I do not own Bleach.


The rain fell down in sheets. The streets were washed out. No one dared to go out in this storm. Only one did.

"Can you hide her?" A woman dressed in a soaked cloak stood in from of the doors to a small shop. The front of her cloak bulged out. Indicating she had something under her cloak.

"From what?" The shopkeeper had a frown on his face. This was a serious time.

The woman took a step towards the man. "Everyone. No one can know she is alive." The bulge in her cloak was out of the rain. The cloak opened an revealed a small bundle of pink cloth. She handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took the bundle from the woman's arms. He looked down on the sleeping baby wrapped inside. "Do you want to know where she will go? And how she is doing?" She cradled the infant as she slept peacefully.

The woman looked away from the child and pulled her hood further down. "No. It is probably best that I don't know." She turned to leave, but couldn't stop herself from looking at the child one last time.

"What about your husband? He is going to be devastated." The shopkeeper saw the pain in the woman's eyes. This was hurting her as well.

The woman tore her eyes away from the infant. "I will tell him she is safe. Everyone else will think she died at birth. It's safer for her that way. So she can have a normal life." A choked sob came from beneath her hood. "Please watch over her. There is nothing else that can be done."

"The Soutaichou can't do anything?" The shopkeeper was surprised. The Soutaichou had as much power as Central 46.

"Not against them." The woman's voice cracked once again. "I should go. Thank you, Urahara-san." With that said, the woman ran off into the storm.

Urahara looked back down at the little infant. "Your mother didn't even tell me your name." He closed the shop doors behind him.

*TINGLING*

Urahara looked down at his feet. A small necklace laid on the ground. He picked up the small little chain and charm. The charm was a small pink sakura flower.

Urahara chuckled a bit. "Sakura. Definitely sounds like a name your father would give you." Urahara carried the infant through his store. It was a new life for the child. She needed a good rest.


So that is the start. I probably gave away who the parents are. But oh well. Let me know what you think?
