This story has been on here before but I had decided to take it off just because of my original intention to cancel this whole series. This fanfic had remained on Quotev and I am glad I hadn't deleted it because I started rethinking my decision to cancel this and decided that I will finish it. I already started it so why cancel something so quickly? I made it one of my goals to finish this series someday, that day most likely being several years from now but that's fine because I love a challenge. I will be updating this for the remainder of this month. Expect, at least, three more chapters.

Sōsuke Aizen, a tall man with scholarly chocolate brown hair, falsely soft chocolate brown eyes, and dark-colored square glasses, stood amongst a small crowd in a human park without any purpose. People scurried around him as they hurried to get to their destinations. Aizen let out a small chuckle as he observed the rushing humans. None seemed to sit back and enjoy the moment. "None of them know," he muttered to himself.

"Hey!" someone called out. Aizen turned towards the direction of the mystery person. A young female, whom looked to be about twenty or so, stood across from him. Her long light-sandy blonde hair, almost white, hung down well below her waist. She had blue gray eyes and a small stature, but she most definitely had a big personality. At first, Aizen ignored her since he believed that she couldn't see him and that she was actually speaking to someone else nearby. "Hey!" she yelled at him. Again, the brown haired man ignored her. "Will you answer me?!" She finally got tired of being ignored and actually grabbed onto Aizen, having had enough. She didn't care about the looks sent her way; she never gave a damn about what people thought of her, she didn't care if they thought she was crazy or not.

Aizen stared at the young female with a little bit of shock. No one had ever been able to see him before. At least, no human being had ever been able to. After a moment, he settled down. "You can actually see me," he stated.

The young female sighed, looking quite a bit annoyed. "Obviously, considering that I have been calling out to you for almost a full two minutes."

"What may I do for you?" Aizen asked, trying his best to hurry the conversation along. Although he was slightly intrigued that she was able to see him, he didn't seem all that interested in talking to her for long. She was just an abnormal human at best.

"I wanted to ask you something," the young female stated. Aizen raised an eyebrow and signaled for her to proceed. "W-What is the afterlife like?" she asked timidly. She really wished to know.

Aizen was taken back by the question, having never been asked that before; he had no idea whether or not he should answer her or just leave her without an answer at all. He saw her eyes begin to fill with a sad emotion. He came to the conclusion that either someone in her life or she herself would be dying soon. With a small sigh, Aizen reluctantly answered. "That's not something I can really answer because it's different for every person whom goes to the Soul Society." He began to explain, very vaguely, what the Soul Society was like. The girl listened carefully, taking in every single detail. Time flew by and Aizen found himself explaining a bit more than he liked but for some reason, he couldn't help himself. When Aizen finished, the young female nodded as she thought of the information she just received.

"T-Thank you, sir," she said to Aizen. "You've…really helped me out a lot." She gave Aizen a small smile. "May I ask one last thing?" When Aizen nodded shortly, she asked her question. "What is your name?"

Aizen looked at the young female, really trying to determine where she was trying to go. "Sōsuke Aizen," he answered after a few minutes. "May I ask for yours?" It was only fair if he got her name in return.

The young female gave the man standing in front of her a radiant smile. "Ayako Hirai."

~Obvious Time Skip~

Aizen found himself visiting the World of the Living more often after his encounter with Ayako Hirai. He would find excuses to visit it just to see his new friend, his first real friend. Several years passed by since he had met Ayako and somehow, he couldn't shake the feeling of how important she felt to him. Every moment they spent together, the more attached he grew to her and the more desire for her blossomed inside of him. He had never felt that way towards anyone before and it was such a strange sensation for him to feel.

One evening, he stood outside of the apartment building that Ayako was living in, trying to determine whether or not he should take the leap. "What am I doing?" he mumbled to himself. He felt like such a hormonal teenage human boy, yet he couldn't help it. Something about Ayako just wanted him to make her see him and only him. He had fallen in love and he had never imagined that such a thing could occur.

"Sōsuke!" Aizen turned to see Ayako running down the street towards him. She stopped short a few feet in front of him with a huge smile on her face. "I wasn't expecting you today," she confessed. Usually, there were set days and times for when Aizen would come but today was a true exception.

