A/N: Hey guys.( Full Summary) This is a time travel fic. The war with Aizen had ended, but it didn't do so without some serious losses. Knowing that nothing could ever be anywhere remotely close to how they had been before, Kisuke sent the only person who could set things right back in time. Now, Ichigo Kurosaki has to find a way to make things right without completely screwing up the timeline while simultaneously hiding the fact that he is from the future!

Disclaimer: I'm just a girl with her cat and a laptop. Do you honestly thing I would even become anywhere close to owning Bleach? Yeah... didn't think so.

- Hello = Zangetsu

-Hello= Ichigo's Hollow- in this story Shirosaki ( shiro for short)

-'Thoughts'

" He's changed, Kisuke." Kisuke Urahara locked eyes with the normally eccentric Isshin Kurosaki. It was odd to see him so serious. Something was gravely wrong.

"Oh. How so?" He asked sipping his tea, eyes never leaving the other's.

"He's started to distance himself from us. I haven't seen him hanging around any of his friends either. Even Yuzu and Karin have noticed something is going on." Isshin's eyes became softer when he mentioned the girl's names. He felt for them. They were worried about their brother. That much he could tell. Still he had no clue what was going on with his son.

"And you came to me because you thought I would know what was happening with him." Urahara leaned back, surveying the familiar comfort of the shop, " You know, Isshin, I haven't seen the boy since he was an infant. What's got you so concerned? You think he had a run-in with a hollow or a shinigami?"

Isshin set down his tea cup on to the low, round table and sighed.

"Yeah, I started to think that could be it, but I haven't noticed him hanging around anyone lately. He just hides himself locked up in his room. "

"I see. Well that is peculiar." Urahara tilted his head slightly so his ever-present bucket hat shaded his eyes.

"Another thing, Kisuke, He's been having nightmares again." Urahara's eyes peaked interest with this new information.

"Like the ones he had after Misaki's death?" The look in Isshin's eyes hardened, and he visibly stiffened at the mention of his deceased wife. He and Ichigo never spoke about her death. That was something he always regretted, but he knew Ichigo would have just brushed him off if he tried to confront him about it, so he let it go.

"No. These are worse. Much worse."

"hmmm" Urahara flicked open a white fan to shield his deductive gaze. He needed to find out what was happening to this boy. he swore that he would to all that he could to help out his old friend. Besides, this could be a very interesting case.

"That's all I had to say about this matter. Keep a watch of him when I'm unable too, will ya?" Isshin stood to go, brushing off non-existent dirt off the remains of his captains robe that he wore over his shoulder.

"Sure thing." Urahara's stele eyes never left his old friend's gaze, "You know, you should come visit me some more. I'm happy to be of assistance any way I can." He smirked beneath his fan

"Just keep me updated, Kisuke." Isshin said before he turned and shunpoed out of the shop.

Kisuke smirked. 'Some things were finally starting to get interesting around here.' He thought to himself. 'Now, where did Yoruichi run off to again?'

So, Kingy, How long are you going to sit around sulking like that?

I Agree with him, Ichigo. You need to stop sulking. Your family has already started to notice your change in behavior since you came back.

Ichigo stared up at the familiar, yet unfamiliar ceiling of his bedroom. He had no clue how long it had been since he had last slept through the night. He was sure he had bags under his eyes, but he was too exhausted to get up and look in the mirror. He hadn't eaten in a few days either, even though tasting Yuzu's cooking again was amazing. He didn't want to worry his family, but Zangetsu was right. His family was noticing something different in him. He would be lying to himself if he said that he didn't see the pain in his sister's eyes every time he couldn't finish a meal, or notice how his father stopped attacking him every time they were in the same room together. Karin had even stopped asking him to play soccer with him. And as much as it hurt him to see his family this way, when couldn't bring himself to get up. He was defeating the entire purpose of coming back.

' How could I have been so stupid?' Ichigo thought to himself as he turned on his side to face the wall.

Aww come on, Kingy, You're not THAT stupid! I mean you're dumber than a sack of rocks, but still! How 'bout you and me go take down some weakling hollows? That'll cheer ya up! He could practically see Shiro grinning in his mind.

Ichigo. I have told you time and time again that if you look back you'll age. If you hesitate, you will die. So why are you hesitating now?

Ichigo huffed. He didn't feel like talking to his inner spirits right now. Sure Zangetsu had a point, and even Shiro was trying to cheer him up. He felt so pathetic. He decided he just need a long nap to calm his mind- if he could avoid having another nightmare that is.

Instead of finding himself drift off to sleep he found himself inside his inner world , standing on the sideways skyscrapers. He almost didn't recognize it. It was pouring down rain. He hadn't see this much water in his inner world since he had learned the final Getsuga Tensho.

"What am I doing here? I just want to be left alone!"

" You can't get rid of us, Ichigo. We are part of you. To kill us would be to kill a part of yourself."

"Why am I here?" He asked again. His voice sounded so broken. If the two spirits which resided in him hadn't known him any better, they would've thought that a tone like that could never have come out of Ichigo.

"because you won't get off your ass and do what you came here to do!"

" What's the point? It's not like I could actually help. The future will still be the same! My friends that I have now ill never be the same!"

Shiro laughed, " The point?! The point was to save all those pathetic shinigami and humans who couldn't protect them selves. I thought you were supposed to be King here. Well, I won't have my King be less than his own horse! One who Protects!? You've got to kidding me! You're no better than the dirt on my shoe.!

Zangetsu simply stood off the side and watched silently as the inverted figure taunted his counterpart.

' I can't believe you! You think you can just sit around and do nothing while that bastard Aizen is out there planning to destroy the world?! Do you want that future to come true again? Do you want him to kill all your friends again? Do you want him to Kill You're fi-

"Shut Up!" Ichigo's sudden scream broke through Shiro's taunts. " Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! SHUT UP! None of that is going to happen again! I won't let it happen again! No one has to die. I won't let them die!" Ichigo's eyes started to glow blue with his new found resolve. His jaw set and his eyes were focused. " I'm going to kill that bastard Aizen if it's the lat thing I do." He spat out his name with a strong disgust as if they were poison on his tongue.

" Sorry it took me so long to snap put of it guys." He looked up and the rain had stopped.

" I'm going to go apologize to my family for being so distant lately." Ichigo started to disappear from his Inner world

"Ichigo" He heard the strong voice break though to him, " It's nice to have you back."

Ichigo smiled in agreement . ' yeah' He thought, ' It's good to be back'
