Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rhia had considered visiting the vaizards. She'd considered going back to the Seireitei for a few quick goodbyes. But that didn't feel right. She wanted a clean break from all of this. She needed something that wasn't Japan, wasn't the Gotei, wasn't a constant battle against the hollows and arrancar.

I just want quiet. She fanned her wings-- she still had them extended, reveling in the freedom of flight she had regained-- wanting to be off. Feiy had told her once of a small town a couple miles outside of Mazatenango, Guatemala. Feiy had been born there many, many years ago, and it was there that Rhia was headed first. She didn't have a concrete explanation for this destination, but it felt right and that was what mattered.

But it felt wrong to leave like this, though, when a majority of the people whom she cared about didn't even know of her rebirth. And of course the one she cared about the most was gone.

Well... Not truly gone, but sleeping in the form of a butterly, dormant and fragile. Rhia ached for the day when Feiy's soul would decide to return to mortal form, for the day when she could hold her in her arms again. That ache would never go away. She knew that. But perhaps over the years she might come to accept it with grace rather than sadness.

But that all seemed like such a distant future. Right now there was only today and this last glimpse of Karakura Town before she went on her way.

Torsin was sitting in a nearby cemetery in front of his mother's grave when a large shadow flew past him, looking up to the sky Torsin who was now blind had to rely on his reaitsu sense to see who it was, but as of late he had been learning to see how Kurai had, so far he could only see faint auras of people, but still it was better then nothing at the moment, but Torsin didn't need any of that to know who the shadow belonged to."Rhia!"He yelled choking up on all the emotions that were welling up inside of him.It can't be I saw her reincarnation how can this be as he stood up, a looked at his mother's grave."What should I do?"there was no need to ask as Torsin alreadt knew what his mother would say."Do what you think is right."

Walking past the grave stone he ran his hand on it before he disappeared with a soft swish,"Rhia!"He yelled again appearing behind that."Rhia is that really you."for a brief moment Torsin lost all control of his reaitsu, and for once he truly blind, and it scared him, he couldn't see a thing, and this caused him to panic, Torsin may be 25, but he still had the mind of a fifteen year old sometimes."I can't see you, where are you, I can't see you."Torsin cried out, panicking , his heart full of fear, he was so full of fear, he didn't notice the man beside Rhia, as he was not paying attention to his other senses.

((Indeed...he did die POR QUE!?))

Takeshi rubbed his cheek against her head. "I suppose." Takeshi said with his warm smile. "I did die..." And he knows it.

Takeshi doesn't remember why he was brought before Rhia, it felt like a miracle seeing her again. It felt like just yesterday when he just died and turned to dust as he finally defeated his dark self.

Takeshi then hears a voice he has never heard before. He knows there won't be any time left. But he'll make every second count for the best of them.

"It wasn't your fault that I died Rhia. I had to die in order to protect you and everybody else. You got stronger Rhia and you're still beautiful the last time I saw you." Though he knew what happened to her as she turned into Sara in Hueco Mundo. With his realm already disappearing into mist and his body already turning into the sand of his realm, his time was already up with Rhia. "I never had the chance to say this to you Rhia, but..." . He turns to her and kisses Rhia on the lips. Takeshi brushes his hand on her back, and the other brushing her soft hair. "I love you. Remember that..." He regretted not saying that he loved her before he disappeared. He regretted it terribly. He regretted not telling his true feelings to her, and wondered what would've happened if he was still alive. He remembered the first time they sparred togething in Squad 2. He remembered every scar that he gave her as he lost control. He remembered the time she saved him. He remembered every smile, every breath, everything about her like he was alive.

And with that said the last strand of Takeshi fell into the rest of his realm, breaking the illusion...

As he felt Rhia's hand touch his Torsin seemed to calm, down his reaitsu settled, allowing him to see, in the hues of reaitsu, though faintly he could see a purple aura around Sara, just seeing her brought a surge of happiness and sorrow, in Torsin's heart, it had been so long since he had seen her, to long, and the pain of losing her had made those days seem even longer, he felt as if her death was all his fault if only he had been their maybe he and Kurai could have saved her, just maybe they could have taken down Troix.

"I can't believe your here how."He said tears welling up in his left eye, his only eye, but it was blind, he had no right eye, it had been cut out by an arrancar, as he stood there Rhia's hand in his, all he wanted right now was her forgiveness for leaving her to die, for leaving Kurai alone to deal with the pain.

"I've been better."defectively a frown on his face, sorrow in his eye, pain in his heart."Everything went to hell when you left, Kurai left, I'm blind, and now I can't ask for forgiveness from Kurai, and I thought I could never ask for forgiveness from you."Torsin started a tear rolling down his cheek."If only only I didn't leave maybe nothing would have change, if I was their we could have saved you, but I wasn't their and you died, Kurai blamed herself for your death, but it wasn't her fault it was mine!"Torsin yelled his words lined with hatred , right now he hated himself for leaving, leaving Rhia to die, leaving Kurai to deal with the pain alone, he had been selfish and he was now paying the price, a just price he thought, or was it he didn't know he was just so confused he couldn't make head or tails of anything.

"Please forgive me, I didn't mean to leave you to die, I didn't want anything like that to happen, I didn't think it would be like this."Torsin said, as tears just started streaming down his face, and some of those tears were tears of blood, which came from his right eye.

"Why?"Torsin asked."Why did you let yourself die, why did you leave us, we needed you."Torsin mumbled, turning his gaze to the ground avoid eye contact with Rhia completely."I was left all alone first you left, the Kurai, I was utterly alone, no one was their to help me, no one to understand me, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS LIKE."he yelled his body trembling all over."Maria, and hitosuhoshi tried to understand, but they couldn't they tried to comfort me but they couldn't I fought to protect, but those I wanted to protect left one, by one, my heart is growing black with pain, and I can't stop it, no can."

"I have been shattered so many times, each time I loss part of myself, I'v been shattered to many times, I don't even know who I am anymore, I'm so confused tell me what do I do, what do I do tell me that!"Torsin fell to his knees , and ever so slowly a dark evil, made it's move, reaching for Torsin's weakened heart.

"I understand all to well, the one person you loved the most was far away from you, you couldn't feel her touch, couldn't feel her love, don't say I don't understand that because I DO!."Torsin screamed with fury as he all of the sudden stood up and gripped Rhia, by her upper arms with both hands, I rarely she the woman I love, rarely feel the warmness of her skin against mine, I won't be their to see my son grow up, I can't be their for my FAMILY, SO DON"T YOU SAY I DON"T UNDERSTAND NOT BEING WITH THEM FEELS LIKE A PART OF ME IS GONE!"Torsin anger kept on rising, and his grip in turn became stronger.

"So deal with it, living is meant to be tough, and dieing is meant to be easy that's how it works, so don't take the easy way out, that doesn't help anyone not you, or the ones you care for."Torsin said his voice becoming calmer, his grip weakening.

"Pain flows through me as if it were my blood, I understand pain, more then a man should know about it."Torsin said turning his back on Rhia, "If you want leave go ahead I'm not going to stop you, it's not my place to do that."taking a step forward, and then another one, he kept on going forward not looking back, then he stopped he turned is head to face Rhia."I thought you and Kurai would always be their, but I was wrong."

As he started to walk forward again he tripped, and as he fell he didn't try to stop himself from falling, he just let himself hit the the street hard, slowly he got back up, blood streaming down his face, he showed no feeling of the pain, that should have been caused, he was numb to pain, and that to some made his not human."I hope you don't become like me,I hope don't become numb to the pain, it's worse then death."
