Okay so I haven't written anything in months. But I'm quite confident in this story. I already started writing chapter two and I'm way interested in the story line I created. So lets hope that I get through this whole thing which will be about twenty to thirty chapters. Enjoy!

Memoirs of a Third Seat

By: Shay Candy

Prologue

170 Years Before

Her head was spinning, her body writhing in pain as she tried to pick herself up off the ground only to be pushed down by the hollow that had snuck up on her with the heel of its foot. She cried out in pain, her yellow eyes widening as her short purple hair flew in the wind the blow created.

The hollow removed its foot, a satisfied sound reverberating from its throat as the woman whimpered and attempted to curl into a ball which was nearly impossible from the chunk the demon took out of her side when he blindsided her.

"You're going to make a most excellent meal, Soul Reaper." The hollow hummed as it watched the female try and curl up again only to cry out from the pain that radiated through her body. "Now, how shall I eat you? Shall I take your head first? Or should I go for a leg? Or how about I go straight through-"

"Hadō number thirty three: Sōkatsui," a female voice yelled from in front of them, striking the hollow square in its mask before it dissipated.

The purple haired woman glanced up briefly, only catching a glimpse of blood red hair before she blacked out completely.

…

She didn't feel any more pain. Actually, she didn't feel anything at all when she came to. Careful however, she propped herself up on her elbows and looked around the small hut she was in before she heard someone enter.

"Oh, you're awake," a girl's voice said making the purple haired woman glance back to the entry way.

There stood a girl who looked to be no more than five feet tall dressed in black leather pants, a red long sleeved jacket that was unzipped, a black sleeveless around the neck tank top, and a strapless white tub top underneath. On her hands were fingerless red and black gloves. Her blood red hair was pulled up into a high bun resting in the middle of her head, the remaining bit of hair hanging over her left shoulder held in a ponytail at the nap of her neck by a black ribbon. Around her head was a black headband that held her bangs back out of her face.

"Where am I? Who are you?" the purple haired woman said as the other woman walked forward and sat down the basket she was holding before taking a seat herself.

"My name is Akane Murasaki," she said as she picked through the herbs that she had gathered in the basket. "I live here alone, had three brothers and two sisters once but two of the three of my brothers died as well as my sisters. The last, I have no idea where he is. He went missing over fifty years ago."

"How do you know Kidō?" the purple haired woman asked as she watched the girl begin making herbal tea from some of the herbs she had picked out of the basket as she set the water to boil.

"I live in the forest, alone. I need some way to protect myself from the dangers that lurk in these woods," Akane said looking up from what she was doing. Her green eyes held a level of kindness that the purple haired woman picked up on instantly, "I taught myself up to number thirty three. I've seen many Soul Reapers do it many times while vanquishing hollow out in these woods. I even picked up on how you all use Flash Steps from watching and practicing." She placed a cup of tea next to the purple haired woman before carefully helping her sit up all the way. "So, Soul Reaper, who are you? What's your name? I could tell from the haori you were wearing you're Captain of Division Two in the Gotei Thirteen." She picked up the cup and placed it in the other woman's hands.

"Yoruichi Shihōin," the purple haired woman said before taking a sip of the tea she had been offered.

"Yoruichi Shihōin, the Goddess of Flash? Wow, so how did that Hollow end up getting you the way that it did," she asked gesturing to Yourichi's wrapped torso. "And what were you doing out here?"

"I was blindsided," Yoruichi explained after swallowing a sip of her tea. "The thing took a chunk out of me from the side. I didn't even feel it coming. I had just been taking a leisurely stroll when I was attacked by it. Thank you for saving my life."

"Uh, you're welcome. I couldn't just let it kill you," Akane said awkwardly as she brought her cup to her lips and took a sip of her tea. She placed the cup down before wiping her hands on the leather of her pants, "How do you feel, Lady Yoruichi?"

"A lot better," Yoruichi answered with a smil. "I'm not feeling too much pain like I did before. May I ask though, how much time has passed since the attack?"

"About two and a half weeks," Akane answered as she got up to fetch her medical kit she kept in handy. "You woke up once a few days ago but passed out again almost instantly. Thanks to something I learned from my eldest brother a long time ago, I was able to restore the chunk of flesh that was taken out of your side."

"You have my greatest thanks, Akane," Yoruichi said bowing a bit only to wince at a slight jolt of pain.

"But you're not fully healed," Akane said as she returned with the medical kit. "You're starting to bleed again, let me change your bandage then you lay down to rest some more."

"Yes of course," Yoruichi said as she placed the cup down and held her arms out to the sides so that Akane could remove the bandages.

She watched her as she took the ruined gaze off of her before cleaning her wounds with some kind of liquid in her box that made Yoruichi cringe with pain. Akane noticed and muttered a quick sorry before continuing to clean the wounds. Once she finished, she added a bit of ointment to help heal the wound before she re-wrapped Yoruichi's torso and chest with a clean gaze.

When Akane pulled away, Yoruichi glanced at her before a smile graced her lips, "Akane."

"Hmmm," Akane said looking up when she finished putting away her materials.

"How would you like it if I trained you in Kidō and Hohō?" Yoruichi asked as she laid down on the bed that Akane had made for her, "As well as something that is very unique and hard to master; Shunkō?"

Akane's eyes widened, a gasp escaping her lips before she bowed her head, "It would be a great opportunity, Lady Yoruichi to learn from you, the Goddess of Flash."

"Good, once I'm completely healed we'll leave and I'll begin your training," Yoruichi said before closing her eyes and falling back into a peaceful slumber.

Akane bowed again, "Thank you, Lady Yoruichi. I am grateful."