"I'm sorry for coming unannounced but I wished to ask you something." Aizen watched as Ayako looked at him confused. Butterflies flew around in his stomach, something that only occurred every once in a while whenever he was around her. The young human female seemed to make him feel something he hadn't felt in years; Hell, he never really felt anything like it ever. This feeling, it wasn't something he disliked.

"Oh really? Why don't you come inside and you can tell me?" Ayako, who was followed by Aizen, walked into her small apartment. "Are you hungry? I can whip you something up," she called out to Aizen while walking into the kitchen.

"No, but thank you." Aizen looked around the small apartment, having been in it several times. There was nothing new; the apartment held a small living room with a kitchen off to the side while the bedroom and bathroom sat at the end of the hall. Ayako nodded and went to sit down at the small table that was big enough for two people. Aizen stood several feet from her. As he stood quiet, he tried to figure out how he should tell the young female in front of him how he felt. "Ayako, have… Have you ever thought of a future with…somebody?"

Ayako tilted her head in confusion until her eyes widen as the meaning of the question set in. Blush appeared on her face as she turned away. "…Y-Yes, I have," she confessed.

"I see…" Aizen tried to think about what to say next as the awkwardness set into the atmosphere. The two remained quiet until Aizen and Ayako spoke at the same time.

"I l-" Aizen had began.

"I love you!" Ayako had yelled, confessing her love first. Aizen stood, seemingly surprised but something inside him somehow knew that she felt feelings towards him as well. "Sōsuke, I-I'm sorry. I understand if we can't be together b-but I couldn't help-Mmm!" Much to her surprise, Aizen had strode over to where she sat and kissed her. He pulled back with a smirk proudly on his face. Ayako blushed redder than a strawberry because of the sudden action. "W-What?"

"You just made my quest a little bit easier." Aizen smiled sincerely at Ayako. His smiles were always real when he was around her. "It doesn't matter if our relationship is forbidden. To me." He pulled Ayako into his arms, removing her from her seat. "You are the most important being."

Ayako put her arms around Aizen and smiled. "Same," she whispered...

~Other Amazing Time Skip~

A year passed in the World of the Living. Ayako was going about her daily business when she suddenly felt faint. Her mother, who stood nearby, immediately grew worried. "Ayako, sweetie, are you okay?" Ayako nodded and tried to reassure her mother but suddenly, bile began to rise up in her throat and the young female made her way over to the nearest trash can. Ayako's mother looked at her daughter. "Honey, could you be-?" Her mother was well aware of the relationship Ayako had with Aizen. Although she herself could not see Soul Reapers, she believed they existed and did not find her daughter crazy when her daughter informed her that she was dating one.

"There's… There's no way," Ayako whispered, panting lightly after she had finished releasing her vomit. Was it even possible for her to be pregnant? Her boyfriend was dead but not dead in a sense. If she really was pregnant, would their child be born half dead, all dead, or not dead at all? She wasn't sure how that would work out. Maybe the baby would be completely human but have abilities similar to Aizen's...

"You may want to check. Just to be sure," her mother suggested. Ayako nodded.

That night, Ayako paced back and forth in her small living room. When the timer rang, she made her way into the bathroom. On the sink, a pregnancy test laid and as Ayako lifted it to take a look, she saw two lines in the small window of it. She dropped the test into the sink as the feeling began to sink in. "I-I'm preg..." She was going to be a mother.

"Ayako!" The young female heard her boyfriend call out to her. Trying to hide the test, she looked up towards the doorway to see Sōsuke Aizen standing there and staring at her. "Is something w-" He grew quiet when he saw what laid in her hands; she had gripped onto the pregnancy test in her attempt to hide it. "I thought I felt something," he remarked after a moment of awkward silence.

"What do you mean?" Ayako asked, staring at the man she loved.

"There was a different spiritual pressure mixed with yours. I wasn't sure what it meant. Until now." Aizen stared at the test. He wasn't naive to the objects of the World of the Living like some Soul Reapers.

"What are we going to do, Sōsuke?" Ayaka asked. She was worried. She wasn't sure what to do. She hoped that the outcome would be positive, that their child would be mostly normal, that their child wouldn't be born deceased.

Aizen simply smiled. "This just made things a bit easier." He moved closer to her, moving until the two of them were practically touching. "Ayako?"

Ayako continued to stare at him. "Yes?"

"Will you marry me?"

