Here it is guys! The first chapter of:

Bleach: To Be Left Behind

I hope you thoroughly enjoy it! I will be posting weekly! I will try to keep them longish! This is an UraharaxOC fan fiction piece! It does have other hints to potential romances, but mainly this one!

I only own my character Risa Inari and the bad guys I make up. I do not own any Bleach characters, they belong to Tite Kubo. Though if he wanted to share, I really wouldn't mind. Haha!

Please enjoy and review. It is rated M for mature themes such as violence and yes…love scenes!

"Promise me that you will never leave," she whispered to him as they lied in his bed together.

"I don't really see a reason to make such promises as I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. I am very happy right where I am," he shot back, looking down at her and smiling some.

Risa gave him a grin and rested her head in the crook of his arm comfortably.

"Well good," she said becoming tired.

"Why do you ask?" he asked curiously.

Risa moved her body even closer to his. He unconsciously held her tighter to him, enjoying the warmth her bare body gave off.

"Because you've become incredibly necessary to me," she whispered before closing her eyes and drifting to sleep, as his hand ran through her hair lovingly.

Kisuke Urahara's eyes snapped open, his eyes wide and his breathing heavy. He sat up slowly and rubbed his head, quickly regaining his composure.

It's been a long time since I've had one of those dreams… he thought wiping the sleep from his eyes.

His door slid open revealing Tessai kneeling behind it.

"Kisuke, I heard a noise in here. Did you sleep well? Is everything alright? You look a little pale! Do you need me to get my cold remedy?!" he asked quickly.

Urahara's eyes widened and he shook his head rapidly and waved his arms.

"No! I don't want any of your cold remedies! The last one you gave me was expired! I'm fine!" he protested and Tessai nodded.

"The group is ready to go. They're waiting for you," he said and slid the door closed.

Urahara stood up and planted his hat on his head. He glanced at the picture frame on his dresser. It showed him and a woman playfully grinning into the camera. The woman hung on his back while he held her legs around his waist. She had dark brown hair that fell a little past her shoulders and long bangs that fell in her face messily. Her green eyes were big and bright with laughter. He lowered his hat to cover his eyes and exited the room.

The group waited in his underground training room. He walked up to them and explained what they had to do in order to accomplish their mission, which was to rescue Rukia Kuchiki from execution. After explaining, he cleared his throat.

"Before you go…there is something I would like to advise you," he said, in thought.

He wondered if he should even bring it up. His best friend, the black cat Yoruichi stared at him curiously. Urahara fixed his hat again so that it covered his eyes from sight.

"When you enter the Soul Society, it will only be a matter of time before the Captains and their Lieutenants sense your presence. They're not going to hesitate to kill you on sight. Knowing all of this, I do wish to caution you on a particular Soul Reaper," he said calmly.

Yoruichi's eyes widened some. It had been awhile since he had spoken about her.

"Her name is Risa Inari. I don't know what rank she holds presently, but back when I knew her, she was a Lieutenant in the Twelfth Division. By far the strongest of the Lieutenants then, she was unmatched. If you cross paths with her, find a different path," he said bluntly.

All eyes widened.

"You talk about her so highly. Do you think she could be a Captain now?" said Uryu.

Urahara shrugged.

"It's possible. Unfortunately, I can't say for sure. But please let me know if you find out…you know…if you make it out alive," he grinned, opening his fan and hiding behind it, masking his true emotions.

Everyone sweat dropped. Urahara held out a small bottle with a clear liquid inside.

"Here, put these drops in your eyes. They're liquid camera lens, an invention of mine still in progress, but we'll use them anyway. Once activated, I can communicate with you and see what you see from the shop. This way I can help out if things get too bad," he said handing one to each of them.

"I guess this is good bye for now. Good luck," he said backing up.

He opened the portal and the group jumped through. Tessai walked up to Urahara.

"It has been a while since I have heard you speak about her Kisuke," he said and Urahara looked at him.

"It was good to hear her name again," he added and Urahara smiled slightly and nodded.

In the Soul Society…Some Days Later…

Ichigo had been running on fumes for days. He didn't know where to go next. He was thankful though that on the way he ran into Yoruichi, who revealed herself to be female even though she could become a black cat with a man's voice.

