A/N: This is my first story, so go easy!!

Disclaimer: I do not own bleach, or any of the characters, Kubo Tite does, and if I did own bleach, It would have too much bloodshed. I still wish I did own it.

Chapter 1

The smoke coming from a newly lit cigarette intensified for a few seconds as a orange haired man took a long drag out of it. The smoke wavered slightly and returned to its normal state. The man took the cigarette out of his mouth, relishing the aftertaste of the stick as he leaned against the alley wall. He closed his eyes and saw little flashes of the past, which caused his already dark facial expression to grow considerably darker.

He squatted down and inhaled some more smoke, hoping that the memories would go away so that he could continue on with his own miserable life. His cigarette was finished in minutes, but the memories were still there. He decided to light up another one when he heard the footsteps that were nearing him every second. The sounds stopped just a few feet before him. He sighed knowing all too well how the conversation would start.

"You should really start quitting, those would kill you."

"So? What's it matter to you, Ishida? What would you care if I do die?"

"I don't, but others will. Think about others, you stupid prick!!"

"Yeah right" scoffed the orange-haired man. He was surprised when the other person suddenly grabbed his collar and forced him onto the wall, but he just turned his head and looked disinterested.

"You listen clearly, Ichigo! I do not fucking give a damn about what happened to you and Kuchiki-san, but for fuck's sake!! Get over it!! Think about your family!!" Ishida bellowed, which caused something within Ichigo to snap.

"Shut the fuck up. You don't know what I went through, so stick to your own things, you little shit." Ichigo snarled as he slammed Ishida to the ground. He turned around and walked back to the bar, carelessly throwing away his cigarette. They still had a show.

Ichigo sighed as he walked in. He was already a local star, being the lead vocalist and guitarist of the band Ishida, he and Chad formed. The band was called "Death & Regrets" (A/N: okay, it sucks, but I can't think of any other names) He was at vocal and a rhythm, Ishida was at lead, and Chad was the drummer (A/N:Yes, Yes, he's a guitarist too, but play along.) They played their own songs, made mostly by Ichigo. Most of the songs Ichigo wrote were full of angst, and was usually of a girl leaving a guy to hate. It was probably fueled by Ichigo's problems and hate too.

Ichigo entered the backstage, where Chad was waiting, awaiting both the return of his band mates. He signaled that they were about to come onstage. Ichigo nodded indifferently. They picked up their things and started tuning. They barely heard the host just outside the curtain. The curtain opened and they saw the whole bar.

The bar was packed, mostly with girls who were fan girls to the band. Almost all were holding signs, expressing how they feel about the band members. Ichigo tapped the mic and spoke. "Tonight, were going to be playing our new song, MakeDamnSure, please enjoy." He said, and then looked at Ishida and Chad.

Signaling that they understood, Chad tapped his drumsticks together and Ishida started playing his guitar. When He heard his cue, Ichigo took a deep breath and started singing.

You've got this new head filled up with smoke.

And I got my veins all tangled close,

To the jukebox bars you frequent.

The safest place to hide.

A long night spent with your most obvious weakness.

You start shaking at the thought.

You are everything I want.

'Cause you are everything I'm not.

And we lay, we lay together just not,

Too close, too close. (How close is close enough?)

We lay, we lay together just not,

Too close, too close.

I just wanna break you down so badly.

Well I trip over everything you say.

I just wanna break you down so badly.

In the worst way.

My inarticulate store bought hangover hobby kit.

It talks (Ta-a-alks), it says, "You, oh, you are so cool."

Scissor shaped across the bed, you are red, violent red.

You hollow out my hungry eyes.

You hollow out my hungry eyes.

And we lay, we lay together just not,

Too close, too close. (How close is close enough?)

We lay, we lay together just not,

Too close, too close.

I just wanna break you down so badly.

Well I trip over everything you say.

Well I just wanna break you down so badly.

In the worst way.

I just wanna break you down so badly.

Well I trip over everything you say.

I just wanna break you down so badly.

In the worst way. (Worst way.)

I'm gonna make damn sure that you can't ever leave.

No, you won't ever get too far from me.

You won't ever get too far from me.

I'll make damn sure that you can't ever leave.

No, you won't ever get too far from me.

You won't ever get too far from me.

You won't ever get too far from me. (Ever get too far...)

You won't ever get too far...

I just wanna break you down so badly.

Well I trip over everything you say.

Well I just wanna break you down so badly.

In the worst way. (Worst way.)

I'm gonna make damn sure.

I just wanna break you down so badly.

I just wanna break you down so badly. (Damn sure.)

In the worst way. (Worst way.)

Ichigo felt the all too familiar feeling of anger and hatred wash over him as he finished the song. The crowd applauded, but he couldn't care less. He just received a message that there were hollows in a nearby park. He felt a little happiness that he could at least release his anger a little. He told Ishida what was going to happen, but Ishida waved him off.

"Orihime and I are going somewhere tonight, so just take care of it. Don't bother Chad too, he already went home, he said he's going on a vacation to his hometown" Ishida said as he walked outside.

"Fine, just drop off my body at home." Ichigo said as he used the keychain given to him as proof of his being a substitute Death god.

"Sure, go ahead."

Ichigo bolted off, waiting to release his anger. He reached the park in no time. The hollows took lesser time than he thought. He ran as fast as he could to his apartment, and entered his body. He showered and headed to the balcony of his apartment. He lit up a cigarette and smoked it. Just as he was finishing his pack, his phone started ringing. He looked at it and read the message.

"Emergency meeting at the Urahara Shoten? What the hell is that pervert planning now?" Ichigo grumbled as he dressed. He went out, locked his door, and walked to Urahara.

End of Chap 1

A/N: So.. This is the first chapter, I know it sucks, but bear with me. Please tell me if I should continue it. Flames will be ignored completely, though constructive criticism will be appreciated. The song isn't mine, it's by Taking Back Sunday. You'll understand it if you hear it.