~Final Time Skip~

Six years later, Aizen stood with two little girls running around him. His wife was smiling at him as she placed their dinner on the table. "Sayuri, Yuki. Time for dinner," his wife called out. The girls giggled as they climbed into the chairs at the table; one of the two children had really short snow-white hair and chocolate brown eyes, the other with long light-sandy blonde hair and dark hazel eyes. "Sōsuke?" Ayako looked up at Aizen, almost as if asking if he was going to stay a while longer. With a small nod, Aizen took his place at the table.

The young family smiled and laughed as they enjoyed their sweet, precious time together. After dinner, they played around until late into the evening. Soon, the children began to fall asleep. Unknowingly, Aizen smiled genuinely as he looked upon them. Ayako came over and picked up Sayuri whom laid a little ways from Yuki, still half-awake. Aizen picked up Yuki whom laid asleep on the floor next to him. "Thank you, Ayako," Aizen suddenly commented. When Ayako, confused, looked at her husband, he began to explain. "For giving me this. A family, something I never thought I would have." He wasn't the kind of person who'd have a family but in the end, he had gotten one. He loved them all and they were a nice distraction for him.

Ayako chuckled a little before smiling. "The same goes to you, Sōsuke." She let out a low, long sigh. "I guess you must go now," she said, a hint of sadness lacing her voice. She knew he had to return to his duties as a Soul Reaper. She was surprised that they had kept their relationship and marriage a secret for this long, praying that it would never be found out. She didn't want anything bad to happen to Aizen if their secret was learnt by the Soul Society.

Aizen nodded as he walked to the girls' bedroom of their apartment with his wife. "Yes, my dear." The two laid Sayuri and Yuki into their beds. Ayako smiled and crossed her arms as she watched Aizen kiss their daughters on their head. He turned towards his wife afterwards. "I promise to return soon," he told her. Ayako nodded. "Be safe." Aizen laid a kiss upon her lips before disappearing into the night.

Not too far away from his home, Aizen was about to open a senkaimon when a sudden loud roar caught his attention. Looking back, Aizen caught sight of a massive hollow that he hadn't sensed until that very moment. "No!" He rushed back to his home in which he had recently left. The hollow quickly disappeared just as fast as it had appeared, leaving nothing but damage in its wake. Aizen stood amongst a crumbled apartment building when he finally reached his destination. Bodies littered the rubble and blood was splattered everywhere, but that didn't matter to him. The captain was frantically searching for his family. He couldn't feel their spiritual pressure or see any signs of them. "Ayako! Sayuri! Yuki!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. He searched for what seemed like hours but nothing came up. Aizen felt helpless for the first time; the ones he loved were just ripped from him in a single moment, the only people he cared about were gone just like that. "Damn it!" he yelled as tears fell down his face, perhaps for the first time ever. "Why?" he whispered angrily. Was this his karma for doing all of those horrid things in the past...? Did he not deserve a family to love because of it...?

Time paced forward as Aizen remained unmoved in the debris of the apartment building. Suddenly, a small movement caught his attention. A small female child with light-sandy blonde hair traveling down her waist appeared within the rubble. Her dark hazel eyes stared up at Aizen as she sat up from the rubble that had buried her. "Daddy?" she softly called out. A broken gray chain was on her chest, indicating that she had died and her death had most likely been caused by being crushed.

Aizen looked surprised as he stared at his daughter. "Sayuri?" Walking over to her, he picked her up. "Sayuri!" He hugged her tightly to his chest and joy slowly began to fill his heart; not all of his loved ones were taken from him. "Do you know what happened to your mother and Yuki?" he asked as he stopped hugging her but continued to hold her in his arms. He needed some hope that maybe the two of them were also still around, that maybe he could find them too.

Sayuri only shook her head. "No, Sir…" Tears welled in her eyes. She remembered the walls caving in around her and her twin sister as she tried to fall asleep before she saw nothing but darkness. She recalled suddenly seeing a bright light and she had gotten out of the debris that had killed her. She was confused and upset over the situation, but mostly confused. She didn't understand what had happened and she'd only be able to understand it once she was older.

Aizen's smile disappeared as reality sunk back in. He only had Sayuri left in his life now. "I see." He thought for a moment. "Sayuri, you're going to come with Daddy, okay?" She had to go to the Soul Society regardless because of her being dead. Her death was both a blessing and a curse; it was sad that it had occurred but now, she could be with her father more often than not.

