He was so absolutely and positively bored. He could only watch himself die so many times before it got boring, and the fear of losing his life no longer pecked at his brain. He wanted to do something, but naturally in his state there was no way of doing anything.

Other than sitting here and watching the future over and over again.

He was the Soul King, of course, an infinite being that would somehow be stabbed by a ludicrous King and sliced in half by an immature boy.

What a horrible way for his life to end.

And then a thought occurred: what if he were to change the future? Perhaps his final hours would not be so boring, so long as he could resist the temptation to view his new future for the next two years. If he could last this long without any arms or legs, then most certainly he could do that!

Then it was set. The young orange haired boy must never become a Shinigami, and then the Soul King would never die, but how to prevent the Quincy King from killing him? Perhaps, somehow, the Quincy would become distracted by Aizen, if there was no boy to threaten Aizen's plan for the Soul Society...

This was interesting, and the Soul King decided that if it interested him this much then he simply had to do it! It was May in the World of the Living, not much time before the young orange haired boy and his female companion with the jet black hair were supposed to meet.

Perhaps the Soul King could make the Shinigami simply decide not to send her to the World of the Living until after May had ended? There'd be plenty of time to sort out the Hollows after that, as well as allow a particular boy to be devoured.

Well, does it sound intriguing?
