Parents. They are supposed to protect you, stand by you, and show you right from wrong. So, why is it that I'm here. Hueco Mundo, more specifically Las Noches. I can smell the iron of my blood, as it runs down a mark on my forehead. He's just sitting there, that smirk on his face. I look at my bruised and bleeding hands, and look up. I cough and stare,then darkness overtakes my vision.

But... You can't find out this story, if you don't know the beginning.

I'll rewind.

***

A teenage girl is sitting on the porch of candy shop. Her long pale blonde hair flys in the quick moving wind. The tops of her eyelids flutter as she opens them to reveal large emerald green eyes. She lets out a laugh as a pair of dark arms in circle her thin waist and tickle her.

"Mom! MOM! STOP!" She squeals rolling over, hitting her head on the ground. "OUCH! Dad! Help!"

She continued to giggle, as the tan women tickled her harder. A man leaning agianst the wall of the shop pulled down the hood of his striped hat. The tan women pulled away, and jumped up pulling the young girl up with her.

"Oh, Kei. Calm down," the taller women says, ruffling her hair. The man walks forward the sun shining down on him, the pale strands of blonde hair shine as he nears the two girls. He leans into the cane he walks with, and glances to the mother.

"Jinta! Come on, I actually got them together!"

Jinta comes running out of the shop, a camera. He skids infront of the three people, and yells.

"SMILE!"

The camera snaps, as the people turn to it.

***

A few hours later:
Kei's POV:

"I really like it, do you mind if I keep it?" Jinta shrugs as he pushes and pulls the broom across the floor, sweeping.

"Why do you like it so much?" my mom says draping her arm over my shoulder. I smiled up at her, and leaned into her.

"I guess, because it's the only picture I have of our family." My mom, sighed and pulled away, kissing my forehead she walked into the shop.

"Honey, we aren't really a family." I heard her call from the other room. I sighed looking at the picture. She was right, I didn't even meet Kisuke, my father, until almost a year , I know him now, I live with him, he trains me. He's my dad.

"Here, Jinta. I got it." I walked towards him taking the broom in my hands, I started up on his pattern. "Go visit Ururu. She was restocking last time, I saw her."

He narrowed his eyes at me, then walked into the shop. I continued to sweep, my mind reeling. I looked up, shielding my eyes as the sun shone high over.

"Kei," I turned around to find a flustered Orihime standing infront of me.

"Hey, what's up? Why is your face so red?"

Orihime, smiles then pulls out a piece of paper.

"Toushiro asked me to bring this to you."

I stare at it, then take it in my hand. Opening it, I see clear, smooth, block lettering reading.

'Kei, the Head Captian wishes to speak with you. -Captian Toushiro Hitsugaya.'

I sigh looking at the note, I was really hoping to spend the little time we had before more drama started up, seeing as, we had just gotten attacked by bounts, then had to save Rukia, while we trained Ichigo. Well, rather my mom trained Ichigo, I just messed around really. "Are you going to go?"

"What? Oh yeah, ofcourse. If it's the Head Captian, it must be important."

Orihime smiled as we both started towards her apartment. I yawned, arching my back. We talked quietly, but I could sense she was htding something from me.

"Do you know what he wants to talk to me about?" Orihime looked away, not meeting my eyes.

"Uh... No, no, I don't."

I shrugged, but couldn't let the ominious feeling leave me. I knew that she was lying, but what about. When we reached Orihime's apartment, she smiled and welcomed me in. I could see Rangiku laying on the couch flipping through a magazine.

"He should be right through there," Orhime said pointing to a back room. I walked in, adjusting my skirt and shirt making sure that it was all straight. I hadn't ever meet the head captian, but I'd heard he was the creator of the Soul Society, or something.

"You came," Hitsugaya said, he was sitting on the floor crosslegged.

"Ofcourse, "

I was about to say more when the screen infront of us flickered. The Head Captian was standing, leaning into his cane, he had a long white beard and a large scar on his face. I stared then offered a smile.

