Chapter 1- Meeting Me.

Hello there, it's a lovely day today isn't it? My name is Hana Yuri Kurosaki and I'm Ichigo Kurosaki's twin sister! I am now 15 years old and 5'3''. Short I know but Ichi-nii says that it makes me cute! He he, oh yeah, our birthday is the same day too! July 15! Anyway, I have hair that is the same color as Ichi-nii's and it reaches down to my ankles with a slight wave at the end, I also have an antenna on the top of my head. No matter what I do it won't go down! I have no bangs really but what were my bangs when I was younger isn't quite as long as the rest of my hair is. I keep most of my new little hairs pulled to the side with pink flower clips. My chest is just as big as Orohime-chan's but I don't understand why that's such a big deal. I have an indent above my heart on my front and back, it oddly enough doesn't bother me but it is strange so I cover it with bandages any chance I get. If you ever see me without my strawberry shaped necklace then something is dearly wrong! My Ichi-nii gave me that necklace so I can always remember him so I rarely take it off. My eyes are the exact same color as Ichi-nii's too! We have two younger sisters, Yuzu and Karin. Ichi-nii and I have always been able to see ghosts though I tend to go out and look for some to sit with in secluded places. I don't speak to anyone but Ichi-nii because I used to be made fun of for my voice. It was never very strong and it hardly sounds like I put any emotion into it when in truth I very much do. I hate being alone and feeling unloved; I also hate the winter and cold. I hate it because I love warmth and flowers, though I rarely hate anything at all! Ichi-nii is very kind to me and listens to everything I have to say when I do have something to say, even about girl things. Like once I had a crush on this boy, well more of a ghost than a boy, so I talked to Ichi-nii about it and he helped me figure out what to do. I am a girl who cannot kill anything, not even a bug! I accidentally killed one once when I was little and I began bawling, Ichi-nii had to make me stop crying. About the ghosts though, I met an evil one a long time ago but he didn't try to kill me. He was a kitty cat and I sat and talked with him for a while. The poor guy was upset that he was nothing more than a weak hollow so I encouraged him to work harder! I even got him to smile at me and he didn't seem too bad to me, so I continued talking to him. Eventually though, he disappeared and left me alone. He was one of my first friends so I was very sad. Now about things that I like to do! I love drawing and gardening. My garden outside at home is huge; it has some of my favorite flowers in it. I like roses of all colors, lilies, orchids, forget-me-nots, marigolds, snapdragons and bleeding hearts just to name a few. Ichi-nii helps me with my garden sometimes since it's so big. Otousan (Sp?) says that I could either be a famous artist or botanist when I get older. One thing about my drawings is that I tend to draw things that Ichi-nii and I eventually come across, like I drew Chad-kun a few days before we met him. Karin-nii says that it makes me a psychic or something! I love my drawings and I always show them to Ichi-nii, he tells me that I get better each time I draw.

He he, do you want to know why I'm named Hana? Okasan once told me that she and Otousan named me Hana because I was as pretty as a flower and my skin was as soft as flower petals. Oh, Hana means flower by the way! Yuri means Lilly, they were Okasan's favorite flowers and so I always loved my name.

I adore those things of the supernatural persuasion. He he, I used a big word huh? I'm smarter than I may seem to act but I really just want to stay closer to Ichi-nii, if he thinks of me like I'm still a little kid then he will stay close to me. I have a bit of separation anxiety you see, it was caused by me getting lost once when I was little. Otousan and Okasan had taken Ichi-nii and I to the park, this was before Yuzu and Karin were born, and I took off to explore without making sure I knew where everything was. I don't remember how long it took me to realize that I was lost but once I did I was very scared. I sat down on the ground and waited for a familiar face to show up but it didn't happen that day or night. The sun had been high in the sky by the time I was found the next day and since then I have been reluctant to leave Ichi-nii's side.

This is quite a bit to take in at once isn't it? Anyway as you may have noticed, I like to show my emotions but I won't do it until I get to know someone a little bit. You may have also noticed that I tend to ramble; my mind doesn't stay on one task at a time very well. Drawing helps me stay on task sometimes, music does too!

In my personal opinion, even a ghost is a living thing that deserves a second chance. It's like when I look at a dandelion, who decided that they were weeds? They are living; they have soft petals and spread seeds in a way that makes children happy. Just because they multiply quickly makes them a weed? Some people and creatures are like that. I despise judging others so I try to get to know and understand them first. Kind of like with that "evil" ghost from before!

I smiled up at the sky, the clouds look like flowers today. Clouds are another thing that I like; some people hate them because they cover the sun and bring rain. I love them; rain makes flowers brighter and perkier and refreshes everything. That's worth having to stay inside or a small bit of mud right? "When shall you let me see a rainbow again, Mr. Sun?" The orb of light didn't answer my quiet question but I smiled up at it anyway. The sun was emotionless but it still brought light to the earth and allowed life to go on, there was no time for emotions when you were as busy as the sun is. "Hana, supper's ready!" Ichi-nii called out his window up at me; I nodded down at him and went back inside. I would love to tell you more but I have to go now so you just have to wait until next time to get to know me better. Bye!

Well, this is my first attempt at a Bleach fanfiction and I would like to know what you think. This is not an incest story though it may seem that way; Hana just wants to be very close to her only "big" brother. This will become a love story and there are subtle (I think) hints throughout this chapter at who it will be with.
