A/N: (X infinity) Since bffaaitf and I have been discussing story ideas, I shall be giving you a new chapter a week early! DADADDADDADA!

Uuryu: Who gave you sugar crack?

Me: Wouldn't you like to know!

Reed: Am I dead?

Me: You'll see soon enough!

Reed: *mumbles* Crack head

Me: I heard that!

Reed: Heh heh… *RUN*

Uuryu: ANY WAYS HERES THE DISCLAIMER:

I don't own Bleach. I DO own ChiyoChi and other OCs

Review: Reed flew through a window!

Me: It's a bird! It's a plane! Nope… Just Reed.

Uuryu POV

The night I had walked ChiyoChi home, her father flipped out. He slammed the door in my face, and I heard ChiyoChi scream. I heard the breaking of glass and several yells of pain. After awhile, it stopped. The man opened the doors again. "You best leave kid. I'm not happy." I could smell the liquor on his breath. I nodded and turned on my heel. I looked back at the large house. 'ChiyoChi… One day, I'll save you. You will get away from all this.' Even though I didn't know the entire story, I wasn't going to let her go through that. I even felt bad for reed, even though I didn't know him well. Who knew how long she had been dealing with this?

The next day at school, I noticed bruises on ChiyoChi's face and neck. I avoided her, trying to make sure she didn't know. Whilst Orohime bombarded her with questions, I just looked at her and felt such sadness when I looked into her eyes. Those eyes looked like they had experienced such sorrow. The day felt so long. I knew it had to be even longer for ChiyoChi. I was relieved when the bell rang. I couldn't help but watch ChiyoChi walk slowly and carefully down the streets to pick up her brother. I sighed and started down the opposite street.

The next morning, I flipped on the news. My eyes widened. 'Late last night, a young girl named ChiyoChi Yamamoto, and her brother, Reed Yamamoto, were transported to the Ishida Hospital. Reports that have been released are that their father was highly intoxicated and in a drunken rampage threw Reed Yamamoto out of the second story window, and whilst helping her brother, ChiyoChi was cut deeply all over her body with the glass that littered the ground around him. Police are not releasing any more information so far.' I didn't even catch the rest of the report. I ran as fast as possible down the street and headed for the hospital.

Ichigo, Orohime, Rukia, and Chad POV (Sort of)

Ichigo opened the door to be greeted by Orohime. She had tears in her eyes as she flung herself into his arms. Any bystander would see the orange headed man blinking rapidly in confusion. When he finally got that she was hugging him and not strangling him, he placed one arm around her and the other went to close the door. The door was stopped by a large foot. He opened it again to reveal a rather distressed looking Chad. "You haven't seen the news yet have you?" Orohime asked, looking up through her tear filled eyes. Ichigo shook his head. "What news?" he asked. Rukia was soon down the stairs, luckily his father and sisters weren't home. "Orohime? Chad? What's going on?" she asked. "Well I flipped on the news th-this m-morning and I saw a story…" She trailed off burying her head into Ichigo's chest. This time it was Chad to speak up, "A story about the yamamoto family. ChiyoChi and Reed are in the hospital." He replied in his monotone voice. Ichigo and Rukia felt their eyes widen. "W-Why?" Rukia asked panicked. Orohime spoke through a ventilated voice, "T-they said, that her father was drunk and that he through Reed out the w-window and while helping him ChiyoChi was b-badly cut." She whispered.

At the end of that, Rukia, Chad, Ichigo, and Orohime were running towards the hospital. Even though they didn't know her well, her life was already a living hell, and with this new addition to it, it was even worse. Panting, they ran into the hospital. They all cringed at the nurse at the front desk's look. "How can I help you?" She asked, obviously trying to hide her irritation. Suddenly, the door flew open. A huffing Uuryu ran in. They turned to him confused. "Wh-Where's ChiyoChi!" He yelled through breaths. The nurse came out from behind them and put a hand on his shoulder. "Uuryu, calm down. Miss Yamamoto is stable. However, visiting hours start back up in half an hour."

