Kay so here is chapter two rewrite and after this I will not write anymore chapter until I make a decision on if I am doing this new version or the old one. So far the new one is winning.

EDITED Chapter Two Help Me!

Hatori pulls away from the wall and walks into the kitchen and starts working on dinner. He leaves the stew and rice cooking while he works, on some of his paperwork and patient's files. When he hears the timer and checks the time to see it is around seven o'clock, Hatori stands and decides to go wake Ichigo up.

Walking into the room after his second knock is ignored. He finds Ichigo twisted into the sheets sweating and mumbling in his sleep. Things like "no...please leave them out of this….they have nothing to do with it, and I am so sorry, I never meant to hurt you….NO! I am not a monster...I am….!"

Hatori shakes himself out his shock, and goes to shake the kid out of his nightmare, but when Hatori's hand is only an inch away from touching Ichigo. The kid jumps up so fast out of the bed and takes a defensive fighting position. Only to drop it when he sees Hatori.

Yet Hatori notices that while he is no longer in a defensive fighting stance. Ichigo is still stiff and he also noticed that when Ichigo had jumped out of his bed that he reached to his back as though to grab something. Only for his face to take on a despairing look for but a second, in which he then decided to rub his neck to cover up the gesture. Hatori was not fooled and curious as to what the kid. Could have use to carry on his back for a fight.

He was stiff when we first met also, he was caution. I just don't know what to think about you kid.

He was once again brought out of his thoughts by Ichigo's voice. "What did you want?" His breath heavy from the nightmare. Yet Ichigo still manages to hang his head up high and confident. Still through Hatori can see the pain that rests in his eyes.

Hatori knew though that Ichigo does not trust him enough to talk. With how he stands tense and caution at all times was proof enough. So he just snorts and answers the kids question. "Dinner is done."

Ichigo blinks at him and snorts himself moving to lay back down. Ichigo turns his back on Hatori which make him curious, for someone so caution and stiff to turn his back on him must mean Ichigo didn't think him as much of a threat, because he knows that trusts in not the reason.

Those two reason are the only reason, that a person who shows the sighs that Ichigo does, would turn his back on someone, allowing an opening in view, or a weakness in other words.

Curious. Hatori suspects PTSD but he only has a doctors degree, not a psychology degree.

But what the hell could Ichigo, have gotta himself into. To wind up with PTSD. "Fine, kid if you get hungry, the food will be in the fridge." Hatori leaves not wanting to fight with the kid.

As Hatori sits at the table eating, his thoughts wander to Ichigo. "I don't know what to do with you kid." he whispers to himself. Then remembering Ichigo hazelnut brown eyes he thoughts turn to his older sister Masaki.

Is Masaki happy? Why had she not call me instead of Isshin? What was her personality like now, did she still have the need to protect fiercely, and her family what of them?

I know from Isshin that she had two little twin girls. Yuzu and Karin, How old are they, and what are they like, how about their physical features did they resemble Masaki. Like Kisa does. It is hard to look at her sometime because of the fact she so resembles you Masaki. Don't you miss me anymore Masaki?

"Don't go there, Hatori you know that's not true." He whispers to himself. Their last moments together coming to his mind.

"What do you mean, you still plan on marrying Isshin. Akito has forbidden it." He took a deep breath "If you go through with this marriage, you will be disowned!" Hatori shouted to his sister, whose packing all her belongings in boxes and suitcases calmly, it irritated him so badly, that she was so calm about everything.

Masaki Sohma stopped her packing and turned to Hatori. "Yes Tori, I know what will happen should I go through with marrying Isshin."

Tears filled her eyes but did not fall. "But I love Isshin, I want a life with him and children, and even grandchildren. I will not let Akito ruin my happiness, love, and dreams." She went back to packing. With her eyes still filled with tears.

But Masaki sighed when she saw Hatori gaping in shock at her. "I could not be more proud of you Hatori. I do not regret raising you instead of going to college. But now it's time for you stand on your own. It is also time for me to follow my dream. I know you will be fine without me. But should you, Shigure,and Ayame ever need me, I will always be here."

Masaki took a deep breath walked over to stand in front of her brother who had tears sitting on his eyelashes and slowly slipping on to his cheeks. She caressed his cheek Then turned around and went back to packing with her tears slipping and splashing on her cheeks, just like her brother's.

"I hope you understand." She whispers choked with tears. "I do understand, just know this Masaki, Akito, has given everyone an order that if you go threw with the wedding. That we are not to contact you. ever again." Hatori's voice was cold and unfeeling, yet Masaki could tell this situation was causing him sorrow. Masaki hugged him and then finished packing while speaking passionately. "Just know that I will always be here for you, no matter how much time has passed. Goodbye Hatori and take care."

At dinner they did not mention Masaki wedding or her leaving again and just talked. It was as though it was just any other normal day. The day Masaki left to go live with Isshin, Hatori found a note on the table.

Dear Hatori, Shigure & Ayame,

My precious boys you will always have a home with me, should you ever need me. I want you know I don't blame you, for following Akito's orders to cut me off from your life. After all I too pity Akito for the curse he bears. I just hope, you don't hate or blame me, for following my heart in marrying Isshin. I am sorry if you feel I have abandoned you.

There is not much else I can say without sounding cheesy or as though we will never see one another again. Which I know is not the case. So instead I'll part you with some with some long term advice.

My boys do not forget to live, love, and to follow your heart. Also know you always have a place with me.

P.S If either of you shall need me, look up Kurosaki Clinic in Karakura Town. Isshin has bought a clinic he is going to open his own medical practice there.

See you guys again someday! ;) Love Masaki Sohma/Kurosaki!

Hatori takes a drag of his cigarette, as he is once again brought out of his memories."Ironically Masaki you're the one who turned to me, for help, and yet you were not the one to ask me directly. Why? Was it because you really do blame us? Or is it, that you think we blame you, for leaving?"

Maybe in the beginning we did, but then on the date of your wedding, I and my cousins Shigure, Ayame agreed that if anyone who was under Akito's rule, found happiness that we would do whatever we could, to protect that happiness. Just like you would want us too Masaki. We also decided that we would not blame, hate, or resent anyone who finds that happiness, even if they had to leave in order to keep it. We count you in that as well.

Hatori stood up walks to his room falling into dreams fill with Masaki Sohma and her love, loyalty, and then her love of being a protector, to him and Shigure as well as Ayame. How she would protect them from bullies that were street thugs.

Through if the thugs did not leave them alone Masaki would kick their asses. But soon the the happy moments in his dream turns to the sad moments of Masaki leaving them.

So what did you think. Let me know which version you like better and after I make the decision I will work on more writing.

I have an idea in how Hatori founds out about Masaki's death and it does not involve Ichigo or his family.

Let me know what version you like better.
