Author Notes: Thank you for choosing my story and welcome to my very first fanfic. This is the first time I am writing such thing and frankly I am very much afraid of your reactions. This story has been on my mind for quite some time but I didn't have the courage and time to put it on paper. I don't know what else to say but I sincerely hope you will enjoy this story. A warning though, my updates will not be as fast as you might expect because:

- I work and right now whole team is undergoing training for new software and it's from 8am to 4pm, so I hope you can forgive me; and

- I'm also writing my thesis and I'm running away from my tutor because I'm lazy *embarrassed*.

A few things or characters may appear and so this page will also be changed, keep an eye on it.

Warning: Dark themes, mature content, child abuse, rape and prostitution aspects.

Disclaimer: Bleach belongs to the wonderful mind of Kubo Tite. This story is only for the amusement of myself and others, and no money is being made.
