Author's Note: This is my first Bleach fanfic... so be kind.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach because if I did do you seriously think that I would be posting this on fanfiction? I don't think so... plus I would be rich, and the last time I check I'm not rich.

Dream Sequence

It's the middle of the afternoon, there is a lone male standing in the middle of a city. All the people are hurriedly walking to get to work after their lunch break or they were running to arrive at an important meeting or appointment. The male watched as they walked right passed him and through him without a thought or feeling that maybe someone was there. The male was dressed in casual clothing consisting of a lightweight black zippered and hooded sweatshirt, underneath that was a dark blue t-shirt that fit comfortably, a pair of black cargo-style pants, and a black leather belt, and last but not least a pair of black shoes. The male's interest was piqued when he watched two men lift a couch and bring it into an apartment building. The male's ocean blue eyes stared around at the people walking up and down the street. The male lifted his hand and scratched the back of his head that was covered in short, brown, and messy hair. He went back to watching the people on the city street. He noticed a young woman walking underneath some construction when the platform suddenly collapsed and the young woman screamed as she was crushed under it. People who heard the scream and saw what happened quickly rushed to help the young woman.

There was a loud beeping noise filling the small bedroom. A fair skinned hand reached out from under the covers of the bed and hit the off button on the alarm clock. 'Aww... why the hell does morning have to arrive so early.' A male of the young age of 17 reluctantly pulled the covers off of him and he got out of bed. He quickly made the bed and then he got dressed in his school uniform and quickly ran a comb through his messy brown hair. He headed into the bath room to do bathroom related things... and left a few minutes later and went back into his room to grab his black messenger-style bag. He blinked his ocean blue eyes a few times in an effort to get rid of the sleepy feeling he still had. He walked out of his room and down the stairs and into the kitchen. "Good morning Isao." said his mother, Amika, in her normally cheerful voice. She was in the kitchen preparing breakfast. "Morning kaa-san." said Isao in a groggy tone. "I'm making breakfast... if you can stay a bit longer before heading to school." said Amika with a smile. "No I'll pick something up on the way. I have to be at school early today for a meeting." replied Isao as he opened the door and left the house. Amika shouted after him, "Is it with a girl? After all you have the nice athletic build that the girls like!" Isao shook his head in response and kept on walking. 'Does she really think that I would go to school early just to meet a girl?' [Come on... you know that you would go to school early for that hottie Orihime.] 'Shut up.' [See I told you.] 'Whatever.' Isao then walked into a small fast food place and ordered a bagel with cream cheese to go. This ended the little conversation between himself and his inner self. He arrived at school about 10 minutes later. Isao went to his locker and dropped off all the books he did not need for his morning classes. He then walked down the hall and went into the class room and sat down in his seat. (To tell you the truth Isao had no meeting today... he just went to school early to have some alone time before every one was in the class) About 20 minutes later the teacher arrived along with some students, namely Orihime and her best friend Tatsuki. "Good morning Isao-kun." said Orihime happily. Tatsuki waved at him. "Morning Orihime and Tatsuki." replied Isao as he continued to read the book he pulled out of his bag. "What are you reading?" asked Tatsuki as she walked over to Isao's desk. "Nothing that's important to you." Isao replied, not lifting his eyes from the book. "Really?" asked Tatsuki a slight frown on her face. ' Will she go away?' thought Isao with a smirk. Tatsuki lost interest in trying to find out what Isao was reading and headed back over to where her's and Orihime's desks were. Soon after the rest of the class arrived. The last people to arrive were Ichigo, Chad, Asano, and Kojima. Isao did not consider himself a friend of theirs but hung out with them sometimes.

School ended roughly 6 hours later and Isao couldn't be any more happy about that. He dropped off all his books into his locker because he had done his homework in the study period at the end of the day. He was walking home down a busy street and notice a young woman walking under a construction platform and his eyes widened. 'That's the same girl from my dream!' Isao ran toward her and quickly pushed her out of the way, only seconds before it collapsed. Isao screamed in pain as the platform crushed him. People ran to go help him. They managed to pull him from the wreckage and there was an ambulance waiting to take him to the hospital. He arrived at the hospital in serious condition nearly all the bones in his body were broken. He was also coughing up blood. The Doctors immediately rushed him in for emergency surgery but they had to stop half way through because Isao's heart stopped beating. They immediately started CPR but to no avail. Isao was pronounced dead just as his parents arrived. He was now in his spirit form and he watched as his mother cried into his father's chest. Isao wished he hadn't caused his family this grief... but there was no other way to save the young woman. Isao left his parents and his body back at the hospital and was currently at the sight that he died at. He did not feel any connection to the place as he stared at it. He put a hand on his chest and noticed something that wasn't there before, he looked down to see what looked like a chain attached to his chest but it wasn't connected to anything it was just hanging there. "Hm... this must be the chain of fate that spiritual people talk about." he said as he looked back up and he noticed the young woman had arrived. She looked like she was crying. "Oh.. I...I f-feel j-just terrible about t-the boy who s-saved m-me." she managed to say while crying. "You don't have to feel bad about me... I chose to save you." said Isao as he looked at her. She was very beautiful and had the most amazing green eyes but she did not hear him. But Isao figured she wouldn't be able to anyway, he just felt like saying it. The young woman left about 10 minutes later leaving Isao there alone.

Isao's legs were getting tired so he sat down on the side walk. 'Man... everyone is going to hear about this tomorrow at school. They will be all depressed, especially Tatsuki... she really likes me.' Suddenly a man with long red hair in a pony tail wearing a black kimono appeared. "Who the hell are you?" Isao practically shouted. "Heh... I'm Abarai Renji and I am a shinigami here to take you to the Soul Society." he said with a smirk. "Um... okay, I guess. I'm Katsu Isao not that it really matters." replied Isao still a little surprised. "Okay it's nice to meet you. So are you ready?" asked Renji an eyebrow raised. "Yeah... sure whatever." answered Isao as his surprise subsided. Renji then pulled out his zanpakuto and turned it around so the butt of the sword was facing Isao. "What the hell are you going to do with that thing?" asked Isao a little worried. "Relax I'm not going to hurt you with it." said Renji as he pressed the butt of the sword to Isao's forehead. Isao suddenly became calm and sunk into the ground from there he turned into a black butterfly which Renji carefully took into his hands and headed back to the Soul Society.
