I DO NOT OWN BLEACHsadly. I only own my oc's!

"It'll only be a few days." Kyoraku reassured his nephew. The frown was apparent on the younger males face.

"Fine, but no longer than that. I already have to deal with Lilinette and I wont babysit anyone else." Starrk stated and yawned.

Kyoraku chuckled "Trust me, you wont have to babysit this woman." He told him. Starrk laid back on his couch, closing his piercing gray eyes.

"Whatever," he muttered.

"Mari, you can come in now." Kyoraku cooed to the mysterious woman. Starrk sensed a new person approaching. He opened one eye, he gazed at the surprisingly beautiful woman.

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Mari." She told him with a monotone voice. Her pretty face was emotionless.

"Nice to meet you too." He mumbled and closed his eye. Starrk didn't want to give his smug uncle the satisfaction of knowing he thought she was pretty.

"Starrk!" screamed a child like voice, he grumbled not answering. "Starrk!" she screamed again, her feet pounding down the stairs. "Oh hello uncle!" she said happily. Starrk opened one eye to glare at his little sister.

"What do you want Lilinette?" Starrk growled.

"Did you go to the store?" she asked in a snappy manor.

"Uh, yeah." He replied, closing his eye once more. Suddenly he felt a pillow hit his face. He bolted up and glowered at the smaller light green haired girl.

"You two," Kyoraku sighed, separating the bickering siblings.

"I'll go up to my room now." Mari told them and disappeared into the house.

"She's kind of," Lilinette paused, trying to find the right word "odd."

Starrk napped on the couch for hours. The warm, soft fabric lulling him into sleep. He woke up to annoying music, he sat up and stormed to Lilinette's room. Music blared through her door, vibrating the old wood. He flung the door open "Turn that shit down! For gods sake!" he shouted at her. She scowled at him, strutting up to him, she slammed the door in his face. Suddenly he felt someone walk behind him, he turned and saw Mari drifting down the hallway towards the stairs. "Going out?" he asked her, she looked over at him. Her intense green eyes latched with his, then something went off in his mind, her eyes were slightly familiar.

"Yes, don't expect me home for awhile." She told him. Her gaze burned through him, he swallowed nervously. Damn she was sexy, even though everything about her screamed innocent. It was her eyes that gave off a sensual vibe. He didn't usually hang around women, he didn't like them, but he wasn't gay. He just didn't like how women craved sex, at least the ones around him did. Even though this woman seemed to have no interest in him. That pissed him off.

She gave him a sudden scowl "Are you done?" asked the agitated girl. He then realized his eyes were lingering in areas they shouldn't.

He felt heat collect in his cheeks "Sorry," he mumbled. She then traveled down the stairs, her lush hair swaying with each step. His eyes followed her hips, feeling like a pervert he looked away. Damn his uncle, he didn't need this right now. Scowling, Starrk walked to his room to relax.

Mari slipped on her jacket feeling the autumn chill on her skin. She sighed as she walked, her eyes gazing at the ground. Sometimes at night she took walks, her mind was always extremely busy, the night air helps clear her thoughts. She kicked a rock and watched it skip in front of her. Her father was good friends with Kyoraku. Since things were getting rough at home he asked Kyoraku to take her in, some place he didn't have to deal with her. She was a third year in high school, her father thought that the problems might affect her school work. It wouldn't, but he certainly didn't want that. Bullshit, he just didnt want her around. So when Kyoraku got her, he took her to his nephew's house. He thought maybe she'd have more fun there. She remembered Starrk from a long time ago, although he doesn't recognize her, she could tell. If he did then he would've been shocked. Kyoraku warned her that along with their parents Starrk and Lilinette lost almost every past memory. Ever since that terrible car crash 2 years ago. Oh well, nothing Mari could do now.

She didn't know this city very well, and was pretty lost by now. She skimmed her palm along the brick wall. A lullaby began to play from her lips, it sounded eerie in the silent night. She sighed, her mother used to sing that to her. Until she disappeared. Mari frowned, breaking her usually expressionless face. As she walked down the sidewalk she heard laughing and men talking. She looked up and saw a large circle of guys, some smoking and drinking. They were all horsing around, Mari got an uneasy feeling. She turned around to go the other way, but someone grabbed her hand. She turned, an unfazed look on her face. Although inside she was panicking.

