Rewritten: 08/15/16
Went back and rewrote the whole chapter. It has been four years since I started writing fanfiction and I feel my writing has gotten better. So I hope you enjoy this new version like you did the first.

~*Violeta*~

So I decide to write this story because I wanted to write about what it would be like if a fan of bleach fell into the bleach world and she had to choice between two of her favorite characters. So hopefully u like.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach

Chapter One: What the Hell?

I slowly open my eyes blinking a couple of times, adjusting them to the dark janitor closet, where I was still lock away in. Some idiots thought it would be funny to lock the outsider of me in a closet that had no lights or a way out after it closes. Stumbling around the closet I try looking for a light switch or the door at least. My hands stumble against the cool door knob and I sigh in relief. Doing one of the stupidest thing I could think of, I knock on the door, hoping someone stupid enough would come to the door and open it. I was surprise when someone actually open the door and I saw one of the teachers standing there.

"Wrong door and got locked in. Won't happen again!" I said running off to PE before she could scowl me. I had already missed lunch and I wasn't planning on being late for PE.

I sprint down the hallways of my crowded school, zigging around everyone; making sure not to touch them. I want to avoid hearing whatever insult they have ready for me today. Taking two at a time down the steps and finally running around the corner. As I round the corner I see a couple of girls going into the locker room and quickly grab the door just as the bell rang. I walk into the locker and the teacher just looks at me.

"Save by the bell Vazquez!" She shouts amuse.

I just sigh in relief heading towards my locker to change, walking past the same giggling girls who lock me in the closet. An uneasy sigh left my lips as I try not to make eye contact with them, hoping they would leave me alone.

I took my book bag off as all three of them were walking past me and "accidentally" bump into me; pushing me against my locker. I softly rub my throbbing shoulder. Quickly scanning the empty locker room just to make sure no one was around, I quickly change into my PE uniform which consists of a white t-shirt and black shorts. I didn't want anyone to see the bruises on my stomach and back.

Last night was a rough night, my father was drunk out of his mind and my step-mother was stone. I took all of my father's anger punches and kicks. My eyes slightly tear up at the thought of my screaming father. I swiftly wipe them away before someone saw me and ask questions. I quickly put on my black shorts with a pair of white sneakers and made my way into the gym.

"Alright, listen up, today we will be running laps!" Mrs. Grey my PE teacher yell, catching everyone's attention. "Gather up around the start line so I can explain what we will be doing!" she order sternly as we walk over to the starting line.

"Two of you will start from here and jump over the wooden fences who ever reaches the finish line first wins." Mr. Toro my other PE teacher explain calmly. Everyone simply nod their head in understanding.

"First up, Vazquez and Lockhart!" Mrs. Grey shouts.

I inwardly groan but reluctantly made my way to the starting line. Lexi Lockhart, one of the stupid blonds that lock me in the closet push past me.

"You are going to lose bitch." she hiss-whisper into my ear as she stood beside me.

I just took my stance closing my eyes trying to drain out everyone's voices. I focus my sight towards the finish line up ahead. I took a couple of deep breaths waiting for the sound of the whistle. As I stood there clearing my mind for some strange reason the Bleach song "Number One" starts to play in my head, I just smile.

'Bleach is my favorite anime. I swear sometimes it's the only thing that keeps me sane.' I thought contentedly.

I hear the whistle and took off not bothering to see if Lexi was beside, ahead or behind me. I just ran and ran, it felt so nice. It felt like I was free from whatever was holding me down to this world. I swiftly jump over the first fence and continue jumping over the reset of them. After jumping over 8 of them I run start to the finish line. I slow down once I reach the finish line and turn around seeing Lexi come in about 30 seconds or so later after me.

I smile blissfully to myself at this small victory against Lexi. I bend over resting my hands on my bent knees panting softly.

"Nice job Catalina." Mrs. Grey said happily patting my shoulder.

I slowly stood up right again walking away from everyone and sat down on a nearby bench. I sat there waiting for the rest of my class to finish. Sitting there I look up at the bright blue sky apathetically, sighing softly.

'Today is Tuesday a new episode of Bleach will probably be up by the time I get home.' I thought thrill. 'Sometimes I wish my life was like the Bleach world. That way I wouldn't be laughed at, mistreated, or abused. But we don't always get what we want now do we.' I thought dejectedly as I continue to stare at the passing clouds.

