Hi everyone. I made another Bleach fanfic, and this time it's set in an alternate world. Something different. No vampires or anything of that sort. This fanfic is based on supernatural beings. So, I hope you guys will look forward to it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or the characters.

A little boy ran into the meadow. He looked from left to right, searching. The meadow was vibrant green with tall grasses. The wind blew in a refreshing breeze. The boy ran towards the destination. He found who he was looking for.

There, crawled up by the river bank was a boy with orange hair, crying his eyes out. He sobbed and sobbed. His cheeks were stained by his tears.

"Ichigo!"

***

Opening his eyes wide, Ichigo woke up, looking up to see the fan spiraling from its place. He looked at the time, and it was eight fifty-nine am. He felt hot as he got out of his hammock. He was in his shorts and tank top. He stretched out his limbs as he yawned. He scratched the back of his neck. He carefully walked out of his room, trying to not to step on any of the things lying about. He got his clothes that lay on a chair. He walked out of his room towards the bathroom. He took a cold shower and changed into a new set of clothes.

The teenager made breakfast, and he began to eat.

The boy was currently in his late teens, and he was already working. His work didn't involve anything like an office worker, but more on the government issues.

Then, he heard his cell phone vibrating on the table. There was a text message. "'Yo, Ichigo, how are you doing? You know it's me. I'm fine. Anything happen?'"

Ichigo's eyes widened a bit as he smiled warmly. He quickly typed the characters. "Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing happened. I just woke up. It's Monday…"

Ichigo paused, thinking as he subconsciously tapped the phone on his bottom lip as he leaned back in his chair. His feet were on the edge of the table. Another thought entered his mind with a memory. His face brightened up again as he smiled. "I had that dream again. Do you remember it? It's when you found me at that…place…?"

It was ten years ago when it happened. His memory was fuzzy, so it was hard to be able to focus on each piece.

Ichigo pressed the 'sent' button, and he began to eat the rest of his breakfast. He began to space out as he laid his head against the palm of his hand. The boy began to remember the events from his childhood. It's been about a month since he got any messages from his brother, and it made him happy to hear from him. It was a small message, but it made him happy.

His ears picked up on the sound of vibrating from his phone, and he quickly flipped it open. Another message and it was short. He gave a satisfying sigh. "'Monday, huh? Well, anything can happen. You sure sleep a lot, little brother. That dream? You mean that memory? Yeah, I remember it. I found you and you were crying like crazy…'"

Ichigo blushed as though he was embarrassed. He can sense the sarcasm from reading that text. He gave a sigh as he pressed the buttons hard on his small phone. "Yeah, I like to sleep. I have nothing to do, and it's my day off. I don't get to work until they call me up, you know? As for my crying, I grew out of it! Anyhow, where are you? Are you coming over this time?"

The teenager pressed the 'sent' button again as he sighed. He slumped in his chair. The thought of work makes him agitated. It was 'work' though. He loathed it more than anything. Besides all that, he was pretty much stuck in where he was at the moment. He couldn't get out. There were no windows, and the door was locked from the outside. It made him depressed. He wanted to get out of this place.

Then, he heard his phone vibrating again. His phone was the only thing that he could rely on. He flipped it open, and it was another message with hardly any smileys as usual. Each message that came brought a smile to his face though. "'Jeez, no need to get so defensive. I was only playing with you. I know you like to sleep. You did sleep a lot because you happened to do a lot of activity. I don't need much sleep. I can stay up as much as I want too. Day off, huh? That's great. I'm glad that you're not doing that kind of stuff now. I hate hearing about it. Makes me want to burn this city, you know? Grew out of your crying? Ha ha ha! Yeah right. I know how you are.

I'm still miles away from where you are, but I'm moving another ten miles as you read this. I still have to hide. I can't come in the open, you know? I'm hoping to come over soon. It's hard to get to your location. Last time that happened, I wasn't able to succeed, and now, you're there. It's my fault. I promise to get you out, Ichigo.'"

The message as usual made Ichigo very emotional. He remembered about what happened last time. They both plan to escape and live in hiding from those bastards. The orange haired boy could try to escape if he didn't have a collar on him that kept track of him. He hated it so much, but he couldn't hurt anyone. It was in his nature. He sent another message. "You're playing with me again. But, don't hurt anyone, ok? I'm begging you….

"Fine, believe me or not! I don't cry anymore. Yeah, the location is heavily guarded this time than last time. It's ok. As long as you're free, it's fine with me-"

Then, the boy heard a knock on the door, and a familiar voice calling for him. "Ichigo, it's time. We're coming in."

Ichigo quickly sent the last message, and press 'sent'. He walked over to a couch, and he placed his phone in the cushions. He heard the door opened, and he turned to see six men coming in. He disliked them, but he had no choice but to obey them. It was Sousuke Aizen and Kisuke Urahara. Both men were smiling while four men were on their guard. They were wearing formal black suits while the two wore white coats. It made Ichigo feel uneasy, but the two men smiling to him made him even more nervous than the four. Urahara smiled in the usual manner of greeting the boy. "Good morning, Mr. Kurosaki. Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, I did. So, what's the visit for today? Didn't you tell me that I'm off for today?" The orange haired boy stated with a feeling of unease. It gets to him every time when these two came into his room.

"I'm sorry to say, but we need you back for more data collecting." Aizen stated with a soft smile on his face.

"I thought you said you had enough yesterday! Why now? What more do you need?" Ichigo stated feeling more frightened. He hated the pain, and he hated to sleep more.

"Sorry about that, but you must come. We need more data." Urahara stated with a calm smile.

The orange haired boy knew that he couldn't disobey them. They would make him go either way because of the device that was placed around his neck. The mechanism is able to drain out his energy to the point that he would collapse and wake up from hours to days later. Ichigo wanted to escape but he couldn't. He hated what they did to him.

The boy nodded his head, and he was directed by the men to leave his room. His room was part of the facility. The facility was made specifically for him. It was a giant laboratory, and it was directed by Aizen and Urahara. Ichigo didn't like the place. He was always watched and used. The giant building did have what he was provided with, but there was only one thing that it lacked. It was the feeling of being outside.

In the halls, it was pure white. The lights were bright. Ichigo looked around himself, seeing the white halls. It seemed like it would go on for many miles, but it didn't. There were doors, but they were about ten meters away from each other. The rooms inside would be big. The building had only one floor to keep things in order, and the perimeter was a giant square from what it looks like outside. The inside looked large as well.

They finally made their destination. They were at the end of the hall. There were two other guards on either side of the door. Ichigo had a bad feeling. It was always the same feeling when he had before entering the next room. He hated that feeling, and he wanted to leave. Urahara smiled to the boy, "Well, in you go, this is where you'll be tested in."

Ichigo didn't say anything as the doors opened, and the group entered inwards. Inside, there was a tropical forest being caged with a giant cage. It was only forty feet away. Ichigo looked back to the two men in white lab coats, and they urged him to go in. The orange haired boy kept walking until he entered the cage. He heard the cage closed behind him. He looked behind him, seeing that the two scientists stayed behind. The boy sighed solemnly to himself. "What to do now…?"

***

In another room, Aizen sat in his seat. In the room, it was filled with many monitors corresponding to the rooms and halls. The only room that wasn't monitored was Ichigo's, but they didn't bother to tell the boy. The light haired man believed in privacy, and the brunette didn't really care about that. They knew Ichigo couldn't use his abilities off surveillance cameras. The device on his neck was able to detect those abilites.

Urahara brought two cups of tea for each of them and the bespectacled man thanked the light haired man. They were both monitoring Ichigo's movements as he entered the environment. Aizen had his usual smile on his face. "Let's see what he'll do now."

"Ah, he's starting to observe the area. Time to start our notes." Urahara stated taking out some sheets of paper and a pencil. He began to write the minor details.

"He's already starting to show his wings." Aizen stated with a smile on his face.

On the monitor screen, the boy flew straight up into the air, but he can only reach towards the top of the cage. He didn't touch it since it would electrocute him. There was no escape for him. He looked around the area, and it seemed to be caged up too nicely for his taste. The forest was quite nicely built too, but he disliked the fact that it was artificially made. He walked on air, not seeing anything that would please him.

