Confessions of the innocent [closed /Octavia]

As Octavia’s image disappeared from before Chie’s eyes, she wanted to move to look around, but in an instant she felt something dig into her back emitting hollow reiatsu as it touched her flesh. The moment the tip reached into her dried, bruised, pale skin time seemed to slow down as she felt the cold and sharp spear enter her body. Her breathing wanted to turn rapid but the spear blocked her diaphragm from excessively breathing as she tried to keep her breaths short and paced, her eyes were fixed in position staring at the wall. Her facial expression was trying to exhibit surprise but failed to move much. Every second made the next seem longer as time seemed to be longer as she felt the blade inch further and further, her focus waning back and forth as she felt the tip halt, as it reached its destination.

Chie felt pain for what seemed to be almost a few minutes but then, the pain stopped abruptly as it seemingly disappeared, but she knew the spear was well still inside her, penetrating her soft skin, her tense muscles throughout her Hakusui, although her external stimuli became stunted, she could clearly feel the hollow reiatsu enter from Octavia to her own soul and body, she felt her body become one with hers for a brief moment, she could not tell what she felt. There was a plethora of various feelings rushing through her very soul. She felt an intense amount of pleasure, enough to overcome her physical and mental limits.  She also felt a wave of sorrow and sadness as she could get a feeling deep down she did not understand, presuming it came from the arrancar whose zanpakuto is in her chest. Which soon added anger and bloodlust wanting revenge for this but than soon coveted by embarrassment at being angry while being given such a rush that she did not entirely regret so she could not feel as though she can be forgiven.

As Octavia removed the spear, what happened externally was Chie’s body falling to the floor, as if she were a doll instead of a sentient being. Her face did not move, her eyes became blank as though there was nothing in them, and there was no immediate sign of life, traces of blood slowly dripped in an almost black color at a very slow pace.

However what happened to her mind and consciousness was another story. As Octavia removed her zanpakuto Chie felt a dark, hollow presence surge throughout her body in an instant, before suddenly losing focus as one by one she felt her external and internal stimuli go. Her sight went black as her eyes gave out, the smell of blood ceased to clog her nose, it was presumed that hearing went but in a silent room how would one know?  She felt her sense of touch disappear as she fell, no longer able to feel the ground beneath her feet or any pain,  next was her reiatsu sensation, neither external or internal could be felt as Chie was holding onto the wisps of consciousness barely able to think, but soon passed out completely.  

Chie felt as though she was coming to, but not on a cold stone floor like she expected. She found herself laying in tall grass, she felt better as if freed from the physical conditions she suffered prior, she slowly stood up to take note of her situation. She found herself wearing her shihakusho fully intact, her hair was still let down, but her reibakufu and sheath were no wear in sight. She immediately recognized she was in her inner world as soon as she saw the sunless day sky and the tree on the mound. However what scared her was that she did not see her Zanpakuto spirit kneeling under the tree as she usually does. She walked forward to examine the tree closer, there was a patch of grass made by consistent kneeling in the same spot, and Chie began to ponder what Asatsuyu does in this world. However the scent of roses filled the air and intertwined with the fresh dew scent as it seemed like the two were locked in some form of combat, not unlike yin and yang.











Chie looked around; she saw the grass rustling in the distance as she yelled “Asatsuyu! Where are you?!”  However the rustling direction went wild. She was about to move towards the feint sight in the distance but suddenly moved towards Chie, as it  sped up Chie narrowly jumped out of the way, looking towards for the source. However she saw Her Zanpakuto spirit standing up holding a copy of her sealed form in one hand while using the other to brace it, as if she was  blocking some form of attack. Chie could clearly hear the breathing that came from Asatsuyu, as if she was fighting for hours without rest. Chie, wide eyes ran towards her Zanpakuto only to see Asatsuyu raise her hand signifying to stop.

”Stay back! Do not get any closer than you are right now.”

Chie ignored her zanpakuto’s advice, too concerned by what she was fighting. “Asatsuyu, what is going on? Who or much rather what are you fighting?”  An unsettling feminine laughter could be heard as a figure tried to emerge from the tall grass but Asatsuyu knocked it back down with the back of her hilt, Chie was nowhere close to figuring out what this scene was about.

“What happened, the last thing I remember was I was being- I was stabbed!” Chie ran her fingers over her chest only to see no wound, but recalled this was her inner world where physical wounds could disappear. Asatsuyu tried to split focus on Chie and her target as she tried to keep either party from interacting with each other.

”Yes, you were, but that arrancar did a bit more than penetrate your flesh, that was your Hakusui, and she left some of her reiatsu which is merging with yours. It’s almost taking, stay back!”

A grey blade reached up from the tall grass as Asatsuyu was struggling to block it, but the blade suddenly dropped as an arm reached straight for her neck as an explosion of dark red occurred, leaving a crater where the grass used to be. However the arm now connected to a tall body much akin to Asatsuyu’s figure and dress, but with several alterations. In place of a mask was an exposed face different  to the one bellow Asatsuyu’s mask, a grey skin with black hair that loosely fell down to her sash while bands fell over her cleavage and some over her red eyes. She wore a similar kimono to Asatsuyu’s but black and red instead of green and blue, as well as she made alterations, such as exposing her cleavage and shoulders,   her left hand was holding Asatsuyu by the neck lifting Asatsuyu up.

”Well now dear sister, are you trying to hide me? To keep her all to yourself? I don’t think so; after all I have as much right to her as you.”

”She isn’t ready yet, her body can’t handle you just yet.  Leave her be for now!”

Asatsuyu kicked the figure knocking it back, taking grip of her false blade she called out ”Flourish” as the blade in her hand turned into a vine whip. Asatsuyu whipped towards the figure at an horizontal angle as the figure fell, wrapping the figure back up.  

Meanwhile Chie was in complete confusion until it sunk in that the figure was her inner hollow, but what confused her was the level of intelligence it presented.

“Asatsuyu? What is that think? I thought inner hollows were supposed to be beasts with no intelligence?!”

Asatsuyu walked towards Chie as the hollow tried to escape its binds. ”An inner hollow is a manifestation of what you reject on the inside, while most cases it is a mindless brute, but your not a typical Shinigami, and your very intelligent so imagine who manifestations of your soul would be. But that’s enough for now, now you must leave.”

Asatsuyu proceeded to than palm strike Chie before she had a chance to react, knocking her out and restoring her to reality.

Meanwhile her body was still lying face first on the floor as a white fluid filled her wound and it than smoothed over and converted back into her pale flesh, in a sudden gasp for air as Chie regained consciousness she stood up, feeling somewhat restored she found the door and ran towards it. She tried to sense for the arrancar she met earlier but nowhere within sensibility or sight, but that didn’t matter for the moment.  

”Damn I am not going to die here! But I need to escape first. I am certain the desert would be safer than here.”

Chie than began to run out the door, through the tower and felt the sweet release of freedom as she escaped las Nochas and started running away from the castle, into the endless night of Hueco Mundo, unknowing of where to go, what to do, but all she knew was that she was alive.
