DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own Bleach or any other anime or anime characters I write about. Of course, I own my OC's. But other than that, I'm own-less. And for this story, I give some inspirational/idea credit to Sabrielle after reading her story Observations.

When Hyourinmaru Was Human

"Shutup, can't you see I'm in an important captains meeting? Seriously Hyourinmaru, you're the most annoying zanpaktou sometimes."

"Look who's talking. Oh, wait, it's just Shiro-chan's tempermental ego again."

"It's Hitsugaya-taicho. And you, my icy fiend, have just as big an ego as I do."

"What do you expect? We teamed up because of certain similarities and differences. For example; Similarity: our blown up egos. Difference: I'm experienced in life, and you're not."

"'Experienced in life?' But you've never had a life…" A serious pause. "Have you?"

"You see what I mean? You are dense. Of course I had a life. What good would a zanpaktou be if they never had the chance to learn things on their own?"

"But you're a dragon."

"Yes, I am a dragon. Don't forget that. But that doesn't mean I always was. Being and having been. Lesson number one that Toushiro-kun has yet to learn."

"Fine. This meeting is boring. And you've sparked my interest. What was your human life like?"

"I don't remember it all. That was a very very long time ago. But some things just never leave you; some things stay with you, even after you've died twice."
