Chapter 11: The Moonlight's Sorrow
Beginning of Double Flashback
8 Years Ago
Gekkou's POV
The moon was shining brightly tonight.
As the beautiful moonlight beamed down upon our dark average-sized house, I was awakened from my sleep by him crying. I got up out of my average-sized bed and walked into his bedroom.
As I walked into his bedroom, I saw that he immediately ceased crying and started giggling.
''So you woke me up just because you want me to play with you? Couldn't you have waited until morning?'', I said drowsily.
He responded by giggling.
I yawned and said, ''Fine, I'll play with you for five minutes.''
Then I took him out of his crib and held him in my arms. I began to tickle him mercilessly, and he began giggling non-stop. ''This is 'punishment' for you waking me up in the middle of the night, baby brother.''
Despite me saying that, I couldn't help smiling. Because my baby brother always made me smile.
After tickling him to death, I finally said to him, ''Ok, it's time for you to go back to sleep.''
As I tried to put my baby brother back into his crib, he protested by crying again.
''Oh come on, why do you have to be so stubborn?'', I groaned. ''Fine, fine, I'll play with you a little bit more.''
I took my baby brother back into my arms and began to spin him around. He began to giggle again, and this time I couldn't help but laugh with him.
After ten minutes of doing this, I finally stopped and said, ''Ok, that's enough for tonight. We both need to go back to sleep.''
As soon as I tried to put him back into his crib, he started protesting by crying AGAIN.
I sighed and rubbed my forehead in agitation. I see that it was going to be another one of THOSE nights.
''You are just not going to leave me alone tonight, are you baby brother?''
He continued crying.
''Ok, FINE. We will do THAT again tonight'', I groaned.
I took him up in my arms once again, and he began giggling again. As I held him in my arms, I carried him to a nearby wooden rocking chair which I sat down in.
I began gently rocking and he continued to giggle. ''So, you want me to sing THAT again, baby brother?'', I asked him while smiling.
He ''replied'' by giggling louder.
''Ok, ok, I'll sing that lullaby again.''
Then I began softly singing while rocking softly on the chair.
*''Hushabye, hushabye!
My good baby, sleep!
''Where did my brother's babysitter go?
Beyond that mountain, back to her home.
''As a souvenir for her home, what did you get?
A toy drum and a sho* flute.''
I continued singing my baby brother's favorite lullaby until he stopped giggling and slowly but surely closed his beautiful blue eyes and fell soundly asleep.
As I continued gently rocking, I kept looking down at my baby brother who was wearing a very small blue outfit. My favorite color is green due to my green eyes, but it looks like my baby brother will grow up to love blue.
My baby brother is noisy during many nights, and he might make me lose many nights of sleep; but I can't stay mad at him for long. Why? Because I love my baby brother, and taking care of him makes me happy.
As I continued staring at his cute face and began to fall asleep myself, I whispered a promise to him.
''Don't worry or be afraid. No matter what happens, I'll always be there to protect you...Izuru.''
A few hours later, I was awakened by a tug on my shoulders.
As I opened my eyes, I found out that tug belonged to my paternal grandfather, Kira Kage. Despite his old age, he looked younger due to the fact that he always kept his face clean-shaven and his white hair short.
Since Kira Kagekiyo and Kira Shizuka [who were mine and Izuru's parents] were rarely home since they are currently working in the 3rd Division as the 3rd Seat and 4th Seat repectively, my grandfather babysitted us sometimes when our parents were absent.
Kira Kage is the 3rd Seat of the 4th Division, and he was a genius when it came to healing Kido. Strangely, he was content staying as the 3rd Seat, claiming that he was ''too old'' to be at the top.
Which to me makes no sense when the Captain Commander makes him look a thousand years younger.
''Hey kid'', my grandpa said, ''it's about 10:00 A.M.-''.
''It's that late in the morning already!'', I whispered loudly.
''Izuru took up most of your time last night, didn't he?''
I looked at Izuru who was STILL sleeping even though he fell asleep HOURS ago. Well, I guess that's what you can expect from a one year old baby.
Living in Rukongai was usually peaceful, and we rarely have any trouble with other souls or any Hollow invasions, except for one small mystery...
''Gekkou, put Izuru in his crib and we need to discuss about a certain matter.''
I got out of the rocking chair as quietly as I could without waking Izuru up. I slowly crept over to the crib and gently put him down inside it.
Izuru was still sleeping like there was no tomorrow, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
After both me and my grandpa walked out of Izuru's room, Kage smiled.
''You are a really good brother to Izuru, Gekkou. I'm proud of you, grandson.''
