Chapter 1

"So this is it. Its really over. I can leave the rest to you now Ichigo. Stop him." Gin thought as he lay on the hard ground bleeding. He looked at Rangiku leaning over him sobbing. "Im sorry Rangiku. Maybe next time." He whispered so low he doubt anyone even heard him. He then closed his eyes and let the darkness take him.

He had no idea how long he laid like that. It was dark and quiet. He was finally at peace. Until he felt a hand touch his forehead. He cracked open his eyes and saw a beautiful green hair woman kneeling over him. "Its not the time for you to sleep just yet Gin." She said gently with a smile.

"Where am I." Gin said trying to lift himself up but immediately fell back in pain from his injuries.

"Here let me take care of those." She said as she placed her hand over his wounds. To his surprise, they immediately closed up. "There that should feel better." She said with a smile. "My name is Cheshra and I've been watching you for a very long time."

Gin lifted himself up again and took on his usual grin. It had become a habit and a defense mechanism. Seeming confident in the way he did always put people on edge around him especially in situations like this. "My my you've been watching my Im not sure whether to be flattered or concerned." He said hoping to get a rise out of this person. "So tell me Miss are you by any chance, God."

She giggled at this. "No Im not God but I would like to help you."

"Help me." He said with a pause. He didn't know how to handle this kind of situation. "Would you mind explain what's going on first."

"Sure. I've been watching you since you were a child. You were a prodigy but instead of using your talents to make yourself and those you love happy you decided to swear vengeance on another man. I want to give you a second chance at life." She said sadly.

"I see." He was speechless. That has never happened to him before. "What's the catch. Nobody does something like this for nothing. What is it you stand to gain by helping me?" He said with suspicion.

She looked down at this. "It breaks my heart to see a child die before they grow up. That's what happened to you, you didn't die when Aizen killed you. You died when you dedicated to a life of hate from such a young age. The catch to this offer is that you must swear to me that you will live your life to the fullest so you and those who care for you will be happy."

He took a moment to soak all this in. Maybe she was right. Maybe he had wasted his life on hate. "So tell me about this offer." He said having a hard time keeping up the usual look.

She smiled again. "I will send you to a new world where you will start over. You will keep your Zanpakto and your memories and you will be able to use spiritual energy like normal. The world I've picked does not have spiritual energy, they have magic but I have altered your body so it can take in magic and convert it to spiritual energy. You may not tell anyone about me or where you are originally from. Also, you will age like a normal human."

"I see. Well, Miss Cheshra I think I'll accept your offer. However, I'd like to make a request." He said with a bit less confidence. Maybe he shouldn't do this. Maybe it would be better to just rest. But that wasn't the kinda person he was.

"What is it?" She asked slightly surprised sense she was already offering him quite a lot.

"Could you tell Rangiku that Im sorry? And that... I always loved her." He said dropping his grin and taking on more of a frown.

She smiled again. "Yes, I think I can do that." She said waving her hand. An ornate door appeared out of nowhere. For the first time since he started this conversation, he looked around. He was surrounded by white. Just white for as far as the eye could see. It was just a void.

He looked at the door knowing its purpose already, he took a step towards it and stopped. "You said your not a god. If that's the case then what may I ask are you?"

"Im not entirely sure myself." She said with a laugh.

Gin grinned and grabbed the doorknob and turned it. "Thank you for this. I mean it." He said as he opened the door and stepped through.

When the door closed Cheshra just stood there smiling. "Do you think I did the right thing? Giving him another chance at life is also giving him another chance at heartache," she said turning her head to a man in a black hood who was not there before.

"Gin is a strong man. I believe he will be happy this time. I just worry about the world you just sent him to." He said with a chuckle. "That snake is going to change everything." He said placing a hand on her shoulder before turning and walking away.
