Chapter One: Welcome to the Soul Society Yuri Suzuki

My name is Toshiro Hitsugaya, I was born December 20th in the 20th AD. I died when I was 10 years old. People didn't really miss me since I didn't have any friends or family, I was just me and my mom. They said that I was as cold as ice and were afraid of me; although I never really understood why. I was quiet and keep to myself mostly and if I did talk to people I always tried to be kind, So I mostly stayed at home by myself except with my mom. I would say that I was sad and lonely that I didn't have many friends, but I didn't mind. I enjoyed the alone time, I could do whatever I wanted and had imaginary friends and was always writing stories. My mom at first tried to get me to make friends but nothing took even when I tried.

My life back then was happy for me to say the least, now I live here in the soul society as a Shinigami and the Captain of the tenth division of the Gotei 13. If people here knew who I was in the world of the living, they would be shocked not even Momo or Rangiku the people that I am closest to would believe it. I almost wouldn't believe it ether except that I still write stories daily as a stress reliver and I'll never say it out loud I still sometimes talk my imaginary friends to keep myself from going crazy. So, I'm still am that kid deep down locked away everyone. Maybe someday I'll be able to move past my uncertainties and my fears of people, but for now I'm happy being alone.

"Hay Captain, what are you going to do sleep the day away, and you say that I don't get any work done" said Rangiku ungently but laughingly at the same time trying to get me to wake up.

I opened my eyes realizing that I had fallen asleep on my desk, I had the most recent of my paperwork out and was relieved that I had blank page on top so Rangiku couldn't see my craziness.

Or… Was it a story he had written long ago? Toshiro didn't know

"Ran… Rangiku" I said sleepy, trying to wake up and robbing the gunk out of my eyes.

I had never fallen asleep before at my desk at work before, usually I was at my desk at home, at least I think he wasn't sure anymore.

"Wow, you really were out Captain, just how long were you working this time" Rangiku teased.

"I don't remember" I managed, (Toshiro's mind seemed unfocused and he didn't like the way the field of color was being transmitted through his vision) "I guess I lost track of time".

"Ok, I've heard of all-nighters but never all weekers" said Rangiku starting to laugh.

I turned my head back to my work ignoring Rangiku, starting to fall in to a daze. I put my hand on my hand on my head trying to get myself to snap out of it.

"Oh, come on Toshiro, can't you take a joke" said Rangiku.

Normally I would start yelling at and scolding her for using my first name instead of my title but right now I didn't care, I didn't feel like myself.

"I don't feel right" I said still in a daze. "Where am I? Who is this boy… His"- or was it hers? He was no longer sure?

"What are you talking about Captain" said Rangiku, "Maybe you need to take the day off, you have been working for a week straight."

I moved my hand from my head and saw blood on my hand, at first, I wasn't sure if I was just seeing things because my eye sight was burry, and the edges were black, but my hand felt wet and the blood was starting to drip on to the desk.

Rangiku eyes went wide "you didn't tell me that you were bleeding".

"I… I didn't realize that… I was" struggling to get the words out.

"Toshiro" she said and put her arms around me.

I wasn't sure how to react to Rangiku's hug, I mean she hugged me all the time but this one felt different. I tried to move my arm to return Rangiku embrace but it wouldn't move, as looked down I saw my arm was shaking.

"shh, shh" said Rangiku as she put a hand on my arm.

I registered that Rangiku had gotten up and was going away for a hell butterfly to send to Captain Unohana. I tried move my papers trying to figure out why I was writing if I was bleeding out of my head, what was so important that it couldn't wait, I mean I had a writing addiction, (Did he?) but I had enough common sense not to be finishing my paperwork with a bad head injury.

Toshiro pushed the papers away from the table, unable to even see them falling like snow.

One week earlier:

Toshiro was walking through the depths on the Rukon District, being careful to avoid bumping into to the surge of early morning vendors selling their wares. Though unbeknownst to him, it was utterly superfluous as the fear of reprisal from the Seiretei was a more than strong enough deterrent. He had come here to pray at the shrine that held his granny's ashes, praying till dawn. It was the anniversary of her passing and he wanted to show his respects. So, he had obtained special permission to take a couple vacation days, having to slog through all the necessary bureaucracy and convince the head captain to grant it. But now he was returning… Oddities were happening. For one he was getting lost on path's most familiar and well known to him. As he continued walking Toshiro started to feel that someone was watching him but wasn't sure who and every time he turned to look he didn't see any one. He could feel the spiritual pressure of the person, it was strong. Then a strange feeling came over him, it seemed familiar to him somehow, but he wasn't sure why. But ultimately, he decided to ignore it and tried to find his way to the shrine, as he walked his mind began to wander else were and began to saw flashes of someone else's life, but it felt like his, no wait her own he thought. He came to a clearing in the middle of ally way.

"Toshiro Hitsugaya, long time no see; or should I say Yuri Suzuki" the voice said.

