Summary: In a three floor apartment complex five apartments were occupied in peace for months until a certain number 4 was reoccupied. A week after so occupation was taken a bit of bad luck and pure misfortune leads Hanatarou in need.

1- Yumichika Ayasegawa, 2- Kisuke Urahara, 3- Gin Ichimaru, 4-Hanatarou Yamada, 5- Sousuke Aizen, 6- Byakuya Kuchiki

Room 3

For Hanatarou Yamada it was a normal day. He went to work at five in the morning taking the half an hour walk in the gloomy chilly morning. He was a few minutes early, more like five but he waited calmly for his boss, Retsu Unohana to open up shop. It was a well run, cozy coffee shop. It was very popular on weekdays and on the weekend people seemed to just hang out there. This is not where our story takes place.

After his shift ended at two thirty he headed on his half hour walk back home. He was half way there when it began to instantly pour rain. The cold weather and rain made a terrible combination. He ran for the complex. He was freezing. A few steps away from the door he pulled his keys out of his pocket. The thunder roared viciously and with his amazing luck they went right down the sewer.

Yamada just stared at the sewer in the freezing rain with total disbelief. He feared taking his cell phone out of his pocket. The damage was unknown. He was hoping to buy a new one anyway. He headed inside regardless of the key situation. Maybe a fellow complex neighbor would assist him.

The boy of total misfortune faced the first floor apartment 1, Ayasegawa. "Excuse me, Mr. Ayasegawa?" The boy called as he knocked on the door.

A voice simply called, "Go away, I'm not interested."

"Please, it's Hanatarou Yamada from apartment number four; I need some help you see I dropped my keys-"

The door opened quickly and Hanatarou was relieved. "He said he wasn't interested." A bald man answered the door with a glare. The small boy out the door was soaking wet and visibly frightened. The baldy smiled and slammed the door in his face, So much for friendly neighbors in apartment one, maybe two?

There was no answer; no matter how many times Yamada would knock.

He walked up to floor two. It was his floor but hopefully Ichimaru would be more accustomed to being friendly than the occupants of apartment one. "Mr. Ichimaru?" Hanatarou tried his luck again with knocking. There of course was no answer. He sighed and pulled out his phone. It was soaked. Maybe he should give up on this friendly neighbor crap.

But then it happened, when all hope was lost and the fear for pressing on to the third floor of violent occupants a silver haired grinning giant walked down the stairs. "Were you calling?" The voice was like a godsend to Hanatarou's ear.

"Mr. Ichimaru?" The small boy asked observing his new company. After receiving a nod Hanatarou continued. "I lost my keys and I was wondering if I could use your phone mine was drenched in the rain."

There was a small chuckle. Ichimaru's smile still stood strong on his face. "Of course, come on in." His door was just unlocked. Open to the world to rummage through, yet inside it was spotless and untouched. The phone waited for him in his neighbor's hands gestured to him.

"Thank you so much." Hanatarou spoke in relief. He called the landlord. "Mr. Ukitake? It's Hanatarou Yamada calling I lost my keys and was wondering if you had a spare, I sort of," He laughed nervously into the phone. "I can't get in." His voice turned to worried. "Well, call me back as soon as you can, um well or I'll call you back." He hung up.

The occupant of room three still smiled. "Let's get you into something dry." Without time to protest the grinning man walked into another room and returned with a pair of pull string pajama pants and a large button up shirt. "I'm sorry, this is all I can imagine you not falling out of."

Hanatarou's face darkened at the man's comment. "Thank you, sir."

The man's face didn't change as he spoke, "You can call me Gin." Hanatarou nodded and was pointed to the bathroom to change. He had a overly nice neighbor. This gave him some sort of satisfaction at least he wasn't completely misfortunate today.

After changing Yamada came out with his wet clothes in hand, "I honestly can't thank you enough, Mr. Ichimaru." He spoke openly to the apartment since he had no idea where Gin had gone.

"Please, Gin, I insist." The smiling face appeared from the kitchen area. "I'll dry those for you." Once more Gin was gone before protest could be made and with Hanatarou's sopping wet clothes this time. The boy sat down on the couch comfortably. He was still chilled from the cold clothes. He wrapped himself up in the large baggy clothes.

He was honestly thankful for the help his neighbor had given him. "Thank you." He quickly accepted the tea Ichimaru now offered.

The smiling face was his savior. Ayasegawa shut him out, Urahara wasn't home or wouldn't answer and the third floor was always so intimidating. He seen them one day when he was coming home from work, they just screamed unfriendly or at least they chose the third floor to be left alone. Hanatarou's savior had disappeared yet again. He set his tea down and leaned back on the couch. A towel began to ruffle his hair about. "You're still soaking wet."

The younger of the two was rather taken aback by this. "Mr. Ichimaru," Yamada grasped the towel from his host. "You've done enough, thank you." He stood holding the towel and bowed his head. "Please is there any way I can repay you for your kindness?" He began to dry his own head of hair.

Gin sat down in a chair across from the loveseat Hanatarou had sat on before. "You could tell me who you are." His smile remained. His face rested on his hand and elbow on his knee.

"I am so sorry; please allow me to introduce myself." Hanatarou's face went tomato red. "I am Hanatarou Yamada; I live in the apartment across the hall, number four."

So what do you think? Review and I'll keep going.

I think it's an interesting idea. Plus I figured in everything else my two favorite characters can be together so maybe I'll make myself happy and do the same for Bleach. I have no clue yet.

Thank you for reading!
