Full Summary: Ichigo is suffered a devastating betrayal by those she considered her friends.

But things go wrong and she somehow ends up receiving memories of three of her past lives.

Read more to find out what happens.
Story start:
Where I am...What happened? a voice questioned as it floated through nothingness.
Remember a voice whispered in the beings ear remember it whispered again.
Remember what? The being was confused...what she was supposed to remember.
Remember your life...remember why you ended up here...remember what they did the voice whispered again.
The being focused on what it was supposed to remember and it all suddenly came rushing back to it...no her. Her name was Ichigo Kurosaki and she was a substitute Shingami...was being the key word. Those damn bastards had tried to kill her...no they'd succeeded and now here she was floating in nothingness.
It's always the pure ones that get burned the voice whispered.
Ichigo started at the voice "who are you?" she asked managing to float upright...or at least she thought it was upright.
I have many names young one but most know me as Fate fate answered in amusement.
Ichigo blinked in shock, Fate...okay this was beyond weird.
"Okay if you're Fate then why am I hear if I'm dead?" Ichigo asked sarcastically.
Fate giggle amused you're here because I'm giving you a second chance to do with what you will, be it revenge, joining Aizen or just disappearing Fate said.
"You're just going to give me a second chance were, I will most likely kill those who killed me?" Ichigo asked incredulously.
All beings are inherently Neutral young one...it's what we choose to do that make us good or evil Fate told her Gods and Goddesses have no notions of human morals, we are not bound by feelings such as anger, sadness, hate and such...what you choose to do will not bother any of us
Ichigo didn't need long to decide...she was not ready to die just yet.
"Alright" she sighed "how far back can you send me?" she asked.
As far as I want, but for purpose's sake I will send you to just before the first Arrancar sighting in Karakura Fate answered.
Ichigo nodded, that would be best, she didn't feel like dealing with the Bounts again "alright let's do this" she said.
Very well...good luck Ichigo Kurosaki, may you find the happiness you deserve and with that Ichigo's world went black and she felt like she was swirling in a vortex of black, grey and white. The next thing she knew she felt an unimaginable amount of pain in her head and quickly blacked out not noticing when she thumped back onto her bed.

Oh my Fate said this will certainly make things more interesting
What will make things more interesting a deep voice growled from behind her? Turning she saw the Demon King Kyuubi walking up towards her tails swishing behind him lazily.
I seem to have made a mistake Fate commented idly completely shocking the king of Hell...Fate did not make mistakes.
What sort of mistake? He asked.
Well that soul I sent back into the past reacted differently to the transition at his questioning look she explained further she seems to have awakened the memories of several past lives...with the potential to harness the power of said past lives she said.
Kyuubi raised an eyebrow (he's in humanoid form by the way) and just who are her past lives? He asked.
Fate grinned wickedly Naru Namikaze, Holly Potter and the last one is a surprise she said.
Kyuubi's eyes widened...Naru...the bright cheerful girl he'd come to see as a little sister.
Things really are going to get interesting he muttered.
And none of it will be good for Soul Society...they really need this cleansing Fate muttered.
Kyuubi grinned darkly and I'm going to enjoy every second of it he said breaking out into evil laughter.

"Ow" Ichigo muttered sitting up slowly and rubbing her head hoping to get rid of the migraine "did someone get the number of that hippogriff" she muttered before freezing...what the hell was a hippogriff?
Sitting up fully it all came rushing to her. Her mouth gaped when she realised she had to complete and one incomplete set of memories inside her head.
"Why does this always happen to me" she muttered putting her head in her hands.
First my so called friends try to kill me just because I have an inner Hollow that's different from the other Visoreds and now I remember three past lives...well two and a bit the second one is still a bit blurry she thought.
