---------

(Y/N) is living the moment of hunger and finding something edible to eat.

Her life has been poor ever since she came into consciousness.

After hours and hours of walking. She came into a town. One that was more clean and prosperous than the other towns and it seems everything is in order except for her sudden appearance, people stared at her. She bowed down her head enough to hide her eyes and avoid painful stares of disgust. In contrast to her grumbling stomach, it was such a hot day, she was parched.

She passed by a small stall where an old man was selling fruits.

"Fresh fruits! fresh fruits! Only the best in Sereitei!. Come now and have fresh fruits!" he shouted attracting few passersby not long before people came to purchase his goods.

Then there were other stalls as well, selling food and other things.

(Y/N) stared at the stalls. If only she could eat that would be of great help. She was not able to eat for almost a week now.

Considering the situation, she was very weak. She barely had the strength to walk but she stood tall and despite her condition, she managed to walk straight. Her vision is so blurry and her head throbbed in pain.

She touched her bruised forehead. (Y/N) had a fight earlier with other beggars. For 15 years now she has been living in the streets ever since the old widow named Cecilia, the one who found her as an infant got married again, she kicked her out of the house to live nowhere, she was only 5 by then.

Miraculously she managed to live by herself although it wasn't easy, she didn't have proper nourishment and her health was worse when she becomes sick. It was hard to find shelter in the rain and under some circumstances nerve-wracking storms with booming scary thunderclaps, She always wondered how did she overcome such a tragic fate. God has been very good to her and blesses her since she was all alone.

She stopped to place a hand on her forehead. The bleeding stopped but the bruise was starting to act. She dismissed the pain and started walking again.

She hasn't been into a fight before since she usually didn't stay in a single town for a long time. She would be staying for only three days at the most and would move on to the next town to scavenge food.

Usually(Y/N) steered clear of other beggars because, she knew that other beggars almost lose their humanity to survive in the streets, they always fight for territory and food and takes everything from other weaker beggars who are unable to defend themselves. Sometimes they almost looked like savages hoarding anything that could be of used to them. (Y/N) never liked the look in their eyes when they fight for food, they almost looked like madmen.

*11hours earlier...

(Y/N) was about to go to another location probably the next town to find enough food when she was stopped on her tracks by crying children.

From where she stood the group was oblivious that she saw them. The two men have their back on her.

Two girls and one boy curled together crying on the floor one of the little girls clutched a toy on her hand it's ear almost torn away and some of the pieces of cotton turned out. They were not beggars but (Y/N) recognized their clothes. They are from a nearby orphanage. The friends wanted to take the food basket the three orphans hold onto like dear life.

The two men were bullying the small ones, they were probably older than her because they look mature, taller and bigger.

The three scared children kept weeping on the floor. (Y/N) was sure she could not take on two fully grown men but her feet wouldn't move.
