FINALLY! An idea has finally came to my extremely slow mind! Im super-mega-sorry for the wait, but it took a LONG while for me to think of something. Are there people still waiting though? Am I talking (or typing) to anyone out there? Well if Im not oh well, here's the FORTH CHAPTER!

And just in case youre wondering, I for one count the prologue as a chapter, so thats why this is the forth and not the third. But you can SAY its the third if it makes you more comfortable.

Review responds!

ONTO THE STORY!

But first this dumb disclaimer.

The day I own Bleach will be when homemade vanilla ice cream (my favorite kind of ice cream) falls from the sky

Chapter 4: Dreams

It has been about three months and a half since the incident with the three unfortunate kids, but Momo still remembers it like it was yesterday. The honorific scene keeps playing over and over in her mind like a broken record, never leaving her alone. She couldn't help but fear her best friend, practically her little brother Shiro-chan ever since then.

'But that was my problem then, too. I've been too scared to do anything, and now three boys are dead,"' she thought. She knew she had to get this fear out of her, if she is to prevent the past from happening again in the future.

But the nightmares were making that hard for her.

Yes, ever since that day, she has re-lived it over and over. But no matter how hard she tries to wake up, she just can't. Her only escape from these horrible dreams is from Toshiro shaking her awake from worry, since seeing her toss and turn, hearing her moans and mumbled words filled with fear, he just couldn't let her suffer, no matter how cold he usually is.

So Momo had thought about how to get stronger. She wanted more strength so that Toshiro wouldn't have to protect her, so that he didn't haveto put himself in danger just to help her, the one who was supposed to protect and save him. She was the older one. Sheshould have to help him, not the other way around.

So when she figured out she had reiatsu, she was ecstatic. She couldn't be happier if she tried.

When she figured this out, she was out buying some necessary food for her Obaa-san's soup. She was almost to the market place when she heard some people talking. She normally didn't like to eavesdrop on people, but she couldn't help it. They were just too loud. 'If people don't like others to hear there conversations, they should try to talk softer. It's not my fault they don't know how to whisper' she thought.

"Hey. You hear about that family?" one man said

"Which one?" another asked.

"The one with the demon boy!" the first said. After this Momo tried her best to listen to the conversation.

"Oh yeah, that one! Of course I have! Who hasn't? They say they let the demon go around at night to freeze the people that they don't like."

"Yeah, do you think we should try and-"

"Do what, get ourselves frozen. You can go on by yourself, but I for one like my body un-frozen. And I think I like my soul where it is, too"

"Oh yeah I forgot that part! That little monster steals and eats your soul once your frozen, right?"

"Yeah... but maybe if we get alotta people with us we can-"

"Shut the hell up!" Momo yelled, causing people to look at her with a strange look, but they just walked away while she continued, "How dare you talk about someone like that! I happen to be part of the family the 'little demon boy' is in and I can assure you we don't let him do any of that stuff, not that he can anyway! Keep your ugly mouths shut and don't you dare say another word about him!" once she was done her face was red from her shouting. But the two men just laughed at her.

"Oh look at her! She's adorable when she acts grown up!" the first one said, "What are you gonna do about it, kid? What could you possibly do to us? Maybe you should run home and go play pretty princess with your mommy."

And that's when it happened. Momo literally exploded, blowing the two men andalmost half of the market place back a good ten feet. And she wasn't even at the market place yet.

"W-what the hell was that?" a bystander asked.

"Yeah, that was-that w-was..." another said.

"That is what you would call reiatsu, or spiritual pressure." one man said, and when everyone, including Momo, turned there heads to see who it was who said that, they all gasped.

For the person who said that was a shinigami. But not a normal one. No, this one was different. This one had a white coat over the black robes he had on. This was...

"A-a-a captain! A captain is here right in front of us!"

"But what's a captain doing here?"

"I don't know and I don't care. I just can't believe I'm seeing this right now!"

Everyone at the place were talking to each other, never taking their eyes off the shinigami in front of them. But Momo was motionless. She couldn't move a muscle in her body. She was just too shocked, too busy looking at the captain coming towards her, out of all the people here a captain chose her to possibly talk to.

'I can't believe this is happening right now!"

The captain was a handsome one, with his wavy brown hair, his square glasses on his face, the sword on his hip, even the way he walked seemed handsome, beautiful, whatever word Momo could think of just couldn't match captain's looks in her eyes.

When the man finally made his way to Momo (it was only really a few minutes, but to Momo it was the longest hours she's ever had in her life) he crouched down to her level and said, "That's quite the reiatsu you have. I think you could actually be a great shinigami one day, if you tried hard enough. The Entrance Exams to the academy are really just a few days away if you're interested in becoming one." He said to her, with Momo absorbing the information given to her like a sponge with water, "Well with that said I guess I'd better be on my way back." And with that, he had gotten up, turned around and started to walk away when Momo spoke up.

