I do not own Bleach or make any money off of this story.

Summary: Based off of a book by R.L. Stine. Shirosaki is a ghost from the future haunting Ichigo and it's up to the two of them to stop his death from happening. It's been years since I read the book, so this is more of a roughly similar plot outline than anything else. The beginning is Renji x Ichigo, but it is eventually Shirosaki x Ichigo.

Haunted: Chapter 1

Any normal kid would be happy on their sixteenth birthday, but Ichigo wasn't normal. Instead of being woken up to sunshine or even the Happy Birthday song, the orange haired teenager woke up to his father's 'bitter crying attack.'

"Ichigo!!!"

The teen's eyes flew open and he rolled off of his bed quickly, just barely missing the kick aimed at his head.

"You crazy bastard!" Ichigo grabbed his father, Isshin's, leg and twisted it so the old man was forced to turn his body, loosing his footing and falling to the ground.

"Masaki! Our son is so strong!!!"

"Sorry Ichigo, I tried to stop him." Masaki said from the doorway, but the smiling woman looked more amused than apologetic.

The teen's eye twitched and he dropped his dad's leg before standing up and stretch. He yawned and glanced over at the clock which read 9:30. "Fuck! Renji and Rukia are going to be here soon!"

Masaki calmly stepped aside as her son sprinted through the door. "Happy birthday, sweetheart."

"Thanks mum." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before dashing to the bathroom to quickly take a shower.

The woman with the auburn hair smiled after him and turned to face her husband who was crying tears of joy. "Our son is getting older!"

"Yes, yes. I know. Now wipe your face and come help me wash the dishes."

"Yes dear!"

…

After his shower, Ichigo tore into his closet and yanked on his t.A.T.u. shirt and hopped on one foot as he pulled on his jeans. "Ichigo! Renji and Rukia are here!"

"I'm coming!" Ichigo yelled down. He grabbed his heavy silver chain and slipped it over his head before glancing in the mirror. His orange hair stood up in chunky spikes as usual. He made a face at his expression and snatched his wallet up from the night stand, slipping it into his back pocket and heading out the door.

In the empty room a soft breeze came through the open window, making the curtains dance across the bed. A soft growl echoed and the wind died down, leaving only small bits of dried leaves in its wake.

Downstairs, Ichigo cautiously peaked around the corner. He might want to hang out with Renji and Rukia, but those two were evil incarnate and any moment they would sneak up on him and-

"Agh!" Ichigo jumped at the sharp smack that was delivered to his ass and turned around to glare at the offending party. "Renji you ass, that hurt!"

"There are fifteen more where that came from." The grinning red head said. Ichigo glared, making Renji smirk and grab his hips before pulling him against his taller body. "C'mon Ichi, don't be like that."

"Jerk." Ichigo mumbled before Renji bent over and kissed him. The scent of Renji's cologne invaded Ichigo's senses and he inhaled deeply while moving closer. The red head purred in pleasure and pressed into Ichigo while coaxing the other into opening his mouth into the kiss.

"Ahem." Ichigo pulled away and glared at Rukia who was grinning jovially at him. "Oh, don't mind me. We can open presents and go to the amusement park later."

"Fuck you." Renji shot at Rukia and gave Ichigo's ass a quick squeeze before letting go.

Ichigo punched him in the shoulder and walked into the kitchen to grab some breakfast with Renji shadowing his every step and Rukia watching in amusement. "If you don't back off, I'm going to hurt you." Ichigo growled in warning and brandished a knife at Renji before going back to chopping up the ingredients for an omelet.

"Alright, fine." The red head held his hands up in surrender. "You're so violent, baby."

"Hmph."

"That's right, I almost forgot." Renji dug into his letterman jacket that he had hanging on the back of his chair and drew out a small box which was hap hazardously wrapped. "Happy birthday."

Ichigo took it curiously and unwrap it while his food cooked. It was a jewelry box. He slowly opened and his brown eyes grew wide as he took in the thick ruby ring. "Renji…"

Rukia quietly made her exit and gave them some time alone. "I'm not asking you to marry me or anything…." Renji said sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck. "We've been going out for three years now and…look, it's just a promise ring. Nothing special…"

Ichigo finally looked up from the ring. "I love it." He stood up on the tips of his toes and kissed Renji slowly. He pulled away with a gasp as he remembered what he was doing. "My eggs!"

Renji watched with a grin as Ichigo turned back to what he was cooking, which was thankfully not burned. "Here." He took the ring and slid it onto Ichigo's right ring finger. "I'm glad you like it." He kissed Ichigo's temple and stepped back a safe distance from Ichigo's cooking. The orange haired teen was blushing furiously and fussing with his food until he could control himself.

Their quiet moment of comfort was soon interrupted by Isshin launching himself into the kitchen and tackling his son who had thankfully just set his plate down. "My beautiful son! Come open presents!"

"Get off goat face!" Ichigo tried to shove the man off of him but Isshin caught sight of the ring.

