Ichigo’s P.O.V
“All right. Talk,” I said. I was growing impatient with Love and as far as I can tell so was everyone else.
“Where to begin?” Love said scratching his cheek, “I guess I can start with Azien.”
“What the hell does that bastard have to do with anything?” Ikakku asked. He was getting really irritated.
“Harley is a vizard, just like us,” Kensei said. Everyone in the room stared at him wide eye, no one knew that Harley was a vizard not even me.
“But wait I thought that you eight were the only ones that survived Aziens hollowfication experiment,” Rukia said.
“Yeah that’s what we thought, too until the day we met Harley. It was back about 80 years ago or so we were all training because at first we didn’t really know how to completely control our hollows. Harley came and introduced herself and explained to us who she was. At first none of us wanted to believe Harley or even trust what she was saying, that is until she showed us her hollow mask. Apparently Harley was Aziens first hollowfication test subject, he changed her on her 19th birthday, almost 200 years ago.”
“Wait a minute how old is Harley?” Shuhei asked. Everyone was now staring at the vizards, Kisuke, Yourichi, Tessi, Jenta, and Ururu, waiting for them to explain. I mean, I knew that Harley was old, but I didn’t know how old she was.
“Harley is 450 years old or so,” Shinji said. The room grew even more quite, if that was even possible.
“Wow king looks like Harley is older than even I expected,” Hichigo chuckled.
“Are you serious? She can’t be that old,” Renji said in disbelief.
“Yeah well she is so deal with it,” Hyori said.
“Back to what I was saying,” Love began again, “Harley taught all of us how to control our inner hollows and such. As we all grew closer and closer to Harley, we learned a lot of terrible things that had happened to her. Harley's father hated Harley, he hated her for being a girl. Harley's father wanted a son, but instead he got Harley. When Harley was born her mother had a lot of complications concluding to a c-section, which in the end caused Harley's mother the ability to never have kids again. Harley's father couldn’t stand that, even though he loved his wife he hated women. For what reason I do not know, none of us know. Harley's father abused Harley's mother and Harley greatly, he even sexually abused Harley, thinking that maybe she could give him what he wanted, a son. One time Harley almost died because her father was beating on her mother so badly that he almost killed her and Harley got in the way, protecting her mother. Harley's family and Azien's family were neighbors, actually Harley's father and Azien's father were best friends. Harley's father worshipped Azien because he was a boy and he saw him as the son he could never have. Anyways, on Harleys 19th birthday they were celebrating it, little did Harley know that her father and Azien were planning something, Harley's hollowfication. Harley's father was researching it and asked Azien to help him in his studies, they didn’t get too far though, not as far as Kisuke here. But they concluded that maybe there was a way to break the barrior between the soul reaper and the hollow within them. So Harley's father made Harley his first test subject, which succeeded I might add. They also used Harley's mother as one as well, but that didn’t end too well. After they were done with their research they killed Harley's mother, and tried to kill Harley, but she was too powerful and got away. ” Nobody said anything, I don’t think that anybody could at this point.
“And that’s why Harley never likes celebrating her birthday,” Kensei added. Which now that we all think about it, it makes perfect sense. The last time we tried to get Harley to celebrate her birthday it ended up with her locking herself away for two weeks.
