Hello! This is my first story to contribute to the Bleach Fanfiction Archive. Tell me what you think!

Prologue

I ran through the rukon district. I was being chased again. The Soul Reapers were after me. They told me that I had killed one of their comrades. Someone had appeared out of nowhere and attacked me. I had the basic grasp of spirit energy so I was able to knock the man down and what I thought was unconscious. Whenever they saw me around they took chase, but I always got away. I looked back through the crowd. It looked like they were from the third squad, but not seated officers. I turned back around and took off. I took a short cut through an alley way to the next shop street. I looked back to see if they were still behind me. Then I collided into a person. I saw a white coat and a black uniform. The man crouched down and grabbed my wrist when I tried to run.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you." The man said. I heard the running footsteps. I looked and saw the Soul Reapers running towards me. I clutched the man. When they saw the man they stopped. "Are you chasing after this girl?" he asked

"Yes sir, she killed one of our comrades. We've been chasing her for a while now."

"Did you ask her why she killed him?" the man asked

"No sir."

"Then why don't you ask. I don't think a little girl like her would kill without a reason." He looked at me as if saying to explain myself.

"A man appeared out of nowhere about a month ago and attacked me. I thought I knocked him unconscious with my spirit energy. But I guess I killed him. I didn't mean to kill him, I swear!" I said. I felt tears begin to fall down my cheeks. I covered my face with my hands and cried harder. I admitted I had just killed a Soul Reaper.

"Go back to your duties." The man said. They gave a 'yes sir' and ran off. The man gently pulled my hands from my face. "Can you tell me where you live?" he asked. I gave a nod. He stood up and held out his hand. I only came up to about his hip. I took his hand and I led him to where I was staying with my adopted grandmother and adopted brother.

I jolted awake from the bitter sweet memory. I got up from my bed and opened the sliding door. The sun was just rising. I cleaned myself and got dress. I slipped on my haori and walked to my barracks. It was still early. I had left my hair dye in my office. I just hopped no one was there to see me. I jumped and ran at my captain's speed and stopped in front of the barracks. I opened the doors and walked in. I stopped in my tracks as I saw Izuru staring at me with wide eyes.

"Captain?" he asked

"If you excuse me Izuru, I left something in my office." I dashed into my office and grabbed the dye. As I ran out Izuru grabbed my hand.

"Are you really who I think you are?" he asked. I pulled my hand from his grasped and went to the bathroom. I used the black dye and walked out feeling more comfortable.

"Izuru, when the squad gets here, please inform them that there are evaluations today as well as any paper work for this month's missions are due." I said walking back into my office. My long black hair swished behind me as I closed the door. I sat down at my desk and rested my head on my arms. I had no paper work as I had already done all of it. Suddenly a silver and black butterfly flew in threw the open window.

"You left me behind again, at least wake me up before you leave." She said landing in front of me.

"I'm sorry, I woke up early again." I said

"Have you been dreaming about that day again?"

"Yes…I miss him Sapphire. He was the only one who I felt like I belonged with." I said. Just then Izuru walked in.

"The head captain has requested our presence with the rest of the captains and lieutenants." He said. I gave a nod and we headed to the Squad One Barracks. Normally Izuru and I messed around but not today. We walked in and kneeled before the head captain.

"It has been decided by Central 46 that you have no need to hide anymore." The old man said. I looked up shocked. Momo stepped forward and performed a kido. I was surrounded by water and the black die came out of my hair. The long silver strands floated around me and then I was released. I heard most of the captains gasp in shock as well as most of the lieutenants.

"Is it really her?" Soi Feng asked.

"Yes, it is." The head captain said

"We were told she was killed by the rest of her squad." Momo said

"She was injured, you are to inform all of your squads of this as soon as you see fit. Dismissed." The captains gave a nod and we all walked out. Izuru and I walked out in silence. As we headed to the barracks he finally said something.

"Why didn't you say anything?" he asked

"I didn't want to get anyone involved in my family affairs." I replied quietly

"But still, you could have trusted me."

"Could I? Right now can you honestly say that you aren't thinking of him and how he hurt you?" I asked seriously. He looked away.

"You look so much alike… it's hard not to think of him." He said. I gave a nod.

"Tell me when it's time for the inspection…" I said as I walked in to my office. I slid the door closed and sighed. I walked over to the full body mirror I had in the corner. My long silver hair went all the way down my back. My Soul Reaper uniform was slightly loose around my chest. It showed off my curves and rather large breasts. My Squad Three haori fit me perfectly. I met my own eyes in the mirror. The bright icy blue was exactly like his. I leaned my head against the mirror.

"Gin, brother…I miss you…" I whispered to myself.

So? I know it's a little short, but I needed it to be that way. Also, I need a name for my OC and a character to pair her with. Any ideas? Please like, follow, and comment.