I stood by my locker quickly grabbing the books I need to do my homework before heading home. I wanted to get home as soon as possible before my parents got wasted. I don't think I have what it takes to stand another beating from my drunk father today. Reaching my house I could hear them shouting already it seem to be coming from the living room. I nervously stood by the close front door. My shaking hand slowly took a hold of the cold door knob.

'It's ok Kat, just open the door and make a run for your room. They won't even notice you.' I thought fretfully.

I took a deep breath and quickly open and close the door speed walking towards the stairs. I took two at a time up the stairs without making a sound. I knew better than to know let them know I was home. Reaching my bedroom door I softly open it and silently shut my door. I discreetly place my bag on the floor and walk over to my laptop turning it on so I could do my homework. I turn my music on playing a random playlist and "Get out Alive" by Three Days Grace softly fill my room.

It was about 6pm when I suddenly hear my father shouting as he made his way upstairs towards my room. I quickly ran over to the door, lock it and push my dresser over the door for extra safety. I grab my iPod, cellphone and walk towards my window opening. Slowly I climb out looking down, measuring the distance, I took a deep breath and jump down to the ground. My already body aching body protested painfully from my shit of landing. I slowly stood up steadying myself, taking a deep breath and softly rub my sore sides.

'I wasn't going to let a couple of bruises stop me.' I thought determinedly.

"Hey bitch, what are you doing?" I suddenly hear my stepmother yelling at me from behind.

Startle I turn around and look at her surprise, I didn't expect her to be outside. Out of instance I did the first thing my brain could think of. I ran. If there was anything I was good at it was running. I ran for dear life not bothering to look behind me to see if she or my father were following me.

I didn't even bother slowing down as I felt the first couple of raindrops start to fall, a low rumbling of thunder at the distance. My insides chanting the something over and over, 'If I didn't want to die or get hurt, I had to keep running.' That thought was the only reason I kept running.

I continue running down the dimly lit streets, freezing cold rain drops splashing against my bear skin like bullets. I cover my ears as thunder rumble loudly around me, but I kept running. I was running alongside the riverbank when suddenly my foot slip causing me to fall sideways into the river. As I roll down the riverbank I desperately try to grab onto something, anything, to stop me from falling into the rushing water below. My hand suddenly grab ahold of tree root, I tighten my grip on it, holding onto it for dear life.

Sighing I glance down at the raging river, cold rain drops ran down my cheeks mixing in with my warm tears. Looking back up I try to steady myself so I could pull myself up. But as I try to pull myself up I felt the root snapping, causing me to freeze in my spot. My grip tighten desperately, I felt my breathing momentarily stop as I beg to the universe to help me.

'I don't want to die. I don't! I just wanted a nice life with loving parents, friends, and someone to love me!' I thought desperately. My terrify eyes stare at the slowly breaking root.

*snap*

The root suddenly gave out, my screams were drown out by the loud thunder as I fell. Everything seem to go quiet as my sore body slam into the cold rushing water, causing me to scream out in pain. I quickly regret that action as water rushes into my lungs. Kicking my aching legs I desperately try to swim to the surface but the current was too strong. I'm slowly drowning.

'So, this is how my life ends, by drowning. Well, at least it wasn't painful and wasn't by my parents' hands.' I thought sadly, slowly giving way to the dark abyss.

I let my body sink deeper into the river waiting until I hit the bottom of the river, waiting for the end, an end that never seem to come. I didn't think the river was this deep.

Suddenly the current pick up and my half-conscious body begins to drift away. Through half open eyes I watch the water drag me away to who knows where. In the mist of the new rushing water I felt my mind go temporarily blank, it was like I suddenly stop thinking and the strangest sensation wash over me. It felt like I was suddenly forgetting something really important. But those thoughts quickly cut short as I somehow broke surface and the air came rushing to my desperately pleading lungs. Black spots cover my vision as the bright sunlight blinds me.

'What the hell happened?' I thought groggily.

I couldn't comprehend what was going on, my body didn't bother to try to stay afloat; it was too sore and numb.

'I just don't want to fight anymore.'

"HEY!" I hear a concern voice yelling as I slowly start to sink back into the water again.

'That voice sounds familiar...why do I feel like I know that voice...? I don't know anyone. I don't talk to anyone, so, who?' I thought in confusion as I slip into the darkness, the sweet and safe darkness.

