A/N: Hello everyone! Hope you're liking the story so far! Soon we'll be having another timeskip and introducing the other villains of the show like Kaname, Gin and some of the Espada. I'll try to keep the updates regular but will be dealing with some school stuff this week so just a heads up in case I can't update as quickly. Thanks for reading! 🤗😋

Chapter 10: Dwindling Sorrows
The words echoed inside his head like a mantra. He couldn't bring himself to believe it.
In retrospect it made sense. His unstable power, his mother's secrecy regarding his lineage and the fact that she called him 'little prince'. But all the evidence in the world could not prepare him for what he'd discovered.
"Of all the possible answers, I never expected this." He told Anna.
The girl nodded and placed her hand over his. "I'm taken aback as well, but at least it's one mystery put to rest."
He nodded and yawned. All the emotional labor of the day had taken its toll and he was dozing off.
"I'll go buy us dinner. We need to keep something down eventually. Do you want anything specific?"
"Whatever you get it's fine."
Anna nodded and headed out. Sosuke fell asleep almost immediately, his zanpakuto was waiting for him in their inner world.
"I am beginning to miss the sky and palm trees. This looks too grey." Kyoka Suigetsu told him. She floated towards him, placing a cold hand on his cheek. "I am sorry child. I am afraid nobody could have prevented this."
"There were many who considered themselves her friend and yet only Lady Fujiwara came to tell us."
"It's not a matter of loyalty. There's no shinigami that would dare stand to the Central. I am afraid it'd be a lost cause."
"Until now that is."
His zanpakuto spirit kneeled so that she would be face to face with him. "Sosuke, this is what I have been warning you about. Straying from your course will only do you harm. More than what has come."
"I can't just sit here and do nothing! They burned her alive! They'll keep killing anyone who disagrees or faces them. I won't allow it."
The spirit nodded. "If that is what you chose, then I shall accompany you. But my warning remains."
"Thank you."
Sosuke felt somebody shaking him. He awoke to see Anna smiling down at him. "I got us tofu miso soup and some cheesecake."
"My favorite food and your favorite treat. Lucky both of them are soft. Thank you, Anna."
"No problem. Now let's eat!"
Throughout the meal he still felt uneasy, the day's weight was pushing him down but he didn't want to concern his friend.
'I shall feel better tomorrow.' he lied
***
Sosuke had fallen asleep after the meal, and Anna was feeling drowsy as well.
Kyoka Suigetsu and Soburinsuta had materialized. Anna rubbed her eyes, thinking it was a hallucination.
"We thought you two might need company. I see my master is fast asleep." Kyoka put Aizen's head on her lap and patted it in a motherly fashion.
"You two may fight but I like that you're trying to comfort him," Anna told her.