"Really?" Sayuri stared at her father with wide eyes. He wasn't always around when he wanted to be because of his duties, but now, he didn't need to worry about that anymore.

Aizen nodded, dry tears on his cheeks. "Yes, you'll be safer there and you might even be able to become like Daddy."

"Yay!" Sayuri smiled, her confusion long gone as well as her being upset. "Let's go, Daddy!" The six-year-old was happy once again, what had happened earlier gone from her mind for now. Aizen gave the young child a sad smile. With a quick look at the debris, Aizen left to return the Soul Society and for the first time, he never wanted to return to the World of the Living...

Moments after Aizen had left with his young daughter, there was more movement coming from the debris. Another small female child, one with snow-white hair and chocolate brown eyes, pushed some wood off of herself that shockingly wasn't heavy for her to remove; Yuki, Aizen's other daughter, was still alive somehow, for luck was surprisingly on her side. "...M-Mommy? S-Sayu...?" Yuki looked around, seeing all of the debris. Many tears began to flow down her scraped cheeks as fear set in; she was a young girl, alone in the remains of her home. She winced as she slowly began to stand, her legs and arms injured. "Mommy?! Sayu?!" she yelled as she started to walk around, searching the debris for her mother and sister. She ended up tripping over one of the remains of the other inhabitants of the apartment building. She lifted herself up and dead ahead of her laid her mother, a large piece of debris over her body. Her face was turned towards Yuki and her eyes were open, lifeless. There were deep cuts all over her face and blood was dripping from her extended arm that was not buried under the rubble atop her.

"Mommy!" Yuki got up quickly, ignoring the pain in her legs and arms, and she ran towards her mother. She tried her hardest to push the rubble off of her mother but she was not strong enough to do so, the rubble to heavy for her to lift. "Mommy..." She sobbed as she stopped trying and shook her mother's extended, bloody arm instead. "Wake up, Mommy! Mommy!" Ayako's eyes remained lifeless for she was deceased, no longer a part of that world. Yuki dropped her hand from her mother's arm, sobbing more and dropping down beside her.

"Are you alright?" Yuki turned around quickly to see a light-skinned man with a chin stubble standing there. He was wearing a dark coat, which displayed a white diamond pattern along its bottom half, with a dark green shirt and pants underneath, along with traditional Japanese wooden sandals. A striped dark green and white bucket hat laid upon his head that shadowed over his gray eyes, covering some of his light, almost pale, blonde messy hair. Yuki hesitated before nodding slightly. The man, named Kisuke Urahara, crouched down before her, looking around at all of the debris and corpses before looking back at her. "So, you're the only one left, huh?"

"...Y-Yes...?" Yuki answered uncertainly as she sniffled and wiped her tears, looking away from Urahara. Just like Sayuri, she was confused and she was upset but she was equally both unlike her deceased sister. She seemed to have a better understanding about death than Sayuri, even though the two of them were six-year-old twins.

Urahara seemed to be deep in thought before he placed his hand on her head gently. "It's not safe here. Would you like to come with me? I'll keep you out of harm's way." He wasn't about to leave the child alone. He wasn't cruel and he could tell that there was something very special about the little girl. He was unaware of whom her father was, a man whom he personally knew to be corrupted and he would remain unaware for some time.

Yuki looked up at him, her brown eyes wide. She nodded, trusting the stranger. She wanted to be somewhere safe, somewhere she wouldn't be harmed like this again. Urahara helped her up and lead her away from the debris, leading her down the path to a new, better life...

Kyoya Mae, a fair-skinned young human male with messy coal-black hair and light hazel eyes, never wanted to be able to see spirits or the Soul Reapers that showed up to kill monsters (which he later had learnt were called Hollows) that randomly appeared every once in a while. For such a very hot-headed young man who was often rude to those he hardly knew, all he really wanted was to be normal like everyone else. He never thought that he'd grow to like his gift. That was until the day he met someone who changed his life forever…

Kyoya had been eighteen when he met Kasai Shizuka, a lovely Soul Reaper with bright fire-red hair and deep reddish dark sky-blue eyes. He witnessed her getting rid of a Hollow and wasn't expecting her to notice him watching her; all the other Reapers never noticed so why would she? He acted rudely towards her, but she did not act the same way towards him; instead, she was kind and she just smiled whenever he said something harsh as she didn't seem to be fazed by his behavior. That day was not the last time he saw her, he had ended up seeing her coming back to Karakura Town often to rid it of any wandering Hollows.