"Looky what I found boss!" yelled the man that dragged Mari back towards the group.

"Let go of me." She hissed and ripped her arm from his grip. She felt someone's eyes burning through her. She turned and saw a tall, blue haired man smirking at her.

"What's yer name?" he asked, she scowled crossing her arms.

"Excuse me? Who the fuck are you?" she snapped.

He raised an eyebrow, his smirk widening "Fiery, I like that." He said then laughed with his buddies. "My name is Jeagerjaques Grimmjow. Nice ta meet ya." He introduced himself. Mari rolled her eyes and started to leave, but the men wouldn't move for her.

"God damn it." She growled shoving a man to let her out. He pushed her back, she tripped backwards but fell into something firm and warm.

She blushed looking up at Jeagerjaques "I didn't catch yer name." he said, his tone dropping a degree.

"Does it matter? Just me the fuck alone!" Mari snapped.

He scowled "Just tell me god damn woman. I'm not gonna hurt ya." He growled. She backed up a little, she didn't like seeing his angry face, it was slightly scary.

"Fine, my name is Mari." She muttered, jumping further away. His shit eating smirk returned.

"Mari eh? Nice name ya got girl." He told her, she crossed her arms and looked away.

"Yeah whatever, can I leave?" she questioned with an edgy tone.

He shrugged "If ya want." He replied, the men parted and she bolted out of there. They all laughed at her reaction. She didn't stop till she got to the corner, checking her phone once she finally did stop, it was 8:30 already? She sighed, she did tell Starrk she'd be out for awhile.

Then again, she should start trying to find her way back, luckily she remembered the shops that led to the house. They lived in a more populated area, Mari must have traveled far out there. She felt excited when she started seeing the hustle and bustle of the city. She saw a lovely ice cream shop and knew she had to have some, she fished around in her pocket. Mari pulled out a couple dollars and hurried over to the shop. The girl behind the counter was short, she also had ice cream all over her face.

"Hiya! Welcome to Zaraki's ice cream shop!" she announced loudly. Mari nodded towards her, she looked at all the ice cream in wonder, how could there be so many? Which kind should she get? "My favorite ice cream is birthday cake!" the girl told Mari happily. Mari smiled gently at the girl, she looked far to young to be working. "My name's Yachiru! What's yours?" asked the ice cream covered girl.

"Mari, nice to meet you." Mari replied.

"You should get birthday cake! I really recommend it!" Yachiru told her.

Mari shrugged "Alright, I'm sure I can trust you." Mari replied handing over her money. Suddenly a huge man walked out of the back, he had dark hair and a nice scar down his face. Mari swallowed nervously while diverting her eyes.

"Oi, Yachiru, don't eat to much ice cream. You know you wont sleep if you do." The man reminded the pink haired girl.

She giggled "I know Kenny! I just cant help it! Have you met my new friend? Ummm, Red!" she exclaimed.

She already forgot my name, Mari thought dryly. "Hi, I'm Zaraki Kepachi. I own the shop." He stuck out his hand.

Mari shook it politely "Nice to meet you." She replied curtly, she smiled at Yachiru as she got her ice cream. "Thank you very much."

"Come back soon Red!" called Yachiru after Mari as she left.

Mari walked towards the familiar house, happily licking at her ice cream. She opened the door, she heard shouting. A scowl crossed Mari's face, she knew what it was, how could she not? "I said no!" Lilinette screamed.

"God damn it Lilinette! I try to sleep for a few minutes and your sticking your finger down my throat! What the hell is that about!" Starrk yelled back.

"I was bored!" Lilinette shouted.

Mari headed towards the screeching pair and glared at them both. They looked over, Lilinette seemed slightly afraid. "Please, stop yelling. You'll disturb our neighbors." Mari coldly scolded them like children. Starrk lowered his eyes, he seemed ashamed. Mari sighed "Goodnight." She said and walked up the stairs to her room. She threw her jacket on her bed while setting her ice cream down on her nightstand. She grabbed her pajamas, a white tank top, black flannel shorts, and white thigh highs. She slipped them on, before wiggling underneath the sheets she turned on her night light. The blankets were so familiar, they brought back many unwanted memories.

