13 ways to die was a very successful story and being the morbid thing I am here are death's of the main characters (minus the deaths of the Gotei-13 captains. If you wish to see those then you need to reach my other story 13 ways to die) in alphabetical order. And as always I dun own a thing. 10 deaths per chapter hopefully I'll only need one chapter

1. Ganju Shiba died the thing he, "hated."

Some time after Ichigo had joined the Soul Society…Ganju found himself a shinigami himself. It had been sometime after befriending Hanatarou when the two had a conversation about the shinigami and then…Ganju soon found himself going to the school, and then wound up under Zaraki's command. Ganju's excuse was that Hanatarou needed protecting from bullying. Ganju served as a shinigami…increasingly growing proud of the his role as shinigami, the thing he hated most. About three years after young Hanatarou's death Ganju found himself bleeding out as he leaned against Ichigo. A hollow had bitten Ganju's arm and shoulder completely off, and there was no one to help him. "To think that I'd die…like this…oh well not so bad…" Ganju wheezed, "Not so bad goin' this way." And before Ichigo could tell Ganju he wouldn't die...Ganju did just that.

2. Hanatarou Yamada died well rested.

Hanatarou was a studious young shinigami, always working to help those he cared about-and those he didn't. He was always tired, pale, and a little under weight from his overworking. But when Ganju joined Soul society he was happy to notice that the people that picked on him gave him a wide birth. Ganju was a real good friend. But eventually as all things do after years of neglect and abuse, Hanatarou was beginning to feel rundown. And as he walked towards Headquarters on a practically rainy day, he collapsed falling asleep through the whole storm. It was Byakuya Kuchiki who found him and carried the sleeping Hanatarou to the medical building. He slept for another three days, his friends constantly checking in on him. And while Ganju and Captain Unohana were at his side, Hanatarou finally woke up and smiled. Then he sighed and closed his eyes rolling over to go back to sleep. He died just like that…it seemed his body just couldn't take how utterly exhausted it was any longer.

3. Ichigo Kurosaki died old.

Ichigo joined Soul Society soon after high school, and took Rukia as his wife. They had three sons, all who Ichigo was very proud of. Ichigo Wound up becoming the leader of the 5th squad soon after joining soul society,(and before he married Rukia) and was considered a very respectable, if not unpredictable Shinigami. Though he never changed in his outward appearance, Ichigo lived a long, long time. However shortly after Rukia's untimely death, he died in his sleep. It is said he just let his life go, to be reborn and find Rukia once more.

4. Ikkaku Madarame died trying his best NOT to die.

Ikkaku had always thought he would die fighting along side with Yumichika, and under the command of Captain Zaraki. He also thought that they would both be present at his death. But to his surprise, he was attacked while out on his own-he was getting beer for God's sake when it happened! Apparently someone from the 12th squad had lost his marbles, and mad with power went out on a killing spree. However it was he who took down the punk that dared to slice him up like a turkey. He leaned against a wall, and ordered another shinigami to go get Yumichika and his Captain, and to bring them both here. He wanted them here…that was what Ikkaku had promised himself. That he'd die with them present, and so as he waited for hours bleeding and in the worst of pain he could recall drinking all the beer he had bought as he waited for them to arrive. And so they did, Yumichika reaching him first, eyes wide with unmistakable disbelief and fear. Ikkaku held out his hand and muttered, "Hey Yumi." Yumichika took his hand just in time to hear Zaraki mutter, "Faggots." Ikkaku looked at Yumichika, then to his idol, and then at the fully-grown Yachiru before sighing, "Alright then, I'm off." And with that he relaxed and eased into death.

5. Inoue Orihime died a grandmother.

Orihime had found herself content and happy to be with Ishida. He was kind and she bore him a son and a daughter. Her life was wonderful, and she did her best to make him happy, even if her cooking scared him and the children. She lived to see her son and daughter marry, and hold three of her grandchildren. She was at the age of 86 when her life gave out. Orihime had been happy to see it was Ichigo and Rukia who came to retrieve her. And before she left she kissed each grandchild good-bye before placing another loving kiss on Ishida's lips.

6. Isane Kotestsu died ill.

It was strange for the lieutenant of the 4th squad to die in the manner she did. Ironic that she would die from an illness. She had played in the snow to long, and went to bed wet. She caught a cold, and didn't bother to rest-a foolish mistake on her part. Soon she was so ill Hanatarou was taking care of her…but she died four days after getting sick. No one found any humor in her surprising death…but it still bothered everyone to see someone who had healed people, die and fade from their world.

7. Ishida Uryuu died cursing his luck.

A few years after Orihime's death, Ishida followed her into the after life. He hoped he would see her again, maybe she would greet him…hell maybe she'd been waiting for him. However, the shinigami that came to collect him was none other then Abarai Renji. "Oh not you!" Ishida burst pointing. Renji held up a fist, "Hey you cold bastard do you want to move on or not!?" Ishida muttered oaths and with a grumpy expression snapped, "Just get it over with…" Renji smiled at the Quincy, "Glad to see you again too." Ishida let his shoulders droop, "Yeah, yeah whatever...let's get out of here Abarai!"

8. Isshin Kurosaki died watching.

Isshin had bid his son farewell when his son chose to travel to Seireitei. He had seen both his girls marry before it was his time. He'd been buying baby clothes for Karin and was gleeful that his daughter was pregnant. Ah he could not wait to be a grandfather! He couldn't be more delighted. He had the right of way as he skipped through the crosswalk, but a car smashed into him sending him flying. He felt that cold chill and knew it was over. Sliding on the ground he lay broken in the middle of the road. Eyes cast upwards he reached into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled cigarette. Popping it in his mouth he sighed wondering who would come to get him. As he was slipping he felt a hand on his face and with a pleased whisper he sighed, "Honey…you've come to get me?" And then a soft feminine voice, fluttering lightly against his cheek, "Yes…I'm here."

9. Izuru Kira died knowing what to expect.

Kira had always known how he was going to die. He knew he would die trying to set the wrong things right...the wrong things that his Captain had left him with. So when Gin thrust his sword in his belly Kira looked at Gin with his still faithful eyes. "I might h-have followed you, you know." His former captain nodded his head his hair casting shadows over his eyes. "I know Kira-chan," Gin whispered, "I am grateful to ya' though..." Kira jerked as the sword was ripped out of his body. He sighed dropping to his knees falling forward into his captain's embrace. Kira sighed closing his eyes nestling his head in the crook of Gin's arm, knowing that Gin would miss him…and then Gin too would die.

10. Jinta Hanakari died with style.

Jinta was cocky, that much was obvious. And when he grew to be a man he was still cocky. He was stopping by Ururu's grave, placing some flowers on her memorial slab. He shifted uncomfortably before kicking her head stone and snapping, "You're so stupid…you cry baby!" And then he turned sharply heading off. On his way to Urahara's shop he ran right into a hollow…he had not weapon, no means to defend himself but he frowned and did his best to run and dodge any attacks all the way to the shop. He was fierce in his own defense, and by the time Tessai had shown up to help take care of the hollow, Jinta was already half way gone. Tessai cried as he held him, but never said a word. Jinta snorted smirking, "Did ya see me…I-I kicked total ass…" And with a strangled cough Jinta passed on wondering if he would see Ururu again.

End of this one. There are more chapters to come.