As time went by, Kyoya slowly warmed up to Kasai and was nicer towards her. He eventually began to grow strong feelings for her. Suddenly, she just never returned to Karakura Town. Kyoya was worried and as time passed by, he began to believe that she was either never coming back or she was gone forever…

It was late at night and the moon was shining brightly. Kyoya was in his house, laying on his bed within his bedroom. He was twenty-five years old; he hadn't seen Kasai since he was nineteen (they knew each other for about a year before she never came back), but he never forgot about her nor did he ever stop thinking of her. He stared at the ceiling, wondering what had happened to Kasai. Kyoya was pulled out of his thoughts when the light of the moon was suddenly gone. He looked at his window and saw Kasai standing in front of it. "Kasai?" he asked, unsure if he was just dreaming or if she was really there in front of him. He turned on the lamp that was on the small dresser to his left.

"Hey," she said softly, sending him a close-eyed smile. "I'm sorry for being gone for so long. I'm glad you never forgot about me. You must have been thinking of me often." She was hoping that she was correct because she had missed him terribly herself; she hoped he had missed her, too.

Kyoya sat up in his bed and crossed his arms, faint blush forming in his cheeks. "Pfft, hardly. I just remembered your name and that's it." He was only being stubborn, not wanting her to know that he had indeed thought about her often. He really had missed her. He was happy to know that she was alright.

Kasai opened her eyes and shook her head, her smile never fading. "You haven't changed at all." She knew that he had missed her, he just didn't want to admit it aloud. "I only came to see you one last time. I wanted to see how you were and to tell you I'm sorry for never coming back."

Kyoya looked at her, curious. "Why did you leave without saying anything?"

Kasai blushed faintly and looked at her feet. "Well... Uh... I...thought that it would help me keep from…" He was making her feel like there were butterflies in her stomach; she was really nervous and this feeling was extremely new to her. Her feelings of love for him were still new to her as well. She had never been interested in the concept of love before she met Kyoya, therefore she hadn't thought about what it would be like to love someone. All of these new feelings, feelings that she had felt for a while and feelings that she only just recently began to feel, were just so strange to her but she didn't dislike them.

Kyoya got off of his bed and strode over to her. "Help you keep from what?" he asked her. When she didn't answer, he placed his right hand under her chin and gently made her look up at him. They looked into each other's eyes and they slowly leaned towards one another, quickly getting into the moment without even realizing it. Their lips connected for the first time and remained so most of the night, the two of them showing each other how they felt that long, passionate night…

Because of the passion that had been showed between the newly made couple that one night, Kasai had became pregnant with their first and only daughter. The Soul Society grew knowledge of her pregnancy some time after her return, but none knew whom the father of the child was. Kasai eventually gave birth to Hanako Shizuka Mae at Kyoya's home, the human man having not known of Kasai's pregnancy until she came to him in labor. When the Soul Society quickly learnt that Kasai's lover was human shortly after Hanako's birth, she was not allowed to return to the Soul Society. However, she continued to do her duties as a Soul Reaper while raising Hanako with Kyoya.

Nearly ten years had gone by since then. Little nine-year-old Hanako Shizuka Mae had her mother's lovely long bright fire-red hair, her father's light hazel eyes (although, her eyes were a bit lighter than his), and parts of both of her parents' personality, including a few of her own personality traits. She was at a park with her parents and it was getting late. Hardly anyone was at the park at that time of the day so they were getting ready to head home.

"Hana, sweetheart. It's time for us to head home," Kasai said, getting up from a bench she had been sitting on. She was using a Gigai, or artificial body, and had been using it for nearly ten years since she was not allowed to return to the Soul Society. She wanted to live like a human but continue dealing with Hollows like a Soul Reaper. She wanted to keep her new family safe from harm.

"Aww, do we have to?" Hanako asked her mother, pouting and looking sad. She didn't want to leave. She was having so much fun. She loved all the times she spent with her parents. There had never been a dull moment with them. She loved them very much.

Kyoya took one look at his daughter before looking at Kasai. "A few more minutes couldn't hurt." He was always siding with Hanako. She was Daddy's little girl, after all. His only little girl.

