The Read Head[April/Closed]

Karakura Forest was a place of peace, and a place where some came to just enjoy being close to nature allowing their problems and stress to flow away like a running river, this was the reason why he was here as well he stood at a towering six feet and four inches, his body was built like a tank a wall of pure muscle. But he had changed his look slightly, he wore the shinigami uniform but the sleeves where torn off, and over it he wore a long sleeveless black jacket which rested gently on his broad shoulders running down his back ending just a few inches from passing his ankles, he had a pair of black gloves with the famed symbol of the Taoist religion to represent darknes and light. His hair was no longer long, though still its natural silver and radiant color it was now spiked slightly up wards but somewhat lazy spikes, as they leaned back slightly. He had a few scars on his persona as well, mainly on his left eye going right down to his cheeck bone, this was the new Balmung Striver Vice Captain of the first division why he was here at first one would think to relieve himself of his stress. But in reality he was here to meet with the woman he once fell head over heels for, he did the impossible to get her attention but never quite could recently having gone into self imposed exile Balmung had undergone rigorous training. Now he was back to reclaim his spot as Vice Captain, and one day he would rule over Soul Society as their Captain Commander but perhaps that day would not come for him he had found some rather dissapointing news a few days back, he had no real friends in Soul Society. The only thing that came close to a friend would be her, the red haired beauty so he asked her to come here so perhaps the two could chat for old times sake, he wanted to see her at least one last time. Many thoughts ran through his head as he stood there with his arms down at his side waiting for her to arrive, the gentle breeze that blew by pushed against the side of him making the end of his sleeveless jacket rustle and dance in the wind, his spiked hair leaning in that direction as well. Balmung looked around from the edge of the cliff where he stood at the natural beauty down below, wondering just letting his mind set itself free jumping from thought to thought the entire time.

He didn't turn, the massive shinigami stood with his arms down at his side he heard her sweet voice as it broke the tense silence that he had enveloped himself in, though he showed no emotion inside he was happy to hear her voice, to see that she had come and had not blown him off. The massive shinigami stood though not saying anything for a few seconds as his hazel eyes looked off into the distance still admiring the beauty of the lushous natural beauty before them, finally she asked her question one that he had already expected to hear. It showed that perhaps she felt bad for yelling at him the way she did, with that whole fiasco aside he turned clearing away all memories of that night his face looking in her direction now, if she expected to see a smile on his face well she would be greatly dissapointed. Balmung was dead serious and his once gentle Hazel eyes where filled with nothing but a cold gaze, he had changed a lot in deed over his left eye a deep scar vcut off only because he had his eyes open but when Balmung blinked the scar was completed it was a surprise that eye even worked. He stood there looking at April with his cold eyes, as if he was void of any emotion, as if he was unable to do anything else "Hello, April..."he would speak in his powerful and deep tone, Balmung was not only a physicaly imposing shinigami he also had the vocals to pair along with his monstrous physque he would pause for a moment deciding on whether he would tell her about where he went since she seemed so interested all of a sudden. "I went in search of my brother, I found him...." he would pause as he undid the long black jacket he was wearing once it was undone he pulled it apart revealing the deep scars that now adorned his once untouched skin. "This is the result...."he would pause before revealing to her why he had the scars, he made sure to look her in the eyes when he spoke the following sentence his gaze still unchanging so cold now, it was so lifeless nothing like the old Balmung that once drooled over the woman. "Look at them clearly April, every scar on my body is because of you...I rejected my brothers offer, did you know what he wanted?"he would ask the rhetorical question not expecting an answer, as he lowered his arms to his sides letting the jacket hang open now so that she may see his deep scars.

He looked at her "He told me, that in order for me to achieve greater power I must kill that which holds me back. The only thing in this world that I cannot kill is you, he knew this he knew that I would never join him in his plan to attack Soul Society, because YOU where there. So when i denied my brother, he fought me I battled my own blood in a battle that would surely end to the deat but in the end my brother revealed his great secret, he is a Vaizard. With new found power, he overpowered me and for three days he scarred my body, for three days I was chained restrained my reiatsu drained from my body. As he scarred by body with my own zanpaktou, and in the end he injected me..." he would pause as a smile formed on his face a sarcastic smile nonetheless he would pause for a moment as he remembered the event as if it had happened yesterday, "He injected me with the smae virus he wanted me to use on you, my insides are slowly being eaten away...The only other person besides you that knows of this, are the scientist of the Twelth Division, and they estimate that in ten years my body will fail me, I will die a slow and painfull death..." he chuckled as he thought of this wiping his lip slightly as he sighed. "So if you are wondering why I am not smiling, maybe it is because I don't have much to smile about these days, because I realized that because of blind love! I have signed my own death sentence!"Balmung yelled angrily raising his fist over his head he would bring down a hammer fist, no reiatsu no nothing raw power he created a crater under the area that he struck, a small cloud of smoke rose around him, he looked up at April as he stood up letting his arm rest at his side.

"But don't worry yourself....I have a plan of my own, before my time is up in this world, I will become the next Captain Commander, find my brother and I shall execute him and all who follow him!" he yelled out once more as he turned giving April his back he extended his arms to the side, with no sleeves the muscular definition was well displayed. He balled his hands into closed fist, in doing so his muscles tensed becoming more visible "I will show him what true power is!"he would turn after saying this and point at April with his right index finger at her. "But in the end...." his voice was calm now as he lowered his hand, "No matter how hard I tried...I could not erase my feelings for you, pathetic right? That I still dream of one day being with you, the dreams of a child! Useless emotions....Where will this get me? You...." he said pointing at her once more, "You are with Hisagi no? What surprised? Believe it or not being Lieutenant of the First Division has its perks, one is I can get informatio in the blink of a fucking eye!"he would say as he blinked his left eye completing the scar he had there, opening his eye he let out another chuckle "But it's alright, I understand you fell for the other one...To be quite honest I do not care, because in the end being with you is just an illusion...You showed how much you cared about me when you kneed me in the gut and yelled at me like a dog at your boot heel" he would say with a chuckle remembering the incident as he scratched the side of his face, now being silent as he stood there waiting for the woman to speak and react to everything he had said to her.
