Prologue

50 Years Before the Events of Bleach...

A young teen, probably around 16 or 17, was walking towards the barracks of the 12 division, Department of research and development. When she finally got there, the person she was looking for was just standing out there, like if he was looking for her too.

"Captain Urahara, I need to talk to you,". The man looked at her.

"I need to talk to you too,". They looked at each other for a few minutes and then the girl took a deep breath.

"I need to ask you a favor, Captain Urahara,"

"And what can I do for you?," The girl first looked around to see that nobody else was around and then looked down at her feet.

"I need you to keep something for me while I'm gone during the upcoming mission." The captain looked at her surprised. He didn't expect her to ask him a favor. This wasn't anything he expected at all. Anyway he decided to listen to her request.

"I need you to keep my body safe while I'm gone," The captain looked at her once again and saw that she wasn't comfortable talking about this, yet she continued

"I have this strange feeling that I won't be coming back in a while and I really worry about my family and so do they. But for me to do that, I need someone to watch over my body and if a long time passes I need someone whom I trust to take my body out of the world of the living" The captain looked at her curiously He then cleared his throat and began thinking deeply. After a minute, he looked at her once again and asked her the thing that was bugging him the most when she said "long time".

"So please tell me, for how much time do you think you'll be out?" The girl sighed and tried not to make eye contact

"Well... This mission will be a long-term patrol, the leader of this mission said it would take at least, 5 to 7 years" The captain looked shocked and exclaimed

"5 to seven years? But what about your family? What did they think when you told them?"The girl looked even more depressed and sadder by the second when they were continuing this conversation.

"My mother said the same thing, but, Head Captain Yamamoto himself ordered that I assist in this mission, even though I'm a mere substitute." The captain was getting angrier by the second, 'how could the head captain send her when she still has a life to live? Unlike us, shinigami, we're passed on souls'. He sighed and looked sadly at her. He thought in his head that this was too much for her, and no wonder she had come to him for help.

He gave another sigh and made up his mind

"All right then since I have no power over the head captains choice, the least I can do is help you," After he had declared his aid, the girl looked at him with tearful eyes and lowered her head in silent thanks.

Since captain Urahara was a wimp around crying girls, he went over and gave her a hug. The poor substitute thanked him under her breath, yet she didn't know she would see the Sereitei for a long time now.