I smiled back at him. ''Thanks grandpa. Now, what did you want to discuss with me?''
My grandpa's smiling face turned dead serious.
''Gekkou, as you may know, the number of souls mysteriously dissappearing has been greatly increasing daily. It disturbs me to know that the Gotei 13 are doing nothing to prevent this damn catastrophe.''
''I know grandfather, it's almost as if the Gotei 13 doesn't care about what's going on'', I replied bitterly.
''It seems that way, but perhaps the Captain Commander has been too busy these days to hear me out.''
''He's always busy'', I replied sarcastically while rolling my eyes.
''Now listen, Gekkou!'', my grandpa scolded me. ''The Captain Commander is a great man, you just have to realize that he is incredibly busy. Now apologize about what you said before I punish you!''
Sometimes my grandpa can be incredibly strict about the tiniest matters. I hanged my head and muttered, ''Sorry, grandpa''.
''That's better, Gekkou. Now here is what I wanted to discuss with you about. I have been keeping tabs on areas where the souls have been dissappearing the most, and I came across some intresting information.''
''What information, grandpa?'', I asked him with curiosity.
''There is a forest I found, it is called the Nakushita Forest. This is one of the areas where the most souls have been dissappearing at. According to the rumors, there is a mysterious being who wears a black robe and covers his face with a black hood. These same rumors say that this black-hooded stranger is the cause of all the souls' dissappearances.''
''One person is behind all these dissappearances?'', I asked stunned.
''Yes, even I have trouble believing these rumors myself. But it could very well be true. That's why today I am going to investigate the Nakushita Forest, and you are welcome to come with me.''
''But what about Izuru?'', I asked worringly.
My grandpa chuckled, ''You're always worrying about your brother, aren't you? Well, don't worry because I talked with your parents before they left to work in the 3rd Division early this morning. They told me they are going to take off work for the rest of the day starting at 11:00 A.M., that they will take care of Izuru, and that you can come with me.''
''Really! Sweet!'', I said with excitement.
''So, do you want to come with me to Nakushita Forest? I honestly think that it will be just another wildgoose chase, but it would do both us some good to go outdoors on this beautiful sunny day.''
''Yes, yes! I want to come with you, grandpa!'', I yelled.
''Shh, you will wake-''.
I began hearing an all too-familiar crying.
''-Izuru up'', my grandfather finished while he had his hand on his face.
''Ahh, crap. I got so excited I accidentally woke him up. I didn't mean to-.''
''It's ok, Gekkou. Your parents will be here in a few minutes to cheer Izuru up. Why don't we go say goodbye to him before we leave?''
''Sure'', I replied while smiling.
We walked back into Izuru's bedroom and he was bawling at the top of his lungs.
My grandpa picked him up and said, ''My, my, someone is noisy today. It's time for you to fly, little guy!''
Grandpa then began running across the room while holding Izuru up in the air. ''Now Izuru, repeat after grandpa, 'I'm flying, wheee!' ''
Izuru continued bawling.
''What? You don't want to fly today, Izuru? But you always loved to fly with grandpa! Ok then, how about I spin you around?''
My grandpa did just that, but Izuru continued to bawl.
''What? What's wrong, Izuru? Usually, you like playing with grandpa.''
''I think I have an idea what his problem is, grandpa'', I replied. ''Let me hold him for a minute.''
Grandpa looked at both me and Izuru confusingly and said, ''Fine, go ahead and see if you can calm him down.''
I took Izuru away from my grandpa and held him in my arms. He immediately began giggling.
''Well, well, looks like Izuru just wanted to see his big brother. He's grown quite attached to you'', my grandpa said while smiling.
''Yeah, he has'', I muttered.
I looked down upon Izuru's happy face and said, ''Hey Izuru, I promise we will be back.''
Izuru seemed to understood me and giggled even louder in response.
I put him back in his crib and this time he did not bawl.
''Well, shall we get going?'', my grandpa asked me.
''Sure, let's go!''
On the way out of Izuru's room, I turned my head to look at his smiling face one last time. I smiled, thinking we would return to see my baby brother again.
''Goodbye, Izuru'', I said while smiling at him. ''I promise we will see each other again.''
He replied by giggling.
I exited Izuru's room, then both me and my grandpa departed from our home.
Little did I know that would be the last time I ever saw Izuru.
We finally came to Nakushita Forest, and so far it looked like a normal forest.
''I don't see how this forest can contain someone so evil'', I said.
''I don't see either, Gekkou. But we need to find out if those rumors are true. Besides, looks can be deceiving.''