"It's only a little further Ichigo! Hurry up!" she yelled behind her.

Ichigo took in a deep breath and rolled his eyes. Yoruichi didn't fight Ikkaku, Renji, Kenpachi, and Byakuya Kuchiki on several occasions, as well as some others. Suddenly Yoruichi stopped. She blinked several times and listened.

"Can you hear me now?" Urahara yelled in her ear.

Yoruichi flinched and cursed under her breath.

"Yeah! Your invention seems to have some audio delays! Have you been seeing everything I see?" she asked irritated.

"I have. The audio is a little delayed, but it's not the finished product," he grinned.

Then his voice became tense, a rare occurrence for the usually laid back shopkeeper.

"Ichigo, your left!" he yelled.

Ichigo blinked a couple of times waiting for the audio to catch up and then turned to his left as instructed. He gasped as a hand shot out and gripped his throat roughly, slamming him into a large wall and holding him there. The wall cracked around him and he coughed up blood. He opened his eyes slowly to see his attacker.

It was a woman in the Lieutenant Shihakusho. Her bangs hung messily off to one side covering her left eye. Her green eyes bore into his brown ones. Urahara's eyes widened behind his fan as her face filled the screen he was watching. He kept his hat low shading his eyes from Tessai, who was also watching.

"So you're the one everyone's been talking about…" she trailed off, pulling out her Zanpakuto from the sheath on her lower back.

"I will be quick," she said as she swung her sword at his head while still holding him against the wall.

Another hand shot out and grabbed her wrist. Risa's eyes widened.

"Wha—" she gasped in surprise.

"—Risa stop!" Yoruichi pleaded.

Risa pulled away and jumped back, releasing Ichigo's neck in the process. Ichigo sputtered and coughed for air as Yoruichi helped him to his feet.

"R-Risa?" Ichigo stuttered.

Risa eyed the orange haired boy quietly while also looking to Yoruichi every once and a while.

"Risa Inari?" Ichigo said clearer.

Risa furrowed her eyebrows.

"I'm sorry. You know my name, but I do not know yours," she said trying to keep her calm.

"Ichigo…Ichigo Kurosaki," he said firmly.

Risa's eyes widened slightly.

"Kurosaki?" she questioned and he nodded.

He rubbed his throat.

"Just my luck. Mr. Hat and Clogs said if we ran into you while saving Rukia, to run the other way. As it turns out, you ran into me and I didn't even sense you coming," he said chuckling.

Yoruichi had turned to tell Ichigo to stop speaking, but it was too late.

"Mr. Hat and Clogs?" Risa questioned unsurely.

Then her eyes widened as shock covered her features.

Flashback…

"What are those?" Risa asked, already about to laugh.

"They're clogs," Urahara said grinning.

"Please take them off. Why are you wearing those?" she asked chuckling.

Urahara frowned.

"You don't like them?" he asked feigning hurt.

Risa laughed and grabbed a hat off one of the store's hooks. It was a green and white striped hat.

"Oh I love them! You should get this hat too!" she giggled, fitting the hat on his head.

Urahara looked in the store window and grinned.

"I like it!" he agreed and Risa shook her head.

"I'll buy the hat too!" he said and Risa sweat dropped.

"I was joking! No one is going to take you seriously in the clogs! Now you're buying that hat?" she laughed.

Urahara smirked at her.

"Are you embarrassed?" he asked watching her laugh some more.

She stepped back and looked him up and down.

"Hiyori's going to have a field day with you. I can live with the hat, but the clogs…those are going to take getting used to!" she chuckled as they began walking again.

"They will grow on you," he said grinning.

Risa smiled.

"I'll take your word for it," she said as they walked off down the street.

End Flashback.

"K-Kisuke? Are you talking about K-Kisuke Urahara?" she questioned unsteadily.

Ichigo nodded before Yoruichi could stop him. Urahara felt his heart pounding in his chest, but he controlled his face because he knew Tessai was watching him like a hawk now. Even the way she said his name still had such an effect on him.

"Yeah. He was the one that got me and my—"

Yoruichi knocked him on the head.

