Tears of confession [Bleach]

Act II: Hanatarou.

Hanatarou:

Weeks had passed since my confrontation against Kurosaki-san. I'm still as confused as I was before, there were too many things that did not fit.

She is as powerful as you could get, easily taichou level but she was not even a shinigami.

Then the fact that she was The Man Killer, who from what I've heard was a ruthless killer with a cold heart... things that she was not. Not to mention that The Man Killer was the protector of the weak, such avenger would have never left her territory just like that. Not even when the Gotei 13 was after her did she try to escape, only when Renji-taichou hunted her down did she leave.

She was also big sister of the most powerful substitute shinigami in history, one that tended to act before he thinks. A behavior that's a common trait in the Kurosaki family, but she has still not shown. Which makes me wonder what happen in her past that makes her double think before she acts.

She is also a very beautiful woman, sweet, kind, motherly like, thoughtful of other's feelings, smart and honest... or at least most of the time. She could also be vindictive, sneaky, sly, cruel, flirty and secretive.

As if there were two different Kurosaki-san in one body... THAT'S THE BIG SECRET!!! SHE HAS A SOUL PERSONALITY DISORDER!

It kind of fits, giving more sense to the whole ordeal. I thought. It would explain why someone so loyal and such a defender of life and justice while alive would turn into such a vindictive bitch after dying. It is rare, but not unheard of souls being broken... tainted after a violent death. But that does not explain why Kurosaki-san was so afraid of Renji-taichou finding out about it. They are pretty close, I'm sure Renji-taichou has already found out about it. The only way to find out about it is taking him but first I need Kurosaki-san to leave.

As if Kami-sama heard my prayers, Ichigo-san stood up and said: "Onee-chan, would you like to patrol with me?" in such a puppy like manner that I could almost see the tail waggling and ears flapping down.

Kurosaki-san being the loving big sister she is, she simply smiled warmly and answered sweetly: "Of course, ma petit fraise".

Once I was sure they had left, I hastily got to Renji-taichou's side and said: "Taichou, I believe I had just found out something about Kurosaki-san"

"Hiromi? What about her?" he replied, eyebrows frowning.

"Have you noticed that she has a soul personality disorder? I know it's rare, but when a someone..." I was cut off by Renji-taichou immediately.

"... has a violent death they can develop such a thing. I know, ah" he sighed "She indeed has such a sickness"

Then I was right, this is not what Kurosaki-san wants to keep silent and unknown from Renji-taichou. Then what's her lie? What's her secret?! I exclaimed in my head.

I normally do not intrude in people's lives, I respect the right everyone has to their privacy but somewhat I could not let this go- not even after Kurosaki-san threatened to kill me if I continued my research. Whatever she is hiding is important to this mission or at least to The Zodiacs' plans.

But WHAT IS IT?!

"She was killed because she sacrificed herself for me. She is like this right now because of me... something I will never forgive myself of" he confessed, making me whip my head towards him.

That night! That's the key to whatever she is hiding. It all goes back to that night... but there's where the problem lays. During these weeks I've noticed the power of her zampaktou Syrena, she can control people's minds with it, their emotions. Renji-taichou believing such an incomplete and inconsistent story simply solidified my belief that Kurosaki-san modified his memories of that night. Which lead me to believe that she woke up her zampaktou while she was still alive and whoever they fought that night was not a weak hollow... but a very strong opponent. But I still had many blanks in between facts. I thought.