Kasai gave him a look, not amused. She wasn't about to let them have their way this time around. "Kyoya, it's getting late and I don't want to risk anything bad happening." She crouched down in front of Hanako. "We'll come back tomorrow, okay?" Perhaps saying this to her would keep her from getting upset, but she'd have to keep her promise or otherwise, Hanako would end up upset regardless.

Hanako stared at her cutey. "Promise?" she quietly asked her mother.

Kasai smiled and nodded. "I promise." She kissed her daughter's head. "Now, let's get going." Hanako nodded shortly. Before the family of three could start heading home, they heard the roar of a Hollow. Kasai's smile vanished and she lightly, but hurriedly, pushed Hanako towards Kyoya. "Damn it. I was afraid of this," she cursed lowly. This wasn't the best time for her to deal with a Hollow, not with her family around.

"W-What was that?" Hanako asked, never having seen a Hollow or heard a Hollow before. She had, however, heard of them from her parents so she was not completely oblivious to Soul Reaper duties.

"Kasai," Kyoya stated, seriously. He was holding Hanako close to him, holding her protectively. Protecting his daughter was his first, and only, priority at the very moment.

"Get out of here as fast as you can," Kasai instructed. She pulled out a soul candy and popped it into her mouth, jumping out of her Gigai. She pulled out her zanpakuto and looked around; the Hollow was near them, she could sense it but she had no clue where exactly it was. Before she had a chance to pinpoint exactly where the Hollow was, blood splattered. Kasai gasped and turned to see her husband laying on their daughter, covered in blood and deceased; the Hollow was faster than what she had been expecting and it cost her lover's life. "No!" she yelled. She hadn't expected this Hollow to be a bit abnormal.

The Hollow paid no mind to the little girl underneath her deceased father. Kasai attacked it, aiming to get rid of it before it could do anymore damage. However, the Hollow was much more stronger than she and she was killed instantly like her husband, her body dropping down to the ground. The Hollow suddenly disappeared, never to be seen again and its reason for its rare appearances were unknown to all whom had seen or sensed it.

Little Hanako was trying to get out from underneath her father, crying silently as she did, knowing fully well that she had lost both of her parents. She wasn't naive at all about death, her parents having explained it to her over the years until she fully understood; her parents knew that death could happen to them at any moment because of the dangers with Kasai being a Soul Reaper and they were willing to make their young child learn of death far too early because of it. She managed to pull herself out from under him instead, having been unable to push him off. She didn't bother trying to shake her father awake nor her mother whom laid on the ground a little ways from her and her father's corpse; she wouldn't be able to wake the dead.

"All my fault... All my fault..." Hanako mumbled to herself repeatedly as she cried, covered in her deceased father's blood. She sat in a fetal position beside him, her arms wrapped around her legs and her head laying against her knees. If she hadn't complained about staying, they would've been on their way home sooner. Her parents would've been alive still if it weren't for her.

"Ura! Ura, over here!" someone yelled. Hanako sniffled and looked around. She spotted a young girl with white hair running towards her, a man with a weird hat walking behind her and he was managing to keep up with the running girl; they were Urahara and Yuki. Yuki dropped to her knees in front of Hana and wrapped her arms around her, giving her a hug. Hanako sniffled again and blinked in confusion, her eyes on the strange girl hugging her. "This happened to me before, too..." Yuki explained to her in an instant. She had lost her own family, too, in the past.

"...You lost someone like this...?" Hanako asked her. She was surprised that someone else around her age knew of Hollows and Soul Reapers, even though she knew that neither of them were truly meant to know of such things so soon in their life. She hesitated to hug her back; she didn't know the girl and it was odd of her to be randomly hugging Hanako, telling her such a thing that no one would say to a complete stranger.

"Yeah. My mama and my sissy," Yuki stated matter-of-factly. She hadn't hesitated to answer Hanako's question. The two of them were similar to each other and she wanted the poor orphaned girl to know that she wasn't the only one to lose family in such a horrible way. Despite the ways she spoke, she was a bit more mature for her age than she once had been but that was thanks to the loss of her family; she had to learn more things that no kid needed to know about so early. Hanako no longer hesitated to hug her. She wrapped her arms around Yuki tightly and cried in her shoulder. Yuki looked at the corpses of Kasai and Kyoya. "Ura...?"

