Chapter One

Below Urahara's Shop


Cool metal met with her sweaty palm. The girl, only eleven, watched the group that stood before the gateway. One was noticeable even with the distance between them. She knew who it was, even without looking at his face. Ichigo...she thought.

Making her way down the metal latter, she picked up bits and pieces of the conversation. Most of which she didn't understand. "...they plan on executing her...remember don't look back..." She saw who spoke. A man with a cane and a green striped hat sat upon his head. Clogs also graced his feet, what a weird man...good thing he has that cane, without it I think he'd trip.

As soon as her small feet caressed the rough dirt, she dashed closer to the group, making to sure to have her presence remain unnoticeable. Hands trembling, she grabbed the boulder nearest to her. She lifted her head, watching them.

A small black cat stood before the group of four, the feline's eyes catching notice of the small girl. Well this should be interesting, the cat thought.

Said girl took notice of the three other members of the group. She immediately recognized the orange haired girl. Orihime... Next, she looked to the buffer dark-skinned male. And Chad's here, too? She looked to Chad's right, noticing the shorter boy. This one she didn't recognize. And then there was Ichigo. He looked like his normal self, although he wore a strange outfit and a butcher-like blade was secured to his back.

Her eyes went huge, what's going on...? She lowered her head, What has Ichigo gotten himself into?

"Be careful, and please...don't get yourselves killed," A voice boomed , causing the girl to jump.

She looked above the boulder as one by one went through the gateway, until only the girl, the cat, and the weird man with clogs were left.

"You can come out now, Miss Karin Kurosaki."


Faster, faster, I have to move faster! She yelled at herself. I've got to get out of this place! Her legs pushed her faster,her breathing came out in short huffs. Sweaty palms grasped cool metal, looking up she could see the opening she had climbed down from.

Karin pulled herself up, one bar at a time. Her sweaty palms were making it harder to climb. One more to go, just one more! And then she lifted herself onto solid ground. She stood, readying herself to make a dash, only to be greeted with a large man with a blue apron. Startled, Karin took a step back, only realizing to late that that would be a mistake.

Karin Kurosaki, eleven years old, fell to the rough dirt below.


Ha, I know I shouldn't be starting a new story, but I've had this idea stuck in my head for awhile now. This idea was greatly influenced by a FF that has been inactive for a year or two now. I loved it to bits. Their are going to be some similarities within the first couple of chapters (it was only like 7 chappies long) So, yeah. I hope you enjoy! n_n let me know what you think c:
