Squad 4 HQ

Hanataro was in the storage room of Squad 4 HQ, he had a clipboard and pen in his hands. Before him was a large quantity medical supplies used to keep the metaphorical and literal heart of the Gotie 13 and its Shinigami flowing. It had been a day since Hanataro, Rikichi and Rin were accused of murder and mutilation of a group of Shinigami, he had not yet been proven completely innocent in the matter though he did have an alibi Soifon did not yet believe that. Hanataro seemed to be more nervous and skittish than usual and Captain Unohana took notice to this and decided to have him take inventory of the medical supplies in Squad 4 rather than healing to keep any pressure off of him with everything that's been happening so to ease his mind. However Hanataro disliked that he was being taken away from the medical rooms for the time and being unable to heal anyone, at the moment his main concern would be if any of the supplies would fall on him breaking his small body.

Hanataro sighed to himself as he began to count the amount of medical herb cases. He opened one of the boxes and began to count each one carefully.

"I-I hope I don't loose count again." said Hanataro worried.

As he began to count the contained herbs no sound was made except for the clatter that Hanataro was making from picking up the herb cases. He was all alone down in the storage room so he was nervous and he was a little scared. As he counted a set of eyes were watching him and someone began to approach him from behind, Hanataro was too preoccupied with counting the herbs that he didn't notice. Closer and closer the figure approached Hanataro from behind without the young medic being aware of the possible assasin that could snap is neck like and wooden branch that was as thin as a baby's hair. All this while Hanataro counted away.

"30, 31 ,32,-"

"Hanataro?"

"AHH!" yelled Hanataro as jumped in shock.

"Oh!" said Isane.

Hanataro calmed down and saw Isane standing behind him with half as much shock as his face as he did, Hanataro then toook a deep breath and sighed, he stands up and puts back all the herb cases that he may have dropped back in the container.

"O-Oh Lieutenant Isane," Hanataro was relieved, "I'm sorry, you scared me." said Hanataro. Isane sighed in relifed.

"Its okay, I came down to check on you and see if you were doing okay." said Isane in a concerned tone. Hanataro caught this and nodded.

"T-Thank you, I'm okay, but it was scary being accused of murder like that." said Hanataro.

"Hopefully it will be all behind you soon, I know you wouldn't do something like that and Captain Unohana knows with utmost certainty." said Isane.

Hanataro was very relieved to hear that, but he was still very worried about the situation, being accused of murder is not a light subject, especially among the Gotie 13. If convicted and proven guilty Hanataro, Rin and Rikichi would be taken to the maggot's nest for the rest of their lives.

"I really don't want to go to jail." said Hanataro.

"It will be fine, I hope." said Isane nervously

Hanataro nodded with a smile and tried counting the herbs again but he had lost count.

"32, no 38, oh man I-I lost count." said Hanataro.

"32." said Isane. Hanataro then widened his eyes in surprise.

"T-Thank you/" said Hanataro as he continued to count on. Isane smiled and left the storage area, leaving Hanataro by himself.

As Hanataro counted he could hear a skittering sound behind hem he turns his head but sees nothing behind him, however he sees no one there.

"I-I must be hearing things." he thought to himself, he then went back to working.

Unbeknownst to Hanataro a small spider had entered the room when Isane had opened to door and it was watching from the shadows as Hanataro worked. It stayed in the shadows and began to approach Hanataro slowly, it crept behind him like a wolf in the night as it stalks its prey. All this while Hanataro counted away, like a character about to be killed off in a bad horror movie.

"60, 61, 62, 63-"

"Hey kid!" yelled a voice from behind.

Hanataro turned around but saw no one behind him. He looked around and saw no one.

"H-Hello, Isane?" uttered Hanataro.

"Down here stupid!" said the voice,

Hanataro looked down and saw a lone mouse, it had white fur with a blue strip on its back.

"A-Aww, hey little guy." said Haanataro.

The mouse then leered st Hanataro.

"You bastard you know its me." said Legion annoyed,

Hanataro's eyes widened upon hearing the mouse speak, he then remembers his weird dream in which a spider speaks to him and where a large man named Cerulean had wanted to train him.

"I-It was real, w-what happened t-the o-other night was r-r-eal!" Hanataro shocked and trembling in fear. Legion nodded.

"Yeah, what did you think it was some weird dream or something?" asked Legion.

Hanataro didn't get the chance to answer, he passed out and fell on the floor dropping the herb case that he had in his hand. Legion quickly goes over to his face and taps on his cheek only to get a small response.

*Groan*

A groan, one sound that is made from someone who doesn't want to wake up. Legion kept going but Hanataro didn't give any other response beyond that.

"Huh, guess he did think it was a dream, well I got to get him out of here before something dumb happens." said Legion.

He then looks over at the security camera which he disabled by chewing the wires.

"No watchers." said Legion.

He then crawls on Hanataro's side, he then begins to glow instantly teleport himself and Hanataro out of the room, but then Hanataro reappears with a smile and begins doing inventory.

"Better not screw this up Cerulean." said Legion.


2nd Squad HQ

Soifon was sitting at her desk with a stern and impatient look on her face, one of her subordanites was before her with a failed look on his face at the results of his mission. The assignment was easy, got to Squad 12 and get the footage from the security system of the areas Squad 12, Squad 6 and the Rukon district where Hanataro Rikichi and Rin had there alibis. In the end Rin was seen by a few of his squadmates taking the food back to his room so he was in the clear. Rikichi was also proven innocent by Renji vouching for him, claiming he was caught sneaking back to his room. All that was needed to be done was get the footage of Hanataro in innocence or caught in the act from Captain Mayuri, she had already called in advance to request the footage. There was no reason for this not to be a success, in the end however, it ended in tragedy.

"So the footage of everything that happened that day was destroyed?" asked Soifon

"Yes ma'am, they are currently trying to find the problem but all of the footage of the other day and night was destroyed." said the agent.

"Could it have been their squad member, Rin Tsukobura, that could have tampered with it, in an attempt to acquit Hanataro Yamada?"asked Soifon.

"NO ma'am, if it was true then there is no proof of it." said the squad member.

"Why do you say that, we could search the area ourselves and find proof that he was involved." said Soifon.

"They had already checked the area for finger prints and found nothing and no footprints or leftover reishi to implicate him, its as if whoever did it didn't exist." he said.

Soifon then clenched her fists and narrowed her eyes more, this truly showed her anger. She thought for sure that if any evidence to implicate Hanataro and prove whether or not he had any involvement would be found in the security footage, his finger prints were on the +

+ but that was only because of the fight. As of the moment Hanataro's alibi was the most suspicious and Soifon's plans to investigate the manner herself would go into action.

"Your dismissed." said Soifon.

The subordinate then left Soifon's office, leaving her with her thoughts. Soifon thought about the situation before her and saw the only suspect in the center of it all, Hanataro, why would someone try so hard to cover all this up was disturbing as much as what was done to the bodies. The situation made her think of Aizen's betrayal, she needed to be careful of this situation but she still suspected him most of anyone at the moment, not because he was the only suspect but because his presence was the most suspicious of them.

"I need to keep my eyes on Yamada, all this happening so close together is too much of a coincidence." she said.

Soifon then got out of her chair and began to exit her room, she would not be back for a while. She was heading toward Squad 4 and would make sure that no one would notice her presence.


Cerulean's home

Hanataro began to wake up from passing out the way that he did, the air filled with the sounds of him groaning as if he had a large headache before passing out. He tried to open his eyes more but the light of a sun was making it difficult and he shielded his eyes.

"O-Ow, what happened to me." uttered Hanataro.

He then felt that he was sitting on something soft, he touched the floor before him and saw that it was grass. He looked around and saw that he was now outside in a familiar area.

"Ho-How did I get out here?" he asked himself.

He then stood up and wiped his body of any leftover dirt or grass that may have stuck to him. He looked around and at the grass field and saw a tree that was blooming cherry blossoms. He walked over to, entranced and stupefied by the sight before him he began to remember where he was.

"I'm in Cerulean-sama's home, his basement-" a rock hits Hanataro in the head,'- O-OW!" he said in pain.

Hanataro looked around and saw no one who could have done it, but another rock hits him in the head.

"Up here kid." said Cerulean.

Hanataro looked up and he saw that Cerulean's large body and being cradled by a weak looking branch, though he wondered how that was possible he was more concerned with what was happening.

"U-Um hello." uttered Hanataro shyly.

Cerulean jumped from the branch and onto the ground before Hanataro making the young medic fall back on his but.

"Hey kid, glad to see your doing okay since your little run with the cops, well ghost cops I guess." said Cerulean. Haantaro was confused by this statement until he remembered Captain Soifon.

"Oh, you saw all that." uttered Hanataro not wanting to remember the ordeal. Then a horrifying thought popped into Hanataro's head.

"D-Did you kill those men?" he asked afraid. Cerulean tilted his head and folded his arms.

"Weird that he asks that outright while at the same time believing it." thought Cerulean.

"No dummy it wasn't me, but in all honesty I got no clue who did it, only that your one of the prime suspects." said Cerulean. He then walked away from the tree and past Hanataro.

"Although I don't think you had anything to do with it either, more like you were in the wrong place at the wrong time." said Cerulean as he walked away.

"Wrong pla-" Hanatarou's eyes widened

"B-But you put me there in the first place!" said Hanataro a bit annoyed. Cetulean then froze in place, he then looked back at Hanataro with a nervous smile.

"O-Oh,I-I was hoping you wouldn't remember that part, sorry about that." said Cerulean. Hanataro sighed in frustation at that.

"But now we can forget about all that and start with your training with the more basic of Shinigami abilities." said Cerulean.

He then stepped foreward and reappeared on the tree much to Hanataro's shock, he then jumped and and reappeared on his side as if he was lounging and he dissapears for the final time causing Hanataro to look around for him only for Cerulean to reappear putting his arm on his shoulder and smiling down at him.

