a full red, and her cheeks gave off a shine as her dimples showed, from a woman knocking on deaths door, to almost looking my age, but how..?!

"H-how did you, a-weren't you-"

I asked studdering and she gave a smile with her perfectly straight teeth that were pristine.

"I have long passed, but I can say this much, I can alter myself to any age, but in this condition. I can train you better with my body and age that are on your level, now, I want you to come at me with all the strength that you have been training with , Misana."

She said as she gave a stern look and was quick, she had unsheathed her sword and our swords clashing against eachother, I could hear my blade, it gave a call out to me, as if it were confused as well, only it tried to hang on to my connection with it more, the pink ribbon wrapped around my arm for reassurance as I pushed her away, with me panting and her a couple yards away she gave narrow eyes at my blade.

"Misana, have you not yet asked the heaven sword for its trust?"

She asked and I gave a questioned look as it held on tighter.

"What do you mean of course-"

I started but then I heard a whispering from my blade as I looked at the it.

"Misana, the heaven sword is a sword that loves, protects, and trusts. when the sword is in distress or tries to show, it's ribbon of fate will hold on to the wielders arm until the fight is done, and you must establish a connection."

She said and I stared at the blade that held tightly, as I then looked up at her the whispering got clearer

'Do what you must, to protect what you love.'

I heard it repeat, and it became almost a ring, i know i have to, but to make a connection with you would mean opening my mind and heart, which must be pure. but now.. i can't.

My body and mind can't even communicate with each other correctly, and she expects me to obviously make up my mind, to have this sword know all of my sorrow. all of my anger that i hold into my own heart. i'm trying so much to not let anyone in.

"Misana, make the connection, now!"

She yelled as her hand was held up and all I did was fall back to sleep, my body feeling like a heavy weight as it hit the ground and my eyes closing while my hand kept its grip on the heavenly sword.

"Misana, you're finally here, what a relief!"

I heard and once again, like in the field my eyes opened but I saw I was on soft material, clouds.

And I saw they were everywhere, as well as a tree in the distance with a bunch under it. but I saw next to me was, Mimi !

She had long pink hair with a pink and black kimono and her one red and one hazel eye, she has the kindest smile I can think of.

"Mimi, I'm so Sorry, I left you alone didn't i?"

I asked as I sat up and she shrugged her shoulders while laughing

"It's no problem, although someone wants to see you."

I looked questioned as I saw another woman, she had a white flower kimono with a red ribbon in her hair, as she had a petite figure she had a kind face as her hair was in a long ponytail, her hair went to her hips. and her eyes were light blue, almost as the skies that were above us.

"Misana, I must say, you're now at the age where I show you the true power that lays inside of the blade of heaven, to fight by your brother, and see what fate does now."

She said and my eyes widened, as she was about to say more.

"Where to begin."

It was Mamorou, the heaven sword.