"W-wait please!"

The captain stopped and turned his head over his shoulder.

"Yes?"

Momo blushed, but continued, "I-if I may a-ask, what is your name?"

The captain smiled at her and said in a happy tone, "Well of course you may know my name. My name is Aizen. Aizen Sosuke Captain of the Fifth Division."

And after that, he was gone in a flash.

There are no words that could describe what Momo was feeling right now. It was like a mixture of happiness, shock, and a hint of luckiness. She ran straight home, forgetting all about the food she was supposed to get. Once she got there she was panting with her hands on her knees, out of breath from running all the way from where the market place almost was to where she lived.

"Oi, Bet-wetter! What's got you so out of breath?" Toshiro said as he looked at her from where he was at the porch of the hut, "You look like you just ran two races"

"I've... got... to tell you... something." she said, getting a deep breath to say the words.

"Not until you've caught your breath," said the two kids' granny who was at the door, watching the poor girl try again and again to tell them what happen, "First you should calm down a little and catch your breath. Once you've done that then you can tell us what happened," all Momo did was nod as she went up the few stairs that led to the door with a little help from Toshiro.

After a few minutes Momo finally caught her breath. Immediately after that she told them what happened.

"You won't believe it! A captain came to the market place I was at! He was like a god! He had on black robes with a white cloak over it! He came up to me and said that I had this reiatsu stuff! He even told me I could be a great shinigami and that the Entrance Exams to become one is gonna be open in a few days! I gonna try out!"

Both Granny and Toshiro were looking at Momo with wide eyes, trying to take in all of which she said to them. It was extremely quiet in the room they were in. You could hear a feathern drop in the floor it was so lacking in noise.

"That's great Momo!" Granny said to her, making Momo happier. When she turned to Toshiro all she got was a "Hmph, whatever. Not like I care." to which she replied "Hey don't be so mean!" and then they went back and forth in a little argument they usually get in when things like this happen. Granny was just smiling. But when she turned her head she notice that it was getting pretty late. 'Almost night time'

"Alright you two, it's getting pretty late. You should probably go to bed now," she said to the two kids that were like grandchildren to her.

"Yes, Obaa-san!" they both yelled, and then raced each other to there beds.

"Kids," was all Granny said before she put herself to rest for the next day.

For the first time since the incident, Momo had a nice dream.

She dreamt that she was already at the academy, already made friends and were waving to them. She saw that she was with Aizen too, but not too much since he had work to do and usually left and came back. She saw that she would have a sword just as fantastic as the one Aizen had.

It was the best dream she's ever had.

While on the other hand, Toshiro couldn't sleep. His head was filled with too many questions for him to even blick.

'Momo?' ,Toshiro thought, 'Bed-wetter Momo as a shinigami! Why the hell would she do that! Doesn't she like it here? What's wrong with staying? Why would she want to be a shinigami? Does she think that I'm not a good enough friend? Does she need new ones?'

But in the middle of his mental ranting, a headache suddenly got him clutching his head. He bit down on his bottom lip so no sound could come out. He pushed himself up against one of the walls and curled up in a tight ball with his head between his knees, trying to fight off the pain in his head. 'Damn, not again' he thought as he clutched his head tighter. This has been going on ever since he and Momo went to the forest. He still couldn't remember anything that happened, but when he came back that night was when the first of many headaches came. Whenever he had them, he would hear screams and words like 'You MONSTER!' or 'You KILLED him!'. He never knew who the voices were, but they sounded familiar, like he's heard them before but can't for the life of him remember who said it. But tonight something else happened. Tonight two new voices came.

One had said 'Please stop, Shiro-chan!' and he knew right away it was Momo. 'But why does she sound so... scared?'. But then another voice came. It was deep. It sounded dark. It just sounded...evil. It said, 'Keep going Toshiro. You like this don't you? You love the feeling of someone's blood dripping from your fingers, the sensation you have when you hear someone's blood-filled screams! You want to keep going, going, going! You don't want to stop. You-'

And then it stopped. Just like that the voice was gone. Along with the headache.

'What?' Toshiro started to look up to see Momo, who has apparently awoken from her slumber, shaking him and calling his name.

"Shiro-chan! What's wrong? Come on, answer please! Don't let go back there!," she was looking down after this, so she couldn't see that Toshiro has risen his head up, hearing every word come out her mouth, "Please, please don't let that happen again. Please." she sounded close to sobbing.