"I'll wait." He said regaining his breath.

They all sat in silence. Well, almost silence. Orohime was crying and Rukia was mumbling ChiyoChi's name several times. Ichigo decided to break it. By whining. "Jeeze! What's taking so long?" He said childishly. A nurse came over to scold him. Ichigo mostly drowned it out. She looked up at the clock and sighed. "Visiting hours are now open. Five maximum." They looked at Uuryu. "Go. Just be quick." He almost sounded hollow. They nodded stiffly and followed the nurse down the hall and into the room. The nurse unlocked the door and ushered them in. Orohime burst into tears. There, lying in the hospital bed was ChiyoChi. She was covered head to toe in bandages, aside from her face, which also had some minor cuts. Her lip was busted, bleeding slightly. Her dark green hair was twisted into two piggy tails on the side of her head. She was just staring at the T.V., as if she wasn't even registering it's noise, even though she couldn't see it. Ichigo held the crying Orohime in his arms. ChiyoChi turned her head to look at them. The sadness and hollowness in her eyes was enough to make even Rukia cry silently.

ChiyoChi POV

I couldn't see them, but I could hear them. I could here Orohime's tears being shed, as she breathed in and out, slightly muffled. They walked toward me. "So who's all here?" I was surprised at house low my voice was. Ichigo answered. "Ichigo, Chad, Orohime, and Rukia, Oh and Uuryu is out in the waiting room, it was five max and he volunteered to wait." "H-have you guys heard anything about Reed? They wont tell me anything." "Sorry, but no." I frowned. "How are you feeling?" Orohime asked, with sadness littering her sweet voice. I smiled and lied, "I'm alright." The tension in the air was threatening to suffocate me. "You don't believe me?" I asked, sarcasm was evident, but even I could hear the sadness that was also in there. "No." I raised a brow at Chad's boldness. "Hmph. I'm just worried about reed. Nothing to fret over." I replied, closing my eyes and reliving the moment. The pain of my dad pulling my hair, and the razor sharp glass digging into my flesh. I turned up the T.V. "Update on the Yamamoto hospital investigation case." I raise the other brow. "After some digging into the offenders records, the police have revealed that Richard Yamamoto, father of ChiyoChi and Reed Yamamoto, has had 4 DUIs and 4 reports of theft. He has also gone to jail for 4 years for attempted murder. However, he escaped and married Jasmine Yamamoto, who is deceased. According to the police, due to his past records, there will not be a court order. He is going to jail for 20 years. No decisions have been made for the children's housing." I just sat there and soaked it all in.

I turned on my side, the opposite side of the door Ichigo, Rukia, Chad and Orohime were by. I always knew the man was crazy but that crazy? I closed my eyes, trying to hide the tears that welled up in them. "ChiyoChi?" "Go away please." I wasn't trying to be mean, but I needed to be alone. Alone to ponder in the world of worries that I lived in. "Alright." "Thank you Ichigo." I waited for the door to click shut. I heard muffled talking and then the door opened. "You better be a nurse." "N-No it's Uuryu." "Oh Uuryu. I'm sorry." I said, feeling bad for the tone I had used.

"Don't be."

"What are you doing here?"

"I saw the news."

"ah."

"Are you alright?"

It was silent for a few minutes. I sighed. "No Uuryu. I'm not alright. I'm worried about my brother. They wont tell me anything. Not to mention I just learned that my dad is a thug." "Thug?" "You didn't see the newscast? Hmm. They revealed that he's a criminal with DUIs and stuff. My mom probably didn't even know."

"I'm sorry."

"Why?"

"I-I don't know. I just-"

"It's fine. I'm just… scared." I admitted.

"Scared?"