I narrowed my brow, Puzzled at his response.

"How do you know my… I mean that name, and just who are you?" I said.

"So, I see you have forgotten me, but then again you were a little retarded back then; I bet you couldn't even remember your own Mother's name" said the man.

"Why don't you learn how to shut up, I don't know who you or how you know who I am and leave my Mother out of this; but you need to learn your place" I said.

"Fine, I'll be quit for now Yuri, but I thought that this would be a good time to catch up" the man said.

"ok, whoever you are talk, but make it quick" I said.

"Well like any good story, I'll start at the beginning; We meet at the store, you and your mom were shopping and off course you were hiding behind her like you always do. So, as I was see you I came up and talked to you and freaked a little because who would want to talk to the ice princess. I introduced myself and we it off and the two of us became like peas in a pod. We were best friends for months, that was until that night where I showed you my true colors and now where here, but that g version" he said.

"What do mean that's the g version, what is the real version, never mind enough of your lies" I said.

It was strange Toshiro thought for some reason the flashes that he was having seamed to line up with what the man was saying.

Toshiro pulled out Hyōrinmaru and pointed it the guys neck.

"My oh my Yuri, you've grown up since the last time we spoke; I remember when you were barely 10 years old, and since you don't remember my name I will tell you, my name is Kiyoji Nakamura".

A cold feeling went down his spine, and some reason Toshiro was becoming scared of him.

Wait I know that name, he was first boyfriend, Toshiro started to feel even more confused and didn't understand what he was saying any more and wasn't even sure that he was a he any more.

"Now, enough small talk Aizen wants us to go see him shortly" said Kiyoji.

"How do you know of Sosuke Aizen" I said, tightening my grip around Hyōrinmaru.

"Yuri my dear, I know all about Sosuke Aizen and what he has done, the soul society, Momo, that you are a Shinigami and a captain no less" said Kiyoji and he pulled his sword and it began to shine "yokote kozuka, soul Reversion".

"Was that supposed to be an attack Kiyoji" I said starting to sound cocky, which was strange I thought that he grown out of that faze years ago or did he…she.

Kiyoji began to smile "yes, Yuri just not in the way think" he said.

Toshiro was confused by Kiyoji was saying, and it seemed like he was started forgetting who he was while remembering something else and what Kiyoji said was starting to make sense. He looked down at my body and started fell awkward for some reason, like his insides didn't match his outsides. Then his eyes grew even bigger and dropped Hyōrinmaru scared out his mind.

"No way, this can't be Kiyoji in league with Sosuke Aizen and knows everything; what I'm I going to do, I'm still scared of him there's no way I can fight him and win; I'm completely under his control" I thought.

Both of lives began to become as one, everything from his life as Toshiro live left him and he fully became Yuri Suzuki. Then Toshiro's form changed in the little girl he was in the world of the living.

"Ah, there's my little Yuri" said Kiyoji; "Come along, there's work to be done" Kiyoji grabbed Yuri's hand and begin to drag her in the direction that he was heading

"Lord Aizen, will be pleased that his little princesses have come home".

All Yuri could do now was fallow Kiyoji to were ever they were heading. For what seemed like hours to Yuri they had been walking. She wondered where Kiyoji was taking her but dared not asked. She knew that when Kiyoji was busy he didn't want to be bothered with silly questions. Yuri thought that she knew everything about Kiyoji, since they were always together and told each other everything there were no lies, or so she thought. After that night when Kiyoji showed his true colors she realized that she didn't know him at all. They finally came to a stop at an old castle, she wasn't sure where they were exactly. The castle was in the middle of nowhere, and seemed to have a lot of weapons on the outside walls as if trying to block people from getting in and reveling its secrets. It as well had a lot of banners on the walls, but Yuri couldn't make out what it was saying.

"Welcome home Yuri, your Father wants to see you first thing" said Kiyoji smiling.

It wasn't a happy smile at all thought Yuri, it was downright sinister. She looked down… She didn't what to see him like this evil, cruel, lifeless… She wanted him to go back to the nice, quit, friendly, dorky guy, that she used to know. Then he grabbed Yuri snapping her from her thoughts and dragged her in to the castle. Then Kiyoji led her to the master's chambers where Aizen was staying.

"Aizen sir, I've brought the princesses just like you asked" said Kiyoji and let go of Yuri.

But Yuri kept her eyes on him even after Aizen began to talk. She didn't care about her father, if only she could talk to him without her father there. Maybe she could get through to him and get him back the boy that she knew, or at least understand why he did what he did to her.

"Good, now leave us Kiyoji" said Aizen.

Kiyoji bowed and left without saying a word.

"Kiyoji wait, I want to talk to you about what happened" said Yuri wanting him to stay.