Urahara was standing beside Kasai's dead body. His fists appeared to be clenched at his sides. "I knew her. We were good friends." He looked at Yuki and Hanako, a frown on his face. He was quite saddened by Kasai's death. "Yes, Yuki?" he asked.

"Can she stay with us?" Yuki questioned. Urahara's shop had become her home the night Urahara took her in. Maybe it could be Hanako's home, too. Maybe she and Hanako could become friends. Maybe they could train to be Soul Reapers together. She knew that Hanako was like her because of the attire that the deceased woman had and because she could feel great power deep within Hanako; she knew that Hanako was both a Human and a Soul Reaper like herself.

Urahara didn't hesitate to answer little Yuki. "I don't see why not." Yuki pulled out of her hug with Hanako and stood up. She helped Hanako stand up, too, and the three of them left, Urahara later having his friend, and co-worker, Tessai take the bodies somewhere else for a private and proper burial...

This will have differences than what has been seen in the anime and manga. It can't be exactly like it, you know, because you'll probably get bored of it easily (though, my other fanfictions have followed anime almost exactly and people have liked/loved/hated them so I guess it doesn't bore some of ya'll amazing peoplez). This series will consist of about 8 to 9 different fanfics (or books). They will follow the seasons and some seasons will be combined into one book. There will even be one completely original story for this series with original ideas and more original characters.

Yes, my friend and I had made Aizen very out of character. We believed that he deserved a family, at least. We believed that there needed to be, at least, someone that he actually cared for. We wanted to give him a better reason for him doing what he is doing; we wanted him to have more purpose. Don't like it, then I'm sorry. We were going about this our way. Hate all you wish. :) Also, Yuki is a year older than Hana. So when Urahara and Yuki got to Hanako, Yuki was ten (almost eleven). The forbidden love thing is something that we just decided to add to make things interesting and to show how the main original characters were created.

I can admit that Brittany's OC Ayako is a bit of a Mary Sue but hey, shit fuckin' happens. Don't let one character that is more flawed than the rest cause you to no longer read this fanfiction. Don't let your dislike of certain things make you give up on this fanfiction. This is only the Prologue. Judge the story after, at least, reading Chapter One because that means you gave this fanfiction a fair chance at gaining your attention.

The first scene was mostly made by Brittany, aka Taiga, and it was edited by me. The second scene was made and edited by me. As of 3/20/2017, Brittany/Taiga is no longer a co-author for this story due to some...issues and her helping me with this ended at Chapter Five. She had vanished but reappeared. She no longer wishes to continue this because the ending of Bleach left a bad taste in her mouth. To me, it shouldn't matter. Regardless of how much you love something, it isn't a priority. It isn't going to end your life's meaning if an anime or manga ends the way you hadn't wanted it to. It isn't real so you shouldn't worry about that shit so much.

A Cast For The Main Original Characters: Caitlin Glass as Hanako Shizuka Mae, Maxey Whitehead as Yuki Araya Hirai, and Kari Wahlgren as Sayuri Hirai.

Please leave a comment and favorite the story if you haven't already. Updates will be slow after this month (April) is up, but please, do be patient with me because I have other things to do during the day and I work on certain fanfictions at night. By the way, if and when you leave a comment, please explain everything you are thinking. Don't leave a short message like "This is stupid and confusing. They are all Mary Sues. Yuck. Fuck this shit. I hate you." Explain yourself so that I am not confused and so that I can respond in a better manner. Guest reviewers will be responded to via beginning author's notes for a new chapter.

I DO NOT OWN BLEACH BUT I OWN MY OWN CHARACTERS (HANAKO, KASAI, KYOYA, AND YUKI) AND IDEAS. BRITTANY (WHOM NO LONGER WORKS ON THIS FANFICTION WITH ME AS OF 3/20/17 LIKE I STATED SOMEWHERE ABOVE) DOES NOT OWN BLEACH BUT SHE OWNS HER OWN CHARACTERS (AYAKO AND SAYURI) AND HER IDEAS THAT HAD BEEN USED DURING OUR ROLEPLAY VERSION OF THIS FANFICTION.

The cover was created by me using the three pictures of what Brittany and I had for our original characters (what we wish for our characters to look like, Yuki being one that I created on an website on my own). I hope you all have a great day! I apologize for this long ass ending author's note! XD