"Yeah. The doctors were talking about the eye surgery I'm supposed to have. I cant afford it. Plus, what if my brother needs a surgery or something? What am I supposed to do? I just don't know anymore. I always had my mom and dad protecting me." I said and stifled a sob; closing my eyes against the tears. "ChiyoChi." The door slammed open and (probably) a nurse came in. "Yes?" I asked. "We have news on your brother." I shot up. "W-well that w-was stupid." I said feeling the immense pain throughout my body. I fell back onto my back. "That was really stupid. Now what's the news?"

"ChiyoChi…" Uuryu whispered so quietly I barely caught it. "Your brother is… in a coma." My world stopped. So did my breathing. I felt myself faint. I couldn't say that I saw darkness, mostly because I always do. "ChiyoC…" I was out.

My eyes slowly opened. You know? Sometimes I wonder why I open them at all. "Anyone here?" I asked. "ChiyoChi! You're awake." I nodded. "Uuryu? What time is it? Why are you still here?" I asked. "3:00 am. I'm here because I… I was worried." I smiled. "Thank you Uuryu. What happened?" I questioned rubbing my head. "You got the news about… Reed, and then you fainted." My eyes widened. "Reed… This is all my fault." I said. "ChiyoChi! It's not your fault." "YES IT IS! I'm the one who talked about mom in my sleep! I'm the reason he was thrown out the window! I'm probably the reason dad was drunk!" I felt a hand on my cheek. I cringed, thinking I was going to be slapped. "I'm not going to hit you." I relaxed. "ChiyoChi. Please listen to me. This is slightly out of character for me, but I…I care about you. I don't want you blaming yourself. That man was a danger to you anyways." My cheeks felt wet. I realized I was crying. "Uuryu. I'm going to cry. And if you tell anyone, I will hit you." I said smiling. Uuryu wrapped his arms around me, much to my surprise. After a seconds hesitation, I returned the hug, and cried into his chest.

I stopped crying moments later. I felt so sleepy. "Uuryu, why don't you go home and sleep. I get out of here tomorrow I think" I said, resting my head on his shoulder. "ChiyoChi, promise me." "What?" "Promise me you wont blame yourself." I smiled. "Uuryu, that's not something I can promise. But I will promise you this. I won't let this get the better of me." I replied. "sigh, alright." "Thank you." "Goodnight, ChiyoChi." I listened to his quiet foot steps until the door opened and closed. "Thank you." I said again, falling to sleep. But not a dreamless sleep.

Mama! Mama! MAMA! A six year old me wailed as she heard her mother being taken away in an ambulance. "Is she dead?" Reed asked, always too smart for his age. "We aren't sure." The man replied. Then the time changed to six years later. Her dad was drunk again. He trashed the house and locked his kids in their rooms. But not before taking his anger out on them. He spanked them until they couldn't sit anymore. Time change; now. The girl, now a teen, yelled mom over and over again. Her brother woke her. But their dad was drunk, and beat them again. Her brother and her were taken to the hospital.

My eyes fluttered open. "That dream again?" I sighed. "Miss Yamamoto? Hi I'm Nurse Jackie. You can leave today if you'd like. But your brother…" "It's alright Nurse Jackie. I know already. Do you have any idea…?" "About how long? No I'm sorry. I don't." I smiled sadly. "It's alright. Thank you. Can I… see him?" "I'm afraid not. He's getting surgery, to get the bigger pieces out of his organs. "S-Surgery?" I whimpered. "Oh Reed, I'm so sorry." I whispered. "Miss." I sniffed. "Thank you. Sorry about that." "It's perfectly understandable." I walked slowly and carefully, due to the pain in my limbs, to the door. "What about my clothes?" I asked Jackie. "Here you go. I'll lead you to the bathroom. Your friend Orohime brought them." She said handing me a bundle of clothing.

One week later:

I was walking down the street with Rukia and Ichigo. I had acted so much different lately. I was more independent, quiet and didn't yell at people when they pitied me anymore. I wasn't me anymore. I missed my brother. And my surgery was two months away.