"Let what happen again?" he asked the sobbing girl.

Once she heard him, she quickly shot up from her position and said, "W-what are you talking about?"

He glared at her, seeing that she was trying to avoid the subject and, as threateningly as he could possibly make himself sound, asked "Let. What. Happen. Again. You know what I'm talking about, but I myself don't. What is it that happened that you don't want happen again?"

'I can't tell him,' Momo thought to herself, 'He just can't know what happened. He'll think he really is a monster, or a demon.'

She took a deep breath and said, "Well, this one time Tecchin had a really bad headache and he started to move around a lot and he actually hit A-chan in the face! I was scared since I didn't know what to do so that's why I didn't want it to happen again." she lied to him. But he seemed to buy it, since he just shrugged his shoulders and started going to his bed.

"Oh...that's what it was that was bugging you. You should probably go back to sleep. I...guess I apologize for waking you up," Toshiro said, getting up and lied down in his own bed.

Momo felt awful about lying to him, but she felt that he just couldn't handle the truth. Even if she did tell him the truth, he might not believe her altogether and just call her a liar and not trust her with stuff and feelings and the like. She knew that was a little extreme and Toshiro probably won't do that, but she just couldn't take that chance.

'Besides,' she thought, 'it's not like he's gonna find out the truth anytime soon. I should just put this behind me.'

After thinking that what she did was the best for both of them, Momo went back to her bed and went back to sleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow. Luckily for her her dreams were nice ones.

Unlike Toshiro's.

Toshiro's dreams were filled with blood. There were bodies everywhere, each one with hundreds of cuts, slashes, and claw marks on them. None of them were people that Toshiro could remember or recognize, but it still horrified him. And there were people with blades, some on top of the bodies, some next to them. And they were all looking right at Toshiro, and he saw that each person had no whites in there eyes. They were only black and another color. Except one. One them, the strongest looking one of them all, had absolutely no other color other than black. His pitch black eyes seemed like they could steal your soul right from your body if he just glanced toward your direction. The man was coming towards Toshiro. He came closer and closer until he was right in front of the young boy. He reached out his hand and said only two words to him.

"Join us."

Toshiro was hesitant, not wanting to trust the man at all. He wanted to be as far away as he could get from this man. This man, with pitch black eyes and hair, that seemed to waved in the air with no wind blowing. That was when Toshiro realized something.

'He's the same man from that memory!'

He was about to turned around and run away from this man, for he knew he was not good news, when he was snatched up in the air by someone behind him. He managed to turn his head to see who did it and saw a woman with dark blue hair and eyes with a smirk on her face and she said to him, "Aw, you think you can run away from us? How...cute, that you think you can. But you're just a child. I shouldn't expect too much from you."

"Don't you touch him!," a loud, thunderous roar came from the sky and the man and woman jumped away in time to get away.

Toshiro's eyes were heavy, but before the "dream" ended, he heard a few more things.

"Don' think we won' stop! We'll keep goin' 'till we have tha' boy!," a woman's voice.

"I'll never let you have him!", that loud...something.

"Until next time, Toshiro," the man with black, soul-stealing eyes.

And then nothing.

Toshiro woke with a jolt. 'Just a dream. It was just a bad dream,' he keep telling himself that until he believed it himself and started to think about the ways he was going to spend the last few days he has left before Hinamori leaves for the Academy.

"Damn it! We were this close, this fuckin' close, to gettin' that boy and that annoyin' frozen lizard had to come and ruin everythin', again!", this was being said by a woman with bright red hair that reached her mid-back and red eyes. She would look like any other human except for one thing:

The whites of her eyes were black.

But were she was right now, that didn't matter, seeing how everyone else as the same in that concept.

"Be patient, Kagiaka. We will get him. Don't worry about that." A man said to her.

"Yes, master. Of course we will. There is no doubt that we will," she said, kneeling to her "master" while doing so. She looked as if she wanted to say more, but held her tongue. 'Why make master angry? That would not be a wise move on my part' she thought, but thought quietly. Who knows who's listening to her right now...

After venting her anger, she left her master's presence and went to her quarters, where she can think and vent some more in peace.

When Kagiaka left, the Master thought aloud to himself, "That dragon is most likely his Zanpactou, so if I kill it, the boy would lose a tremendous amount of his power. No, I should just wait until the right moment, and then I'll have him. But I have to watch him so he doesn't get himself killed along the way. I want to see how much stronger he can get. After he gets strong enough...well, we'll just have to wait and see how this all plans out now don't we?," he chuckled to himself. He'll let the boy get his annoying little dragon and see how it plays forth from there.

"This'll be fun to watch"