"Shunpo." said Cerulean with a smile. Hanataro had gotten dizzy from what Cerulean had done and Cerulean chuckled seeing this. Hanataro nearly fell over but he snapped out of it and realized something horrible and he began to run around scrambling his arms like a maniac

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" h yelled/

Cerulean was confused by this act of stupidity and spoke to Hanataro.

"Hey whats up do- I mean kid, why are you running like a chicken with your head lopped off?" asked Cerulean. Hanataro then tripped and fell on his face making him stop, in a way, and Cerulean just looks awkwardly at him. Hanataro gets up and looks just as frightened as before

"I-Ifs I'm not back then I can't finish my work, a-and if anyone finds out I snuck out then they really will think I murdered those men!" yelled Hanataro as he was about to cry.

"Oh that, don't worry Legion has it covered." said Cerulean. Hanataro's fearful face was replaced with confusion.

"H-Huh?" uttered Hanaataro.


Squad 4 HQ

As Legion was disguised as Hanataro he sorted the medical supplies and took them into account. Iemura then came through the door to check on "Hanataro" and saw him doing his job.

"Yamada, be sure to take account of all the medicine and tools csrefully, don't lose count or drop them like you usually would." said Iemura. Legion wanted to attack Iemura but he knew what to, act like Hanataro and not hurt anyone.

"Yes sir." said Legion.

Iemura then left, when he did and closed the door behind him Legion flipped his or rather Hanataro's middle finger at Iemura.

"I'd slice you in half four eyes." said Legion. He then got back to work.


Cerulean's home

"He's disguised as me?!" asked Hanataro. Cerulean nodded.

"Yep, he's doing your job right now, when you get sent back he'll switch himself for you and no one will be the wiser." said Cerulean.

"Oh, I-I guess its okay but its my job and I should do it." said Hanataro somberly. Cerulean grinned.

"Glad you think its a good idea." said Cerulean. Hanataro then had a sweatmark of awkwardness on his forehead.

"Um I think you ignored the other things I said." said Hanataro.

"Now I need to evaluate your abilities, shunpo to show me how good or bad you are." said Cerulean. Hanataro gulped, it seemed strange to do this but what happened the other day wasn't a dream and he did want training.

"O-Okay." said Hanataro

He then concentrated and did his best to shumpo though he is not adept at it, he runs and dissapears and reappears only 3 feet from where he was standing. Cerulean looked satisfied at how horrible Hanataro was but to make matters deeper Hanataro was extremely tired and winded from using shunpo. Hanataro was gasping and looks back at Cerulean.

"H-Ho-How d-did I-I do?" asked Hanataro.

"Horrible, do it several more times." ordered Cerulean.

Hanataro did as he was told and shunpoed again and again and Cerulean smiles watching him.

"This is gonna be so much fun." said Cerulean.


?

A woman with green hair in siting on the bench in a a park, there were many people around and it was in the afternoon. As she sat down in peace she was looking at the people as they were playing, talking eating or whatever and just observed them. As she did a red headed girl with glasses wolf whistled at her while she was walking by with a porn magazine in her hands.

"All wonderful souls." she uttered to herself,

Then a large Hollow appears before her, it looked like a gorilla bit with white plated armor that is its skin and a voodoo stlye hollow mask for its face. The woman looks up at the beast and smiles like a man falling into insanity, the beas does not attack but kneels like a knight before a queen. She then took out a camera and took a picture of it.

"Pretty pathetic little pet." he said.

She pets it like a puppy and it vanishes.

*Phone rings*

The woman's cell phone rings and she answers it, she is told information through the phone and she nods.

"Right, I'm on my way back." she said.

She then stood up and vanished into thin air.


?

It is not explained but Hanataro is lying on his stomach in a white room with a large cracked mirror, he gets up and groans in pain.

"O-Ow, what happened to me?" he uttered. Looks around and sees a mirror. He was compelled to walk over to it and did not obey, but when he looked inside he did not see his own reflection, in fact he only saw the room before him in the reflection.

"Um, is this a dream, wait what if the other thing was a dream?" uttered Hanataro.

He reached out to the mirror and touched it, but when he did it began to crack altering the reflection. Hanataro backs away from the mirror but in a matter of moments it repairs but in the reflection a dog's head with katana's stabbed into its head and blood flowing from it.

"W-what is this?" he asked afraid.

The dog head then fell out of the mirror and tried to attack Hanataro.

"AAHH!" yelled Hanataro as his eyes shot open and he sat up frantically. He looked around and saw Cerulean watching him with a confused look on his face.

"Hey kid whats wrong with you, passing out from shunpo and waking up like a maniac?" asked Cerulean. Hanataro sighed and was relieved that what he saw what just a dream.

"Well stand up kid, you gotta keep practicing kid." said Cerulean. Hanataro was still shaken by his dream but he agreed.

"Y-Yes sir." said Hanaataro.
