I don't know if this is what the guest that asked me to write this was thinking of or not. The plot is still very much the same as Bleach: Hell Verse, just with a lot of differences. Don't worry, I do want to write a Bleach fanfic with Ichigo having a connection to Hell, I just haven't thought of anything for it – well kinda, just not going into Hell. You'll know what I'm talking about after I finish 'My Hollow Siblings' and another fanfic. Well, anyways, I hope you enjoy this story! ;)

PS. I'll be writing this on my own time. So this might not come out weekly. ^^' My Hollow Siblings is my top priority! ;P

I don't own Bleach; I only own Brielle the Dark Dragon.

Ichigo and Brielle were walking home from school when they see a basket full of flowers lying on its side by a street lamp. They look up to the sky when they thought they felt someone there; it was a ghost of a little boy. He pointed out the thugs that were coming back toward them. Ichigo didn't bother to look, he just stood there waiting, but his soul sister did.

There are three thugs and one of them demanded, "Hey, what are you doing on our turf?"

"Huh?" Ichigo now looks down toward them; not answering their question.

"Are you stupid or something?" Thug No. 2 asked.

Thug No. 1 steps closer. "You don't speak? I bet you cry!" He went in to punch Ichigo, but the orange-haired teen lifted his foot and planted it in the guy's face. The delinquent fell to the ground.

Brielle couldn't help be chuckle a little. She saw that coming a mile away. "I bet he's the one that's going to be crying soon," She said to the ghost boy, who nodded in agreement.

"That and the rest of them," The boy replied.

Ichigo snapped his hand to point at the flowers while still looking at the other two thugs. "What the heck happened to those flowers?! Do you know why those were put there?" He demanded.

"Um, I guess they're for a kid that was k-killed here?" Thug No. 2 answered.

"Mind telling me why it's knocked over…?" Ichigo growled.

"Because we thought it would be fun to knock them over…" Thug No. 3 managed to choke out.

"Exactly, and that's why you own this boy an apology," The orangette said while putting his hand on the ghost boy's shoulder, even though the three thugs couldn't see him.

"Um…how?" They asked, looking where Ichigo's hand was, but not seeing anything but thin air.

Ichigo got a tick mark on his forehead. "I SAID APOLOGIZE!" He demanded.

The three thugs bowed while shouting, "We're sorry!" Ichigo stomped his foot down, and they ran screaming in fear all the while Brielle was rolling on the ground laughing and pointing at them.

"Thank you for your help," The boy said, looking up at the hybrid.

Ichigo looked down at him with much softer eyes. "No problem," He said while walking over to the knocked over flowers and picking them up. "It wasn't nice of them to knock over the flowers that you parents went through the trouble of getting."

"You saw my parents?"

"Yeah, they worry about you. You should make peace with yourself and cross over," Ichigo advised.

"If I do, wouldn't I go to Hell?" The boy asked.

"No, you wouldn't have to worry about that. You did nothing wrong," Brielle told the child.

"Like she said, but you can't stay here for too long. You need to cross over to the Soul Society, otherwise your parents won't find closure" The orange-haired teen said.

The boy thought about that for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll go when I see my parents one more time!"

"That's the spirit," Ichigo said while holding up his fist so he can fist bump with the kid. The ghost boy did with a little giggle, and then he disappeared.

The soul siblings left as well. But on their way home, Brielle said, "You know, I got the feeling of déjà vu out of that whole event."

Ichigo put a finger under his chin in thought. "Hmm, you're right, but where did it happen?"

'He forgot?!' The dragon stared at her brother in disbelief, but then saw his smirk. She hit him in the back of the head with her tail. "You moron, you had me worried thinking that your memory was getting worse!" Ichigo started cracking up with tears running down his face.

That night, Ichigo was doing his homework while his soul sister was glaring at the night sky with some low growls coming out every now and then. The orange-haired teen turned to face her. "Brielle, what's wrong? You've been growling," He asked.

The feather-winged dragon turned to her brother. "I have?" She never once noticed that she was growling. She shook her head. "Whatever, I've been feeling like we're being watched, and been having a really bad feeling," She explained.

Ichigo walked over to her, glad that he was already done his homework. He sat down on the bed and started petting her wing. "I'm sure you're just being paranoid. It has been peaceful for a few months now. So you could just be thinking that something is going to happen now that it's been quiet," Ichigo hopes that what he said would help calm his dragon-sister down.

Brielle sighed, "Yeah, maybe. But what if there is something? You know that my instincts are hardly ever wrong if not at all."

"You may have a point there, but I'm sure nothing will happen tonight. So, let's just go to bed, alright?" Dark Dragon took a deep breath, relaxed, and then nodded. "Good," Ichigo said while patting his sister on the shoulder, and then got ready for bed. He lied down and pulled the covers over him. He felt a weight on his side, so he looked to see that his sister is using him as a pillow again. His lip twitched up into a smile. "Night…" Brielle just let out a low purr as a reply; they both fell asleep.

Yeah, I know this chapter isn't very long, but the next one should be.

Ichi: Ah, it's the final story for the "Things get Worse" series.

Enj/Bri: Yup! ^-^

Aizen: Why are you writing it now? :/

Enj/Bri: Because I said I'd write this after My Hollow Sibling to someone, but then to someone else I said I'll write two stories without my OC in it after MHS, and then write a story about Ichigo interacting with the Dark Beings. So I thought I should write this now.

Ichi: *whispers* Wow, and she calls me a moron… -_-

Enj/Bri: You know I can hear you, right…? *glares at him*

Ichi: O_O I'M SORRY! DX *runs away*

Enj/Bri: *sigh* The only reason I'm not going to make him suffer is because he's right. I forgot I was supposed to write this after MHS.

Aizen: Darn. I wanted to see him suffer again. :(

Enj/Bri: Don't worry, you will. Then again, you'll be suffering with him.

Aizen: WHAT?! D=

Enj/Bri: Please review! ;)