*"Starrk!" Mari gasped as snow collided with her face. She shivered giving him a not-so-happy smile, he roared with laughter, he shut up when a snow ball hit him right in the forehead. Mari giggled and hid behind a tree, the cold air nipped at her bare face causing her porcelain skin turn pink. She let out a breath of relief, thinking maybe he left. Suddenly he jumped in front of her, she squealed and ran away.

He caught her waist, she giggled as he spun her around. She looked up at the younger male, he was only 19 at the time, and she was 14. She blushed, his gray eyes mesmerized her, but when did they not mesmerize her? She had always had an enormous crush on him. They had grown up together, so it had naturally happened for the girl.

He set her down, his warmth fleeting her body much to her displeasure. She began to shiver, she then felt warmth encase her, ceasing her chills. She gazed up at Starrk surprised, he was wrapping his jacket around her. He smiled gently at the freezing girl. "W-What about you?" she stuttered from the cold and her bubbling nerves.

He shrugged "Eh, I'll be fine. Don't worry so much," he replied with a smile.

"Thanks," she murmured, a blush clear on her face.

He chuckled "It's fine. We better get back inside before you get a cold and I'm pretty sure dinner is ready by now." He said.

She nodded, he held out his hand, she gently slipped hers into his. Shockingly he laced his fingers with hers, she felt her heart thump wildly in her chest. Blood rushed to her cheeks, he simply smiled at her cute reaction. He might have known she had a crush on him, but he didn't know everything that he did had an affect on her. Then and in the future.*

The dream soon turned into a nightmare.

*"Mari! Hurry! We have to get to the hospital!" her mother sobbed. Tears stained Mari's pale face as they drove madly to the hospital. When they got there Kyoraku broke the news. Starrk and Lilinette had sustained critical injuries to the head loosing all their past memories, the doctor wasn't sure if they ever would get them back. It might happen in a month, a few years, or never. The worst part was both parents died.

Mari sobbed with her mother as her father spoke with Kyoraku in serious, low tones. After about two hours Starrk woke up. The doctor warned he was still coming off drugs so he wouldn't remember what happened in that room. Mari didn't care, she bolted to see him, she was the first one. Once she entered the room her stomach lurched, it was way too much for her then 15 self. All the beeping foreign machines, Starrk's terrible condition, and all the medicines made Mari light headed. Her heart was slowly splitting, she loved him, and there he was lying in a hospital bed nearly escaping death.

She slowly stumbled to his bed, he gazed at her, no recognition in his eyes. The once happy gray eyes were clouded with confusion, she had to just tell herself he was just still drugged. "S-Starrk?" she stammered, her breath hitched, her throat was dry, and her heart stopped.

"Who're you?" he asked. Spilt.*

Mari shot forwards in bed, her heart racing. Tears from her sleep wetted her face and the pillow that she had been laying on. She wiped them quickly away, crying was a weakness, she promised to never cry even if she hurt. She would never love again, it only brought heart ache. She vowed this a long time ago, she also vowed to never see Starrk again. In fear he would spark her feelings again, the ones she had pushed away long ago. But look, he had already started them up again. She didn't usually dream about him, but being in the same house as him was killing her already. She gripped her heart through her flimsy shirt, sighing she wished the pain would go away, that's all she ever wanted.

"Fuck," she muttered laying back on her bed.

Starrk laid in bed staring up at the ceiling in frustration, if he kept it up he was pretty sure there would be a hole in it. Why did she seem so damn familiar? He couldn't put his finger on it, and it was driving him up a fucking wall. All this thinking about her was definitely giving him a head ache. When he tried to remember back it always came up blank. The reoccuring thought then plauged him once again, she was so beautiful.

"Ah! Stop thinking about her." He growled to himself. He then thought of her eyes, they were the most familiar. He could only imagine what she would look like smiling, it'd be such a pretty sight. Then he realized he was thinking about her again.

"Shit," he mumbled closing his eyes "Just sleep for gods sake." He told himself. He turned over onto his side and slammed the pillow over his head, this was going to be one long night. Scratch that, its going to be a long few days.

I hope you didn't hate it! If you hadn't caught on this * means she's dreaming :P... Anyways, review and tell me how it was. That way I know if i should write another chapter! THANKS AGAIN!
