The Unknown

Author's note: I really had to look back and forth between the manga and what I had written. I had to make sure this story was accurate. I enjoyed how it came out.

Summary: The story behind the story. Basically what happens between the panels. What I think is really going on.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach; if I did It would have already been in the manga already.

Chapter 1

"What the hell is Karin doing at Urahara Shoten?" said a young orange haired man. "If you would like to know more then give us a call. Here is our business card." said a man finishing off his ramen. "What's your name?" asked the strawberry head. "Ginjo Kuugo. Well Ichigo what are you going to do?" Ichigo just ignored Ginjo and started reading the business card. "XCUTION? What's with the name?" "It's cool!" "Of course it is..." Ichigo said in a non believing tone. Ichigo decided to go home. Ichigo walked in the door preparing to get kicked in the face by his father, so he swung his arm in a crazy manner. Nothing happened, Ichigo saw his sister fidgeting in her chair that she was sitting in. "Hey Yuzu, do you need to tell me something?" Yuzu jumped out of her seat, spun a bit, then pulled out a paper from out of nowhere. "I got an A on my test!" "That's amazing, did you show the old man?" Yuzu looked down having a flashback.

"Dad why are you packing?" "Sorry sweetie, I have to leave." "Why daddy?" "I need Ichigo to progress and I can't be around him for the next couple of days. You understand, right Yuzu? Please don't tell Ichigo about any of this." "Alright dad."

"Speaking of which, where is he?" "I don't know. Guess he's been gone since morning." "Oh...Well then, I'll be in my room." "Ah… Brother?" Yuzu interrupted. "Hmm, what's wrong Yuzu?" Yuzu quickly thought to herself, 'oh no, I can't tell him about what dad said.' "Nah... Nothing." Ichigo went to his room. Shortly after, Karin got home, threw her stuff on the couch and started eating dinner. After dinner, Karin turned the TV on. She was flipping through the channels. "Hey Yuzu? Have you ever heard of a show called Bleach? What a weird name for a show, I mean come on, no one's hair is even bleached white." she started flipping some more channels. "Oh my gosh! Look at this commercial!" On the TV was a particular man singing a song about a spirit shop. With Karin's mouth gaping open, Yuzu changed the channel and later went off to bed.

Authors note: The reason why this story is called "The Unknown," is because this is what Ichigo does not know. Also I did not know what else to call it.