"You are Kei Urahara. I should of guessed. You look exactly like your father, but have your mother's grin."

I smiled and stared.

"What can I help you with sir?"

I could tell by the change on the people also in the room's face, it wasn't good news. I sighed, and folded my hands behind my back.

"Kei. Do you know a man called Sousuke Aizen?"

I cocked my head to the side, and thought.

"Oh that guy that betrayed the Soul Society, right?" The Head Captian nodded. "What does that have to do with anything, sir."

"Kei, he wishes to kidnap you." I stared, how did this guy even know me. My mom may have held him when he tried to escape. But I had been standing on the sideline, trying to help some injured people, I was good at that.

"What? I don't even know him." The Head Captian looked to Hitsugaya then back to me.

"It seems that your power, is what attracted him to you." I blinked. My power? I just inherieted my mother's shunko. Soifon used it too, so what is the big deal.

"Not your Shunko, young one. Your fighting ability, and healing." I stared then it hit me. Ofcourse, my waikensu. A type of power I had been born with, it was rare, very rare. The person gifted with the ability was often troubled with visions of the future. I had my share of those, and I had just mastered it, a few monthes ago.

"My, my waikensu?"

The Head Captian nodds slowly, then stares.

"We are placing you under the protection of the Soul Society. A Soul Reaper will be on patrol around your home, twenty-four hours a day."

I sighed, and rubbed the back of my neck.

'Man, I hate it when people make a big fuss out of me.'

"Look, thanks for that... But I'm sure I'll be fine. I'm staying with both of my parent's, who are ex-captians. I'm sure, I'll..." But I was rudely cut off.

"Kei, you will accept the Soul Society's help." I turn to come face to face with my father.

"Dad?"

He stares, and looks to the screen.

"Thank You, Head Captian. We will be on full alert as well."

The Head Captian nodds,

"Very well, Kisuke. Please be safe, Kei." The screen then flickers and is off. I turn to my father, he's talking to everyone, but I can see a hint of worry in his eyes. I rest my hand on his arm, I can't breath. A sudden wave of nervous nausea flows over me.

"Kei?" I look up, and shivers run down my spine.

"Yes?"

"You ok?" I nodded, and rubbed my arms getting rid of the goosebumps. I wish what I had been saying, had actually been true. I wasn't ok. I was scared, which was rare for me. My mom had taught me to never show fear, to be strongfast to my beliefs. Never let the enemy know that you are fearful.

"Let's go home, ok?"

I nodded as he steadied me. The walk home was quiet, the sun was setting and I could feel night almost upon us.

"Kei, what happened back there?"

I shrugged, rubbing the back of my neck.

"I don't know. I guess...I got scared." I blushed, sighing. "Don't tell mom,"

"Why don't you want to tell me!" I heard before I was tackled to the ground. I squealed and was rolled over, my mom smiling down at me.

"Mom, you just, trained me better."

My mom cocked her head to the side, and pulled me up with her.

"Kei, it's ok. Your much braver than you think." She mused with my hair. "It's fine."

I hugged her, giggling. I looked up at the moon, is was a crescent. My favorite kind. My mom tickled me agian.

"Race you home!" She said, as she transformed into a black cat. I giggled.

"I'll win!" I said as I transformed into a white cat. Running after her. Little did any of us know, that we were being watched. A tall brown haired man, yawns before turning an dissappearing into a black hole. He walked slowly through a large fortress looking castle.

"Stark, what did you find out?" Aizen asked resting his chin in his hand.

"They told her," He said yawning softly.

"I thought they would, well..." He sighed, "I guess, we'll just have to get Aimi sooner. That's your mission, Stark. When the time is right, I'll send you to get, her."

"Yes, Lord Aizen." He yawns, before walking out of the room. Aizen chuckles and looks up.

"Kei, you'll soon be here," he paused. "If you want to or not."
