Chapter 1: Meeting You

Hey Guys! I FINALLY decided to write a new fan fiction. I've had this idea for a long time now and I finally got around to writing it. I hope you guys will like and again, please no flames but I will take constructive criticism. Enjoy the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach. That would be awesome though but, it belongs to the awesome Mr. Tite Kubo :) .

Inuzuri.

One of the worst places you could live in the Soul Society.

A place definitely not for children.

How did I end up here you ask?

Well, all I remember is flames, tripping and falling against something hard, and a red-haired boy picking me up. After that I blacked out.

I woke up in a small, hut-like building, on what appeared to be the only mattress in the place, with several kids surrounding me.

"Hey, hey! Give her some room to breathe!" I heard a voice shout.

The kids moved out of the way and a raven-haired girl and a red-haired boy approached me. I instantly recognize the boy as the same boy who saved me. I tried to sit up and voice my recognition, but I felt my chest burn and my throat felt dry as sandpaper.

"Whoa, take it easy!" the boy said.

"Here, drink this." The girl says, handing me a paper cup filled with water. I sip it slowly, savoring every drop.

"My name's Rukia." She said.

"And I'm Renji, Renji Abarai. What's your name?" the boy said.

"K-Kaituren…Murasaki." I say, still feeling a little weak.

"Well Kaituren, I'm glad you're ok. You really gave us, me especially, a scare."

"You… you're the one that saved me!"

Renji blushed, rubbing the back of his head. "Well I couldn't just leave you to die in that fire."

I blushed and smiled, tears of joy coming to my eyes. "Thank you Renji."

"Hehe…ah, don't mention it." He smiled at me.

"Hey, you look a lot like a cat. Do you mind if I call you Neko as a nickname?" he asked.

He wasn't kidding, I do look like a human girl version of a cat (minus the ears and the tail) with claw-like nails, piercing green eyes, two pointed teeth, (which you can se when I smile) and I'm very agile.

"Sure, I guess." I said.

"Well, alright then. Welcome to the family Neko." Renji said, holding his hand out to me. Rukia held her hand out as well and smiled at me. I took both of their hands and shook them, feeling very welcome to my new home.

A.N. : I know this chapter is short, but this story is good and the chapters will get longer as the story goes on. Please review! Arigato!