''That's true, grandpa.''
It was sunny and around noon when we finally entered Nakushita Forest. We began exploring the forest, finding nothing out of the ordinary except for two small caves.
Finally, around 6:00 P.M., my grandpa said, ''It looks like those rumors were false. I brought some food, so let's have a picnic together.''
''Ok!'', I replied with excitement.
We ate a delicious dinner together, and we were satisfied. But it was 7:00 P.M. by the time we finished eating our dinner, and it was pitch-black dark.
''I did not think that nightfall would occurred this early'', my grandpa muttered.
''I'm scared, grandpa'', I said while snuggling up to him.
''There's nothing to be afraid of, Gekkou. I will protect you and never allow harm to come to you.''
I felt safe being near my grandpa, and my fear melted away.
''Come on, Gekkou. Let's go home, I bet your brother and parents will be happy to see you.''
I smiled, I have not seen my parents in ages, so it would be nice to see them again.
I rarely saw my parents anymore because they worked in the Gotei 13 constantly and checked up on us a lot less than my grandpa did.
Of course I didn't mind, my parents were just trying to help the Gotei 13 out as much as they possibly can.
We began to depart from the forest and came near to the entrance that would lead us back outside of the forest.
I was walking ahead of my grandpa and I said cheerfully, ''Today has been a fun day, right grandpa?''
I sensed an odd shadowy presence behind me for a second, and the presence felt dark and foreboding. The presence quickly dissappeared as quickly as it appeared.
I turned around to check on my grandpa, ''Grandpa, did you sense that?''
My grandpa was gone.
''Grandpa?'' I began searching for him. ''Grandpa, where are you?''
I continued searching for him by going back deeper into the forest, and I began to panic.
''Grandpa? Come on, this is a bad joke. Stop screwing around!''
But I was lying to myself. I knew that someone has done something to my grandpa, it has to be that dark presence. But my grandpa is a Shinigami, nothing should be able to touch him...right?
Looking back now, I should have ran out of the forest, then find and tell my parents about this. But instead, I ran even deeper inside the forest looking for him like a helpless lost child.
I could hear the sound of rumbling thunder, a storm was coming.
''Grandpa!'', I began to wail. ''Where are you, grandpa!''
Rain began to pour down, and the wind began to howl. It was almost like nature was wailing along with me.
''GRANDPA!'' Tears began to trickle out of my eyes, ''Where are you, grandpa...''
I began to cry, but suddenly I rememeber something. My grandpa could be in one of the two small caves within this forest!
Remembering where the caves were, I ran as fast as I could. The raging storm did not slow me down in the slightest.
But I could barely see my surroundings due to the constant stream of raindrops and night's darkness, and I suddenly bumped my head against a low tree banch HARD.
I fell down on the ground, and blood began to trickle out of a gash on my forehead.
''Grandpa, where are you?'', was all that I managed to say before I lost consciousness.
In this sea of darkness, I heard a voice calling my name.
''Wake up, Gekkou.''
''Gekkou, snap out of it!''
Light returned to my world, and I looked around to see where I was.
I was in a cave, and I realize I was laying on a huge iron bed. I saw that there were a few incomplete gadgets lying around on the cave floor. It was almost like someone experimented in this room, but who?
''So you are finally awake, Gekkou.''
I sat upright on the iron bed and saw my grandpa sitting on the cave floor in a corner. He was alive!
''Grandpa! Y-You are alive! I'm so glad, I thought you were dead!''
''I might as well be dead, Gekkou.'', my grandpa retorted.
''I don't know what you mean by that, it's just you dissappeared and I was so worried that-.''
''Don't worry, Gekkou. You're safe, that's all that matters.''
''You're safe too, grandpa!'', I said while smiling.
''No, I'm not safe'', Gekkou said with a sorrowful look on his face.
I was confused, ''What do you mean you are not safe, grandpa?''
''It doesn't matter, I'm just glad you are still alive and safe. Now, go home.''
''Eh?''
''Go home, Gekkou. Get as far away from this forest as you possibly can.''
Now, I was confused and perplexed. ''That was a bad joke, right grandpa?''
I got off the iron bed and walked toward my grandpa...and he was shaking.
''I don't know what's wrong with you grandpa...but let's go home together.''
Then I noticed my grandpa no longer carried his Zanpakuto!
''Hey, where is your Zanpakuto?''
''That's...nothing you n-need to worry about, G-Gekkou.''
''But grandpa...''
My grandpa began to shake more violently, and he began to yell.
''Get out of here, Gekkou! Run away from this damn forest and cave! It's too late to save me, so save yourself!''
