GAH! Sorry for not updating sooner, I encountered a horrible force known as...WRITERS BLOCK!

Mayuri: Quite the drama queen, aren't we.

Me:Mayuri? WTF? Aren't you supposed to be in the fanfic?

Mayuri(rolls eyes): Please. I escaped, and just in time, too. You're about to reveal my deepest secrets!

Me:But...none of this ever happend.

Mayuri:...

Me: Um, okay! Apparently I'm going to have THIS(glares at Mayuri) commenting in the Author's Note from now on. But, I guess I better start rolling out the disclaimers. I don't own Bleach, I don't -

Mayuri: What is Bleach? Do you refer to the washing material?

Me: (Facepalms) Anyway, I don't own the song 'Asterisk', the song 'Believe', the song 'Change the World', or the song 'I am'.

Enjoy!

Mayuri: People should not enjoy reading about my past tragedy.

Me: SHUT. UP.

Crunch.

"What happend? Who broke whose bone? WAS IT YOU, KENPACHI?!" Unohana yelled, jumping out of her seat at the sudden noise.

"Relax," Kenpachi said, rolling his eyes. "I just got some popcorn and cheese curls for myself."

Unohana glared at him.

"What? I was hungry!" Kenpachi said, crunching down on another cheese curl (which almost been stolen by Urahara, who woke up at the word "cheese curls").

"Are there enough for everybody?" Unohana said disapprovingly.

"What are you, a teacher?" Kenpachi asked, annoyed.

"KENPACHI..." Unohana growled.

"GAH! Don't worry! I'll make enough popcorn and buy enough cheese curls so there'll be enough for everyone! Fill me in when I get back, Unohana!" Kenpachi yelped as he ran out of the room.

Unohana sighed, and returned her attention to the screen.

"Aaaaahhh..."Teen Mayuri yawned. "Good morning, everybod-"

He stopped. Teen Mayuri hopped off the cot he was in and started fishing around in drawer of a nearby desk. As he was searching, Mei came up behind him in a clean, blue kimono.

"Hey, Mayuri, I was cleaning my clothes when I remebered about you. I'd like to apologize for yesterday. It's just that I'm not used to people not having ears, and-" Mei began, touching Teen Mayuri's shoulder.

"EEP!" he yelped, jumping and hitting his head on the low ceiling. He grabbed what he had been looking for and shoved them in his ears. He rubbed his head and turned around, fuming. "Why would you do that?"

Mei blinked. "Well, fine! Be that way, you FREAK!" she yelled, getting angry. "I guess I'll just go wake up Kazuo, then!" She turned around and huffed away.

Teen Mayuri turned his head ninety degrees to the right, a sure sign that he was confused(or mocking someone. Or just showing off. But in this case he was confused).

"What's her problem?" he muttered, sitting down at his desk. He was fiddling with a few pieces of metal when a voice said, "Don't blame Mei."

Teen Mayuri glanced in the direction that the voice had come from. It was Noboru.

"Why shouldn't I?" Teen Mayuri asked, bending over the metal again. "She was the one that used her own larynx to speak angrily and insult me."

Noboru laughed softly. "What are you, a scientist?"

"What? Is it so wrong to have a dream?!" Teen Mayuri stood up. "I want to discover what the human body can survive. I want someone cut to pieces to be able to live!"

"Dude, that wasn't an insult," Noboru said, spreading out his hands. "I mean, my vote is for world peace. I believe that people can change. And it's true!"

Noboru walked around so he could see Teen Mayuri's face. "There was a terrible woman who killed for pleasure and murdered without guilt. She had never let anyone who crossed her path survive. The only one who ever survived fighting with her was a young man named Zaraki."

"You know where she is now? She's the captain of Squad Four, and was once the captain of Squad Eleven! She's a DOCTOR!" Noboru grinned. "If someone as terrible as Captain Unohana can change, then everyone must be good at heart."

Teen Mayuri was silent, apparently lost in thought.

"But, as I was saying, don't blame Mei for being annoyed. She wanted to be the singer but Takeshi told her that it would be weird if an otherwise boy band had a female singer." Noboru explained. "You replaced her, dude."

Teen Mayuri pointed to himself and raised an eyebrow. Noboru laughed.

"Well, we better catch up with the rest. Once Kazuo and Yu get to the food, well...you might have to go back to digging through the trash!"

Noboru and Teen Mayuri started walking toward the kitchen.

"-insane?!" Mei was saying. "Come ON, Takeshi, he was putting these weird cork things in his ears so he could hear!"

Teen Mayuri stopped. Noboru looked at him.

"...you okay?" he asked.

"They're talking about me," Teen Mayuri said angrily. He stormed forward and burst through the kitchen door.

"Ahh, here he is!" Takeshi said, smiling broadly. "Mayuri, I'd like to apologize for everyone's behavior yesterday. You're all sorry, right guys?"

"We're sorry, Mayu," everybody except Mei rumbled.

"My name is MAYURI," the blue haired boy sighed. Takeshi looked at Mei.

"Well...?" he raised an eyebrow.

"What?!" Mei scoffed. "I don't have to apologize to that freak! I bet he can't even really sing!"

"Um, acutally..." Teen Mayuri began, but was cut off by Noboru.

"Mei, what's your problem? Leave the guy alone," Noboru scowled. "I know you're upset, but still!"

"I'm not upset over not being the singer!" Mei screamed. "I'm worried about my little sister, you assholes!"

There was silence.

"You have a little sister?" Teen Mayuri asked.

"Hell yeah, you bastard," Mei sniffed, crying. "And she's all alone, except for my dad!"

"Mei, calm down," Takeshi massaged his forhead. "Listen, Mayu - can I call you Mayu?"

"No."

"Alright, Mayu, we've written some songs," Takeshi pushed a few sheets of music across the table to the infuriated Teen Mayuri. "Take a look."

The blue-haired boy scanned the title quickly.

"'Believe'...'I am'...'Asterisk'...'Change the World'. Hey, that's the one I sang!" Teen Mayuri reviewed the songs. "Why don't we try out 'Asterisk'?"

His stomach rumbled.

"After we eat."

"That was the best meal I"ve had in ages!" Teen Mayuri said. Kazuo laughed. "Ya haven't been eating much, then."

"Nope," Teen Mayuri answered. "So, as I was saying, let's try out the song 'Asterisk'."

"We can't," Mei sighed, getting over the trauma of her little sister. She glared at Takeshi. "Mr. Song writer over there needs these weird instruments that don't even exist."

"Well, EXCUSE me!" Takeshi replied hotly. "I'm just using my talents!"

"You want a damn electric guitar, whatever that is!" Mei shouted back.

"Mei, Takeshi, let's just CALM DOWN," advised Akihiro. "Mayu here is gonna be a scientist, right Mayu? You can invent this electric guitar?"

"Firts of all, it's MAYURI," Teen Mayuri sighed. "It isn't that hard of a name. Secondly, scientists don't invent. They DISCOVER. The only situation that I can possibly think of where a scientist would invent was if they were inventing a vaccine for a deadly illness."

"So you will do it?" Takeshi said hopefully, not absorbing any of Teen Mayuri's small speech. He gave him puppy eyes.

Teen Mayuri sighed again, looking at the expectant faces of the hope-to-be band.

"Of course I will."

Me: Oh, boy. I'm starting to regret even starting this section on Mayuri's past. What is this - Part 4?

Mayuri: How did you even discover this?

Me: None of your damn business.

Mayuri: Actually, it kind of is.

Me: Whatever. Please review!