She remembered in startling clarity her first and last life. The first one being Naru Namikaze, the most powerful Hokage ever to have existed and also the most loved by her villagers. She'd worked her butt off for their acceptance and had finally received it when she killed the supposed leader of the Akatsuki who almost destroyed the village entirely. After that it had seemed like Danzo would become the Rokudaime, but Sasuke had managed to kill him before he could be inaugurated so the position was still open. Thankfully Tsunade woke up not long after and was able to resume her position. She quickly made Naru heir to the Hokage position and trained her for the next four years before handing over the position. Naru reigned for sixty years before handing the title over to Konohamaru.
The other life she remembered happened not long ago. She used to be called Holly Potter and was the saviour of the wizarding world as well as a powerful mage. But the wizarding world had been afraid of her power and somehow managed to kill her using a combination of poisons and potions that weakened her magic.
The only life worth remembering was the first one...although I can't really tell for sure since I can't remember the middle one she thought sadly.
Ichigo was brought out of her thoughts by the rapid pounding resonating inside her head.
"Owie" she mutters before getting up and going downstairs to get some stronger painkillers from her father.
Walking down stairs she barely dodged her father's flying kick.
"Not now dad" she muttered walking into the clinic "I have a migraine" she groaned.
"Daddy will make the pain go away darling" Isshin shouted "do you want me to kiss it better?' he asked.
"NO!" she shouted kicking him away before wincing as her head throbbed "I'm not five...I just need some pain killers"
Looking down she missed her father's worried look before he went to get some stronger painkillers than the ones he kept in the house.
Handing them to his daughter along with some water he watched as her face relaxed as the fast acting pain killers took effect.
"That's better" she muttered as her senses started working properly, but when they did she noticed something weird, now that she remembered her past lives sensing Spiritual Pressure was suddenly easier for her, but why did her father have more than the normal human but less than a soul reaper.
"Dad" she said warily.
"Yes Pumpkin" Isshin said cheerfully.
"Is there something you're not telling me?" she asked slowly.
Isshin froze...he knew his daughter couldn't sense Spiritual Pressure very well so she couldn't be suspicious...right.
"Why would I keep something from my eldest?" he asked nervously.
Ichigo narrowed her eyes and stood up; taking a step towards her father who stepped back nervously...her punches hurt more when she was pissed.
"Daddy" she said sweetly making Isshin sweat nervously she only called him that when she was pissed or wanted something "what do you know about Shinigami?" she asked innocently.
Isshin gulped nervously...crap.
"Death gods sweetie, don't talk silly" he said taking another step back when she stepped forward.
"Daddy I'm not stupid" Ichigo said eyes promising pain "I can sense you have more spiritual pressure for a normal human and there seems to be a barrier of some sort around it...why would that be?" she asked.
Isshin didn't know his daughter was quite this good at interrogation.
Ichigo inwardly smirked when she saw how nervous her father was. The perks of having a sadistic, blood thirsty demon sealed inside of you in a past life. If they liked you they taught you and Kyuubi had taught her a good many things from Demon techniques, Shinobi techniques, Tactics and Torture just to name a few...she could easily give Ibiki a run for his money in the torture and interrogation department.
Isshin seemed to be thinking things over before deciding it would be in his best interests to tell his daughter the truth.
He sighed "alright I'll tell you" he said before gesturing for her to follow him.
Somewhat surprised she followed him into the living room.
"I guess I'll start by saying that I was a Shinigami" he said shocking his daughter.
Ichigo frowned "was?" she questioned.
"Yes was" he said smiling sadly "I asked Urahara to make me a Gigai that would seal my powers off so I could live a normal life with you mother and eventually you and your sisters" he told her.
Ichigo was shocked...he'd given up his powers to be with them.
"What rank were you?" she asked wanting to know how strong he was.
He smirked "I used to be the captain of the tenth squad before that ice squirt" he said.
Ichigo blinked...a captain.
"Why did you leave soul society?" she asked not that she blamed him.
"I left because I was accused of a crime I didn't commit" he said "I hid outside of the Rukongai for a few decades before I decided to come to the living world where I met your mother and fell in love" he said smiling in remembrance.
