Author's note; Sorry for not updating for so long. I wanted to update my other stories. This chapter is short and a bit wierd, but I wanted to show why there's hate between them.

Review reply to Rose; It's true that witces usually have uncomon characteristics but we can't really make such changes. We alter the features of the character. Thangs for reviewing.

3. How it all begun.

Hinamori was sitting in her desk doing her homework when the door opened and Yachiru stepped inside.

"Bun-girl why do we fight shinigamis?" she asked merely. Hinamori looked at her surprised and blinking.

"Don't you know Yachiru-san?"

"Well someone must have told me but I don't remember." she apologized. The older girl looked at her with sympathy. After all she was known to have a weak memory.

"You have probably heard that witches came to Japan almost five hundred years before. They were being chased in Europe. At the beginning they lived peacefully, but soon shinigamis noticed that they were attracting hollows. Shinigamis were humans who could see the spirit of dead ones and they had given themselves the task to protect those spirits from hollows. So the presence of witches was a problem because it means more work for them. They couldn't find a solution back then so that disagreement over the centuries became hatred… Are you listening?"

"Yes yes."

Hitsugaya was in his room thinking about the late events. Indeed most of them had a strange experience on October's 31. Somehow they should have expected it. This year the witches had done some very strange things. They didn't hurt them they just lured in things like snow wars or mad wars or contest with water guns. They had discussed it but they weren't able to understand what kind of policy they were following.

The elders have admitted that the new generation of witches was moderate and they didn't cause too much trouble. They could almost say that they were in peace. However he knew that this wasn't true.

All of the youngest witches in the area were known to him. They had attended the same schools so far. In the first grades they befriended each other. Personally he was close friend of Hinamori. Very close friends. They were playing together, they were walking home together they were visiting each other houses. They were the best friends. All that until the day Hinamori developed her first magic abilities. The spirit energy she emitted attracted hollows in her own home. Her parents were killed were killed but she was saved because Ukitake rushed there quickly.

After that she was given in the care of Unohana Retsu. She was a witch too. But she never cause problem to anyone. She was a woman who loved quiet life. When more girls lost their families in the same way she turned her house into an orphanage and dormitories. Soon he and other boys in the area were trucked down and started training. They weren't allowed to see their witches friends anymore. As children they didn't disobey but he noticed that secretly most of them continue to consider them friends. Renji and Rukia were old buddies, they used to argue and fight when they were younger. Now they did the same excusing their actions behind their supposed hatred.

Recently they found out another shinigami named Kurosaki Ichigo. He was able to see ghost since he could remember. An accident with Rukia had leaded him being a shinigami. Since then they had developed a strange relationship. No one could say that they had been interested in each other but they were quarreling, a lot. That was a hint that probably there were more behind but even them weren't aware of that. Of course this kind of relationship had brought fights between Renji and Ichigo too.

He had noticed that he was also in a similar situation. In the back of his mind he knew that he was in love with her. He wasn't sure how that happened but it had happened. It really hurt him the fact that he couldn't tell her how he felt. Even though he didn't know what he would do if they weren't under the certain situation. That's why he had tried to warn Ichigo he didn't want other people to suffer in the same why.

However, there were shinigamis who did nothing in order to hide the fact that they were in love with a witch. Just like Shunsui. It was obvious that he was in love with Nanao and that was fact known not only to the shinigamis and witches but in the school too.

He had thought several times to try and show his feelings in an attempt to bridge the gap between them. If one made the start then more would follow. He wasn't sure though if he could do it yet.

"Do you know what I'm afraid Bun-girl?" asked Yachiru innocently.

"What?" said the girl not taking her eyes from her home works.

"I'm afraid that one day someone will come and still shinigamis for him. Just like Ichi took Bunny-lover girl from tattoo-guy. We won't have anyone to play anymore." Hinamori didn't move from her seat. It was true that inside the certain house she did hear a bunch of crazy things. But Yachiru always made the weirdest questions and comments.

"If something like that happen then we would try to save them, and then we could play together forever. That's what I think."

"Really? Then we should try this plan."
