He can't be gone...

Chapter 1- The fallen

Chapter 1

Saline looked up, she felt her body go numb as she saw the cloaked figure fall down from the top of the fifty story building. She felt all of her emotions that she had hidden so well, break out and unleash. "GIN.!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, tears streamed down her face as she watched her brother fall down besides the building's wall. Saline couldn't help but flash step underneath her falling brother. As he got closer to the young Captain, she could feel her own tears streaming down her face, faster and harder then before, leaving a tear stained path down the pale white skin on her face. Her icy blue eyes had started to redden and her head started to pound. She was actually crying hard, without realizing it. Saline closed her eyes for only a swift moment, and jumped up, heading towards her brother as he fell towards the ground. As she got in arms reach of him, she grabbed him, wrapping her arms around his limp, lifeless body. 

Since he had fallen more then thirty stores, the force from gravity pulled Saline down with him. Her attempt to catch him had failed, all she could do now was basically hold on to him and hit the ground with him or try to stop the force of gravity. She looked down at her brother, his silver hair was now matted with blood, from a cut that was pouring out blood on the side of his face. His skin was  so pale and so cold. She closed her eyes, only for a moment, when she opened them, she saw her tears on his skin. She gently shook her head, causing her tears to fall even harder. She gently moved around her brother, placing her self underneath him, his back to her. She looked down and saw the blood smears from her brother on her Captain's coat, she gently sighed. She wasn't going to let her brother hit the ground,if he even had a chance of living. Saline sighed, she knew he was dead, she couldn't feel his Spiritual Pressure, she couldn't even feel his life force. Saline looked gently over her shoulder and saw that the ground was getting closer, but she wasn't even going to try to stop them from hitting the ground. She knew that if she hit the ground she might die as well, she didn't want to think about living with out her brother.

Saline's whole life flashed in front of her eyes, from the day she first learned to talk and to the point in time now. She saw herself as a child, being held in Gin's arms and even in Lieutenant Kira's arms. She watched herself, as Gin and she trained day after day, hour after hour, him teaching her to become a great Soul Reaper. She saw the day that Gin told her to call upon her Zanpakuto, she watched herself sitting there for what felt like hours only to get no results. Then she saw the day her and Gin were sparing. As he called upon his Zanpakuto, releasing it's Shikai, Saline saw her little fragile self call upon her Zanpakuto.

"Rise Shi No Tenshi.!" She heard her voice echo threw out her head, as she watched the Spiritual Pressure of the little girl rise. The Icy Blue flames licking out out at Gin, and even engulfing her and her Zanpakuto. She saw her own Zanpakuto transform, from just a normal 3 inch wide blade, to something that was beautiful yet deadly at the same time. The hilt was gold, on the hilt was a Angel, dressed in a black Haori, the guard was gold, it stretched about two inches out then turned into a point towards the tip, there was black vine like wrapping around the guard, it had embroidery on it that read "To the Hollows that are killed by this blade, to the people that are saved, to the lives that are lost and to the pain that is caused, I am forever the Angel Of Death."

The blade its self was amazing, it was a silvery black that sparkled in the moon light, it's tip was curved like a scythe would be, it looked so sharp, so evil. And yet so beautiful at the same time. Everything faded to black, the next thing she saw was the day she was promoted from Sixth Seat of the Third Division to the Lieutenant of Squad Two. She saw herself standing next to her brother Gin and Captain Soi Fon, with Head Captain Yamamoto in front of them. Saline had noticed that the little girl she had seen just moments before was now a beautiful young lady. Her Zanpakuto was on her right hip, the sheath was shimmering it's self as the sun light reflected off of it. As Saline studied her younger self she noticed a few things. The younger Saline didn't have her platinum blonde hair up in a high pony-tail, she didn't have the black veil that covered half her face and neck on, and her eyes shimmered with so much emotion, so much joy. 

Once again, darkness faded in and all she felt was pain. A tightening in her chest, took over, her eyes stung from the tears she felt. The next thing she saw was when Gin went rouge.  Just as she leaped at his throat, she felt the pain in her stomach from where Shinso had ripped threw her abdomen, sticking straight threw, to the other side of her back. Saline felt the pain radiate all over her body, her mind trying to keep her calm, but her body telling her to just kill him, it was only natural for your body to do what it was trained for. She had to do her duty as a Lieutenant, even if Gin was her brother. Saline felt the blood that had built up in throat start to leak from her lips. The red crimson color stained the pale girls skin, the thick syrup liquid fell slowly down from her mouth, trailing all the way down her neck. She felt her hand sort of relax, but she tightened her grip before dropping her Zanpakuto. the last thing she wanted to do was drop the only thing that could save her. As she brought the point of her Zanpakuto to Gin's eye level, she smirked, blood still dripping out of the corner of her lips. She could feel that it was getting hard to breath, the blood that couldn't escape out of her throat was now falling down into her lungs, cutting off all of her air passages. She felt all the emotion drain out of her body, she felt no pain, so remorse, not even a single drop of hatred for her brother. 

The words just slipped out of her mouth, " Bankai, Rise Shi No Tenshi, Your no kami." [Translated into: Rise, Angel Of Death God Of The Night.] Saline's Icy Blue Spiritual Pressure licked out every where, shooting straight up into the bright blue sky in a think beam of light and force. Saline felt as if it was easier to breath, like all the blood that was choking her, had just disappeared. Gin's lip curled, as he looked up, he saw the sky start to turn a dark purple and the clouds turn a dark gray. The beam of energy pulsed, and the clouds started to swarm around the icy blue beam.
