Chapter 2: Isshin-san Taicho
I do not, or ever will, own Bleach. By the way, the chapters will be a little short until the story starts to pick up. Just a heads up.

"...shiro...shiro...shiro-chan...Toshiro-chan..." someone kept saying as Toshiro felt someone gently shaking him from his sleep. Toshiro groaned before trying to whack the hand away and sit up. He rubbed his eyes, blinking a few times before looking up at the person. He had to do a double take.
"Isshin...san...taicho...?" He asked unsure. The man smiled down at him and ruffled his hair. The boy's eyes narrowed. 'I can feel him...so it can't be a dream. What's going on then?' He asked himself.
"I see you fell asleep trying to do my paperwork again, Toshiro-chan." the man who looked like Isshin-san taicho said.
Toshiro whacked the hand out of his hair with a flip of his wrist. "What do you mean your paperwork? And who are you calling Toshiro-chan? It's Hitsugaya-taicho." Toshiro remarked.
"As picky as ever with your name, huh? The taicho part is knew though. You pretending to be your oto-san?" The man asked again, still smiling.
"Oto-san? What are you talking about? I died, I don't have a father. It is Hitsugaya-taicho. I became captain after you disappeared." Toshiro replied, his facial features scrunched up in confusion.
'What is this imposter talking about?' He asked himself. The man let out a laugh at what he said. 'Why is he laughing at me?'
"What were you dreaming about? Of course you have a father. A mother too. That must have been some dream if I disappeared and you became captain."
"It's true though." Toshiro said as he stood up. "I even have the captain's haori to prove it, look."
"I don't see any captain's haori, Toshiro. I doubt your parents would ever let you become a captain, or even an actual shinigami for that matter." Isshin said with a straight face.
"What?" Toshiro asked, his eyes going wide. He quickly looked down at his clothing. Sure, he was wearing a haori, but not his haori. He didn't even have his uniform on. He just had a simple blue kimono with a blue obi tied in the front and a blue long-sleeved haori.
"Between you and me, your parents are a little too overprotective." The man said again and Toshiro looked up, his eyes wide with a hint of fright.
"No. This is just a dream. I just fell asleep doing paperwork and this all a dream. I don't have parents. Isshin-san taicho is dead. Any minute now, Matsumoto will wake me up." Toshiro said out loud to himself.
The man that looked like Isshin stepped closer to him, and he took a step back. "Is something wrong, kiddo? You don't seem to be doing to well." The man said with a concerned face and voice.
"Don't come any closer. I'm fine. Just leave me be until I wake up." Toshiro said. The imposter sighed as he shook his head and looked at the young boy sadly.
"Perhaps you should go back to sleep." The man suggested.
"Why? I'll wake up any minute now." Toshiro replied, his fright fleeing as his confidence returned.
"Perhaps you could wake-up faster if you go to sleep in the dream." The man suggested. Toshiro really couldn't argue with that. It seemed logical enough.
He took his time walking over to the couch in the office, not taking his eyes off the man. Toshiro slowly sat down then brought his feet up. Finally he laid on his back and closed his eyes.
Isshin went back and sat at his desk, looking at the paperwork Toshiro had filled out. What he saw surprised him. The budget report was filled out and done correctly, the new recruit information was written down, the stock and inventory report was also done. Even some of Rangiku's paperwork was done.
Isshin looked over to the back of the couch, then back to the paperwork. He set the ones Toshiro had filled out, which was a little over half of them, aside and began filling out paperwork until he heard the boy's breathing even out. He set his brush down and got up.
The captain of the tenth division went over to the couch and checked on the boy. He was sound asleep. Isshin frowned as he looked at him though.
"Something is definitely wrong with him. First he says he doesn't have parents, then he says that he's a captain and that I've disappeared, then I died, seemed surprised at what he was wearing, now over half the paperwork is done and filled out correctly. What has gotten into him? Calling his mother by her maiden name too." Isshin said to himself and brushed a lock of hair out of the child's face.
"Now, which parent should I tell first?" He asked himself just as the door slid open.
"Tell about what?" asked a curious female who entered the room.
