When desires and dreams collide.

{Bleach - OST 04 - Track 23: Wrapped in Kindness}

Above the clouds of the town of Karakura, a young lady was arguing with someone by her comunicator and with a very worried tone.

- What have you just said?

- Exactly what you heard, Urahara. Inoue-san saw me and talked to me. And worse, I had to invent a fictitious name and I just kind of told her that I would come back to talk to Kurosaki Ichigo tomorrow...

- My goodness! And what did you say your name was?

- Hisa.

- This is no fictitious name! It's your real name!

- My name is another, that's just my nickname, only you call me that!

- ...

- Damn, Urahara, what happens now?

- I'm not sure. One thing is the clock stopping something before you do it, another is he avoiding memory lapses or dimensional fusion of them. I can't precisely know what's going to happen because that never happened before and also because someone told that she would be careful.

- I'm sorry, but I didn't knew that Inoue-san could hide her reiatsu like that. I screwed up because I thought something might have happened to her...

- Well, what's done it's done. If something bad had to happen, it would have already happened, and you said you would visit Kurosaki Ichigo tomorrow?

- Not necessarily, now that you just told me that probably nothing bad will happen, maybe I should just watch everything from a distance.

- Or maybe not.

- What do you mean?

- Maybe interacting with them would be a good thing; it would strengthen your bonds of trust with them and it wouldn't be so out of the plans.

-... Wait a second, you're not really suggesting that I go on with this!

- I already have the perfect clothes for you. I'll be sending them to you tomorrow morning.- says Urahara with an evil smile, almost diabolic.

- You stupid jerk! What excuse will I give them when they see a new student coming from nowhere to them?!- Hisana screams that with so much anger and volume that some clouds retreat in fear.

- Be creative, just like your mother. - says Urahara, hiding his giggles with his fan.

- Argh! Urahara!

- Hehehe, I was just kidding. But think about it, Hisa-chan, this opportunity to see them alive again is truly unique.

- That's not what I meant, it's just... I don't know if I'm ready to look them in the eyes after so many years and on top of it, they're younger than me...

- Hisa...

There's a moment of silence between the two of them, then Hisana answer:

- Urahara, if that's what it takes to complete the mission, then all right, I can do it.

- I'm counting on you, Hisa-chan.

- One more thing Urahara, how are the others?

- They're asleep at the moment, we're all tired because of today and, speaking of tired, Hisana, you have to sleep too.

- Yeah, that's true. I'll handle myself, don't worry.

- Good luck, Hisa-chan, and good night.

- Good night to you too Urahara.

Hisana turns off the communicator.

- Drats! Where am I going to sleep? I'm feeling like a poor homeless tramp right now...

Hisana starts to look for an appropriate place to sleep, but if a place to sleep was the problem, she didn't want to think about how she would find a place to use the toilet.

- That stupid... Urahara! He could have at least saved me all that.

{Bleach - OST 01 - Track 22: Going Home}

Ichigo was climbing to the rooftop of his house ( up there was surely the most airy place to go ), but when he reaches the rooftop he notices that he's not the only one in that house awake for the night.

- Rukia? What are you doing here?

Rukia looks at Ichigo even more surprised by seeing him.

- Ichigo? I just couldn't sleep, so I came here for a fresh air, but I'll be going down soon. What about you? Problems to sleep too?

- Sort of. I actualy woke up after a weird dream I had.

- Interesting. I also woke up because of a dream.

- Realy? And how was your dream?

- Well...- Rukia thinks for a second about what parts of her dream she should tell him, after all, some parts would be really embarrassing to tell her partner - It was a very weird dream about us.

Ichigo pays more attention to Rukia when he hears "about us".

- I dreamed that we... we...- Rukia finds the situation very uncomfortable, but, as a strong woman, she continues - I dreamed that we were married, Ichigo. And we had a daughter.

Ichigo falters when he hears that. Could that be the same dream he had?

- I dreamed about it all night, but the most freaky thing is that the dream was so real that I can remember the heat of that child's body... I can remember her running through the backyard of the so called "our house" and I even remember you with me and her, all together, like a family...

Ichigo was pale. He couldn't believe what he was listening to. Meanwhile, Rukia was talking without noticing Ichigo's expressions. After telling him more details about the dream, avoiding the inappropriate parts, Rukia says:

- Ichigo, what most bothered me wasn't the dream itself, but it was the sensation that it transmitted me, like it was all a memory of mine... I'm sorry for saying this things to you who always were my friend, but the truth is...- Rukia pauses - Sorry, I shouldn't have told you this, Ichigo. - She looks at him. He was thoughtful, staring her with a blank expression. - Ichigo? Are you all right?

- Huh? Oh, yes, I'm all right. Don't worry Rukia, dreams are just dreams; we're having a hard week of tests in school, that must have affected us, making it difficult to tell apart the real from the imaginary- says Ichigo, trying to be convincing.

- Yeah? I just wanted you to know that I realy respect you as a friend and I didn't wanted to be disrespecful to you not even in dreams, Ichigo.

- It's all right, I understand. It's just a realy unexpected situation, but it's OK and don't worry about it. - says Ichigo, walking to the edge of the rooftop to come back down to his room. - It's getting late, Rukia, we ought to be heading back. Tomorrow we don't have tests but I doubt that tomorrow will be as calm as today.

- Okay. - Rukia says getting up - Ichigo?

- Yes?

- What was your dream about?

Ichigo stops walking down the stairs, thinks for a moment and answers:

- It must have been... Not so important 'cause I don't even remember it anymore. – says Ichigo, continuing going down the stairs to escape from the subject - Come quickly or you'll get a cold.

- I'm coming.

Rukia and Ichigo descends from the roof.

- Rukia...

- Yes, Ichigo?

Ichigo considers telling Rukia something, but he decides that it would be the best to keep it to himself.

- Ahn... No big deal, I was just going to say that you should realy try to sleep this time.

- Thanks, wish the same to you. Good night Ichigo.

- Good night Rukia.

After wishing a good night to each other, they go back to their respectives rooms; both were still thinking about that strange dream they shared, but Ichigo was the most disturbed by it. Why did he had the same dream Rukia did? Why did both shared the same feelings? Who was that girl from the dream that seemed so real?

That was all very confusing to Ichigo and the only thing he could think of was that it had been a coincidence, an incredible coincidence, as he hoped it was.

{Bleach - OST 01 - Track 07: Creping Shadows}

Far away from there, inside a big dark dimension, two beings looking a lot like humans with assassin's eyes ran towards the town of Karakura, thirsty for battle, blood and destruction. It was just a matter of time before their wishes were satisfied and hell started again.

- I will play a lot with her before I bring her to our master, you can have the rest.- said the taller one, the one with arabic look, ferocious, full of scars all around his body and a giant sword attached to his back.

- As always, you want to have the best part of the party, don't you, Fisus? - said the short one, with agile body and two swords attached to his back.

- I'm giving you almost all the toys and you still complaint? Don't be so ungrateful, Granus.

- Whatever. What bothers me is the reason she came here.

- I can't think of a reason she would come here, but if it's against the will of my master, then I don't really care about the details.

- True, our master always knows what he's doing. And I have to thank him for sending us here to play with Hisa-chan again. Do you think that she still the same little girl, weak and impulsive that thinks she can save everybody?

- I don't give a damn about how she's like, I just want to have revenge for all the scars she drew in my body.

- Hehehe, if that's the case, then I think that the good parts will be mine.

- Hehehe. - Fisus looks at the horizon that he's running to and says:

- Wait for me! KUROSAKI HISANA!