But he continued to walk away as if he hadn't heard her She still wasn't sure what was going on, what did my Father want to do with now, we had both been dead for years now he could have come and saw me any time, but he never did. Yuri's Father(Aizen) had left before Yuri had been born and had never even bothered to come back after hearing that she had been born.

"Hello Yuri, I bet you have a lot questions, but we don't have the time for that now" he said sounding nice and with a welcoming smile on his face.

"Ok fine, but you could at least tell what we are going to do" she said deciding to see what her Father had in mind.

"Yes of course Yuri dear" said Aizen still in a friendly chipper mood.

Yuri felt something was off about her Father, she remembered what her mother had told her about him that he was all nice and sweet in the beginning but as time went on he became the devil himself and her mother meant it. But this man seemed to be the nicest man that Yuri had ever seen, how could her mother be talking about the same person, it seemed impossible to her. Aizen led her to a giant dark room inside the castle and I heard machines, but I couldn't make any of them out. The room felt like it had no life in it and that the air was being sucked out of it, and Yuri thought that it had that creepy felling to it, and she could swear that she hears the sound of screaming and the voices were telling her to get out well she can.

"What is this place Father" I asked.

"It is my lab, Yuri dear" he said.

"and what do I own the pleasure of see your lab" I said.

Aizen went to speak but then they heard a scream come from the other room and them a group of kids came running into the room. At least that's what Yuri thought that they were, they were disfigured and were no longer human, they had become like demons. They had horns and wings coming out of them and scales like of a lizard, and their eyes glowed yellow like a dragon. Their teeth had turned all to fangs and on some of them the fangs didn't even fit in their mouths and droll rolled down on their mouth and their ears had become pointy and just as sharp as their fangs. The only part that was still human was that fact they walked on two legs and had two arms. Then they turned and looked at Yuri and the all ran towards her in utter bedlam. Then they started to talk. But Yuri couldn't make out any of it, it seems as if they were trying to warn her of something. Then Aizen grew angry and was about to yell at the kids, but reframed. Then I all happened so fast, it looked like Aizen waved his hand and they just disappeared as if Yuri had just imaged it.

"I need your help for some tests, if you would be willing to help" said Aizen back to the nice kind man she saw earlier as if it all had just happened in Yuri's mind.

Yuri started get confused had she just imagined it, she could have sown that it happened, I don't have that good of an imagination, but her father seems to be carrying on like nothing happened, so she decided to let it go.

"Fine Father I'll help with these tests, when do we get started" she said.

Even though Yuri didn't really want to, she felt that she didn't really have a choice. Aizen went to go start the test, so she decided to look around the room trying to find a way to escape but there was no way out. There were no windows and only one door the one that we came in, she didn't feel safe and why did Aizen did not have guards everywhere. Did he honestly think that I wouldn't try to escape? Even though her memory was weird she still knew that she had power even though she wasn't sure how or why. Aizen came back in with a giant machine with a lot of wires. Yuri felt like running to the back of room to get away from Aizen, but I felt like I had no choice but to stay put. Aizen pulled out a seat and set the equipment on the table.

"have a seat my dear Yuri", he said.

I did what I was told and sat down. She looked around and saw a lot of equipment laded out on the table by the chair that he had pulled out.

"Father what are we doing" she asked scared.

"Yuri, I already told you were running some test and I need your help" said Aizen who was now starting to get annoyed, then he pressed a button on a remote and suddenly her was hand cuffed to the chair.

"Let me go Father, I'm not your Ginny pig" she yelled.

"oh, but you are Yuri my dear" said Aizen, "now let's get started".

She struggled trying to free myself from the chair and my Father's hands but no luck. He put wires everywhere on Yuri's body and his smile started to get colder and colder. She stopped struggling and looked directly at him, and he looked directly at her.

"I'm sorry to put you though this princess but you understand when I'm done" said Aizen.

Then Aizen pressed anther button, then I felt a giant bot of electric shock run though her body and her world went dark.

Yuri opened her eyes a saw that she was in cell and wasn't sure where she was. Hell, I didn't even know who I am she thought. She looked up and saw a man standing outside her cell.

"Good morning Princess, did you sleep well" he said smiling at Yuri.

She stood up and walk to where he was.

"Princess, and just who are you?" said Yuri confused and for some reason she hated being called Princess.

"I am your father, and you are my daughter, whom of which I call Princess, Yuri my dear".

"Ok, say I believe you what am I doing in this cell" Yuri asked supposedly.

"You were attacked by the Soul Society, and I managed to save you and forced them to retreat back to their base but as I appears your memory is gone" he said.

"So, I see" she said still not sure if she believed him.

"I can give you back your memories my dear, but you will have to become a hollow as well because of what the society did you" he said sadly.

"All right fine as long as I get my memories back I don't care how and by the way just how long is that going to take Father" she said.

"Just I few hours and you'll be back to your old self but with a few added benefits my dear" he said.

Then he opened the cell and she walked out and followed him.