"Ouch! What was that for?!" he complained.

"Don't say anymore," Yoruichi scolded.

Risa tried to process all of the information she just heard. Ichigo grabbed his Zanpakuto. Yoruichi grabbed his arm.

"Don't," she whispered.

Risa finally shook off her daze and was about to speak when her head shot up and she turned her back to them. Yoruichi grabbed Ichigo and pulled him into the bushes nearby.

"Do not make a sound," she said to him as they hid.

"Don't make any movements either. And keep your spiritual pressure down," Urahara said slowly.

Ichigo had almost forgotten that Urahara could see and hear everything they could, as well as communicate with them. They watched as several men came out of the forest on the other end and ran to her.

"Lieutenant! Lieutenant Inari!" a blonde man called reaching her first.

"Yes Izuru, what is it?" she asked slightly dazed.

His eyes were wide.

"Are you alright?! Word got back to us that you had located the intruders!" he said, one hand on his Zanpakuto.

Risa stared at Izuru for a moment. She was suddenly conflicted. She knew the two were hiding in the bushes.

"I did…encounter one intruder. He had orange hair. He got away," she lied hesitantly.

Yoruichi and Ichigo stared on in stunned silence. She was covering for them.

"He got away Lieutenant? How?" Izuru asked surprised.

Risa chuckled at her third seat.

"I'm not invincible Izuru. He was a quick one. I injured him, but he gave me the slip. Don't tell anyone though," she grinned, scratching her head.

Izuru grinned back. He liked his Lieutenant a lot more than his Captain, who he didn't trust at times. But the Lieutenant did and that was good enough for him. He became serious then.

"The Captain wishes to speak with you. That's why I'm here. He's on his way," he said nervously.

Risa nodded and smiled.

"How did his meeting go?" she asked and Izuru shook his head.

"He didn't say much," he replied and she nodded as her Captain came out of the forest.

Yoruichi's eyes widened as well as Urahara's. Ichigo recognized the young man. Risa smiled at her Captain as he stopped before her.

"Hello Captain, I trust the meeting went well?" she asked.

Her Captain almost grinned wider if he could.

"As well as can be expected when you're the least trusted Captain in all the divisions," he chuckled in his soft, smooth voice.

Risa's eyes became soft.

"That is untrue Captain Ichimaru," she whispered shaking her head.

Gin Ichimaru chuckled again.

"I don't understand how you came to be so loyal to me," he teased her.

Risa grinned.

"Well I will remind you any time you wish. For now though, let's head back," she said, but Gin didn't move.

"I heard you encountered the orange haired boy," he said and Risa nodded.

"Yes Captain."

"And he was not slain? What happened?" he asked with that grin still on his face.

"He was quick in his movements and I wasn't expecting a human to possess such speed. It threw me off and he escaped," she lied.

She hated lying to him. Gin nodded and turned to leave motioning for her to follow him.

"You're a terrible liar Risa, always have been. But I will let your reasons be secret if you do not wish to tell me what truly happened," he said off handedly.

Risa froze. He saw right through her.

"Captain…" she said and he stopped to turn to her.

"Yes?" he asked smiling.

"I believe he wishes to save Rukia Kuchiki. I didn't let him slip by, I let him go. Because I feel like she's being punished wrongly," she admitted and Yoruichi covered her mouth.

"What is she doing?" Urahara said in their ears.

Yoruichi could hear the apprehension in his voice. Gin thought about it for a moment.

"Well I trust your judgment. You do know a thing or two about being wrongly punished," he said, the smile returning to his face.

Risa smiled slightly and shrugged.

"Come now Lieutenant. I'm starving. Let's go—" he stopped as a scream sliced through the air.

Risa's eyes widened as well as Izuru's.

"That's Momo's scream!" Izuru yelled.

Risa looked to her Captain, who nodded.

"Let's go see," he said and they all took off.

Yoruichi and Ichigo came out of the bushes.

"We should follow them!" Ichigo yelled.

"No we should keep moving!" Yoruichi countered.

"That could be one of our friends that need our help!" he tried.

Yoruichi bit her lip and hesitated before speaking.

