My previous life

"Take the right!" called out Toshiro signaling his men to go different directions. "Retrieving the element is our top priority."

The soul reapers made there way through the forest and Toshiro summoned his Bankai making himself able to take flight. There in front of him was a giant bird in the air with a cloaked figure riding it. Brown eyes looked back to see the silver haired boy ganging up to him.

"Captain!" cried out Rangiku from the bottom.

The figure clicked his heels to the side of the bird making it go faster.

"Oh no you don't." said Toshiro as he picked up speed.

Suddenly the figure turned around and sat backwards on the creature taking out a funny looking fishing rod he tossed the line wrapping it around the silver haired boy's body, taking Toshiro by surprise.

"What the-!" Toshiro cried out as the creature began to drag him through the air.

The captain did his best to struggle free, which proved no use to his enemies strength. His body thrashed all over the place, until finaly he felt his body get thrown lifelessly against the ground. The figure got off the bird and tossed the bag with the element over his shoulder.

"Your pretty good." he said still not revealing himself.

Turquoise eyes glow darkly causing ice to form on the line. Brown eyes widened and immediately released him so that he wouldn't break the line.

"Give back the element!" he demanded.

The figure looked back at his bag and pointed at it with his thumb.

"You mean this old thing?" he asked making Toshiro mad.

"What do you think!" he yelled standing up straight, blood trickled down his chest forming a pool of blood beneith him.

"Your injured, there's no way you can win against me." explained the figure pointing out Toshiro's injured body.

"I will retrieve the element no matter what!" Toshiro responded as he charged at him.

The figure defended himself with his fishing pole keeping themselves only inches away from each own. Familiar brown eyes suddenly opened wide from shock as if he just realized something.

"Wha-what?" he said making Toshiro pause a bit.

"Captain!" cried out Rangiku as she ran towards the dueling pair.

The figure looked at her then at Toshiro, he secretly smiled and tossed the captain his bag. Toshiro stared in shock that his enemy had willingly gave him back the element.

"If you wanted it so badly, you should have asked for it nicely." he said making Toshiro a bit confused.

"What are you talking about."

The figure just put his index finger over his lips.

"Secrete." he said as he took off on the creature.

"Wait!" cried out Toshiro trying to pursue him, but he stopped for the pain in his chest was unbearable. Collapsing on the floor he felt flurry... everything was so flurry.

"Do you want to see your friends?" whispered a stone cold voice.

Toshiro flinched.

"Who are you?" he called out into the darkness.

"You don't have to worry about anything, just tell me honestly." he said again.

"See my friends?" Toshiro wondered confusedly.

Suddenly the place became very cold, the wind blew changing the environment into a field of ice. There were two figures standing in a pool of blood.

"NO!" Shrieked out a broken painful voice.

The silver haired boy quickly jolted up, panting he swung his head back and forth to see where he was.

"Good morning captain!" sang a cheery Matsumoto as she entered the room. "How have you been doing?" she asked playfully not noticing the relief in the captains eyes.

Toshiro sighed, he was glad that it was only a nightmare. It's been weeks since the incident with the boy and the element.

"I'd be doing fine..." he slowly spoke then raised his voice "If someone would keep up with her work!" he screamed out sending his lieutenant flying.

"Captain, you don't have to be like that!" she whined making her captain feel more agitated.

"Go!" he demanded making her run out of the office as if she seen a ghost.

Slouching back down the young boy cupped his face in exhaustion. Ever since the incident, he's been having some strange dreams. Staring off into the distance, he did his best to try to remember the past events not realizing that his lieutenant was secretly watching him.

The hours past and the day ended like any other, yet some how Toshiro felt somewhat distracted. Laying his head down on the desk he closed his eyes, and pondered on the question that the mystery man asked him.

"Do you want to see your friends?"

Toshiro grunted who was he to ask such a question.

"Finally your on a break!" called out Rangiku in amusement.

"Your still here?" the boy muttered ignoring her comment causing the girl to pout.

"Oh come on, you work way too much." she responded acting a bit disappointed. "You know what you need?" she asked sounding a bit trivial.

"Yes, you to do your work." he answered.

"No, a break!" she corrected in a sweet way.

Turquoise eyes shot a glare at the women.

"Most of the captains plan on going to the ceremony in the world of the living tomorrow." she explained herself.

"So." he responded uninterested.

"So, I think it would be a lovely way to get your mind off of things and relax a bit." she chirped making her captain annoyed.

"Go yourself." he answered turning back to his paper work.

"Aw!" she whined disappointingly as she folded her arms.

"Your not going?" asked a small sweet voice.

The silver haired boy lifted up his face to see his dear friend Momo standing before him.

"Wh- why not?" she asked also disappointed.

Toshiro turned his face away from the girl not wanting to see her expression.

