D back!!! na, happy happy joy joy ne? fine...dont sing with me then XDDDanyways, if you cant tell, the name of each chapter will be part of the song CHANCE to which inspired me to write this. i'll post up the meaning of the titles for two chapters at a time, since it takes two chapters to make a full verse. so far, we have the first line...but thats just cause this'll be long!!! cause it spans the entirety of bleach, only taking things and mashing them in different places and situations. this'll revolve around hanatarou's reincarnation, who has been having dreams(memories actually) of the real one we knows life up in soul society. not all serious ne XDD actually, there will be parts where you'll look at the title and say "how does this go with CHANCE?" but i assure you, its about as serious as the real bleach. but anyways, lets get on with this D

translations:

Sono ki ni nattemo itsumo uragiru toki dakedo

Even if I wanted to, the times always betray me

tada!!! on to the important crap now ne.

warnings- same as in the last two chapters if not off by a bit.

i've wasted enough space, on to the next chapter.

It was dark, unbearably so before he opened his eyes to a scene he had seen before. There was the sound of the wall he had previously been next to shattering, a cry pain echoing through the open court. He turned just in time to see a long snake like blur of metal push a boy with orange hair into the wall, and he felt terror go through him. That could have been him if he hadn't moved! The fear of his own body was great, but not as great as the worry as if the boy who was smashed into the walls health. Just the thought of those wounds made him turn cold.

Blurry figures moved in his vision, so very familiar yet so very strange to him. There was the feeling of dust flying at him from his dreams and the very real feeling of aches in his shoulders, head and any place else the Hollow had hit him. It was the anchor to reality he knew well since last night. As Hanatarou blinked open his eyes further open, he hissed at the bright light. He was happy to note though that the painful chills and shivers from before were gone though. Always a nice thing to not feel pain he thought bitterly. In only a day he already felt like he was a battle worn soldier, though he felt more like a rag doll in his own opinion. When would this painful and horrible dream end?

"Oh good, your awake!" A relieved voice called from the other side of the room.

Hanatarou winced and lifted his aching head up to see a girl, maybe around Ichigo's age, standing in the doorway to the room. She had long orange/ginger hair that made a beautiful waterfall down her back. Another more noticeable feature were the large breast she had underneath a shirt that seemed to tight over her chest. Hana blushed and looked back up at her face, focusing on her relieved brown eyes.

"What happened? Where am I?" The small teen asked.

The girl blinked before smiling happily, "Kon took you here, you were having an attack."

The teen frowned, "Kon...?"

A frown decorated the ginger haired girl's face, and she briefly wondered if she had said to much. "You know, the person who looks like Kurosaki-kun?"

It took only a moment to remember the Ichigo who sounded nothing like Ichigo. So that was Kon. "Ah...wheres Ichigo?" He asked, suddenly nervous.

The girl was smiling in less than a second, and Hanatarou wondered how she did it. Reminded him of a puppy...

"He just came back. Kuchiki-san is yelling at him."

"...ah. Excuse me, but who are you? I never quite catched your name." Hana asked curiously. She seemed so...familiar.

The smile only widened, "Inoue Orihime."

Hanatarou smiled slightly in response, and opened his mouth to say his own name when the door opened. Once open an orange blur zipped through the room and was about to attach itself to Inoue's chest when the girl sidestepped it. The blur turned out to be a stuffed lion plushy, and it groaned when it smashed into the wall. In the doorway stood a short girl with short black hair that curled at the ends. She watched this in amusement before turning her cold blue eyes to Hana's figure, buried in thick blankets.

"Ah, your awake now. For a moment I was worried." She murmured emotionlessly.

Instantly he recognized her, and could almost say he knew her. He blinked and frowned thoughtfully, "Rukia-san...right?"

Rukia looked surprised for a brief moment before smiling slightly. She almost thought the boy from fourteen years ago was back. Not possible she thought, as she had personally witnessed his death. No, this wasn't the same boy, no matter how similar they were. This wasn't Yamada Hanatarou, this was a reincarnation of him, an impostor who looked like him. Just keep reminding yourself that, it'll lessen the guilt she told herself.

"Thats correct. Hanatarou I presume?" She replied politely.

The boy winced at the fake kindness and nodded. He didnt like her he thought. Inoue smiled, oblivious to the tension in the smaller girl's frame. The silence only lasted for a moment before he couldn't take it and asked a question he had wanted to know since he had woken up.

"What...what happened before?" He whispered.

