(I'd recommend listening to Memories by Within Temptation whilst reading this chapter ^^)

"GIIIIIN!" I screamed, sonidoing through the halls before crashing into the white-haired "creep" I call my friend.

"Chie-chan! What's tha mat'ah?" he asked, concerned.

I wrapped my arms around him tightly in hope that he would protect me. I took in a deep breath before speaking.

"!" I said quickly all in that one breath, before panting madly and squeezing him tighter.

"...What?" he questioned. "Slo' down, Chie-chan."

"I spilt tea over Cifer-sama and now I'm scared that he's gonna kill me but the worse part is, I felt someone trip me so someone else probably thought that Cifer-sama would kill me if I did that which thankfully I escaped before he could and GIN SAVE ME!" I cried.

"Uh, okay... How 'bout I have a li'l conva'sation with 'im?" Gin offered.

"Uhm okay... But how will that help?"

"Trus' me, Chie-chan."

"O-okay..." I released him from my deadly hug and watched him flashstep away.

I'm curious.

I wonder what he'll say.

Hm. Can't hurt to follow him, can it?

Naaah.

I sonido'd after him, following his spiritual pressure closely whilst hiding mine, but still keeping my distance. Soon, I felt it stop moving.

I peered around the corner curiously and listened in on the conversation.

"Ichimaru, have you seen my trashy Fraccion?" Master.

"Maybe, n' maybe not." Gin.

"Which one is it?"

"Guess!"

"Trash..." He pushed past Gin and continued walking.

"Ya shouldn' be so hard on 'er, t'was an acciden', wasn' it?"

"Regardless of whether or not it was an accident, she destroyed my document-"

"Then what's tha'?" Gin said, I saw him point at a piece of paper lazily wedged between my master's index and middle fingers.

He glanced at the paper himself before answering. "...I re-wrote the document... She also ruined my uniform and stained my carpet. Has she no respect? Could she not be more careful?" I could, but I didn't think I was gonna be tripped by some asshole looking for entertainment.

"Yer overreactin', Ulqui."

"Am I?" Yes, yes you are.

"Yes, she's 'ad it rough, don' give 'er more shit t' deal with."

"...Trash." I heard footsteps coming towards me.

"Ulqui, is tha' any way t' talk t' ya superior?" No reply. "Anyway, as I was sayin' before, she's 'ad it rough."

'Ulqui' ignored.

"Her mommy died when she was li'l." My jaw dropped. The footsteps paused. Everything was silent until Gin continued speaking. "Her daddy, bein' tha noble Soul Reaper Konoe, dropped 'er off a' tha Soul Society soon afta', then disappeared n' was declared dead. She was raised by Kuchiki-taichou, who didn' really sho' any int'rest in 'er. Ukitake-taichou was always sick so he couldn' take care 'f 'er. She was lonely. She pass' tha time trainin' 'er kido n' hoho. Her sword skills were weak, she go' picked on n' beaten up 'cause 'f it. She was still cheery, tho'. Sev'ral people hated 'er cheeriness n' foun' it annoyin'. She's been forced inta t'ings she didn' wan', from small t'ings like paperwork, t' big t'ings like bein' turned inta a hollow. T'ere's prob'ly a lo'ta otha t'ings tha' happened in tha past, bu' tha's as far as I know. Poin' is, 'er life ain' been an easy ride, especially since she's so youn'."

I tried to hold in the tears as best as I could, but they came out so quick, giving each one time to put the harsh memory back into my head, the memory I had tried so often to forget - the day my mother died.

"That is none of my concern," he said, dismissing the subject as he continued on.

I pressed my back up against the wall as far as I could go, making sure to keep my spirit pressure invisible. I waited for him to pass, which eventually, he did, and thankfully, without seeing me either.

Once I decided he was far away enough, I marched over to Gin and grabbed him by his collar, pulling him down to my level. Not 'cause I'm short, 'cause he's tall.

"Why the hell did you have to bring THAT up?" I yelled.

"Now, now, Chie-chan, t'is rude t' eavesdrop," he smiled. THIS ISN'T FUNNY.

"THIS ISN'T A JOKE! If I wanted people to know the shit I've been through I'd tell them myself! When I asked for help I didn't mean try to make him feel pitiful just because of my crappy life!"

"Chie-chan..."

"I didn't remember...I didn't want to remember." My shouting turned to sobbing as I finished the conversation. I released him from my grasp and ran.

I found my way back to my room - How do I know it's mine? Last time I was here I quickly scratched my initials into the door. - and plopped down in the corner, bringing my knees up to my chest, hugging my arms around them.

Tears continued to leave my eyes and stream down my cheeks, following the tracks left by the first, all of the memories flooding back and replaying in my head. The screaming, the blood, the rain, the lifelessness left in her body as the hollows retreated... It felt like the whole world came crashing down, and at such a young age... No four-year-old should've had to endure something like that. Ever. And when I discovered my father had died, that broke me even more.

I kept a smile on my face all these years to hide the pain. Ever since I was killed and reborn into a Hollow, I forgot all of that. I didn't want to remember! Why did he bring it up? He could've simply said, 'She's sorry, she didn't mean it, don't blame her,' yada yada yada but NOOO, he had to bring THAT up.

A sudden knock at the door snapped me out of my thoughts. I quickly stood up and composed myself.

The door opened abruptly as I reached for the handle, I stumbled back a little in shock.

My master.

(Yeah sorry if the charries are a bit OOC (I just felt something here was wrong) but I needed to fit her past in somewhere... Btw the reason she remembers stuff like orange soda and not her parent's deaths is cuz her parent's deaths was too far back. I know she's dead so she ain't meant to remember ANYTHING, I just made her special :P EITHER WAY. Gin fked up. She ain't happy. Gin, watch your back. ;) )