Ichigo sat back, completely shocked by what she'd learned. No wonder her Spiritual powers were so strong for a human. She was technically half Shinigami. She bit her lip nervously wondering whether or not to tell her father about what had happened to her.
"Ichi-Chan" Isshin said using the nickname he'd come up with when she was little "what's wrong?" he asked seeing her internal debate.
"Dad...I, I need to tell you something" she said nervously not sure how her father would take this. It may not seem like it with his goofy attitude but he was extremely protective of his daughters...especially after their mother died.
"What is it?" he asked "are you pregnant?"
"NO YOU IDIOT!" she shouted whacking him on the head and sending to the floor twitching violently "I want to know what you know of reincarnation" she said.
Isshin blinked at the unexpected topic "I know it's real" he said and continued at her inquiring look "souls are regularly put into the rebirth cycle when they're ready to be reborn" he explained.
"Oh...so is it possible for someone to be reincarnated a year after they die?" she asked.
"Not really...they usually go straight to soul society first before being reborn as living humans" he said "only in special circumstances where someone is killed by someone they love or have an extremely hard life do they enter the cycle immediately to begin anew...why?" he asked curiously wondering where his daughter was going with this.
"Because" she began "it happened to me" she said softly.
Isshin froze...his daughter was a reincarnation. That wasn't what shocked him, everyone was a reincarnation of someone unless they were a new soul...but how would she know she was reincarnated.
"How do you know that?" he asked shocked.
"I remember" she said biting her lips as she felt tears well up. The feelings of anger, hurt and betrayal just kept building up and it hurt so much "I remember three lives, though only two of them are crystal clear, the other one is still blurry, but it's there" she said.
"How" he whispered "it's supposed to be impossible to remember past lives" he said looking down at his daughter who looked so crushed "what on earth could have happened to make you remember having not only one but three past lives?" he asked.
"Betrayal" she whispered.
"WHAT!" he exploded "who?" he asked angrily.
"Soul Society of course" she said bitterly "but it hasn't happened yet" she added hastily when her father moved to get up.
Isshin sat back down, stunned "what do you mean it hasn't happened yet...could one of your past lives see the future?" he asked.
"No" Ichigo shook her head "I've lived through it already" she said before telling him everything.
Isshin was completely shocked. Not only was his daughter a powerful Soul Reaper but the reincarnation of two incredibly powerful beings fully capable of taking on a Vasto Lorde. He had an idea as to what her other identity was but he wasn't going to say anything. He didn't want to be disappointed if he turned out to be wrong.
"What am I going to do?" Ichigo asked desperately.
Isshin sighed and looked down at his daughter "do what your heart tells you to do" he answered.
"Right know it's telling me to mutilate those bastards" she muttered darkly.
"Don't let it consume you" Isshin said warningly.
"I know" Ichigo smiled sadly "I know better than anyone what revenge will do to you...it practically destroyed my best friend" she whispered sadly her first tear falling.
Isshin hugged his daughter close as she cried her heart out at all the misery she'd been through. All she'd done, all she'd witnessed, all she'd been put through.
Hearing a sob from the doorway they looked up to see Karin and Yuzu. Yuzu in tears and Karin close to which really surprised Ichigo...but then again if Ichigo could still dry then so could Karin.
"Come here girls" Isshin said opening his arms.
Both girls raced forwards, Yuzu climbing into her father's lap and Karin into Ichigo's.
Isshin held his little angels as they all cried themselves to sleep. Ichigo due to pent up emotions and the girls due to all they'd heard their sister had to go through.
Why couldn't she live a normal life...away from fighting and war...grief, terror and hate...I didn't want this for any of them Isshin thought as he tucked them all into Ichigo's bed, Ichigo holding onto her sisters like they were a life line...and he figured they probably were. Her family as well as her human friends were all she had left and if his suspicions were correct she had three more friends and loved ones that were unreachable at the moment.