''But why, grandpa! Why do you want me to abandon you so much!''
Finally, I managed to get close enough to my grandpa in order to touch him. So I touched him on his left shoulder and said, ''I love you grandpa, there's no way I can abandon you.''
Grandpa begen to cry AND even shake more violently. He finally began muttering, ''I was...messed...with...by...a...black-hooded...man. He...s-said...h-he wanted...to...to...experiment...on...me. At...first...I...refused...but...he forced me to...o-obey...him...by sheer power. This...man...is...more...powerful...than some of the Gotei 13's...captains. He used a...strange glowing orb...to change me. He...said something...about...destorying the boundary...between Shinigami and Hollows. He said...that I was to be tested for that...purpose. I don't know how he did it, but he used that glowing orb...to attempt to change me into a Hollow. I can tell that I am slowly losing my mind because of what he did. He said that if the experiment should fail, that I would become insane and possibly turn into some...kind of a..mutated creature. It's like he has done this many times before.''
''What is his name!'', I yelled. ''Whoever did this to you must pay!''
''He never...reveal himself to me or told me his name. He is too powerful...for you anyway. He defeated me with only one punch, and he didn't even use his Zanpakuto to defeat me. Ironically, he stole my Zanpakuto after I was defeated.''
''That son of a bitch-.''
''Stop, Gekkou! You are the only one who can go back and tell your parents about this information! I will be dead in a few minutes anyway.''
''What do you mean you will be dead-.''
I never got to finish my sentence. Before I could say anything else, my grandpa let out an eardrum-shattering scream. I immediately took my hand off his left shoulder and ran back to near the entrance of that cave.
My grandpa continued screaming like he was in pain. He began to cease sitting still and started rolling around on the cave floor like a crazy dog.
I stood still near the cave entrance in pure shock, and I was beginning to wonder if what my grandpa said was the truth.
Suddenly, my grandpa stopped screaming and collapsed.
''Grandpa!''
I immediately ran over to him, and began to shake his body in an attempt to help him regain his senses.
''Grandpa, wake up...''
''Gekkou...''
I heard a voice and his lips moved, but did his voice sounded different?
''Yes, grandpa?''
''You are nothing but a piece of human trash!'', my grandpa bellowed.
Then he used his left hand to claw me on my right cheek, and blood began to trickle out of the gash on my cheek.
I was dumbfounded, why did my grandpa clawed me with hatred?
''Grandpa, why?'', I asked while I was sobbing.
My grandpa looked at me with hatred, then I realize something was dreadfully wrong. His former blue eyes were changing colors. His left eye was yellow like a Hollow's, and his right eye [including his pupil] was slowly turning bloodshot red.
Then it dawned on me, and reality sunk in. My grandpa was slowly turning into a monster.
With no other option, I began to run. I tried to run out of the cave, but my grandpa managed to block the cave entrance with a speed I never thought he possessed before.
''There's no escape for you, brat! The Master has specific instructions for me, and I intend to accomplish his desires!''
The Master? Is he referring to that black-hooded bastard?
I realize that my grandpa has lost his mind, that's what he meant by ''dying''.
Somehow, that black-hooded bastard ''killed'' my grandpa.
''Don't you recognize me, grandpa? It's your grandson, Gekkou!''
I was panicking, and I was in deep sorrow because of what was happening to my precious grandpa.
''Grandson!'', my grandpa sneered. ''I have no grandson, you damn brat!''
Then my grandpa roughly took my right hand and threw me on the iron bed.
''I see that you are a stupid little brat. Well, I have just the 'perfect punishment' for you.''
Then my ''grandpa'' began to search among the incomplete gadgets and found something horrifying that I have never seen before, a huge chain whip.
I began to realize what my grandpa was fixing to do.
''No grandpa, please stop!'', I pleaded. But he didn't listen.
He ripped off my green robe and forced me to lay on my belly. Then he began to mercilessly whip my back. The pain was indescribable. But it was not the physical pain that was the most agonizing, but it was the emotional pain that was breaking me down.
I realize as he continued whipping me that I should have escaped and done what he told me before he lost his mind. Tears began to flow down my cheeks, because I realized it was too late.
As I screamed in pain and cried sorrowfully, one thought crossed my mind.
My grandpa was truly dead. After that day, I never called him my grandpa again.
End of Double Flashback
Rangiku's POV
After hearing Gekkou's story, I just stood there in pure shock. I couldn't believe that this sick fuck was once a normal Shinigami, and that this black-hooded bastard was the one who transformed Kira Kage into this...monster.