Rukia glanced at Inoue who nodded before saying, "You were having an allergic reaction to a Hollow."

The teen blinked before frowning deeply, "Allergic reaction? How is that possible?"

"...I'm not sure."

She honestly wasn't sure, but she didnt want to jump to conclusions. She needed to talk to Ichigo, though so far getting a word out of him about Hanatarou was like squeezing water from a rock. Meaning there was a reason for why he brutally tore off one of Kon's ears. Ishida was to come later on and fix the stuffed toy, as he wasn't doing very good in the looks department. He had tears all over him.

"Oh, Hana-san, I forgot to ask you! Would you like something to eat? You must be hungry since it was only nine when you came here." Inoue asked, apparently not noticing the wince that the boy in question gave when she called him Hana. He hated nicknames.

He pushed the feeling of anger away and smiled back, "S-Sure Inou-san."

The girl smiled and went off to comply, when Rukia's eyes widened in horror. "Wait Inoue-san! I'll help you!!"

Hanatarou blinked before a voice answered him from the corner of the room. "Inoue's cooking isn't exactly...edible to everyone."

Turning to look, he saw Ichigo leaning against the wall. Thats odd Hana thought, he hadn't seen him there. "Ichigo?"

Ichigo waved slightly with an annoyed look on his face, "Yo."

"...you...did something bad by-"

"Forget it."

Hanatarou glared, not liking being interrupted during such an important question to him. "But-!"

"Listen, its not worth worrying about. If you dont know, its better for you." The ginger haired teen muttered.

"How so?!"

"Because then you wont do anything stupid."

"Stupid? Like what?"

"Like continuing to ask difficult questions that'll get you killed!"

Almost immediately the dark haired teen shut up. Killed? Like, DEAD killed? Of course thats what he means stupid, he told himself. What else could he mean? Ichigo looked away, his eyes focusing on the stuffed plushy on the ground by Hana. He had said to much. Now if someone came, the idiot would say something. Unless he carried on and told him about it. But, this was only a small dose of reiatsu, so he wouldn't have to wait any longer than a week at most. His deadline on earth ended in three weeks, so it'd be fine. Unless someone got smart and figured it out. Well...nothing he could do now right? Might as well enjoy the break.

"Why...would I be killed?"

Ah dammit, why wont he shut up?!

"Because...dont worry."

"Don't worry?! Listen, if this...whatever it is could result in death, I have a right to know!" Hanatarou near shouted. He was glaring, and his hands were fisting the blanket furiously.

He isn't the same Hanatarou Ichigo thought bitterly. Nothing like him except being an idiot who doesn't know when to quit! He glared right back, showing exactly how pissed off he was getting. He didnt like being bossed around by stupid twerps, and he didnt like repeating a history that never should have been. And he didnt like being proved slightly wrong. Call it ego, but he didnt like it any more than Hanatarou liked being nicknamed. But...he could remember how he felt every time Rukia had brushed him off and avoided telling him anything till it was too late. He couldn't very well let himself do that to an innocent. Could he...?

"I gave you some of my Shinigami powers, therefore...I committed a crime worthy of death. To both of us." Ichigo murmured tensely.

Ichigo heard a small gasp, but it wasn't from the small teenager. Glancing at the floor, he noticed Kon was up and watching in shock. Though how he could show shock, neither was sure. Kon pressed to the wall a pointed at the ginger haired teen with a thin cloth claw in disbelief and accusation.

"Y-You...you did WHAT?! Is that why he-!"

"SHUT UP DAMMIT!"

Hana watched from his bed as Ichigo and Kon mimicked a scene from Jurassic Park with the teen being the Trex. He was pressed against the wall with the covers pulled to his chin(think chibi D) and watched as the death god committed plushy homicide. It...was actually quite eery to watch a person attempt to disembowel a stuffed toy and shove an arm in its mouth while it screamed. If Hanatarou was watching an anime, he thought that instead of seeing this, he'd be watching an omunious shadow on the wall.

"U-U-Umu...I-Ichigo?" When the ginger haired teen glanced at him, Hana squeaked in fear and hid under the covers.

Rolling his eyes, Ichigo removed Kon's arm from the plushy's mouth and lay the doll on the nightstand. He hadn't meant to scare the boy... Walking over, he pulled the blanket from the small teen's head, resisting the urge to laugh when he heard him squeak again.

"I'm not gonna bitecha. Stop squeaking, your a human notta mouse." He muttered.