"HEY!" I hear them yell again, but it somewhat fades away because of the water.

'Strange though, I don't remember seeing anyone by the riverbank either. Plus who would be out in such a storm?' But still the nagging feeling that the voice sounds familiar ran through my body. 'The voice sounds so familiar I feel like I hear every day. But I don't talk to anyone.' That was my final thought as my mind finally drifts off to the dark oblivion. My eyes slowly close but not before getting small glimpse of something orange heading my way.

"Do you think she will be alright?" I hear a very sweet voice ask concern, by the pitch I could tell it was a child.

"Dad said she will be fine, she is just tried and needs her rest." I hear another girl's voice speak in a somewhat bored manner. "So relax Yuzu." She adds calmly.

'Yuzu…that name sounds familiar.' I thought confuse, my mind is so frizzy and confuse it can't understand what's going on. 'I should be dead. But I'm not. What the hell happen?' I thought distress, my stomach cringe painfully in anxiety not knowing what was going on.

"It's also thanks to big brother, if he hadn't been walking by the riverbank earlier today he wouldn't have seen the girl drowning." I hear the girl known as Yuzu add happily.

I finally decide to try and move, trying to make them aware of the fact that I'm finally awake. I groan painfully as I try moving my legs and arms, I forcefully try to open my tried eyes. I cringe at the bright sunlight, slowly lifting my arm up to cover up my eyes. I groan again loudly at the sudden movement of my arm.

"She's awake Karin!" I hear the girl known as Yuzu shout and I hear someone else run towards the door.

"Dad! She's awake!" I hear another girl shout from outside the room.

I rub my tire eyes letting them get use the sunlight and I slowly try to sit up. When I suddenly felt someone softly help me to set upright.

"Don't push yourself so much. Here let me help you." She offer happily as she help me.

I finally open my eyes adjusting them to the brightly lit room. I scan the white looking room, it seem to be a clinic of some sort.

'Strange I don't remember there being one of these around my house.' I thought bewilder, I turn to look over at the girl and to thank her. I gasp shock when I made eye contact with the little girl in front of me.

A sweet gently smile cover her face, her dark brown eyes look at me with concern.

'Yuzu Kurosaki! Ichigo Kurosaki's little sister! Holy crap! Seriously what the hell happened? Does this mean I'm dead? Is this what heaven is like? No but I wouldn't be in such pain if I was dead...right?' I thought mystify, along with fear. My brain was going into overload, it couldn't grasp what was going on. Honestly it feels like I have gone insane.

"Uh...can you tell me what happen Yu- little girl." I bite my tongue before I call her by her name. I couldn't say name yet until she introduce herself or things could get weird real quick. But it didn't seem she notice my almost saying of her name.

"We were hoping you could tell us what happen." I look up at the door, Isshin Kurosaki himself was standing there, looking at me seriously. I just stare at him shock.

"Uh, last thing I remember was running..." That part was true at least. Lie after lie surge through my brain, I'm trying to think about what I should or shouldn't say. "Then I trip!" I stutter-yell nervously "Yeah, I trip somehow and fell into the river!"

"You must be hungry, I'll go make you some breakfast!" Yuzu suddenly adds happily, changing the subject quickly. She walk out of the room with Karin behind her. Isshin walk over to me and sat beside.

"You said you were running. From what?" He question seriously, taking a hold of my hand, checking my pulse.

"Oh so you're wake, that's all of the fuss." Suddenly another voice comes from the doorway.

I knew that voice. I have hear that bored tone mix with a hint of anger, I have been listening to that voice for over 7 years now. Looking up at the door I gasp silently, my mouth gaping open like a fish out of the water. There he stood. Ichigo Kurosaki. Ichigo Kurosaki was standing right in front of me, he's usual scowl plaster all over his face. He yawn slightly ruffling his messy bright orange hair. Finally our eyes lock, I stare deep into his amber eyes shellshock. I quickly look away feeling the deep blush creep across my cheeks, a raging storm of butterflies started up in the pit of my stomach.

Isshin snap me out of my blushing when he voice the one question I didn't want to answer yet, "Whoever you were running away from...were they the ones who gave you all these bruises?" Isshin ask seriously, gently touching my back. I flinch in pain when he had barely touch me.