"I have a lot of paper work to catch up with." he explained giving his lieutenant an idea.

"I know!" she cried out smacking her fist into her palm. "How about a deal." she said sounding extremely excited.

Toshiro raised his eyebrow.

"How about if you go, then I'll do a week of paper work with no complaining whats so ever." she said sounding clever.

Toshiro suddenly slammed his book closed causing both girls to jump and wait anxiously for his response. Looking back at Rangiku with a sturdy look he spoke sounding a bit harsh.

"Hows about if you are able to finish yesterday's and today's work by tonight without help, and then maybe I'll take your offer."

Rangiku looked at him puzzled then though about it.

"Deal!" she responded as if nothing happened.

Toshiro then sat back down and continued his work meanwhile the ladies stepped out.

"Are you sure your able to do that much work by tonight?" asked Momo a bit worried.

"Oh don't worry about it." she said sounding very confident "Besides..." she then became a bit worried "He really seems exhausted, I believe he's over doing it." she said upset.

Momo frowned, she knew that Toshiro was young yet he does too much work.

"Do you want to see your friends?" whispered the harsh voice.

There was a plain of ice, and a pool of blood. Toshiro stood alone in the pool of blood, covering his ears as the voices consumed him.

"You don't deserve Friends!"

"Stop!" whispered Toshiro.

"What qualifications do you need to have a friend?"

"Stop!" cried out Toshiro as many voices filled the air. "Stop!" he screamed out closing his eyes.

Warmth... opening his eyes he felt as if someone was behind him.

"It's been a while." said the voice from behind him, but Toshiro made no attempt to face the boy.

"Who- who are you?" Toshiro asked a bit hazy.

The voice laughed. "Oh come you don't remember me?" it asked causing a flash a pain to go through Toshiro's mind.

Turquoise eyes opened in shock. "I fell asleep?" he wondered peering around the room and catching a glimpse of Rangiku. Bending to get a better view of the girl he saw that she had fallen asleep on her paper work. Sighing he covered her with a blanket and took hold of the papers to inspect it. Amazingly it was finished, the boy slightly smiled and turned away to leave.

"Ah, what a beautiful day!" called out Rangiku as she walked out of the store wearing a lovely kimono.

"Don't you think so?" she asked her captain whom seemed a bit dazed.

Toshiro shrugged, somehow today he felt very depressed. "You don't remember me?" the boy recalled as the girl babbled about herself. Why did that bother him so much when it was only a dream.

"Yo!" called out Ichigo as his crew was passing by.

"Oh hi Kurosaki!" greeted Rangiku.

The carrot head smiled down at Toshiro and spoke about where they will be staying but then paused a bit as he noticed that the boy wasn't even looking at him.

"Your alright?" he asked catching the boys attention.

"I'm fine." he whispered then turned making his way away from the group.

Ichigo scratched his head a bit confused.

"Oh-kay." he said looking back at Rangiku whom seemed very worried.

"I'm sorry, he's been like that for a while now." explained Rangiku feeling a little lost at words.

Toshiro walked alone through the crowed of people, they were all wearing masks yet he didn't care to pay attention to them. There was a low but beautiful melody in the air that caught the boys attention, fallowing the sound of sweet music he came across a strange short women with funny teeth and an awkward costume. She looked really funny, but the music she emitted was so peaceful that Toshiro couldn't pull away from it. Closing his eyes he listened to the sweat melody, it soothed and calmed him till suddenly it stopped.

"You have a peaceful heartbeat." she said catching the captains attention, "Yet it seems somewhat troubled." The lady looked at him with a kind but familiar smile.

"Ah I'm sorry." Toshiro apologized not meaning to trouble the strange lady yet his politeness made her chuckle..

"And your quite sincere too." she said giggling yet paused as she took note on the boys appearance"have we met before?"

Toshiro looked at her for a while before shaking his head.

"I'm sorry, I'm not from around here." he responded.

"Melody." called out a voice from behind him.

Turing around Toshiro saw a young man with pretty blonde hair and big flattering blue eyes.

"whats wrong?" asked the lady.

The blonde haired boy stared at Toshiro for a moment before responding.

"We must be off." he said.

Toshiro just watched him, somehow he felt as if he met this guy before.

"Alright." she responded then looked back at Toshiro. "I'm sorry I must be leaving now." she said and then bowed.

Toshiro also bowed back slowly feeling his depression returning.

"Don't worry, we will meet again." she said as she followed the other male.

Toshiro just turned his face, he didn't even know those two yet he felt as if he didn't want them to leave. Realizing that he didn't even know her name he turned back around towards the ladies direction.

"Wait I don't even know your name?" he called out, but no one was there.

Looking around he saw that they were both gone.

Deep in the ally way, Melody walked alongside the blonde haired boy into a corner where there stood a few people.

"So how was he?" asked the young boy.