Normally he might have snapped at the comment, but he wanted to know what Kon meant before he was attacked by Ichigo.

"Ichigo? What was he going to say before you...erm, attacked him?"

The ginger haired teen raised an eyebrow, "Probably something about how you had an attack. Since you just had your own reiatsu get pumped up, your ability to sense Hollows is probably very sensitive now."

"A-Ah..."

At that moment, Inoue and Rukia reentered the room, with a tray of food in the taller girl's hands. All conversation stopped then, as everyone was rather hungry.

He had gotten lost. Well, not lost entirely, but lost indeed. Off a few meters away was a large group of Shinigami, all crowding the path. Something told him he shouldn't try it, after all, he never had much luck. This stupid little hope that they'd help him might get him killed. But...if he didnt find his squad soon, he just knew it'd be way worse than getting beat up. It might result in a pay cut for a few weeks!! This all happened in the course of about four seconds before he decided to go over and ask. Who would've thought he could think so much in such little time.

"Ah, e-excuse me-!"

And just his luck. He tripped. On an upraised tile! He barely had time to comprehend how much trouble he'd be in if he fell into those Shinigami before he smacked into and through them. He kept trying to get to his feet, but every time he tried he fell into someone else who would push him and restart the act again. By the time he found that he wasn't hitting anyone, he fell face first into the hard ground. And it didnt feel to good, trust me.

"Hey, Kurosaki...I think I found an easy way to get out of here."

"We must think alike then."

Looking up he felt dread spread over him like freezing water on a beach. Uh oh...

"Do you like falling asleep in your food brat?" An irritated voice asked irritably.

With a painful jolt, he woke back up and looked around. Blinking, Hanatarou was relieved to see that he wasn't on a cold tiled cement floor or in the vicinity of angry Shinigami. Glancing down, he noticed he was laying face first in a bowl of fruit salad(courtesy of Rukia, as she didnt want to even bring out soy beans godforbide Inoue got any ideas). Lifting his head, Hana noted with more than a little dismay that his hair and part of his face was soaked in fruit juice. Dammit...

"Here." A napkin was forced in his face, and the dark haired teen blinked at it a few times before taking it.

Ichigo sat back, watching him wipe the thick and slimy liquid from his pale cheek. He didnt bother with his hair, there was nothing he could do about it right now. An irritated sigh echoed through the room.

"Geez kid, do you make a point of falling asleep randomly? Maybe you have a concussion..." The older teen murmured.

"Eh, I dont think thats the problem Ichigo..." Hana replied, laughing a little.

He didnt like the kid falling asleep randomly, it was bothersome. Just now the only reason he woke him up, was because he was drowning in his food. The kid had problems, Ichigo thought irritably. Did this even happen regularly?

The orange haired teen(who had been rocking in his chair) set his feet on the ground and glared slightly. "Do you ALWAYS fall asleep in your food?"

The smaller teen looked as if to be in deep thought. "No, I fall asleep in the shower, or at school, or sometimes even at the grocery store! Not just in my food."

Had Hanatarou not be a wounded innocent, Ichigo would have punched him for that sarcastic tone. But, he wasn't feeling up to beating the poor nerd up. After all, he got beat up at school enough. But he really should get help for the boy. He had only healed the visible wounds on him, he wasn't even sure if he had gotten any serious wounds. Maybe he should get his dad or Urahara to look at him...

"Ugh...my hairs sticky now." The boy mourned sadly.

Ichigo raised an eyebrow, "Can you take a shower without passing out and drowning then?"

Hana scowled, "Of course! I've been living most of my life randomly falling asleep, nothing to worry about."

The older teen made a shooing gesture with his hand, "Then, the bathroom is just around the corner. First door to your left."

"Ah, sankyuu!"

In the other room, Rukia listened to the first part of the conversation and prepared to scream her lungs out at Ichigo the moment she was able to.

so short .. ne ne, it was a bit pointless, but the next update will be more eventful. this chapter was the quality of a...dare i say it...filler. but it'll get better ne. now that i've seen Hanatarou in the anime(just got to the Renji/Ichigo fight) the flash backs will be of better quality(hopefully) and it'll be better! sa, unknowingly, i kinda reenacted their first meet ne XDDD didnt do it on purpose or plan on it though ne. hana's sleeping problems will be mentioned a lot in this. ever met a person who would just fall asleep when you were talkin to em for no reason? i haven't XDDDD but yeah. they were eating, and when Ichigo went to go to the bathroom, hana fell asleep in his food :O