I lick my usually dry lips trying to figure what to say, "I was running away from my home." I start of slowly, "My parents did this to me." I whisper softly, grabbing a fist full of the sheets around me. "I guess, I wasn't watching were I was going and I tripped." I explain nonchalantly. "Causing me to fall into the river." I state softly, adding an awkward laugh.

"It's not funny, you could have died if I hadn't pulled you out idiot!" Ichigo yelled at me angrily.

I glance up at him surprise, "You saved me?" I ask confuse.

He just look at me with his normal scowling face.

"Yeah." Ichigo reply simply.

"Thank you." I thank him happily, smiling at him softly.

He just look at me surprise and quickly look away, but I could still see the bright red blush on his cheeks.

"Just don't do it again." He mutter annoy and I just smile.

"Breakfast is ready!" Yuzu states happily walking into the room.

She walks over to me happily placing a wood tray on my lap.

"So what's your name?" Karin ask slightly interest.

"Catalina Vazquez." I answer softly looking at the food weirdly and then stare at the chopsticks. I was pretty sure my eye was doing that weird eye twitching thing by now.

"So you aren't from around here?" Isshin ask surprise.

"No, my father got a job here in Karakura Town and we barely move here. I'm still not use to anything...especially the food. Uh, do you mind if I use a fork?" I ask sheepishly and Yuzu just giggle gently.

"Of course!" She said happily running down to the kitchen.

"I guess we should call the cops so they can take care of this." Ichigo suggest seriously, sitting down on a nearby chair.

I start to panic, 'That won't be such a good idea. Since technically I don't even exist in this world.' I thought anxiously.

"Uh, no, that's not necessary!" I said waving my hands nervously. "This is nothing! I'm used to it! Please don't call the cops!" I plead with Isshin. Karin and Ichigo just looked at me like if I had grown a three head or like if I was crazy. "Please." I beg softly.

I guess they saw the legit fear in my eyes and they sigh softly and just nod.

"But you can't go back to your home." Ichigo adds seriously.

I look at them sadly, 'I wouldn't have a home to go to anyway.'

"Then she can stay with us right dad?" Yuzu suddenly ask, standing by the door with a fork in her hands at the verge of tears.

"I mean Yuzu is right, we can't just leave her out in the streets." Karin adds seriously, crossing her arms and Isshin just looks at everyone.

'Actually I'm kind of surprise about how serious he has been. I mean, sure he's a doctor and all and there are times that it requires for him to be serious, but still. I never thought I would see the day.' I wonder amuse at Isshin's unusual character.

"Alright." He finally declare seriously. He went unusually quiet then out of nowhere he bursts into tears, running out of the room. We could hear him making his way into another part of the house. Mine and everybody's sweat drop at his sudden reaction.

'Oh yeah, that's the Isshin I know.'

"Masaki!" I hear him shout tearfully. "We have a new member to the family! I swear! I will protect her and treat her like another daughter!" Isshin continue yelling from somewhere inside the house. I could only assume he was standing in front of the huge picture of Misaki, hugging it as he yell and cry.

"Big sister Catalina, welcome to the family!" Yuzu spoke happily, tearfully handing me the fork. "I'm Yuzu Kurosaki by the way." She introduce herself politely. "And this is my twin sister Karin Kurosaki." Yuzu points at her sister standing next to her.

Karin lazily wave at me, "Hey." She simply greets, smiling softly at me.

"And this is our older brother Ichigo!" Yuzu adds happily pointing at Ichigo.

He was looking at me, it was like he was trying to figure something out as he look at me. I smile at him nervously, shyly waving at him as he continue to stare at me. Suddenly he realize I was waving at him and he embarrassingly look away.

"It's nice to meet you all." I said happily looking at them.

'I still couldn't believe this was happening, it feels like a dreams.' I thought bewilder at what was going on. 'Maybe this won't be so bad. I mean, who cares if I was dead. This is better than my last life. But if I'm not dead then I will eventually have to go back home. I don't belong here. With me being here, I could change a lot of stuff that isn't supposed to be change.' I thought as I analyze everything that could go wrong if I stay here, a small frown slip onto my face, but I try to cover up with a smile.

I look up at the Kurosaki family as they happily chatter and banter around with each other. My small frown slowly change to a smile again.

'But until that time comes, I'm just going to enjoy my new life here.' I thought happily taking a bite of my food.
