(Ichihime) My heart beats for you

A Past She Wishes to Forget (8)

Ichigo slammed his fist on the table. "No way! Any person even associated with Aizen is bad news!" Ichigo yelled, his anger at it's boiling point.

Orihime quickly stood. "Hold on, Ichigo," she said sweetly, "we need to hear what she has to say for herself." She turned towards Mei. "Please Tell us."

Mei nodded and looked into Ichigo's eyes.

As the sun shone on a perfect day, Mei ran outside to greet her mother, Lily Aizen, and her father, Sosuke Aizen. The two were sitting near a pond enjoying some bread, feeding some to the ducks that swam by. Mei ran up, a large smile on her pale face. She always enjoyed feeding the ducks, but she disliked the annoying quacking that vibrated throughout her head.

Lily noticed and knelt down to meet the girl's level. "Hello, Mei," she said in a calm voice. "How are you?"

"I'm fine, mommy." She grinned. "I just wanna feed the duckies and play with daddy!"

Aizen smiled. "Here, Mei," he said and handed her a piece of bread. She took it and outstretched her arm so the duck could eat it more easily. The duck ate it, startling Mei a little. Aizen and Lily chuckled, and Mei laughed.

"Now, May, go play while me and your father talk."

"But, mommy," Mei whined.

Lily frowned, and Mei followed her command. Aizen watched her leave, a scowl appearing on his face. "What now, Lily?"

~Six Years Later~

Mei was now eleven years old, and was beginning to train with her newly obtained Zanpakuto. "Are you sure I'm old enough, dad?" Mei asked as she examined the beautiful blade.

"Of course. It isn't too hard, Mei. Many Soul Reapers learn how to use their Zanpakuto at a young age." Aizen smiled. "Now, show me our progress," Aizen said as he pointed at the dummy. (A/N AKA Renji Abarai)

Mei held her Zanpakuto in front of her with two hands firmly wrapped around the handle. Aizen and her have been training on how to use her Shikai, but she still had some trouble.

"Break Their Bones, Oyasumi." Once the words were uttered, a thousand crimson petals appeared, obscuring the sun into temporary darkness. Her blade raised high, she threw her sword down, the petals following, and sliced the dummy in half. (A/N OH, NO!!! RENJI!!!)

Aizen smiled in satisfaction. "Good."

~Four Years Later~

Mei stared into the room with horror. Corpses leaking fresh blood were spread throughout the room, and standing in the middle was Sosuke Aizen. She couldn't believe it, not now, not ever.

"F-father," she said, her hands shaking and her body shaking.

Aizen turned around and stared into his daughter's eyes. "Ah, Mei, just in time to join me."

Mei's terrified demeanor was replaced with a furious scowl. "What the hell do you mean!? I will never join you!" she yelled and ran out, the tears falling from her crimson eyes were made of hatred and sorrow. She knew that, one day, she'll get her revenge.

"That's what happened. Do you believe me?"

Uryu scowled and yelled, "No! We don't know if you're lying or not! We can't trust you, so leave."

"W-what?" Mei said rather quietly.

Uryu grabbed Mei's arm and pulled her out, pushing her from Orihime's apartment. "Stay away from us, if you know what's good for you." And he slammed the door in her face. Apparently, her revenge would never come.