"Fine, let's go!" she said and they followed Division 3 towards the screams.

They followed the Division right up to where Rukia was being held on a small bridge leading to the tower. They stood hidden and watched. Yoruichi's eyes bulged.

"That's Aizen!" she whispered shocked.

The Captain was stabbed with his own sword through the stomach and pinned against the wall of the tower where Rukia was being held. Risa's eyes widened.

"Ouch, poor Captain Aizen. What a tragedy," Gin said with the smile present on his face.

Momo turned to him with rage in her eyes.

"You did this!" she roared and charged.

Risa gasped.

"Lieutenant Hinamori stop!" she tried and as Momo swung, her Zanpakuto hit Risa's fiercely.

"How dare you raise your weapon to my Captain?" Risa seethed.

Ichigo looked at Yoruichi, but she was looking at the two Lieutenants.

"This could get bad," she whispered.

Ichigo stared at her. He had never seen the cat so worried. Who was this Risa Inari to her? He also hadn't heard Urahara say something in a while. Did she mean something to him as well? Risa kicked out her foot, sending Momo sliding back some. She stood in front of Gin and watched as Momo called her Zanpakuto's name.

"Snap, Tobiume!"

Risa's eyes widened.

"Don't do this!" she tried preparing to attack.

"Momo stop please!" Izuru pleaded with her.

Gin just stood quiet and kept that smile on his face. Momo raged.

"He killed Captain Aizen!" she roared.

"Stop making such foolish accusations!" Risa shot back.

Momo charged anyway. Risa groaned and readied herself. Both Lieutenants went to swing when they were stopped by a Captain. Momo's eyes widened as did Risa's.

"Captain Hitsugaya," Risa said pulling back quickly and backing away.

Toshiro Hitsugaya looked at both Lieutenants.

"Arrest them," he said, and finally Gin stepped forward.

"Oh no, no Captain Hitsugaya. If you will look, my Lieutenant never released her Zanpakuto. You would not arrest her for any reason, would you? That would be…unfair," he said grinning.

Hitsugaya glared at Gin as Momo was taken off to jail. Izuru looked uncomfortable and Risa turned to him.

"Go check on her," she ordered softly.

Izuru nodded and took off, leaving Risa with Gin and Hitsugaya.

"If I didn't know better, I'd say you were going to kill Momo, Captain Ichimaru," Hitsugaya whispered dangerously.

Gin smiled.

"She was attacking my Lieutenant. Surely, you would protect your Lieutenant when she is in need, wouldn't you?" he asked mockingly.

"If you go after her…I'll kill you," Hitsugaya said menacingly.

Gin grinned.

"Let's just hope she doesn't put herself in harm's way again Captain Hitsugaya. I don't think I or my Lieutenant would be so lenient with her next time," he said threateningly.

He then turned and walked off. Risa stood behind and looked up at Aizen's body.

"Will you help me take the body down?" she asked Hitsugaya, who looked at her.

He nodded slowly, his eyes softening. Once the body was down and covered he turned to her.

"I don't think I'll ever understand your loyalties to that snake," he said calmly.

Risa smiled at him slightly.

"We are an unusual pair, but we do fit well together," she chuckled.

"I don't trust him Risa," he said bluntly.

Risa nodded.

"I know, not many do. But I trust him. You know who I didn't trust?" she asked him quietly.

"Who?" Hitsugaya asked curiously.

"Aizen," she answered causing his eyes to widen.

"Why? He was probably the most trusted Captain here," he tried.

"And yet it was his body up on that tower. A long time ago something happened that caused much chaos within the Soul Society that I'm sure you've heard different versions of. You're still very young. Your history has been taught to you not lived. Because of that…well…let's just say I didn't kill Aizen, but I'm not sad that he is gone and I will shed no tears for him," she said bluntly.

She turned and walked off leaving behind a stunned Hitsugaya with new information.

How did you guys like it?! Please review! I will update soon! Let me know how it's going so far.

This is just the beginning. The plot stays through the Aizen arc, obviously with some changes to accommodate my character, but not big ones. Then it goes off on its own. I may divide the story into two and give it a sequel.
