I don't own Bleach, but I wish I could.

Yuzu POV

I couldn't breathe; it felt as if something was restricting me from breathing. I was suffocating and I could hear my heart pounding fast. I closed my eyes tight, this pain was too much. I heard in the background Karin's panic calls, but I couldn't listen.

I opened my eyes only to be greeted with the mouth of a hollow. My legs were flying everywhere; I was struggling to get out of this grip. This deadly grip, I knew I was too close to death. No, No! My mind was going into a frenzy. I can't die! My eyes were looking straight at the hollows mouth, as I was slowly reaching into the abyss. I'm scared!

My eyes looked everywhere, Karin was being restricted down. I can't move, I can't do anything, I was defenseless. If I can't do anything, will I die like this? Die just-…just like…

30 minutes before…

We made it to our mothers grave and I couldn't help the tighten feeling that went to my heart. Every time, I couldn't stop myself from feeling emotional. Maybe it was the feelings I received from Yuzu in this world, or maybe my own attachment of what I heard about our mother, but I felt this sense of yearning. As if I wish she was still alive, and if she was, all this drama wouldn't have happened.

There was this dark feeling clouding up in my heart and I didn't like it. I crouched down in front of our mother's grave and I let out a small sob. Those small sobs slowly became loud sobs.

"Yuzu! Every time we come here you're always crying." Karin stated, her voice coming from behind me. I couldn't stop the tears from flowing, trying to hold in the emotions that were flowing out. How can Karin be this strong?

"B-but Karin, it hurts to see her gone…" I said, my voice cracking as I said it. Karin sighed and crouched down next to me, her arms wrapped around my shoulders.

"We're 11 years old now! We need to be strong." Karin said with a tone of wisdom, but I couldn't help the sad thought of just growing up.

"Cheer up!" I heard our father's voice from behind us, and I couldn't help but tune him off. As much as our father's antics is endearing, he could be really annoying.

Karin kicked him away and there was a small chase going on between them. I stayed silent. There wasn't much to wonder on; instead I just wanted to feel fulfilled. How does it feel to be satisfied? I'm satisfied with how everything is, right?

Suddenly I shuddered; I felt the hands, hands that would follow me, as if I had sinned in some way. I suddenly felt very isolated, as if there was only me in the world. Along with whoever is following me around, someone who is constantly making me feel regret.

Karin appeared to my right, and she picked up the praying position. Her sudden entrance stopped me from my own thoughts. I didn't bother to try to pick up where I had left off. We had decided to stay in a comfortable silence, praying to our mother.

The feeling wouldn't go away; something was clawing on my shoulders. As if something bad was going to happen if I just don't move. Suddenly, Karin jumped up, she was alerted. I was startled and I turned to my right.

"What's wrong?" I asked her, but she didn't bother to answer my question. She held a protective pose in front of me, and then I saw it. All I could make up of it would be that it was a big furry type of hollow. It also had this mask that hid its face, but it showed its big teeth.

"Where's dad?" Karin asked, her panic was very evident, and I looked at her. "He said he was going to meet up with the priest." I replied back to her, my words slurring a bit because of how much I was crying.

The trees around us were being torn apart, and I felt goose bumps appear on my skin. I shivered and I looked up with fear.

"The bigger the bait is the better!" I heard the hollows voice, and Karin pushed me behind her.

"Yuzu! Run!" She demanded, but I was too shock to run. I only stood there, looking at the big hollow. I went in front of Karin, knowing the risk and was suddenly swiped off of my feet.

I felt my feet dangling in the air and I saw it, the hollow mouth. And suddenly, I felt the regret that had been piled up.

I couldn't breathe, I was suffocating. I couldn't breathe; it felt as if something was restricting me from breathing. I was suffocating and I could hear my heart pounding fast. I closed my eyes tight, this pain was too much. I heard in the background Karin's panic calls, but I couldn't listen.

I opened my eyes only to be greeted with the mouth of a hollow. My legs were flying everywhere; I was struggling to get out of this grip. This deadly grip, I knew I was too close to death. No, No! My mind was going into frenzy. I can't die! My eyes were looking straight at the hollows mouth, as I was slowly reaching into the abyss. I'm scared!

My eyes looked everywhere, Karin was being restricted down. I can't move, I can't do anything, I was defenseless. If I can't do anything, will I die like this? Die just-…just like..

I couldn't remember this feeling. This feeling of despair and fear, this was too familiar. It was too welcoming at the same time. I can't fall victim to this, I have to do something.

I was struggling, but I can barely see anything. I'm going to die this way? All I saw was static, my vision was starting to blur as I was clawing at the hands that were holding onto my throat.

But I felt myself flying, did someone do something? I couldn't open my eyes, I was too tired too. All I saw was the black kimono and bright orange hair. Ah…It's Ichigo. I thought before everything became black.

That day, I felt like I missed an important event. I woke up only to be greeted with the ceiling of my room. This reminded me when I first came into this world… I thought. I looked out the window, trying to piece together what had happened during the day.

Just thinking about how everything went, it made me feel pathetic. But I don't know anymore, what should I do? What does this world expect me to do?

Am I just a thing of entertainment? Is it fun to see me suffer? Why was I given a second chance? I don't understand, but I felt it. The clock keeps on ticking, but will I still be able to stay on track?

What should I do? I'm scared.

Authors Note:

Okay! Here's chapter 10, to be totally honest, I didn't know how to write this chapter. It's just like any other chapters LOL. But I think you'll like the next chapter, I'm assuming a different type of spice? I don't know, but I think it'll be nice. I'm planning it, but I'm not sure on when I will publish the next chapter.

ALSO THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS, AND THE FAVORITES AND FOLLOWS! Oh gosh, I was so surprised to see how much I have gotten so far. It makes me feel so happy, I'm happy that you guys enjoy this story.

My character development and how everything goes literally are based off on how I feel. But that isn't all that important; I'm hoping you guys like Yuzu a lot. I try to make her as good as everyone wants her to be, but it's hard since I'm not sure what I should do with her either ahaha!

Anyways, before I begin my blabbering and my boring discussions, thank you guys so much for the love!
