You don't really know or even understand why Aizen Sousuke and Gin Ichimaru came after you... What do they hope to gain from a human substitute soul reaper captain? You don't need to think about this whole thing right now anyway... Why? Because you're tied up like a damn dog on a chain. A special kind of rope has your hands tied together so casting any kind of kido is out of the question while a red collar is around your neck with a leash attached to it. Shoving your wandering thoughts from your mind you focus back on the task at hand. Pulling at the leash attaches to the collar around your neck once more. You growl low in anger because you're struggling to get away before Aizen decided to either steal you away or maybe even kill you. The little red collar is tight enough to dig into your skin slightly when you swallow or move your head but loose enough to not draw blood... yet. A strong jerk of the leash silences your struggles at the collar digs into your throat with enough force that the sensitive skin breaks causing a little trickle of blood to drip down. Aizen's voice scratches at your ear canals making you want to go deaf.

"Now you be a good little girl, (Name) and I won't have Gin kill off Ichigo and Kisuke's little lover." At the mention of Kisuke, she tries to stand but a hard tug and a few words from Aizen starts something. You've never felt anything like it before... Words cannot describe what is happening to you right now. It feels as if though your soul is being ripped apart, your spiritual pressure is being sucked from your body and the screams of your two zanpakuto are heavy and wild in your ears. The tears of the zanpakuto's anger, sorrow, and pain rattle your very soul. Reaching a shaky hand into your captain's haori, you pull out the two that has been hiding there. You open your pale pink lips to speak.

"I release you, Hikari. You are free." Your voice breaks at the end. Aizen tugs sharply at the collar screaming,

"No, I needed your powers!" He begins to suck your spiritual pressure again but this time? You do not struggle. You even have yet to shed tears... You do not notice your own pain; you notice only the pain of your friends; family. You look around... Who is that man? You stare at a man with long black hair that spikes all the way down past his lower back. Is your memory slipping? You feel you know everyone here but... What were their names again? Suddenly an angry voice begins to speak.

"Kisuke is going to kill me for letting this happen!" Your eyes wander up to lock (eye color) orbs with warm chocolate ones. The boy is hels down by Yoruichi, Chad, Soi-Fon and another man. Who is that other guy holding him down? Who is that other man? He yells again at the people holding him captive.

"LET ME GO! I promised Kisuke that I'd protect her at all costs!" The boy struggles ruthlessly under their powerful strength. You notice eyes widen and slightly cast a side glance at Ichigo before turning all attention back to Aizen and Gin. Some eyes rests on the unmoving body of Hikari while others travel to you yourself. The boy has silent tears streaming down his face, his eyes are burning with an angry fire and he claws at the ground with his hands as he tries to get away.

"Tell him I'm sorry and," Silent tears fall as you speak to Ichigo... Wait, how do you know this stranger's name?

"Also say that I'll be back as soon as possible." You stare intently at Ichigo with bright eyes.

"Please don't cry anymore, Ichigo... It pains me to see you so sad. I promised you that... Well you know our promise. I intended to keep it. No matter how long it takes or the distance it carries me.... Be happy, Ichigo." Then you smile a smile so bright it was as if the clouds had parted and you caught a glimpse of heaven. All the sadness and pain in your friends dulled slightly. Suddenly, Aizen decided to finish what he had started. Sucking the rest of your power, you begin to change. Your (length) (color) hair is a little lighter and longer, your outfit consisted of Blue Canyon River blue jeans, a Green Bay Packer T-shirt along with black flip flops. Aizen snaps the leash to the right and sends you flying across the dirt. You bounce a few times before coming to a stop on your stomach, eyes glazed over, breath gone from your body... Even all your soul reaper powers are gone from your now crumpled human form. As you slowly drift in and out of unconsciousness you think you hear someone yelling your name but you don't recognize the voice.

"(Name)!" The voice is like a whisper far away. But, you're too far gone to even think about anything anymore. You're falling into darkness so heavy that you think you're dead. Floating in the space in between life and death, or maybe it's the space between hell and heaven? You don't know. Floating through the air you feel a calm settle over you.

"If this is death, I regret nothing except that I did not get to say goodbye properly..." Then you were falling again and everything blanked...
