History/Background:
Kira... a man that was damned with such a name. Down in the world since his boyhood, his personality had never suited his name. Born in a poor village within the rukongai. He never knew his parents, all he can remember is that he was found by an elder man and taken care of by him. Because of his name, he was discriminated against and even feared. he never fit in and this negative lifestyle led him to the lifelong struggle with depression... the old man, who's name was Shiro Matsumoto, who cared for Kira had felt so bad for him, yet he didn't have enough money to legally change the boy's name.
At the age of 7, Kira had been jumped for the first time. Three boys in the grade above his had hated him, again for no reason, and decided to beat him up. They even pulled a smal dagger on him. Kira's pain had froze him in time and how he hated all who broke him down. Without warning, something had snapped withing Kira, his hear beated fast and an odd black aura formed around him; this apparently was called a "reiatsu" acording to the village elders. Kira had been being beaten for at least 30 minutes and so he made no haste with this power, he attacked the boys untill they were bloody and unconscious. The boys lay around him and Kira started to cry. He fell to his knees and tears flew down his face like it was a normality. Shiro, who had been worried because Kira was late coming home, came out looking for him to find him in the ally with the boys around him. Before Shiro started to lecture Kira, he saw the knife in the boy's hand and how Kira had been beaten and was crying. Shiro ran to Kira, picked him up, and brought him back to their small cottage.
There, Kira cried in Shiro's arms for many hours as Shiro cradled Kira back and forth in his arms. When the storm within Kira's unstable mind had calmed, he told Shiro what had happened. Shiro knew that Kira would die if something wasn't done... That night, Shiro put Kira on his back, and started to walk... To escape, to run away, so that Kira wouldn't feel pain anymore... So NO ONE would EVER hurt him again. Shiro shed a tear each time he took a step, feeling the pain of Kira, a 7-year old boy, who had already lost his innocence to the uncaring world. Shiro had walked all the way to Sereitei by about 6pm the next day. Kira had awoken and asked where they were going, shir only answered...
"To a place.... where you won't feel any more pain and we... can be happy together, Kira."Shiro's eyes glistened as he kissed Kira's forehead, letting him know that he wasn't going to let Kira feel any more pain. Kira's eyes slowly closed once again, as they approached the gates of Sereitei, and Shiro would make a desperate plea. Shiro had walked up to the noble house of the Nagarashi family; a family well-known for their kindness and hospitality. Shiro knocked on the large door and was surprised when the head of the house, himself, had answered the door. Shiro bowed in great respect at the sight of this powerful noble. The man simply waved his hand across Shiro, signalling for him to stand.
"Please... do not bow before me, you're older than I am, which means your experiences of life are far greater than mine; if anything, I should bow to you. May I know your name, kind elder?"Shiro held back his tears of joy and stood slowly. He let Kira off of his back and rubbed his cheek to wake him up. Kira's eyes opened to see a man of high stature standing before him. His eyes almost glistened at the noble; Kira was thoroughly impressed.
"My name is Shiro Matsumoto. This here, is my son... I had found him in the gutters of the streets as a baby and took him in. His name is Kira Awarege. He... has been tormented from the very beginning of his life. The school boys always picked on him, always pushed him around, called him names, and tried to beat him up... He has lost his innocece at the tender age of 7 years old and has depression. Yesterday, he was nearly killed. I am literally begging you, friendly noble, for you to take him in... and cherish him like a king, so that... he will never feel a pain so horrific, ever, ever, again."The noble's face was aghast and he almost fell at this horrific tale. No boy should lose his innocence at 7 years, it is... unthinkable. The noble opened his doors and motioned for them both to come in.
"I will accept your plea... no boy should be put through that at such a young age... And Shiro-san, please come as well. A boy cannot grow up without his father, adopted or not. I want you both to stay here and I will cherish you as my humble guests... Please let yourselves be merry here."Kira almost ran to the noble and hugged him, shedding tears of joy. Kira felt odd, he had never been so happy... These tears of joy were so warm and glorious, unlike the cold, dead tears of depression. Shiro walked in, astonished at the noble's kindness. There, Kira grew up in happiness. He had three full, healthy meals every day. He learned to write and read from the best teachers and he was treated as the noble's son. The noble had no wife and no children so he considered Kira as his own. Shiro and the noble took care of him... Unfortunately, no matter how hard anyone tried, Kira's painful memories had always follow him and he had a darkness within his heart. He was no way evil, but he wasn't normal. He loved the darkness and enjoyed it; he was not crazy, just different, and the noble house accepted him At the age of 19, Shiro died; he was 128 years old. Kira mourned for days and spent one month drawing a mural for the memorial of Shiro Matsumoto. The ceremony was held for the sake of Kira and thats how his last name came to be "Awarege". He was a sorrowful person who cherished evrything he had and mourned for all that he lost, for it was all important to him in some way or another.
A year after the death of Shiro, Kira left home to become a shinigami. It was a bit ironic... but he wanted to protect what all he had left so that none of it could be taken away from him ever again. He was very significant on every test; a 97% on the kido examination, a 100% on the written test, and a 92% on the sparring placement. From his personality, Kira was put in the 5th squad or the defensive squad. Kira wished to defend and only wanted to fight, or kill, when there was no other option. As a new bor shinigami, he would protect everythign he had, to the limits of death itself.
