New Beginning

Chapter 1

The sound of metal hitting metal fill the air, it came with the copper scent of blood that soak the ground and walls. Smoke curl and drifted through rooms. The castle was besieged and its guardians giving a last ditched effort to retake their home. The King and his three sons a spread throughout the huge palace. The eldest, Kaien a twenty year old male with short black spikey hair standing about 5’9, was with their father defending the throne. The second eldest, Shiro a completely white male with gold on black eyes with matching long white hair tied into two tails stood about 6’0, was in the court yard pushing the invaders into the archer’s line of fire. The youngest by a few minutes and twin to Shiro, Mugetsu long black hair male with red eyes a bit shorter than his twin but just as fierce in his fighting, had found his mother the Queen Masaki and was trying to get her and her ladies in waiting to safety.

It looked like everything was going in their favor when their allies joined the battle. Kisuke and his student Aizen, both mages, threw their magic at those who would get pass Shiro and his elite group the Espada. While Kaien’s and King Isshin’s elite, the Vizards, took on the invaders outside the palace. The skies are lit up in many colors as spells go off sending any who were caught up in the shock waves flying. Shiro had his back against his friend and knight Grimmjow, both created a circle of death as bodies piled up around them.

“Heh, that’s ten for me.” The blue hair man laugh out his muscle frame overshadowing his prince. A man that only shows his loyalty to those who deserve it but still can be a pain in the ass even to those he calls friends.

“Oh, I think ya need to recount there kitty. I already have fifteen.” Shiro playfully shot back. Earning him another laugh.

“Don’t worry I’ll catch up soon. Yuki-onna.” Adding the last bit and grinning at the scowl on his Prince’s face.

“It would be appreciated if you two could focus more on the battle then on each other.” Came the voice of one the only two females in Shrio’s elite. Neliel a buxom woman with long sea green hair and a red birthmark across her face that only adds to her allure. She is known to be sweet but if someone angers her she can be a real terror.

“Aw come on Nell, it’s just a bit of fun.” Grimmjow joked

“All’s fun and games till you find your head staring at your ass.” Came her sarcastic reply.

“She got ya there Grimm.” Shiro shouted

“Shut up.” Grimmjow shot back, taking the head of one of the fighters in front of him.

The fighting continues well into the early dawn, the defenders striking down the last of the invaders. Shiro meets up with is father and Kaien. They wait for Mugetsu to arrive but a terrifying scream echoes throughout the castle.

“Masaki!” Shouts the King.

He barrels past his sons and knights racing towards his wife. The sight he comes upon will be branded in his mind forever. His youngest son laying near dead in his wife arms, a hole through his chest. His wife is weeping as his other son’s race into the chamber. Kaien stares in disbelief while Shiro sinks to his knees. Isshin kneels down next to Mugetsu, taking his hand into his. His son’s breaths come in short gasp but the fire in his eyes still lingers.

“d-d-dad,” came his soft voice, “please don’t c-cry.”

“My son don’t talk, save your strength.”

“T-t-t-to late, I k-know I’m d-dying.” Mugetsu takes another gasp of air, “please d-don’t w-worry. I w-will come b-back one d-day.”
“
Gestu.” Called Shiro, “Ya can’t leave. I won’t allow ya to leave.” Tears spill out of the white prince eyes falling onto his brother’s face. He grips his twin’s clothes in a white knuckle grip.

“S-Shiro, t-take care of everyone.”

“Didn’t ya hear me? Ya ain’t leaving!” Shiro cries out desperately, his hands grasping his brother’s cold ones.
Mugetsu only smiles at his twin before looking at his older brother.

“W-watch over everyone K-Kaien.” He smiles. His brother numbly nods trying his best not to cry as he forces a smile upon his lips.

The Queen takes her youngest son into her arms and starts to sing a lullaby she knows that soon he will slip away but she holds onto her baby tightly hoping that her embrace keeps him tied to his mortal body. His breathing now labored coming even more quickly. It isn’t long when his once strong chest stills, his body going limp

A wail is hear throughout the castle followed by cries and screams from the royal family. The surviving knights know that something has happen to one of the Princes to cause such a sound. When Kaien comes out several people are shock still at the news. Women weep for the fallen Prince and his grieving family. Men silently send prayers to help the young man find his way to the afterlife.

It’s the next day the royal family lays its youngest in the tombs. The Kingdom weeps and the skies let a drizzle of rain fall. With heavy hearts the people and the family began to rebuild what can be rebuilt and try to move on. Isshin and the Queen send their own prayers hoping that the Gods will grant them their one wish.