"Is this from Renji? Ah! How wonderful!!!" Isshin leaped at Renji to give him a hug but the red head was used to these attacks by now and easily dodged.

A rather hectic breakfast/present opening commenced. Ichigo was rather spoiled when it came to material things because his parents were rich, but the thoughtful gifts he was given were worth more than anything else.

"Let's go!" Renji began to drag Ichigo out to his car while Ichigo waved to his parents.

"Is your brother going to drive you?" Ichigo asked. Byakuya, Rukia's brother and guardian, refused to allow his precious little sister into the 'death trap' that was Renji's car or let the maniac driver (Renji) anywhere near her.

"Yeah, I'll meet you there."

The now-sixteen year old slid into the passenger's side and grinned at Renji who revved the engine- an action very looked down on their rich, suburban neighborhood- and took off. Ichigo rolled the window down and sighed as the cool air blew into the car. Renji looked over at his boyfriend and couldn't help but grin at the soft expression on his face as he looked outside, the sun lighting his face and making him look even more beautiful.

"Pay attention to the road." Ichigo elbowed Renji in the side, making the red head grunt and do so. A flash in the corner of his eye caught Ichigo's attention and he turned around, but there was nothing there. He could have sworn he saw something white move in the back seat… With a shrug he turned around and face forward.

They were just pulling up to a stop light when a frown crossed Renji's face. He pressed his foot down on the brake, but nothing was happening. "Oi…" He stomped on the break harder but nothing happened. "Fuck!" He cursed and pressed his left foot down hard into the clutch and forced the gears into first, making the car jerk forward.

"Shit!" Ichigo braced his hands against the dashboard to stop himself from hitting it.

Renji shoved his foot down again and thankfully this time the breaks worked, forcing the car to slow down and stop for the red light. "What the hell Renji?" Ichigo asked in confusion.

"Dunno…the breaks were acting weird."

"You should get that looked at soon."

"Yeah, yeah I will. But for now you just enjoy your birthday."

The light turned green and they started forward once more. Unseen by either of them were the glowing yellow eyes watching them and narrowed in hatred.

When they got to the amusement park, Rukia was already there. Her older brother looked very out of place in his formal suit and tie, but that didn't seem to bother the noble any. "Er, hello sir." Renji said timidly to the man who glared.

"Hi, Byakuya." Ichigo said cheerfully with a grin. Byakuya sighed slightly and nodded to the teenager.

"Kurosaki-san, I trust you are enjoying your birthday?"

"Yep."

"Hm. Here." Byakuya held out a rectangular box that was neatly wrapped. "Happy birthday."

"Thank you." Ichigo certainly wasn't expecting anything from the man. They hadn't always gotten along, but as Ichigo grew older the noble seemed to tolerate Ichigo more and more although he still despised Renji. Ichigo thought at first it was because they were guys who were friends with his little sister, but both of them were gay.

Ichigo opened the gift and grinned at the book he pulled out. 'The Complete Works of Shakespeare.' "Thank you!" Ichigo said gleefully. Byakuya nodded to him and Renji glared at the man.

"Let's put it in my car so you don't lose it." Renji said gruffly and practically dragged Ichigo to the car.

"What's wrong Renji?" Ichigo asked curiously.

"Nothing." The red head muttered. Ichigo leaned in to put the book into the back seat and Renji slid behind him, grinding his hips forward into Ichigo's ass.

"Renji?" Ichigo asked in confusion and stood up. Renji and Ichigo hadn't gotten any farther than making out and a little bit of the over the clothes stuff. Renji made it clear he wanted Ichigo, but would wait.

"Sorry, I just don't like the way Kuchiki looks at you."

The orange haired teen rolled his eyes and took Renji's hand. "He doesn't like me that way."

"Maybe…but sometimes it looks like he wants to jump your bones."

"You're projecting." Ichigo commented and hit him upside the head. "Now shush, I want to have fun and you shouldn't be jealous anyways."

They did have fun, despite the obvious antagonism between Renji and Byakuya. They ate junk food until they made themselves sick and then went on stomach dropping rides that threatened to bring it all up. By the end of the day they were exhausted. Ichigo fell asleep in Renji's car on the way back and only woke up to eat cake with his family before dragging himself up to bed.

He changed quickly and fell into bed without even pulling up the covers. Cold air caressed his body and he frowned before lifting his hand to bat at the open window before finally closing it. He shivered as a chill came over his body and with a huff he got underneath the covers and burrowed underneath them. He finally fell asleep with a sigh.

An almost transparent figure stepped up to the bed and reached a white hand down to touch the bright orange hair. The strands shifted underneath his fingers and Ichigo mumbled slightly before turning over. The golden eyes surrounded by black narrowed and the figure scowled down at the beautiful teen.

'Ya were the one who killed me.' The wind whispered in the room. 'Ya won't be able to escape my anger.'

So, confused yet? Despite the RenjixIchigo fluff and hinted one-sided ByakuyaxIchigo, there will be ShirosakixIchigo.
