PLEASE READ THE REVISED VERSION ON MY PROFILE WITH THE SAME NAME!! :) This is the old crap version of Strive that I'm only leaving to remind me of where my writing was nearly a decade ago when I first wrote this. So PLEASE, the other one is so much better, I beg you. ;_; After being locked in the lowest cell of the Maggot's Nest for over a hundred years, Abaron Kakaku is retrieved by Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi and Lieutenant Nemu Kurotsuchi, under the orders of the Head Captain and Central 46. Their orders were to restore the memories that were taken from her when the incident including the Hollowfication experiments occurred. Now that her sentence is up, Abaron is considered a free-woman. But when a choice made over a hundred years ago comes to haunt her in the present, her considerations are no longer valid. © Bleach | Tite Kubo © Strive | nicevibe ------------------------------------------ TheBleachWattyAwards | "Ichigo Kurosaki", First Place Winner

Obviously not a story, but I felt like being smart for once in my life and share with you all that I know about the human body (which might not be much, working from the top to the bottom. I don’t know, but ever since I heard about Leonardo Di Vinci’s work on the first out-layed diagram, I’ve been interested in it. So I’ll dedicate this knowledge to you, my other incredibly-intelligent readers, in the hopes that you use it to cheat—I mean study—your way to greatness—or an ‘A’ on your Science paper. Oh, and yes, I do know BIG WORDS. All other researched facts come directly from this lovely website to my right; www.innerbody.com , where half of the information you see in the following parts were prepared specifically by Tim Taylor for that site. Thanks, and I hope you pass your next test!