"He doesn't seem recall anything." responded melody.

"Really?" he asked feeling doubtful.

"Well that is no surprise." explained the blonde haired boy "when people die, sometimes it's hard for them to remember there past life."

The young boy frowned then stood up feeling determined.

"Okay then!" he said as he began to leave.

"Gon where are you going?" asked the older male.

"Don't worry, I'll be back." he said as he ran out.

"Toshiro, you should really try this." said Momo showing him a cotton candy stick. "It's really good."

Toshiro ignored her, he did feel like anything. Looking up he recalled that this always happened this time of month, he would always feel so depressed and agitated.

"I'm not in the mood." he said shrewdly causing Momo to sigh out of exhaustion.

"Fine, oh don't go anywhere. I'll be right back." she said running off.

Brown eyes peaked out at him from behind the bushes.

"Who goes there?" called out Toshiro as he immediately felt the presence.

"Wow I guess I shouldn't have underestimated you." said the boy coming out of the bushes.

Toshiro's eyes widened; it was that theft from before, the one whom stole the element.

"Hey!" he said innocently.

"What are you doing here?" Toshiro asked becoming defensive.

The boy looked at him confusedly.

"Ha, I thought you wanted to see me." he reasoned a bit disappointed.

"Why would I- want to see you." he responded becoming a bit agitated.

The boy looked at him with a pouted look.

"Oh come on, you don't remember me." he said folding his arms.

Toshiro froze as he recalled the voice from the dream.

"Okay Okay, let me give you a hint, my name starts with a G-" he stated giving him a wide smile.

Toshiro shook his head in effort to forget the dream and hit reality.

"I remember you, your the theft that stole the element." he stated out angrily.

"Hey I'm not a theft, I'm a hunter, and that element didn't even belong to you." the boy pointed out.

"A what?" Toshiro asked.

"Man, I can't believe you don't even remember that." the boy retorted while he scratched his head.

"Remember what!" Toshiro yelled loosing all his patience.

"Remember us, me, Leorio, Kurapika?" he responded trying to get Toshiro to remember something.

Toshiro didn't remember, but his heart sure did. His heart slowly began to beat loudly, causing Toshiro to feel self cautious. Turning his face away he felt his chest hurt.

"I don't know what your talking about." he said and turned to leave. "I'm in no need for your nonsense."

"What your leaving?" Gon asked disappointingly. "I just got here."

Toshiro didn't answer him.

"Fine, meet me here by five o clock." he said as if coming up with an idea.

"Hn, as if." Toshiro responded coldly.

"Five o clock!" he cried out as Toshiro disappeared into the crowd.

Walking through the crowd, Toshiro stopped his lips slightly trembling. That boy, there was something familiar about that boys eyes.

"Toshiro, you moved." whined Momo.

"Sorry." he said feeling exhausted. "I guess I'm just not feeling well today."

Momo looked at him for a moment before responding.

"Well why don't you rest a bit." she optioned.

"yeah." he responded.

"It starts with a G-" Toshiro thought deeply.

"Oh come on you don't remember me?" repeated the voice in his head.

"No I don't." responded Toshiro.

"okay, okay, let me give you a hint-." the voice said again. "It starts with a G-"

His memory flashed of a plain of snow covered in blood.

Turquoise eyes opened widely as the silver haired boy woke up

"Gon!" he cried out panting.

"Toshiro, are you okay?" asked Ichigo as he sat up the table.

Looking around Toshiro realized that he had fallen asleep under a tree.

"What time is it?" he asked.

Ichigo looked at him then at his watch.

"Lets see, it's about five-fifteen." he responded.

Toshiro immediately got up and ran past him.

"Toshiro!" called out Ichigo.

Toshiro ignored him and ran quickly through the crowed of people. "Please be there, please be there." his mind pleaded. He looked at the time he was almost five-twenty. Reaching the place, his heart stopped, Gon stood there waiting patiently.

"Hey." he called out waving.

Toshiro faced the floor but walked over towards him.

"I knew you'd come." he said happily.

Toshiro didn't raise his head to face him.

"How- how could you be so certain?" he sadly asked.

Gon thought a moment a little uncertain on how to answer.

"Well because we're friends and friends always come." he answered as if nothing.

Toshiro's face flushed brightly.

"Your name starts with G." The silver haired boy said a bit timidly not wanting to be wrong or childish.

"Yeah." responded the boy.

Toshiro took in a deep breathe. "Gon, is your name Gon?" he asked not wanting to be wrong.

The boy smiled brightly.

"Yeah, you remember now?" he questioned feeling a bit hopeful.

Toshiro still couldn't face him, his throat all of a sudden felt dry. Shaking his head, he felt warm. Looking up he saw that Gon held him in a tight hug.

"Don't worry, you will remember...Killua..."
