Who knew a hollow could have such an odd power. The snake like hollow had little to no reatsu so it slipped around the soul society easily. It had stowed away in a bag some shinigami had brought back from the world of the living and now slithered down the empty moonlit streets.

He needed one to infect that would have plenty to feed off so he would be strong once he was finished. He needed on that would cause plenty of a distraction when his powers effected the world.

Sleeping peaceful in his bed the hollow found a suitable victim. The small 10th captain was blissfully unaware when the snake slithered over to his bed.

It would be a strange morning for all that day.

Yet there would only be two who would realise to begin with. And the first, since she had to be up to do her rounds before the captain's meeting was the 4th squad captain Unohona.

She felt odd the moment she got up. Realising why when she looked back with a gasp. Large beautiful fairy wings sprouted from her back and glittered in the morning sun.

"What in the world?" She breathed looking down to her bedside table to see a delicate looking golden crown that was shaped to her head.

Was she some kind of fairy royalty…

There was only one time she's ever heard such and thing and that was when she had threatened Hitsugaya with counselling sessions.

She was worried about the boy being so young and having so much to deal with. She wanted to give him somewhere he could just let out his emotions but it seemed at the time he'd beaten her to it. He came in that day with a book. He'd said it was a very personal book and he was only showing it to her so that she knew he had his outlets.

Unohona had been quite honoured he'd allowed her to open the book and read it though and it seemed the young Hitsugaya had quite the imagination.

It was a diary of sorts with a very different version of reality. It was a story of life with him as the main character and she remembered chuckling when she was written as the fair and powerful fairy queen.

But this couldn't be could it?

The woman looked outside her window to think maybe it could. The landscape had change there were now mountains in her view, seas and forests.

It seemed the soul society had become Hitsugaya's imagination.

And since this was his imagination Hitsugaya woke up to think he was still dreaming.

The white haired boy's character kept changing in his stories cause he'd get bored. Sometimes he'd be a powerful knight with a sword that could cut through anything. Others he was the powerful magician able to devastate army's with a wave of his staff. But it seemed this time he was something a little more…feeble looking.

He seemed to be going through a phase, probably started by Aizen, of things not being what they seemed and strong and powerful would be the last thing you guess when you looked at him.

He, as he wrote it, was a young wood elf of the 1st district tribe. He wore tatty greed clothing and a headband with a leaf emblem on it. The tribes outside didn't have too much to do with great Yamamoto's realm but when power begin to awaken in him he had to leave to train. These were unnatural powers of a dragon warrior (something he had dubbed himself despite any other details) and wood elves were not supposed to wield these powers. So he had to leave his beloved grandma and seek out training.

Or at least that's how it went until he got bored of this role.

So he picked up Hyorinmaru who was now a bow and headed off the meeting of the 13 generals. Though wood elves were not typically found in King Yamamoto's ranks Toushiro had been allowed since Yamamoto was also a dragon warrior.

He was bit distracted thinking about everything as he looked up at the sky so he tripped.

"Ouch," He muttered

Then he froze. He dreams weren't meant to hurt. He usually woke up when things hurt. This…it couldn't be real…

"Shiro,"

The familiar voice was followed by the appearance of Ukitake. Maybe what he was wearing was not what Ukitake had expected this morning but Hitsugaya fully recognised it.

A pair of black trousers that were a bit too short, a scruffy white shirt and a black tie and waist coat. He bent down and offered a black gloved hand the large and flamboyant top hat magically perched perfectly on his head. The whole outfit had little pictures of sweets embroiled here and there.

"I know it is odd," Ukitake caught him staring, "But you're a bit…different today too."

He gave a quick poke at the pointed ears.

Ukitake didn't know what he was…it was official this was reality.

"Erm…" He said a little freaked out, "Maybe we should go to the captains meeting."

Ukitake nodded again not disturbing his hat, "We'll see if this has happened to anyone else."

The arrived to see Yamamoto waiting for everyone. He was clad in crimson royal wear and on his head lay an impressive golden crown with a fire dragon wrapped round a great big ruby.

Hitsugaya was still a little freaked out that his little stories he did for fun were now real but he couldn't help but enjoy taking it all in.

Just how I imagined, was the thought the he expected to come to him a lot in the next few hours.

The next person to walk in was, as Toushiro knew him, Guard Captain Byakuya Kuchiku.

The reason he looked so peeved most likely wasn't the immaculate red and black uniform but the tall, fluffy black hat on his head. He took his place without a word.

Next to come in was the second squad captain. She was all in black, sunglasses in toe. She didn't seem to mind her new attire and strode to her place in her big black boots glancing round to have her eyes rest on Byakuya. He said nothing and if it wasn't for the sunglasses you'd know she'd be looking amused.

Next was the fairy queen more graceful about her entrance into the room and flashed a knowing smile in the direction of the 10th squad wood elf. He looked away and pretended not to notice.

"Retsu," Ukitake blinked.

No one could deny that Unohona looked beautiful in her long, flowing, light blue dress. She simply gave him a smile and took her place.

Konamru hadn't changed all that much at all. Except now he wore thick black armour over his bushy fur and came in with an amused look on his features but seemed to get the air of 'we'll talk about it in the meeting' that everyone was emitting.

Kyoraku was not as smart. The mostly pink pirate chuckled at his best friend and well…completely bust into hysterics at Byakuya. The noble took a large breath to restrain himself.