Then, he sensed another being in the same room, and he turned to see another figure not too far away. Ichigo was glad to see another being in the same place as him, but he couldn't shake a bad feeling off him. Something didn't feel right.

***

Urahara commented, "You're releasing him now?"

"Why not? It would be a good time to test him on the boy?" Aizen commented as he sipped his cup of tea.

Urahara felt uneasy, but he couldn't complain either. He liked to watch the experiment and see it succeed without fail. But other than that, he couldn't believe the brunette released the experiment early than expected.

Ichigo landed on the ground quickly, and he hid behind a few trees. From a few meters away, it was another boy, and he looked to be around Ichigo's age. What was more strange was that this boy looked almost like Ichigo. The opposite was that the boy had black hair and blue eyes. This boy was looking around, amazed at the tropical forest. He grinned to himself. "Hmm… This place ain't so bad from that last place that I've been in. This time it's a forest… Huh, I feel someone near by…"

The black haired boy looked around as he moved from one spot to another as he got closer to Ichigo's location. The orange haired boy was afraid to be seen by him so he moved further away. The black haired boy felt as though it was a game, so he ran after the presence. Ichigo put more speed into his walk. Both boys chasing the other as the other boy walked further and further into the forest. There were many trees, and Ichigo passed by with ease. The other did fine as he passed by. The orange haired boy made it to the clearing. He looked around him as he walked another five feet away from the forest. He didn't see that boy.

Before Ichigo could quickly walk further away, the black haired boy appeared before him. The orange haired boy was surprised that he fell backwards, and landed on the ground on his butt. He stated, "Ow!"

"Hey! Sorry about that. I see that you're here in this place. I've never met you before. I'm Kaien. What's your name?" Kaien gave his hand out to Ichigo with a smile on his face.

"I-Ichigo Kurosaki." Ichigo stated as he took that boy's hand, and he stood up with a pull. He looked to the other boy with unease.

Kaien grinned to the boy as he inched closer to Ichigo, which alarmed the orange head. "Wh-what?'

The black haired boy gave a smile as he touched Ichigo's orange hair. "I like your hair. It's orange."

"Th-thanks. It's been like this." The teenager stated with a bit of a stutter. He couldn't figure out the taller boy out.

"Really? You mean you didn't dye it artificially? That's so cool! My hair's black! So boring!" Kaien laughed as he walked around the boy.

Ichigo didn't say anything, but he felt good around this boy. He also had a collar around his neck. He couldn't help but question the taller male. "Um, are you… were you forced here?"

Kaien stopped in his tracks as he froze up. Ichigo wondered if he chooses the wrong words to ask.

On the outskirts of the giant city, it was dark and cold outside. Some buildings were lit with some lights. The night winds blew heavily. The passer-bys have it rough if they didn't know the forecast of the night. To those other beings though, this cold didn't faze them or it did worse than the rest of the 'normal' crowd.

On a building, a boy with white hair sat on the corner, curled up. He was holding a phone in one hand. He gave a sigh as he sat up, looking at the city from where he was. He was on top of a giant facility of City Hall. Hichigo Kurosaki stretched out his limbs. He then noticed that he dropped his phone. "Dammit…"

The boy twisted around in slow motion as he fell backwards. The gravity seemed to put in less density or so it would seem. The boy was falling faster and faster. As soon as he saw his phone, he caught it with one hand as he twisted around. Before hitting the ground, there was a heavy gust of wind that passed around the white haired teen. Hichigo landed safely on the ground, and the wind died down. He gave a sigh. "That's a relief."

He looked back to his phone, and he saw no messages. The last message that he received was about six hours ago. He sent in his message, but he hasn't received any since that time. He gave another sigh of irritation and annoyance, but filled with unease. Ichigo stated that it was his day off today, but the boy didn't send him another message. The white haired boy wondered what happened. The white haired boy couldn't do anything accept leap from one building to the next quickly before he was found or seen.

Hichigo looked around himself. There was no one. It was empty. He gave a sigh as he put his phone in his pocket of his jeans. "Well, I'll have to get going. It's been five years since that time, and now, I've been able to locate his location.

"Those bastards will pay…" The white haired boy leaped from his spot, and he began to jump from building to building. "Wait for me…Ichigo!"