Whoever that stranger was, I began to think that he was the true terror of this forest.
''I don't know what to say...''
''The look on your face tells me everything'', Gekkou replied.
''Gekkou, I want to see your back.''
I wanted to see Gekkou's back in order to see what this monster who was once his kind grandfather did to him over the past eight years.
Gekkou looked shocked for a moment, but then he said, ''Yeah, sure...''
He lifted up the back part of what remained of his brown tattered clothes, and I was never prepared for what I saw.
His back was covered with an uncountable number of scars. Some were old, some looked fresh, and there were even a couple of scars that were still bleeding!
''My Kami*...'', was all I managed to say.
''My grandfather whips me so much that I no longer feel the pain. He whips me at least once or twice a week.''
''Your grandfather is a monster.''
''My grandfather died eight years ago, it's just that I have been denying the truth until now.''
''Is that why you have been staying with your grandfather until now?''
''Yeah, I thought maybe I could change him by being around him. I thought maybe somewhere inside of him, there was a part of my grandfather that was still alive and loves me. But I was so wrong.''
I was filled with pity for Gekkou. He lost his grandfather, and he was seperated from the rest of his family, including his brother.
''You miss your brother Izuru, right?''
I saw a stray tear fall down his right cheek. ''I sometimes wonder if my brother would even remember me if we meet each other again. I miss him so much, but I know that he is all right. My parents will take care of him, even though I'm not with him anymore.''
I tried to comfort him. ''I think you will see your brother again, Gekkou. You just need to believe in yourself.''
Gekkou finally smiled. ''Thanks, Rangiku. You know, you are the first person who has been taken to this cave who has been kind to me. Everyone else who has been taken to this cave has mocked me for staying with my grandfather.''
I smiled back. ''You are welcome. By the way, I did see that black-hooded man at the entrance to the forest. Thanks to him, both me and Gin are separated.''
Gekkou's face immediately turn from a look of happiness to one of pure anger. Then he forcefully tackled me to the ground.
''You saw him! Where is he!''
Out of pure fright, I stammered, ''I-I d-don't k-know...I s-saw him a-at the entrance t-to t-the f-f-forest!''
Then he got off of me and held his head while sitting on the cave floor.
''I'm s-sorry, it's just that I hate that black-hooded asshole so much. But I shouldn't have tackled you, because it's not your fault.''
I finally managed to stand up. ''It's all right, but you scared the crap out of me.''
''My apologies, I don't know what the hell came over me.''
''Do you know anything else about the black-hooded man?''
''He's a Shinigami, because he cast Hakufuku on me and Gin.''
''I see, so my grandfather was telling me the truth. By the way, who is Gin?''
''Oh, he's a boy who is a very dear and close friend of mine.''
Then Gekkou pointed at me. ''If he is just your friend, then how come your face is blushing like there is no tomorrow?''
Oh crap, I was blushing AGAIN by just thinking about Gin?
I then proceeded to whack Gekkou's head several times with my fists.
''Shut up!''
After I taught him a lesson, Gekkou was holding his head in pain.
''Ow, ow, ow! Forget I even asked! Kami, you are scary when you get angry!''
After that, I asked Gekkou another question.
''So how do you know your grandfather will summon Kanashii first?''
''Well, because-.''
Suddenly, we were interrupted by Kanashii awakening. She stood up and looked at me with pure malice in her eyes.
''What's wrong with her?''
Gekkou had a look of pure fright in his eyes. ''Oh Kami no...''
I began to panic. ''What's going on, Gekkou!''
''I hope I am wrong, but it looks like she has switched over to her other personality.''
''You mean...she has multiple personalities!''
''She has two personalities. There is her normal personality, then there is-.''
''That's fucking enough, Gekkou.''
Then Kanashii looked at me with a crazed look in her eyes.
''You are a pest, because Kage-sama only belongs to me, Alyssa!''
''Alyssa? I thought your name was Kanashii.''
''Shut up, bitch. Kanashii is taking a nap, 'Alyssa' has come out to play!''
It's official, this girl is a fucking psycho!
''I, 'Alyssa', have decided to play a little game.''
My eyes widened, because I have a bad feeling about this ''game''.
''As for the rules of this game-.''
Then she took a huge knife out of her tattered purple dress and did the most unexpected and frightful thing, she lunged at me.
''-You fucking die!''
*This lullaby is a slightly edited version of the Edo Lullaby, a traditional Japanese cradle song.
*Sho is a Japanese free reed musical instrument.
*Kami means ''God'' or ''spirit'' in Japanese.