"Shut up and get to your place," Yamamoto growled.

"Going." He stopped though found it hard every time he turned round to see the man.

"The fuck…?"

In the door stood our second pirate, Kenpachi. But the main difference was that Zaraki was a lot more manly. His pirate wear was clad in skulls and sharp things where as Kyoraku seemed to have flowers.

"Take your place Zaraki, we will discuss the situation when everyone is here," Yamamoto sounded before he could comment on anyone.

He took his place since Yamamoto was the only person he would listen to and the last person finally showed up.

"What in the blazes has happened?" Kurosuchi stormed in.

"We're all wondering that," Kenpachi pointed out,

The usually odd captain of the 12th was still odd. His blue hair was slicked back his make-up made his face all white and around his eyes black. His attire consisted of a very dark and old fashioned frilly suit with a long black and red cape.

"I know you would be numskull but I thought at least one captain would have a clue," He glared at the pirate.

Kenpachi gladly entered the glaring contest until Yamamoto sounded, "Get into your places and we may be able to have a decent discussion about the situation."

The two grudgingly obliged.

"Now," He began, "As we have all noticed the Soul Society and ourselves have seemed to have changed overnight to what only can be explained as some kind of fairy tale world. Does anyone have any clue on what has happened?"

"I am not sure how it is possible, Head captain,"

Hitsugaya braced himself as Unohona began to talk,

"But a few years ago I asked Captain Hitsugaya to come to counselling fearing that he didn't have any sort of outlet to help deal with his responsibilities,"

She got a few strange looks to why she was bringing this up,

"He showed me a way that he did this already and it was a story book that from what I read of it mostly matches what I've seen today."

"Mostly?" Soi Fon questioned.

"Konamura is a bit different," She said.

"That's cause I didn't know what Konamura looked like when you read it," Hitsugaya filled in.

"Soi Fon is also a bit different,"

"I changed her after seeing a movie called The Matrix in the world of the living," He admitted.

"And you," She looked to Hitsugaya.

He shrugged, "I changed my character whenever I got bored."

"So…this is basically Hitsugaya's imagination?" Kyoraku blinked.

"It seems," Unohona sighed.

"So what, pray tell, Hitsugaya am I supposed to be?" Byakuya Kuchiki had a face as calm as cloud but his voice held so much venom it almost hurt Hitsugaya's hears.

"Captain of the Royal Guard," He replied, "You're outfit's the same a royal guards in England. Saw a picture of them once."

"I like it, kid," Kenpachi chuckled.

"And what the devil am I supposed to be?" Kruosuchi snapped.

"A Vampire," Hitsugaya answered shortly, "All of squad 12 are which is why squad 12 is that castle on a hill where it's always raining."

Kyoraku was having a bit of a giggle.

"I think you need to explain your story a little more Hitsugaya," Unohona pushed.

He looked to the floor. No one was supposed to read his story let alone him have to tell it to them. So he sighed.

"Right now we are in the realm of the Fire dragon warrior and Great King Yamamoto, Yamamoto and his 13 appointed generals keep peace over the land."

"May I suggest before we sit this seems like it may be a long story." Konamura suggested.

Hitsugaya sighed and next thing he knew most of the captain had sat down and he felt like he was about to talk to school children. He thought about what to say next.

"I'll go through the characters," He sighed, "Soi Fon is the leader of a group of assassins once an outlawed but brought within the law when Yamamoto offered you a position as one of the generals. You're whole squad is still seen as quite untrustworthy."

"And why would that be Hitsugaya?" She glared through the sunglasses taking it a bit too personally.

"You make a good villain when I can't think of anything else," He replied looking away.

She crossed her arms.

"Unohona is the kind but powerful fairy Queen who has always worked with the kingdom in order to make sure peace is kept."

Unohona smiled softly, she liked her part in the story.

"Like I said before Kuchiki is Captain of the Royal guard and him and his squad are devoted to the protection of King Yamamoto."

The noble seemed to ignore him for the hat.

"Konamura is a werewolf outcast from the pack that came to respect Yamamoto for his power."

Konamura didn't seem too bothered.

"Kyoraku is supposed to be a trader but he tends to steal a lot of the cargo he moves around and stockpiles it for big parties. "

Kyoraku smiled, "I like the sound of that."

"Kenpachi is a bit of a rival of yours," He continued, "He doesn't like how you keep your piracy a secret and the only reason he is a general at the moment is through community service for his crimes against king Yamamoto."

"Do we have ships?" Kenpachi asked.

Hitsugaya nodded, "Kyoraku's is called the pretty lady and yours doesn't have a name."

"Sounds right," he smiled at the thought of having a ship and drinking and killing etc.

"You're also a good villain if I need one." He muttered as an add on and quickly moved on, "Kurosuchi is a vampire and is watched very closely by the rest of the generals cause he and his squad are probably trusted the least. But you give us valuable information so the king puts up with you."

The man glared, "Well aren't I glad of that," He sarcastically spat.

"And finally Ukitake is…well…a bit insane really,"

Ukitake looked a bit shocked, "What do you mean Hitsugaya?"

"Well I based what you look like after a character called the mad hatter and sorta got a bit carried away with it in the story," He gave a short sheepish smile, "You're a genius so the king has made you a general but you're pretty off your tree."

"Oh…" He seemed a little hurt.
